How did I become king

Lu Gan snorted coldly, showing such an expression.

He originally wanted to eat the big dogs like the family, but he didn't expect that they would come so soon...Huh?

Suddenly, Lu Gan's expression froze and he frowned.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Seeing Lu Gan's strange expression, Ruoshui couldn't help asking softly.

Lu Gan looked cold, and murmured: "I seem to be self-defeating..."

As soon as these words came out, Ruoshui and Sun Heiqi were taken aback.

Lu Gan's face darkened, without explanation, he waved his hands and said, "You guys step back first, let me think about it. As for the three great families, I will reply to them tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Although Ruoshui and Sun Hei had doubts in their hearts, they still bowed their hands and left here.

Lu Gan looked at the cold night outside the hall, with the whistling wind and snow, his brows were furrowed.

There are 360 ​​lines in the entire county city, and all the lines are inextricably linked with the family.

As soon as the guidebook came out, the money was made, but in the end the big money was eaten by the aristocratic family.Invisibly, that guidebook became a tool for the family to make money.

"It's really self-defeating! This time I'm really a fan of the authorities!"

Lu Gan narrowed his eyes slightly, and quietly uttered a word.

The overall situation has been settled, this matter is a bit difficult to deal with!

After pondering for a long time, Lu Gan still frowned, and subconsciously wanted to consult with Xing Laodao and the left seat, but when he turned his head and thought, they were also in the game, so they had to find an outsider, a wise man who was clear on the sidelines, to discuss and ask for advice.

After thinking about it, a figure came to mind.

Lu Gan no longer hesitated, first went to the kitchen to inquire, and then went straight to the warehouse with a jar of fine wine and a food box.

Before he could knock on the door, a leisurely voice came: "Master Lu, please come in."

Then, with a bang, the warehouse door opened.

Lu Gan nodded slightly, walked quickly like an arrow, and went straight into the account room deep in the warehouse.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old scholar with a hunched and thin body, his white hair scattered on his shoulders, sitting quietly reading a book.

On his left is a stack of books stacked high, and on his right a copper lamp is burning, bursting out a flower.

"Senior, I brought you your favorite fried rice and peach blossom drunk."

Lu Gan stepped forward and gently put the food box and wine jar on the table.

Inadvertently, he saw the cover of the stack of books, and was taken aback. It turned out to be many serial novels published by Ruoshui Bookstore.

The top one is "The Story of the Stone".

"Lord Lu has a heart, the old man is just a warehouseman now, you don't have to be polite, Master Lu."

The old man raised his head, with a calm expression, and said something leisurely.

The strange thing is that the book is full of wrinkles on the face, and the eyes are only the whites of the eyes, without the pupils and eyeballs, making it look a bit irritating.

Lu Gan was not afraid, and his expression was still calm, with a hint of respect: "The younger generation does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so when I come here this time, I ask the senior to give me some advice. Naturally, I should be more polite."

After all, he took out the fried rice from the food box, and the jade cup and wine cup, and filled them up one by one.

"You're welcome, old man."

Old Shu smelled the aroma of rice, nodded slightly, put the book he was reading in half, and ate directly.

He ate slowly and leisurely, taking every bite, as if he was enjoying this plate of delicious fried rice.

Lu Gan found a chair and sat opposite the old man, drinking wine slowly, waiting quietly for the old man to finish his meal.

Suddenly, Shu Lao raised his head and asked: "What is added to this meal, why does the old man feel like crying after eating?"

"It's Mingyun Grass."

Lu Gan chuckled and said, "Mingyun Grass from Xuanhuangzong Xuanhuang Mountain. The chef from Bazuilou made it specially for you after knowing your identity."

Hearing this, the old scholar smiled: "It turns out that he is also a caring person. Unfortunately, if he hadn't been too obsessed with cooking, he should have broken through the outer scene of the law."

After finishing speaking, he ate the remaining fried rice, picked up the jade cup, and suddenly raised his head to drink it all in one gulp, with an extremely emotional expression.

After a long time, the old scholar sighed: "Peach Blossom Drunk also added Mingyun Grass, which really brought back many memories of the old man. Unfortunately, things are different. Those who accompanied the drunken people on Xuanhuang Mountain back then, all of them have lost their minds. Gone."

