The Shangguan family has never provoked Chen Yuan, and the relationship is actually pretty good because of Shangguan Yu, but the only person Chen Yuan is close to is Shangguan Yu.
If it was because of one word or one person, it probably wouldn't change Chen Yuan's attitude.
Shangguan Yu must say this.
The five major aristocratic families are superior, but it depends on who they are targeting. For ordinary warriors, marrying the legitimate daughter of the five major aristocratic families must be a high ranking, but in terms of Chen Yuan's current status and strength, it is the Shangguan family who is pursuing the superiors.
The strength of the five major aristocratic families is actually not that strong. Except for the ancestor of the Yangshen in the Gu family, the other four major aristocratic families do not have a single Yangshen.
Although the name is quite resounding, the actual strength is not quite so.
If you want to seize a potential stock like Chen Yuan, you must invest before it has grown up. It is a timely help that can be remembered for a lifetime.
Now it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and Chen Yuan doesn't necessarily want it.
Shangguan Tiehong was silent for a long time, then whispered:
"You can arrange this yourself."
After saying that, he left the room with several elders of the Shangguan clan.
After they left, Shangguanhong's eyes moved and he whispered:
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Yu looked down at the bustling crowd below and said calmly:
"The Shangguan clan is used to being aloof and won't stoop down to look at others. Brother Chen may seem approachable, but in fact he is arrogant. If my father had the same attitude as before, it would be impossible to negotiate. We must suppress their arrogance.
Let them know that the Shangguan clan is nothing in front of the current Marquis Wu'an. It is best if they can have a good relationship. If not, they should not be resentful. "
"Brother did the right thing."
Shangguan Hong's character is somewhat similar to that of Guan Yu, because he was actually a little dissatisfied with the family in the past few incidents, but they were not in power yet and could not make the decision at all.
Furthermore, this is indeed the way for a family to survive. It is impossible to take risks because of one person.
But if you want high returns afterwards, that's impossible.
"Don't worry, little sister, even if you give up your old face, Brother Chen will still accept you." Shangguan Yu saw his sister's thoughts and said teasingly.
"Don't say that. If Chen Yuan really doesn't like me, it's good to be a friend." Shangguan Hong forced a smile on his face, feeling not in a good mood.
"Don't be discouraged. You are also the legitimate daughter of the Shangguan family. You have a clean family background. Although you are not a beautiful woman, you are still very beautiful. Even though I said that in front of my father before.
But in fact, the Shangguan family still has some power in the south, especially in Shuzhou. Brother Chen took over Shuzhou and became the governor of the three southern states. It seems like a high-rise building, but in fact, the foundation is not stable now. He will not accept the goodwill of the Shangguan family. Rejected. "
Shangguan Yu smiled.
"Um."
"Also, Zhang Xuan sent me a letter a few days ago before he was transferred from Nanling Mansion, saying that Chen Yuan has now become half of his brother-in-law. His words were quite boastful. How can I bear it? Brother Chen must His brother-in-law, then I will be my uncle, and I am higher than him anyway." Shangguan Yu snorted lightly.
"Oh, brother, what are you doing?"
Shangguanhong was a little embarrassed.
"Back in the Cangbing Valley, I mentioned that Brother Chen should marry you, but he was concerned about the influence of the Shangguan family. If you marry, you will be restricted. There is no need to get too close to the Shangguan family.
But it's different now. His power is higher than that of the Shangguan clan. He doesn't need to worry about the Shangguan family's influence, and he still needs the Shangguan family's help. Just leave this to me, don't worry. "
Shangguan Yu saw it very clearly. He had grown a lot since the battle to ascend to immortality, and Shangguan Tiehong had begun to pave the way for him to become the clan leader in the future.
Mentality will inevitably change.
"I know."
Shangguan Hong nodded.
"Go back and rest first. When Brother Chen is finished today, I will take you to see him."
"Um."
The banquet held by the three giants of Shuzhou was naturally quite large, but almost all the prominent people in Shuzhou official circles would come to greet Chen Yuan, a third-rank official.
This time, Chen Yuan also officially announced that he would take over Shuzhou.
