Chapter 82: First Strikes First
"Yours is real?" Ye Ming confirmed with some disbelief, there are less than twenty places for the ownerless in Fengtian Academy, and Leng Ruoxue has ten in her hands, is this possible?
"Of course it's true, this was told to me by someone from Fengtian Academy personally, and the news is absolutely accurate. Net" Xu Qian said confidently, his face full of pride.
Damn, Leng Ruoxue actually dared to lie to him! Yeming is so angry! In fact, the last time he went to the Leng family, he heard that Leng Ruoxue had a place in his hand, but he was just testing her, he didn't expect Leng Ruoxue to really have it in his hand, and even gave it away, he originally planned to use the relationship between the Leng family and Lin Liang to get a few places from Fengtian Academy, who knew that it would be unhappy later...
"Xu Qian, even if this Leng Ruoxue really has a place in the secret realm in his hands, what can we do? There are several Spirit Venerables over there! There are also divine beasts, and the ancestors of our family are all in retreat, and even if we are together, no one can beat Leng Qingtian. "Shui Qin is a little weak, of course he also wants the quota of the secret realm, but he has to grab it!
"That's why we have to join forces!" Xu Qian said a little anxiously, he was bound to get the quota in the secret realm.
After listening to Xu Qian's words, the other four people present were silent.
"And how do you think we can join forces?" After thinking for a while, Huo Yi asked, Actually, for the number of places in the secret realm, their Huo family is not lacking, so he really doesn't care about the few in Leng Ruoxue's hands, but...
"Xu Dai Family Master, although the quota of the secret realm is very tempting, but if we join forces, are you sure that you will definitely get it? What if Leng Ruoxue has already given it away? Aren't we busy in vain? Feng Miao said worriedly.
"That's right, Leng Ruoxue doesn't care as much about the quota in the secret realm as we do." Ye Ming said a little angrily, as soon as he thought of this, he was angry, that Leng Ruoxue would rather give such an important place to the servants of his own family than give them to the Ye family, hum! He won't let go of the cold snow.
"Xu Qian, if we join forces, how will the quota of the secret realm be divided?" This is the issue that Shui Qin is most concerned about, and none of the places in the secret realm are available in the Shui family, so his mood is as urgent as Xu Qian.
"Naturally, it's an equal division." Xu Qian said without hesitation.
"How? Have you decided? Xu Qian continued to ask, his vicious and fierce gaze staring closely at the other four people sitting there.
"I can't do that." Feng Miao chuckled and said, he is just an idle eater in the Feng family, such a big thing, how can he decide!
"What about you?" Xu Qian's gaze turned to the other three people, of course he knew that Feng Miao couldn't decide, so he didn't take him too seriously.
"The stakes are high, I need to go back and discuss with the elders before I can decide." Huo Yi thought for a moment.
Among the five major families, in addition to their Huo family, the Ye family and the Feng family all have places in the secret realm, so Huo Yi knows that the three of them are definitely not in a hurry, after all, after entering the secret realm, everything depends on chance, and sometimes, it is useless to have more places, and it is not necessarily more chance than others.
"I can't decide right now." Ye Ming also said immediately, he also wanted to go back and discuss with the elders of the family, after all, the Leng family...
"Brother Shui, what about you?" Xu Qian put Zuihou's hope on Shui Qin's body, and looked at him with some expectation, alas, he didn't dare to count on those people.
"I'll have to go back and talk about it, too." Shui Qin said helplessly.
"Then you all go back and discuss, and give me a letter after discussing." Xu Qian said a little helplessly.
"Okay, then let's take our leave." Huo Yi and others.
Higashichi Country, in the Imperial Garden.
In the imperial garden, a hundred flowers are blooming, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, the fragrance of flowers is pleasant, Mo Yingyue is lying comfortably on the recliner basking in the sun at this time, surrounded by flowers, and the mood is extremely comfortable.
"Niangniang, the prince asks to see you." A servant girl whispered.
"Aren't you resting at Hongu?" Mo Yingyue frowned, and said with some displeasure, until the day Mo Mingyue opened the 'Proud Building', after annoying Ruoxue, she was grounded by the head of the Mo family, and she knew very well that the Mo family's recent life was not easy, and many families who usually had close contacts with the Mo family basically did not dare to get close to the Mo family now, so her life was much better.
