Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence - Chapter 260

c252 The secret realm appears, Cao Xianger is promoted, negotiations

If the Tang family climbs the high branch of the Seventh Commandery King, promotion to the seventh rank family is just around the corner.

Yun Bozi said enviously:

“The Tang family’s luck is truly incredible.”

As long as Tang Yuntian doesn’t die prematurely, it’s possible for the Tang family to have a real Jin Dan.

Liu Meizhen looked at Fu Yongyi:

“Yong Yi, what are the reserves of this mine?”

If the reserves are minimal.

Then he doesn’t even have the bargaining chips to negotiate with the Tang family.

after all.

The Tang family is not stupid, how could they give away the heads of their subordinate families to others for nothing.

Fu Yongyi said with a bit of joy:

“Mother, this is a medium-to-large mine. If it is fully mined, not counting labor costs, it should not be a problem to sell it in the market for 700,000 to 800,000 spirit stones.”

As soon as this statement came out.

There was a hint of smile in Liu Meizhen’s eyes.

This way.

Then they can not only bring over the third member of the Yu family, but also take over a small shop in Yunlongfang City from the Tang family.

Yun Bozi is worried about gains and losses at this moment:

“Mother, the Tang family has taken over the Seventh County Prince. We are just afraid that the other party will use their power to bully others and refuse to admit their fault.”

Fu Yongyi feels the same way.

As a child.

He had seen many such cases, where the landlords in the village occupied the villagers’ fertile farmland, and what’s more, it was on the other side’s land.

Liu Meizhen was quite calm:

“So we can’t come rashly, we have to wait for the opportunity.”

“Mother, how do you say this?”

“I found out from Baishitong that Cao Xiang’er will be transferred to Jingzhou Town Shisi Wanhu Office soon because of his meritorious service in leading the Huainan family to resist the beast tide. At that time, we will ask Cao Xiang’er to come forward. With Zhenshi Si as his backer, this Tang family No matter how courageous you are, you won’t dare to break your promise.”

Yun Bozi heard this.

Hahahaha:

“What the mistress is doing is a great kindness!”

He had heard about it a long time ago.

Mistress and Cao Xiang’er have a good relationship, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. He quickly said: “Mistress, have you heard about when Cao Xiang’er will be promoted?”

“As little as three years, as much as five years.”

Personnel changes in the Zhenshi Division.

Especially when it comes to the level of Zifu, promotion is not just a matter of promotion.

Although Yun Bozi thought it took too long, he had been waiting for nearly a hundred years, no less than these few years, and for a monk, three to five years was just a blink of an eye.

While Liu Meizhen and others were waiting quietly in Butterfly Valley.

A shocking event happened in the Fu family of Pingshan County, Huainan, Jingzhou.

Pingshan County fiefdom.

When the beast tide broke out, in order to reduce the number of defensive strongholds, the Lingshan magic circle could only be removed. The beast tide swept in and entrenched itself. Hundreds of acres of spiritual flowers and grasses in the mountains were swept away. Fortunately, the monster beasts did not cause any damage to the spiritual veins. destroy.

Yaoyao and Yu Qingru teamed up to set up the mountain protection formation again.

Cai Xiangu led the disciples of Lingzhi Hall and began to repair the spiritual fields day and night and replant red marrow rice.

Seeing her mother working so hard, Yulian also went to work in the fields with her.

Ouyang Fei felt bad when he saw Yulian busy casting the spiritual rain with her child on her back, and asked Brother Rong to take good care of the magic circle and join the labor force.

in this way.

Been busy for several months.

Hundreds of acres of spiritual fields were finally restored and planted one by one.

Ouyang Fei then returned to the main hall of the formation center.

Enter the temple.

But I saw that the bed that Brother Rong carried with him was placed on the side of the formation, but there was no one on the bed:

“Where did this kid go?”

Ouyang Fei frowned.

His spiritual consciousness suddenly reached into the ground to check.

Ever since he established the foundation, Brother Rong sometimes likes to burrow underground, wondering if it is due to the presence of a spiritual beast in his body, so he sleeps deep in the ground.

only.

His consciousness swept back and forth.

Rong Geer was not found underground:

“Could this kid have secretly gone to Shiwanda Mountain alone?”

He hesitated.

Ouyang Fei struck a spell on the main formation, and a light curtain rose from the formation. Ripples flashed through the light curtain, and the mountainous landforms appeared one by one.

Indeed, Brother Rong was not found in the mountains.