At the banquet, Chen Yuan did not put on any airs while changing glasses. He had a good chat with Shuzhou Mu and General Pingnan. They were not acquaintances, but they were acquaintances.
But this is just an appearance. If they are obedient, everything will be fine. If they are disobedient, Chen Yuan will gradually find ways to control them or replace them for future safety.
If it doesn't work in a short time, it will arouse Jingtai's suspicion.
But he still has a year to slowly lay out the plan, so there is no need to panic too much.
The banquet lasted until the evening. Lu Renyi was very sensible and took the initiative to give up the house in the Tianxuan Division and ordered people to clean it for Chen Yuan to rest.
As for himself, he bought another house near Xuntiansi.
Chen Yuan was the governor of the three states, the core of which was Shu state. Naturally, he did not dare to cross the border. The force that dared to kill the Shu state's golden envoy must be very powerful. He also knew that he did not have the strength to deal with it.
The one who really relies on it is Chen Yuan.
That night, after seeing off all the guests, Chen Yuan brought Lu Renyi to Xantian Hall. The atmosphere was suddenly different from before. Chen Yuan looked calm and said softly:
"It has been almost half a month since you arrived in Shuzhou. Is there any trace of Lu Renjia's murderer?"
While in the capital, when Chen Yuan was sent to the south to take charge, Lu Renyi was named the Golden Envoy of Shuzhou. They met once and were led by Wu Tianxi.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan ordered him to rush to Shuzhou quickly without any delay. It was best to find out some reasons for killing Lu Renjia.
But he takes his time and takes office only after all matters have been resolved.
Lu Renjia was Lu Renyi's elder brother, and they had a very close relationship. Naturally, they would not delay regarding the cause of his death, and rushed to Shuzhou City without stopping.
Facing Chen Yuan's inquiry, he immediately said without thinking:
"Back to my lord, my subordinates have only made some progress. After investigation, it was discovered that when Lu Renjia was attacked that day."
He quickly told Chen Yuan everything he had investigated, similar to what Jiang He said, but more detailed.
"In other words, the murderer is indeed involved with Wu Sheng Cult?"
"This is indeed the case so far. Before taking action on that day, my brother happened to find a piece of information about the traces of the Wusheng Cult. Before he could take action, he..."
"Then you should follow this line to investigate first. Don't be afraid of causing trouble. No matter how big the problem is, I can help you take care of it." Chen Yuan expressed his stance very seriously.
He thought it was not Wu Shengjia's hand, but there was no need to tell Lu Renyi. Again, Lu Renjia's death was not important, nor was regaining the territory of Blood State.
What really matters is that he collects resources and expands his power.
If Lu Renyi wanted to investigate, he would just go ahead and investigate. He wouldn't care too much about the rest, as long as he faced the issue of dealing with the situation in the capital.
He is not a detective, and he does not have the power to look back in time. There is no need to trace the source.
"Thank you, sir."
Lu Renyi was touched by Chen Yuan's attitude and immediately knelt down on one knee.
I think Chen Yuan, the boss, is indeed good from the current point of view.
"This matter is entirely left to you. I have more important things to do. Tomorrow, in my name, you will call the Nanzhou Golden Envoy to Shuzhou, plus the two young envoys from the Blood State. If If they don’t come, they will have to bear the consequences.”
The issue of the Yuanjing mineral vein in Blood State was of great importance, and the Nanzhou Golden Envoy was also very powerful. He wanted to win them under his command in the shortest possible time. He did not ask them to perform meritorious deeds, as long as they obeyed his orders honestly.
"Don't worry, sir. I will take care of my humble duty immediately."
"Go, it's getting late, rest early."
Chen Yuan waved his hand.
"I resign from my humble position."
Lu Renyi bowed slightly and quickly left the Xantian Hall.
Watching this person leave, Chen Yuan's spiritual thoughts moved and enveloped the entire Xuantian Hall. He took out the rare treasure book, probed in with his spiritual thoughts, found a little starlight connected by Su Ziyue, and transmitted the message:
"Miss Su, Chen has come to Shuzhou."
Seeing that there was no response for the time being, Chen Yuan withdrew, took a deep breath in the Xantian Hall, and began to close his eyes to rest. He had many things to do.
One year is not necessarily enough.
