Zhuge was angry, walked back to the house and got a pot of wine, shook it twice and said, "Just drink less, it's okay." ”

The head of the Wang family laughed and scolded that he was a wine worm at such a young age, and when he was in his prime, he must not be an old man who was not happy with alcohol.

Zhuge Chen sat down next to the head of the Wang family, and did not refute, but said softly: "It's just a rare place, I was in the prime of life at that time, where can I be worthy of the title of old man?"

Indeed, as long as the realm of a cultivator is high enough, it is normal for him to live for a thousand years. If the luck is excellent, and you continue to break through the realm, you will be able not to wander inside and outside the ghost gate. Generally speaking, if the realm reaches the ultimate path, you can have thousands of years of life. But after all, the cultivators who can reach this realm are all scarred, and they will definitely bury hidden dangers when they are older. So it is thousands of years, maybe more than five and three, but it is also very much.

And for saints, it is normal to live for tens of thousands of years, not to mention that as long as saints do not seek death, there is no one in heaven and heaven who can kill them. In addition, because there are very few wild saints, there are backers behind each one. Among the three sects, there is that human immortal, who dares to make a mistake?

How cruel the emperor of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty was, the flames of war continued to burn every day in the territory of the Divine Dynasty, but when he met the saint, he was still honest like a child.

The reason why saints live for so long is mainly because when they step into this realm, their own bodies are reborn. The scars of the past will not only be smoothed out by the Heavenly Dao that is now equal to oneself, but will also let the ethereal order of the Heavenly Dao flow in the veins of the cultivator. Although the body of a saint is far less subtle than that of a god king, it is already difficult to imagine that he can be compared to a mere mortal god king.

The head of the Wang family snorted coldly, of course, not angry. It's a pity that he thinks that Zhuge Chen is so good at sophistry, and it is not as good as Confucianism to participate in the three teachings.

Although this world is not as good as half of the heavens in the overall realm, there is still a clear distinction like the three religions. For example, the four major academies are actually the epitome of it.

The Kuhai Academy where Zhuge Chen and Wang Daxue are located belongs to Confucianism. Another Tianchi Academy in the Imperial City of the Great Shang Dynasty belonged to Taoism, and the Wanjian Academy in the capital city of Dayan did not belong to the three sects, but was more like a chivalrous man from the grassy rivers and lakes. As for the last Fuxiang Academy, because Emperor Yunmeng believed in Buddhism, he had to be involved with Buddhism.

But the four academies are not just one of the three religions, but all-encompassing, but they are closer.

When the head of the Wang family was still young, he had the privilege of personally participating in a discussion of the three religions. It's just sitting in the banquet and listening to those people in the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism arguing with reason.

He sat in on the audit for three days and three nights, but unfortunately there was still no result. In the end, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to rub his bulging eyebrows and take the carriage back home. Later, he also inquired, and it was said that the three sides fought into a draw, and there was no win or loss. And it seems that such things are still common, and there is nothing strange about those who know the inside story.

Since then, there have been more arguments like this, and he will not go on. Nothing interesting, points

If you don't win, you lose time. What is strange is that in addition to being on the battlefield, the victory and defeat of the head of the Wang family can even be ignored. Only in this matter, he was very decisive.

"It's a fallacy. The head of the Wang family spoke.

Zhuge Chen smiled and put a sip of wine into his mouth.

In the past few days, the ice and snow in the capital have almost melted. And the ugly snowman that Zhuge Chen and Wang Daxue piled up in the courtyard of this palace also looked even uglier because of the similarity, like the little ghost in the nocturnal diagram of a hundred ghosts.

Zhuge Chen didn't think so, and still liked to go out of the house to have a look. As for Wang Daxue, he didn't make much effort when he was building a snowman, so of course he wouldn't take it to heart.