Vaguely.

Ouyang Fei had a bad feeling.

He quickly waved his sleeve, and a jade talisman of communication entered it. With a buzzing sound, the jade talisman trembled slightly, and then the aura disappeared:

“This is.”

Brother Rong cannot be contacted!

Ouyang Fei’s face immediately showed an anxious look.

On weekdays, Brother Rong seems to have enough to eat and sleep, and looks like a god, but whenever he sends a message, the other party will reply in time.

This is the first time that I can’t be contacted directly:

“It would be better if nothing happens!”

A dense layer of sweat suddenly broke out on Ouyang Fei’s forehead.

The head of the house retreats.

The mistress travels far away.

Deliberately leave the child in your hands.

If something really happened, how would he explain it to the family head, mistress, and others? Even he himself would not be able to pass this test.

Ouyang Fei swayed.

Extremely fast.

A gust of wind rushed to the mountain gate.

The gatekeeper is Fu Yongqi.

This was the first time he saw Ouyang Fei so panicked, and he quickly said: “Elder Ouyang, is there an invasion from a foreign enemy?”

The beast tide has just passed.

Don’t start another fight.

They can’t stand the trouble.

Ouyang Fei shook his head and said quickly:

“Bring me your travel sheet.”

Fu Yongqi was puzzled, but he quickly took out a thick record sheet from his sleeve.

Ouyang Fei flipped through it quickly.

No record of Rong Geer’s travel was found:

“Is Brother Rong still in the mountain?”

Ouyang Fei turned back and searched again, and found traces left by Brother Rong deep in the center of the formation.

Follow this clue.

It turned out to be a clever way to avoid the protective formation.

at last.

Appearing thousands of feet across the Hanlin River bed at the border with Yunshan County, Rong Geer’s trace disappeared.

Searched around.

Ouyang Fei found nothing.

He immediately returned to Yunshan County and quickly went to the Soul Palace to take a look. He found that Brother Rong’s soul lamp was still there, and he was slightly relieved.

Brother Fan got the news.

He hurried to the Soul Palace.

The Soul Palace was filled with monks’ soul lanterns with spiritual roots from the Fu family. Ouyang Fei suddenly returned to Yunshan County and rushed into the Soul Palace without saying a word. This really shocked Brother Fan, who thought it was his mother and the others heading to Jingzhou. An accident happened.

He glanced at the life soul lamp.

Nothing unusual.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief:

“Grandpa Fei, what happened?”

Ouyang Fei’s face was solemn, and after casting a soundproofing spell, he told the story of Brother Rong’s mysterious disappearance.

When Brother Fan heard this, his expression changed:

“Grandpa Fei, if I really tell you what I said, this matter needs to be discussed in detail. If someone deliberately sets a trap to lure my second brother to Han Linjiang, I’m afraid…”

I’m afraid that the person is already in someone else’s hands by now.

other side.

Yaoyao also came after hearing the news. After hearing the whole story, she immediately said: “Grandpa Fei, lead the way. Let’s go to Han Linjiang.”

If someone is willing to set up a trap.

As a formation mage, he would definitely be able to see the clues.

When the two were leaving.

Brother Fan said worriedly:

“Grandpa Fei, if anything happens, call me immediately. If that doesn’t work, let my father come out of seclusion. Don’t take any chances.”

In order not to cause unnecessary sensation.

The two used the invisibility technique and quietly left the Demon Control City. They reached deep underground in Han Linjiang before removing the invisibility technique.

Ouyang Fei said:

“I searched all the way from Pingshan County to here, and the traces of Brother Rong disappeared.”

Yaoyao nodded slightly.

First, he looked around, then patted the storage bag. In a flash of light, a detection array disk appeared in his hand. As a series of spells entered, a dark spiritual light suddenly lit up in the array disk.

Half a day later.

Buzz!

The detection array disk is vibrating violently.

Black light is imprinted on a stone wall.

Yaoyao’s method is over.

His face was slightly pale, but there was a hint of hope in his eyes: “Grandpa Fei, try using your magic power to move this stone wall.”

Ouyang Fei made a hand seal with his right hand.

A ray of spiritual light turned into an axe, swinging down in the air.

bite!

The stone wall was filled with sparks.

The ax shattered in response to the sound, turning into dots of starlight and disintegrating:

“Hey, this is it?”