Fortunately, his second uncle can be regarded as a helper to him. If he calculates it this way, he has two true kings, a semi-disabled immortal, and several god-refining immortals.
The strength is already infinitely close to the level of the top ten immortal sects.
When he has the power of a true king, he will be qualified to separatist forces and rebel. In addition, he also has a good relationship with Wei Jinfeng, and may be able to help him then.
However, as his power gradually expanded, so did his enemies.
The Liangshan bandits who are qualified to fight against the Seven Kills Palace, the Xiang family with eight hundred years of wealth, and Xiang Qianqiu, the scheming leader of the Xiang family, are Japanese barbarians and northern barbarians.
There is also the most powerful imperial court and the beings behind it.
These pressures are great, no less than carrying a mountain on his back. With Chen Yuan's current strength, he is still far behind. Therefore, almost from beginning to end, he has a strong sense of urgency to urge him to grow.
There is almost no time to relax.
When there is pressure, there is motivation. At least that's how Chen Yuan sees it. If the opponent is too weak, it won't be interesting.
While Chen Yuan was meditating, there was movement in the Heavenly Book, and a very familiar voice came from inside:
"congratulations."
"How is Miss Su doing now?"
Chen Yuan asked with great concern.
In the Taoist Palace, Su Ziyue and Jiang He were the people who had the greatest influence on Chen Yuan. He only came into contact with Jiang He after Tongxuan, while Su Ziyue started to contact him when he was in Ping'an County, during which he helped He did it quite a few times.
Since her brief appearance in the capital, Su Ziyue has not heard from her again, which actually made several Taoist masters a little worried, but even they have never explored Su Ziyue's origins.
Unless she takes the initiative to reveal it herself.
"Something went wrong in my practice. The Six Desires Immortal Sutra has affected my mind. I haven't been able to stabilize recently, so I haven't shown up." Su Ziyue hesitated for a moment and told Chen Yuan.
"Isn't the Six Desires Sutra prepared by Senior Moro? How could something go wrong?" Chen Yuan frowned. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with Moro?
"It's my own fault."
"oh?"
"The Immortal Sutra of Six Desires is a supremely wonderful method, and it is very suitable for me. However, I was eager for success some time ago and was affected by the seven emotions and six desires. In addition, there was some external pressure, so..."
"How can I help you?"
Su Ziyue had asked him to help before, and he didn't refuse. Now it's probably almost time.
Su Ziyue was silent for a long time without making a sound.
"Miss Su?"
"Need. Practice."
After pondering for a long time, Su Ziyue spoke.
"How to practice cultivation, you and I are not outsiders, just speak frankly."
"Well, in terms of practice in that area, I have been so horny and heart-burning lately that I can't suppress it for too long, so I need you to help me suppress it."
After saying this unspeakable thing, Su Ziyue fell into silence.
After hearing these words, Chen Yuan's eyes were a little strange, but the corner of his mouth actually evoked a smile. Su Ziyue's appearance was unparalleled in the world, and her temperament was incomparable.
She was actually more arousing than any woman he had ever seen.
From the first time he met him, Chen Yuan was actually suppressing himself, not daring to reveal his thoughts to avoid being suppressed by him, but this thought has always been lingering in his mind.
Unexpectedly, now
"Don't worry, Miss Su, you and I are inseparable. I will definitely help you with these matters and will definitely help you suppress the backlash of your skills." Chen Yuan's face straightened and he replied in a very serious manner.
"Yeah, thank you."
Su Ziyue responded.
To say that she doesn't like Chen Yuan is naturally impossible. Otherwise, in this kind of practice, she would not only look for Chen Yuan. Even if she is burning with heart, she will still suppress him desperately.
Now because the external pressure is too great, she has to confess to Chen Yuan.
When she was in Nanling Mansion and found that he was very close to Shen Yanshu, Su Ziyue felt a little uncomfortable for no reason and tried to find a way to send Shen Yanshu to the Goddess Palace.
To say that there are no private thoughts is impossible.
Possibly possessiveness is at play.
She kept telling herself later that it was also the Six Desires Sutra that was backlashing and affecting her mind at that time, but she could deceive others, but she couldn't deceive herself.
