Chapter 249: Jing Liang's Past
"Thank you very much for this meal, Lord Long Hai."
Jing Liang wiped his mouth, his action showing perfect etiquette.
"If there is anything you can tell me in the future, please tell me first."
“Is this the price of breakfast?”
"I treated you to breakfast. I never ask for money after a meal. This is a deal."
"If it's a deal, I would still recommend my uncle. After all, I am a nobody and may not have access to some intelligence."
"How you want to discuss this with your uncle is your business. I just need to get the information."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "The reason for trading with you is also very simple, because you are young."
"Does this mean that I have great potential? Thank you for your praise."
“This is just one of them.”
"Secondly, because you are young, you have your own opinions on some things."
"People may think this view is naive and one-sided, but I still think highly of it."
"I don't like all the official rhetoric. I'd rather cut it all apart with the long sword in my hand."
Gu Sanqiu gently put down a bottle of pills: "This is a special healing medicine circulated among warriors. It is a tonic for a kid like you. Half a pill at a time."
"How about accepting this deal?"
"Straight to the point, and it's the type of deal I can't refuse."
Jing Liang took the bottle without hesitation: "I accept it . Recently, there has been intelligence that the people above seem to want to increase the enforcement of the Eye Hunting Order."
"Implementation intensity? What does that mean?"
"You have lived in the wild for a long time, so it is normal that you don't know the details of some things."
Jing Liang explained: "In fact, strictly speaking, the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order is carried out according to a set of procedures."
"Or in other words, the operation of recovering the Eye of God actually depends on the person."
"The shogunate soldiers and the Inagi people who have made contributions, it is reasonable that these people's God's Eyes should not be handed in before, but it may be different after this."
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "You mean, in the future, when we confiscate the Eye of God, we will not consider your identity, and even the bigwigs of the Three Envoys will be treated equally?"
"Well, although I have considered what you said, whether this measure is a case of boiling a frog in warm water is still debatable."
Jing Liang hesitated: "But if it is true, if this measure wants to be extended to those big shots, it will probably need a reason, and the time span may be very long."
No, not big at all.
Gu Sanqiu shook his head. However, the boy in front of him was right about one thing. If the Eye Hunting Order needed to be passed to a high-ranking official, there would definitely need to be a reason and a breakthrough.
In the near future, Thomas will be the opening.
If Golden Hair hadn't rushed out and snatched away the Eye of God, trampled on Inazuma's law in public, and then been directly wanted, it wouldn't be long before the little turtle who had frozen the sea would have to say goodbye to his Eye of God.
"Well, I want to confirm that you don't have the Eye of God."
"What I'm learning is the Yin-Yang technique that has been passed down from ancient times to this day. It has nothing to do with the Eye of God."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "I have defeated many guys with God's Eyes, but they were all vulnerable because the power of the elements actually ruined their own training. "
Oh my god, he is indeed a vicious person.
Jing Liang was stunned. It seemed that this guy was not only able to kill sneaky people, but was also very strong in normal combat, perhaps even stronger.
"That's good. However, to be realistic, if the Eye Hunting Order continues to be implemented, perhaps someone like you can get a high position in the shogunate."
"You don't want the Eye Hunt Order to continue?"
Gu Sanqiu sensed the other person's true thoughts.
"…I'm sorry I can't tell you the real reason, but it is true."
Jing Liang's face was bitter: "I can tell you one thing. In order to please the big shots above, my family spent all their savings over the years in one day, just to get their name off the list."
"Although I can't compare to those young ladies and young masters in the inner city, my family was at least a well-off family before. But now, haha."
Jing Liang smiled and opened his clothes, allowing Gu Sanqiu to see the patch on the lining.
"I haven't bought any clothes in a long time, even old ones."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at him and said, "The compensation given by Tianling Fengxing is not bad. This is what you just said."
"Yeah, that's what I just said."
Gu Sanqiu gently pressed down with his right hand, extinguished the stove, and looked at Jing Liang.
"But you still live in such a difficult situation, even in poverty. Add to that what you just said, it's enough for people to deduce the truth."
"One of your direct relatives is the one who possesses the God's Eye, and he has been seriously injured for some reason. If the God's Eye is taken away, someone without the nourishment of the elements may be in danger of death."
"Combined with the physical qualities you revealed yourself, that person should be your mother."
"Well, what I said should be close to the truth."
Jing Liang stood there in a daze, then collapsed to the ground, and the floor even made a muffled "bang" sound.
"Mr. Long Hai, do you have any wine here?"
"I got this from someone in the wild. It might be too strong for your small body. This is the liquor brewed by a wandering warrior. The texture and taste might not be that good either."
This was one of the spoils that Gu Sanqiu looted from the bandit camp.
"No, this is good enough."
Jing Liang tremblingly took out the medicine bottle he had just obtained, broke it open, picked up half a pill and put it directly into his mouth, then grabbed the wine can and swallowed it in big gulps.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Yeah, it's just the normal 'trying to ease the mood with alcohol but choking and coughing and blushing' part. You must have never drunk alcohol before."
"No, I haven't drunk alcohol. My uncle never lets me attend those social events, even though they are very helpful for my job. My uncle knows my health."
The medicinal power gradually dissolved in Jing Liang's body, and the face of this thin young man gradually became rosy.
"Your Excellency is very smart, not at all like those samurai who only know how to shout and scream with weapons. There is a place called Coral Detective Agency in the city. I think the boss and the president there should get along well."
"Not interested."
"All right."
Jing Liang took a sip and said, "Your Excellency is right. That person is my mother."
"When I was born, it was called a 'difficult birth' from a purely medical point of view. If my mother had not been the owner of the Eye of the Water Element God, I would not even be able to appear in this world."
Jing Liang said with a slightly bitter tone: "In order for me to survive, my mother overdrew her body and forced a large amount of elemental power to save my life."
"If it weren't for the nourishment of elemental power, I wouldn't have lived past the age of ten with my physical condition. My mother, who had overdrawn her body, insisted on helping me take care of my body day after day until I was no longer in a state where I had to gasp for breath after walking two steps."
"But after that, my mother also developed a chronic illness."
