To the northwest of Longzuo County, the terrain gradually rises.
A broad river originates from the plateau area of the large mountain range - [Tianlong Mountains], runs through the entire Longzuo from west to east, and rushes into the sea from [Jinzhou Peninsula].
The upper and middle reaches of the river is the Chijin Plateau. The height difference is larger towards the east. The river is mixed with a large amount of red sand. The river water is red and the waves are extremely majestic. Therefore, this river is called - [Chijin River]!
Compared with the "winding and lingering" and "splendid beauty" of Anjiang, the Chijin River is galloping and magnificent, with the potential to swallow up mountains and rivers, and has a different kind of heroism.
【Red Gold Guard】.
This acropolis also had its glorious period.
In the early days of Longzuo County's land reclamation, the area was densely populated and various families were powerful. It was the undisputed core place in the north of Longzuo County and a must-have for aristocratic families.
In the end, after the ancestor of the Yan family was promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm, he declared his dominance over the entire area and has continued his position to this day.
Today's ancestor Yan Yufei is the third generation ancestor of the Yan family. The Zifu species of the Yan family more than a hundred years ago, the genius Yan Jingchi, if he succeeds in attacking the Zifu realm, he should be the Yan family's ancestor.
The fourth generation ancestor of Zifu.
Unfortunately, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world. Yan Jingchi failed to successfully break through the Zifu realm, which caused the Yan family to fall into a inheritance crisis.
Nowadays, the area within a thousand miles of the North Seven Guards of Longzuo County seems to be peaceful, but in fact, countless aristocratic families are sharpening their knives secretly, just waiting for the Yan's Whale to get a share of the pie first.
Even within the Yan family, there is full of anxiety, hoping that ancestor Yu Fei and the head of the Feihong family can resolve the family crisis and get through the most difficult moment.
This day.
Outside the east gate of Chijin City, the core acropolis of Longzuo North Seven Guards, the wide main official road had been under traffic control three days ago.
All casual cultivators, aristocratic families, common people, and caravans are not allowed to pass through the "Chidong Avenue". If you want to leave the city, you must go around the west and south gates.
In most cities, the east is the most important thing. As the saying goes, "When the purple air comes from the east, distinguished guests come." Therefore, guests with high status are often welcomed at the east city gate. I think back then, when there was a flood in Longzuo County,
Xiahou Hongde, the guardian of Changning Acropolis, greeted Fang Youan outside the east gate.
At this moment, a formation has been set up outside the east gate of Crimson Gold City, ready to welcome the distinguished guests.
Outside the East City Gate, Yingxian Square.
The square paved with red gold bricks, a local specialty, shines goldenly in the sun.
In the center of the huge square, there is a [Yingxian Terrace] that is more than ten feet high. The overall layout is magnificent and noble, demonstrating the hospitality of the "people" of Chijinwei.
In fact, this is the Yingxian Terrace specially built by Chijin City to welcome Emperor Longchang in the early years. When Longzuo was in great power in the north, Emperor Longchang had a plan to inspect Longzuo and plan for Chijin City.
It's just that the [Yingxian Terrace] was built, but after Emperor Longchang took a tour of Longzuo County, he went directly to Jinggangwei, and then went to Qingluo Sea to inspect the sea area, so he remembered
Princess Qingluo was so sad and in a bad mood that she drove directly back to Dragon City.
The result is that the Yingxian Platform that Chijin City spent a lot of money to build was in vain and was of no use. But the emperor is so willful, what can you do to him? You can't scold him in a memorial, right?
It can also be inferred from this that Emperor Longchang was actually quite willful when he was in his prime, but now, as the emperor's life is coming to an end, he acts with less and less scruples, and his moody and petty personality has become more and more unscrupulous.
Therefore, Yingxian Terrace became a facility for Chijin Guard to welcome other distinguished guests. However, as the Yan family declined, Yingxiantai has not been used for nearly a hundred years.
However, this time, after nearly a hundred years of silence, Yingxian Terrace was put into use again.
Since three days ago, the Yingxian Terrace has been decorated one after another. Now, the entire Yingxian Terrace is as clean as new, with flowers and colorful silk hanging on the side, which looks very grand.
There were already many people standing on the Yingxian Platform at this moment.
Among the Red Gold Guards, there are only a few who are qualified to go up to the Immortal Platform.
