Chapter 101: Ascendancy (5)
After leaving the inn, Jiang Yuan rode all the way towards the rudder of the Star Demon Sea.
Whether the father and daughter of the Wu family were instructed by others is not the point.
The people behind this matter must be inseparable from the Star Demon Sea.
Jiang Yuan just wanted to know at this time whether the entire Star Demon Sea was against him, or just a part of the people within it.
The rudder of the Star Demon Sea soon arrived, and Jiang Yuan stepped towards the central hall.
In the hall, You Mingxuan and the four elders were already waiting.
As soon as he saw Jiang Yuan, You Mingxuan greeted him with a smile:
"Congratulations to Jiang Shaoxia for completing the task of joining the gang! In the future, Jiang Shaoxia will be a brother in the gang! Regarding Jiang Shaoxia's position in the gang, I have already discussed with the elders. He also asked Jiang Shaoxia to serve as the incense master of the Red Tiger Altar, and at the same time participate in the affairs of the elders, and officially became an elder when the chief helm was appointed. I don't know what Jiang Shaoxia thinks?"
Jiang Yuan smiled:
"But it's irreverent. ”
You Mingxuan laughed, and then continued:
"Then, I will ask Elder Shangguan to introduce the affairs of the gang to Lord Jiang Xiang. I still have important things to deal with, so I am out of company. ”
"Wait!" the smile on Jiang Yuan's face disappeared as he said, "Lord You, while I was working hard for the gang, someone tried to disadvantage my righteous daughter. You have to give me an explanation for this matter. ”
The corner of You Mingxuan's eyes jumped, and he continued to smile:
"Lord Jiang Xiang, this matter has already come to an end. The traffickers have been taken into custody by the gang. As for the matter of demons and ghosts, the night guard may promise to deal with it, and the gang will also send someone to supervise it. In fact, this was a complete accident, and if you want to blame it, the people of the Wu family are bold and reckless, and they dare to take the two young ladies of Jiang Xiang out of the city in the middle of the night, so that they are in danger. How to deal with Jiang Xiang, the person of the Wu family, I promise that there will be absolutely no favoritism!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes were cold, You Mingxuan said this completely equivalent to not saying it.
What did he mean by that, was he behind the scenes? or...... He has a reliance on him, and he already thinks that he can hold himself down?
Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and You Mingxuan and the four elders couldn't help but change their faces slightly.
The atmosphere froze for a long time, and Jiang Yuan suddenly laughed:
"Well, since it was an accident, then I won't pursue it too much. Those human traffickers are still bothering Lord Yu Helm to hand it over to me. ”
You Mingxuan's face was a little embarrassed:
"Master Jiang Xiang, I'm really embarrassed. Although the gang of traffickers has been taken into custody by the gang, the good helmsman has already explained, and no one can move lightly without his orders. ”
Jiang Yuan was slightly puzzled:
"Is it ......?"
You Mingxuan nodded:
"It is Gong Liangyi, this time the head of Xu Shanding, the master of the Flying Eagle Hall of the Green Dragon Society, was taken by him, which can be regarded as the first achievement. Therefore, the chief helmsman has appointed him as the helmsman of Lingcheng, and he will go to Lingcheng to take up his post in the next two days. If Lord Jiang Xiang has other opinions about those traffickers, it is better to ask the Lord of Gongliang Helm. ”
Jiang Yuan understood, no wonder You Mingxuan dared to deal with this matter lightly, it turned out that he relied on Gongliangyi.
I don't know if he plans to use the martial artist Gongliangyi, who seems to have returned to the sect realm, to suppress himself, or if he already knows that Gongliangyi is the identity of a child of the Gong family.
However, judging from the position arrangements between himself and Gongliangyi, Jiang Yuan also roughly understands.
The two teamed up to complete the task of joining the gang, and they only became a master of incense, and even the elders were temporary. But Gongliangyi directly became the helmsman of the rudder.
Eight or nine are not far from ten, and Gongliangyi's true identity has been known by the Star Demon Sea.
