Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

When Yang Zhengshan came to Chunzaitang again, the battle in Chunzaitang had ended.

"My Lord!" Ding Qiu saw Yang Zhengshan coming back and hurried forward to pay his respects.

"Well, how is the situation?"

"A total of 36 people, 28 killed, 8 captured alive!" Ding Qiu said.

"What about the brothers?"

"Twelve were injured, but none of them are in danger of death. I have sent them to the clinic!" Ding Qiu said again.

Yang Zhengshan watched with satisfaction as the guards carried the bodies out of Chunzaitang one by one.

"My Lord, what should we do with these scholars?" Luo Jinsong came over and asked.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at the literati huddled in the pavilion and said lightly: "Take them all away and hand them over to the Secret Guards for disposal!"

Who knows if there are any hidden spies here, what if there are?

He certainly can't let them go, as for how the Secret Guards will deal with it, that's their business.

"Yes!" Luo Jinsong responded and immediately asked the guards to drive those literati out.

"Master, Master!"

At this moment, the King of Dai appeared out of nowhere and shouted at Yang Zhengshan.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan looked at the prince, a little speechless.

"Your Highness the King of Dai!"

"Master, you are actually a congenital warrior!"

"I am not your Highness's master!"

"Oh, it's okay, I will ask my father later. If my father does not allow it, I will kneel in front of him and not get up!"

The King of Dai said excitedly.

"Uh~~"

Yang Zhengshan didn't know what to say. Emperor Yanping must be upset to have such a son.

"I still have something to do, so I won't talk to your Highness anymore!"

Yang Zhengshan said, and then he got on the horse.

Hiss~~

Hongyun screamed at the King of Dai, as if saying, 'Boy, you are blocking my way, why don't you get out of the way! '

The King of Dai looked at Hongyun, and his original excitement became even more excited. He looked at Hongyun with shining eyes, as if he saw a peerless beauty.

Well, perhaps in the eyes of the King of Dai, a peerless beauty is not as attractive as a fine horse.

"Good horse!"

Sigh~

This lord does not need your praise!

Hongyun glared at him, bypassed him, and carried Yang Zhengshan towards the direction of the imperial city.

The yamen of the Secret Guard was on the street outside the Meridian Gate. When Yang Zhengshan brought people to the yamen of the Secret Guard, he found that many people were escorting a group of people to block the yamen of the Secret Guard.

"Brother Yang!"

Liang Chu drove his horse over and laughed, "Haha, it seems that you have gained a lot!"

"Not bad, except for this, the others are all petty thieves!" Yang Zhengshan laughed.

"Innate warrior! Haha, it's really unexpected!" Liang Chu looked at the corpse carried by Yang Zhengshan, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

Involving the innate warrior, this matter is a big deal.

Especially this time, so many rats hiding in the dark were caught, but no matter what forces are behind these people, Darong will never let it go.

And a force with innate warriors is definitely not a small force.

After a while, Liang Chu and Yang Zhengshan handed all the people and corpses to the Secret Guards, and went to the Imperial City to report.

Entering the Imperial City again, Yang Zhengshan found that the atmosphere in the Imperial City today was a bit solemn.

From the Meridian Gate to the Taiji Hall, there were soldiers from the Yulin Guards and Jinwu Guards on duty everywhere.

When they arrived at the gate of the Taiji Hall, Yang Zhengshan and Liang Chu were stopped outside the gate. After a while, Ningguo Duke Zhou Mao, Rongguo Duke Duan Rui and Nanyang Marquis Lu Baishu also came one after another.

Several people nodded, which was considered to be a care.

After waiting for a while, Chen Zhongshu walked out of the Taiji Hall and looked at the five people with a smile.

"Dukes, marquises, His Majesty invites you!"

"Sorry to bother Eunuch Chen!" Rongguo Duke Duan Rui politely clasped his fists and saluted.

"I dare not, Rongguo Duke please!" Chen Zhongshu said with a smile.

Then the group entered the Taiji Hall and came to the Imperial Study.

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Yanping stood in front of the window, his hands in his sleeves, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the people who came in.

Yang Zhengshan entered the study and glanced at it casually.

There seemed to be nothing unusual in the study. Several eunuchs in front of the emperor stood beside it, and there were two figures wearing black flying fish clothes standing beside it.

Black flying fish clothes?

The flying fish clothes are bestowed clothes, just like the Qilin clothes and bullfighting clothes of the nobles. Only His Majesty can reward them to wear them.

However, there are also special cases, such as officials above the commander of the Secret Guard can wear flying fish clothes, and people from the Imperial Guard can also wear flying fish clothes.

