Chapter 219 The difference between legitimate and illegitimate children
"The true biography of Chunyang Palace, Zhou Heng?"
Gu Xiao's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his handsome face that looked like a stone carving. He smiled and said, "Oh, okay, just right. I've heard of his name a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to show up now."
However, he did not get up, and still sat here, looking at Wang Liangcheng, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Wang Changfang, since he is the junior uncle of Chunyang Palace, he should be allowed to come in."
Chunyang Palace Zhou Heng!
Wang Liangcheng's expression changed slightly. As the direct eldest son of the Wang family in Xuanzhou, he would certainly not be unaware of the conflict between the Sun Palace and the Chunyang Palace.
Why did the people from Chunyang Palace suddenly arrive? Could it be that they heard some rumors?
But those industrial shops on Yuzhi Street are nothing to Chunyang Palace, so why send people all the way here?
And how could that boy Wang Xiuye come back with Zhou Heng? What's going on?
Many doubts suddenly appeared in his mind.
Now that he heard Gu Xiao's words again, he thought for a moment, nodded and said to the boy: "Okay, go and call them two over. After all, they are the sixth generation true successor of Chunyang Palace and the junior master of many seventh generation disciples. Uncle, don’t neglect me.”
"Yes." The boy quickly excused himself and ran outside.
After a while.
Zhou Heng and Wang Xiuye arrived at the reception hall and saw Wang Xueyuan standing aside at first sight.
This Spica can really hide itself. The grand master of the fourth grade is actually making tea.
Then, he looked at Gu Xiao who was sitting on the chair. Before he came here, he already knew that the people on the street were talking about this "Son of God" from the Sun Palace.
Zhou Heng looked up and down.
This Gu Xiao is indeed extraordinary, and he should have some abilities.
Wang Xiuye frowned, walked into the reception hall and went to Wang Xueyuan's side, saying: "Dad, what's going on? I heard Xiao Tang said that Zhumai wanted to sell Yuzhi Street and clear out all the shops in Yuzhi Street. ?”
"Brother means so." Wang Xueyuan nodded.
"Uncle!" Wang Xiuye looked at Wang Liangcheng and said, "Uncle, there are 1,725 merchants in Yuzhi Street, which support more than 100,000 people in Xuanzhou County.
"If you include other derivative industries, this is a major event that affects hundreds of thousands of people. You can't do this. It will cause trouble."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Wang Liangcheng's eyes became indifferent, he looked at Wang Xiuye and said in a deep voice: "Xiuye, the family has given you and your father a lot of preferential treatment over the years, and it has also given you a lot of courage. , you dare to point fingers at me?"
"I don't dare to practice." Wang Xiuye shook his head and said with a grimace: "But, this Yuzhi Street is really..."
"No need to say more." Wang Liangcheng interrupted Wang Xiuye directly and said to Wang Xueyuan: "Take Xiuye down, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of Yuzhi Street."
"Haha, okay, this is normal." Gu Xiao said with a smile: "This is the majesty of the direct line eldest son of the main line of the Wang family, otherwise I would have thought that in the four thousand-year-old family, there is no distinction between direct line and concubine. "
Wang Xiuye suddenly turned livid with anger. He was about to speak, but Zhou Heng held his shoulders down.
"Why are you interfering in the Wang family's own affairs?" Zhou Heng stepped forward and chuckled, "Is it possible that your surname is Wang too?"
"Zhou Heng, you don't have to use your words." Gu Xiao still sat firmly on the chair, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The business deal between me and Wang Changfang has been finalized, what do you want to say?"
"Master Gu, don't be angry, don't be angry." Wang Liangcheng hurriedly came over to smooth things over, and then said to Zhou Heng: "Master Zhou, please sit down, please sit down."
The head of the Wang family had a completely different attitude towards Zhou Heng than he had towards Wang Xiuye just now. He was very kind and invited him to sit down.
"There's no need to sit down." Zhou Heng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Wang Changfang, I would like to know what happened when Yuzhi Street was sold to the Sun God Palace?"
"This... haha." Wang Liangcheng laughed twice when he heard this, looked at Wang Xiuye aside, his eyes were cold, then turned to look at Zhou Heng, suddenly changed his expression to a gentle one, and said with a smile: "It is true. , I was just discussing this business with Mr. Gu.