Among them are Duan Yangxia, the city guard of the Red Gold Guards, Liu Wenzhi, the heavenly ancestor of the Liu family of the seventh grade of Red Gold, Yan Yufei, the ancestor of the Zifu of the Yan family in Longzuo, Yan Feihong, the head of the Yan family, and Yan Yu, the contemporary Zifu species of the Yan family.
Jing, as well as some official figures of the city guard.
Around the welcome square, the heavily armed patrol battalion soldiers isolated the crowd of onlookers. On the city wall, the city defense troops stationed were also very energetic.
As everyone waited, time passed little by little.
Suddenly.
"hold head high!"
From the clouds in the sky came the clear and clear cries of the spiritual birds and cranes.
Immediately afterwards, several flying chariots broke through the clouds and appeared in the sight of the Chijin Guards. Under the guidance of the Chijin Guards, the flying chariots circled and landed on the Yingxian Platform.
Those flying chariots all bear the logo of Shouda Trading Company.
After settling down, a beautiful, elegant and mature woman walked out of the chariot first, followed by a group of young male and female staff and other guards in the chariot.
The woman at the head was wearing an improved purple brocade dress. Her temperament was elegant and noble, just like the blooming peonies. She was graceful and graceful, but not at all tacky.
Surrounded by a group of young men and women, she looked calm, her eyes were calm and powerful, and she had a majestic aura as she looked around. She was obviously someone who had been in a high position for a long time and had experienced many big scenes.
Less than two steps behind her, there was a Celestial Realm puppet that exuded a powerful aura. It was obviously there specifically to protect her safety.
This woman is none other than Gongsun Hui, the direct mother of the contemporary head of the Wang family.
Gongsun Hui was born in the direct lineage of the Gongsun family in Shanyang. She did not live a good life after marrying into the Wang family as her stepwife. Fortunately, her legitimate son Wang Shouzhe fought hard and not only turned the tide at the critical moment and reversed the decline of the Wang family, but also brought
A group of in-laws and families make money and grow together.
Over the past few decades, the Shanyang Gongsun clan has now become the "Changning" Gongsun clan, and the family rank has reached the seventh rank. It is unswervingly heading towards the sixth rank, and even the fifth rank Zifu can be expected.
.
It was also because of this that the current Gongsun family had already made up their minds and firmly embraced the Wang family. The contemporary patriarch, Gongsun Yan, admired his cousin Wang Shouzhe endlessly and looked up to him everywhere.
[Shuda Trading Company], as a trading firm jointly owned by the Wang family's in-law alliance and the Qian family, is the strongest bond of interest between the various families, apart from blood marriage.
Shouda Trading Company, which started as a high-end transportation company, generates a very scary amount of cash flow every year.
In addition to annual dividends, Shouda Trading Bank will also retain a lot of cash for development. In addition to Shouda Trading Bank's own business, it will also invest in some high-quality industries or merge.
In addition, Shouda Trading Company also purchased commercial properties and land in various places, and built giant turnover warehouses and accommodation-type restaurants.
This makes Shouda Trading Company like a little monster, constantly eating and growing, and in just a few decades it has developed into a behemoth.
Of course, there were various minor mistakes during this period.
After all, people are selfish, and there are all kinds of birds in the forest. As Shouda Trading Company expanded, the flaws in internal management issues were gradually magnified, and various small problems came one after another.
Therefore, Wang Shouzhe personally took action, called Qian Xuehan, and together they carried out drastic reforms in the internal structure of Shouda Trading Company.
The main direction of reform is to refer to the modern management plan, establish departments one by one, and build process specifications and strict related systems bit by bit through repeated trials.
Among them is a very important department called the [Finance Department].
The person in charge of the Finance Department is called the [Financial Director], who is in charge of all financial transactions of the entire Shouda Trading Company. In addition, the Finance Department also has the right to review and evaluate the financial status of various external investments or merger projects.
It can be said that the status of the financial director of Shouda Trading Company is extraordinary.
If serious or obscure financial loopholes are found during the review of some projects, the financial director has the right to directly call back or stop a project. If necessary, he can even convene a shareholders' meeting.
Such a key position should naturally be filled by someone from the Wang family, which currently holds the highest shareholding.
Before that, Gongsun Hui was one of the accountants of Shouda Trading Company. She was proficient in finance and was very sensitive to economics and numbers. Therefore, it was natural that she was promoted to the position of financial director by Wang Shouzhe.
