Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Rumors on the Street

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the commander section, it wrote the words Xiong Kui. Zong Shou’s eyes lit up when he saw it, suddenly feeling interested.

This matter couldn’t be considered an army of country matter, it couldn’t even be considered something of essence.

A middle layer official was reporting a small matter.

“...8 heard that Shili Ling Xiangding is getting more and more prosperous, tax income increase. Gathering many disciples of many sects who are fighting, drinking and using prostitutes in the night, many fighting and innocent harming accidents are occurring. In my eyes, we should control it. If we can add a safety tax to the 300 brothels our city can add in a town of troops.”

Fighting, drinking and using prostitutes? Brothel? So this Gantian Mountain City has a red light district? Hehe, 300 brothels, that scale is not bad.

The ancient brothels interested him and he wanted to take a look.

Zong Shou made a hand signal to Chuxue. Xue’er looked for a moment and her eyes gave a lost expression, “Young master what are you saying? Xue’er can’t understand.”

Zong Shou couldn’t help but roll his eyes, this brat was acting blur with him. His brows furrowing as he causally took a beast leather and wrote: “where is Shili Ling Xiangding”?

When Chuxue saw that she pouted and grumbled, “Young master, Xue’er is a girl, how will I know where Shili Ling Xiangding?”

Zong Shou thought about it, this Xue’er was most probably opening her eyes wide and lying. However, it was indeed inappropriate to ask her that.

He used an asking expression as he looked at Ruoshui. However, he only saw her laugh, unwilling to answer what he asked.

Zong Shou sighed writing a few words quickly on the beast leather, “Let’s go on a private visit to observe people life” before he stood up and walked towards the door. Ruoshui didn’t know why and Chuxue didn’t know, but those Guards outside all knew.

Chuxue was anxious as she rushed forward, opening up her arms like an old hen to stop Zong Shou, “Young master you can’t! Grandfather said that tomorrow is your first court assembly. You must deal with all your documents. You will have a lot of chance to stroll Gantian Mountain City. Isn’t it just that Shili Ling Xiangding? Xue’er will accompany you there in the future.”

Zong Shou smiled when he heard that, walking back on his own. Just as Chuxue thought he had changed his mind, Zong Shou directly flipped the table and then waltzed by her side.

He thought that he was foolish to think to calm himself down to deal with all these complicated documents. The reason he even came back for the Monster king position was just to complete the final wishes of the other Zong Shou.

2 days ago, he had already completed that wish. His heart feeling at ease and relaxed. He had also gained a lot of benefits, spiritual cultivation and martial arts having big improvements.

Now it was not bad that he wasn’t planning to wash his hands off everything. Was he prepared to be a ruler and deal with administrative matters every day?

His life wish was to study martial path, and his 1st goal was to complete the hundred path sword technique and create his true one energy sword.

As for Gantian Mountain City, he had a conscience. Dealing with it when he was free such that he didn’t let himself down.

However, before he focused on the martial path, witnessing that so-called Shili Ling Xiangding and the 300 brothels to relax was much needed.

That’s not right! He was understanding people’s life. Working in the palace, how could he understand their pain and suffering? Zong Shou was simply a genius.

Since it was a private visit, he couldn’t wear extravagant attire. He changed into a green cloth clothing before walking out of this palace known as the Hanyan Palace. Behind him, there were tens of palace Guards. A full 40 xiantian experts and 4 marital ancestors who were all dressed in heavy armor and giving off a majestic aura.

However, Zong Shou despised them for being an eyesore and made them disperse. Just like that, he brought a growing Chuxue as well as Ruoshui who was like invisible to walk down Gantian mountain.

After a short 2 days, this Gantian Mountain City was more stable. It was night time and the streets were filled with people. Be it the alleys or the streets, they were all bustling.

Zong Shou walked over, looking over with curiosity. The primitive ancient spirit atmosphere would be filled with guests in the future.

Then, he felt indifferent and frowned slightly. People in this era didn’t like to bathe, especially common people. The smell they gave out was thick. Unlike his Xue’er and Ruoshui who were extremely fragrant.

Next would be the lack of a water system, rubbish was thrown everywhere and it was extremely dirty. Some places gave off a huge stench.

Zong Shou used true qi to fill up his nose to purify it, only then did he feel slightly better.

