“I understand this matter.” Wang Shouzhe had already made up his mind and changed the subject, “Wang Shoulian, your fourth sister-in-law made me some snacks. I can’t bear to eat more, so I’ll save some for you.”

Wang Shoulian’s face changed slightly, and he forced a smile: “Thank you fourth brother for being sympathetic. I have eaten some dry food on the road just now.”

“You’re a big guy, how can you just eat dry food?” Liu Ruolan reprimanded slightly, “You should eat some snacks to cushion your stomach first, and the fourth sister-in-law will cook for you in a while.”

Wang Shoulian’s face was extremely pale, and he forced a smile and said, “Thank you, Sister-in-Law Four.”

Wang Zongchang’s calf was shaking, and he said, “Fourth Uncle, I’ll finish the task now.”

“What’s the hurry?” Liu Ruolan looked like an elder sister-in-law and an aunt. “You are all young and middle-aged. You must eat your fill before you do anything. No one is allowed to leave, and everyone stays to eat.”

Then, Liu Ruolan went to prepare the meal.

She said that she will cook by herself today.

The faces of the three men of the Wang family were all heavy, and the atmosphere was depressed, as if the end was coming.

…

almost the same time period.

To the northwest of Changning Acropolis, there is a large pasture with abundant water and grass.

Here, there are flocks of cattle and sheep, as well as groups of sturdy horses, running and training under the drive of herdsmen.

This is the famous “Huangfu Ranch”, which is one of the main pillar industries of the Huangfu family.

The Huangfu family has been rooted in Changningwei for hundreds of years, and has completed an alternation between heaven and man.

In the middle of this vast pasture, there is a ring-shaped volcano that has been silent for a long time.

This is a ring-shaped volcano, resulting in a lot of volcanic rocks in the land of this large-scale pasture, so that it is difficult to cultivate a large area, and it is difficult to reclaim tracts of fertile fields.

The land contains a lot of volcanic ash and minerals, but it is suitable for the growth of grass and is conducive to the development of animal husbandry.

It also makes the beef and mutton produced by Huangfu Ranch of high quality, and the horses are also very robust, which has produced a lot of economic benefits.

Right in the middle of the ring-shaped volcano, more than a hundred feet below the crater, there was a huge red rock.

On the rock, a stone house was built.

Beside the stone house, there is a red lake with a radius of several dozen meters.

But in this small lake, it is not water, but the red magma that keeps rolling over.

The scorching heat filled the air, and the surroundings were twisted.

From time to time, there are magma bubbles churning up from the magma lake, the bubbles burst, and black smoke rises.

It is the ash formed by the burning of impurities in the magma that cannot bear the high temperature.

The temperature in the entire magma lake is terribly high, and ordinary people will be roasted within a moment and a half if they enter this place.

However, among such Jedi, there is a red-haired old man sitting cross-legged on a red bare volcanic rock.

The volcanic rock was located in the middle of the magma lake, and the surrounding magma bubbles burst continuously, like bursting red flame flowers.

The surrounding air is also distorted, obviously the temperature is extremely frightening.

However, the red-haired old man was still in this environment, but he was still at ease, like a fish in the water.

His eyes were closed, his breath was long, and he breathed like a dragon.

Every time he inhales, the air with extremely high temperature around him will be inhaled into his lungs in large quantities, and every time he exhales, a white wave of air will be exhaled.

With every breath, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to have dropped a little, and the magma in front was shaken so much that it stirred up layers of waves.

And so, again and again.

His face was like a drunk old wine, gradually turning red, and bursts of blue smoke rose from the top of his head.

at this time.

On the stone steps leading to the interior of the crater, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with a majestic complexion was descending rapidly.

His aura is steady, and he walks like tigers and dragons. Although his speed is fast, it is like his feet are flat on the ground, and he has a calm and unhurried bearing.

A thin layer of red aura shrouded his body, helping him resist the terrifying high temperature in the crater.

But even so, when he walked to the stone house by the lava lake, his face was already sweating, and his face was red with heat, obviously it was not easy.

But he still only dared to stare at the red-haired old man from a distance, and did not dare to disturb him at will.

After a long time, the red-haired old man received the gong.

With bare feet, he stepped on the tumbling lava as he walked to the side of the small stone house.

It was only at this time that the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with extraordinary bearing said, “I have seen my ancestors.”

As he said that, he shook off a coat with his own hands and put it on the ancestor.

“Jinhuan.” The red-haired old man glanced at him lightly, “You know I’m at a critical juncture in my “Red Dragon True Art” practice. If there is nothing important, I believe you won’t dare to disturb me.”

