Chapter 88 The “Rogue” Emperor! The Princess Is Humiliated
…
However, Wang Shouzhe was just complaining.
If he really dared to have such an idea, Di Zian would probably have reason to ignore the government affairs and come directly to Wang Shouzhe to fight for his life.
Moreover, if we really talk about blood relationships, there is actually some blood of the Wu family in the Wang family.
After all, during the heyday of the Dingguo Palace, marriages to the royal family were inevitable, and there were also many marriages to direct lineages. As a branch of the Changning Wang family, naturally they cannot escape the relationship.
If we really want to discuss it in detail, it will be unclear.
That’s all!
Wang Shouzhe sighed deeply.
Serving such a great emperor is really tiring.
No, Di Zian is becoming more pretentious now, complaining about being too tired all day long. Either he asked Wang Shouzhe to come out personally, or he asked to send a few more Wang family elite disciples to assist him.
Today, the eldest son Wang Zongan is still in charge of the Dala Desert development plan, and the eldest grandson Wang Guangzhao and several outstanding young disciples have also been sent to Guilong City to assist.
That guy, isn't he just trying to be lazy like Emperor Longchang before he ascends to the throne?
…
About the same time.
The Wang family studied outside.
Zhuwei Lake has been expanded several times, and its water area has doubled its original size. Now, as one of the foundations of Wang's Great Spirit Gathering Array, a high-grade water spiritual vein is buried beneath it.
Nourished by the aura of Yuanshui, the aquatic plants on the shore grow luxuriantly, full of vitality and aura. Even the spiritual fish and frogs in the water are more fresh and plump than before.
The breeze blows, and ripples appear on the water. From time to time, there are a few small boats passing by. There is a poetic and picturesque charm, and the scenery is really beautiful.
now.
There is an additional barbecue stove on the leisure and water-friendly platform beside Zhuwei Lake.
Emperor Longchang, who was politely "invited" by the clan guards, was sitting by the stove, roasting spiritual meat and spiritual fish with great pleasure.
The reason why he was not arrested was because he was regarded as the distant "elder" of Wu Langniu of the Wang family, and he was just invited out.
As a result, Wu Langniu and Li Xian of the Wang family got a brief moment of respite and were allowed to stay with them temporarily.
now.
Wang Dalang and the other five wolves were squatting next to the barbecue pit, their noses twitching and their saliva almost dripping down.
As a small sapling, Wang Lixian was half-slumped on the platform. Her long roots passed through the gaps in the water-friendly platform and penetrated deep into the river embankment, absorbing nutrients from the earth.
As a tree, Wang Lixian does not refuse meat, especially delicious meat. Her resistance is not strong.
"Wang Dalang... Wu Niu, you guys, let me tell you something." Emperor Longchang skillfully roasted the meat, took out the spices carefully prepared in the imperial kitchen from the treasure ring Pixiu, and sprinkled them on it. He said like an elder instructing, " Whether you are a wolf or a human being, you must maintain a spirit of learning from time to time."
"You have grown up now, and you must learn to be independent. As for your studies, I will never pamper you. You must study hard and strive to be the five wolves that are useful to the Wang family and Da Gan. Come on. Come on, come and eat meat.”
As Emperor Longchang divided the meat, Wu Langniu of the Wang family quickly devoured it, nodding her head "woo woo woo". I really admire the great grandpa. Not only the barbecue is so delicious, but even his words are so reasonable.
Wang Lixian separated a few branches and wrapped them around the barbecued fish. The roots penetrated into them, and the barbecued fish were absorbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Xian'er, as a legendary tree of life, you have to eat more." Emperor Longchang looked at her kindly and said, "Come on, come on~ Eat slowly, your great emperor still has a lot here. "
Emperor Longchang never imagined that Wang Shouzhe's natal spiritual plant would be a tree of life. I really don’t know how many lifetimes of shit luck that guy has accumulated, but he was able to get such a great opportunity.
It really made him envious and jealous.
"Hey~~Thank you, Grandpa Emperor." Wang Lixian said gratefully.
"You are so polite, you call me Grandpa Emperor, you are my granddaughter, real granddaughter." Emperor Longchang said with a kind and kind face, "Your Grandpa Emperor has decided to give Xian'er a healthy and safe growth environment. , Grandpa Emperor will stay in the Wang family to protect you and teach you."
While he was talking, he pulled out more than half of the barbecued meat and fish and gave them to Wang Lixian.
Wang's Wu Langniu was dumbfounded.
This is a transfer of favor~~I suddenly felt that the meat in my mouth no longer tasted good.
"Hey, Grandpa Emperor is so loud." Wang Lixian said happily.
