Chapter 39: The Hand in the Shadows
Silent!
Jiang Danwu's sudden release of this heavy information made Wei Hongxuan fall silent, although there had been such speculations before, but both he and Situ Yi thought that the probability of such a possibility was too low.
Although Wei Hongxuan knew that the relationship between Jiang Danwu and that person was not as he said, one thing was certain, that is, Jiang Danwu had found a backer, a strong backer!
Jiang Danwu sat on the side, looking at his nose and his heart, waiting for the other party's next step.
"Danwu, if I didn't guess, the person in your mouth is very likely to be an alchemy master!" Wei Hongxuan didn't hide it, of course, he also believed that with Jiang Danwu's wit, it was impossible not to guess the identity of the other party, "I wonder if you can introduce me when I see him again?"
"What, you said that god stick is an alchemy master?" Jiang Danwu almost fell from his chair, but because he acted too much, Wei Hongxuan couldn't help but have a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"It's still uncertain, but even if he is not an alchemy master, it can be seen from the quenching fluid that his alchemy attainments will definitely not find a second person in the entire Xingzhao Kingdom. Wei Hongxuan paused for a moment and said: "Since this master has explained to you, it is natural that you can't go against his will, so I don't want this star master's formula for quenching body fluids, but I hope your Jiang family can increase production, what do you think?"
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Hongxuan decided to try to use Jiang Danwu to get close to that master first, if he could get help from the other party, it would definitely bring unimaginable benefits.
As for the formula of the star master's quenching body fluid, as long as the Jiang family is still in the Xingzhao Kingdom, as long as Jiang Danwu is still in the Xingzhao Kingdom, it is not something that he can take away at any time, so there is no need to rush for a while.
"Everything is arranged by the emperor!" To achieve his goal, Jiang Danwu also said with satisfaction: "I will write out the prescription for ordinary quenching body fluid in a while, and as for the star master quenching body fluid, I will also speed up the production, as for the magic stick, oh...... No, as for whether the alchemy master is willing to see the emperor, only he will decide for himself at that time, and please forgive the emperor. ”
"This nature, this nature ......" Wei Hongxuan saw Jiang Danwu say this, he must have made up his mind not to let himself see that alchemy master, but in Xingzhao Kingdom, Wei Hongxuan believed that it was not difficult for him to find someone.
It's a pity that he doesn't know what to say, and the so-called alchemy master in Jiang Danwu's mouth doesn't exist at all.
"Oh, by the way, the intimidation money that the Long family compensated you for has been sent to me, and I originally planned to send it to you, since you are here today, you can bring it back yourself when you go back. Wei Hongxuan seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Emperor Xie!" Jiang Danwu hurriedly thanked him, but he was very unhappy in his heart, the emperor let himself take the compensation of the Long family away from the palace at this time, obviously planning to further push the Jiang family to the opposite side of the major forces, although he was unhappy in his heart, but this matter could not be refused, and it was something he extorted from the Long family, Jiang Danwu categorically had no reason not to want.
At the end of the negotiation, it seemed that both sides had their own plans, and after a few words of greeting each other, Jiang Danwu took a large cart of Longjia compensation and went home.
From Jiang Danwu entering the palace to leaving, it was only a quarter of an hour, and because the emperor retreated, all the major forces in the imperial city couldn't find out what the two were talking about for a while.
They only knew that Jiang Danwu, who released the general's arrows, tied up Xiao Zhifeng, the head of the Xiao family, and forced Jiang Danwu to be released only after Xiao Zhiye compensated, and the moment he entered the palace, he pulled the compensation of the Long family and left.
What did the emperor mean exactly? Everyone was even more confused, and no one could guess what the emperor meant, and their brows furrowed tightly at the news they had received in their hands.
Of course, if the Xiao family knew that the two of them didn't even mention a word about the Xiao family, I don't know if the Xiao family would be so angry that he vomited several liters of blood.
As soon as he left the palace, Jiang Jianchi rushed over with a group of generals, jumped directly into Jiang Danwu's spirit beast car, and with an order, he marched towards the Jiang family at full speed under the escort of all the generals.
"What's going on?" Looking at his father's appearance, Jiang Danwu had a feeling that the things that he had felt uneasy in his heart before had still happened, but as for what it was, he didn't know what it was.
"Xiao Zhifeng and Xiao Zhiye were attacked on the way home......" Jiang Jianchi's face was heavy, and it was difficult for people not to be associated with the Jiang family when such a situation happened to the Xiao family at this time.
Sure enough, Jiang Danwu also frowned, although he didn't know which side of the Lu Dao was the force to make the move at this time, but he had to admit that the time of the other party's shot was extremely accurate, and at this time it undoubtedly pushed the Jiang family further to the cusp.
"The specific situation is still unknown, the Xiao family has blocked the news, and there is no further information for the time being. Jiang Jianchi then asked, "How did you talk to the emperor when you entered the palace?"
