Tianjing, Prince's Mansion, Study

"Brother, the results are out."

"On the surface, the Rongguo Mansion has confiscated 1000 million mu of farmland. According to the information reported by the Champion Marquis, there are 200 million mu of hidden farmland. The Champion Marquis plans to give 100 million mu to honor his eldest brother, keep the remaining 50 mu for himself, and leave the other 50 mu to the Zhen family."

"Give them a little more respect."

"The rest of the property will be divided in the same way."

"Of course, the Zhen family's magic weapon [Falling Moon Bow] was not kept by the Champion Marquis, so it will be handed over as well."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was delighted, as this would give him more land to distribute and more resources to reward soldiers in his personal name.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Wouldn't it be too little for the champion to win?"

Prince Yusheng shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, bro. According to the investigation of Hidden Dragon Pavilion."

"The actual land hidden by the Zhen family was about 500 million mu. He took 200 million mu and left 200 million mu to the Zhen family as a favor."

"The data reported here have all been processed."

Prince Yusheng has an accurate assessment of the property of the Zhen and Bao families.

Every force wants to swallow up the property of other families. The Zhen family and the Bao family are undoubtedly the most perfect sacrifices, which is also the reason for the anxiety of the two families.

They can only rely on the Duke of Zhenguo. Once his favor is gone, the family will be devoured by tigers and wolves.

Prince Yusheng had accurate data and specifically reminded his elder brother that Chu Wujiang was not as honest as he seemed. He had taken advantage of many things when he went to the Rongguo Mansion to search and confiscate the property.

The prince smiled and said:

“It’s as it should be.”

"The Champion Marquis has made great contributions, so it is only natural that he should be given some good treatment."

"If he doesn't eat, I'd be a little worried."

"Ms. Lu has been buying vegetable fields, houses, and real estate recently. It seems like she wants to live in Tianjing for a long time. This is a good thing."

Prince Yusheng said quickly:

"Brother, it's not just that."

"All the well-known women in the Zhen family, from young ladies to maids and widows, were taken away by him."

"what?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was slightly stunned. Was this a bit too much?

"tell me the story."

Prince Yusheng explained:
"For example, Madam Wang is the eldest daughter-in-law of Duke Rong, Wang Yan."

"An accident happened on the day she married into the Duke's Mansion. Zhen Shijie, the eldest son of the Zhen family, had an affair with the wife of a servant of the Duke's Mansion and died of a stroke."

"Duke Rong's Mansion was afraid to say that she was destined to bring bad luck to her husband, so they kept her as their daughter-in-law."

"I never thought that Wang Yan was a resourceful person. She won the favor of the old lady and gradually took control of the financial power of the Zhen family. She also set up a money house and secretly lent money to earn interest."

"The old lady is very satisfied with her and praises her for her good management of the household. Her reputation in Tianjing is not bad."

"Who would have thought that the Champion Marquis would just snatch it away. Isn't that embarrassing?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not help but ask:
"How do you rob?"

Prince Yusheng is in charge of intelligence, and he keeps talking:

"The old lady wrote a divorce letter, proving that Wang Yan had no relationship with the Zhen family anymore, and then Wang Yan voluntarily sold herself to the Chu family as a slave."

"From a procedural point of view, everything was done with our mutual consent."

"But everyone knows there is something fishy going on."

"You said that the Marquis of Guanjun has taken a fancy to the second daughter of the Zhen family. The third daughter is fine, and marrying her as a concubine is not a big deal."

"Why doesn't he even spare a widow?"

Prince Yusheng couldn't help but think of how the Princess of Donghai became his wife when he was in Longzhou. Now the clan office is trying its best to hide it, and it is rumored that the Princess of Donghai has died of illness.

Prince Yusheng got a headache when he thought of Chu Wujiang's lawlessness.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh:
"Third brother, this is a good thing."

Prince Yusheng's face darkened and he said:

"Brother, if this gets out, everyone will say that you acquiesced, which will damage the reputation of the prince's party."

"We should stop him."

