protect our patriarch

Chapter 771

……

After a moment.

Inside Wang Shouzhe's study.

Wang Shouzhe looked at Chongzhong's grandson in front of him with a complicated expression.

Under the light, Wang Baoguang was kneeling on the ground, holding his butt pitifully and moaning, his handsome face was also wrinkled like a bitter melon, it was indescribably pitiful.

There is no doubt that this dog has already been beaten up, and it was the old man Wang Shouzhe who beat him himself.

It stands to reason that the children in the family are beaten by the previous generation.If the previous generation is not around, then the previous generation can also fight.Now that Wang Baoguang's seniors are not around, he, as an ancestor, can only reluctantly do it for him.

"Hiss~ grandpa grandpa." Wang Baoguang clutched his throbbing buttocks, with a pitiful expression, "You beat me up, can't you listen to my explanation?"

"Is there anything to explain?" Wang Shouzhe's eyelids twitched, "I'm beginning to understand why your great-grandpa wants to fire you. Hmph, quickly withdraw that magazine for me, and publish a few more articles to clarify it. Bai has tarnished the reputation of other girls. After finishing it, I will go to Princess Qingyang to make amends!"

"Ah?! Grandpa, I didn't spread the word about it. I just made some artistic processing on the basis of the original rumors." Wang Baoguang's expression was bitter, and he seemed to be aggrieved and aggrieved , "Even if I didn't push it, there are already rumors in this city."

"That doesn't work either." Wang Shouzhe said angrily, "Don't care what other people do, you withdraw your magazine for me."

"Grandfather, grandpa, you can't withdraw." Wang Baoguang was so anxious that he was sweating.

"..."

Wang Shouzhe watched him silent for a few breaths, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hehe, do you think my old ancestor's words are no longer useful?"

"No, no, grandpa, you are the god in my heart and the light in my heart." Wang Baoguang shook his head frantically in fright, flattered him a few times, and then immediately put on a sacred and solemn expression, explaining , "Actually, I am playing a big game of chess in this matter."

"Playing a big game of chess?" Wang Shouzhe sneered, "How big is it?"

"It's very, very big." Wang Baoguang looked solemn, as if he was afraid that Wang Shouzhe would not believe it, and then added, "It's very big, very big, very big!"

"It's just you?" Wang Shouzhe snorted, "If your great-grandfather Wang Anrui said this, I would still believe it. Well, I'll give you a chance to explain. If you can't explain it well, go back to Wang's right away and find a mine to work for 100 years." Grind your temper and come out again."

Wang Shouzhe was not joking with him.

He has always been very strict with the children of his family.If Wang Baoguang really dared to act recklessly, Wang Shouzhe would definitely send him to the mine, and no one would plead for mercy.

Shocked by fright, Wang Baoguang quickly got up and went to the desk, took out an envelope containing a large stack of photos from the storage ring, and handed it to Wang Shouzhe.

He explained seriously: "Grandfather, grandpa, didn't you arrange a task for me a while ago? I asked Lao Cai to help me, and indeed I found a lot of specious gossip."

"Look at this picture..." Wang Baoguang said, "This beautiful woman is named [Okra], and it is said that she is the personal maid of the 'Sacred Concubine Xiangyao'. Look at this man who has a secret meeting with her... Does it look familiar? Hehe, he is Pei Changan, the closest confidant under Prince Wenyu's command."

"And then?" Wang Shouzhe said coldly.

"It is rumored that the concubine Xiangyao is from West Ruo Shenzhou. She looks quite exotic and has a dark fragrance. She is very favored by the emperor of Tianrui." Wang Baoguang said, "but the problem is that the saint Xiangyao The concubine has a cold personality, and has always had a bad relationship with several princes. Especially with Prince Wen Yu, the relationship is even worse, and everyone knows it."

"I guess, could this be an illusion? The Holy Concubine Xiangyao and Prince Wen Yu actually have a very good relationship...Maybe, the two of them have been secretly having an affair for a long time... The relationship is not good, but it's just a cover-up." .”

