Protect Our Patriarch Chapter 87: The trend! The weapon spirit “came alive”

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of protecting our clan leader!

……

Spring comes and winter goes, time flies and years fly by.

The spring of the 3184th year of the Changli reign of Emperor Qianlong.

Qing'an County.

The Qing'an Basin has thousands of miles of fertile fields and is surrounded by green water. It is a famous "land of plenty" in Daqian. Correspondingly, the catering industry here is naturally extremely developed.

Outside the city of Qing'an County, there is a manor called "Qingyaju".

This gourmet manor occupies an extremely vast area, and it integrates food and accommodation. It is very unique and is well-known throughout Qing'an County, and even diners from other counties often come here.

Many Xuanwu monks from other counties come to Qing'an County to travel. If they want to experience the delicious food of Qing'an County, Qingyaju is a must-visit place.

This is evident from its great reputation.

However, this Qingyaju is not the property of the Zuoqiu family, the first family in Qing'an County, but the property of the royal family member, King Cheng.

Although this may be an insignificant small property to Prince Cheng, it is precisely because it is backed by Prince Cheng’s Mansion that Qingyaju is able to gain a foothold in Qing’an County and compete with several other gourmet estates.

This day.

Xu Qingbo, the shopkeeper of Qingyaju, was sitting behind the counter at the door, calculating accounts one by one. Suddenly, a crisp cry came from the sky.

He looked up and saw a flying chariot pulled by a giant white bird coming from a distance.

The giant bird pulling the cart is all white, its color is as clear as the first snow, its body is even more elegant, its aura is very distinctive, and it is very recognizable.

"Jade-clawed egret?" Xu Qingbo was surprised, "A person from the Zuoqiu family?"

The Jade-clawed Egret is a fourth-level spiritual bird, and it is also a unique species of spiritual bird in Qing'an County. In Qing'an County, only the Zuoqiu family has the financial resources to raise jade-clawed egrets to drive flying chariots.

While he was talking, the flying chariot had already circled and landed in the square at the entrance of the manor.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage door of the flying chariot was opened, and two middle-aged men wearing jade crowns and brocade clothes walked out one after another.

One of the two middle-aged men looks older, and has a lot of fine lines at the corners of his eyes, clearly showing a bit of age. The other looks much younger, but looks like the older one. They have some similarities and are obviously related by blood.

The two of them did not deliberately release their power, but they walked calmly and gracefully. They were obviously not weak.

Xu Qingbo recognized the person, quickly put down his abacus, and walked a few steps to greet him: "Two ancestors, what kind of wind is it that has brought you two here?"

It turned out that these two people who came were actually the first and third ancestors of Zuoqiu clan in Qing'an. Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua were both powerful men in the Zifu realm.

As the shopkeeper of Qingyaju, he usually has to deal with all kinds of big shots. Naturally, he knew all of the top strong men in Qing'an County.

"We are here to meet guests." Seeing that Zuoqiu Deye had no intention of speaking, Zuoqiu Zhenghua waved his hand to him, "You can go and do your own business~ Don't worry about us. In addition, I will give you the best wine and food here. Go to Qingzhuyuan, and the money will be recorded in my Zuoqiu family's account. Go~"

After that, the two of them walked towards the manor and soon entered the depths of the manor.

Xu Qingbo naturally saluted and praised without mentioning it.

At the same time, Zuoqiu Zhenghua still didn't understand what happened today.

"Grandpa Zeng, after all, you are also the first ancestor of our Zuoqiu family in Qing'an, and your status is respected. Do you need to be so cautious? Is this person here a real person with supernatural powers?" Seeing no one around, He sent a message to his great-grandfather.

"What do you know?" Zuoqiu Deye glanced at him and said in the same voice, "Although the person who came today is not the Shentong Master, he is the great talent of Lingyun Holy Land and will become the Shentong Master sooner or later in the future. Luck Well, maybe it’s possible to take charge of the Holy Land and become one of the two most powerful people in Daqian.”

"Hiss~"

When he heard this, Zuoqiu Zhenghua was immediately in awe.

Both are in the Purple Mansion Realm, and the Great Prodigy not only represents stronger combat power, but also represents greater potential, not to mention that behind this Great Prodigy is a behemoth like Lingyun Holy Land, and his status is naturally not the same as ordinary purples like them. The state of the mansion is different.

He asked carefully: "I have vaguely heard of the reputations of those great geniuses in the Holy Land. I wonder if this one is one of them..."

"His surname is Gongyang, his single name is the word 'Ce', and his title is 'Xuanmiao'. You can call him 'Master Xuanmiao' or 'Mr. Ce'." Zuoqiu Deye explained, "We will meet him later. , remember to be respectful, we would rather keep our attitude lower, but we are determined not to offend this person."

