Protect Our Patriarch

v5 Chapter 85: A mere little guy

Holland State.

Geographically speaking, Helan State is located in the north-west direction of the entire Cold Moon Continent. The main vein of the famous Helan Mountains runs through one side of its territory, and then extends out countless branches that criss-cross, forming endless mountains and mining areas.

Of course, the territory of Helan State is very vast, and the mining area surrounding the Helan Mountains accounts for at most half of its total jurisdiction. Further north, there is the famous Helan Prairie of the Xian Dynasty and the perennially frozen North Ocean.

Just in the middle of the main vein of the Naheran Mountains, there is a large fertile basin surrounded by mountains, named [Helan Basin].

It has a pleasant climate and rich products, and it is the state capital of Helan State.

There are thousands of big and small families in Helan State, but there are not many areas that are really suitable for large-scale human settlements. However, any family with a little reputation will choose to buy manors and other properties near the capital city.

Especially for some families of the third rank and above, the main house is probably not too far from the state capital.

This has also resulted in the Helan Basin's current economic prosperity and the status quo of many aristocratic families.

At present, there are two first-class families in Helan State, one of which is the [Helan Han's] whose industry is relatively concentrated in the field of minerals.

The main residence of the Helan Han family is located on the north side of the Helan Basin.

As an aristocratic family with a long history and profound heritage, the main residence of the Han family in Helan occupies an entire city, and the surrounding area is surrounded by the Han family's properties, which can almost be regarded as an "independent kingdom".

As the main residence of the capital of this "independent kingdom", its architecture is also full of ancient and heavy flavor.

Even after tens of thousands of years and countless times of renovations, the building complex of the main house still maintains its former style, showing no signs of decay. The spirit gathering array arranged in the main house is also continuously gathering aura, making the concentration of aura in the place where the main house is much higher than other places.

It can be seen that the Helan Han family is now operating well, and the family economy shows no sign of collapse.

Deep in the main house, there is a quiet and aura-filled courtyard named "Cuijin Garden".

The spiritual bamboos in the garden are tall and straight, full of vitality, the spiritual lotus clusters in the pool, and the spiritual fish of various colors are leisurely and content, showing an indescribable leisurely willfulness.

On the lotus pond, there is a square pavilion.

In the gazebo, at this moment, two handsome young men with extraordinary temperament were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea leisurely.

Among them, the one on the left looks slightly more mature.

He was wearing a loose white robe, he had a good manner and a great bearing, but his expression was a bit tired.

This also made him look a little less serious and serious than an ordinary family, and a little more chic.

This person is none other than the most outstanding hero of the Helan Han family today—【Han Langtai】.

Han Langtai has a bold personality and doesn't stick to small details. His favorite thing to do on weekdays is to travel around and make friends who are pleasing to the eye, while those who are not pleasing to the eye are not polite at all.

Such a personality of going his own way caused headaches for the elders in the family who had great hopes for him, and they often talked about it in front of him on weekdays.

However, he himself didn't care at all, and still went his own way.

Now that he has nothing to do, being able to sit and drink tea with his friends in the gazebo is already a joy in the world for him.

As for the young man sitting opposite him, it was his good friend, Jiang Xingyuan.

After Donggan came back, Jiang Xingyuan stayed at home for a short time. After completing the work that Wang Shouzhe asked him to do, he continued to travel around.

In the recent days, he happened to be a guest at Helan Han's.

"Good tea, good tea~ This tea has a profound taste, quiet and tangy, sweet and nourishing to the heart, and when tasted carefully, it actually has the effect of nourishing the original blood." Jiang Xingyuan took a sip from the teacup, and there were endless praises in his mouth, " I never thought that I, Jiang Xingyuan, would be able to drink the Wanzai purple iron sunflower tea from your mansion one day."

The Han family has a town clan spirit tree named "Purple Iron Sunflower Tree". It was planted in a rare purple iron mine. famous.

This tree only blooms once every 300 years, and with Han's secret method, it can be fried into purple iron sunflower tea.

The Han family has always regarded it as a special treasure. Whenever the purple iron sunflower tree blooms, it will select the best batch of scented tea as a tribute to the Immortal Emperor, and the rest will fall into the hands of the famous families of the Immortal Dynasty.

Naturally, it is rarely available outside.