When everyone saw Chu Wujiang being fearless and domineering, their first reaction was that the prince condoned this behavior.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter. How much is this reputation worth?"

"I want to make other nobles understand that this is the fate of colluding with the Nine Evil Paths."

"As for the Champion Marquis, is he such a lustful person?"

Prince Yusheng really wanted to answer yes, but after meeting Chu Wujiang, he didn't think Chu Wujiang was so crazy, so he shook his head and said:
"It's true that he likes beautiful women, but he always knows when to advance and when to retreat. Could it be that..."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded with a smile and said:
"Yes."

"He wanted to express to me that I should accept this kindness and not doubt him."

"It has been a means for generals to protect themselves since ancient times."

Prince Yusheng said quickly:

"But he would have been fine if he had just snatched one, but he also snatched Li Xian, the second daughter-in-law of the Duke of Rong's mansion."

"Li Xian is a female teacher at Qimeng Academy. She specializes in teaching girls from various families to study and make progress. She has a very good reputation and has even been awarded the chastity arch by the Confucian school."

"If this gets out, the Confucian sect will have to send someone to deal with him."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand and said:

"The chastity arch can be taken back. Who would go to the Chu family for such a small matter?"

"Duke Rong's family deserves the punishment they received. Third brother, there is no need to persuade them any further."

"What's more, the Champion Marquis is addicted to women, so it's good to suppress his luck."

Heroes and great men cannot indulge in women. There are many lessons from this throughout the ages.

The idea that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came up with based on his experience cannot be considered wrong.

Most people who are addicted to women will damage their own luck.

Just like a swordsman, a knifeman, or a warrior, if he hangs out in a brothel every day, it is easy for his own talent to decline.

After all, not everyone has the ability of [Panlong Guqi], and if a hero encounters a few goblins, he will become weak.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in high spirits when he saw the happy event, and he smiled and said:
"By the way, the Champion Marquis only picked women from the Rongguo Mansion, which may not be enough."

"The Jin family that just fell also has outstanding women, as well as women from the Ningguo Mansion. Third brother, send someone to select some, and say it was my idea, and send them to the Marquis' Mansion."

Ah, big brother still thinks it’s not enough.

Just as Prince Yusheng was about to retort, he heard the Crown Prince say earnestly:
"Third brother, don't dwell on such trivial matters. You need to take a long-term view."

"Just talking about that magical weapon, the Falling Moon Bow, is it not worth those women?"

"The benefits that Champion Marquis took were not that much. I asked him to confiscate the property as a reward for his merit."

"If he spreads his influence in Tianjing, it will be much easier to control him in the future."

"Don't you think the Ning and Rong families are strong?"

"If the Ning and Rong mansions really start a riot, how much damage can they cause by using the remains of the Three Tribulations Primordial Spirit?"

"Now they are like cattle and sheep, at the mercy of others, just because they have families and concerns."

"Oh, Third Brother, go to Qimeng Academy and tell them not to cause any trouble."

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first heard the news about the Ning and Rong mansions, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If the Ning and Rong mansions assist the Nine Evil Paths in launching a surprise attack at the Young Heroes Conference, their success rate will still be very high.

It can be said that Chu Wujiang's plan to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was of great merit.

Secondly, when Chu Wujiang’s house was searched, he did not take the magic weapon, the Falling Moon Bow. He only asked for some women, precious weapons, treasures such as natural resources, and land, real estate, etc. He did not take more than that.

Anyone who dares to complain about this matter is disobeying the imperial court.

Prince Yusheng had no choice but to agree and said:
"yes, Sir."

"Wait, let me know about this."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said calmly:

"From now on, the money and food for recruiting young heroes can be doubled."

"The contestants who get the token will receive an additional 100 taels of silver as subsidy, which will be called the silver contributed by the solitary."

This time, the Ning and Rong mansions were raided, and the money would not go into the national treasury.

Most of the corrupt officials’ property is generally redistributed.

