Chapter 93: There Will Finally Be a Harvest! Long-Term Layout

…

same time period.

Inside the main residence of the Huangfu family.

When Huangfu Jinhuan rushed to the front yard, he saw a figure standing quietly under the verandah of the front yard.

He was a tall, handsome young man.

His back was turned to him, and his eyes were falling lightly on the flower trees in the courtyard.

From Huangfu Jinhuan's perspective, only his robes and half of his face could be seen.

He wore a set of white robes embroidered with dark flowers of the same color, and a long cloak casually draped over his shoulders. He looked casual, but the fur on the cloak was precious beast fur. It looked smooth and extremely luxurious. .

This cloak alone is worth thousands of gold.

This made him look like a dandy from a wealthy family. He was brilliant and noble, but he didn't have much intimidating power.

However, the moment he saw this figure, Huangfu Jinhuan's breath tightened and he subconsciously stopped.

The figure under the corridor seemed to be aware of it, and glanced back at Huangfu Jinhuan: "It seems that the pressure that the Ping An Wang family has put on the Huangfu family is much greater than I imagined. The head of the Huangfu family, who has always been wise and decisive, actually Becoming timid.”

His voice was light and a little careless.

But the word "wise and decisive" didn't sound like a compliment to Huangfu Jinhuan, but more like a satire.

There was anger in his heart for a moment, but he forced it down again. He raised his hand and saluted him as if nothing happened: "Jinhuan didn't know that the young master was coming in person. I missed the welcome from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

"The so-called ignorance is not to blame. If I hold on to such a small detail, it will make me look like a chicken." The young man in white chuckled, his tone was still light, "However, the head of the Huangfu family must have forgotten that you still owe me three things." Human lives.”

Three lives?

Huangfu Jinhuan's heart skipped a beat and he reacted instantly.

It's Mr. Yin and the three of them.

In order to plot against Wang Shouzhe and seize the manufacturing workshop equipment blueprints, he specially invited Mr. Yin and three others to take action, but they ended in failure.

Later, the Huangfu family tried to rebel and steal the designs and drawings of Wang's cement workshop.

Ancestor Hua Ye even took action personally for this, but ended up falling into Wang Shouzhe's plan. Not only did he fail to win the game, but he was seriously injured and unable to recover.

Later, on the one hand, he wanted to find a way to treat the injury of Patriarch Hua Ye, but on the other hand, he was almost out of breath due to a series of business conflicts from the Wang family. While he was so anxious, he did not care about the Yin Sha Sect. matter.

Could it be said that this person is actually here to settle accounts?

He broke out in a cold sweat instantly: "Mr. Master, there is actually a reason for this..."

"No need to explain." The young master casually interrupted Huangfu Jinhuan, his tone was neither light nor serious, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, "Yin Wujiu failed because of his own incompetence. I don't listen to nonsense. But Yin Wujiu is. The person who works for me. Since he was broken by you, you have to make up for this person."

With that said, he turned around and faced Huangfu Jinhuan head-on for the first time.

His face was undoubtedly handsome, and his facial features were impeccable, but there was no trace of the warmth that an ordinary person should have in his dark, deep eyes. They were just as cold and indifferent as the abyss.

It was as if, in his eyes, he was just one of thousands of ants that could be easily crushed to death.

Huangfu Jinhuan felt a heavier pressure than when he faced his ancestor.

He unconsciously lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know, young master, if you want the brocade ring, how can you repay these three lives? My Huangfu family's current strength is not as good as before. I'm afraid..."

"Isn't there still Hua Ye?"

The young master's voice was still light and airy, but Huangfu Jinhuan was shocked when he heard it and raised his head suddenly: "You, you mean..."

The young master's tone was still casual: "As far as I know, although Hua Ye's injuries are serious, the most troublesome thing is the Zifu sword energy in his body. As long as the sword energy can be suppressed, most of his injuries will be cured."

Huangfu Jinhuan was still a little worried: "That's the Zifu sword energy..."

"So what about the Purple Mansion Sword Qi?" Young Master chuckled, "I have my own secret method to suppress it. Do you not believe me, or do you not believe in my Yin Sha Sect's background?"

Huangfu Jinhuan heard that the young master seemed a little displeased and said hurriedly: "Believe it, Jinhuan naturally believes in the strength of the young master and the Yin Sha Sect."

The Yinsha Sect is the number one sect in the far west, and its strength is naturally extremely strong.

The person in front of me is one of the direct disciples of the Yinsha Sect of this generation. Not to mention being promoted to the Heavenly Realm at a young age, it is rare for a genius to have a fourth-level spiritual body bloodline after being promoted to Heavenly Human. The road to the Purple Mansion in the future He is magnanimous, and his mental methods are also first-class and powerful.

