Section 43 Difficult Choices
Luofeng Domain Sacred Palace, Council Hall
The Silver Potassium Guards were majestic and heavily guarded, but for these powerhouses in the hall, they were just a faΓ§ade. Now that Huo Qingyang is already sitting in the council hall, as the number one powerhouse in the Luofeng Domain, he is also thinking about the future of the Luofeng Domain.
Under the long corridor outside the council hall, Zong Ze waited silently with his hands in his hands. Great Elder Huo Qingyang had been talking secretly with Lin Chengfeng in the hall for more than half an hour, and Zong Ze knew that Huo Qingyang should be persuading and suppressing Lin Chengfeng.
These are the times, Zong Ze is also secretly measuring the forces of all parties, he knows that in the eyes of the outside world, he will always be a loyal slave of the Li clan. But Zong Ze also understood that after the Young Domain Lord took over the power, he would never reuse an old man like him again. As for how to choose in the end, Zong Ze hopes that Lin Chengfeng can openly compete with Li Qihuang. In that case, a patriarch like him would benefit from it.
An internal official bowed down and walked in front of Zong Ze and said in a low voice, "Lord Qiqi, it has been ascertained that Helian Mingyue entered the secret realm under the pretense of the domain lord's order. And that palace occupies the mountain, but it was recommended by the elder Wei Anping. In addition, Wu Tianyi from Mandu City sent a message confirming that this palace occupied the mountain and was the palace rebirth of the year. β
Zong Ze narrowed his eyes, "Hehe, this is a little strange, under the pretense of the domain master's order?" Well, I know, has the news from Fang Chengjing in Huafeng City been sent?"
"As you commanded, it has been sent out. β
"The water in here is getting muddy, and a small palace family is actually involved in so many forces. Let them go for the time being, and tell me as soon as the people of the palace family arrive in the holy capital. β
The internal official agreed, and was just about to leave, when Zong Ze suddenly shouted, "Wait, has anyone been to the main hall today?"
"No one entered, according to the order of the young master, Lord Gu Hefei, the head of the guards of the Holy Palace, all blocked him. β
"What about the people in the palace?"
The internal officials were stunned, "Except for the internal officials who serve food and daily life, no one enters." β
"From now on, it's all your people. Whoever comes into contact with the young master must report it to me immediately. In addition, spread the true strength of these elders of the Silver Dragon Academy, especially those big families. Let's go down. β
Zong Ze said, but his eyes were always on those silver and potassium guards, he wanted to see who had looked at them. Even some inadvertent actions did not escape Zong Ze's sharp eyes.
The day of the great funeral is approaching, and the heads of the major families in the Luofeng Domain have received orders from the domain. Although the holy capital city is solemn, it is full of traffic, and the major families visit each other.
In front of the main hall of the Holy Palace, two internal officials were holding food plates, and as soon as they walked up the steps, they were stopped by Gu Hefei, the head of the guard.
"Master Gu, we are ordered to serve the master's food and daily life. An internal official hurriedly said.
"The young master has already commanded, today is sad and has no intention of eating, so wait and retreat. Gu Hefei looked at the two internal officials majestically.
"But~ The chief steward has instructed that if the master misses the meal, the small ones can't afford it, and they still hope that Lord Gu is making a sound. β
"Stand down!" Gu Hefei was stunned, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with them at all.
The two internal officials were so frightened that they could only retreat helplessly. Gu Hefei raised his eyes and glanced at Heng Ge outside the main hall.
In the back hall of the hall, Li Qihuang stood with his hands in his hands with deep eyes, and after a while, Liao Qi led in a man fifty miles away from the back door. This person is Chang An Shihai, the gate of Cihu City's family, and he can be regarded as Li Qihuang's former half of his senior brother.
Li Qihuang saw it and hurriedly greeted him, "Master An, meeting Brother An in the inner hall today is really a helpless move, and I hope that Master An will forgive me." β
"The lord of the young domain is polite, the old lord of the old domain is sad for the passing of the crane immortal, and the lord of the young domain mourns. An Shihai only bowed slightly, although there was respect and humility among the strong, there was no courtesy of a monarch and a minister, not to mention that the young domain lord had not yet been crowned.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Liao Qi quietly retreated. An Shihai knew it, but he calmly waited for Li Qihuang to take the initiative to speak.
