Section 44 The Embarrassment of the Palace
In the holy capital of the Fengyu Domain, the heads of the hermits and martial arts families from all over the country arrived one after another, and Gong Baocheng and the eldest palace Qingfeng and his party also rushed to the holy capital. A small clan like them can't afford to drive quickly with the blessings of spiritual power, so the more small clans they are, the later they arrive. What's more, Gong Baocheng also brought a cart of heavy gifts, ready to take the opportunity to visit An Shihai and Helian Chaha.
Gong Qingfeng was busy for a while, and came to his father Gong Baocheng, who was still waiting, "Dad, I have already handed over the official document of Huafeng City, but the official post is already full, it seems that we can only find an inn to live in first." ”
Gong Baocheng nodded, "Qingfeng, find a high-grade inn that is closer to the Holy Palace, and if the two major gate chiefs come to visit, our palace family will not lose its dignity." ”
Gong Qingfeng agreed, and said in his heart that now there are major families gathered in the Holy Capital, and it will cost a lot to find one that is closer to the Holy Palace. Gong Baocheng looked at the flow of passengers on the street and beckoned Gong Qingyuan, who was escorting the convoy.
"Qingyuan, this is not Huafeng City, everything must be cautious. Take the family guard to take care of the items in the car, and you can't lose it. ”
Gong Qingyuan hugged his fists, "Patriarch rest assured, Qingyuan personally takes care of such a valuable gift." ”
Gong Baocheng nodded with satisfaction, it was Gong Qingyuan who escorted Zhan Shan to the ancestral land back then, and magically brought back a silver dragon order that changed the fate of the entire family. Now Gong Qingyuan's status in the family is also rising, and he has become Gong Qingfeng's right-hand man.
After the Gong family and his party stayed, Gong Baocheng immediately ordered Gong Qingfeng to hold the family worship post and go to visit the head of the An family and the city lord of Helian together. As a result, not only did he eat the closed-door soup, but he also touched his nose with ashes. How can people have the time to meet a small clan head like them, but fortunately, Gong Baocheng did not say anything about proposing marriage on the worship post, otherwise he would be beaten out.
At this time, the Yinlong Courtyard returned to the hall, and Gong Zhanshan was also sad, and even scolded his cousin Gong Ling angrily. Gong Zhanshan's mother had already passed the book, and Gong Zhanshan learned that the patriarch's grandfather was going to take the opportunity of going to the holy capital to propose marriage to the two families, and his brain was suddenly bursting. Gong Ling also knew that she had caused trouble, so she stood aside aggrievedly and didn't dare to look up.
"I said, sister, what did you tell my mother nonsense? I'm less than twenty, and I'm not in a hurry for you. Besides, where is this, grandpa will not be mad at that time. ”
Gong Ling glanced up at Gong Zhanshan, "I didn't expect the fourth aunt to tell grandpa, what can I do, you should think of a way." ”
Gong Zhanshan pointed at Gong Ling angrily, "Our Gong family will make you miserable this time." You don't want to think about it, what kind of family is Ren'an Mansion and Helian Mansion, and refusal is a trivial matter, I'm afraid that grandpa will have no face to see people. ”
Gong Ling couldn't help but sobbed worriedly when she thought of her grandfather being ridiculed and scolded angrily. Gong Zhanshan was just about to reprimand a few more words, when he saw Guo Zizan pushing the door with a flattering face with soup.
"Sister Ling, I specially asked someone to give it to you~ Huh, what's the matter, who bullied you?"
Gong Zhanshan glared boredly, "It's none of your business, go out." ”
Guo Zizan didn't care about Gong Zhanshan at all, put down the soup and walked quickly to Gong Ling, "Sister Ling, what's wrong." Tell my brother if something happens, don't be afraid. ”
Guo Zizan persuaded like this, Gong Ling felt even more aggrieved, she was kind enough to help Zhanshan, but she didn't expect to bring trouble to the family. Guo Zizan saw Gong Lingguang crying and didn't speak, and immediately turned his head to stare at Gong Zhanshan.
"Zhanshan, it's a brother, just tell me, what's wrong?"
Gong Zhanshan stretched out the letter in his hand angrily, anyway, there is no secret on it, "Look, it's all a good thing that my sister did." It is estimated that it will not be long before our palace family will become famous in the Holy Capital. ”
Guo Zizan hurriedly took it, and after reading the content of the letter, Guo Zizan skimmed his beard, "Hey! What a big deal should I do, isn't it just a kiss, as for crying like this." Not to mention, I think you and An Ruoxi are very suitable, as for that Helian Mingyue, you are not too much anyway. ”
"You kid look at my jokes, get out, or I'll beat you up. Gong Zhanshan snatched the letter from the family.
"Zhan Shan, I know you're worried that the Gong family will make people laugh. Isn't there still me, Sister Ling, don't worry, I will write a letter to my grandfather immediately, and I will receive it in six hours with the spiritual fire book. As soon as his old man came forward, there was absolutely no problem with this. Guo Zizan said in a big way.