The high-ranking officials got a part, the personnel in charge got a part, and the emperor got a part.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calculated the profits from this time and felt more confident. He took out the properties of the Ning and Rong mansions, which were enough to launch an expedition.

This way, the pressure on the Minister of Revenue will be reduced, and the money is paid by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which will help him accumulate his own prestige and use it to break through "Emperor's Dragon Fist".

The more the prince practices this martial art, the more recognition the people of the world have for it, the faster he will practice it. If he makes great achievements and is rewarded by the True Dragon, it is not impossible for him to break through to the Soul Realm in one fell swoop.

Prince Yusheng quickly agreed:
"yes, Sir!"

The prince said earnestly:
"Third brother, destroying the nine evil paths and forming a heroic battalion are our top priorities."

"The Nine Evil Paths want to besiege the Imperial College. This is a huge opportunity for us."

"Just lie in ambush there and lure them out."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes flickered, as if the golden avenue was right before his eyes.

……

Taoranju, back garden

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was delighted by the unexpected surprise, and so was Chu Wujiang's maid Sima Ning.

As a witch of the five desires under the command of the devil, she has an extremely vicious vision.

The Five Desires Witch can tell at a glance whether a woman from the Zhen family is outstanding in appearance, a virgin, or has special skills.

The Rongguo Mansion was a large family with many women, so they could only be sent in batches. Sima Ning checked them in batches and said to the women:

"Don't be sad, don't be upset."

"You will serve the Champion Marquis and become the node of your change."

"When you look back in the future, you will thank me for it."

Who will thank you?

The girls were secretly complaining and had different expressions on their faces.

He was originally a servant, and his expression was indifferent.

Those who were originally young ladies were terrified.

Sima Ning ignored their fear and instead planted his spiritual thoughts on them one by one, and reminded them:
"Although the Marquis doesn't care about you, you should not try to resist, lest you embarrass me."

The women covered their faces and cried, but they had no choice but to obey Sima Ning's instructions, got on the carriage and went to Taoran Ju.

One car after another.

Sima Ning planned to hollow out the foundation of the entire Rongguo Mansion and select sufficiently outstanding servants for their master, just as the Princess of Wei did in Shengzhou.

They believed that Chu Wujiang was destined to be a king, the king of demons.

And under the throne, there needs to be enough servants.

……

Taoranju, back garden

Baili Jin looked at the gathered women from the Zhen family and felt as if he was in another world.

A few months ago, she was still a rebel in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion and could only work for the Chu Family to fight for a glimmer of hope for her family's survival.

Now she has become Chu Wujiang's guard, and now she has also become the captain, managing the new slaves.

The wonders of life's circumstances are hard to describe.

Baili Jin stood in front of the girls just like that day and shouted:

"Don't cry! What's there to cry about?"

"The servants and children of the Duke Rong's Mansion will be assigned to the Punishment Camp and sent to Prison State to fight against the Evil God King's Court."

"You just become slaves and do menial work."

"Could it be that you haven't enjoyed enough of the luxurious life you had in the past?"

After Baili Jin's scolding, the women of the Zhen family stopped crying and dared not make a sound.

At this time, Wang Yan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Rong's Mansion, took the initiative to step forward and said with a flattering smile:

"Sir, we are not crying, we are just crying with joy."

"The Marquis is a young hero famous throughout the world."

"It is such a blessing for a girl from the Zhen family to serve the Marquis of Guanjun. It is such an honor and a rare opportunity!"

"If it were in someone else's house, I don't know how many people would be envious."

The women looked at Wang Yan in shock, and some who valued chastity arches began to curse him inwardly.

"How can the young lady be so disgraceful?"

"She's just like a shameless woman."

"Just as the Duke's Mansion was in trouble, the young mistress actually went to the Chu family to beg for mercy and curry favor. How can this be allowed?"

The women present were filled with indignation, but no one dared to stand up.

Baili Jin listened to it and took note of those people who gossiped. In the future, he would assign them the worst jobs to let them exercise their brains.

Baili Jin praised:

"You are very good. What's your name? You will be able to make a name for yourself in the Chu family in the future."

