”Old Eagle, what's the situation outside?” Wang Chong asked, slightly raising his head.
”The Court of Judicial Review and Chamberlain of Dependencies are currently on high alert, and there are also people in the Imperial Army opposing us,” Old Eagle replied. ”However, the Wootz Steel swords have meant that those opposing us have a very small voice. The majority of the Imperial Army still supports us. Without their help, I probably wouldn't have been able to get inside, and the Court of Judicial Review and Chamberlain of Dependencies would have dragged Young Master into their own prisons.” His voice brimmed with discontent.
Wang Chong smiled. He had begun unrestricted selling of Wootz Steel weapons in the Imperial Army some time ago, and it was now becoming one of his biggest advantages. Just like Old Eagle said, even if the Imperial Army was split into two factions, probably neither side hoped to see him die, only protect him.
After all, the secret of the Wootz Steel swords was still his alone.
”How is my big uncle doing?” Wang Chong asked.
”Not well!”
Old Eagle shook his head, grimacing for a moment.
”The Court of Judicial Review and Chamberlain of Dependencies have no intention of letting anyone from the Wang Clan in. It was only after King Song paid a massive price and got me a token from the Bureau of Military Personnel that I was able to get inside. Even so, I still spent a long time waiting outside. I'm afraid that Lord Wang won't be able to come inside for the short term!”
”Tell him that no matter what, he has to come in and see me!”
Wang Chong suddenly turned serious.
”In addition, tell Big Uncle that no matter what happens next, no matter what he hears, until he meets me, neither he nor His Highness King Song should issue any opinions! Not a single one! This is very important. Old Eagle, can you remember that?”
”Ah!” Old Eagle gave a small yelp of surprise. Wang Chong had spoken these words with incredible gravity, an attitude that Old Eagle had rarely seen from Wang Chong.
”Young Master, is something big about to happen?” Old Eagle asked.
He had spent quite some time with Wang Chong, and so he knew that every time Wang Chong got this look on his face, some major event was about to take place.
”Old Eagle, remember my words. Relay them to him, and leave not a single word out!”
Wang Chong shook his head, his face unprecedentedly solemn.
”Also, I have an important mission for you! I need you to finish it as quickly as possible!”
”Young Master, please speak, and your subordinate will do all he can to complete it!” Old Eagle solemnly replied.
”Excellent!”
Wang Chong's right index finger shot out, striking a thin slip of paper on the ground. This light jab caused this sheet of paper to immediately fly forward like an arrow into Old Eagle's hand.
”This is a map that I've drawn. Old Eagle, in this period of time, I need you to help me sell the spirit vein!”
”!!!”
Old Eagle's composed expression instantly dissolved at these words.
”Young Master!!”
Old Eagle recoiled in alarm, looking at Wang Chong in shock.
”Why does Young Master want to sell off the spirit vein?”
This news was so sudden that Old Eagle's first reaction was that he had misheard. Wang Chong possessed a massive amount of capital, like the Hyderabad ore, a huge fortune, and Deflecting Blade Manor. However, the most important and most unique of these was not the Hyderabad ore, but that spirit vein several dozen li from the capital.
The Hyderabad ore would be consumed eventually, but the spirit vein could continue to be passed on through the generations, providing an endless stream of talents for Wang Chong, and perhaps even the entire Wang Clan.
As long as it had the spirit vein, then no matter how the times changed or what dynasty reigned, the Wang Clan would always be able to maintain its status.
The Wang Clan perhaps had no foundation in the past, but ever since Wang Chong discovered the spirit vein, the spirit vein had undoubtedly become its foundation.