“However, Taoist priest, please rest assured that our Wang family can guarantee that even though Yuzhi Street is sold, Chunyang Palace’s property will not suffer any losses.
"As for those merchants, we will also make arrangements, open new shops in new places for them, and re-establish industrial lines. You don't have to worry about them."
His words were completely different before. What he refused to let go of when facing Wang Xiuye and Wang Xueyuan was now fully committed.
This made Wang Xiuye stunned and even doubted whether he had heard wrongly.
Just, just agreed?
So simple?
Previously, he didn't want Yuzhi Street to be sold because he was worried about the livelihood of those merchants. Now that Wang Liang Chengdu has promised to solve this problem, what other reasons does he have to oppose?
However, Wang Xiuye did not expect that Zhou Heng just said a few words and made Wang Liangcheng relent.
"Zhou Heng, you should be satisfied now." Gu Xiao stood up and chuckled: "Wang Changfang is right. Although I bought the Yuzhi Street, I promise not to cause any losses to those shops. We also found a better and newer place for them to open a new store.
"If you are still not satisfied, I can even pay some settlement fees to those shops out of my own pocket, or you can put forward any other conditions."
"Wouldn't it be true that in a few days there will be rumors in the world that the 'Son of God' from the Sun Palace came to Xuanzhou County and ordered that all the properties of Chunyang Palace be moved away?" Zhou Heng laughed and said : "Yes or no?"
"The Chunyang Palace is such a large sect and has a long history. From the age of mythology to the present day, are you still afraid of such rumors?" Gu Xiao shook his head and said, "Zhou Heng, you are thinking too much."
"It's best to crush rumors early." Zhou Heng stretched out a finger and shook it slightly, "Especially such deliberately created rumors."
"Then you are determined to go against me?" Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled softly and waved his hands: "That's all, if you don't want to buy it, you won't buy it. A kid who didn't even make the top ten list, Why am I fighting with you? Wang Changfang, I’m leaving.”
With that said, he strode out of the Wang family's reception hall, got on his golden chariot again, was carried by sixteen people, followed by thirty-two maids holding flowers, and left the Wang family's mansion.
Zhou Heng was not taken seriously during the whole process.
"Too arrogant, too arrogant, this guy!" Wang Xiuye looked at Gu Xiao's leaving figure, trembling with anger, gritted his teeth and said: "What are you pretending to be? Believe it or not, Zhou Heng will beat you to death with one palm!"
"Wang Xiuye, if you talk nonsense again, I will do my best to kill you with one palm!" Wang Liangcheng roared in a low voice: "Do you know? Do you know what you have done? Get out! Get out! Wang Xueyuan, take the Get out of here with your son!"
"Uncle..." Wang Xiuye was stunned.
He didn't understand why Wang Liang was so popular. Even if the negotiation with Sun Palace failed, wouldn't there still be Zhou Heng from Chunyang Palace?
And compared to Gu Xiao, who was just a true disciple, Zhou Heng, the sixth generation true disciple, was obviously better.
Why get so angry?
"Get lost!" Wang Liangcheng yelled at Wang Xiuye again, turned around and smiled at Zhou Hengpai: "I'm sorry, Master Zhou, I made you laugh. Today is really disrespectful. Please return it to another day." , I will definitely treat you to a banquet someday and apologize."
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "As for the banquet, there's no need for it. I won't stay in Xuanzhou County for too long."
After saying this, he also walked out of the reception hall and left the Wang family mansion.
Wang Xueyuan and Wang Xiuye also left.
He also invited Zhou Heng to accompany him, and he could live in a house belonging to the Wang family.
In the huge guest hall, only Wang Liangcheng was left.
This sixth-grade innate master of secrets was panting and filled with rage. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "What a deputy chief, he is really capable!"
…
The house of a branch of the Wang family.
night.
Main house.
Wang Xiuye asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Father, why on earth is this? The family can obviously be friends with Zhou Heng, so why do we have to sacrifice the near and seek the distant to curry favor with that Gu Xiao?"
"Hey, Xiuye, you're wrong." Wang Xueyuan shook his head and said, "It's not the family that can befriend Zhou Heng, but our side branch that can befriend Zhou Heng."
"..." Wang Xiuye was slightly silent when he heard this, and after a while he said: "If a commoner comes from a side branch, doesn't he count as a member of the Wang family?"
