Infinite Battle

Chapter 273: Wine and the Old Man

Hu Guangming's strength is improving, but Jiang Shang's progress is even faster than him, so fast that Hu Guangming can't even see his back. In this way, when the gap in strength between the two is getting wider and wider, Hu Guangming is also extremely He wisely corrected his posture and understood what position he should be in.

"Thank you for your hard work. The treasure was sent to the Zhenfu Si Yamen. All twenty-one people were sent to the Tianlao. They were made to take Sanqi pills, their limbs were cut off, and the bones of the pipa were cut through. Additional people were sent to track the remaining people. Send a letter to the city lords of the north and south cities, telling them to cooperate with the search. If they dare to interfere again, I will personally visit them."

Hu Guangming quietly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Shang, who kept walking, and he breathed a sigh of relief. In the past five months, as more and more cities were captured, Hu Guangming also personally did the list that Jiang Shang mentioned. , and even sent most of the masters out to search for the people on the list. Although there were heavy casualties, Jiang Shang did not stop the order for a day, and Hu Guangming did not dare to stop the search even if all the people under his men died. .

However, if this thing is done too much, people who are interested will naturally pay attention to it. When Hu Guangming arrests people with the same name in the depths of Wu Xu, and then confirms it according to the information given by Jiang Shang, such a big move will eventually attract People from other big cities obstructed him.

Some people were related to the lords of these two big cities, and some were friends with their children. Under the complicated relationship, Hu Guangming naturally stirred up a hornet's nest. In the end, he naturally had to write a letter to inform these people. It was the person named by Jiang Shang, and now there are twenty-one people.

However, among the remaining eight people, excluding the two who could not be found, there are still six people who have masters in front of them. Although they are not monsters like the people on the list, they are not ordinary weaklings. Hu Guangming's subordinates The masters suffered heavy casualties, and there were not many masters left, and there was nothing they could do about it. They could only return to Wude City to make plans.

"Sir, is this inappropriate? The city lords of the two cities in the north and south are not easy people to get along with. The remaining six people are surrounded by experts from these two big cities, asking them to assist in the search. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.”

Hu Guangming's words made Jiang Shang turn around. Hu Guangming, who was thinking about something with his head down, bumped into Jiang Shang. A layer of transparency disappeared in a flash, and a huge counterattack force came, making Hu Guangming's feet A stagger.

"My lord, I'm sorry."

As soon as he came to his senses, regardless of the pain in his head, Hu Guangming knelt down quickly, and the twenty soldiers following behind him also knelt down at the same time. This made the people on the street retreat quickly, and they didn't dare to look at it any more. Look, they all dispersed.

"Get up and talk. You and I don't have to do this."

"Thank you, sir."

Hu Guangming stood up,

He raised his head and glanced at the expressionless Jiang Shang. He didn't have time to think about anything else and began to explain why he said that just now.

"Sir, these six people who are on the run are guarded by experts from the two cities in the north and south according to the news from the spies. If we let them assist in the search, I'm afraid they will inform us every time we take action."

"Don't worry about this problem. I believe that Yang Qianwang and Xia Houwu will not disregard their own lives because of this matter. I will draft a document later and you can send it to them when the time comes. As for the follow-up , it depends on whether the two of them are smart, otherwise there would be no need for three big cities deep in the Martial Ruins."

"Yes, I understand."

Hu Guangming knelt down quickly, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed. If this was true, wouldn't he be able to dominate the entire depths of the Martial Ruins?

"Put your little thoughts away. It's okay to have three pillars in the depths of the Martial Ruins. If your family is the only one, don't you worry about being eaten by others? Don't let power blind you. Strength is the cornerstone of everything."

Hu Guangming was shocked, and his back was instantly covered with cold sweat. Jiang Shang's words were like an enlightenment, which made Hu Guangming realize. The main reason why he completed the task so smoothly at this time was because of Jiang Shang's strength. If Jiang Shang once After leaving, everything is just a passing cloud.

"Thank you for your advice, sir. I almost went astray."

