……
"Uncle Jinhuan, what happened?" Huangfu Deyun was a little frightened and felt bad.
There have been so many recent changes that people are often caught off guard.
"Hmph~ See for yourself!"
Huangfu Jinhuan looked extremely ugly and handed the secret letter to Huangfu Deyun.
After Huangfu Deyun read it carefully, his expression suddenly changed: "No wonder the Ping An Wang family dared to join forces with the Changning Xu family to deal with us. It turns out that they have made huge breakthroughs in silk reeling technology and textile technology. ."
"Although the price of raw silk has more than tripled due to competition between the two sides, they can still make a fortune due to technological breakthroughs. No wonder, no wonder they still dare to compete with us! Damn it~~~"
He suddenly panicked.
This time the bet was placed on the cooperation with the Ji family. Although the Tianren Huangfu family was secretly leading it, in fact, their former Ma Huangfu family also had high hopes for this and invested almost all the funds.
Once it fails, the former Ma Huangfu family will definitely be severely weakened, and the family fortune that they have worked hard to save for hundreds of years will disappear in one fell swoop.
And that's not the worst.
The worst thing is that not only did the two families join forces, they also roped in the Jinsha Xu family.
There was originally a tributary in Jinsha Town. Because the river sand in that area contained gold, it once attracted many families to hunt for gold in Jinsha Town.
That place was once extremely chaotic and there were countless battles. However, hundreds of years have passed, and the gold sands in Jinsha Town have long been mined. In addition, the land is barren, and most places are not suitable for planting, and they have gradually become desolate.
Only the Xu family in Jinsha still sticks to that place and slowly runs the family. Now, relying on his own ability, he has slowly established a firm foothold.
"If what is said in the secret letter is true." Huangfu Deyun's face was solemn and gloomy, "Ping An Wang's new technology can actually use waterwheels as power to process raw cocoons and draw them into raw silk. That poor place in Jinsha Town is because of Jinsha Because of the river, with criss-crossing waterways, fast currents and large areas of wasteland, it is the most suitable place for building silk reeling and weaving workshops."
Huangfu Jinhuan sneered: "Wang Shouzhe of the Ping An Wang family is really an amazing capable person. I originally thought that after those people from Zifu Academy left, I would slowly make arrangements to deal with them, but I didn't expect them to Dare to jump out and go against us. In that case, don’t blame us for being ruthless."
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Huangfu Jinhuan's eyes.
"Come here, please bring Mr. Yin over."
"Yes, Master." A personal attendant immediately took the order and left.
"Mr. Yin?!" Huangfu Deyun was startled, with a worried look in his eyes, "Uncle Jinhuan Clan, the direct disciple of Zifu Academy is still in charge of disaster relief in our Changning Guard. Please ask Mr. Yin to take action. No..."
"The more it is at this time, the less likely we are to be suspected. What's more, now that the matter has come to this, do we still have any choice?" Huangfu Jinhuan's eyes were gloomy, "If this matter cannot be settled, Mrs. Ji is very easy to get along with." The owner? Her patience is not good, and we cannot bear the anger of the Longzuo Ji family."
Huangfu Deyun's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Don't worry about Deyun." Huangfu Jinhuan spoke to comfort him, "Although the matter between the Xu family and the Wang family is disgusting to us, but think about it from another angle, as long as it is handled properly, the two families will do everything for us. Wedding clothes."
"Think about it, if we can get more powerful silk reeling technology and textile technology, as well as the batch of raw silk raw materials they spent huge sums of money to hoard, we can develop and strengthen ourselves through cooperation with Ji's. In the future , not to mention the sixth-grade aristocratic family, even the fifth-grade Zifu aristocratic family is qualified to rush forward."
After saying this, Huangfu Jinhuan’s eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
He was not willing to be just a monk in the Lingtai realm for the rest of his life. He also wanted to rush to the Heavenly Realm to see the unique scenery.
If he had another chance to peek into the Zi Mansion, he would be content in this life.