Immediately Jiang Yuan said:
"Okay, then I'll go to the helmsman and ask for clarification. ”
Gongliangyi himself will see him sooner or later, and he will definitely look for him.
You Mingxuan smiled:
"Then I'll miss the company first, Lord Jiang Xiang, please take care of yourself. ”
After finishing speaking, You Mingxuan left with the three elders, leaving only a graceful woman.
The woman is about forty years old, but she is very well maintained, and the are half old, and the charm is still there.
There was a strong fragrance on her body, and she said to Jiang Yuan with a smile:
"Shangguan Shu of the slave family, I am willing to introduce the affairs of the gang to Lord Jiang Xiang. ”
Jiang Yuan's eyes kept staring at the direction You Mingxuan left, and replied casually:
"Elder Shangguan is polite. ”
Shangguan Shu saw Jiang Yuan's appearance, smiled, lowered her voice and said:
"Lord Jiang Xiang has misunderstood Lord You Helm. Last night's incident, because it involved an important person in the gang, the Helmsman had to bring out the Gongliang Helmsman, hoping to calm down the matter. ”
Jiang Yuan turned his head in surprise and looked at Shangguan Shu squarely. I don't understand why this woman would say this to herself.
He asked, "What does Elder Shangguan mean by this?"
I only heard Shangguan Shu continue:
"In the rudder, there were originally eight elders, and four of them were going to Lingcheng to establish the rudder. Then there were still four elders left, and the power of each elder could be said to have doubled, and some people didn't want another Elder Jiang to divide power. However, he knew that Jiang Xiang's martial arts were world-famous, so he could only find Jiang Xiang's weaknesses......"
Jiang Yuan asked with a strange smile:
"Elder Shangguan is reluctant to divide the power?"
Shangguan Shu smiled:
"Those who are reluctant to share power are just beyond their means. The slave family has an apprentice who is not a weapon, called Jade Niang. When Yu Niang returned yesterday, she swore to the slave family that the master of Jiang Xiang was attacked by the tree demon and there was no chance of survival. However, Lord Jiang Xiang came back today unharmed...... The slave family already knew that Master Jiang Xiang was by no means something that those who played intrigue could contend with. ”
Jiang Yuan heard that Yu Niang's face changed, and said in a deep voice:
"Elder Shangguan has a good disciple!"
Shangguan Shu bowed slightly to Jiang Yuan:
"My unscrupulous disciple was greedy for a while, and thought that Lord Jiang Xiang had no hope of surviving, so he took Lord Jiang Xiang's belongings away. The slave family has made amends for the master of Jiang Xiang here, the master of Jiang Xiang has just arrived in Pengcheng and has no place to live, and the slave family has arranged a house for the master of Jiang Xiang to live in, and the unscrupulous disciples will also come to the door to receive the punishment in person later. I also hope that Jiang Xiang's main network will open up. ”
Jiang Yuan thought for a while, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Star Demon Sea, it was not enough to rely on strong force alone. Since this Shangguan Shu intends to befriend herself, it is better to give her a step. Only by winning over one party and suppressing the other party can he step by step and completely have his own power.
Immediately, Jiang Yuan exclaimed:
"Elder Shangguan, what are you doing here? When Yu Niang and I completed our mission in Lingcheng, we were comrades-in-arms who lived and died together, how could we turn against her because of this trivial matter? ”
Shangguan Shu straightened up:
"Thank you Lord Jiang Xiang for your magnanimity, if Lord Jiang Xiang really wants to know about the two young ladies last night, you might as well inquire more about the Fat Red Pavilion. ”
After saying this, Shangguan Shu smiled and said nothing, and said no more.
Jiang Yuan also knew that Shangguan Shu was going to stop at the point. But since she gave a clue, she will slowly track it down.
When the time comes, no matter who is against him, he must be good-looking.
Immediately, Shangguan Shu led the way for Jiang Yuan and took Jiang Yuan to inspect the Red Tiger Altar under his management.
Pengcheng divided the rudder, and there were originally a total of eight elders and sixteen altars. Now half of the people are going to Lingcheng to establish a branch rudder, so only the four elders are left.