At the beginning, Gongsun Hui just wanted to keep an eye on the accounts of Shouda Trading Company for the Wang family. She worked hard, but unexpectedly, she became more and more successful as she worked. Sometimes when she was unsure about something, she would often reply.
Jia discussed with Wang Shouzhe.
Although Wang Shouzhe was not a major in accounting in his previous life, he was in the era of information explosion. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, his relevant knowledge was not sophisticated, but it was better than extensive. Every time he put forward some ideas and suggestions, he would be regarded as a model by Gongsun Hui, and he gradually explored it.
Use it at work.
This made Gongsun Hui become more and more proficient in finance, and gradually developed a set of unique financial techniques and financial systems.
Let’s not talk about gossip for now.
It is only said that on the Yingxian Stage, the Yan family and the Chijin Guards welcomed Gongsun Hui and his party with great enthusiasm, and said that they had prepared a banquet with the highest etiquette to entertain them.
For the Yan family, Wang Shouzhe naturally would not give random help, but proposed a "package" solution. The main method was to use "Shouda Trading Company" as the economic main body to inject capital into various industries of the Yan family and transfer those
The industry was merged into Wang Shouzhe's grand plan for the Longzuo industry chain.
Once successful, the Yan family will not only be able to escape the predicament, but may also be able to reach a higher level.
If it fails, now that they have joined the Wang family, how can the Wang family watch the Yan family decline and be besieged?
And Gongsun Hui is not only the financial director of Shouda Trading Company, but also Wang Shouzhe's aunt. Looking at the entire Longzuo County, she is definitely a big shot. How dare the Yan family neglect her?
"Ancestor Yu Fei, the head of the Feihong family, Lord Duan Cheng Shou." Gongsun Hui glanced at the crowd with a steady and powerful gaze, and said calmly, "This time we are not here for a private visit. Although Shouzhe put forward the reason.
Shouda Trading Company invested in the strategic plan to reorganize the assets of Yan's various industries and establish subsidiaries. However, as the financial director of Shouda Trading Company, I need to be responsible for every shareholder."
"I have previously written to inform your family of relevant matters. I believe your family's accounting office must have prepared the account books for the past years. It is better for us to start work earlier, or to complete the account verification and asset review as soon as possible, so that the subsidiary can enter the normal operation stage.
"
The Yan family invited them again, but Gongsun Hui always insisted on business matters, so as a last resort, the Yan family had to let her go.
Soon, the financial department headed by Gongsun Hui entered the Yan family's main residence and reviewed a series of assets that were to be included in the capital injection and reorganization plan.
At first, the Yan family thought Gongsun Hui was just going through the motions, and they had never heard of all the financial jargon. However, they soon realized how terrifying Gongsun Hui was.
The team she brought is an elite financial team that she has spent decades gradually cultivating. They are all experts in asset auditing and project auditing.
"General Accountant Yan." Gongsun Hui said to an old man, "In your salt flat pasture, there are 20,000 salt flat sheep whose accounts are inconsistent. Please explain."
"General Accountant Yan, in your ceramics industry, there are obviously a large number of paid employees, and the productivity is very low. First, in the asset reorganization, all these personnel must be eliminated. Secondly, I will reduce the cost of your ceramics production.
The evaluation of the output value of the industry is not worthy of the large capital injection that our Shouda Trading Bank has spent."
"General Accountant Yan, as far as I know, your No. 5 Cinnabar Mine, No. 16 Aluminum Mine, and No. 29 Lingshi Mine have all been dug out. Why do they still appear in the asset list?"
She will not let go of every item, every doubt.
This is not the first time she has acquired or reorganized assets. She is very familiar with the twists and turns in those aristocratic families' properties. A family like this that has existed for thousands of years must have a lot of internal moths. If you don't pay attention, you will be fooled, and there will be water in the accounts.
It's quite big.
Cooperation is cooperation, support is support, but Shouda Trading Company is an investment, not a charity, and it will not indulge in the bad habits of some people within the Yan family.
Shouda Trading Company handles business and its accounts are always clear and transparent.
Subsequently, all the freeloaders, embezzlers, and bribe takers in the Yan family were unearthed by Gongsun Hui's team in a very short period of time.