Similarly, these words also brought a lot of excitement to Huangfu Deyun.
Which family doesn’t want to move up and achieve higher status, strength and power!
If the Changning Huangfu clan has the opportunity to become a sixth-rank family, then their former Ma Huangfu clan will be eligible to become a seventh-rank family, and all the clan members in the family will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven.
Not more than a moment.
The personal attendant led a man in black robes in.
The man in black robe had an ordinary temperament, but his face covered by the hood was slightly pale, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time.
But if you look carefully, you will find that his eyes are almost without any fluctuation, just like the cold water in the deep pool of ten thousand years, and it is terrifyingly silent.
As soon as this person arrived, Huangfu Jinhuan and Huangfu Deyun both stood up and bowed to him: "I have met Mr. Yin."
Mr. Yin's ancient and unwavering eyes glanced at them indifferently, and his tone was calm and cold: "Huangfu Jinhuan, what is the result of the investigation that was entrusted to you a few days ago?"
Huangfu Jinhuan said hurriedly: "Mr. Yin, it's not like you don't know that Fang Youan, a direct disciple of Zifu Academy, is currently in charge of our Changning Guard. There are some things that I really don't dare to investigate in a big way. However, there are already some things. The clues are clear. As long as you give me some more time, I will be able to find out who robbed the young master’s treasure."
"Humph~"
Mr. Yin snorted with a smile on his face: "Huangfu Jinhuan, it's been almost three months since this happened, but you haven't even found out anything about it. If my young master comes to Changning Guard in person, what are you still doing?" If we fail to find out the results, you and I will not get any benefits!"
"Mr. Yin, don't worry." Huangfu Jinhuan said with a serious face, "I will definitely take the young master's matter seriously. However, I have something here, and I would like to ask Mr. Yin for help."
As he spoke, Huangfu Jinhuan explained to Mr. Yin one by one what he wanted to do.
Mr. Yin rolled his eyelids slightly and said coldly: "Huangfu Jinhuan, you just said that there are direct disciples of Zifu Academy in Changning Guard to direct disaster relief, but you want us to take action on your behalf for committing such a big mistake. Case. Do you think too highly of me, or do you underestimate the direct disciples of Zifu Academy?!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Yin." Huangfu Jinhuan said confidently, "Since I have decided to let you take action, I will naturally arrange everything. My ancestor has made some small achievements in practicing the "Red Dragon True Art" recently. I just came out of seclusion. I just want to take this opportunity to do my best as a landlord and reward the people of Zifu Academy."
"This time, we will not only invite people from the Zifu Academy, but also banquet all the heads of the eighth-grade families, including the Changning Xu family, Ping'an Wang family, and the former Ma Huangfu family. In this way, you will You can take advantage of the situation."
"In short, we are taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared. With the abilities of Mr. Yin and your subordinates, and the two former Lingtai realm ancestors of the former Ma Huangfu clan working together to assist, is there any reason why this matter cannot be done?"
According to his speculation, there are at most two or three Lingtai realm monks sitting in the Xu family's workshop in Jinsha. Even if the enemy is expected to be lenient, if so many Lingtai realms attack together, nothing will go wrong.
Afraid that Mr. Yin would be worried, Huangfu Jinhuan specially added: "I will arrange an escape route for you, Mr. Yin, to ensure that there is no trace of Fang Youan."
Mr. Yin narrowed his eyes slightly and did not agree immediately. Instead, he said: "This matter sounds easy. But why should we kill someone for you and then take the blame?"
Huangfu Jinhuan laughed heartily and said: "Mr. Yin's words are wrong. We are collaborators, so naturally we should help each other. As long as Mr. Yin completes this matter, we, the Huangfu family, will spare no effort to assist you in your son's affairs." ”
Hearing this, a gleam flashed across Mr. Yin's unwavering eyes.
After a long time, he agreed: "Huangfu Jinhuan, don't forget what you said today. I believe you also know my young master's temper."