"Oh~"

Seeing his demeanor, Han Langtai chuckled lightly, and said casually: "This 'Purple Iron Sunflower Tea' was originally ordered by my ancestors to give to Princess Jing'an, and I took advantage of you after being greedy for ink."

"puff!"

Jiang Xingyuan took a sip of tea and spewed it out immediately.

He stared wide-eyed, and looked at Han Langtai with disbelief in his eyes: "You, you, you, you dare to be greedy for ink?"

"Why don't you dare?" Han Langtai drank tea calmly, with a relaxed expression, "The old ancestor wants to curry favor with the third princess, that's his business, but I, Han Langtai, don't care about it. How can I be like that kid Wei Qingyun?" The dog of the third princess?"

"You can't say that. Among the several princesses, Princess Jing'an is still quite hopeful to reach the top." Jiang Xingyuan said with a smirk, "That kid Wei Qingyun failed to compete for the Sword Formation Collection, and even made Wei a mess Sao, I am afraid that he will not be predestined to be the head of Princess Jing'an Mansion."

"Brother Langtai, no matter what, he is much better than Wei Qingyun, right? Don't you want to taste the taste of the princess of the fairy family? In the future, if you don't keep everything, you can be a fairy emperor's wife. It's really here At that time, I, Jiang Xingyuan, will be able to develop together with you."

Han Langtai cast a deep contemptuous look at Jiang Xingyuan: "Brother Jiang, I remember that you were originally a high-minded person, why did you become so wretched after visiting Donggan Kingdom? Why don't you represent Hanyue Jiang?" Shi, go to please the third princess?"

"First, I don't have a good relationship with my family. I've only been home for a few days this time, and I'm almost annoyed by those old men." Jiang Xingyuan didn't care, and continued to drink tea leisurely, " Second, in recent years, the royal family has produced a fourth little princess, and her mother clan is the Jiang family of Daliang."

"Although the chances of the fourth little princess of my family reaching the summit are too slim because of her age, she has a close relationship with our family after all. If I dare to curry favor with Princess Jing'an, I will be expelled from the house by the old guys. "

"By comparison, brother Langtai has taken advantage of the right time, place and people. It would be a pity not to find a way to please the third princess."

"Huh~ Wei Qingyun licked it, I don't care about it. Don't bring it up again, let's talk about your travels in Donggan." Han Langtai changed the subject, "Listen to what you said earlier, brother Gongyang competed for Lingyun Canon lose? I don’t understand, although Brother Gongyang comes from a poor family, but his talents are all first-class and strong, there is no reason to lose.”

"Could it be that Brother Gongyang encountered some kind of unfair treatment? If so, I, Han Langtai, certainly can't just sit on the sidelines."

"Come on, Brother Gongyang deservedly lost this time in the battle for the holy son in Donggan Lingyun Holy Land." Jiang Xingyuan's face was complicated, and he couldn't explain it in words.

Seeing this, Han Langtai was a little shocked: "Could it be that there is a great genius who is more powerful than Gongyang Xiandi in the mere Holy Land of Donggan Kingdom?"

"It's not just a great talent..." Jiang Xingyuan's eyes were a little confused, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he had fallen into some kind of past that he didn't want to recall, "Dungan Kingdom is a pit, no, it's a sinkhole ~~”

"..."

Han Langtai was speechless.

What kind of cheating method, you can explain it clearly~

While the two were chatting, in the Helan Mountains, a low-key and luxurious flying chariot slid across the sky, and entered the periphery of the main house of the Helan Han family in a low-key manner.

Han Qixuan, the only Lingxu patriarch of the Han clan, brought two family elders and the current Patriarch to greet him secretly in the back mountain.

Seeing the flying chariot stop and land, Han Qixuan went up to greet him first, and said with a loud smile: "The fourth little princess's visit to the Han family really makes the Helan Han family flourish~~"

"Zhenjun Qixuan is so polite~ Mengyu is really flattered to be greeted by the real monarch today." Yu Mengyu stepped down from the chariot and returned a gift to Han Qixuan.

Even though she is only eleven years old, she already has a bit of noble air of a fairy princess. She has a serious expression on her small face, and there is a graceful and graceful fairy air in every gesture and gesture.

And following behind her was a beautiful woman with fair skin and a cool demeanor, like a flower of a high mountain.

