I Am The Landlord In Another World Novel - Chapter 367

Chapter 367: The wife’s family affairs (1)

“There’s no smoke without fire. If the Emperor doesn’t have this intention, who would dare to attack the current eighth Duke?

There was an undercurrent in the Imperial court, and there were many hidden fights between the eight Dukes.

In particular, three or four of the eight Dukes were getting stronger and stronger.

The Emperor also wanted to inject fresh blood into their ranks to contend against them.

This was also the pain of the royal family. It was not good for one or a few families to monopolize it.

If they are in cahoots, great Chu will be in danger. ” Chu xiangluo said.

“It’s not just the eight Dukes, there are also some Kings. Seventh Prince, why don’t you be stubborn? with your talent, who can compare to you as the Crown Prince?” Chu Cong said.

“In this life, I’m only here for the luoshen clan. In this life, I’m only here for the luoshen clan. Sigh … Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s drink and relax.” Chu xiangluo waved her hand, her face full of worry.

“But you can’t have her … Why do you want to be stubborn? There are a lot of beautiful women in the great Chu dynasty, and some of them are even foreign. ” Chu Cong said.

“Don’t even mention it! I’ll get angry with you if you mention it again!” Chu Xiang’s face turned serious. Chu Cong sighed and did not dare to say anything more. He smiled and said,”you see, Lord Tang has this fate.”

“You mean Gu hanyan is as beautiful as a goddess?” Chu xiangluo asked.

“And that Mei niansu beside him is not bad either. Even that big sister-like Lin jingru is not bad either.

Look at Feng jiuxue, she’s valiant and heroic, her beauty not inferior to men.

Why do I feel that these women are all interested in Lord Jue?” Chu Cong said with a smile.

“Some people are born with bad intentions. That Feng jiuxue’s master, the one-armed God-nun, is not simple.” Chu xiangluo laughed.

……

“Of course, the one-armed divine nun is a great master and has a high status in the pugilistic world. Moreover, the Feng clan is one of the big families in ocean Saint City. ” Chu Cong nodded and said.

“Compared to the true first-rate clans, these are all second-rate clans.” Chu xiangluo snorted.

“Of course. In the great Chu dynasty, there is the Feng clan in the North desert and the Luo clan from the Penglai Island in the South Sea.

The Northwest’s Zhan clan, floating clouds city’s Yan clan, world Fort’s Gongsun clan, the capital’s long clan …

These few aristocratic families were the most well-known and first-class clans in the great Chu dynasty.

The so-called first class is just what I call it. ” Chu Cong nodded and replied.

“The Gongsun family’s mechanical skills are unparalleled in the great Chu dynasty, but you see, I don’t think they can make Tang Wen’s iron horses.” Chu xiangluo said.

“Western arts are indeed magical. If we can bring them in, would our great Chu still be afraid of them?” Chu Cong said.

“It’s a pity that they can sell you iron horses, but they won’t pass on their skills to you. This must be the foundation of the Westerners, just like the cultivation method of our royal family. ” Chu xiangluo shook her head.

“Tang Wen brought in some. For example, they can produce cement on their own.” Chu xiangluo said.

“Those are only used to build houses and do not pose a threat to the Westerners.

Even if they sold you a dozen second-hand iron-shelled ships, they would not pose a threat to them.

As you can see, we can’t import the Tang language for shipbuilding. ” Chu xiangluo said.

“Of course. They won’t sell their Foundation to you.” Chu Cong nodded.

“Fortunately, the West is too far away from us. Otherwise, great Chu would be in danger.” Chu xiangluo said.

“Yes.” Chu Cong replied.

“Even so, we must Rise Up! Although the possibility of the Westerners attacking us is very low, we can’t completely rule it out. Therefore, the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people are the foundation. ” Chu xiangluo said.

“We can’t compare to the Westerners in shipbuilding, firearms, and other aspects, but we can develop in martial arts.

As long as the great Chu dynasty has many experts, so what if the Westerners are the ship’s tip and the cannons ‘sharp?

The iron-shell ships that Tang Wen brought back were just decorations in front of Masters in the Qi cultivation realm.

