Chapter 137: People from the tribe enter the ruins
"Creak" sound.
The door to the secret room slowly opened.
Yuanquan suddenly came into view.
Zhou Paner, who was meditating in the Yuanquan, opened her eyes:
"Shao Ping"
Fu Shaoping dodged.
After entering into the Yuanquan, the two of them stayed together.
Fu Shaoping touched Zhou Paner's bulging belly and felt a little worried. According to the date, the baby should have been full-term, but there was no sign of it coming out.
He was gone for half a year.
I’m afraid the child will be a few months old by the time I come back.
Zhou Pan'er seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, this kid might not be able to come out even if you come out of the Tiandao Gate Ruins."
so long? !
Could it be that Pan'er really has the blood of the ancient spirit race?
Fu Shaoping was a little excited.
The two of them whispered to each other for a long time before Fu Shaoping came out of the Yuanquan.
Arrived at the front yard.
But Li Changsheng and Master Tian were practicing martial arts with the Fu family's children, and Qiu Yaer came to report:
"Sir, the old lady wants you to come to the inner courtyard. A lady named Ye from Qiuye Town has come to our house several times and is waiting to see you."
Autumn Leaf Town? !
Fu Shaoping suddenly thought of Pi Xiu's cousin Ye Xiaoqi.
He immediately understood that this Mrs. Ye should be Ye Xiaoqi's first wife, from the fourth branch of the Huainan Fu family.
It was his first time meeting someone from the main sect, so he was somewhat excited. He took a few quick steps and when he reached the inner courtyard, he faintly heard hearty laughter.
This laughter was somewhat unfamiliar.
Qiu Yaer reported.
The curtain opens.
Enter the hall and take a look.
But he saw a graceful and elegant woman smiling at him.
Jiang, who was sitting at the head, waved to him and introduced him:
"Shao Ping, this is Wan Zhen from the fourth branch of the main clan. According to the clan order, she is your seventh cousin. Call her quickly."
"Seventh Sister."
Fu Shaoping cupped his hands.
Seventh cousin Wanzhen returned the greeting with a smile and waited for Fu Shaoping to sit down.
She didn't say anything official, and said directly:
"Shao Ping, we are all family, so I won't beat around the bush. Your Thirteenth Branch of Qingniu Town has been separated from the clan for hundreds of years. According to you, do you want to continue to maintain the current situation, or should I talk to the clan and have your Thirteenth Branch reincorporated into the upper clan?"
The Huainan Fu family has a total of thirteen branches, or thirteen branches.
These are all from the upper sect.
However, under the Thirteenth House, there are many branches scattered all over the place, and the Fu family they form is called a small clan.
Ordinarily.
The thirteenth branch of Fu Shaoping's family had already left the clan for hundreds of years.
It's a small batch.
but.
From the words of seventh sister Wanzhen.
However, they directly brought their lineage back to the position of the eldest clan. From this, it can be seen that the Huainan Fu family has not developed very well in the past few hundred years.
Fu Shaoping bowed and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Seventh Sister."
He planned to meet the clan members first.
If they just treat him as a pawn to exploit his value, then there is no need to return to their clan. But if they can help each other and achieve a win-win situation, he will be extremely happy.
after all.
If the Fu family in Qingniu Town wants to develop rapidly now, it is obviously not something that can be achieved in just one or two years.
Seeing that Fu Shaoping agreed so readily, the smile in the eyes of the seventh sister Wanzhen deepened:
"I guess you will leave for Qingyang County soon. As your elder sister, I don't have anything to show you. This is what my great grandfather gave me when I got married. It's useless for me to give it away now. You can take it. I hope it can help you a little."
Seventh sister Wanzhen took out a small box from her sleeve.
There are several runes engraved on the box.
Fu Shaoping didn't know what was in the box, but seeing the eager look in Seventh Sister Wanzhen's eyes, he didn't hesitate and took it with both hands:
"Thank you, Seventh Sister."
"That's right. We are both from the Huainan Fu family. Since we have recognized each other as siblings today, we should help each other in the future."
This is the purpose of the seventh sister Wanzhen.
Fu Shaoping will definitely not be a mediocre person and will eventually achieve great success.
She didn't even need the other person to do anything.
When Fu Shaoping becomes the most powerful person among the people and is willing to call her Seventh Sister, she will be able to use this opportunity to help her next generation get out of this poor Qiuye Town.
"I have been in your Fu's Villa for a few days. There are too few servants. I heard that my sister-in-law is about to get married. How can this number of people be enough? I know a few matchmakers with many years of experience. The people they train are all sent to wealthy families. I will ask them to bring the people here another day so that you can choose. Midwives and wet nurses must also be prepared."
The seventh sister Wanzhen comes from a prominent family.
He saw at a glance what Fu's Villa lacked and taught it almost everything he knew.
Fu Shaoping listened for a while, asked some questions about the Huainan family, then sat with him for a while before taking his leave.