As soon as this beautiful woman appeared, Han Qixuan was startled, and his expression turned serious.

"Mr. Han didn't know that Jade Spirit Lord was coming, so he was far away from welcoming him. It's a sin." He hastily raised his hand to salute.

[True Monarch] is the title conferred by the Immortal Emperor.

Only those who have reached the Lingxu Realm in strength and made enough meritorious deeds on the battlefield can be granted the Immortal Emperor's seal.

Generally speaking, the prefix of the title will be chosen according to the characteristics of its skills, or its own name.

In most cases, Lingxu Realm powerhouses will have their own titles. After all, Lingxu Realm powerhouses have a long lifespan, and they will always be recruited to the battlefield.

The stronger the aristocratic family, the more resources it can gather, and the stronger its strength will naturally be. At this level, it is natural to bear the burden of the survival of the human race, and it is impossible to escape.

With great power comes great responsibility.

This is the common cognition of all races, and it is also a concept that has always been followed.

After all, without the struggle and dedication of the seniors on the battlefield, so that the world can still maintain basic peace under the threat of foreign monsters, the monks of the younger generation will not have the opportunity to grow up calmly.

However, outstanding juniors of the human race will generally be asked to postpone going to the battlefield.

If a great Tianjiao wants to go to the battlefield in the realm of heaven and man, the seniors and elders will stop him. And a peerless celestial arrogance in the purple mansion, it is often difficult to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Of course, if I try my best, I can still go to the battlefield in a low-key way to see and learn, sharpen my skills, but the commander will never give him an overly dangerous task.

However, the great Tianjiao will inevitably go to the battlefield when he reaches the Purple Mansion Realm. And Peerless in the Supernatural Realm, he must also go to the battlefield to hone. This is also the only way for them to reach a higher level.

Gossip aside.

Next, it was naturally a process of polite greetings.

Soon, the fourth princess, Yu Mengyu, was invited into the high pavilion in the Han family's main residence, which was specially used to welcome distinguished guests, and received high-standard receptions according to the etiquette for welcoming princesses.

Soon, Han Langtai, who was chatting with Jiang Xingyuan in his garden, was also "captured" by Han Qixuan's men, and had dinner with the four little princesses.

As soon as Jiang Xingyuan heard that it was the fourth little princess who came, of course he followed him for dinner.

Although Jiang Xingyuan knew that the fourth little princess Yu Mengyu had a close relationship with his family, she was only eleven years old after all, and he was still floating in Donggan Kingdom when she was born, and the time Yu Mengyu visited Donggan Kingdom was relatively low-key. Well, he happened to be playing with Gongyang Ce in Lingyun Holy Land at that time, and the two of them didn't meet each other.

Therefore, this is the first time the two have met.

"I've seen the Fourth Princess, I've seen True Monarch Yuling." Han Langtai and Jiang Xingyuan raised their hands respectfully as soon as they entered the door.

No matter how conceited they were, they did not dare to take Joe in front of the Fourth Princess and True Monarch Yuling.

Especially Jiang Xingyuan, his face changed when he saw Zhenjun Yuling.

Jiang Xingyuan is a child of the Hanyue Jiang family. He had some conflicts with his family at the beginning, so he joined the Immortal Palace in a fit of anger. Although Zhenjun Yuling was born in the Jiang family of Great Liang, he has been under the care of the Jiang family of Hanyue for a long time, and the relationship between the two parties is naturally relatively harmonious.

Naturally, Jiang Xingyuan became Zhenjun Yuling's "focused care object", and he would be called over every now and then for advice.

As a result, Jiang Xingyuan lived in the fairy palace and was beaten for three days and a small one, and he beaten for five days.

"Hey, isn't this Xingyuan?" Zhenjun Yuling glanced at Jiang Xingyuan out of the corner of his eye, with a half-smile on his face, "I heard that you have gone out for a trip? This time travel time is really long enough, Donggan Kingdom is fun Is it?"

"Okay, fun."

Jiang Xingyuan faced Zhenjun Yuling, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, shivering, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

"Very well, then you can stay with me during this period of time~ I haven't given you advice for quite a while." True Lord Yuling said Shi Shiran, "You have been traveling for decades, you must be quite enlightened and enlightened. accumulation."