These people are almost everywhere, and all the industries under the Yan family's name are not spared.
The Yan family's accounting team was going crazy, Feihong's head was so angry that he almost jumped up, and even Patriarch Yu Fei was a little confused.
I never expected that the Yan family was already in such a bad situation, and there would be so many moths underneath. They would not stop until the Yan family was completely eaten away~~!
"Investigate! No matter who it is, we will investigate it thoroughly!" Ancestor Yu Fei roared angrily, "If anyone dares to secretly resist or obstruct, I, Yan Yufei, will personally enforce the family law."
Ancestor Yu Fei attaches great importance to the cooperation with the Wang family, and believes that this is the hope for the Yan family to rise again. Now, the rot within the Yan family has been exposed in front of Wang Shouzhe's aunt, which has also made him lose face.
This also made him determined to rectify the Yan family's internal affairs.
Just when the Yan family in Longzuo was in a state of chaos, vitality gradually burst out from the slump and chaos, and the Wang family also began to gradually dominate Longzuo and stir up troubles in the world.
Almost the same time period.
Extraterritorial battlefield.
Unlike Daqian, which is prosperous and prosperous with rich water and grass, the air above the battlefields outside the territory is always shrouded in the mist of evil caused by the war, which is chilling and depressing.
The demonic energy diffused from outside the territory has also infected this land, and almost no grass grows on the ground. Even if there are occasionally some tenacious plants that survive on this land, they have also undergone strange changes under the influence of the demonic energy.
Change, become twisted and dangerous.
This place is desolate and dangerous, not suitable for human survival at all.
But here, it is the frontline for mankind to resist the invasion of monsters from outside the territory. It is precisely because of the existence of battlefields outside the territory and the brave fighting of countless people that monsters cannot invade this world, and humans can prosper and develop in their respective fields.
Live and work in peace and contentment.
There are many military camps scattered among the evil mist.
In these military camps, troops from different countries and different forces are stationed. Among them, there are even some strong men who come to participate in the war in their own names, under the names of different forces, and accumulate military exploits by killing enemies.
Hanging over one of the larger military camps is the Canglong flag representing Daqian.
This military camp is Da Gan's main base on the battlefield outside the territory. In addition to this military camp, Da Gan has many strongholds on the battlefield outside the territory. Once a war breaks out, support can be provided from all directions.
Inside the military camp.
In the square near the camp gate, there was a huge bronze pillar, and a huge demon corpse was nailed to the bronze pillar with a blood-stained spear.
It was a high-level demon whose entire body was wrapped in an exoskeleton.
It has been dead for a long time, and the huge thorns on its back have lost their luster. The metallic luster of the exoskeleton wrapped around the body has also been broken into pieces. Even the thick tail is only half left, but even so, Its body is still filled with a cold and majestic aura. Even though it has been dead for a long time, the flames are still monstrous and frightening.
High-level demons are powerful and tyrannical. They have been trained to the extreme. Their strength is equivalent to that of human beings in the supernatural realm. They are extremely difficult to deal with.
The demon on the bronze pillar is the trophy of Daqian's army. Military medals, nailed on this bronze pillar, can not only boost morale, but also serve as a deterrent to demons from outside the territory.
A light yellow halo diffused from the arrow towers on all sides, dispersing the evil mist in the camp and illuminating the surrounding area.
In the military camp, soldiers wearing black armor patrolled back and forth in an orderly manner, with sharp eyes and fierce aura.
The black armor on their bodies was thick and mottled, with ferocious barbs on their joints. It looked like they were forged for life and death fighting. Mysterious inscriptions were also carved on the armor, exuding mysterious aura fluctuations.
The strength of these soldiers is at the lowest level seven or eight of the Qi Refining Realm. The strength of the captains is almost all above the Lingtai Realm. The aura on their bodies is even more murderous and cold, with a strong murderous aura. Veterans who have been tempered for many years on the battlefield, the best among the best.
Besides them, there were many scattered Xuanwu monks walking around in the camp.
Different from the patrol soldiers wearing standard Xuanjia, the clothes they wear are obviously their own, they are in small groups and not organized. But the aura on their bodies is very strong, even those with low cultivation level in the Lingtai realm, Tian It is also common to see people in the environment.
Even powerful people from the Zifu Realm, who are respected in Daqian and are rarely seen, can be seen here from time to time.
