protect our patriarch

Chapter 373 Me!Zong'an's great arrogance!make money
……

Guilong City is also known as Shangjingcheng or the imperial capital.

It has always been the political, military, economic, military, cultural, and even the center of the Dagan country. It can be said that it is the heart of the entire Dagan country.

Therefore, this is also a good place to make a name for yourself and climb up the ladder.

Every year, I don't know how many young masters who are motivated, or powerful families who are unwilling to be local tyrants forever, come here, trying to make some name for themselves in Guilong City.

But most of them came here excitedly and returned listlessly.

Only a very few of the very few can barely gain a foothold in Guilong City, and then rely on reproduction and accumulation from generation to generation, and finally become a part of Guilong City.

Because of this, people living in Guilong City often have a natural sense of superiority, and are more arrogant than local powerful families.

The birth of Liyao's great talent turned out to penetrate the young generation of Guilong City with an invincible posture. While making her fame soar, it also shattered the inner pride of the young generation of Guilong City, deeply stimulated them.

Many young Tianjiao began to work hard and entered the penance mode.

Especially Wu Zhixing, the king of the small county who was beaten to faint on the spot, has been urged by the elders in his family to practice daily, and the treasures of heaven and earth and panacea are thrown at him as if they don't need money.It is so that one day, Wu Zhixing can avenge his shame and prove to the world that the royal family is still the strongest.

In addition, Shangguan Yunque, who belonged to the Long Shangguan family of the fourth-rank family, also lived in seclusion, and spent his days practicing hard or comprehending the way of heaven.

Moreover, under his strong request, the family's total resources are constantly leaning towards him.

As a great arrogance, Shangguan Yunque is the key to the Shangguan family's promotion to the third rank in the future, and his status within the Shangguan family is undoubtedly extremely high.As long as he has needs, the family will definitely do everything possible to meet his growth.

As an aristocratic family that has been ranked among the "Top Ten Aristocratic Families" in Guilong City, the Shangguan family belongs to an aristocratic family with outstanding reputation and high prestige even in Guilong City where there are many wealthy families.

The Shangguan family's main residence is located in the south of Guilong City. As the family became stronger and stronger, this main residence has been expanded several times, and the scale has become extremely large.

The exterior wall of the main house presents an irregular shape and twists and turns, like a "city wall".The area surrounded by this "city wall" is almost equivalent to the size of a medium-sized town in the area in terms of area alone.

Among them, the courtyard is densely populated, with countless trees and flowers, and there is even an artificial lake covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres, as well as a winding and complex artificial water system that runs through the entire main house.

This is the strength and heritage of a fourth-rank wealthy family. Even in Guilong City, where every inch of land is expensive, they can still have such a luxurious and huge main house.

Purely in terms of history and background, the current Changning Wang family is still far inferior to Guilong Shangguan's.But in terms of development potential, the Shangguan family is far inferior to the Changning Wang family.

In the backyard of Shangguan's main house, there is a large martial arts arena covering an area of ​​one thousand mu.

The great Tianjiao Shangguan Yunque is diligently practicing Xuanwu combat skills.

He is wearing a simple and thick Xuanling Armor, just like an ancient war general, holding a Xuanling Spear full of evil spirits. Every move and style is not fancy at all. fierce trend.

Behind him, a huge and solid unicorn is as real as it is, majesticly following Shangguan Yunque back and forth in the martial arts arena, running like the wind, roaring like thunder, showing the peerless fierce aura of the king of beasts.

That's right, Shangguan Yunque's main skill is battlefield warfare.

In terms of fighting alone, he may suffer a little loss, but once he is on the battlefield with thousands of troops, he will be able to cross the enemy's line, sweep and intersperse, and do everything without injustice.

Speaking of which, Shangguan Yunque is also a man of great luck.

His set of Lingbao-level Xuanling Armor and Xuanling Spear, as well as the kung fu "Kirin Xuanling True Method" he practiced, were all obtained by virtue of his strength and luck from the relics passed down secretly by his family.

Once he joins the army in the future, it is very likely that he will make great achievements in battle, come out of the battlefield to find a Marquis, and win the title of Marquis for the Shangguan family that will be passed down from generation to generation.

At that time, the Shangguan family will be able to rank among the nobles and receive a series of preferential treatment, thus greatly enhancing the Shangguan family's heritage.