Li Qihuang looked at An Shihai, there was no sadness on the faces of the two, Li Qihuang asked softly, "Presumably the head of the An family has already received a letter from the head of the Lin family, right?"
An Shihai didn't deny it, and nodded, "Yes, I received Lin Chengfeng's invitation before I came, but as soon as I settled down, I still haven't had time to pass." β
Li Qihuang sighed and said, "Master An, I can't hide it, my father left too suddenly, and many things didn't have time to be arranged. However, before his death, his father deliberately confessed to Qihuang, and he said~ The master of the An family can be the stone of my Fengyu territory. β
An Shihai arched his hand slightly, and said very calmly, "Thanks to the love of the domain lord, An is ashamed." β
Speaking of this, An Shihai glanced at Li Qihuang, "But I don't know if the young master is worried about being outside the territory~ or inside the domain?"
Li Qihuang knew that An Shihai was also an old fox, and a shrewd person had one of the biggest characteristics, that is, he was afraid of the strong.
Li Qihuang's face showed a miserable look, and he said sadly, "In the past, when my father was here, I didn't know how to make progress in the mud. Now that my father has left, I realize that this world is stable, and it is indeed very human. Qihuang is not talented, he knows that his virtue is shallow, and after his father's funeral, Qihuang is ready to invite a virtuous person to take the position. According to the meaning of the father, the master of the An family can have ~. β
When An Shihai heard this, he hurriedly stood up without waiting for Li Qihuang to finish speaking, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The young domain lord must not say that, An Shihai is indifferent by nature and has no intention of coveting it. β
"Don't panic, Master An, there are only you and me here, in the next sentence. β
"Young Domain Lord, I know that Young Domain Master has concerns in my heart. In fact, there is no need, with the Great Elder of Qingyang in charge, An believes that Luofeng Domain will not make waves. β
Li Qihuang nodded and sighed, "Yes, the Great Elder Qingyang said that the Martial Emperor and the Queen of Heaven can suppress the Four Domains of the Phantom Sea. But Qihuang has only just been promoted to the middle of the fourth level of the earth grade, how can he convince the strong people in the world. Instead of being scared all day long, it is better to be a carefree person. β
"You can't say that, the Sacred Palace Golden Potassium Guards have joined forces, I'm afraid that the Martial Emperor can take a single blow, so why should the Young Domain Lord be worried. What's more, the old domain lord is stable, and the young lord doesn't have to worry about it. β
An Shihai is also a shrewd person, and he knows that Li Qihuang is forcing him to choose. However, for a while, An Shihai did not dare to decide. Although Huo Qingyang supports Li Qihuang, he can temporarily suppress Lin Chengfeng, but after all, Huo Qingyang is old, and if he leaves suddenly like the domain master Li Jingzhang in a few years, An Shihai does not want the An family to fall into a crisis. However, An Shihai also knew that once Lin Chengfeng sat down, the first one to be eliminated at that time would be An Jia who could threaten him. Li Qihuang's seemingly retreating move actually forced him to join forces to fight against the forest.
Li Qihuang and An Shihai had a secret conversation in the inner hall, and in the harem, a hunchbacked old man drove a carriage into the inner courtyard of the remote flower garden in the harem. The small courtyard is not big, but it is full of fragrance, and there is an old lady with silver hair sitting next to the stone table. Although this old lady is not the master of the harem, she is a former concubine of the domain lord Li Jingzhang.
The carriage stopped, and the hunchbacked old man got out of the carriage and gave the old lady a slight salute, and without saying a word, walked to the stone pier at the door and sat down. There were a few coughs in the car, and a hoarse voice complained.
"This old camel doesn't know how to lift the curtain for this old man. β
As soon as the door curtain fell, a golden cane stretched out, and a fat old man with a gorgeous white beard walked out of the car. The old man walked over and sat down unceremoniously across from the old lady with a smile on his face.
The old lady looked at the white-bearded old man, sighed and said, "Jing Zhang is gone, can't you pretend to be sad when you old thing." β
"I'm old, I can only say that I can survive better than him. If you wanted to marry me, it wouldn't be ~. β
"Shut up!"
