Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14694 Won

Zuo Qiuwen looked at the reactions of the ministers below and couldn't help but smile slightly. This was exactly the result he wanted. He looked at Xu Kang and then said in a deep voice, "Lord Xu, I know your ability. When the Third Army was first established, it was your Xu family that established it. Over the years, the previous emperors have always let your Xu family lead the Third Army, and the Third Army has always been loyal to me. So, Lord Xu, I cannot allow your proposal. Lord Xu, you have to manage the Third Army for me. Do you understand?"

When Xu Kang heard Zuoqiu Wen say this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Then he immediately kowtowed and said, "If your Majesty does not mind my humble status, I will surely sacrifice my life to repay your great kindness!" Xu Kang knew that he had made the right bet, as Zuoqiu Wen did not want to take away his military power.

Zuoqiu Wen nodded, then said in a deep voice: "Announce the imperial decree. Xu Kang is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he has won my heart. From today on, I will grant the Xu family the method to activate their spiritual roots. The Xu family must not pass this method on to others." Immediately, a eunuch brought the written imperial edict to Zuoqiu Wen. Zuoqiu Wen took a look at it, nodded, and after signing the seal, he took it down. In this way, the imperial edict was completed.

When Xu Kang heard what Zuo Qiuwen said, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement. He had thought of it when he heard that the method of activating spiritual roots had been completed, but when Zuo Qiuwen really gave this method of activating spiritual roots to their family, he was still excited, because he knew very well what this meant. This meant that their Xu family would be one step ahead of other families. Don't underestimate this step. As long as they can be one step ahead of other families, then the development of their Xu family will be one step faster than other families. At that time, the development of their family will be better than other families, and this is exactly what Xu Kang wants most.

And those families that were about to unite under Zhang Yi's lobbying, when they saw this situation, they knew that they were finished and had no chance. Zuo Qiuwen's actions caused the alliance of those big families to fall apart in an instant, and those big families also knew why the Xu family did this, because over the years, they had been suppressing families like the Xu family. The purpose of doing so was actually to weaken the military power of the Xu family. Although those civil official families could arrange family members in some armies, they actually had no military power. For families like the Xu family, the Third Army was equivalent to their family, and such families were the ones they envied the most. They had always wanted military power, but unfortunately, for families like the Xu family, military power was equivalent to their lifeblood, and of course they would never hand it over. It was precisely because of this that those families wanted to suppress families like the Xu family and make them hand over part of their military power so that their families could continue to grow and develop, but they did not expect that Zuo Qiuwen actually took advantage of this. Today they were just acting.

Everyone could see that Xu Kang and Zuoqiu Wen must have discussed this beforehand. Xu Kang petitioned to hand over his military power, but Zuoqiu Wen did not allow it. Then he used this as an excuse to reward Xu Kang with a method to activate his spiritual roots. This was actually a disguised way of surrendering to the emperor. Xu Kang did this without consulting other families. This meant that Xu Kang had already surrendered to the emperor. Don't forget that Zuoqiu Wen's imperial edict just now rewarded Xu Kang for his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism. Loyalty to the emperor came first. In this way, a gap appeared in the alliance of their big families. What those people were more worried about was that the Xu family was not the only family that had been suppressed by them over the years. If the emperor took over those families as well, they would have no chance to deal with the emperor.

Just as they were thinking this, they saw several more heads of large families stand up and they also wanted to hand over their military power. The people of these large families, without exception, were all military personnel and all had their own military power.

Zuoqiu Wen did the same. He did not take away their military power, but also rewarded them with methods to activate their spiritual roots. Zuoqiu Wen's approach was to tell those people that as long as they followed him and were loyal to him, he would reward them with methods to activate their spiritual roots.

The patriarchs of those big families closed their eyes in pain. They knew very well that from now on, their big families would never have the chance to fight against Zuo Qiu Wen again, and they would never have that chance again, because the aristocratic family alliance that had been passed down for so many years would disappear from this moment on. Among these people, the one with the ugliest expression was actually Zuo Qiu Zhi.

Zuoqiu Zhi never expected that Zuoqiu Wen would do such a thing. They wanted to use the spiritual roots to force Zuoqiu Wen to abdicate, but they didn't expect that Zuoqiu Wen would take the initiative to use the spiritual roots to divide them. Now even if they organized people to force Zuoqiu Wen, it would be absolutely impossible because they no longer had this opportunity. Those big families could unite to fight against the imperial power, but once they couldn't unite, they would not be able to fight against the imperial power. Don't forget that Zuoqiu Wen didn't do nothing over the years. They had sent many people abroad before, and those people have now become powerful in the local area. They are also a powerful force. The big families could still suppress those people by uniting, but now, they can't suppress them anymore. They no longer have a chance to deal with Zuoqiu Wen. This is what Zuoqiu Zhi suffers the most. The good opportunity he thought is gone.