When Lu Gan heard this sentence, he felt a trace of sadness and sadness in the words.

In the air, a kind of loneliness that has been brewing for a hundred years permeates, which makes people feel a little sad.

But soon, the old man put down his jade cup, looked straight, and said leisurely: "The old man is just a warehouseman, but he has lived for some days and read some books. Ugly and ugly. Please tell me, Mr. Lu."

Lu Gan cupped his hands and got straight to the point: "The younger generation got a guidebook and wanted to make some money, but suddenly found that it seemed to be a wedding dress for a family. Now I can't enter and I can't retreat. It's self-defeating, please Seniors give me some pointers!"

After finishing speaking, he filled the old book with wine.

Shu Lao twirled the jade cup, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Master Lu, do you know how old Da Yue is and how old Da You is?"

"Dayue, Qianqian dynasty? 600 years. Dayou, 800 years."

Lu Gan frowned and replied solemnly.

The old scholar asked again: "If the suzerain doesn't become a martial sage and doesn't rebel, how many years do Lord Lu think Dayou can live?"

The suzerain here obviously refers to the suzerain of the Xuanhuang sect, the current emperor, Zhao Xuanji.

"Year 1000?"

Lu Gan thought for a while and guessed a number.

"No, it's still 800 years of life." Shu Lao shook his head.

Lu Gan suddenly showed doubts.

At the end of the Great Darkness period, although the imperial court was in a state of corruption, at least there were the Shenlin Army and the four elders who protected the country to suppress it. Xuanhuangzong should not be able to survive for 200 years if he did not come out of the Martial Saint.

Why is it still 800 years?

At this time, the old book narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice sank: "800 years ago, at the end of the Great Vietnam, there were two major disasters. One was the Daluo Temple. There were millions of monks in the Daluo Temple back then. The ancient temples are stretching into mountains, like a Buddhist kingdom. In order to destroy the Daluo Temple, the Empress Dowager of Dayue had his muscles and bones broken, but in the end he failed, and both sides suffered. This battle also fattened up the second biggest hidden danger."

"Family?"

Lu Gan blurted out.

Shu Lao nodded: "Yes. The family attached to Dayue, attacked the Daluo Temple, and plundered a lot of treasures, martial arts, and land. So far, the Daluo Temple has weakened, and the family has risen. From then on, it began to lie on the Dayue Dynasty Suck blood until Dayue dies. When Dayue dies, Dayou establishes the country, and the family continues to suck blood, and finally takes shape. Because of this, Dayou can only live for 800 years. If Xuan Huangzong does not rebel, the family will rebel."

Lu Gan's expression froze, he wanted to understand the joint thoroughly.

If a dynasty is compared to a person, each family is like leeches everywhere on a person.

At first, the leeches were small and did not suck much blood, and people could continue to grow taller. However, when the leeches were fully grown and another baby continued to suck blood like crazy, the baby would die of nutritional depletion before it grew up.

Because the size of a dynasty is there, the population of the land is so large, and the nutrition provided is only so much, all of which are sucked away by the family, and the dynasty will naturally perish early.

However, Heng Qiang, the strong man of the aristocratic family, still stands tall.

This is the family of iron, the dynasty of flowing water.

"Mr. Lu, the guidebook you created has good intentions, but it also allows resources to be concentrated more quickly and be seized and plundered by the family. Soon, your method will spread, and the families of all states will follow suit and plunder Daxuan 72 The state’s silver. The aristocratic family won the silver, but they will not spit it out, and Daxuan’s treasury will become increasingly empty. If there is no suzerain, the Martial Saint, to suppress, Daxuan may only have 500 years of life.”

At this moment, Shu Lao took a drink and said calmly.

Lu Gan continued to fill the wine for the old man, showing a trace of shame on his face: "This junior is reckless!"

Shu Lao shook his head and smiled: "You are only 19 years old, and it is your first time to be a fourth-rank official. It is normal to make mistakes. Except for gods, no one can avoid making mistakes."

Lu Gan nodded.

He used to manage more than 1 pigs at most, but now he is the head of the fourth rank, and he manages more than 28 million people in 3000 counties in one county. It is inevitable that he has not thought carefully.

