Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 1185 The Calm Before the Storm

"Welcome the patriarch to leave the customs!"

"Congratulations to the patriarch's cultivation base!"

Liang Ruizhao, Liang Zhonghou, and Liang Zhongxu had been waiting in the 'Kunpeng Secret Realm' for a long time. When they saw Liang Zhaohuang leave the customs, they immediately bowed to congratulate him.

Liang Zhaohuang waved his hand slightly, and said, "It's just a small step forward, there's not much to celebrate, let's talk about the past year first."

While speaking, he walked towards the outside of the 'Kunpeng Secret Realm' and returned to the clan.

The three of Liang Zhonghou immediately followed closely and reported the situation to him respectively.

First of all, Liang Zhongxu said: "Elder Zheng's Nascent Soul Banquet has been prepared, and guests from all parties have arrived in Wuzhou one after another. The Nascent Soul Banquet will be held in a month's time."

"Half a year ago, under the impetus of the 'Changfeng' Liu family, the 'Jinbo' Jiang family, and the 'Longjiang' Yang family, a total of more than a dozen aristocratic families, more than a hundred prefectures, and more than a thousand county wealthy families jointly signed a letter requesting to reset Three provinces."

"Everyone in the Xian Dynasty held a small court meeting, discussed for more than half a month, and issued an imperial edict to reset the three provinces."

"Now, the 'Changfeng' Liu family controls the Shangshu province, the 'Jinbo' Jiang family controls the Zhongshu province, and the 'Longjiang' Yang family controls the Menxia province."

"Three months ago, with the help of the 'Longjiang' Yang family, Elder Xiangbin successfully won the position of Minister of the Household Department."

"The Teng family in Guangzhou, with the support of the 'Changfeng' Liu family, successfully won the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"The Mu family of Ningzhou, with the support of the 'Jinbo' Jiang family, won the position of Minister of Rites."

Listening to Liang Zhongxu's report, Liang Zhaohuang looked thoughtful and ordered:
"Zheng's Nascent Soul Banquet is held normally, pay attention to check the inside and outside of Wuzhou City, as well as Wuzhou, and beware of someone taking the opportunity to make trouble."

"Prepare five generous gifts and send them to the Yang family, Liu family, Jiang family, Mu family, and Teng family respectively."

"The Yang family's ceremony is the most important. It is not only to congratulate the Yang family for mastering the province, but also to thank the Yang family for helping Xiangbin win the position of Minister of the Household Department."

"The etiquette of the Liu family and the Jiang family is next, and that of the Mu and Teng families is second."

Generally speaking, a Shangshu is a second-rank official, and it should be a person from a second-rank family. The Liang family is only a third-rank family now, but with the support of the Yang family, there is no danger.

Just like the Teng family in Guangzhou, they are also members of a third-rank family, but with the support of the 'Changfeng' Liu family, they won the position of second-rank official secretary.

Only the Mu family in Ningzhou, a second-rank aristocratic family in itself, with the support of the 'Jinbo' Jiang family, can be said to be the most secure to win the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"In addition, send a summons to Elder Xiangbin and ask him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting 'Yang Guiliang Sui'. He will manage the Ministry of Accounting as the Yang family did in the past. Listen to the wishes of the Yang family and don't take the lead at will."

"Yes, Patriarch." Liang Zhongxu received the order, bowed and stepped back.

Liang Zhonghou on the side stepped forward and continued to report.

"In the Northern Territory of the Demon Country, the six 'Wuling Commander's' opened up new states, and the 'Wuling Commander' who attacked the Western Regions opened up a new state. Pro-approval of the unification of all states on February [-] next year!"

"Currently, the seven 'Wuling Commanderies' that have opened up the new state are moving a large number of people from the inland of the Xian Dynasty to the newly opened seven states with the help of the central government and the royal family of the Xian Dynasty to prepare for the upcoming Liding. "

"The patriarch asked to pay attention to the situation of monks from various places crossing the catastrophe and advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm. In the past year, the family got definite news that there were three monks who crossed the catastrophe and entered the Nascent Soul Realm, all of which ended in failure."

"One is that the monks from Qixing Island in the East China Sea attacked the Nascent Soul Realm, but they were not prepared enough and fell under the thunder disaster."

"The second one is the Li family of the 'Wuling County Prefect' in Jizhou. They wanted to cultivate their own Yuanying Zhenjun, but they failed to pass the tribulation and fell."

"The third one is a child of the Jin family from Pingzhou's aristocratic family who was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, but failed to cross the tribulation and fell."

"Among them, the monks of the Li family and the Jin family are suspected to have fallen in the fate."

"Although the two families have blocked news, the children of the family have roughly determined through the relationship between the parties that the power of the demonic power appeared and infected in the catastrophe encountered by the two families."

Listening to Liang Zhonghou's report, Liang Zhaohuang's complexion also changed slightly.

"Human Sovereign chose several states to unify and set up a tripod, and moved the population in such a hurry. There must be a reason. The most likely reason is that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of setting up seven tripods to stimulate the luck of humanity, boil it up, and push it to a higher level. , to accomplish what purpose!"

