Run into the world

Chapter 478 Arrive at Shen’s house

The headquarters of the Fu family is located in Shenfu along the coast. The economic development here is very good, but it is not really a good headquarters for a Thirteen-Pillar family because there is no land to defend in coastal cities.

Before the catastrophe, he was basically outside the strike range of all weapons. After the catastrophe, there are too many points where he can land close to him. Whether it is domestic forces or foreign forces, they may try to take advantage of him.

Yes, the idea of ​​​​a Thirteen-Pillar Family!

But the idea is not to harm the Fu family, but to enter the Fu family's eternal illusion.

Among the people, intelligence is actually divided into two levels. One is the civilian level. They have not even heard of the existence of the eternal illusion. The other one represents the middle layer between the common people and the Thirteen Pillar families. There are countless families and forces in this area, and they have their own sources of intelligence.

There is a consensus that the power level in the eternal fantasy world is generally higher than the power level in the ordinary fantasy world.

The higher the power level, the higher the upper limit of power you can get. In order to gain power, many people don't mind risking their lives.

Moreover, the eternal illusion will never end, and there is no setting to eject entrants, so there is no need to worry about the danger of being blocked by the Fu family. The worst case scenario is that we will continue to live in an eternal illusion. Only real power is real!

Because of this, the Fu family has deployed a lot of power in their base camp, far more manpower than other Thirteen Pillars families.

"The Fu family was originally a shipping company. Later, when the business became large and they caught up with the shipping trend after the disaster, they slowly developed. However, they had no experience at the time, so they opened the Eternal Illusion in the Shenfu area, attracting Caused a lot of trouble."

Fu Qingmiao was in a good mood. He pointed at the scenery on both sides along the road and introduced it to Duan Muxiang. Duan Muxiang leaned on the carriage and browsed with interest.

Following the explanation, Duan Muxiang raised her eyes and looked towards the tower, and she saw someone she knew.

After all, whale baleen can also be used to make piano strings, but what good things do sharks have? No matter how delicious the meat, which has no aura at all, can arouse the slightest interest among the warriors. And would warriors go to the deep sea to kill whales for a trivial profit? No, so there are experts in shipping, but there are really not many experts in fishing.

Although he didn't really 'meet' Shen Zhaodi's biological father, ninety-nine times the other party died at his own hands. He was really afraid that this girl wouldn't care.

Duan Muxiang almost blurted out, but was interrupted by Shen Zhaodi waving hello, "Uncle, I brought you raisins!"

"The climate here is really good, and there is a port over there. In the past, when the Fu family had not become the Thirteen Pillars family, we had no power to take charge. Therefore, many foreign forces sneaked in from there, and from time to time there would be people Stealing into the Eternal Illusion. Forced us to build a manor inside the Eternal Illusion for internal defense." Fu Qingshan also introduced next to him, "Now that we have completely taken over the port, it is equivalent to expanding the defense circle. , and there is no need to make those defending the Eternal Illusion so nervous."

Fu Qingmiao then continued: "Of course, this is just to deal with some new innate warriors. Real masters don't actually need to land from the port, and some even dive here from Hong Kong Island or Xiaori. .”

"The last large-scale battle against the cursed land was also based on Fujia Port. We built some archery towers. However, in order to prevent the merchants from having too much pressure, the shape of the archery towers looks like antique architectural towers. Normally, It’s still open to the public for visits.”

Fu Qingmiao came over and hugged him a little distantly. She was more like a daughter than Shen Zhaodi.

He had also been to the Shen Mansion in his previous life, but it was all for business, so there was no way he could be in such a leisurely mood.

"Hahaha, well said!"

Seeing Shen Zhaodi handing over the grilled sausage in a foolish manner, Duan Muxiang still took it without paying attention to the greasy little hands. In fact, she felt relieved.

Wen Wen was very enthusiastic every time she saw him. Next to her was Shen Zhaodi. The two of them were holding grilled sausages with one hand and waving at him with the other. Waving... waving, what the hell? Her hands were shiny, and Duanmuxiang was speechless for a while.

Caring leads to chaos. Even someone as strong as Duan Muxiang will always worry about gains and losses when it comes to the people he cares about.

"No, thank you." Duan Muxiang politely refused.

"Haha, thanks, do you want to try it?" The other party smiled and handed it to Duan Muxiang.

Wen Wen next to her burst out laughing. Duan Muxiang looked at the two women and really didn't know which one had led the other to bad.

Shen Zhaodi took out a bulk bag from her pocket and threw it over. The other party reached out to catch it and ate a handful, showing no elitist airs.

Shen Zhaodi stretched out two fingers and poked her own eyes, "Look!"

Duan Muxiang is funny. Every city has its own situation. Sometimes it sounds outrageous, but it also has its own logic in it.

"..."

