Chapter 77 The Back Road
The candlelight in the room was slightly shaking, and the three of them raised their heads at the same time. Ren Pingsheng had already sat in his position at some time, with a hint of worry on his face.
"Old Ancestor..." Li Yun called softly.
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand and said, "Last night, Daoyuan said a lot. What are you saying? "
The three of them were stunned for a moment. There were many things they could hear, and I wonder what the ancestor was referring to. After a while, Li Yun knew Ren Pingsheng the most: "What the ancestor said was poisoning?"
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said, "No, it's just poisoning."
Ren Fuqing smiled and said, "Of course we have carefully considered this. Horse thief, Mingyuexin, and Pingyuanshan are obviously a group of people. The one they use is called Baiyu Barbarian Insect Meal, which should be a poison. It seems that some people want to poison the Pingshan Dao Sect."
Ren Pingsheng glared at him, "Ignorance, what do you need to say?"
"Ancestor, what news is there?" Li Yun asked. After a day of traveling, the ancestor should have gone to find the answer. Now the answer has already been available, but the result is not ideal.
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly. Li Yun was really not very good in terms of cultivation, but his mind was much better than his nephew. However, he was most optimistic about Ren Daoyuan, not only because he was a Taoist master. When he talked about this last night, he was particularly detailed. Obviously, he had already thought of something. Is it a pity that his nephew, the nephew of the head of the family, who thought it was just a simple poison?
I sighed and felt that there was nothing I could do about it. After all, the Ren family is not a top family and I have never heard of many things. As the head of the family, Ren Fuqing can see limited height, so there will naturally be great deviations in judging the problem.
"Fuqing, you should stand higher and see further. As the head of the Ren family, when disaster comes, you should lead everyone to the road of survival, and when prosperity comes, you need to lead the family to glory."
"Yes, Fuqing has been taught." Ren Fuqing bowed, but his face was a little disapproving. It was obvious that he didn't think he had done something wrong.
Ren Pingsheng no longer taught his nephew a lesson and said, "As the saying goes, one state, one country, one Taoist sect. Behind each empire, there is a Taoist sect support. The Taoist sect is the foundation of this state and the strongest force. Today I went out to meet a few old friends and asked for some information. The name of this white jade barbarian insect powder is really quite good. It comes from the Baidu Manzhou Duman Dao Sect. It is an unsolvable poison. According to the level of cultivation and the amount of dose, it will have many different consequences. The light cultivation is regressed, the heavy body is dead, and even the Yang God is no exception."
"Duman Dao Sect?" Ren Fuqing said in surprise. Another Dao Sect appeared, and he still had to deal with the Pingshan Dao Sect in Yunzhou. This was a big deal.
"It is obvious that the Poisonous Dao Sect has begun to attack the Pingshan Dao Sect. Dao Yuan was just a coincidence and was inserted into it. He was originally going to be silenced later, but by chance, he saved everyone in the Dao Sect's Dao Sect's Dao Sect and was able to escape from danger. According to the Dao Sect's habit of doing something, if you want to do something, you cannot put all your treasures on a child like Dao Yuan. In other words, the Poisonous Dao Sect must have taken action before this, and there are more than one place."
Ren Fuqing frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, Liu Wumeng was slightly moved: "Old ancestor, what you mean is that the Poisonous Man Dao Sect wants to start a war with the Pingshan Dao Sect."
Li Yun said in a deep voice: "It should be the entire Baidu Manzhou and Guangde Yunzhou to start a war, including the Dao Sect and the Empire to start a full war. And according to the ancestor's intention, the Dao Sect should have succeeded. Before the battle begins, the victory or defeat is decided."
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said, "Yun'er said it well, troubled times are coming. I knew... I knew..." I didn't know what he knew.
"This...it doesn't seem to be our business." Ren Fuqing hesitated for a moment and said it, but it attracted a lot of rolling eyes. Even his wife Liu Yuanmeng didn't give him a good look. The ancestor was right, this person is really not suitable for being the head of the family.
Ren Pingsheng snorted: "The strength of Baidu Manzhou is only slightly stronger than that of Guangde Yunzhou. Why dare to take the initiative to attack? Even if the sneak attack and poisoning are successful, what do they use to defend Yunzhou? How can they ensure that the army and people of Yunzhou do not resist? Have they considered the reaction of Zhongtu Ganzhou? What about other states?"
A series of problems came over and immediately knocked Ren Fuqing out of the blue. He had never thought about these things. Now, after hearing what the ancestor said, this is true. People in Baidu Manzhou are crazy?
"Ancestor, what do you think?" Ren Fuqing was fine. He couldn't figure it out and would not think about it randomly. He directly asked for advice from the ancestor. Anyway, after doing this for more than 20 years, he had not made any mistakes. Oh, or it should be said that the ancestor did not make any mistakes.