If 30% of our Army is made up of Xiantian experts, the Westerners will not be able to return. ” Chu Cong said.

“Of course. However, we don’t want the more than two million soldiers of the Imperial court.

There were also more than a million constables, bailiffs, and thirty percent of the militia’s military equipment had reached the Qi cultivation realm.

That’s close to two million Qi cultivation realm cultivators! That’s impossible!” Chu xiangluo shook her head.

“That’s right, that’s impossible. However, we still have to find a way to increase the number of experts at the Qi nurturing level. ” Chu Cong said.

“It’s easier said than done. Qi cultivation realm experts are all made from silver and spirit pills.

Our dynasty is currently in chaos, and we can’t even afford to pay our soldiers. Where would we get the silver to train so many experts?

Not to mention anything else, just take the secret agent’s residence as an example. His Imperial father had recently decided to raise the abilities of the spies in the residence to the lowest level, the Qi nurturing realm.

However, there were only a few hundred secret agents. It was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

After all, it would take at least a few million taels to raise a Qi cultivation realm cultivator.

Moreover, they had to pick out those with outstanding martial Dao talent.

“It’s so difficult …” Chu xiangluo shook her head and sighed.

“Why don’t you open up the three secret realms of our dynasty and train a large number of experts?” Chu Cong said.

“The ability to secretly train experts is limited. If too many people go in, the effect of the secret realm will be greatly reduced.

Not only would they not be able to cultivate any experts, but the secret realm might also be destroyed.

Therefore, only geniuses can be selected to enter the secret realm. ” Chu xiangluo said.

“The royal family’s three great secret realms can’t even compare to Tang Wen.” Chu Cong said.

“Why do you say that? The three secret realms of the Chu family are not as good as Tang Wen. Chu Cong, you’re so silly!” Chu xiangluo reprimanded with a stern face.

“I’ll take you to the Tang family’s cultivation Pagoda for a walk and you’ll understand. ” Chu Cong said.

“Cultivation Pagoda?” Chu xiangluo was startled and said,”could it be the secret cultivation room we built?”

“It’s different, it’s very different,” Chu Cong shook his head.

“Let’s go and take a look. ” Chu Xiang was interested.

“Okay, I’ve talked to Tang Wen in advance. He agreed to let us go to the top half of the floor.” Chu Cong nodded and brought Chu xiangluo to the cultivation Pagoda.

“Isn’t this just an ordinary tower?” The first thing she saw was the cultivation Pagoda. Chu xiangluo shook her head in disappointment.

“There are some things that are only for show, but Lord Jue’s cultivation Pagoda is focused on the inside.” As Chu Cong spoke, he brought Chu Xiang down to half the level.

The moment the pagoda door closed, Chu xiangluo blurted out,”Dragon Realm …”

“The Dragon Realm, yes. Shen Gongyang also said that this place is similar to the Dragon Realm.

I haven’t been cultivating here for long, only twice, but my power has already risen by three levels.

Especially a few days ago, Shen Gongyang had risen four levels in a row.

He directly advanced from the great circle of Qi cultivation to the late stage of element gathering tier. This is simply too heaven-defying. ” Chu Cong said.

“The great circle of Qi cultivation and the late stage of element gathering? It’s hard to do even in the Dragon Realm, unless you have the Holy Spirit Water. If you’re lucky, you can cross four small realms. ” Chu xiangluo took a deep breath and said.

“Well, Shen Gongyang did have the help of the Holy Spirit Water.” Chu Cong nodded and said.

“Where did he get the Holy Spirit Water?” Chu xiangluo was stunned and turned to look at Chu Cong.

“Tang Wen gave it to me.” Chu Cong said.

“How does he have the Holy Spirit Water? this Holy Spirit Water can only be found in the Dragon Realm. Even the Tiger realm can’t produce it.” Chu xiangluo’s face was filled with shock.

“He said he came from the West and was given to him by a Western Crown Prince. However, it was just a few drops. Now, it’s probably almost gone. ” Chu Cong said.

“It’s enough. Even the Dragon Realm of the royal family only has a dozen drops a year. Up until now, I’ve only received two drops because of my outstanding performance, but that was two years ago. ” Chu xiangluo said.

