LRAB Chapter 172
Chapter 172
Chen Jing'an made an agreement in person, asking Chen Qingzhi to come to his father-in-law tomorrow and meet the Qi family girl.
When Chen Qingzhi is older, he will welcome the Qi family girl into the house.
Qi Haifu had no objection to this.
He was originally a businessman, and he made any decision after careful planning, and rarely did not put the money in the bag.
Today, he did not ask the two young people to get married immediately.
To a large extent, this is because Chen Jing'an has a good reputation.
In addition to his friendship with him for more than ten years.
A more important reason is that Linghe County has just resumed the incense of the Huang family.
It turned out that Master Huang Fu was old and had moved to Linghe County a few years ago.
He didn't have much time left, so in the last time of his life, he chose to squeeze out his surplus value to pave the way for his young great-grandson.
In addition to leaving half of the family property to his grandson-in-law Chen Jingyang and his eldest disciple Huang Ping to maintain this relationship for his great-grandson.
Master Huang Fu also tried his best to do things that would please Chen Jing'an.
The most typical example was the gentleman's alliance he made with Chen Qishan, the former patriarch of the Chen family.
Master Huang Fu frankly stated that he came from the former "Panshan Huang Family". He spread the news about the gentleman's alliance and Chen Jing'an's adherence to his ancestors' agreement and restoration of the Huang family's incense.
This really played a significant role.
In particular, it accumulated a lot of reputation for Chen Jing'an.
The so-called reputation, if you expect to cash it directly, is obviously a bit difficult, because the cultivators always believe in "benefit first".
But to say that reputation is useless is too absolute.
Especially for a foundation-building real person like Chen Jing'an.
Regardless of whether Master Huang Fu beautified this past, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Jing'an granted the fiefdom and restored the Huang family's incense.
Standing at this level.
Others' moral expectations of Chen Jing'an are relatively high.
Due to the nature of cultivators, they still would not trust Chen Jingan with big benefits, such as asking him to keep the spiritual medicine for foundation building, and asking him to keep all the money and property.
Such a stupid thing that is clearly a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth is absolutely impossible.
But big benefits cannot be entrusted, but small benefits can be.
Just like the marriage of the younger generation that Chen Jingan promised Qi Haifu today.
Even if he postponed it for a few years, Qi Haifu still believed that Chen Jingan would fulfill the agreement normally.
This trust is the small benefit brought by reputation.
Because, with Chen Jingan's current reputation, it is not worth doing something to get something for nothing for the position of a son or concubine.
But if it were someone else.
Especially a foundation building master who is not very familiar with him.
Then Qi Haifu would not only worry about whether the other party would fulfill the agreement, but also whether his daughter would be in danger of life if she went to another family.
Chen Jingan finalized the business with him.
If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them could now be in-laws.
Chen Jingan could go a little deeper into the things he asked, especially some sensitive topics.
…
Wait until Qi Haifu is off duty.
Chen Jingan invited him out of the territory of the Hundred Households Office, and used his magic power to set up a barrier, and then asked his doubts.
"Old Qi, since you are from the Qi family of the three treasure families, I wonder if you have heard of the Zhou family?"
Qi Haifu was still smiling, but when he heard the word "Zhou family", his face changed immediately.
This made Chen Jingan happy.
It seems that Qi Haifu really knows some inside information.
Chen Jingan didn't expect too much. As long as he could hear something from him, he would not be confused all the time, and he would be satisfied.
Qi Haifu briefly considered and then spoke.
"My dear relative, you want to ask about this matter. I happen to know a little about it, but this thing is strictly forbidden to be discussed by the imperial court. For the sake of safety, I need to know why you are asking."
Chen Jing'an did not hesitate to briefly recount his conversation with Yuan Zhi.
Hearing this, Qi Haifu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that Yuan Zhi really treats my relative as his own. It is rare to be able to be so open-hearted."
Chen Jing'an did not speak, waiting for Qi Haifu to speak.