"What do you think? Troubled times are coming, send some people to prepare for a few retreats. The north of Houtu Zongzhou has great ambitions and no need to consider it. It will definitely be a place for chaos in the future. Heishui Bingzhou in the south can send some people to Bingzhou, don't expect Bingzhou to be honest. They are not the ones who are stable. Find a remote port in the south and prepare for the place to settle down. If possible, send someone to buy a boat to prepare for the next step. Another person sent to Yuanming Yuzhou. The family's money will be collected, and the loans will be collected as soon as possible. The excess property will be sold. Except for the important transactions, the rest will be closed. All of them will be exchanged for gold coins. Deli personnel will be sent to Ruicheng Dezhou to collect some metal minerals. These things must be done quickly." Ren Pingsheng said.
Ren Fuqing wrote down one by one, but unexpectedly, the news brought by Ren Daoyuan would cause such a big reaction from the ancestor, and the entire Ren family would change accordingly.
He was wrong, and Ren Pingsheng naturally would not believe it just because of his nephew's words. During this day, he visited several old friends and inquired about many things. The identities of these people were not comparable to Ren Daoyuan. Although he was in Qingzhou, he had extremely well-informed information. Ren Pingsheng got more accurate information from them, and with the information brought back by Ren Daoyuan, he naturally came to a conclusion that shocked him.
Ren Pingsheng tilted his head and thought about it. Seeing if there were any missing parts, he didn't remember it for the time being, but he was not anxious. This matter sounded shocking, but in fact, time was still enough. In a short period of time, it was unlikely to affect the Eight Desolate Qingzhou.
"Okay, let's do it for now. Tomorrow, Yun'er will accompany you to the Huo family and take a closer look at what the Huo family is like. Among the younger generations, whether it is worth a fight for a promising person." Ren Pingsheng said.
"Yes." Li Yunying knew in his heart that the ancestor was beginning to win over allies. During the past twenty years as the writer-general of Ren Fuqing, the Ren family was calm and nothing major happened. They had a relationship with other aristocratic families, and they had no enemies or any ally that they could really rely on.
The next morning, Ren Daoyuan and Li Yun set out with a few servants and five big carts.
The Huo family’s old house was originally in the center of Yanqing Mansion. The years have been hard, so they had to sell the old house. The whole family moved into a villa near the edge of Yanqing Mansion. The villa is actually not small in size, but it seems much shabby compared to the old house.
Huo Yujia's rise has brought many benefits to the Huo family, and the whole family does not have to worry about their daily life. Two years ago, when they got married with the Ren family, the Ren family also gave them a considerable property, making the Huo family live a better life.
There are rules for family interactions. Yesterday, Ren Fuqing had already sent a visit on behalf of Ren Daoyuan. Today, the four doors of Huo Mansion were opened, and water was pouring on the ground. He was already waiting for his son-in-law to come.
Although it was a declining family, the rules were quite large. After a set of rules for welcoming and seeing off, Ren Daoyuan felt a little tired. Although he was the eldest son of the Ren family, he used to be sleepy and did not attend any banquet. Such welcoming and seeing off made him feel uncomfortable.
"Daoyuan, the family is poor, so you can laugh at it. This is Zhongtu Jun tea, which is not a good thing, but it has some characteristics. Let's try it together." The person who spoke was Ren Daoyuan's juntashan, Huo Yujia's father Huo Qingshan, a fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms.
He had a peaceful face, his fat hands, holding a Kung Fu teacup. The small teacup was almost covered by the flesh on his hands, and it looked quite funny.
The Huo family has indeed declined. Except for Huo Yujia who is a top-level cultivation in the earth level, Huo Qingshan is already the first strong martial arts cultivator in the family, but only has a middle-level cultivation in the earth level. Ren Daoyuan believes that if he really takes action, he can easily defeat him.
Let’s look at the Ren family again. If you don’t mention the Stephen Chow and Li Yun, the heavenly powerhouses, even among the servants, there are quite a few of them among the top-ranked earth-level servants. Originally, there were many servants in the Huo family, but when the ancestor of the Huo family passed away, they all left and scattered, and those who stayed were old, or had no prospects and just wanted to make a living.
After Huo Yujia was born, many people wanted to come back, but were rejected by Huo Qingshan. Huo Qingshan was not capable, but he was proud and easily refused to accept other help. As a result, the Huo family became more and more miserable and was almost squeezed out of Yanqing Mansion.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Ren Daoyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. It felt like it was just ordinary. In fact, Master Ren didn't know how to taste tea at all, and his mind was completely on this tea.
"I've suffered a lot in the past two years." Huo Qingshan was full of poverty and pride, but he didn't need to show off his son-in-law. After all, he was a decided in-law and was considered his family.
"Some experience is still helpful to Daoyuan." Ren Daoyuan said politely, knowing that this is his father-in-law who wants to know the experience of the past two years, and he can't say many things. Ren Daoyuan can only pick up something that doesn't matter, and it sounds interesting.
After hearing this, Huo Qingshan reluctantly responded with a smile, obviously not very interested. He pointed to the boy at the table and said, "I only have such a son. You are his brother-in-law, so you will have to take care of him in the future."
