protect our patriarch

Chapter 434 The Son of Luck "Broken Halberd" in love!Wind and Cloud Resurrection (ask for a monthly ticket)

……

Changning Weixinping Town River.

On patrol ship No. [-].

Wang Anye and the others returned to the patrol boat. He was distributing money, and a stack of ten small money tickets was distributed to the ten soldiers of the patrol team: "Everyone has worked hard."

Each one has a denomination of twenty thousand gold.

"No hard work, no hard work, work hard for the rise of the Wang family."

"Thank you, Seventh Young Master."

"Seventh Young Master is becoming more and more powerful and handsome, as if a real fairy descended to earth."

A series of words of gratitude and flattery went on and on, and all of them were very pleasant to hear.

These patrols are all clan soldiers selected by the Wang family since childhood. Their ancestors have lived under the Wang family's wings for several generations, and their loyalty can stand the test.

Of course, Wang's investment in them is not small.A "Spiritual Enlightenment Pill" can upgrade their bloodline aptitude from "Scrap Grade A" to Low Grade D, and obtain the qualification to practice basalt.

In addition to teaching basalt combat skills, the Ancestral Military Academy affiliated with Ethnology is also very strict on cultural courses. Every year, they will be sorted according to their scores in liberal arts and martial arts, and give extra subsidies to those who perform well.

The best among them will also have the opportunity to be admitted to Wang Clan Studies, receive a more elite education, and have a brighter future.

Such layers of selection and motivation also make every clan soldier work very hard, and their overall quality is quite excellent.

After they graduate, they will enter different departments and positions within the Wang family. They can receive basic support, housing subsidies, spiritual food subsidies, pill subsidies, etc. every year, and their salaries are very generous.

For example, an excellent clan soldier on the fifth floor of the Qi Refining Realm can receive about [-] thousand gold in total in terms of comprehensive supplies and support every year.

This treatment is already better than that of most of the direct descendants of the eighth and ninth rank families of the Dagan Kingdom.

But even so, Wang Anye's reward of twenty thousand gold tickets was already considered a very generous income for them.

As for Shen Tu Hongyi, the captain of the patrol team No. [-], this middle-aged man who is usually unsmiling and strict in the eyes of his subordinates and ordinary people, is smiling brightly at this moment, full of flattery: "The villain is right for the seventh young master!" Your admiration is like the rushing water of the Anjiang River, and you are like the scorching sun in the sky, guiding the villain all the time... You have given too much."

That appearance, it seemed that as long as the Seventh Young Master gave an order, he would dare to slash at the emperor with a knife in his hand.

No way, who doesn't know that the seventh son of Wang's "An" generation is a walking God of Wealth?Who doesn't like the God of Wealth?

"Uncle Shentu, take it. You are different from those young people. You have a big family to support." Wang Anye said with a smile, "I accidentally picked up some treasures and a bunch of spiritual stones when I went out to sea to herd fish this time. Since If you are destined to meet here, it is natural for those who see you to have a share."

Shentu Hongyi belongs to the general line of the Lingtai Jing family, and his income is actually not cheap. The total annual income is more than [-] dry gold (including various materials. But he married an excellent woman from the Wang family, and he has given birth to several children. They are all promising, and now they even have grandchildren, so the annual expenses are naturally not small.

As an elder, you have to subsidize outstanding children, right?Who doesn't want kids to be able to go higher and further?

The family is like this, each small family gathers together, and finally condenses a huge and incomparable force.

The two thousand gold ticket that An Ye gave naturally relieved the financial pressure of Shentu Hongyi's small family.

"Sister-in-law Seven, just now An Song was quite offended."

As a direct descendant of the Wang family, Wang Ansong cleverly patted Wu Xuening's flattery. While pouring tea and handing over water, Wu Xuening was elated with the phrase "sister-in-law seven", and he forgave that brat Ansong from the bottom of his heart.

"Ansong, what nonsense are you talking about? I haven't written off my relationship with Anye yet." Wu Xuening glanced at Wang Anye quietly, and then rewarded Wang Ansong with a golden ticket with a smile on her face. I didn’t bring any presents, but if you like something, just buy some by yourself.”