"Grandpa Zeng, don't worry, Zhenghua knows the importance."

While talking, Qingzhuyuan has arrived.

Using the door sticker they had obtained in advance to clear the restriction, the two of them pushed open the courtyard door and entered. At a glance, they saw the three people in the pavilion in the courtyard.

The three people sat and stood two at a time. Standing on the left and right were two women. Their faces were solemn and their eyes were closed, looking extremely respectful and submissive. Sitting in the middle is a young man in white.

He is tall and tall, has a face like a crown jewel, and has an elegant temperament. Just looking at his appearance, there is nothing wrong with him.

His temperament is also far more outstanding than the two women standing on his left and right. It is a kind of calmness that comes from the bones, a confidence and indifference built up from countless successes, as if nothing in this world can be difficult for him.

With such temperament and style, the identity of the young man in white is already obvious.

"Master Ce."

Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua immediately stepped forward and saluted politely.

"You two are welcome~"

The young man in white did not put on any airs, he stood up and returned the greeting, and then let the two of them into the pavilion.

This young man in white is naturally the great genius of the Holy Land whom Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua talked about before, Master Xuanmiao, Gongyang Ce.

After some polite greetings, both parties took their seats.

Soon, the attendants in the manor brought all kinds of fresh delicacies and mellow wine, and then quietly retreated again.

With good wine and delicious food as matchmakers, after a few words, the two strangers naturally became familiar with each other.

Then it was time to get down to business.

Gongyang Ce winked at a woman in a white dress next to him, and then said to the two ancestors of the Zuoqiu family: "You may not know the person next to me. But her name, you You should have heard of it."

The woman in the white dress took a step forward knowingly, bowed respectfully to the two ancestors of the Zuoqiu clan, and introduced herself: "Two ancestors, I am Cao Youqing of Lingyun Holy Land."

It turns out that this woman in the white dress is the Holy Land genius, Cao Youqing, who was once "taken the blame" and was sent to the "Land of Thunder Punishment" for seclusion by the young master in white.

More than ten years of seclusion has obviously had a huge impact on her in all aspects.

Now, not only has her strength improved to a higher level than before, reaching the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, her aura has also become more calm and restrained. After another few decades of polishing, it is very possible to reach the peak and start preparing to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

At the same time, the arrogance and indifference in her body also dissipated a lot, and she seemed to be much more steady and steady.

"Is it you?"

Zuoqiu Zhenghua raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

The Zuoqiu Qingyun incident caused a huge uproar, and the Zuoqiu family lost a lot of face because of it. Until now, when members of the Zuoqiu clan go to other counties and cities to do business, they often encounter strange looks from other aristocratic families.

Even though Zuoqiu Qingyun and he are not of the same lineage, he really doesn't have a good impression of Cao Youqing.

Zuoqiu Deye thought even deeper.

He looked at Gongyang Ce, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes: "Master Ce, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you want to mediate between the Zuoqiu family and the Cao family?"

Although there are few examples of the Academy stepping in to mediate disputes between aristocratic families, there are still some.

"You two have misunderstood." Gongyang Ce picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said lightly, "I'm not here to mediate, but to clear up the misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding?

Zuoqiu Zhenghua glanced at his grandfather Zeng and said hesitantly: "Young Master means..."

"What happened back then was not actually done by Youqing." Gongyang Ce explained calmly, "I know that Youqing's whereabouts were unknown at that time, and it is indeed difficult to prove his innocence. Over the years, I have had people investigate in detail what happened at that time. situation, and found that the truth may not be what the two families thought. Xiaoyue."

"Yes, Master."

Xiaoyue, who was standing on the other side of Gong Yangce, agreed, then walked out slowly and handed a stack of investigation materials to Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua.

"After our investigation, it was found that Zuoqiu Qingyun was intercepted and killed that day. No one could clearly see the face of the shooter. It was only based on a silk handkerchief left at the scene and the shooter had leaked a trace of thunder. The identity of the judge. There are many doubts about this matter."

"In addition, the appearance of the juniors present that day was too coincidental. After in-depth investigation, we confirmed that the reason why they appeared in Pingyunxuan was because of the Monan Wang family's junior prodigy, the royal family. The royal family's sea After learning that Zuoqiu Qingyun used coercion to force Fairy Tianyan to have a private meeting with her, she just instigated..."

"We conducted an in-depth investigation on this matter. After many twists and turns, we learned from a rough servant of the Monan Wang family that Wang Guanghai had gone to the guest house that day and met his fourth grandfather, Changning, who was of the same clan and different clan. Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Wang family."

"It was after seeing Wang Shouzhe that Wang Wangshou walked out the door with an angry look on his face... According to our estimation, Wang Wangshou probably learned the news from Wang Shouzhe."

