Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 165: Verbal Argument (3)

Jin Lier thought that the appearance of the Claw Tribe in Jinyang City was definitely not that simple. The only option now was to pretend that she knew nothing and then arrange for someone to investigate secretly afterwards.

She simply pretended not to care about the "big secret" and said, "No matter what the big secret is or what the small secret is, even if he doesn't kill me, I will send someone to kill those Saudi people!"

When Jin Lier said this, not only Zhao Xiantong was shocked, but Chang Lun was also very surprised. He thought that although the people of Sha country were not likable, they came to Jinyang City just to do business. The young master was always accommodating to people doing business, so why would he want to kill them?

Xuanying hid in the compartment behind the hall and heard the conversation between the two clearly. He had no idea what Jin Lier meant by saying this.

Zhao Xiantong stammered, "This...this...my young master also wants to kill the Saudi people, why?" Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This part also did not escape Jin Lier's eyes. She thought that Zhao Xiantong was so nervous about the people of Sha country. There must be something that he didn't want my Jin family to know. It was difficult for a small Jinwei like him to make the decision on this matter, and it was even more impossible for him to dare to come to my Yunying Palace to ask for someone. Therefore, it was most likely that it was something from the Golden Sword Sect, and it was not a small matter. It was even directly related to the Sword Master. That was why he was so fearless and even worried.

He said, "Three people from the Sha country came to my Jinyang City for no apparent reason. They definitely don't have any good intentions. Even if you people from the Jindao Sect don't care, I, the Yunying Palace, can't."

Zhao Xiantong frowned and said, "Even if they don't have good intentions, there's no need to kill them all. It's said that every tribe in the Chisha Nation has a Spirit King. The Spirit King of the Claw Tribe is called Yan Claw, and he's very powerful. If we kill him and provoke him, we'll be in big trouble."

Jin Lier said, "What is there to be afraid of? Don't we still have your Golden Sword Sect in Jinyang City? The Sword Master is extremely skilled in martial arts. Who cares if he is a Spirit King or Spirit Lord? We will kill him one by one, and if there are two, we will kill a pair."

Zhao Xiantong snorted and said, "Young Master, you are thinking of our Golden Sword Sect now."

"What are you talking about, Zhao Jinwei? The Jindao Sect has been working hard to protect Jinyang City from being bullied by outsiders. Over the past decade, they have made numerous contributions, which are witnessed by the people of Jinyang City. Moreover, dealing with foreign enemies is the responsibility of the Jindao Sect. If I don't think of you, who else can I think of?"

Zhao Xiantong snorted again and said, "There is no need to make unnecessary enemies. My city is thousands of miles away from the Claw Tribe's territory and we have never had any disputes. There is no need to provoke them." He thought to himself that all the people in the Jin family are the same. When they tell people to do something, what they say sounds better than singing.

Jin Lier nodded and said, "You have some truth in what you said, but it's better not to say things like 'there has never been any dispute'. More than two hundred years ago, the Chisha Kingdom and our Cangmu Kingdom had a war that lasted for nearly forty years. You, Zhao Jinwei, have forgotten it, but many of us in Jinyang City have not forgotten it."

More than two hundred years ago, a long war broke out between the Cangmu Kingdom and the Chisha Kingdom. At that time, the Chisha Kingdom army marched straight into Jinyang City after passing the Beast Mountain. It is said that the people of Jinyang City died or fled, and nine out of ten houses in the main city were empty, which was extremely miserable. The Cangmu Kingdom paid a heavy price to finally drive away the Chisha people, and the biggest price was paid by Jinyang City.

This war had been over for more than 200 years, and people nowadays have long forgotten it, and few people mention it anymore. Jin Lier was only 18 years old, so she naturally had not seen the tragic scene of the war at that time, and she didn't expect that she still hated the people of Chisha Country.

Zhao Xiantong didn't know how to argue, so he could only say, "So, you've already prepared to deal with the Claw Tribe?"

Jin Li'er said, "Of course we are prepared. Captain Zhao Jin, if the people from Sha really come to my Jinyang City again, do you plan to stay in Jinyang City, or do you want to go to Yunguan, or Waningyi, or Chenmuguan? Although my Jing'an Hall and Yunying Palace are not involved in military affairs, I think I can still send someone to whisper a few words in Your Excellency's ear." Jin Li'er changed the subject.

Jieyun Pass is the boundary pass between Jinyang City and Bicheng, located 1,200 miles south of the city; Chenmu Pass is 700 miles east of the city, at the foot of Datu Mountain, built specifically to deal with the evil spirits in Youmi Ancient Forest and Qingyuan; Waningyi is located 1,600 miles west of the city, where Jinyang City has stationed heavy troops to prevent intrusions from Baijun City and Xihai City. The Claw Tribe came from the far south, so they could only come from the east, south, and west, especially Jieyun Pass, because this route is the most convenient.

Therefore, Jin Lier asked about the names of three places: south, east and west, to see how Zhao Xiantong would answer.

Zhao Xiantong was very cunning. When he heard Jin Lier ask this, he immediately became alert. He rolled his eyes and said, "I'd like to stay in Jinyang City. My parents, wife and children are all here. I want to protect them."

Jin Lier said: "You are a filial and loving son and father. But if you don't want to make more contributions to Jinyang City, aren't you afraid that this Jinwei will be snatched away by someone else?"

Zhao Xiantong was shocked, thinking that this matter must be considered. He was able to get the position of Jinwei because he was the second disciple of the master, but the master also said that the position of Jinwei would not be done forever. At that time, it would depend on the merits of each person. The greater the merits, the lesser the merits. If he stayed in Jinyang City, the position of Jinwei would be occupied by others sooner or later.

However, he remained calm and said calmly, "There is nothing we can do. If there is someone who has made greater contributions than me, I will voluntarily give up the Golden Lieutenant Seal. Regardless of whether the position is high or low, it should be held by those who are capable and have made contributions. No one should just rely on the reputation of their master or ancestors to hold an important position. This is the case for our Golden Sword Sect, and I think it should be the same for Jinyang City."

Jin Lier thought to herself, "You must not take an important position just because of your master or ancestors' reputation." Isn't that referring to me? You, Zhao, said it carelessly. You are indeed a cunning old fox. I have to be more careful with you in the future.

Then he said, "So, you, Zhao Jinwei, really don't want to make more contributions?"

Zhao Xiantong replied, "It's not that I don't want to, but I really don't dare to leave my parents, wife and children behind and go alone. Besides, the garrison duty of Jinyang City is not a trivial matter. Just like this time when I caught a murderer, I tried my best but still couldn't handle him properly. How can I dare to go to the border to guard? If I miss something important, I will be the biggest sinner of our city."

Jin Lier nodded and said, "You are right, 'No matter how high or low the position is, it should be held by those who are capable and have made contributions'. It seems..." She pretended to think.
