Chapter 39 Selected
Fake?
Zhong Xue was stunned, then burst out laughing, "This thing was taken out by Tang Lin. You may not know much about Tang Lin, but he is a famous master in the Linhai antique circle. The thing he took out——"
Jiang Wu interrupted her calmly, "Because it really was broken a long time ago."
Han Zhong was stunned, "How do you know?"
Jiang Wu raised his eyebrows, because it was he who fell.
To be exact, it was shattered by a single arrow shot by him.
When Yan Zhong died, his successor, the crown prince Yan Cong, officially took the throne, and Jiang Wu became the regent king according to Yan Zhong's will. Yan Cong was only sixteen years old when he took the throne. Compared with Yan Zhong, who could defeat thousands of troops with one arrow, Yan Cong was almost a retard. Not long after taking the throne, he became addicted to hunting and could not extricate himself.
At that time, he was emo because he felt there was no hope for his ascension due to the death of Yan Zhong. He didn't want to take care of any politics or take care of his naughty children. He spent all day in the Star-Picking Tower of his Wujiang Palace, sighing at the stars and wasting his time. Until he discovered that Yan Cong had gained a few confidants around him.
In order to please Yan Cong, those henchmen went to great lengths to find a piece of jadeite that was said to have magical powers. They carved a jade ring out of it and called it the Gou Ye Jade Ring. They said that wearing it would allow one to hit the target every time hunting, and even to shoot at gods.
Jiang Wu just thought it was funny. Hitting a god? He was the only god in the Great Zhou, so the arrow was aimed at him, right?
So, he, who had not attended court for a long time, shot an arrow in front of all the civil and military officials to smash the jade ring into pieces. The jade pieces broke and cut the necks of several ministers. If it was half an inch deeper, blood would have been splattered on the spot. And "coincidentally", those ministers were very close to those confidants, and they often whispered in Yan Cong's ears about returning power to the emperor and taking control of all the power. So those ministers were so scared that they paralyzed on the spot, and one even peed his pants.
Later he began the long journey of being forced to do business, but he still had some hope in his heart. Maybe Yan Zhong still had some conscience because of their old friendship and secretly left him a surprise. As long as he successfully assisted a few emperors and protected the Zhou Dynasty, he would suddenly appear in front of him one day and shout, "Congratulations, Jiang Wu, you have successfully passed my test. Now I will tell you the secret of ascending to heaven."
However, he did not see the joy until the Great Zhou was destroyed. Instead, he lost his life and his soul came back a thousand years later.
He had already given up hope, but the other person actually showed up. Although he seemed to have lost his memory, didn't recognize himself, and had a weird temper, he firmly believed that the other person must be Yan Zhong, because not only did they look the same and had similar body shapes, but even their various habitual movements were the same. Their tastes were slightly different, but people's tastes would inevitably change, so it could be ignored.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wu couldn't help but look at the man beside him.
Han Zhong was still waiting for his answer, but suddenly saw him looking at him with resentment, and couldn't help but frown, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Wu asked, "What look?"
"It's like I owe you hundreds of billions."
"Oh, didn't you?"
“…”
This kid is really not normal.
In the end, Tang Lin bought the ring back himself, so everyone felt that it was a genuine item. Otherwise, why would Tang Lin spend a high price to buy it back? He must have taken it out on purpose to show off and couldn't bear to part with it.
In response to Han Zhong and Zhong Xue's questions, Jiang Wu only said that a friend who studied history and archaeology told him, and he didn't know anything else.
Han Zhong still did not give up and asked, "What's his name?"
Jiang Wu said without hesitation: "Cao Wu Yue."
The name is somewhat rare for modern people, but who says modern people can't give their children this name? Han Zhong still has doubts in his heart, but he really can't find any clues. He can only secretly write down the name and plan to ask someone to check it later.
Jiang Wu knew that he was suspicious and would also look up this online name, but he was not afraid at all. Go ahead and check it out. It has been more than a thousand years. The old man is just an ordinary person. His bones will rot faster than that of his Taoist priest. It would be strange if he could find him.
The auction ended quickly, and the rest of the time was reserved for the guests to socialize. Tang Lin, who had previously bought Zhong Xue's necklace, came over to talk to Zhong Xue.
Jiang Wushun said he was going to relax, and took the opportunity to go to the back corridor to reunite with Han. After they realized that the people who were left behind after the party had been selected long ago, they decided to abandon the original plan and let Yao Ping keep an eye on Chang Yi and the people in the venue to see who would be called over by Chang Yi.
When the auction was halfway through, Chang Yi used the excuse of feeling unwell to leave and went into the lounge. At this time, the auction had already ended. If the real purpose of Chang Yi holding this charity event tonight was to take action against the selected people, it was time to act now.
Jiang Wu quickened his pace and walked out of the venue, but was stopped by someone as soon as he stepped out of the door.
"Mr. Jiang Wujiang, right? I'm Wu Xing, Mr. Chang's assistant. Mr. Chang wants to meet you. Is it convenient?"
“…”
Jiang Wu looked at the man in front of him who was a head shorter than him, had a decent smile and wore black-framed glasses, and suddenly asked, "What did you say your name was?"
"Wu Xing."
"Which Wu, which Xing?"
"Koutian Wu, Xing means Xingwang." Wu Xing couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Chang is still waiting for you."
"Then let him wait a little longer. He's in a wheelchair anyway, so he won't get tired." Jiang Wu continued to ask, "What's your cell phone number?"
“…”
Wu Xing's polite smile almost couldn't be maintained. When those people heard that Mr. Chang wanted to see them, they wanted to fly over with wings. But this kid actually ignored Mr. Chang and asked him questions. Could he be stupid? No wonder he was doing so badly!
In order to bring the person to Chang Yi as soon as possible, Wu Xing had to give him his phone number and reminded him that he could contact him through the number in the future.
Jiang Wu looked at the number that had appeared in Nie Yumeng's call record, quickly sent a message to Han Zhong, and then looked up and urged: "Let's go quickly, don't let Mr. Chang wait anxiously."
Wu Xing: “…Please.”
Han Zhong was listening to Yao Ping's report on Chang Yi's situation in the lounge when he received the text message. The next second, he received a message from Jiang Wu saying that he was taken away by Chang Yi's assistant. His expression suddenly changed, "Jiang Wu was taken away."
Yao Ping knew that his boss was probably investigating something, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Jiang doesn't look like someone with strong aspirations, so why did Chang Yi choose him?"
Han Zhong said quickly while typing on his phone with a serious face, "That's because you have dealt with him. If you haven't dealt with him, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Yao Ping tried to recall Jiang Wu's image on the Internet and fell silent. "... probably an 18th-tier unknown star with no education, no background, no knowledge, no acting skills, no quality but greedy and shameless, and extremely bad luck?"
"It's a good summary, but I don't like it. Just keep it in mind next time." Han Zhong put away his phone and strode towards the lounge without looking back.
"……yes."
