Chapter 250 Returning home in glory, breaking one's promise and getting rich, meeting an old friend again

Aunt Qiu's face turned serious:
"Qingru, you and your wife came back so unexpectedly, is there something important?"

He Qingru glanced around subconsciously, pondered for a while, and said:
"My husband said that he would go to Jingzhou Prefecture with my mistress soon. This might be related to this, but I didn't ask about the specific details."

Jingzhou Prefecture?
Aunt Qiu frowned and thought carefully.

Then he said:
"Yongyi is a new foundation-building person. He is going to Jingzhou Prefecture, a long way away. Your mistress will definitely not bring a useless person with her."

Hear the strings and know the elegant meaning.

He Qingru is a smart person, and her eyes immediately lit up:
"Mother, you mean that the mistress discovered some mineral source in Jingzhou Prefecture and asked the husband to go and investigate."

“Mostly”

"But the area of ​​Jingzhou Prefecture is not our Fu family's territory. Even if we find the specific mineral source, we can't dig it."

"You are still thinking too superficially, kid."

Aunt Qiu shook her head.

Discovering a mineral source is equivalent to holding a bargaining chip.

The Fu family's trip to Jingzhou Prefecture was probably related to this. She patted He Qingru's hand and said:
"This matter is just our guess. Remember, don't reveal a single word even in front of your husband."

All men in the world are the same.

The wife acted too smart, which made the other party feel uneasy.

Aunt Qiu took out a storage bag from her sleeve and handed it to He Qingru:
"These are all the gifts I have received over the years. I had someone secretly exchange them for spirit stones. You can keep them and save them. After another ten or eight years, let your husband help you and try to exchange them for a foundation-building pill from the Fu family. This is all your life will be like, but you are still young and have a chance to build a foundation."

He Qingru took the storage bag.

I was so moved that my eyes became red.

Others thought that she was supporting her mother's family, but in fact her mother wanted to save all her monthly salary for her.

just.

He Qingru sighed.

He immediately told the story of Fu Yongdan, Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongshang fighting for the foundation-building pill:
"The clan probably has no more foundation-building pills, otherwise they wouldn't have left behind the Eternal Pill. She is the head of the Alchemy Hall and the eldest disciple of the mistress."

Aunt Qiu saw that she looked discouraged.

He frowned.

With a bit of anger on his face:
"He Qingru, ever since you were old enough to understand, I have always said to you that no matter what you do, you should first complete your duties conscientiously. The final result depends on chance."

“You don’t work hard”

"When the Fu family has another foundation-building pill, it won't be your turn."

He Qingru lived a comfortable life in the Fu family for several years, and apparently forgot how she and her daughter used to hide in the backyard of the He family.

At this moment, he was given a lecture.

I also slowly found my original intention:
"Mom, you are right. Everything depends on human effort."

Aunt Qiu smiled upon seeing this.

There was a pause.

Instead, he reminded:
"Your husband is not good at dealing with people, so as his wife, you should help him with socializing and observe proper etiquette during festivals. You are no longer a new bride and have given birth to several children. Be more proactive. The Fu family will only think that you are willing to integrate into this big family."

"You can't learn from Fan Ge'er's wife Yu Lian"

"Yulian's father and mother are both the heads of the Lingzhi Hall, and her parents-in-law are the heads of the family. Even if she does a bad job, others will not say anything."

The He family's reception room.

He Qingru was quite surprised when she heard the purpose of Fu Yongyi's visit.

During the beast tide outbreak, the amount of monster materials accumulated by the Fu family was probably more than ten times that of the He family.

So much material.

Whether it is refining equipment or making talismans, there will be no need to worry about spiritual materials for at least a dozen years. I don't understand why the Fu family continues to purchase:
"Yongyi, can you tell me why your Fu family purchased the materials?"

Fu Yongyi hesitated for a moment.

Opening:
"Father-in-law, we will be going to Jingzhou Prefecture soon."

Going to Jingzhou Prefecture?

Are you going to speculate?

but.

The journey alone would take several years, and there were too many unknown risks along the way.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch He's intuition told him that the Fu family's move was definitely not as simple as selling materials, but Fu Yongyi did not mention it again, and he tactfully did not ask any more questions.

after all.

The Fu family is willing to purchase their monster materials in bulk at market prices.

