Chapter 594: Under the Stars
Before the sky curtain broke and the moon shone, Lan Changqing was standing on the top of Cuilan Peak, looking at the sky expectantly.
The Lan family, a small and medium-sized family in Yuzhou City, the ancestor once went to serve in the army, fought with underground demons, and fought for a knighthood of Eight Pinbo.
The third duke, the sixth candidate, and the ninth rank of the uncle, in the knighthood system of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, the eighth rank is the most basic title, but after all, it is also a knighthood.
With the title of this eight-rank earl, the Lan family maintained a very considerable small situation in Yuzhou City. Just in the southeast of Yuzhou City, 12,000 miles away, the Lan family has thousands of miles of fiefdom, tens of millions of people, hundreds of various mines and medicine fields, and even better, at the core of the Lan family's fiefdom, there is actually a small spiritual cave blessed land.
Relying on the foundation that the ancestors worked hard to earn, the Lan family has been cautious and cautious from generation to generation, and the generations of clansmen have been conscientiously taking care of the family business, befriending wealthy families from all over the world, and restraining the descendants of the descendants.
Especially after Lan Changqing took over the position of head of the family three hundred years ago, he used the means of 'hiding needles in the cotton' to operate through several successful marriages, so that the influence of the Lan family and the tentacles of the Lan family spread throughout one-tenth of the territory of Yuzhou.
Lan Changqing even selected dozens of elite clansmen, took half of the family's private army, joined the Shenwei Army, and went to the border wilderness to expand the territory and accumulate military merits for the Great Jin Divine Kingdom. Lan Changqing is quite ambitious, but he has no ambition, his goal is to let the Lan family in his hands, from the eighth rank to a slight improvement of two or three grades, it is enough.
The fifth or fourth rank of the uncle, the family's territory can be doubled or so, and it is enough to accommodate more and more members of the family, and the resources provided are also enough to supply more and more family monks.
Small, but very real goals.
Therefore, Lan Changqing is very cautious and careful, and never mixes with the so-called major events of the national dynasty.
He even learned the famous saying of the sage from a broken book, 'Only villains and women are difficult to raise', so he never mixed with Princess Jingsheng before, the so-called worship of ghosts and gods and stay away, he did this.
Therefore, when the new Yuzhou Duke 'Huo Xiong' arrived with a large army, he was the first to send a messenger to deliver a letter of surrender.
Therefore, when the wealthy clans in Yuzhou rebelled, he restrained the clansmen and did not mix in the chaos.
Perhaps because of that letter of surrender, when the Duke of Yuzhou ordered the wealthy families in Yuzhou to hand over the private army and reorganize into the Dongyuan Forbidden Army, he did not touch a single hair of his Lan family, and the wife of the Lan family spent the turbulent waves of Yuzhou peacefully.
The things that happened next made the Lan family, who were originally a little dissatisfied with Lan Changqing's conservatism and caution, completely convinced him.
Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that the Duke of Yuzhou would be so ruthless, and he actually slaughtered the remnants of the army under the command of the First Army and loyal to the previous dynasty in the first battle, killed I don't know how many generals, and even the four gardens and twelve guards under his own command were all poisoned.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.
The original Yuzhou Gong, and now the 'King An', is really a terrifying and dangerous element.
However, when King An led people back to Yuzhou, Lan Changqing was the first to ask all the clan elders of the family to come forward in person, and sent a letter of allegiance with sincere fear.
"The rest of the world is unpredictable, but at least ...... King An has the Black Sky Ding in his hands, and he also controls thirty-six Four Spirit warships. With such combat power, even His Majesty today has to give some affection. ”
Standing on the top of Cuilan Peak, Lan Changqing commented on the situation facing Wu Tie today with the usual caution and carefulness of the previous heads of the Lan family.
"To put it mildly, as long as King An is not bold and reckless, wantonly in his own country, and puts on a military posture that is too strong, it will threaten the situation of Qingqiu City, the imperial capital today, Your Majesty will let King An be stable. ”
"Let's talk about it......" Lan Changqing looked at the young and middle-aged people of the clan standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Today, the Taishi Ram is not dead, and King An's position is as stable as Mount Tai." And what kind of person is the Taishi today? If you want him to have an accident, it's very difficult, it's extremely difficult, it's very difficult...... Unless His Majesty wants to abolish his martial arts, otherwise, Master Taishi will never be fine. ”
"King An, King An, who is holding the Black Sky Ding and the Four Spirit Battleships, who else in the world is more suitable than him to involve the power of the Taishi?"
"King An, after all, appeared in front of the world with the face of betraying the first army and betraying the loyal ministers of the previous dynasty. He is in the middle of the court, it is impossible to form a party, and it is impossible to have too many vassals. ”
"A prince who has lost his reputation, but has mastered great strength, and is ruthless, ruthless, treacherous, and shameless...... Hehe, as long as His Majesty provokes a little bit of trouble, he can become hostile to Master Taishi, and they will be as powerful as fire and water, Master Taishi, I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”
"Such a means...... Tsk......" Lan Changqing pondered for a while, he nodded, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty still rewarded a little lighter...... If you want to fight with the Taishi, King An must at least become the master of the first hall, the deputy hall master of the Demon Suppression Palace, this position is not enough. ”
Several young people from the Lan family listened carefully to Lan Changqing's comments.