As for the position of duke, Shangguan did not dare to expect extravagantly.After all, Dagan was extremely cautious about making the prince a duke. If he hadn't founded the country from Conglong, or had meritorious deeds against the sky, there was almost no possibility of making him a duke.

There are thousands of aristocratic families in such a large family. At present, there are only two duke mansions and two marquis mansions.

far away.

The disciples of the Shangguan Clan cast adoring and admiring eyes on Shangguan Yunque when they were cultivating.That is the great pride of our Shangguan clan, the hope for the rise of the family in the future.

In the minds of many young generations of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yunque is a god-like figure.Even Wu Zhixing of the royal family can only achieve his current prestige by relying on the support of the royal family and the supply of countless precious resources. It is not certain who is better than the other in a different place.

As for the rumors in the market, there was a private battle between Liyao Tianjiao and Shangguan Yunque, and Shangguan Yunque was completely defeated in the end.Regarding this point, no one in the Shangguan family believed it, and they all thought it was just Li Yao's bragging.

What is the strength of Shangguan Yunque?That's the pride of the seventh floor of the Heaven-Human Realm, how could he lose to a woman who is under seventy?

Just as Shangguan Yunque was working hard to cultivate, a concierge suddenly came in a hurry and came to Shangguan Yunque's side to report a few words in a low voice.

Shangguan Yunque's expression changed from astonishment to surprise, and then to solemnity, and then he explained a few words to the general who informed him, then took off his armor and left in a hurry.

Two hours later, the interior of Shangguan's main house.

In the [Xiankelin] water pavilion specially used to entertain distinguished guests, a group of young and beautiful maids moved lightly with lotus steps, and served plate after plate of rare and exotic fruits, dried meat and fish, candied candies, etc. tasty.

These snacks, no matter what kind they are, are all treasures with excellent materials and careful production.

And those accompanying maids are all young and beautiful, with outstanding temperament, their aura is deep and restrained, obviously they are all maids with Xuanwu cultivation base.

If maids of this level are placed in the places of the various counties and guards, they will be the jewels in the palm of the eighth and ninth rank families.

Such ostentation is worthy of a wealthy family with thousands of years of accumulation.

However, even in Shangguan's, this is already an extremely high standard of hospitality, and not every guest is qualified to enjoy such treatment.

In the Xianke Linshui Pavilion, there are only a few people on both sides of the host and the guest, and each of them is a man with an outstanding temperament, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi.

The one in the main seat is a man in purple formal attire with a calm demeanor and restrained sharpness.

He has a gentle temperament, mature and stable in every move, and his attitude is neither overbearing nor humble when smiling and polite, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze and feel at home.

His name is Shangguan Zhenhai, and he is a handsome and talented person in the Shangguan family lineage. He has been the head of the family for 200 years now.After he came to the throne, he didn't dare to say that the Shangguan family took off thousands of miles, but it was also thriving, which was different from the past.

It can be said that this is a very accomplished house owner.

Shangguan Zhenhai was born in Tianjiao. Although he was not among the top ten outstanding youths when he was young, he had various bright moments.What he is best at is the basaltic swordsmanship handed down by Shangguan's family [Pojun Jianjue]. The sword is powerful and heroic, and he is dubbed "a sword to suppress the sea".

Fifty years ago, Shangguan Zhenhai had already broken through the shackles of the heaven and man realm, and became the No. 50 Zifu realm patriarch of the Shangguan clan.It stands to reason that after the Patriarch of a fourth-rank aristocratic family arrives in the Purple Mansion, he will step down as the Patriarch and concentrate on cultivation.

However, first of all, Shangguan Zhenhai did a good job, and his family prospered during his reign.

Secondly, the Shangguan family was lucky enough to produce a great talent, who is expected to be promoted to the third rank in the future.Therefore, the ostentation must be on a higher level, and it must be on par with the third rank everywhere.

As a result, the Shangguan family tacitly continued to support Shangguan Zhenhai as the head of the family and adapt to the situation in advance.And the subsequent successor to the throne of the Shangguan clan's patriarch must not be lower than Shangguan Zhenhai's level.

In addition to Shangguan Zhenhai, the Patriarch of the Zifu Realm, the main person responsible for the reception was a gray-bearded elder of the Zifu Realm who was equally imposing, and the pride of the Shangguan clan, Shangguan Yunque.

In addition, there was also a mature and beautiful woman with a peach-like temperament - Shangguan Bilian.