With a thought, Ouyang Fei’s black light flashed, and his destiny gourd roared out of his body. He was about to activate it, but Yaoyao stopped him:

“Grandpa Fei, this is a barrier, and it was set up by ancient monks. It cannot be broken without brute force.”

“Ancient enchantment?”

Ouyang Fei was stunned for a moment.

Half worried and half happy:

“Yaoyao, do you mean that your second brother accidentally broke into the barrier here?”

That is to say.

He was not kidnapped.

Yaoyao nodded slightly, and as Ouyang Fei’s magic attack dispersed, the faint runes that had appeared on the stone wall instantly dispersed.

Yaoyao said nothing.

One shot storage bag.

In an instant, arrays of flags and arrays landed in different directions under the river bed of Han Linjiang, accompanied by the sound of a spell from her mouth.

Buzz!

A spiritual light appeared on the formation flag.

After forming a line, they poured into the array.

A photomask is flipped upside down.

boom!

With the change of Yaoyao’s method.

The mask is invisible.

Only now did her face show excitement: “Grandpa Fei, maybe the second brother has found a historical site.”

Possess ancient enchantment.

After the barrier.

It might be the ruins of an ancient monk’s cave, or it might not be the ruins of an ancient sect. No matter what it is, it can be said to be a great opportunity for the Fu family, which is why he set up the magic circle in the first place.

Ouyang Fei used to be concerned and confused.

He also reacted at this moment, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes:

“But how could Brother Rong know that there is an ancient barrier here?”

Suddenly.

Ouyang Fei thought of a possibility.

Perhaps the companion spirit beast in Brother Rong’s body awakened his bloodline memory, and then brought Brother Rong to this place. If not, how could Brother Rong enter the barrier naturally:

“Yaoyao, can you break the barrier?”

Ouyang Fei was still a little worried.

Yaoyao has studied formations with Grandmaster Yu for more than 20 years. Although her formation skills are not as good as those of Grandmaster Yu, her foundation is solid. She did not agree immediately and only said:

“It’s hard to say. I’ll do some research first. By the way, Grandpa Fei, please go back to Yuyao City and inform my brother about the situation. In addition, in the next period of time, I will be here to study and crack the enchantment. Grandpa Fei, if you guys If there’s nothing urgent, you don’t have to come, just call me if you have something.”

If it is really an ancient cave, or the remains of an ancient sect, once the news leaks out, let alone Huainan, I am afraid that the Donghuang tribe and the aristocratic families of Huaibei will also get involved.

It was inevitable that a riot would break out.

so.

The less people know about this place, the better.

Especially when the main combat power of their clan is gone.

After Ouyang Fei leaves.

Yaoyao once again set up a magic circle to cover up the leakage of spiritual energy and the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness.     “Hu~”

He took a deep breath.

Yaoyao was sitting cross-legged under the barrier stone wall.

I saw her continuously awakening the stone wall barrier runes, and then continued to simulate exercises on the sand table.

Seven years flew by in the blink of an eye.

at this time.

The barrier stone wall was penetrated with Yaoyao’s spells one after another.

Buzz.

The runes on the stone wall surged.

A Bagua pattern condenses out.

This pattern clearly divides the boundary into eight areas: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. Each area is interconnected and restricts each other. The flow of energy in the array follows the relationship between birth and restraint of the Bagua.

Yaoyao’s method is over.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes:

“Finally found the key to breaking the formation.”

Yaoyao started practicing on the sand table again.

other side.

Jingzhou Butterfly Valley.

Yun Bozi walked back and forth in the valley, glancing outside from time to time, and murmured: “This is the fifth year, could it be that there are new changes in the court?”

past few years.

Liu Meizhen goes out every other year.

One is to sell monster materials.

The second is to find out whether Cao Xiang’er has taken office.

Five years have passed.

The youngest daughters of the Tang clan leader have all married into the seven counties, but they still haven’t made any progress.

Fu Yongyi took his time and threw a piece of ore he dug into the basket. In the past five years, he had been cultivating quietly and had reached the third level of foundation building. The next step forward was the middle stage of foundation building.

He turned to the hesitant Yun Bozi and said:

“Uncle Yu, since Know-How said it would be five years at the latest, and now that five years have arrived, I guess there will be accurate information when my mother goes out this time.”

Hongmeng Mountain.

At the Zhenshisi Yamen, the guards saw a woman coming from a distance. When they got closer, the green-robed guard said to the red-robed guard:

“Brother Sun, why does this woman look familiar?”

Guard Sun frowned and thought carefully for a while.

