Zhong Yan discovered that checking loyalty can be addictive.
He wanted to see every one he saw.
Some even check it repeatedly to see if certain key actions have an impact, thus causing fluctuations.
In fact, he also found some problems.
There are less than 700 [affiliated] people on the panel, and a few familiar maids and warriors who I casually checked are among them.
But now there are more than 600 maids and more than 300 warrior guards in the mansion, most of whom he has never seen before.
He believed that the maids were definitely more loyal to Jiang Ping, Dong Cao and others than he was.
As for the warriors, the ones they recognized in their hearts must be Yan Sandao, Zhou Yunning, and Zhong Muxi.
for example.
He randomly stopped a little maid he didn't know, asked a few caring questions, praised and encouraged her, and the other girl's loyalty immediately jumped from 61 to 75.
Obviously, the maids were carefully selected into the mansion and underwent strict training, so they were naturally loyal to the Zhong Mansion.
But when it comes to individuals, they will definitely tend to have more contact with individuals who have given care or benefits, such as the mistress Jiang Ping, rather than him, the head of the family who is always seen but never seen.
"It seems like you have to show your face more and engage in pyramid schemes..."
Zhong Yan murmured to himself, anticipating the reward for reaching the number of people.
Yu Qingyao and Jiang Ping who were following him were very surprised, wondering why their husband suddenly cared so much about a little maid.
He thought that he wanted to include her in the harem, but when he saw that the little maid looked average, he asked about her.
Zhong Yan stopped, looked at the two people and criticized with a smile: "You can't do that. I, the head of the family, have no sense of existence. When you lecture to your servants, you should mention me more, teach by words and deeds, and establish prestige among them. Build a tall, majestic and glorious image of me in your heart.”
The two looked at each other, and Yu Qingyao said amusedly: "Do you care about this? Do you also have vanity?"
Zhong Yan said seriously: "This matter is very important."
Yu Qingyao's eyelashes trembled, and she nodded: "Yes, this matter is indeed necessary, but we were negligent."
Jiang Ping leaned forward and said: "Don't worry, husband, I will take care of my concubine later, teach them well!"
"Brother!"
Meng Zhilei, dressed in a yellow dress, walked over quickly and greeted with a smile: "Sister Qingyao, Mrs. Ping!"
Yu Qingyao: "Sister Zhilei is back!"
Meng Zhilei said: "I just arrived in the afternoon and went to Bai Yu's place to report on my work."
Zhong Yan looked at her, couldn't help but check that the loyalty was 83, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, the foundation is almost established."
Meng Zhilei couldn't help but be happy: "Yes, this time I was transferred back to Qingyangfang City to prepare for the foundation construction, thanks to the care of my senior brother and all the ladies!"
Jiang Ping blinked and glanced back and forth on their faces.
Zhong Yan: "Are Shuang'er used to being on the island? How about entering the country?"
"Very good. Last month, I was notified that the third level of foundation building was completed. I secretly built the foundation in private without using the foundation building pill. I was shocked. Fortunately, it was successful..."
Meng Zhilei's eyes were full of pride. After explaining in detail, she looked at Yu Qingyao and Jiang Ping with hesitation on her face.
Yu Qingyao immediately understood and said with a smile: "You brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to talk about. Let's talk slowly."
The three of them saluted each other, and Yu and Jiang left hand in hand.
Zhong Yan and Meng Zhilei walked along the corridor to the pavilion. The latter smiled apologetically and said, "Senior Brother Zhong, if the foundation building is successful, I want to go to Liusha Island to work."
Zhong Yan said: "It's self-defeating. Well, let's let Shuang'er come back."
Meng Zhilei said hurriedly: "No, senior brother, that's not what I meant. Shuang'er is very adaptable. She is used to staying on the island. She is given so many resources and the cultivation environment is no worse than at home. It's just that I miss her."
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you. Liusha Island isn't too far away. I'll ask Bai Yu to assign you a job with more freedom, so you can come back often."
Meng Zhilei bowed and held her hands in hand: "Thank you, senior brother!"
Zhong Yan gave him a hand: "How can you and I be so polite? If I'm not around, I can go directly to Qing Yao if I need anything in the future."
Meng Zhilei smiled and nodded, but it was just a touch of her wrist that separated her, but it made her heart beat slightly faster.
Zhong Yan was about to speak when Zhong Xiaozhong appeared in the arched doorway.
"Senior brother is busy in advance."
"Okay, let's talk later."
Meng Zhilei looked at the back and walked away, sighed in her heart, turned around and left.
the other side.
Yu Qingyao and Jiang Ping walked away, chatting quietly.
Jiang: "Sister Zhilei is still interested in her husband."
Yu: "I can see it. I heard from Yun Mei that in her early years in the sect, Sister Zhilei has been pursuing her husband..."
