Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Chapter 20: The Autumnal Chills of Life

Don't say that every moment of time is short.

Once it’s gone, it’s hard to get it back.

Zhao Xu looked at Sha Huanjin lying on the recliner and found that he was also looking at him with sharp eyes.

He was about to speak, but Sha Huanjin raised his hand to stop him and said:

"Don't talk yet. Do you want to hear my story?"

When Sha Huanjin said this, Zhao Xu naturally listened attentively.

Perhaps, the doubts in my heart can be resolved.

"Why are you willing to trust me, Senior?"

Sha Huanjin smiled and said:

"I don't trust you, I trust Wang Quanlin, and I also trust myself."

Sha Huanjin mentioned Wang Quanlin again, and Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling strange.

"Senior and my uncle Wang..."

Hearing what Zhao Xu said, Sha Huanjin seemed very happy, not knowing what he was thinking about.

For some unknown reason, his coughing problem never recurred.

"After listening to my story, you will understand everything!"

An hour later, the door opened again.

Zhao Xu walked out alone, and Jin Meiniang and Sha Xing, who had been standing outside the door, immediately surrounded him.

Zhao Xu nodded to the two of them, and before they could speak, he spoke first:

"We have already discussed everything that needed to be discussed. We have stayed here long enough today. I..."

Zhao Xu seemed to be leaving, and Jin Meiniang asked anxiously, "Are you leaving now?"

Jin Meiniang was anxious, Zhao Xu comforted her:

"Don't worry, everything has been settled. You don't have to see me off."

"By the way, Mr. Sha asked me to notify you to go in."

After saying that, Zhao Xu bowed to the two of them, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Jin Meiniang and the other two didn't say anything else.

He watched Zhao Xu turn the corner before looking away.

After Zhao Xu went downstairs, he did not stop and quickly left the Jinsha Gang.

After returning to Wang's Trading Company, he told everyone not to disturb him and sorted out his thoughts alone in the courtyard.

What happened today had a great impact on Zhao Xu.

The first is the relationship between Sha Huanjin and Wang Quanlin.

Zhao Xu had always thought that the two met two years ago.

Unexpectedly, Sha Huanjin told him today that the two of them had actually known each other nearly thirty years ago.

Sha Huanjin was born in the Jiuguo region.

When he was young, he was arrogant and didn't want to live in the Nine Kingdoms where the military strength ceiling was low. He yearned for a big world like Li Yang.

Of course, the Li Yang area had not yet been unified at that time and was in the midst of a period of war during the Spring and Autumn Period.

However, heroes emerge in troubled times. The Thirteen Heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period were famous throughout the world and had a great reputation.

Their names were known all over the south, and Sha Huanjin was a passionate young man at that time.

The place where the Liyang Dynasty is located today was called the Central Plains by the southern countries and the northern Beili at that time.

Going to the Central Plains and building a career became the first choice for ambitious young people in both the north and the south at that time.

Following this trend, Sha Huanjin bid farewell to his family and went to the Central Plains to make a living.

During the process, he met Wang Quanlin, who also left Xiaowang Village and went out to explore the world.

Reality is often cruel.

After several twists and turns, Sha Huanjin's martial arts improved and he reached the third level.

However, there are many talented people and geniuses in the Central Plains, and the third level is not a big achievement.

Soon, his life took a turn.

Although Sha Huanjin was working in the Central Plains, he would return home to visit his relatives every year.

During those years of wandering, he also settled down in his hometown.

Soon after returning from a family visit, he received a letter from home saying that his wife was pregnant.

After reading the letter, Sha Huanjin knew that he had to make changes and could no longer waste his time in the Central Plains.

So Sha Huanjin said goodbye to Wang Quanlin and other friends and returned to his hometown.

Not long after Sha Huanjin left, Wang Quanlin took his close brothers to join the army in Liang Liao.

He later joined Xu Xiao's team, and the current Qingzhou Wang family was formed.