Zijin ticket!
"Ansong thanks Seventh Sister-in-law for her support."

After shouting excitedly, Wang Ansong fell into a trance while being excited.Even if he is a direct descendant of the Wang family, it is not easy for him to meet Zijin Piao.

What is the origin of this new seventh sister-in-law?Not only is he extremely powerful at a young age, it seems that he is not much worse than Seventh Brother, and his net worth is so rich?
It's no wonder that Wu Xuening was born in Rongjun Wangfu.

Although King Rong's military strength is not outstanding among the royal family's princes, he is still a young prince with good roots, and he is not the kind of person who likes to spend money.

And Wu Xuening's mother's family is the Chen family, a thriving third-rank family with talents.

Wu Xuening, who is doted on by two families, naturally has a full purse.

What's more, Wu Xuening is still the supernatural power of the royal family, no matter whether it is the emperor or the clan's house, they will give them a lot of subsidies.

"You kid..."

Wang Anye was also very speechless about the "shamelessness" of his twelfth brother.This kid really didn't inherit the "simplicity" of Grandpa Zong Sheng at all.

"Brother Seven, didn't you pick up a lot of spirit stones this time?" Wang Ansong approached Wang Anye with a shy smile, "Can you give some of them to your poor twelfth brother to practice?"

"No, it's also very hard for your seventh brother to pick up spirit stones. Every time you have to bend over and get up, or you have to use your profound energy to inhale, and occasionally you have to kick the stones with your feet."

"Seventh brother..." Wang Ansong was about to cry.

I can help you pick them up~~ I'm not afraid of hard work.

There are spirit stones to pick up, let alone kicking stones, he is willing to kick mountains.

……

About the same time period.

Liuxian Valley.

Stay in Xianju.

At some point, Emperor Longchang had already stepped out of the chess booth, and happily played a game of fighting black and white with Wang Shouzhe.

Think about it and it is true.

Emperor Longchang, who tried his best to fail to catch Wang Shouzhe's braid, is holding back his strength at the moment, and it is really difficult to make up for it in other ways. Naturally, the best way to educate Shouzhe is to play chess.

"Shou Zhe, 30 years have passed, and I am very pleased that your chess skills are still so good." Emperor Longchang held a teapot in one hand, sipping spiritual tea, and twisted the chess piece with the other hand, and the more The next one is more rosy and full of energy.

However, Wang Shouzhe did not feel ashamed at all because of losing chess. Instead, he asked for food supplements: "Your Majesty, you are staying in the Wang family, and Shouzhe is naturally very welcome. It's just that the Wang family has limited financial resources and cannot afford to support one." Great Emperor."

There are some things that should be wanted naturally.

The physical strength of a Xuanwu cultivator in Lingxu Realm is extremely terrifying, even if it is just to maintain his daily consumption, it will require an astronomical sum of money.If the emperor opened his mouth to eat, even the current Wang family would not be able to afford it.

This is just the consumption of a great emperor in the early stage of Lingxu Realm.

If it were a Lingxu Realm cultivator who still wanted to go up and be promoted to a higher level, the resources consumed would be even greater, and the whole country would have to tighten their belts.

In other words, with the size of the current Dagan Kingdom, it is impossible to raise a real fairyland, and even cannot afford to pay for it.

"Shouzhe, look at you, don't start talking about him once you lose the game." Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, my pension will be provided by the clan's mansion and the treasury of Dagan. In your Wang family, you eat and drink for free."

Although the emperor has a thick skin, he also knows how amazing his consumption is.Even a third-rank family like the Chen family and the Dagan Wang family may not be able to support him, let alone the Wang family?
He is not shameless enough to kill the Wang family.

"Since that's the case, Shouzhe can rest assured." Wang Shouzhe began to play chess with the emperor at ease.

It's just losing chess, but not losing people or money, he doesn't mind how many times he comes here.

"Small." After muttering, Emperor Longchang continued to play chess and abused dishes, "By the way, are you still going to fight the barbarian Gu tribe in Southern Border? When will you fight? Can you give me a letter?"

The conquest of southern Xinjiang can be said to be the last thorn in Emperor Longchang's heart, and he does not want to end his life with this regret.

