protect our patriarch

Chapter 296 The general trend!Where is the Wang family going?

……

Outside the gazebo, a mighty Milky Way stretches far away.

Under the sun, the waves of the turbulent Tianhe River are splashing everywhere, and the splashes of water are shining with crystal light. From a distance, it looks like a horse strewn across the sky dotted with broken diamonds. It is romantic and beautiful, but also reveals a mighty spirit. The power of heaven and earth makes people tremble.

I don't know how long Wang Shouzhe has been waiting.

Suddenly.

"boom!"

The Tianhe River outside the gazebo was stepped on by Long Wuji, and it immediately shattered into a torrential rain and fell into Anjiang.

the next moment.

Long Wuji landed outside the gazebo lightly.

His posture is relaxed and his expression is leisurely, as if he has done a trivial thing.

Behind him, Jiang Yusong and Du Tiangang, the third in charge, also fell to the ground immediately, one literary and one military, one left and one right guarding behind Long Wuji.

Long Wuji swept his long and narrow eyes, and the focus fell on Wang Shouzhe.

He immediately smiled heartily: "I think this one is the famous Patriarch Shouzhe. I, Long Wuji, have been invited by the Patriarch to have a talk."

Wang Shouzhe got up, smiled and cupped his hands like a warm spring breeze, and said, "Master Long Da and all the distinguished guests have come from afar, which made my Changning Wei Pengpi shine. Shouzhe's gratitude is beyond words, only a few glasses of spirit wine, for the great master. The head of the family welcomes the wind and washes away the dust with all the distinguished guests."

"This is the dog Zong'an. Zong'an, I haven't seen Master Long soon."

After that, he glanced at Wang Zongan behind him.

Wang Zongan immediately pulled back his sleeves, calmly stepped forward and bowed to the three of them: "Junior Wang Zong'an, I have seen Master Long."

His figure and demeanor have obviously undergone special training, and his every move is graceful, with an extraordinary bearing, showing the demeanor of a nobleman.

"Okay, okay." Long Wuji praised endlessly, "Patriarch Shouzhe is truly a blessing. Both sons and daughters are extremely talented, like a phoenix son and a phoenix daughter."

Afterwards, Long Wuji introduced Jiang Yusong and Du Tiangang according to the etiquette.

After exchanging pleasantries and courtesies, Wang Shouzhe invited Long Wuji to sit down.As for Wang Zong'an, Jiang Yusong and others, they naturally couldn't sit on an equal footing with Wang Shouzhe and Long Wuji on this occasion, so they stood behind them.

As soon as the two sat down, the puppet stepped forward to pick up the Lingbao gourd and began to pour wine for the two.The color of the wine is like a jade soul, and the syrup is like light honey. As soon as it is poured into the cup, there is an intoxicating aroma of wine.

But Long Wuji's attention was mainly on the puppet.

Although the workmanship of this puppet is very exquisite, the degree of anthropomorphism is extremely high, and its movements are extremely agile.But he could tell at a glance that this was by no means a real person, but a puppet whose strength had reached the realm of heaven and man.

"Changning Wang's background is truly unfathomable." Long Wuji squinted his eyes and smiled, tentatively said, "This puppet in the Heavenly Human Realm is quite in the style of the Tianji Prefecture Artifact Refining School."

"Master Long is indeed well-informed and has excellent vision." Wang Shouzhe toasted with a smile, "This is a damaged puppet that Shouzhe got by accident, and I specially asked Tiangongfang to repair it."

"Haha, Tiangongfang's refining technology is indeed very strong, but the asking price is extremely high." Long Wuji said jokingly while drinking fine wine, "Patriarch Shouzhe is going to bleed a lot."

"Who said it wasn't?" Wang Shouzhe also said with a distressed look on his face, "It cost me 80 dry gold, without any follow-up maintenance fees. However, after all, puppets in the heaven and man realm are rare, and my Wang family's high-end combat power No, I can only grit my teeth and let Tiangongfang kill me. Could it be that it has something to do with Master Long being in Tiangongfang? Can I get a discount?"

