The gods had all gone to kill dragons, and they all had dragon meat to eat. Little Whale was working hard on his novel, but he only had one chapter today. Tomorrow, he would have two chapters a day!

Three days later
Inner Courtyard of Marquis Wuyang Mansion
Zhou Bao stood in the yard, pacing back and forth anxiously. Behind him was his father, Old Zhou. Just like him, he also looked anxious. In addition to these two people, there were some other people in the yard. They were all close relatives of the Zhou family. Today was the day of Yan Yunfei's delivery. Naturally, the family did not dare to be negligent. Everyone who could come came and accompanied Zhou Bao anxiously.
All of a sudden, an exclamation came from outside the courtyard, startling Zhou Bao. Then, he saw Jiang Xiao rushing into the courtyard with a letter in his hand. His expression changed and he walked out of the inner courtyard with a trace of displeasure on his face.
He was rushing towards Jiang Xiao, who had been running towards the Inner Courtyard.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Excellency, something has happened to Zhou Hai!" Seeing Zhou Bao, Jiang Xiao hurriedly said. At the same time, he passed the letter to Zhou Bao.
… …
… …
The fourth year of Yongping of the Jin Dynasty
While the whole world was in a state of panic, the Wuyang Region, which had obtained the northwest of the Jin Dynasty, was in a state of complete joy. That was because the Lord of the Wuyang Region, Marquis Wuyang Zhou Bao, had given birth to twins of a boy and a girl.
This result made Zhou Bao, who was about to fall into a violent rage, calm down. Not only did he calm down, but he also seemed to have matured overnight after having a son and a daughter. He also became more thoughtful.
In the next ten days or so, Yin Liao accompanied Yan Yunfei in the Inner Courtyard and teased the pair of babies. When he had nothing to do, he would even chat with Old Zhou and his wife. He seemed like a loving father and a filial son, which made Jiang Xiao extremely anxious.
"Milord, are we just going to let this matter rest like this? That South Mountains Qin Family is really bold. Not only did they collude with Kunlun Mountain and Palace of Destruction Demon, they even wanted to harm Old Master and the others. They even killed Zhou Hai. This …!"
"I understand what you mean. Of course, we can't just let this matter go, but there's no hurry!"
On this day, Zhou Bao finally walked out of the Inner Yard and met Jiang Xiao, who looked anxious. Then, they had the above conversation.
"But …! “
"Alright, you don't have to say anymore. I've already asked my father and the others to settle down in the Wuyang Region. They won't have to run back and forth like before, so you don't have to worry about anyone harming them. Who would dare to come to the Wuyang Region and cause trouble for them? As for Kunlun Mountain and the Palace of Destruction Demon, they're just a centipede. At this point, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Xiao. "Jiang Xiao, you've been with me for many years. It's been hard on you all these years!"
"Don't mention it, Your Excellency. It's Jiang Xiao's honor to be able to serve Your Excellency. Besides, without Your Excellency's support, I wouldn't have the status I have today. Everything I have is given by Your Excellency. I dare not say that it's been hard on me!"
Jiang Xiao was speaking the truth. Originally, he was just a small leader of the Navy of Jiang City. How could he be as glorious as he was now? Under Zhou Bao's command, he almost held the position of a seneschal. It could be said that he was second only to Zhou Bao, one of ten thousand people. Moreover, the Wuyang Region was becoming more and more prosperous, and it could be said that he had made great contributions to it. Seeing an originally barren territory become a rich place gave him a sense of accomplishment. Therefore, when he heard Zhou Bao's slightly strange words, he couldn't help but panic.
Could it be that there was something in the letter that he couldn't see, so that Your Excellency had to arrange a way out for him? Or did Your Excellency provoke someone that he couldn't afford to provoke again, so that he had to find a way out for himself?
"Don't think so much. I just saw that your cultivation seemed to have stagnated at the peak of Level Six, so I just said it casually!" Seeing Jiang Xiao's worried face, Zhou Bao also knew that his words might have caused a misunderstanding in this vigilant subordinate.
Jiang Lan's expression changed, as if she had realized something. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and said.
"This is a bottle of Bone-Forging Pills and a bottle of Pulse-Setting Pills. After you go back, make arrangements for your subordinates, and then do closed-door training. These two bottles of elixirs are enough for him to break through the bottleneck and step into the Level Seven Expert Realm!"
"Thank, thank you, Your Excellency!" Jiang Xiao said excitedly. He already knew that Zhou Bao had elixirs that could help people break through. However, Zhou Bao had always given priority to Zhu Ba, and Zhu Ba himself had a stronger talent for martial arts than them, so they didn't say anything. After all, in their minds, such elixirs must be very precious and rare. It was already difficult to supply it to one person. It was normal that they couldn't get it because their aptitude was not good enough. Of course, only Jiang Xiao, a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat, would think like this. If it were someone else, he wouldn't know how much resentment he would feel.
