Chapter 614: A Promise of a Thousand Gold

Shangjing, Zhu family

The so-called Zhumen hangs high and covers, and it will be famous forever.

This Zhu family has always been a very low-key existence in the family, and Zhu Xingxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge of the sacrifice and has never participated in court politics.

He is a good gentleman in the political arena, kind to others, and has won praise from his colleagues.

If it weren't for the coup d'état this time, who would have imagined that he would still be a martial arts master at the visible level, hidden deeply.

Now, after the coup d'état, he is returning home to educate his son.

"Qinghou, that Xu Zishuang is not a good match for you."

"She cares too much about Xu Shi'an's prodigal child, and she messes up the world's proportions."

"There is no grass at the end of the world, if you fail again this time, listen to the father."

"Cui Shangshu's daughter, who knows the book and is a disciple of Tianyinmen."

"Although her martial arts skills are not high, she is proficient in mathematics and is good at buying real estate, which is the life of Wangfu and can be your wife."

Zhu Xingxiu also doesn't like characters like Xu Zishuang very much, she is too strong, and she does not meet the ideal women of Confucianism, nor does she meet the needs of the Zhu family.

"Father, but ......" Zhu Qinghou was a little resistant to his father's interference, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

"My father knows what you want to say."

"Indeed, Xu Zishuang has a first-class appearance and extremely high martial arts, and it is not unthinkable that she will surpass her father in the future and become a master at the real body level."

"But so what?"

"The Zhu family has experienced ups and downs, and the family has also given birth to masters at the peak of martial arts, but they have never used this to expand, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because of the prosperity and decline, the Zhu family has been doing sacrifices and rituals from generation to generation, and has never had fatal conflicts with others."

"No matter which dynasty or generation, they need someone to host the national festival, and the Zhu family will be able to be glorious from generation to generation, even if there is no wealth."

"That's enough."

"It is the best place to make the Bodhisattva of clay sculpture and wood carving, enjoying the worship of people from all over the world."

Zhu Xingxiu is very satisfied with the current situation of the family.

Not only can it be close to the first-class family, but it will not make a big splash, except for some fields, real estate, and shops, there are no industries that cause trouble.

The Zhu family is backed by the Supreme Academy of Excellence, and they also have a way to obtain the top resources, preside over the country's festivals, and let them be on the road of martial arts, and they will not provoke people to be afraid and robbed.

"Prime Minister Wang Ji is famous, I don't know how much better than his father, he insists on going further."

"Now the Wang family is abandoning the industry in Shangjing and returning to Jiangzhou."

"The Duke of Xu has a heavy army, and Xu Shi'an, even if he is Taoguang and obscure, is a bane."

"Because he is the reincarnation of a celestial?" Zhu Qinghou hurriedly asked, Zhu Xingxiu was noncommittal, but mentioned another topic.

"The eldest princess inherited the throne, and the power of the royal family was partially weakened."

"In order to ensure the balance of the court, the Shenwei Army and the Shenwu Army will inevitably engage in a new struggle."

"As long as Her Majesty still has a little political sense, she will not tolerate the real peaceful coexistence of the two families, which will be a nightmare for the imperial court."

"As for Xu Shi'an, my father only now understands that His Majesty's willingness to condone him back then was to peep into his flesh."

"We have to wait until he activates the blood of the celestial beings before taking action."

Zhu Xingxiu is worthy of being an old fox in the sea for many years, and he is very vicious when he looks at people, and he has a clear view of the situation in the imperial court.

"These struggles are too dangerous."

"If my father wins this time, I don't want anything, because I'm afraid that the family will seek excessive benefits."

"If the surplus is full, the loss will be lost, and what the Zhu family needs most is to ensure a stable inheritance, not to make people blush."

Zhu Qinghou was speechless, and he couldn't find a reason to refute his old father's analysis.

Do you want to give up pursuing Xu Zishuang?

When he thought of this, he felt a dull pain in his chest.

Especially thinking of Chu Qianqiu's appearance, his eyebrows and ancestors hurt.

"Master Meng helped you ask for the [Life Creation Pill] from the True Martial Sect, one is for you to heal, and the other is for you to make a bride price."

"Let you recognize reality."

"What do you mean, teacher?" Zhu Qinghou's heart was cold.

"If you take out an elixir of this level and can't attract her, then you should take care of it as soon as possible, and don't do that wrong."

Zhu Xingxiu's merciless speech made Zhu Qinghou a little depressed.

As a saint of the Supreme Academy of Perfection, he is considered a powerful person who can walk sideways in Kyoto, but he is stunned that he does not have the slightest arrogance, mainly because his father is stronger than him, and he is suppressed to death.