Some of them gathered at the entrance of the camp, took out demon heads from the storage rings, and exchanged them for merits. Some of them were at the door of the warehouse, exchanging their merits for rewards. Some of them were injured and were walking to the alchemy room in the camp.
They did not belong to the Daqian official, but were Xuanwu monks who came to participate in the war voluntarily, and could exchange for merit by capturing demons. And the largest group of them came from Lingyun Holy Land.
Over the years, Lingyun Holy Land and the Daqian Royal Family have been able to check and balance each other and coexist with each other. It depends not only on the suppression of a Lingxu Realm powerful man, but also on the countless disciples of Lingyun Holy Land who have exchanged their strength and blood for their supremacy. meritorious deeds.
On the battlefield of the battle with demons from outside the territory, the one who shed the most blood and paid the heaviest price, apart from the Daqian Army, was the Lingyun Holy Land.
No matter which force or country they originally belong to, on the battlefield outside the territory, they are comrades-in-arms, colleagues, and the common guardians of human civilization.
Of course, people have selfish motives.
After all, we all belong to different forces. While jointly resisting foreign enemies, secret intrigues and intrigues are inevitable. This cannot be avoided anywhere.
At the beginning, Zhou Yuhang, a direct disciple of the Yuanshui people in the Longzuo Zifu Academy, was plotted against the enemy by a disciple of the Yinsha Sect and almost died on the battlefield. To this day, his injuries are still there. He was unable to fully recover and was still recovering from his injuries in Yuanshui Tianhu Lake.
Of course, Master Binglan and Master Changchun later went to the battlefield in person and helped him regain his position, making the other party pay a heavy price.
For countless years, similar things have happened on this extraterrestrial battlefield. But with powerful enemies on the side and the top experts of human civilization stationed on the battlefield, even the most scheming people must restrain themselves. , not going too far.
After all, when the Alliance was first established, there was a promise that no matter who dared to undermine the unity and stability of the Human Alliance, they would be killed without mercy!
On this battlefield of brutal fighting, although Daqian is not the strongest, he is still one of the pillars in the eight directions, supporting the stability of one side and holding up a sky for the entire human civilization.
Inside the Daqian camp, outside a certain tent with a general's flag hanging.
Four black-armored soldiers were guarding the entrance to the camp, with sharp eyes and a strong aura. They were always on alert, even in the camp.
At this time, a group of people suddenly walked quickly from the distance.
These people were all wearing thick black armor, and they looked fierce. Their armor was stained with blood, and their bodies were still filled with blood that had not completely dissipated. Many of them still had tragic injuries.
It was obvious that they had just come off the battlefield.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, their aura is more majestic, their armor is thicker and more sophisticated, and their aura is more mysterious and majestic. They are obviously not ordinary soldiers.
The armor of the leading young man even bears a dark golden dragon pattern. He is obviously from the royal family and has a noble status.
This young man was none other than Wu Chengsi, Prince of Kang County, one of the quasi-emperor sons of Daqian who was at the height of his power.
Beside him, there was a young man without armor, who was Gong Yangce who accompanied Prince Kang on the expedition.
His face was a little pale, and his white clothes were stained with blood, almost dyed dark red, but it was not his own blood, but the blood of the demon.
Along the way, the two of them were still talking excitedly about something.
Although there were many twists and turns in this battle and the consumption was very huge, the final result was an extremely beautiful victory. With this military exploit, both of them could benefit a lot.
You must know that not all the good things that can be exchanged for the merits of mankind are provided by Daqian. Among them, there are also many good things from the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty and the Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty.
In the camp over there in the Immortal Dynasty, you can even exchange for ten-thousand-year-old purple zhizhi, magical spiritual treasures, and treasures of this level. Those are really good things that even the powerful ones like them in the Purple Mansion Realm covet.
"See the Duke. See Master Xuanmiao."
The guard at the entrance of the camp had a stern look in his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head and performed a military salute, looking in awe.
"No gift."
King Kang waved his hand and dismissed the soldiers behind him, letting them rest and heal their wounds. He said goodbye to Gong Yangce and asked him to go back to rest, and then he opened the curtain and walked into the camp. .
This is his own tent.
After finally winning a big battle, he finally relaxed completely when he got here.
In the camp, a young man wearing a scribe's robe was sitting behind a billboard, writing something with his head down.
