220: Liangzhou Trial Ground

Feng Ming basically knew about what happened afterward.

His mother and father chose to stay behind to cover the escape of the rest of the Feng Family.

They were injured while fleeing, which caused Feng Ming, who was still in his mother's womb, to be left with a congenital illness.

His mother passed away after giving birth to him, and Feng Ming spent sixteen years in a wheelchair.

Fortunately, Feng Ming's grandfather had a good relationship with the head of the Jiang Family, and with their help, they were able to hide in Liang Province.

Speaking of these things again, Feng Muyang could not stop his tears from flowing.

A moment later, he took a deep breath and said: "Your mother's maiden Family, the Qin clan, was implicated in this matter and went into hiding!"

"Later, when Madam Hua rose to prominence and her Merchant Guild spread everywhere, we were finally able to reconnect with your mother's maiden Family. Your grandmother gave Madam Hua a lot of help when she was starting her business, so after the Hua Family rose to power, they protected the safety of the Qin Family."

"Nowadays, the Qin Family can be considered a medium-sized Family. With the Hua Family protecting them, they don't have to fear retaliation from the Xu Family."

"I even received news from the Qin Family last month. Old Madam Qin misses you very much. If there is an opportunity during this Trial, you should go back and visit your grandmother."

Feng Ming nodded. He did not expect that he still had a grandmother, and that this grandmother was related to Madam Hua.

"That is how things are. There are some things I don't need to say, and I believe you understand. Once the Feng Family was destroyed, the Xu Family took their place. It is hard to say that this matter has no connection to the ruler of Qian Prefecture."

After all, once the Feng Family was destroyed, Qi Hao proposed to King Haoyue that the Xu Family should serve as acting prefect. However, Feng Ming's focus was not on this, but on why King Haoyue would agree.

He immediately asked about this doubt.

Feng Muyang immediately gave a bitter smile: "To be honest, I never thought about this question before, but after witnessing your struggle with the Huangfu Family and drawing out Huangfu Mo, we gradually understood."

"The destruction of the Feng Family back then was something many people were willing to see, even King Haoyue."

Feng Ming nodded; this was also what he wanted to say: "The Medicinal Pill business is the lifeblood of the Bright Moon Dynasty. He does not allow others to touch it. Small-scale operations are fine, but it cannot become too big."

The Feng Family started with Medicinal Pills and grew to become the second largest Family in Qian Prefecture, which naturally touched King Haoyue's reverse scale.

"To put it bluntly, Qi Hao was just relieving worries for King Haoyue, which is why he chose to unite with the Xu Family to destroy our Feng Family."

"In other words, it was not the Qi Family or the Xu Family that wanted to destroy our Feng Family back then, but King Haoyue."

Feng Muyang shuddered, and Jiang Shuwan, who was on the side, couldn't help but gasp.

Feng Ming had reminded them of this matter before: the Bright Moon Dynasty was very wary of others dabbling in the Medicinal Pill business.

But he didn't expect that the destruction of the Feng Family back then was actually because of Medicinal Pills. Perhaps the Family head at that time thought their Medicinal Pill business was not enough to be mentioned in the same breath as the Bright Moon Dynasty.

But the truth is, others will not wait until you are truly a threat to them before they act against you; they will act as soon as they feel you are a threat.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on others; one can only say that the Feng Family's head at the time did not have enough foresight.

"Minger, then we..."

Having figured out the reason for their destruction, Feng Muyang immediately became worried.

Feng Ming smiled and comforted him: "Father, rest assured, I will not let the Feng Family reach that point."

Although Feng Ming was not a businessman, he had been influenced by things like five-year plans, hundred-year development strategies, and so on.

How could someone who was best at setting plans and development not have considered these things?

Now, he had thought of the situations that King Haoyue could think of, and he had also thought of the situations that he hadn't.

Seeing that Feng Ming had a confident expression, Feng Muyang didn't say anything more.

"Minger, no matter what happens in the future, you must live well."

...

Leaving Feng Muyang's room, Feng Ming didn't say a word.

Jiang Shuwan followed him obediently, but Feng Ming understood that Jiang Shuwan not saying anything was her attitude.

That is, no matter when or where, wherever he goes, she goes.

...

Early the next morning.

The entire Qingyang City became lively.

Although there were only ten people going to the Liangzhou Trial, this was a major event for Qingyang City.

When the Feng Ming Family arrived at the city gate to meet with everyone, they saw the Sect Master and the City Lord standing side by side.

In addition, there were many commoners who came to watch and see them off.

Huangfu Yunyan, along with her Maid and Huangfu Rui, huddled in the carriage. Seeing Feng Ming bringing Feng Da, Chun Tao, and three or four other Maidservants, she looked very displeased.

"Why can Feng Ming bring so many people?"

Elder Xu chuckled: "Displeased? He has more spots. You only have one spot, so bringing two people is just right."

"Feng Ming has three spots, so there is no problem at all with bringing six people."

"You!"

Huangfu Rui was so angry that he shrank back into the carriage, too lazy to continue speaking.

Huangfu Yunyan said irritably: "What, do you still think you are the Eldest Young Master of the Huangfu Family?"

"I advise you, if you have free time, you should think about how to connect with the Jiang Family. Although this Expedition Banquet is big, if we want to topple Feng Ming and the Feng Family, we need to make sure everyone's attention is on us. Do you have any ideas on who you want to find?"

Huangfu Rui said impatiently: "Why are you rushing me? Aren't I thinking about it right now!"

At this moment, Lu Zhenfeng's voice came from outside: "Time is tight, so I won't say much more. I hope everyone will strive bravely to fight for a bright future for yourselves and for Qingyang City."

"Everyone, let's set off!"

The Sect Master waved his hand, signaling everyone to set off.

Elder Xu and Elder Pan immediately stopped wasting words and led the team to set off directly.

Before leaving, Lu Zhenfeng found Feng Ming: "I won't say much else, help me take good care of Lu An'an and Lu Qianqian. Please."

Feng Ming nodded. Even without Lu Zhenfeng's words, he would have done so. Lu Qianqian was not only Lu An'an's younger sister, but also his wife recognized by the System, so naturally, he had no reason to sit idly by.

Lu Zhenfeng smiled and waved his hand: "Go! I will wait for news of you making a name for yourself in Liang Province!"

Feng Ming also smiled, then immediately chased after the main force.

...

In the carriage, Lu Qianqian was very familiar with Jiang Shuwan and Feng Mian, so they naturally sat in the same carriage, chatting idly at this moment.

Feng Ming rode his horse alongside. It wasn't that there wasn't enough room in the carriage, but that he wanted to experience the feeling of riding a horse.

In his past life, he was used to being a workhorse and never had time to experience the feeling of galloping on horseback.

In this life, having arrived in the world of cultivation, he naturally had to experience what it meant to gallop on horseback and live freely with vengeance and gratitude.

It must be said, this feeling of riding a horse is truly different.

To let him hear their conversation, Jiang Shuwan thoughtfully tied up the carriage curtain.

As they chatted, the topic shifted to herbs above the seventh grade.

Jiang Shuwan asked: "Sister Qianqian, do you think we have a chance to obtain the seventh-grade herbs inside the Liangzhou Trial grounds?"

Lu Qianqian smiled bitterly: "Sister Shuwan, the probability of us obtaining them is not high."

"Why?"