"..."

Wang Shouzhe took a deep breath, but still couldn't hold back the swell of veins, and slapped him hard on the forehead: "You bastard, it's really an opening picture, and the plot is all made up. Prince Wenyu secretly bought it." The maid next to the Holy Concubine Xiangyao? To protect the Holy Concubine Xiangyao!"

"Of course, what you said, grandpa, makes sense, but it's just a possibility." Wang Baoguang's face exuded a sacred light, "No matter what the truth is, I will definitely dig it out. Also, grandpa, you Do you trust your instincts? My years of professionalism and instincts tell me that there is definitely something wrong with these two."

"Even if there is a problem, it has something to do with you throwing dirty water on me and Qingyang?" Wang Shouzhe said angrily.

"It's related, of course it's related." Wang Baoguang looked serious, "Where did the rumors about you and Princess Qingyang come from in the first place? I haven't found out yet, but it probably has nothing to do with Prince Wen Yu~ If I add fuel to the flames and make things worse, many of the spearheads will be pointed at the seemingly vested interests—Prince Wen Yu."

"In order to clarify his innocence, Prince Wen Yu will definitely try to find out the source of the rumors. At this time, I can secretly contribute to the flames and point the finger at the eldest prince [Prince Chenchen] and the third prince [Prince Hongzhou] from time to time. It doesn't matter who it is What the hell, we should secretly induce, secretly induce, and pour dirty water, in short, muddy the water in the entire holy city. In the end, we should let this matter go to nothing, and there is no clear result."

"In this way, the three princes must be suspicious of each other. At this time, I will use the authority of the [Magazine] to gradually reveal the various privacy between the three princes... Let them restrain each other and bite each other .”

"With the abilities of the eldest prince and the third prince, they probably won't be able to handle Prince Wen Yu, and they might be notorious at that time. However, with me, Wang Baoguang, the ending will be different. The Holy Concubine Xiangyao is The fatal wound of Prince Wen Yu's final blow!"

Wang Baoguang said very excitedly: "The final result is that the three princes 'destroyed together' and their reputations were completely ruined. At this time, let's come out to refute the rumors and declare that the affair between Princess Qingyang and you is the purpose of the three princes to suppress Qingyang. The rumors that come out will justify the names of you and the princess."

"However, before that, I personally suggest that the grandfather and grandfather you go along with the flow and take Princess Qingyang secretly! At that time, the helm of the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty will listen to you. From now on, our Wang family will be in the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty. Don’t you want the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain?”

Wang Shouzhe's eyelids twitched wildly, and the more he listened to the expression, the more he couldn't explain it: "You bastard, you really played a big game of chess~ Are you going to trap your grandpa to death?"

"Grandpa, you are sacrificing for the Wang family." Wang Baoguang laughed a few times, "I believe grandma will understand you."

"I won't accept it." Wang Shouzhe sneered, squinting at him and said, "I want to accept you, but you are not married anyway, so you can simply marry into the East Sea Immortal King's Mansion."

What? ! !
Wang Baoguang's heart skipped a beat, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a "puff", crying pitifully: "Grandfather, please let me go! How can I grab a woman from my grandfather? Besides, Do you always think that with my abilities, Princess Qingyang can fall in love with me? She can only fall in love with me."

"Okay~ Don't fake cry with me here, you don't look like you're acting." Wang Shouzhe glanced at him speechlessly, and waved his hands to get him up.

Seeing that Wang Shouzhe's attitude eased, Wang Baoguang was relieved, and quickly got up, leaned over and squeezed Wang Shouzhe's shoulder flatteringly.

Wang Shouzhe didn't stop him either, and let him come over.