Seeing Prince Kang coming in, he stood up and saluted him, with a smile on his face and said: "Your Highness, congratulations on your victory. You have given us a big face this time. I heard that even the Immortal Dynasty Many people are paying attention to you."
"Uncle Fourteen, please stop teasing me."
King Kang took off his helmet, straightened his appearance, and then sat down opposite the young scribe. He smiled and said: "My achievements are considered outstanding in Daqian, but compared with the most powerful heroes in the Immortal Dynasty, It’s much inferior in comparison.”
This young scribe's name is Zhao Zhikun. He is a direct descendant of the Zhao family of the second rank of the Daqian Dynasty. He is also one of the magical species of the Zhao family. Although he looks like a young man, his actual age is more than three hundred years old. In terms of seniority, he is two generations higher than Prince Kang.
Zhao Jingyi, the princess of Prince Kang, is Zhao Zhikun’s direct niece and nephew.
This time King Kang won a great victory, and the news had already come back from the front line before he came back. As Zhao Zhikun's aide, there was no way he could not have received the news.
"I am writing a memorial letter to the court to ask for your merits." Zhao Zhikun also sat back, picked up the memorial letter he was writing and said with a smile, "With this great victory, you have made great achievements in military merit." Your resume is already very impressive. I think from now on, no one should be able to question His Highness’ ability in this regard. Those princes within the royal family who started their careers through military exploits will have a higher recognition of you and want to obtain more in the future. It will also be easier for them to support.”
Prince Kang nodded: "That's right. I won the battle beautifully. It's not in vain that I specially asked Gongyang Xiandi to go to the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty to find someone to refine the Dangpo Bell for me."
In fact, thanks to Dangpo Zhong, he was able to win such a beauty this time. Otherwise, with his original ability alone, although he may not lose, it would be very difficult to win such a beauty.
While talking, Zhao Zhikun took out another letter sealed with animal skin from the pile of documents on the bill, and handed it to Prince Kang: "By the way, here is a letter from home, sent by Jingyi. Listen to the letter. What the servant means, this book seems to be quite important, I don’t know what it is for.”
Prince Kang took the letter, opened it and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Zhao Zhikun was a little confused.
Prince Kang frowned and said nothing. He took the letter and continued to read it. After reading the entire letter, he turned back and stared at some of the contents and read them several times, chewing them carefully.
Seeing Prince Kang's reaction, Zhao Zhikun was filled with doubts, but he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait quietly.
After a while, King Kang took a deep breath and handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Zhikun. He picked up a pot of wine beside him, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one gulp.
Zhao Zhikun became more and more confused, and his hand movements were not slow. He immediately opened the letter and read it.
immediately.
His expression also changed.
"This Wu Yingji... In order to gain his support, you have been tolerant to him in every possible way. He refused to give you face several times, but you didn't care about him. He is still so ignorant!" Zhao Zhikun's face was dark and stern, his eyes were dark.
There was a hint of coldness, "This matter cannot be settled."
"Uncle Huang is, after all, the eldest son of Grandpa Six, and even this county king can't do anything to him. He knew this for sure, and that's why he was so unscrupulous." Prince Kang put down his wine glass, and his face didn't look very good. "
Fortunately, His Majesty's ancestors still favored us after all. They immediately issued an order to appease Jingyi and made Jingyi the second-grade Princess of the County, which can be regarded as saving a little face for us. And after all, the emperor's uncle is from the direct lineage, even if he no longer supports
It’s hard for me to support Wu Mingyuan openly, otherwise, let alone the ancestor of Dexin, Grandpa Six will not be able to pass the test."
"Your Highness, do you plan to just let it go?" Zhao Zhikun looked at Prince Kang.
"Of course we can't just let it go." King Kang lowered his eyes, a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, "Just because I can't help the emperor's uncle, doesn't mean I can't take care of others."
"You mean the Wang family?" Zhao Zhikun also reacted, picked up the letter again and looked at it a few times, his eyebrows slowly raised, "This Wang family is indeed not simple. He actually took action repeatedly in such a short period of time and made trouble.
There was such a big movement, which caught us off guard. Judging from their actions, this series of actions should not be impromptu, but planned in advance. We are afraid that they will use them as a stepping stone."
