Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 733 Little Bird Relying on Eagle
Yang Zhengshan was completely bewildered. What were you two talking about? You seemed to be having a great time!
The birds kept chirping, and then the two of them actually got together.

Yang Zhengshan sensed something was wrong.

Flying Serpent Eagle stood next to Golden Feather Eagle, giving off a feeling of a little bird nestled against a person, no, it was more like a little bird nestled against an eagle.

This...this...
Yang Zhengshan was completely devastated!

That golden-feathered eagle is seducing Tianyun from his family!
"Ahem, well, Jin Yu likes Brother Yang's eagle, so, haha~~" Lan Peng seemed quite embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly.

Yang Zhengshan frowned.

Yu Qingyi has been raising flying eagles for over ten years, and he is very familiar with their habits.

Flying slave eagles are monogamous, maintaining a long-term and stable mate relationship once established. They typically have only one mate and only seek a new partner after the death of their mate.

Unlike Hongyun, Fei Nuying was not a womanizer. Hongyun had a lot of mistresses, while Fei Nuying was monogamous.

He didn't know if the Golden Feathered Eagle was like that, but the Flying Slave Eagle certainly was.

If these two eagles really get together, they will definitely stay together in the future, and Yang Zhengshan will no longer be able to send Tianyun back to the Spirit Source Land.

Actually, Yang Zhengshan didn't care much about giving away a Flying Slave Eagle. It was just a Flying Slave Eagle. There were already hundreds of Flying Slave Eagles in the Spirit Source Land, all of which had been trained by Yu Qingyi over the years.

But this flying eagle belonged to Yang Wanqi, and she pampered it like a treasure every day, always wanting to ride it to the sky.

If he were to give away the Flying Serpent Eagle, Yang Wanqi would definitely be unwilling.

As for letting the Golden Feather Eagle follow the Flying Slave Eagle, that's even more impossible.

It's a real mythical beast, a well-tamed one. Its value is far greater than that of a dead beast, probably dozens of times more.

"Hey, Brother Yang, do you think I could buy this eagle?"

Just as Yang Zhengshan had expected, Lan Peng revealed his purpose.

"General Lan, I'm truly sorry, but I really can't make the decision on this matter!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Lan Peng wasn't angry at being rejected. He looked at the Flying Servant Eagle and said, "I'll offer twenty spirit stones!"

“Brother Yang, it’s not that I’m forcing you, but the Golden Feather Eagles practice monogamy. If they can be together, they will be husband and wife for life!”

"My golden-feathered dog has only been an adult for a few years. I've been looking for a mate for it, and it's rare that it has found a mate it likes. I really can't give up on it!"

In fact, Lan Peng was also helpless. If he had to choose, he would definitely not like Yang Zhengshan's Flying Slave Eagle, because he could tell that the Flying Slave Eagle was not a strange beast.

His Golden Feather is a genuine exotic beast, and one of the best among the innate level exotic beasts. Its combat power is already close to that of a Heavenly Gang stage martial artist. If it grows for a few more years, it may be comparable to a peak Heavenly Gang stage martial artist.

If his Golden Feather has a mate among exotic beasts, then most of Golden Feather's offspring will be exotic beasts. But if it is this Flying Slave Eagle, then most of Golden Feather's offspring will not be exotic beasts.

If he were to choose a mate for Jin Yu, he would naturally pick a strange beast, but this is not something he can decide.

The Lu family possessed a rare beast called the Golden Feather Eagle. He had selected several female eagles for his Golden Feather Eagle within the Lu family, but Golden Feather Eagle didn't like any of them.

If this time they were to be forced to separate, he worried that Jin Yu would never be able to find a wife again.

Lan Peng was also very frustrated. His son had never caused him so much trouble, but Jin Yu was much more stubborn than his son. If his son was disobedient, a slap would definitely make him listen, but he couldn't discipline Jin Yu with a slap.

"This..." Yang Zhengshan didn't know what to say. What was going on?

"General Lan, may I have a few days to consider this?"

Lan Peng nodded slightly, "Alright, there's no rush. I'll visit Brother Yang again after I finish my official business!"

Yang Zhengshan cupped his hands in farewell and said, "Then I'll take my leave now!"

"Let's go, Feiyun!"

Wang Lei and the others silently lifted the large snake from the ground and headed towards Lingxi Mountain.

Feiyun and Jinyu were actually saying goodbye with great reluctance.

Gugu~~
Gugu~~
The two eagles cried out one after the other, and Feiyun followed behind Yang Zhengshan, looking back every step of the way!

Yang Zhengshan was speechless!
You two just met, didn't you?

Weren't you just trembling with fear?

How did we suddenly develop such deep feelings?
It makes me feel like the villain who broke up a loving couple.

