Shen Wansan began his explanation upon hearing the words.

Shen Wansan’s business was vast, covering almost the entire country, engaging in various industries.

However, his main operations were still in the South, as compared to the North, the societal environment was more stable and conducive to commerce.

As for the northern lands, according to Shen Wansan’s description, it was truly engulfed in war smoke.

The capital of the Daqian Kingdom was in the North, called the Great Capital by the Song, and known as Beijing in later generations.

Starting from the Daqian Capital, this war smoke swept across Shanxi, Henan, Northern Anhui, and Shandong, directly threatening Hebei; if the flames of war reached Hebei’s borders, the Great Capital wouldn’t be far.

Fortunately, the Daqian Court’s military forces in the North were strong, repelling the fires from beyond Hebei.

Additionally, orders were given to vassal kings across regions to counterattack and strive to recapture lost territories.

Therefore, the North was almost a seesaw battle, with the Zoroastrian Sect’s uprising being fervent, it was rumored that even the Sect Hierarch, Unmoving Ming King Han Shantong personally arrived at the frontline, greatly defeating the court army.

Meanwhile, the court also dispatched a large number of troops, it was rumored that even the Wolf King of the Gray Wolf Army, one of the court’s three main corps, personally arrived at the frontline.

This Gray Wolf King was also ranked among the top ten on the Heavenly List, placed fourth, known as the Lord of the Gray Wolves.

Moreover, it was rumored that even the Basiba Living Buddha was alarmed, and was also closely observing the northern war!

Chen Jie listened to Shen Wansan’s narration and could already feel the northern warfare’s ferocity, even the Sect Hierarch had personally commanded the battle on the frontline.

Shen Wansan continued: ”The South compared to the North is much better.”

Speaking of which, Shen Wansan described: Currently, the South is mainly divided into three parts: Southwest, Central South, and the Southeast coast.

The Southwest is the domain of King Qi, King Qi Li Siqi, who rose from military successes, occupying Shanxi and Gansu, currently eyeing Hubei Road.

The Central South belongs to the Ruyang Royal Mansion.

Prince Yang commands the southern White Deer Army, also one of the court’s three main corps. Prince Yang himself is a master, although ranked at the tail of the Heavenly List, still one of the few top masters in the world.

Occupying Hunan, Guizhou, and Jiangxi regions.

Currently also extending into Hubei, with the Zoroastrian Sect watching like a tiger, ready to move south at any moment, and also the Maitreya Sect of Peng Yingyu adding color to the mix. It can be said the South is more like a big cauldron.

This is the land of Central South, then there’s the Southeast coast.

The largest force on the Southeast coast currently is the Divine Dragon Sect, stationed over the sea.

The Sect Hierarch used to be the leader of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Zoroastrian Sect, the Sea Dragon, Fang Guozhen.

The Zoroastrian Sect’s Four Great Dharma Kings: the Sea Dragon Fang Guozhen, Mountain Descending Tiger Du Zundao, Mr. Duozhi Huguan, and Undying Bird Han Miaozhen.

Among them, the strongest is the Sea Dragon Fang Guozhen, who is also a friend of Peng Yingyu. When Peng Yingyu had political disagreements with Han Shantong back then and left the Zoroastrian Sect.

Fang Guozhen followed Peng Yingyu to leave the Zoroastrian Sect and established his own sect, occupying islands along the Southeast coast, declaring himself king and dominating, specializing in raiding court official ships. The court dispatched several attacks, but to no avail, he remained as he liked.

Indeed an East Sea scourge, but his relationship with Shen Wansan was quite good, Shen Wansan was one of their suppliers, thus Shen Wansan also knew some things about Fang Guozhen.

This is the current situation of the North and South, it can be said it has reached an imminent collapse.

If a fire ignites there, then a terrifying war could break out within the Daqian Kingdom, sparing no one involved.

Thinking this, Chen Jie began to chat about whether there were any young heroes among the current younger generation.

Listening to these words, Shen Wansan thought for a moment: ”There are quite a few young heroic figures.”

Shen Wansan thought for a while and mentioned a few, for instance, Sichuan Tang Sect had a young hero named Ming Yuzhen, and Kunlun Sect’s Lu Zhen, the third generation inheritor of Wudang Song Qingshu, the new disciple of Emei Sect...

Chen Jie listened around and there was only one name he was quite familiar with, that was Wudang’s Song Qingshu, and also that Ming Yuzhen he seemed to have heard of, possibly a warlord during the Ming dynasty later.

Chen Jie asked: ”Are there no young heroes within Anhui province?”

Shen Wansan paused: ”Anhui, Haozhou, I’ve definitely heard of someone called the Peerless Guo Tianxu.”

”Guo Tianxu?”

Chen Jie listened to this name and was speechless for a while; he knew this person, Zhu Yuanzhang’s rival in love, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang’s foster father Guo Zixing, who later repeatedly concocted schemes against Zhu Yuanzhang.

”There was also a heroine who appeared on the rouge list, named Ma Xiuying.”

Shen Wansan mentioned another name, Chen Jie nodded, feeling more familiar with Ma Xiuying, famously known as Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang’s first wife!

Shen Wansan said: ”By the way, almost forgot, Ma Xiuying recently got married, seems she married someone of beggar origins named Zhu, Zhu...”

”Zhu Chongba.”

”Yes, yes, Zhu Chongba, he was reputed to be simple and honest, Guo Zixing took care of Ma Xiuying as if she were his sibling and later arranged a son-in-law for retirement, which was Zhu Chongba.”

”Could Brother Chen have named him because he knows the person?”

”I don’t know him, only heard a little.”

Chen Jie looked at Shen Wansan and said, Shen Wansan replied: ”This person lacked fame, only after marrying Ma Xiuying was he known, never expected Brother Chen to be so well-informed.”

Chen Jie had nothing to say upon hearing this and continued: ”What about the Southeast?”

Shen Wansan said: ”There’s nothing in the Southeast, as for promising young people; perhaps only the head of the Salt Guild, Zhang Jiusi, stands out.”

”There hasn’t been any talk of young talents otherwise.”

Shen Wansan mentioned this, Chen Jie listened and thought of Zhang Jiusi, head of the Salt Guild, indeed good people cannot stay hidden.