Just as Emperor Longchang was personally serving barbecue to Wang Lixian and Wang's Wulangnu, a tall figure appeared beside the waterfront platform.
This man was wearing a white gown, and he looked calm, elegant, and impressive.
This figure is naturally Wang Shouzhe.
He bowed his hands to the Emperor on the hydrophilic platform and said in salute: "Your Majesty is here to visit the Wang family. I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar. Please forgive me for my sins."
"Hey, Shouzhe is here." Emperor Longchang smiled and waved warmly, "Come on, come on, I'll roast another batch of spiritual meat and let's eat together."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Shouzhe left as he was told, but his heart was full of broken thoughts.
Your Majesty is worthy of being an emperor who has lived for three thousand and hundreds of years. He is as thick-skinned as a city wall. He has done such a thing and still acts like a normal person.
"Shou Zhe, please try the spiritual meat I grilled. This oven was given to me by Li Yao." Emperor Longchang looked like he was familiar with it. He really didn't care about himself in the Wang family's territory. Be an outsider.
Wang Shouzhe was speechless. After eating a few symbolic bites of barbecue, he said, "Your Majesty is coming to visit my Wang family. Shouzhe is not able to greet you. I am really worried."
The implication is of course to ask the emperor, couldn't you inform me in advance that you are coming to visit?
Emperor Longchang secretly rolled his eyes.
If I informed you, wouldn't it give you a chance to hide your tail? At that time, how can I grab your pigtails, how can I make a shocking reversal and slap you in the face?
It's a pity that Wang Shouzhe manages the territory so impregnably that water can't get in. The old man was noticed by Wang's minions before he even started taking action.
If he hadn't run quickly when he saw the opportunity, he would have been caught in Wang's "private prison" unless he used force to resist.
Hum~
In this three-thirds of an acre of land, he managed the territory so carefully, and he really regarded himself as the "Emperor of Earth".
Emperor Longchang was thinking inwardly, but on the surface he calmly changed the subject and commented: "Shouzhe, your plan for the main residence of the Wang family is really majestic. Once such a spirit gathering array is completed, it will become more and more beautiful over time." , this main residence of the Wang family will become a truly beautiful place, and it will ensure that the Wang family's legacy will last for thousands of years~~"
"Even when I arrived at this place, I felt a little reluctant to leave."
As the Great Emperor Lingxu, his knowledge and vision were not comparable to those of ordinary people. He could tell almost at a glance that the spirit gathering array planned to be arranged by Wang's main residence was extraordinary and could not be arranged by ordinary array masters.
Wang Shouzhe's expression froze and he said politely: "If your Majesty likes it, you can stay at Wang's for a while and treat it as a vacation."
There is no such thing as "everything in the world is royal land" in the narrow sense. The private land owned by the Wang family has all been officially registered with the government. As long as they pay taxes according to regulations and do not commit some particularly serious crimes, offense. Nature belongs to the Wang family for generations, and no one can take it away at will.
Just like when the Wang family defeated the Liu and Zhao families and squeezed them out of Ping'an Town, they did not have the right to add their land to the Wang family's name at will. You still have to go through the formal process of purchasing and transferring.
Therefore, the current main residence of the Wang family (formerly Ping'an Town) naturally belongs to the Wang family. When the emperor comes, he is just a guest.
However, when Wang Shouzhe spoke, he was only polite.
Compared with the environment of the palace, although the Wang family's territory is not useless, in terms of luxury, it is indeed several levels behind.
Unexpectedly.
Emperor Longchang's eyes lit up, and then he stroked his beard and pretended to murmur: "Since it's Shouzhe who invites you, I can't deny your face. It just so happens that I just recognized Xian'er as my granddaughter, so I happened to keep him. Let’s cultivate some feelings.”
"What?" Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat, "Your Majesty, when did this happen?"
"Just before Shouzhe comes." Emperor Longchang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. This is also because of you, Wang Shouzhe, who has made great contributions to Daqian Country this time. You don't have to worry about the government and the opposition. Criticism. At my age, I don’t even need to look at their faces when I recognize a registered granddaughter."
What he said was as if recognizing Li Xian as her registered granddaughter gave the Wang family a huge advantage.
The muscles on Wang Shouzhe's cheeks twitched, and it was difficult to control his expression.
It's obvious that you just want to flirt with Xianzhi, why are you pretending?
Your Majesty's face... I can only say that the emperor is truly worthy of being an emperor, and ordinary people cannot compare to him.
There's just one more concern...
