"Shhh, people are coming"
Liu Qingmin signaled Patriarch Wu to be silent.
Soon.
A strong coercion came from far away, and before anyone arrived, a strange and pleasant scent of crab apples hit my nostrils.
Fu Changsheng looked into the distance.
However, he saw that the person who came was wearing crescent-colored palace clothes. When he got closer, he found that there was a bean-sized begonia mark between his eyebrows, and he was wearing the jade pendant of the Supreme Elder of the Luo family.
The strongest female cultivator of the Luo family mentioned by Palace Master Xu flashed in Fu Changsheng's mind.
This person should undoubtedly be Luo Haitang of the Luo family.
Fu Changsheng quickly bowed his hands:
"Senior Luo is here to welcome you, but you are welcome from afar."
Although Luo Haitang's Zifu aura did not intentionally escape, standing there gave people a sense of oppression. Although everyone was curious, none of them dared to raise their heads to peep.
The petals gathered at Luo Haitang's feet.
Falling from the air.
He looked at Fu Changsheng with interest:
"I heard that Patriarch Fu was only at the second level of Qi Refining more than thirty years ago. When there were only four cultivators left in the family, he turned the tide on his own and promoted the Fu family to the eighth level step by step. If Huainan If there are more heroes like you in the government, why should our Huainan government not be able to get ahead?"
While talking.
Luo Haitang glanced at the monks present.
Huainan Prefecture is short of resources, and it is close to the Eastern Barren and the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It can be said that it is constantly in turmoil, so compared to other prefectures in Jingzhou, it can be said that it is not as good as a horse.
Even the neighboring Huaibei Prefecture.
They have also always relied on the aura of the seventh-grade Wanjia.
The Luo family also once vigorously supported the lower-level aristocratic families in Huainan Mansion, but none of them could live up to their expectations. Over time, the Luo family gave up on the subordinate aristocratic families.
As long as they pay tribute on time every year.
Don't care about anything else.
but.
for nearly fifty years.
First, the Shangguan family was promoted to the eighth rank, and now there is an eighth rank Fu family.
This gave Luo family executives hope.
in particular.
They learned that Cao Xiang'er, who was born in a fifth-grade golden elixir family in Jinzhou, had a close relationship with the Fu family. Only then did Luo Haitang take the initiative to ask for help and planned to come to the Fu family to see what was going on.
Luo Haitang waved his sleeves.
The fragrance fills your nostrils.
A box with jade patterns on a white background that still carried her residual warmth floated towards Fu Changsheng:
"I heard that your Fu family is good at controlling beasts. I got this monster egg from a sect ruins. Now I give it to you. I hope that your Fu family can successfully hatch it."
Monster eggs?
Fu Changsheng's consciousness swept away.
I found that there was very little life inside.
Luo Haitang must have tried countless methods, but couldn't hatch it before giving this egg to the Fu family.
but.
Since this monster egg was obtained from the ancient sect ruins, its ability to survive for so long shows that this monster egg is extraordinary. Once it is successfully hatched, the Fu family will definitely be able to add another piece of heritage:
"Thank you for the reward, senior. Please come in, senior."
A crowd of people surrounded Luo Haitang and entered the Demon Yu City.
Among the underground.
But he saw a three-legged centipede flashing with yellow light, sinking into the depths of the ground, and quickly heading towards Qianyang Mountain hundreds of miles away. When it reached the cave, the three-legged centipede burst out of the ground with a pop.
The three-legged centipede twisted its tail regularly towards Qiu Kuizi in the cave.
Qiu Kuizi frowned.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanyuan on the side was afraid that her revenge would change, so she hurriedly said:
"Husband, has something happened to the Fu family?"
"Well, that woman Luo Haitang got so crazy that she suddenly came to Fu's house."
The name Luo Haitang was mentioned.
There was obviously a strong hint of fear in Qiu Kuizi's words.
He had just been promoted to the late stage of the Zifu, but decades ago, Luo Haitang, a woman, had already reached the peak of the Zifu. After so many years, if the other party took another step forward, it would be a half-step fake elixir.
Qiu Kuizi coughed lightly:
"Yuanyuan, things have changed. We'd better return to Yinan first. The Fu family can't escape even here. We can just look for opportunities to get rid of them in the future."
"But."
Zhang Yuanyuan finally persuaded Qiu Kuizi.
How can I give up now?
Although I was anxious.
