Chapter 49: The Emperor’s Meal! Shouzhe's Set

…

In an instant, Wang Shouzhe's small courtyard became so busy that it was almost too crowded.

No time allowed.

Wang Shouzhe summoned a group of maids, who set up tables and chairs, and served Linggua, Lingguo, and Lingguo tea one by one, setting up a tea party in the courtyard.

These people are all his very important relatives.

Many of them gave Wang Shouzhe a lot of help when he was growing up. Wang Shouzhe himself is also a nostalgic person, and he will remember anyone who has helped him.

As for Wang Gui, who also came through the back door, he shrank into a corner with his great-great-grandson. There is no way, everyone present now is a big boss of Changning Wei. Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend~

"Ancestor Jie, look at your radiant face, you are improving very quickly." Wang Shouzhe entertained his elder Gongsun Jie warmly and respectfully, and made him a cup of tea with his own hands.

During the most difficult period of the Wang family, thanks to Patriarch Jian who came to help, the Wang family was able to tide over the difficulties. Wang Shouzhe will never forget this kindness.

"What the hell~ But Shouzhe, you have already walked in front of us old bones." Ancestor Jie looked at Wang Shouzhe and was filled with emotion.

He is a Xuanwu body practitioner, with strong qi and blood in his body and full of qi.

Thinking about it, Patriarch Jian was actually not bad in aptitude. His natural aptitude was almost close to that of a little genius. It was just that his family background was there, which delayed his future. It was later that the Shanyang Gongsun family and the Wang family started a business together and made a lot of money together, and then they found a way to help Ancestor Jie improve his bloodline.

Although Ancestor Jie himself is already at the Lingtai level, the effect of pills on improving his bloodline has been greatly reduced. With the help of the Wedding Clothes Blood Gu King, he still improved his qualifications to the level of the Prodigy.

Now over two hundred years old, he has been practicing diligently. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, and he has reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm.

Although he is a bit older, if there are sufficient resources in the future, and with the help of Shouzhe and Lixian to regulate the body and prolong life, the road to the Purple Mansion Realm will be smooth in the future.

After some greetings with relatives and friends, Wang Shouzhe said: "I understand that you want to find a good way out for the outstanding juniors in your family. This is human nature."

"However, this recruitment is for the entire Changning Guard area. I believe that with the strength of the outstanding juniors from each family, they can still fight for a place in the militia."

"Shou Zhe, we are not afraid of competing with others." Chen Fangjie, who has a double beard and is only slightly less handsome than Shouzhe, said, "What we are afraid of is competing with you Wang family. The younger generation of your Wang family is talented. There are just too many! If we don’t come, I’m afraid that the positions of those war camp commanders and captains will be divided up by the Changning Wang family.”

"That's right, if the younger generation of the Wang family comes out together, the Wang family can win at least twenty of the thirty-nine positions of commanders and deputy commanders of the thirteen battle camps." Lu Xiaoxiao said weakly, "We Those troublesome little guys at home, what are you going to fight about?"

As for the commander and the two deputy commanders of the battle camp, they had never thought about it... After all, the commander was the famous Wang Anye, and the deputy commanders were probably also very outstanding young people from the Wang family. They knew without thinking that they couldn't compete.

"It makes sense for you to say that." Wang Shouzhe then understood what they were worried about and couldn't help laughing, "After all, it is a militia group recruited for Changning. It is not good for our Wang family to be the only one. Let's do this, we Wang family will take Six plus six war camp commanders and deputy commanders. After all, the Wang family also needs outstanding talents in other places, and they cannot all go to the militia. All in-law families, including the Lei family, the Xu family, the Wang family, and everyone, compete for the six Plus six.”

"Save the remaining one plus one spots to see if there are any dark horses from other eighth- and ninth-grade families."

Wang Shouzhe told the story he was brewing in his heart.

In fact, the original intention of establishing this militia group was to reintegrate and unite the entire Changning Guard family and interests.

Common interests require common strength to bear and protect. Otherwise, why would Wang Shouzhe openly recruit troops? Wouldn't it be enough to directly select people from the Wang family's clan and generals?