The two people in front of him should not be from the Imperial Guard!

Blood blade!

Yang Zhengshan's heart moved slightly, thinking of this extremely mysterious organization.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed and said.

"No need to be polite!" Emperor Yanping smiled faintly, "I know everything, all of you have done a great job!"

His eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Yang Zhengshan.

"Marquis Jing'an, I didn't expect you to break through to the Xiantian so quickly!"

Yang Zhengshan bowed again and said, "I am grateful to the late emperor. If it weren't for the late emperor's reward of Sanhuang Li, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly."

The Sanhuang Li was given to Yu Qingyi, but Yang Zhengshan still had no problem using it as an excuse.

It was indeed unexpected that he broke through so quickly, but if it was because of the assistance of Sanhuang Li, it was not difficult to accept.

When Emperor Yanping heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "I see, I forgot that my father had also rewarded the Marquis of Jing'an with three yellow plums."

"Hey, compared to my father, I'm really far behind!"

The more outstanding Yang Zhengshan is, the better the vision of Emperor Taiping is.

After all, Yang Zhengshan was someone whom Emperor Taiping valued at the beginning.

Then, Emperor Yanping changed his voice and said: "My dear friends, you have worked hard, please go back and rest first. After the secret military guards find out what happened today, they will inform you dearly. You still need to pay more attention to it at that time." !”

"I understand!" everyone responded.

Obviously, everyone knows that today's matter is not over yet. Although they arrested many people today, from the Imperial Guards to the Secret Armed Guards, to the Twelve Guards and the Twelve Guards Battalion, they even captured a He is an innate warrior, but the more people he arrests, the more it proves that the power hidden behind him is powerful.

There is such a powerful force hidden in Da Rong. Emperor Yanping will naturally not give up. If he does not dig out this force and get rid of it, Emperor Yanping will probably have trouble sleeping and eating.

Everyone left, Yang Zhengshan said a few casual words to Duan Rui and Zhou Mao before returning home.

Speaking of Duan Rui, the Rongguo Duke is also a powerful figure. Forty years ago, when Duan Rui inherited the position of the Duke, it can be said that the Rongguo Duke's palace was in extreme decline.

And Duan Rui was a playboy who was neither good at literature nor military. At that time, many people felt that the Rongguo Duke's palace was going to completely decline.

But what people never expected was that under the leadership of Duan Rui, the Rongguo Palace would actually regain its vitality.

Duan Rui was neither a man nor a warrior, but his two sons were both extraordinary beings.

The eldest son Duan Qifeng has been in charge of Beiyuan Town for twenty years and has an army of 200,000.

Although the second son Duan Qijiang has no official position, he is a half-step innate warrior, and his talent and cultivation are not much worse than Lu Baishu.

If Lu Baishu is the warrior most likely to break through to the innate realm among today's nobles, Duan Qijiang ranks second.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two sons that Duan Rui's status in the court has become higher and higher in recent years.

Since Zhou Mao returned home to retire, Duke Rongguo's mansion has almost replaced Ning Guogong's position in the Xungui circle, and has almost become the spokesperson of the Xungui group.

However, Duan Rui has also matured with age. Like Zhou Mao, he will not show up in court unless summoned by Emperor Yanping.

The Rongguo Palace also acts very low-key. Even though everyone is very powerful in the Rongguo Palace, some people still ignore the existence of the Rongguo Palace.

As nobles, sometimes you can't be too active, especially those with military power, you have to keep your tail between your legs.

Once you are too public, you will become the target of public criticism, and even the emperor will dislike you.

This is also the reason why Zhou Mao is willing to retire, and it is also the reason why Duan Rui doesn't like to appear in the public eye.

They are all hereditary and irreplaceable princes. As long as they don't make big mistakes, there will be no disaster for them. Even if they will decline for one or two generations, as long as they cultivate an outstanding son, they can rise at any time.

So for them, the most important thing is not that the scenery is infinite, but that it lasts for generations.

Yang Zhengshan chatted with Duan Rui for a while and felt that the old man's temperament was very similar to Zhou Mao's, and the two old guys had similar personalities.

Returning to the Hou Mansion, Yang Zhengshan first went to see the injured guards, and then distributed silver rewards to the guards.

The guards performed very well this time. Although their limelight was stolen by Yang Zhengshan, this does not mean that they did poorly.

On the contrary, in the battle in Chun Zaitang, they fully demonstrated all the characteristics of elites.

The military has strict discipline, tacit cooperation, bravery and fearlessness, and most importantly, they have strong strength.