It stands to reason that Madam Bilian, as a married woman, is not suitable to participate in the affairs of her clan.It's just that among the distinguished guests who came this time, one was the young patriarch of the Ning Wang family, the head of Longzuo County.

Mrs. Bilian and the Changning Wang family belong to the sixth-rank family of Longzuo, and they also have contacts on weekdays. With her presence as a lubricant, it is easier for the two sides to communicate.

In the past, visitors from the Changning Wang family, who had never even heard of their names, did not need to be taken seriously at all. At most, for the sake of the four characters "six-rank family", they sent an ordinary elder of the heavenly realm to entertain them. thing.

But since Liyao Tianjiao swept the imperial capital, the status of the Changning Wang family has also risen, and suddenly entered the vision of many bigwigs.Even for the sake of Li Yao's arrogance, no one dares to despise the Changning Wang family.

However, the young patriarch of the Changning Wang family is not qualified to make the Shangguan family pay so much attention to it. The reason why it is extra solemn is because one of the contemporary quasi-emperors, King An, is among the visitors.

King An is not as good as King Kang, he is also a quasi-emperor, a majestic prince of the heavenly pride.Even if he fails to fight for the throne in the future, he will still be a prince of supernatural powers in the future.

How can the Shangguan family neglect such people?

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides sat down separately, and the atmosphere was a little serious and dignified.

In Shangguan's eyes, King An came to Beijing this time, accompanied by the young patriarch of Changning Wang, probably because he wanted Shangguan to stand in line?
If he refuses, will Anjun Wang feel suspicious?
It was also because of this reason that everyone in the Shangguan family didn't say anything on the surface, but they were more or less indifferent in their hearts.You are too ignorant, Prince An, if you have to put it on the table for such an almost impossible matter, wouldn't it be difficult for each of you to step down?

"Hehehe~" Mrs. Bilian saw the solemn atmosphere, she laughed a few times and said, "I didn't expect to go back to my mother's house in the imperial capital to stay for a while, and I could see the young patriarch of Zong'an here. I haven't seen you for a year or two, young patriarch. His demeanor is better than in the past, quite a bit of the calm demeanor of the head of the Shouzhe family."

Wang Zong'an responded with a smile: "Madam is ridiculous. In terms of demeanor, Zong'an is not as good as his father, but Madam's complexion has become more and more radiant, and Zong'an dare not recognize him just now."

"That's natural. Being far away from your father makes my heart feel better." Mrs. Bilian smiled coquettishly. Yuanshui Qingjiao. Congratulations, I hope it will succeed in transforming into a dragon as soon as possible, and become the spirit beast of the Wang clan."

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, after the Wang family has a town clan spirit beast in the purple mansion, shouldn't they try their best to rub against our Firefox ancestor?

"Zong An has been away from home for some time, and I only learned about it through correspondence." Wang Zong'an responded gracefully, "I just didn't expect to meet my wife in Shangjing. Zong An is very happy to meet an old friend in a foreign land. .”

Congratulations you bastard.

Madam Bilian secretly rolled her eyes.

She has stayed at her mother's house for so long, isn't it your father who threatened and lured her?I was born as a fourth-rank legitimate daughter of Shangguan Bilian, but I was coaxed and tricked by your father and tied to a boat.

The most important thing is that so far she has not taken advantage of Wang Shouzhe at all.

But these words couldn't be said out loud, Madam Bilian put on a show and smiled sweetly and said: "Speaking of which, this can be considered as fate. Tonight at the welcome banquet, you and I will have a few more drinks."

Afterwards, the two had another conversation without nutrition.However, the atmosphere quickly became active.

Shangguan Yunque on the side frowned secretly.The relationship between my younger sister and the Wang family in Changning is deeper than I imagined, and I even know many things about the family that are short-sighted.

There was Wang Liyao in the front, and Wang Zongan in the back. It was his younger sister, Shangguan Bilian, who was secretly contributing to the flames. This made him think too much.

Immediately, he coughed and said to Wang Zong'an: "Young Patriarch Zong'an and His Highness the County King have come together this time. Could it be that, as the rumors say, your Changning Wang family and..."

This remark was left halfway, which attracted the eyes of everyone in the Shangguan family.

"The rumors are true." Wang Zongan said with a light smile, "Our Changning Wang family has decided to assist His Royal Highness Prince An to win the position of emperor as much as possible. My sister came to the imperial capital to gain a wave of prestige for Prince An Create momentum with my Wang family."