"Yes, but the lord of the country, he..." The maidservant was a little stumbling, not knowing how to answer.
"Where is he now?" Mo Yingyue said in a light tone.
"In the Phoenixo Palace."
"Then let's go back to the palace!" Mo Yingyue stood up from the recliner, tidied up her dress, and walked slowly in the direction of Fengzao Palace.
Back in the Fengzao Palace, Mo Yingyue saw her father, who was a little weak, sitting on a chair in a proper manner, and an old man with a serious expression sitting next to him.
"Grandpa is here too?" Mo Yingyue said with some sarcasm, her grandfather has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, it seems that this time she is really in a hurry.
"Hmm," the Mo family master raised his eyelids slightly, even if he had said hello.
"Yingyue, this time my father and grandfather came to see you, it is a very important matter." Mo Changhai said helplessly, he didn't want to come, but he was forced to come by his father...
"Oh, I don't know what's going on?" Mo Yingyue pretended to be confused, but her eyes kept glancing at Mo Changhai, alas, if her father could be tougher, he would not have been pressed by his uncle all these years, but unfortunately...
"This... This..."Mo Changhai didn't know how to open this mouth.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Leng Ruoxue?" The head of the Mo family glared at his useless eldest son and said directly.
"Okay, what's wrong?" Mo Yingyue's beautiful face was puzzled and puzzled.
"Last time Mingyue offended Leng Ruoxue, we wanted to go to the Leng family, but we have been turned away, so..."
"Grandpa, I have a relationship with Leng Ruoxue, but Leng Ruoxue's temper is very bad, so even if I fall in love, it's useless, people won't give me face at all." Mo Yingyue said with some embarrassment, and her face was full of helplessness.
"Humph! This is clearly your excuse, don't think that your position as queen is very stable, if our Mo family collapses, it will not do you any good. The Mo family's main voice said threateningly, and his face was blue with anger.
"Grandpa, even if the Mo family doesn't collapse, will my position as queen be secure?" Mo Yingyue asked softly with a smile on her face.
What do you mean by that? Are you talking back to me? The head of the Mo family roared loudly, okay, this sheep thinks that his wings are stiff and someone supports him, so he dares not to put his grandfather in his eyes, it is really unreasonable!
"How dare I talk back to my grandfather? I'm just telling the truth. Mo Yingyue said lightly, her face unusually calm.
"You... I just ask you, do you care about this? The head of the Mo family roared directly, so angry that the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his face was dark.
"It's not that I don't care, but I can't manage it." Mo Yingyue said disapprerovingly, now that I know that I am looking for her, why did I go earlier?
"Yingyue, you..." Mo Changhai opened his mouth as if he wanted something, but there was no exit in the end.
"Dad, no one in Feng doesn't know the temper of the Leng family, are the people of the Leng family so easy to provoke? Mingyue hasn't all been spoiled by you, so I can't help it. Mo Yingyue said coldly with an expressionless face.
"Come on, send the country-master and the head of the Mo family out of the palace." Mo Yingyue commanded softly.
"Yes, Guozhang, Master of the Mo family, please!" A eunuch stepped forward and said politely.
"Humph! Mo Yingyue, you will regret it. The head of the Mo family snorted coldly, and walked away without looking back, he didn't believe that a queen without family support could sit for a long time!
"How could I have such a useless son as you? I can't even take care of my own daughter! On the way out of the palace, the head of the Mo family kept reprimanding his eldest son.
"I'm sorry, Dad." Mo Changhai lowered his head, not talking, what could he do? One is a father, the other is a daughter, alas! It's all his fault!
"Guozhang, the head of the Mo family, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." A voice of surprise sounded in the ears of the two.
"It turned out to be Prime Minister Fu Cheng, hehe, it's really a coincidence!" The head of the Mo family greeted with a smile, revealing a look of joy.
"Hello Fu Xiang." Mo Changhai said politely.
"Hehe, are you two here to see the queen?" Prime Minister Fu knew the way of the adviser.
"yes, it's a matter of looking for the queen." The head of the Mo family said in a flat tone, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
"But it has something to do with the Leng family?" Fu Cheng asked concerningly.
"Hmm." The head of the Mo family nodded helplessly, this is no secret in Fengdu for a long time, just because of Leng Ruoxue's words, their Mo family has almost no place in Fengdu.