But at this moment, he still suppressed his temper and said:
"Husband, Luo Haitang won't live in Fu's house. It's really not possible. It's not too late for us to wait for her to leave before taking action? Husband, let's wait a little longer."
Qiu Kuizi did know how powerful this woman Luo Haitang was.
During the previous war with the imperial court.
Four Zifu tribe members from the Donghuang tribe besieged each other in the later period, but Luo Haitang killed them all.
Think about this.
Qiu Kuizi suddenly felt relieved.
Shaking his head repeatedly:
"It's too strange that this woman Luo Haitang appears in Yunshan County at this time. If the other party learns that we are hiding here, the consequences will be disastrous. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Evacuate!"
Qiu Kuizi made a decision immediately.
Just leave.
Zhang Yuanyuan was unwilling to give up. She finally came out of Yinan. Even though she couldn't move the Fu family now, she couldn't return empty-handed, so she said:
"Husband, please leave first. I am only a foundation-building practitioner, and I am a monk of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After I use my disguise, no one will be able to discover my identity. I will stay here to collect information about the Fu family. If there is anyone who wants to kill the Fu family, If you have a good opportunity, send a message to your husband."
Qiu Kuizi was a little worried.
Although he was originally just greedy for Zhang Yuanyuan's body, after decades of getting along with her, and Zhang Yuanyuan gave birth to his only child, he has vaguely regarded her as his true Taoist companion, otherwise he would not have dismissed the other concubines.
Under Zhang Yuanyuan's pleading eyes.
He pondered for a while.
One shot storage bag.
A flash of light.
Suddenly, a spiritual talisman with powerful pressure floated towards Zhang Yuanyuan:
"Yuanyuan, this is the third-level high-grade [Qingluan Spirit Talisman]. After being activated, it can transform into a third-level Qingluan bird to fight for you. Just keep it with you. Remember, if you notice something is wrong, retreat immediately. We will still have our days. Look, my husband will definitely avenge you for this revenge of the Fu family."
A few words were said.
Qiu Kuizi left first.
Zhang Yuanyuan carefully placed the [Qingluan Talisman] close to her body. With this talisman, she would have a chance to escape even if she encountered a major repairman from the Zi Mansion.
She looked coldly in the direction of Demon Control City.
Since she can't deal with the Fu family alone, she should find an ally.
If she remembers correctly.
The enmity between the Gongsun family and the Fu family has been made clear.
If not.
The entire Huainan family gathered at the Fu family today, and the Gongsun family would not fail to show up.
but.
It inevitably attracted Luo Haitang's attention.
It's better to be careful.
She still waited for the Fu family's banquet to disperse before heading to Gongsun's house. By then, many guests would return home, and no one would notice that she was an extra person on the road.
In the Fu family banquet hall, Luo Haitang drank for three times before finding a reason to stand up and leave. After all, she stayed here and the entire banquet atmosphere was uncomfortable.
When coming out of the inner city of Yuyao City.
Luo Haitang inadvertently glanced at the main peak of the Fu family behind the Demon Yu City.
There was a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Vaguely.
She always felt that there seemed to be a powerful aura behind the Fu family. This aura was much stronger than hers. However, she sensed it carefully and found nothing:
"It seems I'm overthinking it."
The Fu family is just a foundation-building family.
All the elders in the clan are dead.
How could a monk more powerful than her appear?
after all.
If she takes one more step forward, it will be the golden elixir.
but.
Come here today.
It's not that she didn't gain anything, at least the Fu family's demon-controlling city was well built. She could suggest to the head of the family to invite the Fu family members to come and build one in their fiefdom.
As Luo Haitang left.
The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became much more relaxed.
Everyone was vying to toast Fu Changsheng.
Fu Changsheng was quite easy-going and would not refuse anyone who came. After drinking for three times, he came.
But when he saw Shangguan Feng wink at him, he knew that three eighth-grade aristocratic families had come to discuss important matters today.
The four of them moved to the meeting hall.
After closing the magic circle.
Elder Nangong first congratulated him sourly:
"Clan Chief Fu, today Senior Luo personally came to take charge of your house. Obviously the Luo family attaches great importance to your Fu family. If the Luo family has any resources in the future, they will more or less take your Fu family into consideration. When the time comes, Chief Fu can Don't forget, us old guys."
Elder Shi also nodded in agreement.
