Anjiang is one of the two most important rivers in Daqian Kingdom.
It originates from the Xihai Plateau, passes through Xihai and Lingbei counties, with several tributaries flowing into it, and finally enters the sea from Longzuo County, with a total length of approximately tens of thousands of miles.
As a local leader in Anjiang, the Jiaolong Gang has a huge sphere of influence. The nearly 10,000-mile section of the river from Lingbei to the mouth of the sea, that is, the middle and lower reaches of Anjiang, belongs to the Jiaolong Gang's sphere of influence.
In order to facilitate management, the Jiaolong Gang has set up a sub-rudder every thousand miles, and each sub-rudder has a leader in the realm of celestial beings to take charge.
In addition to the second master "Red Jade Jiao" Jiang Yusong who has been with Long Wuji all year round, the third master "Spirit Slayer" Du Tiangang, the adopted son "One-eyed Jiao" Zhao Wuqing, etc., the entire Jiaolong Gang has a total of more than fifteen heavenly beings. A strong person.
Among them, there are three or four leaders in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm alone, and they are quite powerful.
In the middle reaches of Anjiang River, Lingbei Xianyu Branch.
This branch is located in Xianyuling, the northernmost part of Lingbei County, with mountains on its back and water on its side. It is only across a river from the capital of Daqian. It is the closest place to the capital of Daqian in the entire Anjiang River section.
Near the river, there is a large shipyard, which is where the Xianyu branch is located.
In the dock, a young man in white was holding a tea cup and slowly sipping tea foam.
On the coffee table in front of him, there was a chessboard carved from spiritual jade. The chessboard was criss-crossed with jade-white chess pieces and black chess pieces. It had obviously been played for a while.
Opposite the chessboard, the helmsman of the Fairy Jade Division, "Flying Eagle" Ji Chen, was holding a black chess piece in his hand, with a grimace on his face and hesitation.
After a while, he put down the chess piece with a confused look on his face.
The young man in white across from him didn't even raise his eyes. He raised his fingertips and a jade-white chess piece flew out of the chess basket and landed on the chessboard with a "pop" sound.
Ji Chen took a closer look and the sweat on his forehead fell instantly.
"you lose."
The young man in white took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Yes, yes. I lost."
Ji Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then with a sad face, he took out one of the golden tickets in front of him and put it on the opposite side.
I don’t know how long the two of them have been playing chess. He only had a few thin golden tickets left in his hand, but the young man in white had a thick stack in front of him. You can imagine how miserable the loss was.
Although the power of the Jiaolong Gang is not inferior to that of the ordinary Zifu family, Ji Chen is just a monk in the heavenly realm. He is only in charge of one of the ten branches of the Jiaolong Gang. The oil and water he earns on weekdays is enough for himself. As a practitioner, how much savings do you have?
What is on the table now is almost all his property. If he continues to lose, he will really go bankrupt.
The young man in white had no sympathy for Ji Chen at all.
He waved his hand casually, and the chess pieces on the chessboard fell back into the chess basket.
"Next round."
"Return?"
Ji Chen's expression was already very bitter, and he almost cried when he heard this.
He quickly covered the golden ticket in front of him and begged for mercy: "Master Ce, it's meaningless even if you win against me, so why don't we take a break? Or, when our second master comes, you can ask him to accompany you.
Guess? His chess skills are much better than mine."
It turns out that this young man in white is the great genius of the Holy Land, Gong Yangce.
"No need. It won't make much difference if you change the person." Gongyang Cehun raised his eyelids nonchalantly and looked at Ji Chen opposite, "Let's make a move~"
Ji Chen had no choice but to pick up a sunspot and start thinking about it seriously with a sad face.
He felt that his golden ticket would probably be empty today~
At this moment.
Outside the dock, a domineering and deep male voice suddenly came from: "Hahahaha~ Mr. Ce is here, I am sorry to welcome you from afar, I am disrespectful~ I am disrespectful~"
At the same time, there was also a powerful force coming like a tidal wave, surging and undulating, full of indescribable force and domineering.
Ji Chen stopped playing chess and quickly looked outside. He saw a brilliant ray of light spreading from the horizon with surging power, and in an instant he reached the door of the dock.
Soon, the glow dispersed, and a figure emerged from it, and Long Xinghu stepped into the dock.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and half-legged trousers. He was dressed very casually and had stubble on his chin. He didn't look like the majesty that a strong man in the Purple Mansion Realm should have. Instead, he had a sloppy aura.
