Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1521 The Untamed 1

The succession of Emperor Zhenshun was very sudden. The Linzi Palace did not have time to fight for its life. He became the newly crowned emperor, and Xiao Jinyue legitimately replaced the new emperor Xiao Xian as regent. At this time, the young emperor Xiao Xian was only seven years old and had just completed his enlightenment.

However, there was no benefit in Xiao Jinyue's regency. Over the past ten years, with her full support, Zanghai built many water conservancy projects. The hidden fields and polder fields in the south of the Yangtze River were cleared, and the Jianghuai area no longer feared floods.

As for the Yongrong Palace, in view of the full support given to Xiao Jinyue by the Yongrong Prince and his sons, Xiao Jinyue supported the Yongrong Prince's eldest grandson to go out and occupy the mountain and become the king. However, when the Yongrong Prince saw his eldest grandson submitting the letter in the name of the head of a country, he still did not agree to leave Dayong after all, and ordered his descendants never to betray Dayong.

The newly established Lan Fang Empire, together with Dayong, controlled Luzon, took the lead in going out of the land, opened up the Maritime Silk Road, and further strengthened the exchanges between Dayong and the whole world.

By that time, Xiao Jinyue had already retired and traveled around with Canghai. The two of them had already seen off Emperor Zhenshun and Canghai's great master. Because they were worried that Liuchu would be too sad and hurt his body, they simply took Liuchu, Guanfeng and Shilei with them.

However, when Jiang Xinxin broke away from the identity of Xiao Jinyue and prepared to cross the void, she was captured again.

Changsheng only had time to explain: "Xinxin, there is a madman who wants to capture you to fulfill his own son's dream, but don't worry, I have also sealed his own son's memory. The result depends on your own ability!"

When Jiang Xinxin woke up again, she had become the young master of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, Jiang Cheng Jiang Wanyin.

She vaguely remembered Changsheng saying that God was helping his son's dream come true, and he seemed to have said something about sealing his memory, so even though she felt she had lost a lot of memory, she was not in a hurry.

But the smell of alcohol was really bad, especially since she had slept in her clothes all night. When she was about to get up, she found that she was holding someone in her arms.

Jiang Cheng was so shocked that he pushed the person off the chaise longue. When he stood up and moved away from the bed, he realized that the person he had just held in his arms and pushed off the bed was actually Lan Zhan, the second son of the Cloud Recesses!

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but start to think carefully about what was going on. Before he had any clue, Wei Ying hurried over to check the situation.

Wei Ying saw Jiang Cheng standing in the middle of the room in a daze. He walked in and found Lan Zhan lying on the ground unconscious. He felt that the situation was a bit tricky, but he hurried to help "destroy the body". "Alcohol is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses. We drank a lot yesterday. We have to clean up quickly!"

The table was not only filled with unfinished side dishes such as crispy peas, fried peanuts, braised broad beans, and pickled edamame, but also a pile of bones and nearly ten wine jugs of various sizes!

Wei Ying kept chattering to himself, it was a rare opportunity for him to be in control of the overall situation in Jiang Cheng's place, he was very proud of himself.

"I'll just put these leftovers in the storage bag. It's hard to throw them away because we are pressed for time and have a heavy workload. Hurry up and take down the quilts and mattresses hanging on the windows and put them away!"

"And there's a smell in this room. You need to open the doors and windows to ventilate it. Also, change the clothes you wore yesterday!"

"It's not convenient for you to take a shower here, but I'm ready over there. Don't just stand there and watch. Hurry up and get moving!"

Urged by Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng reflexively made a few hand gestures, and the quilts and mattresses hanging on the doors and windows were put back on the bed. The smell in the room also dissipated a lot. Wei Ying cleaned up the table and the floor and quickly lit incense to further dissipate the smell. He turned around and prepared to pull Jiang Cheng to his yard to bathe and wash up. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Lan Zhan, who was still lying on the ground, seemed to have his headband crooked.

Jiang Cheng also saw Lan Zhan and was embarrassed. Wei Ying said with a look of pity, "It's rare to see Second Young Master Lan in such a mess. Otherwise, Ah Cheng, you go and wash up. I'll take care of Second Young Master Lan."

Jiang Cheng had an average impression of Lan Zhan. Apart from his good cultivation, there was nothing else about him. What's more, he was still a little embarrassed about having slept with Lan Zhan in his arms for a whole night. So of course, he let Wei Ying do whatever he wanted.

It just so happened that Mr. Lan Qiren of the Cloud Recesses was out attending a literary gathering and was not at home. Everyone had been on vacation recently, so Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying went to Jiang Yanli's place as usual to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast. They even forgot about Nie Huaisang, with whom they had secretly drunk last night, and only made an appointment with Wei Ying to go fishing in the pond in the back mountain of the Cloud Recesses.

However, they were really unlucky, or they underestimated Lan Zhan's pedantry, so after Lan Qiren came back, they were immediately taken to the elegant room to be punished.

In front of Songfengshuiyue Hall, Lan Zhan had been kneeling straight and had endured many beatings. When Lan Qiren saw Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying being brought over, his look of disappointment was really oppressive. After all, his good boy was led astray by two hooligans. How could he not be angry?

It just so happens that these two hooligans have excellent cultivation and character, but their behavior is really unacceptable to this old man.

Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying each received fifty beatings, which was of course nothing compared to the two hundred that Lan Zhan received, but they felt wronged!

Nie Huaisang followed behind them attentively, holding a folding fan in each hand to send cool breeze to Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying's fevered backs to relieve the pain. He looked secretly happy at having escaped by chance, but also a little embarrassed.

Jiang Cheng rudely complained about Lan Zhan: "That Lan Er, is there something wrong with his brain?"

"The fact that we drank alcohol is something that only God and the earth know about. Why do you have to take the initiative to come forward and accept the punishment?"

"He likes to be spanked, but we don't!"

Wei Ying also complained: “That’s right, this Lan Er is too rude, how are we supposed to get along with him in the future?!”

Nie Huaisang didn't dare to say anything, and could only complain that the Cloud Recesses had too many rules. "This is my third time here to attend the class, and I've watched the rules at the Cloud Recesses become more and more numerous year after year. No wonder everyone can't stand it anymore."

Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying supported each other. They could only keep their backs straight because of the pain in their backs. It was difficult for them to walk, and even their hair was all pulled to their chests.

After Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying jointly complained, they finally calmed down a lot and said something pertinent. "The Wen Clan is getting stronger day by day, and Wen Ruohan's greed is insatiable. I wouldn't be surprised if he repeats Xue Chonghai's mistakes sooner or later."

"But the Lan Clan is a bit short-sighted. These strict rules have made the disciples become cold and indifferent. When they go out for night hunting, at a critical moment of life and death, who would care about the ancient sages' legacy and the gentleman's manners?"

"Does it mean that when Wen Ruohan comes to kill us, we still have to follow those rules and manners?"

Wei Ying also echoed, “Yes, yes. I saw that the Lan disciples did not disguise themselves when they went out for night hunting. They wore white clothes and even their overly conspicuous headbands could not cover up their appearance. It is possible that many disciples would expose their identities as Lans and encounter unnecessary troubles.”