Wang Yan said quickly:

"My name is Yan, Wang Yan. I wonder what you should call me, sir."

"Baili Jin."

Wang Yan was well-informed and immediately showed a look of shock:
"Could it be the Baili family who has fought in the yellow sand for a hundred times and wears golden armor?"

The Mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery is quite famous in Longzhou, but few people know about it in Tianzhou. Unexpectedly, Wang Yan has done very well in his studies and has already memorized the information of all the nobles, aristocratic families, and sects in the world.

The surname Baili is very rare, and considering the family's martial arts "Yellow Sand Hundred Battles", Wang Yan guessed it right at once.

Baili Jin showed some appreciation:
"good."

"You are very capable, you can be my deputy."

Just as Yanluo chose Baili Jin in the past, Baili Jin chose Wang Yan today. Wang Yan showed his delight and said quickly:

"Thank you for your grace, sir."

"I will do my best to assist Master Baili."

All the women present fell silent.

In just a moment, Wang Yan climbed up and was one level higher than them. The woman who had just said bad things quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she would attract everyone's attention. Baili Jin saw that everyone was timid and understood that Wang Yan was very prestigious in the Zhen family and was suitable to be a management talent.

Baili Jin nodded with satisfaction:
"You may not know the Baili family. The Baili family once made great contributions on the battlefield of Yuzhou and was awarded the title of Loyal and Brave Earl. They are in Longzhou."

"Did you know what happened to the Baili family later?"

The girls shook their heads.

Baili Jin sneered and said:

"The Baili family was exterminated because they colluded with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

"Thousands of heads fell in one day, including my grandfather."

"Now, are you still crying?"

Silence, terrible silence.

The girls finally realized that there was a huge gap between them and the man in front of them, not in martial arts, but in awareness.

Baili Jin said coldly:

"The Baili family deserved their punishment and received the fate they deserved, and the same goes for the Zhen family."

"I know that some of you will resent the Marquis for preventing you from living a life of luxury and peace."

"But you are wrong."

"You should thank the Marquis for taking you in instead of letting you suffer a more miserable fate."

Baili Jin faced the women, and these women who once were high and mighty in the Zhen family, all lowered their heads.

At this time, Baili Jin's tone began to warm up:
"The Chu family is not some man-eating monster."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I was born as a fifth-class slave of the Chu family just like you. Later, I made meritorious contributions, and the Marquis allowed me to be free."

"As long as you are willing to work hard, your future life will not be worse than that in the Duke's Mansion."

First give them a few hits with the stick, then give them some candies.

The woman from the Zhen family's eyes suddenly lit up.

They seemed to be just working for the Chu family, and it was not as scary as they imagined. They all breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in unison:
"We are willing to follow Lord Baili's instructions."

Not bad, not stupid.

Baili Jin saw that the time was right and began to explain:

"From now on, you can register any abilities and talents you have so that the Madam can make arrangements for you."

"Your performance in the Chu family will be recorded as merit, which will help your family in the future and reduce your punishment."

The women were moved and shouted:

"Please give me your orders."

Baili Jin nodded with satisfaction:
"Come in line and write down all your information."

"Those with good martial arts skills will be given priority, and those who join the Dragon Guard will be given priority."

"The so-called Dragon Guards are the Chu family's shadow guards, who specialize in helping the Marquis deal with enemies who act in secret. This job is more dangerous, but the results are greater."

Baili Jin clapped his hands and ordered several maids to bring tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and asked the women present to write down their own situations clearly.

Baili Jin would not directly recruit them as shadow guards, but would only train them as a reserve team.

While the girls were filling out their information, Wang Yan quietly came to Baili Jin, took her hand, inserted a jade pendant, and said softly:

"Master Baili, I don't have any skills."

“The greatest skill is managing money and people.”

"Please be more accommodating, sir."

Baili Jin's expression changed slightly, he stuffed the jade pendant back, and said coldly:
"I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to do such a shameless thing."

"Put the jade pendant away quickly, or else don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Yan was secretly surprised.

