MTL - Protect Our Patriarch-v7 Chapter 23 In your eyes is the co-author Taoist the enemy?
…
Tianrui Holy Pilgrimage City, Imperial Palace.
This imperial palace with a history of tens of thousands of years is full of majesty and majesty.
Tianrui Shenghuang was in a good mood, and it was rare for him to be able to enjoy all kinds of exotic flowers and the scenery flickering with spiritual light leisurely in the imperial garden.
Behind him, besides an old eunuch, was the commander of the guards, Lan Wanghai, and a group of young royals with outstanding demeanor.
These are the best among the young people of the Tianrui royal family. Although they are no longer able to compete with the Queen Dowager Qingyang, the huge royal family cannot be supported by only one Holy Emperor, they must have a steady stream of talented pillars to assist the Holy Emperor.
Today, Tianrui Shenghuang taught a group of young heroes, and the results were quite satisfactory.
He already has a plan to cultivate more powerful true immortals among the young people of this generation. In the future, they can become true immortals in the middle and late stages, so as to assist the next holy emperor to expand the territory and strengthen the foundation of the Tianrui holy dynasty.
In the past six or seven hundred years, the trade between Tianrui Sacred Dynasty and Shenwu World has gradually become closer, and various industries have become more vigorous because of this, and gradually began to flourish. A thriving scene.
The active growth of the economy has also increased the tax revenue of the Tianrui Holy Dynasty year after year, and the profits of various industries of the royal family have also been rising steadily. The resources of the treasury and the royal family treasury are also increasing.
This man, more money will naturally breed some ambitions.
In Tianrui Sacred Emperor's plan, he plans to train more younger generations of royal elites first. If he continues to thrive in the future, he will save more money to see if there is a chance to add another holy map inheritance.
At worst, one or two more sacred artifacts should be added to the royal family, and more powerful real immortals in the middle and late stages.
"Wanghai." In a good mood, Tianrui Sacred Emperor was full of energy, and he said to Lan Wanghai, the commander of the imperial army, "I heard that Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe of the Shenwuwang family, brought his wife to visit our Tianrui Sacred Dynasty?"
When Wang Shouzhe was mentioned, Tianrui Shenghuang's expression became a little complicated.
Thinking back then, that kid stirred up a huge situation and deceived him so badly that even Qingyang almost fell into it.
Fortunately, in the subsequent cooperation, Tianrui Shengchao made a lot of money, which made Tianrui Shenghuang naturally choose to forgive him. "Report to Your Majesty." Lan Wanghai said with a smile, "I heard that Patriarch Shouzhe has already moved into their Guiyuan courtyard."
"Send a gift for the emperor." Tianrui Shenghuang pondered slightly, "Just say that the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace some day and invite the couple as guests, and I hope they will show respect."
Wang Shouzhe's talent is extremely outstanding, coupled with the increasingly close trade between the two sides, the interest entanglement is getting deeper and deeper, in the future, if the Tianrui Holy Dynasty wants to develop, it may have to rely on the world of martial arts.
Now the person who really has the decision-making power in the Shenwu Shengmeng is a man named "Wang Fugui", who is the direct descendant of Wang Shouzhe and his wife. From this point, it can be deduced that the real decision-maker behind the increasingly powerful Shenwu Shengmeng is probably the unfathomable Wang Shouzhe.
Wang Baosheng and Wang Baoguang, who presided over the plan to save Ying Lingzhu some time ago, are also descendants of Wang Shouzhe. That guy, not only is he powerful, but also outstanding talents emerge in endlessly from his descendants~~
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Wanghai smiled again, "However, I heard that after hearing the news, the Qingyang Empress Dowager has already rushed to Guiyuan Courtyard."
Tianrui Shenghuang laughed dumbfoundedly.
This girl reacted faster than him.
However, apart from laughing, he was also a little worried. Could it be that Qingyang really fell into it?
It's a pity that it's useless for him to worry about it. After much deliberation, Tianrui Shenghuang finally gave up his plan to intervene. Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Tianrui Shenghuang shook his head and turned to other things.
