Chapter 27: Qingjiang Water Mansion



In a side hall, a handsome man in a Chinese robe sat high up, sipping tea with his head down.

At the lower end, a messenger wearing a white bone mask spoke indignantly, "Young Master, our previous agreement was not like this! We have paid so much, why are the Qingjiang Water Clan only swimming on the river surface?"

The man in the Chinese robe clicked his tongue, "Hmm, this jade tea is really good, nourishing the spirit. Messenger, are you really not going to drink it?"

The messenger was probably tired of talking and drank the tea next to him, then said, "The Qingjiang Water Mansion has always been known for its integrity. The Lord of the Mansion made a promise to Zhuang Chengqian back then, and fought with his entire clan, causing the Lan River to turn red with blood. It is still praised by people today. Why is the Young Master going back on his word? Aren\'t you afraid of damaging the reputation of the Lord?"

The Lan River is a major river in the Yong Province, and the messenger was referring to the founding war of the Zhuang Kingdom. The Yong Kingdom launched a joint attack by land and water, intending to wipe out the Zhuang Kingdom. It was the Lord of the Qinghe Water Mansion who fought with his entire clan and defeated the Yong Kingdom navy on the Lan River, causing the river to turn red with blood. Boats and oars did not stop moving. This resolved the worries of the founder of the Zhuang Kingdom, Zhuang Chengqian, and allowed him to fight freely and successfully establish the kingdom.

And the alliance between the Qingjiang Water Mansion and the Zhuang Kingdom has continued ever since.

The man in the Chinese robe put the teacup gently on the table. Although he had a smile on his face, the atmosphere had changed completely.

"The messenger reminded me. My father had an agreement with the Emperor of the Zhuang Kingdom. If I promise to help you, wouldn\'t it violate my father\'s integrity? This is a great act of filial piety."

"Come here." The man in the Chinese robe tapped on the table with his fingers, and a guard came, "Pass the order, let the remaining troops of the Yuyong Department withdraw three miles away, and do not disturb the creatures on the shore."

"Young Master!" The messenger stood up angrily.

"Don\'t pretend." The man in the Chinese robe raised a finger and placed it in front of him, looking indifferent. "The entire army of Qinghe County is on guard against us and dare not leave easily. You can do whatever you want calmly. Your goal has been achieved, don\'t be so greedy."

"We agreed beforehand that you only need to attack the shore casually..."

The man in the Chinese robe interrupted him, "Do you think it\'s possible for us to go ashore? The water clan is like the land for your human clan, losing its foundation once it leaves the water. Unless you can really make me determined to fight against the Zhuang court, but do you have the capital to do so?"

The messenger\'s face was hidden behind the white bone mask, so his expression was unclear, but his voice sounded like it was squeezed out of his teeth, "I gave you a whole dragon ball!"

"It is indeed a valuable gift." The young master of the Qingjiang Water Mansion smiled, very satisfied. "But it only makes me do this much."

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the messenger with the white bone mask left with a flick of his sleeve.

In the side hall, only the man in the Chinese robe was left. He sneered, "A person who hides his head and shows his tail, what right does he have to talk to me about integrity?"

At this time, a majestic voice sounded in his ear, but the owner of the voice did not appear, "Qingyue, tell me your thoughts."The young lord of Qingjiang Water Mansion, Song Qingyue, restrained his arrogance and sat up straight. "Zhuang Ting and our Qingjiang Water Mansion have had a covenant for hundreds of years, and he\'s becoming increasingly arrogant. Now Zhuang Gaoxian doesn\'t know his place and treats us as his vassals. He even sent a message asking for his son to marry Qingzhi, claiming that she would be honored as the Crown Princess and establish an eternal friendship..."

"I absolutely cannot agree to this. When Aunt married Zhuang Chengqian, she not only worked hard but also fell victim to a plot and died in the cold palace! How could I let my younger sister suffer the same fate? I was just looking for an opportunity to make that Zhuang boy know who\'s in charge of this 700-li water area. But I have to be careful with my actions, as the human race is now dominant. Even if we overthrow the Zhuang family, other countries\' rulers may not be pleased. The 30,000 navy troops cruising the Qingjiang River are just right. Unexpectedly, these Bone Path people came to offer the Dragon Ball, which is a pleasant surprise."

