protect our patriarch

Chapter 697 "Shou Guo Gong" Wang Shouzhe
……

Eunuch Xiang said with a happy face: "Not only that, in order to commend you for your extraordinary contribution to Daqian, His Highness specially conferred the title of Lord Shouzhe as [Duke Shouguo]. You see, I even gave you the seal of Duke Shouguo." You brought it."

Shou Guogong!
Wang Shouzhe looked shocked.

He never expected that the emperor, Anfei, not only forcibly promoted the Wang family to the third rank, but also arranged for him the title of "Shouguogong".

This is because he is afraid that he is not high-profile enough~
"Duke." Eunuch Xiang looked at Wang Shouzhe with a smile on his face, "The title of duke of your country is hereditary and irreplaceable, and it is also the third duke of our country. Your Highness asked me to ask you, are you surprised? Surprised or not?"

There are surprises, but there are no surprises.

Wang Shouzhe was speechless.

Is Di Zi'an afraid that he will run away, or is he too full to do nothing?The title of duke of the country, it seems that he is so rare.

But no matter what, the Wang family is a minister of great cadres, and the imperial edict has already been issued, so he has no reason not to accept it.

Wang Shouzhe had no choice but to accept the order, and cupped his hands in thanks: "Shouzhe thank you, Your Highness."

"During this period of time, the old slave will stay in the Wang family and supervise the craftsmen to build the Shouguogong Monument. By the way, the plaque in your house has to be changed to [Shouguogong Mansion]. From now on, your treatment and The support will be paid out of the national treasury~”

I thank you for supporting me from the national treasury~
Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes secretly.

With the speed at which Emperor Zi'an spends money, if the state treasury doesn't ask him to borrow money from the Wang family, he will be thankful.

"Also, Your Highness said that he is too busy these days, so he won't come here in person this time." Eunuch Xiang added at the end.

Hearing this, Shou Yong and Shou Lian behind Wang Shouzhe couldn't help secretly laughing.

Your Highness is not busy here, is he afraid that he will be beaten when he comes over?
Knowing that the fourth brother likes to keep a low profile and hide his clumsiness, but he wants to make a big show for him and make it known to everyone. Isn't this intentional to put eye drops on the fourth brother?

However, Shou Yong Shou Lian is still very happy that the fourth brother can be granted the title of "Shou Guo Gong".

After all, this represents that the overall strength of the Wang family has reached a new level.The Wang family's ancestors have been great leaders for generations, but they never thought of quitting or betraying. Now that the descendants are honored, this can be regarded as an explanation for the ancestors.

From now on, when the fourth elder brother is promoted to the Lingxu Realm, he will most likely be named a king with a different surname.

However, following Di Zi'an made such a fuss.

Wang Shouzhe's supernatural power banquet and state banquet this time could not be sloppy.In desperation, he had no choice but to start preparing a banquet in a serious manner, preparing to invite his in-laws and friends from all over the world on a certain day.

……

And at about the same time, on the side of the main base in the extraterritorial main defense area, as the "Wang Hai" officially stopped in the port, the passengers who came with the boat also got off the ferry one after another.

But what they saw in front of them made many monks who came for the first time show expressions of surprise and shock.

The new Ximen family was also stunned by the scene in front of them.

Before they came, they had imagined countless possible appearances of the Demon Realm, recalled many ancient rumors, and considered many possible difficulties they might encounter, but none of them thought that the main defense base of the Demon Territory outside the Territory would actually look like this of.

The dome here is clear and translucent, the evil energy in the sky has been cleaned and isolated, and the red sun is reflected, there is almost no strange light, and it looks clean.

Reinforced concrete is everywhere here, there are many buildings, the road is neat and clean, and there are a lot of green plants unique to Dagan on both sides.

Compared with the original base, this place seems to have changed the world, and the area has expanded by more than several times.

Today, the total population and rotating garrison of the general base of this defense area has reached as many as one million. Even within the base, public transportation is required to go from one location to another.

Led by the enthusiastic and kind old Liu family, Ximen's family took several buses and successfully arrived at the office of the Daqian Development Department in the Outer Territory Demon Realm Branch.

It was an office building with dozens of floors.

In other places, such high-rise buildings are absolutely outstanding, and the local landmark buildings are completely qualified, but in this base, there are so many high-rise buildings with this number of floors that this office building Among a group of high-rise buildings, it looks quite inconspicuous.

With the help of the staff, the Ximen family quickly checked the visas, applied for the development order, and immediately picked up their development land in a closed extraction box.