After lunch.
He left Fu's Villa and met up with Captain Mo in the town, then was taken to the county by Captain Mo.
When entering the outer city.
I found a statue standing proudly in the East Block.
Take a closer look.
It is himself.
Fu Shaoping couldn't help but shook his head in amusement.
After waiting for a cup of tea at the county government office, Ye Qi and Wang Shouzhi, who were in the top three of the competition, also arrived one after another. Ye Qi nodded to Fu Shaoping in a friendly manner and walked to the left to sit with Fu Shaoping. Wang Shouzhi sat alone at the lower right.
The three of them waited for a while.
The Qingyang County Magistrate has not come yet.
Ye Qi came up to talk to Fu Shaoping:
"Fu Xiaoqi, have you heard how many people entered the Tiandao Gate ruins this time?"
Fu Shaoping shook his head.
He has never been to Nanyang Prefecture.
but.
There are ten counties under Nanyang Prefecture. If each county selects three people, then the number of thirty people will be set in stone. In addition, Nanyang Prefecture is the fief of Princess Changping, and the royal family will definitely send people to participate. As for how many people the Nanyang Prefecture government office and the Qianhu Suo will send, it is unknown.
Ye Qi glanced at Wang Shouzhi who was listening with his ears perked up across from him.
He lowered his voice and said:
"I heard"
"This time, we will enter the Tiandao Gate ruins and divide into three teams: the royal family, the government office, and the Qianhu Office. Each team will enter a different place in the Tiandao Gate ruins. As for where the people selected from the ten counties will go, it will be chosen by the three forces above."
"also"
"There are also missions for entering the Tiandao Gate ruins."
"As for what it is, I haven't found out yet, but the reward we will get after we come out of the ruins should be linked to how many tasks we complete."
"Brother Fu, our Huainan Fu and Ye families are old friends. We don't know what risks are hidden in entering the ruins. We have to help each other. If there is a chance, we can team up and work together. How about that?"
Fu Shaoping also learned about it from his seventh sister Wanzhen.
The Ye family and the Fu family are indeed old friends.
Moreover, over the years, the Fu family has obviously been dependent on the Ye family.
Ye Qi did not act superior, so Fu Shaoping would not reject his kindness. He bowed and said, "Of course, of course."
Ye Qi's eyes lit up, and he took out a jade message talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Shaoping:
"This is the mother-child communication talisman. The other one is with me."
Obviously.
Ye Qi was well prepared.
Wang Shouzhi on the right found himself isolated.
He snorted coldly.
Simply close your eyes and rest your mind.
The two opponents were both from aristocratic families and both came from centurions' offices, so it was natural for them to be close relatives. However, he had his own pride and did not want to be humble and huddle together with the other party for warmth.
and.
For Fu Shaoping.
He was also thinking about whether he could find an opportunity to eliminate the other party in the Tiandao Gate ruins.
Fu Shaoping is gone.
In Qingyang County, he is the number one!
It was afternoon.
The Qingyang County Magistrate appeared. He glanced at Fu Shaoping and the other two and said:
"Remember one thing. The three of you are leaving Qingyang County. No matter what grudges you have, once you are outside, you must stand together and help each other. Do you understand?"
The Qingyang County Magistrate glanced at Wang Shouzhi deliberately.
Wang Shouzhi lowered his head quickly.
Fu Shaoping and the other two stood up and said yes.
Arrived outside the county government office.
The Qingyang County Magistrate slapped his storage bag, and with a flash of light, the palm-sized flying boat swelled in the wind and became more than twenty inches long. The Qingyang County Magistrate flew on the wind and landed on the flying boat. He touched the flying boat with his toes, and the flying boat slowly descended and landed in front of them.
Fu Shaoping has flown in the air more than once.
But this is the first time I have seen a flying boat.
After the three of them boarded.
The Qingyang County Magistrate made a spell, and the flying boat hummed and trembled slightly. Then a blue and white light shield rose above the flying boat and fell down.
Looking from the outside.
The flying boat has disappeared.
And even the strong wind was blocked outside.
The flying boat whooshed out like an arrow from a bow at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it left Qingyang County and flew towards Nanyang Prefecture.
If you rely on a horse-drawn carriage.
Even though they traveled day and night without rest, it would take them one or two months to reach Nanyang Prefecture. However, with this flying boat, they appeared outside Nanyang Prefecture on the fourth day.
A towering city suddenly came into view.
The city wall, which is hundreds of feet high, stretches endlessly and is engraved with dense runes. Unlike Qingyang County, which is full of mottled and old buildings after the war, the city wall of Nanyang Prefecture looks like it was newly forged.
A closer look.
The entire wall was forged from Yangang Stone.
Yan Gangshi is a second-level spiritual material.
From the city walls to the arrow towers, and even the eight city gates, everything showed the royal status. Even the Qingyang County Magistrate became respectful when he arrived at the city wall.
after all.
This is the fief of Princess Changping.
although.