"This Wang family is indeed not to be underestimated. No wonder Gongyang Xiandi valued him so much before and tried to win over or suppress them several times. But I was blind and underestimated them." Prince Kang rubbed the wine glass in his hand, "However,
No matter how powerful the Wang family is, they are only a sixth-grade family, and they are nothing more than ants in front of the royal family. The most important thing now is to find a way to smooth out the negative impact caused by the betrayal of the emperor's uncle. Does the fourteenth uncle have any countermeasures for this matter?
?”
Zhao Zhikun pondered for a moment and said, "If you talk about this, I do have a plan."
"Oh? Uncle Fourteen, please tell me."
"When Aunt Xiqing married into the royal family, although something happened in the end, she was still the princess of Prince Yong'an and the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Therefore, the royal family owes me, the Zhao family, a great talent." Zhao Zhikun knocked on the table.
, said in deep thought, "Now, little princess Xuening is already fourteen years old."
"You mean... Yuan Qing?" King Kang's eyes lit up and he reacted instantly.
Naturally, Zhao Zhikun is not the only great genius of the Zhao family. In addition to him, the Zhao family also has a great genius who is being cultivated, named "Zhao Yuanqing". He just turned fifty this year and just broke through to the heavenly realm last year.
It was also because he was too young that he was not among the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People" in Shangjing. But in just thirty or forty years, he will surely become a famous figure in Shangjing like Wu Zhixing and others.
If you want to ask to marry Wu Xuening, then the only one among the Zhao family who can match her is Zhao Yuanqing.
As for the age difference between the two, it is a minor issue.
After all, it is very likely that the great genius will break through to the realm of supernatural power in the future. His lifespan is nearly two thousand years, and the age difference of more than thirty years is nothing at all.
"That's right." Zhao Zhikun nodded and analyzed, "Little Princess Xuening's mother is the eldest daughter of the third-grade Chen family, and her status is not low among the Chen family. As far as I know, the Chen family in Xue Ning
Princess Ning has invested a lot in her, and she probably wants to use this to consolidate the relationship between the Chen family and the royal family."
"Previously, when we were trying to win over the Chen family, Chen's attitude had always been somewhat ambiguous. This time, if we can marry the little princess Xuening for Yuan Qing, we will have indirectly established a connection with the Chen family. At that time, we only need to use some means.
, even if Mrs. Chen doesn’t want to take sides, she still has to stand in the same boat as us.”
"In addition, as far as I know, the relationship between Princess Xue Ning and Prince Zhixing is quite good. Using her as a link, we may be able to bring Prince An Ding, who is silently supporting Prince Zhixing behind him, onto our warship."
In the royal family, personal relationships are complicated.
Behind every great genius is one or even several top families. Even a great genius like Wu Zhixing who comes from a distant background also has powerful support behind him, and there is even a prince standing behind him.
As long as these relationships are utilized well, they can often have miraculous effects.
"Besides, I also have a plan on Wang's side that can kill him." Zhao Zhikun said again.
"Uncle Fourteen, please tell me."
"Although the Wang family has made a huge splash this time, it has a fatal flaw. All we need is this, this, and this..." Zhao Zhikun lowered his voice and whispered a few words into Prince Kang's ear.
Prince Kang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded frequently.
Soon, the two called Gong Yangce again, and the three of them discussed in secret and quickly finalized some details.
At the end, King Kang looked at Zhao Zhikun and Gong Yangce and said solemnly: "I came here after asking for the emperor's order to fight on the battlefield outside the territory. I am not allowed to return without your majesty's order. I'm afraid I will have to trouble the fourteenth army for this matter."
Uncle and good brother Gong Yang."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhikun and Gong Yangce stood up together, cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this matter will be taken care of by the two of us."
…
Almost at the same time.
Imperial Palace, Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
On the large desk made of Wanzailing wood, the famous "Picture of the Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty" is lying in pieces on the desk.
They are pieces here and there, some are wrinkled, some are in pieces, and it is impossible to put them together into a complete picture.
The most outrageous thing is that in that sunset, where the glow is brilliant, the smell of urine is unbridled.
Emperor Longchang's nose twitched, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.
His eyes were as sharp as knives, he stared at Yao Chengchao and sneered: "Chengchao, is this my "Afterglow Picture of the Divine Dynasty"?"
Yao Chengchao was sweating profusely and his face was pale, but he could only bite the bullet and salute: "Your Majesty, this, this is the "Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty"."
