"Ning Xi, I asked you to come here this time because my fourth brother sent someone to deliver the letter."
After the gossip, Wang Shouye's expression suddenly became serious. He took out an encrypted storage disk from the storage ring and handed it to Ning Xi.
The content mainly talks about some follow-up actions in Nanye Divine Continent and the delivery of some supplies.
After Wang Ningxi carefully read Shouzhe's letter, he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa's operation in Nanye Divine Continent went very smoothly, which is really gratifying." "This Thunder Holy Flame was specially photographed by your grandpa.
Yours." Wang Shouye took out another ball of holy fire that kept flashing with thunderous light, and handed it to him with a smile, "Now, you don't have to envy my holy fire anymore."
【Description】
nice one.
Wang Ningxi's eyes lit up, she put away the holy flame with great joy, and decided to refine it after returning.
"You also heard what my fourth brother said. Development is the last word. Fourth brother and the others have to worry about strategy and layout. Our task is to handle the logistics work well in Luojing." Wang Shouye's expression was serious again.
He stood up and said, "The war between us and the demons is a protracted battle, and the final battle is still about comprehensive strength."
"I understand, and I will definitely live up to my ancestor's expectations." Wang Ningxi nodded and said with great solemnity.
Afterwards, the two people further discussed and refined the next policies and actions.
It was not until an hour later that Wang Ningxi finally left.
However, as soon as Wang Ningxi left, Dongfang Lingrou and Empress Luojia ran into Wang Shouye's study from the other side.
The two of them didn't quarrel at all, they just had to stay on top of each other in everything they did, and the atmosphere was quite a bit confrontational, which gave Wang Shouye a huge headache.
Alas~ When will days like this end~
He just wants to practice some elixirs quietly. Is it so difficult?
Half a month later.
In the outer suburbs of Luojing North City, Ji's flourishing workshop.
Ximen Yaoqing returned to the workshop and was about to pack his things in his locker. However, as soon as he entered the door, he was caught by a fat "middle-aged man".
"You bitch, you dare to come back? One month! For a whole month, you didn't reply to messages or receive communications. Do you still care about the workshop and me as the supervisor? Do you not want to work anymore?!"
The "middle-aged man" was obviously not in a good mood, and he spat at him.
The angry roar immediately attracted many colleagues to watch from a distance.
Some of these people obviously knew the inside story, and their eyes were full of gloating, but there were also many who had always had a good relationship with Ximen Yaoqing, and their eyes when they looked at him were full of worry.
"Director Hou, I just felt bored and went out to relax. I admit that it was wrong of me to leave without saying goodbye." Ximen Yaoqing endured his emotions and tried to keep his tone calm, "But I came back this time to resign and take back my storage.
Cabinet of personal belongings."
"You...resign?"
The middle-aged manager Hou, who still wanted to continue scolding, was stunned.
Obviously, Ximen Yaoqing's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.
He looked Ximen Yaoqing up and down, then curled his lips and showed a disdainful sneer: "How brave you are. Okay, you can resign if you want. I want to see where this huge Luo Jing City is.
Jia Gongfang dares to accept you."
The Ji family of the Ancient God Clan is no joke. Even if a branch family raises its name, others will inevitably have to give in. It is too easy to ban a small weapon refiner.
Ximen Yaoqing didn't want to talk nonsense and said calmly: "There's no need for Director Hou to worry about it. Xingwang Workshop still owes me half a year's wages totaling fifty spirit stones. I'd like to trouble Director Hou to settle the account."
"Wages? You still dare to ask for wages?" Manager Hou screamed as if his tail was stepped on, "Because you disappeared, the workshop lost at least a thousand spiritual stones. I have already treated you well without making you pay.
Come on. Get out of here, get out of here right now."
"You rely on my wages?" Ximen Yaoqing's eyes were filled with anger, but he still managed to hold back his anger and said coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will sue the government?"
"Sue~ If you have the guts, go ahead and sue." Director Hou said in a sarcastic tone, "Just so you know what the surname of Luo Jing's god is."
Ximen Yaoqing's face was uncertain for a while, but he finally decided to endure it. As long as he worked hard at Dongxia Military Industry in the future, he would not be afraid of this loss. But he just turned around and was about to leave Xingwang Workshop in peace.
Manager Hou's sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind him: "He is indeed a loser. What kind of future can a piece of shit have if he doesn't even dare to fart even after his girlfriend was robbed?"
"What did you say?"