"However, yes, after all, he is a former courtier who has just surrendered, and the title of a king of An is prominent enough. Lan Changqing smiled and said: "Especially, now that King An has his strength, his strength has been greatly weakened, he has stabilized his own feudal kingdom first, and then accumulated enough strength before he is qualified to become the master of the first hall." ”
Holding his hands together and his fingers lightly touching the back of his hand, Lan Changqing calculated: "To say something rebellious, if I were Your Majesty...... Well, my Qingqiu Divine Kingdom inherited the four halls of Shenwei, Shenwu, Demon Suppression, and Demon Swinging in the previous dynasty, and the responsibilities of these four halls have been formed, and it is not appropriate for King An to go to any palace. ”
"Now that the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom is in great trouble, if two new temples are established, one is responsible for suppressing the prefectures and counties within the territory, and the other is responsible for fighting foreign enemies...... This may become a permanent institution of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom in the future, which is better than the invasion of the Great Martial Divine Kingdom and the hasty temporary establishment of a martial extermination army. ”
Several young men from the Lan family nodded thoughtfully.
A young man complimented: "Uncle, with the vision of you and the elders of the clan, as well as the means and talents, if you enter the court as an official, you should be a good minister." ”
Lan Changqing waved his hand and smiled faintly: "Entering the court as an official, this small body of my Lan family, being a small snake in this Yuzhou, can naturally live a free and nourishing life...... On weekdays, I think about some things that I don't have, and I also enjoy myself. ”
"Enter the dynasty as an official, look at the first clan, and then think about Zhao Xiu of the Zhao clan who died in the southwest...... What a big man, how miserable he died. ”
"The Lan family is too small to withstand the stormy waves. As it is now, it is enough. ”
Lan Changqing smiled and sighed contentedly.
Not greedy, that's fine.
He smiled softly: "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan...... These sentences, you have to wait for a long time to figure it out. Oh, it's hard to imagine what the primeval sages who wrote such beautiful but philosophical verses looked like?"
Shaking his head, Lan Changqing said leisurely: "Sometimes, contentment is a blessing...... Look at our neighbors, how many have fallen over the years? How many have been exiled? Haven't their land, their forests, their mines, their yards and houses all become ours now? Have we spent any effort? No, ......."
Turning around, Lan Changqing stretched out his hand and slapped the head of the young man who had just spoken.
"Also, the Xia family, who was ordered by the Duke of Yuzhou to raid the house and exiled the whole family to serve in the Dazezhou Army, didn't you buy several daughters-in-law of their family at a great cost?"
"Hey!" Lan Changqing sighed heavily: "At the beginning, uncle, I personally came forward to ask a few daughters-in-law of the Xia family for your boy, but what was the result......? Isn't it, the Xia family is a five-grade uncle...... His eyes were staring at Gao Zhi'er. ”
"But what is the result? I didn't want to be the eldest lady of my Lan family, and I sneered at you that you were a toad...... It's good now, I'm a girl who doesn't even have a name, and I'm not even a concubine, and I'm grateful to you for my ......."
"So, pick chrysanthemums under the east fence...... As long as you are not greedy, you can pick more and more chrysanthemums, more and more, more and more......"
"What about seeing Nanshan leisurely...... Nanshan is good, but we just need to watch it from afar. A little farther away, a little farther away, you can see Nanshan, but don't get close to him, it will save the landslide and crush you down. ”
"Now in Yuzhou, as well as in the surrounding Kyushu, King An is the South Mountain. We just need to look up, look at it from afar, look at it respectfully, and praise the majestic and heroic posture of Nanshan from time to time. ”
Lan Changqing smiled, and glanced at a glass pagoda with eighteen floors high suspended on the top of Cuilan Peak, each layer was eight corners, and the whole body was densely covered with wisps of extremely fine avenue patterns, faintly exuding powerful fluctuations of the glazed pagoda.
Unlike other families, the Lan family is only a small and medium-sized family.
The other wealthy families, those senior masters in their clan, if they have cultivated enough, they will extract their own perception and condense the Great Dao Light Dragon, and condense a Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon. The Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon forged by himself is undoubtedly his most handy weapon.
When the monks of the Womb Hiding Realm have exhausted their lifespan, or they can't stop the Heavenly Tribulation, and finally fall, this Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon can still be passed down from generation to generation, relying on the same bloodline to nourish, the Heavenly Dao Divine Soldier will become more and more powerful, and become the foundation of the clan.
The Lan family has a different thinking from these big families.
Why do you want generations of masters to sacrifice and forge a Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon separately?