Nanyang Prefecture also established a government office and a thousand-household office, but the king here was the Princess Changping's Mansion.
Four people got off the flying boat.
After the Qingyang County Magistrate showed his identity token, the guard nodded slightly and cast a spell on the identity tokens of the four people. Instantly, a ray of information floated up and was recorded in the huge spiritual mirror erected on the city wall. At the same time, a touch of yellow appeared on their identity tokens.
Yellow represents temporary residents.
Come in through the main door.
One after another, magnificent buildings come into view, dazzling the eyes.
Walking room.
You can see that everyone is dressed differently.
The Qingyang County Magistrate brought the people to the government office. After they signed up, they were assigned to stay in the reception hall. "You three will stay in your room for a day to recuperate. I will take you to meet up with everyone tomorrow. Remember, do not leave the reception hall today to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Most of the people outside are either rich or noble.
The Qingyang County Magistrate did not want to get into trouble, so he said a few words in a hurry and left, obviously going to do something.
At night.
Fu Shaoping listened to the noise.
After the Qingyang County Magistrate came back, he went to Wang Shouzhi's room next door.
Wang Shouzhi waited for a day.
Seeing the county magistrate return, he hurried to greet him, and said nervously:
"My Lord, is everything going well?"
"Um"
The Qingyang County Magistrate nodded slightly.
Glancing next door.
Lips move.
He quickly sent a few words to Wang Shouzhi.
Wang Shouzhi immediately smiled widely and bowed to the Qingyang County Magistrate:
"Your Excellency's kindness today, I will never forget it."
The following sentence.
It was obvious that Wang Shouzhi was very excited and his voice was a little high.
So much so that Fu Shaoping could hear it even next door.
He frowned slightly.
It seems that the Qingyang County Magistrate must have known some inside information in advance and planned some benefits for Wang Shouzhi.
Fu Shaoping touched the token of Princess Changping in his sleeve.
Kill any thoughts that arise immediately.
When I left.
The Qinglian County Lady said that he could only go find her with the token after he was promoted to the Diyuan Realm.
But don't know.
Will the other party show up tomorrow?
Silent all night.
Day two.
Fu Shaoping got up and ate breakfast. Ye Qi immediately slipped in, closed the door, and said with an incomprehensible expression on his face: "Shaoping, I just received news from the family. This time we enter the Tiandao Gate ruins, but we are divided into three teams, and we act separately."
really.
It’s different with family support.
Fu Shaoping couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful about returning to his Huainan clan.
Ye Qi continued:
"It is said that when the Tiandao Gate ruins were opened this time, the masters who opened the ruins changed the original magic array and entered in batches, and each time they entered a different place."
"They correspond to the outer gate, inner gate and core area of Tiandao Sect respectively!"
Different areas.
The resources are naturally different.
but.
Obviously, the further you go in, the better the resources are, especially in the core areas.
Fu Shaoping couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
He had originally thought that he could rely on this opportunity to see if he could find a piece of Heavenly Dao Jade fragment, but now it seems that there is no chance. With his small status as a flag bearer in Qingniu Town, he will never be assigned to the core area.
It is more likely that the Tiandao Jade is hidden in the core area.
He finally understood Wang Shouzhi's misconduct last night.
The Qingyang County Magistrate must have used his connections to help him, so at least he wouldn't be assigned to the outer gate. That was why the other party was so happy that he forgot to cover up his voice.
Fu Shaoping said:
"Brother Ye, do you have any way to smooth over the relationship?"
"Our Ye family doesn't have much contact with the high-level officials of Nanyang Prefecture. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to stay at the grassroots level of Qiuye Town for a few years in advance."
Ye Qi sighed.
Somewhat discouraged:
"According to our current situation, I'm afraid that the two of us will most likely be assigned to the outer gate. If I'm not mistaken, the inner gate is composed of people from the Nanyang Prefecture government office, or people from the Qianhu Office here. As for those of us who come from the ten counties below, we will definitely go to the outer gate. The royal family of Princess Changping should go to the core area."
"Um"
Fu Shaoping nodded slightly.
but.
Being able to enter the Tiandao Gate ruins was already a blessing for him, so he was not worried about gains and losses. Moreover, after entering the ruins, it did not necessarily mean that he would be able to obtain opportunities as long as he reached the core area.
After the two came out of the room.
Wang Shouzhi looked at Fu Shaoping with a victorious attitude.
A hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
Fu Shaoping rolled his eyes in his heart.
Wang Shouzhi couldn't hide his emotions at all.
After entering the ruins.
one way or another.
He also won't team up with the other side.
at this time.
The door of the Qingyang County Magistrate's room also opened. In a good mood, the Qingyang County Magistrate gave a few more instructions, then took the three of them out of the city, boarded the flying boat and flew southwest.
Fu Shaoping was stunned for a moment.
He thought everyone was gathering together and setting off.
Never thought.
They actually went separately.