However, the surging aura on his body that has not yet dissipated, has already demonstrated his power and majesty.
It was Long Wuji, the boss of the Jiaolong Gang, who came.
"Boss, you are finally here~"
Ji Chen felt like he was being pardoned, so he quickly dropped his chess pieces and went up to him. At the same time, he gave up his imperial chair and respectfully asked Long Wuji to take his seat.
Gongyang Ce also stood up, raised his hand and saluted politely: "Master Long."
"Master Ce, you're welcome~"
Long Wuji raised his hand and responded politely, and then the two of them took their seats again.
Gongyang Ce is the great talent of the Holy Land, and will probably become a strong man in the supernatural realm in the future. Long Wuji naturally wants to give him some respect. Although his sitting posture is still lazy, his tone of voice is rare and polite.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then Long Wuji got down to business: "Young master Ce, you are a busy man, why did you think of me, an old man, here? Why did you send someone here to meet me?"
"To be honest with Mr. Long, I came here for the Wang family in Changning. My follower Cao Youqing died because of the Wang family. I came here to invite Master Long to deal with the Wang family together." Gong Yangce
After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Long Wuji, "Now the Wang family is vigorously developing seafood farming in Qingluowei, and maritime trade is also frequent, and Lord Long sees it. As long as Lord Long is willing to take action, in the future, this
You will take over all the interests of the piece, and I will never interfere at all."
"Master Ce's proposal is very tempting." Long Wuji smiled, "However, Master Ce must have forgotten that I still have a fifty-year agreement with the Wang family."
If not, how could he sit back and watch the Wang family grow to where it is now?
"It's just a verbal agreement~" Gongyang Cehun didn't care, "As long as the goal can be achieved, what about the means? What's more, the oral agreement has many loopholes. If you want to break the agreement, it is not difficult to attack the Wang family in advance.
."
He felt that this was a small matter.
There were many agreements made between aristocratic families and various forces, but they were broken many times later. Man said that he would not care. I am afraid that even the Wang family did not expect Long Wuji to fully abide by the agreement.
Unexpectedly, Long Wuji's smile faded when he heard this, and there was a hint of coldness in his slightly narrowed eyes: "You want me to break the contract? Huh~ Gong Yangce, although I respect you as a great genius, I am willing to give you more.
A bit of face. But it’s not your turn to teach me, Long Wuji, how to do things.”
Although Gongyang Ce is a great genius, backed by the Holy Land, and has a strong background, he is also of royal blood, and naturally has his own pride. He can be polite to Gongyangce and give him a little more face, but Gongyangce wants to command
He does things but cannot.
He snorted coldly: "Although I, Long Wuji, am not a good person, I can't do anything but break promises."
"Stubborn."
When Gongyang Ce heard this, his face turned ugly.
He had already heard of Long Wuji, the "Emperor's Uncle", and knew that he had a weird temper, but he didn't expect to be such a person who accepts death.
The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Next to him, Ji Chen was covered in cold sweat.
Oh my god~ The boss and Mr. Ce won’t fight, right?
Both of them are strong men in the Purple Mansion Realm. Once they fight, his shipyard will not be able to be saved.
After who knows how long, Gongyang Ce suddenly snorted coldly: "Since Mr. Long insists, then we will wait for another two years. By then, Mr. Long will have no reason to refuse anymore."
"That's natural." Long Wuji raised his head and said proudly, "At that time, there is no need to tell Mr. Ce, I will take action against the Wang family in Changning."
"Okay. I hope Mr. Long will not regret today's decision." After Gong Yangce finished speaking, he didn't bother to talk nonsense to Long Wuji anymore. He put down the tea cup and stood up to leave.
Wait two more years and wait two more years.
It was already more than thirty years too late, and it was not less than these two years. Taking advantage of these two years, he could make other preparations.
In a flash of lightning, he was already outside the dock.
With a wave of his wide sleeves, a white-golden glow completely enveloped his figure.
The next moment, the glow rose into the sky, and in an instant it rushed into the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun. Then it roared out like a sharp sword and disappeared into the distant horizon with its billowing power.
…
Longzuo Changning Guard.
To the northwest of Changning City, there is a medium-sized volcanic crater.
Because of its existence, large swaths of land are covered with rocks, and the lithification is so severe that it is difficult to open up wasteland on a large scale.
As a result, this large area of land has existed in the form of large pastures for a long time.
