protect our patriarch

……

"Ning Xi, the fourth brother sent a letter to call you over this time."

After the gossip, Wang Shouye's expression suddenly became serious, and he took out an encrypted storage disk from the storage ring and handed it to Ning Xi.

The content in it mainly talks about some follow-up actions in Nanye Shenzhou, and some supplies are passed on.

After reading Shouzhe's letter carefully, Wang Ningxi also breathed a sigh of relief: "My grandfather's operation in Nanye Shenzhou went very smoothly, I'm really gratified."

"This holy flame of thunder was specially photographed by your grandparents for you." Wang Shouye took out another holy flame that kept flashing with thunder, and handed it to him with a smile, "Now, you don't have to I am no longer envious of my holy flame."

nice one.

Wang Ningxi's eyes lit up, he put away the holy flame with joy, and decided to refine it after returning home.

"You have also heard what my fourth brother said. Development is the last word. The fourth brother will worry about the strategy and layout. Our task is to handle the logistics in Luojing." Wang Shouye's expression was serious. Woke up, "Our war with the demons is a protracted battle, and the final battle is still about comprehensive strength."

"I understand that I will definitely live up to my grandfather's expectations." Wang Ningxi nodded and said very solemnly.

Afterwards, the two further discussed and refined the next policy and actions.

It was not until an hour later that Wang Ningxi finally left.

However, just as Wang Ningxi left, Luo Jia, the empress of Dongfang Lingrou, ran into Wang Shouye's study on the other side.

The two of them didn't quarrel, they just had to keep an eye on everything they did, and the atmosphere was quite sharp, causing Wang Shouye a headache.

Sigh~ When will such a day end~
He just wants to make a pill quietly, is it that difficult?

……

half a month later.

In the outer suburbs of the northern city of Luojing, Ji's Xingwang Workshop.

Ximen Yaoqing returned to the workshop and was about to go to his locker to pack his things, but just as he entered the door, he was caught by a "middle-aged man" full of food.

"How dare you come back, you bastard? One month! For a whole month, if you don't reply to the message or answer the communication, do you still have the workshop and me as the supervisor? Don't you want to do it?!"

The "middle-aged man" was obviously in a bad mood, and he just spit at him.

The angry roar immediately attracted many colleagues to watch from a distance.

Some of these people obviously knew the inside story, and their eyes were full of gloating, but there were also many people who had a good relationship with Ximen Yaoqing, and their eyes were full of worry when they looked at him.

"Director Hou, I just went out to relax when I was bored. I admit that it was my fault to leave without saying goodbye." Ximen Yaoqing endured his emotions and tried to keep his tone calm, "But I came back this time to resign, and I will take back the storage by the way. locker for personal belongings."

"You...resigned?"

The middle-aged director Hou who still wanted to continue scolding was stunned.

Obviously, Ximen Yaoqing's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.

He looked Ximen Yaoqing up and down, then curled his lips, showing a sneer of disdain: "It's really courageous. Okay, you can resign if you want to. I'd like to see, what is there in this huge Luojing city?" Home Workshop dares to accept you."

The Ji family of the ancient gods is not joking, even if the branch family raises this name, others will inevitably have to back down a bit, it is too easy to ban a small craftsman.

Ximen Yaoqing didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and said indifferently: "There is no need for Director Hou to worry about this. Xingwang Workshop still owes me half a year's wages, totaling [-] Lingshi. Please ask Director Hou to settle the bill."

"Wages? Do you still dare to ask for wages?" Director Hou screamed as if his tail had been stepped on, "Because you played and disappeared, the workshop lost at least more than 1000 spirit stones. It is enough for you not to make you lose money Get out, get out immediately."

"Are you relying on my wages?" Ximen Yaoqing's eyes were burning, but he managed to hold back his anger, and said in a cold voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will sue the government?"

"Sue~ Sue if you have the guts." Director Hou said sarcastically, "Just to let you know what the last name of Luo Jing's Tian is."

Ximen Yaoqing's face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, but he finally decided to hold back his anger.In the future, as long as you work hard in Dongxia Military Industry, you will not be afraid of this loss.

But just as he turned around and was about to calm down and leave Xingwang Workshop, Director Hou's mocking voice suddenly came from behind him: "You really are a wimp. Even if your girlfriend is robbed, you don't dare to fart, what can you do?" Promise?"