"Your Majesty, that is the work prepared by Di Zi'an." Wang Shouzhe said, "How can I, the patriarch of a small sixth-rank family, give His Majesty the approval?"

"Stop doing this." Emperor Longchang said angrily, "The frequency of communication between you and Di Zi'an is almost catching up with the time when young people are in love. Isn't it your suggestion to him to suspend the Southern Xinjiang Raiders?"

"Your Majesty, Di Zi'an has indeed discussed this matter with me. It's just that although the strategic plan proposed by Prince Feikang is generally feasible, it still has many shortcomings. If you act rashly, you will suffer greatly." serious.

"I think that plan is very good. It should be feasible to conquer the barbarian Gu tribe in southern Xinjiang. You two won't be inferior to the King of Kangjun, right?" Emperor Longchang said with wide-eyed eyes, "Don't patronize farming all day long!" And the development of internal affairs, if you have that time, it is better to take down the southern border and digest it, and you can immediately greatly increase the national strength."

"Your Majesty, you also said that you need to 'digest' it after it is defeated." Wang Shouzhe was a little helpless, and said as he said, "The difficulty of this matter lies in the word 'digestion'. The folk culture of the barbarian Gu in southern Xinjiang and Dagan is very different, and believes in witchcraft, and has a strong sense of repulsion and hostility towards foreign tribes, especially us Dagan. The result of launching a war rashly is "easy to lay down and difficult to digest."

"However, rest assured, Your Majesty, Di Zi'an already has a specific method of digestion, and is already preparing for this work, but there are still some preparations that have not been completed. It won't be long before a full-scale attack on southern Xinjiang will be launched."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Emperor Longchang felt relieved all of a sudden, "Shouzhe, you and the emperor Anjun are known for their stability, with such careful planning, there shouldn't be any problem in taking down Southern Border. Congratulations in advance on a successful start."

Just when the emperor was in a good mood, Lao Yao, Wu Xuening, Wang Anye and others arrived at Liuxian Valley.

At the beginning.

Emperor Longchang was still a little embarrassed, after all, at the most critical moment, he "abandoned" Lao Yao and girl Xue Ning, tearing up the space and retreating first.

But half an hour later.

Emperor Longchang roared angrily in Liuxian Valley: "No! I will never allow this, you are going to marry into the Immortal Dynasty."

"Grandpa, but he's already with An Ye... how can he marry to Xianchao? With such a reputation, he won't want it."

"Injustice~~Wang Shouzhe, look at what you bastard has done! Why did my Wu family offend your Wang family, and you want to treat me like this?"

"I shouldn't have come here! I shouldn't have come!"

"..."

Wang Shouzhe was speechless.How could this be blamed on him?
However, this is really another headache.Not to mention that the emperor was angry, he was actually a little annoyed.

He immediately stared at Wang Anye with unfriendly eyes.You kid, it's not enough to provoke a little princess, but you even provoked another.This is a really bad ending.

What can we do?

let's hit!Hit it to death~~
At that moment, Wang Shouzhe rolled up his sleeves, picked up the guy, and personally grabbed An Ye and beat him up.

There is no way, Anye's father, Shizhao, is now in Shangjing to help Emperor An manage the government affairs, and his grandfather Zong'an is also digging canals in Anbeiwei, and they are not in Ping'an Town. As a great grandfather, he can only do it himself.

If you don't beat Emperor Longchang until his heart softens, I'm afraid it will be difficult~
……

For the time being, let's not mention the turmoil and chaos within the Wang family.

Around the same time period, Guilong City suburbs.

In this almost endless vast area, there are countless manors.Most of them belong to the royal family, or under the name of the clan mansion, or under the name of a certain prince or county king.

This is also one of the benefits of founding a country.

The royal family established the country here, established the initial capital, and naturally occupied the best land.That is to say, relying on the support of such a large-scale Huangzhuang, the royal family is now strong and prosperous.

At the moment, it is raining in the suburbs.

A Huangzhuang stands in the rain, as if something is brewing.

It was a huge royal manor.Among them are countless rare spiritual planting trees, some of which are of special ornamental value, while others are of great practical value.