She had been in the Rongguo Mansion for a long time, and even as a doorman, she was well versed in the routine of soliciting bribes.

Why doesn't this method work in the Chu family?

Wang Yan quickly apologized with a smile:
"Master Baili, I just want to see the Marquis, please forgive me."

Baili Jin still said unceremoniously:
"My Lord, can you see me whenever you want?"

The women of the Zhen family now feel like they are waiting for good fortune.

They were not thinking about how to please Chu Wujiang, but about creating opportunities to meet Chu Wujiang.

Wang Yan said quickly:

"Master Baili, you may not know that I am in charge of the money in the Duke of Rong's Mansion. I know the financial flow of the Duke's Mansion very well and can definitely help you, Lord."

Baili Jin hesitated when she heard that. She quickly used the soul seal to ask about Chu Wujiang's situation.

Because she knew that the Marquis was in the practice room and normal people were not allowed to disturb him.

Chu Wujiang said softly:

"Let her come."

Baili Jin then nodded and said:

"You are lucky. The Marquis allows you to pass."

"Pay attention, cover your eyes, and don't try."

There is not only one training room in Taoran Ju. Nobles always have three burrows to avoid being attacked secretly while they are in seclusion.

Chu Wujiang doesn't care too much now, but Baili Jin seems old-fashioned.

Wang Yan quickly covered his eyes, followed Baili Jin's instructions, and walked towards the practice room.

……

Taoranju, exercise room

The whole Tianjing was very lively, except for Chu Wujiang, who created all this. After returning from the Zhen family, he had been staying in the training room. He was not as lustful as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had expected.

He was more interested in the black key hidden in the Zhen family and the illusory world of Taixu.

In the past, the ancestor of the Zhen family had the good fortune to visit the illusory land of Taixu. Perhaps he met an immortal and received guidance. After returning, he devoted himself to following the saint and pacifying the world.

Maybe he is a prophet who can predict good and bad fortune.

Maybe it is a treasure, with countless natural treasures.

This made Chu Wujiang concentrate and calm down, and test carefully.

"Hey, what's the secret of this key?"

"It's definitely a bit strange."

Chu Wujiang injected vital energy at first, but there was no response, so he injected magic power, spiritual consciousness, pure yang energy, and so on.

As a result, all of them were in vain.

No reaction is the biggest reaction.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but take out the story of Duke Rong and start reading it.

Six hundred years ago, Duke Rong was mainly responsible for making weapons for the army. Unlike Zhen Yingcai and other young masters who looked skinny, he was instead big and strong.

He was extremely loyal to Di Hao, and had used his own blood and essence many times to refine divine weapons, precious weapons, spiritual weapons, etc. for various families.

When the Zhen family was at its peak, they had ten magical weapons, more than Chu Wujiang has now.

If all these magical soldiers were still there, the imperial court would not have confiscated the Duke Rong's mansion.

As for the consumption of the magic weapons, it was naturally because too many of them exploded during the siege on Emperor Wu.

During the great war at that time, the magic weapons were treated as consumables as if they were free of charge.

After that great war, Duke Rong seemed to have consumed too many lives, so he stopped forging divine weapons and focused mainly on precious weapons.

As a result, only one Falling Moon Bow was kept at home.

With such a relationship, the court should still give it some respect.

Chu Wujiang looked at the information provided by the Rongguo Mansion, and the last word was only sixteen words:
【Only those who are destined to receive it can obtain it. 】

【The illusory world is all false. 】

If Duke Rong was lucky enough to obtain the treasure of the Great Illusionary Land, why didn't he just take it away directly? Why did he leave this key behind?

Could it be that everyone only has one chance to enter the Land of Illusion?

Chu Wujiang used the Heavenly Demon Secret, the Silver Moon Secret, and even the Destruction Secret, but there was still no response.

He couldn't help but think:
【Only those who are destined to see it can see it. 】

[Fate may be related to luck. How about injecting some luck points to try?]