"Yes, Patriarch Yuling."

Jiang Xingyuan drooped his head, not daring to utter a single word of disapproval, but there was a miserable cry in his heart.

My life, Jiang Xingyuan, is really miserable~ He just wanted to meet the fourth little princess who had never met before, who would have thought that True Monarch Yuling would be there? This is really taking the initiative to fall into the tiger's mouth~~

After some eating and drinking entertainment.

The idlers and others all retreated.

The patriarch of the Han family, Han Qixuan, naturally took out the purple iron sunflower tea to entertain the distinguished guests, and even packed two extra packs to give away, one for the fourth princess and one for Zhenjun Yuling.

After three cups of tea.

Only then did Han Qixuan tentatively get to the point: "Four princesses and True Lord Yuling came to my Han family, could it be that there is something important? As long as my Han family can do it, it will be fine."

Zhenjun Yuling continued to drink his tea without saying a word.

Seeing this, Han Qixuan immediately understood what was going on, and turned to look at Yu Mengyu.

Yu Mengyu pondered for a while, and then said: "To be honest, Mengyu did have something important to ask for when he came here this time. Does Master Qixuan know that the conflict between Daliang and Demon Yan Kingdom has become more and more intense in recent years?"

"I've heard a little bit about this." Han Qixuan nodded with a serious face, "Moyan Kingdom and Daliang are evenly matched in overall strength, and the fight was very fierce, but neither the Xian Dynasty nor the Demon Dynasty can take the initiative to increase troops. Otherwise, it is very likely to cause a new round of war between immortals and demons."

"That's right. Now the war in the outer battlefield is becoming more and more tense. The ancestor of the immortal emperor and the demon emperor have reached a tacit agreement invisibly, and neither of them wants to provoke a war between immortals and demons at this juncture." Yu Mengyu's face was a little heavy, "But I My mother was born as Princess Daliang, because of this matter, her old man tossed and turned all day long, worrying endlessly. As a woman, Meng Yu has to share her mother's worries."

"Mengyu heard from her mother that after so many years of war in Daliang, the resource consumption is quite large, and the black iron ore in stock is already stretched, but the Moyan country is actually similar. If there is a large amount of black iron ore to support at this time, It will be quite beneficial to the situation on the battlefield, and it is even possible to gain an advantage in the war with the Moyan Kingdom based on this."

Dark iron ore?

Han Qixuan's heart tightened slightly, and then he showed a wry smile and said: "Fourth princess, you don't know, although our Han family still has some black iron ingots, but the amount is not much, just as a spare. Even if the old man wants to help, he is still powerless. lazy."

"Old Han, don't say those silly things in front of the princess." Zhenjun Yuling slowly raised his head, and said with a half smile, "I have some things to say, I don't want to say too much, I'm afraid of hurting you." each other's faces."

"True Lord Yuling, I..."

Han Qixuan's face changed slightly, and he immediately wanted to say something.

However, he had just spoken half a sentence, but was interrupted by Yu Mengyu raising his hand.

"True Monarch, it's normal for families to seek profit, and we don't mean to criticize you. Since we came today, we naturally know some inside stories, so don't fool me with those stereotypes. Let's be more honest, so that the conversation can continue. "

"Fourth princess, True Monarch Yuling." Han Langtai frowned slightly, and said in support of his ancestor, "Our Han family does have some spare black iron ingots, but it's just in case, it's not us The Han family is hoarding. Could it be that you are planning to rely on the power and force of the princess to **** my Han family's black iron stock?"

Han Langtai didn't even want to kneel and lick the third princess who was very popular for climbing to the top, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of the fourth princess who hadn't yet matured, so his tone was quite rigid.

"Brother Langtai is worrying too much." Yu Mengyu had already planned countermeasures before she came, so she was not surprised to see him say that, and said calmly, "We neither buy nor intend to grab Han's black iron ingots. .We are ready to borrow!"

"borrow?"

Han Langtai and Han Qixuan looked at each other.

Have the four princesses lost their minds?

Their Han family doesn't even want to sell it, let alone borrow it? Now that the price of black iron ingots is rising steadily, the future price and market are quite promising... Selling the black iron ingots at this time will be a loss no matter what.

