Chapter 1393 -49: The Great Emperor’s Freeloading! Shou Zhe’s Trick
…
In the blink of an eye, Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard became bustling with activity, almost bursting at the seams.
Inevitably,
Wang Shouzhe summoned a group of maids, some setting up tables, others placing chairs, and diligently serving Spirit Melons, Spirit Fruits, and Spiritual Tea, transforming the yard into a tea gathering.
These were all his very important relatives.
Many of them had offered Wang Shouzhe significant help during his growth. Wang Shouzhe himself was a man who cherished old ties, remembering everyone who had helped him.
As for Wang Gui, who also came to seek favors, he retreated to a corner with his great-grandson. There was no helping it; every person present was a heavyweight from the Changning garrison. They were simply out of his league~
“Elder Gongsun Meng, seeing you glowing with good health, it seems your cultivation has advanced rapidly,” Wang Shouzhe warmly and respectfully treated his senior, Gongsun Meng, personally brewing a cup of tea for him.
During the Wang family’s most difficult times, it was thanks to Elder Gongsun Meng’s assistance that they were able to overcome their struggles, a favor Wang Shouzhe would never forget for a lifetime.
“Not at all~ But you, Shouzhe, have already surpassed us old bones,” Elder Gongsun Meng gazed at Wang Shouzhe with deep emotion.
He was a Profound Martial Body Cultivator, with vigorous qi and blood and a robust constitution.
Originally, Elder Gongsun Meng’s natural talents were not bad, almost reaching the level of a Little Sky Pride, but the limitation lay in his family’s foundation, which delayed his progress. It was only later when the Gongsun Clan of Shanyang and the Wang family jointly managed businesses, earning a substantial amount of money, that they found a way to enhance Elder Gongsun Meng’s bloodline.
Despite being of the Spirit Platform Realm, the effect of Dan medicine on his bloodline was greatly reduced. However, with the help of Qi Ling Pills, Blood Refining Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and a fortuitously acquired Bridal Clothes Blood Gu King, his talent was still elevated to the level of a Ding Grade Celestial Genius.
Now, being over two hundred years old, he still diligently pursued his cultivation. Over the years, his cultivation base soared, reaching the fifth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Although he was a bit older, with sufficient resources and the help from Shouzhe and Li Xian to regulate his body and extend his lifespan, his path to the Purple Abode Realm was still very promising.
After mingling with various relatives and friends, Wang Shouzhe finally said, “I understand your desire to secure a bright future for the outstanding younger members of your families. It is a natural sentiment.”
“However, this military recruitment is aimed at the entire Changning garrison region. I believe that with the strength of each family’s outstanding youths, they can still earn a place within the militia.”
“Shouzhe, we’re not afraid of competing with others,” said Chen Fangjie, sporting a mustache and nearly as handsome as Shouzhe, “We’re afraid of competing with the Wang family. Your Wang family’s younger generation has too many talents! If we don’t come forward, I’m afraid the positions of battalion commanders and captains will all be taken by the Changning Wang Clan alone.”
“That’s right, if the younger generation of the Wang family all participate, among the thirteen battalions’ commanders and vice commanders, there are thirty-nine positions which the Wang family could take at least twenty,” said Lu Xiaoxiao softly, “What can our home’s troublesome youngsters compete with?”
As for the positions of battalion leaders and the two vice legion commanders, they didn’t even dare to consider… After all, the battalion leader was the renowned Wang Anye, and the vice legion commanders were mostly very outstanding youths from the Wang family. They knew well enough that they stood no chance against them.
“It does make sense what you all say,” Wang Shouzhe now understood their worries and chuckled, “After all, the militia is recruited throughout Changning. It wouldn’t be good for the Wang family to dominate. How about this, the Wang family will take only six each of the positions of battalion commander and vice commander. After all, the Wang family also needs outstanding talents elsewhere; we can’t pour all of them into the militia. All the in-law families, including the Lei Family, Xu Family, Wang Family, and all of you present shall vie for the remaining six each.”
“The last one plus one position will be left open to see if any dark horse can emerge from the other Eighth and Ninth Grade Prominent Families.”
Wang Shouzhe then voiced the well-thought-out strategy he had been brewing in his heart.
In fact, the initial intention of establishing this militia fighting group was to once again integrate and consolidate the families and interests of the entire Changning garrison.
Shared interests require a collective strength to bear and defend. Otherwise, why would Wang Shouzhe bother recruiting an army publicly? He could have simply selected people from the clan and household members.
“Cousin, it’s a promise then.”
Lu Xiaoxiao, now a mature and beautiful woman, lit up with excitement.
If the Wang family only took six commander and vice commander positions each, she was quite confident in her own family’s great-grandnephew.
After all, Wang Shouzhe’s biological mother was Lu Mengxue, with half of Wang Shouzhe’s bloodline being from the Lu family. Hence, over these hundred-odd years, Wang Shouzhe had taken good care of the Lu family.
Nowadays, the Lu family surely didn’t lack Tianren Realm Cultivators, with several young Sky Prides among the younger generation, only too young and yet to mature.
As for Lu Xiaoxiao herself, fortune had been kind to her, often gathering a plethora of formation problems, seeking guidance from Wang Anye’s Master, Ji Wuchen, which allowed her to delve deeper into the mastery of being an Array Master.
With the title of the second Array Master of the Southern Six Guards, she had made a fortune over the years, even contracting many of the Wang family’s Spirit Fields’ Small and Medium Spirit Gathering Arrays with her clan members.
