Chapter 1: Patriarch Intelligence System
Chapter 1: Patriarch Intelligence System
"Miss, the spies from Nanyang County reported that the Fu family's Luofeng Mountain was breached. It is said that a guest elder of the Fu family let the southern barbarians in."
"All 32 members of the Fu family who practice Qi cultivation were killed in order to protect the escape of four people, including the future son-in-law."
"The Fu family is finished."
"Miss, you should cancel the marriage with your future son-in-law. Without the Fu family, Fu Changsheng is just a stray dog at the second level of Qi training. Didn't the second son of the Shangguan family send you an invitation not long ago? I think this is a good opportunity."
"The Shangguan family is a ninth-rank family canonized by the imperial court. Although the second young master is not a legitimate child, he is still a member of a noble family with a certain rank. He is many times better than the future son-in-law who is still wet behind the ears."
"Miss, if you are too embarrassed to come forward, I will go and talk to Fu Changsheng in person and ask him to take the initiative to cancel the engagement. What do you think?!"
"Mammy, you talk too much today."
Liu Meizhen, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, took off all the red hairpins on her head and only wore a white flower. Even so, she could not hide her charming look:
"Mammy, please go to Qingsong Hall and ask the clan leader to come to Lanfang Garden."
In the living room.
Fu Changsheng, who had fled from Nanyang County, was pacing back and forth anxiously. This time he came to the Liu family, hoping to ask the Liu family to send troops to rescue him for the sake of their ancestors.
But two hours passed.
He was left here, not to mention the face of the Liu family leader, he didn't even get a sip of hot tea:
"Could it be that the southern barbarians have marched all the way north and reached Anyang County?"
The two counties can be reached by crossing the Qilian Mountains and then the Songling River.
Fu Changsheng couldn't sit still anymore.
The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be for Grandfather and the others:
"Can't wait any longer!"
He planned to ask Meizhen to help pass the message directly.
Get up from your position.
Arrived at the door.
I just happened to meet Aunt Liu.
When Fu Changsheng learned that it was Mei Zhen who was looking for him, he was delighted. The two of them seemed to be in sync with each other.
Meizhen was fostered in the Fu family for a few years when she was a child.
Although Meizhen was born into the illegitimate branch of the Liu family.
But at such a young age, she is already a first-class lower-grade alchemist and has some influence in the Liu family. If she comes forward, the probability of Patriarch Liu sending troops will be greater.
Fu Changsheng walked quickly all the way.
When he arrived at the reception room of Lanfang Garden, he saw the conspicuous white flower on Meizhen's temples. He was shocked. When he heard that none of the 32 Qigong elders who stayed in the mountains were spared, his head buzzed, he felt dizzy, and his legs went weak!
This morning.
The words that Third Uncle gave them when he was teaching in Hui Lecture Hall are still ringing in their ears.
怎会
"Brother Changsheng, the dead cannot be resurrected, you must accept your grief.
Although the elders of the Fu family are no longer with us, the foundation of your Fu family is still there.
As long as we hold on to that first-level spiritual vein and the fifty acres of spiritual farmland on the mountain, we will have hope of making a comeback."
Liu Meizhen held Fu Changsheng's hand.
The voice was gentle but firm:
“Brother Changsheng, now is not the time to be sad.
Since you are from the direct lineage of the patriarch.
According to the clan rules, you are now the head of the Fu family.
We must protect the foundation that our ancestors have worked so hard to build over the years!"
Fu Changsheng suddenly woke up.
There are five major Qi training families in Anyang County, including my own.
At this time, not only was the Fu family's mountain protection formation broken, but even only one in ten of the cultivators in the family were left. To the other four major families, the Fu family was a big piece of fat meat at this time. If they were not careful, the Fu family would be completely swallowed up by the other four families.
Fu Changsheng gratefully held Liu Meizhen's hand:
"Meizhen, please help persuade Master Liu to send a formation master to accompany me back to Nanyang. As long as we repair the mountain protection formation, with this first-level formation, our Fu family will have a chance to turn things around."
Before he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door. It was Clan Leader Liu.
He patted Fu Changsheng's shoulder to comfort him, and after sitting down at the head, he looked at Fu Changsheng with complicated eyes, and sighed:
"Changsheng, the matter of your Fu family has been discussed at our elders' meeting just now, and a plan has been proposed."
After a pause, Chief Liu looked at Fu Changsheng steadily:
"If you want to defend your Fu family's land, it is obviously not enough to rely on a first-level magic array. You must also send a late-stage Qi training cultivator who can control the magic array to guard it."
"Our Liu family is happy to help with this."
“But there is a prerequisite.”
"That means that from now on, 60% of the output from your Fu family's spiritual fields will be handed over to our Liu family."
The only source of income for the clan is the fifty acres of spiritual fields, and they have to pay 30% of it to the Shangguan family every year. The Liu family just wants 60%, which means that only 10% is left for the Fu family. They can earn more by renting spiritual fields outside.
The Liu family is rejecting him in disguise.
Fu Changsheng was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
twenty years ago.
The Liu family mountain was also besieged by the southern barbarians. At that time, the elders of the Fu family led their people to support without saying a word.
Now that the Fu family is in trouble, the Liu family chooses to stand by and watch.
With such ungrateful and cruel behavior, he wants to see who else dares to form an alliance with their Liu family in the future!
Fu Changsheng took a deep breath, stood up and said:
"Chief Liu, I appreciate your kindness. Just pretend I have never been here today."
Fu Changsheng immediately turned around and left.
Fu Changsheng hurried all the way out of the meeting room, but was stopped by Madam Liu. Madam Liu handed Fu Changsheng a box with a white background and plum pattern:
"This is what the young lady asked me to pass on to you."
Fu Changsheng took the box, opened it and saw that it contained 152 low-grade spirit stones, a first-level speeding talisman, and a note:
"Brother Changsheng, you are not fighting alone. If you need anything, just send me a message."
See the beautiful small handwriting on the note.
Fu Changsheng's originally sad and angry heart suddenly felt warm.
The number of spirit stones was both in whole and in small amounts, indicating that this was all of Mei Zhen's savings.
This amount of spiritual stones was a life-saving stone for him who had nothing left.
After coming out of the Liu family's territory, he immediately took out a communication jade talisman, cast a spell into it, and said quickly:
"Brother, the Liu family is unreliable. You and your third brother and fourth sister should stay where you are. I will ask the Shangguan family to send troops for support. If I don't send you any more messages after three days, you should send another person to Anyang County."
The Shangguan family was a noble family canonized by the imperial court.
They are responsible for governing all the Qi-cultivating families within their fiefdoms.
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As long as they pay tribute on time every year, the Shangguan family must lend a helping hand when the family is facing life and death.
Of course, the Fu family will also have to pay corresponding remuneration afterwards.
He did not go to look for the Shangguan family at first because the journey was too long. He was only thinking about rescuing his grandfather and others as soon as possible. In addition, he thought that the Liu family would help because of the kindness of their ancestors. He never expected that the Liu family was such an ungrateful person.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!
The Fu family is not extinct; there will be a day when they will rise again.
One day, he will make Liu Qingyun and the Liu family regret what they did today!
Fu Changsheng had already arrived at the dock while he was thinking.
Just now.
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Ding"
"The Patriarch's Intelligence System has been activated!"