As soon as these words came out, there was no difference between Shangguan Zhenhai and Shangguan Liyan, another great elder in the Zifu Realm, as if they were all expected.

All the battles of the Great Tianjiao have a purpose, but this time the purpose is actually not difficult to guess.

All of them are old and mature characters, so they naturally understand that this is probably an act of the King of An's side, launching an iconic banner of the great Tianjiao, and fighting against Gongyang Ce of the King of Kang's side.

But this time in the battle of the great genius, Miss Liyao's record is far better than that of Gongyang Ce back then, and her prestige is so high that it has faintly overshadowed Gongyang Ce.

It can be expected that in the battle between the emperor and the sons after the end of the battle between the emperor and the sons, Liyao Tianjiao will inevitably become a formidable opponent that Gong Yangce cannot avoid.

Don't look at Gongyang Ce who has taken the lead in entering the Purple Mansion Realm, but at the level of Da Tianjiao, he pays more attention to blood potential, willpower, and heart.

After all, generally speaking, the Da Tianjiao's promotion to the Purple Mansion Realm will not exceed 250 years old at the latest, and the process is as easy as it will come naturally.With Liyao's bloodline qualifications, when the battle for the Holy Son really starts, he will already be a strong person in the Purple Mansion Realm.

Among the crowd, only Shangguan Yunque's expression was faintly embarrassed, because he was one of the stepping stones for Wang Liyao's reputation to be gained in the legend.Now all over the capital, there are rumors that he, Shangguan Yunque, had a private fight with Wang Liyao and was beaten into a dog.

But the real situation is that he, Shangguan Yunque, just lost half a chip.And this half of the chip is still lost in the equipment. If he also has supernatural powers and spiritual treasures to help out, it is still unknown who will win or lose in the battle.

But this is something that can’t be helped, except for top aristocratic families with a deep heritage like the royal family, who can say that if they come up with a magical treasure, they will come up with a magical treasure?The Shangguan family is still only the fourth rank, and there is no place to borrow a treasure of the level of supernatural powers and spirit treasures even if they want to borrow them.

And this rumor was mostly made by Prince Dexin's lineage, in order to distract everyone's attention and make everyone pay less attention to the fiasco of Wu Zhixing, the prince of the small county.

Shangguan Yunque was in a bad mood, and said lightly: "King An, the patriarch of Zong'an. Please forgive me Shangguan Yunque's arrogance. Even with the support of Liyao, your chances of winning are still a bit weak. Besides, our Shangguan clan is A loyal minister, no matter which county king inherits the throne, he will unconditionally support him."

His attitude was very clear.And his statement also represented Shangguan's true attitude. He declined Prince An's solicitation on the pretext of neutrality, implying that there is no need to say something that hurts feelings, so as not to embarrass everyone.

And with the great Tianjiao Shangguan Yunque at the top, if something happens, the head of the family, Shangguan Zhenhai, has not yet spoken, so there is still room for change.

"Yun Que misunderstood." An Junwang seemed to have expected their reaction, and he smiled casually, "Wu's coming to Beijing this time is not to use Li Yao's power to convince the big families and princes. Stand in line. For specific matters, Patriarch Zong'an is still in charge of explaining."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Shangguan family looked at each other, and then looked at Wang Zongan with suspicion.

Wang Zongan coughed and said seriously: "Let's not talk about whether the emperor is the emperor or not. After all, no matter which county king will inherit the throne in the future, the big and small families we work hard have to live and have to live. Heirs still have to cultivate heirs."

"Our aristocratic family pays the most attention to two points. One is the continuous inheritance for thousands of years, and the other is striving for a higher level so that the clansmen can live a better life."

Everyone is a member of the aristocratic family, what Wang Zongan said is very true, everyone in the Shangguan family nodded secretly.

"And to achieve those two goals, one word is inseparable - 'money'. If we have money, we can buy Wuji Treasure Pills, or go to the Immortal Dynasty to get higher-level treasures of heaven, material and earth, or even You can spend money at any cost to buy a magical treasure." Wang Zongan smiled, his attitude was as gentle as jade, "Why can't ordinary fourth-rank families afford to cultivate a great talent? Everyone knows that a great talent wants to grow into a supernatural power. Or, to say the least, it will take six to seven hundred years, and the various resources consumed during this period, converted into dry gold, will be between 700 million and [-] million."

"Even if it is a relatively strong presence in the fourth-rank family like the Shangguan family, and the master who is good at management like Senior Zhenhai, I am afraid that you have to tighten your belt to train a brother Yunque?"

