Chapter 10 Fengquan Steward, the Great Scholar, Situ Qigan, the Mayor of the Town, the third change
Ambition is the most basic means of creating changes in the world, so insane madmen are not terrible, but sane madmen are terrible!
Wind Spring Castle.
One of the most secret study rooms, this study can only be entered by Steward Cui and Situ Wangyue.
Steward Cui looked at the mayor with a sinking face, and stopped talking.
Situ Wangyue's face was white and beardless, and he was actually only thirty-six years old, he looked like he was in his forties, extremely mature and capable, because of the long-term retreat, his cheeks always looked a little abnormally pale and gloomy.
Situ Wangyue was only released after receiving a summons from Liu Zhilan, this is a day of historical significance in Ink Town, and it can't be done without the mayor.
The most strange thing for Steward Cui is that Mrs. has been married to adults for several years, and I don't know why I don't see them having children, although in front of their followers, Mrs. and adults show all kinds of enviable and harmonious husbands and wives, but for old rivers and lakes like Steward Cui, his eyes see the surging undercurrent behind the appearance of happiness.
Abide by his duty, don't ask too much, don't care too much, is a qualified steward must have, obviously Cui steward is such a person.
Even if he knew that over the years of his lord's retreat, his wife had almost completely mastered the power of Fengquan, and then recruited a large number of henchmen to control the various lifelines of Ink Town, but as long as Lord Situ did not take the initiative to ask, Steward Cui would never be stupid enough to say a word by himself.
What's more, Steward Cui knew that even Xiao Yun, the servant girl beside his wife, couldn't resist a move and a half, let alone those elite guards from the Liu family?
He knew that the adult had been cultivating a secret technique all these years, but every time he saw the adult's gloomy appearance, he shuddered, and dared to ask a question.
Over the years, he has conscientiously adhered to his duties, and has struggled in the power of his wife, just to get a word of affirmation from the adult, because no matter how soft and hard his wife is, he has not fallen to her side, and he has always successfully completed the things that the adult secretly explained, no matter how difficult it is.
So far, the number of real henchmen in his hands has grown to one hundred and sixty-one, and these people are all sworn to follow the adults after his rigorous test, although they may not be comparable to the elites sent by the Liu clan, but at least they are all good hands who can take charge of themselves. These people were assigned by him to countless dark corners in Beishang County, and the specific contact information and list were only known to him and the adults.
In fact, since he was rescued by Lord Situ's family more than ten years ago, Steward Cui decided to repay the favor, and he has always been not optimistic about the marriage between Lord Situ and the Liu family.
Obviously, although the Situ family is not a wealthy family in Beishang County, it has also operated for hundreds of years, and its financial power should not be underestimated, especially the several mineral veins of the Situ family, which are coveted by many forces, which may also be one of the main reasons why the Liu family does not hesitate to surrender their identity and marry Situ.
Those few veins are the heart of the Situ family, and in comparison, the income of Ink Town is much secondary, as long as the Liu family does not stretch out their hands to the veins, the Situ family will also turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.
I'm afraid this is the fundamental reason why adults have silently connived at Mrs. to develop their power over the years, Steward Cui secretly speculated.
But this time Madame's handwriting is too big, this battle is too gorgeous and intimidating, for a long time, those immortal sects can only be looked up to by the world, how could he have the luxury of intersecting with them.
Steward Cui knew that although his wife was now considered to be in Ink Town, she was not qualified to talk to the Xianmen sect. There must be a secret manipulation of this matter by the big family behind it, but the seriousness of this matter has attracted the attention of too many people, including several wealthy forces in the royal court.
In the eyes of those forces, the little-known Situ family is at most just a small grasshopper, they only need to move their fingers, and they can devour the Situ family in an instant without leaving any fur, so on the surface, this presiding over the selection of the Xianmen is an incomparably glorious thing, and to this day, only the descendants of the Situ family understand the danger and crisis here.
Originally, the Situ family buried their heads in Beishang County to make a fortune and be a low-key local chaebol, but since he greedily tried to take the giant ship of the Liu clan to obtain greater benefits, his fate was gradually no longer under his own control.
Looking at Situ Wangyue's tightly knit brows, Steward Cui suddenly felt a little sad.
This most promising young man of the Situ family seemed to be a teenager in a few years, and the smile almost never appeared on his face again.
He understood Situ Wangyue's worries, and he also understood the thoughts of adults.
Situ Mochiyue has always been an ambitious person, and this is what his family is most optimistic about him.
If this Xianmen selection finally brought the Situ family not glory but a catastrophe, then the Situ family, which is still greedy for ants and rabbits, will bite people in a hurry, and will never sit still!
This point is particularly strongly reflected in Situ Wangyue's body.