Ximen Yaoqing's eyes were red, and he turned around and pounced like an enraged bull.
Although Director Hou is also a cultivator in the Heavenly Realm, one look at his figure shows that his training is rather perfunctory and lazy, and his combat power is mediocre. Ximen Yaoqing was furious again, giving him no time to react.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Ximen Yaoqing successfully suppressed Director Hou and punched him in the head.
"Ximen Yaoqing, are you crazy?!"
"Crazy, crazy, Ximen Yaoqing, stop it!"
The colleagues who were watching did not expect that things would develop to this point. Their expressions changed wildly and they all exclaimed.
Several people rushed forward and tried to pull the two away, but were severely thrown away by Ximen Yaoqing.
The entire Xingwang Workshop was in chaos.
Ten days later.
Luojing North City Suburban Public Security Bureau.
Ximen Yaoqing, who was still injured, lowered his head and followed Wang Keying out of the gate of the Public Security Bureau with a downcast look on his face.
His eyes were frightened and his tone was full of frustration: "Miss Keying, I really didn't expect that this matter would disturb you and cause you to come all the way to bail me out. If this matter affects you, I will resign.
It’s hard to escape the blame.”
When she first received the news, Wang Keying was indeed a little angry. Such a big incident happened to the person she was responsible for recruiting just after joining the company, which would inevitably affect her performance and may even affect her family's merits.
The latter is what she values most. There are too many treasures she wants to exchange for in the family treasury.
But at this moment, her mood was quite calm.
"I have already read the file." Wang Keying said calmly, "And I have also checked with your colleagues in the workshop to understand the situation. Although you were a little impulsive in this matter, it can be considered excusable.
Forget it this time, I don’t want to worry about it too much. After you quickly handle the remaining matters, go back and report for training immediately."
"Yes, Miss Keying, I will definitely work harder." Ximen Yaoqing was ashamed and grateful.
Just talking.
A luxurious flying chariot pulled by two seventh-order luan birds suddenly fell from the sky and landed not far from Ximen Yaoqing.
I saw a young girl from the heavenly realm flying out of the chariot and landing in front of Ximen Yaoqing.
She gave him an extremely complicated look: "I heard about you, you are too impulsive."
"I…"
Ximen Yaoqing opened his mouth, glanced at the flying chariot from a distance, and then at Cui'er who was dressed in colorful clothes, but his heart was filled with bitterness and he couldn't say anything. Seeing this, Wang Keying stopped and retreated to the corner.
Inside, he folded his arms and half-closed his eyes, waiting patiently for Ximen Yaoqing to deal with his personal matters.
"Actually, I originally asked Mr. Zhou to bail you out." Cui'er sighed, with a hint of regret and sadness in her voice that she didn't know she had. "By the way, I also want to take this opportunity to talk to you about the matter.
It’s clear. Yaoqing, you are a good person. It’s me who’s wrong. I don’t want to live a hard life anymore. I’m not willing to go back to my hometown in such a dejected manner and be laughed at.”
Ximen Yaoqing's Adam's apple rolled, he smiled with difficulty, nodded and said: "Tui'er, you have the right to choose the life you want. I hope you can live a better life, and I wish you success."
"I'm leaving."
Chapter 100: Go ahead, go ahead
Cui'er gritted her teeth and then got on the flying chariot without looking back. The flying chariot shot straight into the sky and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Looking at this scene, Wang Keying's expression was slightly complicated.
On the one hand, she somewhat sympathized with Ximen Yaoqing's experience, and on the other hand, she was also somewhat glad that she was born into the Wang family.
Even if she has ambitions and ideals in her heart, she only needs to work hard to be herself, instead of taking another shortcut like that girl who couldn't bear failure and pressure.
"Miss Keying, I'm telling you to watch a joke." Ximen Yaoqing smiled reluctantly and saluted Wang Keying apologetically.
"Come on." Wang Keying nodded slightly at him, with an encouraging smile on her face.
"I will definitely do it." Ximen Yaoqing's eyes gradually became firmer, "Before leaving, there is one last thing to do."
As he spoke, he turned on his communication watch, went through a series of operations, and sent a message to all the colleagues he knew in his circle of friends and the weapon refiners he had worked with: "I have joined the Dongxia Military Industry Group. More money, less work, better leadership.
.”
By the way, he also included his salary and various benefits.
