Chapter 66: Things Are Not as They Used To Be

knew that while he was acquainted with Li Jianqiu, their relationship was merely superficial. They had a good impression of each other, but to speak of deep friendship, it wasn't there.If this refusal...Due to the need to apprehend suspects in the Wuyi case, Jiang Wang gained access to the confidential area of the City Patrol Department, where he could review all information the department had gathered on the nearby islands.

And the son of the Northern Barracks Commandant was extremely accommodating, allowing Jiang Wang to learn much information that was completely unnecessary for his mission.

Such as Huai Island, such as Tianya Pavilion, such as Yanggu Valley, even to the various sects scattered on the islands near the sea.

Some untold stories and historical origins are also beyond the scope of this conversation.

He even looked into the full details of Xu Xiangqian's conflict with people over control of the Qiongzhou Islands, far more detailed than Zhou Xuan's gleeful account.

The one who fought with Xu Gao was a young expert named Yang Liu, a direct disciple of the Fishing Sea Building.

They were jealous of a woman named Zhāo Wúyǎn. This woman was said to be a talented Confucian scholar from Lóngmén Academy.

Longmen Academy, renowned as one of the Four Great Academies alongside Qingya Academy, is famous for its expertise in nurturing geniuses. To enter this academy is like leaping over the Dragon Gate, showcasing its formidable reputation.

Just like the Jixia Academy, also known as Qidi Longmen, but when placed throughout the world, it is not widely recognized. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Jixia Academy has strict control and little information leaks out.

The process of Xu Xiangqian and Yang Liu's falling out was also quite dramatic, summed up as: "What are you doing with her" and "What does it have to do with you..."

Then they started fighting.

According to intelligence gathered by the Imperial City Patrol, the two combatants were evenly matched, neither gaining a clear advantage. Unfortunately, the fight took place on Hai Island, which is the headquarters of the Fishing Sea Tower.

Willow branches gently swayed, gathering a group of brothers and sisters together, chasing after Xu Xiangqian like wolves and tigers, sweeping away all traces of civility.

Because of the reputation of Qingya Academy, it was not seriously harmed.

But the rift was formed, and face was lost.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Qingya Academy had little influence in the nearby islands. Li Longchuan, of the Shimen Li clan, personally sailed out to sea, enraged, to stand up for his friend...

All in all, the whole incident was quite amusing. Two prominent young men, for a woman, ended up acting like street ruffians, gathering a crowd and engaging in a disgraceful brawl.

Jiang Wang smiled inwardly, but he couldn't help but feel curious about the protagonist of the event, Zhao Wuyan from Longmen Academy.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

I'm quite curious about this person. What kind of charm could make even Xu Gao, someone who has seen the world and isn't easily fooled, fall for them That kid is not one to take a loss lying down.

Having already read up on the information about the Near Sea Islands and seen Xia Gao's impressive resume, Jiang Wang remembered something and asked, "I heard that Hua Ying Palace Master beat Yan Fu up. Why was that I'm quite curious. Where is the detailed account recorded"

Before, Chongxuan had told him about this. Afterwards, because of Zhū Bì Qióng's matter, he forgot to ask again.

After that, he thought it over and decided not to ask Chong Xuansheng, lest the fat man become smug and take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him.

Zheng Shangming's face darkened: "Those matters are not recorded by our Inspectorate."

Jiang Wang knew at a glance that for matters concerning the Dachi royal family, the Inspectorate might have records, perhaps records only accessible to those with specific permissions. In short, out of respect for the powerful, it's not easy to make them public.

He wouldn't put his friends in an awkward position so he just nodded and said, "It's no problem, I was just asking out of curiosity."

Zheng Shangming smiled: "But I happen to know a bit about this. It seems that Yan Xiang's grandson broke off an engagement first, and Hua Yinggongzhu, wanting to help her friend, reprimanded him."

Although Yan Ping had retired from public life for many years, people still habitually referred to him as "Yan Xiang," which demonstrates how deeply rooted his status was in the hearts of the people of Qi.