Situ Wangyue is the only hard-working person Cui Guan has seen in his life, and unlike many elite children of the family, he is meticulous and ambitious, and he never sleeps in his cultivation.
Steward Cui had seen an adult show his means in front of him once, and at a distance of more than ten meters, a round table-sized piece of green steel stone was turned into a pile of powder by him with a casual wave of his hand!
It was after that that that Steward Cui became even more desperate for Situ Wangyue.
Another biggest reason is that Steward Cui knows that Situ Wangyue is a disciple of the Secret Immortal Sect, and he is eager to gain the favor of adults and get a trick and a half, not to be rich and rich, but to be able to protect himself.
After all these years of retreat, I don't know how terrifying the cultivation of adults has become!
Steward Cui is sure that the immortal sect to which the adult belongs is definitely not worse than the sect that came to participate in the selection this time, because only he knows that the real supporting force behind the Situ family is this immortal sect, and seventy percent of the Situ family's mineral materials have been taken away by this immortal sect!
Perhaps this is the biggest trump card of the Situ family!
The Liu family, that's just a flag covered up by the Situ family!
However, if this selection of the Immortal Sect caused the Situ family to attract the attention of these great immortal sects, or aroused the covetousness of the major clans in the royal court, then the Situ family would have to be cautious and take precautions to deal with it.
Steward Cui bent down slightly, waiting for the adult's orders.
Situ Wangyue looked out of the half-open window of the study, a little distracted.
This retreat was even better than expected, and it must have something to do with the pressure from all sides.
The sect has always cultivated him as a core disciple, on the one hand, it is certainly related to the continuous supply of mineral materials by his family to the sect, and on the other hand, it is really related to his cultivation potential.
Situ Wangyue was leisurely fascinated because he thought of a certain scene galloping across the heavens and the earth, the scene of a certain family standing at the peak of Tianxuan, and all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.
Glancing at the calm Cui steward, Situ Wangyue was very satisfied, although this person has mediocre qualifications, but he has brains and ambitions, and the most rare thing is that he is extremely loyal to him!
Steward Cui was originally a dog-headed military advisor of a group of sand thieves, and when the sand thief gang was exterminated, he was lucky to be injured and escaped and was rescued by an elder of the Situ family.
Situ Wangyue put down the report in his hand that was only three pages long, but it was clear and unobstructed, and said softly: "Scholar, you have worked hard these days!"
This sentence flattered Steward Cui, and he felt that his eyes were red, and his waist bent a little more: "My lord, the scholar has not done enough, but the scholar's strength is limited, and he wants to share more worries for the adult, but he can't do it, and I hope the adult will forgive the sin!"
"I know your mind very well, you remember a word, since you have chosen to follow me without regrets, I will definitely let you never regret your decision, or it won't be long before I really stand on that peak, you will be the only one who can stand by my side, that is an incomparable glory. Trust me to do it!"
Situ Wangyue's eyes flashed with a palpitating light, Cui Shusheng's heart was hot, it was that kind of light that attracted him to follow the adult without regrets, and now he has been affirmed by the adult, and he has also heard the adult's words that show his will, his waist suddenly straightened, and he almost slapped his fist on the chest a few times!
What is he for? Isn't he just going to work hard with adults until that day???
"My lord, the scholar swears to follow him, if there is that glorious day, the scholar will die without regrets!"
"Well, I'm afraid that only you know my mind in this world, which is why I always value you so much. Today I will pass on a secret technique to you, and you will come with me--" Situ Wangyue's tone suddenly became extremely cautious, and he got up and walked to the largest bookshelf.
I saw that he gently moved his hand on several books in a certain order, and the bookshelves suddenly parted left and right, and the ground cracked gently with the separate bookshelves, and then a dark cave was revealed.
Over the years, Cui Shusheng didn't know that there was such a setting in this study, and it seemed that it was not much different from the secret place where the adults retreated, and thinking that he was about to be taught secret skills by adults, his originally unusually calm heart couldn't help but shake violently.
Situ Wangyue stood at the entrance of the cave, chanting words in his mouth, his hands danced, and a large series of mysterious and simple seals were conjured, and a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the cave, and a staircase made of white jade rose up.
Situ Wangyue took his hands behind him and said indifferently: "Come with me, scholar." ”
When he walked down the stairs first, Cui Shusheng followed closely.
When the two entered, the staircase was immediately withdrawn, the cave was no longer bright, and the separate bookshelves were closed again, and from the outside, they looked the same as before.
Many years later, standing at the pinnacle of the empire, Cui Shusheng can't help but recall today's scenes.
The years are glorious, and I don't know how many heroic dreams are hidden in the long river that rushes by・・・・・・
