Chapter 262

In another year, Master Cheng Wenzheng, the Southern Governor of Daxia Town, will be sixty years old.

According to Daxia's rules, at the age of 59, he is really qualified to organize a birthday banquet.As one of the largest military officers in the entire southwest region, as long as the Cheng family released news, countless speculators would swarm in, crowding half of Shaonan City like cooked porridge.

But what surprised ordinary people the most was the arrival of the star warlock Liu Kuang and the accompanying nearly 50 star warlocks.

Even gentlemen who don’t know much about the world of astronomy will have rich associations with the 50 astronomy. The approaching Northern Han Dynasty put the border into a state of emergency, and dispatched their own royal astronomy to guard it.

Cheng Wenzheng, who has fought for 40 years, really hopes that one day he can command 50 star warlocks.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this qualification. In the entire Great Xia, no one is qualified to command 50 star warlocks to fight.The military generals can't do it, His Majesty the Emperor can't do it, and Liu Kuangxing's warlock can't do it either.

In fact, apart from Liu Kuang who paid a symbolic visit to Cheng Wenzheng among the astrologists who came to Cheng's house, the others didn't have much interest in generals.

If Daxia's civil servant group is united and still has the strength to fight desperately with star warlocks, then Daxia's military general group is really too low-end. Apart from earning a lot of silver, it has almost no say in court affairs. Quantity—it is civil officials who decide to launch and stop wars, and temple calculations even include specific strategic work. The military generals in the entire Great Xia are almost all the duties of low-level officers.

However, even so, under the influence of ethics, Cheng Wenzheng still showed his loyalty to the court and the emperor.

Or he has so many children that he has no time to care about Cheng Jinzhou.Even though he only has two grandchildren so far, Cheng Wenzheng doesn't seem to take Cheng Jinzhou seriously.

What he cares about is always revenge and the capture of the Northern Han Dynasty - in the war 50 years ago, Daxia and Daliang fought like a raging fire.The Northern Han Dynasty took the opportunity to capture Yongsheng and Cangyuan in the southwestern border. Cheng Wenzheng's father, Cheng Yun'an's grandfather and Cheng Jinzhou's great-grandfather died in the battle to defend Yongsheng.

But in that era, there were so many nobles who died in the war with Daliang that the Cheng family didn't get much substantial benefits, even enough pensions, and Cheng Wenzheng was always fighting for it.

From young to old, from the battlefield to the court, Cheng Wenzheng has always regarded defeating the Northern Han Dynasty as his lifelong goal, and His Majesty Emperor Lizong also has the desire to fight.

Cheng Wenzheng has been on duty in the southwest for so many years, the main purpose is to provoke a war and command a war.The former is relatively easy, while the latter has to wait for those old and famous generals to die one by one.

Perhaps Cheng Wenzheng's personal will is so strong that Cheng Jinzhou has no impression of this cheap grandfather.If it must be described, a touch of dissatisfaction is more suitable.

When Sanfang needed help the most, when Cheng Jinzhou was isolated and helpless in the capital, the Governor of Zhennan never showed up.

On the contrary, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't understand how he would still trust and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor when Cheng Jinzhou was at his best.

Because of this, when the airship appeared above Shaonan City and caused a huge commotion below, he didn't go to Cheng's mansion to meet his grandfather, whom he had never met, but drove straight to the other courtyard of Cheng's mansion.

The thick, long and solid hull, the fluttering white sails, and the numerous star warlocks floating around all indicate the identity of the airship.

The officials of Shaonan and the gentlemen of the Cheng family all raised their heads, watched and participated in the discussion excitedly.

Warlock Liu Kuangxing, who had arrived two days earlier, also came out of the study, watching the airship's arrogant posture without saying a word.

When he came to Shaonan, he used the airship of the Star Warlock Association. In terms of luxury, the standard airship was far inferior to Jiang Huang Star Warlock's private airship.

Tang Wen came on behalf of Warlock An Feng, looked at Warlock Liu Kuangxing's expression and said, "I heard that Warlock Jiang Huang didn't follow, but with you guarding, Cheng Jinzhou can't make any trouble."

Liu Kuang's expression was numb, and he didn't say a word.

Regarding Cheng Jinzhou, no matter whether it is the Great Xia Astrology Association, the Xingzhou Astrology Association, or the Great Xia court, there has been a mess for a long time. So far there is no conclusion. See the essence of the problem.

The association cannot allow Cheng Jinzhou to continue to develop like this. In the long run, Cheng Jinzhou is bound to grow into a cancer.

However, the association also did not have the ability to directly disband Cheng Jinzhou's team. The huge benefits made persuasion almost impossible.The short-term pain caused by the forced dissolution is not something the association can bear.

After all, the association is not a powerful covenant organization at all.

Watching the airship slowly land in the other courtyard of the Cheng family, Liu Kuang whispered to Xiang Xin, "Go and greet Mr. Cheng first, and see if he is willing to come to Zhizhou Yamen to discuss with me."

He came to Shaonan as an imperial court, and living in Zhizhou Yamen is the most convenient and comfortable.

When Xiang Xin took off as promised, he saw two more black spots flying up from the other courtyard.