"Not long before this, Fairy Tianyan went to Monan Wang Family to visit Wang Shouzhe."

You may not be able to tell much about these things individually, but when linked together, they are very good.

Xiaoyue explained every piece of information that was investigated to Zuoqiu and his wife in detail, giving evidence and confessions one by one. The entire logical chain was very complete, well-founded and convincing.

Although there is no clear evidence to prove that this matter is related to Wang Shouzhe, it is known that Wang Shouzhe arrived in Monan with Qian Xuehan, the head of the Longzuo Qian family, and Cao Youqing had previously assassinated Qian Xuehan and targeted him. After passing the Changning Wang family, the truth is already coming out.

"We believe that the death of Zuoqiu Qingyun is most likely related to the Longzuo Qian family and the Changning Wang family." Xiaoyue finally concluded, "Xiaoyue can guarantee this testimony with her life. The contents in it are all facts. If you two don’t believe it, you can recruit relevant witnesses to come and question it.”

"That's not necessary. As a young master, there is no need to deceive us on such a trivial matter."

Zuoqiu Deye immediately refused.

Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to call people in for questioning right away.

For one thing, the content given by Xiaoyue is extremely detailed and meticulous, with clear logic, all the details can be matched, and the credibility is extremely high.

Secondly, no matter whether he believed it in his heart or not, on the surface, he had to pretend to be very trusting to save face for Gongyang. As for whether to investigate secretly or not, that is another matter.

"I can't believe that my noble Zuoqiu clan would be teased like this. What a shame!" Zuoqiu Zhenghua reacted quickly. He slapped the table with an angry look on his face to express his stance, "The Qian family and the Wang family are so disrespectful. I, Mr. Zuoqiu, take them seriously! I, Mr. Zuoqiu, will never let them go easily!"

"Take it easy, both of you."

Seeing the attitude of the two people, Gongyang Ce knew better.

He continued: "I have a plan, which can make the Qian family and the Wang family pay the price, and also vent my anger on the Zuoqiu family. I wonder if Brother Deye would like to listen to me?"

Zuoqiu Deye's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that after going around in circles for so long, the real drama was finally coming.

He immediately raised his hand in cooperation and said: "That's natural. Master, please tell me."

"Both the Zuoqiu family and the Cao family are victims of this matter. This is what I think, why don't you two join forces..." Gongyang Ce immediately put his plan into action like this. I said it roughly.

Zuoqiu Deye is also a man who has lived for hundreds of years. As soon as he heard these words, he already understood most of it.

He and his great-grandson Zuoqiu Zhenghua looked at each other with a hesitant expression: "This... this matter is of great importance. I need to go back and discuss it before making a decision."

"This is natural. It should be."

Gongyang Ce naturally would not force the two of them, and after a few more polite words, he let them leave.

After the two left, only Gong Yangce and three others were left in the Qingzhu Courtyard.

"Sir, will they agree?" Cao Youqing frowned slightly, feeling a little doubtful.

"Don't worry, they will agree."

The person who answered her was not Gong Yangce, but Xiaoyue.

She smiled and said: "The master has taken Fairy Youqing out of the Zuoqiu Qingyun case, and the Zuoqiu family has no reason to continue to take action against the Cao family. Informing the plan makes one's position clear, and it can also be regarded as Subtle support for Fairy Youqing, as long as they are not stupid, they know what to do."

After all, the connections and energy represented by a great prodigy in the Purple Mansion Realm of the Lingyun Holy Land are simply not something that a fourth-grade family can compete with.

Between friends and foes, fools know how to choose.

"What's more, Young Master's plan doesn't even require them to take risks. It can be easily accomplished, so they have no reason to refuse." Xiaoyue added.

Cao Youqing still didn't figure it out: "But, can this really work?"

"That's enough." Gongyang Ce glanced at her and said calmly, "Most of the time, plans don't need to be complicated. What's important is that they are effective."

What's more, conspiracies are easy to crack, and upright plots are often the most difficult to resist.

His goal has never been to eliminate the Qian family or the Wang family. This arrangement is just to take advantage of the general trend and exert pressure. It would also be a good way to teach the Qian family and the Wang family to understand what it meant to be his enemy.

What he wanted from beginning to end was Longzuo County.

Of course, it would be great if we could take this opportunity to recruit a few talents.

Ask Xiaoyue to call the attendants from the manor over, remove the food and wine, and replace them with tea. He said calmly in a chatty manner: "Now that the situation is complete, all that is needed is a gentle push. In this matter Above, no one else in Longzuo County is of concern. There are only two people who need attention. One is Qian Xuehan, the head of the Qian family, and the second is the head of the Wang family, Wang Shouzhe."

"Qian Xuehan?"

Cao Youqing was stunned for a moment.