"Cousin, it's a deal."

Lu Xiaoxiao, who is already a mature beauty, has bright eyes.

If the Wang family only takes six plus six leadership quotas, then she is quite confident in her great-nephew.

After all, Wang Shouzhe's biological mother is named Lu Mengxue, and half of Wang Shouzhe's body is from the Lu family. Therefore, during these hundreds of years, Wang Shouzhe took great care of the Lu family.

Nowadays, the Lu family has no shortage of cultivators in the heaven and human realm. There are several Tianjiao among the younger generation, but they are still young and have not yet grown up.

Lu Xiaoxiao also had a good opportunity. She would often accumulate a lot of formation problems to rub against Wang Anye's master Ji Wuchen, which made her become more advanced in formation master's attainments.

With her title as the Mage of the Second Formation of Nanliuwei, she has also made a lot of money over the years. Even the small spirit gathering formations and the central spirit gathering formations in many of the Wang family's spiritual fields were contracted by her and her clan members.

During the period of large-scale development outside the territory, she often made meritorious deeds because of her formation skills, and got many small opportunities.

Then, relying on her years of savings, she entrusted Baibao Pavilion to buy a seventh-grade [Tianmai Holy Pill] from the Immortal Dynasty. With the help of Shouzhe, she digested the potency and reluctantly entered the ranks of the Great Tianjiao Ding and others. .

Although she is only about 160 years old now, her cultivation level has already equaled that of Ancestor Jian, and she is very likely to be promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm faster than Ancestor Jian.

"Smile, when did my cousin lie to you?" Wang Shouzhe teased her with a smile, "But if you are willing to join the militia, our Wang family can give up a place as deputy leader."

"Can I do it too?" Lu Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "Isn't it said that young people can do it?"

"You, you have stayed in a small place like Changningwei for a long time, and you have been called Xiaoxiao Ancestor at home for too long." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said with a smile, "You are not one hundred and sixty years old yet? Are you like this? A genius who is one or two hundred years old calls himself a 'girl' in either the Immortal or Demonic Dynasty..."

Thinking about it, it's true. Once a genius breaks through to the realm of supernatural power, his life span will be two thousand years. What's the difference between a mere one or two hundred years old and a young girl?

Not to mention others, you can tell just by looking at Luo Qiu and Luo Jing. The two girls were only two years younger than Lu Xiaoxiao, but their temperament was completely girlish. They looked like they were two generations apart from Lu Xiaoxiao.

However, Lu Xiaoxiao, as the first person in the Lu family's heaven-human realm, carries the pressure of the entire clan on her shoulders, and the burden is relatively heavy. As time goes by, her mentality will naturally become much more mature than those "girls".

"That's good." Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and then said, "I am indeed a little tired from supporting the Lu family these years. Anyway, the Lu family has almost ten Heavenly and Human realms now, and there will be more in the future. many."

"But give way, Xiaoxiao, you still have to find a way to pass the qualification test." Wang Shouzhe said seriously and solemnly, "After all, our battle group will be on the battlefield in the future, even on the battlefield outside the territory. When it comes, it will be Be prepared to fight tooth and nail, don’t be a fool.”

The battlefield outside the territory has always been dominated by a group of big guys and powerful forces in the human race.

Both the royal family and the Holy Land have made great contributions on the battlefields outside the territory. Although Wang Shouzhe often muttered that there were problems with Emperor Longchang's national policy, he had to admit that the military system he created greatly improved the military force of Daqian, not only when facing the Southern Qin and Western Jin Dynasties. It has great advantages and has made many contributions on the battlefield outside the region.

Nowadays, the Wang family is only a fifth-grade family, and the strongest one in the family is in the Zifu realm, so the pressure has not yet come to them.

But in the future, if the Wang family continues to grow stronger, sooner or later it will become a very important force among mankind, and sooner or later Wang Shouzhe will become a real boss.

At that time, as a member of humankind, we cannot escape the responsibilities we bear.

