Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 50: The Unruly Princess
Following the uproar of the Qingqiu Emperor's Mansion incident, Dongque, which was supposed to return to calm, was experiencing waves of turbulence one after another.
The entire Dongque people are in danger and earth-shaking changes are taking place.
On the one hand, the Yuanshi people in Dongque are all discussing a person, and there are different opinions.
Some say that this person is burly and handsome, and he is a member of the Luo family, named Luo Tian.
Some people say that Luo Tian is the only one who accepts the inheritance, but because his heart is not firm enough, he falls into the devil.
Some say that Luo Tian did not receive the inheritance, but the person holding the Qingguang Sword is the real person who inherits the Qingdi Emperor.
Some say that Luo Tianhao is heroic and has saved many young talents in Dongque and Nanqiu.
It is also said that Luo Tian conspired with Emperor Qing to attack the family forces of Dongque and Nanqiu, in an attempt to dominate Dongque.
In short, each has different opinions, one passes ten, ten passes hundred, and Luo Tian in everyone's mouth is different, which can't help but put a veil of mystery on Luo Tian.
This is one, the two, since the royal family Nangong family came back, they have declared to the outside world that the Shangguan family is presumptuous and rude, and there is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, and the Shangguan family is strictly forbidden to participate in military discussions, and the people of the Shangguan family have not been allowed by the Nangong family to take half a step in Xingyu City.
As soon as this order was issued, the entire Dongque instantly understood that the Nangong family had regarded the Shangguan family as an enemy, and many small forces around it did not dare to get close, and the entire Shangguan family was isolated by Dongque.
These are the first two, the three, the Qingfang that resounded loudly throughout the Yuan Zhou, suddenly issued an order to directly stop business with the Luo family and the Han family, and would only trade with the Shangguan family.
As a result, the Nangong family of the imperial family had to revoke its isolation from the Shangguan family, but they still chose to be hostile.
Until receiving the news, Nanqiu will unite with Ximo to launch an attack on Dongque, so that the strength of the Shangguan family should not be underestimated, and the Shangguan family holds most of the jade in Dongque, which shows in disguise that the Shangguan family is the god of wealth in Dongque, how to fight without money, and a large number of weapons and armor needed need to be provided by Qingfang, so that the role of the Shangguan family has become particularly important.
In desperation, the Nangong family had no choice but to retract the accusations against the Shangguan family, and restore the reputation and status of the Shangguan family, and changed to submission.
These three things swept through the entire Dongque overnight like a hurricane, and all the large and small power families above the Dongque were busy for a while, and the more careful it was at this time to choose the right camp, otherwise it would appear, and a son would be wrong, and the ending would be all over.
Xingyu City, in Shangguan's mansion, at this time, a transparent and bright hall was full of people, and there was a middle-aged man with red hair and red eyebrows sitting in the lobby, this person was Shangguan Ao, the current head of the Shangguan family.
The composition of the Shangguan family is very similar to that of the Luo family, in addition to Shangguan Rui, the strong man of the Great Perfection of the Dingyuan Realm who appeared earlier, there is also a person named Shangguan Jing, who has a son Shangguan Ao, Shangguan Ao has two sons and a daughter under his knees, the eldest son Shangguan Mingzhe, the second son Shangguan Heng, and the younger daughter has not yet come to the world.
Shangguan Hong, the son of Shangguan Rui, also has a son and a daughter, the son Shangguan Chen, and the daughter will not talk about it for the time being.
At this time, above the lobby, there was Shangguan Mingzhe in a purple robe who looked like a demon, and Shangguan Chen, who was seriously injured by Luo Tian in the Qingqiu Emperor's Mansion and is now healed.
"Hahaha, I knew that the Nangong family could only stop making peace in the end, and this matter was thanks to Mingzhe's careful arrangements in the Dawn Realm, so that Qingfang would isolate the Luo family and the Han family, but cooperate with us seamlessly. Shangguan sat down in the hall and laughed.
"Thanks to my father's scheming, we are in this situation. Shangguan Mingzhe stood in place, without the slightest joy on his face, looked up with purple eyes, and said softly.
"You don't have to be too humble, now that Heng'er has been ruined by Ziluo, it will all depend on you in the future. Although Shangguan Ao was happy that a series of troubles in the past few days had been satisfactorily resolved, deep down in his eyes, he was still worried that Shangguan Heng had become a wasted person.
On the contrary, Shangguan Mingzhe was a little ecstatic when he heard that Shangguan Heng had destroyed the foundation of Yuan Lian, all along, Shangguan Ao and the family elders were extremely partial to Shangguan Heng, and faintly regarded Shangguan Heng as the future heir of the family.
