Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 676: Yang Wanqing Becomes Idiot
When he finished telling his experiences, Yang Zhengshan, An Yuxing and Liang Shengze all looked at Zhou Tianci with great surprise.

"You were actually a pirate?" An Yuxing even doubted whether he had heard it wrong!
For a congenital warrior to become a pirate is an extremely shameful thing in Dayong and Wanli Sea Area. An Yuxing really finds it unbelievable.

Zhou Tianci said calmly, "The rules over there are different from ours."

"Here, innate warriors are high and mighty, but in Dazhao, innate warriors are just stronger warriors."

"Once we go to Dazhao, we must first put aside our high and mighty attitude and either join a certain faction and be humble, or become bandits."

"There are many pirate groups in the western waters of Dazhao. Their leaders are all innate warriors, and most of these innate warriors came from the Wanli Sea and Tianfeng Sea."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhengshan, An Yuxing and Liang Shengze fell silent.

The high-ranking innate warriors could only become pirates when they went to Dazhao. This information had a huge impact on them.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. What would happen if a half-step innate warrior came to Dayong?

If it was just a simple trip, he could travel around safely.

But if he wants to get some precious medicine, he will probably have to rely on robbing.

As for the spiritual fruits, he was not even qualified to snatch them.

Of course, he could also use trading to obtain resources such as precious medicines, but the prerequisite for trading was that he already owned some precious medicines, or he could refine elixirs and forge magical weapons.

In short, he must first possess certain resources before he can obtain other resources through transactions.

The same applies if you want to obtain resources in Dazhao.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. If he went to Dazhao, his situation would be much better than Zhou Tianci's.

Because he himself possesses a large number of spiritual fruits, and he can also refine many spiritual pills.

He can trade with various forces to obtain more spiritual fruits and more resources.

However, when developing in an unfamiliar place, you cannot be too conspicuous. You must develop slowly and low-key, otherwise you will definitely be targeted by certain forces.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan felt that he should also go to Dazhao to try his luck.

But there is no rush for this matter. It won’t be too late to go to Dazhao after we have dealt with the matters on Darong’s side.

The arrival of An Yuxing and the other two meant that Yang Chengye’s high-end military force was now ready.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan did not plan to find help at the beginning, mainly because there was no need for it.

Yang Zhengshan following Yang Chengye means that Yang Zhengshan, Yu Qingyi and Yang Mingcheng are all here.

Don’t forget that Wang Lei, Li Chang and other twenty followers are all following Yang Chengye at this time. These twenty followers are now innate warriors.

Although their strength is relatively weak among the innate warriors, they are originally soldiers, have good coordination and are best at combined attack techniques.

Twenty followers are not much worse than five top-notch innate warriors.

This top does not refer to the innate warriors at the entry level, but to the top innate warriors in Dayong, such as Wang He and Jian Chengfeng.

With twenty personal followers around, Yang Zhengshan felt there was no need to find any helpers. He didn't even call Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao, or even Ding Qiu, Luo Jinsong and others.

……

The fall of Kyoto and the self-immolation of Emperor Jianxing, once the two pieces of news were spread, immediately caused a shock throughout the world.

Immediately afterwards, a series of manifestos were transmitted to Daliang.

Although the warlords of Darong are now separatist and the major border towns have their own troops, in name, the nine border towns are still the border towns of the Darong court, and the officials and soldiers of the major border towns are still the officials and soldiers of Darong.

So when the news of the fall of Kyoto spread, various forces issued manifestos to Daliang to fight against the enemy.

The first person to issue the manifesto was Yang Chengye. He had been waiting for this moment. What he wanted was an opportunity to lead his troops into Beijing with legitimate reasons.

The second person to issue the manifesto was Chen Hengchang from Jiangnan. He was a rebel king, for sure, but he was also a member of the royal family of Dayong. His fight with the court was an internal matter of the royal family, and now that a bandit had captured Kyoto, he naturally had to express his opinion.

Not only did he issue a manifesto, he also began to dispatch troops towards Kyoto.

Then the Guo family of Yunling Town and the Sun family of Anxi Town also issued manifestos to attack Daliang, and also mobilized troops to prepare to go to the capital to defend the king. However, they were just making a gesture, as they did not have the ability to lead a large army to the capital.

Currently, the only ones who can enter Beijing to attack Emperor Tianwu of Daliang are Yang Chengye and Chen Hengchang.

Therefore, in the current turmoil in Dayong, Yang Chengye and Chen Hengchang have become the focus.

Nanjiang Town, Xingguo Mansion.