Wang Shouzhe didn't plan to escape either.

"Well, I will definitely not embarrass my cousin, and I will pass the assessment." Lu Xiaoxiao said seriously, "As for the foreign battlefield, I am not afraid. With my cousin strategizing behind the scenes, it is not me who should be afraid. "

"Shouzhe, do you think I can be a deputy leader?" Chen Fangjie also said with interest.

"No." Wang Shouzhe flatly refused, "Just run the Chen family at home. A lot of people are pointing at you."

Wang Shouzhe didn't dare to let him go to the army, otherwise, how could his sister Luoyi spare him?

"Everyone, I have given up the quota." Wang Shouzhe said again, "Since everyone has enjoyed the quota, in addition to contributing, we must also contribute money and resources. Xue'er, let me show you the preparation budget of the militia group. My king The family will pay half, and the other families will share half."

"Yes, head of the family."

After hearing the news, the image of the family spirit Xueer emerged, and a detailed budget was given.

After a while.

There was mourning in Wang Shouzhe's small courtyard.

"Shou Zhe, your budget is too much, isn't it? In the future, every pawn in the militia will be equipped with a medium-grade magic weapon as standard, and two items for attack and defense? This will cost millions of gold per person, right? Just this one It will cost billions of dollars, right?"

Wang Shouzhe said calmly: "It's not like we have to put it all together in one day. We will use spiritual weapons to make ends meet in the early stage. Our goal is not high, and we plan to initially complete the basic configuration of the militia within 150 years. Each of your families can only spend a few hundred million If you spread the dry gold over a hundred and fifty years, it won't be much each year, so just save it slowly."

"Shou Zhe, there are so many blood-tempering pills, marrow-cleansing pills, and Wuji treasure pills, the total value must be more than two billion, right? This does not include the heavenly vein holy pills and bloodline elixirs in your purchase plan! We are big It’s simply impossible to gather so many now!”

Wang Shouzhe continued calmly: "I have entrusted the disciples of the Xuandan lineage in the Holy Land to search for the Immortal Dynasty. The Xuandan lineage in the Holy Land and our Wang's Alchemy Department will also solve a small part. Not to mention the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Wuji Bao Pills, even Heavenly Meridian Holy Pills, are only a one-time consumption, and the bulk of future consumption will still be in daily cultivation expenses."

"These Wedding Clothes Blood Gu, Wedding Clothes Blood Gu King, etc., don't they belong to your Wang family? Why should they be converted into dry gold and amortized on everyone? This amortization is billions..."

Wang Shouzhe said: "The militia does not belong to my Wang family. Didn't my Wang family also amortize 50%? It's okay. Let's amortize it for each other and pay it in installments over a hundred years. It will be converted to every year and it will be returned to us." Wang’s doesn’t have much.”

"These magic weapons, magical spiritual treasures and Taoist legion flags all belong to the Wang family, right? Why do we need to rent them?"

Wang Shouzhe said matter-of-factly: "That is the private property of my Wang family. If it is rented out, it will be very expensive... Since it is our army, how can there be any reason to contribute it to the army for free?"

"Shouzhe, I understand." Liu Yuanhui said with a plaintive expression, "I think you just knew you couldn't afford to support this militia group, so you came up with the plan to let everyone share the expenses. You deliberately set out the bait to lure us in. On."

"Brother, the common interests of Guardian Chang Ningwei and the family are not the business of my Wang family." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Besides, our battle group has a large investment, but once the battle group is formed, the later benefits will also be Big brother. If you want to withdraw on behalf of the Liu family, I have no objection. Our Wang family will just take your share of the Liu family."

"Don't even think about it!" Liu Yuanhui gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "If our Liu family misses such a huge plan, I, Liu Yuanhui, will become the sinner of the Liu family. Isn't it just investment? We, the Liu family, can still squeeze in even though we grit our teeth. from."

Building an army is extremely expensive.

What's more, the militia regiment established by Wang Shouzhe is a top-notch regiment that even Emperor Longchang only dared to dream about. Once it is completely formed, when it sweeps across the battlefield, it may even have to avoid the lone True Fairyland when it encounters it.