After all, Luo Haitang is the Luo family's strongest combat power, ranking among the top five in the entire Jingzhou Zi Mansion's combat power. Her every move represents the Luo family's attitude.
Shangguan Feng coughed lightly.
Bring the words to the topic:
"Chang Sheng, the three of us here this time actually have a big matter to discuss with you."
Shangguan Feng quickly transmitted the message for a while.
When Fu Changsheng heard this, his pupils shrank, a little surprised, but also a little expectant and excited, but he hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:
"Uncle Feng, didn't the imperial court say that they would restart the plan to attack the Yinan tribe? If so, how can we get away?"
Bring this up.
Elder Nangong was angry.
With a bit of resentment he said:
"According to the latest news I received, I don't know what the imperial court means. This plan has been temporarily put on hold. At least in the next ten years, there should be no conquest of the Yinan tribe."
ah? !
Fu Changsheng was stunned.
This change happened too quickly.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, he decided to use the system to exchange information later to see what the specific situation was.
The four of them discussed the matter for a while.
Finally, Elder Shi and Elder Nangong left first.
Only Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Feng were left in the meeting hall.
Shangguan Feng looked at Fu Changsheng intently, stroking his beard and smiling:
"Changsheng, aren't you curious, what is the gift I want to send?"
Hear the words.
Fu Changsheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He quickly stood up and bowed:
"Uncle Feng, but the nobles agreed to my marriage to Hongyu?"
"Yes and no."
Shangguan Feng watched Fu Changsheng grow up and knew the basics. In addition, his daughter had long been in love with him, so he did not beat around the bush and said directly:
"Before Hongyu went into seclusion, she sent me a message saying that she had made a lifelong commitment to you, and asked me to try to convince the old guys in the clan."
There was a pause.
Shangguan Feng said:
"Although you are now the head of an eighth-grade family, Hongyu is already halfway through the Purple Mansion, and the next step will be the overhaul of the Purple Mansion, so the old guys in the clan are naturally reluctant."
He also used the identity of the great elder and father.
Tell the truth.
This made those old stubborns take a step back:
"This thing couldn't be done, but the stubborn old men in the clan saw that Hong Yu was determined and didn't bite him to death. However, they gave three conditions."
"First, if you want to marry Hongyu, your cultivation level must be at least equal to Hongyu's. In other words, if Hongyu has broken through the Zifu, then you must also become a major cultivator in the Zifu before you can proceed."
When Fu Changsheng heard this, his originally excited mood suddenly calmed down a bit.
For now.
Hongyu is already halfway to Zifu.
That is to say.
He must first open the Niwan Palace before he is eligible to propose marriage.
The premise is.
Before that.
Hongyu did not break through Zifu.
However, considering that Hongyu is currently practicing the "Nine Heavens Star Technique", it will take a long time to reach the perfection of tendon refining state.
And he has the bonus point of [Improved Qualifications of Heirs].
It should be possible to get half a step into the Zi Mansion before Hong Yu breaks through the Zi Mansion:
"Uncle Feng, what about the second condition?"
"The second thing is that after Hongyu gets married, she needs a separate fiefdom and will not live in the same place as your first wife."
This is easy to handle.
Currently, the Fu family has two fiefdoms, namely Yunshan County and Pingshan County. In addition, there is also a clan land in Anyang County. These places are short of manpower to take charge. If Hongyu is willing to take charge of one of them, it would be even better.
and.
Fu Changsheng felt vaguely.
Mei Zhen seemed to have anticipated this situation, so she went to Jingzhou first. Judging from Mei Zhen's posture, she probably would not return to Jingzhou in the future, and even if she came back, she would not stay for too long.
This can be avoided perfectly.
Fu Changsheng continued:
"Uncle Feng, what about the last condition?"
Neither of the first two conditions mentioned the betrothal gift.
The Shangguan family has finally managed to cultivate a half-step Zifu, and they will definitely not let him go to waste with nothing.
Shangguan Feng said:
"Third, you need to take out three Foundation Establishment Pills and six Sanyang Pills as betrothal gifts."
Sure enough.
but.
This was not a problem for him.
The foundation-building elixir in Huangshi Medicine Garden will be mature in more than ten years. When the time comes, let Mei Zhen help refine it and free up three of them as betrothal gifts.
As for the Sanyang Pill, it is an auxiliary elixir used to break through the three levels of foundation building. It is also called the small foundation building pill. It is a second-level elixir. As long as you find the pill recipe and spiritual materials, you can refine it. , you can also buy it at Wanning Chamber of Commerce.