This is a good thing for them:
"Yongyi, your coming here just happened to solve our He family's urgent need. After the beast tide is over, we need to repair our mountain protection formation and spiritual fields. Everything needs to be rebuilt, and spiritual stones are needed for everything. I was worried that if I couldn't do it, I would have to sell this batch of monster materials at a low price. Fortunately, you came in time."

Everyone gets what they want.

All are happy.

the end.

Fu Yongyi mentioned:
"Father-in-law, to be honest, our Fu family is purchasing monster materials this time, only you and the Shangguan family are involved. Please ask your father-in-law to tell the clan members not to leak the news."

"understand"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch He was even more delighted.

The Fu family obviously put their He family and Shangguan family on an equal diplomatic footing, which made him smile even more.

When Fu Yongyi was about to say goodbye and leave.

Don't let me say anything.

He asked the clan members to prepare a sumptuous family banquet to entertain him.

at the banquet.

He Jiumei looked at the table filled with delicious food, which she couldn't even eat during Chinese New Year, not to mention that the family was in financial distress right now.

This can be seen.

How much my father values ​​He Qingru and her husband.

He Jiumei felt more and more bitter.

She raised her hand to tidy up her temples, picked up a glass of spiritual wine and walked to the main table, and went straight to Fu Yongyi, with a seductive look:
"Brother-in-law, this is the miracle wine I mixed myself. Please try it. If it tastes good, I have a lot more in my room. I will send it to you."

talking.

Pass the miraculous wine to Fu Yongyi.

Such a blatant suggestion.

He Qingru was not stupid, so how could she not understand He Jiumei's intention? She narrowed her eyes slightly and let it go.

As my own sister.

She actually took the initiative to seduce her husband.

If word of this were to spread to the Fu family, I'm afraid everyone would look down on her.

Simultaneously.

Her eyes fell on Fu Yongyi's face, afraid that he would nod.

As a woman.

No one wants to share a husband with others.

Patriarch He himself has three wives and four concubines, and he has so many wives and daughters that it is not impossible for him to marry another daughter to consolidate the relationship with the Fu family, especially now that the Fu family already has an eighth-rank family, so he has no intention of stopping it.

He Qingshang, sitting opposite He Qingru.

She stared at He Qingru as if she was watching a show. Although she looked down on He Jiumei's behavior, she obviously hoped to see He Qingru, who was living a better life than herself, suffer a setback.

He Qingru was thinking about getting up.

But Aunt Qiu touched it under the table without leaving any trace.

At this moment.

Nothing He Qingru said was inappropriate.

Either you offend your husband or you offend your wife's family.

Everyone's eyes fell on Fu Yongyi, wondering whether he would accept the glass of wine.

Fu Yongyi glanced at He Qingru from a distance and said with a smile:
"I'm really sorry, Sister Nine. My wife told me not to drink when I'm out."

This statement came out.

He Jiumei's face changed instantly. She had finally mustered up the courage to throw herself into the man's arms, but the other party was so tactless. How could she be inferior to that bitch He Qingru?

He snorted coldly.

Turn around and leave.

There are so many good men in the world, who cares?

He Qingru's face was full of smiles at this time. Fu Yongyi's words were obviously meant to help her save face at her parents' home.

At this moment, He Jiumei sat down.

She smiled and said:
"Sister Nine, I would like to try the spiritual wine you mixed yourself."

"you!"

This is clearly a case of bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

He Jiumei was so angry that she almost swore. She sneered at He Qingru and said, "I want to see how long you can be so arrogant."

After Fu Molan set out from Yunshan County, he went directly to Tianlong City.

The beast tide did not reach the territory of Anyang County.

Therefore, if the Shangguan family had any monster materials, they were only in Tianlong City. When they arrived at Tianlong City, they found that the Shangguan family's city defense formation had been rebuilt, but a lot of the outer walls had collapsed, and the Shangguan family members were repairing them. There were many people, but they were busy but not chaotic.

Waited for a while.

Fu Molan was taken to the reception room.

The one who received her was Shangguan Hongyu. Shangguan Hongyu sat at the top, and the aura emanating from her body was no less than that of the real Zifu. She was intimidating without even getting angry. In front of her, Fu Molan instinctively felt a little awe.

After saluting.

Shangguan Hongyu asked first:
"Is your master in seclusion?"

If not.

Usually, when the Fu family had something to ask, Fu Changsheng would come in person.

Fu Molan quickly responded.