It was only after they finished extracting the pioneering land that they noticed that there were a lot of maps of the land waiting to be developed, and each map had hundreds of pioneering lands marked on it. What they extracted was just a trivial one of them.

One can imagine how vast the land waiting to be developed is.

Opening contracts are readily available.Under the guidance of the staff, Ximen Cedar quickly signed a series of contracts and received a development order, a land reclamation certificate with the land code and the official seal of Dagan, and a copy of the land reclamation certificate. A more detailed map.

This is a small piece of pioneering land, but it has a full 50 mu of wasteland.

This simply blinded the eyes of Ximen's group.

50 mu of wasteland, which is five times more than Ximen's existing fields!
It was like a big piece of scone falling from the sky, which made everyone in Ximen's dizzy and excited.

However, with the land in hand, the problem came again.

How could they have the ability to open up 50 mu of barren land with less than [-] tribesmen now?Could it be that, just coming to the Demon Realm, is it necessary to go back and gather more clansmen and tenant farmers?
But even though the demon world outside the territory has been transformed, there is still a thin demonic energy in the air, which is not something ordinary tenant farmers can come to.

"Aren't you the new Ximen family who came to open up the extraterrestrial demon world?"

As if anticipating their embarrassment, before they started to worry, a young guy came forward and introduced himself: "I am Xiao Li, a salesman from Wang's Large-scale Agricultural Puppet Equipment Rental Department. You assign The wasteland to be reclaimed is not small, right? Such a small amount of manpower is not enough. But you don’t have to worry, our company has several large-scale agricultural machinery puppets, which can solve the problem of insufficient manpower for you..."

"Let me introduce our company to you..."

Under Xiao Li's series of pictures and explanations, Ximen seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Never expected that opening up wasteland in the Demon World would be so convenient.

But where does the money come from?

Ximen Xuesong was a little guilty and worried: "Little brother, the puppet equipment you introduced are very expensive, we can't even afford to rent them, let alone buy them."

"It's okay, it's okay~ For a new pioneer family like you, lack of money is not a big problem." The young man didn't care at all, but instead enthusiastically pulled them to another direction, "Go, go, I will take you to [Wang's Bank] for a loan. If you can apply for a development order, it must be because the family character has met the standards in all aspects. It is very easy to apply for a start-up capital loan, and the interest is very low."

Is there a bank to borrow?

Ximen Xuesong breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the loan always has to be repaid, if you can borrow a sum of money, at least the capital investment in the initial stage of land reclamation will be there, and the subsequent development will be smoother.

The young man was very enthusiastic, and while helping Simon's with the loan business, he introduced the situation to them: "You new families can apply for a lot of subsidies and tax exemption policies, and when your population grows, you can apply for a new development order. "

Soon, Ximen's completed the loan process, successfully rented a large-scale agricultural puppet machinery, and took a rail car leading to the pioneering land.

This railcar seems to be leading to the future, carrying the extremely hot hopes of everyone in the Ximen family.

The future of the family, the hope of rising, all kinds of things are in it.

They want to establish a foothold in the pioneering land as soon as possible, bring other clansmen over as soon as possible, help the family rise as soon as possible, and welcome a new future.

In the entire Dagan defense area, there are many families like Ximen's.

Under the promotion of Wang's spare no efforts, this wave of land reclamation outside the territory is sweeping the entire Daqian at an extremely fast speed.Ximen's is just one of the countless waves of this wave of land reclamation.

And as this wave intensifies, the entire Dagan defense area is rapidly developing and growing at a jaw-dropping speed.

……

Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty.

Magic City.

Crown Prince East Palace.

The East Palace has always been the residence of the crown prince, and it has always been called the "East Palace" because it is located on the east side of the entire Demon Palace.

As a part of the Demon Palace, the East Palace has a history almost as long as the entire Demon Palace, and many palaces in the palace have existed for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years. From a distance, the vicissitudes of life are quaint, majestic and majestic. Time can almost make people mistakenly think that they have traveled through the long river of time and came to thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years ago.

And such a palace, according to today's living habits, must have a lot of unreasonable design.

Fortunately, this is not the Demon Emperor's Palace after all, and there are not so many rules and regulations in the transformation.After the princes of the past dynasties moved in, they would renovate the palace to a certain extent according to their own preferences and habits.When the Demon Emperor was still the crown prince, the East Palace was remodeled. After the current crown prince moved in, the palace was also remodeled.