“Report to the ancestors.” The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes cupped his hands and said, “Does the ancestors remember the Ping An Wang family?”

“Ping An Wang?”

The red-haired old man frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

After a long while, he suddenly said: “I remembered. What is that foreign pioneer family called Wang Zhouxuan. I also have two heavenly families in a small area in Changning Wei District, and he even wants to attack the heavenly people, ridiculous~!”

The man in Chinese clothes said, “That’s right, according to the instructions of the old ancestor, we used the momentum of the beast tide to arbitrarily stumble the other party and make them fall.”

He spoke very lightly.

Back then, they had no grievances with the Wang family, but they just wiped it out.

The red-haired old man frowned slightly: “I also remembered what you said. This family seems to have some relationship with the Long Zuo Wang Clan. Back then, the Long Zuo Wang Clan asked for a letter from the school, and it was saved. That little family. What did you suddenly mention about this little family? Could it be that they are still able to turn over the sky?”

“Old Ancestor.” The man in Chinese clothes said solemnly, “This little family is going to be turned upside down now. Recently, news from our clansmen in the Zifu Academy has come back. This Ping An Wang Clan, I don’t know why, has gone out a lot. Three Tianjiao. Two of them were cultivated by Wandie Valley and Xiaoyao Peak as direct disciples.”

“And their patriarch Wang Shouzhe is even more amazing…”

He explained some recent events in the academy to his ancestors.

Of course, the matter of Wang Longyan and Wang Lici is relatively low-key and not known to outsiders, but they have not received any news.

“Old Ancestor, if we continue like this, within two hundred years, this Wang family is afraid to climb on our heads. I wonder if the other party will investigate what happened back then?”

“The two in the Academy are too young to pose a threat in a short period of time.” The red-haired old man said indifferently, “It is impossible for the teachers of the Academy to arbitrarily interfere in disputes between local tyrants. The real threat is the one from the Wang family. Patriarch, Wang Shouzhe.”

His eyes were calm: “At the beginning, due to the warning from the school, the grass could not be eradicated. This time, if you do it a little more covertly, it is bound to strike a thunderbolt and hit its vital point.”

“Yes, ancestor.” The middle-aged man said again, “In addition, our spies have also discovered a top-secret matter. The ‘cementum’ that has recently gained fame in Donghaiwei is actually the masterpiece of the Ping An Wang family.”

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up.

No wonder the rise of the Ping An Wang family has been so rapid in recent years. I am afraid that they have earned a lot of resources by relying on cement.

“Cement?”

The red-haired old man obviously did not know this.

The middle-aged man explained it to him and said, “Cement is expensive. But in recent years, many buildings in Ping’an Town, including roads and river banks, have used a lot of cement. From this, it can be inferred that the The manufacturing cost should be very low, and it is a huge profit. If we can hold this business in our hands…”

Hearing this, even the red-haired old man’s breathing became slightly heavier.

If a family wants to grow and develop, it cannot do without resources.

The Huangfu family is very powerful, with many industries and huge scale, and the total annual income has reached an astonishing 300,000 dry gold.

However, their overhead is even more staggering.

An ancestor of the Celestial Realm, a dozen backbones of the Spirit Stage, two Celestial Seeds, a dozen Spirit Stage Seeds, plus two or three hundred important clansmen, there are more than 100 even family generals and worshipers. , the rest of the family servants, the number has reached a huge number of one or two thousand.

With so many people, the annual cost is astronomical.

How much can the 300,000 dry gold be left over?

As the saying goes, “Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.” The ninth-grade family has its difficulties. Although the seventh-grade family looks beautiful, it also has its own difficulties.

The family accumulation is not enough, the red-haired old man does not dare to open up to practice, to attack the Purple Palace, otherwise he will be a black hole of resources, and the rest of the family will not be able to develop.

At present, their plan and direction, that is, they want to go to a sixth-grade family.

But if they can take the cement industry as their own, based on the background of their family, the value that cement can generate will be far above Ping’an Town.

At that time, let alone the sixth-rank aristocratic family, after a hundred or two hundred years, the Zifu family may be qualified to rush.

As the saying goes, every husband is innocent, but he is guilty.

Ping An Wang, this is asking for his own death.

A thick greed flashed across the eyes of the red-haired old man, and a powerful and suffocating aura gradually permeated from him.

“Jinhuan, feel free to do it. Just one thing, you must do it without leaving any traces.”

“Yes, my ancestor.”

The middle-aged man was refreshed and realized that his ancestors approved his idea.