Even the warriors from the ninth level the day after tomorrow can only turn into trapped beasts in front of them, which is enough to prove their strength.

If it were replaced by other troops, even the emperor's personal army and the forbidden army, they could only rely on human lives when facing the warriors of the ninth level of the day after tomorrow.

In comparison, they could entangle a ninth-level acquired warrior with only seven or eight people. Such strength was enough to crush the emperor's personal army and the imperial army.

The only drawback is probably that their number is too small, only three hundred people in total.

However, it is impossible for Yang Zhengshan to have too many guards now. Three hundred people is already the maximum limit for his mansion.

If you say more, you will be criticized.

…

The next morning.

Yang Zhengshan had prepared wine and food in the house early. Around the same time, An Yuxing and Lu Baishu came to the Hou Mansion as guests.

An Yuxing still looked unkempt, but the old man still knew how to reciprocate, and actually brought Yang Zhengshan a precious medicine.

"Don't tell me, old man, that I'm taking advantage of you. This drunken fairy grass will be used as wine money!" An Yuxing threw a wooden box directly to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan opened it and saw that there was actually a fresh Drunken Immortal Grass inside.

As the name suggests, drunken jelly grass will make people dizzy and confused as if they were drunk, but when they wake up, they will be more energetic and energetic.

The best way to use ambrosia is to make wine. The wine brewed from ambrosia has the miraculous effect of improving mental strength.

Long-term drinking can even help improve your understanding.

The most important thing is that unlike other medicinal herbs, it takes decades to grow. It is an annual herbal medicine that can germinate, grow, bloom, bear fruit, and wither within one year.

However, Ambrosia has extremely strict requirements on the growing environment and cannot be grown in large quantities.

But what if it is placed in the Lingquan space?

This ambrosia is fresh and has not bloomed yet. It will definitely survive when transplanted in the spiritual spring space.

After it blooms and bears fruit this year, wouldn't Yang Zhengshan have a large amount of Drunken Grass to use next year?

Looking at the Drunken Immortal Grass in his hand, Yang Zhengshan could not hide the excitement on his face.

"Senior, this gift really makes this junior extremely happy!"

"As long as you like it!" An Yuxing was happy to see him, and his mood improved a lot.

Before the two of them finished speaking, Lu Baishu also came. He didn't come empty-handed, he brought a lot of gifts, but his gifts were just ordinary things.

It is basic etiquette to bring some gifts when visiting for the first time, but you will not bring particularly expensive gifts.

An Yuxing is different from ordinary people. If you ask him to find some ordinary gifts, he will probably find it troublesome. Although this Drunken Immortal Grass is a precious medicine, it is not a precious thing in his hands, because he has planted it in a yard in San Valley.

The only thing he could take out was the Drunken Immortal Grass.

When the two guests arrived, Yang Zhengshan first found an excuse to plant the Drunk Immortal Grass in the Lingquan space, and then invited the two to Baicao Pavilion.

This Baicao Pavilion is a side hall in the front yard of the Hou Mansion. It can be used as a tea room or a banquet hall.

"Wu Hai, serve the food and the wine!" Yang Zhengshan waved his hand proudly and said.

"Here!" Wu Hai, who was standing nearby, responded and led the boys to start serving food and wine.

"Senior, Lord Lu, today we not only have good wine, but also good food. Look at this, the lamb on the grassland of the North." Yang Zhengshan said enthusiastically.

Roast whole lamb is Yang Zhengshan’s favorite delicacy!

In Chongshan Town, the most indispensable thing is cattle and sheep.

The Yang family came to Beijing and brought a lot of cattle and sheep, which were raised in Zhuangzi outside the city.

Today, he was going to entertain An Yuxing and Lu Baishu. Yang Zhengshan specially asked his servants to go to Zhuangzi to pick out a small lamb.

As soon as the two waiters brought the roast lamb to the table, the mellow smell filled the pavilion.

An Yuxing shrugged his nose, "Then I won't be polite!"

As he spoke, he tore off a leg of lamb and started chewing it.

"Master Lu, please!" Yang Zhengshan said while pouring wine for the two of them.

"Haha, this smell is really mouth-watering!" Lu Baishu was not polite, took a knife and cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

When the meat was in your mouth, the meat was crispy and the aroma overflowed, making Lu Baishu's eyes light up.

"Yes, yes, this meat is extremely tender and tender. It is truly a rare delicacy!" Lu Baishu praised without hesitation.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said: "That's natural. The cooks in my house are all brought back from Chongshan Town. They are definitely good at roasting sheep!"

With that said, he placed a glass of wine in front of An Yuxing, "Senior, have a try!"