She can understand Wang Shouzhe. After all, she herself has suffered losses at the hands of Wang Shouzhe more than once, so she naturally understands how terrifying this person is. But Qian Xuehan?

In her impression, Qian Xuehan was just a coward who could only cry and cry. How could he deserve such attention?

"I forgot that Fairy Youqing has been in seclusion. I'm afraid she still doesn't know the situation." Xiaoyue poured a cup of tea for Gong Yangce and explained to Cao Youqing casually, "In recent years, the Qian family has been developing steadily. Very fierce. Although your cheap great-nephew Qian Xuehan is not a prominent person, his authority within the Qian family has been growing day by day over the years. Unknowingly, he already has a considerable say in the Presbyterian Church. From this point of view, he is much stronger than his father, and he can be considered a person."

You must know that Qian Xuehan and his father Qian Qinhong were under a lot of control from the Presbyterian Church during his reign. Otherwise, he would not be timid and worried about doing things.

Qian Xuehan was able to sort out the complex relationships within the Qian family and firmly assume the position of head of the family in just a dozen years. In addition to the support of his ancestors, his own abilities must also be very strong.

After a pause, Xiaoyue added: "In his hands, Qian may have the possibility to go further."

The Qian family is already a Zifu family, and if they go one step further, they will become a fourth-grade family.

You must know that it is easy for a family to maintain its status, but it is extremely difficult to take further steps. What's more, there are only a few fourth-grade families in the entire Daqian? A person who can bring a fifth-grade family to fourth-grade can barely be called a "hero".

Xiao Yue’s evaluation can be said to be extremely high.

Cao Youqing also didn't expect that Qian Xuehan, whom she had never looked up to, could receive such a high evaluation.

However, Sister Xiaoyue has been following the Lord for many years, and her ability to identify people is recognized even by the Lord. Even she said that, so it's probably true.

For a moment, her expression could be said to be quite complicated.

"However, although Qian Xuehan's ability is not bad, compared with Wang Shouzhe, it pales in comparison." Xiaoyue said, with a look of admiration on her face unconsciously, "Opening up wasteland in foreign lands is a challenge for any aristocratic family. Generally speaking, they are all time-consuming and laborious projects. However, under the leadership of Wang Shouzhe, it took only ten years for the Wang family to complete the development of foreign lands and the migration of the population. The process has been smooth sailing and encountered almost no difficulties. Now, that The newly opened Xin'an Town is already thriving, not much worse than those towns that have been opened up for many years. This speed of land development can be said to be incredible."

"In addition, the 'Shouzhe Pass' built by the Wang family is ten miles long. I have roughly estimated that the Wang family has invested at least 20 million in it. But inside the Wang family, There is no sign of lack of money at all."

"How is that possible?" Cao Youqing was so shocked that her eyes widened.

This is 20 million!

Even for a fifth-grade family, it is impossible to spend so much money at once. They must sell part of their property to raise funds, not to mention that the Wang family is only a seventh-grade family. Where did their family get so much money? !

Of course, what they didn't know was that Xiaoyue's estimated amount was actually inaccurate because of an error in estimating the cost of cement.

The Wang family’s investment in land reclamation in foreign lands was actually only about 16 million. In addition, the ferocious beasts killed and the elixir discovered during the process of reclaiming the outer lands were also worth a small two million gold, which offset part of the investment to a certain extent.

Of course, even 14 million dry gold is already staggering enough.

Listening to the conversation between the two women, Gong Yangce rubbed the tea cup with his fingertips, a deep thought flashing in his eyes.

Compared to Qian Xuehan, this Wang Shouzhe was the one he couldn't figure out the most.

In addition to Wang Shouzhe's incredible ability to make money, Wang Shouzhe's abilities in other aspects really made him raise eyebrows.

This person seems to be born knowing what to do to make the family strong quickly. From the moment he took over the family, everything he did has a clear purpose, and it can be said that he has never made a mistake.

The Wang clan members trained by him are all outstanding, and any one of them can be enough to serve as the backbone of the Zifu family. Queen Li Yao was recognized by Master Tianhe as soon as she entered the palace and was directly designated as the heir of Longzuo Academy.

If Wang Shouzhe was a carefully cultivated heir from a second- or third-grade family, it would be reasonable if he had such skills and abilities, but he was only from a ninth-grade family.

In addition, after Wang Shouzhe took over the Wang family, he made a series of adjustments within the Wang family and promulgated a series of clan rules, which gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be two words - "ambition".

It seems that from the very beginning, Wang Shouzhe never thought of letting his family stop at the seventh rank, but went directly to the fifth rank or even higher ranks.

But the problem is that when he took over the Changning Wang Family more than thirty years ago, the Changning Wang Family was only a ninth-grade family.