When he was young, in the Zhuge family in the Brahma realm, whenever it snowed, Zhuge Chen's favorite thing to do was to invite his friends at that time to pinch out a snowball and roll it up little by little. Two snowballs, one large and one small, are stacked together to make a snowman. And if you don't want it to melt, it's very simple, let the elders of the Zhuge family use a little trick, and the snowman will stand there all year round.

Generally speaking, such a thing will fall on Zhuge Chen. He is the young master, and those elders who love him a lot will not only not refuse, but will walk out of their clean house with a smile.

If you go with someone else, not only will you not be able to invite these elders, but you will also suffer a scolding if you don't leave ten.

The young Zhuge Chen naturally didn't know so much, but as he grew older, when he wanted to build a snowman again, no one would accompany him to mess around. They would only say a young master respectfully when Zhuge Chen passed by, even if Zhuge Chen didn't want the relationship between them to be like this, and deliberately said a joke. Those playmates did not dare to laugh, and all that remained in the silence was respect.

Zhuge Chen felt that this was very boring, and he did not always stay in the family from then on. Instead, he walked the rivers and lakes and found his own unique pleasure in conversations with strangers.

The head of the Wang family noticed Zhuge Chen's gaze and said, "Why don't you let me make a move and let it return to its original state?" After all, now that you have no realm, it is difficult for you to achieve what you want." ”

Zhuge Chen shook his head and replied: "No need, everything has its own laws of birth and death. What's more, it's just a snowman, not even a living thing. ”

He yawned, but didn't feel sleepy. Tonight, the moon stars are scarce, but when a black cloud drifts in, no matter how bright the moonlight is, it can't penetrate the clouds.

It seemed that he felt that there was no moonlight and he couldn't see his five fingers, and the head of the Wang family pulled out the knife in an instant and then put it into the sheath, and the black clouds above his head immediately dispersed. The moonlight re-spread on the faces of the two, and shone on the smile on the corner of Zhuge Chen's mouth.

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "Don't talk about me, the head of the family, or talk about what is it that bothers you to come out to drink bars?"

"What else could it be?" The head of the Wang family stretched out a finger and flicked it on the wine jug in his hand, making a crisp sound, listening quietly, like a temple bell ringing at night. Immerse yourself

If you go, it is like your heart is rippling, and you have returned to the comfortable and peaceful years that only existed in ancient books: "Those bastards in the military department have obviously never been to the battlefield on the border in person, or it is just a routine business, go and visit." Not only is he far from understanding the situation, but he also wants to influence the situation by relying on his own subjective assumptions. But in the same battlefield, I regard each of their warriors as my own brothers, like brothers. How can I put their lives in the hands of irrelevant people?"

Zhuge Chen nodded lightly.

This is true of many things, and the person who decides on it is not necessarily proficient in it. Only knows how to make random decisions, even if you can win by luck with this unreasonable hand, there is no guarantee that you will be able to succeed in the next 10 million times. Leaving fate to luck is really the stupidest choice.

Zhuge Chen had also met such a person, or when he was still the Zhuge God King. The sons and daughters of a family like him are all close ministers around them. He treats his close ministers very well, and many things come to mind not of himself, but of them.

Many of the ministers who belong to them will not be misplaced because of this. But everything is not absolute, and there will always be stupid people.

There is a close minister who relies on his outstanding talent, and sometimes even Zhuge Chen looks down on him in his heart. Knowing that after Zhuge Chen returned from walking the rivers and lakes once, this person blindly provoked a child of another family in the Brahma realm. Zhuge Chen didn't want to have a conflict, and the other party's children were not worth his shot. But after being admonished, the minister still insisted on doing it, and finally ended up with a dead end.

