Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 117 Zhenhe
  "Brother Qiang, who is he?" After Lin Ruhai returned home, he heard that Jia Qiang had brought back a man two meters tall and wearing armor. He quickly found Jia Qiang and asked.

Although he had great trust in Jia Qiang, the presence of a stranger at home still made him a little worried.

Jia Qiang is young after all. If she brings bad guys into the house, she will be in trouble.

"His name is Jia Jingang. He is the personal guard I found. To the outside world, he can be said to be the teacher's guard!" Jia Qiang explained with a smile.

"Jia Jingang, how strong is he?" Lin Ruhai felt relieved when he heard this name and asked.

The personal guards who can change their surnames are the most trustworthy people.

Don't underestimate surname changes in this era. Changing surnames means giving up your original identity and joining a new family.

Generally speaking, even when the royal family bestows a surname, the situation of the recipient must be taken into consideration before the decision can be made. Otherwise, directly assigning a surname may have the opposite effect.

Not to mention other families giving surnames, probably only orphans who have been adopted since childhood would think that giving surnames is a great honor.

"Invincible among immortals!" Jia Qiang thought for a while and gave her own judgment.

"Is he that strong? How does it compare to you?" Lin Ruhai heard Jia Qiang's evaluation and asked again in disbelief.

Invincible under the immortals, this evaluation sounds like an exaggeration.

But he didn't know that the evaluation Jia Qiang said was the most accurate evaluation made in Jia Qiang's heart.

Unless Jia Qiang uses her game skills, there is nothing she can do to Jia Jinjiang, let alone other mortals.

"I'm an archer, he's a close-quarters fighter!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile.

Lin Ruhai didn't know Jia Qiang's true combat power, but he still agreed with Jia Qiang's explanation.

"Teacher, are there any weapons close to four thousand kilograms in Yangzhou City?" Jia Qiang asked as she thought of Jia Jinjiang's weapons.

Lin Ruhai is very familiar with Yangzhou. If he can find it ready-made, there is no need to refine it.

Refining weapons weighing several thousand kilograms is not an easy task. It requires multiple iron-smelting furnaces to be opened at the same time and a blacksmith capable of refining large-scale iron tools.

This type of blacksmiths are all top craftsmen in Daqian and are difficult to find at least in Yangzhou.

So Jia Qiang thought of ready-made weapons. At least before returning to Beijing, if there was a ready-made super-heavy weapon available, Jia Jingang's strength could be brought into full play.

"That's right? A weapon close to four thousand kilograms?" Lin Ruhai thought that Jia Qiang had said something wrong, so he confirmed it repeatedly.

"That's right. With Jia Jingang's strength, he needs a weapon weighing nearly four thousand kilograms!" Jia Qiang nodded and confirmed.

"We don't have a four-thousand-jin weapon, but there is a three-thousand-jin weapon ready-made. Are you sure Jia Jinguang can really pick it up?" Lin Ruhai's attitude towards Jia Jinguang changed somewhat. He questioned in his heart whether Jia Jinguang was here. Jia Qiang was bragging in front of him, otherwise how could he tell such an outrageous weapon weight.

"It really does exist. Teacher, can you take me to see it?" Jia Qiang asked after hearing that there were no weapons of four thousand kilograms, but there were weapons of three thousand kilograms that could be used temporarily.

"Okay, it's right next to the canal. It's getting late now. I'll take you there tomorrow!" Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said.

Lin Ruhai was already thinking about letting Jia Jinguang show his true form tomorrow.

"By the way, I've already said hello to your Jiangnan properties, and all the managers from the Lin Mansion have been sent out to work on this!" Lin Ruhai thought of another thing and said with a smile.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but patted his head. He was so obsessed with practicing that he almost forgot about it.

The industries in prosperous locations in various cities in the south of the Yangtze River were all integrated, and a Qingfeng Building was opened in each of these cities. The Qingfeng Building was used as the skeleton to connect all these businesses, making it easier to manage.

This was his original idea, but currently there are still too few manpower.

Shopkeeper Quan has some abilities, but it's hard to say that he can fully take over and manage such a huge industry.

That is to say, with the help of Lin Mansion, he was able to take over so many industries in the shortest time.

Of course, if Lin Mansion does this, it will definitely have some impact on his own industry.

"Teacher, are there enough stewards in the Lin Mansion?" Jia Qiang asked after thinking for a while.

"Of course it's not enough. Our Lin family doesn't have much property, and we have only trained seven stewards over the years!" Lin Ruhai replied angrily.

"How about I contact Xue Tong and see if he has anyone available?" Jia Qiang thought about his circle of friends and found that the only one who could provide help was Xue Tong, so he put forward his own opinion.

