"The lives of the people in the Luotian Imperial Capital are still too comfortable and too good. At this moment, they have not realized how powerful the Witch God Clan is."
"Perhaps, the Luotian Empire deliberately suppressed the news about the Witch God Clan in order to stabilize people's hearts and prevent civil strife."
"However, how can we make them realize that this war is actually about everyone's destiny in a comfortable environment."
"Everyone in the world is selfish. When their own life and safety are not threatened, and when they do not realize that their destiny is actually one with the country, it is impossible to truly share the same hatred and hatred."
Thinking of this, Xiang Chen couldn't help but have some evil thoughts in his heart.
But as soon as the idea emerged, he killed it.
"Let's try lobbying first." Xiang Chen planned to visit the major families in the imperial capital to see if he could raise resources through lobbying.
"Zhao Yi!"
"Young Sect Master." Zhao Yi quickly came to Xiang Chen's side.
"You can prepare a copy of the information on the major families in the imperial capital for me. I will see it within two days." Xiang Chen said.
"Okay, it won't take two days. I will prepare it for you tomorrow." Zhao Yi still has some abilities.
Xiang Chen nodded, didn't say much, and went back to his mansion.
His mansion was indeed almost emptied out, and some of the valuable rare treasures were now sold out.
There are only tables, chairs and benches left in the hall, and the tables, chairs and benches made of expensive materials have been replaced by the most ordinary ones.
However, Xiang Chen didn't care about this and returned to his secret practice room to sort out some of his gains during this period.
I killed two witch saints and got a lot of treasures from them.
There are two sacred artifacts, as well as a large number of elixirs, origin jade, exercises, medicinal materials, etc.
The next day, Zhao Yi asked to see Xiang Chen and handed over to Xiang Chen the information he had compiled on the powerful families in the imperial capital.
Xiang Chen’s mind read all the information above and kept it in mind.
Xiang Chen chose a family, the Nangong family, and decided to visit this family first to give it a try.
This family is relatively close to the Princess Mansion. The Nangong family operates wine in the Luotian Empire. They are one of the largest wine producing families and are very wealthy.
In the afternoon, Xiang Chen took Zhao Yi and others to the Nangong family.
The Nangong family's mansion is even more grand than the princess's mansion. Although they don't live in the imperial city, the entire family stands in the outer city like a small city.
The gate of the mansion is built like a city gate, and there are strong men wearing military robes guarding the gate. Xiang Chen can see that they are all gatekeepers who have cultivated to the realm of the God Emperor.
Xiang Chen arrived at the gate of the Nangong family and was immediately stopped by the guard.
"Nangong family, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"
Xiang Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense, took out his identity token and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, Yong'an, please see the head of the Nangong family."
When the guard saw the identity token, he immediately became more respectful and said quickly: "It turns out to be the Prince Consort. Prince Consort, please wait a moment. I will go in immediately to report."
Xiang Chen nodded, collected the token, and waited at the door with his hands behind his back.
After a while, a group of people came to the door to greet them. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, who was the head of the Nangong family.
The head of the Nangong family has a strong aura. From Xiang Chen's perspective, he is also a strong man at the pinnacle of the quasi-sage realm. The Nangong family also has a saint ancestor sitting in charge. Otherwise, how can it be called a big family in this imperial capital.
"The Prince Consort is here, our Nangong family is in full bloom, haha." The head of the Nangong family came over and clasped his fists with a smile, then came to Xiang Chen and bowed deeply.
"Master Nangong, you are so polite. Xiang Chen has taken the liberty of visiting and disturbing you so that you don't get offended." Xiang Chen returned the courtesy with a smile.
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. It's an honor for us to have our consort here. Prince Consort, please come in."
"please!"
Xiang Chen was welcomed into the Nangong family by this group of people and was taken to the reception hall.
Xiang Chen sat in the guest seat, the head of the Nangong family took the main seat, and the beautiful maid served top-notch divine tea.
The head of the Nangong family said with a smile: "They say that the Prince Consort is handsome, powerful, and good-looking. Now that I see him, he is indeed extraordinary. I wonder why the Prince Consort is so noble in our Nangong clan?"
Xiang Chen took a sip of tea, put it down, and said with a smile: "Master Nangong, you also know that the Witch God Clan has invaded our Luotian and killed our people in Luotian, which is an unpardonable crime."
"The soldiers on the front line fought bloody battles with the Witch God to keep us safe. As Luotian people, we should also contribute our own strength."
"In order to support the soldiers on the front line, our princess has also spent all her family wealth."
"So I want to call on the powerful and wealthy gentry in the imperial capital to make some contributions to support the frontline soldiers. Head of the Nangong family, do you think your Nangong family's support is appropriate?"
Xiang Chen's words made the head of the Nangong family narrow his eyes slightly, he was here to ask for money.
The head of the Nangong family did not change his expression and said with a smile: "We know Princess Yong'an's famous name, and I also believe that our soldiers will be able to resist the invasion of the Witch God Clan."
"In order to support the front line, our Nangong family head is also willing to make some contributions, but I want to know, is this the intention of the princess palace, or is this what the empire wants to do?"
Xiang Chen said: "This is a personal act of our Princess Mansion, but the Nangong family head can rest assured that all the resources we raise will be made public, and the account details and donation expenditure details will be announced. We ourselves will never enrich our own pockets."
"I see, the princess and the prince-in-law are really serving the country and the people. I believe in their character. In this way, our Nangong family is willing to provide five million taels to support the frontline soldiers." The head of the Nangong family expressed a rather generous attitude.
"Five million taels——"
Xiang Chen showed a half-smiling expression: "The Nangong family's daily expenses must be more than this amount. Head of the Nangong family, we are here to fight against the Witch God Clan and protect our common home.
I don’t want much, just 200 million Origin Divine Jade, or life-saving elixirs, magic weapons and the like converted into equivalent value.”
The head of the Nangong family said with a bitter look on his face: "Prince-in-law, you don't know that business is not doing well these days. We, the head of the Nangong family, have just received a big order recently, and a lot of money has been used to buy materials."
"Although our Nangong family's property is not small, so many people have to eat, practice, and spend money. The income can hardly keep up with the expenses."
"Let's see. Our Nangong family bites the bullet and gives us 20 million taels of Origin Divine Jade. No matter how much more we have, we really don't have any."
"Don't let the Witch God break in by then, and we will be dragged down first. Of course, I believe it is absolutely impossible for the Witch God Clan to break through our Luo Tian. With the Empire and the Holy Sect here, we will never let them succeed."
Xiang Chen sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the Nangong family would be in such a difficult situation. If this is the case, then so be it."
He felt a little cold in his heart, a family business with hundreds of billions of dollars could still be so selfish in the face of an invasion, let alone other smaller family forces.
These people are too obsessed with the Luotian Empire and the Holy Sect, and have no idea of the terror of the Witch God Clan.