During this period of time, there were really many happy events worthy of celebration in the Tianrui Holy Dynasty.
The biggest happy event was that Emperor Cangping personally awarded him and Si Shi for winning Lingzhu, and paid attention to Tianruisheng
North Korea's development status.
At the same time, Dongxia Ying's family sent a special message to express their gratitude, saying that they would send important clansmen to visit the door in person to thank them for their help.
In this wave, the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty has slapped the face in front of the Emperor Cangping and the Ying family of the ancient saint clan, and won a lot of goodwill and formed a good relationship.
This is a very good start. With this start, people who come and go often in the future, and deepen the connection, won't there be contacts? This is a relationship that I couldn't even reach before~
This made Tianrui Shenghuang naturally full of ambition, and even more hopeful for the future in his heart. Just when Tianrui Shenghuang was in high spirits.
Suddenly, the forbidden army came to report that two distinguished guests had secretly arrived outside the palace and handed greeting cards to His Majesty the Holy Emperor. VIP?
Tianrui Shenghuang couldn't think of who would come to him in such a mysterious way for a while, so he opened the greeting card and took a look in wonder. In an instant, the smile on his face gradually froze, and a trace of fear and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.
After ten or so breaths, he said with a sullen face: "Wang Hai, please go to my study." "Yes, Your Majesty."
Lan Wanghai didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask further questions, so he could only cautiously take orders and retreat. After half an hour.
The two old men were respectfully invited to the imperial study of Tianrui Shenghuang. Tianrui Shenghuang personally greeted him at the door of the study with a smile on his face and enthusiasm.
"The Ji family and the Jiang family are two distinguished guests who have come to my little Tianrui Holy Dynasty. The little emperor has lost his way and welcomes you. Please forgive me." That's right, the greeting post he received just now was from Ji, Jiang Ershi.
The two old men in front of them were dressed very low-key, and their aura was extremely restrained, but it was difficult to hide their awe-inspiring and powerful aura.
Although it was the first time Tianrui Shenghuang saw them, he recognized their identities at a glance.
These two people are Da Luo Realm monks like him, and they are much stronger than him in terms of background and reputation, so he dare not neglect them.
"Your Majesty Tianrui." One of the old men arched his hands at him, straight to the point, "The two of us came to Guibao Land to check the conflict between Ji Kunlun, the grandson of my direct descendant, and Ying Lingzhu from the Ying family. and the details."
He called "Your Majesty" in his mouth, but whether it was his expression or his tone of voice, there was a condescending taste, as if he didn't take Tianrui Shenghuang seriously at all.
The old man's surname is "Ji", and he is one of the Da Luo Shengzun of Pingtian Shenwang Palace, Ji Jiuxiao, known as "Jiuxiao Shengzun", and is also the ancestor of Ji Kunlun.
His hair has turned gray, and his face is a bit old, but his complexion is still rosy, his facial features are well-defined, and he vaguely resembles Ji Kunlun. It can be seen that he should be a handsome guy when he was young. His aura is also very majestic and domineering, obviously his strength has not regressed.
Tianrui Shenghuang's smile was a bit stiff: "Brother Jiuxiao, the little emperor just received a tip-off that some villains had colluded with the Great Nirvana Temple in Xiruo Shenzhou, which would be detrimental to the succession of the Taoist Palace. I really never thought that it would be Ji Young Master Kunlun, if he finds out about this again, Xiaohuang will not want to step into this muddy water."
"Your Majesty Tianrui." Another old man seemed to have guessed what he would say, and said with a cold face, "This is the end of the matter, and we have no intention of causing trouble for you Tianrui Dynasty. My grandchildren don't know The sky is high and the earth is thick, and we will not disobey the emperor's will and continue to defend him if we do such a thing that angers the sky and people complain."
The old man's surname is "Jiang", and he is one of the saints of the Jiang family of Luojing's ancient saint clan - Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo.
Compared with Ji Jiuxiao, Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo was thinner and had a colder and more arrogant expression, as if someone owed him hundreds of chaotic spirit stones.