From beginning to end, Zhuge Chen was watching from the sidelines. All he did was to bring the man's body back to the Zhuge family, and then sat in the lobby of the house and said expressionlessly: "Since the other party doesn't give me the face of the Zhuge family, then I have to let go to the autumn queen to settle accounts." My close retainers deserve to die, but it's not something their family can decide. A few of you tell the head of the family, I will go in person, and there is no need for the family to send other cultivators. ”

Hearing his words, the retainers were shocked. After all, Zhuge Chen has not participated in the affairs of the Zhuge family for a long time, and today's anger comes more from his brainless retainers.

On that day, the Zhuge God King walked out with a sword, and one person entered the other party's family. The rubber pillar sword rose and slaughtered the opponent completely.

Although he is a cultivator who is destined to be high, Zhuge Chen does not like this feeling. Killing people is like slaughtering a dog, it is easy to say, but it is not simple. He hoped that there would be a world where the relationship between cultivators and mortals would be very simple, and that they would be at peace with each other. Go to a certain city, walk into a restaurant, and talk to anyone.

His thoughts didn't drift too far, Zhuge Chen came back to his senses, and listened to the head of the Wang family continue: "But this matter can't be decided by me alone, Your Majesty trusts me again, and there is still the military department in front." After all, it is one of the six departments, and since there is a war with the big merchants, there is no way to get around. They hope that our Wang family will not only know how to blindly guard the border, but take the initiative to attack. How ridiculous?

Ge boy, you have been to Dashang from the Wang family, and you know very well what is between the two countries. ”

Although the two countries share a border, they have a dense forest that acts as a natural barrier. If it weren't for this, it would have been difficult for Dayan to take this as the foundation in the first few decades, and recuperate in the damage to the strong national power it is today.

But since it is advantageous, it will have disadvantages, which is a very simple and easy to understand truth. In any case, today's Dayan is not as good as Dashang in terms of national strength after all, although Dayan is known as a million heroes, but in addition to those miscellaneous and stationed in various places, half of them are already considerable.

But the big merchants are completely different, except for these, there are still nearly one million. This is the gap, although there are ten thousand enemies on the battlefield of the head of the Wang family, but they can't stop the other party's million-strong army. If you attack rashly, the vast forest is the burial ground of the Dayan army.

As long as the big chamber of commerce sets up an ambush in it, and when the time comes, the head of the Wang family can be counted as one. But he is a person after all, how much impact can he have on the overall situation?

This is a sad fact, otherwise, the head of the Wang family would not be so pessimistic.

If Dayan wants to win in this tug-of-war, the only thing he can rely on is time. It's a pity that the military department doesn't understand this, and fantasizes about being able to compete head-on with big merchants.

"Maybe it's because I'm too careful that these Beijing officials feel how easy it is to guard the border, that is, they will only do better than me, and they will definitely not be worse. If it weren't for me being the head of the Wang family, I would be a cultivator of the realm of the Dao realm. Your Majesty's table in the temple of the god of cultivation is probably a mere impeachment of me. The head of the Wang family said softly, but his words were full of melancholy: "If you want to make a statement, you must bear its weight, and you can't make sense." If it were them, they wouldn't be able to hold out in just one year. ”

The head of the Wang family also seemed to notice the mistake of his wording, shook his head and laughed: "One year is actually not short." ”

"If there is a day when I unload my armor and return to the field, I will have to be bloody and scolded by those bastards in the military department to relieve my anger. Otherwise, when I leave, no one will have the courage to stand up and stop them, and I will not necessarily have to ruin much good things. The head of the Wang family said softly, he took a sip of wine, but did not swallow it directly into his stomach. This is what Zhuge Chen, who is also a wine worm, seems to be something that should not be done. It seems that the head of the Wang family is really happy after saying this, even if he leaves his current position, Wang Daxue still comes up. And by that time, today's military officials are already old, even if he scolds, no matter how ugly the scolding is, those people will not have the strength to reply.

Zhuge Chen looked at the head of the Wang family at this time, but he looked like a child, but he still didn't forget to pour cold water: "The head of the family has forgotten that with your current realm, you can only stay in this world for at most one Jiazi." The head of the family doesn't want to learn from the academy and build a winning array in the Wang family's ancestral mansion, right?"