“Yes, there are too many people in the imperial family. Just seventh Prince, you have dozens of brothers. As for the various Grand Princes, AI … It’s already a great fortune to be able to get two drops. The Emperor himself probably gets three or four drops every year. ” Chu Cong said.

“That’s a must. Father has never stopped cultivating.

However, cultivation was related to one’s talent.

It’s too difficult for father …”Chu xiangluo sighed,” this cultivation Pagoda must be worth a lot, right?”

“Of course, this half level is the best. This cultivation Pagoda is full of spiritual stones. It’ll probably cost two to three billion.” Chu Cong nodded and said.

“Actually, the top 20 sects in great Chu all have their own Tiger realms.

Although it couldn’t be compared to the Imperial Dragon Realm, it still had such an effect.

It was said that in ancient times, this place was called a spiritual vein, and it was a place where spiritual Qi gathered.

In the ancient times, there were many spirit stones. However, the spiritual stone mine was exhausted later on.

Now, we can only find it in some ancient ruins or underground palaces. ” Chu xiangluo said.

It was late at night, and the people in the bridal room had left, leaving only Tang Wen and Gu hanyan in the room.

“Wifey, a moment in the spring night is worth a thousand gold. Let’s sleep, we can’t waste it.” Tang wenzui said in a daze.

“My husband, what waste? it’s so embarrassing.” Gu hanyan’s face was red, and her breath was like spring.

“You don’t want to?” Tang Wen asked.

“No, husband, this servant is so happy that father and mother should be at ease. It’s just that, ah … I’m enjoying myself here, but father and mother are suffering. ” Gu hanyan’s tears were glistening.

“Suffer, aren’t your parents dead? I believe that they will be happy underground. ” Tang Wen said.

“Who said my parents are dead?” Gu hanyan was furious.

“He didn’t die?” Tang Wen was stunned and looked at Gu hanyan in a daze.

“He didn’t die! But now, he didn’t know if he was Dead or Alive.

Even if they didn’t die, they were still suffering. As their daughter, I couldn’t save them from the sea of suffering.

Unfilial, unfilial …’Gu hanyan finally cried.

“What’s going on? When I asked you in the past, you said that the time wasn’t right. Now that we’re husband and wife, you should tell me. ” Tang Wen asked.

“My father, Gu Tong, was originally the Commander-in-Chief of the Jin Ling Prefecture’s Yi jianhai sacred city, a rank three official.

His mother, Qi Yueying, was the eldest daughter of Qi Tai, the Prince of Beiling County.

Grandfather discovered that Lord of Mobei, Hu Lie, had the intention of rebellion, so he secretly reported it to the court.

He didn’t expect Hu Lie to know about it. This person had countless henchmen in the court.

My father was grandpa’s student, so of course, he was grandpa’s right-hand man.

Hu Lie couldn’t take my grandfather down, so he targeted my father.

That year, the louxiang Kingdom invaded Mobei. Hu Lie asked the court for help, and the court ordered my father to transport grain, grass, and horses to Mobei.

For some reason, millions of taels of grain and horses were taken away by the Lou Xiang Kingdom.

Hu Lie accused my father of treason. With the support of his accomplices in the court, although my grandfather tried his best to defend himself, the Emperor threw my father into the death row in a rage.

In the end, his grandfather tried his best to avoid his father’s death. However, he was sent to the Ningxing tower and never to return.

His mother was deeply in love with his father and would rather stay with him.

“As soon as my father was taken away, Hu Lie sent experts to exterminate my entire family. At that time, only my brother, Gu Yifei, and I managed to escape under the protection of a few of my father’s loyal subordinates.

After that, he tossed and turned and ended up on SuMei Island in Yan Ling Ling.

This place was very far from Mobei, but it was still possible to survive.

Later on, he heard that his grandfather had also been impeached and was implicated, causing him to be dismissed from all his positions.

Moreover, he had been fined ten million taels of silver that year and almost emptied the North County estate, only retaining the title of Beiling County Prince.

All these years, grandfather’s family of a few hundred people must have had a hard time. ” Gu hanyan said as she sobbed.
