Chapter 263
Warlock Liu Kuangxing insisted that he understood Cheng Jinzhou, and when he had an advantage, he somewhat underestimated him.

Xiao Cheng's refusal to meet him didn't arouse his vigilance, he just thought it was a young man playing with his temper.It wasn't until Cheng Jinzhou took over the Cheng family in Shaonan that Liu Kuang realized he had been fooled.

In fact, for the members of the Cheng family, whether good or bad, Cheng Jinzhou is naturally close. The reason why blood relationship is important lies in its non-selectivity.The court's original idea was to force Cheng Jinzhou to disband or reduce the size of his team after persuading Cheng Wenzheng.

This move is in line with the interests of the Star Warlock Association. Liu Kuang Xing Warlock knows that it is not that simple, but still hopes to help the Cheng family. Naturally, there are other two ways to prepare.What he didn't expect was that although it is important to get the head of the Cheng family, when a group of astrologists visits the elders one by one, no matter how many powerful astrologists Liu Kuang has, it is no different from scratching the itch— —Could it be possible for the elders to reject Cheng Jinzhou under the watchful eyes of the five star warlocks?Not to mention that he is a member of the Cheng family.

Therefore, when the two officially met, the home and away advantages of the two sides had been completely reversed, which made Warlock Liu Kuangxing smile wryly.

Cheng Chang's hall still has a unique style, which has not changed much for more than ten years.The beautiful antiques and sculptures tell the history, the beautiful screens and murals tell the story, the gurgling indoor fountain is conspicuous and beautiful, and the little fish in it have not changed at all.

The only difference may be the change of seats for everyone.

Last time, Cheng Jinzhou could only sit in the most remote place in the long hall, but now, it was Warlock Liu Kuangxing, Cheng Wenzheng and him sitting in the middle.

If it weren't for Daxia's emphasis on etiquette, and the Daxia Governor could not be allowed to sit at Cheng Jinzhou's lower head, it is anyone's guess as to where he can sit.

Because of this, Cheng Jinzhou's father, Cheng Yun'an, did not attend this meeting at all.

Cheng Wenzheng looked at his grandson with strange eyes.

Cheng Wenzheng has never returned home since he went to the southwest battlefield five years ago. The last time he saw Cheng Jinzhou, the latter was an 8-year-old sick boy who had to take medicine every day and was neither naughty nor lively. , among his many grandchildren, they failed to leave much impression except that they were direct grandchildren.

Suddenly, his grandson became a famous star warlock in the whole Great Xia. Such a huge change happened in just half a year. Before Cheng Wenzheng could react, he was received by His Majesty the Emperor.Although he is a military officer of the second rank, to be honest, Cheng Wenzheng's status will never be comparable to that of the six ministers of the third rank. Unless he can climb to the position of the first rank, he will never be comparable to a civil servant of the third rank.

But on that day, everyone who saw Cheng Wenzheng, including military officials, eunuchs, and civilian nobles, greeted him as if they were meeting a second-rank official, even His Majesty the Emperor was no exception.You know, just like the military generals of the first rank are not granted the official title, the civil servants of the first rank are also known as grand masters, and they have not been seen for many years.Even the elders who entered the Zhengshitang, the biggest ones are just the second grade.

In other words, from the southwest battlefield to the capital, and then from the capital to Shaonan, Cheng Wenzheng has enjoyed the treatment of a top official for two months.

He knew very well where his treatment came from, but he still chose to cling to the court.

Cheng Wenzheng also has his own considerations, for the Cheng family, and because among his own values, "loyalty to the monarch and the country" always comes first.Even if he is used by His Majesty the Emperor, he doesn't care, or rather, he would rather be used by His Majesty the Emperor.

Cheng Jinzhou, who came from modern times and received modern education, couldn't understand why Cheng Wenzheng could obtain a higher status through himself, the cheap grandson, but would rather choose to stand on the side of outsiders.Substituted into Cheng Jinzhou's thoughts, Cheng Jinzhou felt slightly angry and hurt.

Cheng Bingxun, who didn't pull a penny, took his son Cheng Jinhao and stood further away. He could only stand and look at Cheng Jinzhou and others.He was a little bit unwilling, but more happy.

In his opinion, as long as the old man of the Cheng family doesn't like Cheng Jinzhou, then the kid in the third room of the Cheng family can't stay at home.Maybe he's doing well outside, but as long as he's not at Cheng's house, he has nothing to do with Cheng Bingxun.There are so many powerful people in the world, why do you care so much?

Cheng Jinhao looked at Cheng Jinzhou, who was about the same age as him but had a huge difference in status, and also chewed his teeth.Because his father messed with other women and was naked in the street, he was degraded by the Xuezheng Revolution, which made it impossible for him to take the provincial examination.Although he didn't know if it was the fault of his cousin, a star warlock, the so-called Jie Yuan was enough to make him hate him even more.

That is Jie Yuan, the dream of scholars all over the world, a title more honorable than Jinshi and Di.