After saying that, Mr. Yin slightly arched his hands and turned to leave, leaving only one sentence.
"Let me know when you are ready."
Wait until the others leave.
Huangfu Deyun's eyes were solemn and worried: "Uncle Jinhuan Clan, we have been entangled with them, and it is too dangerous after all. Once the matter is exposed, I am afraid that there will be no place for us in the entire Daqian."
"Don't worry, Deyun." Huangfu Jinhuan said coldly, "I have already considered this matter in my mind. In the final analysis, we are still too weak. If we can reach the fifth level, no, there are six levels, we want to put it aside The relationship with them is simple. Now we still need to rely on their strength to do things."
After a pause, Huangfu Jinhuan ordered again: "De Yun, this matter is of great importance, and it must be led by our two elders of the Ma Huangfu family. We want everyone to know that it is a passing evil spirit. The major crimes committed by the disciples have nothing to do with us."
"Once successful, it will be the day when you and I will rise together."
Huangfu Deyun looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Uncle Jinhuan."
……
A few days later, a big event happened in Changning Wei.
One of the two seventh-grade aristocratic families of Changning Wei, the ancestor of the Changning Huangfu family, the ancestor Hua Ye, has left seclusion.
Always low-key, he claimed that he had achieved some success in practicing the "Red Dragon True Art".
To celebrate this event, Patriarch Hua Ye decided to host a banquet at the main residence of the Huangfu clan in Changning to all the eighth-rank families in the Changning Guards, as well as the people from the Zifu Academy who were in charge of disaster relief.
The "Red Dragon True Technique" is an ancestral magical skill passed down by the Huangfu family. It is said to be a top-grade skill that leads directly to the Purple Mansion realm. Now he claims to have achieved some success. I am afraid that he has overcome the obstacles in the early stage of the Heavenly Realm and will reach the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm in a short time.
The current Ancestor Hua Ye is only 260 or 70 years old. If he can successfully enter the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm, he will have a glimpse of the Purple Mansion in this life.
There is no doubt that he is now at the forefront of the top players in Changning Guard.
This is definitely a great thing for interest groups such as the Changning Huangfu family and the former Ma Huangfu family. But for those families who were against them, it undoubtedly made things worse and added a bit more pressure.
And the invitations issued by such people, even with Fang Youan's pride, cannot arbitrarily refute other people's face.
He immediately replied and expressed his willingness to lead a group of junior brothers and sisters to accept the invitation.
The Xu family in Changning and the Wang family in Ping'an also received invitations.
This day.
The Changning Weinan City area became extremely lively, and even some casual cultivators rushed to join in the fun. Because as long as you say a few words of congratulations at the door of Huangfu's house in Changning, you can get a reward of two or three thousand gold.
Rogue cultivators who are used to being poor will never miss such a good thing. And they naturally talked about the courage of Patriarch Hua Ye and praised him without any hesitation.
With such a situation, in Wang Shouzhe’s words: Patriarch Hua Ye is quite capable of grabbing hot searches.
Now, Patriarch Hua Ye, who is ranked as the number one master of Changning Guard, invites him, so Wang Shouzhe will naturally not publicly offend him.
According to the rules, he prepared enough gifts and took a leisurely carriage to the south of Changning Acropolis.
The south of Changning Acropolis is where the Huangfu family's main residence is located. In addition to the main house, there are many properties here that also belong to their family. Of course, the Huangfu family's large direct and collateral descendants are also indispensable.
For a family with a history of five hundred years, the number of direct and collateral descendants passed down is extremely terrifying. Some of the best among them have now become the backbone of the Huangfu family's various industries, providing a steady stream of financial and material resources for the development of the Huangfu family.
Let’s not talk about gossip for now.
Wang Shouzhe's carriage, surrounded by family generals, was stopped as soon as it arrived at the south of the city.
The person who blocked the carriage was not someone else, but a general of the Xu family in Changning.
The famous general has great momentum and strength, showing the heritage of the old eighth-grade family.
