protect our patriarch

Chapter 288 The Prince's Family Has No Food Surplus
……

Prince Heng's expression froze, it seemed that it was indeed not easy to raise an apprentice like Lici.In desperation, he changed the subject and said, "Yunyang, how much do you think a chicken is worth?"

"It depends on where it is and how big the chicken is." Master Yunyang replied leisurely, "If it's in an ordinary farmhouse, it's as little as sixty or seventy cents, and as many as one or two big coppers. If it's in your Baiyun Tower, Immediately, the value has increased by more than a hundred times, and the price of a small 'Bazhen Braised Young Phoenix' is as high as tens of gold."

Speaking of this, Master Yunyang paused, and quietly glanced at King Heng: "But if you live in that land of nine absolutes where not a single blade of grass grows, and you don't eat or drink for three months, that chicken is priceless. His Royal Highness, you are a man~~ I should be grateful."

Thank you fart!

King Heng's face was shaking, and he was about to swear, regardless of his face, and said with a black face: "That said, but when we were performing the Holy Land experience mission together, you secretly hid a lot of chickens."

"It's my business how many chickens I have. I just asked, have you eaten my chicken?" Master Yunyang rolled his eyes.

"ate!"

Prince Heng was helpless.

If he had known that Yunyang would have recorded it in his notebook for hundreds of years, he would never have eaten that chicken when he was beaten to death.

"Tell me, I even gave you such a precious chicken." The Master Yunyang stroked his beard and said, "Now I am just taking my apprentice to live in your restaurant for a while, why do you want to eat it?" Here, why is this~~~"

stay?

Living in one breath for five years, is this also called small living?

Prince Heng's heart was bleeding, and he was desolate.

If it weren't for the fact that this old boy in Yunyang is already at the peak of the Zifu Realm and he can't beat him, he might have yelled at him long ago.

And while the two bosses were muttering in the private room on the roof, the final of the "Youth Under 50 Big Eater Competition" below was also in full swing.

As one plate after another of grilled spirit beast meat disappeared into the mouths of Wang Lici and Daman Xiang, the surrounding cheers became louder and louder, almost toppling the entire Accord.

If it weren't for the fact that the Accords in the Baiyun Building have their own sound-proof formations, once they are turned on, monks below the Purple Mansion would not be able to hear the sound in the Accords. I'm afraid some other guests would have been overwhelmed by the noise and came to reprimand them. .

Baking pans pile up quickly.

Gradually, the elephant couldn't take it anymore, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

His digestion ability is indeed very strong, even jade and iron sand can be digested.But no matter how he can digest it, he has to give him time to digest it!
A plate of grilled spirit beast meat weighed tens of catties, and every time he ate another plate, he felt his stomach convulsing, as if he was enduring torture.

On the other hand, Miss Lici, who is not in a hurry, eats elegantly, but the speed of eliminating barbecue is not slower than that of a big elephant.

Most importantly, she ate with relish, obviously enjoying the food.

The capital is so much fun, there are so many delicious things~~Wang Lici feels happier the more he eats, life is really wonderful.

Seeing this situation, the children of all the aristocratic families who bet on the elephant to win all had some ominous premonitions, and shouted: "Big elephant, you can't even eat women, can you?"

"I bet you four thousand gold!"

"I have saved my private money for 30 years, and I will bet on you to win! If you lose, I will take your skin~!"

In the sound of "encouragement", the big elephant held on to fight for another incense stick, and cooked five large plates of barbecue again, but finally couldn't hold on anymore, and ran to the corner to vomit.

There was a burst of boos from the crowd.

"Hey? Why can't this work?"

However, Wang Lici licked his lips with some insatiable desire.

She glanced at the elephant, and then at the shopkeeper who presided over the competition. After holding back for a long time, she finally couldn't hold back, and pointed to the ten plates of roasted spirit meat that had just been served and looked weakly at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, that... ...Can I still eat the rest?"

The voice fell, and the scene was completely silent.

Everyone looked at Wang Lici with strange eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

In this situation, not to mention them, even the two big bosses who were peeking at the screen in the private room on the top floor of Baiyun Tower all showed a stagnant expression.