"But your majesty, please listen to my explanation. This, this is all the good deeds of those little wolves. Not only did your majesty's "Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty" suffer, many rare goods were destroyed, and even our cloud ray flying boat was destroyed.
They almost fell into the hurricane ocean due to a malfunction. Our Yao family suffered heavy losses this time."
While speaking, Yao Chengchao pointed angrily at the five "culprits" - little wolf cubs.
The five little wolf cubs sat obediently, with their tongues hanging out, and their pure eyes full of innocence. They couldn't even understand what the human being was accusing them of.
"Haha~" Emperor Longchang sneered, "Are you [Yao's Air Transport] planning to default on the bill? It's obviously your fault for poor custody, but you have to blame it on the little wolf cubs. With your strength, you will even connect these little wolves
Can’t you even watch it?”
The five little wolf cubs nodded repeatedly. The kind old man was right. They were just a group of innocent and innocent little wolf cubs. What could be wrong with them?
"No, no, no." Yao Chengchao hurriedly shook his head and said, "This junior is just explaining the reason to Your Majesty. We [Yao's Air Transport] have always adhered to the principle of credibility first. This time, we failed to keep the money and should compensate Your Majesty."
Our Yao family will not lose a cent, and we will compensate twice the highest standard."
Although the Yao family is also a first-class family, and the ancestor Lingxu is in charge of the family, in terms of overall strength, it is still far behind the Wu family who controls a country.
What's more, the Wu family has a long heritage and a profound background, and it is difficult for the Yao family to offend them.
double?
Emperor Longchang raised his eyebrows: "Am I the emperor who needs your money? What I want is Master Ji's masterpiece "The Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty"."
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules and the contract." Yao Chengchao kept wiping his sweat and said, "Due to various reasons, accidents may occur during cargo consignment. At most, our Yao family can only pay double, no, triple the price for compensation."
After all, the Yao family is also a first-class family. Although they cannot afford to offend the Wu family, they still have their own background. They still have to adhere to the principles that should be adhered to, and they will not just follow what Emperor Longchang says.
Emperor Longchang ignored him, but looked at the five little wolf cubs with interest: "You five little wolves are so naughty and have such amazing destructive power at a young age. It seems that you all have good talents and potential.
Which of you is just a wolf?"
Five little ones, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all shake their heads.
"Your Majesty, according to the shipping documents, the consignor is a girl. These five wolf cubs were probably raised by that girl. They must have recognized the girl as their alpha wolf." Yao Chengchao explained in a low voice.
"Oh, which girl has the ability to get five Silver Moon Wolfs at once? And judging from their appearance, their bloodline is quite pure. Such wolf cubs, even if they are placed in the Silver Moon Wolf Clan,
They will also be trained as leader reserves. It will not be easy to gather five." Emperor Longchang asked casually with some interest.
"Back to Your Majesty." Yao Chengchao explained, "According to the information registered in the entrustment document, it is a girl named Wang. It is said that it was consigned to a small place in Longzuo County called Zhen Wang's small family."
Wang family? Longzuo County?
As soon as these keywords came out, Emperor Longchang's nerves suddenly became sensitive.
"Wang family from Changning?" He almost blurted out.
"Yes, yes, it's the Wang family in Ping'an Town, Changning Wei. The consignee is a man named Wang Shouzhe." Yao Chengchao pondered his thoughts and said, "This name sounds like someone from a low-income family of eighth or ninth grade. I don't know where to go.
What kind of luck is it that a relative sent them a war pet of this level? Any one of these five little wolf cubs would be sold at a sky-high price."
"The enemy's road is narrow, the enemy's road is narrow~~!" Emperor Longchang's face suddenly turned as black as coal, "Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe, you are really my nemesis. I finally bought what I wanted, but your little wolf
The kid was completely ruined."
Well, now you no longer have to worry about where to hang up...
Wait, that’s not what happened!
"Hmph, Wang Shouzhe, I and you are at odds with each other!" An idea flashed in Emperor Longchang's mind, and he sneered suddenly, "Cheng Chao, I will detain these five little wolf cubs first, and let the consignee come to me to get them.
"
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules..."
"What I say is the rule!"
"If you don't accept it, ask your ancestors to come and beat me up if you don't accept it~~ Come on, throw this guy Yao Chengchao out!"