In the silence and wild thoughts, Liu Kuang broke the silence with a light cough. He pointed at the table with his finger and said with a smile: "Mr. , Promote Master Cheng."

A promotion means he will be transferred from De'an.Cheng Jinzhou laughed twice, but didn't speak.He was already deeply entrenched in De'an, unless the imperial court sent Warlock Liu Kuangxing to be the county magistrate, what's the point of dispatching him.

"The family also welcomes you back to Shaonan." Cheng Wenzheng said, and then said: "As long as you are willing to come back to Shaonan, the Cheng family will naturally support you with all their strength. If necessary, skilled stewards and accountants, They will all be sent to you."

The implication is that if Cheng Jinzhou disagrees, he may take back the servants he took away.This is also the best way for aristocratic families to restrain officials sent abroad.

In the official system of this era, the government will neither send secretaries, secretary generals, drivers, accountants, or guards to officials, and even ordinary office clerks are understaffed and unavailable.For example, a county has only about 30 official positions in the establishment of the central official department, but the actual demand is often 1000.

If the family cannot provide competent manpower, recruiting foreign employees is simply a nightmare.In an era when there was almost no talent flow, it was like going to Jinggangshan to recruit talents in the 70s.

But Cheng Jinzhou just raised his eyes to look at the elders around him, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will naturally come back."

Cheng Wenzheng's attitude was not positive, it seemed that after he finished speaking, it was none of his business.After all, Cheng Jinzhou took the lead, so he couldn't appear too unfair.

Tang Wen suddenly became anxious. He took a step forward and said in an oppressive tone: "Cheng Jinzhou, do you want to fight the Star Warlock Association? And you, also want to fight the Star Warlock Association?"

Lu Lushan lazily said, "I am an independent astromancer."

The old man over there crossed his legs and said, "I'm an astromancer from the church."

Tang Wen suddenly lost his mind.

Seeing Cheng Jinzhou's serious expression, Liu Kuang star warlock narrowed his eyes, and took out his last peaceful means: "Mr. Cheng, the Star Warlock Association supports you to stand on your own outside the church, but opposes you taking away the association's star warlocks."

A group of people were stunned.

Liu Kuang smiled, patted Cheng Jinzhou on the shoulder and said, "In my opinion, it's better to reduce the size of your team."

There are more than hundreds of astrologists in the Holy Church and the Astrology Association, but what they can't tolerate is Cheng Jinzhou's continuous expansion trend.

The crowd heard Warlock Liu Kuangxing's words, and all looked at Dr. Cheng Da.

The star warlocks even condensed the star array, ready to go to war at any time.

Of course, in this situation, if there is a real fight, the casualty rate will be appallingly high, almost equivalent to shooting each other with guns.

Cheng Jinzhou stared at Warlock Liu Kuang, and suddenly smiled and said, "The Association of Star Warlocks is the association of Star Warlocks. We are not the association's Star Warlocks. If you have any complaints about me, you can indeed complain to the Holy Church."

He also couldn't completely put himself in the circle of the Holy Church, because many star warlocks in his team didn't like the Holy Church.Compared with the Star Warlock Association, the development of the Holy Church is more closed.

Warlock Liu Kuangxing stared at Cheng Jinzhou so closely that it even made Lu Xu feel uncomfortable.

The coercion of the fourth-level star warlocks for many years has long been implanted in the hearts of ordinary star warlocks.

Cheng Jinzhou is the astromancer of the Holy Church, this cannot be changed, and he recruited the astromancer of the association, this is also unalterable.Such behavior and contradictions will not only confuse the astrologists, but also confuse the Holy Church.

Liu Kuang's selection is very good.When Cheng Jinzhou hesitated, he gave Tang Wen a slight signal.

Tang Wen, who was ready to be a villain, immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Cheng, if you insist on going your own way, we will take back your property in the capital."

"Oh?"

"15 mu of land is not a small amount. If you disband the team and return to normal research work, the land will naturally be used by you, but if not, we will completely take back the land."

One month later it was the harvest season, and Cheng Jinzhou was dumbfounded.

Only at this time did he realize that he had so many handles in the opponent's hands, although the opponent might not realize which one was the most fatal.

With 15 mu of land, the price of real rice produced will be an extremely terrifying figure, and it must not be given up.

Just when he was hesitating, Lu Lushan stood up again, and said loudly: "Isn't it just a fight after all? Master, I finally found a quiet place. Is it easy to improve a little bit? Come on, I will Compare it with your fourth-level star warlock to see if you are more advanced than Daliang's Bunsen."

Wu Bensheng is the most famous fourth-level star warlock in Daliang, and he is habitually called Bensheng by the star warlocks in Daxia.

This time, it was the turn of the gentlemen of the Association to look at each other. They were not really ready to fight.

Moreover, Star Warlock Liu Kuang couldn't roll up his sleeves to fight him, and Tang Wen next to him was also hesitant. It depends on the war.