The majestic voice sighed, "Your aunt and Zhuang Chengqian were in love back then. It wasn\'t a marriage alliance that your father wanted... but let\'s not talk about that. How do you plan to arrange Qingzhi?"

Song Qingyue pondered and said, "The situation with the Clear River County Governor is getting ugly, and Zhuang Gaoxian is shameless. It\'s not a good idea to stay in Qinghe City. But Qingzhi is still in the stage of learning, and my son suggests sending her to Fenglin City to study for a while."

"Why Fenglin City?"

"I can\'t hide anything from Father." Song Qingyue said, "Since the Bone Path was willing to send the Dragon Ball, there must be a huge move in Fenglin City that can shake the Zhuang family\'s territory. Moreover, after Qingzhi goes to Fenglin City, we can openly send people to protect her. Fenglin City is small and has no high-level experts to interfere with us. I can also investigate the Bone Path\'s traces and explore their secrets. The Bone Path has a long history, and there must be many good things. We must eliminate evil and protect the righteous. One Dragon Ball is not enough for me."

The majestic voice did not comment on Song Qingyue\'s clever thoughts and only said, "You have full authority over the affairs of the Water Mansion. You can handle it as you see fit."

"Yes." Song Qingyue nodded and said, "By the way, I have already sent someone to deliver the Dragon Ball to your closed-door room. Please remember to refine it."

"I have seen the Dragon Ball. There are some tricks inside that I have erased. You can use it with confidence, and it can save you a thousand years of hard work. As for me, I am already a dying man and have no hope of becoming a dragon. Your aunt has been dead for 217 years and three months, and Zhuang Chengqian has been dead for almost 200 years. There are few old acquaintances left. I\'m just alive, and now I\'m just protecting you for a while longer. Although the Dragon Ball is good, it\'s useless to me."

The voice became lower and lower, finally turning into a sigh and disappearing into the side hall.

Song Qingyue leaned lightly on the high chair and suddenly felt bored.

...

The Bone Mask Envoy left the Water Mansion and boarded a small boat. The boat seemed to be made of bones and had no bottom, but it traveled extremely fast in the water. Even if it encountered fish or crabs that couldn\'t dodge in time, it would just roll over them and leave no trace of blood.

The Bone Path\'s bottomless boat quickly surfaced, and the envoy disembarked and walked up the shore. The boat turned back and disappeared into the water, leaving no trace of its destination.The envoy silently hurried along, his steps were fast, but he did not touch the dust. He seemed to know the route of the Qinghe County army\'s garrison like the back of his hand, shuttling through the gaps in the garrison with ease. Soon, he left and went up a mountain.

The mountain looked like a bull\'s head from afar and was quite beautiful up close. The envoy walked up to a rock wall and without stopping, went straight in.

Inside, there was a different world.

Various bloody and terrifying murals covered both sides, and the long corridor was paved with blue bricks.

As soon as the envoy entered, someone came up and asked, "How is it?"

The person with the white bone mask said in hatred, "Song Qingyue swallowed the bait, but only lightly brushed against the hook!"

The other person said, "Song Hengjiang is still alive, he won\'t let Song Qingyue act recklessly. We didn\'t expect them to really tear their faces off and fight with Zhuang Ting."

"Although that\'s the case, I still find it despicable. That\'s a Dragon Ball! It has been extinct since the Middle Ages, and each one is rarer than the last." The person with the white bone mask sighed.

"After the matter in Xiaolin Town is done, we will have achieved our goal. We don\'t need to pay attention to these trivial matters. Besides, I\'m afraid that the little brat won\'t adapt well to our Dragon Ball..."

"He thinks he can play with the White Bone Dao, but he doesn\'t know..." The person with the white bone mask became fierce, "When Daozi is born, we will first slaughter the Qingjiang Water Mansion! Let the entire seven hundred miles of Qingjiang turn into white bones!"