Fu Changsheng stood up and bowed solemnly:
"Uncle Feng, don't worry, I will definitely implement the above three conditions as soon as possible and strive to marry Hong Yu as soon as possible."
"Don't be in a hurry, just take your time."
Although Shangguan Feng wanted to facilitate this marriage.
but.
He didn't want his daughter to leave him so soon, even if it was Fu Changsheng who he had watched grow up.
Fu Changsheng personally sent Shangguan Feng off.
Fu Changli stepped forward to report back:
"Master, the Liu family and the Wu family in Anyang County saw that it was getting late and planned to stay at our place for the night. In addition, Patriarch Hong is also waiting in the living room and said he has private matters to discuss with you."
"Private matter?"
Fu Changsheng frowned slightly.
He has no connection with the newly appointed Hong patriarch.
Fu Changli glanced around and added:
"I heard that after Patriarch Hong took office, he became unfamiliar with the Cui family and the Qi family. Today, Patriarch Hong came to the banquet himself.
At the banquet.
I heard that the heads of the Cui and Qi families went to the Hong family twice to let the elder Hong, who had abdicated, take over the family business. They even suggested that the elder Hong choose a successor. For this reason, something happened in the Hong family. There was a shock, but in the end it was the new Hong Patriarch who took over the position of head of the family. "
so.
The relationship between the Cui family, Qi family and Hong family also ended.
There was a pause.
Fu Changli added another sentence:
"The new clan leader heard that there was turmoil in the Hong family and even killed his own clan brother."
so.
Speaking of Patriarch Hong.
There was a hint of displeasure in Fu Changli's words:
"Master, if you feel tired and don't want to see him, I can just find any reason to send him away."
"No"
It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.
After Fu Changsheng went up from the mountain gate, he went to the living room in person, but saw that Patriarch Hong had finished drinking a pot of tea, and a pair of dazzling twins behind him were refilling his tea. Seeing Fu Changsheng come in, the twins immediately raised their eyes, He glanced at Fu Changsheng with infinite charm.
If it were ordinary people, their souls would already be swaying.
However, the twins were full of charm, but their beauty could not compare with Qingru, Mei Zhen, Hong Yu and Cao Xiang'er. Therefore, Fu Changsheng almost glanced past the twins and walked up to the top. Take a seat.
Patriarch Hong was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Fu Changsheng's determination was so strong. He thought that Liu Meizhen was not in Jingzhou, and even if Fu Changsheng had Yu Qingru, he would change the taste of the food no matter how good or delicious it was after eating it for a long time. He never thought that the other party would not care about it. .
Patriarch Hong is also very thoughtful.
He immediately stepped back and asked for the next best thing:
"Clan Chief Fu, I heard that your son Brother Fan only married a first wife. After so many years, he doesn't even have a concubine, let alone a wife. Chief Fu, what do you think of my daughter?"
I just experienced the affair of Qiu Ya.
Fu Changsheng instinctively rejects women of the opposite sex.
He was about to open his mouth to refuse.
Patriarch Hong immediately said:
"Clan Leader Fu, to be honest, my wife is born with a special constitution. After cultivating with her, especially when she breaks through the bottleneck, she often has unexpected auxiliary effects. Although my two daughters only have four spiritual roots, they can inherit them if they are not fully preserved. Given their mother's special physique, if they find a suitable method of dual cultivation and a person with whom they can cultivate, it will be possible for them to establish a foundation in the future. Once they have established a foundation, they will be of even greater help to those who practice dual cultivation with them."
One sentence.
These twins are the best furnaces.
And it's mutually beneficial.
Of course, the premise is that they have special qualities.
Fu Changsheng swept his consciousness and found that their virgin sand seal was still there. He immediately moved his mind and his thoughts fell on the panel:
"Exchange information"
Buzz.
The panel vibrates.
Then a large amount of yellow light surged.
Then a line of text appeared:
[Clan Chief Hong's twin daughters have been detected by the Hong family's special method and are not of special physique, but in fact they are a higher-level auxiliary dragon spirit body, but they have not yet awakened! ]
Auxiliary dragon spirit body?
Fu Changsheng was overjoyed. As a result, he had to accept this great gift. It was undoubtedly most appropriate to betroth the twins to Brother Fan.