"What did you say?"

Ximen Yaoqing's eyes were red, and he turned his head and pounced like an enraged bull.

Although Director Hou is also a cultivator in Heaven and Human Realm, his body shape shows that he is quite perfunctory and slack in cultivation, and his combat power is also mediocre. Ximen Yaoqing is violent again, and he has no time to react at all.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Ximen Yaoqing successfully suppressed Director Hou and beat him on the head.

"Ximen Yaoqing, are you crazy?!"

"Crazy, crazy ~ Ximen Yaoqing, stop!"

The onlookers didn't expect the matter to develop to this stage, and all of them changed their faces wildly, and they all exclaimed.

There were also a few people who rushed up directly, trying to pull the two of them apart, but were thrown flying by Ximen Yaoqing.

The entire Xingwang Workshop was in chaos.

****
ten days later.

The Public Security Bureau in the outer suburbs of Luojing Beicheng.

Ximen Yaoqing, who was still wounded on his body, hung his head, followed Wang Keying with downcast eyes and stepped out of the gate of Zhi'anshu.

His eyes were terrified, and his tone was full of frustration: "Miss Ke Ying, I really didn't expect this incident to alarm you and cause you to come all the way to bail me out. If this incident troubles you, I will resign It’s also to blame.”

When she first received the news, Wang Keying was indeed a little annoyed.

The person she is in charge of making the decision to recruit has such a big incident just after joining the job, it will inevitably affect her performance, and may even affect her family's merits.

The latter is what she values ​​most. There are too many treasures that she wants to exchange in the family treasure house.

But at the moment, she was quite calm.

"I've read the dossier." Wang Keying said indifferently, "And I also asked your colleagues in the workshop to find out about the situation. Although you are a little impulsive in this matter, it is understandable. Forget about this time, I don’t want to worry too much about it. After you quickly deal with the rest of the matter, go back and report for training immediately.”

"Yes, Miss Ke Ying, I will definitely work harder." Ximen Yaoqing was ashamed and grateful.

was talking.

A luxurious flying chariot pulled by two seventh-order phoenixes suddenly descended from the sky, hovering and landing not far from Ximen Yaoqing.

A young celestial girl flew out of the flying chariot and landed in front of Ximen Yaoqing.

She gave him a very complicated look: "I heard about you, you are too impulsive."

"I……"

Ximen Yaoqing opened his mouth, glanced at the flying chariot from afar, and then at Tweety who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he was full of bitterness and couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Wang Keying stopped and retreated to the corner, folded her arms and half-closed her eyes, patiently waiting for Ximen Yaoqing to deal with her personal affairs.

"Actually, I originally asked Mr. Zhou to release you on bail." Cui'er sighed, with a hint of regret and sentimentality in her tone, "By the way, I also want to take this opportunity to tell you about the matter." It is clear. Yaoqing, you are a good person. I am the one who is at fault for this, because I don’t want to live a hard life anymore, because I am not willing to go back to my hometown in such a dismal state and be ridiculed by others.”

Ximen Yaoqing rolled his Adam's apple, smiled with difficulty, nodded and said, "Tweety, you have the right to choose the life you want. I hope you can live a better life, and I wish you success."

"I'm leaving."

Tweety gritted her teeth fiercely, and got on the flying chariot without looking back.

The flying chariot soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Looking at this scene, Wang Keying's expression was also slightly complicated.

On the one hand, she felt somewhat sympathetic to what happened to Ximen Yaoqing, on the other hand, she was also somewhat thankful that she was born in the Wang family.

Even if she has ambitions and ideals in her heart, she just needs to work hard to be herself, instead of being unable to bear the failure and pressure like that girl, and taking another shortcut.

"Miss Ke Ying, I told you to read a joke." Ximen Yaoqing smiled forcedly, and saluted Wang Keying apologetically.

"Come on." Wang Keying nodded slightly at him, with an encouraging smile on her face.

"I will." Ximen Yaoqing's eyes gradually became firmer, "Before we leave, there is one last thing to do."

With that said, he turned on the communication watch, swiped and swiped through the operation, and sent a message to all the colleagues he knew in the circle of friends and the refiners who had worked with him: "I have joined Dongxia Military Industry Group. I have more money and less work. I am a good leader." .”

By the way, he also attached his salary and various benefits.

