Chapter 113 No, just upgrade (Subscribe)
In the carriage, Chu Wujiang and Huo Qiushui sat face to face. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Our relationship is not suitable to be disclosed for the time being."
"Once exposed, the alliance between the three parties will collapse in an instant."
“In order to avoid this from happening, the Huo family needs to oppose the Chu family’s opinions in some harmless ways.”
Chu Wujiang wanted to form a three-party alliance and then use the three-party alliance to unify the nobles and various forces in Longzhou.
One advantage of this is that his fortune will become stronger.
He used to be the only son of a noble family, and later he became the son of Longcheng County. In the future he will become the leader of Longzhou and earn more resources and auspicious things for himself.
Don’t think that Chu Wujiang seems to be very relaxed after obtaining various treasures of luck.
If he were born a commoner, it would be a question whether he could get one.
Therefore, as a member of the Prince's Party, he should manage Longzhou on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Huo Qiushui nodded in agreement:
"Don't worry, sir. I understand."
"If you have anything to tell me, please let someone notify Rou'er. She will tell me as quickly as possible."
"As for the Thunder Prison Sword Technique, it has the same origin as the Huo family's "Thunder Mad Sword"."
"There is also this copy of the "Extreme Prison Lightning Art", which contains the experience of the Huo family's cultivation over the generations. Please accept it, sir."
Chu Wujiang was slightly stunned and shook his head:
"This is the Huo family's top-secret martial arts. Why would Master Huo do this?"
Huo Qiushui smiled gently:
"Your Excellency was valued by Mr. Qin and chosen as the Son of Destiny. Whether it is true or not is not important."
"Mr. Qin will definitely teach you the relevant martial arts."
"The Thunder Prison Sword Technique is even better than the Thunder Mad Sword Technique, so I might as well take the initiative and attack, and I can also gain your favor."
Huo Qiu Shui made his words very clear.
The spirit of the hero flag has recognized Chu Wujiang's identity and is willing to cultivate him vigorously.
Then it doesn’t matter whether the Huo family’s martial arts are given or not.
Huo Qiu Shui did this just to make a statement, to express his loyalty and to gain more good relations for the Huo family.
The best way to invest in a unicorn is in the past, the second best way is now.
This was Huo Qiu Shui's judgment as the head of the family, and she decided to go all in.
Anyway, Chu Wujiang will soon have the opportunity to obtain these two skills, so she attached the Huo family's cultivation experience, such as the use of thunder magic and the precautions of "Extreme Prison Lightning Art".
Chu Wujiang closed his eyes slightly, and he saw that his fortune had changed again:
[Book Owner: Chu Wujiang]
[Fortune: Blessed by the Taoist Sect (orange), Hero’s descendant (purple), Son of Longcheng County (blue), Alliance of Three Families (blue), Uncle is like a father (green), Prince’s gang (white), Unexpected disaster (gray), Offending adults (gray), Bullying teachers and destroying ancestors (black)]
It adds a new fortune - Hero's Descendant (Purple).
The heroes here refer to the heroic camp of the former champion marquis.
Chu Wujiang obtained this part of the inheritance and gained the recognition of Mr. Qin, which made the Huo family cooperate more with the Chu family.
At the same time, the fortunes of the three alliances (blue) also improved, which means that Chu Wujiang’s voice in the alliance has greatly increased.
The strength of fortune is not constant.
For example, [Princelings (White)] does not mean that the Princelings have bad luck, but that Chu Wujiang belongs to the outer layer of the Princelings and is a fence-sitter.
If Chu Wujiang deeply intervenes in the Prince's Party's sphere of influence and becomes a core backbone, then his fortune will be promoted from white, green, to blue.
Chu Wujiang understood Huo Qiu Shui's choice and will through the changes in his fortune and her performance.
[If I succeed, then the Huo family will at least be one of the earliest investors and will be able to reap the benefits together.]
[If I fail, then Huo Qiushui will be the sole decision maker, and it has nothing to do with the Huo family.]
[No wonder Shunyi Bo chose her to be the head of the family. Her ability to make decisions far exceeds that of others.]
Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment and accepted the two martial arts.
But along the way, Huo Qiu Shui almost dominated the entire situation. Even though Chu Wujiang reaped a lot of rewards, he always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that the carriage was about to arrive, Chu Wujiang came up to Huo Qiushui and chuckled:
"I accept the kindness of Patriarch Huo."
"It's just that Chu prefers absolute loyalty."