Then, numerous sounds drilled into his ears. Zong Shou initially didn’t mind but he could hear them say City lord, ruler, prince, Zong Shou. Only then did he realize that the people, be it the old aunties and uncles or the young and excited teens they were all discussing the coup 2 days ago. Zong Shou’s brows furrowed, acting like it didn’t concern him as he stepped in front of a shop and started to pick items. His 2 ears were like that of a rabbit as he listened to the surroundings.

“...I heard that night a few thousand heads were cut off, how tragic. Is the ruler so vicious? I also heard that inside there were a thousand of his race.”

“Lady, did you see? What do you know? Things relating to the fight for the throne are naturally like that. Anything like that, the kid will even kill the Father, the father would kill the kid. What are a few thousand heads? Those people rebelled and deserved it. They can’t blame the ruler!”

“I also heard that those who died with from the direct line of the sky fox family. Those people are always arrogant in the city and deserve it. Thankfully! The ex ruler’s hard work didn’t fall into the hands of others.”

“The last ruler was a good man, a good ruler. The ruler is his Son and his ability to rule shouldn’t be bad. To inherit the position he is blessed by the heavens. I heard people say that Zong Shi was not bad but they can’t be trusted. Now it’s great, he finally died. Without these idiots creating waves, our Gantian mountain city will be able to calm down. In my eyes, with my ruler’s methods, it could cause Gantian Mountain City to be more prosperous and advanced.”

Zong Shou’s lips were originally raising as he smiled but when he heard them say he would be good at ruling as well as cause Gantian Mountain to become prosperous, his face flushed red.

He was originally planning to stay here for a while before leaving.

“But didn’t I hear that the ruler didn’t know cultivation when he was the prince?”

“Tsk! Who said that? The ruler killed Zong Shi himself. I also heard all the Xuanwu ancestors that person invited died in his hands. Only then did the situation on the altar get settled. In the past, he just hid deeply. As expected, the moment he showed his skills, he shocked the world. What was this called, oh right! Acting like a pig when you are a tiger! How would the prince be so arrogant and brag like that Zong Shi! This is how aristocratic families should act. What top talent in Donglin? Is he worth it? Compared to the ruler, he is just trash.”

“Not only that, did you hear that the ruler made his race, called the Gantian Zong family. In the past, that sky fox Zong family is only left with a few. I heard that Zong Zhen opposed the ruler. Although Uncle Zong was the peak of the return to sun realm, half a foot into the day wandering realm, he couldn’t do anything to the prince.”

“In my eyes, the ruler is the best because of his strategy. Without even fighting he relied on just tens of thousands of east city troops to suppress the wind bear and eye wolf races. Ling Fakong was also removed from his position. If it wasn’t for Zong Shi betraying the prince and colluding with the enemy to assassinate him, we won’t know that the ruler is such a talented expert.”

The more Zong Shou heard the more delighted he got, thinking that the people in Gantian City were good, knowing what was right and wrong. Zong Weiran was amazing, ruling for just 10 years and being able to get them to be so loyal.

After that, there wasn’t much worth listening. Zong Shou causally bought a few exquisitely carved jade hairpins, one he stuck in Chuxue’s hair, the other he gave Ruoshui, and the last he placed in his sleeves. Making the 2 of them happy.

Then, just as he was about to turn around, his face froze, turning green and white.

Only to hear a person exclaim, “Yi? So you only heard about all this. The ruler isn’t simple, did you hear about that few grade 6 beasts that died in Luofang City a few years ago? People said that it was the old ruler who did it but I heard that it was the ruler who did so. A few years ago, the ruler could kill grade 6 beasts.”

“You also heard about this matter? It seems like it’s most probably true. However, my news is not only that. 3 years ago there were Ying serpents in the evil spirit moat, the prince was the one who forced that evil demon away. When the prince was 10 he beat many experts in Gantian mountain and never had an opponent. The ruler was worried he was too bright which was why he sent him to Linhai college to train his heart.”

“Also I heard that on Gantian mountain peak not only did a few Xuanwu ancestors die. There was also an ascended ancestor that died to the ruler’s sword.”

Zong Shou’s lips twitched, why did the words get more and more far fetched.

At the start, he felt that it was rumored getting twisted. These words seemed true with everything linking up but there were many false areas like someone was purposely planning it.

And these people were certain about his experiences in the past.