Compared with the Nine Heavens Holy Venerable, this Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo's status is even more respected. There is no one else, because this one is not only a sage in the Great Luo Realm, but also a top alchemist.
In the entire area of the Dongxia Dynasty, there are less than two alchemists at the holy level, and he is one of them.
Probably because he is used to being praised by others, Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo has always had a bad temper, he is more likely to get angry and hold grudges more.
"Since that's the case, Brother Dan and Brother Jiuxiao, why did you come to my little frontier pilgrimage?"
Rui Shenghuang looked a little dignified.
"According to what we know, Ji Kunlun is indeed to blame for that evil beast." Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo said coldly, "But the so-called Shenwu Wang family clearly planned to frame Ji Kunlun secretly, and did not put Ji and the family in the slightest. Jiang Shi put it in his eyes."
"You two mean that you want to seek revenge from the Shenwu Wang family?" Tianrui Shenghuang narrowed his eyes, and the expression in his eyes became even more serious unconsciously.
"Revenge is out of the question." Holy Venerable Nine Heavens sneered, "Then Shenwu Wang is always on the side of 'justice', how can we be so indiscriminate? However, we heard that Ji Kunlun, that **** beast, originally planned to do some business. "
"Aside from what that beast did, both our Ji family and the Jiang family feel that his plan is interesting, and our two families are willing to complete the plan that has been stranded, so as to add more heritage to our two families."
Tianrui Shenghuang's expression froze.
He could probably guess that Ji Kunlun's previous plan was indeed beneficial to the Ji family, the Jiang family, and even the Tianxing Dynasty. But the point is, it's not good for Tianrui~
If the two ancient sage clans join forces and really forcibly obtain the so-called "proxy power" from Wang's hands, they will definitely jam the necks of the Tianrui imperial family and Si's intentionally or unintentionally in the future!
"Gentlemen are grievances, business is business." Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo said with a sneer, "Your Majesty Tianrui, you won't object to our business, right?"
The Holy Emperor Tianrui was speechless for a while.
You speak righteously, but in fact, are you taking revenge on the Wang family by oppressing others? Want to grab Wang's neck? For a moment, Tianrui Shenghuang's face was extremely heavy: "If that's the case, what do you two want Xiao Huang to do?"
"Naturally, it is to cut off the cooperation with Shenwu World." Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo looked at him condescendingly, "Only if all the important partners of Shenwu World in the sanctuary cut off cooperation with them, they will obediently hand over the agency rights."
Tianrui Shenghuang's face turned black.
Do you dare to say that you are not using power to oppress others and revenge? If he couldn't beat them, maybe he would shoot up and beat them out now.
"Your Majesty Tianrui, be safe and don't be impatient." The Holy Lord Jiuxiao obviously also saw the displeasure of the Holy Emperor Tianrui, and began to be a good guy, "Don't worry, as long as you follow our requirements, we will never let you suffer Your Majesty Tianrui, you should know that our Ji family has always been in charge of the forging of the weapons and equipment of the army of the gods, and the Jiang family is in charge of the refining of military supplies. If you relax a little at that time, you will make a lot of money I earned a lot."
For a long time, because the weapons and equipment of the Dongxia Dynasty were higher in quality and standard than those of the surrounding dynasties, many dynasties would choose to import weapons, equipment and elixirs from the Dongxia Dynasty.
Not to mention other armies, most of the weapons and equipment used by the most core and elite ace troops are imported from the Dongxia Dynasty.
The same is true of Tianrui Holy Dynasty.
Tianrui Shenghuang knew in his heart that if he agreed to help the tiger, he would naturally get high-quality weapons and equipment from the army, as well as priority discounted supply of military pills, but if he didn't agree, I'm afraid...
His Tianrui army wanted to buy high-quality military weapons and bulk discounted pills from Shenchao in the future, but he didn't even leave a crack in the door.
If that's all, Rui Shenghuang can overcome it that day.