He politely raised his hands and said: "The head of the Wang family, we, the head of the Xu family, invite you to ride in a carriage together."
"Since it was the Fifth Uncle who invited me, Shouzhe will not refuse."
Wang Shouzhe was not surprised. He smiled and told the accompanying generals a few words before boarding the carriage of Xu Anbang, the head of the Xu family in Changning. The whole process was without any concealment.
Such a scene will naturally fall into the eyes of those who are interested.
However, nowadays, the Xu family of Changning and the Wang family of Ping'an are getting closer and closer, joining forces with each other to help each other is no longer a secret, but not many people are surprised.
However, Wang Shouzhe had just gotten into Xu Anbang's carriage, and before he had time to greet him, the carriage was stopped again.
He opened the curtain and saw that the person blocking the car was an unpretentious old man who looked like an old servant. It's just that the aura and power contained within it cannot be hidden from the eyes of Xuanwu monks in the Lingtai realm.
There is no doubt that this is a strong man in the Lingtai realm.
The old man cupped his fists and saluted Wang Shouzhe: "Master Shouzhe, my wife would like to meet you."
The corners of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched.
Even if he puts on makeup and covers up, can he still recognize his ancestor Xiaohan?
Needless to say, the so-called "Madam" in the carriage behind is Wang Mei pretending to be "Mrs. Ji".
This was not part of his plan, and he didn't know what she was up to.
He was just thinking about how to refuse, when he saw that the curtain on the opposite side was also opened, and a charming, charming woman got out of the carriage, and walked up to him with a smile. To him and Xu Anbang.
"Master Shouzhe, Master Xu, can you two give me this face?"
Whether it was out of etiquette or otherwise, Wang Shouzhe and Xu Anbang could no longer refuse, so they had to politely invite her into the carriage.
The three of them gathered in a carriage and headed to Huangfu's main residence.
Such a scene naturally quickly reached the ears of Huangfu Jinhuan, who was preparing for the banquet.
He couldn't help but sneered twice after hearing the news: "That woman named Ji is really impatient, and she can't wait to act so quickly. Her move works both ways, it can put pressure on us, and she can also place bets on both sides. , It’s really a good calculation.”
Huangfu Deyun was a little worried: "Uncle Jinhuan, she won't really cooperate with the Xu family of Changning and the Wang family of Ping'an, right?"
"Hmph~ It doesn't matter." Huangfu Jinhuan sneered, "After tonight, she will know who is the real master of Changning Guard!"
……
At this moment, the fragrance of tea lingered in Xu Anbang's carriage, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
In fact, the layout inside the carriage is relatively spacious. However, because of Mrs. Ji's presence, Wang Shouzhe and Xu Anbang could only squeeze to one side and sit across from Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji looked at Wang Shouzhe with faint eyes, as if she felt unspeakable grievances.
However, Wang Shouzhe looked intently and completely ignored her grievances.
Just kidding~ No matter how wronged he is, he can't sit aside from her. Otherwise, today next year might be his death anniversary~
"Shouzhe, you..."
Xu Anbang looked at the charming Mrs. Ji, and then at Wang Shouzhe, his eyes flickering, and he felt a little panicked in his heart.
Doesn’t he know something extraordinary?
"Ahem~"
Wang Shouzhe hurriedly coughed twice and explained to Xu Anbang: "Fifth Uncle, this Mrs. Ji is Shouzhe's partner. You must not misunderstand."
"No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding." Xu Anbang nodded repeatedly with a look of understanding, "I know, this is your partner Shouzhe, definitely not anyone else."
After a pause, Xu Anbang said with a very loyal look: "Don't worry Shouzhe, I will rot in my stomach about this matter."
"Okay." Seeing him thinking so, Wang Shouzhe also knew that the explanation was unclear. He didn't bother to explain anymore, glanced at Mrs. Ji and said, "Now that Mrs. Ji is getting on our carriage, aren't you afraid that Huangfu Jinhuan will be suspicious?"