Therefore, although it is so expensive that even wealthy in-law alliances are crying, no one will withdraw.

As for Wang Gui, he was speechless after hearing all this. He didn't dare to let Wang Shouzhe go through the back door again, and decided to take his great-grandson Speed ​​to participate in the assessment.

And Wang Shouzhe didn't come here in vain. He got some spirit beast meat and spirit stones, as well as some low-grade elixirs and gave them to Wang Gui, which was a kind of disguised support.

So and so.

The assessment of the militia regiment is going on vigorously, screening talents one after another.

But Wang Shouzhe has entered into a state of daily leisure, practicing every day, planting flowers, and tossing with plant seeds.

In recent days.

Wang Ningxi, who had just become a master, and Master Tianhuo from the Holy Land, often discussed martial arts issues in Wang Shouzhe's small courtyard.

Because Wang Ningxi's skills have both water and fire elements, Master Tianhe and Master Tianlang who came to visit the Wang family, as well as Master Yuanshui, the contemporary vice president of Longzuo Zifu Academy, were all invited to give Wang Ningxi guidance.

Wang Shouzhe, on the other hand, continued to study his new grain varieties in the "River and Mountains Map".

"Ning Xi, my beloved disciple." Tianhuo Zhenren, who has a cheerful personality, is smiling from ear to ear these days.

He was originally depressed because he devoted himself to the battle for the Holy Son and failed, so he came to Wang's to relax and work part-time to make some money to make up for his previous losses.

But he didn't expect to meet a peerless genius like Wang Ningxi.

After a lot of hard work, he finally got his favorite apprentice. After only a few days of teaching, he discovered that Wang Ningxi not only had unparalleled blood and qualifications, but also had extraordinary wisdom.

"Master." Wang Ningxi was drawing a complicated schematic diagram of meridians, "My idea is this. Through the buffering of these two meridians and acupuncture points, the two profound energies of water and fire will be gradually integrated..."

After a while.

Master Tianlang, Master Tianhe and others all looked at Wang Ningxi with strange eyes. This boy's deduction ability is really terrible. However, only someone with tenacity in meridians and sea of ​​qi like him can practice this [Cold Flame Art]. It would be difficult for anyone else, even if they have the same bloodline, to practice.

Ning Xi, this kid, has endless potential.

That old boy Tianhuo was really lucky and found the treasure.

"My disciple Ning Xi has the appearance of a great emperor." Master Tianhuo said with excitement the more he looked at Wang Ningxi, the more he liked him. Taking another look at the "former beloved disciple" Zhen Shicong who was following him next to him, he didn't like it.

"The follow-up of this [Cold Flame Art] is how to solve the problem from Lingtai Realm to Heavenly Realm." Wang Ningxi began to enumerate the problems encountered one by one.

And the big guys present were indeed not vegetarians. They were all well-informed and began to help solve various problems.

Soon, Wang Ningxi's embarrassing problems were eliminated one by one.

Until the last big problem, everyone couldn't find a solution even after thinking hard.

Just in time.

Liu Ruolan led several maids over. The plates they held contained afternoon snacks made by Ruolan herself. These are made from flour made from a kind of holy spiritual wheat called [Purple Jade Holy Spirit Wheat], and are served with a variety of dried spiritual melons and Ruolan's secret sauce.

As the wife of the Wang family, Liu Ruolan gave all the distinguished guests a warm welcome: "Seniors of the Holy Land, these are my Shouzhe's favorite purple jade thousand-layer cake. Let's take a break and demonstrate the techniques. But there’s no rush.”

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed and they laughed dryly: "Why should Ruo Lan do it himself? Just let the cook do this kind of work."

"How can this be done? All of you, seniors, are distinguished guests." Liu Ruolan said seriously, "As a wife of the Wang family, Ruolan only shows respect by cooking by herself."

Then.

All the bosses were eating purple jade thousand-feuille cake made with high-quality ingredients. They all wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. They laughed because the ingredients were so rare and precious, but they cried because the taste was so indescribable...

