"What do you mean no?"

Jiang Chen looked at Huang Yaoshi with a smile.

"You absolutely cannot make the Wu Mu Legacy Book public!"

Huang Yaoshi could no longer sit still; if Jiang Chen made the Wu Mu Legacy Book public, it wouldn't be long before everyone in the world knew about it.

By that time, even if Xiangyang City obtained the Wu Mu Legacy Book, it would be useless.

"Jiang Chen, as a disciple of Snow Moon City, I believe you should know that a military book like the Wu Mu Legacy Book, if it falls into the hands of someone with ambition, its impact is absolutely incomparable to a martial arts secret, even if that martial arts secret is the Nine Yin True Sutra!"

At this moment,

Huang Yaoshi no longer addressed Jiang Chen as "kid."

"That's right, this Wu Mu Legacy Book must never be made public."

Reminded by Huang Yaoshi, the clever Huang Rong immediately understood the key point and also revealed a nervous expression.

Jiang Chen looked at Huang Rong with a smile: "Alright, since Rong'er says not to make it public, then I won't."

He naturally knew the importance of the Wu Mu Legacy Book.

If the Nine Yin True Sutra were spread, it would at most cause turmoil in the Jianghu, but if it were the Wu Mu Legacy Book, that might not be the case.

And hearing Jiang Chen's words, Huang Yaoshi also breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second,

Jiang Chen's voice rang out again.

"Since Senior values the Wu Mu Legacy Book so much, I wonder how Senior thinks this Wu Mu Legacy Book should be handled."

Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "To be honest, I have also flipped through this Wu Mu Legacy Book; it is indeed worthy of being called a military classic. If it were just left here like this, it would be a real pity."

Let's see how long you can hold out!

Huang Yaoshi looked at Jiang Chen with suspicion.

At this moment,

he really suspected that Jiang Chen might truly know he was looking for the Wu Mu Legacy Book.

Just that,

looking at Jiang Chen's annoying smile, Huang Yaoshi decided to endure it a little longer.

"Since the book is in your hands, how to handle it is naturally up to you. Even if you give it to someone else, I have no objection, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of bad people."

"That's true."

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth: "To be honest with Senior, I just visited the Great Song Dynasty some time ago and heard some things about the Great Song Dynasty. I heard that the Great Song Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, especially Xiangyang City, where the situation is now extremely severe and it could be breached by the Mongol Yuan Kingdom's army at any time."

Huang Yaoshi revealed a look of surprise: "You have actually heard of Xiangyang City?"

"I heard about it by chance."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "I also heard that in this Xiangyang City, if it weren't for a group of righteous people led by Guo Jing helping to resist foreign enemies, Xiangyang City would have likely fallen long ago."

"I didn't expect you, kid, to be so knowledgeable about Xiangyang City, even knowing about Guo Jing."

Speaking of Xiangyang City,

Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but reveal a look of helplessness on his face.

He greatly admired Guo Jing; although Guo Jing's strength was far inferior to his own, he admired the spirit of a great hero who serves the country and the people that the other party possessed.

If the other party hadn't already been betrothed, he would even have wanted to introduce Huang Rong to him.

However,

why did this kid bring up Xiangyang City out of the blue?

"To be honest, I also admire a person like Guo Jing very much, and I originally intended to lend this Wu Mu Legacy Book to Xiangyang City, but Senior's words just now reminded me."

"I haven't seen Guo Jing's character with my own eyes, so just in case, I think it's better to keep the Wu Mu Legacy Book in my own hands."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Besides, the Great Song is a dynasty after all, and Xiangyang City is an extremely important city of the Great Song; how could it be shaken by forces like the Mongol Yuan Kingdom? So the news I heard is likely inaccurate."

"Young Brother makes sense!"

Huang Rong, who was on the side, nodded in agreement upon hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Huang Yaoshi turned to look at Huang Rong: "Young Brother?!"

Huang Rong was stunned,

then blushed slightly.

Previously, worried that Huang Yaoshi would be angry, she had always addressed Jiang Chen as "Young Master," but who would have thought that while listening to the two discuss Xiangyang City, she would subconsciously call Jiang Chen "Young Brother" again.

Seeing Huang Yaoshi's expression about to change again,

Huang Rong immediately walked to Huang Yaoshi's side, hugged his arm, and acted coquettishly: "Father, you often travel in the Jianghu, so you must have heard about Xiangyang City, right? Tell me, is what Young Brother just said about Xiangyang City true?"

Huang Yaoshi glanced at Jiang Chen and said dully: "It is true."

"Then did you go to help, Father?"

Huang Yaoshi: "Of course I did, but facing an army of hundreds of thousands, even I have no way."

Watching Huang Yaoshi look at Jiang Chen every time he spoke, Huang Rong's dark eyes began to turn.

Immediately after,

she asked with a grin: "Father, you don't want this Wu Mu Legacy Book, do you?"

How could Huang Yaoshi admit it? He shook his head directly: "What would a Jianghu person like me want with a military book?!"

"Forget it if you don't want it."

Huang Rong smiled coquettishly: "I was thinking that if you wanted it, Father, I would ask Young Brother to copy a book for you to take back. But you're right, Father, you have no use for this military book; you don't lead troops in battle anyway."

Huang Yaoshi: "..."

Having been with Jiang Chen for a while, and thinking back to Jiang Chen mentioning Xiangyang City without warning just now,

Huang Rong guessed Jiang Chen's intentions after just a little thought.