"The Xue family is much better than the Lin family in business. You can cooperate with the Xue family and give up part of the benefits, which will save you trouble!" Lin Ruhai knew Xue Tong's personality and heard Jia Qiang's suggestion. He nodded and said.

"Let's discuss it after contacting Xue Tong!" Jia Qiang replied.

Having nothing to do all night, he felt a lot more relaxed no longer practicing the 'Wanjun Bone Refining Technique'. At least he could sleep like an ordinary person.

Before going to bed, he practiced the 'Taixu Sutra' twice before he really went to rest.

The next morning, Lin Ruhai deliberately took time out. Jia Qiang accompanied him in the carriage, and Jia Jinjiang followed the carriage to protect him.

The carriage headed towards the canal, and when it reached a certain point, Lin Ruhai stopped the carriage.

With Jia Qiang following, Lin Ruhai did not take Yan Ding out, only a coachman accompanied him.

He asked the coachman to look at the carriage, and called Jia Qiang and Jia Jingang to the canal.

"Brother Qiang, look there is a sword there, let Jia Jinguang see if it is suitable for use?" Lin Ruhai said with a smile, pointing to a small section exposed in the water by the canal.

Jia Qiang saw the part above the water, which was like a sword hilt, but the problem was that the hilt was too big.

When Lin Ruhai brought Jia Qiang over, it seemed like a joke.

He didn't even think that anyone could lift that sword, let alone use it as a weapon.

Jia Qiang waved her hand to Jia Jinjiang and gave an order in her heart.

Jia Jinguang strode towards the canal. Since the small section exposed in the water was still several meters away from the river, Jia Jinjiang entered the river without any hesitation.

Even though Jia Jin is 2.2 meters tall, the depth of this section of the canal has been deepened. Jia Jin just took two steps and his head was submerged.

"Brother Qiang, let him come back. There is no need to risk his life!" Lin Ruhai just wanted to see a joke and did not want anything to happen to Jia Jinguang, so he advised Jia Qiang.

"Teacher, it's nothing. Jia Jingan can stay in the water for a long time!" Jia Qiang waved back indifferently.

Jiajingang does not need to breathe. The water will only slow down its movement, and other aspects cannot affect Jiajingang.

Just as Lin Ruhai looked at the canal nervously, he was shocked to see a hand reaching out from the water and grabbing the huge sword hilt.

Then the water in a canal was stirred up, and the silt at the bottom of the river rolled, making the water turbid. Then a scene that made Lin Ruhai unbelievable appeared. Jia Jinguang was seen walking out of the water step by step, dragging a sword upside down in his hand.

"He really picked up the River Sword!" Lin Ruhai pointed at Jia Jinguang and said in horror.

The river-suppressing sword in the canal is not for human use, but to suppress the dragons in the canal and pray for protection from flood disasters.

Of course, another use of the river-suppressing sword is that the water level of the canal can be judged by the position of the river-suppressing sword erected in the canal above the water surface.

The Zhenhe sword was 7.5 meters long and weighed 3000 kilograms. He had never thought that anyone could pick it up before.

But the Jia Jinguang in front of him just walked out of the canal, dragging the three-thousand-jin river-suppressing sword.

"Jia Jingan, try a sword dance!" Jia Qiang loudly ordered Jia Jingan.

Jia Jingan possesses the fighting instinct of his original body, which Jia Qiang has tested. As for the application of weapons, Jia Jingan can use them as long as his original body has learned them.

In fact, these are not important. With a huge force of four thousand kilograms, a speed of 36 meters per second, and four thousand lives, Jia Jingang does not need any skills at all to fight. Any enemy who comes into contact with him will be crushed by the huge force. .

Following Jia Qiang's order, Jia Jinjiang waved the 7.5-meter river-suppressing sword, and a set of ancient sword techniques was displayed.

Lin Ruhai, who was twenty meters away, could feel the wind pressure brought by the River Suppressing Sword in Jia Jinguang's hand, causing him to retreat involuntarily.

Jia Qiang stood in front of him and blocked the wind pressure from Jia Jinjiang.

"Where did you find this person? With such great strength, wouldn't he be invincible?" Lin Ruhai murmured.

The Zhenhe Sword, which is 7.5 meters long and weighs kilograms, is wielded like an ordinary long sword. With its height of meters, all the stones and vegetation on the ground are turned into pieces within its attack range.

At this moment, Jia King Kong is just like the mythical King Kong and should not appear in this world at all.

"Stop!" Jia Qiang ordered.

Jia Jingang put away his sword and held the river-suppressing sword upside down in his hand.

Lin Ruhai wanted to say something at this time, but when the words came to her lips, she did not say them again.

He proposed that Jia Jinguang come and get the River Suppressing Sword, which was actually a joke. The River Suppressing Sword was a thing that suppressed the canal.

