Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

The late sun makes the mountains and rivers beautiful.

The spring breeze smells of flowers and grass.

In the afternoon, at the highest observation deck of Laoshan Mountain.

Looking down at the 800-li Spring God and the spring scenery of Laoshan Island, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.

What the great men of the past said, "The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete for it," is absolutely correct.

The vision is broadened and the world is vast, which really inspires people to be ambitious and makes them make progress.

After three years of hard work, it's time to go out and explore the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but yelled:

"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of all the small mountains."

"Good, good one, I will stand on top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains."

Zhao Xu listened to the sound and looked over.

A middle-aged man in his forties was slowly walking up a step lower than the top of the mountain.

Following behind him was Wang Zhong, the Wang family's chief steward.

The middle-aged man is naturally the head of the Wang family—Wang Quanlin.

Wang Quanlin came up, and Zhao Xu immediately clasped his fists and said:

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

With financial support from the Wang family, Zhao Xu practiced hard for three years.

It’s not that he didn’t go anywhere except practicing in the past three years.

Every New Year, Zhao Xu would go to Xiangfan City to celebrate the festival with other members of the Wang family.

Including the time he first arrived in Xiangfan, Zhao Xu has spent four Spring Festivals in the palace.

After three years of getting along, the Wang family and Zhao Xu have become very familiar with each other.

Among them, Wang Dongchu and Zhao Xu met the most times and their friendship was the deepest.

Of course, this is mainly due to the thousands of years of cultural heritage accumulated in Zhao Xu's previous life.

Wang Dongchu has now written "Spring God Tea" and is a well-known talented woman.

Although Zhao Xu and Wang Quanlin met only a few times, they had a lot of communication.

In addition to meeting every Spring Festival, the two communicate via correspondence every month.

At the beginning, Wang Quanlin mainly asked about Zhao Xu's daily life and cultivation.

Later, Wang Quanlin intended to cultivate Zhao Xu and would talk about some business and things happening in various countries.

Zhao Xu has the foundation of five thousand years of previous life and knows many secrets of this world.

His unique insights and responses often inspire Wang Quanlin.

Of course, Zhao Xu did not express these views for no reason.

He also wanted to understand the world through communicating with Wang Quanlin.

After all, what we knew in our previous lives were only the people and things around the protagonists.

These are not the whole picture of the world, not to mention that this is a comprehensive world.

Through Wang Quanlin’s channels, you can understand the world and see the situations in various countries.

He can use this information when traveling around the world in the future.

The two last met during the Spring Festival in January.

Now that the three-year period between the two parties is coming to an end, Zhao Xu plans to bid farewell to the Wang family in the near future and officially step into this turbulent and treacherous world.

Wang Quanlin received the letter and knew that Zhao Xu was about to leave.

So, he came here to meet Zhao Xu under the pretext of inspecting Laoba Mountain.

"Hahaha, Xiaoxu, it seems that you are now full of ambition and want to go out into the world to see the world!"

Wang Quanlin walked briskly and quickly came to Zhao Xu.

Then, the two of them walked to the observation deck together and looked at the vast lake and the spring scenery of Laoshan Mountain.

Zhao Xu did not respond immediately, but looked at the scenery of Laoshan for a while before saying:

"A life of loyalty and filial piety can travel the world, and a thousand miles can be traveled in a single step."

"Uncle, I am different from many people. I am single now, without any parents to support. I am lucky to have learned this skill, and I want to make a name for myself in this world."

Wang Quanlin supported Zhao Xu's idea of ​​entering the underworld.

However, he believed that he was only seventeen years old this year. Although his martial arts had reached the second level, he could still stay in the Wang family for a few years to practice in secret and further improve his martial arts.

Given Zhao Xu's talent, the Wang family was willing to provide the resources to keep Zhao Xu for a few more years.

However, seeing that Zhao Xu was determined, Wang Quanlin did not speak out this idea.