This is not something the Liang family can meddle in now, they can only watch from the sidelines, the situation is changing, success or failure.

He just ordered: "Prepare generous gifts and send them to the seven clans of the 'Wuling County Wang' who are about to establish a tripod. Congratulate them on establishing a tripod in Xinzhou and being promoted to a clan clan."

"Yes." Liang Zhonghou replied immediately.

But Liang Zhaohuang's mind had already turned to the second news reported by Liang Zhongyu.

For more than a year, three monks tried to attack the Nascent Soul Realm, but they all ended in failure. The Liang family got the news, and it is not known if there is any Liang family who has not got the news.

After all, the time for the rise of the Liang family is limited. Although they have tried their best to spread their eyeliner and news channels over the years, they still cannot be sure about those aristocratic families who have been passed down for thousands of years, and the information that can be investigated is also limited.

But even so, the news he received had already shocked him.

It is obviously not an isolated case that the phenomenon of demonic erosion and harassment appeared during Liang Zheng's tribulation. I don't know what kind of impact this change will have on the monks and practice in this world?What changes will follow?
Liang Zhaohuang's thoughts turned in his mind, and he ordered: "Continue to pay attention to the situation and news of the monks from all walks of life."

"Yes, patriarch."

Liang Zhonghou agreed again, and then bowed and retreated.

Liang Ruizhao finally came forward to report, saying:
"Patriarch, in the past year or so, there have been no changes in Wudu, and there have been no changes in the places you asked me to pay attention to."

"However, the patriarch of the 'Water Ape' Yuan family announced a retreat a month ago, and has not left the retreat so far. The details are still unknown."

Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help but move slightly when he heard it. The head of the Yuan family is retreating at this time. Could it be that he is about to break through the late stage of Golden Core?
He changed his mind and asked Liang Zhongxu to the side: "Among the monks who came to the Fang family Zheng's Nascent Soul Feast this time, is there any Dharma Prime Minister Long Zhenjun?"

Liang Zhongxu responded immediately: "Patriarch, Fa Xiangzong came from a Jindan real person to send a congratulatory gift, and conveyed Long Zhenjun's apology. Dare to leave lightly, so I will participate in the Nascent Soul Banquet in the future."

Liang Zhaohuang nodded slightly when he heard the words, but he wondered in his heart whether the words from Fa Xiangzong were true or false?

Could it be that Mingxiu plank road is secretly going to Chencang, and Zhenjun Long has sneaked into Wuzhou?
Thinking about it, he ordered: "Continue to keep an eye on the situation of the 'Water Ape' Yuan's family and the situation in the Yuan family's secret realm. If the head of the Yuan family leaves the customs, or if there is a change in the Yuan family's secret realm, report it immediately."

"Yes, patriarch."

Liang Ruizhao responded immediately.

At the same time, Liang Zhaohuang was still not at ease, and a thought spread in his mind. He arranged the Royal Beast Kunpeng to the top of Yuhu County to watch the situation of the Yuan family and the Yuan family's secret realm.

Liang Ruizhao continued to report.

"In the Northern Territory of the Demon Kingdom, the 'Green Immortal Vine' Luo family and the 'Golden Bull' Zheng family have stopped their pioneering operations. The scope of Xinzhou has been determined, and the population is now being migrated from the inland of the Xian Dynasty."

"Our Liang family's resource points, achievements, and meritorious service in these two states have been counted. Please take a look at the patriarch. When the two states are established, these resource points, record, and meritorious service will be settled."

As Liang Ruizhao said, he took out a jade slip and presented it to Liang Zhaohuang.

Liang Zhaohuang took the jade slips, poked his spiritual sense into it for a rough inspection, then nodded slightly and put the jade slips away, and will check them slowly later.

Liang Ruizhao continued:

"The vanguard of the royal family of the 'Red Ding' has arrived in Wuzhou, and has continuously sent people into the southern region of the demon country to search for intelligence and information. limited."

"The Wang family has sent letters of appeal to the family twice, requesting the family to send people to help the Wang family team to investigate the situation and information in the southern region of the demon country."

Liang Zhaohuang nodded slightly, and then asked, "Who is leading the vanguard of the Wang family?"

Liang Ruizhao replied: "It's the real Wang Chunyang, who has cultivated in the late stage of Jindan. Among the vanguard troops under his command, less than half of them are monks from the Wang family, and the other half are peripheral forces recruited by the Wang family and monks."

Because of his aunt and cousin, Liang Zhaohuang still has some understanding of the monks of the 'Red Ding' royal family.

This Wang Chunyang is of the same generation as Uncle Wang Chunlin, but unlike Uncle Wang Chunlin who is mediocre and relying on his wife and son to barely form a middle-grade golden pill, this real Wang Chunyang is the proud son of the 'Chiding' royal family, Chun Zi generation The object of the key training in the center is even the next generation of patriarchal successors trained by the Wang family.