Therefore, although the architectural style of the East Palace is very simple and majestic, the interior decoration is quite fashionable, and there are many new things that have gradually become popular in the fairy and devil dynasties recently.

Compared with the Demon Palace, the furnishings here are obviously younger and more suitable for young people.

Sharpen the heart.

This is where Shentu Jingming, the crown prince of the current dynasty, works and assists in his daily work.

Unlike when he was a free and easy prince, he could travel around the mountains and rivers and live in style. As the successor of the dynasty, the crown prince already needs to gradually go deep into government affairs and start to assist the devil emperor in handling various state affairs.

As for the demon emperor's true self, he has been sitting in the base of the demon world in recent years, and the one in the demon palace is just a projection.Therefore, Crown Prince Shentu Jingming has to assume more responsibilities.

Fortunately, the crown prince is not alone. He will naturally have his own team under his command, and there are many outstanding talents among them.These are all the young heroes of the Demon Dynasty families who supported the crown prince, as well as various top talents.

Compared with decades ago, today's Shentu Jingming is dressed in an extravagant crown prince's crown, with a little beard on his chin, and his eyes are dignified and deep, less aggressive, more dignified and calm. aura.

With the assistance of the government affairs team, he skillfully handled a pile of complicated and trivial chores, and the whole process was like flowing water, with almost no stagnation.

Obviously, his 30 years of career as the crown prince have made him very familiar with these tasks, and he is naturally familiar with handling them.

After a few hours.

Shentu Jingming, who had finally dealt with a lot of messy things, simply dismissed everyone except Zhuo Lao.

As soon as the person left, the calm and capable energy in his body "swished" out, and he almost couldn't wait to put his feet on the table, and his whole body collapsed back, and he lay lazily on the chair.

The crown prince, who was still brilliant and mighty just now, now looks like he was exhausted and paralyzed.

"It's so annoying, it's so annoying." Shentu Jingming whined and complained, "This is a bunch of f*cking things, and the shitty things will bother me."

No wonder the old guy at home wanted to go to the Demon Realm outside the Territory to sit in town. If it was him, and he lived like this for thousands of years, he would definitely want to quit.

"His Royal Highness, please drink some soup to nourish your spirit first." Zhuo Lao felt a little distressed seeing him like this, and hurriedly brought a bowl of carefully brewed soup.

Shentu Jingming took a few sips after taking it, and then wiped his mouth and said, "Is Ruobing still in retreat? I heard that she returned the cultivation resources I sent someone last time? "

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Elder Zhuo comforted in a low voice, "I think you have to figure it out slowly. If you receive a gift occasionally, it's okay to return a thank you gift. You send a large amount of cultivation resources. How could Miss Ruo Bing take her heart at will? If she really took it, who would she be?"

"Oh, women's minds are really complicated and difficult to guess." Shentu Jingming rubbed his temples helplessly, "By the way, I remember that damn girl Zhaoyu wrote back again?"

"Uh... this is already the number 30 letter." Elder Zhuo covered his mouth and snickered, "Every letter is complaining about how terrible Wang Clan Studies is, and I want His Highness to come forward and bring her back."

"She was the one who went to play with Wang Fugui, and she is the one who is crying and begging to come back now. How can there be such an easy thing in this world?" Shentu Jingming couldn't help it when he thought of Princess Zhaoyu's suffering in the Wang clan. An Shuang said, "Besides, I can't decide this matter. The old guy made it clear that he wanted her to stay in the Wang clan and study hard. If he doesn't nod, who dares to take her back?"

"This..." Elder Zhuo reluctantly took out another letter, "Wang Fugui also wrote you a letter."

"Fugui write me a letter?" Shentu Jingming was taken aback.

That kid Wang Fugui clearly disliked him, so why would he take the initiative to write a letter to him?Could it be that kid Fugui finally couldn't bear to attack Zhaoyu?
However, after he took it apart, he realized that he had thought too much.

It turned out that Wang Fugui sincerely invited him to visit Xianchao with Wang Ruobing, and to visit the Wang family to appease Princess Zhaoyu who had suffered countless traumas in her heart.

Moreover, Wang Fugui said that he had already communicated with His Majesty the Demon Emperor in writing about this matter.

"Visiting the Immortal Dynasty?" Shentu Jingming pondered for a moment, and couldn't help feeling a little moved, "Although the relationship between the two dynasties has broken ice and gradually warmed up...but there is no precedent for the crown prince to visit the Immortal Dynasty. Take advantage of this opportunity to walk with Ruobing and get in touch more... Maybe it can improve the cold relationship~"

"Well, I'll discuss it with the old guy first~"

At that moment, Shentu Jingming had a decision.

