C12

After exiting the Jiang manor, Jiang Chuan and Wei Yan went to the Wei clan.

Wei Teng had also returned from the imperial court. What Jiang Chuan didn't know was that people had been asking about his identity ever since, and the first to ask about it was the Wei family.

The influence of the Wei family wasn't limited to just a large portion, especially after the Jiang family fell. The entire Wei family basically controlled half of the army in the entire country, and almost no one in the imperial court dared to provoke them. Even the king, King Chu, had to give the Wei family a third chance!

The ones who were suspicious of Jiang Chuan's clone were not only Wei Yan, Wei Teng, but even the elder generation of the Wei clan, Teacher Wei!

Teacher Wei was extremely familiar with old man Jiang. Back then, the two of them had fought side by side. It was only because of them that King Chu had been able to escape death and return to his current state of Chu!

When Teacher Wei heard the news about the Jiang family, his eyes shone brightly!

"Investigate!" He had to find out the truth! In the past, the Jiang family was the biggest grievance since the founding of Chu! "If I can find the King of the Old Jiang and find the river, then even if I have to cripple this old bone of mine, I will bring peace to the Jiang family!"

This was Teacher Wei's first reaction upon hearing news of the Jiang family!

Wei Teng nodded and left. He was well aware of his father's temper. If the old man wanted to find out more, he would have to find out everything!

Besides, Wei Teng also knew that the old tutor and the Jiang family's old man had been friends for life and death when the Jiang family was young. The two had supported each other on the battlefield in order to survive until today, when the Jiang family was in trouble, the old man had entered the dynasty several times to see Lord Chu, but he didn't get any results because at that time, there was already no one left in the Jiang family. Even Madame Jiang's whereabouts was unknown.

And now, it was likely that the Jiang Clan from back then was still in Chu!

As for the identity of Jiang Chuan, after a short period of time, perhaps it would be hard to find out. The King's Village in the mountain was isolated from the world, such as the Wei clan, or even the Chu Country. Perhaps no one knew about the existence of this village because the location of the King's Village was too remote and desolate.

Jiang Chuan had been there for half a month, so he had a better understanding of the situation. Other than the Wei family, many of the other families were born with connections, many of which had followed King Chu before he was founded, like the Li family and Yue family.

These clans were the backbone of Chu. In Jiang Chuan's heart, there were no good omens for clans like the Li Clan and the Yue Clan.

"Brother Jiang Chuan, the Martial Empire Competition that occurs once every ten years is going to be held in two months. With your archery skills, you should be able to win a position of an official and a half."

On this day, Wei Yan came to Jiang Chuan's residence and immediately informed him of the news.

"Martial Arts Examination?" "Are any practitioners participating?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Hehe, of course there are cultivators participating. However, with Brother Jiang Chuan's archery skills, he could also create a bloody path for himself among the cultivators." Wei Yan smiled as he said this because the previous arrow was too stunning.

"If I have a cultivator participating, then what am I going to do?" "I'm just a nobody, if I go, I'll just be cannon fodder." Jiang Chuan said helplessly.

Although Jiang Chuan's archery skills were outstanding, there was still quite a large gap when compared to cultivators. Back then, the old man had said that one could only launch a sneak attack when one met a cultivator who was at sea and could not face it head on. This Martial Empire Competition would definitely be conducted in front of tens of thousands of eyes.

"Hehe, Brother Jiang Chuan, you're looking down on yourself too much. Most of the cultivators at Fasting Sea wouldn't be able to receive your arrow, so I know what you're thinking. How about this, I'll report your name to the Wei family first. When the time comes, you can decide whether or not to show your face, how about that?" Wei Yan asked.

Jiang Chuan nodded his head. As for whether he would participate or not, that would have to wait until the time came.

Wei Yan looked at the arrows that were placed in the corner of the river, then said: "These arrows of yours might be good for hunting, but dealing with cultivators will still be a little difficult. Like this, I'll bring you to our Wei family's military headquarters and have the craftsmen make arrows for you."

"In that case, little brother will thank Brother Wei Yan." Jiang Chuan did not decline. If he wanted to deal with cultivators, the arrows he had on his body were indeed not enough. Only those arrows with great destructive power would have any effect.

Jiang Chuan followed Wei Yan to the Wei family's military operations office, unable to bear to sigh.

Generally speaking, the military command was controlled by the Emperor. This was because the military power was the foundation of a nation's military power, but here, the Wei family could have their own military power! One had to say, Lord Chu trusted the Wei family greatly!

"Hehe, Brother Jiang Chuan, this military command center is unique to our Wei family. In order to avoid trouble, Lord Chu set up a place like this in the Wei family, and after every war, we have to modify the military's weapons to achieve the best effect in killing and injuring." Wei Yan laughed as he spoke, but he was also incomparably proud. In the entire Chu Country, only the Wei family had a military power.

Wei Yan had called over a craftsman who was holding an arrow in his hand. This arrow was made for the Wei family's archers, and had extraordinary killing power.

The feathers of the arrows were much longer than they usually were. The arrowheads of the arrows were also made of darksteel, and the materials were extremely particular. On the arrowheads, there were even rows of barbs! These barbs were to prevent the enemy from easily pulling the arrows out!

However, this arrow was somewhat unsuitable for Jiang Chuan. If the Wu Dynasty tried this arrow out, it would hurt their friendliness.

As a result, under Jiang Chuan's suggestion, the arrows would be shortened by a bit and the barbs on the tip of the arrows would be removed. However, the power would have to be increased a bit.

Under Wei Yan's command, the craftsman had spent the entire night creating dozens of arrows for the river. These arrows were more than enough for the river to use for a period of time.

"I do have a weapon, but I'm still lacking something." Wei Yan muttered.

"Brother Jiang Chuan, although your archery skills are outstanding, you can also learn some fighting techniques. With your strength, perhaps you can contend against cultivators."

When Jiang Chuan heard this, he was overjoyed. If he could learn one and a half moves, it would also be useful.

At the Wei family's military operations, there was an old man. He had no cultivation, just like a river. Although his dantian was unusable, his condition was slightly better than a river.

This person had an extremely high prestige in the Wei family, not just because of his age, but because this old man had no cultivation, and yet he could fight a hundred rounds against a cultivator of the Fasting Sea! Ordinary people would not even dare to think about such things, yet this old man had done it!

In the courtyard of the War Office, the old man was exercising his body while Wei Yan and Jiang Chuan arrived.

This old man was already over a hundred and fifty years old, but his body was incomparably healthy. He was a lot stronger than the average young man over a hundred years old.

"Brother Jiang Chuan, you have to study every move and every move of his. We will call this old man's moves Martial Arts!" Wei Yan said.

"Elder Qi!" "Come, let me introduce you to someone, you'll definitely be interested," Wei Yan said to the old man.

When the old man saw Jiang Chuan, his eyes lit up because Jiang Chuan's body was quite sturdy and he seemed to have some skills.

"A good set of muscles and bones!" the old man praised.

"Elder Qi, he's called Jiang Chuan. He was called here to let you teach him a few moves so he can deal with the Martial Arts Examination in two months!" Wei Yan said.

"Greetings, Elder Wei." Jiang Chuan cupped his fist and greeted him.

"Haha, let him stay here. I want to see if he has any bones. Talented people who have some attainments in the past ten years should be able to teach him a few killing moves. He should be able to handle them." The old man laughed.

In this way, Jiang Chuan would stay in the Wei family's military intelligence department to practice martial arts with elder Qi and face the Martial Arts Examination in two months!