Among the people Huangfu Jinhuan knew, only Fang Youan, a direct disciple of Zifu Academy, could rival him.

In terms of strength, even Patriarch Hua Ye in his heyday may not be his opponent.

Even though he was in Daqian, he had heard of this man's evil reputation, so naturally he didn't dare to believe it.

"Young Master is willing to suppress the injury for our ancestor. I, Huangfu, am grateful." He raised his hand to Young Master, "What does Young Master need from me, Huangfu?"

"In the name of the Huangfu family, prepare several ships and a group of crew members. I am going to sea. In addition, let Hua Ye prepare. This time, there may be other guests."

The young master's tone was understatement, but Huangfu Jinhuan could hear murderous intent in it.

He felt a little chilled in his heart.

But what does this have to do with him?

He is just the head of a mere Celestial Family. It is difficult enough to manage his own family well. Who cares what the plans of the Yinsha Sect are?

"When everything is done, I will help you get rid of the Ping An Wang family." The young man in white said lightly, as if cleaning up the Ping An Wang family was simply cleaning up a nest of ants.

Huangfu Jinhuan's heart became hot. As long as the ancestor's injury could be suppressed, and if the young master took action, how could the Ping An Wang family be immortal?

He immediately handed over his hands and said: "Jinhuan will arrange for the young master to stay here first. I will make arrangements for the young master as soon as possible, and I will never delay the young master's important events."

…

There are all kinds of things happening in Changning Wei every day, but there are not many that can really be put into words and be remembered by people.

In the next period of time, there are only two major events in Changning Guard that people will remember.

The first one was that the city guard Xiahou Hongde's term had expired and he was transferred to a wealthy acropolis in the interior to take up his post. When his parents were about to leave, of course Wang Shouzhe went out to see them off in person.

However, Xiahou Hongde's term has come to an end, but the wine business between the two people will still be done, and their relationship will naturally be maintained.

Later, the newly arrived city guard, Wei Wenxun, also took office and came to Changning Guard.

Wang Shouzhe, as the representative of the eighth-grade family, naturally participated in the reception, but he did not rush to make acquaintance. Wei Wenxun is a newly promoted cultivator in the realm of heaven and human. He has not yet figured out his temperament and temperament, so he cannot flirt with him casually.

As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.

As soon as Wei Wenxun came to power, he began to rectify Changning Guard's public security, taxation, city defense, etc. So much so that most of the small forces in Changning Guard who were half-black and half-white were swept away by the autumn wind like falling leaves.

Then, he led the patrol battalion around the territory of each aristocratic family, and re-registered the people of each family's land and property, which made him look quite powerful.

It's a pity that this kind of power can only scare ordinary eighth- and ninth-grade families.

In private, Wang Shouzhe directly passed the order of disciples to his Zifu Academy, secretly glanced at Wei Wenxun, and nodded at the three younger sisters, all of whom were personally taught by Master Zifu.

In this way, Wei Wenxun immediately restrained his movements a lot, and the inspection work in Ping'an Town was hastily passed.

It's not that Wang Shouzhe doesn't want to pay taxes according to regulations, it's just that Wang's territory now has too many secret industries that he doesn't want to disclose to the outside world, as well as a lot of secret research.

If Wei Wenxun is allowed to investigate at will, wouldn't the Ping An Wang family be exposed?

The city guard's status is indeed very high, and he is a general used by the Daqian court to guard one side, but the powerful local tyrants are not vegetarians. Mutual checks and balances are the consistent way to get along.

After suppressing Wei Wenxun's momentum, Wang Shouzhe secretly visited the house in person and had a "friendly" chat with Wei Wenxun's friend, which "deepened" their feelings for each other.

besides.

The second major event was that the Beichen ancestor of the Xu family in Changning, after many years of seclusion, polished his cultivation and state of mind to a mellow state and then tried to break into the realm of heaven and man. He finally crossed the threshold and attracted the thunder of heaven, and in one fell swoop Breaking through the realm of heaven and man.

The successful promotion of Patriarch Beichen naturally gave a boost to the in-laws and allies. At the same time, it also suddenly changed the situation of Changning Guard, turning Changning Guard from a situation where two seventh-grade celestial families were competing against each other to a three-party situation. Checks and balances.

Although the current Changning Xu family cannot yet keep pace with the Lei family, their momentum has surpassed that of the declining Tianren Huangfu family.

Unless the Hua Ye ancestor of the Celestial Being Huangfu Clan recovers from his injuries and once again rules the Changning Guard, the Huangfu Clan's status will only deteriorate, just like what the Wang Clan experienced in those decades.

…

The outskirts of Changning Acropolis.

A luxurious carriage branded with the emblem of the Huangfu family slowly stopped outside a low-key manor. Then the curtain was opened, and Huangfu Jinhuan, the head of the Huangfu family in Changning, stepped out of the carriage with the support of his general.