Shangguan Mingzhe, as the eldest son, was treated coldly, which made him feel resentful in his heart, and gradually he changed, becoming an ice cube without the slightest emotion, no matter how much ridicule and teasing, he didn't care, on the one hand, he used his wisdom to solve problems for Shangguan Ao, and on the other hand, he was extremely forbearant and did not show the slightest edge. Now finally let him wait for this day, and finally let him wait until he is the only heir of the Shangguan family.
"Mingzhe, what are you thinking. Shangguan Ao asked suddenly, his face was a little worried, looking at the fierce light in Mingzhe's eyes, this was the reason why he did everything possible to snub Shangguan Mingzhe.
"Luo Tian!" Shangguan Mingzhe said suddenly, his eyes revealing depth.
"Luo Tian's kid, Xiuwei was abolished by his father, and now he is just a wasted person, what do you want him to do. Shangguan Chen said contemptuously on the side, obviously not having a good impression of Mingzhe.
"The average fisherman only sees the fish on the surface, and he knows the undercurrents surging in the depths of the water. Shangguan Mingzhe said with a relaxed face, not angry at all.
"You ......" Shangguan Chen was a little annoyed, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly thought of something, stood aside angrily, and did not say any more.
"Mingzhe, you say. Shangguan Ao suddenly became interested, looking at Mingzhe, his eyes full of hope.
"Nangong Tu has a son and two daughters, son Nangong Jiannan, the two daughters are Nangong Yingyu and Nangong Yingqi, as early as more than ten years ago, I heard that the Nangong family did not hesitate to win over the Luo family with marriage in order to consolidate their power, so they will make a marriage contract with Nangong Yingyu, who is the same age as Luo Tian, but is there such a thing?" Shangguan Mingzhe said to himself, and asked rhetorically with a mysterious smile on his face after speaking.
"How long has it been, the reason why I chose Luo Kun's son at that time was because Luo Kun was still the youngest Dingyuan Realm powerhouse in Dongque at that time, and now he is already a wasted person, and Luo Tian is the same as his old son, how can the Nangong family ......" Halfway through his words, Shangguan Ao suddenly stopped talking, with playfulness in his eyes, and excitement on his face.
"In this way, we don't have to do it, we become fishermen who harvest sandpiper mussels. Shangguan Mingzhe continued, his expression still not changing much, revealing a mysterious smile.
......
Dongque Weiming City, a prosperous scene in the city, has not been affected by a series of earth-shaking events in the past few days.
The crowded streets are filled with the shouting and shouting of hawkers, and the endless stream of people arguing and greeting each other on their own, and there is a lot of noise everywhere.
Come to a high-rise building where people come and go, the high-rise vermilion lacquer blue tile, which is inlaid with a dazzling array of glass colors, all kinds of brilliant and colorful exotic gems are dotted on it, and it is like a bright star tower under the sun.
There is a plaque made of green jade stone on the door, and the word 'Qingfang' is engraved on it.
Stepping in, the first floor was full of people, all of them were idle scholars dressed as chivalrous, and there were some children of the family who were dressed in general.
On the first floor, all kinds of herbs and pills are sold, and there is an endless stream of passers-by, and several people standing at the counter are also busy.
Go to the second floor, still crowded with people, the second floor sells all kinds of weapons, looking at its exquisite workmanship, it belongs to the top grade in all iron. There are several independent counters in the depths of the second floor, and on each counter, there is a more exquisite artifact, which is undoubtedly the Yuan Ware that all Yuan Shi has in mind.
Walking towards the third floor, there were obviously fewer people, some deserted, only a few well-dressed and prominent people, walking around the counter with various colors of treasure armor.
The building is divided into nine floors, to the ninth floor, there is no display of goods, there are no merchants, the layout here is not much different from the ordinary family's houses, the furniture and decoration in it are all boutique, but it does not look complicated and tacky.
There is a strange fragrance wafting through the house, and it smells like drunkenness.
"Qingying, how about the news that asked you to inquire some time ago. I saw a woman sitting in the room with a fresh and refined appearance and a beautiful and moving appearance.
On closer inspection, this girl is really a woman named Indigo Fei'er that Luo Tian met and rescued by chance that day.
"Miss Hui, dozens of secret agents were sent, but they didn't find that person, and all the large and small family forces in Dongque searched and didn't find it. Qingying was also one of the women rescued by Luo Tian that day.
"Hmm, could it be that this person is not in Dongque, but not in Nanqiu?"
"I have already instructed the branch on the other side of Nanqiu to continue to inquire and make sure to find that person. Qingying continued.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, what have been the recent movements of the Luo family and the Han family. Indigo Fei'er suddenly looked frozen, frowning slightly, obviously annoyed at the mention of these two.
"The Han family has not moved, it has been very calm recently, but it is the Luo family ......"
"How is the Luo family?" said Indigo Fei'er suspiciously.