"Well, do your job well."

After Jiang Shang said that, he turned around and walked forward. He didn't pay any extra attention to Hu Guangming behind him. He just looked at the scene around him. The people living in Wude City, although every household was affected by Jiang Shang's iron order, A treasure must be handed over every once in a while, but Jiang Shang is exempted from all other taxes. In the majestic martial arts market, if you don't intercept and kill, don't plunder, what's the point of hiding in the city and farming?

Although as a result, the people of Wude City suffered heavy casualties. Nearly 200,000 people died in these five months. But for the millions of people in Wude City, these numbers are just a drop in the bucket. In the feudal era, this number was just a drop in the bucket. In an era without entertainment, when life was guaranteed, every family worked hard to create people, not afraid that no one would use them. Besides, Jiang Shang wouldn't stay long. As for what will happen after he leaves? Who cares about him.

And it's not all bad for this kind of land to be plundered. Although Jiang Shang doesn't know who came up with this siege and farming strategy, this person is definitely not doing it for the people living deep in the Wu Ruins, but more to weaken their lives. The people in the Wuxu land are bloody.

If such a seemingly moderate policy is implemented for hundreds or thousands of years, this place of martial arts, which has the largest resources in the world, will eventually become a place for shepherding, with fewer martial arts students consuming resources, and fewer masters. , then wouldn’t this place where there are many treasures and martial arts become a slaughterhouse for anyone to slaughter?

This strategy is not without poison, but Jiang Shang's approach has no other meaning. He just wants to search for more treasures when he leaves. As for what happens next? Who knows?

With the implementation of the Iron Order for several months, there were obviously many more people carrying weapons in the city. Those wandering warriors in various cities also began to gather in Wude City as Jiang Shang's Iron Order spread.

With a large number of people, there are naturally more disputes. Friction in the city increased. The guards assigned by Jiang Shang became the arbiters of the city after Jiang Shang left the code of conduct for the Jin Yiwei. Suppression, as long as you hand over the treasure, Jiang Shang won't care what you want.

Five months seems very short, but it is enough for many things to happen and be forgotten. All the discordant sounds in Wude City have been silenced by Jiang Shang's bloodbath. People will be afraid. If you are not afraid, it means you are The means are just not in place.

The smell of wine made Jiang Shang stop walking and continue to think. Hu Guangming could do this kind of thing, so there was no need to put too much thought into it.

Looking up to the direction where the aroma of wine came from, there was dim light on in a narrow alley, and a small flag at the door had the word "wine" written on it.

"Old Hu, let's go, have a couple of drinks with me, and let everyone else go back."

When Hu Guangming heard Jiang Shang's words, he quickly stepped forward, looked at the restaurant in the alley, waved to the people behind him, and then responded to Jiang Shang.

"My lord, please come first."

Jiang Shang took the lead and walked in. Although the alley was small, it was quite clean. It was obvious that the store was often cleaned. When he reached the door of the restaurant, a small door was ajar, and the dim light came from it.

Squeak...

The wooden door was obviously very old. As Jiang Shang pushed it gently, the sound of opening the door sounded, causing everyone in the restaurant to look over.

"Is there another guest coming? Please come in quickly."

A short old woman walked over quickly. Her face was full of wrinkles, but her face was quite rosy, and she was obviously in good health.

Jiang Shang glanced at the old woman, and then looked at the people in the room. There were not many people in the room, only three people, excluding the old man who was obviously the boss. Jiang Shang couldn't tell how old the old man was, and he had gray hair. , his face is also full of wrinkles, but he looks extremely amiable.

"Sit down wherever you want. There's nothing here, old man. If you like to drink and listen to books, the old man can chat a little."

Jiang Shang hadn't met such a neither humble nor arrogant person for a long time. He found a table close to the table where the old man was sitting and sat down. Hu Guangming hesitated and also sat down.

Before Jiang Shang could speak, the old woman had already arrived with a wine jug, nine of which were placed on the table. Then the old woman spoke to Jiang Shang.