Zhao Xu naturally knew what Wang Quanlin was thinking.

When Wang Quanlin came to Laoshan to see Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu guessed his purpose.

Deep down, Zhao Xu was very grateful to Wang Quanlin.

This is a place where I am unfamiliar with.

If Zhao Xu, who became an orphan, had not been valued and invested in by Wang Quanlin, his cultivation career would have been difficult.

Although Wang Quanlin had good intentions to keep me in the Wang family, time did not allow it.

The general trend of the world is vast and powerful. If you follow it, you will prosper; if you go against it, you will perish.

Knowing the future changes, Zhao Xu wanted to survive and live well in the future changes in the world.

He must accumulate enough capital before the great changes in Liyang occur.

There is still time, you must go out and explore the world, and take your destiny into your own hands.

After Wang Quanlin reached the top of the mountain, although he was also enjoying the spring scenery, he actually focused more on Zhao Xu.

When Zhao Xu said "I want to give it a try", he felt a terrifying light in his eyes.

"It's great to be young!" Seeing Zhao Xu's vigor, Wang Quanlin was shocked and felt that his mentality had become much younger.

The two talked for a long time on the top of the mountain, exchanging their views and thoughts on recent events in various places.

As it got dark, the two prepared to return to the Wang family residence.

On the way down the mountain, Wang Quanlin suddenly said:

"Xiao Xu, the Wang family's business in the southern countries has gradually expanded in recent years."

"But these places are far away, and I am tied to them, so I can't understand the specific business conditions in different countries for the time being."

Wang Quanlin stopped talking in the middle of his words.

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Besides, I still owe the Wang family three things!"

Zhao Xu "deeply detests" Wang Quanlin's behavior of leaving words half-sentenced.

"It's uncle's fault!"

"You are going to go out and explore the world, and I want you to take a trip to the south on my behalf."

Zhao Xu agreed with Wang Quanlin's request in his heart, and this coincided with Zhao Xu's plan.

There are many masters in big countries like Liyang and Beili, which are not friendly to the fledgling Zhao Xu.

On the contrary, there are relatively few masters in the small and medium-sized countries in the south, which is very suitable for young people like Zhao Xu who are just starting out in the martial arts world. However...

"Uh, uncle, if you want to do something, you have to have a name!"

"Not only that, I can't go alone!"

Wang Quanlin saw Zhao Xu pondering for a while and thought he disagreed, but unexpectedly, he said something that made people laugh and cry.

Of course he heard the subtext in these words and wanted to get some benefits.

"You, you!"

"When you arrive in the south, you will immediately become the temporary manager of the Wang Family Trading Company in the south. All members of the trading company in the south will obey your orders, and all expenses will be recorded in the trading company's account."

"The chief steward Wang Zhong will also bring a group of people to the south. He will verify your identity and assist you in handling affairs. If you have any questions, you can write to me through him or the merchant bank."

Zhao Xu glanced at the butler Wang Zhong next to him, smiled at Wang Quanlin, bowed and said:

"Uncle has great trust in me, and I will do my best to serve you until my death."

Wang Quanlin and the butler Wang Zhong next to him couldn't help laughing at Zhao Xu's antics.

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Xu agreed, and Wang Quanlin was in a very good mood. He thought very highly of Zhao Xu.

After three years of getting along, Wang Quanlin believed that Zhao Xu was a genius who was both civil and military.

He had intended to recommend him to King Xu Xiao of Northern Liang, but considering that Zhao Xu was about to start traveling around the world, he gave up the idea.

Of course, Wang Quanlin also has his own selfish motives.

Zhao Xu is the talent that Wang Quanlin thinks he has the most potential for, and they also have a long history together. Wang Quanlin does not want him to be imprisoned by Beiliang.

He privately believed that if Zhao Xu was not imprisoned, he might achieve something beyond everyone's imagination in the future.

At that time, it will be a great blessing for both himself and Beiliang.