Afterwards, he went to the Demon Palace to find the Demon Emperor's projection, and discussed matters related to his envoy to the Immortal Dynasty.After all, this is the first formal diplomatic interaction between the two dynasties after the last battle between immortals and demons.

……

after a while.

I don't know who started it, but suddenly there was a rumor in the Demon City, that the crown prince Shentu Jingming was about to accept the invitation of the Immortal Dynasty, and go to the Immortal Dynasty as a guest to discuss a series of future plans to fight against the Demon Realm, and go with him Among them are the younger generations of the powerful families of the Demon Dynasty.

At the same time, there is another rumor among the dignitaries of the aristocratic family slowly spreading in private, saying that the crown prince also has a special mission on this trip, which is to appease the family who is studying in a small country in the Xian Dynasty. Princess Zhao Yu.

According to the logic, even if Princess Zhaoyu wants to study abroad, she should study in the royal family of the Xian Dynasty, and no matter how bad she is, she has to study in the Xian Palace of the Xian Dynasty. What does it mean to study abroad in a small country and aristocratic family?
That is of course a sacrifice.

But why sacrifice Princess Zhaoyu?

Among the many powerful families, there are many people who are good at analyzing the situation, and soon someone "guessed" the most likely reason.

When the immortal and demon dynasties met to fight against the demon world, the situation was originally good, but the demon master and the little demon master stabbed their knives in the back.

Although judging from the results, the Xian Dynasty did not suffer too serious a loss, but this incident undoubtedly planted the bane of distrusting the Demon Dynasty in the Xian Dynasty's heart, and His Majesty the Demon Emperor had no choice but to send Little Princess Zhaoyu away for the righteousness of the human race. Sacrificing as a proton, even has the meaning of making peace.

The poor little Princess Zhaoyu has written 31 letters home in just a few decades, with tears in every sentence and every word, claiming that she has had a very hard life and wants to go home.According to the Demon Emperor's love for the little princess in the past, he would probably have brought her back in the first letter, but His Majesty the Demon Emperor, for the sake of the future cooperation between the immortal and demon dynasties, was uncharacteristically and never allowed her to come back.

This time, the Crown Prince is traveling to the Immortal Dynasty, so he should visit and appease the little Princess Zhaoyu.

As soon as this kind of rumor came out, Mozun, whose reputation had finally recovered a bit in the past few decades, dropped another notch.Many people secretly complained about him.

If he hadn't been plotting behind the scenes back then, why would the Mochao have asked the young Princess Zhaoyu to make such a huge sacrifice?

In fact, it even implicated Chao Qianzheng, whose reputation is increasing day by day, and made him suffer a lot of scolding along the way.

And as the rumors gradually spread, the Mozun who was fishing in Molinyuan naturally heard all kinds of information and rumors.

When Elder Yun was reporting from the sidelines, recalling the criticisms Mozun had received these days, he still couldn't help being angry: "It's really disgusting, now all the dirty water and stinky water are being held on our heads. Girl Zhaoyu is stuck in Xianchao Mrs. Wang, what does it have to do with us? I will mobilize our strength and clarify this rumor."

"It doesn't matter." The Demon Venerable didn't care about it, and he still looked as deep as an abyss, "This is just the old devil in Chi Hell, deliberately leading public opinion to put eye drops on this deity. This kind of trick is just a crooked way. That’s all, it can’t shake the overall situation.”

"But Master Mozun, is it possible to let them continue to slander like this?" Elder Yun frowned, still very unwilling, "Now this wave of rumors is intensifying, and it has already affected Young Master Qian Ling!"

Elder Yun looked down on Chao Qianzheng before, but as Chao Qianzheng gradually showed his ability and courage, she also looked at him with admiration and regarded him as Chao's future.

"You said just now that Wang Ruobing is also going to be an envoy to Xianchao? Will you go with Shentu Jingming to visit girl Zhaoyu?" Mozun asked with slightly opened eyes.

"This is indeed the case according to the information we have obtained." Elder Yun replied, "Shentu Jingming, Wang Ruobing, Wang Fugui and Wang Yingxuan of the Changning Wang Clan previously established a comrade-in-arms friendship, and it is said that they once had the experience of helping each other , so the relationship with each other is not bad. Presumably, the two sides also want to take this opportunity to establish more contacts."