Especially Prince Heng's expression was even more complicated.For the past five years, he has been in such shock.No matter how many times, it is a little hard to accept!

After a few breaths, he regained his composure and sighed: "Li Ci's devouring bloodline is truly remarkable. Brother Yunyang, you really found a treasure."

"It's okay, okay~" Master Yunyang also had a frightened face, "Her bloodline has great potential, but it's too troublesome to raise, and the sooner she needs to improve the bloodline, the stronger it will be. And most of the food that is swallowed is turned into It’s difficult, difficult, difficult~”

The phagocytic bloodline is a relatively rare bloodline.However, there are still many records in the historical records of the holy land and various schools.

Although Prince Heng was emotional, he only thought that Wang Lici was some kind of rare phagocytic blood.

Only Yunyang master knows that Liyao's bloodline is not an ordinary devouring bloodline at all, but is recorded in some very ancient documents - the gluttonous bloodline.

The potential of this kind of bloodline is very huge. As long as it can be cultivated, it will be invincible in the later stage, but it is too laborious to raise it in the early stage, and it needs to constantly devour natural materials, treasures and food to build the foundation.

"It's true that a disciple of the devouring bloodline is difficult to raise, but once it is raised, it is still very powerful." King Heng nodded in agreement, but then changed the subject, "But what does this have to do with me? No matter how powerful, then Also your apprentice."

After much deliberation, he decided to tear his face apart: "Senior brother Yunyang, you and I should have cleared up the 'kindness' of that chicken back then. If you really can't afford Lici, why don't you send it to the Holy Land... ..."

"Holy place?" Master Yunyang's old face changed slightly, "I won't go. It's good for me to stay in Longzuo Academy, lest Lici's study in the holy place will fail."

"Senior Brother Yunyang, how many years have passed since that incident, and you haven't come out yet?" Duke Heng frowned slightly, "Sister Xiqing has passed away for so many years, let alone Senior Brother Langya...

"Shut up! I won't go to the Holy Land, it has nothing to do with that matter." Master Yunyang's face turned gloomy, and then he snorted coldly, "Junior Brother Han Heng, you don't understand. I stay in Longzuo Academy, so One person is under one person and above ten thousand people, why bother to go to the Holy Land to be spoiled by that guy?

"What's more, after the old man Tianhe dies, I will be the dean. The entire Longzuo Zifu Academy is up to me, the 'Reverend Yunyang', who has the final say."

"Junior Brother Han Heng, as a human being, you have to take a long-term view. You are now asking my master and apprentice to stay and board for a few more years. When I take charge of the Longzuo Zifu Academy, how can there be no return?"

For a while, King Heng was a little dumbfounded: "Senior brother Yunyang, your vision is really long-term." Also, after you are promoted to the supernatural powers, can you call yourself a real person?

"That's... If I, Yunyang, hadn't seen far, how could you have eaten chicken back then? Maybe you would have starved to death." Master Yunyang's demeanor of immortality, coupled with the dialogue of the market, is really unique, "This is called long-term investment, understand?"

"Understood!" King Heng nodded heavily, "However, I also have a saying here called 'stop loss in time'. Brother Yunyang, don't look at me as a 'king of the county', but after all It's just empty shelf~ The county prince's family doesn't have any food left~"

"Senior Brother Yunyang, I'm different from a single person like you." King Heng said depressingly as if he was carrying a huge burden, "I also have a concubine, dozens of side concubines, and hundreds of concubines. There are hundreds of princes and county chiefs to support, and there are so many descendants that I can't even recognize them, these are heavy responsibilities, heavy burdens."

"To be honest, sometimes I really envy Senior Brother Yunyang... the crane in the cloud, who can come and go freely, without worries."

Master Yunyang was struck by lightning.

This Wu Hanheng... is too, too much.

It's just driving people away, so why use such a big move?

……

After half an hour.

At the gate of Baiyun Building, Master Yunyang and Wang Lici, the old and the young, looked up at the restriction slowly rising in front of them, and remained silent.

The night wind blew past, making the backs of the two of them very desolate.

