The Great Seminary

Chapter 76 Playing Dead and Living
The Rong family in Shuanghu was robbed of people, money and property, but it actually had little to do with the Zhang family in Pingyang.

The transaction between the two parties in Wangbei Village has been completed and the money and goods have been exchanged.

If you are in trouble, it would be a favor for me to help you, but it would be my duty not to help you.

But for the two playboys Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu, they no longer had the help of the local tyrant Pingyang Zhang family.

It is truly a pipe dream to want to recover the losses by your own ability.

In desperation, he could only inform his family that Zhuangzi had been kidnapped.

The ten thousand young and strong slaves lost were each worth twenty taels of gold, and those with skills could get 50% or even double that.
Hundreds of guards are not worth much.

Anyway, with the Shuanghu Rong family's golden signboard, they can recruit as many ordinary D-level and C-level cultivators as they want.

But he can manage hundreds or thousands of people.

Management talents who can plan the production, trade, and life of a village the size of a town are priceless treasures.

After hundreds of years of development, the Rong family has only managed to gather two or three hundred such talents.

If you don't feel that everything is difficult at the beginning.

In order to successfully establish a foothold in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty and complete the family's transformation from an imperial merchant to a famous family.

It is absolutely impossible to invest such a huge amount of manpower.

Now that it’s gone, I’ve really lost a lot of money.

So Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu sent out a "flying sword letter" at noon, and the family's reinforcements arrived in the afternoon...

The Rong family of Shuanghu is an imperial merchant family. Since their ancestors came to power, their backer has been the emperor.

So although the family is not famous for its military strength, its cultivation methods are quite good.

All those with the surname Rong, regardless of their cultivation aptitude, practice the "Tianchi Rulei Sword".

The reason is not because this method is fierce in attack and the sword moves like thunder.

It is because two monks who practiced the "Tianchi Rulei Sword" could send letters via flying sword over thousands of miles a day.

After a small success in practice, one can fly with a sword at a speed of thousands of miles per day.

For traveling merchants, the ability for the person in charge to communicate in person at any time over long distances and low-cost and fast movement are truly the key to success.

As for high-end skills like "Tianchi Rulei Sword", if you want to practice it successfully, you must have excellent qualifications.

For mediocre people, practicing this method will only waste their lives, so it is not worth considering.

After all, it is not easy to be someone's lackey.

Since you are enjoying the benefit of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

It is only natural that the first requirement is to serve the master better...

Wangbeizhuang management hall.

Because the surrounding flowers and plants had long been plucked out by Rong Anshan, who had pretended to be indifferent to ostentation and pragmatic and hardworking.

Now it is completely deserted and looks desolate and miserable.

In the hall.

Rong Anshan looked at the family reinforcement leader who was nominally here for reinforcements but actually seemed to be here to call for punishment.

He forced a smile and lied about how he had done his best for his family from the beginning of last year to the first month of the lunar year.

How can I make some free time on New Year's Eve to go to Siyang County City to build relationships?

But such a big mistake happened.

The leader of the Rong family's reinforcements was a young man in his thirties named Rong Yexiang.

Although according to the Rong family's generation names, the "Rong Ying, An Ye" section should be the nephews and nieces of Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu.

In fact, he is not the blood descendant of Shuanghu Rong family.

Rather, it was because the family had been established for a short time and had few descendants, so they selected orphans who were intelligent and talented and naturalized as adopted sons.

Since they are written into the family tree, they are all descendants of the Shuanghu Rong family.

From childhood to adulthood, the monthly interest, the treatment for practicing the skills are all the same.

However, in the past hundred years, there has not been a single adopted son or his descendants who could become the patriarch of the Rong family.

Rong Yexiang was considered the most outstanding of this generation's adopted sons. He entered the art of the Heavenly Thunder Sword at the age of eighteen.

At the age of 29, he broke through the eighth rank and entered the 'Bing Shao' rank.

Even though the Shuanghu Rong family values ​​profit over power, this extraordinary world still has the traditional idea that "power belongs to individuals."

It is really hard to suppress someone with such outstanding talent in cultivation.

So he is thirty-three years old this year and has already climbed to the position of "Second Cabinet Member".

This time, the so-called "reinforcement" of Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu was arranged by the big boss behind the scenes, but he actually had other plans.

But people with brains will not act rashly.

Although he had guessed that Rong Anshan was talking nonsense, Rong Yexiang still did not ask a single question and maintained a calm attitude.

After Rong Anshan finished his story full of loopholes, he spoke:

“Uncle Anshan is indeed a capable person in the clan.

It seems that the robbery in Wangbei Village this time was really God's will.

I don't know why you said that because of social interactions, you didn't return to Wangbei Village from Siyang County until after the tenth day of the first lunar month.

How many is it, anyway?"

"Twelve or thirteen, maybe fourteen. I've been working so hard on this these days, my head, my brain..."

As he was speaking, Rong Anshan suddenly trembled and fainted.

He used to scoff at this trick of 'pretending to be seriously ill when faced with a major event'.

But now I can use it effortlessly and it feels so real.

Rong Yexiang was stunned when he saw this, with a little anger in his eyes, but he was completely helpless.

Rong Anshan's biological father and grandfather were both very influential figures in the Shuanghu Rong family, and there was no evidence that could definitely kill him.

You can't act rashly.

So Rong Yexiang could only turn his attention to Rong Anqiu.

Since this young master can compete with Rong Anshan, his father must be the backbone of the Rong family's senior management.

Although their strength is slightly inferior to that of the Rong Anshan family, they are more difficult to provoke because they do not want to offend anyone.

Rong Yexiang sighed secretly and tried to slow down his tone, "Uncle Anqiu, you are with..."

But before he could say a few words, Rong Anqiu looked just like Rong Anshan and fainted on the chair.

Even though I had anticipated that this trip to Siyang County would be very difficult,
However, it was beyond Rong Yexiang's expectation that Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu, the two "An generation heroes" of the Shuanghu Rong family, would act so shamelessly.

In the end, he had to completely give up the extravagant hope of getting any clues about the "Wangbei Village robbery" from the most important person involved.

Start all over again...

In the blink of an eye, the first batch of soldiers recruited by the overseas small country, the True Dragon Empire, has been training for a full month.

It was Sunday morning.

According to the laws of the True Dragon Kingdom, all citizens are on holiday unless they are employed by their own employers.

The Shangshi corpse attracted everyone's attention outside the military camp in Beijing.

The new recruits marched in unison on the training ground.

The top 100 with the best performance will be refined by the Grassroots Emperor Zhang Gui and become single stone corpse warriors.

"For more than 30 days, every morning I ran five kilometers cross-country and marched for four hours.

The queue was finally completed.

The discipline is in place.”

On the high platform, Zhang Gui looked at the soldiers below and thought with relief in his heart.

Today, he has the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and insects painted on his chest;
The back is embroidered with Zong Yi, Zao, Huo, Fen Mi, Fu, and Fu;

The five colors are displayed in the five colors;
The crown, black robe and fragrant skirt are a set with twelve patterns on them.

It is exactly the appearance of the ancient emperor!