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. At this time, you let the camel invite me into the palace, it won't just be a reminiscence. β
"I still can't let go of it in my heart~ β
"Why bother, Qihuang is not biological, you haven't asked about the world for more than ten years, just let the children toss. β
The old lady didn't say anything, but took out the chessboard from under the stone table, "Old thing, accompany me for the next game." If the old body loses, you can go back, and if you lose, help him. β
"You've never beaten me. β
"If you dare to win, I will dare to let the old camel burn all your wealth outside the territory. β
Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man sitting on the stone pier outside the door showed a strange expression. He knew that when he mentioned his family wealth, the old lady would win the game. Because this fat old man who looks like a rich man is the head of the Guo family in Anji City, who is rich in the world, and he also has a name that he thinks is very domineering~ Guo Fugui.
... ...
Within the territory of the Luofeng Domain, a huge painting boat full of spiritual power and flowers drifted in the air relying on the support of spiritual power. This is the driving force of the angels outside the sky, and only these women who like to show off in this way like to show off.
There were various pastries on the table in the painting boat, and a graceful and luxurious old woman in her sixties leaned back in her chair and looked at the clouds in the sky. On her right is Ye Ying'er, who was named Red Leaf by the Queen of Heaven. This middle-aged woman is the messenger of this trip to the heavens, and she is also the most trusted female official of the Shang Palace. In Yuzhu Island, no one knows her name, and everyone respectfully calls her Mama Li.
Mama Li looked at Ye Ying'er and said with a smile, "Red leaf girl, Your Majesty can let you follow the old body, which is enough to see Your Majesty's love for you." If you want me to say, in two years' time, you girl will probably be selected for the selection of saints. The twelve personal maids who serve His Majesty, the most optimistic thing for the old body is your red leaves. β
Ye Ying'er bowed her head lightly and replied respectfully, "Mama Li praised it falsely, Hongye met the queen of heaven when she was a mother, and she was saved by her mother because of the cold poison, so she didn't dare to ask for gratitude." β
"You kid is just well-behaved, not like the other girls, all of them have little calculations. Momiji, Your Majesty knows very well who is truly serving her, and sometimes it is easier to get it without fighting. Mama Li looked at the red leaves happily, she admired this girl's indifferent personality.
"Thank you for your advice, Momiji will be remembered. Mama, won't we be delaying our progress at this speed?"
Mama Li leaned back disdainfully, "Don't worry, let's not arrive, this feast in Luofeng Domain will not be held." Emperor Wu is in retreat, presumably there will not send any important people over there. If Huo Qingyang wants to make those people in the Four Domains of the Phantom Sea be honest, he can only rely on us outside the sky. β
"In fact, as long as the mother agrees to the Silver Dragon Academy, Hongye feels that there is no need to work hard for you to go for a long time. β
Mama Li shook her head, "Red leaf girl, you don't understand this, and the sky doesn't just agree to them." If you don't pay the price, the old body can't give you an account to Your Majesty. There are many strong people in this world, and if you want me to say, it is better to have less, and save more trouble. β
"What, Mama has other matters to do?" Ye Ying'er looked at Mama Li strangely.
Mama Li nodded slightly, with an elite look in her eyes, "After Li Jingzhang's funeral, we still have to go to the Silver Dragon Academy." After so many years, the old body really wanted to test whether this Silver Dragon Secret Realm was as weak as the rumors said. β
"Silver Dragon Secret Realm?"
Ye Ying'er was stunned in her heart, in the early years, she learned from the Lord of the Wood Jing that the Silver Dragon Secret Realm could only be entered at the level below the level of the earth, could it be that this Mama Li still had the means to reach the sky? If not, could it be~ Ye Ying'er suddenly felt a shock in her heart and thought of a terrible result.
Ye Ying'er was silent on the surface, but her heart was trembling, no wonder the Queen of Heaven sent Mama Li, who was a ninth-level spiritual power, to Luofeng Domain. Not only that, but there was also a formation wizard in the painting boat. Could it be that they really want to take the opportunity to destroy the Silver Dragon Secret Realm?