The big deal is to get military equipment through other channels, even if the quality is poorer and the price is more expensive, the same can be done for medicine pills, and a small amount of high-priced purchases can add up to a lot.
but!
He also knew in his heart that Ji's and Jiang's punishment for disobedients would never be so simple.
First, he was afraid that these two families would issue a resource blocking order to Tianrui Shengchao, and no one would dare to sell things to Tianrui Shengchao in bulk.
Secondly, he was also afraid that they would supply a large amount of cheap weapons and elixir to the hostile forces Tianxing Holy Dynasty.
Once the situation of ebb and flow between Tianrui Sacred Dynasty and Tianxing Sacred Dynasty is formed, it may be fine in a short period of time, but as time goes by, the future situation of Tianrui Sacred Dynasty will definitely become more and more difficult, maybe will be in a precarious situation.
The Holy Emperor Tianrui was unwilling to give in, and his mind was spinning quickly.
He thought of countless countermeasures, including reporting to Emperor Cangping, and even
Yu asked the ancient sage clan Ying for help. But it doesn't help.
The Ji family is already a giant in the field of military and military affairs, and the Jiang family is already a giant in the field of elixir raw materials and alchemy, with absolute authority.
They would not blatantly deal with Tianrui Sacred Dynasty, but their power has reached their level, they only need to secretly slander and delay, and they can also use hints to block Tianrui.
To put it bluntly, Tianrui Shenghuang couldn't even produce substantive evidence for the report.
Although the Ying family is also an ancient saint clan with a strong foundation and strength, they cannot compare with the Ji family and the Jiang family in these two fields. Moreover, its comprehensive strength is only about the same as that of the Jiang family, but still far inferior to that of the Ji family.
Tianrui Shenghuang was full of unwillingness.
The Tianrui Holy Dynasty has finally ushered in a prosperous situation, is it going to be ruined like this? Apart from being banned, or working as a minion, does he really have no other choice?
"Your Majesty Tianrui, there is no need to rush to make a decision." The Holy Lord Jiuxiao seemed to be pleased by the expression of the Holy Emperor Tianrui, and said with a smile, "Actually, coming to your Tianrui pilgrimage is already the last second stop of our trip. We It just so happens that I heard that Wang Shouzhe of the Shenwu Wang Clan is visiting your Tianrui Holy Dynasty. Why don’t you make a decision after we visit him.”
When Tianrui Shenghuang heard this, he became anxious. This is the rhythm of big events~~
He must procrastinate for some time, and he must notify that brat Wang Shouzhe in advance, telling him to run away and return to the world of martial arts to avoid the limelight.
He immediately burst out laughing: "You two saints, how can I be so indiscriminate in my small country court? Thanks to the two of you, I want to cooperate with my Tianrui court. How about it, let's talk about the conditions .Our Tianrui is expanding its army recently, and we are short of military equipment and batches of pills~"
The two saints did not expect that Tianrui Shenghuang would fall so fast this day, and they were more vulnerable than the other masters of the holy dynasty who cooperated with Shenwu World.
They looked at each other and decided to take down Tianrui Shenghuang first, so as to have more capital to oppress Wang Shouzhe.
"Your Majesty Tianrui, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes." Pill Sage Jiang Lihuo laughed with satisfaction, "As long as you are willing to stand by our side, you don't have to worry too much about military pills. Let our two clans loose their fingers a little bit." It’s enough to fill you up.”
"That's that." Tianrui Shenghuang smiled flatteringly, "Come here, prepare me holy wine and holy food, I want to have a good talk with two distinguished guests."
After finishing speaking, before they refused, he complained bitterly: "Don't blame me, the two saints. In fact, that time I was tricked by that stinky boy named Wang Baosheng of the Wang family, who tricked me into cleaning up The girl is a sycophant, but in the end... ouch, when facing the enemies of the Great Nirvana Temple, Xiao Huang had to act again."
"I'm also extremely regretful, I really wish I could peel that Wang Baosheng's skin."
His expression was "obviously" a little guilty, as if he was trying his best to get rid of the blame and please the two great figures of the ancient saint clan.