Some people in the court are now excited, while others are in grief. The court meeting ended in this weird atmosphere. After the meeting, Xu Kang and several other families who had obtained methods of activating spiritual roots naturally came together, and the other families naturally came together, but Zuoqiu Zhi was walking slowly out alone. He lowered his head at first, but slowly raised his head, and his steps became more and more firm. He strode out with a demeanor of a dragon and a tiger, but now everyone else was talking about their own things and no one noticed him. Xu Kang chatted with those families for a few words and then returned to his family. Not long after he returned home, Eunuch Decai came directly to Xu's house. Xu Kang didn't even have time to take off his official uniform. When he saw Eunuch Decai, he immediately saluted and said, "Eunuch Decai, please come in quickly." He now respects Eunuch Decai very much, because Eunuch Decai represents Zuoqiu Wen. His respect for Decai is also his respect for Zuoqiu Wen, because Xu Kang knows very well that they have chosen to stand on Zuoqiu Wen's side and must always stand on Zuoqiu Wen's side. Otherwise, not only will he offend Zuoqiu Wen, but those big families will not believe them, and then they will be really finished. So Xu Kang now has special respect for Decai.

Decai looked at Xu Kang's expression, smiled slightly, and then said: "Master Xu, His Majesty is very satisfied with General Xu's performance today. This time, we were sent here to give you the method of activating spiritual roots. General Xu can let your family try it. We can guarantee that it will work. If it doesn't work, you can just come to us. But we must also make it clear to General Xu that this method must not be passed on to others. The person who operates it must be someone the Xu family absolutely trusts. If this method is passed on to others, His Majesty will punish you, General Xu. Do you understand?"

Xu Kang said excitedly, "Yes, please rest assured, Eunuch Decai, I will never tell anyone about this."

Decai nodded, then took out a small booklet and handed it to Xu Kang, then said to Xu Kang: "Master Xu, this is how to activate spiritual roots, you must keep it well." Xu Kang responded, then he carefully took the inconspicuous booklet with both hands and put it away carefully. At this time, Decai said: "My family still has to go to other people's homes, so I will resign first." After that, he clasped his fists towards Xu Kang and was about to leave, but Xu Kang hurriedly said: "Please stay, sir."

Decai turned his head and glanced at Xu Kang. Xu Kang moved his hands, and the next moment a small space bag appeared in his hand. He handed the space bag to Decai with both hands, and then said to Decai: "Eunuch Decai, this is just a small gift. It's not just a token of respect, but please accept it."

Decai glanced at Xu Kang and took the space bag without any hesitation. Then he smiled and said to Xu Kang, "Thank you very much, General Xu. You're welcome." After that, he put away the space bag and turned to walk out.

After Xu Kang waited for Decai to leave, he quickly came to his study and ordered, "Go, invite the Second Master and the Fifth Master, quickly." The servant responded and left immediately. After Xu Kang waited for the servant to leave, he immediately took out another optical computer, fiddled with it for a few times, and then made a phone call. The call was quickly connected, but a female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who is it?"

Xu Kang's voice came, "Go home after get off work and bring some snacks." After that, he hung up the phone. This sentence was a code, telling the other party that they could go home and nothing would happen. The female voice was actually made with a voice changer. The person who answered the phone was none other than Xu Kang's third brother. In order to avoid suspicion, they agreed on such a code.

After Xu Kang put down the phone, he immediately took out the booklet and looked at the contents in the booklet carefully. When he saw the contents in the booklet, he couldn't help but be stunned, because there were not many contents in this booklet, but the introduction was very detailed, from what machine to use to how to debug, all were written on it. And when he saw the method, Xu Kang was stunned, because this method was really too simple, so simple that it was beyond his expectations. He really didn't expect that this method would be so simple that it could be done with just a wood-attributed spiritual energy repairer. This was a method they had never thought of before. From this point, it can be seen that Zuo Qiuwen said at the court meeting before that this method was not mature yet. If there was no way to promote it, it would be simply spreading rumors. This method can certainly be promoted, and it is very easy to promote. Xu Kang also understood that Zuo Qiuwen said that deliberately, and his purpose was to use this method to suppress those other families.