Qu Changkong looked at the letter sent by Yang Chengye, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Yang Chengye did not say in the letter that he wanted to fight for the world, he just wanted Qu Changkong to keep a close eye on the Guo family in Yunling Town. However, Qu Changkong knew very well that the Yang family had some plans.

"Grandfather, you're looking for me!" Qu Shaogong brought Yang Wanqing to the study and asked.

Qu Changkong looked at Qu Shaogong, then at Yang Wanqing, and then handed the letter in his hand to them.

"Take a look!"

Qu Shaogong took the letter and started reading.

Yang Wanqing looked sideways in confusion.

She is now the mistress of the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion, but she is only responsible for the household affairs within the mansion. She usually does not interfere in the military and political affairs of Nanjiang Town.

And Qu Changkong rarely let her participate in this.

For some reason today, Qu Changkong actually called her to the study, which surprised her a little.

She looked at the contents of the letter and a puzzled look appeared on her face.

"Grandfather, what does my eldest brother mean?"

"He's going to conquer Daliang, why did he ask us to keep an eye on Yunling Town?"

She was somewhat ignorant of the overall situation in the world. After all, she had rarely been involved in military and political affairs before, and was not interested in the many disputes in the court.

"Shao Gong, you tell the story!" Qu Changkong did not explain, but looked at Qu Shao Gong.

Qu Shaogong pondered for a moment, "Brother, do you want to fight for the world and establish a dynasty?"

Yang Wanqing was stunned and stared at her husband blankly.

"Brother, do you want to be the emperor?"

Qu Shaogong nodded slightly, "That should be correct. If he just wanted to go to the capital to defend the king, he should have sent troops long ago, not now!"

"If he only wants to attack Daliang, there is no need for us to keep an eye on Yunling Town!"

He looked at Qu Changkong and said, "Just as grandfather guessed, the Yang family has already had such a plan!"

Yang Wanqing looked at Qu Shaogong, then at Qu Changkong. For a moment, she was still unable to recover from the shocking news. At this moment, Yang Wanqing's mind was like a mess, and she couldn't sort out her thoughts at all.

Qu Changkong asked: "What do you think?"

Yang Wanqing was still in a daze. Qu Shaogong looked at Yang Wanqing beside him and said with a smile, "Grandfather must have made up his mind. I will obey your orders!"

What else can the Qu family think? Just follow the Yang family.

Although Qu Shaogong has a grandfather, uncle and aunt above him, Yang Wanqing is involved in everything in the Qu family, because Yang Wanqing has many children.

The Qu family has a small population, so Qu Changkong naturally hopes that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law will raise more children. Qu Shaogong and Yang Wanqing also understand this, so the couple has not been idle at all over the years.

After more than 20 years of marriage, the couple has given birth to six children, four sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Qu Chengyuan, is now 20 years old. He got married two years ago and gave birth to a son this year.

The youngest child, Qu Chengli, is only four years old this year.

Today, the Qu family is prosperous, and the credit should naturally be attributed to Yang Wanqing.

The four sons and two daughters are the capital for Yang Wanqing to establish herself in the Qu family. With so many children, Qu Changkong has to pamper this granddaughter-in-law.

Under such circumstances, how can the Qu family sever ties with the Yang family?
Unless Yang Wanqing no longer wants her parents' home, but is this possible?
Qu Changkong nodded slightly, "That's it, arrange for someone to go to Yunling Town and test the Guo family's attitude first!"

"Grandfather, what do you want?" Qu Shaogong asked.

Qu Changkong chuckled, "Guo Ying is a smart man. He might be able to make the right choice, which would save us a lot of trouble."

Qu Shaogong nodded, "Yes, I will send someone to Yunling Town right away!"

After saying that, Qu Shaogong took Yang Wanqing out of the study. Yang Wanqing followed her husband closely until they returned to their own courtyard. Only then did Yang Wanqing come to her senses.

"Husband!"

"Well, what happened?"

Yang Wanqing asked in confusion: "My elder brother is the emperor, so doesn't that mean I am a princess?"

Qu Shaogong couldn't help laughing at her silly look, "You just realized it!"

As the saying goes, a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy. Yang Wanqing has been stupid for three years after three years. The last three years of stupidity had not yet ended, and she became stupid again for the next three years.

The older you get, the dumber you become.

"But, but, why is my elder brother suddenly going to become the emperor?" Yang Wanqing still couldn't figure it out.

Qu Shaogong said: "It's not sudden. If I'm not mistaken, the Yang family should have had such a plan a long time ago, and this matter must have been supported by your grandfather!"

