Chapter Sixty-Seventh: Winds and Rains of Changming County
but a man-made calamity. While the city lords of Jia and Yue are internal threats, the White Bone Dao is the root cause! I wonder if my Lord County Magistrate is aware of this matter"Let me know if yo...Jiang Wangqi said: "To be able to steal a glimpse of old friends, one must observe the void. Where does this saying come from"
He had doubts from the beginning. An Fengfu was wealthy, but he wasn't a pompous person. Why would he set up a banquet in his small courtyard, waiting grandly like a powerful official, yet send servants to invite Jiang Wang over

"To be honest," a bitter taste crept onto Yan Fu's usually gentle and serene face, "The mistress of Huaying Palace declared that she would beat me every time we met. Since I couldn't defeat her, I could only avoid her."
Yan Fu, this person, was immensely wealthy and powerful. He paid little attention to anything or anyone, always remaining calm and unaffected by external circumstances. It was rare to see him falter...
To be honest, it's pretty interesting.
Jiang Wang picked up a mouthful of vegetables, savored them slowly, and only after tasting the aftertaste did she say, "Marriage, death, and childbirth are all personal affairs. Why is the Palace Master of Huaying Palace so insistent on you"
Yan Fu set down his wine cup and gave him a withering look: "Brother Jiang, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer"
He knew it well. Chongxuan Sheng definitely couldn't keep a secret, especially not from Jiang Wang. He wouldn't be able to hold back even if he'd been specifically told to.
He was right, but because of Zhu Biqiong's matter, Chong Xuan Sheng hadn't had time to tell Jiang Wang in detail how he saw him being beaten by Jiang Wuyou that day and what state he was left in. However...Jiang Wang himself couldn't help but be curious, so he specially asked Zheng Shangming at the Ducheng Patrol Inspectorate.
It's rare to see Yan Fu's emotions so exposed, Jiang Wang couldn't help but smile again and asked seriously: "I only know that Brother Yan was previously betrothed, then broke off the engagement, causing Hua Ying Palace's mistress to come forward as a confidante, but the inside story, I truly don't know."
"Sigh." Yan Fu let out a long sigh: "How should I explain this The mistress of Hua Ying Palace is making trouble for me, that's true. But..."

He probably was feeling quite stifled. He held his cup of wine, hesitating to drink, and looked at Jiang Wangdao: "I'm also wronged, you know. Jiang brother should understand, with my background, marriage matters are not something I can control. It wasn't me who wanted the marriage, nor was it me who wanted to break it off. But it was me who got blamed, and it was me who got beaten..."
Jiang Wang almost laughed out loud, forcing himself to hold back. He asked with a hint of confusion, “I thought that for a family like the Yans, especially with something as important as Yan Ge’s marriage, everything would be carefully considered. How could you get married and then break it off in such a short time”
He really couldn't understand: "Isn't this treating your life as a joke"
“It seems that Chongxuan is quite tight-lipped. He didn't tell you anything at all. I guess I judged him wrongly, thinking he was being secretive.” Yan Fu made a sarcastic remark in this state before explaining: “My family's marriage is with someone else entirely, and the one who wants to break off the engagement is another matter altogether.”
However, he apparently misunderstood Chong Xuan Sheng. Chong Xuan Sheng had wanted to explain things in detail for a long time, but because there were more urgent matters to attend to, he hadn't had the time yet.
“My betrothal to Liu Xiuzhang, a woman from the Liu family, was arranged by our ancestors and the head of the Liu family. However, the head of the Liu family passed away early, and there was no one in the family capable of maintaining their standing, so their influence waned. The Yan family is not a heartless one who forgets old ties. At that time, it was still our ancestor who stepped in to help the Liu family stabilize their position.”
Yen Fu's "family ancestors" naturally referred to his grandfather, the former prime minister Yen Ping. The latter served in government for many years, his accomplishments surpassing those of the nation. It was he who spearheaded the "pacification and eradication" strategy against the Yang kingdom, resulting in the disappearance of Yang's script and calendar system. While conquering the Yang kingdom was a notable achievement for General Xuan Chu Liang, Yen Ping's contribution to the smooth annexation of Yang's three prefectures cannot be overlooked.

Jiang Wang mused to himself, "Liu Xiuzhang, that's not a common name. I wonder what sort of person he is."
"Later, something major happened to the Liu family. Liu Shen Tong, the most gifted prodigy of the Liu family, was killed by Tian An Ping in Chang Ming County."
Tian Anping!
Jiang Wang had a deep impression of this name and this person.