This was the most puzzling part for him.

Where did the heir of a ninth-grade family get such ambition and self-confidence?

This made him have to suspect that besides Wang Liyao, there were other great talents within the Changning Wang family.

Maybe it was Wang Shouzhe himself.

Only in this way can these things be explained.

But how could an heir to a ninth-grade family, a Xuanwu monk whose qualifications had been determined long ago, suddenly become a great genius and know so many things that he shouldn't know?

However, no matter how powerful Wang Shouzhe is, the Wang family is only in the seventh rank after all.

Or "that thing" is more important.

Gongyang Ce put aside his distracting thoughts, put down the tea cup, and said calmly: "I have something to go to the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty. You two are responsible for following up on the matters here."

Xiaoyue and Cao Youqing were chatting animatedly when they heard the words and quickly bowed in agreement.

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, my lord."

The game has been laid and the chess pieces are in place.

The next thing is just to pay attention at all times and make slight adjustments according to the actual situation. With the two of them here, it is enough to handle it. With the current strength of the Qian family and the Wang family, there is no way they can turn the world upside down.

At that time, both the Qian family and the Wang family will crawl at his feet. Paving the way for the battle between emperor and son~~

When the time comes, you must have a good chat with Wang Shouzhe. That is a talent that will be of great benefit to the future once he is brought under his command.

……

At the same time, the two ancestors of the Zuoqiu family, who had left the restaurant and returned on the "Jade-clawed Egret" chariot, were also discussing what had just happened.

Zuoqiu Zhenghua's expression was serious and his tone was slightly dissatisfied: "Grandpa Zeng, with this plan, Mr. Ce made it clear that he wanted our Zuoqiu family to be his pawns and use us to deal with that Longzuo Qian family. This matter I'm afraid it's not that simple. Let's not say whether it's true or not. I'm afraid it's just a pretext, and he must have other plans."

"You're right. What happened back then is just a pretext. At this point, the truth is actually not that important anymore." Zuoqiu Deye nodded in agreement, "He wouldn't have the leisure and leisure to come here specifically to replace Our Zuoqiu family makes suggestions. In my opinion, he is either eyeing the caravan in the hands of the Qian family, or he is eyeing the area in Longzuo County."

"This is to pave the way for the battle between emperor and son, and also to plan for his future path as a son."

However, he and Zuoqiu Zhenghua are both Masters of the Purple Mansion who have lived for hundreds of years, so they naturally don't just look at the surface when looking at problems.

The dispute between aristocratic families has always been a struggle for interests.

If Zuoqiu didn't have thoughts about Cao's shipping caravan, when Cao Bangning asked people to come over to sue for peace, he would have signaled Zuoqiu Junming to agree instead of continuing to fight with Cao. .

After all, there are many geniuses among the Cao family. Although Zuoqiu Qingyun's performance was not bad after he got the opportunity, his life is not that precious.

It is not in the overall interest of the Zuoqiu family to fight with another Zifu family for so many years.

Now that Gong Yangce has come forward in person, the plan behind it has become clear.

"What about our family? Is it possible that we really want to take action against the Longzuo Qian family?" Zuoqiu Zhenghua asked, "The Longzuo Qian family is not an ordinary fifth-grade family. Their caravan has been expanding over the years. . Moreover, in addition to our family's special supply of grain to the capital, nearly one-third of the remaining grain transportation and external sales business is completed in cooperation with the Qian family. If we take action, grain sales will inevitably be affected. "

As for the Changning Wang family, in his opinion, it is just incidental, so naturally he will not mention it much.

Zuoqiu Deye naturally understood what he was worried about and said: "Master Ce decided this situation and made it clear that he did not really want to kill the Qian family, but had other motives. Don't worry too much, we will follow the plan Just do what you do. As for the dispute between the emperor and his son, haha~ At present, they are just using each other, and our Zuoqiu family can't talk about surrendering."

Having been the first ancestor for so many years, he has seen a lot of strife among aristocratic families, so he is naturally familiar with the routines involved. If you seriously want to bring down a noble family, you must definitely start from the fundamental lifeline of the other party.

The strategy devised by Gongyang is not so much about cutting off its foundations as it is about applying pressure.

This will not have much impact on the future cooperation between Zuoqiu and Qian. After all, as long as the aristocratic families are not mortal enemies, no one will be at odds with Qian.

Moreover, Gong Yangce’s plan does not require too much manpower and material resources.

This time Zuoqiu acted according to his plan. He could not only gain face by selling him, but also avenge being teased. It could be said to be a sure-profit deal, and he would naturally not refuse it.

It's just a pity that Cao's shipping caravan...

Zuoqiu Deye sighed, and then he remembered the death of Zuoqiu Qingyun, and the various criticisms Zuoqiu had received over the years because of Zuoqiu Qingyun.