"Don't worry about taking the elixirs. In addition, here are a few bottles of elixirs. Give them to Wang Cheng. All of you put down your tasks and practice peacefully. The most fundamental thing is to improve your strength as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Jiang Xiao took the bottle of elixirs again. His expression had already returned to normal and became respectful. Although Zhou Bao wasn't preparing a way out, suddenly taking out such precious elixirs was really beyond his expectations. Obviously, this Excellency had already made up his mind. Then, all he had to do was to follow his orders.
After sending Jiang Xiao off, Zhou Bao dismissed everyone and sat quietly on a chair in the hall. His eyes flashed and his face gradually became gloomy.
"Who on earth did this? White Tiger or Zhi IX! " He thought to himself, "Do they think they can tie my hands and feet with such a clumsy method?" Zhou Bao sneered in his heart. "But, they are smart enough to see through my weakness. Hehe!"
… …
… …
"The key to this plan is not to involve Kunlun Mountain and the Palace of Destruction Demon, nor is it to make enemies for Zhou Bao. The main purpose is to tie Zhou Bao's hands and feet!"
At this moment, in a secret basement in the Western Capital, a white-clothed man dressed like a scholar took a sip of tea and said in a leisurely manner.
"Tie his hands and feet? Why? If we can persuade Zhou Bao to help us, with his strength, White Tiger shouldn't be a threat. After all, Zhou Bao has the ability to kill a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm! " A year ago, he was still the first sage in history. However, after experiencing two sudden blows in succession, this so-called sage was almost described as a fatuous ruler by those millennium families. His power shrank rapidly. Now, his orders could not go out of the Western Capital, not even the Imperial City. If he did not have the cultivation of the Expert Realm, he might have been forcibly usurped by others. But now, his situation was not much better than being forcibly usurped. Yan Yuntian, the emperor of the Jin, spoke this time. He looked a little embarrassed and looked much older than when Zhou Bao had seen him a year ago. He was no longer as high-spirited and vigorous as before. A year ago, he was still the number one sage in history. However, after experiencing two sudden blows in succession, this so-called sage was almost described as a fatuous ruler by those millennium families. His power rapidly shrank. Now, his orders could not go out of Western Capital, even the imperial city.
In an instant, he went from being the Emperor of the Nine Five to Wei's current unlucky state. No one would be able to adjust their state of mind, let alone a person with lofty aspirations like him.
Therefore, of course, he wanted to salvage this unfavorable situation. As he thought about it, he thought of Zhou Bao. That was why he sent a letter to his pregnant daughter. At the same time, he thought of other ways to win Zhou Bao over. However, he didn't expect that his letter would have no effect. Instead, his backer suddenly made such a scene. He secretly used tricks to intimidate the Qin Family of South Mountains and made them contact Kunlun Mountain and the Palace of Destruction Demon to fight against Zhou Bao together. At this time, he realized that the Qin Family of South Mountains, one of the nine well-known families in the world, was actually a spy of the Divine Wind Palace.
This made him extremely dissatisfied. This time, among the nine well-known families, the Qin Family of South Mountains was the one who made the most trouble. In addition, what Zhi IX asked the Qin Family to do was obviously to offend Zhou Bao. He couldn't understand it no matter how hard he thought about it. That was why he questioned him.
After hearing Yan Yuntian's words, the man didn't get angry. He just smiled and said, "After all, Zhou Bao is from the Tian Long Taoism and has a close relationship with Wang She of the Tian Long Taoism. As far as I know, before Zhou Bao's cultivation reached a certain level, Wang She had been sheltering him. Now that his cultivation has reached a certain level and he has occupied the northwest region, the Tian Long Taoism has even sent Wang She and his subordinates over to establish a place similar to a branch in the northwest region. God knows how deep his relationship with the Tian Long Taoism is. Do you really expect him to help us deal with the Tian Long Taoism and those well-known families?
"If that's the case, why did that person provoke him?"
"I, Zhi IX, have my reasons for provoking him!" But Zhou Bao is different. His cultivation is only at Level Nine and he's not listed as an Immortal, so the Golden Book of Fate doesn't restrict him. Moreover, his combat capability is too terrifying. If he really falls to the other side, we won't even have a chance to fight back. So we have to think of a way to tie his hands and feet so that he can't be at ease. Only in this way, we won't have any worries! "
"Won't have any worries, so you came up with such a clumsy method?"
"Clumsy?" Zhi IX smiled slightly. "Even if it's clumsy, it's very effective. At least before this conflict with the four biggest sects ends, Zhou Bao won't intervene!"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Of course. Zhou Bao's strength is extremely strong, but at the same time, his weakness is quite obvious!"