Jiang: "Then, should she be included in the wedding banquet?"
Yu: "I'll talk to her later."
Jiang: "Well, there is also Song Lingyue. My husband must have had this intention when he brought him back. I heard that she is from the same family as you?"
Yu: "Yes, but she doesn't recognize me. I have only seen her from a few times when I was in the sect. I have some impressions. I went to see her last night. She is more beautiful than when she was a child. She exudes a mature and charming atmosphere. I can see I want to grab two handfuls of round ones!"
Jiang: "Keke~ Then take her into your husband's harem and catch her for you during class!"
Yu: "Since we are going to have a banquet, we should marry a few more. Those female disciples of the Five Elements Sect have surrendered. They are all true spiritual roots. They have a high chance of giving birth to spiritually rooted heirs. Pick two young and well-behaved ones."
Jiang: "Well, by the way, sister, when will you have a child?"
Yu: "I asked my husband and said that we should wait and go to the Golden Core Realm together to ask for it. At present, the clan needs manpower for all aspects of affairs. Many sisters are not suitable for having children, so I still have to help my husband marry more women. .”
Jiang: "Well, what we lack is time. When the children grow up, the husband's burden will be lighter. Now it is the husband who has to take on the task of spreading the branches and leaves."
Yu: "He wishes he could have more beautiful girls!"
Jiang: "Keke~ My husband is too strong. The eight of us can't defeat him!"
Yu: "Hmph, if I call a few more people next time, I will definitely turn him into a soft-footed shrimp when I go to the underground palace!"
Jiang: "It seems that your husband hasn't gone to the underground palace yet, right?"
Yu: "No, I just perfected the formation not long ago."
Jiang: "The husband will definitely have fun when he sees it!"
…
Second courtyard, side hall study.
Zhong Yan flipped through a lot of information on the table, all about children, everyone above ten years old.
Study, practice, conduct, character, handling of affairs... are very detailed, with many examples to prove it.
for example:
Zhong Qixing, a humble and gentle man, annotated scriptures and essays, taught and gave lectures, rarely left home, and usually lived between his school and his residence.
Zhong Qifeng, arrogant and arrogant, has a romantic nature, is idle and does not take care of business. He spends his days hanging out in brothels and drinking with his buddies.
Zhong Qizhan is brave and fierce, Zhong Qichen is diligent and hardworking...
Seeing Zhong Yan sigh and sigh, it is true that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom is different.
When Zhong Xiaozhong saw that he had finished flipping through the pages, he bowed and said, "Sir, I met a few young masters who were out of town, so the collection is a bit simple."
Zhong Yan nodded: "Lao Ba and Lao Nin called, as well as Xia He and Qi Yu."
Zhong Xiaozhong walked to the door and waved to the guard.
Zhong Yan got up and left the study, walked to the hall, and asked, "How is it over there in Wei State?"
Zhong Xiaozhong: "The war has been suspended for half a year, and several small battles have broken out on the border between Chen State and You Ye State..."
"Qin Ben has millions of troops and dominates Jizhou. The situation is stable and basically out of the control of the Eighth Prince. He only has to raise the flag to rebel..."
"According to Mr. Wen's speculation, at least the immortal cultivating forces from all directions are secretly supporting Qin Ben's army. In addition to us, it is certain that the Ye family of Fenglin and the Lin family of Changyi..."
Zhong Yan was surprised: "Fenglin Ye family?"
The Changyi Lin family was not surprised. Qin Ben's original fiefdom was in Changyi City, but the Lin family's strength was average, similar to that of the Heishui Peng family.
Zhong Xiaozhong: "Yes, I support it openly. I have supported war horses and grain and grass twice. Mr. Wen was also present. The leader of the escort is named Ye Chen. I checked and he is a direct descendant of the Ye family in Maple Forest. However, there was no trace of the Ye family in the early years." , when Qin Ben became more powerful, he was favored and received support..."
After a pause, Zhong Xiaozhong looked at his master's face and said, "Sir, Minglan City is controlled by King Qi's subordinates. If a civil war breaks out, Qingyang will probably bear the brunt."
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter. Not counting Shunyi and Heishui, Qingyang can also gather 200,000 troops. Minglan, a small city, can't defeat us in a short time. As time goes by, he has too much time to take care of himself. As for the cultivation forces, for a while, We won’t be able to defeat Qingyang for half a day, not to mention we are not weak, we have the support of Jindan combat power!”
Not surprisingly, Shang Zhuoqing was also able to successfully form the elixir, plus Su Yue, Zhou Yun, and Wei Siyu, at least four of them, as well as the Ding family and the Peng family for support.
However, Qingyang is located in a remote place in the northwest and has no resource gathering place. It will not be able to attract strong forces in the early stages of the war.
"Twenty years. If we survive for twenty years, it's time for us to attack the city!"
