Chapter 101 Concubine
Ever since Chen Jiu suffered a lot under the Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact, he has practiced even harder.
Every day he would sit cross-legged on the top of the Shenlian Peak without moving, taking various immortal pills and blood soul pills to practice, and he no longer cared about the affairs of Jiuling Mountain.
Luo Li turned into a true virtuous wife. Not only did she manage Jiuling Mountain in an orderly manner for him, she also sent people to do everything possible to collect magical herbs and medicines for him.
After being beaten up by him, Zhao Yuchu seemed to be much more obedient. Zhao's troops even retreated more than a hundred miles and completely lost contact with the Qinglian Sect.
He really wanted to continue practicing peacefully like this until he understood the way of Qi and blood, the way of water, the way of wood, and even the way of space. However, after only a few days of practice, someone came to him.
That evening, the sun had just set and the sky was filled with red clouds when a huge white figure suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Jiuling Mountain.
How he wished it was Jiaona who came back.
Unfortunately, no, it was still the old Aries who came, and the Aries who was sad was the fiery girl from Qingyang Zhang.
What is this little girl doing here again?
Chen Jiu's spiritual sense had already scanned the other person, but he just sat cross-legged on the top of the Shen Lian Peak without moving.
He didn't have time to deal with them right now. Luo Li would handle whatever happened and he was too lazy to care.
Unexpectedly, after Luo Li went up to her and said a few words to her, the little girl still brought the old white sheep who had transformed into a white-bearded old man up the mountain.
Chen Jiu could only sigh, slowly stood up, and asked helplessly: "What's the matter with you?"
Zhang Wanxia actually said fiercely: "Little thief, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"
Such a bad temper!
Chen Jiu said helplessly: "Why did you come here for no reason? I'm busy practicing and don't have time to play with you."
Zhang Wanxia actually said fiercely: "You want to chase me away, right? I want to play here, and I want to stay here."
Did you have gunpowder for lunch?
Chen Jiu could only helplessly say: "I didn't say to drive you away. If you want to stay, then stay. Ah Li, take her to find a courtyard. She can live wherever she wants. Just don't disturb my practice."
Upon hearing this, Luo Li hurriedly pulled Zhang Wanxia down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the old man with white beard who was the incarnation of the old Aries did not follow.
He said rather awkwardly: "Master Jiu, don't be angry. Wanxia has been in a bad mood these days."
I don't have time to be angry with this little girl.
Chen Jiu was quite nice to his own people. After all, the Qingyang Zhang family had cooperated with him to deceive other wealthy families, so they could barely be considered his own people. He would not get angry if the girl said a few words to him in a harmless way.
He was quite polite and said, "We are old acquaintances. You can just call me Jiu. What happened to Wanxia?"
Old Aries sighed slightly and said, "The Crown Prince actually said that he was bored and wanted Wanxia to accompany him, and even wanted to take Wanxia as his concubine."
This guy is really sick in the brain!
Chen Jiu shook his head helplessly and said, "This Crown Prince is too arrogant, is this possible?"
Old Aries also said helplessly: "This kind of thing is naturally impossible. The royal family does not care about family affection. In the past, some wealthy families wanted to climb up the relationship with the royal court and take advantage of the situation, but they were used by the royal court and fell from grace.
Those who entered the palace to become concubines even lost their personal freedom. It is impossible for Wanxia, who is so active, to enter the palace to become a concubine. We, the Qingyang Zhang family, don’t have to count on the support of the imperial court. "
Chen Jiu simply spread his hands and said, "Why don't we just ignore him ?"
Old Aries sighed helplessly, "The Crown Prince is holding on to her. Not only does he keep sending people to urge her, he also threatens our Qingyang Zhang family, saying that if we don't agree, he will take over our house in the capital and remove all the officials of the Zhang family in Guangping Prefecture."
This guy is nothing.
If I can't afford to offend you, I can always hide from you, right?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but wonder, "Qingyang seems to be in Chizhou Prefecture in South Zhili, why are you running to Guangping Prefecture in North Zhili?"
Old Aries shook his head slightly and said, "We, the Qingyang Zhang family, are not in Chizhou Prefecture in the Southern Zhili. We are in Qinghe in Guangping Prefecture in the Northern Zhili. In ancient times, Qinghe was Qingyang."
Uh, well, I know too little about these wealthy families.
Chen Jiu said awkwardly: "So what do you decide to do?"