Whoever you ask about him, they'll all say to never cross him. Even people within the Oze family fear him, whispering behind his back that he's a monster.

As soon as he appeared in Qixing Valley, the arrogant and conceited Lei Zhanyan immediately lowered his head, and even Li Fengrao, who was always looking down on others, restrained himself.
Did he actually kill the heir of a prominent family Did he kill a peerless prodigy
...and that was in Changming County...
After staying in Qi for so long, Jiang Wang still had some understanding of the various counties in Qi.
Throughout the entire state of Qi, there were thirty-five counties besides Qi's capital. Of these, Jiang Wang was most familiar with the three newly acquired counties in Yangdi, as well as Chiyang, Dazawa, Fengxian, and Bei counties, which he had visited before.
Changming County is located in the southwest of Qi State. To its south lies Shímen County, where the Li family resides, and to its west lies Fufeng County, which has been the ancestral home of the Liu family for generations.
To the west of Fufeng County lies what was formerly the border county of Pingxi. After the annexation of Yangdi, Pingxi has lost its significance as a border county.
From Changming County to Dazi County, in the northern part of the Empire, even taking the shortest route, one has to cross three counties.
That is to say, regardless of what kind of strength the top genius Liu Shen Tong possesses, Tian An Ping daring to kill Liu Shen Tong next door to Fu Feng County makes it almost impossible for him to escape back to Da Ze County.
But in the end, everyone knew the result: Tian Anping was still safely watching the stars at Yicheng Fu Bi Lou.
"Liu Shen Tong is the elder brother of Liu Xiu Zhang. In the direct lineage of the Liu family, this generation consists of two sons and one daughter, ordered from oldest to youngest: Liu Shen Tong, Liu Xiu Zhang, and Liu Xuan Hu."
"Ancestral saying goes, if the entire Liu family is to have another hundred years of fortune, it should be embodied in Liu Shen Tong."
"Therefore, the death of Liu Shen Tong was something the Liu family was utterly unwilling to face and could never forgive. At that time, masters from the Fu Feng Liu clan emerged in full force, intending to kill Tian An Ping in Chang Ming County, seeking revenge for Liu Shen Tong."
Back then, just imagining the intensity of that scene through Yan Fu's description made Jiang Wang unconsciously hold his breath.
“But Tian Anping was too strong!” Yan Fu’s words carried a deep sense of dread: “He killed to survive, entering the battlefield with divine presence. Alone, he withstood the siege led by Liu Xiao, the strongest Divine Presence wielder of the Fufeng Liu clan. He held out until reinforcements from the Tian clan arrived from other counties. Perhaps it’s not accurate to say he held out until his family arrived… because Tian Anping never considered running away. He didn't even seek help. The people of the Tian clan only learned about the event after it had escalated.”
"At that time, the battle between the two top families turned into a blood feud. They gathered their relatives and friends, increasing in numbers until they were almost ready to start a massacre in Changming County. The patriarch of the Liu family, father of Liu Shen Tong, made the oath "We will not share the sun and moon with the Tian family." Even the local county magistrate's office couldn't suppress it! This battle was so influential that it even caused the Emperor to personally go to Changming County, using his supreme authority to quell the situation and prevent further escalation."

After the arrival of Emperor Qi, it was not difficult for Jiang Wang to deduce what had happened.
The bloodbath has stopped, and the matter is now being decided by a public tribunal.
Fu Feng Liu's family naturally demanded blood for blood, life for life. Dazeta clan could also bite back and say that Tian Anping killed Liushen Tong during a fight, it was an accidental death in the heat of battle, and he should be excused from punishment.
With the passing of Old Master Liu, not only has the family lost its pillar of support but also Liu Shen Tong, their future hope. From any angle, the Fu Feng Liu clan can no longer compete with the Da Ze Tian clan.

And from Emperor Qi's perspective, is a peerless genius like Tian Anping more beneficial to the state of Qi alive or dead The answer is self-evident.
In the end, Tian Anping survived.
The biggest demand of Oze-san is probably this: regardless of how many resources are sacrificed, regardless of the price paid, as long as Tian Anping is alive, it's worth it.
Liu Shen Tong was praised by Yan Ping as being able to support the Fengliu Liu family for a hundred years.
Then what about Tian Anping, who killed Liu Shen
Let me gather the names of the thirty-five counties in Qi state. Listing them one by one would be too tiring. If you provide me with the county names, I can put together a map of Qi state.o blackmail Chong Xuan Chuliang.Such an irrational and reckless act would severely damage his reputation in front of Chongxuan Chuliang. It would even lower his standing with his grandfather, Chongxua...