In addition, there are many top-grade spiritual fields and spiritual springs in Huangzhuang, which produce various grains and spiritual fish with good economic value.

This manor belongs to the lineage of Prince Dexin, and has been interrogated and punished for tax evasion, but even if it pays taxes according to regulations, it is actually a top-notch manor with a lot of profits.If you make a move, it must be the value of a magical treasure.

The rain keeps falling.

Prince Dexin was wearing a coir raincoat and was fishing in the Spirit Lake in the manor.

Compared with 30 years ago, he seems to be much older at this moment, his half-black hair has turned gray, and the wrinkles on his face are much deeper.

But his heart seemed to be even more silent.

After all, if there are fish that bite the hook but don't lift the rod, if they are not fishing for loneliness, they are fishing for the general trend of the world. In short, they are all very human.

Suddenly.

A confidant came in a hurry.

He reported with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, Miss Luo Yuqing sent back news that she had detected information. Dizi'an and Wang Shouzhe's southern border conquest plan has entered the final stage of preparation and will soon launch a campaign against southern border. Total War."

Before Lixiao was wanted, Luo Yuqing also became a wanted criminal.It was Prince Dexin who used all available means to secretly protect them, which allowed Luo Yuqing and others to escape being hunted and wanted.

Now that the wind has calmed down, "Dawn" has also begun to revive.

Compared to when "Po Dawn" was at its peak, the name "Po Dawn" is more appropriate now.

Break through the endless darkness and seek that ray of light.

Now, isn't that the case?

Hearing the subordinate's report, Prince Dexin's old body shook, and even the steady fishing rod trembled slightly.

His voice was trembling: "Is the news true?"

"The news is true. In addition to Luo Yuqing, we also used some contacts to find out the news from other sources. Mutual verification can ensure that the news is true." The confidant reported excitedly.

"Good good!"

Prince Dexin slipped away and caught a three-foot-long spirit fish.

His silent eyes also burst into a breathtaking light, and he said excitedly: "30 years! It's been 30 years! I thought that Di Zi'an and Wang Shouzhe had given up the southern border strategy plan. Unexpectedly, the timing will turn around , unexpectedly ushered in a turning point at this time."

"It's really 'keep the clouds open to see the moon'. Sure enough, as long as you can calm down and wait patiently, the fish will always be hooked."

"Wang Shouzhe, Emperor Zi'an! Your tricks of 'Crossing the Sea' and 'Drawing the Bottom' were really slick. But this wave, after all, was guarded by me, Dexin."

"Di Zi'an, you asked for all of this, don't blame me for being cruel!"

"Notify everyone, prepare to act as planned!"

"Hahaha~"

A series of triumphant laughter resounded throughout the Royal Manor.Even the spirit fish in the lake were so frightened that they ran away in a panic.

……

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

It is still Liuxian Valley, Liuxianju.

Compared with five years ago, the spirit energy in Liuxian Valley is more abundant and full of vitality.

As if influenced by Wang Shouzhe's attitude towards life, Emperor Longchang followed Wang Shouzhe's example and opened up a vegetable garden. In his spare time, he grew spiritual vegetables, tended to exotic flowers and herbs, and tutored Wang Lixian in his homework.

This appearance, on the contrary, looks like an old man who has retired at home, doing nothing, relaxing and comfortable.

After five years, not only did Emperor Longchang not grow old, but his face was rosy, as if even the wrinkles on his face had smoothed out a lot.

Obviously, his retirement life in Wang's family seemed to nourish his body and soul, and he became much younger.

This is naturally due to the methods of Wang Lixian and Wang Shouzhe.As the tree of life, Wang Lixian's life-extending effect is indeed astonishing. After these five years of slow nourishment, Emperor Longchang's physical condition has improved a lot. Although it is not easy to calculate how much life is extended, it is a conservative estimate. Three 400 years should not be a big problem.

Emperor Longchang is also very satisfied with his current retirement life, but there are only two things that have always been a thorn in his heart.

The first incident was naturally the little mess between Wu Xuening and Wang Anye, the treasure of the imperial family.

Wu Xuening seemed to be working hard, and she was so determined not to marry Wang Anye, which caused him a lot of headaches.

When this matter came out, it naturally caused a dispute within the royal family.

