Chapter 362: Don't talk about fighting Li Chen, just looking at him is scary
Wei Manping came to the Jiang family, naturally with an appointment.
The maid led her through the courtyard shrouded in spiritual mist to an elegant hall.
Imperial Consort Jiang Rong was sitting in front of a rosewood desk, seriously checking the Jiang family's recent account books.
She originally had commercial talent and did these things very efficiently.
"Wei family Manping, pays respects to the Imperial Consort." Wei Manping bowed gracefully, her posture respectful yet elegant.
Jiang Rong raised her eyes, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "Grant a seat."
Wei Manping sat properly to one side, took out a volume of account books from her storage bag, and began to report in detail: "Returning to the Consort, the 'Ice Crystal Spiritual Shrimp' transported from the East Sea last month totaled 1,300 catties. Due to the convenience of railway train transportation, the cost is 50% lower than in previous years..."
Her voice was clear, her logic was clear, and she spoke of ingredient procurement, shop revenue, and future planning in an orderly way.
Occasionally Jiang Rong asked about details, and she could answer fluently; it was clear she had done her homework.
But these were all appearances.
Wei Manping's peripheral vision constantly scanned the surroundings, trying to capture that expectant figure.
Unfortunately, besides a few maids in the hall, there was no one else.
"... It is expected to open three branches in Yinshan City next month. This is the site selection atlas."
She continued to report calmly, while letting the Wei family backbone waiting in the courtyard present an exquisite atlas.
These people included men and women. The men looked serious and earnest, and the women were all beautiful and charming.
In order not to appear too deliberate, they didn't dress up beautifully, but wore ordinary tight-fitting clothes.
Originally, this time it was to discuss development issues with Imperial Consort Jiang. If they dressed too revealingly, the purpose would be obvious.
Wei Manping didn't think Imperial Consort Jiang was dull. If she sensed that her approach was to hook up with His Majesty Li Chen, Jiang Rong's fury wasn't something she could bear.
There was only one chance like this; the next time she wanted to approach His Majesty, it wouldn't be so simple.
Jiang Rong's slender fingers gently flipped through the atlas, and a trace of approval flashed in her beautiful eyes: "With you sisters managing the Wei family, it is indeed flourishing. Even I can't find any faults in this plan."
Hearing this, Wei Manping immediately stood up and bowed: "The Consort's praise is too much. This is all thanks to His Majesty's great fortune and the Consort's care."
Her eyes flowed, and she let the Jiang family backbone offer a jade wine jar, saying: "It is rare for the Consort to visit Shanghe City, so we specially prepared 'Thousand-Year Dragon Bone Brew' to express our gratitude."
As soon as the seal on the jar was opened, a mellow wine fragrance permeated the air, and the sound of dragon chanting faintly echoed.
This wine was actually brewed with true dragon remains combined with nine kinds of spiritual herbs. Ordinary cultivators could increase their cultivation just by smelling it.
Jiang Rong's eyes brightened slightly, and her red lips parted: "You have a heart."
Her fingertips tapped three times on the desk, and she said to the maid beside her: "Go invite His Majesty to come and taste it, and by the way, call Mo'er over too."
As an Imperial Consort, when there were good things, she naturally thought of the emperor.
Wei Manping could naturally come into contact with Li Chen.
Even if she had dissatisfaction with her sister Wei Manying, she had to admire that her sister's plan was still very precise.
At this time, on the martial arts field in the backyard, Li Chen stood with one hand behind his back, the other hand joined into a sword, pointing out a set of sword techniques for Jiang Mo to practice.
The young girl was covered in sweat, her hair sticking to her fair neck, but the long sword in her hand was danced more and more skillfully.
"This style 'Star River Upside Down', sink your wrist another three points."
Before Li Chen's words fell, he suddenly turned his head to look at the corridor, only to see a familiar maid walking over.
A moment later, Li Chen carried Jiang Mo into the hall.
The Wei family crowd hurriedly knelt and kowtowed, their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground.
Wei Manping's heart beat like a drum, but her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of black dragon-patterned boots passing before her eyes.
Just now at the hot pot restaurant, looking at Li Chen from a distance, she felt his momentum was not bad.
Now, she felt even more that the air around her had frozen under this emperor's pressure, forming materialized fear.
Wei Manping was shocked inside; this was the emperor of the Li family of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty.
No wonder so many powerhouses had been defeated by his hands. Wei Manping didn't need to doubt that as long as anyone in the room had evil intentions, even if it was just a movement, they would definitely be shaken to death by this emperor on the spot!
That supreme temperament, that god-like face that stood above the world, all manifested his extraordinariness.
This was Wei Manping's feeling of approaching Li Chen for the first time, and the Wei family crowd behind her felt even more waves in their hearts.
Especially there was a person named Pan Chengwu in the room, a powerhouse at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, who could be counted as marrying into the Wei family.
Such a powerhouse, no matter where he was, as long as the Sage Realm didn't appear, was a big shot, respected by thousands, with a bright future.
Moreover, Pan Chengwu had shown his astonishing cultivation talent since he was small.
The reason he married into the Wei family was because of a woman, a woman who made countless men crazy at the time, named Wei Lu.
Wei Lu was the same as Wei Manying back then, belonging to the existence that could bring disaster to the country and the people.
She was now kneeling beside Pan Chengwu. Even though she had grown some years, what she got in return was a plump figure, and an even more charming and alluring figure.
Wearing a pink top and a black long skirt, it made her already snow-white skin even more flawless, wrapping her slender, round jade legs and convex-concave curves, full of temptation.
With her hair in a bun, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the mature and charming beauty's demeanor was fully displayed.
Wei Lu was known as the Fifth Madam Wei in the Wei family and also had a certain status.
A cultivation powerhouse as strong as Pan Chengwu also boarded the thief ship of the remnants of the previous dynasty for her back then.
However, he didn't regret it at all. Such a beauty returning to his heart made him feel it was worth it.
But ever since Wei Manying proposed the plan to assassinate the emperor, Pan Chengwu had been very opposed to it.
Because this plan required his wife Wei Lu to serve the emperor, through constant grinding with the emperor, to make the emperor fall seriously ill and die suddenly.
Back then, the previous emperor died like this. There was a successful example, and the imperial physician didn't find the cause, so Wei Manying planned to repeat the old trick.
Pan Chengwu had such ability, but he was a proud person. Let his own wife do this kind of thing?
Let alone do it, just thinking about it made him feel his heart was bleeding, as if countless knives were stabbing into his chest.
Back then, Pan Chengwu also spoke wild words, saying what was Li Chen, just kill him when meeting, at worst he would limit one-for-one.
Looking at it now, Pan Chengwu felt that what he said back then was a joke. Limit one-for-one? What to use to exchange?
Don't talk about fighting Li Chen, with Pan Chengwu's cultivation, just looking at Li Chen is scary.
Aiming at his wife kneeling beside him, who had accepted her fate, and his wife's plump body, Pan Chengwu also sighed inside.
This was the destiny of the remnants of the previous dynasty; there was no other way.
Among the female family members of the Wei family, besides Wei Lu and Wei Manping, the ones whose appearance and figure were relatively outstanding were also the Third Miss Wei, Wei Lianhan.
Wei Lianhan had quite high cultivation talent
Perhaps she could cause the Sage Realm Emperor to fall, and she felt quite excited inside!
