Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 82 You want to eat the whole family, right?

Chu Mansion, Practice Room
After Chu Wujiang met with the Eighth Master and dealt with the matter properly, he returned to the practice room.

In this environment full of black ice, he relied on his Taiyin body and no longer needed to meditate. He could continuously condense his vital energy and practice without stopping.

For him, reaching the Yuandan realm is just a matter of time.

Chu Wujiang was resting on the armchair, thinking about the information he had collected so far. Xue Nu asked curiously:

[Sir, why don't you report the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion and let the court investigate? ]

She has begun to learn bad habits and knows how to use the power of others to her advantage.

Chu Wujiang chuckled:
[Chunlu, you have made great progress, but it is not enough.]

【You can’t just believe everything others say. 】

[What if Ba Cheng is a assassin sent by Fengyu Tower, deliberately misleading us to fight against Zhongyong Marquis Mansion? ]

The Snow Girl widened her eyes and said in disbelief:
【Is he a liar? 】

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:
【No, I believe he is sincere.】

【Assuming his guess is true, then things are more troublesome than we thought. 】

[The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect tried to welcome the Ghost Emperor, the Loyal and Brave Lord used witchcraft, and the saint practiced in seclusion. His later years may be unknown. If we string all of this together, it will point to one possibility.]

The Snow Girl asked in confusion:
【My Lord, what is possible?】

Chu Wujiang said softly:
[Some people want to repeat history and imitate the story of Emperor Wu.]

Even a commoner like Snow Girl couldn't help but be horrified when she heard this:

【How can this be? 】

Your Majesty has reigned over the country for nearly six hundred years. How could anyone be so bold?

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:

[One person is timid, two are bold, and three are extremely bold. ]

[Assuming that the Loyal and Brave Earl is really trying to use witchcraft and taking the risk of rebellion just to grab a few plots of land from the Chu family, this is too uneconomical.]

[Even if the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion succeeds and shares the Chu family's inheritance with other families, at most their land can double or triple in value.]

[Which wealthy person would risk killing his entire family just to double his assets? ]

【Unless he is crazy.】

The imperial court did not believe in the loyalty of scholars, but rather believed in the loyalty of the children of meritorious officials. The reason was that the meritorious officials and the country lived and died together, and the possibility of them risking the extermination of their clan and participating in a rebellion was too low.

At first, Chu Wujiang did believe that Lord Zhongyong wanted to wipe out the Chu family, but after thinking about it carefully, it was too far-fetched.

It's like someone selling arms just to grab the protection fee business in a city. The crime you commit is totally disproportionate to your profit.

The Snow Girl understood and asked in confusion:

「Then, what should I do, sir?」

Chu Wujiang thought for a moment and made up his mind:

[Naturally, they will unite with the Huo family and the Lu family to annex the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion. ]

[If the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion really studies the art of witchcraft, then the situation in Longzhou will be turned upside down.]

[This time, it is no longer other forces joining forces to wipe out the Chu family, but they and the Chu family are dividing up the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion. ]

Chu Wujiang had never expected that just by meeting with the traitor Ba Cheng, he would obtain such important information.

But he did not intend to release the bomb directly, but planned to wait and see for a while.

Otherwise, instead of killing the enemy, you might get injured.

After all, Earl Zhongyong is also a nobleman who has made great contributions on the battlefield. His strength should not be underestimated and he has deep connections.

If Chu Wujiang doesn't find any evidence, he cannot accuse him of practicing witchcraft, otherwise he will suffer the consequences.

【Now we just have to wait. 】

After hearing this, the Snow Girl said with conviction:

【Your Excellency is wise.】

Chu Wujiang listened to the Snow Girl flattering him while he lay down to rest and practice. After all, his subordinates were doing the work, so he just had to wait for the results.

[The last time the Ghost King incident happened, it happened too quickly, and the preparations were not sufficient. ]

[This time, we have to wait until the secret treasure promised by Governor Liu and the treasure soldiers of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion arrive before we can start the action.]

Chu Wujiang calculated his resources and lay down to sleep peacefully.

After an unknown amount of time, Coach Wang returned first and whispered:
"Master, we followed your instructions and found Ba Cheng's ancestral tomb and three secret treasures."

"I checked and found no poison or evil spirits. I just did a simple cleanup..."

Chu Wujiang was delighted. He was really lucky now. He had just asked for five secret treasures of luck from Fengyu Tower, and now he got three more.

Judging from this amount of money, the information provided by Ba Cheng is 90% true.

"No need to clean up anymore, I want to see them right away."

"Yes, master."

What’s more, the three secret treasures were sent over by Master Wang.

When Chu Wujiang saw them, he was stunned for a moment.

Because of these three secret treasures, one can guess their fortunes even without the [Book of Death].

The first one is [A Picture of a Hundred Children], the second one is [A Gourd with Many Seeds], and the third one is [Avalokitesvara, the Goddess of Childbirth].

Even if you don't have any knowledge about the science of destiny, you can understand that these three items are auspicious objects that bless you with many children and grandchildren.

For some wealthy families who have difficulty in having children, this is more valuable than ordinary auspicious items.

As expected, Chu Wujiang touched them with his hands and they showed as follows:

Hundred Children Chart: 160 points of white peach blossom luck
Multi-seeded gourd: 200 points of white peach blossom luck
Guanyin: 100 points of blue peach blossom luck
Ba Cheng is worthy of being the famous Eighth Master in the antique circle and the holder of the Golden Eye. Over the past twenty years, he has worked hard to collect these three secret treasures of luck.

If sold, each piece would cost at least 10,000 taels of silver. The last piece, the Guanyin of Childbirth, could be sold at a sky-high price of 100,000 taels.

The secret treasure of blue luck can almost turn around the body and mind of a family that has difficulty in having offspring, and influence its fate to a certain extent.

It's really good stuff.

No wonder Ba Cheng wanted to trade with the Chu family. Otherwise, if he traded secretly, it would be easily discovered by Fengyu Tower.

Seeing this, the Snow Girl couldn't help but ask:

[Mr. Ba has no wife or children, so what is the point of leaving behind this secret treasure? ]

Chu Wujiang could understand the other party's thoughts and said softly:

[Perhaps they don’t want you to have many children and grandchildren. ]

[This is the two sides of the same coin as Xia Yu. ]

In Ba Cheng's view, having one more child is equivalent to having one more slave.

Every time a nobleman gave birth to one more child, it meant having one more slave owner.

So he had to find a way to keep the secret treasure related to [romantic luck].

Of course, Ba Cheng doesn't have as extreme an idea as Xia Yu. He just wants to be a benefactor and have many children and grandchildren.

As a result, he took the risk this time, which naturally benefited Chu Wujiang.

"Fauber."

"The old slave is here."

The old butler was also very efficient. While Chu Wujiang was resting, he had already taken care of all of Ba Cheng's affairs.

"Bring me that [Blue and White Lady's Plate]."

"Yes, master."

[Blue and White Ladies Plate] has 90 points of white peach blossom luck, combined with the 160 points of white peach blossom luck on [Hundred Children Picture], it makes up exactly 250 points of peach blossom luck, equivalent to 500 points of white luck, which is enough to promote [Strange Fragrance].

Heavenly Book, give me some more!
Chu Wujiang stretched out his hands and placed them on the two secret treasures.

The two energies merged and lit up the stars.