"The Fu family used to be businessmen, not an established family, so there aren't that many rules. You spend the money you earn on your own, and you can never enjoy it too much. Especially when power is not involved, there is no malfeasance, so The ancestors of the Fu family expanded the courtyard to this extent."

And this middle-aged man, Fu Ge, was actually a little more reserved, "Well, okay, go and give your mother some incense. Dinner will have to wait a while."

Duan Muxiang nodded clearly. After the catastrophe, the deep-sea animals became a bit fierce. Of course, the fierceness is not directly proportional to the strength. Even a large shark with a length of tens of meters cannot withstand the swords of a late-stage innate master.

Yes, large sharks that are tens of meters long are not uncommon in today's world. Unfortunately, these large sharks have no way to practice, so they use their size to bully the innate warriors. Meeting an innate master is totally unsatisfactory, but none of the innate masters would bother looking for marine animals.

Wearing a waistcoat shirt, decent trousers, neat short hair, a pair of round glasses on the bridge of his nose, a slight smile, he looks like an elite, and everything he does makes sense, as if he is standing at the highest point of morality as soon as he appears.

Of course, everything has exceptions. There are always some countries or groups that carry out hunting activities in the name of "customs", "religion", etc. This has not changed much before and after the disaster.

Fu Qingmiao, who was next to him, noticed Duan Muxiang's thoughts. He rolled his eyes and pulled Shen Zhaodi and Wen Wenwen into the carriage. Then he wiped his greasy hands on Duan Muxiang's body, which caused another burst of laughter.

"You guys are very laid-back, but you know that I worked so hard on your sister's affairs that I even got dark circles under my eyes."

"I'll go with you." Duan Muxiang said.

The harmonious atmosphere between Fu Qingmiao and Shen Zhaodi made Fu Qingshan a little confused. He had to admit that he had never understood women, otherwise he would not have been reduced to asking his master to order him a mandarin duck recipe. But even if he had never tasted pork, he had seen pigs running away. His sister's magical operation made him feel that his sister was not a woman!

Everyone wandered back to the ancestral home of the Fu family. There were obvious signs of expansion here. The architectural style was more like Su's garden, which was different from the Zhao family and the Li family. It had the temperament of a nouveau riche with a scholarly family background.

'Is there a possibility that this guy has a big nerve? '

But now it seems that the 'father' whom I have never met is just a noun, or that the weight of this noun is far less than myself?

Wow, what a strong daddy flavor!

"Brother Duanmu, this way!"

'It seems that your sister-in-law trusts you very much. Even if her sister was kidnapped, she was not worried at all! '

At this time, there were not many people who were qualified to interrupt Duan Muxiang and still sound like an elder in their tone, so when Duan Muxiang saw the person coming, he immediately guessed who he was.

"it is good."

"Do you believe there is a trace of gleam in my eyes?"

Fu Qingmiao explained with a smile. Duan Muxiang did not mean to look down on him at all, and said with a smile: "As you can imagine, Eastern people always pay attention to humility. It is a very basic custom or principle to not reveal wealth. It has nothing to do with having a clear conscience. It doesn’t matter, after all, the world will not change according to personal sentiments or styles. On the contrary, those who are complicit are the ones who make the rules.”

"What are you looking at?"

Fu Qingmiao looked at him meaningfully from behind, and Duanmuxiang didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

The two of them walked towards the depths of the big courtyard together. There were many servants along the way. When they reached a rather remote corner, Fu Qingmiao suddenly exhaled and amused herself, "So this is what it feels like to go back to your parents' home." Ah, hehe!"

"Look at how silly you are." Duan Muxiang said amusedly, "Have you never experienced such a vulgar and down-to-earth greeting before?"

Fu Qingmiao asked curiously: "How do you know?"

Duan Muxiang shrugged, "In the previous life, we relied on the unknown air-retaining stone technology. We actually had brief contact with other Thirteen Pillar families. Later, when we were doing business in the capital, we once wanted to rely on this one-time relationship to embrace Hug your thighs. It’s a pity that I haven’t even passed the concierge level... But at that time I saw several children of the Thirteen Pillars family returning home to celebrate the festival. "

Fu Qingmiao frowned slightly, but it was a little hard to imagine, "I'm really not familiar with concierges and stuff, but I know that it's normal to eat and drink cards, but I didn't expect you to have such an experience. Hmm... Then our family doesn’t want a concierge in the future?”

Duan Muxiang shook his head, "Concierges, housekeepers and the like are always needed. After all, even if you are full of calculations, you cannot handle all the little things. It's just that the decision of who the master sees or does not see cannot be decided by a concierge."

Duan Muxiang sighed, but did not say which Thirteen Pillars family he was rejected from. After all, he was not so cautious.

Fu Qingmiao took Duanmuxiang all the way towards the ancestral hall at the back. Maybe it was not very common in the north, but there were still many places like Xiangtang ancestral hall in the south.