The treacherous and cunning Han Qixuan rolled his eyes and was about to decline politely, but Yu Mengyu raised ten fingers and said, "For three years, I will borrow ten and pay back thirteen!"

Han Qixuan froze for a moment, and looked at Yu Mengyu with some uncertainty: "Fourth princess, what do you mean...?"

"It's very simple. We need to borrow enough black iron ingots to make 100,000 sets of black armor. Three years later, I will supply you with black iron ingots for 130,000 sets of black armor." Yu Mengyu explained sternly.

"Is this statement true?"

Han Qixuan stood up all of a sudden, his eyes burst into light.

Over the years, the Han family and the Wei family have been hoarding black iron ore in secret, and have joined forces to hype the price of black iron ingots. Because both of them have quite a lot of black iron ore veins in their hands, and they account for a very large proportion of the black iron ore output in the entire Xian Dynasty, so the two have always cooperated very smoothly.

This time, the target hype price set by the two is 800 immortal crystals per set. And it must be sold in a unified manner, and no one is allowed to sell it privately.

Based on this price, one hundred thousand sets would equal eighty million immortal crystals!

This is almost all of Han's inventory, and hundreds of years of hard work have been accumulated thanks to this wave of profit.

However, according to Meng Yu's proposal, 130,000 sets of black iron ingots can be repaid in three years. Calculated at 800 per set, an additional 24 million immortal crystals can be obtained! This is not counting the price increase of black iron ingots in the past three years.

How much is this?

This is equivalent to half an ordinary Dao weapon! If it is replaced by a magical treasure, you can buy at least five pieces!

Even if it is a first-class family, it will take a long time to accumulate such a huge fortune.

I have to say that Yu Mengyu's proposal is really very attractive.

For a moment, Han Qixuan's breathing became a little rough.

"What if the fourth princess can't gather so many black iron ingots?" Han Langtai asked with a frown, but he was not dazzled by the benefits.

"Then we will compensate the Han family according to the highest market price of black iron ingots at that time, make up for as much as there is shortage, and guarantee that the unit price will not be lower than 800 immortal crystals." Yu Mengyu quickly reported the data, "That is to say After three years, the worst result for the Han family is to get 104 million immortal crystals in compensation. Of course, we will give priority to covering positions with black iron ingots."

It was only at this time that Zhenjun Yuling put down the teacup that he had been holding in his hand all the time, and said calmly: "I, Yuling and the Northern Region Palace can guarantee this matter."

Although she is very calm on the surface, she is full of emotions in her heart.

The plan made by the two eleven-year-old kids is too terrible, and it can easily cost hundreds of millions of immortal crystals. Pity her, Jiang Yuling, she has never seen such a huge amount of money in her life~~

"Okay, okay~~ Since Zhenjun Yuling and the Northern Territory Palace guarantee it, I can borrow it with confidence. I will also do something for the Human Race Alliance."

Hearing this, why is Han Qixuan still worried?

He immediately responded with a smile.

However, he was not completely dazzled by the benefits, and then he coughed lightly, and said seriously: "However, Han still has two requests regarding this matter."

"First, this matter must be kept secret. Everyone at the scene must swear a poisonous oath and not reveal any news to the outside world. Second, all terms and conditions must be clearly written in black and white, and written documents must be established. Before you go up, Han can talk to the Immortal Venerable and the Immortal Emperor."

Only in this way can he dare to lend out the inventory with confidence.

"It's natural. Keeping secret is the most important thing. After all, we don't want the Mochao to know about it, so as not to become the trigger for the next round of war between immortals and demons." Yu Mengyu also had a small face with a serious expression.

But~lightnovelpub.net~Don't look at her calm expression at the moment, she seems to be very calm, but her heart is already happy, she is so excited that she almost jumps up, she has to keep her face tight, To avoid laughing on the spot.

Rich is right. Money touches people's hearts, greed is the original sin~

As long as the benefits are huge enough, even outrageous things can become reality.

Of course, Yu Mengyu didn't intend to make fun of her reputation as a princess. Three years later, she will definitely return all the black iron ingots that should be given to the Han family.

As for the process in between, and whether Han's intestines will turn green with regret, she can't control it. After all, she fulfilled everything written in black and white in the contract.

By the way, how do you say Fugui?

Borrowing short.

Yes, it is "borrowing money to sell short".