Now that the two holy venerables are collaborating and dismantling the Wang family's business system, they naturally showed a friendly and comforting attitude when they saw the Tianrui sage emperor, and agreed to have dinner together to increase their relationship and talk about cooperation.
They were also afraid that they would make Tianrui Shenghuang anxious, but instead they followed Shenwu Wang's with determination.
As for how to deal with Tianrui Shenghuang and Si's patriarch after the matter is completed, that is another story. for a while,
The palace was very lively, Tianrui Shenghuang took out the best holy wine and rice, as well as various delicacies, and entertained the distinguished guests with all his strength.
******at the same time.
Guiyuan Bieyuan is also very lively.
On the waterfront platform, the sun is just right, and the sound of "crackling" playing cards can be heard endlessly.
"Qi Tiao, touch!" The Empress Dowager Qingyang, who was dressed in green makeup and looked heroic, called Peng, and threw another card with her backhand, "Nine Tiao."
She was very happy.
After playing nine cards, I have already listened to the cards, and the next step is to wait for self-drawing~
However, just when Yao Yumei, who was sitting down, was about to grab a card, Wang Shouzhe's voice suddenly rang out: "Ouch!"
Yumei, you've been fooling yourself by hanging nine bars alone~"
"Yeah? I'm going crazy now?" Yao Yumei obviously didn't realize this at all. After being reminded by Wang Shouzhe, she checked her cards in surprise, "According to the rules, it really is wrong. give money~"
The Empress Dowager Qingyang's expression immediately became resentful.
Reluctantly, she counted a bunch of top-quality spirit stones and went out, then gave Wang Shouzhe a hard look: "Wang Shouzhe, you were born to oppose me, right?"
"Didn't I see that Yumei didn't understand much, so I just mentioned something casually~" Wang Shouzhe took a sip of tea with a smile in his hand, as if he really didn't mean it just now.
"You are a real gentleman when you look at the cards and don't speak." The Sister of the Water Moon who sat on the other side of the table complained dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you help me look at the cards? I am also a novice."
You are a new fart~ You have played mahjong countless times in the world of Shenwu, and you are considered an old fritter. Wang Shouzhe cast a contemptuous look at her.
"Sister Ruolan, let me tell you." The Sister Shuiyue curled her lips and began to sow discord, "Wang Shouzhe just liked our Yumei. I heard that the two of them went to listen to Yuxuan for dinner~ Yes, It's the place where Wang Baosheng went on a blind date. That place... tsk tsk, beautiful and romantic, it's the most suitable for private meetings between men and women."
Wang Shouzhe stared at him.
To dismantle his platform in front of him, really didn't take him seriously, right? When you turn back, you will be deducted from your offering salary.
"And this?" Liu Ruolan rubbed her cards with a smile, "However, this also reflects the charm of our husband. One of you said one, who wants to marry my husband as the second or third wife?" , I welcome with my hands up. In this way, everyone will be able to play cards together every day in the future.”
Wang Shouzhe was a little numb. This broken place doesn't matter.
He immediately put down the teacup, stood up as if nothing had happened, and said, "Mu Xian, you are so good at serving Grandma Ruolan, I'll go out and relax."
"Don't go." Liu Ruolan glanced at him with a smile, "Sister Qingyang and Sister Yumei don't understand much, you have to read some cards for them. Don't say that I cheated newbies and spread the word damage my reputation."
OK~
Wang Shouzhe sat back helplessly, and resumed the work of serving tea, handing water, and peeling fruits. By the way, he helped Qingyang and Yao Yumei palm their eyes and pointed out signs from time to time.
A group of women played mahjong together, so it was inevitable to chat about all kinds of gossip.
After getting acquainted with each other, the Empress Dowager Qingyang's expression became more and more relaxed, and she chatted casually: "Have you watched the latest issue of "The Truth"? , at the price of a projected war loss, severely wounded the Great Commander of Extermination, killed five demon lords, dozens of demon gods, and destroyed an important logistics base of the demon clan. It is really an extraordinary feat!"