In an instant, his circle of friends exploded, and a lot of private messages poured into his communication watch. Some expressed envy, jealousy, and hatred, and countless people asked in private messages how to get a job in Dongxia Military Industry and what are the benefits?
Not really that good blah blah blah.
Ximen Yaoqing responded very patiently.
This is his purpose.
In addition to relatives and friends, the most numerous people in his circle of friends are fellow craftsmen from various crafting workshops.
Those with potential will naturally be lured away, and those without ability and potential will also be lured away.
It makes them unable to continue their current job with peace of mind.
At the same time, he also gave a big middle finger in reply to Director Hou who sent him the furious message!
Ximen Yaoqing's little story is just a small episode, but since Dongxia Military Industry started recruiting workers, there have been more and more similar episodes, gradually stirring up a violent whirlwind in the Luojing weapon refining world.
It’s another Umrah meeting.
The Ji family ancestor directly attacked Wang Ningxi in front of all the courtiers and the Cangping Emperor: "You Wang family have gone too far! This is vicious competition, this is naked targeted poaching. Your Majesty, this matter
You can't just ignore the matter. If this continues, the entire Luojing will be messed up and everyone will be in danger!"
Judging from the red face and thick neck of the ancestor of the Ji family, it was obvious that he was angry about this incident.
Now Marshal Ji, the ancestor of the Ji family, is struggling to withstand the demon army on the front line. The Cangping Emperor did not give any face to him, so he could only rub his head with a headache and persuade Wang Ningxi: "Ning Xi, I am
Although the emperor understands your determination and purpose of establishing Dongxia Military Industry, are the wages and welfare conditions too high? It is better to save some money and indirectly reduce the cost."
"Go back to Your Majesty." Wang Ningxi handed over his hands with leisure, "Our Wang family's business philosophy is that every employee is a family member. Since they are family members, we naturally hope that they can live a good life instead of depriving them of the salary they deserve.
.”
"Taking a step back, the salary standards of Dongxia Military Industry are based on the standards of our Shenwu Changning Weapon Refining General Division, and many of the management and technical talents are directly transferred from Wang's Weapon Refining General Directorate.
If the salary of Dongxia Military Industry is too low and there is no development potential, how can our excellent management talents, weapon refining talents, and R&D talents be willing to join Dongxia Military Industry? By then, Dongxia Military Industry will be an empty shell."
As soon as this statement came out, Emperor Cangping became even more troubled: "We can't implement two sets of salaries.
Standard? Your Wang family's talents are recruited according to high standards, and newly recruited employees are paid according to Luo Jing's salary standards."
"Your Majesty!" Wang Ningxi looked at God Emperor Cangping as if he were a fool, and his voice unconsciously raised an octave, "Equal pay for the same work, different fate for the same post. This move will not only chill people's hearts.
It will also encourage the privileged mentality of our own young people, which will harm them."
"If things go on like this, Dongxia Military Industry will definitely become disorganized and disintegrated. If His Majesty insists, we, the General Director of the Wang Family's Weapon Refining Company, will abdicate and make way for others. Whoever is capable of doing the work will be allowed to do it."
These words made the Cangping God Emperor blush
His face turned dark red, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, and his tone became hard: "I also admit that what you said makes sense, so I will follow your ideas."
He couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart. After all, Wang Ningxi was born in a technical background and really didn't understand the ways of the world.
For a while, God Emperor Cangping missed Wang Fugui a little, who was understanding of people and the world, and spoke nicely.
"His Majesty!"
The ancestor of the Ji family became anxious when he heard this.
However, just as he was about to speak again, God Emperor Cangping retorted: "We are all refining weapons, and we are all taking orders for military industry. Under the same quality standards, why can Dongxia Military Industry offer high wages? You Ji family
But it doesn’t work? If you Ji family can’t do it, then don’t do it and transfer it to Wang family’s Weapon Refining Director-General.”
"If you don't seek progress, how can you still have the nerve to cry to me? I advise you all to learn management and production experience from Dongxia Military Industry. Don't always stick to the same old ways, otherwise you will be eliminated sooner or later."
After saying that, God Emperor Cangping didn't bother to care about the ugly expression on Ji's ancestor's face and walked away directly.
Originally, this kind of purely commercial competition was the business of each major family.
Unless something bad happened, it wouldn't be his, the God-Emperor's, turn to worry about it.
He asked and gave Ji Taichang some face.
If Ji continues to act on her own laurels and suffers consequences in the future, that is Ji's own business, what does it have to do with him?
same time period.