He couldn't help but sneered: "Since the Qian family didn't give us Zuoqiu family face at the beginning, we don't need to save face for them this time. I want to see, under the joint sanctions between us and the Cao family, then How long can Mr. Qian last?"

……

After more than a month.

Ping'an Town, Chang Ningwei, Longzuo County.

Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye since Wang Shouzhe obtained the Wuji Treasure Pill from Monan and returned to Changning to open up wasteland for the Wang family.

Even the famous "Shouzhe Pass" has been completed for five years.

In the past fifteen years, although the Wang family has been busy, their overall life has been peaceful, and the family momentum has been booming.

With the endorsement of major aristocratic families, a large number of people migrated continuously into "Xin'an Town". Under the planning, one piece of wasteland was cultivated into good farmland in an orderly manner, forming a vast expanse of crisscrossed roads. farm.

A series of semi-natural and semi-artificial rivers and ditches connect farms and villages. It can not only solve the domestic water needs of tenant farmers, but also solve irrigation problems and increase crop yields.

As we all know, if there is no reliable and long-term water source, the farmland created from wasteland will have to rely on the weather and cannot be called fertile farmland.

The Wang family in Changning built river embankments, built river channels, built gates, set up water dragons in Ping'an Town, and even developed a mature technology for diverting water into terraced fields. The use and control of water has always been a top priority, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Even as early as the beginning of land reclamation, the Wang family had a comprehensive and unified plan for the rivers, ditches, gates, irrigation facilities and flood control facilities in Xin'an Town. Such land reclamation, although it consumes a lot of money in the early stage, can be related to the development of the next hundred or hundreds of years.

Just when the Wang family was busy up and down.

On the contrary, as the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe is more leisurely. There are more and more talents in the family, and the young people have matured one by one, so naturally there is no need for him to do everything.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe only needs to practice every day, plant flowers, and then play with his grandchildren.

At this time, Wang Shouzhe was wearing a loose and comfortable robe and was staying in his small courtyard.

The simple and elegant spring plum blossoms have half-opened buds like a sixteen-year-old girl, half-covered and secretly exhaling a light fragrance. In the open space among the flowers, Wang Shouzhe was lying comfortably on the Taishi chair, drinking a pot of Yunwu Ling tea and enjoying the crisp sunshine of early spring.

Several young children surrounded his knees, either beating his legs or squeezing his shoulders, while they all looked at him eagerly.

"Speaking of which, the white-bone spirit refused to give up, and transformed into an old lady, crying and shouting: "Daughter, my poor son, where are you? ...Monster, where are you going? Wukong struck the head with a blow...Tang Monk was shocked, you fierce monkey, how could you injure two innocent lives in a row? How can I tolerate you as a master... After saying that, I kept reciting the tightening curse..." Wang Shouzhe vividly told the story of three dozen white-bone spirits.

When he got to the exciting part, he stopped abruptly.

A teenage boy, fair and clean, will definitely be a handsome man in the future. At this time, his black and white eyes were widened: "Grandpa, that Tang Monk is so unreasonable. Wukong beat the monster to death to protect him, but he wants to recite a tight spell to harm Wukong. Damn it, he is really a big idiot who doesn't know right from wrong~ ”

"So, Zhao'er, you are the young clan leader. If you want to take on a big responsibility in the future, you must first learn to distinguish right from wrong." Wang Shouzhe smiled and patted his head fondly.

It is said that Wang Shouzhe dotes on his grandson Wang Wangzhao far more than his son Wang Zongan.

"Grandpa, grandpa, don't listen to my brother's nonsense." A little girl of six or seven years old shook Wang Shouzhe's arm vigorously and said, "Go on, go on, what happened to Wukong? It's not three dozen white-bone spirits. Well... I've only been beaten twice. Also, the tight band is really a good thing. If I want one, I must put it on my brother, so that he can obey me."

This little girl's name is Wang Yingting. She is only seven years old and is Wang Shouzhe's eldest granddaughter.

Her brother Wang Guangzhao rolled his eyes at her angrily: "If you want to put a tight spell on me, I will beat you to death with a stick."

"Grandpa, my brother is bullying me~" the little girl Wang Yingting pouted, not to be outdone, and complained in person.

"Wang Yingting, I think you are a white-bone demon who framed good people."

Then, the brother and sister started arguing.

"Okay, shut up." Another teenage **** the side rolled her eyes and said, "Wang Wangzhao, Wang Yingting, one of you is twelve years old and the other is seven years old, can you stop being so childish?"

"Yes, little aunt." The royal family Zhao and Wang Yingting both agreed honestly. There was no way, they were a generation behind Wang Lijue, so they had to be honest when being trained, even though she was one year younger than Wang Wangzhao.