In an instant, his circle of friends exploded, and a lot of private chat messages frantically poured into his communication watch, some expressed envy and jealousy, and countless people sent private messages asking, how can I get a job at Dongxia Military Industry, and the benefits are Not really that good blah blah blah.

Ximen Yaoqing replied one by one very patiently.

This is his purpose.

Apart from relatives and friends in his circle of friends, most of them are colleagues of refiners from various refineries.

Those with potential will naturally lure them away, and those without ability and potential will also make them unable to continue their current job with peace of mind.

At the same time, he responded with a big middle finger to Director Hou who sent the furious news!

＊＊＊＊＊＊
The story of Ximen Yaoqing is just a small episode, but since Dongxia Military Industry began to recruit workers, there have been more and more similar episodes, gradually stirring up a violent whirlwind in Luojing's crafting world.

Another small court meeting.

The patriarch of the Ji family yelled at Wang Ningxi directly in front of the courtiers and Emperor Cangping: "You Wang family is too much! This is vicious competition, this is blatantly targeted poaching. Your Majesty, this matter You can't ignore the matter, if this continues, the whole Luojing will be messed up, and everyone is in danger!"

Seeing Ji's patriarch's blushing and thick-necked furry appearance, he was obviously annoyed by this matter.

Now Marshal Ji, the ancestor of the Ji family, is struggling to withstand the army of demons on the front line. The Emperor Cangping is not good and doesn't give him any face, so he rubbed his head and persuaded Wang Ningxi: "Ning Xi, this Although the emperor understands your determination and purpose of establishing Dongxia Military Industry, are the wages and welfare conditions too high? Why don’t you save some money and indirectly reduce the cost of construction.”

"Return to Your Majesty." Wang Ningxi cupped his hands leisurely, "Our Wang family's business philosophy is that every employee is a family member. Since they are family members, we naturally hope that they can live a good life instead of deducting their due salary. .”

"Taking a step back, Dongxia Military Industry's salary standard is formulated with reference to the standards of our Shenwu Changning Weapon Refining Directorate, and many of the management and technical personnel are directly transferred from Wang's Weapon Refining Directorate. Yes. If the salary of Dongxia Military Industry is too low and there is no potential for development, how can our outstanding management talents, refining talents, and R&D talents be willing to join Dongxia Military Industry? At that time, Dongxia Military Industry will be an empty shell."

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Cangping felt even more troublesome: "Can't we implement two sets of salary standards? Your Wang's talents are paid according to high standards, and newly recruited employees are paid according to Luo Jing's salary standards."

"Your Majesty!" Wang Ningxi looked at Emperor Cangping as if he was looking at a fool, and his voice raised an octave unconsciously, "Equal work is not paid, and the same post is not the same. This move will not only chill people's hearts, It will also encourage the privileged mentality of our own young people in the Wang family, and instead harm them."

"If things go on like this, the hearts of Dongxia Military Industry will be scattered and disintegrated. If His Majesty insists, our General Director of Wang's Artifact Refining will abdicate and let someone else do it."

These words made Shenhuang Cangping's old face turn dark red, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in his heart, and his tone became hard: "I also admit that what you said is reasonable, then follow your imagination."

He couldn't help complaining secretly.After all, Wang Ningxi is from a technical background, and he really doesn't understand the world.

For a while, Emperor Cangping missed Wang Fugui a little bit, he understood people's ways of the world, and spoke nicely.

"His Majesty!"

The ancestor of the Ji family was anxious when he heard the words.

However, just as he was about to speak again, he was stunned by Emperor Cangping: "Everyone is a craftsman, and everyone is taking military orders. Under the same quality standards, why can Dongxia Military Industry offer high salaries? Your Ji family But not? If your Ji family can’t do it, don’t do it, and transfer it to the general director of the Wang family’s crafting.”

"If you don't seek to make progress, how can you still have the face to cry to the emperor? I advise you to learn management and production experience like Dongxia Military Industry. Don't always stick to the old ones, otherwise you will be eliminated sooner or later."

After finishing speaking, Divine Emperor Cangping didn't bother to care about Patriarch Ji's ugly face, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Originally, this kind of pure commercial competition was the business of the major families. Unless there was some vicious incident, it would not be his turn to worry about it.

If he asks a question, a few words of persuasion are already doing Ji Taichang face.