The former world-destroying demonic realm.
Things have not been good on the front lines these years.
Although the Military God Ji Taichang has tried his best to stop the demon army and gained some small local advantages, the overall battle situation is still one of losing ground. In just a few decades, the previous advantage has been lost.
Lost most of it.
But even so, Dongxia's army is still struggling to maintain itself.
In the former world-destroying demonic realm, there was a heavenly lake named [Immortal Breathing Heavenly Lake].
The area of Xianxi Tianhu is not particularly large among Tianhu, but the scenery is very beautiful, especially when the tide of Tianhe rises and falls, Tianhu will be filled with light and mist, making the entire Tianhu
It looks like a fairyland.
It is also because of this that it got the name [Xianxi Tianhu].
If the entire Demon Realm of Destruction is divided into five rings, Xianxitian Lake is approximately located on the third ring line, and from the perspective of orientation, it is relatively close to the direction of Dongxia.
Nowadays, the headquarters base of Dongxia Army, headed by Pingtian God King Ji Taichang, is located next to Xianxi Tianhu.
now.
In the largest fortress in the main base, there is a huge starry sky sand table.
It is running slowly, and the energy light belts representing the Milky Way are emitting fluorescence. Small worlds like transparent bubbles are scattered near the light belts, with various colored marks floating next to them. Each mark is equipped with micro information, among which
Some markers even move slowly.
Beside the sand table, a group of counselors were busy performing their duties.
Ji Taichang, the King of Pingtian God, stood next to the starry sky sand table with the best view, looking up to study the various information displayed on the sand table.
In just a few decades, he seemed to have aged thousands of years.
There were suddenly a lot more white hairs on his head, the wrinkles on his forehead and at the corners of his eyes were obviously deepened, and his whole person looked extremely tense and tired, except for his pair of deep eyes, which were still as sharp as ever.
He put his hands behind his back and stared at the sand table. From time to time, one after another battle report came to his ears that was either unfavorable or asking for help.
His expression was as cold as ice: "How much longer can we hold on?"
The counselors under his command glanced at each other, and an old man among them walked out slowly: "Back to the Generalissimo, according to the current situation, if we don't have reinforcements arriving, we can last for another thirty years at most! After thirty years, we will not be able to
If you don’t withdraw from the Void Sea battlefield, the war will spread to the Dongxia Divine Dynasty’s homeland!”
"Generalissimo, does your Majesty still insist on the peace strategy?" A confidant general under Ji Taichang asked in a hoarse voice, "The demon offensive is so powerful, and they have occupied everything.
Advantage, even if we can sue for peace, I'm afraid we will have to pay a huge price! By then, even if the other party breaks the contract, there is nothing we can do! How can His Majesty be so confused?!"
In fact, there were many people who had the same thoughts as him. After hearing what he said, several people immediately looked at him, as if they wanted to observe the reaction of the generalissimo.
"Bastard!" Ji Taichang angrily scolded, "How can you speculate on His Majesty the God Emperor's thoughts? As soldiers, we only need to obey."
The glances directed towards him were immediately withdrawn.
"Generalissimo, I am not speculating on His Majesty the Divine Emperor." The voice of the confidant general also immediately lowered his voice, but his tone was a little aggrieved, "I just heard that the reason why His Majesty is seeking peace is because he is the daughter of the Shenwu Wang clan.
The sycophant Wang Fugui is bewitching and instigating, and Wang Fugui’s peace envoy to the demon clan will soon arrive at our base camp headquarters. What my subordinates want to say is that it is better to imprison Wang Fugui.” “What are you doing?
Force Marshal Miyamoto to rebel?" Ji Taichang's sharp eyes stared at him suddenly, and said coldly, "Come here, take him down, punish him thirty times with [Holy Thorn Whip], and hang it at the gate of the fortress to show the public, as a warning to others.
.”
"yes!"
A group of personal guards immediately swarmed out and quickly took the confidant general down, whipped him and hung him in front of the marshal's tent.
The confidant general probably also knew that what he said was a bit too much. Although he was beaten and hung up, he did not resist, but seemed very depressed.
Other people in the headquarters base also understood the generalissimo's attitude. Although they still had discussions and complaints in private, they generally calmed down a lot. In this way, another five or six days passed.
The [Peace Envoy] fleet led by Wang Fugui finally arrived at the base camp of Xianxi Tianhu.
To show his solemnity, Ji Taichang personally greeted the envoy and invited the group directly into the marshal's fortress.