"I'm not capable of this." Long Wuji shook his head while drinking wine, and said helplessly, "The people in Tiangongfang are very rigid, and they don't want to get in. The slogan they shouted was, 'Love Repair or not, love to buy or not'. Over the hundreds of years, I have given them many 'offerings', and I can't even get a slight discount."

After having a common "enemy", the two of them seemed to have the feeling of a common enemy. While drinking and drinking, you and I scolded the "no" of "Tiangongfang" one sentence at a time.

After thirty days of drinking, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer.

"Brother Shouzhe, this spirit treasure gourd is not bad. I have only seen it twice in my life." Long Wuji seemed to be a little "slightly drunk", and his tone became more and more casual, "I don't think my brother is a good wine drinker." As a disciple, why don't you make a price and make it cheaper for me, brother."

"Brother Long really knows the goods. The high-end fine wine automatically brewed by this treasure, our Wang family can benefit from 1000 dry gold every year, and the income in 3000 years is 500 million dry gold! I will give Brother Long a [-]% discount. I'll sell it to you for five million dry gold." Wang Shouzhe poured him another glass of wine and quoted the price truthfully.

Speaking of which, Wang Shouzhe was also deeply moved.

In the trial relics of the Shenwu Dynasty, at first he looked down on this spirit treasure gourd that could only make wine.But after using it, I found it really fragrant!
As long as it operates properly, it can continuously bring long-term benefits to the family.If it is calculated in 500 or 1000 years, its value will far exceed that of other treasures.

Sure enough, Long Wuji rolled his eyes: "The price is too high, I can't afford it, Patriarch Shouzhe should keep it and slowly save money."

Not to mention asking Long Wuji to take out 500 million dry gold in one go, even the Qian family whose surname is "Qian", it is difficult to come up with 500 million dry gold in one go.

However, under this interaction, the two seem to be getting more and more "close".

After the heat is almost up.

Long Wuji drank the wine in his glass, and said with "difficulty": "Brother Shouzhe and I really didn't meet each other so late. If we had known each other half a year earlier, how could there be such a misunderstanding?"

"It's also fortunate that there have been no irreconcilable conflicts." Wang Shouzhe also knew that the fire was almost over, so he passed a "ladder" over, "There is still room for negotiation between us."

In the past, the two of you came and went, and fought many times overtly and secretly, in order to win the first place, so as to take the initiative in the negotiation and lead the other party by the nose.

And this process is also a process for both sides to show off their "fist".

Whenever Wang Shouzhe failed to hold on once and was suppressed by Long Wuji's aura, Wang's weight in Long Wuji's heart would be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, after all the preparations, Wang Shouzhe was superior in skill and maintained the initiative to the end.

Long Wuji saw that he could not win the initiative, so he took the opportunity to go down the donkey and said, "That's right, our Jiaolong Chamber of Commerce started out as a businessman, so naturally we must pay attention to peace. Previously, the dog Zhao Wuqing acted recklessly, and was affected by it." It’s time to learn a lesson. I asked him to pay the Wang family 100 million dry gold and come to apologize in person. What do you think, brother Shouzhe?”

Wang Shouzhe played with the wine glass in his hand, and said with a playful smile: "Compensation for one million dry gold? It seems that Brother Long has something to say... It's better to make it clear once, so that I can make a comprehensive assessment."

"Brother Shouzhe is really smart and quick-witted, so I will tell the truth." Long Wuji smiled and said, "The shares of Donggang Port, the two small families in Donggang have all been sold to us. It is our Jiaolong Chamber of Commerce, of course. It belongs to us. In addition, our Jiaolong Gang is willing to follow Qian's example and cooperate with your alliance. Including your Changningwei, our Chamber of Commerce will cover all the sales of goods along the Anjiang River, and only charge [-]% of the value of the goods."