He picked up the tea and took a sip to calm down his emotions. While enjoying Wang Baoguang's service, Wang Shouzhe analyzed Wang Baoguang's plan: "The layout in front of you is quite thoughtful and has certain feasibility. However, your The plan is still rough, with many loopholes, so you have to think about it carefully, perfect it, make up for the loopholes, and prepare a few backup plans, so as not to know how to deal with unexpected situations. After you go back, organize your thoughts and write a detailed report. Give me your plan."

"As for the part of accepting Princess Qingyang, you gave me that nasty idea away as soon as possible. Our Wang family relies on our own ability to make a living, and we don't need to hook up with a woman to get to the top."

"Yes, yes, grandfather, you are right." Wang Baoguang hastily admitted his mistake, and said with an awkward smile, "However, we should join hands with Princess Qingyang, and we must let her remember our kindness."

"Besides that, you have to be careful to hide yourself." Wang Shouzhe seriously warned, "Since you want to stir up trouble, you have to stay in the dark. Once someone finds out, you will lose everything."

"Don't worry, grandpa." Wang Baoguang patted his chest and said, "I don't know how many times I have fought wits and courage with Baosheng in these years. I have absolutely rich experience in this field. Do you know why Baosheng had to give me a magazine batch number in the end? Jie Jie, that’s because if he doesn’t give it to me, my underground magazines can be completely spread out, and he still can’t grasp my handle and evidence.”

"Rather than appearing an underground magazine that is completely out of his control, it's better to give me a serious batch number. At least he can keep an eye on the content of my magazine and let me restrain myself. That boy Baosheng has a big picture."

Wang Shouzhe glared at him.

Not to mention, this dog thing is really something.To make Wang Baosheng have to compromise, this is not something ordinary people can do.

Although he has been in the sanctuary all these years, he has always been paying attention to Baosheng's actions, and he is naturally very clear about his abilities.

"Okay, get out of here." Wang Shouzhe waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes, yes, I'll get out."

Wang Baoguang rolled halfway, then rolled back, and looked at Wang Shouzhe eagerly: "Grandpa, you don't have to be busy clarifying recently, first be vague, and give me some time to make arrangements."

Wang Shouzhe's cheeks twitched: "Get lost, I understand."

"Thank you, grandpa, grandpa."

Wang Baoguang happily rolled out.

"..."

Looking at his joyful back, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help feeling a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.

Not afraid of children's bears, just afraid of children's bears and at the same time have ability, it is really not easy to discipline~
Forget it~ Forget it~ At any rate, he was doing business this time, although the process was a bit speechless, but at least the result was something he was happy to see.

Just let him go and try~
Sighing in his heart, Wang Shouzhe quickly collected his mood, temporarily put the matter of Wang Baoguang behind him, and ordered Jiang Jianmu to be called over, and told him to go outside to help him buy a different courtyard.

At first, Jiang Jianmu thought that he had offended Wang Shouzhe somewhere, which made him refuse to live in the Jiang family anymore, and he was so frightened that he was out of his wits.

Fortunately, Jiang Muxian came out in time to smooth things over and told him that the young master bought another courtyard just to house the fairy cave.

Only then did Jiang Jianmu tremblingly run to handle the matter.

As an old-fashioned fairy clan, the Jiang family still has a wide network of contacts. Within two days, Jiang Jianmu brought several materials and picture albums from other courtyards for Shouzhe to choose from.

From several other courtyards on sale, Wang Shouzhe chose a courtyard located in the eastern part of the holy city.

The price of this other courtyard is the most expensive among several other courtyards, with a price tag of 23 fairy stones.

However, following Jiang Jianmu's operation and bargaining, he finally bought it at the price of 21 fairy stones, and quickly completed the transfer procedures.

This other courtyard is to be used to house Guiyuan Xiaodongtian. Although he has read the picture book, he still needs to investigate on the spot where Xiaodongtian is placed. He also has to go through the specific situation of the other courtyard. .

Considering that Xiaodongtian would arrive in a few days, Wang Shouzhe didn't delay, and immediately had someone prepare the eleventh-level spirit bird flying chariot, and it only took more than two hours to arrive at the other courtyard.

