At some point, the sky was dark, clouds were shrouded, and thunder was churning in the clouds.

Fine snow mixed with ice carries the rain down.

In the inland lake, the water of the pond froze with layers of ice flowers.

In Penguin City, after a year, this place is even more bustling.

According to the statistics of some production analysis post players, there are more than five million players in the Xu family.

Over the course of the year, Penguin City has expanded several times in a row, and its area has already reached the level of a real metropolis.

The prosperity and prosperity cover the breadth of business, which makes people amazed.

Xu Laohan tightened his cotton clothes, returned to the residence with half a fan of pork, and muttered with emotion: "This day is really weird." ”

Thinking back to the changes in the Xu family's mortal jurisdiction over the past year, he felt a dream.

High-rise buildings rise from the ground, every household is brightly lit, and you can receive a minimum security allowance at the city hall every month.

The NPCs of the Xu family, who were still living in the simple era of farming last year, really couldn't understand the world.

You don't have to do anything, you can go to the city hall and receive a minimum allowance of 1,000 yuan a month.

It should be known that 1,000 yuan is enough to buy 200 kilograms of grain.

And for an adult, twenty kilograms of rice is enough for him to eat for a month or two.

The days when there are people to raise while lying down, the mortals of the Xu family have never thought about it.

And what they can't understand is happening every day.

"Daddy~~"

The crisp shout made Xu Laohan, who was carrying half a fan of pork into the house, blossom.

A small figure rushed out of the door and into the old man's arms, and behind him, a woman stood by the door with a baby in her arms.

In the past, in winter, there were occasional people who froze to death, but now, every family has a new house, and the wind and snow outside the house are gone.

In the conference room of the city hall, Xu Shiyun convened a large number of middle- and upper-level ruling officials to hold an annual summary meeting.

In the territory under the jurisdiction of the players' guild, some guilds are also convening high-level meetings to formulate strategies for the coming year, as well as this year's income dividends.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

At the same time, there are also celebration dinners and other activities.

However, while these guilds stopped repairing, some guilds were still working hard to sail.

At this moment, the Labor Talent Guild was sailing a warship that he had purchased less than three months ago, sailing in the skies over the waters of Xujia's house.

The target is a destination outside the Xujia Islands, called Hongshan Island.

"It's almost there, brothers, according to reliable sources, there are more than a thousand indigenous NPCs on it."

"Hey, hey, as soon as you sell a person, it's the income of a spirit stone, and we can earn at least a thousand spirit stones this time."

"While those big guilds are holding annual meetings, let's go and eat this piece of meat first."

The number of labor talent guilds is small, only six people, and the person who speaks is the president of the guild, and it can also be said that he is the boss of the labor talent company.

The five people who were poured chicken soup had different inner thoughts, but they did not show it on their faces.

Despite the boss's words, everyone in the guild understands that what they are doing now is to capture slaves and buy and sell people.

Although before leaving, they had already voiced the slogan of justice to save the suffering natives.

But what he did was to buy and sell human beings, which is indelible.

Although Penguin City states that it prohibits the buying and selling of foreign NPCs, the punishment is not strong, at most it is a fine for catching money.

It's not as serious as abusing and defrauding the Xu family NPC.

It is important to know that Penguin City's protection of the Xu family's NPCs is very strict, but anyone who crosses the boundary will either die or be tortured to death.

A discerning person could see at a glance the attitude of Penguin City towards the Xu family's mortals and foreigners.

In this way, it can be imagined.

This kind of thing had corresponding signs as early as half a year ago, but now it is becoming more and more unscrupulous.

---------

On the border of the Xujia Islands, Xu Qiuxia personally appeared and negotiated with Wang Shouhe under the protection of the Star Formation.

As for asking Wang Shouhe to go to the clan land to discuss, it is completely unrealistic.

The Xu family was worried that Wang Shouhe would blow himself up in the clan land.

Wang Shouhe was also worried that the Xu family would block him with a formation and trap him to death.

Negotiations in the open sea are obviously the most suitable place.

Wang Shouhe didn't see the female cultivator who killed his junior and lost his face, and he was a little disappointed, but he still had a correct attitude and discussed with Xu Qiuxia.

"The predecessors still looked at Haihan, the year before last, it was really the fault of the clan sister, and now she thinks she knows her mistake and was punished to the ice cave at the bottom of the lake to think about it."

Xu Qiuxia said, took out nearly 10,000 spirit stones, handed them to Wang Shouhe and said, "Talk about your heart, and hope that the seniors will not blame." ”

Xu Qiuxia is also really ruthless enough, he doesn't say anything politely, and he really uses spirit stones to make amends.

Originally, this was obviously Wang Shouhe's soft and wanted to negotiate peace.

But as a result, the Xu family paid and whispered.

Face, dignity or something, absolutely exceeded.

The foundation of the Xu family is built, and they even feel that Xu Qiuxia is too cowardly and unworthy of being the patriarch.

Especially Xu Xianyan was the most angry, obviously it was him Wang Shouhe who came to ask for peace, how could he return them to apologize.

In his opinion, Xu Qiuxia's behavior is really despicable.

Wang Shouhe's heart was relieved for a while, and most of the grievances and depression that had come to the door to seek peace were dispersed.

"Patriarch Xu is polite, this matter is also my fault."

Seeing that the patriarch of the Xu family was so easy to speak, Wang Shouhe couldn't help but have a different thought, and coughed lightly: "I see that the Xu family is now in a gap with the lord of Hiroshima. ”

Xu Qiuxia immediately frowned in his heart.

Without waiting for him to speak, Wang Shouhe smiled and continued: "If our two clans can form an alliance, then the Guang family will be invincible to us, and then the Hiroshima Immortal City will still have its territory, ~~." ”

Xu Qiuxia was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this Purple Mansion cultivator, who had originally attacked his Xu family, would turn around and want to unite with his Xu family to attack the Guang family.

If it can be done, there will definitely be a lot of benefits, but the disadvantages are not without it.

After thinking about it for a moment, this kind of thing is really not impossible.

But Xu Qiuxia would not rashly agree, he just wanted to delay now.

All things, wait for Xu Qiuyue to break through the Purple Mansion, and then talk about her thoughts.

But the work still has to be done.

An hour later, Wang Shouhe left.

Xu Qiuxia also returned to the clan land.

What Wang Shouhe and Xu Qiuxia talked about just now is how to form an alliance, how to deal with the Guang family after the alliance is formed, and a simple division of interests.

"I want the Qiuyue clan sister to marry into the Wang family to form an alliance, this Wang Shouhe is really a good calculation."

Xu Qiuxia sneered.

Whether Qiu Yue wants it or not, he must be unwilling.

It's not that he likes Xu Qiuyue and doesn't want her to get married, the most fundamental reason is that if Xu Qiuyue marries into a foreign clan, the Xu family will be taken out of his heart.

The Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator who is expected to break through the Yuan Infant Realm, no one with a sick brain will let her marry outside.

Soon after Xu Qiuxia returned to the clan, his weakness in negotiating with Wang Shouhe spread among the monks in the Xu family.

Obviously, Wang Shouhe proposed peace talks, but Xu Qiuxia showed cowardice.

For a while, the monks in the clan were brought to the rhythm.

Even, this matter has reached the ears of players, causing a lot of turmoil.

Xu Xianyan smiled and sighed: "The player is really powerful, and there is still such an idea as public opinion warfare." ”

"Use public opinion to make the monks in the clan disgusted with him, and become the one who is spurned by a thousand people."

"At that time, what face will he have to sit in the position of the patriarch?"