"It doesn't sound like a bad thing." Wang Shouzhe said with a light smile, "I just don't know, what other price does our in-law alliance have to pay?"

"We need some shares of Shouda Commercial Bank and establish a joint cooperation alliance with your Wang family." Long Wuji smiled heartily, "I, Long Wuji, rarely appreciate a person so much, and value a seventh-rank family so much. From From now on, if I have a mouthful of food, I will not be able to miss a mouthful of you, brother."

Wang Shouzhe raised his brows, and instead of answering directly, he held his wine glass and murmured, "Brother Long, I actually have a proposal."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Long Wuji turned sideways slightly, smiling, with an amiable appearance.

"I can let Zhao Wuqing go, but you Jiaolong Gang must promise me that Changning Wang Clan will not set foot in Changningwei waters within a hundred years." Wang Shouzhe said lightly.

The smile on Long Wuji's face suddenly froze, and the sternness in his eyes appeared: "Brother Shouzhe, do you know what you are talking about? You are rejecting my kindness."

Obviously, Wang Shouzhe's words had touched his bottom line, his deep voice was already filled with anger, and he unconsciously carried a bit of coercion when he spoke.

"My Wang family has a small business and a shallow foundation." Wang Shouzhe didn't seem to notice it, and his tone remained calm, "I'm afraid I can't climb the high branch of the Jiaolong Gang. Therefore, I can only live up to Brother Long's kindness. "

Long Wuji leaned over slightly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and stared at Wang Shouzhe like a sharp knife.

"What if I don't agree?"

Wang Shouzhe looked straight at Long Wuji without fear, and said in a firm tone, "It's just a dead fish and a broken net."

"Okay, okay." Long Wuji laughed angrily, "It's been so many years, I don't know how many years, Long has never been threatened like this. I really wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Wang Shouzhe, you It is very disappointing to this seat.”

While speaking, he finally stopped restraining his power, and the vast coercion that belonged only to the strong in the purple mansion suddenly broke out.

There seemed to be a "buzz" in the air.

The majestic power swept across like a twelfth-level hurricane, and the air above the entire Duanlong Gorge was stagnant.

Even, even the torrential river under Duanlong Gorge seemed to be stimulated and suddenly became surging.

If the coercion of the strong in the Heaven and Human Realm is like a mighty river, then the coercion of the strong in the Zifu Realm is like the endless sea. When it is calm, you may not see anything. When the violent wind and hurricane swept across, it was like a natural disaster. Its horror was far beyond that of the strong in the heaven and man realm.

Wang Shouzhe felt a sudden stagnation in his chest, and even his breathing was a little stuffy.

Back then Master Changchun also tried him with the coercion of the Purple Mansion, but compared to Long Wuji, Master Changchun was obviously lenient, and the pressure on him was far less than that of Long Wuji.

However, after all, Wang Shouzhe has been a human being for two lifetimes, his spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of ordinary monks, and his ability to withstand stress is naturally stronger.Even though his chest was stuffy, his face remained calm, and nothing unusual could be seen at all.

In contrast, Wang Zongan standing behind him did not have such good concentration.

As early as the moment when Zifu's coercion broke out, he trembled all over, and his face turned pale.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Human Realm puppet next to him took a step in time and stood in front of him, blocking a considerable part of the coercion for him. Only then did he recover and stabilized.

It was also thanks to him being a great talent, he had awakened the Yimu spirit body long ago, and his ability to withstand coercion was far stronger than that of ordinary monks in the Lingtai realm, otherwise, he would have to make a fool of himself on the spot.

At this moment.

The little fox who had been curled up at Wang Shouzhe's feet also sensed the coercion of the strong man in the purple mansion, and woke up suddenly: "Which bastard dares to disturb my aunt's sleep..."