After a long while, Master Yunyang sighed quietly: "Hey~ Uncle Heng is not easy. It has been so many years, that is, the family of the county prince has a great business, and a lot of assets have been passed down from the ancestors. If it were someone else, he would have been poor for a long time. Countless times. Li Ci, remember your uncle Heng's kindness, do you know who will repay you in the future?"

"Master, don't worry, I understand."

Wang Lici nodded earnestly, and then put the large bag of natural materials and earthly treasures that King Heng Jun gave her before leaving into the storage ring, turned to look at her master, and said eagerly: "Master, where are we going next?" ?”

"Don't worry, don't worry, you have to take a look as a teacher. Your master and I made a lot of connections back then, and at this critical moment, it finally showed its effect."

Master Yunyang took out his small notebook again, and first put a cross behind Wu Hanheng's name.

Then, he pondered carefully.

……

Time flies, and several months have passed by.

Daqian Changlong calendar three thousand and 160 seven years, January nineteenth.

It is the beginning of spring again.

The winter snow has not yet dissipated, but the turmoil between the Qian family and the Wang family has gradually calmed down, and people in the streets and alleys are too few to mention it.

The Qian family and the Wang family signed a formal contract at the end of last year after all the detailed rules of the agreement were negotiated, and under the joint notarization of the Purple House Academy and the County Guard's Office.

The Qian family has existed for thousands of years, how profound is the heritage?Whether it is money, talent reserves, experience in running a business, or connections, they are far from being comparable to upstarts like the Wang family.

With Qian's joining, Shouda Trading Company quickly burned money at a speed several times faster to open up the situation.

The fourth-order Vermilion Cranes that had not been sold in Zifu Academy were directly bought up by Shouda Trading Company at one time. It was also thanks to Wang Liyao's face, otherwise the Academy might not be willing to sell them all.

As for the order for the flying carriage, it was also taken over by the Tiangongfang Longzuo Branch, the largest refining workshop in Longzuo County.It took three full months of overtime work there before the order was fully delivered.

Now, after a few months, the number of flying chariots flying over Longzuo County every day has soared to 67.

According to Qian Xuehan's report, they have sent elders of the Qian family to other counties to buy or rent spirit bird flying chariots, and strive to expand the number of flying chariots to 120 within a year.

It can be seen from this that, purely in terms of background in the business field, the current Wang family can't keep up with the Qian family.

The advantage of the Wang family lies more in Wang Shouzhe's unique ideas and unique thinking.

early spring.

The cold wind is still cold.

Above the vast East China Sea, the howling wind is still bitingly cold.

Amid the turbulent waves, five large maritime merchant ships lined up in a zigzag shape, fighting against the wind and waves while moving forward steadily.

The high-hanging sails are full of sea breeze, bulging and swelling.

The huge sea merchant ship is like five mobile fortresses, no matter how rough the waves are, there is no slightest deviation, slowly, but unswervingly moving towards the destination.

On the top of the mast, the banner of the Chen family of Donggang is tumbling in the wind.

On the bow of the leading flagship ship, on a high observation deck, a watchman in a sailor suit is holding a cylindrical "clairvoyance", looking into the distance intently.

Suddenly.

The coastline near Donggang appeared dimly in the clairvoyant's field of vision.

The lookout immediately whistled excitedly and waved a flag to notify the helmsman.

Soon, the good news spread throughout the entire fleet like catkins in spring.

It has been nearly two months since this fleet set off from Donggang last winter, stopped at several major ports of Baidaowei, and then went around the Frozen Floating Island.

Originally, it was expected to end the voyage and return to Donggang a few years ago, but unexpectedly, a rare winter storm descended on the East China Sea and blocked the sea route.So much so that this Donggang caravan had to be stranded in Baidaowei for the New Year.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief of this fleet is Chen Fanghua, the young core elder of the Chen family.And the captain and deputy commander of the flagship is Chen Xiuwu, the young patriarch of the Chen family in Donggang today.

With two of them sitting in command, and boosting morale from time to time, this enabled the caravan to tide over the difficulties steadily, without any incidents of collective restlessness or even mutiny among the sailors.

Soon after receiving the news, Chen Fanghua, the elder of the Chen family, and Chen Xiuwu, the head of the young clan, both came to the bow of the flagship, surrounded by a group of generals.