Brother Fan's qualifications are only five spiritual roots. Although they have improved a little, they are still too poor. Even if he breaks through the foundation building, if there is no special opportunity, he will stop here in this life.
But there is a shortcut in front of us.
Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on the twin sisters:
"Clan Chief Hong, do you mean that when you practice dual cultivation, you need to do it together with the two of them to have miraculous effects?"
"Exactly"
Chief Hong saw Fu Changsheng making a move.
He quickly opened his heart and said:
"Clan Chief Fu, this daughter of mine is the daughter of my first wife. If it were not a last resort, I would never marry them off. I want to marry a noble this time. I have no other thoughts than to find a girl." Backer, frighten the Cui family."
"The Cui family has conquered a ninth-grade Cao family under their name. If they want to be promoted to the eighth grade, the quickest way is to seize the fiefdom of our Hong family, and then support a puppet to ascend to the throne. Then they will meet the conditions for promotion to the eighth grade."
"to this end"
"As early as twenty years ago, he began to quietly make plans."
"First, he spoke ill of me in front of the previous generation of elders of the Hong family, sowing discord between us. Then, he threatened that if I took charge of the Hong family in the future, the alliance between the three families would be severed, and he asked us to establish a new head of the Hong family."
"His purpose is simple"
"He just wants our Hong family to have internal strife, so that he can reap the benefits, and he can also legitimately take over our Hong family's fiefdom in the name of rebellion."
"Now our clan brother's eldest son has been secretly taken in by the Cui family. If it weren't for Patriarch Fu and you being promoted to the eighth rank first, by this time, our Hong family would have been defeated by the Cui family and the Qi family and the Cao family."
"Clan Chief Fu"
"Everyone thinks that the Cui family is a gentleman, but in fact it is the Cui family who are the most capable of underhanded tactics."
"The trick of boiling frogs in warm water, that old man from the Cui family is really good at it."
"I came to Patriarch Fu today because I wanted to use Patriarch Fu's power to intimidate the Cui family. I also asked Patriarch Fu to save our Hong family. Our Hong family will definitely be grateful and remember it forever!"
Said.
Patriarch Hong and his twins knelt down on the spot.
Grab the ground with your head.
It was obvious that these words came from the heart.
After Fu Changsheng heard this, he also felt horrified.
If the Cui family is really as Patriarch Hong said, they can be ruthless even to their closest allies. They are really ruthless characters who eat people without spitting out their bones.
To know.
over the past hundreds of years.
The Hong family and the Qi family always put the Cui family first.
When Patriarch Hong saw Fu Changsheng, he still refused to let go. He immediately waved his sword and swore the oath of the demon in his blood:
"Beyond the law of heaven, I, Hong Yunbao, have married my daughter into the Fu family. If I have any other intention, then I will be burned to death by the flames of my karma, and the Hong family and the Hong family will be plunged into eternal catastrophe!"
The twins on the side had tears in their eyes.
Others thought that their father was reluctant to give up his position as head of the family for personal gain, but in fact everything his father did was for the Hong family.
The two of them also took the oath of inner demons by taking blood.
Fu Changsheng saw this.
How could he push an attached ninth-grade family out of the door and immediately said:
"Clan Chief Hong, please get up quickly. I promise to be your general. However, the person to marry may not necessarily be Brother Fan. After all, he already has a wife. I have to ask the child for his opinion."
"It should, it should"
The head of the Hong clan was overjoyed.
The Fu family is valued even by the seventh-grade Luo family.
They successfully married into the Fu family.
He didn't believe that that bitch from the Cui family was so bold and dared to touch the Hong family.
Just when the three members of the Hong family were thanking each other.
A familiar mechanical voice lit up in Fu Changsheng's consciousness:
"bite"
"You gained the surrender of a ninth-grade family head, and added a pair of twins with auxiliary dragon bodies to the family, gaining 600 family contribution points."
Immediately afterwards.
The originally cleared value on the panel instantly changed to six hundred.
Fu Changsheng felt happy.
He planned to wait until the work was over, and then try to see if the [Improvement of Heir Qualifications] was effective on Brother Qiang. If Brother Qiang could not be given the spiritual root qualifications, he would have to find another way.
Hope everything goes well.
Chief Hong was afraid that Fu Changsheng would regret it, so he couldn't wait to leave with his two daughters. At the same time, he immediately asked the clan members to prepare wedding invitations and send them out to each family.