This time, in addition to the leader Wang Fugui, the members of the [Heqiu Division] were also accompanied by a holy king of the Xuanyuan clan [Holy King Hengqi]. In addition, the [Great Sage Swallowing the Sea] of the Shengkun clan
Sheng Yao Kun, Wang Zongkun of the Wang family, etc. also came.
There is no doubt that in this mission, Holy King Hengqi is the nominal envoy, while Wang Fugui is actually the nominal deputy envoy.
Chapter 100: Go ahead, go ahead
This is not surprising. The cultivation level of the envoys of the peace-seeking mission must not be lower than the Daluo realm in any case, otherwise the demons may think that Dongxia is playing tricks on them. And the Holy King Hengqi is the Xuanyuan clan
There are only a few strong men in the late Da Luo realm, with tyrannical fighting prowess. Even among the many holy kings of the Xuanyuan clan, they have a very high status.
With him as the official envoy, it was possible to show that Dongxia attached great importance to the "peace seeking" matter. However, according to the will of Emperor Cangping, Wang Fugui was the one who really made the decision in the envoy.
The main mission of Saint King Hengqi during this trip is to protect Wang Fugui.
According to the instructions of God Emperor Cangping before leaving, if the critical moment comes, Holy King Hengqi will do whatever it takes to get Wang Fugui back.
"Marshal Ji." Saint King Hengqi noticed the general hanging in front of the fortress and asked casually, "May I ask what this general has done that he should be punished and then hanged in public?"
"Holy King Hengqi, I blame Ji for being lax with his subordinates. This person dared to utter arrogant words questioning His Majesty's national policy of seeking peace. He is really deceiving the public with his evil words." Ji Taichang said seriously, "I hung him up to let others
People should be careful with their words and deeds to avoid causing conflicts."
As soon as this statement came out, many counselors and generals in the camp all fixed their eyes on Wang Fugui, as if this person was the real female cadre who deceived everyone!
Under his burning eyes, Wang Fugui smiled calmly: "It is not the style of our Dongxia Dynasty to be punished for words. Marshal Ji is implying that His Majesty is ignorant and has no plans. He is a person who can bewitched by a few slanderous words.
A foolish king?"
A certain counselor stood up and glared at Wang Fugui: "Your Majesty the Messenger is indeed very sharp-tongued and clever in his words. The world will have its own fair judgment on whether this matter is right or wrong."
"You are so impudent, shut up." Ji Taichang glanced at the counselor coldly, "Who are you qualified to evaluate the messenger of wealth? He is a military god who has been on the battlefield since he was a child and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats."
"A military god who has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats?" Immediately,
Some generals sneered and said, "It's just
It’s just a small fight in the small world of Shenwu, but he actually dares to call himself the ‘God of War’. Besides, God knows if his achievements were touted by the King of Shenwu himself, so how could he be so successful?”
"The envoy of Wealth and Honor advocates for peace, doesn't it mean that we soldiers are dissatisfied with our incompetence in fighting?" Another counselor slowly said, "Since the envoy of Wealth and Honor is known as the 'God of War', why not just talk about the current situation and how to break it."
Everyone's words to each other seemed to throw Wang Fugui into the fire, with the meaning of "You dislike our marshal for not being able to fight, but you are the one who can do it." The Holy King Hengqi on the side was slightly shuddered.
This is because the army is dissatisfied with Wang Fugui and deliberately wants to make him look bad. If he cannot pass this level, I am afraid that the demon clan will encounter huge obstacles when sending envoys.
He recalled His Majesty's words, and immediately wanted to bite the bullet and talk over him. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Wang Fugui suddenly stood up, cupped his hands around, and said: "Everyone, you and I are serving the country.
It’s just that everyone has different methods.”
"Wang Fugui! Who can be like a sycophant like you!" A fierce general couldn't help but jump out immediately and scolded angrily, "We are all soldiers who are not afraid of death and can sacrifice our lives for the country at any time.
.You are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, who only wants to beg for mercy and peace."
"Okay." Wang Fugui said with a "tolerant" face, as if he was being forced to fight back, "You guys don't fight well, and you have a really bad temper. Since you want me to give you advice, then I will come.
Give me some pointers."
As soon as this statement came out, the entire audience fell silent.
Saint King Hengqi felt his heart pounding, secretly thinking that it was not good.
Isn’t this just scolding the Generalissimo’s command to his face?