"Forget it, of course it does, but we are not part of the direct lineage of the main line." Wang Xueyuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You still don't understand? In the eyes of the main line, there is a difference between direct concubines and concubines.
"Because of the difference between concubines and concubines, if you make friends with Zhou Heng and establish a friendly relationship with Chunyang Palace, you will not be considered to be making a contribution to the family. It will only be regarded as that you want to use the power of Chunyang Palace to fight against The main line competes, and even... wants to replace the main line. "
"I, I didn't think so." Wang Xiuye shook his head quickly.
"No, you have to think like this." Wang Xueyuan suddenly said, "Under the leadership of such a direct descendant, the Wang family has no hope and no future. It's okay now with the old man taking care of it, but that may not be the case in the future."
"What, could it be that the old man..." Wang Xiuye's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he reacted and said with some disbelief: "Father, you, you want to replace the main line?"
The old man they are talking about is the current head of the Wang family, a top fourth-grade grandmaster. He has lived for more than a thousand years and is about to expire.
"Wang Liangcheng flattered the Sun God Palace because he wanted the 'Kaiyang Thousand Life Pills' from the Sun God Palace and wanted to use it to extend the old man's life." Wang Xueyuan sneered: "But he forgot that the Wang family's four thousand years of history It’s not passed down by sucking up to others.”
"I, I'm a little confused." Wang Xiuye had a confused expression on his face and asked doubtfully: "Then father, what should we do now?"
"You just need to stay with Zhou Heng and befriend him." Wang Xueyuan said, "For the rest, just wait and see what happens."
"But father, you are only the Secret Sixth Grade." Wang Xiuye still couldn't help but ask: "I'm afraid it's difficult to convince the public with such a cultivation level. Although the old man is already the only Secret Fourth Grade in the Wang family, how many more are there? An old uncle from the fifth rank of the clan is here."
"They will agree." Wang Xueyuan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about these, I will take care of them."
"That's...ok." Wang Xiuye nodded.
"Go back and rest." Wang Xueyuan said: "Tomorrow is the first day of December, and the latest three rankings will be announced. Maybe a lot of things will happen in the city tomorrow."
"Yes, father." Wang Xiuye stood up to say goodbye and went back to his room.
After a while.
Wang Xueyuan suddenly spoke and said: "Star Master, you have heard it."
Squeak.
The back door of the room was pushed open, and Zhou Heng walked in and said with a smile: "No wonder Senior Spica has been hiding his light for so many years. It turns out he had a plan."
"The roots of the Wang family are rotten, and the main direct lineage is becoming more and more conservative. The old man only has a few more years to live, so what else can he do?" Wang Xueyuan sighed and said: "The Wang family is in danger, and I can only stand up. "
"I can extend the life of the old man of the Wang family by fifty years." Zhou Heng suddenly smiled and said, "Wang Changfang, are you willing to accept it?"
"..." Wang Xueyuan fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter after a while, "Hahaha, Taoist Zhou has seen through me, seen through me, yes, I want to be the head of the family and become a legitimate concubine.
"However, what I just said is not entirely a lie. You have also seen the situation of the Wang family. If I go, the Wang family will still have a way to survive in the future. If I don't go, the Wang family will definitely decline. I can't bear it."
"Indeed." Zhou Heng nodded. He had no sympathy for this kind of distinction between concubines and concubines, and then said: "Wang Changfang, I came to see you. I have something to say."
"Please speak." Wang Xueyuan nodded.
"I will kill people in the city tomorrow." Zhou Heng's tone was calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
"Gu Xiao?" Wang Xueyuan asked.
"That's right." Zhou Heng nodded and said, "I don't want anyone to disturb me when we fight him."
"Okay." Wang Xueyuan said decisively: "I will arrange it.
"Thank you very much." Zhou Heng said with a smile, "I will give you a hundred good deeds during the party."
"Seriously?" Wang Xueyuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Are you going to kill others? I can make other arrangements."
"Haha, that's not necessary." Zhou Heng stood up and said goodbye.
…
The next morning.
In a five-entry compound in Xuanzhou Chengnan District.
Gu Xiao was lying on a rocking chair, enjoying the service of more than a dozen beautiful maids.
Some people squeezed his shoulders, some pinched his feet, some beat his legs, some arranged his hair, and some cleaned up all kinds of fruits and fed them to his mouth with their delicate hands.