"Master Shouzhe is joking." Mrs. Ji covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes gleaming with charm, "I am just a cooperative relationship with the Huangfu family of Changning, and I am not his subordinate. I don't need to report to him for getting on someone's carriage. Are you ready?"
"What's more, now we want to make him suspicious. The more he thinks about it, the more chaotic his mind will be. The more chaotic it is, the easier it is to make mistakes."
She is really a fairy. Whenever she smiles casually, she becomes more and more charming in appearance. It can be seen how hard she studied in this aspect. As far as Wang Shouzhe knows, she has collected a lot of charm skills!
"What you said makes sense."
Wang Shouzhe nodded, too lazy to differentiate with her.
She is clearly doing this for personal gain, but there is no flaw in it. There is no point in continuing to argue.
He changed the subject and said: "Fifth uncle, you invited me to get on the carriage, but what's the important thing?"
"It's nothing important." Xu Anbang stroked his beard and said, "Even when things are about to happen, I always feel a little panicked. What's more, I never thought that you, Shouzhe, would control this crisis."
"Regarding this matter, Shouzhe would like to solemnly apologize to Fifth Uncle." Wang Shouzhe's expression became serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "Of course I contributed to this situation. But Fifth Uncle, you should also feel the same in your heart. You know, with the Huangfu family’s domineering power, it is inevitable that one mountain can contain two tigers.”
"Since the Changning Xu family wants to attack the seventh-rank family, they will inevitably be attacked by them. Unless the fifth uncle is willing to let the Changning Xu family stay in the eighth-rank family for the rest of his life, otherwise, the relationship with the Changning Huangfu family will Head-on competition is inevitable."
"Shouzhe, I admit that what you said makes sense." Xu Anbang nodded slightly and agreed, but then changed the subject and said, "But you designed to drag our Xu family into the water and act as the vanguard. There is no way that my uncle will do nothing about this." There is no grudge. Today, you can plot against us, but how do you want me to believe that you will not plot against us in the future? With this suspicion, the relationship between our two families will only go further and further."
Wang Shouzhe heard that there was something in his words, so he smiled and said: "What does it mean according to the fifth uncle?"
Xu Anbang pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "It's actually easy to regain trust. Just follow the traditions of the aristocratic families. Speaking of which, there has been no marriage between the direct lineages of your and mine for a long time. Are you done?"
"Marriage by direct lineage?"
Wang Shouzhe's brows wrinkled slightly.
Speaking of this matter, in fact, the Ping An Wang family still has some grudges in their hearts, especially the old people of Xiaozi generation, who are still full of dissatisfaction when mentioning that incident.
Seeing Wang Shouzhe frowning, Xu Anbang immediately understood what he was worried about.
"Shouzhe, I have actually heard about Aunt Zhenmei." His expression became solemn, "My father also regretted it all his life because of that incident, saying that after all, it was him who failed to take good care of Zhenmei. Aunt Mei. Because of this incident, my father was depressed all his life. He did not even reach the Lingtai realm and passed away more than ten years ago."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, this is the incident that triggered the decades-old feud between the Ping An Wang family and the Changning Xu family.
The center of this matter is the great aunt named "Wang Zhenmei".
She is the fifth-generation legitimate daughter of the Ping An Wang family. At that time, the Ping An Wang family was facing a great crisis, so the Longyan ancestor took the decision and betrothed Aunt Wang Zhenmei to Xu Guorui, the eldest son of the Xu family in Changning.
This is also to consolidate the blood relationship between the Wang family of Ping An and the Xu family of Changning. It is also hoped that the Xu family of Changning can become the strong backing of the Wang family when the Wang family is in the most difficult time.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
My aunt Wang Zhenmei became pregnant with her direct blood shortly after her marriage, but died of dystocia during childbirth.
At that time, the elders of the Xiaozi generation rushed to the Xu family in Changning and made a big fuss.