While speaking, her eyes unconsciously showed worship and admiration.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Liu Ruolan's expression changed. "Clang!"
Liu Ruolan's Yuanshui holy sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the dense sword intent instantly spread on the waterside platform.
"The old dog Cangping is so shameless. It is my family Yingxuan and Lici who are leading the overall situation. He actually took all the achievements of the war on himself!" She sneered, her breath surging, and she wanted to chop Cangping God Emperor's expression, "Old Cai!"
"Old money is here."
When Cai Youdao heard the call, he hurried in and saluted Liu Ruolan respectfully, but his face was full of bitterness: "Grandma Ruolan, Emperor Cangping is too powerful, I can't beat Lao Cai!" Ah~ why don't we think of another way~~"
"My lady, calm down." Wang Shouzhe also hurriedly persuaded, "The Emperor Cangping is at the level of a Taoist master. Even if we are tied together, we husband and wife can't beat a single hand. Calm down, calm down."
With the improvement of her cultivation base, the switch between Ruo Lan's two personalities has become smoother, and now she doesn't need to be provoked, and she can draw her sword directly if she disagrees.
After persuading her for a while, Liu Ruolan's expression gradually softened a little.
She withdrew the Yuanshui holy sword unwillingly: "Huh~! Then put it on the account first, and when I can beat him, I must make that old dog look good.
"
But even so, she still had a dark face, and her displeasure was almost all written on her face: "Where is Baoguang? How did that kid do things? He even helped Cang Ping to promote, not our own children?"
"My lady~ Baoguang has already sent a letter to clarify." Wang Shouzhe heaved a sigh of relief and explained, "This is a serious matter. In order to prevent our Wang family from being too aggressive, we should suppress the heat and hide our strengths and bide our time. I think, He was right."
"Hmph~ When will that kid be able to hide his strength and bide his time?" Liu Ruolan looked unhappy, "You send a message to tell him to come back, I will ask him personally."
"Yes, lady, I will send a message immediately." After Wang Shouzhe finished speaking, he quickly winked at the other women, signaling them to find a way to change the subject.
If I really want to provoke my wife's violent temper, I'm afraid something big will happen.
The Empress Dowager Qingyang and Yao Yumei looked at each other, not daring to speak indiscriminately for a while, and there was a hint of awe in the eyes that looked at Liu Ruolan.
The sword intent just now, although it was done casually, was really a bit scary. Both of them had a feeling of being completely suppressed just now, so UU reading www.uukanshu.com did not dare to speak casually at this moment.
The Holy Maiden of Water Moon was quite familiar with Liu Ruolan's strength and temper, so she was not intimidated. After receiving Wang Shouzhe's eyes, she was ready to change the subject.
However, she hadn't waited for her to speak.
The voice of Lan Wanghai, the commander of the imperial army, sounded outside: "Brother Shouzhe is there? I am Lan Wanghai." Wang Shouzhe was so happy that something interrupted him, so he quickly ordered someone to invite Lan Wanghai in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Lan Wanghai didn't even bother to salute, so he urged him to leave anxiously: "Brother Shouzhe, hurry up, leave Tianrui Holy Dynasty with Mrs. Zun, and return to the world of Shenwu to avoid the limelight. You guys Your great enemy has come to the holy pilgrimage and is preparing to make trouble for you."
"?"
Wang Shouzhe's expression also became slightly serious.
He ignored Lan Wanghai's urging, frowning and guessing: "The enemy? Is it the King of Pingtian, Ji Taichang? No, he should be busy cleaning up the demons on the battlefield right now. Could it be Nirvana Buddha Lord? No, he is being seriously injured. Could it be, the Taoist Lord of Absolute Beginning...?"
When this name was mentioned, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but glanced at Liu Ruolan. If he remembers correctly, the contemporary Daoist Master of Absolute Beginning is Ruo Lan's younger brother.
Hearing Wang Shouzhe's speculation, Lan Wanghai couldn't spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Wang Shouzhe quietly. Co-authoring only exists at the Taoist level, in your eyes is the enemy?