"Dear guest, there is a rule in this shop, that is, you must drink nine pots when you come. If you are not drunk after drinking, my master will tell him a secret."

With a smile on his face, Jiang Shang looked at the old woman whose behavior was clearly inconsistent with her age. This old woman looked more like a girl than an old woman, but Jiang Shang could not see the disguise on her body, and there was no high energy in her Qi induction. The reaction was so Jiang Shang was attributed to the old naughty boy.

"It's easy to say. Although Jiang is not a big drinker, he is also a good drinker. When I entered your shop today, I will naturally follow your rules. However, Jiang also has a rule, that is, people who are not worthy of their morality dare to pretend to be gods. Then Jiang must move his muscles and bones even if he has no choice but to do so.”

The old woman stiffened and didn't know how to respond to Jiang Shang's words. She could only look at the old man on the stage, which made the old man shake his head, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he spoke to Jiang Shang.

"Jiang Shang, the secret is naturally a secret that you deserve to drink up. My old man will not lie to anyone."

Jiang Shang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly sat upright. Then he looked directly at the old man who called him Jiang Shang's real name. Although there was no movement between the two, Jiang Shang's aura was already aroused and ready to go. Hu Guangming looked at Jiang Daoli, who was called Jiang Shang, understood that he seemed to be involved in something important today, but at this time he could only sit stiffly in his position, neither daring to move nor being able to move.

"Where did you learn this name?"

"You don't have to be surprised. Everything in the world is known except that God knows it and the earth knows it, and you know it and I know it. A name is nothing."

The old man stroked the beard on his chin, and was indifferent to Jiang Shang's growing momentum. He just looked at Jiang Shang with a smile. The atmosphere became heavier and heavier, and Jiang Shang finally dissipated the condensed momentum.

To be honest, Jiang Shang couldn't see through this old man and didn't want to provoke him. He was attracted by the smell of wine for no reason today and entered this restaurant. It didn't seem to be a normal thing.

Seeing that Jiang Shang's aura had dissipated, the old man smiled and pointed the old folding fan in his hand at Jiang Shang. The wine bottle in front of Jiang Shang automatically filled Jiang Shang with a glass of wine. This made Jiang Shang's pupils shrink, and there was no anger. There is no mechanism for qi fluctuations, how can it be achieved?

"Come Jiang Shang, I will introduce these two to you."

The old man took back the folding fan in his hand, pointed to the other side, and then spoke to Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang looked in the direction pointed by the old man. The person the old man was talking about was the two people who had been sitting there when he entered the restaurant earlier. Following Jiang Shang's gaze, these two people also looked at Jiang Shang. Shang, and smiled at Jiang Shang.

The person sitting on the left is extremely tall. He is three meters tall when he is sitting on the seat. He is probably no less than five or six meters tall when he stands. And this person has such a strange phenomenon. Jiang Shang did not notice it when he came in earlier. Jiang Shang already understood in his heart that he might be in a terrible situation today.

This man is wearing a black robe, with gold rims on the collar and sleeves, and a nine-fold hair crown on his head, dotted with some light spots? She had long black hair hanging behind her back, and her face was extremely majestic. She didn't care about Jiang Shang's looks, and sat alone at the wine table drinking wine leisurely.

The other person is wearing white clothes. There are no other colors on the clothes, only a piece of snow white. He wears a white jade hair crown on his head, and his black hair is also draped behind him. His face looks gentle and elegant, quite a bit. The young master's unparalleled feeling is more elegant and less oppressive than the strong man next to him.

These two people were so well-mannered, and with the old man on the stage, even a fool like Jiang Shang understood that these three people were probably not simple people, but since they didn't kill him as soon as they came up, they probably weren't here to seek revenge or take action. Although Jiang Shang was nervous, he didn't show it. He just put away his previous casual attitude.

"You go back first, while I catch up with these three seniors."

Hu Guangming, who was stiff all over, softened as soon as he heard Jiang Shang's words. He hugged Jiang Shang with a questioning look in his eyes, but Jiang Shang just shook his head and told him not to talk to Hu again after he went out. Guangming looked at the three people in the restaurant.