After training his nephew and niece, Wang Lijue hugged Wang Shouzhe’s neck and started acting coquettishly: “Dad, I want to hear the story about Sun Monkey causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace~”

"Okay, okay, come down here." Wang Shouzhe grabbed her down angrily, "You are already eleven years old, you are not allowed to get into daddy's arms anymore. Your aunt Luoqiu was eleven years old back then. At that time, they were all ready to kill gods and Buddhas."

While Wang Shouzhe was accompanying the children.

In the square outside the Wang family's main gate, a group of knights galloped in from a distance.

The knight running at the front was riding a horse that was as red as fire, with muscles as smooth as silk, and four snow-white hooves. It was the famous spiritual stallion "Fire Steps on White Clouds".

This horse is swift and smart, and can walk on smooth ground even on some rugged mountain roads. If it is on high-quality grassland or flat road, it can explode 150 miles away in half an hour.

However, such a good horse also has a disadvantage, that is, it is too expensive. A quality "Fire Steps on White Clouds" often costs tens of thousands of gold. The concentrated feed fed on weekdays must also be a mixture of beans, spiritual grass, and a small amount of spiritual meat that are full of spiritual energy.

I think back then, Wang Shouzhe rode a horse of fire across the white clouds to marry his bride Liu Ruolan, which was a glorious sight.

More than thirty years have passed now.

The Wang family ranch, located north of Changningwei, has also successfully mastered the breeding and raising techniques of Fire Stepping Baiyun. But even with Wang's excellent spiritual beans, spiritual grass and other grains, successfully cultivating a fire-stepping white cloud war horse will take ten years and cost thousands of gold.

Therefore, even if the Wang family has ample financial conditions, not everyone can ride on fire and step on the white clouds.

As the knight arrived in front of the gatehouse and dismounted, he turned out to be a brave and handsome young man from an aristocratic family. He is only about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he is extremely tall. He is equipped with sword boots and a sword hanging from his waist. He has a strong profound energy and an extraordinary foundation at such a young age.

This son is Wang Zongrui, the second son of the contemporary head of the family, Wang Shouzhe.

The other two slightly older young people traveling with him were also very handsome and tall, with calm and confident expressions between their brows. They are Wang Zongming, the son of Wang Shouyong, and Wang Zongping, the son of Wang Shoulian. They are both 21 years old and the same age.

The three of them are about the same age. They have a very deep relationship with each other and often work together. However, although Wang Zongrui is young, he is the second son of the current generation, so he is usually the head of the three.

Further behind, there is a team of seven or eight generals.

Wang Xin, the captain of the rotating family guarding the Wang family, hurriedly came forward and said, "I have seen the tenth young master, the eighth young master, and the ninth young master." He waved his hand, and several generals came forward to lead their horses. placement.

"Brother Xin, let's share it with your brothers to buy wine." Wang Zongming took out a small bag of large copper and threw it to the team leader Wang Xin. He said with a smile, "Master Zongrui's horse is very hot-tempered. , to be placed separately."

"Thank you young masters for the wine appreciation." Wang Xin said with a smile, "I heard that several young masters went to Izumo Guard? It was a spring breeze and a reward. It seemed that they had gained a lot. The task was completed very smoothly."

"However, if you two young masters go to Izumo Guard together to do business, wouldn't that harm the girls from the local aristocratic families? Once I see the charm of you several, I will be very lovesick."

This Wang Xin was born in a side line of the Wang family. He entered the key family general sequence training since he was a child. Now he is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm under the age of thirty, and will probably be a Lingtai Realm family general in the future.

Therefore, Wang Xin's status is not low, and he can make fun of several young masters of the Wang family.

The current branch of the Wang family is incredible. From the initial number of more than a thousand people, it has now grown to more than eight thousand people.

A considerable number of these descendants migrated from Longzuo in recent decades. Especially in the past ten years, they have moved to Xin'an Town and opened up wasteland, which has greatly alleviated the population shortage of the Wang family in Changning.

Collateral families also have their own genealogy. Everyone is well-documented and easier to investigate secretly. Therefore, it brought many reliable generals, stewards and other talents to the Wang family in Changning.

"Brother Xin, don't talk nonsense." Wang Zongping scolded with a smile, "We brothers are here to work and gain experience, not to attract bees and butterflies. If this is spread to the ears of the fourth uncle, it will cause misunderstanding, and it will not be safe. You need to be taken care of by family law."

Mia Tai will return to Mia Tai.

But there was a trace of lingering pride in Wang Zongping's eyes. Today's Changning Wang family is not only respected among the six southern guards of Longzuo County, but also has a well-known reputation throughout Longzuo County.