And why don't you fly? What's the point of walking step by step like a goose?
The Flying Slave Eagle didn't fly, but Golden Feather took flight, circling in the air and occasionally letting out a cry.

Lan Peng probably had something urgent to attend to, and in the end, he still called Jin Yuying away.

Yang Zhengshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you forgotten about Qi'er?!"

"If you go with it, you'll never see Qi'er again!"

"You shameless bastard, I'll tell Qi'er when I get back!"

"Don't let its tall and mighty appearance fool you, it's a complete playboy. You'll definitely suffer if you follow it!"

Gugu~~
The flying eagle cried out.

Yang Zhengshan lectured it as he walked.

He deliberately slowed down, and after Wang Lei returned with his men, he immediately sent the troublemaker back to the Spirit Source Land.

Upon returning to Lingxi Mountain, Lü Hua was already waiting for him at the door.

"Patriarch, we just received news that the Lu family's Crimson Flame Army has entered the mountains!" Lu Hua said.

"The Crimson Flame Army?"

Lu Hua explained in detail: "The Crimson Flame Army is the elite force of the Lu family. It is said that the soldiers in the Crimson Flame Army are all martial artists who cultivate the Fire Spirit Technique, and each soldier's cultivation level is above the fifth level of the Acquired Realm!"

"The Lu family has five thousand Crimson Flame Army soldiers, three thousand of whom are personally commanded by Lu Fusheng and can be considered Lu Fusheng's personal troops, while the other two thousand are commanded by Lan Peng."

"This time it's Lan Peng who came. He didn't go into the county town; he led two thousand Chiyan soldiers directly into the mountains from the south!"

After listening, Yang Zhengshan said, "We just ran into Lan Peng!"

Lu Hua paused slightly, "Here?"

"Yes, it's on the mountain next door!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Lu Hua exclaimed in astonishment, "No, the Crimson Flame Army is in the south right now!"

"It shouldn't be too far from here!"

"It's not far, only about twenty li!"

Twenty miles or so is not far at all. At the speed of the Golden Feather Eagle, it should only take a minute or two. And with the Golden Feather Eagle's eyesight, it should be able to see it clearly.

The Golden Feathered Eagle was attracted by the Flying Slave Eagle, and the Blue Roc followed the Golden Feathered Eagle. Yang Zhengshan's heart stirred slightly, "Doesn't that mean the Crimson Flame Army entered the mountains from near South Green Mountain?"

“That’s right, we got the news from Nanqingshan. Otherwise, how would we have known that the Chiyan Army would come!” Lu Hua said.

Their intelligence capabilities are not yet sufficient to monitor the Lu family. At most, they can keep an eye on the county town and Nanqingshan, while the others are only collecting information.

What was the Xiang family's reaction?

"What other reaction could they have? They've given the Chiyan Army a lot of supplies!" Lü Hua said.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard as he entered the courtyard, where a lively scene of parents beating their sons was unfolding. Yang Xiangdong and Yang Xiangxi were slapping their sons repeatedly, making the two boys cry out for their parents.

"Grand Uncle, these two children have run off to the back mountain," Yang Xiangheng said with a helpless expression.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, "It's good that the child is alright. Go and help me deal with that big snake. Keep half of the snake meat for me, and share the other half with everyone!"

Yang Xiangheng was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

"That's not right, is it? That giant snake was hunted down by my great-uncle!"

Yang Zhengshan walked into the Intermediate People's Court and said, "Give everyone some nourishment, I can't eat that much!"

"Thank you, Uncle!" Yang Xiangheng said, standing outside the courtyard gate.

Back in the main room, Yang Zhengshan continued to say to Lü Hua, "The Xiang family is trying to curry favor with the Chiyan Army!"

“Yes, the Crimson Flame Army has a great reputation, so the Xiang family will naturally try to curry favor with them!” Lu Hua said.

Yang Zhengshan sat down, deep in thought. He wanted to get rid of the Xiang family, but he couldn't find an opportunity.

These days, the Yu family has wiped out eight families, but the Yu family has been hovering on the edge of Shanggu County and has never gone deep into Shanggu County, which makes it impossible for Yang Zhengshan to find an opportunity to kill someone by borrowing a knife.

Now that Lan Peng has arrived with the Crimson Flame Army, the Yu family's sword is likely to fall into the hands of the Crimson Flame Army.

If we can't lend the Yu family's knife, can we lend the Chiyan Army's knife?
"Can we deliver the things to the Yu family?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Send them to the Yu family?" Lu Hua thought for a moment and said, "That's difficult. We don't have the identity to enter the Yu family right now!"

The men under his command are soldiers of the Shenmu Navy, not spies of the Secret Martial Guard. Moreover, he has only been here for a few months and has not yet reached the point where the Secret Martial Guard has a presence in various forces.