"I haven't heard that before." Jiang Wang remembered that back when he was in the Western Region, Chong Xuan Sheng had vaguely mentioned that Yan Fu was going to be arranged for a marriage. Later, he hadn't connected this matter with Jiang Wuyou beating him up.

He couldn't help but inquire, "Which woman is it"

"The Liu family," Zheng Shangming smiled, then steered the conversation away, unwilling to say more.

Of course, all of this is just idle chatter.

Isn't that what they call fate

As soon as Jiang Wang just stepped out of the gate of the Imperial Guard Office, a servant in blue clothes and a small cap came forward and said respectfully: "Sir Jiang, my young master invites you to come for a meeting."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Who is your young master" Jiang Wang asked.

The servant replied respectfully, "I am a servant of the Yan family. My young master is an old acquaintance of yours."

Greetings!

It wasn't until he stepped out of the Imperial City Inspection Department that people started to talk about him.

To be precise, it was An Fu's servant who had been waiting here for a long time.

Where is it

Yan Fu could be considered one of his more approachable friends in Linzi City, and it had been a long time since they'd seen each other. Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel a bit of joy.

But there are also doubts.

With An's gentle and placid temperament, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to ignore Jiang Wang's presence. Instead of meeting him directly, he would wait there and have his servants invite Jiang Wang.

“Follow me,” the servant whispered.

In Linzi City, there was no fear of being abducted. Ginger looked suppressed his curiosity and followed the servant out.

Passing through the bustling crowds of the main street, he turned into a narrow alley. Pushing open a slightly ajar door, Yan Fu stood right behind it.

"I apologize, Brother Jiang," he said, bowing to Jiang Wang.

This small courtyard is actually very close to the city guard's headquarters, just a short distance away. You can even see the eaves of the city guard's headquarters from within the courtyard.

Jiang Wang looked around and smiled: "I didn't expect the Yan family to have another estate here."

“These were bought hastily for the sake of seeing Brother Jiang,” Yan Fu said casually, gesturing behind him. “Brother Jiang returned to Qi, and I only received news rather late, otherwise, I would have welcomed you with proper hospitality. The preparations are somewhat rushed, please don't mind, Brother Jiang.”

Behind him was a lavish banquet, with jeweled birds and jade beasts, dragon pastries and phoenix wine. At a glance, one could see the word "noble" written all over it.

It can only be said that the "hurriedness" of wealthy families differs from the common understanding.

And in order to entertain Jiang Wang as soon as he left the city for inspection, he bought a courtyard here temporarily.

Though this courtyard is small, it's close to the Imperial City Inspection Department, so the land price can't be cheap. Since it was a spur-of-the-moment purchase, we need to handle it quickly, and I fear the price might double.

But in Yan Fu's mouth, it was so commonplace.

How profound is the word "wealth"!

>

"Is this still considered hasty" Jiang Wang smiled. "You should know that when Chongxuan greeted me that day, he had a whole half pot of tea prepared, and he even drank half of it himself!"

Having said that, he explained further: "It's not that Jiang has forgotten his old friends. It's just that urgent matters are keeping me busy. I'm extremely preoccupied and have no time to spare. So, I didn't inform you all."

“I don't blame Brother Jiang at all,” Yan Fu waved his hand. “Gao Zhe returned to Jinghai, Long Chuan and Xiang Qian went to Huai Island, you should inform them, they won't be able to come. As for me...”

"Speaking of this, he let out a wry smile: 'I also have to find some time, in order to sneak and meet with old friends.'"

The few people he mentioned were those who used to gather together in Linzi years ago to drink and have fun.

Here is the direct grandson of General Qi Xiang, the eldest son of the head of the Shimen Li clan, a high disciple of Qingya Academy, and the young master of the Jinghai Gao clan... In Linzi, one could not only walk sideways but also lie flat in most places.

I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Xu Xiangqian and Yan Fufan would be at a loss... It's really a different world. It makes people laugh... Ah no, it's heartwarming.