However, blessings and misfortunes are intertwined. The volcanic ash accumulated from ancient times has long been integrated with the earth, making the land rich in nutrients and making the grass grow particularly fat and tender.
Meats such as cattle, sheep, and pigs raised on this grass are also of high quality and are popular in the Minami-Rokuei area.
In the earliest days, the Huangfu family occupied this large ranch, which was called the Huangfu Ranch. Today, the ranch has long since fallen into the hands of the Wang family and has become the Wang Family Ranch.
Although Wang's ranch is not ranked among all Wang's properties in terms of pure annual income, it is one of Wang's fundamental industries.
In addition to the ordinary yak meat, pork, mutton, etc. produced every year, except for Ping'an and Xin'an towns, the rest of the output is basically digested near Weihe, Changning.
Wheat and rice, the two main crops, are certainly necessities for human survival. However, supplementing the diet with meat can make people's qi and blood more vigorous, which is also beneficial to the growth and development of young people.
Nowadays, the common people in the entire Changning Guard, even the tenant farmers, live a relatively prosperous life in general. Their average consumption of meat, fish, eggs, and milk is far higher than that of the Changning Guard a hundred years ago.
After generations of enhanced nutrition, the physical fitness, including physique, of the current generation of young people in Changningwei is far superior to that of their ancestors. Their average height and even bloodline qualification rate are higher than those in Longzuo County.
The overall level.
The production of spiritual meat, including spiritual horn yak, iron-backed barbarian pig, and northwest spiritual beef cattle, is also increasing year by year. It is just because the production cycle of spiritual meat is too long and the consumption is huge, it has been difficult to satisfy the ever-increasing spiritual meat of the entire Changning Guard.
class requirements.
Among them, the most difficult one to cultivate is Northwest Ling beef cattle. As a third-level meat breed, although its growth cycle has been shortened to a hundred years, the average cost of breeding it is still tens of thousands of gold per head.
Even though this kind of spiritual beef cattle has been cultivated for many generations and has a physique comparable to that of an adult elephant, with a one-time meat production rate of nearly 10,000 kilograms, the pure cost of a kilogram of gold is still very terrifying.
However, as a third-level spiritual meat food, it has a strong effect on replenishing the Qi and blood of Xuanwu monks, and also helps to speed up the growth of Xuanwu monks. Therefore, no matter how high the cost is, Wang's ranch must raise a large area by itself.
Nowadays, the total number of large and small northwest cattle raised by the Wang family has reached more than 500, and the number is increasing year by year. It is expected that in the near future, ten cattle should be slaughtered every year, which can barely supply the Wang family.
There is no way, there are too many geniuses and great geniuses in the Wang family. Various spiritual foods rich in energy, blood and nutrients, as well as supplements with various elixirs are inevitable. Otherwise, their cultivation speed will be affected and delayed.
future.
Even Wang Shouzhe, Wang Longyan and other celestial geniuses eat fifth-level spiritual meat in order to speed up their cultivation. However, how can ordinary pastures have the conditions to breed fifth-level spiritual beasts?
Either wait for some blind fifth-level spirit beast to hit the [Shou Zhe Pass] and seek death. Or, you can only buy it for a long time. In short, the price is extremely high, and it is also extremely unstable.
Therefore, Wang's large ranch is also trying to breed fourth-level beef cattle. However, this technology requires long-term accumulation, and Wang's background in the breeding industry is too poor.
Ranch crater.
Outside the crater, Wang built a small base.
This small base is used for the long-term residence and office use of core members of the Wang family and generals. It is from this base that the entire Wang family ranch is controlled.
The guardian of Wang's ranch has always been Wang Luotong, a member of the Wang family's generation.
She has been working diligently to develop animal husbandry for fifty or sixty years, expanding the overall breeding scale by about three times. The current total output value exceeds one million dry gold, and she has also accumulated a lot of animal husbandry technology for the Wang family.
More importantly, during this process, she also switched from her original major skill [Xuan Yuan Jue] to the fire skill [Red Dragon True Skill], and relied on the fire spiritual veins inside the volcano to continuously The earth improves its cultivation and achieves the realm of heaven and man.
Of course, if she hadn't taken the initiative to ask Wang Shouzhe for a Wedding Clothes Blood Gu, she wouldn't have been able to reach the realm of heaven at the age of eighty-seven.
at the same time.
In Wang's ranch base.
A nearly middle-aged man with a beard jumped out of the carriage, holding a four or five-year-old boy in his arms.