I heard that Wang Shouzhe also loves to eat, but I wonder why that boy's taste is so unique?

"Ning Xi, why don't you eat?" Liu Ruolan asked with concern.

"Grandma, the quality of this ingredient is too high. Even if I take one bite, I'm afraid my blood will be too strong to hold it together." Wang Ningxi looked like she was thinking hard, "Besides, I can't figure out the last problem, and I have no appetite."

"Here, let Grandma take a look." Liu Ruolan stepped forward and took a look, and suddenly she said with happiness, "This is simple, just do this, this, and that..."

Wang Ningxi's eyes widened: "Sure enough, all it takes is this, this, and that...Thank you, grandma, for this way, my path to cultivating to the realm of heaven and humanity is completely smooth."

Master Tianhuo and the big guys who were not familiar with Liu Ruolan's ears looked at this scene in surprise. Is this okay? Who is this Liu Ruolan, who can actually point out key nodes at a glance?

"Now that it's unblocked, let's take a bite." Liu Ruolan personally broke off a piece and gave it to him. "Your meridians and Qi sea are quite strong. One bite can't sustain you. You are still in school, so you need to take more supplements."

"Grandma, I have graduated from higher studies in ethnic studies and am still number one. I am planning to go to the graduate school to stay for a while in the future." Wang Ningxi controlled her expression while eating purple jade thousand-layer cake.

"Look at your grandma's memory." Liu Ruolan slapped her plump forehead and said, "It would be a mess if there were too many descendants... We have dozens of Nings in our family, right? Yes, yes, I Remember you have graduated. First place, not bad, not bad, eat more cake."

Wang Ningxi complained in her heart, I am your great-great-grandson, your great-great-grandson.

It was also at this time.

Emperor Longchang pulled Jiang Zhencang over and ran over. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he started shouting: "Ruolan, where is Shouzhe? Are you hiding in his small space again?"

"Let me tell you, I have made meritorious deeds during this period. I am helping to control Anye's recruitment process and testing plans for the army."

While expressing his merit, Emperor Longchang picked up the purple jade thousand-layer cake and ate it. While eating, he praised: "Ruolan's craftsmanship is still as good as ever. By the way, I am in a good mood today. How about we eat it tonight?" Let’s eat some fairy rice?”

He is worthy of being an emperor.

As long as the ingredients are good enough, he doesn't care about the taste at all.

This was holy grade spiritual wheat. When he became the emperor, he couldn't bear to eat more of it, so he used all the produce to exchange for things.

As for eating fairy rice, I would naturally eat it whenever I could. I would come here for a walk every day before meal time, and then leave after eating. This kind of casual meal does not require him to spend extra pension money.

"I've met your Majesty, I've met the Holy Lord." All the Holy Land magical power realms and juniors saluted respectfully.

"No gift, no gift." Emperor Longchang waved his hand kindly, and suddenly saw the people from Yuanshui were there, and immediately said with a smile, "Yuanshui is here too, congratulations. Holy Master Jiang was still communicating with me just now. Since Li Yao will stay in the Holy Land permanently, so the position of acting dean will be left to you."

"This..." The people in Yuanshui were caught off guard.

Immediately, Jiang Zhencang also nodded and said: "Yes, Yuanshui. This is Li Yao's request. You must run the Longzuo Zifu Academy well in the future. As for the lack of blood, the Holy Land and the Saintess Li Yao will help you." Think of a way."

"This is an opportunity. You should seize it and become a full-time official after you achieve the magical power realm in the future."

"Thank you so much, Lord Jiang..." The man in Yuanshui didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He thought that Li Yao was still his designated disciple.

As a result, the apprentice turned into a junior sister accidentally.

Not to mention, the junior sister suddenly became a boss, and another moment she accidentally turned into a saint... In the future, she will also become the Lord of the Holy Land!

Now, the care from the junior sister has arrived all of a sudden, and the junior sister actually wants to promote him.

The ups and downs of life are so exciting.

…