And he himself is quite outstanding, relying on the practice of the Wang family's own inheritance, forming a top-grade golden elixir, it is also possible to hit the Nascent Soul Realm.

It's a pity that Wang Chunyang met his cousin Wang Junhui who had the support of the Liang family, but he directly took the position of patriarch from him.

Now, the other party led the vanguard team of the Wang family to come to test the situation in the southern region of the demon country, obviously with a plan.

Thoughts floated in Liang Zhaohuang's mind, and he ordered: "Don't worry about it, let them test it first, and our Liang family will take action when it's time for us."

"Yes."

Liang Ruizhao responded, and finally said:

"The imperial decree to open up the new state has also been invited. After more than a year, Da Zhongzheng sent by the Central Committee of the Xian Dynasty will bring it."

Liang Zhaohuang listened, and couldn't help frowning: "Who is this imperial decree awarded to, and who will it be in the hands of? Our Liang family, or the Da Zhongzheng who issued the decree?"

Liang Ruizhao immediately said: "My Liang family will control it."

Hearing this, Liang Zhaohuang frowned slightly.

The emperor's decree is an important means to deal with the demon king of the demon country. Whoever controls it will have the initiative. If it is controlled by someone else, as long as the other party uses a little thought and means, the Liang family may suffer heavy losses. Even catastrophe.

The matter was reported one by one, and Liang Zhaohuang handled it one by one.

As he had expected before, although there were many things in the past year or so, just like the calm before the storm, it was a quiet period that all parties needed, and no major changes occurred.

'Changfeng' Liu's and other first-rank aristocratic families wanted to reset the three provinces. At this critical moment, the Central Committee of the Immortal Dynasty, the royal family, and the Emperor finally agreed, and no accidents occurred.

Opening up Xinzhou's "Wuling County Wang" is about to stand out, and the central government of the Xian Dynasty, the royal family, and the emperor obviously have plans. What is needed at this time is stability, and they are unwilling to change.

As for the changes outside the Immortal Dynasty, the Demon Dao and the Demon Kingdom, they can still be resisted outside the Immortal Dynasty for the time being, and the Liang family is attached to the Immortal Dynasty, so they can naturally maintain temporary safety and stability.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang Zhaohuang retreated and broke through the late stage of Nascent Soul, and his strength improved again. When a storm really blows in the future, the big ship of the Liang family can at least sail more stably and ensure safety.

Liang Zhaohuang is here checking the information he has retreated for more than a year, and dealing with various affairs.

Inside and outside of Wuzhou city, as well as in the Liang family, because Liang Zheng's Yuanying Banquet is about to be held, it is also a time of hustle and bustle.

Needless to say, in Wuzhou City, there were many monks who came to participate in the Nascent Soul Banquet. Some of them participated in the banquet and wooed the Liang family, some took the opportunity to do business and conduct trade, and some wanted to investigate Wuzhou and the Liang family. For intelligence and information, it is also indispensable for those who want to investigate the situation of the "Wuling County Wang" family who are waiting to stand in the Northern Territory of the Demon Kingdom, and it is also indispensable for some hidden people with ulterior motives, which can be described as noisy and lively.

Even in the Liang family's land, it was equally lively at this time.

The Liang family's land, Danqing Garden, is exactly Liang Zheng's residence in the Liang family.

At this time, in the Danqing Garden, there is a lot of excitement, and a small banquet is being held.

The Zheng family of Liang hosted a banquet for the children of the Zheng family's 'Diyangmu' family.

As the origin of the 'Diyang Wood' Zheng family, it can be said to be the biggest support of the Zheng family. Now that it has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, the 'Diyang Wood' Zheng family naturally celebrated with the whole family, not to mention all of them came to participate in the Nascent Soul For the banquet, at least the direct and important children of the clan came, and there were dozens of people.

Liang Zhengshi naturally needs to host a banquet to entertain the people of her natal family.

At this time, at the banquet, the children of the Zheng family of Liang were in charge of entertaining the members of the Zheng family.

And in the living room of Zheng's residence, the head of the 'Diyangmu' Zheng family begged Liang Zheng, "Thirteenth Gu, you are now the Yuanying Zhenjun, can you talk to Master Zhou? Restore the position of governor of Huoshu County of our Zheng family?"

Liang Zhengshi sat at the top, looked at his nephew below, frowned and shook his head slightly, and said: "Don't think about it, the chief of the Zheng family took the position personally, unless the patriarch is persuaded, it is impossible to recover."

"Although I have been promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm, I still rely on the support of the Liang family and the patriarch. It is time to repay the family. How can I randomly interfere in the family affairs and disrupt the patriarch's arrangements?"

Hearing Liang Zheng's words, the head of the Zheng family couldn't help but look bitter, but seeing Liang Zheng's frown and displeasure, he didn't dare to pester him any longer. , What about the marriage between Yuling and Brother Chen, you are Brother Chen's mother, you should have the right to decide, right?"

Brother Chen is Liang Xiangchen, one of Liang Zheng's sons, and Yuling is Zheng Yuling, a daughter of the Zheng family.