Wang Chong, a middle-aged general from the Lingtai Jing family who was on duty nearby, hurriedly led a few tribesmen to greet him. He cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Mr. Lei, I've seen Young Master Zongbo." He waved his hand, and there were tribesmen with a carriage driver. He went aside to rest and unloaded some living supplies from the carriage.
Those are fruits, chickens, ducks, fish and geese produced in Wang's various farms. Although this is Wang's large pasture, the output of fruits, melons and agricultural and sideline products is very small.
"Wang Chong, where is my wife? Could it be that she went to patrol the ranch again?" Lei Bowu asked as he walked into the base with his child in his arms. As Wang's son-in-law, he could originally assist Wang Luotong in the ranch. Management and operation.
However, thirty-nine years ago, after they gave birth to the eldest queen, Li Mei, according to family rules, the child must grow up in the main house until the age of sixteen, and it is best to be raised by one parent.
Therefore, as the weaker party in the marriage, Lei Bowu had no choice but to return to the Wang family's main house to take care of the baby.
Fortunately, Wang's ranch is far away from the main house, so it only takes half a day to go quickly. Wang Luotong can take time to go back for reunions, and Lei Bowu can also bring his children to visit Luotong from time to time.
In this way, when Wang Limei turned eighteen, Lei Bowu returned to the ranch to assist Luo Tong. Until five years ago, Wang Luotong, who was still polishing at the peak of the ninth level of Lingtai realm, gave birth to another son, Wang Zongbo.
Lei Bowu had no choice but to return to the Wang family's main house again and try his best to be a daddy. There was no way, who made him crazy about Wang Luotong when he was young? If he married into a wife, he had to pay some price.
Fortunately, Lei Bowu has no complaints. After all, his wife is a genius of the Wang family. She has to work for the family and earn more family contributions, right? When a genius cultivates, if he wants to be fast, he will consume a lot of resources.
Although Wang's support for Luo Tong was very large, she also needed to complete additional tasks to earn contributions in order to speed up her cultivation. And Lei Bowu was not idle at the main house, and would always take on some family tasks that did not require a business trip, so as to speed up her cultivation. Let’s subsidize the resources that the proud lady has consumed so much.
Back to business.
Wang Chong, the family general, replied respectfully: "Master Lei, you also know that as the scale and output of our Wang's ranch become larger and larger, there will always be some ferocious birds and beasts that swim ashore from the Great Wasteland. , crossed the border of Zhenzewei and sneaked into our pasture to steal spiritual animals."
"Two days ago, some patrolling generals discovered traces of several ferocious crocodiles in the wasteland. They acted very cunningly and had secretly dragged away several spiritual-horned yaks. Ancestor Luotong personally led his generals' soldiers to encircle and suppress them. Those vicious crocodiles.”
"The ferocious crocodile in Huangze?" Lei Bowu frowned, "What happened to the Wang family in Zhenzewei? The prevention of Huangze was too negligent. I have also heard that several incidents have happened in recent years. That’s it.”
"Our Wang family sent people to investigate before. It should not be Wang's intention." Wang Chong said, "The disaster over there was more serious, and a clan member accidentally died."
The two were talking.
In the distance, a strong horse came quickly: "Is Patriarch Ruotong here? Our young master Shi Hao has been ordered to escort a group of animals over, all of which are fine breeds transported thousands of miles from Monan."
"If Tong is not here, I will handle this matter." General Lei Bo handed the child Wang Zongbo to the care of the clan soldiers. Then he led the base management and the strong clan soldiers to greet Wang Wanghao.
A large number of cattle, sheep and horses were transported from Monan, and most of them were high-quality breeding cattle and horses. This shows the intensity of the Monan Wang family's support to the Changning Wang family this time.
Moreover, these cattle, sheep and horses were only part of the congratulatory gifts, and the rest of the iron ingots were personally escorted by Wang Guangzhao to the Wang family's warehouse.
Everyone was busy and it took them a whole day to arrange the animals properly, register them and complete the handover.
After finishing their work, Wang Wanghao and Lei Bowu had the opportunity to sit down for tea and dinner.
"Shi Hao, I heard that you applied to be transferred to assist Qingluowei in managing the fishery industry, but was rejected by the Shouzhe family?" Lei Bowu drank the spirit tea and said in a slightly teasing tone, "You do the same, If you don't have a beautiful lady at home with you, why would you rather go all the way to Qingluowei to raise fish?"
