Chapter 686: Huge Amount of Information
And with the prince and princess...
Now Erbao and Nianbao have directly advanced to become prince and princess.
Jiang Lianzhu and his wife took their children to stay at Zhou Gong's house for dinner.
Immediately, upon hearing the news, another wave of people came to visit Duke Zhou's residence to pay New Year's greetings, all wanting to take advantage of the New Year to get some of the luck from the regents.
In the Zhou family, Liao Jiu has always been the most comfortable and relaxed, just like he is at home.
During the meal and drinks, Liao Jiu's cousin Zhou Yuan, who was young, had a humorous conversation and was very knowledgeable, came over.
Jiang Lianzhu thought that this cousin Zhou Yuan had not yet married, and before that, in order to protect and rescue them, he even asked to marry the eldest princess!
He is a good cousin.
When the family was having dinner, Jiang Lianzhu started to express her concern about Zhou Yuan's marriage.
"Cousin, are you married now?"
Zhou Yuan's face flushed. He was clearly drinking with Liao Jiu, but he stopped and said, "To answer my cousin's question, Zhou Yuan is not married yet."
Jiang Lianzhu continued, "Is there any girl you like? If you need our help, just let me know."
Zhou Yuan sat up straight and said, "No."
Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I won't force you to marry. Marriage is free and equal. Marriage is for a lifetime. It has to be what you want. You can't force it. A forced marriage is not sweet."
Zhou Yuan suddenly felt a little relieved.
"Thank you for your concern, cousin."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "We are all family anyway. We are just concerned about you. If you need anything, just let us know. We still remember the favor you did us last time."
Zhou Yuan's face turned even redder. "No, it's okay. I didn't help much last time. My cousin and his wife resolved the situation on their own."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said nothing.
That's not the case. No matter what, the Zhou family has good intentions.
It's rare to have that kind of heart!
At that time, it might not be for Jiang Lianzhu, but just to save Liao Jiu, but she had to accept this favor. Liao Jiu was her husband, the closest person in her life, and the person who could accompany her until the end. She was grateful to the Zhou family.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, Liao Jiu drank too much.
Just rest at Zhou's house.
I have been busy for a long time and I just want to take a break from my busy life for a while, so I won’t go anywhere else.
Jiang Lianzhu asked someone to go to the Lin family on her behalf to wish Mrs. Lin a happy new year, and she did not go in person.
Her status is different now. If she goes there like this, it will attract too much attention. It may not be a good thing for the Lin family. It is too ostentatious.
There is also Lin Ziyi, who did not come back for the New Year.
If she comes back, she will go over and reminisce about the past.
I miss this guy quite a bit.
It’s true, once I go out I’m so wild I don’t want to go home.
Now that he's back, I guess he'll be shocked!
I definitely wouldn't dare to talk nonsense to her anymore. Well, I should be more mature now and not so childish anymore.
***
As the saying goes, even sparrows have three days to live.
After the third day of the Lunar New Year, morning court sessions resumed and Liao Jiu and his colleagues returned to work.
Dabao really gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs.
Fortunately, no matter what, this child never missed his daily morning exercise. He also knew that the body is the capital of revolution.
After the fifteenth day of the lunar year, people start to do business and make a living, beginning a year of hard work.
The War King has been away from the palace in recent days, and seems to be busy with something. He is often not seen for two or three days. Jiang Lianzhu asked the Gray Guards, but the Gray Guards were also mysterious.
After waiting for another two days, the War King appeared and started talking to Liao Jiu and his wife.
"Have you found a place to forge the materials left over from killing the dragon last time?"
Liao Jiu nodded. "I found it, Dad. It's in the underground black market in the capital. There are several blacksmiths who are above the fifth level of martial arts. I contacted one of them and asked them to use the scales to make armor, the dragon skin to make soft armor, and the dragon bones to make soft swords. The materials have been sent over. When the time comes, I will send people from the Six Gates to supervise the forging..."
They are all good things.
It's not that I trust the blacksmiths who are above the fifth level of martial arts. It's just that their stuff is good and there are so many of them. Even if they belong to the imperial court, they may be taken away by someone.
Zhan Wangdao said, "Well, I've been browsing the black market these days. I want to make the tentacles in my hands into the whip of my dreams. Currently, no one in our Da'an Kingdom has this level of skill. Dad plans to go on a long journey to refine this dragon whip..."
Jiang Lianzhu asked curiously, "Where are we going? How long will it take?"
The War King replied, "There are places in this world where powerful people gather, like the underground black market in the capital of our Da'an Kingdom. Only those with high-ranking abilities can access it. Ordinary people, even if they are old Beijingers and have lived there their whole lives, may never have heard of the underground black market. Dad has now advanced to the ninth level of martial arts, and has only just begun to touch the threshold."
Jiang Lianzhu was stunned when she heard this.
After listening for a long time, she still didn't know where her father was going?
The War King continued, "So, the place Dad is going to is the largest black market for powerful people in our Zhongyuan Continent. The location of the market is different every year, maybe this country, maybe some other country. I went to Tan Tao's place these days and analyzed it with him. This year's black market might be in Darong Country. He happens to be going to Darong Country to study. Dad is going to leave Beijing with him because he is going there. What do you think?"
Liao Jiu and his wife looked at each other.
There is a huge amount of information in these words.
Jiang Lianzhu chewed it carefully.
There is a powerful black market in Zhongyuan Continent, and the opening locations are randomly rotated in different countries. Confirmation requires analysis.
Tan Tao also knew about the black market for the strong, which meant that he was also a strong man.
The War King said he was going to Darong Country to customize a dragon whip! However, Darong Country caused him to contract a cold poison, and he suffered so much. Wu Man'er also died in Darong Country. He had just reached the ninth level of martial arts and had just stabilized his realm. He went to Darong Country. Was it to make a dragon whip, or was it to seek revenge under the pretext of making a dragon whip?
So, there is a personal reason to seek revenge that does not involve two countries?
Did he leave Beijing with Tan Tao? Did Tan Tao go to study in Darong Kingdom again? What was the topic of his study tour this time?
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Now that Da'an Kingdom is at peace, Dabao's ascension to the throne is on track.
There is no need for the King of War to stay in Beijing to maintain order.
Everyone has his or her own unfulfilled wishes. Let them complete them as soon as possible and let go of their worries as soon as possible.
"Dad, when are you leaving? When will you be back?"
Prince Zhan replied, "I plan to report to the new emperor in three days, and Tan Tao also needs to make preparations..."
"Okay, Dad, if you want to go, just go. We are here in the capital, don't worry. If anything happens, we can just keep in touch."
King Zhan smiled knowingly, he knew that his daughter could understand him.
"Um!"
Since Jiang Lianzhu agreed, Liao Jiu naturally had no objection.
However, Liao Jiu thought more, "Dad, the news of your departure from the capital should be kept secret. You can tell others in the capital that you are returning to your fiefdom. In your fiefdom, you can say that you are recuperating in seclusion and put up some fog array."
