Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 120 Jinling
  "It's really troublesome. There are always people who think they can keep it secret!" Jia Qiang shook her head.

He took out the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' and placed the front of the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' in front of the water ghost.

As soon as the water ghost's eyes came into contact with the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror', he stared at it.

A large pile of gold and silver appeared on the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror'. These gold and silver shone with a charming light, which made the water ghost's spirit sink.

"Tell me who asked you to kill me. These gold and silver are yours." Jia Qiang's voice was full of temptation.

"It's the third master of the Zhen family, and it's Manager Liu who comes forward!" The water ghost gave the answer Jia Qiang wanted to know without any resistance.

Just when Jia Qiang was about to ask, the water ghost's body quickly deflated as if it had been drained.

Jia Qiang could feel that the water ghost's energy and vitality had been drained by the 'Feng Yue Baojian'.

A strange light flashed on the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror', as if it had received some great tonic. The 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' seemed a little newer than before.

Jia Qiang shook his head, and he put the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror' back on his inner armor. This immortal treasure was really evil, but it was really useful.

It's just that the strength of the water ghost is too weak, and the 'Feng Yue Baojian' is in the strongest state in Jia Qiang's hands, and it only takes a moment to suck up the water ghost.

"Zhen Yingcheng, I didn't expect that you would really fight to the death with me!" Jia Qiang said coldly to herself.

Thinking of going to Jinling this time, it would be better to get rid of Zhen Yingcheng easily.

It's not that he doesn't want to get rid of the Jiangnan Zhen family, but the Jiangnan Zhen family has a bit of influence on Daqian, especially the old concubine cannot die in his hands.

Killing Zhen Yingcheng doesn't matter much. There are three masters in the Zhen family, and Zhen Yingcheng is looking for death himself.

Even if this matter comes to the Supreme Emperor, Jia Qiang will not have any worries.

He could feel from the Supreme Emperor that the Supreme Emperor was very close to him. Although he didn't understand the reason, it was obviously a good thing.

Jia Qiang threw the body of the water ghost to Jia Jinguang, who opened the window next to him with the shriveled body and threw it into the water.

"Where are you?" Jia Qiang came to the deck and looked at the ship's boss and asked.

"Young Master, we have entered the realm of Jinling. We will be at the dock in half an hour!" the ship's boss replied respectfully.

For this young master of his family, he was not only respectful because of Lin Ruhai's kindness, but the terrifying strength shown by Jia Jingan made him recognize the young master even more.

"Jinling is coming soon!" A smile appeared on Jia Qiang's face.

The ship boss couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart when he saw Jia Qiang's smile. He seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in this smile.

Jia Qiang killed too many people. In just a few years, he killed almost 7,000 people. In the process of practicing the 'Taixu Jing', this part of the murderous intention was unknowingly transformed into his Traits.

The immortal who killed so many people in the mortal world has already gone crazy eight hundred times, but he is different. He uses mana, the energy from the game board, to practice the 'Taixu Jing', so he is not a real immortal.

The taboos that immortals need to pay attention to have nothing to do with him, but they are not without their shortcomings, that is, it is difficult for him to use immortal spells.

A small Qi-gazing technique, this is the most basic immortal technique, and his mana must be consumed quickly to support it.

Think about it, when using game skills, 2 mana points can be used to cast a 'healing spell [advanced]' that is enough to treat serious injuries, or a 'poison spell [intermediate]' that even immortals dare not despise. It's just 1 point of mana.

It can be seen that the energy quality of mana is extremely high. It is precisely because game skills and immortal magic are two different systems that make it difficult for him to cast immortal magic.

The boss of the ship did not need to give orders to hang the flag belonging to the Salt Transport Envoy Yamen. This was a privilege given by Lin Ruhai.

With the flag of the Salt Transport Office, when docking at the Jinling official pier, there is no need to wait in line with other ships, and you will not be searched.

When the Western-style gunboat parked, Jia Qiang led the white horse, followed by Jia Jingang. His luggage was a carriage, and most of the carriage was filled with books.

After all, I came here to prepare for the exam, but I had to show off anyway. I couldn't save the books in my inventory. That would be too suspicious.

"Brother Jia Xian!" Xue Tong came over as soon as he got off the boat.

Xue Tong originally wanted to take his daughter to see Jia Qiang for treatment, but after meeting Lin Ruhai, he learned that Jia Qiang was going to participate in the provincial examination. He did not want to disturb Jia Qiang's study because of his daughter's treatment.

My daughter's illness was nothing to worry about, it was already under control, so I wanted to ask Jia Qiang to treat her just to put the icing on the cake.