The Wang family is not only rich and powerful, but also attaches great importance to the cultivation of the younger generation. Take Wang Zongping, a direct descendant, for example. His training standards are far higher than those of a direct descendant from a seventh-grade family.

The Ling Qi Pill, the Blood Tempering Pill, and a Marrow Cleansing Pill are the minimum standard equipment for disciples of the Wang family. The training before the age of sixteen is based on the treatment of the seventh-grade family for cultivating the Celestial Race.

After the age of sixteen, as long as you learn from your elders and work hard to improve yourself, you will be able to continuously obtain high-quality training resources, which are better than those of the celestial beings from the seventh-grade family.

The future of life points directly to the realm of heaven and humans.

With such treatment, not to mention the seventh-grade aristocratic family or the sixth-grade aristocratic family, even the direct descendants of the fifth-grade aristocratic family are far inferior to them. Because although the fifth-grade aristocratic family is richer, there are too many direct descendants in each generation.

There are only a few kittens like Wang, so they all look precious.

When these people go out, they are all handsome and handsome, with profound cultivation and solid foundation, and their future is far from limitless. It's no wonder that those young ladies of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades of the aristocratic family can't help but admire her. Marrying into the direct lineage of the Wang family is no less than marrying into the outstanding direct lineage of the Zifu family.

This is the world today.

Any young descendant of the Wang family who dares to appear on the blind date market will be robbed. The initial match will be at least a direct descendant of a heavenly family.

Not to mention a legitimate son like Wang Zongrui, whose training and treatment are based on those of a genius. According to the current development and prosperity of the Wang family, only a legitimate daughter from a strong sixth-grade family or a fifth-grade family could be worthy of him.

But even so, everyone in the Wang family will not gossip. Because everyone knows that without the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe, and without the strength of his direct lineage, how would the Wang family be as prosperous as it is today?

Under various factors, how could the younger generation of the Wang family not be confident? However, due to Wang's good tutoring and the reward and punishment system, they are all proud but not domineering, with many etiquette and rules.

While chatting and laughing, a few young people went to the family treasure pavilion and communicated with the weapon spirit "Xiaoxue". After confirming that they had completed the task, they received a family contribution value.

Just when they were about to disperse, each looking for his mother.

Suddenly.

The secret room of the Treasure Pavilion was suddenly opened, and a graceful woman walked out. After the woman smiled lightly at the young masters, she walked away to the middle of the main house.

Wang Zongrui and other young masters were all dumbstruck, with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces. They looked at each other, this, this, this, is this a ghost?

There is no other reason.

The woman was tall and tall, with slender legs and sky-blue hair tied back into long twin tails. Her hair was so long that it almost reached the ground. In addition, she wears a pair of stockings on her slender legs, with the left side black and the right side white, so it is called "black and white pair".

I want to ask how these young masters knew...it's just because the family spirit is dressed like this, and they have been exposed to it since childhood, how could they not know it?

What made them tremble the most was that the woman had big watery eyes, long eyelashes, pointed ears, a tapered chin, blush and white skin, like [Qi Ling Xiao Xue], she suddenly came to life appearance.

"Zong, Zong Rui, am I wrong?" Wang Zongping was shaken, his face full of horror, "Xiao, Xiaoxue is alive!"

"Ding Dong~ Young Masters, she is not Xiaoxue." Suddenly, the image of Xiaoxue from the Treasure Pavilion appeared again, and she said in a faint voice, "Look carefully, her legs are not as long as mine, and some parts of her body are not as long as mine." My Qiao, there... is not as big as me... hmph, he is just an annoying imitator."

"Then who is she?" Wang Zongrui and others asked.

"Ding dong~ The identity inquiry is in progress, the identity confidentiality level is top secret! I'm sorry, young masters, there is only one person in the Wang family who has the authority to inquire about her identity, and that is the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe."

"So mysterious? Only the head of the family knows?"

Wang Zongrui and others looked at each other, their expressions suddenly serious. All kinds of bad guesses suddenly came to mind~

After counting the interest.

"This, something big is going to happen." Wang Zongming said in a trembling voice, "It turns out that Xiaoxue was not fabricated out of thin air, but was processed by original art... What should I do if my fourth aunt knows about this? ”

"Bago...you mean...she has come to your door?" Wang Zongping's expression also changed greatly, "Something bad has happened. The family is in crisis. Come on, Zongrui, go and invite the ancestors. This situation is now , only the ancestors can settle it."

"This is another fight, and this time is different from the past. This is real action!"

"Brother Ninth, I'd better trouble you to invite the ancestor..." Wang Zongrui gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "I, I will risk my life to save my father first."

At the same time, he groaned with trembling in his heart. Dad, you must control yourself and take control. It is so difficult for me, Wang Zongrui, to have such a pair of parents.