This place is called Bieyuan, but Biezhuang is more appropriate to describe it.

Looking down from the sky, this courtyard is next to a mountain range, covering a very large area, about the size of an entire Changning Guard.

In the middle, there is a "small lake" with a diameter of about a hundred miles. There are several spiritual veins in the lake. In the center is a sixth-grade water-system spiritual vein. A small island is built on the water-system spiritual vein. Houses are built on the island. Water Pavilion.

There are various farms built on the land around the lake, among which the spiritual farms are mostly between the third rank and the fifth rank, with a total of about [-] mu of spiritual farms of each grade, and the lineup of spiritual farms is quite luxurious.

In addition, the entire other courtyard was shrouded in a large spirit gathering array.Under the influence of the Spirit Gathering Formation, the aura in the other courtyard is rich, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the environment is quite good, but the strength of Zhenwu Lingzhi, which is the core eye of the formation, is slightly weaker, and it is just an ordinary Yuanshui Spirit Vine of the tenth rank.

"My lord, this courtyard originally belonged to the Tianrui Chen family. It was a super-first-grade family with six Lingxu ancestors. The Tianrui Chen family has developed well over the years, and the family is flourishing. He is a descendant with good aptitude and potential, so the clan wants to sell part of the clan property in exchange for a fairy scripture, and try to make a difference to the fairy clan." Jiang Jianmu introduced, "It is also because they are short of money, we will give The money is also straightforward, so the transaction can be made at the price of 21 fairy stones, which is a small mistake."

Such large-scale fixed assets, because they are expensive, are not as effective and powerful as Immortal Scriptures and Immortal Artifacts, which can be displayed immediately when they are acquired. Instead, they need to be operated slowly by themselves, and the speed of return to capital is very slow, and the price often exists. Controversy, the turnover rate is usually relatively slow.

Often after a courtyard is listed for sale, it may not be able to be sold for decades or hundreds of years.Therefore, if you want to turn around quickly, you must lower the price.

Moreover, there are not many customers who are willing to take out twenty or thirty fairy stones to purchase large fixed assets.

"In addition, the Tianrui Chen family is thriving now, with the hope of attacking the fairy clan. It seems that the family has good luck. It is also a bit of joy for us to buy their other courtyard."

Jiang Jianmu's words are true.

Some dilapidated families sell fixed assets, and they will always be picky by buyers in every possible way, with all kinds of price reduction and friction, which is part of the reason.

Most families with a long history attach great importance to the term "luck". The poor family's own luck is poor, and buyers are naturally worried about getting bad luck.

Of course, in addition to this, the quality of fixed assets itself is also an important reason.

The decline of a family is often not accomplished overnight, but a long process.In the process, the family's maintenance of the fixed property in the home will become increasingly stretched, just like the main house that has been in disrepair for a long time. up.

Fixed assets like this have to be repaired and maintained after they are bought back, which often requires a lot of time, energy, and capital.

However, properties like Tianrui Chen’s that were sold due to lack of money for promotion are often still profitable before they are sold, and they are better maintained. After they are bought back, they can directly make normal profits without any adjustments. Naturally more popular.

"It's not bad." Wang Shouzhe nodded with satisfaction after inspecting it once, "Patriarch Jianmu has a heart."

As he spoke, he slipped a fairy stone into Jiang Jianmu's hand.

Jiang Jianmu was so excited that he blushed a little: "My lord, you can't do it, you absolutely can't do it! It's only natural for me to do things for you, how can I accept such a generous gift?"

He felt that he was just running around and didn't do anything, so he didn't dare to accept it.

"Just take it if you tell me." Wang Shouzhe waved his hand impatiently, "I don't have the habit of asking people to do things without giving money."

"Then... Jian Mu will thank you, Young Master."

Jiang Jianmu hesitated for a while, but finally he didn't continue to decline, but just thanked him again and again.