The Red Tiger Altar managed by Jiang Yuan is the strongest of all the sub-altars, in charge of external attacks, and the people in the altar are all elites.
Although I don't know if You Mingxuan treats himself as a swordman, at least there is no ambiguity in the arrangement of the altar.
Shangguan Shu took Jiang Yuan to the branch altar and met and spoke with the branch altar gang.
There are a total of seventy-two gang members in the Red Tiger Altar, two of whom are deputy altar masters, and they have the strength of the early stage of the Four Extremes Realm. Most of the rest of the gang are in the strength of the Tongli Realm, and there are only a few errands in the Body Refining Realm.
Originally, the responsibility of the Red Tiger Altar was to deal with the invasion of the forces of the Blue Dragon Society, but now with the establishment of Ling Cheng's rudder, Peng Cheng has also retreated from the front line, and the Red Tiger Altar has become very little to do for a while.
Jiang Yuan took a turn in the Red Tiger Altar, and after showing his hands and establishing some prestige, he quickly left.
He never thought of being a perfumer in the Red Tiger Altar for a long time, and it was impossible for him to stay for a long time in this kind of small sub-altar.
Soon Jiang Yuan learned that Gongliangyi was in a restaurant in the city, so Jiang Yuan said goodbye to Shangguan Shu and headed towards the restaurant with a deputy altar owner who was familiar with the situation in the city.
Soon the two came to the restaurant, they came to the private room on the second floor, and finally met Gong Liangyi.
The deputy altar master named Cen Lei was not strong enough, so he could only wait outside.
In the private room, there were only three people left. In addition to Jiang Yuan and Gong Liangyi, there is also an old man standing behind Gong Liangyi and bowing down.
Gongliangyi still looks cold:
"Jiang Yuan, I didn't expect you to be alive. ”
Jiang Yuan sat down in front of Gong Liangyi, but couldn't help but glance at the old man behind Gong Liangyi.
The old man was dressed like a servant, but to Jiang Yuan's surprise, he felt the breath of inheritance power from his body.
After Jiang Yuan sat down, his eyes shifted to Gong Liangyi:
"Brother Gongliang, no, now it is time to call Gongliang helmsman. Congratulations on Ascension!"
Gongliangyi said slowly:
"What is the joy of such an inferior title? Jiang Yuan, I knew that you were going to Shanyin Village the night before, but I didn't expect that you and Yu Niang would be able to come back. I've interrogated Yu Niang on her side, and she barely knows anything, except that she finally saw you attacked by a dryad. ”
Jiang Yuan knew that Gongliangyi would ask this question, and he showed a scared expression for the rest of his life:
"I survived thanks to my ancestors! You don't know, then the dryad wanted to kill me, and suddenly another fire demon appeared, and fought with the dryad. Later, their battle attracted a large spider, and then a female ghost emerged, calling herself 'Princess Moon'. They fought in all directions, and no one cared about me, so I seized the opportunity to escape. ”
"Princess Youyue?" said Gong Liangyi, "I didn't expect her to run down from the bald peak." ”
Jiang Yuan pretended not to know:
"Princess Youyue is the demon on the bald peak?"
Gongliangyi nodded:
"In the past, Wushu County was originally the territory of a small feudal monarch, and Princess Youyue was the daughter of that feudal monarch. Later, the feudal monarch lost the power struggle and the whole family was killed. Only Princess Youyue turned into a demon for revenge. At the beginning, Princess Youyue was strong, but thirty years ago, she changed her temperament and stopped eating people, and her strength has decreased sharply since then. Now, I'm afraid it's only about the chaos of demons and ghosts, or even lower. ”
Jiang Yuan didn't expect that he would ask casually, and Gongliangyi would explain it like this.
Just listen to Gongliangyi said:
"I heard about your righteous daughter's late work, and that gang of traffickers have interrogated and found out that there is a deal with the villagers of Sanyin Village. I was going to use them to get into the valley and get some information. But just now I received the news that the valley has been burned down. So those traffickers don't work, you can deal with it yourself. By the way, I'm curious about what's going on in the valley, so tell me the details. ”