Ancestor Longyan was also heartbroken, dragging his sick body to the door to investigate the matter in person. Finally, he found that there was nothing strange about the cause of Wang Zhenmei's death, and it was indeed an accident, so he gave up.
But even so, the bad blood between the two parties has been difficult to eliminate.
Especially the Ping An Wang family has always been worried about this matter. From then on, the two clans only intermarryed on the direct lineage, and no direct lineage was involved.
The current head of the Xu family in Changning, Xu Anbang, is the eldest son of Xu Guorui, the eldest son of the Xu family.
If this were not the case, the direct lineage of the Xu family in Changning should have been very strong in the Wang family bloodline.
Wang Shouzhe hesitated for a moment and said: "Fifth Uncle, I can make the decision on everything else. However, I'm afraid Longyan Ancestor has to say something about this matter. Besides, your family doesn't seem to match my Miaomiao family. His direct lineage, right?"
"Shuzhe, don't misunderstand." Xu Anbang shook his head and said, "I'm not attracted to Miaomiao."
As soon as he said this, Wang Shouzhe's face turned cold: "Is it possible that the fifth uncle has fallen in love with my Yaoyao?"
Wang Liyao is his lifeblood, who dares to take ideas from her?
As long as Xu Anbang dares to nod his head, let alone Xu Anbang, the fifth uncle is only in name, even if he is a direct relative, he will still beat him!
When Xu Anbang met his eyes, he shuddered involuntarily.
After all, he was also a monk in the Lingtai realm, but at this moment, he felt a little nervous in his heart. He quickly said, "Shuzhe, don't misunderstand me. My father once held my hand before he died and said that our family owes peace." A legitimate daughter of the Wang family."
Wang Shouzhe was stunned when he heard this, his expression softened slightly, but then he became confused: "Fifth uncle, I am already married."
Xu Anbang breathed a sigh of relief and explained seriously: "You don't know something, but that **** in my family just gave birth to a little girl, who is only two years old now. Although she is not the eldest daughter, she is also our granddaughter. She is the treasure of the whole family. If you don’t mind Shouzhe, I would like to betroth her to your family An’an.”
"Marry An An?"
Wang Shouzhe's brows suddenly relaxed, and he began to think secretly in his heart.
Now the Xu family in Changning and the Wang family in Ping'an are already grasshoppers tied to the same boat, no, comrades-in-arms! To be honest, without direct marriage, the connection and bond between the two parties would indeed be too fragile.
Mutual suspicion and fear of cooperation will not be good for each other's families in the long run.
Marriage by direct lineage is probably really inevitable.
"Okay, I agree to this marriage." Wang Shouzhe is also a straightforward person, and he immediately made the decision, "After this time, I will start to come to the Xu family to propose marriage."
The Xu family of Changning itself is an old eighth-grade family with a very rich foundation. As long as everything goes well with the plan, the possibility of becoming a seventh-grade family in the future is extremely high.
The granddaughter of the Tianren family is not wronged by Wang Zongan.
"That's very good, very good." Seeing Wang Shouzhe agree, Xu Anbang was obviously relieved, "In this case, the matter of you dragging my Xu family into the water this time will be written off, and I will never mention it again in the future. ”
To be honest, he was actually very uneasy.
Wang Shouzhe was really too magical and powerful. If the two parties did not have the bond of direct marriage, he was really afraid that one day he would be sold by him and help him count the money.
"Keke~" Mrs. Ji on the side also covered her mouth and laughed, "Congratulations to the head of the Shouzhe family, you have an extra daughter-in-law."
Wang Shouzhe got a daughter-in-law for nothing, and he felt much happier.
At this moment, poor Wang Zongan was still busy writing and doing homework in the Wang family's ancestral home. He had no idea that even his daughter-in-law had been arranged for his father to go out.
Poor Wang Zongan is only five years old and doesn’t understand anything~
I guess he looked confused again when he found out about it later.
Hey~ It’s not easy to be a young patriarch~