When receiving Wang Shouzhe back then, Chen Fanghua was just a young straight-line backbone, but now at the age of 46, he has grown into a majestic middle-aged man.

At the beginning, he was lucky and caught up with the big trend of family development. Because of his outstanding ability, he has made stable and outstanding contributions to the family for a long time, and he has been more and more valued by the ancestors of the Chen family.

Just last year, relying on his family's long-term and abundant resource supply and a heavenly spirit pill bestowed by his ancestors, he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Realm and stepped into the Spirit Platform Realm, becoming the eighth Lingtai Realm of the Chen family in Donggang. , among the ranks of elders.

Times change just like that.

The young talents of those days have now grown into the mainstay of the family.Even the young patriarch Chen Xiuwu needs to learn from him.

Looking at the long-awaited Donggang coastline, even though he was as calm as Chen Fanghua, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The young patriarch Chen Xiuwu was half a body behind him, and when he saw this, he became slightly excited: "Sanbo, I have finally come back without any danger. While it is still within the Spring Festival, after I visit my mother, I can still Go to Ping'an Town to visit my uncle and aunt, and pay my respects to my old age."

After several months of wind and sun, his handsome and heroic face was slightly darkened, but he looked much more mature and stable.

Along the way, the fleet has faced dangers and difficulties several times. He has always performed very well. He is responsible and responsible, and he will overcome difficulties with everyone. He will never take the flying chariot back to the Chen family first, so he has won the favor of the Chen family. People, family generals, and the respect of boatmen and sailors.

"Xiu Wu, you have performed well this time, and your cultivation has already broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm. You will be able to try to break through to the Lingtai Realm in three or four years. Patriarch Shou Zhe will definitely be full of praise when he sees you." While Chen Fanghua cared for his nephew, he was also filled with emotion.

The prosperity of the family is really important.Think back when Chen Fangjie and Wang Shouzhe were young, at that age they could already be regarded as young talents of Changningwei.

But now, the kid Xiuwu is only 20 years old, and he has already stepped into the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm!
But even so, he is not ranked high among the young people in the in-laws alliance.Among the young generation, such as the Liu family of Shanyin, the Gongsun family of Shanyang, and the Lu family of Yingxiu, there are many excellent ones everywhere.

Of course, the most powerful ones are those young people of the Wang family.Especially Xiuwu's cousin Wang Liyao, it is said that she has already stepped into the Lingtai Realm, and now she has been admitted to the palace, that is the real talent.

"I don't know if Cousin Liyao and Cousin Zong'an have come back from the academy this Chinese New Year." Chen Xiuwu said with emotion, "I heard that there are a lot of geniuses and masters in the Zifu Academy. I don't know much about it. I'm worried about Cousin Liyao because Cousin Zong'an is too soft-tempered, so it's better not to be bullied in the academy."

"Don't worry about this. I heard that your Aunt Luo Jing and Aunt Luo Qiu are very successful in the academy, but they were taught by the master." Chen Fanghua said proudly, "You They are here, who would dare to bully Young Master Zong Anbiao? What's more, our in-law alliance is not weak now, and it is not so easy to bully."

"That's true. After the Confucian ancestors reach the Heavenly Realm, our Chen family will also be a seventh-rank family." Chen Xiuwu said excitedly, "At that time, our Changning Guard, apart from Kaicheng Shou, will have four Heavenly Human Realm Monk."

When it was mentioned that the ancestor Ruhong was about to be promoted to the realm of heaven and man, a smile appeared on Chen Fanghua's mature and majestic face.

The status gap between the seventh-rank aristocratic family and the eighth-rank aristocratic family is huge. The main reason is the existence of the ancestor of the heaven-human realm.

That represents a class leap.

Once the Confucian ancestor was successfully promoted this time, the Donggang Chen family would have accumulated a lot of money. Since then, they have broken away from the sequence of the bottom family, and can occupy a place in Changningwei, and even be eligible to have a name within the scope of Longzuo County.

suddenly~
Chen Fanghua's face changed slightly: "Those ships... Hey, they turned out to be the boats of the Jiaolong Gang. Why did they appear in our Donggang?"