Just halfway through the words, she sensed that something was wrong, and her eyes suddenly fixed on Long Wuji, and a sharp light burst out from her narrowed fox eyes: "You dare to bully my brother Shou Zhe?!"

While speaking, her figure has swelled wildly.

In the blink of an eye, a huge red demon fox appeared in the gazebo, blocking Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zongan in a protective posture.

This is the ancestor of Firefox in its heyday.

The seven red fox tails spread out behind her with teeth and claws, like a group of demons dancing wildly.The surging coercion of the Zifu suddenly swept away, fierce and domineering, and arbitrarily dispelled Long Wuji's coercion.

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zongan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seven-tailed Firefox?" Long Wuji's breath stagnated, and a trace of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes, "The ancestor of the Firefox of the Yuwen Clan in Longzuo? Why are you here? Could it be that your Yuwen Clan is also planning to fight against my Jiaolong Gang? ?”

However, Wang Shouzhe said loudly: "Don't misunderstand the master, I have a personal relationship with the ancestor of Firefox. The Yuwen family will not participate in the friction between the Jiaolong Gang and my Wang family, and will remain neutral in the future. The master can rest assured .”

In this world, there are many aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Therefore, for a family, development is important, but the most important thing is that it can still be passed on continuously.

It is also for this reason that most aristocratic families tend to be cautious and conservative in their behavior.

If it is not necessary, no family will be willing to go to war with other forces at every turn.

As a result, Yuwen chose to be neutral, and Wang Shouzhe felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and he would not blame them.After all, if they get along differently, he will probably make such a decision.

"Yuwen doesn't join the dispute and remains neutral, but I don't need to listen to them." Seven-tailed Firefox said domineeringly, "In short, I will beat anyone who dares to bully my brother Shouzhe."

This mouthful of "Brother Shouzhe" made Long Wuji's head grow bigger and he also felt extremely nasty. He secretly thought that when your Firefox ancestor became famous, I, Long Wuji, was still a child...Why are you pretending to be cute here?
However, compared with the Xuanwu monks of the same level, all spirit beasts and fierce beasts have stronger combat effectiveness.Even if Long Wuji, a master who has been immersed in the purple mansion for hundreds of years, if he were to fight with the ancestor of Firefox, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

In this way, his plan to rely on the strength of the monks in the Purple Mansion to coerce the Wang family naturally failed.

"Haha~~Brother Shouzhe, I was just joking with you earlier." Long Wuji is also a tyrannical generation, and even if he put away the powerful aura of a cultivator in the Purple Mansion, he smiled heartily and boldly as if nothing had happened. He said, "I'll just ask my brother, why are you willing to cooperate with the Qian family, but not willing to accept my Long Wuji's plan?"

His name for Wang Shouzhe changed very quickly, and he became Shouzhe's brother again in the blink of an eye!

Seeing that Long Wuji retreated knowingly, the seven-tailed fire fox put away his aggressive posture, ready to fight at any time.She took back her real body and turned into a small and exquisite fox again, squatting obediently at Wang Shouzhe's feet.

"Alas~" Wang Shouzhe said with a sigh, "Brother Long has a bold and unruly personality, so Shouzhe doesn't want to make friends. But, Shouzhe still said that, my Wang family has a small business, and I just want to thrive in peace and stability. These vortexes are too big and too deep, our small boat of the Wang family can't stand the toss."

Long Wuji was taken aback when he heard the words, and then suddenly reacted, he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, with great interest: "I didn't expect brother Shouzhe to be so sharp and vigilant, but I gave him another high-level look. Tell me about it." , How on earth did you find out?"

Wang Shouzhe smiled bitterly: "Unexpectedly, I really expected it."

"You test me?"

Long Wuji's eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a dangerous light in them.

Wang Shouzhe got up immediately, and bowed his sleeves in a calm manner: "Brother Long, forgive me. Although Shouzhe originally had a guess, he was only [-]% sure. Because the matter was so important that he didn't dare to make a judgment, he just made a tentative statement, not deliberately offending. "

"Oh?"