There was also a gorgeous stage set up in front, with more than twenty beautiful maids on it, wearing clear tulle, twisting their looming beauty and dancing gracefully.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties appeared out of thin air and walked over.
He was wearing a gray robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and his aura was very dark, making it difficult to detect his true cultivation level, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
"Sir, you just gave up on Yuzhi Street like this?" The middle-aged man came over and whispered: "The place where Chunyang Palace operates industries has a chance of condensing Chunyang Divine Veins, which is very important for your practice of "Wanyang Qianjing Dafa". "It's quite helpful."
"I know I won't give up on Yuzhi Street. Don't worry, Uncle Quan." Gu Xiao sat up from the rocking chair and said with a smile, "I just want to solve one thing right now."
"You mean Zhou Heng?" Uncle Quan frowned and said, "You can't touch him, his status is not ordinary."
"I don't want to kill him." Gu Xiao shook his head and chuckled, "I just wanted to humiliate him. Wouldn't it be fun for the young master uncle of Chunyang Palace to be defeated by me in public? ?
"Uncle Quan, don't worry. Little guy like Zhou Heng is not worthy of me killing him. After all, he is not even in the top ten of the list, and I was already ranked sixth on the list three years ago.
"In that great Dao battle back then, the Tao Lord of Chunyang Palace used despicable means to defeat my ancestors, which made my family and even the Sun God Palace lose a Dao Lord, no, they lost a first-level god!
"Zhou Heng has done well in recent days and has a high reputation. He is at the top of his game and has the status of a reincarnation of a great power. He is also the junior uncle of Chunyang Palace. It is really suitable to use it to gain the reputation of Chunyang Palace. ”
"Indeed." Uncle Quan nodded and said with a smile: "As long as it doesn't hurt his life or damage his foundation, it's just that Zhou Heng's skills are not as good as others, and Chunyang Palace can't say anything."
Tap tap tap!
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and it turned out to be a servant who looked like a young boy running back, holding a piece of paper with still wet ink on it.
"Young Master, Young Master! I have copied the top ten rankings of the latest issue for you." The boy ran over and handed the paper in his hand to Gu Xiao with a flattering look on his face.
"Not bad." Gu Xiao casually threw a full five taels of silver ingots to the young man, looked at the copied list, and coldly snorted: "Let's see if that bald donkey Cheng Zhi has any new achievements, he keeps beating me To be ranked sixth is really abominable.”
But it didn't matter at this glance, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up directly, staring at the words on the list, his hands trembling a little.
"Seventh place??" Gu Xiao's face was filled with an expression of disbelief, "How is it possible? How could I be seventh? I have always been sixth. Who took my position?
"Zhou, Zhou Heng? How is it possible? He didn't even make the top ten in the last ranking! How could he be ranked sixth all of a sudden? Why is he ranked sixth?"
Gu Xiao didn't believe it and continued reading.
…
"Name: Zhou Heng
"Age: seventeen years old
"Realm: Seventh Grade
"Identity: The sixth generation true successor of Chunyang Palace. He has promised to be a master and accept disciples for a generation. There is no doubt that he will be reincarnated.
“Battle record: …When he first entered the seventh rank, he killed the half-crippled Plague Emperor Sect’s Secret Sixth Rank Ma Quan…When the four major evil sects jointly issued a hunting order, he did not retreat but advanced, from Fangzhou to Suizhou, he fought alone for 90,000 miles, killed 93 evil sects of the seventh rank, and destroyed 16 evil sects…Killed Jia He, the top seventh rank master of the Plague Emperor Sect…Killed the tree man who was close to the Secret Sixth Rank and whose strength far exceeded Li Qingyao’s……Li Qingyao, who ranked seventh on the Human List, had fought with Gu Xiao, who ranked sixth on the Human List, and was only slightly inferior, so Zhou Heng ranked sixth.
“Title: Purple Lightning Thunder Blade, Demonic Blade, Demonic Thunder Envoy
“Ranking: Sixth”
…
“Fuck!”
Gu Xiao cursed, raised his hand and directly smashed the head of the servant who was still looking at the silver ingot and thinking about buying new clothes for his old mother, “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! Let’s go, I want to see this issue of the Human List with my own eyes!”