Although the family has breathed a sigh of relief now, Jiang Yunxuan and Jiang Muxian will need a lot of resources if they want to attack the real immortals. In addition, the cultivation of the juniors in the clan was delayed due to the lack of resources, and now they have to work hard to catch up. Overall, they are still very lacking. Money.

One more fairy stone, after being dismantled, can also give the family children an extra cultivation resource.

After a pause, Jiang Jianmu said again: "Young master, there are still many farms in the other courtyard. Do you think the tenant farmers in the farmhouse have been dismissed, or are they staying for now?"

"Leave it for the time being." Wang Shouzhe pondered for a while, "You send some smart Jiang clan members to manage the farm. What should be planted, what should be harvested, and what should be harvested should be done according to the usual practice. .”

"Yes, son." Jiang Jianmu immediately accepted the order.

He also calculated in his mind that the young master should not want to take care of these trivial matters, so he needs to spend more time, at least to screen and clean up all the tenants, clean up all the sneaky, slippery and dishonest tenants, and leave those Be solid and dependable, and recruit additional sharecroppers.

In this world, if there is a spiritual field, there is no fear of not being able to recruit tenant farmers to serve it.

While speaking, the flying chariot had already flown over the other courtyard, inspecting the entire courtyard.

Wang Shouzhe knew it well, so he let the flying chariot fall into the water pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The materials used in this water pavilion in the middle of the lake are obviously better than those of the surrounding farms, and the construction is also very quiet and elegant. Even the surrounding vegetation seems to have been carefully taken care of. Obviously, this place should be specially built. It is for the host or distinguished guests who come to live temporarily.

This place has been tidied up, and the daily maintenance is also good. It seems that the Tianrui Chen family should have just evacuated not long ago.

As soon as he saw this waterside pavilion full of aura and misty rain, Wang Shouzhe missed his wife Liu Ruolan a little bit, and missed the little things that happened on the waterside pavilion in the center of Zhuwei Lake.

After being dazed for a while, he came back to his senses and said to Jiang Jianmu, "I'll stay here for a few days."

"My lord, this place hasn't been tidied up yet, why don't you start living in the cave with you." Jiang Muxian said hastily, "Give me a few days to tidy up and arrange this water pavilion in the middle of the lake."

"Okay, then Muxian, you just look busy, I'll take a look around first."

Wang Shouzhe nodded, and let her go to work, and he started to walk casually among the water pavilions by himself.

Before he knew it, he walked to the railing, and as soon as his spiritual sense turned around in the spirit lake, he "seeed" that the lake was full of inspiration, and there were countless kinds of aquatic spirit fish, spirit clams, etc.

The most "eye-catching" among them is a giant aquatic vine lurking in the water.

Most of its thick vines are entrenched and dormant in the lake like a python, and only a part of the spiritual leaves are suspended on the water surface, sucking out the essence of spiritual energy.

As if aware of Wang Shouzhe's "watching", a branch vine on the giant vine suddenly fell off from the main vine, and jumped out of the water with the sound of "crashing" and instantly transformed into a man in a water-green jacket. woman.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a slender figure and a soft temperament. Her long, slightly bluish-green hair was braided into a regular braid hanging by her ears, and there were a few small pieces of hair in the braid. The green spiritual leaf looks quite rustic.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately bowed respectfully to Wang Shouzhe: "My servant, Chen Qianteng, pays homage to the young master. This servant is the spirit plant of the other courtyard, the tenth-rank Yuanshui spirit vine."

She understood that this handsome young man with a deep breath was probably her new master.

As the eye of the spirit gathering formation, she bears the responsibility of suppressing the spirit veins and dredging the spiritual energy, so she cannot leave the core of the formation eye for a long time.This time the other courtyard was sold, and as the leader of the team, she was naturally packaged and sold to Wang Shouzhe.

Otherwise, how could the price of this mere courtyard be as high as more than 20 fairy stones.