Yang Zhengshan knew this would be difficult. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Now that the Chiyan Army has arrived, it's not as simple as just driving the Yu family away!"

"The Lu family definitely wants to destroy the Yu family to intimidate those martial arts families!"

"If the Yu family is no longer viable, what about the Yu family's shops?"

"There must be quite a few shops owned by the Yu family in Longxi Town!"

The Yu family is not a small family, and the Lu family's territory is not just a few mountains. The "Longxi" in the Yu family of Longxi does not refer to mountains, but to Longxi Town.

Nalongxi Town can be considered a small martial arts market, with many shops belonging to the Yu family.

Lu Hua nodded, "Yes, if it's a shop, we can give it a try."

“Then send a letter over, a warning from the Xiang family to the Yu family!” Yang Zhengshan said.

“The Crimson Flame Army!” Lu Hua exclaimed in realization. “That’s a good idea. As long as this letter falls into the hands of the Crimson Flame Army, the Xiang family is doomed! However, we cannot guarantee that this letter will fall into the hands of the Crimson Flame Army.”

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just an attempt. It would be great if it succeeds, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't!"

They don't have much room to maneuver right now, mainly because the Yang family of Lingxi is too weak; they're so weak that they don't even have any significant connections or relationships to offer.

This forces them to rely solely on their own strength, but they lack resources and connections here, so there's not much they can do.

Things that are too dangerous cannot be done, things that are too difficult cannot be done, and things that are too troublesome are not easy to operate, so we can only use some simple but insidious methods.

Using someone else to do the dirty work is the easiest and cheapest thing for them to do.

“Then I’ll talk to Senior Chen and ask him to go there in person!” Lu Hua said.

"Ok!"

Yang Zhengshan returned to the Spirit Source Land and went to find Yang Wanqi. Now the Yang family no longer lives in one place, but is scattered throughout the Spirit Source Land according to their duties and cultivation levels.

For example, Yang Mingcheng and Wang lived in Moon Bay on the west side, where they cultivated the mountains and forests on both sides of Moon Bay.

Yang Minghao and Liang Shi lived in Changshou City and were responsible for training the guards of the Dharma Protectorate.

Yang Mingzhao and Zhu Shi lived below Lingquan Waterfall, next to the clan hall, and were in charge of the law enforcement hall.

Yang Wanqi had already married Wang Mingzhe's youngest son, Wang Chengyun. Wang Chengyun also had a job, teaching medicine and alchemy at a school in Changshou City.

Yang Zhengshan has always valued education. Wherever he went, he would establish schools to enlighten and teach children martial arts.

And the same is true in the Land of Spiritual Origin now.

Every time a village is established, a school is built so that children can learn to read and write. After the children turn eight, they will also learn martial arts.

Once the children become martial artists, they will enter intermediate schools to practice various martial arts techniques and learn various skills.

Forging, alchemy, medicine, planting, beekeeping, winemaking, tea making, and other skills are all taught in the intermediate schools of Changshou City.

The Lingyuan Land now has more than 50,000 people and has basically achieved self-sufficiency. Even without the input of external resources, it can maintain the living needs of all its inhabitants.

All industries are developing, and the children of each family are also involved in various industries. Yang Zhengshan brought these people to Lingyuan Land not to let them enjoy themselves, but to have them help build Lingyuan Land.

Therefore, there are no idle people in the land of spiritual origin; everyone has their own job.

Wang Chengyun was Wang Mingzhe's son, so he naturally learned medicine and alchemy. After marrying Yang Wanqi, he became a teacher at the intermediate school in Changshou City, teaching the basics of medicine and alchemy.

Yang Wanqi was not idle either. She had grown up with Yu Qingyi since she was a child, dealing with flying eagles all day long, and learning the art of animal taming. So she was raising horses in the school.

No job is inherently superior or inferior; as long as you're interested in it, that's fine.

Raising horses doesn't sound very respectable, but the horses in the Spirit Source Land are no ordinary horses. They are similar to Flying Slave Eagles. Although they are not exotic beasts, they are gradually forming the bloodline of exotic beasts.

Horse riding was a required subject for students in the academy, so the academy kept several hundred strong horses.

Yang Wanqi's job was not to take care of these horses, but to train them.

When Yang Zhengshan arrived, Yang Wanqi was training a foal at the horse farm.

"Cough cough~"

Seeing Yang Wanqi working diligently, Yang Zhengshan coughed lightly to remind her.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Yang Wanqi was delighted to see him.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard, a kind smile on his face. "I need to talk to you! By the way, where's Tianyun?"

Today, Yang Wanqi was dressed in a neat dark gray outfit, with her beautiful hair casually tied back, which made her originally cute face look more heroic, rather than as soft and cute as before.