"Alas! This Leng family has always been domineering, but this time it is really a bit excessive, your Mo family is also the in-laws of the royal family, so how can the Leng family be so unreasonable? It's not a big deal, it's just a conflict in the child's family, why involve the family! Prime Minister Fu Cheng said unevenly, as if his family had been squeezed out, and the expression on his face was called sincerity!
"That's right, I also know that the Leng family is not easy to mess with, but I didn't expect the Leng family to have such a lot of energy, and now almost no family dares to deal with our Mo family." The head of the Mo family said with a worried face, at this moment, he had turned Fu Cheng into a bosom friend, and he was spitting out his suffering.
"It's not because the Instrumentalist Guild is backing her up! You also know those people who dare to offend the Artifact Guild! Prime Minister Fu Cheng's face was full of sympathy, but deep down he was jealous and was about to go crazy, why did the Leng family have such good luck and actually made the people of the Instrument Master Guild look at each other differently...
"Alas! Could it be that our Mo family is really going to decline? "The head of the Mo family is very unwilling, their Mo family is rising, how can they fall?
"Actually, not necessarily, as long as your Mo family can find a strong backstage, in that case, the Leng family can't do anything about you." Prime Minister Fu proposed.
"Backstage? In this situation of our Mo family, where can we find the backstage? What's more, I don't have that way, do I? The head of the Mo family said a little depressedly.
Their Mo family may still be ranked in the Dongchi Kingdom, but compared with the five great families and the royal family, it is still far behind, just take the Feng family, one of the five major families in the Dongchi Kingdom, if he wants to visit the Feng family, he will not be able to see the head of the family at all, and it is very good to have an elder to receive him.
"I have the way, but I don't know if the head of the Mo family will be interested." Prime Minister Fu Cheng said with some uncertainty, and a deep calculation flashed in his eyes.
"Fu Xiang, come and listen?" The head of the Mo family said very eagerly, as long as there is a glimmer of hope now, he will not give up.
"It's inconvenient to talk here, you and I come." Prime Minister Fu looked around vigilantly and said in his heart.
"Okay, Changhai, you go back first, my father has something to discuss with Prime Minister Fu Cheng." The head of the Mo family commanded his eldest son.
"Yes, Dad." After Mo Changhai glanced at Prime Minister Fu Cheng, he obediently turned around and left.
Subsequently, the head of the Mo family and Prime Minister Fu left the palace together...
Leng General's Mansion, listen to Xue Xuan.
"Sister, Huangfu Lian and the fire are here." Green Peach stood outside the cold and snowy door, knocked on the door, and whispered.
"Got it." Inside the house, Leng Ruoxue answered.
"Cher, aren't we done yet?" The demon who is playing Go with Leng Ruoxue is a little dissatisfied.
"The person who comes is a guest, and I will continue in a while, or you and Dongfang Yunxia can do it, I'll take a look." Leng Ruoxue coaxed a little helplessly.
"I don't want to go down with him." The demon and Dongfang Yun, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, roared in unison, and both of them had a disgusted expression on their faces.
"Then come with me to meet the guests!" Leng Ruoxue glanced at the two of them, and then left the room directly.
"Cher, wait for me!" The demon hurriedly followed.
"I'll go too!" Dongfang Yun was not far behind and chased after him.
Leng Ruoxue and the three of them came to the living room and saw that grandpa was greeting Huangfu Lian and Huoqing.
"Grandpa!" Leng Ruoxue first said hello to her grandfather, and then turned her head to look at the fire and Huangfu Lian.
"How did you two get together?" Leng Ruoxue said curiously, is the relationship between these two so good now?
"Huangfu Lian wants to come to see you, so I'll come with me." Huo Qing explained that since that day, he had never dared to come to the Leng family, and today he also came through the light of Huangfu Lian, otherwise, he was really afraid that if he came alone, Ruoxue would directly not let him in.
"Oh." Leng Ruoxue's gaze turned to Huangfu Lian, this gentle and handsome young prince, it should be as simple as just coming to see her, right?
"I brought some specialties from Nanxi Kingdom, which my mother asked me to bring to you." Huang Fu Lian explained very honestly, his eyes didn't dare to look directly at Leng Ruoxue, and his cheeks were slightly red.
Looking at this shy prince, Leng Qingtian couldn't help but sigh lightly, such a man can't catch up with his granddaughter, it seems that the queen of Nanxi Kingdom's mind is in vain.