As Fu Qingmiao walked, he introduced the Fu family's internal knowledge to Duan Muxiang, "The Fu family is actually no different from other big families. In the beginning, they were just a few brothers within the family, and each of them developed in a different direction. Everyone worked together for the benefit of the family, but after the family's successful rise, there were differences due to interests, and after the relationship became dull, today's big houses and second houses or three, four, five, and six houses were formed, etc. The competition with the Zhao family once again united everyone. rise, and the fall of the Zhao family has made internal struggles the theme.”

Fu Qingmiao said with a smile again: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you very much. My father's ability to completely secure his position as the head of the family is also related to your achievements in dealing with the Zhao family."

Duan Muxiang raised his eyebrows, "If that's the case, why are you thinking about getting some kind of marriage? To attack your father?"

"Maybe there is this reason. After my father became the head of the family, this lineage naturally became stronger. If the other families want to protect their own interests, they must unite. Of course, they will not fight with real swords and guns. , but to make my father fearful and understand that although he is the head of the family, this huge Fu family is not his alone. I am just a chess piece."

Duan Muxiang looked at her strangely, "If that's the case, your father shouldn't let them do whatever they want. He will definitely stop them. Otherwise, how can he show his authority?" Fu Qingmiao spread his hands, "Since those people have decided to make trouble, they will naturally find them. A foolproof reason. My father’s character is very predictable. As long as their proposal can bring great improvement to the family, then he will definitely agree, even if it is his own daughter who needs to be sacrificed.”

Duan Muxiang suddenly said, "What kind of family dares to steal my wife from me? How do you want them to die?"

Fu Qingmiao burst into laughter and slapped him angrily, "Don't make trouble, isn't this all done by the elders? What does it have to do with the Chen family?"

Duan Muxiang rolled her eyes and said you don't hold grudges, but...

"Haha, the Chen family, forget it. I remember that it was the Chen family that Chu Yiwei married, but Wuming took the advantage. Originally, I felt sorry for the Chen family, after all, they didn't offend anyone. Now I see , Well, the guilt in my heart is gone, hahahaha!"

Fu Qingmiao also laughed, her laughter as sweet as silver bells. The maids passing by all saluted, and the young lady's return seemed to surprise them.

Fu Qingmiao added: "Among the Thirteen Pillar families, the Chen family and the Zhou family are actually two special families. They are responsible for the external affairs of the Chi Kingdom. They are not only powerful in the Chi Kingdom, but also internationally. They are also very influential, and because they are abroad, many resource businesses do not need to be reported to the country, and other families have nothing to do with them. It can be said that they are the upper class among the Thirteen Pillars families. Of course, each family also They all have trump cards, so it’s hard to say who is definitely better than the other.”

Duan Muxiang smiled, "I see, no wonder all the marriages are with the Chen family, huh? If that's the case, Hou Guangming is a very good son-in-law. Although Zhong Tianai is an illegitimate daughter, She is also the illegitimate daughter of the Zhou family!"

Fu Qingmiao thought for a while and nodded, "You are right to say that."

"Well, okay, I roughly understand the cause and effect. I can't say which family was stronger in the past, but in the future, the Duanmu family will definitely be the strongest!"

"..."

Fu Qingmiao pursed her lips to hold back a smile, "How can you develop your family with such a lazy look?"

"Isn't this because of you!"

While Duan Muxiang and Fu Qingmiao were chatting and joking, they had already arrived at the ancestral hall. Pushing open the antique house, Duan Muxiang did not look around leisurely. After all, it was a place dedicated to memorial services, and he did not want to be so rude.

Fu Qingmiao led him to a wall filled with memorial tablets. There were many such walls.

"Mom, my daughter is getting married, so I brought this guy who had my daughter in my arms to show you."

Duan Muxiang happily followed the instructions, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law is more promising than your husband."

Fu Qingmiao: "..."

The woody incense in front of the mother-in-law's memorial tablet had a bit of a driving force, which made Fu Qingmiao laugh out loud, and it seemed that she could only truly relax here.

After offering incense, the two went to the guest room. Despite Fu Ge's kind face, the accommodation arranged for them was still in the guest room. In other words, Fu Qingmiao was only here to attend his brother's wedding by blood. , but they are not included in the Fu family.

"Very good, just focus on business, hahaha!" Duan Muxiang really didn't mind, he was afraid that the old men from the Fu family would get involved.

The yard that Fu Ge arranged for them was very large. It was obviously within the ancestral residence of the Fu family, but it was bigger than the yard of the Shen family. Similarly, Shen Wuming, Chu Yiwei and others were also here.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, I heard you made a big splash." Baiyue smiled lightly, looking like he wasn't surprised at all.

Duan Muxiang's expression was also very calm, "I'm just dealing with some annoying things. In fact, I'm not a combative person."