Gong Ling raised his head in surprise, and Gong Zhanshan was even more moved, "Zizan, could it be that as soon as your grandfather comes forward, he will be able to suppress their two families?"
Gong Zhanshan said in his heart that if this is the case, then the hidden strength of your Guo family is too great. Could it be that this kid has been acting since the beginning? This acting is too good.
Guo Zizan shook his head like a rattle, "That's not enough, my grandfather came forward, at most, let the two families refuse tactfully, at least they can get by on face." ”
Gong Zhanshan looked Guo Zizan up and down, and couldn't help sneering, "Okay, your kid is hidden deep enough, so that the two families can give face, it seems that your Guo family is also a top wealthy family." ”
Guo Zizan glared at Gong Zhanshan suspiciously, "Isn't this nonsense, of course our Guo family is a top wealthy family, when did Lao Tzu hide it? ”
"Uh~ No, I mean~ Just because of this family, I have to give your grandfather face?" Gong Zhanshan said in his heart, I don't mean money.
Guo Zizan looked at the two of them strangely, "Which of the major wealthy families in Luofeng Domain does not owe our family's debts, of course they have to give face." ”
"That's it?"
"Yes, my grandfather is a creditor, is it possible that you owe other people's debts and have the face to refuse others?"
"Uh~!" Gong Zhanshan was really speechless, he really couldn't refute such a reasonable answer.
When Gong Ling heard this, she grabbed Guo Zizan's arm excitedly, "Brother Guo, you must help me this time." Otherwise, I won't have the face to go home in the future. ”
This 'Brother Guo' shouted Guo Zizan's bones, "Sister Ling, I'll write to my grandfather, don't worry, it's nothing to have a brother." ”
Gong Zhanshan scratched his head, don't look at Guo Zizan's sworn appearance, he doesn't believe this guy's nonsense. In fact, Gong Zhanshan had already thought about it, and he thought it would be better to ask the master to come forward. After all, An Ruoxi and Helian Mingyue are both in the Silver Dragon Courtyard, and with this gold-lettered signboard, at least it will not make the palace family too unable to come to the stage.
Sure enough, Guo Zizan soon received the spiritual fire book from his grandfather. But there is only a four-word reply on it~ It's about your!
The Holy Capital of the Falling Phoenix Domain has three days to reach the period of the Domain Lord's great mourning, but the envoys of the Four Domains of the Phantom Sea are all stationed a hundred miles away from the Holy Capital. And the envoys of Ling Xiao Pavilion and the Outer Heaven are still on the way.
The seemingly calm holy capital was panicked by this invisible oppressive atmosphere, but those wealthy families had their eyes fixed on another crisis. Because these great patriarchs learned that the Outer Heaven had agreed to pressure the Four Domains of the Phantom Sea, and that the Silver Dragon Elder led by Huo Qingyang was in charge, they understood that the crisis outside the domain had been temporarily alleviated. But whether the Luofeng Domain can be as calm as before, it's hard to say.
The Sacred Palace Council Hall was full of people, and the major families came to visit the Great Elder of Qingyang. After a few days of busyness, An Shihai also came to the council hall. Before making a decision, he not only wanted to listen to Huo Qingyang's plans, but also hoped to meet with Wei Anping, the elder of the Shan Gui Hall. When An Shihai learned that Wei Anping had reached the early stage of the eighth grade of the earth, he couldn't help but be surprised that this little-known elder was hiding so deeply. In the unpredictable future, even if Huo Qingyang dies, if this elder supports Li Qihuang, then Lin Chengfeng will have to think deeply.
After visiting the Great Elder, Wei Anping also felt a little strange when he learned that An Shihai had come to see him. However, it just so happened that after Wei Anping received the letter, he also wanted to solve the affairs of the palace family for Zhanshan.
In the side hall, An Shihai looked at Wei Anping, who looked like a small mountain, and was really shocked by his figure. An Shihai is different from Lin Chengfeng, he has no official position in Shengdu, so he rarely deals with the Silver Dragon Academy. Even if you have been to Yinlong Courtyard, it is impossible to go to the dining hall, so I have no relationship with Wei Anping.
An Shihai bowed slightly, this was a respect for the strong, "Elder Wei, I came to visit and disturbed the elder's cultivation." ”
"Master An doesn't have to be polite, please!" Wei Anping gestured and asked An Shihai to take a seat.
The two exchanged politeness, and An Shihai said bluntly, "I was shocked to hear that Elder Wei is only one step away from the peak, which is really a great blessing for me to fall into the Phoenix Domain." But I don't know, does Elder Wei have a personal opinion on the replacement of the domain master?"
The fat on Wei Anping's face trembled, "Master An, I'm not good at this, and I don't want to ask about these mundane things." However, since the head of the An family asked, the old man also had something to say. Although the elders in our Silver Dragon Courtyard were implicated in the major families, the old man only obeyed the orders of the Elder Pavilion. ”
"After all, the Great Elder is old, I wonder if Elder Wei can take over?"
Wei Anping shook his head, "I don't have this idea, but I support the opinion of the Great Elder Qingyang." Surrounded by strong enemies outside the region, it is better to be more stable in the region, and changing course will displace civilians, and I don't want to see that scene in the future. ”
After getting the answer, An Shihai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lin Chengfeng had already been wooed, in that case, in order to survive the An family, he could only take refuge in Lin Chengfeng.