Suddenly he said:

“This is Mrs. Fu who came here once five years ago.”

“Why is this woman still in Jingzhou? Could it be that she was being hunted by her enemies again and ran up the mountain to hide?”

The green-robed guard spoke.

Apparently there are some people who look down on the small families from Huainan.

On the other hand, Guard Sun came forward respectfully, cupped his hands and said:

“Why did Mrs. Fu come here?”

“I have something to report to Mr. Cao, and I would like to ask my Taoist friend to pass it on to me.”

Guard Sun glanced at Liu Meizhen in surprise.

Mr. Cao has just taken office not long ago.

This Liu Meizhen is quite well informed:

“Mrs. Fu, wait a moment.”

Guard Sun turned around and walked towards the side hall.

Cao Xiang’er previously worked in Huainan, Jingzhou, and it seemed that she and Liu Meizhen were old acquaintances.

Arrive at the side hall.

Wait until he reports the reason.

Cao Xiang’er, who was sitting upright, frowned:

“Liu Meizhen?”

I wanted to refuse.

After all, the Fu family in Huainan is under the jurisdiction of the local Zhenshi Division, so she can completely disappear, and the other party is just the mistress of a ninth-grade family.

but.

He hesitated.

Cao Xiang’er still said:

“Bring people to the backyard.”

Go to the backyard.

Then it’s not official business.

Sun Weiwei bowed his head in response. It seemed that Mrs. Fu had a good relationship with Mr. Cao. After coming out of the side hall, her attitude towards Liu Meizhen instantly became a little more respectful:

“Mrs. Fu, please come this way.”

Said.

He personally took Liu Meizhen to the backyard of the side hall.

The green-robed guard met.

I was stunned for a moment:

“This Fu family actually got involved with Master Cao.”

When Liu Meizhen arrived in the backyard, Cao Xiang’er sat under a century-old meeting tree. After seeing her come in, he flicked his index finger and the light curtain of the backyard magic circle closed instantly.

Liu Meizhen quickly saluted:

“Congratulations, sir, on your promotion.”

“sit”

Cao Xiang’er waved her hand, but she still couldn’t be considered noble.

After the guest of honor takes his seat.

Cao Xiang’er said calmly:

“It was just a few years after the beast wave. If your Fu family didn’t take a good rest, why did you come to Jingzhou?”

Finished.

Without waiting for Liu Meizhen’s response.

Continued:

“Forget it, that’s your Fu family’s family matter. Do you have something important to do with me this time? Jingzhou is different from Huainan Mansion. The person in charge now is the master of the palace.”

The implication.

She can’t help with big things.

Hearing this, Liu Meizhen breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Xiang’er had a cold face and a warm heart, so she didn’t hesitate and said directly:

“Sir, our Fu family has come all the way to Jingzhou this time to move the people of the ninth-grade Yu family with five rooms and seven rooms and nine rooms to our Fu family’s fiefdom.”

The end.

He briefly talked about the grievances between Yun Bozi and the Yu family.

Cao Xiang’er frowned slightly.

This is not easy to handle.

After all, not long ago, the head of the Yu family married a pair of daughters into the eighth-rank Tang family. The Tang family is now very popular in Jingzhou.

Liu Meizhen paused.

Then the lips moved.

A few words were quickly transmitted.

Cao Xiang’er raised her eyebrows in surprise, knocked on the table, and muttered: “In that case, I can give it a try.”

Tang family.

It can be said that Patriarch Tang is being held up by people wherever he goes recently. He is a rare and beautiful person. Although the head of the Tang clan has become the king of the seven counties, he is more low-key than before.

He repeatedly told the clansmen not to act recklessly.

to this end.

During the clan’s big festival.

In front of the whole family, several clan members who were swindling outside under the banner of the Seven Princes were punished.

The original impetuous atmosphere of the entire Tang family was suppressed at once.

After receiving the message from Cao Xianger, the head of the Tang family was stunned for a moment.

Then his eyes fell on Mrs. Tang on the other side like lightning:

“Could it be that there are children in the family who have recently caused trouble outside and offended Lord Cao?”

The clan members who were punished before.

One of them was Mrs. Tang’s niece who married in from her mother’s family.

Mrs. Tang waved her hand quickly:

“My husband, the clan members are very honest now, and there is no such case as before.”

After speaking.