Wang Shouzhe was a little confused. He glanced at Emperor Longchang and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, you want to accept Xian'er as your registered granddaughter. Shouzhe is naturally extremely honored. It's just that we are of the same generation..."
Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and put his hands behind his back with an arrogant look on his face: "Shouzhe, don't overthink it, I don't mean that. Let's discuss our own things~~ From now on, we will still have a pure relationship between monarch and minister, can you? Don't think anything wrong."
Those words and expressions seemed to be full of disgust for Wang Shouzhe.
"call!"
Wang Shouzhe also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be better not to have that intention, otherwise he would really be unable to serve this willful emperor.
However, when he saw Wang Shouzhe's relieved look, Emperor Longchang became angry and his face turned dark: "Wang Shouzhe, what's your expression? Do you dislike me?"
"My lord, I have no intention of doing so."
Wang Shouzhe held his hand, but his heart felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping past.
This is really "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps." Do you really think that you didn't see the emperor's disgust just now?
"It's best not to have such intention." Emperor Longchang smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "I will stay with your Wang family for a while, and teach Xian'er by the way. I am not a hypocritical person, and you don't need to be close to me. Serve, do whatever you need to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Shouzhe accepted the promise with his hand, looking very respectful and obedient, but in fact he was very tired.
Hey~ Who told him to be Emperor Lingxu? He has big fists and thick arms, so I can only follow him.
Fortunately, this is just a short stay.
…
at the same time.
Xinping Town.
Compared with the original Pingan Town, Xinping Town is located closer to the sea to the east.
Its land area is also very vast, four or five times larger than Ping'an Town. There are mountains, hills, lakes and rivers within the territory. Even Shen Tai Lake, the largest lake under Wang's jurisdiction, is within the scope of Xinping Town.
Wang's most important water conservancy project, the overall design and planning was completed at the beginning of the land reclamation of Xinping Town.
According to the original plan, the criss-crossing rivers and lakes were connected. Excavation was carried out where necessary, embankments were repaired where embankments were needed, and gates were added at various places. The overall structure was A dense network of waterways.
Don't underestimate this waterway network.
You know, now that air transportation capacity is still relatively limited and land transportation is not fast enough, the role of rivers and inner lakes is very huge.
Transportation, irrigation, flood storage, drainage... these functions involving waterways are all key to the overall development of people's livelihood.
If the Wang family's nostalgia and reluctance to part with their "ancestral land" had not been taken into account, it would have been more suitable and cost-effective to use the entire Xinping Town as the Wang family's main homestead.
There is a small delta near the bell mouth of the lower reaches of the Anjiang River, and a wide river channel leads to the interior of Xinping Town at the angle. Where the river narrowed slightly, Wang built a large gate named "Xinping Gate".
This "Xinping Gate" has many functions.
But one of the most important functions is the Kundao Gate.
As Wang Zongkun grew bigger and bigger, his food intake became more and more alarming, and the Changning Wang family's expenses on feeding also increased day by day.
As Wang Zongkun advanced to the fifth level, even the Wang family's wealth could no longer support such a large expenditure. Naturally, Wang Zongkun’s upbringing was changed to the form of “half feeding and half grazing”.
Every once in a while, the powerful elders in the clan would take Wang Zongkun for a walk in the ocean, and feed Wang Zongkun's growing appetite by preying on aquatic beasts with abundant "reserves" in the ocean.
Of course, for some well-known reasons, the elders usually take Wang Anye with them when they go out to herd.
However, as the strength of Wang Anye and Wang Zongkun increased rapidly, one person and one Kun joined forces, and they had enough self-protection ability in the deep sea. This "grazing" job was completely let go to Wang Anye.
This day.
An Ye took Wang Zongkun, who had had a full meal, and swam from the mouth of the sea into the river and swam slowly towards the Xinping Gate.
On this trip to sea, everyone and Kun "gained" a lot. Even though Wang Zongkun had a separate space in his belly dedicated to storing food, he still felt a little overwhelmed, and even his posture when swimming became a bit lazy, as if he was taking a walk to eat.
At this time, Wang Zongkun's strength has still reached the sixth level. Although he is still under adulthood, his size has become very huge. Even though the river outside Xinping Gate has been opened very wide, it seems a bit cramped for a fish to swim in, and it cannot move at all.
Under the sun, its streamlined body is like a moving fortress, exuding a strong sense of oppression, as if it has the majesty of a deep-sea "dragon whale".
Wang Anye sat cross-legged on Wang Zongkun's back, taking stock of the harvest from this trip to sea, thinking about what to give to the elders at home, and what to keep for his younger brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces and grandnephews.
Thirty years have passed, and Wang Anye has grown into a young man with a graceful face.