Long Wuji became more and more interested now.

He originally thought that Wang Shouzhe was just deceiving him, but he didn't expect that he was [-]% sure.Now he is really curious~
He thought the matter was secret enough, but he really couldn't figure out how Wang Shouzhe found out.

He knocked on the table: "Brother, tell the truth, what did I miss?"

Wang Shouzhe understood that with the importance Long Wuji attached to this matter, he would not allow himself to be fooled.

Immediately, he said categorically: "Actually, it's not that Brother Long has missed something, but the general trend has come. Shouzhe is just a little more sensitive than ordinary people, so he discovered something wrong in advance."

"Tell me in detail."

Long Wuji didn't believe that things would be so simple.

"Since my brother wants to know, Shouzhe naturally dare not hide it." Wang Shouzhe took the opportunity to sit back and organized his words, "Longzuo County is located in the border area, and it has only been more than 1000 years since the land reclamation, so the friction between the families is not considered in general. Seriously, because the development in these years has been relatively stable, and there have been few major changes in the pattern. But in recent years, Shouzhe has discovered that the situation in Longzuo County has begun to change."

"First, Hou Hongde, the first Xiahou of Changning Weicheng, was transferred away. In less than two years, Dingnan Weicheng's 20-year term expired, and he was also transferred away." Wang Shouzhe took a sip from his wine glass, moistened his throat, and then continued He said, "If it's just like this, it's fine, but in less than three years, the city guard of Zhenzewei was dismissed due to dereliction of duty... Something like this has happened more than once in the past ten years."

"In addition to these years, the conflict between the Dantai clan of Donghai Wei and the Tuoba clan has become more and more intense. It's hard for me not to speculate that there is a hand behind this series of events." Wang Shouzhe sighed , "Reminiscent of the unpredictable situation in Beijing and China, it is natural to have some guesses."

Hearing these words, Du Tiangang didn't react yet, but Jiang Yusong couldn't help but his face changed slightly.

Although Wang Shouzhe only said a few simple words, it gave him the feeling that he knew everything about the situation in Longzuo County.To do this, without a sufficiently powerful intelligence network and extremely keen insight, it is simply impossible.

Moreover, any one of what Wang Shouzhe said seems normal if taken out alone. I am afraid that even those local families may not be able to sense the problem, but it is Wang Shouzhe who is far away in Changning who has noticed the problem.

Such terrifying insight and foresight is simply creepy.

Even Long Wuji was thoughtful: "But you still didn't say, what does this have to do with my Jiaolong Gang?"

"The Jiaolong Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce in name, but in fact it is engaged in monopolizing waterways and operating exclusive business, and its influence spans the Anjiang section of several counties. To be honest, it is very difficult for Brother Long to rely on himself alone. Difficult to do. So I presume that you also have someone behind you."

Wang Shouzhe glanced at Long Wuji as he spoke, and seeing that he didn't respond, he continued: "In the past, the Jiaolong Gang didn't develop overseas because there were powerful gangs controlling the sea, and the two sides had a tacit understanding. Now, the Jiaolong Gang is staring at When I went to Donggang, I even intended to bring my Wang family's in-laws alliance under my command. If I said it was only for the benefit of my Wang family, it might not be enough. So Shouzhe ventured to guess that the real purpose of the Jiaolong Gang is actually the sea. And this must have something to do with the plot of the person behind the scenes."

Speaking of this, Wang Shouzhe sighed, cupped his hands at Long Wuji, and smiled wryly: "My Wang family is a mere seventh-rank family, which is insignificant in the overall situation... Please let me go."

"Please let me go? Haha~~ It's interesting, brother Shouzhe is really smart and full of wit." Long Wuji laughed heartily, "However, you still underestimate the importance of Changningwei. Although this place is remote, it is The sea area can be expanded in the east, the Anjiang line can be contained in the west, and the extraterritorial territory can be expanded infinitely in the south.