Mrs. Tang couldn’t help but muttered in a low voice:

“This Lord Cao is just from a remote place in Huainan. He has no foundation and no connections in the court. Our daughter is the concubine of the prince. If the clan members below make a small mistake, Lord Cao dares to blame us.”

As soon as these words came out,

The Tang clan leader narrowed his eyes.

He quickly raised his voice:

“Come here, take the lady to the patriarch’s house. In the future, she is not allowed to step out of the patriarch’s house without my permission.”

Mrs. Tang was stunned for a moment.

She did nothing, why was she punished to be confined again?

Mrs. Tang cried out for injustice, but the Tang clan leader was unmoved.

Cao Xiang’er’s family is a fifth-grade Jindan family in Jinzhou. Even the Seventh County Prince’s Mansion dare not offend easily.

The Tang clan leader did not delay for a moment, fearing that Cao Xiang’er would think he was neglectful, and rushed to the agreed place in Qingya Mountain.

Since the meeting was not in Zhenshisi.

It was probably a private matter.

Arrived at Qingya Mountain.

But saw a ripple flash in the air in front of him, and then a gap came into view.

The Tang clan leader shook.

Entered the mountain.

But saw that in addition to Cao Xiang’er, there was another strange woman on the top of the mountain.

After greeting.

Cao Xianger introduced:

“This is the ninth-rank mistress of the Fu family from Huainan, Jingzhou.”

Someone from Huainan?

Patriarch Tang couldn’t figure out what Cao Xianger was up to for a while. After sitting down, Cao Xianger didn’t beat around the bush and said directly:

“Today, I called Patriarch Tang here because I have an opportunity for him.”

It was a pie in the sky.

Patriarch Tang naturally didn’t believe it and said quickly:

“Thank you for your kindness, but I won’t accept the gift without merit, just…”

“Don’t rush to refuse, wait for me to finish my words.”

Cao Xianger took a sip of the Qingyun tea brewed by Liu Meizhen.

Continued:

“Mrs. Fu discovered a medium-to-large mineral source. I also went to see it myself. If it is fully mined, it will be worth nearly one million spirit stones.”

A second-level mineral source worth one million? !

Patriarch Tang’s heart moved.

If he had this amount of spirit stones, he could prepare a spiritual object for Yuntian to break through the Purple Mansion, although this would definitely come at a price.

But at this moment, his heart was beating fast.

He pricked up his ears unconsciously:

“In exchange, you only need to find a suitable reason to transfer the Yu family’s foundation building away from their clan land, and in addition, transfer the largest of the three shops in your Yunlong Market to the Fu family.”

Sure enough.

Hearing Cao Xiang’er put forward two conditions.

Patriarch Tang was relieved a lot. If there was a request, it meant that this matter was probably true, and Cao Xiang’er’s identity was there, it was impossible for her to deceive him for a shop, and this shop was not transferred to her name.

His mind turned quickly.

Patriarch Tang frowned and said:

“The Yu family is under the jurisdiction of my Tang family. Madam Fu, please tell me the reason why you asked me to transfer the Yu family’s foundation building away. Otherwise, no matter how generous the conditions you give, I can’t agree.”

The eighth-grade family has the responsibility to protect the family under its jurisdiction.

Liu Meizhen looked at Patriarch Tang in surprise, and immediately stood up, without beating around the bush, and directly told the grievances between Yun Bozi and the Yu family.

Because.

Even if we don’t say it now.

The Tang family will certainly know about it in the future, so there is no need to offend a family with unlimited potential.

Clan leader Tang didn’t expect Liu Meizhen to be so frank.

He pondered for a while and said:

“The Yu family was the same ninth rank as our Tang family. When the Yu family coup happened, my great grandfather was still alive.”

For this reason.

The great grandfather deliberately recorded the negative case of the Yu family in the enlightenment books of the clan, so that the clan members would not fight against each other.

The Yu family coup happened that year.

Unfortunately, a child of destiny was lost.

Otherwise.

With the momentum of the Yu family at that time, they would have been promoted to the eighth rank long ago, and they would not still be in the ninth rank family now:

“Since the hearts of the fifth, seventh and ninth branches of the Yu family are no longer in the Yu family, it is inevitable that the old things will happen again if they stay in the future.”

“I can agree to the first condition”

“But”

Clan leader Tang paused.

He shook his head and said:

“I need to know the exact location of the mine. Besides, the shops in Yunlongfang City are valuable. My largest shop can be divided into three shops for rent. No matter what, I will never transfer it.”

Talking about business.

It’s a give and take.