Now forty-two years old, he has been promoted to the Heavenly Realm in the past few years, and his strength is no longer the same as it was back then. Even compared with the royal family, which has many talented people, his cultivation speed is definitely in the first echelon. .
Wu Yiluo and Wu Xuening had the resources of the royal family to support them, but their current strength was not as good as his.
Of course, in the Wang family, he can only be regarded as the second echelon now.
After all, the Wang family has too many perverts.
However, this is only temporary. When he becomes stronger, he can follow Ji Wuchen's instructions and go to the inheritance place left by his master to receive further inheritance. At that time, both his strength and bloodline qualifications can be improved again. Maybe he can successfully enter the first echelon of the Wang family.
Just as Wang Anye was counting the harvests without any distractions, unknowingly, one man and one Kun were getting closer and closer to the Xinping Gate.
…
A medium-sized inland river patrol boat sailed slowly in the wide river.
This kind of patrol boat specializes in maintaining law and order in the area under its jurisdiction, that is, it will arrest all kinds of people who are detrimental to the area under its jurisdiction. At the same time, it is also a warning to those with evil intentions to be more honest in the Wang family's territory.
This patrol boat is numbered 003. It is composed of two Lingtai Realm monks as captains and deputy captains, and the rest are ten soldiers of Qi Refining Realm intermediate level or above. In addition to cold weapons, they are also equipped with new [shotguns], [Thunderbolt] and other hot weapons.
In addition, the captain and deputy captain are also equipped with a storage ring, which contains some important supplies, such as ammunition, healing medicine, and some strange but useful plant seeds.
Among them, the captain is Shen Tu Hongyi. He was born as a commoner in the area under the jurisdiction of the Wang family. He received a formal education in Wang family clan studies. He also graduated with excellent results and became a key training target of the Wang family.
Shentu Hongyi, who is now sixty or seventy years old, has reached the third level of Lingtai realm and has become a backbone general under the Wang family. He has a keen sense of smell, is calm and down-to-earth, and has a good academic background. He married a girl from the Wang family who was also educated by the Wang family.
Therefore, Shentu Hongyi's future within the Wang family is not low.
In Daqian Kingdom, apart from places like Guilong City where people gather, or places like Lingyun Holy Land where elites gather. Anyone who is in the Lingtai realm is not weak in terms of status or strength, and can be considered an elite.
The deputy captain's name is Wang Ansong, and he is a direct bloodline disciple of the Wang family. His father's name is Wang Guangbai, and he is the second son of Wang Zongsheng, a core disciple of the Xuanbing Palace lineage of Zifu Academy.
Wang Zongsheng entered the Zifu Academy at a young age. Although he was not as dazzling as Wang Luojing and Wang Luoqiu, he was still a small success. However, his greatest achievement was to hook up with a senior named Zhou Wenfang in the academy.
Zhou Wenfang was a direct descendant of the Longzuo Zhou family. She had outstanding talent since she was a child and was admitted to the palace. The Longzuo Zhou family placed great hopes on her.
Long Zuozhou belongs to a long-established sixth-grade family. The core business of the family is fabrics and upstream and downstream industries, and they are very good at growing mulberry and raising silkworms. Among them, Zhou's clothing store is the most high-end clothing store in Longzuo County.
Some of the mid-to-high-end clothes in the store often cost tens of thousands of dry gold, and there are even top-end items worth hundreds of thousands of dry gold.
Wang Shouzhe's wedding dress on his wedding day was custom-made by the Qian family at the Zhou family in Longzuo, and it cost a huge sum of money.
Therefore, the Zhou family can be considered a wealthy family among the sixth-rank aristocratic families, and they have certain ambitions to compete with the fifth-rank Zifu aristocratic family.
After Wang Zongsheng and Zhou Wenfang got married, they mainly lived in the academy, living a life like a "fairy couple" living together. They went out to do tasks and play in the wild together, which was very carefree and comfortable.
But no matter how beautiful the couple is, they still have to have a baby when they should. At Wang Shouzhe's urging, the two gave birth to two sons and one daughter, and the children grew up in the family.
Among them, the second son Wang Guangbai gave birth to Wang Ansong.
Time really flies by.
Today, Wang Ansong is thirty-three years old and has become a young and promising young man.
This is how the family is, multiplying from generation to generation, and the population becomes more and more prosperous.
Wang Ansong was dressed in a standard Xuanwu uniform, looking capable and heroic. Unlike his grandfather Wang Zongsheng, who practiced physical training, his figure was well-proportioned and slender, and his appearance was handsome.
