Chapter 1809 Find Chen Qiang!
The battle of Liangshan Marsh is over.
The battle situation here also shocked the world. 80,000 people against 230,000 people, and the final result was that the 230,000 people were completely defeated.
General Qi Sha, who led the troops, was killed, and only 30,000 of the 230,000 soldiers escaped.
The price paid by Liangshan Marsh was only 20,000 people.
This ten to one casualty ratio is simply unheard of.
Logically speaking, Jiangshan and his team should be rewarded for achieving such results.
But the result was that half of the people in the court were calling for severe punishment of Jiangshan.
Because after learning the news of this battle, Duke Tie Yunpeng openly declared his rebellion against the court.
The reason was that the imperial court was incompetent and actually sent people to attack the expeditionary army.
And these so-called "people" are naturally the 80,000 troops in Jiangshan's hands.
However, when faced with these remarks, Emperor Song and Grand Tutor Pang directly suppressed the public opinion in the court and promoted Jiangshan.
In response to the court's reward, Jiangshan wrote a letter of thanks, but refused to go to the capital on the grounds of urgent military situation.
This vaguely uncontrollable behavior made the situation of the entire Green Forest Era become delicate.
......
Some town.
"Gugugu! Bubbles are floating gently~"
"Swish! The clear water is swaying gently~"
Chen Changsheng strolled through the market humming a cheerful song.
Soon, he came to an old man and said, "Old man, how much do you sell these vegetables for?"
Hearing this, the old man with cloudy eyes looked up at Chen Changsheng and said slowly: "One penny for three pounds."
"The price is right, I'll take them all."
"Also, my family is having a banquet soon, so we need a lot of green vegetables. I'd like to take all the vegetables you have."
"Sir, this is all the greens I have grown. I don't have anything else."
"is it?"
"I don't believe it unless you let me go to your house and take a look."
"Even if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. The worst that can happen is I won't do business with you."
As he said this, the old man was about to get up and pack up his stall, but Chen Changsheng grabbed his hand and said.
"Chen Qiang, you don't want me to fight you in the street, do you?"
"If you wish, I can let all the people in this town be buried with you."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, the old man said calmly: "I never thought that the famous national teacher would be such a cruel and ruthless person."
"Same here. You weren't much better when you were a bandit."
"I came here to ask you something, and I won't leave until I achieve my goal."
Seeing Chen Changsheng's determined attitude, the old man was silent for a moment, then said lightly.
"Okay, then you come with me!"
After saying that, Chen Qiang turned and walked towards the alley, while Chen Changsheng followed him with a smile.
Not long after, Chen Qiang took Chen Changsheng out of the town and came to a wooden house.
"Wow!"
Hot water poured down, and Chen Qiang handed a bowl of hot water to Chen Changsheng and said.
"This place is simple, I don't have any good tea to serve you, I only have a bowl of hot water, I hope you don't mind."
Chen Changsheng drank the hot water on the table in one gulp and smacked his lips. "You're so cautious! You're really scared of death!"
"Are you afraid to drink tea because you're afraid the taste of the tea will cover up the smell of the poison?"
"When traveling in the martial arts world, it's always better to be more careful."
Chen Qiang simply replied and then sat down.
Looking at Chen Qiang, who looked no different from an old farmer, Chen Changsheng said, "Back then, the chief disciple of Tianwai Tian was known as the Jade-faced Young Master."
"How come you're living like this now? Even if someone wants to hunt you down, you don't have to humiliate yourself like this."
Hearing this, Chen Qiang looked up at Chen Changsheng and said, "I've humiliated myself so much and still couldn't escape you."
"If I hadn't abused myself, would I be alive today?"
"The Green Forest Era is just a place where you can stay briefly in your life, but for us, it is a cage that we can never leave."
"You people from the Epoch Times will never understand the sorrow of us."
"stop!"
Chen Changsheng raised his hand to interrupt Chen Qiang and said, "I'm not here to listen to your complaints. I'm here to hear the truth."
"I have also carefully investigated the truth of what happened a hundred thousand years ago over the years."
"But after sorting it out, I still feel like I'm looking at flowers in the fog."
"As someone who was involved a hundred thousand years ago, perhaps you can clear this fog for me."
Facing Chen Changsheng's words, Chen Qiang did not answer immediately, but looked at him straight.
After a long while, Chen Qiang sighed and said, "It's normal for you to feel like you're looking at flowers in the fog."
"Because whether it's Hong Jing, Jiang Shan, or even the bigwigs in the capital, none of them know the truth of what happened a hundred thousand years ago."
“People’s perspectives can be very one-sided, right?”
Chen Changsheng interjected, and Chen Qiang nodded, "That's right, people's views are always very one-sided."
"Jiangshan may have told you everything that happened back then, but he definitely didn't tell you that he was not in his right mind at the time."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng raised his brows and immediately became interested.
"That's what it means literally!"
"Back then, he and I pursued Hong Jing together. In terms of length of time, I spent the longest time with him."
"After all, Hong Jing was still an unmarried girl at that time, so it was impossible for her to stay with us all day."
"As rivals in love, we two have seen each other much more often than Hong Jing."
"During the time I was with him, I found that Jiangshan would lose some of his memory every once in a while, and he didn't even notice it."
"Why is this happening?"
"do not know!"
Chen Qiang shook his head and said, "At the time, I just thought he had gone too far in his practice and was losing his mind."
"Later I found out that he seemed to have been plotted against."
"Just when I was about to conduct a thorough investigation, something happened in Jiangshan."
"Then it's what you all know."
Looking at the calm Chen Qiang, Chen Changsheng sized him up and said, "His logic is clear and his emotions are stable."
"Just looking at these two points, you are a promising talent."
"No wonder Jiangshan refused to elaborate on your past. He must have suffered a lot at your hands back then."
Hearing this, Chen Qiang said with a slight smile on his face.
"Let bygones be bygones."
"In fact, I admired Jiangshan very much back then. It's rare for an adopted son from a small family to have such a broad mind and talent."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'm even willing to withdraw from the competition with him and recruit him to Tianwaitian."
"But who would have thought that he was not some unsparkling gold, but a wandering dragon temporarily trapped in the shallows."
"Thinking about it now, my thoughts at the time were somewhat ridiculous."