Old Aries suddenly stared at him and said solemnly: "Our ancestors think you are a good person, and your skills are even more impressive. The news that you have dealt with the Zhao family has spread throughout the New Domain."
What's the meaning?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "Don't you know what the relationship between me and Ali is?"
Old Aries said seriously: "What's the big deal? Every capable person has three wives and four concubines. Even the emperor has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines."
Isn't this a bit outrageous?
Chen Jiu still found it hard to believe and said, "The Green Lotus Sect and the Imperial Court are like water and fire!"
Old Aries looked around and said carefully, "Our ancestors said that the imperial court is becoming more and more unreasonable. If the throne is passed to the current crown prince, the Ming Dynasty will most likely fall! The aristocratic families are also becoming less and less competitive. Who will be able to take over the world by then? Now it seems that Luo Menghong's talent is not as good as yours! Besides, will those two idiots from the Luo family compete with you?"
Has this ancestor Hongyun become a spirit?
Chen Jiu was stunned and asked, "Are you going to tear your face off with the imperial court?"
Old Aries nodded slightly and said, "If the Crown Prince really wants to tear his face off, we will move to the new domain."
this!
The Qingyang Zhang family ranks among the top ten among the aristocratic families. If we can win them over, many aristocratic families will not only follow us, but will also not stand on the side of the Zhao family.
If one really wants to seize the world, one must fight for what the aristocratic families can gain.
Chen Jiu stood there for a while, then asked, "What does Wanxia think? Has your ancestor asked her?"
Old Aries said lovingly, "She is willing to come and live here, which proves that she doesn't dislike you. Wanxia has been following the old ancestor since she was a child. Her temper is a bit like the old ancestor's. In fact, she is a very good person."
Well, since Qingyang Zhang has this intention, let’s try to get it.
Now that they have come to our door, we certainly cannot turn them away. At the very least, we have to entertain them well and show our appreciation.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, and then asked, "What does Wanxia like to eat?"
Old Aries said without hesitation: "She likes to eat meat, any kind of meat."
No wonder it’s so popular.
He did have quite a bit of meat, but most of the big monsters, small monsters and monster kings were shared with his two elder brothers-in-law. He only had one pot, or one dish, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to entertain them like this.
Chen Jiu simply summoned Sun Dasheng and the 100 monkey demons and ordered them, "Dasheng, take them to hunt some meat, and then have the best chef of the Qinglian Sect cook it. We will entertain the eldest lady of the Qingyang Zhang family."
Treat well?
I don’t quite understand this!
Sun Dasheng was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully: "Master, what should we hunt?"
Chen Jiu pondered, "Catch whatever is in the nearby forests. Go fast and try to come up with as many tricks as possible."
Oh, so that's how it is.
Sun Wukong waved his hand quickly and hurried away with the group of monkey demons.
Soon, the aroma of meat wafted from the cave under Linlang Peak.
Zhang Wanxia also took a fancy to the house where they used to live, which would be convenient for entertaining them.
When Chen Jiu saw that the table was full of meat, he put the table, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks into the Immortal Palace. Then he came to the top of Linlang Peak and smiled at Zhang Wanxia who was enjoying the scenery with great interest, "Wanxia, it's getting late. You must be hungry. How about eating something first?"
Zhang Wanxia turned around and asked in surprise, "Little thief, when did you become so nice? Weren't you just ignoring me with a stern face?"
Chen Jiu smiled awkwardly and said, "No way, I was just contemplating the truth and didn't pay attention to what you said."
Will you still attain enlightenment?
Zhang Wanxia nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I forgive you. I'm a little hungry too. Is there anything delicious?"
Of course there is.
Chen Jiu simply raised his hand and took away all the stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion and replaced them with a table full of meat.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanxia couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, so much meat, so fragrant!"
Luo Li was also surprised to see such a large table of meat, but she was worried that several people could not finish it. She was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Ajiu, where is Lao Er? How about asking him to eat together?"
Where has this guy gone wandering around again?
Chen Jiu swept his spiritual sense and pulled Wang Er, who was sleepwalking, over.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanxia was surprised and asked, "Hey, is this your brother? Why is he full of evil spirit?"
The second wolf demon king didn't want to talk.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu simply joked, "Second Brother, don't you know yet? Gillian and the others are coming back soon."
Wang Er was surprised when he heard this: "Really?"
Of course it’s fake!
Boy, don't blame me for lying to you. I'm entertaining guests, so you have to greet them with a smile.