Even Emperor Zi'an was very angry about this, and he didn't talk to Wang Shouzhe for three months, and even wrote several times to reprimand Wang Zong'an, and even Wang Shizhao, who stayed by Di Zi'an's side to assist, was implicated , Di Zian wore small shoes several times.

However, Rongjun Wangfu, as if beaten with blood, especially supported this matter.He even secretly preached that Princess Xue Ning and Wang Anye were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts when they were young.

His idea was also very clear.

They knew that the rise of the Wang family would be unstoppable in the future, and Prince Dexin's lineage had already offended the Wang family and Dizi An to death.When the emperor's son An came to power in the future, King Rong, as the king of Prince Dexin's lineage, would have an embarrassing position, and would inevitably be squeezed out and suppressed by other lines within the royal family.

If there is an opportunity for Princess Xue Ning and Princess Yiluo to come to "E Huang Nv Ying to serve her husband", it will naturally ease the relationship with the Wang family and greatly improve the future living space.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on Wu Xuening's own will.She wanted to marry Wang Anye with all her heart, and the Rongjun Palace pushed the boat forward and added fuel to the flames.

Following the announcement of Rongjun Palace, Di Zi'an also sensed some kind of "crisis". Even if he ended the cold war with Wang Shouzhe, he took action quickly.

Half a month later, Princess Yiluo appeared in the Wang Clan, and began to study in Wang Clan Studies.

In the same month, Princess Xue Ning also entered the Wang Clan Studies, also borrowing for further study.

From then on, the two little princesses lived a "happy" life living in the Wang family.

This incident naturally gave Emperor Longchang a headache.

Although he also likes Wang Anye quite a lot, if two of the most outstanding young princesses of the same generation in the royal family married the same person, or married to Wang Shouzhe's great-grandson, wouldn't it be cheaper for Wang Shouzhe?

He was really unwilling, and every time he thought about it, he felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick in his heart.

Another thorn in my heart is naturally the matter of the Southern Border Raiders.

Emperor Longchang never expected that Wang Shouzhe's so-called "acting is about to happen" has dragged on for five full years without any progress.Even Emperor Zi An didn't even issue an order to prepare the army for war...

This is also called "soon"?
On this day, Emperor Longchang finally couldn't hold back any longer, caught Wang Shouzhe, and then gave him a hard lesson with black and white pieces, before asking: "Wang Shouzhe, when are you and Di Zi'an going to start the southern border crusade?" plan?"

"Return to Your Majesty." Wang Shouzhe replied respectfully, "I discussed this matter with Di Zi'an earlier. It's almost~ soon~ It's just a little bit of preparation. Your Majesty just needs to wait patiently for a while, and you will be able to harvest The fruits of victory."

"Hmph~~ If it wasn't for the sake of you helping me extend my life several times... that's all, you and Di Zi'an hurry up." Emperor Longchang waved Wang Shouzhe back impatiently.

One month passed.

Return to Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Longcheng.

Prince Dexin was sitting on the shore of Lingshui Lake fishing, his old face turned a little bit vicissitudes again.

More than five years ago, he heard that Di Zi'an was going to start the southern border strategy plan, and then he made all the preparations, waiting to give Di Zi'an a head-on blow at the critical moment.

result……

This wait is more than five years.

Prince Dexin's mental journey has also changed from being excited at the beginning, to being nervous, and then gradually becoming impatient, until now, he has been completely disappointed.

Now Wu Chengsi's situation in the cannon fodder battalion is very bad. He almost died at the hands of demons twice, and now he was injured even more.If you don't act anymore, don't be a bad one. If Wu Chengsi died in the cannon fodder camp, then everything will be in vain.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Prince."

At this time, Dexin's confidants rushed in with joy again.

"Action, action! We have received news that this time Di Zi'an is finally going to start attacking Southern Border, and the frontier army has already started to change defenses!"

"it is good!"

Prince Dexin stood up abruptly, his slump and oldness seemed to be swept away in an instant, and he said vigorously: "As the saying goes, 'hard work pays off', I finally made me wait until this day! Chengsi, Chengsi, you must Hold on."