Hearing him mention his grandfather, Yang Wanqing finally came to her senses and her mind became clearer.

She knew Yang Zhengshan and knew that her grandfather was a man of great ambition and liked to plan ahead before doing anything. Since Yang Zhengshan supported it, this matter must have been planned long ago within the Yang family.

"Will it be dangerous?" Yang Wanqing became worried again.

She was worried about both the Qu family and the Yang family.

Qu Shaogong pondered for a moment and said, "There is definitely some danger, but the chance of success should be very high. It all depends on the strength of the Yang family!"

He didn't know much about the strength of the Yang family. Although the two families were in-laws, he hadn't been to the Yang family for more than ten years because the Yang family moved to Xingyue Island.

As for Chongshan Town, he also didn't know much about it. It was too far away, and it was very difficult for him to understand the situation in Chongshan Town.

But he felt that the Yang family should be very strong, but he didn't know to what extent.

"Don't worry, I will cooperate with Big Brother and his team. Although our Nanjiang Town cannot send troops to support Big Brother and his team, we can respond to Big Brother and help him stabilize the situation here!"

Qu Shaogong comforted.

Nanjiang Town is currently unable to send troops, and all they can do is keep an eye on Yunling Town. As for the rest, they really can't do anything.

Of course, the Qu family has no problem protecting themselves.

The Qu family cannot leave Nanjiang Town, but it is also difficult for other forces to enter Nanjiang Town.

After comforting Yang Wanqing, Qu Shaogong went to his study, wrote a letter, and sent it to the Guo family in Yunling Town.

Nanjiang Town and Yunling Town are connected, but in fact there is a Nanyun Province between the two towns.

Nanjiang Town, Yunling Town, and Nanyun Province, these three places suddenly form an inverted triangle in the south of Dayong territory. The two towns are connected only by a small section of the border in the south.

If the two towns go to war, it would be more appropriate to march from Nanyun Province.

The Guo family of Wudinghou Mansion is also a prominent family among the great nobles. Compared with the Qu family with a small population, the Guo family is just the opposite, with a very prosperous population.

Moreover, the Guo family has always produced many talented people, especially in the past twenty years, many young talents have emerged in the Guo family.

During the reign of Emperor Yanping, the Guo family of the Marquis of Wuding and the Li family of the Marquis of Haining were two noble families that rose again among the great nobles. They were like rising stars, overshadowing all the other nobles.

Even Guo Ying, the head of the Wuding Marquis Mansion, is stronger than Li Chao. Li Chao did not have a very high status in the court before becoming a congenital warrior, while Guo Ying had been operating in Yunling Town for many years before becoming a congenital warrior.

Today, the Guo family is full of talented people, and the most outstanding grandchild among them is Guo Ying’s second grandson Guo Ziqiao.

Guo Ziqiao broke through to the acquired realm at the age of twenty and entered the Martial Arts Pavilion. At the age of thirty, his cultivation reached the fifth level of the acquired realm. Now, at the age of forty, he is already half a step away from the innate realm.

Even better than Li Feihe.

When Yang Zhengshan was choosing a son-in-law for Yang Wanqing, Li Feihe and Guo Ziqiao were both on Yang Zhengshan's consideration list.

Even Yang Zhengshan was very optimistic about Guo Ziqiao back then, but Yu Qingyi felt that the Guo family was in Yunling Town, too far away from Kyoto, so Guo Ziqiao was rejected.

But who knew that in the end Yang Wanqing fell in love with Qu Shaogong and married him far away in Nanjiang Town, which was almost the same as marrying him in Yunling Town.

Guo Ziqiao is not only extremely talented, but also has strong ability to get things done.

If Qu Shaogong didn't have the resources of the Yang family, he might not be able to compare to Guo Ziqiao.

At the Guo family in Yunling Town, Guo Ziqiao looked at the two letters with a slightly frown on his face.

The forty-year-old Guo Ziqiao has the aura of a superior, giving people a sense of authority without being angry.

He has a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an upright posture, which can be said to be very domineering.

This was also one of the reasons why Yang Zhengshan was attracted to Guo Ziqiao in the first place. Guo Ziqiao's figure and appearance were in line with Yang Zhengshan's aesthetic standards and he was very manly.

The two letters in his hands, one was from Qu Shaogong and the other was from Chen Hengchang.

Chen Hengchang wanted to win over the Guo family and even promised to make Yunling Town the Guo family's fiefdom.

Qu Shaogong did not say anything to win over the Yang family. He just explained the actions of the Yang family in Chongshan Town, and also showed the Qu family's attitude towards the Yang family.