"The Luo family sent people here several times, hoping to meet the young lady and explain in person. Qing Ying said, and couldn't help but glance at Indigo Fei'er's demeanor.
"Hmph, I still have the face to see me, and I ordered to go down, from now on, Qingfang will not have any contact with the Luo family, even if it is the Yuan Dan in the Yuanying Pavilion, don't give them a single grain. Indigo Fei'er showed a fierce look on her face, her eyes were full of murderous intent, and she said indignantly.
Hearing this, Qingying's face was full of panic, and Vino hurriedly went out.
Leaving Indigo Fei'er to sit on the top floor alone, looking out the window, she couldn't help but laugh out of her mind without knowing what she was thinking.
Out of the green boat, all the way to the east, a large solemn city wall appeared in front of me, across the city wall, a large yellow, orange roof tile attic appeared.
This is where the imperial city of Dongque is located, and the royal family Nangong family lives in this dense palace every day.
"Princess Yingqi, you are not allowed to go out without the emperor's decree. I saw a person dressed as a palace maid chasing Yingqi in front of her, her face was a little embarrassed, and she shouted.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to care about that old fashion, I'm going to go out to find Luo Tian. Yingqi snorted coldly and ran triumphantly towards the outside of the palace.
"Who's old-fashioned. Suddenly, a deep voice remembered, and when I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe looking at Yingqi with a feigned anger on his face.
"Hmph, who else is there besides you, the Shangguan family has bullied us, and you also apologize to them, how can you have the majesty of the Dongque royal family. Yingqi said indignantly, and was about to run outside the palace.
The man in the yellow robe is named Nangong Tu, he is the current head of the Nangong family, and he is also the Ninety-Five Emperor of Dongque, for the people of Yuan Lian for generations, the so-called rights possessed by the royal family are only the right to control the exercise of a class of people who are born unable to pass through the Yuan or fail to pass the Yuan, and for a family like the Shangguan family, it has no practical significance, just a title.
Hearing his daughter fall like this, as a father, it is really angry and funny. jumped directly and blocked in front of Yingqi.
"Don't go, now it's in troubled times, if you go out rashly, how can you explain it to your mother. Nangong Tu's face was displeased, so he pretended to be angry and reprimanded.
"Hmph, no, I'm fine if the Qingqiu Emperor's Mansion is so dangerous, how can there be an accident in my own territory. Yingqi said forcefully, not giving Nangong Tu any face at all.
"That's someone protecting you along the way, otherwise your life would have been gone. Nangong Tu said angrily, feeling more and more that his daughter was rude and disobedient.
"Cut, you also know that someone has protected me all the way, that person is Luo Tian, he not only protected and took care of me along the way, but also saved my brother, if it weren't for him, you would have fainted from crying by now. The more Yingqi spoke, the more unreliable she became, and her face was full of pride.
"You, you are really presumptuous, after you come back, Luo Tian is long and Luo Tian is short, we have already thanked the Luo family for their kindness, what else are you going to do. Nangong Tu's old face changed and changed, and he scolded breathlessly, just afraid that sooner or later he would be turned on Yingqi's back.
"Old old-fashioned, I don't know what you're thinking, if Luo Tian's cultivation hadn't been abolished, and he had accepted the inheritance of the Qing Emperor, plus he was still Dean Ziluo's personal disciple, you would have taken us to visit the door a long time ago, and it would have been until now. Yingqi's eyes blinked, and the expression on her face seemed to tell me that I had seen through you old fox a long time ago.
"It's just presumptuous, now you have hard wings and want to fly, and you dare to teach your father a lesson, your mother has used you since you were a child, and you have developed such a brutal and willful temperament. Nangong Tu grabbed Yingqi, her face was red with anger, it seemed that she was really angry.
"What's the matter, you still want to beat me, I'll tell the Emperor to go and let him clean you up. Not only was Yingqi not frightened, but she took the lead and shouted that she wanted to see the imperial ancestor of the Nangong family.
When Yingqi said this, Nangong Tu was really suppressed, the anger on his face gradually eased, and he said in a good voice: "Qi'er, don't make trouble, don't you feel ashamed in public, Dad promised you that you will be allowed to see Luotian in a few days." ”
Hearing this, Yingqi's face instantly showed a smile, her eyes rolled, she looked at Nangong Tu and said, "Oh, don't go back, or I'll tell the emperor and let him spank you." ”
After listening to Nangong Tu, an old face was relieved and ashamed, thinking only about how such a disaster star was born, which was completely God's punishment for himself.
"Okay, okay, don't move out of the imperial ancestor to press your father, and also, you haven't visited his old man for a few days since you came back, and you will take the time to go another day, but his old man often misses you. Nangong Tu said kindly, pinched Yingqi's little face, and walked to the side with a smile.