He broke through the martial arts at the age of thirty-two, but his father did it at the age of thirty, and he had nothing to be proud of in front of his father.

The red quality elixir is already a magic medicine close to the elixir, not to mention the Zhu family, and there is definitely no one in the Xu Guogong family.

Only super-first-class forces could make and obtain such treasures.

Its weight is the same as that of Qilin blood, and in a sense it is even rarer.

If a golden-quality elixir can only produce three or five of this level in a year for a first-class force, then to make a red-quality elixir, it is necessary to produce one in a year or even a few years.

Even inside the True Martial Sect, the number of this elixir would not be large.

If it weren't for the good relationship between the True Martial Sect and the Supreme Martial Academy, and Meng Fuzi was a figure won over by the True Martial Sect, he wouldn't have been able to get this [Life Creation Pill].

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

The relationship between Yulu Academy and Maha Temple is good, and the same is true for Zhishan Academy, and its relationship with Zhenwumen is also quite harmonious.

Even if the True Martial Sect has an elixir blockade order, it will also send some congratulatory gifts for the sake of old friends.

So this is the highest bride price that Zhu Qinghou can get.

[If Xu Shi'an was also injured, how good it would be. 】

[When the time comes, I will save people, won't it be a beauty to give me a hug. 】

[Eh, it would be nice if Chu Qianqiu gave him a hard blow. 】

Of course, Zhu Qinghou is not a fool, he can break through the martial arts master at the age of thirty-two, there is no doubt that he is a genius, and there must be no problem at the IQ level, and a figure like Prime Minister Wang Ji is almost close to forty years old before he successfully broke through the martial arts.

Just as he was thinking, the doorman hurriedly ran in.

"Young Master, Miss Xu is here."

"Hurry up, please."

"No, I'll go out to greet you personally."

Could it be that my sister misses me?

Zhu Qinghou immediately flew over, and Zhu Xingxiu looked at his son's appearance, and he almost wanted to look up to the sky and roar.

"The old man also took him to Goulan to listen to music back then, and the concubines were married to seven or eight, how could they be so unqualified."

"That's it, that's it, the old man went over to help this stupid son."

At the gate of the Zhu family, Zhu Qinghou was very enthusiastic and ran all the way over, but unfortunately Xu Zishuang, who greeted him, refused to greet him with a smile, but said a word directly, which made him feel petrified.

"Senior Brother Zhu, I am here on behalf of my family's lord, General Zhongwu."

"My lord wants to exchange Senior Brother Zhu for a [Life Creation Pill]."

"I don't know what Senior Brother Zhu asks for, whether he is willing to exchange."

"Senior sister, when did you become Chu Qianqiu's retainer, this is impossible!" Zhu Qinghou shouted in shock.

"Senior Brother Zhu, my lord is a loyal general, a member of the third rank of the imperial court, how can he be called by his name?"

Xu Zishuang appropriately showed a look of displeasure, like a standard etiquette machine, indicating that she was only here to talk about official business, regardless of personal friendship, not to mention that the two had no personal friendship at all.

"Senior sister, that [Life Creation Pill] was prepared for you by me."

"How could it be sold." Zhu Qinghou was a little flustered, and accidentally said what was in his heart, which made Xu Zishuang frown, and everyone took two steps back, and moved away with some disgust.

Zhu Qinghou on weekdays, although he is also a little entangled, is not so stupid.

In public, such a performance is really a bit stupid.

The main reason is that he has just been taught a lesson by his father, and he can't hold back a little, so he made a mistake, and he should be unlucky.

"Then Senior Brother Zhu just won't sell it, will he?" Xu Zishuang nodded and was about to leave, but she didn't expect a hearty laugh.

"Niece Xu, slow down, this elixir is given by the dog's mentor, don't dare to sell it."

"Uncle Zhu!" When Xu Zishuang heard the laughter, she hurriedly stood in awe and saluted.

"Nieces don't have to be polite." Zhu Xingxiu walked out with a smile on his face, his demeanor was heartbreaking, even if he was middle-aged, he was also a first-class figure in Confucianism.

"My niece is so blessed, she can work under Chu Zhongwu, and her future is limitless."

"Since Chu Zhongwu wants it, then the old man will take it upon himself and give it to him."

"Daddy!" Zhu Qinghou couldn't help but shout, was glared at by Zhu Xingxiu, and honestly closed his mouth.

"With such a heavy treasure, how can you be worthy of being sent by your uncle?" Even Xu Zishuang was stunned and didn't dare to take it.

"The ancients had a cloud: it is better to get a hundred catties of gold than to get Ji Bu Yinuo."

"Chu Zhongwu's name is worth this friendship." Zhu Xingxiu laughed loudly, then took out a box and directly handed over this priceless elixir.