"Wait a minute." Liu Kuang said softly.

The two black dots increased their speed rapidly, as if they were about to leave Shaonan directly, Liu Kuang winked, and the two star warlocks climbed up to intercept.

Naturally, it was Tian Shimin and Mu Yin who fled to the outside of the city.Whether it was out of face or practical needs, the two of them didn't want to be directly exposed in front of everyone. After being released by Cheng Jinzhou, they wanted to sneak out before they were prepared.

Liu Kuang had astrologists who specialize in combat, and Cheng Jinzhou released them at a time when they were attracting attention. Seeing that they were about to be stopped, Tian Shimin and Mu Yinzhi were forced to turn around and descend.

The circle of star warlocks is very small. Tang Wen, who was also in the capital, said with a sneer when the two of them landed: "You are sending congratulatory gifts on behalf of the imperial court. Do you need to send them all the way to Shaonan? What did Cheng Jinzhou do to be unreasonable?" what happened?"

After all he said, he actually meant to explain to the two of them, but the eyes of the unfamiliar star warlock couldn't help showing doubts.

Tian Shimin was still able to maintain his aristocratic demeanor, but Mu Yin was ashamed and flung his sleeves to take off, saying: "I will burn their Cheng family's land first."

As a representative of the dandies in Beijing, Mu Yin said that burning is real burning, and there are no fireballs dancing around. He directly raised the temperature of the nearby buildings, and set the woodshed nearby on fire, and several servants rushed out shouting. , began to work as a firefighter.

Seeing that he seemed to be making trouble, Liu Kuang said loudly: "This is the imperial court's land, not the Cheng family's. You two, go back to Beijing and explain yourself."

Neither Tian Mu is considered an astromancer of the association, and he has no intention of defending it.

After all, astrologists always have ambivalence about cooperating with the imperial court.

Xiang Xin took off again and flew towards Cheng's other courtyard.

……

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Jinzhou refused to meet Warlock Liu Kuangxing.

His reasons are meaningless and sufficient: I am here to attend my grandfather's birthday, and before that, I will not meet outsiders.

According to Daxia's ethical thought, there are no omissions in his approach, and filial piety is always the best use.

Seeing outsiders like Liu Kuang Xing Warlock doesn't mean that Cheng Jinzhou won't meet the Cheng family, so in the next few days, Cheng Jinzhou rode Lu Xu and took more than five Astro Warlocks to meet the elders of the Cheng family one by one. Sometimes they even brought Cheng's parents and Cheng's mother who had just arrived in Shaonan.

Just like those aristocratic families with ages, as time goes by, the rights of the aristocratic family itself are often in the hands of elders of different branches with closer blood.Even at certain times, some family members become stronger due to their personal abilities, but they often cannot take away the rights from the elders.

For example, Cheng Jinzhou is currently, if he wants to do anything through the Cheng family, he still needs to obtain the consent of the clan reasonably and legally.The so-called clan refers to the elderly most of the time.Unless it is a critical moment of life and death, there will be a family referendum that does not work.

The reason why Xiao Cheng meets the elders one by one is also very simple, just to seek support, comprehensive and all-round support.

He didn't know what Warlock Liu Kuangxing wanted to do, nor what His Majesty the Emperor wanted to announce through Liu Kuang, but he knew one thing, the Cheng family was his backing after all.No matter where it develops, it has not developed smoothly in Shaonan, Jinzhou, or Daxia.

Even now in De'an, without the help of the Cheng family, without those capable stewards, without those trained accounting gentlemen, without those tested buyers, or other handymen, what would he be able to do by himself? Don't even try to get things done.

In the era of imperial examinations that emphasized agriculture, in addition to self-cultivation, talents formed spontaneously were all struggling in official careers.There will be no job fairs, no headhunters, let alone professional managers.

Even if it is the Astrology Association and the Holy Church, if they leave the political structure of the Great Xia and the court of the Great Xia, they will fall into a situation where there is no food to collect and no taxes to send, let alone Cheng Jinzhou alone.

To continue to develop, the Cheng family cannot be lost.

Xiao Cheng is very fortunate that he was born in an aristocratic family and saved more than ten years of work in cultivating talents.Because of this, he cherished it even more, and when he heard about Warlock Liu Kuangxing, he rushed over without stopping.

If it is just to save the grandfather's birthday, it is far from enough to make Cheng Jinzhou travel to Sri Lanka.

Before meeting with Liu Kuang, the star warlock, Cheng Jinzhou brought the star warlock to meet him, but there was actually no buffer or check and balance.The elders received a full amount of gift money, even if they didn't, it would be difficult for them to refuse the astromancer from the Cheng family.

The elders believed in the power of Warlock Liu Kuangxing, but the latter did not move out and work at all, so that people did not resist at all in one-on-one situations.

Liu Kuang didn't understand Cheng Jinzhou's delaying strategy until four or five days later. Before he figured out the importance of the Cheng family to him, Dr. Cheng Da had already completed the basic layout.

He has reason to believe that Liu Kuang's selection of Shaonan as the location for the dialogue has completely lost its original meaning.

Although he didn't know Liu Kuangxing's purpose at all.
