Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 19 Situation
Wang Liang had been a prime minister after all. Although it was only in a dream, he was still very confident about the overall situation.
As soon as he heard about the current situation in Dongfeng Town, he made a judgment in his mind that the Dongfeng Marquisate would soon be extinct, and now everyone in Dongfeng Town was paying close attention to this matter.
As long as the old Marquis of Dongfeng dies, the Crown Prince is a sickly and weak person, and may die earlier than the Marquis of Dongfeng. If the Crown Prince has no son, Dongfeng Town will be in chaos.
In the end, there are only three types of people who have the chance to seize the position of Marquis Dongfeng.
One is the side branch of the Dongfeng Marquis family, but this side branch does not have many talents. When Dongfeng Marquis built his mansion, in order to prevent the occurrence of weak trunk and strong branches, he used a semi-suppressive method for the side branch. Except for letting them learn some survival skills, they would not be allowed to come into contact with anything in the mansion.
Therefore, although these collateral descendants have the blood of Marquis Dongfeng, they do not have any abilities. Whether they are officials or soldiers, they are no match for those cunning old men.
Wang Liang was not optimistic about them either. He guessed that if any of the side branches of Marquis Dongfeng came to power, they would most likely be puppets created by someone.
The second type is young talents who have set their sights on the daughter of Marquis Dongfeng. Those who have the courage to plot against the daughter of Marquis Dongfeng are all from good families, like the Xiao family in Siming County. Xiao Zhengtan's reputation has spread throughout the entire Dongfeng Town.
Among the young people of this generation in Dongfeng Town, he is definitely ranked in the top ten.
In addition, there are several other young talents. They are either from prominent families or have extraordinary abilities. In short, whoever marries the daughter of Marquis Dongfeng will have the opportunity to take over Dongfeng Town in the next ten years.
The third type is several major county magistrates in Dongfeng Town, such as Hong Youcai, the county magistrate of Wudong County. He is only 30 years old this year, but he secretly controls five counties including Wudong County, Shanyin County, Lifang County, etc. It can be said that half of Xuanfeng Road is in his hands.
It would be fine during peacetime, but as long as a war broke out, Hong Youcai could send troops to take over Xuanfeng Road in one fell swoop, and use Xuanfeng Road as a base to swallow up the entire Dongfeng Town in a short time.
There are two such people in the entire Dongfeng Town. Although their number is small, they are the two most troublesome.
They are young, capable and ambitious, and now all they are waiting for is the opportunity to take action.
And the timing is very simple, that is the day when the old Marquis Dongfeng died.
Wang Liang's sudden appearance was equivalent to blocking the Xiao family's way.
Recalling the situation of Tiger Daoxian, Wang Liang asked again: "City God, is there a sect in Dongfeng Town that uses tigers as power?"
The City God nodded and said, "There are also cultivation sects in Dongfeng Town, and there are quite a few of them, a total of three. One of them is the ancestral temple of Dongfeng Marquis, which houses the worshippers of Dongfeng Marquis's mansion. They originally came from the same hometown as Dongfeng Marquis and contributed a lot to the first generation of Dongfeng Marquis.
Now the whole family has moved from their original paradise to Dongfeng Town. It can be said that this is what they deserve.
The second one is the Huxing Sect that you mentioned, which uses tigers for power. They were originally a local sect in Dongfeng Town. When the world was unified, their founder made great contributions by offering the pass and was awarded one fourth-grade, one fifth-grade, three sixth-grade and five seventh-grade imperial edicts. With these ten imperial edicts, they were doing pretty well.
It can be said that when the Dongfeng Hou Temple was not in place, they were the strongest force for cultivating immortals in Dongfeng Town.
The last one is a mysterious organization. Oh, this is what is said to the outside world. In fact, everyone knows that it is an organization of independent practitioners. They don’t have any imperial decrees, but they have some means of cultivation.
The reason why this force has become so powerful is mainly because Dongfeng Town has no special products and no large blessed places. Some noble families are unwilling to come here, not to mention those arrogant sects. "
Wang Liang was not concerned about this; he was paying attention to the affairs of the Huxing Sect.
After inquiring about Hu Xingzong's style of doing things, Wang Liang made a judgment.
"The Tiger Sect is placing a bet, and his target is Yuanshan."
The City God was a little surprised when he heard what Wang Liang said.
He had some guesses in his mind about Hu Xingzong's behavior, but that was based on the sufficient intelligence he had in his hands, which he pieced together bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, Wang Liang had already determined the target of Huxing Sect after just listening, and locked the opponent's target on Yuanshan.
Wang Liang did not notice these. He continued to speak calmly, "It seems that the Xiao family is the work of the Huxing Sect. After all, the location of the Xiao family is exactly the most critical location of Yuanshan Road. You said before that the Xiao family has been here as county magistrate for nearly sixty years. Then sixty years ago, the descendants of the Dongfeng Marquis would not have had such a hard time as they do now."
As soon as Wang Liang said this, the City God didn't know what to say.
When he thought about it carefully, it was true. Ever since the Xiao family came, the direct descendants of Marquis Dongfeng seemed to have been in trouble.
Now there is only a sickly person left, and no one knows when he died.
Such a thing would have been almost unthinkable sixty years ago.
Looking at the City God's expression, Wang Liang knew that he had guessed right without him having to answer.
"It seems that my presence has blocked other people's way. By the way, can I ask where the gate of the Tiger Sect is?"
"What are you doing?" the City God asked worriedly.
"I blocked other people 's way, they will definitely attack me. Now they haven't come back yet, I still have some time, I will deal with Hu Xingzong first, and then I will come back to deal with Xiao family. Oh, by the way, if this goes on, Dongfeng Hou family may still have hope, maybe I can discuss with them and ask them to help me suppress Xiao family's affairs."
The City God really didn't know what to say about Wang Liang's plan.
He finally realized that Wang Liang was the kind of person who liked to watch the fun and was not afraid of big trouble, and he was also the kind of person who had the ability to make things bigger.
If other people came here and encountered something like this, they would definitely think about how to defend themselves.
Wang Liang is directly blocking the enemy outside his territory.
However, this was actually a good thing for the City God. Not only did he not stop it, but he told Wang Liang how to find the old Marquis of Dongfeng.
After all, the old Marquis of Dongfeng is the real master of Dongfeng Town. When he was young, he had a pretty good control over Dongfeng Town.
After Wang Liang thanked him, he left quickly.
He left Siming County as quickly as he had come.
Because all the members of the Xiao family went to the funeral, no one knew that Wang Liang had been here once and had found out a lot of information.