"Then forget it, it's not interesting to forcibly stay in this world. The head of the Wang family said softly.

Just when the two were talking happily, they unexpectedly broke into two "uninvited guests". The housekeeper was helpless

looked at the two of them, sighed and said, "Family master, it's not that I don't stop it, but this one is really not something I dare to stop." ”

The head of the Wang family and Zhuge Chen turned their heads to look together, only to find that the two people under the moon would actually be the head of the Xu family in Jiyue, and the young man who had been defeated by Zhuge Chen. It's just that the difference is that the two teenagers at the beginning have grown up and become young people.

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically: "Who am I supposed to be here, it turns out that I am a defeated general!"

The young man's face was displeased, but since it was the truth, he didn't have much to say. frowned and clenched his fists, as if he was about to completely explode in the next moment and kill in front of Zhuge Chen.

The head of the Xu family stood in front of the young man, once to avoid a real fight between the two sides. He didn't come this time to provoke, but for the benefit of Dayan. Underneath that, self is above all else.

He spoke, "I've heard about the plans of those bastards in the military department, otherwise, you know I wouldn't be here." ”

The head of the Wang family nodded, indeed, the Wang family and the Xu family, as the two most powerful families in Dayan, have always been at odds with each other. And before the head of the Wang family reached the realm of the True Dao, he was even more divided. It's just that the situation has changed now, because of the incident that had something to do with the big business, and the emperor also became wary of the Xu family. Everyone in Jiyue City is in danger, for fear that the royal family will cross the river and tear down the bridge. When the shadow came, Xu had no power to parry.

The head of the Wang family opened his mouth and said politely: "I'm tired that the head of the Xu family has made this trip, the courtyard is simple, and there is nothing to entertain." But let's go inside and sit down, it's cold outside. ”

The head of the Xu family nodded and walked into the house with the head of the Wang family. As for the young man, he took a deep look at Zhuge Chen when he passed by. Looking at the other party's unbeaten appearance, Zhuge Chen had already made up his mind in his heart. When one's realm is lost and returned, one must carve another imprint on the state of mind of young people.

How can the scar forget the pain?

It seems that in the final analysis, it was too light last time.

Zhuge Chen put his hands behind his head, yawned, and walked towards his room. Looking up at the moon, I guess it's time now. Even in normal times, he has already begun to close his eyes and recuperate at this time. What's more, now he is still dragging his sick body.

But when he was lying on the bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He simply got up, went to the kitchen in the courtyard, picked up the flask, and drank it to himself.

After a while, the head of the Wang family walked in, leaned against the window next to him, and sighed softly.

Zhuge Chen subconsciously asked, "Are you done talking to the Xu family?"

The head of the Wang family nodded, and then said, "He said that the Xu family wants to join forces with the Wang family to jointly stop the advancement of the Great Shang. If it were me, I would have done the same. Of course, there is also a selfish motive in this, that is, to regain His Majesty's trust. I didn't care, so I agreed. It's okay for both sides to make money, so why do you have to let one side lose money. ”

Zhuge Chen admired and said: "The head of the family is really high-spirited. ”

The head of the Wang family laughed and said, "Da Xue's mouth is half as good as you can say, so I can rest assured." It's hard not to worry about his stuffy gourd!"

Zhuge Chen sighed lightly and said: "Daxue is already very eloquent, but there is too much nonsense. The head of the house can punch him in the head next time when he can't control his mouth, to ensure that he can eat a trench and grow wise. ”

The head of the Wang family joked: "You kid, you are uneasy and kind!"

Zhuge Chen chuckled and said, "They are all brothers, it's normal to disgust each other." ”

It was just a pot of wine, and the two of them drank it quickly. Zhuge Chen coughed a few times, and with the help of wine, he shook back and lay down and fell asleep.