If Ji's continued to be self-sufficient and reaped the consequences in the future, that would be Ji's own business, so what has it to do with him?
＊＊＊＊＊＊
the same time period.

The former World Annihilating Demon Realm.

Things haven't been good on the front lines over the years.

Although the military god Ji Taichang has tried his best to stop the demon army and gained some small local advantages, the overall battle situation is still retreating steadily. In just a few decades, the previously occupied advantages have been eliminated. Lost half.

But even so, Dongxia's army is still struggling to maintain.

In the former World Extermination Demon Realm, there was a celestial lake named [Xianxi Tianhu].

The area of ​​Xianxi Tianhu Lake is not particularly large among the Tianhu Lakes, but the scenery is very beautiful, especially when the tide of the Tianhe River rises and falls, the sky will be filled with light and mist, making the entire Tianhu Lake It looks like a fairyland.

It is also because of this that it has the name [Xianxi Tianhu].

If the entire World Destroyer Demon Realm is divided into five rings, Xianxi Tianhu is located on the third ring line, and it is relatively close to the direction of Dongxia from the azimuth.

Today, the headquarters base of the Dongxia Army, headed by the God of Pingtian King Ji Taichang, is located next to the Immortal Resting Heavenly Lake.

now.

In the largest fortress in the main base, a huge starry sky sand table is slowly rotating, and the energy light bands representing the Milky Way emit fluorescence, and small worlds like transparent bubbles are scattered around the light bands. Marks of various colors are floating, and each mark is equipped with miniature information, and some of the marks are even moving slowly.

Beside the sand table, a group of counselors are busy with their duties.

Standing at the position with the best view beside the starry sky sand table, Ji Taichang, the god of peace, is looking up at the various information displayed on the sand table.

In just a few decades, he seemed to have aged thousands of years all of a sudden.

The white hair on his head suddenly grew a lot more, the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes were obviously deepened, and his whole body looked extremely tense and tired, only those deep eyes were still as sharp as before.

With his hands behind his back, his eyes were fixed on the sand table, and from time to time, one battle report after another, either unfavorable or asking for help, would come from his ears.

His expression was as cold as ice: "How long can we hold on?"

The counselors under his command glanced at each other, and one of the old men stepped out slowly: "Back to Generalissimo, according to the current state, if we don't have reinforcements arriving, we can last at most another 30 years! After 30 years, we will have to withdraw In the void sea battlefield, the flames of war will spread to the land of the Eastern Xia Dynasty!"

"Grand Marshal, does Your Majesty still insist on the peace strategy?" A confidant general under Ji Taichang asked hoarsely, "The demons' offensive is so powerful and they have the upper hand, even if we can sue for peace, I'm afraid we have to pay a huge The price! At that time, even if the other party breaks the contract, we will have nothing to do! How can Your Majesty be so confused?!"

In fact, there are not a few people who have the same thoughts as him. Hearing what he said, several people immediately cast their gazes over, as if they wanted to observe the generalissimo's reaction.

"Bastard!" Ji Taichang scolded angrily, "How can you speculate on His Majesty's thoughts? As soldiers, we only need to obey."

The gazes projected over were immediately retracted.

"Grand Marshal, your subordinates are not trying to speculate on His Majesty the Emperor." The voice of the confidant general also immediately dropped, but his tone was a little aggrieved, "I just heard that the reason why your Majesty asked for peace was the treacherous little boy of the Shenwu Wang family. The man Wang Fugui bewitched and instigated, and the peace mission that Wang Fugui sent as an envoy to the Demon Race will soon arrive at our base camp headquarters. What the subordinates mean is that it is better to imprison Wang Fugui..."

"Are you forcing Marshal Miyamoto to rebel?" Ji Taichang stared at him sharply, and said coldly, "Come here, take him down, punish thirty [Holy Thorn Whip], and hang them at the gate of the fortress for public display , to serve as an example to others."

"Yes!"

A group of personal guards rushed out immediately, quickly detained the confidant general, whipped him and hung him in front of the marshal's tent.

The confidant general probably knew that what he said was a bit too much. Although he was beaten up and hung up, he didn't resist, but seemed very depressed.

Others in the headquarters base also understood the generalissimo's attitude. Although they still couldn't avoid talking and complaining in private, they generally calmed down a lot.