"Senior, why are you teasing me? Since you know me so well, why don't you tell me directly."

Hu Guangming looked at Jiang Shang who was no longer paying attention to him, bowed to Jiang Shang, and then slowly exited the small door of the restaurant. As the footsteps went away, the old man on the table responded to Jiang Shang's question. answer.

"Jiang Shang, there are some things that cannot be said directly. You need to experience it yourself. I have opened this door for you today, so naturally you need to do something."

Jiang Shang didn't quite understand the old man's vague words. With this way of speaking, if he wasn't unsure about the strength of these three people, Jiang Shang would probably take them down before considering what the old man said.

"Oh, senior, just say it straight. This junior is just a gangster. Why bother senior to personally lead me here? This is really frustrating to me."

It was self-evident that Jiang Shang's words were offensive both inside and outside. The old man shook his head. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Jiang Shang's appearance, but he didn't say anything. He just raised his hand to signal Jiang Shang to drink first.

This old man was like this, and Jiang Shang was not a shy person. He swallowed the poured wine in one gulp, then picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it fiercely.

After one sip, two sips, three sips, seven or eighty-nine sips, the wine in the small flask was not finished. This made Jiang Shang once again convinced of the old man's methods. In desperation, he could only raise his head and continue to drink. When it comes to drinking, although Jiang Shang has never competed with others about his drinking capacity, his physical fitness will naturally mean that his drinking capacity is about the same.

A full quarter of an hour passed before the wine in the jug was finished. Throwing the jug away in his hand, Jiang Shang loosened the collar of his black robe. The wine was a little too dark. He stood up and put his left foot on He put it on the bench, picked up another bottle of wine and started drinking.

The old man looked at Jiang Shang's wild movements with a smile on his face and glanced at the two people sitting next to him.

"What do you two think of this person?"

"generally."

"good."

After the two people finished speaking, they looked at each other. Seeing the two of them doing this, the old man also turned to look at Jiang Shang.

By the time Jiang Shang finished the nine pots of wine on the table, an unknown amount of time had passed. Jiang Shang's face was flushed, and he was swaying from side to side as he stood, but his feet seemed to be rooted, and no matter what, he never fell down.

Jiang Shang was in a daze in his mind. The smell of alcohol in the wine was rising, making it difficult for him to control himself. To be honest, Jiang Shang had never seen a wine that could make him drink like this. Today was an eye-opener.

"Senior... tell me, this... wine has been finished. Junior... has passed this test, right?"

The old man looked at Jiang Shang, who was swaying from side to side, and waved the folding fan in his hand. Jiang Shang sat down safely, lying on the table.

"Then you have to listen carefully. This matter is related to your mission. This time when you go to the land of Wudu, you have to do two things. First, you have to find the remaining Celestial Ranks. , Secondly, before you need to leave Wudu, you must switch to Hundred Days Foundation Building, so that you have a chance."

The six-pole pagoda in his body was running at an extremely fast speed, allowing Jiang Shang to regain his senses and forcefully suppress the confusion in his mind. Jiang Shang smiled when he heard these two things in his ears.

"Senior, even if you don't say anything, I will do it, so why are you wasting your breath here?"

"Ignorant child, if I don't tell you, you may not do it. Only if I say it, you will do it. What matters here is not up to you, but to see if I am willing to say it. You don't have to think too much, it will come from me. At that point, it’s a foregone conclusion, you just have to do it.”

Hahahahaha...

"Senior, your speaking skills are really amazing. I, Jiang Shang, don't need you to talk about anything I want to do. I call you senior, don't rely on your old age and act like you are old. I may not be afraid of you if I start to do something."

Jiang Shang's unreasonable words made the old man laugh, and he raised his hands and saluted the two people who were just watching the show. The old man looked at Jiang Shang and said with a look of anger that Jiang Shang was not living up to expectations.

"You guys,...that's all, go ahead, go ahead, you two are so distracted, they are all carved from the same mold."