Shangguan Hongyu murmured something in a low voice, but Fu Molan didn't hear it clearly, so she turned to talk about the purpose of this trip.

Shangguan Hongyu heard this and waved her hand:
"I appreciate your Fu family's kindness, but we have other uses for the monster materials."

Finished.

He turned around and ordered his tribesmen to go to the warehouse and take out the treasure ship.

Fu Molan was stunned for a moment. When the beast tide broke out, Tianlong City was also hit hard. It was said that there was a third-level demon king at that time. But she didn't know what the Shangguan family would do with these demon beast materials?
Vaguely.

Fu Molan felt that perhaps it was only the secret of an eighth-rank family.

Rented a treasure ship from the Shangguan family.

When Fu Molan arrived at the city gate, she paused, only to see Shangguan Hui, with his white beard, directing everyone to repair the city wall.

Haven't seen you for over 30 years.

At this time, Shangguan Hui's back was a little hunched.

His cultivation level has also dropped to the initial stage of foundation building. He no longer has the same high spirits as when he competed with Shangguan Feng for the position of the chief elder of the Shangguan family.

Fu Molan sighed.

Then he turned to the Shangguan family members who were leading the way and said:
"Fellow Daoist, I have a few words to say to Elder Hui. Please wait a moment."

talking.

Step forward quickly.

When he got to Shangguan Hui, he was obviously stunned for a moment. After Fu Molan told him his name and origin, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

If Fu Changsheng had not provided the information about the spirit stone vein, he would not have been seriously injured, and he would not have ended up separated from his wife and children, and in a state of neither human nor ghost. Therefore, for the people of the Fu family.

He instinctively disliked it.

Snorted coldly:
"I have nothing to say to the man surnamed Fu."

Fu Molan quickly transmitted a few words, bowed, and then turned and left.

just.

Shangguan Hui has neither power nor strength now. Even if he is told about Zhang Yuanyuan's whereabouts, the other party will not be able to do anything. After Fu Molan left.

For a while.

Shangguan Hui finally came back to his senses from his shock.

Back then, he was seriously injured and in seclusion, and that bitch named Zhang took away all his life savings and ran away without a trace. Over the years, he has been sending people to track down the whereabouts of the other party.

did not expect.

This bitch not only ran away with the money.

And he was also given a tall green hat!

Shangguan Hui is not dead yet:
"Zhang Yuanyuan!!"

Shangguan Hui gritted his teeth, his eyes bursting with rage.

Gongsun family.

In the meeting room, Patriarch Gongsun sat at the head of the group, with several storage bags suspended in front of him. The discouragement of the people present was swept away.

When the beast tide broke out completely.

The second eldest son, Sun Ming, united everyone and asked the patriarch to hand over the clan treasure, the Mountain-Suppressing Seal, which normally only the patriarch could use. However, this time, the family elders joined forces to activate the Mountain-Suppressing Seal, bringing its power to the extreme.

Not only did they successfully repel the beast tide.

As a result, he also captured a third-level demon king and obtained a large number of demon beast materials.

It turns out.

The second eldest husband, Sun Ming, was right to force the emperor to abdicate.

Even though Gongsun Ming was not sitting in the main seat, the elders were still very respectful to him. Clan leader Gongsun was unhappy and knew that he needed to do one or two practical things to restore his reputation as clan leader:
"Everyone, although we have obtained a lot of monster materials, they are not worth selling in Huainan at the moment, so I plan to use the privileges of an eighth-grade family and go to Jingzhou Prefecture through the teleportation array of the Zhenshi Division."

Gongsun Ming frowned.

Immediately objected:
"Master, if I remember correctly, it would cost a lot to use the teleportation array of the Zhenshi Bureau, and we would have to pay a transit fee to the court to sell the products across the prefecture. So it would be better to sell it directly to the Wanning Chamber of Commerce to save trouble and effort."

The elders nodded slightly.

Patriarch Gongsun said calmly:
"Going to Jingzhou to sell monster materials is just a side job. According to the information I received, Yunlong Market will hold an auction soon, and foundation-building pills will appear at that time. I want to take this opportunity to add a few more foundation-building pills to our Gongsun family."

This statement came out.

All those who originally held opposing opinions fell silent for a moment.

after all.

This is a family matter.

Seeing this, the second eldest brother Sun Ming pondered for a while and said:
"In that case, there is no need to use the teleportation array of the Zhenshi Division. A few years ago, Liu Meizhen, a woman from the Fu family, was able to enter and leave Jingzhou safely. It just took a little more time."