Chu Wujiang had just tried to resonate his own luck, but the black key still had no reaction. Now that many of his methods had lost their effects, he decided to waste a little bit.

The disaster started.

Chu Wujiang began to melt his own national destiny and tried to inject the original dragon energy into it.

no response.

Chu Wujiang's methods, which had always been effective, were now ineffective.

[I don’t believe it.]

[How can a mere broken key stop me? ]

Chu Wujiang snorted coldly and tried each of his martial luck, fortune, physical luck, soul luck, literary luck, and financial luck one by one. He chose the one with the highest level of luck, melted a little bit of it, and injected it into his body to see the reaction.

It was not until he injected the luck of [The Sea Embraces All Rivers] that he finally saw this illusory world emitting a faint light.

There is a door.

Chu Wujiang has two orange peach blossoms, as well as many purple and blue peach blossoms. He begins to mobilize the power of disaster water, corroding the luck one by one and pouring it into the key.

Something surprising happened.

After the key emitted light, it quickly disappeared, which indicated one result: the person was not lucky enough.

The degree of light gave Chu Wujiang another guess. Even if he incorporated all his luck in love into it, it might not necessarily open up the illusory world of Taixu.

That would be too much of a loss.

Chu Wujiang showed hesitation.

He has a golden boy and a jade girl, which is expected to open up this illusory world.

[Only with silver peach blossom luck can one open the illusory world. Could it be that the first Duke Rong was a romantic? ]

[I have never heard of any similar deeds by him.]

Chu Wujiang hesitated for once.

[Logically speaking, Duke Rong kept this thing because he definitely thought it was worth the money.]

[Anyway, this silver luck has not reached the usage standard, so I'll take a gamble! ]

Chu Wujiang began to inject silver peach blossom luck bit by bit.

He felt great pain as he watched the key devour these luck points.

50 points, 100 points, 150 points!
After absorbing 150 points of silver peach blossom luck, the key finally emitted a strong light.

Chu Wujiang quickly kept the last 50 points of his romantic luck and did not use them all.

Then his hand holding the key was engulfed by a silver light.

"Who is the romantic one in the creation of the universe?"

"It's all just for the sake of romance."

There were whispers in Chu Wujiang's ears.

Soon, he saw a vast white world, which was very similar to the prophet's hut that Chu Wujiang saw in Shenmo.

Shrouded in fog.

The master of the Grand Illusionary Realm continued:
"You are not a romantic person, so you are not allowed to enter."

"But you are entangled in karma and worldly karma. I don't know how many women have close relationships with you and have committed sins with you."

"Only this love and fate can allow you to see the illusory world."

"Go home, go home."

Chu Wujiang's face changed slightly. He wanted to drive me away after having absorbed so much of my silver peach blossom luck.

That doesn't make sense.

The master of the Grand Illusionary Realm said calmly:

"I don't want the fortune you bring."

"Go back, go back."

"Remember, the women you marry are all treasures in the world."

"You are not a romantic, but you have formed a bond with these women. Don't let them down in the future."

The master of the illusory world of Taixu sighed and wanted to drive Chu Wujiang away completely.

Chu Wujiang was not convinced, and he immediately retorted:

"I have never let down any woman in the world."

"How can this not be considered love, how can this not be considered fate?"

"Now the fairy is even more reckless in saying everything, isn't that a serious offense?"

The master of the Grand Illusionary Realm continued:
"You have tied countless red strings around your body, changing the fate of countless women and gluing them to your body. Is this what a romantic person does?"

Chu Wujiang laughed and said:

"What I like, I will possess and obtain."

"If you don't even dare to do this, how can you be a romantic?"

"Those crazy men and women can't be romantic."

You say I am not, but that is why I am.

My love is spread all over Longzhou and Tianzhou, so I can naturally be considered a romantic.

The master of the Grand Illusionary Realm suddenly fell silent.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

"I can't explain it to you."

"You are not a romantic person, but you have a love sin. This Love Sin Pagoda is for you."

"Don't come again, and don't harm women in the world again."

As soon as the words fell, the white world suddenly disappeared.