"If you want to earn more benefits, come on." Phew!
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Chu Mansion. Without waiting for Huo Qiu Shui to speak, Chu Wujiang got off the carriage with a smile and drove away.
Huo Qiushui was slightly stunned, looking at Chu Wujiang's receding figure, and whispered:
"Lord Longcheng is so greedy."
……
As soon as Chu Wujiang returned home, the old butler appeared at the right time. He always jumped out to report work when Chu Wujiang needed it:
"Master, the Huo family has sent some books, saying they are materials related to the Champion Marquis."
"The old servant ordered people to sort and stack them and put them in the study."
"Would the master of the house like to eat first, or go and look up some books?"
Chu Wujiang was surprised when he heard this. The Huo family was really efficient. When he came back in the carriage, the Huo family had already sent someone to deliver the book to the Chu Mansion at full speed.
[Perhaps after reading these books, I will be able to find out the whereabouts of Nangong Hen. ]
Chu Wujiang felt somewhat uneasy after meeting Old Man Qin. According to his ability of [foreknowledge and avoidance of danger], he was afraid that another disaster was about to happen.
After all, his behaviors of [sudden misfortune], [offending elders], [disrespecting teachers and ancestors], etc., have not been truly eliminated.
So he tried his best to buy time to find out the whereabouts of Nangong Hen.
"Uncle Fu, I'll read first. Put the food in the study. I'll read while I eat."
The old butler felt a little distressed, but he could only bow his head and reply:
"Yes, master."
Chu Wujiang nodded and walked into the study. The study was not big, but it was full of books. At a glance, there were at least more than a hundred books.
For example, "The Legend of Guanjun Hou", "The Ghost Suppression Records of Sitianjian", "Nangong Family" and so on.
The Huo family put a lot of effort into exploring the treasure of the former champion marquis.
Chu Wujiang realized that he was still naive. How could he finish reading these more than a hundred books in such a short time?
No wonder the Huo family didn't care much about it and didn't think they could find any clues from these documents.
[No, I'll try.]
Chu Wujiang suddenly closed his eyes and his soul left his body.
His soul reached the level of night wandering, and could split into ten thoughts. These thoughts were like his soul tentacles, enabling him to see everything around him clearly.
One thought turned up the pages of a book, two thoughts turned up the pages of two books, and so on. Chu Wujiang's reading speed suddenly increased.
He can read ten books at a time, with scenes from different books appearing before his eyes.
"The Nangong family assisted the Emperor Wu, defied the will of heaven, and was exterminated..."
"Nangong Hen, whose real name is unknown, is the orphan of the Nangong family and the younger brother of Nangong Wang, the Marquis of Guanjun..."
"Nangong Hen arranged the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation, using the tens of millions of resentful souls of Longzhou as fuel, and finally opened the Ghost Gate, attracting the seven ghost kings to descend. The ghost kings commanded the ten thousand ghosts, leaving a thousand miles of scorched earth, and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect got its name..."
"The Imperial Astronomical Bureau has joined forces with Lay Buddhist Shenghua, Zen Master Zhiguang, and Master Xuande to suppress the seven ghost kings..."
"In the 250th year of Emperor Hao, Nangong Hen had attempted many plots but failed. He wanted to attract the evil spirit to possess him, break the Saint Emperor's formation, and bring disaster to the people. Fortunately, he was warned by a righteous man, and was eventually killed by the Imperial Astronomical Observer and the Celestial Immortal on Ghost Crying Ridge..."
"Since Nangong Hen's death, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect has fallen into decline and it is no longer possible for it to become a giant in the demonic world. It is not as good as the evil forces such as the Demon God Palace and the Burning Heaven Sect. The gravekeeper can suppress them."
Chu Wujiang closed his eyes and flipped through the ten or so books in the study. He relied on ten thoughts to speed up his progress. Even when Yanluo brought him food, he did not react.
【If we go by the records in the book, he is indeed dead. 】
[Si Tianjian, Tai Shi Ling, Tian Xiang Zhenren, this seems to be flawless. 】
[It seems to be very difficult for Nangong Hen to hide the truth from these people and fake his death to escape. ]
Chu Wujiang felt a little dizzy. Although he had ten thoughts divided into ten soul tentacles reading at the same time, his brain could not bear so much information and memory.
[My brain is not working well enough, I can't see what's wrong with it. 】
Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and then made a decision.
【Then I will upgrade my brain. 】
Wenyun: Reform and innovation (Qing), this time it’s your turn to upgrade.