Sha Huanjin's life was not so smooth.

After returning to his hometown, Sha Huanjin wanted to live a stable life after his wife gave birth to a daughter.

But who knows, there will be unexpected changes in the world.

There were frequent wars in the nine kingdoms, and Sha Huanjin's family was affected by the war.

Although he has the third-grade cultivation, his personal strength is not enough to stop the trend.

Due to the war, Sha Huanjin's daughter went missing, and his wife died of depression not long after.

After his wife's death, Sha Huanjin was left without any ties.

He soon embarked on a long journey to find his daughter, and finding her became his belief in living.

Sha Huanjin knew very well that it was difficult to succeed alone.

So he joined the Jinsha Gang, which was not very famous at the time but had a good reputation.

Twenty years have passed in a flash, with wind and rain all around.

The Jinsha Gang grew to tens of thousands of members, becoming the largest underworld force in the Jiuguo region, and he also became the most powerful underworld figure here.

Unfortunately, his daughter still hasn't been found, and sometimes he even doubts whether she is no longer alive.

The fighting in his youth left Sha Huanjin with many old injuries.

Even if he achieved the status of a second-grade junior grandmaster, these old injuries could only be suppressed and could not be cured.

Heaven will not let down the poor.

More than two years ago, out of kindness, he saved a seriously injured woman.

While healing, Sha Huanjin was stunned after an inadvertent glance!

The heart-shaped birthmark on the woman's back is the same as the one her daughter was born with.

This birthmark is the reason why he never gave up and believed that he could find his daughter.

With years of experience and a strong character, Sha Huanjin forced himself to calm down and arrange for his daughter's treatment without making a fuss.

In his position, he must not show obvious weaknesses.

Can't recognize each other.

Sha Huanjin felt a little melancholy, but then he was excited because his daughter was found!

Sha Huanjin was very careful. After learning about his daughter's experience, he started a plan to protect her.

First, she changed her appearance and had a new identity - Jin Meiniang, in order to escape the pursuit of Zhuyiwei.

Then he brought Jin Meiniang to his side in the name of marriage.

Finally, he trained Jin Meiniang and let her gradually take over his power. After his death, he passed the Jinsha Gang to her.

Everything proceeds in an orderly manner.

In order to train Jin Meiniang, Sha Huanjin also contacted his old friend Wang Quanlin.

Wang Quanlin was planning to develop a southern trade route at the time, and the two hit it off immediately.

The Jinsha Gang cooperates with Wang's Trading Company.

Within two years, the Jinsha Tower and Jinsha Stack managed by Jin Meiniang flourished all over the nine countries.

Jin Meiniang lived up to expectations and developed Jinshalou into the number one gold-consuming den in the Jiuguo region.

While amassing a large amount of wealth, she also took advantage of the Jinsha Gang, which had tens of thousands of gang members spread across nine countries, to make the Jinsha Building also serve as a broker and become an intelligence agency.

Things in the world are unpredictable, and people's fortunes and misfortunes change all the time. It is difficult for them to develop in the direction they hope for.

When everything was going according to Sha Huanjin's plan, he himself couldn't hold on any longer!

The recurrence of an old injury from his youth made Sha Huanjin realize that he would not live long!

Today, her daughter Jin Meiniang has not fully grown up yet. Even with the support of her own secret forces, it will be difficult for her to take over the position of gang leader.

In desperation, Sha Huanjin thought of his old friend, Wang Quanlin.

Only the power from the great country Li Yang can suppress the restless local forces.

After figuring out the relationship between Sha Huanjin and Wang Quanlin, Zhao Xu couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

"Uncle Wang is so mean!"

"The leader of the Jinsha Gang is an old acquaintance, but you didn't tell me such important information."

However, the relationship between Sha Huanjin and Jin Meiniang really scared Zhao Xu.

Although, he had long guessed that the relationship between the two was not simple.

I didn’t expect it to be like this!