"What's more, our clan is in short supply of spirit stones."

Patriarch Gongsun wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate his confidants, but after the tribesmen he led out successfully established their foundation, they would certainly not forget their kindness to him.

But if you don’t use the teleportation array.

Back and forth.

But it would waste several years.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Gongsun Ming said straightforwardly:
"If the Patriarch feels that it is too dangerous to go to Jingzhou, then you can let me take the Mountain-Suppressing Seal and I will go to Jingzhou Prefecture in person."

This statement came out.

Patriarch Gongsun narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Mountain-Suppressing Seal represents the status of the head of the family. When the beast tide broke out at that time, it involved the survival of the family, so he had no choice but to give the Mountain-Suppressing Seal to other elders in the clan.

If you hand over the Mountain Seal at this moment.

Then wouldn't his position as the head of the family be in jeopardy!

Patriarch Gongsun gritted his teeth and said:
"The Second Elder still has to take care of all matters in the clan. I will go to Jingzhou myself."

A year and a half later.

Jingzhou border.

Liu Meizhen said to Fu Yongyi who was standing on the deck of the treasure ship: "The border is ahead. Yongyi, go into the cabin and tell Uncle Yu that we have arrived."

"Yes, mother"

Fu Yongyi looked curiously at the long city wall that stretched across the rolling mountains, then turned and entered the cabin.

on the deck.

Yun Bozi looked at the city wall in front of him that was strange yet a little familiar.

His face was full of memories.

He had not been here for nearly a hundred years since he was taken away from Jingzhou when he was young. Looking at the city wall that had not changed for a hundred years, he sighed:
"It is said that this wall has existed since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has been reinforced year after year by officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am afraid that even a Jindan Zhenren would be deterred by this defensive fortification. No wonder the Donghuang tribe has been able to only jump around in Huainan for so many years and has never set foot in Jingzhou."

The Great Zhou was located in the Central Plains.

Huainan is a city on the border of the Eastern Wilderness.

Yun Bozi seemed to remember something and said suddenly:
"Madam, you said that the beast tide changed its route and went to the East Wilderness Tribe. Was it because a demon king had explored the way ahead of time and saw this towering city wall, so he decided to retreat?"

The target of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Monsters is the fertile land in the Central Plains.

How could I be discouraged?

Most likely, the imperial court took the initiative.

After a while.

Master Yu also came out of the cabin.

A group of people got off the treasure ship. At this time, at the entrance of the city wall, the border guard came forward and said, "Show me your ID cards."

Liu Meizhen and the others did as they were told.

After a while.

The guard waved his sleeves and an Eight-Sling Mirror floated in front of him. As he cast a spell into the Eight-Sling Mirror, the mirror vibrated with a humming sound.

Then a beam of white light fell on Liu Meizhen, Yun Bozi, and Fu Yongyi one by one.

It’s almost time for Grandmaster Yu.

However, he saw that the magic power in his body was running violently, and a strange symbol was condensed in his dantian. As soon as the symbol appeared, a yellow mist condensed in his body.

White beams of light fell on him.

Nothing unusual.

Liu Meizhen, who was standing at the front, had her heart beating rapidly at this moment, as if she was vaguely afraid of something.

Wait until the guard said:
"go in"

She quickly turned around to look at Master Yu, then immediately looked away, and the tension in her heart finally settled down.

The four of them entered Jingzhou and traveled north for another half a month before arriving at Qiuri Mountain on the edge of Taiyun County. Only then did Liu Meizhen put away the treasure ship.

Turning his head, he said:
"Uncle Yu, you guys find a place to rest in Qiu Ri Mountain. I'll go to the Liu family in Taiyun County to get some information."

In a sense.

Liu Meizhen is also a descendant of the Liu family in Taiyun County, Jingzhou.

When Liu Meizhen saved the Liu family of Taiyun County from danger, she also seized a clan mountain from the Yang family, the Liu family's arch-enemy. For this, the Liu family of Taiyun County sent three hostages to the Fu family and promised to pay tribute every year. The next generation of the Liu family head would be appointed by the Fu family.

The head of the Liu family heard that Liu Meizhen was coming.

stunned for a moment.

Years passed.

Relying on the two sacred mountains, the clan saved on clothes and food, and clan leader Liu successfully won a foundation-building pill from the Yunlong Market and successfully built his foundation.