"For the time being, the emperor will not make any moves against the Jiang family. While Jiang Danwu answered, he frowned, who would make the move?
Jiang Jianchi looked at his son a little strangely, and for a while he couldn't figure out what kind of means Jiang Danwu used to make the emperor not pursue the matter, although the situation that the Jiang family was facing now was the most complicated time since he took over as the head of the family, but Jiang Jianchi had a relaxed feeling.
He found that he didn't know when Lu Dao began, his son was enough to help him share some of the burden, or to be precise, Jiang Danwu was pulling the burden that should have belonged to him onto his shoulders.
The father and son had their own thoughts, and no one in the carriage spoke, so they hurried and soon rushed to Jiang's house.
At this time, the Jiang family seemed to have entered a state of high combat readiness, and the generals in the palace would stand separately, and the generals scattered all over the imperial city would also quickly rush back.
"Big brother, all aspects are ready. As soon as the father and son sat down, the other six uncles also rushed back to the main hall, although the look on Jiang Danwu was still not good, but at this time they also understood the priority.
"Just get ready, the emperor's side, Danwu has already dealt with it, for the time being, the royal family will not attack the Jiang family, as long as the Xiao family does not move, it is estimated that the turmoil in front of him will pass soon." Jiang Jianchi still reported the situation on his side to several brothers.
"Will the emperor make no move? He won't be deceiving Danwu, right?" Jiang Jianyun frowned slightly, after all, such a big event today, the emperor summoned Jiang Danwu into the palace overnight, so it seems a little unreasonable.
Seeing that Uncle Qi began to consider things from the perspective of the Jiang family, Jiang Danwu felt a lot more satisfied, he made the situation so complicated, and there was also a reason why he hoped to unite the Jiang family under the effect of external pressure, and now it seems that it is developing in the direction he expected.
"Yes, the emperor never mentioned the Xiao family at all. At that moment, Jiang Danwu told the dialogue between himself and the emperor as it was.
Jiang Jianyun waited for his uncle to chew carefully before he found that if there was no sudden incident of the Xiao family's assassination, the seemingly chaotic situation seemed to be under Jiang Danwu's control from the beginning, and even now the Jiang family has taken a great advantage, at least let other forces see the power of the Jiang family, and then they have to weigh their own ideas before they want to fight the Jiang family.
Of course, all this is no longer so important to these uncles, and at this time they only have four words in their hearts, alchemy master!
"Danwu, does that master really want to take you as an apprentice?" Jiang Jianyun suddenly understood in his heart at this time that Jiang Danwu was going to give up the position of head of the family.
A disciple of an alchemy master, it is definitely possible to become a new alchemy master! Compared to such an identity, what can the head of the Jiang family be.
Even if it is the current emperor or the star emperor powerhouse, when he sees the alchemy master, he has to be respectful and respectful, and the number of courtesies is good.
This is also the reason why the Jiang family suddenly became nervous as soon as they heard that the Xiao family was assassinated, purely in terms of strength, even if the Jiang family has been declining over the years, it is definitely not something that the Xiao family can compete with, but Xiao Zhiye, one of the two major alchemists in the entire Xingzhao Kingdom, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some strong people who want to get his favor who will take risks, although the influence of the alchemist will not summon the Star Emperor powerhouse, but even the Star King and Star Spirit are enough for the Jiang family to be in a hurry.
After all, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent!
And now, with the existence of an alchemy master behind Jiang Danwu, the whole situation is very different, and even they feel that the emperor does not ask about this incident, and it has a great relationship with the alchemy master behind Jiang Danwu.
"Yes, now you should believe that I don't care about the position of the head of the family, right?" Jiang Danwu simply admitted, lest these uncles have any small calculations in the future.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the eyes of several uncles looking at Jiang Danwu changed significantly, and they even believed that once Jiang Danwu became a disciple of the alchemy master, if his son could get his support, he would definitely be able to sit on the position of the head of the family.
"Why didn't you say this earlier, it made the uncles ......" Jiang Jianyun is a decisive person, seeing that Jiang Danwu is no longer a threat, he immediately recognized his mistake, hoping to get Jiang Danwu's favor.
"Uncles, don't say that, Danwu has also caused a lot of trouble to the family over the years, but as long as we are united, no one can shake the Jiang family. Although Jiang Danwu himself felt a little disgusted when he said these words, he knew that his uncles were waiting for his reply.
"But Danwu, you still don't go out recently, at least don't go out until the Xiao family's affairs are over, after all, others don't know that there is an alchemy master behind you, and we can't ignore Xiao Zhiye's influence in Xingzhao Kingdom!" Jiang Jianchi was not too excited, but worried about Jiang Danwu's safety.
"It's okay if I don't go out, I just happen to practice at home. Looking at the care in his father's eyes, Jiang Danwu once again understood that although his soul did not belong to this body, his father's family affection was sincere, "But my father doesn't have to worry too much about the Xiao family, we can ......"