Now that his talent and bloodline have reached the second level of Little Tianjiao, his cultivation has reached the second level of Lingtai Realm. Among Wang's peers, he is not the best, but he is not bad either. If he earns more merit points, he still has a chance. From the current fourth rank of the family to the third rank.
At this time, Wang Ansong was sitting in the patrol boat with a golden sword, interrogating the two suspects he had just arrested with a serious expression.
Because the two suspects surrendered relatively quickly, and they were an old man and a girl. The patrol only handcuffed them in accordance with convention and rules, and did not specifically abuse them.
But Wang Ansong's eyes were very wary, and the soldiers even aimed their shotgun spray directly at them, looking quite nervous.
"You two, you'd better tell me the truth." Wang Ansong said seriously, "Who was the person who tore open space to escape before? What treasures did he use? Where are you from, and what is the purpose of coming to my Xinping Town?"
Lao Yao has lived for a thousand or hundreds of years, but he has never been as embarrassed as he is today. If you say run away, of course you can run away, but what can you do if you run away? Isn't it just a joke to call Shouzhe for nothing? His Majesty has been implicated...
Of course, Wu Xuening was also extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, the Wang patrol team was relatively well-behaved. As long as they didn't resist, there was nothing transgressive.
"Young man, I've said it many times, it's better to ask Shouzhe, the head of the Shouzhe family, to handle this matter." Old Yao said helplessly, "You don't need to be so nervous, we won't hurt you."
"It's ridiculous, how can my fourth old man be so easy to see?" Wang Ansong said coldly and angrily, "We have arrested Dongfang Qiong, and he has confessed you. I remind you that we should treat suspects like you who have obvious malice. , our patrol team has the right to execute people."
"Young Master Twelve, you are too kind-hearted. I don't think there is any need to talk nonsense with them. Some criminals are like this. They won't shed tears until they see the coffin. It's better to be punished according to the law." A certain soldier suggested.
"Did you also hear it?" Wang Ansong said seriously, "Based on your current crimes, whether it is according to Daqian Law or Xinping Town Local Security Regulations, we have the right to use torture, so why not save some face for each other."
At this point, Wu Xuening finally couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and said, "Grandpa Yao, this is too embarrassing. This matter is indeed our fault, why don't I reveal my identity."
"That's all." Old Yao had no choice but to say, "Just tell me your identity."
In order to satisfy the emperor's bad taste of pretending first and then reversing the incident to create a sense of satisfaction, the two of them suffered a lot of grievances along the way.
After getting Lao Yao's approval, Wu Xuening breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Ansong: "Are you also a member of the Wang family? The twelfth in your family?"
"Yes, I am Wang Ansong." Wang Ansong is an outstanding graduate of ethnic studies, and his temperament and demeanor are naturally good. "Girl, if you recruit me from the ground, I will apply for a reduction of your guilt."
"Actually, this is a misunderstanding. We are our own people." After Wu Xuening let go of her knot, she thought of someone again and felt slightly embarrassed.
"One of our own?" Wang Ansong raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe it.
"My name is Wu Xuening, and I am the little princess of the royal family." Wu Xuening bit her lips and said a little shyly, "Your seventh brother Wang Anye and I are friends."
"So he's a friend of Seventh Brother? Or a little princess from the royal family?" Wang Ansong raised his brows, stood up, and walked over with a kind face, "That's really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family didn't know it. It’s a family.”
"That's natural. I also recognize your Lilong and Yingxuan." Wu Xuening smiled sweetly, "Ansong, we are all our own people, you can untie it now..."
"Asshole!"
Wang Ansong roared angrily, "A spy who incites civil unrest still dares to amuse me like this? The little princess who returns to the royal family knows my seventh brother..."
After a pause, Wang Ansong roared surprisingly angrily: "Who is the same as you, a witch? Why don't you pretend to be my seventh brother's unmarried daughter-in-law? How about pretending to be my seventh sister-in-law?"
Wu Xuening was yelled and took two steps back. Her eyes were a little dazed. What do you mean by pretending to be An Ye's wife? I do...
Ah, no, no, no~
Just as Wu Xuening was in a daze after being scolded, a low cry of "dragon whale" came from outside the boat, oooooo~~
At the same time, the gentle laughter of Wang Anye, who had returned from Muyu, was heard: "Isn't this patrol boat No. 003, Twelve, Twelve, are you on duty today?"
"It's Brother Seven." Wang Ansong's face lit up.
But Wu Xuening's expression suddenly became dull, and she secretly thought something bad was wrong.
It's over, it's over, how could it be such a coincidence that I met An Ye? My unlucky image has been seen, what should I do?
…