"Okay, very good." A stern light flashed across Mozun's deep eyes, and his tone became cold all of a sudden, "As the saying goes, keep the clouds open to see the moon. As long as this deity can refine and devour Wang Ruobing's blood, he will definitely be promoted to the middle stage of the true demon, and then, I want to see what the old demon Chi Hell will use to fight this deity."

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Wang is cunning, you have to be careful that it is a trap." Elder Yun hurriedly reminded.

"This is natural." Demon Venerable said calmly but confidently, "However, I have already made a comprehensive plan, and I will definitely not let down such a god-given opportunity, Qing Yun, pass on a message for this honor."

"Yes, Your Honor."

……

As the Mozun started to act, a big conspiracy "targeting" the Wang family slowly spread like a huge net, covering the Wang family.

The first thing to undergo drastic changes was the defense zone outside the Dagan Territory.

Over the years, the progress of land reclamation here has been rapid, bringing a lot of benefits to the Wang family, Dagan, and many families in Dagan.And these changes are naturally seen in the eyes of other defense zones outside the region, especially the joint defense zone of Western Jin, Southern Qin, and Yin Shazong not far away.

now.

It has been knocked down and rebuilt once, using Wang's high-grade cement, and even the appearance of the main base has become extremely modern.

Wang Liyao, the current commander-in-chief of the Donggan Defense Zone, is presiding over the meeting in a conference room.

Because she was outside the territory, she was wearing a military uniform. The light blue armor glowed coldly under the light, and she seemed a little more indifferent and majestic for no reason.

Sitting outside the territory for many years, although Wang Liyao's appearance has not changed at this time, her temperament has become more mature and stable. Her profound energy is as dignified as an abyss, and even if she sits still, she can give people a strong oppressive force. The appearance of the superior.

And her cultivation base has already stepped into the late stage of Zifu Realm, and is climbing to the peak little by little.It only takes some time to polish, and her breaking through the supernatural powers is as easy as eating and drinking.

"The giant scythe and Yaomu two demon castles in our Dagan defense area, and the three demon king castles in the Western Jin and South Qin defense areas have dispatched soldiers to jointly attack us." Wang Liyao's voice was calm and introverted. There was a little bit of fear, as if it had been expected long ago, "The Jin and Qin defense areas are retreating, with an attitude of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight."

"It's finally started." Emperor Longchang, who sits in the main base, also looked calm and dignified, "We have made preparations for so many years, isn't it just for today? Yaoyao, this time I will lead the army to fight and wipe out the top five. Demon Castle."

Next to him, the charming Yufuxian looked at Emperor Longchang with shining eyes, and said with admiration: "Brother Chang is still as domineering and majestic as before. I am willing to go out with you."

"You don't want to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. Sister Yu, you stay at the base." Emperor Longchang said domineeringly, "My half-immortal sword [The Great Sword of Qiankun] has long been hungry and thirsty. I must call it this time. They tasted my might."

"I hate it~" Yu Fuxian's pretty face was flushed, and she stomped his foot to quench his thirst.

"Sister Yu, I was wrong."

"Brother Chang, I forgive you."

A series of conversations made the goosebumps of the other participants burst, and they wished they could drag their chairs and move away from them.

When you talk about love at dusk, just talk about love at dusk, don't spread dog blood at the venue~~ What did they do wrong, want to eat this old dog food here?
It is said that after Emperor Longchang was injured, he was forcibly recalled by Wang Shouzhe to heal his injuries. Yu Fuxian was very worried after hearing about it, so naturally he took the initiative to take care of him.As a result, it didn't take long before the two hit it off.

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, but as long as these two people get together, it's always an outdated sweet pet cheat sheet dialogue, which really makes people feel sick.

And the instigator of all this is Wang Ningxi.

What the hell did he do?

Wang Liyao's eyelids twitched when she heard it, and she hurriedly tried to stop her with her expression on her face: "Your Majesty, what my father means this time is that the beating must be done slowly and with a sense of difficulty. Therefore, you still have to hold back."

"Tch, that kid Wang Shouzhe is full of scheming and bad things all day long, and I just don't listen to him, so what can he do to me?" Emperor Longchang snorted coldly, with a proud face.

"My father said that if His Majesty refuses to obey the military orders, he will confiscate the semi-immortal artifact [Sword of Qiankun] lent to you."

"..." Emperor Longchang's expression changed in an instant, and then he calmly changed his words as if nothing had happened, "Forget it, boy Shouzhe has a lot of bad habits, but he still has some skills after all. I will listen to his advice this time." .”

"..."

Everyone else present was speechless.