She did develop a slight liking for Chen Yuan.
When did it start?
It was almost the first time she saw Chen Yuan. She had seen many men, but Chen Yuan was the only one who didn't show any interest in him. She even avoided him, not wanting to get involved too deeply.
From that moment on, she became a little curious about this guy.
After that, it gradually evolved from admiration to admiration.
In a few years, he climbed from nothing to his current position. He turned the tide in Shenjing City, defeated all the heroes in the world at Dengxiantai, and died alone in Liangzhou City.
Only by understanding Chen Yuan can we discover that there is a magic power in him, a magic power that makes women unable to stop.
"We don't talk about thanking each other. Miss Su, you have helped me so much. My character is to repay kindness with drops of water and springs of water. Don't worry, as long as I am here, everything will be fine."
Chen Yuan continued.
"I just asked you to help me suppress the backlash."
Su Ziyue was still arrogant.
"I know, our relationship is pure and innocent, with a clear conscience." Chen Yuan recalled the headlights decorated on Su Ziyue's car, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
"Just know it, don't have other thoughts."
"Don't worry, what bad intentions could Mr. Chen have?"
"You have a lot of bad thoughts. You have one in Tangshan, one in the Goddess Palace, and several in the capital. Why, are you planning to take in all the beautiful women?"
Su Ziyue couldn't help but say it.
She was obviously the first one to come, but Chen Yuan ignored her. Couldn't he express his love for her? No matter how tough he is, he is always so polite.
So now she has to say it first.
Although she practiced the Six Desires Sutra and met many men, she was actually very conservative in her heart. She always thought that one man could only have her and one woman.
She even regretted that she should have suppressed Chen Yuan directly when his cultivation was weak, so that she only liked her and had no other thoughts.
As a result, I can't even beat him now.
But she completely wrongly blamed Chen Yuan. When Chen Yuan first entered martial arts, Su Ziyue had already cultivated Tiandan. The gap was a bit big, and he would not be able to do anything asked of him.
What he likes is being strong and having everything in his own hands.
"Miss Su, you are completely slandering me."
Facts aside, aren’t those women at fault?
Except for Shen Yanshu who took the initiative because of his special physique, neither Mrs. Xu, Concubine Yang, nor Second Sister Zhang took the initiative.
Shivering and cold, when will the men stand up!
"Bah, I still don't understand your temperament? Do you even have ideas about it, Sister Li?"
Su Ziyue's Six Desires Sutra began to backfire, and unknowingly, it affected her mind, and she couldn't help but talk about these romantic things with Chen Yuan.
"Which sister Li?"
Chen Yuan frowned, confused.
"What do you think? There are several pretty girls named Li around you?"
"Taoist Changqing?"
Chen Yuan didn't know why, but this person suddenly appeared.
"snort."
Su Ziyue became jealous and snorted.
"This is absolutely not the case. I swear on my good brother Jiang He that if I have bad thoughts towards Taoist Master Changqing, I will leave him alone for the rest of his life. He will never be able to marry Li Hongshuang in this life."
In the Xuntian Hall, Chen Yuan held the Heavenly Book and said very seriously.
"roll!"
Suddenly, the star belonging to Jiang He was lit up, and he couldn't help but reject Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan: "."
Su Ziyue: "."
After coughing twice, Chen Yuan immediately said:
"Old Jiang, when did you come?"
"Just arrived." Jiang He said calmly.
"The same goes for me."
"Same goes for me, too."
"The same goes for me."
After Jiang He finished speaking, the stars belonging to Li Suqing, Yang Huatian, Chu Changfeng and others also lit up at the same time, and the entire Heavenly Book space fell into silence.
Su Ziyue: "."
Chen Yuan: "."
In front of so many people, Su Ziyue's face instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but press her toes into a room with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms.
What a shame!
"Su Ziyue, I was quite worried about your condition, but now you are slandering me like this?" Li Suqing was the first to break the silence and couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Suqing, my technique has backfired."
"Yes, fellow Taoist Changqing, you."
Li Suqing: "Chen Yuan, please answer me a question first."
"what is the problem?"
"Why did you send a message asking Qingyan to go to Tangshan with Yan Shu?"