"So senior, what should I do now?"

Lu Gan cupped his hands slightly, and humbly asked for advice.

"The five great aristocratic families in Qingzhou have stood for thousands of years, and they have long been intertwined. You alone cannot defeat them."

Shulao put down his wine glass, and leisurely spit out a sentence: "So... if you can't beat it, just join."

Ok?

Hearing this, Lu Gan tilted his head and was stunned on the spot.

Chapter 209 Physical Transcendence

Join if you can't beat it?

Isn't this collusion?

Lu Gan sat on the chair, frowning tightly, showing doubts on his face.

"The five great families in Qingzhou, except for the Fang family who is supported by whoever is the emperor, the rest of the Liu family, Cao family, Yuan family, and Han family control the lifeline of Qingzhou."

At this time, the old scholar said indifferently: "The Cao family helps the other three companies to transport goods and merchants, the Liu family helps the other three companies refine weapons and medicines, the Han family's silkworm farm, and the silk and satin factory have shares in the other three companies, and the Yuan family is even more powerful. They specialize in salt, iron and grain. The Cao, Liu, and Han families rely on it. Such a huge strength, like a towering tree, and you alone, like a mayfly, how can you shake it?"

"..."

Lu Gan looked serious, but he didn't expect the family's entanglement to be so deep.

No wonder Li Feng couldn't figure it out either!

"If your strength is strong enough, you can crush it majestically. If you are not strong enough, you will naturally score and divide the enemy, and then use your strength to defeat them one by one."

The old book made it clear.

Lu Gan's eyes brightened, and he felt a burst of light in his heart, turning the clouds to see the sun!

"That is to say, if the Yuan family showed their favor, I should continue, and if the aristocratic family wins over, I will follow suit! Then... where is the opportunity to divide them?"

He murmured, his mind spinning rapidly.

"It's the county test!"

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Lu Gan's mind: "Martial arts held every three years, if we take advantage of this opportunity, we will naturally be able to divide the four major families and isolate the Yuan family!"

"That's right, it's the county test. It depends on whether you are skilled or not."

There was a gratified smile on Shu Lao's face: "In addition, you seem to have stepped into a wrong path in martial arts."

"Oh? I also ask the seniors to give me some pointers!"

Lu Gan looked serious, and quickly bowed his hands.

"Your thoughts are too complicated, and you want too much."

The old scholar took a deep look at Lu Gan, and said solemnly: "Martial arts are all in one heart. The purer a person is, the faster he progresses in martial arts. You are young, possess magical skills, hold great power, want money, want to You want power, you want beauties, you want magical soldiers, you want fame... You are too greedy, you want everything. You want to achieve it all in one step, and you have all the benefits alone. How can there be such a thing in the world? Good thing."

"..."

Lu Gan frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Is he wanting too much?

Not much, just an official uniform, three or two beauties, invincible everywhere, five thousand acres of land, and a few million gold.

At this time, the old man said again: "Although I don't know how you cultivated, I can tell at a glance that you don't have any kind of precipitation on your body."

"Dare to ask senior, what is the precipitation?"

Lu Gan asked solemnly.

"It's the bottleneck."

Shu Lao said a surprising sentence: "For those who practice martial arts, encountering bottlenecks is a bad thing, and it is also a good thing. Bottlenecks can temper a person's martial arts will and strengthen one's heart. During the bottleneck period, people are like knives. Sharper, more tenacious. The suzerain was stuck in the location of Faxiang for 200 years before he was promoted to Martial Saint. The old man can see that you have not encountered a bottleneck. This is unreasonable. The only explanation is that you have used foreign objects. "

"..."

Lu Gan's heart skipped a beat.

This is indeed the case, the system is omnipotent, once the cultivation encounters a bottleneck, it can be skipped directly with chivalry value, it should be regarded as the strongest foreign object.

"According to my humble opinion, the next time Mr. Lu encounters a bottleneck, why not try to break through it by yourself?"

After the old man finished speaking, he cupped his hands: "Lord Lu, that's all I've said. I still need to read the book later. Please come back, Master Lu."

"Thank you senior for your guidance! The younger generation has benefited a lot and can't use it endlessly!"

Lu Gan got up and bowed deeply with great sincerity.