Is it meaningful? Those scattered Heavenly Dao Divine Soldiers are nothing more than to strengthen the individual combat effectiveness of the masters in the clan.
But the Lan family has never been brave and ruthless, and has never easily clashed with others.
Instead of spending a huge amount of resources, manpower, and energy to forge a Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon, it is better to concentrate the strength of generations of clansmen and forge a heavy weapon that is far more powerful than ordinary Heavenly Dao Divine Soldiers, which can be called a 'Zhen Clan Artifact'.
Starting from the ancestor who was awarded the title of the Eighth Rank Gong, each generation of the Lan family had only three or five Tibetan Realm cultivators, each forging a Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon to pass on to future generations. In addition to these three or five carefully selected clansmen, the other masters of the Tibetan Realm, all their spirits and spirits, all their cultivation, were all used to refine this eighteen-story glazed pagoda.
The power of the Lan family is gathered here.
The Lan family has also tried, this glazed pagoda has condensed the essence and cultivation of countless clansmen and countless senior masters, and now its power is no longer under the ordinary innate spirit treasure.
Over the years, this glazed pagoda has undergone many times of refinement of the essence of star power.
This time, the gift of the gods, seven consecutive nights, the intensity of the star power essence far exceeded that of previous years, Lan Changqing and the elders of the clan have calculated, this glazed pagoda, it is really possible to directly turn the acquired into an innate and directly promoted to a real innate spirit treasure, when the time comes, maybe it can really have a little bit of the power of the Zhenguo artifact.
By that time, the Lan family's heritage ...... Hehe.
Lan Changqing smiled and said: "Remember, the reason why it is difficult for other big clans and wealthy families to sacrifice such treasures of the town clan is because their hearts are not as good as our Lan family. ”
"The people of their wealthy families are all high-spirited and heroic, and their mana and spirit are all vast and fierce, and they are fierce and fierce...... Even the clansmen of their various ethnic groups have different cultivation methods, and their attributes are very mixed. ”
"Where is our Lan family, all of them are indifferent, and all the clansmen love each other, and there is no distinction between the main house and the side branches?"
"And in our Lan family, everyone's exercises are a "Sword and Guts Qin Heart Record", nourishing the heart of the text, accumulating the spirit of the text, hiding needles in the cotton, and soft fit...... In this way, the ancestors from generation to generation can continue to bless this glazed pagoda, and only then can we have today's atmosphere. ”
"Remember, therefore, that your home and all things prosper...... My Lan family is not good at fighting and fighting, and there is only one word 'and', which is the foundation of my Lan family. ”
The young men of the Lan family nodded one after another, smiling all over their faces, and their bearings were as elegant and indifferent as Laneige.
Lan Changqing's words made them happy and convinced.
They even understood the general situation of the current King An and the current Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, which made them have great confidence and longing for the future of the family.
They turned their heads sideways, carefully cast their secret techniques, and looked at Anyi City, which was more than 10,000 miles away.
In the sky above Lanzhou City in the past and Anyi City now, the thirty-six Four Spirit Battleships were so huge, and the military array of the Five Elements Elves was even more huge and terrifying. More than 10,000 miles away, it is still clearly visible with secret techniques.
"However, after all, King An is now the lord of Yuzhou, and our Lan family can't do without the slightest expression. Lan Changqing said leisurely: "So, I will discuss with the elders of the family, and in a few days, among you, among the young people of this generation, choose a dozen or so to go to King An's Mansion to serve." ”
"You don't need any high-ranking officials to be prominent, it is enough for you to be some middle and lower-level petty officials and do some specific official correspondence. ”
"First, it seems that my Lan family respects King An. ”
"Second, in case my analysis just now is wrong, Uncle An, one day King An is raided and exterminated, and you will not be implicated. ”
"Remember to remember, under King An, don't behave too well, too smart, too capable, be a petty official and a petty official, and the gangster life is enough. The bigger the official, the greater the risk, this is a wise saying. ”
"However, King An, he is actually quite a good person. Lan Changqing smiled and said: "Uncle, I have carefully observed what King An has done along the way, and sometimes the methods are a little more ruthless, but really, as long as you don't provoke him, he really can't be regarded as a bad person." ”
"He may be a selfish man, but he's definitely not a bad guy. ”
"Just pay attention to the proportions you have to deal with him, and even he can be a very cute person who can be friends. ”
Lan Changqing commented on Wu Tie here.
At this moment, the canopy suddenly opened, and the moonlight and starlight shone down in the sky.
Lan Changqing waved his hand happily, and many masters of the Lan family worked together to raise the glazed pagoda into the sky.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and Hei Tianding spewed out billowing black gas, quickly surging in all directions. The Lan family was only more than 10,000 miles away from Anyi City, and in a snap of a button, black clouds rolled over, blocking the sky solidly.
Lan Changqing was stunned, and then subconsciously scolded: "Huo Xiong, I'm in the ...... of you-mother"
