Chapter 699: Situation

"Dad, Mom, we're back. Shen Lingyue looked at Ouyang Ting and Gu Jingran and said with a smile.

Ouyang Ting heard Shen Lingyue's voice, looked up, and was overjoyed, sure enough, Shen Lingyue and a few people came back, and hurriedly got up and walked towards Shen Lingyue, hugged Shen Lingyue in her arms, and said happily: "Yue'er, you are finally back, I heard that the Lanyue Empire closed the border, we knew that it must be because of you, and we were worried, so you came back, it's really good." ”

Shen Lingyue smiled: "Don't worry, mother, what can we do?" However, the plan of the Lanyue Empire was completely destroyed by us, and we also got a lot of good things, this time it can be regarded as a bumper harvest." ”

Ouyang Ting said with a smile: "No matter how much benefit you get, it's better to be able to go home safely, this time I'm back, don't leave for the time being, stay a few more days." ”

Shen Lingyue was moved in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, my daughter listens to her mother, and this time she will stay longer." ”

Ouyang Ting turned to Gu Jingran and said, "You have been sleeping in the study by yourself these days, I want to sleep with Yue'er." ”

Gu Jingran shook his head helplessly, "Yue'er, you see, I have lived with your mother all my life, but I am not as important as you in her mind, alas, I feel uncomfortable." ”

Shen Lingyue was amused by Gu Jingran, "Dad, my mother is just happy to see her daughter, and my father's status in my mother's mind is unmatched." ”

When Gu Jingran heard this, his eyes lit up, "Is this true?"

Shen Lingyue seemed to be in her heart, but she said very seriously on her face: "Of course, this is what my mother told her daughter personally, and my mother also said that the most loved person in this life is my father." ”

Gu Jingran was happy when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Ting proudly.

Ouyang Ting couldn't help but glance at Shen Lingyue, but she didn't debunk Shen Lingyue, after all, although what Shen Lingyue said was a bit exaggerated, it was basically the truth, otherwise she wouldn't have given up her family and resolutely followed Gu Jingran back then.

After a few people laughed a few words, Ouyang Ting very intimately asked Shen Lingyue and the others to go down to bathe and change clothes first, and then come back to dine together to celebrate the triumphant return of Shen Lingyue and the others.

The book was brief, a few people had finished washing, and when they returned to the living room, Ouyang Ting had already prepared a table of meals, and Gu Laozu and Ouyang Ting and his wife were waiting here early.

Shen Lingyue said with a smile: "Ancestor, it's good for you to eat first, it's all your own people, there's no need to wait for us to arrive before eating." ”

Gu Laozu said: "Girl, it should be done after a while, and it is not interesting for us to eat by ourselves, and we also want to know what happened to you in the Lanyue Empire, let's eat, you will tell the old man and others." ”

Shen Lingyue nodded and agreed, and while eating, he told Gu Lao Zu about everything that happened in the Lanyue Empire.

When Gu Laozu heard this, he praised it repeatedly, and said in his heart that he really deserved to be the chosen one, he really had great luck, no matter where he went, he would always be able to turn evil into good fortune, turn danger into disaster, and there would be unexpected gains.

After speaking, Shen Lingyue asked Gu Lao Zu: "Old Ancestor, in the days when we were away, did anything happen to the emperor?"

Gu Lao Zu said: "There are actually things, but they are not very serious. Now the Huangfu family and the Chu family have completely stood on His Majesty's side, as for the Chen family, they are still in the wait-and-see stage, after the Ouyang family withdrew from the four major families and left the imperial capital, the Zhao family replaced the Ouyang family and became one of the new four major families in the imperial capital, of course, the Zhao family is also on His Majesty's side. ”

Shen Lingyue said in his heart, I really didn't expect that he and the others would not leave for a while, and so many things had happened, but did this Zhao family really have the strength to rank among the four major families? Shen Lingyue had reservations about this.

Gu Lao Zu seemed to see Shen Lingyue's thoughts, and continued: "The Zhao family was originally not qualified, but the ancestor of the Zhao family was promoted, and now the strength is not worse than the ancestor of the four major families, His Majesty deliberately supported the Zhao family when he saw it, so although the Zhao family is slightly inferior to the four major families, the difference is not big. ”

Shen Lingyue said: "It's no wonder, it seems that most of the forces in the imperial capital should have been enveloped by His Majesty now, and now although the Chen family is in a neutral state, I'm afraid it is more inclined to Your Majesty, right?"

Gu Lao Zu nodded and said, "What you said is right, the Chen family is now in a moment of vacillation, but it is more inclined to Your Majesty, because the four major sects have also stated their position on Your Majesty's side. ”

When Shen Lingyue heard this, her face finally became a little solemn, "It seems that they must know something, or what Your Majesty promised them, otherwise they would not stand on Your Majesty's side without hesitation." ”

Gu Laozu muttered: "Now there is news that the Xi boy is not His Majesty's bloodline, of course, it is only spreading among a small range of high-level now, but it is estimated that once the time is ripe, everyone will definitely know about it." ”

Shen Lingyue smiled indifferently: "What if you know when the time comes? The Lanyue Empire and the Ling Tian Empire are estimated to have already entered the market, who still has time to think about how to deal with Xuanyuan Xi?"

Gu Lao Zu said: "If the Lanyue Empire and the Ling Tian Empire really provoke a war, it is very likely that Your Majesty will send Xiao Zi Xi to quell the rebellion and kill Xiao Zi by the hands of the enemy. ”

Shen Lingyue's eyes were cold, "Then it depends on whether Your Majesty has the ability to calculate Xuanyuan Xi, am I right?"

Shen Lingyue looked at Xuanyuan Xi with a smile.

The corners of Xuanyuan Xi's lips rose: "There are not many people in this world who can calculate this king, and he is definitely not among them." ”

Shen Lingyue glanced at Xuanyuan Xi: "Look at you crazy." ”

Xuanyuan Xi said slowly: "This is not madness, it is strength. ”

Shen Lingyue smiled: "What you said is also right, but until now I don't know how powerful you are, can you tell me about it?"

Xuanyuan Xi glanced at Shen Lingyue, "Since you asked, then I might as well tell you something, if I want to overthrow my father, as long as I raise my arms, the Asahi Empire will directly change hands." ”

Shen Lingyue was shocked when she heard this: "You actually have such a big power? ”

Xuanyuan Xi smiled lightly: "This king has been laying out since he was ten years old when he knew that it was not the royal bloodline. ”

Shen Lingyue calculated in her heart, she started to lay out at the age of ten, and now Xuanyuan Xi is twenty-six years old, which means that Xuanyuan Xi has been laying out for sixteen years.

This guy is really a demon.

Xuanyuan Xi continued: "Actually, now the major cities, especially many small ones, are basically controlled by my people, but I have never been in direct contact with them, and many of my fathers think they are his subordinates, but they are actually my people at all. ”