"The tenth-level Lingzhi core is a little stumped." Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly.

Her cultivation is only tenth rank, which is theoretically equivalent to the late stage of supernatural powers, which is comparable to his realm.But if there was a fight, Wang Shouzhe, who was of the blood of the Holy Son, could easily crush her to death.

When Chen Qianteng heard Wang Shouzhe's words, he felt bitter and felt a little bit of grievance.

This is Chen's other courtyard, not the main residence.

There is only one spiritual plant at the peak of the eleventh rank in the main house of the Tianrui Chen family.As the head of the other courtyard, she is not as good as the main house in terms of the number of spiritual veins under her feet and the allocation of other resources. Isn't it normal to be at the tenth level?
Besides, she is at the top of the tenth order anyway, so why is it that she is so awkward in guarding the other courtyard?
However, facing the new owner, and not knowing what the new owner's temperament is, she didn't dare to complain casually, so she could only keep her head down and remain silent.

In case the new owner is dissatisfied with her and sells her, she will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of the core formation eyes of the large spirit gathering formation here.

She also gradually grew to where she is now by being the core eye of the Spirit Gathering Formation.Give her another thousand years, maybe she can break through to the eleventh level with water grinding, which is already very good in Lingzhi.

Just when she was uneasy, a small bottle suddenly flew in front of her.

Along with it, there was a sentence from the new protagonist: "This is a small bottle of Chaos Essence, you take it. I hope you can quickly break through the shackles of Lingzhi's bloodline, and quickly advance to the eleventh level, before you can barely reach the level." It looks like Lingzhi's eyes."

What?
Chaos Essence?

Chen Qianteng's mind froze for a moment before he finally came to his senses.

For a moment, her entire vine seemed to be hit by great happiness, and she was so dizzy that she could hardly speak.

She has lived for nearly ten thousand years, and this is the first time she has seen the essence of chaos.How could such a good thing be given to her so casually?
Seeing her bewildered expression, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help laughing.

This vine can grow so big, it should not be too young, why do you look so stupid?

When Wang Shouzhe thought this way, he forgot that when most families raised Lingzhi, they never asked Lingzhi how smart or how much he knew, but as long as he was strong enough.After all, most of the aristocratic families raise Lingzhi for the town house, and there is a high probability that Lingzhi will never leave the house for the rest of his life. Therefore, most Lingzhi have not moved much or experienced many things in their lives, and their temperament is naturally relatively rustic.

Like Wang's Lingzhi, it's strange to start studying ethnology at a young age.

As for the small bottle of Chaos Essence that Wang Shouzhe gave, it was naturally extra after he set aside a reserve share for the little ones in the family.

After laughing, Wang Shouzhe didn't pay much attention to her reaction. He just waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's go to practice. Also, from today onwards, you will change your name to [Wang Qianteng]."

"Yes, young master. Thank you very much, young master. The servant Wang Qianteng will leave now, leave."

Only then did Wang Qianteng come to his senses, holding the small bottle of Chaos Essence tightly as if he had found a treasure, and then plunged it into the water again, impatiently starting to absorb the Chaos Essence and practice.

Wang Shouzhe continued to wander around the courtyard.

However, the leisurely days have only passed two days.

this day.

A luxurious flying chariot descended from the sky and charged towards the other courtyard.

This flying chariot was actually pulled by two twelfth-tier Yuanshui green dragons, and the car behind it was even more luxurious and full of majesty.

The flying chariot has not landed.

A majestic and furious voice came from the flying chariot: "Wang Shouzhe, you brat, you actually insulted this king's favorite jewel, why don't you get out of here quickly?!"

My king?Bullying the Pearl of the Palm?
Wang Shouzhe touched his chin, and he understood instantly as soon as he changed his mind, and then he looked helpless.Well, it seems that the Immortal King of the East China Sea committed suicide and came to find fault.

It came pretty fast~