Baiyue looked very understanding, nodded and sighed: "Sometimes in order to deal with worldly affairs, you have to use some means. When they know how powerful you are, they will be much cleaner."

Before Duan Muxiang could continue to show off, Shen Wuming came over there supporting Chu Yiwei.

"No, it's only been a few months, and my belly hasn't even shown that I'm pregnant. What are you talking about?" Duan Muxiang gave him a big roll of her eyes.

Chu Yiwei was helpless. She glanced at Shen Wuming complainingly, but sighed: "I told him more than once, but he didn't listen...Thank you!"

"You're acting a little stiff, I don't even know what you're thanking for." Duan Muxiang said with a bad smile.

Chu Yiwei was a little embarrassed, "I was so panicked before that I didn't believe Brother Duanmu." She was about to bow deeply, but was grabbed by Shen Wuming.

"My dear, you are inconvenient, don't do this!"

Chu Yiwei: "..."

Worshiping the moon: "..."

"What the hell...forget it, where is your eldest sister?" Duanmuxiang did not talk to Mo Zuoren.

Shen Wuming pointed to a room inside, "She was quite normal at first, but she hid in the house as soon as she heard you were coming."

Duan Muxiang opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. Shen Meng'er was different from Shen Zhaodi and Shen Wuming. As the eldest sister, she had met her biological father before. Her emotions must have been complicated, even though she had not tasted any father's love.

"You have to say it yourself." Fu Qingmiao pushed him uninterestedly at this time. Did he say before that we would face it together? Is this how you treat each other as angels?

"Where's Marissa? This is exactly when we need her. Why are we so timid at the critical moment?"

Shen Wuming also pointed to the room, "Is she in there too? That girl is useless. When my sister cries, her claws become numb and she is useless."

Duanmuxiang gave up completely and walked towards the room inside. The group of people dispersed with a roar, as if they were afraid of being splashed with blood.

Even Baiyue looked at it with interest, what? Have you also begun to study human nature?

Duan Muxiang knocked on the door, and a hoarse voice came from inside, "Come in."

Duan Muxiang was in a heavy heart. As soon as she entered the room, she looked at the red-eyed Shen Meng'er and the dull Marissa.

"Crying? Well...why are you crying?"

"Repay kindness."

Shen Meng'er answered very cheerfully, which made Duan Muxiang feel relieved for a moment, and said with a smile: "Is it over yet? Come out to eat after it is over."

Shen Meng'er wiped her eyes, but this time she was a little hesitant, "Did Miss Fu tell you?"

Duan Muxiang didn't react for a while. When she saw Marissa's blushing face, she thought, "Halo! Why do you follow this stupid trick? You know me. Even if we have nothing to do with each other, I will protect the Shen family."

"This is different. Over time, people will gossip, which will be detrimental to your reputation and will also make Miss Fu unhappy. Only by completely relying on you can we legitimately enter the Duanmu family's camp. In addition... I actually don't understand. Why are you so nice to my Shen family?"

Shen Meng'er's already red eyes looked at Duan Muxiang with watery eyes. He also knew that the other party was unsure, but Mu Xiang was not prepared to tell him about his rebirth. He just spread his hands and said, "A long time ago, your Shen family was kind to me. It’s just that you don’t remember, it’s as simple as that, the way you look at me, I’m not lying.”

The two women really couldn't see any signs of lying on his part, but Duan Muxiang didn't say it, so they couldn't get entangled. But Duan Muxiang didn't want to repay the favor, "In my opinion, the decision you made was a bit hasty, even if If you don’t care about yourself, how about Marissa? You know, we are comrades who live and die together, fighting side by side so many times. Now you let me sleep with her, how can I feel embarrassed, how can she feel embarrassed!”

Marissa blushed again, but Shen Meng'er said categorically: "I made a choice, and if she wants to follow me, she has to make a choice. I never force her! Besides, isn't she good-looking? Since you are so familiar with each other, Well, wouldn’t that be a better start?”

Duan Muxiang punched her fist when she heard this, "Oh, I understand!"

"What do you know?" Shen Meng'er asked curiously.

"So you're the attacker!" Duan Muxiang said with a smile: "Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance. The one who looks gentle and virtuous is actually the one who takes the initiative!"

Shen Meng'er was discouraged and said, "I'm not joking with you, and you don't have to bear the burden of taking in an enemy's daughter. I am willing to do everything." After the matter was explained, she felt very relaxed.

Duan Muxiang was rude, "Look at the way you don't want money now. If you say I will protect the Shen family, I will protect you. You don't have to sacrifice yourself. What you are doing is the same as a marriage. How is it different from what other families did before?" ? You’d better think about it carefully yourself!”

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he felt a sense of loss and added, "I'll stay open tonight. If you're really that persistent, I don't mind either!"

"..."
