Chapter 1353 The Jiang Family
Chapter 1353 The Jiang Family
Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang ignored him and kept increasing their attack, preparing to take one down first.
If you let the three people sit down and discuss it, there will definitely be no result.
Once we take down Ji Fengxing, when faced with a life-or-death situation, if we say we don't have him, then we truly don't.
In this situation, no one would believe it if you said it wasn't you.
Two against one, and both were slightly better than Ji Fengxing in skill and ability, so in just a few breaths, Ji Fengxing was able to escape with the wind.
He wanted to escape, and no one could stop him.
Because the speed was too fast, which was not something the other two sect leaders were good at.
Despite Ji Fengxing's speed, Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang were not willing to let him go and chased after him relentlessly.
I don't know if it's because I've said it too much, or if it has subconsciously formed a kind of suggestion.
Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang both believed that as long as they obtained the broken sword, they would be able to take a further step, break through the shackles, and reach a new level.
It concerns life and death, and advancement; how could we give up so easily?
Standing atop the mountain peak, Lin Feng, along with several disciples of the Sword Form Sect, stared blankly as the three powerful figures entangled and chased each other, disappearing into the vast forest.
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. This is something that ordinary people can't do, to get the leaders of the three major sects to fight each other to the death.
He reached down and touched the broken sword tucked into his lower back, but it remained completely still.
Lin Feng glanced at the second-generation disciple of the Sword Formation Sect standing on a rock, wondering if the broken sword, having absorbed the man's life force, could restore some of his strength.
He only glanced at that person, and for some reason, the second-generation disciple trembled all over.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Feng, then touched his cold back, lowered his head, and quickly ran into his cave, not daring to show his face again.
These cultivators are really clever; they can sense it even in this way.
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze, pondering his next move.
The struggle between three powerful individuals will not yield a result in a short time. Even if Ji Fengxing is subdued by the two, no matter what methods he uses, he will not be able to find out the whereabouts of the broken sword.
If Gao Zhengqing doesn't get the broken sword, he won't come looking for me to fulfill my promise.
In short, it all depends on how they resolve this situation.
My younger sister is still in the small county town, so I need to find a reliable person to safely take her home.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng turned and ran down the mountain.
Let them fight it out; I'm not going to play along.
Lin Feng tried every means to explore ways to increase his speed in the air.
He knew that there was no limit to artistic achievement, and that past breakthroughs needed to be further consolidated, but this would not be the end of his pursuit of speed.
Martial arts strive for higher, faster, and stronger levels.
Lin Feng pushed his movement technique to its limit, seemingly disappearing in mid-air. As he moved up, down, left, and right, he increased his speed even further.
When we arrived, we followed the two sect leaders from the small county town to the foot of the Taihang Mountains, which took a little over an hour and a half.
On the return journey, Lin Feng only took less than an hour.
As dawn broke, Lin Shou was already up.
She was used to waking up early, and remembering that there were still some things to do at home and that she had to help her father get up and wash, she couldn't fall asleep early.
Lin Feng originally intended to enter the room through the window, but found Lin Shou already sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at three gold leaves.
I had no choice but to go to the front of the house and knock on the door.
"Lin Shou, it's me."
Lin heard her brother speak and opened the door.
"Brother, did you bring these gold leaves?"
"Yes, I borrowed it from someone, so feel free to use it."
Lin Shou was still worried and was about to ask again when Lin Feng waved his hand.
"I'm going out for a bit, you wait here."
"Oh..."
Before Lin Shou could ask any questions, Lin Feng had already turned around, left the room, walked through the alley, and disappeared from sight.
Lin Feng wanted to find a security escort agency in the county town to transport his sister to Shanglin Prefecture.
He had contact with Hongsheng Escort Agency and felt that the escort agencies of the time were relatively reliable, with a complete system in terms of both responsibility and operating rules.
To get to Shanglin Prefecture, one must travel west, while to get to Kyoto Prefecture, one must travel south. Therefore, it is impossible to take my sister back along the way.
He didn't have time to waste. He first had to go to the capital of Taisho and see if he could bring back some gold ingots from Zhu Qisheng's family when he returned to Jingnan Prefecture.
For the six prefectures in the south to develop rapidly, there is a significant funding gap.
Lin Feng estimated that the initial start-up funds, provided by Wan Quan's underground vault, should be sufficient.
However, subsequent funding may still be insufficient.
That would require transporting Zhu Qisheng's treasure in batches to Jingnan Prefecture, which would then serve as a distribution center for the six southern prefectures, thereby accelerating the local economic development.
Lin Feng, lost in thought, made his way to the front courtyard of the inn, where he saw the waiter standing at the door soliciting business.
"Waiter, are there any places in the city that offer escort services?"
The waiter quickly greeted him with a smile: "Sir, there aren't any proper escort agencies in our county, but if you want to transport goods, you can try visiting Master Jiang's house in town."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
“Master Jiang is the richest man in our county. We have business dealings with him all year round, and he always uses his own guards to escort goods. They are more reliable than escort agencies.”
"Hmm, that makes sense, thank you."
"Please continue, sir. Go straight ahead, cross the street, turn right, and you'll see the tallest gatehouse with two lions at the entrance—that's the Jiang family's residence..."
Amidst the waiter's incessant chatter, Lin Feng had already walked seven or eight zhang away.
When Lin Feng first entered this small county town, the stone inscriptions on the city gate were covered by weeds, and he didn't know what the county town was called. He was too lazy to find out.
The streets are narrow, there are not many shops, and pedestrians are few.
Lin Feng stepped across the small street, turned right, and saw the Jiang family mansion, which was taller than the other gate towers.
Lin Feng turned his head to look at the direction and distance, and smiled.
Isn't this the house where I almost stole the silver that night? It seems we have quite a connection.
Lin Feng arrived at the black lacquered gate and saw that it was open, with several men dressed as family members carrying things in and out.
An elderly man, probably a steward or someone similar, was directing the group of men as they worked.
Lin Feng stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Excuse me, is this the residence of Master Jiang?"
The old man turned his head and looked Lin Feng up and down a few times.
"Indeed, may I ask what brings you here, young master?"
"Uh, I wonder if we also trade goods to the west of town?"
The old man looked at Lin Feng warily without saying a word.
"Well, I'd like to take someone with me to the Shanglin residence. Would that be convenient?"
The old man chuckled: "Hehe, there are quite a few people who ship goods, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone who ships goods."
"It's my sister. I was supposed to take her home, but I didn't have time. I thought I'd entrust it to a security escort agency. I heard that Master Jiang's business transportation is much more reliable than a security escort agency, so..."
The old man nodded: "That's a good point. My master's caravan is much more reliable and safer than any escort agency. Everyone within hundreds of miles knows this."
Lin Fengsong sighed, "Alright, may I see Master Jiang?"
The old man felt a sense of goodwill towards Lin Feng, who, despite his youth, had a kind face and spoke and acted with humility and politeness.
"Alright, young master, please wait a moment. I will go and inform him right away."
"Thank you for your trouble."
The old man turned and went into the house.