Wang Guanghao is the second son of the young patriarch Wang Zongan. He is active and playful as a young boy, but not as calm as his elder brother Wang Guangzhao.
"Grandpa Fourth Aunt." Wang Wanghao said with a depressed look, "My dream is to see the vast sea. I also want to visit the legendary Tianji Continent. Alas, the one in my family is too It’s annoying. I’m not allowed to do this, and I’m not allowed to do that... But she’s quite good at pretending to please my grandmother, and she’s already made me so angry that she beat me twice!”
When he mentioned his grandmother, Lei Bowu also had a serious look on his face, and said hurriedly: "I say you should be beaten. How dangerous is it to go to the sea? Do you think that Miss Yuwen is so young? Are you going to be a widow? What’s more, you gave birth to An Rui slowly, and if you don’t give birth to a few more, how can the head of the Shouzhe family let you go?"
"Oh, Grandpa Fourth Aunt, you are really on the same page as Grandpa." Wang Wanghao complained in a low voice, "He said that as long as I give birth to five children, I can go wherever I want... Before I have five children, no Make sure you take one step outside the safe zone..."
"Five... is a bit cruel." Lei Bowu twitched the corner of his mouth, "But you also have to be considerate of your grandfather. Young people of your generation have never experienced this. The Wang family back then was thin and weak, and it was almost The family has been wiped out. Therefore, the head of the Shouzhe family hopes that the Wang family will prosper as soon as possible. Anyway, the Wang family is rich now and can afford to raise more children."
In fact, Wang Luotong didn't want to give birth to another child after giving birth to one. After putting it off for several years, she would be scolded by the head of the Shouzhe family every time they met. With no time to spare, she had to work harder to have another baby before she could be promoted to the realm of heaven and human beings. A male.
You must know that the more powerful the Xuanwu monk is, the lower the chance of childbirth will be. After both husband and wife are in the Lingtai realm, the chance of conception is very low every time, so more efforts are required.
Thanks to the persecution of the Shouzhe family head, Lei Bowu felt that that period was the most impressive period in his life, full of pain and happiness.
When I think of this.
The corner of Lei Bowu's mouth showed a lingering smile. With a powerful and talented wife, life is really quite colorful.
Suddenly!
At this time.
There was a loud bang in the base, as if something had fallen.
Everyone hurried out to take a look.
In the square, I saw a huge ferocious beast head lying on the ground ferociously. Next to it, suspended in the air, was a woman with a fiery figure and holding a flaming whip. Her face was not very good, as if there was something wrong with it. Angry.
"Mom, ma'am, are you back?" Lei Bowu hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the head of the ferocious beast. He couldn't help but gasped, "This is such a big head of the wilderness crocodile. Could it be that this is a fifth-level head?" A ferocious crocodile?"
"Why are you here?" Wang Luotong glanced at him lightly.
Lei Bowu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Madam, it's Zong Bo's kid who misses you and is clamoring to come and visit you."
When Wang Zongbo was mentioned, Wang Luotong's face softened a little: "After staying for two days, you take him back early. I'm afraid the ranch will be a little uneven these days."
"Grandma Fourth Aunt." Wang Wanghao glanced at the head of the ferocious beast and stepped forward to salute, "There was actually a fifth-level ferocious beast that arrived at our ranch all the way from the Great Wilderness. This has not happened in many years. Something happened."
He secretly admired her. Fourth Aunt Grandma was really powerful. Not long after she was promoted to the Heavenly Realm, she was able to kill ferocious beasts of the same level without seeming to be injured.
"It turns out that Shi Hao is also here." Wang Luotong's attitude towards Wang Wanghao became much friendlier, and he replied with a slightly serious expression, "It's probably not the Wang family that is causing trouble at this time. They are not capable of controlling the fifth-level ferocious beast. I have already
It is inferred that there are probably some problems within the Great Wilderness, which caused some amphibious beasts to migrate out."
"If this matter is not handled well, there will be big problems. We must report it to Fourth Brother immediately. If necessary, we can team up with experts to clean up the Great Wasteland. You guys have a rest for a while. I will write a letter and then use the messenger crow to deliver the news. Lao Lei
, I’ll leave this beast’s head to you for disposal.”
After that, she left in a resolute manner.
"Madam, don't worry, I will handle it well for my husband." Lei Bowu responded loudly, and at the same time, he was very happy in his heart. He just had the vision and married a domineering wife.
Life is full of joy, but it's a pity that she doesn't want to have another life for the time being.