"If we want to talk about this matter, we still have to trace it back to the previous dynasty. Our Daqian has been established for 600 years, and the historical books about this dynasty are very rich. But as long as it is related to the previous dynasty, except for the name of the country "Da Zhou", the rest of the things have been burned by the whole country many times, and the age is so long that it is difficult to trace."
Chen Jing'an did not think of linking a family with the name of the country.
Because according to normal logic, the establishment of a new dynasty must be to kill the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Moreover, Daqian has been established for 600 years.
In such a long time, even a powerful Jindan Zhenjun like Daqian Taizu has passed away.
Even when the previous dynasty collapsed, there was indeed resistance left.But after such a long period of baptism, even the most loyal and good generals were probably sent away.
Therefore, Chen Jing'an always thought that the Zhou family was a hidden danger that appeared in the six hundred years since the founding of Daqian.
Qi Haifu then threw out another shocking news.
"Strictly speaking, the Zhou family you are asking about now is actually the same family as the royal family of this dynasty, and is also the descendant of Taizu."
Chen Jing'an digested this and seemed to understand.
"You mean, Taizu of this dynasty is actually the son-in-law of the previous dynasty?"
Qi Haifu nodded: "Grandpa Taizu started his army as a son-in-law, and when the royal family of the previous dynasty was seriously injured, he took control of the world in one fell swoop."
"Speaking of which, the demise of the previous dynasty was not a decline, but a disaster at the peak of its prosperity."
"It is rumored that the previous dynasty's 'Zhou Zhenjun' had nine sons, and people called them Jiulong..."
...
At the same time.
Capital, Library.
Chen Qingli was bored and had been looking for news about the Zhou family to no avail, so he decided to find some folk unofficial history to read.
His appetite had become more sophisticated now.
It didn't matter whether unofficial history was historical or not, but it had to be wild enough.
He casually took out a book called "The Story of the Dragon's Transformation", written by Ye Dasanren.
Chen Qingli thought that someone had mistakenly put "Zhiguai" into "Guozhi" and planned to put it back after reading it.
When he turned the page, he knew that it was about the story of a snake's cultivation.
There were three chapters in total.
The snake cultivated for a hundred years and became a viper, the viper for five hundred years and turned into a dragon, and the dragon for a thousand years and turned into a dragon.
This was a story of cultivation written from the perspective of a snake.
For someone like Chen Qingli who had no spiritual roots, it was really fresh and fascinating, and he quickly finished the first two chapters.
The little snake that he had watched grow up finally cultivated into a dragon, and Chen Qingli wanted to see him turn into a dragon next.
But——
When he turned to the third chapter, what he saw was not the content of the dragon transformation, but a completely new story.
"Once upon a time, there was a country called Ye. There was an emperor in Ye who called himself a real dragon. He had nine princes, each of whom was a dragon among men..."
When Chen Qingli saw this, he couldn't help cursing.
This bastard author, you can't write, stop writing, this is not what I want to read!
While cursing, he continued reading.
So——
Chen Qingli soon became really interested, because this Ye Dasanren was very good at telling stories.
The nine princes of the emperor of Ye were nine dragons in the author's mouth, and only those who finally won the throne could successfully transform into a dragon!
In this chapter, the nine princes fought each other fiercely.
In the end, only Ye Silong and Ye Balong survived.
Chen Qingli's blood boiled, and he thought he would see the competition between these two dragons next.
He was ready to praise Ye Dasanren.
It was well written!
Unexpectedly, Ye Dasanren gave him another surprise this time
And there was no turning point this time!
The duel between the two dragons that he had been looking forward to for a long time did not happen.
Instead, the emperor of Ye Kingdom suddenly died.
Ye Silong ascended the throne and Ye Balong was forced to leave Ye Kingdom.
Then——
While Ye Silong was having a meal, he was suddenly rebelled by his most valued minister.
Thus, Ye Kingdom perished.
This is not a bad ending. Chen Qingli felt that "Ye Dasanren" could enter the palace. What kind of man are you!
No...it didn't seem to say that it was a man.