Xue Tong had in-depth business cooperation with Jia Qiang, so he knew when Jia Qiang would arrive in Jinling, so he was already waiting at the dock today.

"Brother Xue, please come here in person!" Jia Qiang was very happy to see an acquaintance.

"When I learned that Jia Xiandi was taking the provincial examination, I prepared a quiet courtyard in my mansion!" Xue Tong said with a smile.

"No need to go to such trouble, I've booked an inn!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and replied.

"Isn't it a slap in my brother's face to stay in an inn even though I've already come to Jinling?" Xue Tong didn't want Jia Qiang to stay in an inn, so he pretended to be slightly annoyed and said.

"That's too much trouble!" When Jia Qiang saw this, she knew it was hard to refuse.

Of course, having a quiet yard is much better than staying in an inn.

The inn is crowded, and even the best room can be disturbed.

Jia Qiang was invited by Xue Tong into a luxurious carriage. Although the horse pulling the carriage was not up to the level of a good horse, it was not much different.

Xue Tong also noticed Jia Jingang. It was obvious that he was a guard, so he didn't ask any questions.

Jia Jingang did not get on the carriage, but followed it.

"Brother Jia Xian, drink tea. This is Jinling's Yunwu Tea!" Xue Tong poured tea for Jia Qiang with his own hands and introduced it.

The cup used for drinking tea is a crystal cup. When the hot water is poured into the cup, clouds of mist rise and the fragrance is overwhelming.

Jia Qiang noticed that Xue Tong's method of pouring tea was somewhat special. It was this special method that could stimulate the aroma of Yunwu tea as much as possible.

The two sat opposite each other and sipped tea, enjoying the peace of mind brought by the fragrance of tea.

The carriage was traveling in Jinling City. There were spare ice cubes in the carriage to keep the temperature inside the carriage pleasant.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but sigh that Xue Tong really enjoyed it. Of course, Jia Qiang himself didn't need ice to cool down. His physique was extremely resistant to cold and heat.

From time to time, he looked out the car window and saw that Jinling was more prosperous than Yangzhou.

Jinling has a very special status in Yangzhou. It was the capital of Jinling when Dagan was built, and was later moved to the current capital.

In Jinling, there is not only a royal palace, but also a complete imperial court.

Many officials who were squeezed out of the imperial court in the capital, or who wanted to retire in the south, would enter the small court in Jinling.

Of course, this small court only has a name and rank, but no real power, but this also makes Jinling's position in Daqian extremely special.

Therefore, the appearance of Jinling is more majestic than that of ordinary cities. This was the former capital of Daqian. In addition, Jinling is the economic and cultural center of Jiangnan, which makes Jinling even more cultural. "Stop the carriage!" Jia Qiang stopped the carriage when it passed the horse market.

"This is the horse market. Could it be that Brother Jia Xian wants to buy a horse? You don't have to buy horses here. As long as Brother Jia Xian asks, I can have people search from all over Daqian!" Xue Tong saw that there was a horse market outside, and he Said with a smile.

"What kind of horse is that?" Jia Qiang knew that Xue Tong meant well, but he saw a huge horse. He pointed at the horse and asked.

"You are talking about the Sharma. It was purchased from the west by the Wu family, a horse dealer. However, the Sharma is not popular in Jinling. Its speed is too slow. People who can afford it cannot buy it because it is too slow. It is too expensive to buy it and use it as a horse to pull goods.

It is because of this batch of Sharma horses that the Wu family, a horse dealer, has become a laughing stock in Jinling. As long as the Sharma horses are not sold, they will never be cleansed. "Xue Tong replied with a smile.

Such interesting things in the business world cannot be hidden from him.

Jia Qiang did not expect to see the Sharma horse in Daqian. The Sharma horse is the largest horse in the world. It usually weighs more than one ton and can pull more than five tons of weight.

The only problem is that the Sharma horse is too slow. Unless it is a heavily armored cavalry, other cavalry who want to use the Sharma horse as a mount must consider whether the Sharma horse can catch up with the enemy at its speed.

Even for heavy armored cavalry, there are other horses that can be chosen, all of which are far faster than the Shire horse.

Sharma horses are mostly used as draft horses in the West. Obviously, Sharma horses are not suitable for large-scale work, so they cannot be sold.

Think about it, it goes without saying that it costs a lot to bring a Shire horse from the West to the East. If it is sold as an ordinary draft horse, it will be a huge loss.

"Brother Xue, do me a favor and see how many Shire horses the Wu family has. I want them all!" Jia Qiang asked with a smile.

