Jian Wushuang saw Xiang Yang swaggering over, supporting his waist, with a maid helping him.

He had the appearance of an old wealthy landlord.

“You can go out first. I need to discuss something with Xiang… Fourth Master!”

The little maid obediently nodded softly and left.

Xiang Yang felt a bit distant and was somewhat displeased, saying, “Brother Wushuang, there’s no need for this formality. We’re all on the same side now!”

He took a sip from the teacup as he spoke.

Jian Wushuang found the scene both infuriating and amusing.

“Xiang Yang, are you planning to become a bandit in the mountains?”

“Of course not!” Xiang Yang quickly shook his head, but what he said next almost made Jian Wushuang’s jaw drop.

“Our ambition is to establish a dynasty. Didn’t you arrange everything yesterday? Wang Lun is the emperor, Scarred Shuan is the crown prince, you’re the great general, and I’m the prince!”

“I…” Jian Wushuang pointed at Xiang Yang, exasperated. “Couldn’t you stop me a bit?”

“I tried, but I couldn’t stop you!”

There was no way around it; they had indeed drunk a bit too much.

Jian Wushuang couldn’t blame Xiang Yang any further and could only shake his head with a bitter smile before taking another large gulp of tea.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang sighed, “You drank too much yesterday. I kept signaling you, but you didn’t notice. I have no objection to making Brother Wang Lun the emperor, but we can’t make Scarred Shuan the crown prince!”

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang spat out the tea he hadn’t swallowed yet.

It turned out Xiang Yang was trying to stop that.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Why are we here?” Jian Wushuang said seriously. “Not to become powerful or to gain some ridiculous title. We’re here to embark on the path of cultivation!”

“Uh, but isn’t that still far off?” Xiang Yang replied with a resigned attitude.

While they were arguing, hearty laughter came from outside.

Judging by the sound, it was Wang Lun.

“Brothers, are you sober yet?”

Wang Lun strode in, followed by Scarred Shuan, who looked groggy, clearly just pulled out of bed.

“Big brother!”

Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang quickly stood up.

“Sit down, we’re all family!” Wang Lun gestured, displaying an air of authority.

The four of them sat down.

Wang Lun personally poured tea for everyone.

After serving everyone, he said, “We were a bit reckless yesterday!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“It’s my fault. I was a bit too abrupt!” Jian Wushuang started to say something, thinking that yesterday’s wild talk made him seem unreliable.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lun lowered his voice and said, “Brother Wushuang, it’s not your fault. We just shouldn’t discuss such things in front of so many people. We need to close the doors and talk among ourselves!”

Hearing this, Xiang Yang and Scarred Shuan were no longer sleepy.

Especially Scarred Shuan, who was still concerned about his position as the crown prince.

“I’ve already sent brothers to scout out Shajia Town. The authorities there don’t have many people, but Shajia Town is indeed a strategic location. If we can take it, we can control twenty percent of the merchant ships passing through, which is enough to expand our forces by three thousand men!”

Wang Lun spoke confidently.

It was clear that yesterday’s discussion had also spurred him into action.

He genuinely believed they could accomplish something great.

His charisma was undeniable, and his subordinates at the small port greatly admired him.

Yesterday, when Wang Lun declared Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang as the new leaders, everyone had no objections.

Of course, some people might feel dissatisfied, and it would be up to Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang to resolve this.

Hearing the discussion about Shajia Town, Jian Wushuang began to ponder.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

They had passed by that area.

Their boat was also left there, although they hadn’t stayed long, but Shajia Port was one of the six ports on the canal.

After taking control, they could indeed seize twenty percent of the merchant ships.

But there was also a problem.

There were still five other ports.

If merchant ships used the other ports, they would essentially be guarding an empty port.

Moreover, the nearby official roads could be used to dispatch troops at any time, allowing them to be taken down easily.

The greatest benefit was that Shajia Port connected to the downstream Chishui Dock.

From there, they could prepare and then head to the sea.

In other words, if they took Shajia Port, the goods they seized would all belong to the

powerful and wealthy.

These influential people would never let them off.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

They would definitely send troops to exterminate the bandits.

Not to mention Shajia Port, even a small dock doing such things would attract the extermination of bandits by official troops.

If they took Shajia Port, they might be surrounded and exterminated by elite troops dispatched by the bigwigs of Yongcheng.

This was truly a risky endeavor.

After outlining the benefits, Wang Lun confidently said, “I forgot to mention, the reason why we always manage to rob the noble’s ships at the small dock is because I have someone inside

helping us!”

“Inside?”

Xiang Yang, intrigued, began to think, his eyes lighting up with surprise, “Big brother, you must have bribed a significant figure in Yongcheng, right!”

“To be honest, indeed, a major figure is supporting me. Otherwise, with all the gold and silver we’ve robbed, I could have expanded, but I feared this big figure’s suspicion, so I didn’t dare to expand. But with two brothers here, I can go all out!” Wang Lun’s eyes revealed madness

and a grand ambition.

Wang Lun was not very old, just over thirty.

He had attended private school for a few days and knew when to make his move.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Actually, without Jian Wushuang’s remarks, he had been contemplating whether to expand

his forces and secure wealth during the chaos.

How long could a bandit remain one?

He had a family to look after and couldn’t keep hiding forever!

Moreover, the Yue Kingdom was about to invade.

Pacifying the world was only a matter of time, and then they would have no place to survive.

To secure a future, they had to prepare early.

Initially, when he heard Scarred Shuan say Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang came from the

Great Tang, he was very excited.

Because he could arrange for his family to go to the Great Tang and use the money from their

raids to buy property.

When the Yue Kingdom invaded, he could leave without any worries.

But now, he changed his mind.

If he could do well in his hometown, who would want to leave?

If he could establish himself at home, there would be no need to go elsewhere.

“Establishing a dynasty is indeed a bit abrupt, but in this chaotic world, don’t you two brothers want to secure a status and some wealth for yourselves?”

Wang Lun’s words could stimulate any ordinary person, but they did not affect Jian

Wushuang.

However, there was a possibility for cooperation.

He and Xiang Yang entered Binhai Prefecture and headed to Yongcheng to find a path to

cultivation.

But to embark on the path of cultivation, they first had to meet cultivators.

Or be able to help cultivators.

To get noticed by them. Currently, the only notable cultivator he had heard of was the Little Liang King.

As for the so-called Tang Immortals Wang Lun mentioned, he didn’t even know their names,

and would have no idea where to find them if he went to the Great Tang.

It was better to try to meet the Little Liang King here.

The Little Liang King represented the Yue Kingdom in the campaign against the Jiang

Kingdom.

If he helped Wang Lun raise an army, he would naturally encounter the Little Liang King.