He excitedly said: “This is also in line with the rise of our Huangfu family. During this time, I will arrange the layout first, and we will start when the disaster relief team of the Zifu Academy leaves.”

…

a few days later.

Changning Wei.

city capital.

As the political core of the Acropolis, the city capital is built in a square, upright atmosphere, but the details are majestic.

In the center, there is a high tower, which can have a panoramic view of the entire Acropolis.

Outside the city capital, there are huge squares in each of the four directions.

The square is paved with bluestone and dotted with rune bricks, forming a huge guardian array surrounding the city capital.

It can be said that the city capital itself is an incomparably strong fortress, even if there are seventh-order fierce beasts rushing into the formation, it can withstand a lot of time.

However, at this moment, the four huge squares were already full of carriages.

These carriages have different national emblems and belong to the major families who came to the capital to attend the meeting.

At this moment, in the main hall, the major eighth-rank families have already arrived.

There are Liu Gaowang, the patriarch of the Liu clan in Sanyin, and Liu Zhisheng, the ancestor of Zhisheng.

Obviously, because the patriarch Liu Gaowang has not yet reached the spiritual stage, he came to support the ancestor Zhisheng.

In addition, there is the Chen Dewei patriarch of the Chen family in Donggang.

He was originally the patriarch of the Lingtai realm, so only one person came.

Correspondingly, there is also the patriarch of Shanyang Gongsun clan, Gongsun Yan.

Gongsun Yan was only twenty-three years old, but he was already at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm.

As for his father, Gongsun Qiang, he had been the young patriarch all his life, but in the end it was not his turn to be the patriarch.

As for Wang Shouzhe’s mother family, the Yingxiu Lu Clan, there are currently only two monks in the spiritual stage, and they have not yet reached the threshold of the eighth-rank family. Therefore, they are not eligible to participate in this meeting.

In addition, Xu Anbang, the patriarch of the Ning Xu clan, the old-fashioned eighth-rank clan, was also waiting here early on.

In addition, Dang Zhenghe, the patriarch of the Ningxi Dang Clan, Huangfu Deyun, the former patriarch of the Ma Huangfu Clan, Wangxia Lei Clan, and other famous family patriarchs have all arrived.

Among them, the former Ma Huangfu Clan and Wangxia Lei Clan were the offshoots of the Huangfu Clan and the Lei Clan, two celestial families in Changning.

Coupled with the Ping An Wang family, now eight eighth-rank families in the entire Changningwei area have gathered.

When Wang Shouzhe walked into the main hall under the guidance of a city guard mansion general, the eyes of the people in this room all fell on him.

The Sanyin Liu Clan, the Shanyang Gongsun Clan, and the Donggang Chen Clan all naturally cast their eyes with kindness and kindness.

The eyes of Xu Anbang, the head of the Xu clan in Changning, were obviously much more complicated.

Once upon a time, the Xu family in Changning, as an old-fashioned eighth-rank family, was aloof and proud.

The relationship with the Ping An Wang family is also very complicated.

Over time, the contact between the two sides became less and less, and only Zhimai maintained the state of occasional intermarriage.

But now, in just ten years, the Ping An Wang family has risen rapidly, and has monopolized a corner of Ping An, a whole site. Not only is its strength already catching up with the old-fashioned eighth-rank family, but its future potential is even more inestimable.

The rest of the eighth-rank family leaders looked at Wang Shouzhe with deep meaning, as if they each had their own scheming and plans.

“Cousin Shouzhe.” Gongsun Yan, the youngest patriarch present, took the lead to meet Wang Shouzhe and cupped his hands, “Why did my cousin come? Everyone has been waiting for a long time.”

“Cousin Yan.” Wang Shouzhe returned the salute with a smile, “I am in Ping’an Town, the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is normal to come late.”

Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe and the patriarchs greeted each other one by one.

Everyone is a person of status. The intimacy between in-laws and allies is normal. Even if there has been some friction with the other patriarchs, they will not lose their demeanor on such formal occasions. They greet each other with smiles. , chatting and laughing, like friends who haven’t seen each other for many years.

However, in this scene, everyone’s words are useless.

When it is lively.

The palace general outside shouted: “Huangfu Jinhuan, the patriarch of the Huangfu Clan, is here…”

Everyone who was talking and communicating suddenly stopped talking and looked at the door.

I saw a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes stepping in.

He glanced around the room, and a smile appeared on his face: “I’m sorry everyone, I’m late.”

After the general courtesy, his eyes fell on Wang Shouzhe.

And Wang Shouzhe’s eyes also fell on him.

The eyes of the two people collided.