"However, you, Wang Shouzhe, are also an extraordinary genius. At the mere age of less than fifty, you can take charge of the universe, turn the clouds and rains, and turn a family that is about to decline into a seventh-rank family. No, I believe that ordinary sixth-rank families They are not as good as you. This kind of ability is not something ordinary people can have."

"Brother Shouzhe, if you are willing to bet in advance..." Long Wuji looked at Wang Shouzhe with obvious admiration in his eyes, and his tone was a little more sincere, "Your Wang's future is limitless, don't worry about it." Missed opportunity."

"Brother Long's meaning, Shouzhe understands. But, I'm afraid I want to thank my brother for falling in love with me wrongly. My Wang family still prefers to develop slowly and steadily." Wang Shouzhe bowed again, "Our Changningwei area is in the general trend of the world. It's just a drop in the ocean, and it's not a battleground for military strategists. Please give me a hand, Brother Long~"

"Okay!" Long Wuji said briskly, "Since my brother has repeatedly asked, I will make the decision and let Chang Ningwei go for now. However, 100 years is too long, I can't agree."

"Brother means..." Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly.

"50 years. I will only give you 50 years. With the ability of Shouzhe brother, 50 years will definitely be able to develop Changningwei very well. Whether it is sea area development or external development, there will be initial results." Long Wuji calmly Said, "These 50 years are enough for you to fully understand the changes in the overall situation of the world. At that time, the situation in Beijing and China will also become clear. At that time, any chess piece is very precious to that person, and I will not allow you to push back and forth." gone."

50 years?that one?
Wang Shouzhe secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

In the previous 100 years, it was just the lion's big mouth, and there was already room for discounts.To win 50 years this time is already earned.

Immediately, Wang Shouzhe agreed: "Then it's a deal. After 50 years, you and I will continue today's agreement."

"This time, brother, you won. You not only caught Zhao Wuqing's handle, but also disintegrated my plan to overwhelm others. This has won you 50 years." Long Wuji looked into Wang Shouzhe's eyes. , with a touch of dignity and seriousness, "However, it may not be so smooth next time. Brother, don't take chances."

"Thank you, Brother Long, for reminding me." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands in thanks.

After a pause, he raised his head suddenly, and added: "However, should I call the big master Brother Long, or Brother Ang?"

Long Wuji's expression froze.

After counting breaths, he laughed loudly: "Interesting, interesting. Brother Shouzhe, I am more optimistic about you. Long Mou will leave first, and we will go to today's appointment after 50 years. Brother Shouzhe, don't let me down My expectations!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a surging cyan light roared out, instantly enveloping him and Jiang Yusong and Du Tiangang behind him.

"Boom boom~"

The rays of the sun swept up, straight into the sky, mighty and mighty, just like the mighty river waves, the gorgeous light almost dyed half of the sky blue.

But soon, the gorgeous cyan glow flew across the sky and disappeared far into the sky.

Looking out from the gazebo, there is no more sunlight in the sky, only faint white clouds lingering around, as if everything just now had never happened.

Until this time, Wang Zongan, who had been studying and observing, cupped his hands with some worry on his face and said, "Father, after 50 years, are we really going to be forced to be involved in that battle?"

"If the timing and target are right, it might not be impossible." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Zong An, what have you learned from today's incident?"

"Father, Zong'an understands." Wang Zong'an looked serious, "Only when you are strong can you control your own destiny. Otherwise, you will be a pawn in the hands of others. If you want to live, you will live, if you want you to die, you will die."

"No, being a father means that you should get married sooner and contribute more to the family~" Wang Shouzhe looked at him with a smile, "Being a father also wants to have a grandson sooner~"

"..."

Wang Zongan's body shook, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.Co-authoring this majestic young patriarch, he is just a tool for breeding children~~~