"Master, the door of the manor has been called, and there should be a reply soon." The family general supported Huangfu Jinhuan to stand still and lowered his voice to report.

"Yeah. Let's wait and see~"

Huangfu Jinhuan nodded, then looked up at the manor in front of him.

This manor was once his favorite among the many manors. He bought it secretly and managed it carefully for many years. Although it looks unremarkable on the outside, it is quite luxurious and exquisite inside, and it is extremely comfortable to live in it. Over the years, many major decisions regarding the Huangfu family have been made here.

once.

For the sake of confidentiality, this manor is under the name of a wealthy businessman from out of town. Later, the manor was seized and confiscated by the city guard because of its unclear involvement with the Yin Sha Sect.

Later, Mrs. Ji, who had lived here for a while and liked the manor very much, took over the manor from the city guard and renamed it "Zhemei Garden".

But, why did Mrs. Ji choose such a weird name?

Huangfu Jinhuan was a little confused. He clearly remembered that there were no plum blossoms planted in this manor.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel waves and emotions in his heart.

Thinking back on how high-spirited the Heavenly Man Huangfu clan was at the beginning, how he could influence the situation of Changning Guard at every turn.

And he, Huangfu Jinhuan, is also a high-ranking figure who can easily point out the country and even decide the rise and fall of a low-class family.

But now, just a few years later, everything has been turned upside down.

Huangfu Jinhuan was only middle-aged, and he had already grown white hair on his temples, making him look haggard and old. This was all the result of his hard work and hard work over the years in trying to keep the Huangfu family.

"The head of the Huangfu family."

While he was thinking about it, a charming-looking maid of the second and third levels of the Qi Refining Realm came out of the "Plum Blossom Garden".

She bowed to Huangfu Jinhuan and said respectfully: "My wife said that she has been feeling a little unwell recently, and others are not prepared to see her. But since the head of the Huangfu family is here in person, for the sake of past friendship, she is willing to Meet the head of the family."

Huangfu Jinhuan also hurriedly returned the courtesy to the maid: "Thank you, girl."

Originally, given his status, he would not even take a second look at a maid of this level.

However, people under the eaves have to bow their heads. He asked for help everywhere, so naturally he didn't dare to be arrogant.

Under the leadership of the maid, Huangfu Jinhuan entered the manor. He saw plum blossoms in full bloom everywhere. This season is when the spring plum blossoms are in full bloom, which makes the manor overflowing with plum fragrance, making it extremely beautiful.

Mrs. Ji really loves plum blossoms and transplanted so many plum blossoms.

Huangfu Jinhuan consciously sensed Mrs. Ji's preferences, and couldn't help but secretly think that after this incident, he would have to find some rare varieties of plum blossoms to strengthen his relationship with Mrs. Ji.

In recent years, due to the continuous decline of the Huangfu family, more and more aristocratic families have suspended contact with the Huangfu family. Now, the only person who is still willing to provide some help to the Huangfu family, except for a limited number of in-law families, is Mrs. Ji.

For the sake of past friendship, she helped several times.

For a moment, Huangfu Jinhuan was secretly grateful to Mrs. Ji.

"Master Huangfu, we are here." At this time, the maid leading the way suddenly stopped and bowed to Huangfu Jinhuan, "Madam is waiting for you in front."

"Thank you for your hard work, girl."

Huangfu Jinhuan came to his senses, thanked her, and then walked forward.

In front is a stone pavilion covered with flowers.

It is located next to the small lake in the garden. It faces the water on one side and is ventilated on all sides. The beautiful flowers and trees cover everything in the pavilion. There is only a stone path winding in between the flowers and trees, which is quite charming. Hazy beauty.

After walking a dozen steps inside along the path, your eyes suddenly opened up.

The situation in the pavilion also came into Huangfu Jinhuan's eyes.

I saw a charming and beautiful woman in a purple gauze skirt sitting sideways on the edge of the pavilion. She was shaking her fan casually and throwing fish food into the lake, amusing the people in the lake. Schools of fish kept swimming around to grab food, looking very active.

This beautiful woman is naturally Mrs. Ji.

Seeing this scene, Huangfu Jinhuan couldn't help but feel emotional again. I think back then, these fish were fry that he released, and he often fed them like this.

Unfortunately, things have changed and these fish have nothing to do with him anymore.

Huangfu Jinhuan calmed down, put away the distracting thoughts in his heart, walked forward and cupped his hands and said, "Jinhuan has met Mrs. Ji."

"The head of the Jinhuan family is here."

Mrs. Ji withdrew her gaze and greeted Huangfu Jinhuan lazily.

The two of them sat across from each other in the pavilion. After a brief exchange of greetings, Mrs. Ji went straight to the topic: "Master Jinhuan, did you encounter any difficulties when you came here this time?"