The Liu family has another foundation-building cultivator.

That would allow him to be promoted to the ninth rank and be on par with the Fu family.

Chief Liu said loudly:
"Uncle San, go and bring the people in."

Liu Meizhen arrived at the right time.

He was thinking of asking the other party to send his three children back.

Chief Liu, who had already established his foundation, was in high spirits. He sat at the head of the group and did not stand up to greet them when he heard footsteps.

When he saw that only Liu Meizhen came, he sneered in his heart. Most likely, the Fu family lost a lot of foundation-building people in the beast tide. He was originally a little wary of Liu Meizhen, but now he was completely relieved. He casually pointed to the position below and said:
"My sister has come from afar, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please try my newly acquired Cangming Tea. This is a top-grade second-grade middle-grade spiritual tea, which was personally rewarded to me by the head of the Tang family who was promoted to the eighth grade."

Inside and outside the words.

This shows that the other party now has the support of an eighth-rank family.

Completely forgot.

How they begged for help humbly when the clan was in danger.

Liu Meizhen raised the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"The tea is good, but the brewing method is wrong, it has a bit of astringency."

This statement came out.

Chief Liu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He gulped down the teacup, then put it heavily on the table and spoke frankly:
"Sister, I won't beat around the bush with you. You promised to send back all the talisman masters you brought from our Liu family once the city was built. But I heard that the beast tide in Huainan, Jingzhou, has passed, but there is no trace of any talisman masters from our Liu family. Since you didn't keep your promise, our previous contract is over."

In the eyes of Patriarch Liu.

In Jingzhou, a remote place, after the beast tide chaos, the Fu family must be on the decline, while their Liu family is thriving.

The contract with the Fu family no longer needs to be complied with.

after all.

The Fu family is far away and cannot bring them any more benefits, so why should they be controlled by others?

Obviously.

Chief Liu was already prepared to give up three protons.

Liu Meizhen looked at Chief Liu steadily:
"Patriarch Liu, since we are from the same Liu family, if you said something crazy in the heat of the moment, I will pretend that I didn't hear it. But you only have one chance."

Chief Liu frowned.

He never liked others acting superior to him, and said coldly:
"Sister, you were the first to break the contract. Don't act like I don't keep my word."

The Liu family's talisman master didn't want to go back, and the Liu clan leader knew this very well. He was just finding a random reason to terminate the contract.

Liu Meizhen sighed in her heart.

She had already given him a chance.

Since the other party doesn't cherish her, don't blame her for disregarding the blood relationship of the Liu family.

Liu Meizhen lowered her eyes.

Clan leader Liu directly served tea:
"Sister, I still have chores to attend to."

Just kick him out.

Even Liu Meizhen came all the way to Jingzhou without asking a single question. In his opinion, she was probably here to cry poor, after all, the beast tide had just passed, and the Fu family was in a period of recovery.

Liu Meizhen didn't delay.

After standing up and bowing, he left the reception room.

Out of the tribe mountain.

Meet with Master Yu and Yun Bozi who are hiding in an abandoned cave in the opposite Qiu Ri Mountain.

Yun Bozi was surprised to see that the other party came back so quickly.

Stunned for a moment:
"Madam, your brother is so reluctant to even prepare a welcoming banquet for you?"

I originally wanted to use the Liu family to find out about the situation in Jingzhou, but now it seems that it is not feasible. Yun Bozi said anxiously:
"Madam, if it really doesn't work, go meet my fifth sister. As long as you are careful, the people of the Yu family will definitely not notice."

"No"

This way.

It would alert the enemy.

Liu Meizhen turned her head and glanced at the cave, but did not see Fu Yongyi.

Seeing this, Yun Bozi hurriedly explained, "Yongyi said he wanted to wander around the area. He probably won't be far away, so we need to call him back to discuss this together."

"Need not"

Liu Meizhen shook her head.

The three of them discussed it and decided to let Yun Bozi and Master Yu continue to stay in Qiuri Mountain tomorrow, while Liu Meizhen and Fu Yongyi would go to Yunlong Market to get information, and then make plans after they have a clear understanding of the situation.

Yun Bozi glanced at the sky outside and murmured:
"It's already dark, why hasn't Yongyi come back yet? He's unfamiliar with the place, could he be lost?"

　Thanks to the handsome guys and beautiful girls for their suggestions, subscriptions, monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you.