"Since Brother Jia Xian wants it, I will do it!" Xue Tong replied with a smile and waved his hand.

He knew Jia Qiang's net worth, but it was just a small expense, so he could just buy it back and treat it as a toy.

He was also a decisive person, so he immediately summoned his entourage and whispered a few words.

The carriage restarted, but Jia Qiang was thinking about the usefulness of the Sharma horse.

The first time he saw Sharma, he thought of Jajajang.

Jia Jingang's speed is a big problem, and when fighting on land, the best choice is to ride a horse. If the horse is fast enough, it can make up for his speed problem.

The Sharma horse is slow, but Jia Qiang has the ability to fuse with the war horse.

As long as the Shire horse is used as the main body and the characteristics of other war horses are integrated into the Shire horse's body, a new type of Shire horse that is fast and retains the characteristics of the Shire horse can be obtained.

Of course, this is just his idea and needs to be confirmed through practice.

He is now rich and has the conditions and ability to support his ideas.

In addition, Jia Jingang is only the first summoned object he has resurrected. When the level of the 'Zombie Driving Technique' increases, the number of summoned objects can increase. He needs to prepare war horses for subsequent summons.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion. The plaque in front of the mansion said 'Ziwei Sheren Xue Mansion'. The Xue family, a merchant family, still used the standard residence of civil servants.

Jia Qiang was slightly startled. This was in Jinling. If he were in the capital, he would have been impeached countless times by officials.

Of course, there are other reasons for this, which he cannot know, but it can also be seen from this that the Xue family is not a simple merchant in Jinling.

The middle door of Xue Mansion is now wide open, which is the treatment to welcome distinguished guests.

Jia Qiang saw Xue Pan, and Xue Pan swayed from side to side, trying to see Jia Qiang before others.

Next to Xue Pan, stood a little girl with a round face, looking towards Jia Qiang with a pair of curious eyes.

Beside them was a plump woman.

It can be seen that Xue Tong attaches great importance to Jia Qiang. In addition to welcoming her to the dock, the whole family greets her at the gate of the house.

"Brother, come and meet your sister-in-law!" He introduced the plump woman to Jia Qiang.

"Jia Qiang has met my sister-in-law!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

"Brother Jia is too young!" Mrs. Xue rolled her eyes at Xue Tong, then bowed and saluted.

In her heart, she blamed Xue Tong for becoming a brother with such a young child, but thinking that Jia Qiang cured Xue Tong's disease, she was full of gratitude to Jia Qiang.

She knew how much trouble the Xue family would be without Xue Tong.

"This is the eldest nephew. You know him. This is the little girl Xue Baochai!" Xue Tong continued to introduce.

Xue Pan touched his big head and laughed.

"I've met Uncle Jia!" Xue Baochai said with a very dignified bow.

Jia Qiang returned the gift and glanced at Xue Baochai. Although Xue Baochai was still young, it was extremely rude to observe too much.

But with just a glance, he saw Xue Baochai clearly.

In the world of Red Mansions, he met Lin Daiyu and Miaoyu, the twelve golden hairpins. Lin Daiyu ranked first, and Xue Baochai in front of him was the second golden hairpin.

From his perspective, Lin Daiyu and Miaoyu were both light and graceful women. Although they were still young, they already showed their adult charm.

Xue Baochai, on the other hand, has a wealthy appearance, and her skin is extremely white, which can truly be called ice skin, and the white is dazzling.

In addition, Xue Baochai is more mature than Lin Daiyu and Miaoyu. At the same age, Xue Baochai is less childish and is like a boudoir.

"Uncle Jia, who is this?" Xue Pan pointed at Jia Jinjiang curiously and asked.

The image of Jia Jingang is really too scary. He is wearing armor and lowering his visor so that his face cannot be seen.

When Xue Tong saw Xue Pan asking this question, he was about to scold him, but was stopped by Jia Qiang.

Indeed, since Jia Jinguang was hiding his face with a mask, he didn't want others to know his identity, so Xue Pan lost his sense of sight.

"This is the guard the teacher hired for me!" Jia Qiang introduced with a smile.

Xue Tong was thoughtful, but Xue Pan's expression changed drastically.

"Is he the God of Death?" Xue Pan blurted out.

Who knows that Lin Ruhai, the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, had a guard who killed more than 6,000 people in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and was called the God of Killing.

Such a murderer was about to enter the house. How could Xue Pan not be frightened? If he hadn't known that Jia Qiang was a friend, he would have almost peed.

Jia Qiang was welcomed into the mansion by Xue Tong, and the books and luggage on the carriage were delivered to the prepared yard.