Everyone in the Shangguan family heard the words, their faces were a little stiff and ugly.

What Wang Zong'an said is right. It is a huge system project to train a great genius to the level of supernatural powers, and the consumption is even more massive.

Although Shangguan Yunque has not yet reached the Zifu Realm, the current consumption seems "very easy", but in fact, if he does not plan ahead and save up the huge amount of funds he needs for subsequent promotion in advance, when he arrives at Zifu After the government border, maybe there will be big problems.

After all, even if you are a great talent, you only have a relatively high probability of being able to advance to the supernatural realm. If the resources are not available, it is very likely that you will not be able to successfully advance until the end of your lifespan because your cultivation speed cannot keep up.

And once the cultivation of supernatural powers fails, the family's massive resource investment will be in vain, and the whole family may fall into a slump.

Especially Shangguan Yunque's expression was sullen.

When he increased consumption recently, although the family fully supported him, he knew that the family had to deduct the resources of other family members because of this, especially the ancestors of the purple mansion in the family. own resource consumption.

Everything is paving the way for Shangguan Yunque's future, which makes him very uncomfortable.

This is the fundamental reason why most of the fourth-rank aristocratic families want to become third-rank, but they are somewhat hesitant.The family background is not thick enough to afford it!

"What's more, after becoming a supernatural power, you have to consider the problem of supernatural powers and spiritual treasures." Wang Zongan sighed, "There is still a big gap between supernatural powers and spiritual treasures. I want to find out There is no need for Zong An to repeat the price of a magical treasure."

Shangguan Yunque's face turned dark.

He stared at Wang Zongan with bad eyes.

Which pot is your boy, which pot does not open and which pot you don’t lift?If I have magical powers and spiritual treasures, even if I am far from being able to display my full strength in the realm of heaven and man, I will not be beaten by your sister...

Wang Liyao has a supernatural master who sells pots and irons to get her a supernatural treasure, and Wu Zhixing also has a supernatural treasure bestowed by Emperor Longchang. It's a pity that Shangguan Yunque's family is poor... and can't afford a supernatural treasure.

Thinking about it makes my heart suffocate.

Shangguan Zhenhai and Shangguan Liyan also looked slightly embarrassed. Originally, they felt pretty good about themselves, but the more they listened, the more unpleasant they became.

The situation of the Shangguan family was all told by Wang Zongan.

With the current funds of their family, it is actually a bit reluctant to cultivate a supernatural power in the next five to six hundred years, and there is a feeling of stretching.

At present, they can also supply Shangguan Yunque by reducing the share of other tribesmen. After he is promoted to the Zifu realm in the future, if he wants to continue to maintain the current high-speed cultivation mode, he will probably have to sell the clan property.

As for the magical treasure...

Forget it, unless you sell most of your ancestral property if you hurt your muscles and bones, it will be difficult to afford it.

Madam Bilian at the side also rolled her eyes secretly.

This patriarch An Shao seemed to be quite honest and responsible on weekdays, but he did not expect to inherit his father's eloquence.This kid is hiding really deep.

Among the fourth-rank family, the Guilong Shangguan family is actually considered to be a well-developed wealthy family, but with his exaggeration and analysis, it feels like they are so poor that they have to beg for food.

"Young Patriarch Zong'an, are you here to mock our Shangguan family? Or to show off that your sister is trained in a school and has supernatural powers early?" Shangguan Yunque looked at Wang Zongan with a gloomy look, and his tone was not very good.

"Come to show off? Hehe, of course I don't have that much time to spare." Wang Zongan said with a calm but a little bit of pride, "I, Wang Zongan, am 65 years old. I am not talented, and I am also a great talent."

"It's here to bring everyone together to make a fortune."

Before everyone could react, a vast and pure Yimu Xuanqi surged up from his body, and instantly turned into a majestic force and swept out.

The third floor of the Heaven-Human Realm! ! !
At this age, with this level of cultivation, he is undoubtedly the pride of heaven!
Mrs. Bilian's eyes were staring straight at the side, Zong An is also a proud child?

It's hidden too deep~ Besides, that stinky guy Shouzhe is too capable, two consecutive children are the arrogance of heaven, and his bloodline is so strong?
For a moment, Mrs. Bilian's eyes were a little dazed, and she unconsciously licked the corners of her lips, evoking a strong sense of greed.

If given the chance...