"Order to go on and make preparations according to the plan. Di Zi'an, Di Zi'an, you must be dead this time!"

"Hahaha~" A series of laughter resounded in Huangzhuang again.

……

Time flies by.

In a blink of an eye, Emperor Longchang had "lived" in the Wang family for ten years, and the time has come to the 3000 and 58 years of Longchang, the Great Qianlong.

The emperor seems to have completely integrated into Wang's life. In addition to growing vegetables and flowers, he also raised a flock of chickens and geese.

Wang's children also like to come to Liuxian Valley, because there is a very amiable grandfather who always likes to give gifts to children.

this day.

Emperor Longchang was talking to a group of children about the story of a talented young warrior who was invincible in the Immortal Dynasty and gained many confidante friends. He also named the story "Wu Guanze Pierced the Immortal Dynasty" The Invincible Youth Chapter".

There is no doubt that Wu Guanze is the name of Emperor Longchang!
It's really a vulgar title, and it's a story that's sure to hit the street at the beginning.

When Wang Shouzhe came to the door, he was very speechless when he heard the story told by the emperor. The family ordered him repeatedly not to read the YY Xuanwu manuscript, but the emperor took the lead in violating it.

History book?
Wang Shouzhe kept thinking in secret, the emperor's bragging is so true and amazing, under the premise that almost all his peers are dead, can't he just brag as he wants?
"Your Majesty, I'm here to tell you." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands, "The 'Southern Border Expedition Plan' that you've been thinking about will start soon."

"Right away? Shouzhe, right now, is it 100 years or 300 years?" Emperor Longchang didn't even raise his eyelids, and continued to tell Wang's children the YY story of his sweeping the fairy court when he was young, taking time to get impatient He replied calmly, "Go, go, don't disturb me to tell the children about history, you see how much these children love to listen."

The corner of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched, he couldn't control the emperor, could he still control a group of brats?Immediately, he coughed twice and said, "I heard that in the ethnology, there will be a sudden exam tomorrow."

"What? Mister didn't say anything?"

"How could this be, natural disaster."

"Ancestor, are you kidding? It's not due yet..."

Wang Shouzhe looked serious: "I'm not kidding, I personally ordered the additional test. If anyone fails the test, he will come to live with me for a while, and I will teach him personally."

After no interest.

A dozen boys and girls disappeared in a flash.

"Wang Shouzhe, you're so boring." Emperor Longchang said with displeasure on his face, "This is really interesting."

"Your Majesty, the plan to conquer southern Xinjiang is of great importance. Although Emperor Zi'an is in charge of the country, he has not yet ascended the throne and has no right to decide on the start of the plan. Please His Majesty personally issue an order..." Wang Shouzhe said, taking out a formal memorial.

"You guys, are you serious this time?" Emperor Longchang's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true."

"How long does it take to activate?"

"Six months at the latest."

"Okay! I will make an order now, and I will make an order now."

……

And so, another month passed.

Return to Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Longcheng.

Prince Dexin was still fishing alone.

As if history was repeating itself, his confidants rushed over again in surprise: "His Royal Highness, I am overjoyed, overjoyed. Di Zi'an has launched a plan to conquer the southern border."

This time.

Prince Dexin didn't move at all, as if he was already desperate and numb to this matter.

People are like this, once the heart is hurt more, it will no longer trust.

"Your Highness, this time it's true." The confidant said anxiously and vowedly, "This time, the subordinate has thoroughly investigated."

Prince Dexin didn't move. You said the same thing ten years ago and five years ago... What happened?It's just being played again and again!
Sigh~~ My poor Chengsi boy, it is said that this time he was seriously injured in the cannon fodder camp... I don't know how long he can last.

"Your Highness, this time His Majesty has personally drawn up the decree and has already mobilized the army. Three months later, the whole army will attack!" The confidants used their trump cards.

Prince Dexin was shocked, and finally moved. Two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks: "I, Dexin, finally waited until this day again. Let everyone know, and then we can prepare the plan."

"Di Zi'an, don't blame me, Dexin, for not thinking of the love of the same bloodline. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. Why do you insist on grabbing the throne from our Dexin lineage?"

"Di Zi'an, once again, you are sure that you must die!"