Just as An Shihai was about to say a few words of farewell, Wei Anping suddenly said, "Master An, Ruoxi's girl is a good seedling. Maybe in the future, she will be better than you. ”
An Shihai said happily, "Thank you Elder Wei for your praise, I have met Elder Situ a few times, and I am very grateful to be able to get Elder Situ's love." ”
Wei Anping was not good at words, and hesitated and didn't know how to say anything about the palace family. An Shihai saw Wei Anping's appearance and asked strangely.
"Elder Wei, are you still in business?"
"This~!" Wei Anping felt in his heart, "Master An, I have a reluctant request below, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
An Shihai said with a smile, "Elder Wei doesn't need to be polite, but if An can do it, he will definitely not refuse." ”
An Shihai said in his heart that such a powerful person as you has something to ask for, which is a good thing. But he also understood that what Wei Anping asked for was by no means easy to do.
Wei Anping secretly cursed Zhanshan a few words in his heart, and looked at An Shihai embarrassedly, "Master An, I have a disciple named Gong Zhanshan, who is a member of the palace family in Huafeng City. To be honest, he and Ruoxi are both disciples who have entered the secret realm, and the future is promising. And ~ Zhanshan's child and Ruoxi are in love, and the old man wants to be a matchmaker from it, you see~?"
An Shihai looked at Wei Anping in surprise, his hands trembled for a long time, and he almost didn't touch the teacup to the ground. He never expected that the thing Wei Anping mentioned turned out to be a marriage proposal.
Within this day, Wei Anping met with a total of two people, one was An Shihai and the other was Helian Chaha. An Shihai was okay, he neither agreed nor refused, but just tactfully said that he would think about it. But when Helian Chaha heard the proposal, he almost didn't have a sip of tea sprayed on Wei Anping's face. Gong Zhanshan, who was far away in the Silver Dragon Academy, never dreamed that he would ask his master to make amends for the Gong family's sins, so as not to let the family misunderstand, but Wei Anping directly made him the master.
The two books of illness were quickly transmitted to the Silver Dragon Courtyard, and An Shihai and Helian Chaha both wanted to ask the little girl what was going on. Especially An Shihai, who has already received two proposals, and Lin Chengfeng is also waiting for his reply. It can be said that agreeing and refusing directly represent the choice of settling down. According to Lin Chengfeng's words, the Anlin family will benefit both sides, and there will be no one to compete in the Luofeng Domain. Even the Great Elder Huo Qingyang of their alliance had to take care of the interests of all parties and could not continue to support Li Qihuang.
In the Holy Capital, in a luxury inn not far from the Holy Palace, Gong Baocheng, father and son, waited for news from the Holy Palace. They wanted to visit the two patriarchs, but they couldn't even enter the threshold of the house, and they were directly expelled by the steward. If you don't go to the meeting, Gong Baocheng is afraid that people will say that the palace family has lost its manners. Just when the father and son were discussing whether to visit again, they suddenly saw Gong Qingyuan running in excitedly.
"Patriarch Qiyu, Lord Zongze, the Grand Administrator of the Holy Palace, wants to see you. ”
Gong Baocheng was stunned, and when Gong Qingfeng heard the name Zong Ze, he also stood up nervously. The ancestral land of the Gong family has been kept secret, and Gong Qingyuan didn't know the reason and thought it was a great favor. But when Gong Baocheng and his son heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
"Zong~ Where is Lord Zongze now? Gong Baocheng gave Qingfeng a hint, which meant that he must not be impulsive.
"Patriarch, how could Master Zong come to such a small shop, the guards of the Holy Palace outside have already prepared a car, please come over. Didn't you see it, the shopkeeper who had been underestimating us heard the invitation of Master Zong, and he was so frightened that he almost didn't kneel down for me. ”
Gong Qingyuan looked at the patriarch Gong Baocheng happily, he felt that even the chief manager of the Holy Palace personally sent a car to invite him, who would dare to look down on the Gong family in the future.
Gong Baocheng couldn't be happy, but he didn't dare not go to Zong Ze's invitation. Gong Baocheng quietly instructed his son Gong Qingfeng, and then followed Gong Qingyuan outside.
Gong Baocheng came to the hall of the inn, the four silver potassium guards waited majestically, the shopkeeper bowed, and hurriedly greeted Gong Baocheng when he saw him.
"Master Gong family, the small one will let people vacate the upper room for you, and I hope that the master of the palace family will not blame the rudeness. ”
Gong Baocheng smiled faintly, he didn't bother to care about this kind of snob. Gong Baocheng arched his hand at the silver potassium guard, and was about to thank him, but he heard a hoarse voice outside the hall say.
"Zong Ze doesn't have to go there, let's talk to the two brothers tonight. ”
As he spoke, he saw a golden cane reach in. Guo Fugui, the patriarch of the Guo family, who was dressed and was afraid that others would not see that he was rich, walked in with the support of two family members.