But when Jia Jinguang was asked to put the Zhenhe Sword back, he couldn't say it.

"Forget it, as long as you don't talk about the River Suppression Sword, who will take the initiative to mention it? When you get back, let someone rub off the mark on the River Suppression Sword!" Lin Ruhai thought of a solution in his mind.

Yes, even if someone recognized that what Jia Jinjin was holding was the River Suppressing Sword, who would say anything to a person who could hold the River Suppressing Sword as a weapon? He might have lived too long.

"Go get some cloth, I'll wait here!" Lin Ruhai did not go back immediately, he ordered the coachman.

The coachman left as ordered and returned after some time with the cloth.

"Brother Qiang, wrap the Zhenhe Sword in cloth, otherwise it will be too eye-catching!" Lin Ruhai said to Jia Qiang again.

In fact, he also discovered something wrong with Jia Jinguang. This Jia Jinguang seemed to be unable to speak. Except for Jia Qiang, no one else was taken seriously by Jia Jinjiang. Even when they saw him, they didn't mean to salute.

So whatever he wants Jia Jingan to do, he tells Jia Qiang directly and will not give instructions to Jia Jingan.

When we returned, although the Zhenhe Sword wrapped in cloth was still very eye-catching, the presence of Jia Jingang was already eye-catching, so it didn't matter.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Lin Ruhai immediately asked Old Butler Lin to find someone to deal with the Zhenhe Sword.

By the time Jia Qiang saw the Zhenhe Sword again, the Zhenhe Sword had lost its old appearance after being corroded by water in the canal.

The surface of Zhenhe Sword has been re-polished. Although it is not as smooth as a mirror like the surface of an ordinary sword, it is still very flat and there are no bumps or bumps like before.

The words on the hilt of Zhenhe Sword were polished off by craftsmen. Without these words, the identity of Zhenhe Sword cannot be confirmed.

Of course, anyone who knows the Zhenhe Sword will recognize such a huge sword when they see it, but with this procedure, at least no one will cause trouble officially.

After getting the processed Zhenhe Sword, Jia Qiang took Jia Jinjiang and left the Lin Mansion.

After leaving Yangzhou City and finding a deserted place, he equipped the Zhenhe Sword into Jia Jinguang's equipment slot.

In this way, Jia Jingang can take out the Zhenhe Sword and use it anytime and anywhere without having to hold it with his hands.

"Swing the river-suppressing sword!" Jia Qiang gave an order to Jia Jinjiang.

Jia Jingan once again wielded the River Suppressing Sword. This time, it was different from before. Jia Qiang let him use his full strength. The River Suppressing Sword flew up and down in Jia Jinguang's hands like an ordinary long sword. It was completely different from the three-thousand-jin sword. Heavy weapons are so cumbersome.

The time for a stick of incense passed, half an hour, an hour, until an hour and a half later, Jia Qiang asked Jia Jinguang to stop waving.

Sure enough, as Jia Qiang judged, the weapon can be used freely by Jia Jinjiang as long as it does not exceed the limit of Jia Jinjiang's strength. Moreover, Jia Jinjiang has no endurance problems and is completely a perpetual motion machine.

"If this is put on the battlefield, who can resist it?" Jia Qiang thought to herself.

Anyway, when he saw Jia Jingang wielding the three-thousand-jin river-suppressing sword, he had no idea of ​​fighting him.

Even Jia Qiang was afraid of being hit by the Three Thousand Jin River Zhenhe Sword. If she was hit by this weapon, she didn't know if the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' would be enough to heal her.

With Jia Jingang's unparalleled fighting power, Jia Qiang wants to find an enemy to fight with, but where can he find an enemy?
  He thought about asking Lin Ruhai if he could find a large-scale private salt dealer.

But he doesn't know that the current security situation in Yangzhou is the best in decades.

The eight major salt merchants worked together to control their subordinates and prevent them from doing anything illegal in Yangzhou.

The actions of the eight major salt merchants naturally affected the remaining small and medium-sized salt merchants. Although they did not understand why the eight major salt merchants did this, they also worked together to restrain their own power.

At least before Lin Ruhai leaves Yangzhou, Yangzhou's public security will be such that no one picks up lost things on the road, and people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Jia Qiang took out her white horse card and equipped it to Jia Jinjiang's equipment slot.

At his command, Jia Jingang mounted the white horse.

But when Jia Jinguang rode on the white horse, he immediately asked Jia Jinguang to get off the white horse.

It's not that the white horse's load-bearing capacity is poor, but that the white horse is a bit short. The two-meter-two Jia Jinguang, plus the seven-and-five-meter Zhenhe Sword, are simply out of proportion when riding a white horse.

Jia Qiang was worried that the enemy was not killed by Jia Jinguang, but was laughed to death by the image of Jia Jinguang riding a horse.
