Chapter 117: Learning from Marquis Jingping (Three updates today, please subscribe)
Jingping Hou breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly:
[Lord Longcheng, you can speak freely! ]

He cared deeply about his family and would never leave it to fate.

The superiors have their own ideas, and the subordinates will also have their own strategies to deal with them.

When the evil god comes, no one can guarantee that the land will not be devastated and future generations will not suffer heavy casualties. For this, he is willing to bear the price and let Chu Wujiang consume the precious Dragon and Tiger Order.

Anyway, the Chu family will definitely use it when facing the arrival of the evil god, so why not let him take advantage of it.

Chu Wujiang quickly finished thinking and said in a deep voice:

[First, I will go to Taiyi Temple and seek help from the Taoist sect. If necessary, I will use the Dragon and Tiger Order.]

According to Marquis Jingping, you have to use what you should use, otherwise why keep it for giving birth to a baby?
[Second, if Chu used the Dragon Tiger Order, he would ask for some compensation based on the effect.]

[For example, the auspicious items of the Huo and Lu families. ]

Helping each other does not mean working for free.

The Dragon-Tiger Order is more precious than the best weapons. You want the Taoist sect to spend a lot of effort to help you, which is definitely not something that can be measured by money.

It is reasonable to ask for some compensation.

Jingping Hou agreed immediately:
[No problem. Wait, the Huo family?]

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
[Yes, please ask Marquis Jingping to inform the Huo family.]

[The evil god has appeared. If everything goes well, it will be fine. But if anything goes wrong, Longzhou will be violently cleansed. ]

【Longzhou is big enough to accommodate the three of us.】

Marquis Jingping once again looked deeply at Chu Wujiang.

[No problem. I can only feel at ease if I can cooperate with someone like Lord Longcheng.]

Allies and trust need to be built up bit by bit.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

[I feel assured to cooperate with the Marquis. 】

You just need to be careful to avoid getting hurt.

Jingping Hou nodded, as if he had thought of something, and quickly reminded:
[Lord Longcheng, no one other than the Huo family can leak any more information about the evil god.]

[The Imperial Astronomical Bureau has issued a gag order. Once the source is found, we will all be punished by military law.]

Although the Tianming Dynasty was in decline, its control over the local areas was still very strong, and the court controlled extremely powerful military forces.

The nobles do not need to worry about ordinary crimes, but they must never provoke direct subordinates like the Imperial Observatory, especially when the imperial court orders them to cooperate.

Chu Wujiang's heart trembled, and he said quickly:

[Don't worry, Lord. I know the pros and cons and will never leak any information.]

Marquis Jingping nodded and said:

[This mirror is given to Lord Longcheng. You can contact me at any time.]

[Remember, the Sitianjian has extremely powerful divination skills, and you must never reveal the secrets. ]

The mirror gradually dimmed, and the figure of Marquis Jingping no longer appeared.

【etc! 】

Just as Jingping Hou was about to disappear, Chu Wujiang hurriedly called him to stop, which made Jingping Hou a little surprised.

[What else does Lord Longcheng want? 】

Chu Wujiang asked in a deep voice:
[Chu has two questions for you, Lord.]

[First thing, how is Miss Si Li? ]

The seeds of the Ghost King are planted in her body.

Chu Wujiang had been so busy these days that he almost forgot about this matter. Today, he upgraded his [Focus on Everything] and soon remembered this unresolved matter.

Jingping Hou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sad look on his face:
[Lord Longcheng is indeed kind-hearted and cares about his subordinates. ]

[The last time the Ghost King appeared, she prepared two backup plans. One was the formation at the mouth of the gourd, which was broken by Lord Longcheng, and the other was Si Li, the poor child. ] [If Master Beiku hadn't told me that she had a special body that could conceive a spirit, I would not have understood why the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect had planted the Ghost King's seed in her. ]

[It turns out that the ghost king Xia Yu originally wanted to use the pregnant spirit mother body to escape, but fortunately Lord Longcheng discovered it in advance. ]

[The compassionate monk from the Great Compassion Temple took action and saved the fetus, but both the mother and the child were not saved.]

It's no wonder that the mother is pregnant with spirits.

Chu Wujiang suddenly understood. At that time, he couldn't understand why the Ghost King seed was planted in Miss Si Li's body to attack the Chu family. This was too much of a deal.

Now that I think about it, the Wangui Sect had no such conspiracy at all. They were simply attracted by Miss Si Li's special physique.

For aristocratic families, nobles, and even royal families, a mother body that bears souls is a talent comparable to purple or even orange luck.

It is not of much help to personal cultivation, but it is very useful for future generations. The children born often have luck equivalent to the blue level, which means they are geniuses.

The only problem is that this physical condition is difficult to detect, and generally it will only be revealed after a woman becomes pregnant.

Chu Wujiang understood the outcome and felt a little helpless. After all, a merciful army cannot be commanded, so he could only continue to ask:

[Where is Miss Si Li's body buried? ]

Jingping Hou said quickly:
[She is resting on the mountain in the Great Compassion Temple. This Marquis buried her personally, accompanying the ancient Buddha to prevent her from being entangled by ghost spirits and from entering the reincarnation cycle.]

[This Marquis had wanted to inform Lord Longcheng about this a long time ago, but he was so busy these past few days that there were too many people being buried...]

The most common thing in Longcheng these days is funerals. In the battle against the Ghost King alone, many Yuandan realm warriors died, and each of them had a higher status than Si Li.

So Marquis Jingping did not conceal it on purpose, but was just too busy.

Chu Wujiang nodded, indicating that the matter had been explained, and continued to ask:
[The second thing is, where are the people from the Jingping Marquis's Mansion going to be placed? ]

[Does the Chu family need to stay in the same place, assuming we are blessed by the Taoist sect? ]

Jingping Hou pondered and said:

[This Marquis intends to disperse manpower and material resources to two places, or leave Longzhou. ]

[As for the remaining core figures, some of them stayed at Taiyi Temple near Longcheng to observe the changes.]

[After all, we are nobles, and we can arrange for our families to leave, but we must stay.]

[If the Si Tian Jian takes out the tiger talisman, we will also have to fight against the evil god. ]

When Emperor Hao granted fiefs to nobles in various places, it meant that they had to stay in the local area. They were military nobles and had the responsibility to defend the land, so they could not run away.

Chu Wujiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He was indeed Marquis Jingping, and his experience made him very experienced.

He could learn directly, so he said casually:

[Thank you, Lord, for telling me that the Chu family also plans to do this. ]

Marquis Jingping nodded and said:

[Then I will wait for good news from Lord Longcheng. We will meet at Taiyi Temple.]

The figure in the mirror disappeared completely, and the acting of Chu Wujiang and Lu Ce, as well as the content of the gambling they were discussing, were coming to an end.

Chu Wujiang said with a warm smile
"The remaining parts of the gambling game are at the disposal of the young marquis. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

The expression on Lu Ce's face was mixed.

He didn't object to his sister being with Chu Wujiang.

His performance in recent days is enough to prove that Chu Wujiang is Longzhou's top young talent, better than himself, and even stronger than Di Guangzhu.

It might be a good thing for my sister to marry him.

The problem was that Marquis Jingping directly used his sister as a bargaining chip to complete the union of the two families. He couldn't tolerate her as a bargaining chip.

In the end, the young marquis could only sigh:
"My sister has returned from studying at the Biluo Fairy Palace and wants to visit the Longzhou Taoist Temple."

"I wonder if Lord Longcheng is willing to lend a helping hand to me, Lord?"

Chu Wujiang held Lu Ce's hand tightly and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, young marquis. I will definitely get it done."