In this way, another five or six days passed.

The [Peace Mission] fleet led by Wang Fugui finally arrived at the base camp of Xianxi Tianhu.

As a show of solemnity, Ji Taichang greeted the mission in person, and invited the group directly into the marshal's fortress.

This time, the members of the [Supplication Division], in addition to the person in charge, Wang Fugui, was also accompanied by a holy king [Hengqi Holy King] from the Xuanyuan clan. Sheng Xie Kun, and Wang Zongkun of the Wang family also came.

There is no doubt that among the missions this time, Shengwang Hengqi is the official envoy in name, while Wang Fugui is actually the deputy envoy in name.

This is not surprising.The envoys of the peace-seeking mission should not be lower than the Great Luo Realm, otherwise the demons might think that Dongxia is teasing them.

And the Holy King Hengqi is one of the few strongmen in the late stage of the Da Luo Realm in the Xuanyuan Clan, with tyrannical combat power, even among the many holy kings of the Xuanyuan Clan, he has a very high status.

Only with him as the envoy can Dongxia show how much she attaches importance to the matter of "seeking peace".

However, according to the will of Emperor Cangping, Wang Fugui is the one who is really in charge of the mission.

The main task of the Holy King Hengqi's trip was to protect Wang Fugui.

According to Emperor Cangping's instructions before his departure, if the critical moment came, the Holy King Hengqi would do anything to get Wang Fugui back.

"Old Marshal Ji." The Holy King Hengqi noticed the general who was hanging in front of the fortress, and asked casually, "Dare to ask what this general has committed, so that he has to be punished and hung up for public display?"

"The Holy King of Hengqi, I blame Ji for not being strict with his orders. How dare this person question His Majesty's national policy of seeking peace with wild words. He is really deceiving the public." Ji Taichang said seriously, "I hang it up to let others People are cautious in their words and deeds, so as not to cause conflicts."

As soon as this statement came out, many counselors and generals in the camp all stared at Wang Fugui, as if this person was the real treacherous person who deceived the public!
Under the burning eyes, Wang Fugui smiled indifferently: "It is not the style of our Dongxia Dynasty to be convicted for words. Marshal Ji is implying that His Majesty is ignorant and scheming. He is a person who can be deceived by a few words of slander." Are you a fool?"

A certain counselor stood up and gave Wang Fugui a look: "Master Messenger is really eloquent and eloquent. The world has its own opinion on whether this matter is right or not."

"Presumptuous, shut up." Ji Taichang gave the counselor a cold look, "What qualifications do you have to judge the envoy of wealth? He has been on the battlefield since he was a child, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements."

"A military god who has made outstanding achievements?" Suddenly, some generals sneered, "It's just a small fight in the small world of martial arts, and he dares to call himself the 'Military God'. Besides, God knows what his achievements are. It was not boasted by Shenwu Wang himself, how could he do it well?"

"The envoy of riches and honor advocates seeking peace, isn't it just because we dislike us soldiers for our ineffectiveness in fighting?" Another counselor said slowly, "Since the envoy of riches and honor is known as the 'God of the Divine Army', why not just talk about the current situation and how to break the situation."

Everyone said something to each other, as if they were throwing Wang Fugui on the fire, with the meaning of "You despise our marshal who can't fight, but you can do it if you can".

The Saint King Hengqi shuddered slightly in his heart.

This is because the army is dissatisfied with Wang Fugui and deliberately wants to make him look bad.If you can't pass this level, I'm afraid the demons will be greatly hindered.

He recalled His Majesty's words, and immediately wanted to bite the bullet and take the words over.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Wang Fugui suddenly stood up, clasped his hands around, and said, "Everyone, you and I are both serving the country, but each has its own method."

"Wang Fugui! Who is the same as a treacherous villain like you!" A titan couldn't help jumping out immediately, and scolded angrily, "We are all soldiers who are not afraid of death and can die for the country at any time. No You are a hypocritical person who only knows how to beg for mercy and beg for peace."

"Okay." Wang Fugui said with a "forgiving" face, as if he was being forced to fight back, "You guys didn't fight well, but your temper is really not small. Since I want to give advice, then I will come Give me some pointers."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience fell silent.

The Holy King of Hengqi was even more heartbroken, secretly thinking that it was not good.

Isn't this scolding the generalissimo in person?
……
