Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 630: Chapter 521: Is my great-grandson not worthy of your family’s maid?

Yang Zhenshan had been following them for two hours, until the three of them entered a tea house. Just as Yang Zhenshan was hesitating whether to follow them inside, suddenly someone approached him and said, ”What are you looking at?”

Yang Zhenshan turned around abruptly to find a scruffy old man standing behind him.

”It’s you, you scared me.”

It was An Yuxing, and god knows how this old man suddenly appeared here.

An Yuxing stretched his neck to look into the tea house, ”That’s your granddaughter, and at your age, you are actually secretly following your own granddaughter!”

Yang Zhenshan pushed him away disdainfully, ”Go away, stop talking nonsense.”

Unmoved, An Yuxing continued to observe the three people inside the tea house. Once they went up to the second floor, he then said, ”That must be Qu Changkong’s grandson! Are your two families planning to form an alliance through marriage?”

”You actually know him!” Yang Zhenshan was surprised that An Yuxing knew Qu Shaogong.

It wasn’t strange for An Yuxing to know Yang Wanqing, as An Yuxing often came to him for drinks over the past three years and thus became very familiar with the Yang family members.

”Of course, I know him. Qu Changkong even came to drink with me in the capital years ago!” An Yuxing said.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes lit up, ”Let’s go, let’s have some drinks!”

”Have drinks! You have good wine!”

”Do you want to drink Drunken Immortal Brew?” Yang Zhenshan said cheerfully.

The Drunken Immortal Brew is a new wine he brewed in recent years, made from Drunken Immortal Herb.

It’s essentially similar to the Hundred Herbs Brew but is made more intoxicating with the addition of Drunken Immortal Herb, so much so that even Innate Martial Artists would get drunk to oblivion after drinking it.

”Made some more, let’s go!”

Hearing there was Drunken Immortal Brew, An Yuxing immediately perked up.

The two of them returned to the Marquis Jing’an Mansion together, where Yang Zhenshan had a table of fine dishes prepared and then brought out two pots of Drunken Immortal Brew.

Slurp~~

An Yuxing took a sip of Drunken Immortal Brew with his wine cup and showed a face of enjoyment.

The old man usually guzzles other wines straight from the pot, but he sips the Drunken Immortal Brew slowly and delicately.

One reason is because the Drunken Immortal Brew truly has an excellent taste that leaves one wanting more, and the second reason is that Drunken Immortal Brew is quite intoxicating, to the point that even a seasoned drinker like An Yuxing can’t handle much.

Yang Zhenshan also took a small sip, savoring the rich and delicate myriad of flavors.

”Come on, tell me about Qu Changkong!”

He knew of Qu Changkong, but his understanding remained superficial.

”Qu Changkong, oh, Qu Changkong is extremely cunning and sly!”

”...”

Yang Zhenshan was somewhat speechless. You, a centenarian relic, are actually calling someone else cunning and sly. Is that appropriate?

”Why do you say so?”

As he sipped his liquor, An Yuxing said, ”Qu Changkong inherited his title about forty years ago when the forces at Southern Border Town were weak compared to the Jinlong Dynasty. Even with the support from Da Rong, facing the Jinlong Dynasty was extremely challenging.

”But Qu Changkong was very patient. After inheriting his title, he showed weakness to the Jinlong Dynasty on one hand, while on the other hand, he trained elite soldiers in Southern Border Town. Moreover, he did something else!”

”What did he do?” Yang Zhenshan asked curiously.

An Yuxing grinned and said, ”He sent many ruthless criminals to the Jinlong Dynasty.”

Yang Zhenshan blinked.

”One ruthless criminal might not cause much havoc, but ten, a hundred, a thousand—considering how large the Jinlong Dynasty is, when hundreds and thousands of ruthless criminals entered the Jinlong Dynasty, they committed murders and arson, dealing all sorts of evil, and even formed bands of highwaymen with Qu Changkong’s support!”

”Just within ten years, the once prosperous Jinlong Dynasty turned into a land of chaos!”

”There were everywhere bandits, everywhere criminals!”

”In the end, he didn’t even need to send more criminals into the Jinlong Dynasty; many people within the Jinlong Dynasty turned into criminals on their own.”