Huangfu Jinhuan put down his tea cup and sighed slightly: "It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal when the time is right. In recent years, I, the Huangfu family, have experienced the harshness of the world. Over the years, only my wife has always helped secretly. Jinhuan is very grateful. All."

Even people like Huangfu Jinhuan can't help but feel sincere gratitude to Mrs. Ji.

"Master Jinhuan, you are so polite." Mrs. Ji shook her fan and chuckled, "At first, I wanted to join hands with your Huangfu family to make money. But fate played a trick on people, and it was the Changning Xu family who finally reached a cooperation. The Jinhuan family did not So if you blame me, what does it matter if I do a little favor? Just think of it as making up for the shortfall in love."

Huangfu Jinhuan sighed softly in his heart.

Back then, after the Huangfu family and the Xu family in Changning failed to compete for the weaving industry, Mrs. Ji quickly joined the other camp and made a lot of money using Ji's connections.

He also wanted to bear grudge against Mrs. Ji, but the Ji family had a great business and strong strength, so it was useless for him to hold a grudge in his heart. He had no choice but to hold his nose and continue to associate with Mrs. Ji.

Unexpectedly, this Mrs. Ji appears to be a delicate and prickly woman, but in fact she is very particular about kindness and loyalty.

Huangfu Jinhuan admired such a courageous woman.

In the future, when the Huangfu family recovers from the trough and returns to its heyday, he must find a way to repay Mrs. Ji Ichiban.

He cupped his hands and said, "I'm really not satisfied. Jin Huan came to bother Mrs. Ji this time, but actually I have something important to ask of you."

"Master Jinhuan, just tell me what you have to say." Mrs. Ji smiled coquettishly, "You also know my temperament and I don't like beating around the bush."

Huangfu Jinhuan immediately straightened his face and said with a serious expression: "I wonder if Mrs. Ji has ever heard that Zifu Academy has a unique spiritual treasure that can be consumed once, the 'Six-pole Yang Flame Pearl'."

"Six-pole Yang Flame Bead." Mrs. Ji frowned slightly, "Forgive me for my limited knowledge and lack of knowledge about this thing."

Huangfu Jinhuan looked around, and when he saw no one nearby, he lowered his voice and explained: "Madam is not interested in fighting and killing, which is reasonable. We, Zifu Academy, have always been competing with the Yinsha Sect for a long time. During the battle, some spiritual treasures specifically designed to restrain the Yin Sha Sect were also developed."

"This 'Six-pole Yang Flame Pearl' is a top-grade spiritual treasure specially used to deal with the strong men of the Yinsha Sect. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to refine this spiritual treasure. One is less than one, even in Zi Mansion. Only direct disciples in the academy are eligible to redeem."

Mrs. Ji's pretty eyebrows jumped slightly, and she couldn't help but look Huangfu Jinhuan up and down. There was a bit of doubt and confusion in her charming peach blossom eyes: "What does the Jinhuan family want with this 'Six-pole Yang Flame Pearl'? Could it be?" Are you planning to deal with people from the Yinsha Sect?”

"Madam, you don't know something." Huangfu Jinhuan shook his head with a heavy face, "Back then, the family branch colluded with the Yinsha Sect, which was deplorable and embarrassing, but also brought hidden dangers to the main family. I received the news, There are masters from the Yinsha Sect who want to take revenge on my Huangfu family, and now my ancestor is still injured, so I can only ask for a targeted spiritual treasure to add some protection to the family."

"Because this Lingbao is a one-time use, the internal valuation of Zifu Academy is around 200,000 gold. If Madam is willing to use her connections to obtain this object, our Huangfu family is willing to invest 300,000 gold to purchase it."

"The price difference of one hundred thousand..." Mrs. Ji narrowed her eyes slightly, "Since the Jinhuan family leader wants to protect himself, I can give it a try. However, I don't dare to guarantee that I can definitely get it."

"Whatever you want, madam." Huangfu Jinhuan stood up and held his hands, "In that case, Jinhuan won't bother you anymore. Please leave first."

After saying goodbye to each other, Huangfu Jinhuan hurriedly left the manor with his people.

He also has to rush to visit other in-law families. Zifu Academy had very strict control over the "Six-pole Yang Flame Pearl", and he was not very sure whether Mrs. Ji could obtain it. He would have to visit a few more places and make more preparations to be safer.

After they left, Mrs. Ji's eyes gradually became confused.

It is indeed the long-term plan of the family owner, just to catch this fish. I have invested so much in nesting bait over the years regardless of the cost, but I have finally seen some results.

Based on this merit, the head of the family will definitely reward me, right?

Hehehe~

Thinking of something interesting and proud, Mrs. Ji couldn't help but let out a series of charming and malicious laughter.