"Trouble the prince for my queen xiexie's mind." Leng Ruoxue politely said.
"Okay." Huangfu Lian nodded, and stopped talking.
"Dongfang Yun, don't you want to find someone to talk to? You can find the fire. Glancing at the fire, Leng Ruoxue said suddenly.
"Ugh!" Dongfang Yun will be dizzy when he hears the word "sparring" now, because the experience of the last sparring really impressed him, and he can't forget it no matter what, thinking of this, he can't help but look at the culprit who caused him so much, in the future, he doesn't dare to find someone to learn from casually, woo... Shame on you!
"Brother Dongfang wants to fight with me? All right! "On the day of the opening of the 'Proud Building', after meeting Dongfang Yun, he always wanted to find a chance to compete with Dongfang Yun.
"No, I'm not in the mood to fight right now." Dongfang Yun said a little weakly, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.
"Oh, then when you're in the mood, feel free to come to me!" The fire situation is not reluctant, anyway, Dongfang Yun can't run, they will have the opportunity to learn in the future.
They chatted for a while, and then left the two of them to have dinner together, and then sent them away.
After Leng Ruoxue sent the two away, she returned to Tingxue Xuan with the demon.
"Xue'er, why did the queen of Nanxi Kingdom bring you a specialty?" The demon looked at the package on the table, and said with some puzzlement, if you want to pursue Xue'er, you should bring something valuable, right?
"I don't know." Leng Ruoxue also felt a little strange, she and the queen of Nanxi Kingdom only had a one-sided relationship, although the queen was friends with her mother, but...
Leng Ruoxue opened the package, it was indeed some specialties of Nanxi Kingdom, and there was nothing special about it...
"Cher, what is this?" Suddenly there was an extra bamboo tube in the demon's hand, and the bamboo tube was thinner than the baby's finger, about five centimeters.
"Where did it come from?" Leng Ruoxue took the bamboo tube in the demon's hand and asked.
"Found here." The demon pointed to the clusters of red fruits and explained.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the bunches of red fruits, and compared the bamboo tube she picked up, this bamboo tube was very similar to the stems of those red fruits, if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see it.
Leng Ruoxue opened the bamboo tube, there was a thin letter inside, she took out the letter, and the more she looked at it, the more solemn her face became.
"Cher, what's wrong?" The demon said with a puzzled face.
"See for yourself!" Leng Ruoxue didn't explain, and directly handed the letter to the demon.
The demon took the letter with some suspicion, looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Nanxi Kingdom wants to form an alliance with us?" That's a good thing, but..."
"Let's go see Grandpa."
"Okay."
When she arrived at Leng Qingtian's study, Leng Ruoxue took out the letter and handed it to her grandfather.
"Cher, this... What are you going to do? Leng Qingtian couldn't help but ask, is the Xu family really restless? Even the royal family was in touch.
"I'd like to hear Grandpa's opinion." Leng Ruoxue said calmly, with her current strength, it is not difficult to deal with a Xu family, but if the Xu family has too many allies, she is not really sure.
"The Xu family will find allies, won't we? Since the royal family of Nanxi Kingdom has such sincerity, then we have no reason to refuse. Leng Qingtian thought about it and analyzed, he had long hated the Xu family, and now the hateful Xu family actually came to beat his granddaughter's idea again, and he must not be spared!
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded, she also meant this, perhaps, now she should go to meet the ancestor of Dongchi Kingdom, the old man had some unfinished words last time.
Late at night, a side hall of the Imperial Palace of Dongchi Kingdom.
A huge black eagle landed directly here, Leng Ruoxue and the demon jumped down from Yu's back, and casually looked at the remote palace.
It was a very desolate palace, the decoration of the hall was old, and the only flower garden was full of life, and the flowers in it were in full bloom in the night.
"Come in!" An old voice sounded in the cold night, and then the hall became bright.
Leng Ruoxue and the demon directly pushed open the door of the palace and walked straight in.
"Sit down, doll." The old man in the cyan cloth said lightly.
“xiexie。” Leng Ruoxue and the demon found a place to sit down casually, but none of the three of them spoke first, but looked at each other.
"My girl doll, why do you always like to go to other people's houses in the middle of the night." After a long time, the old man teased, with a playful look in his somewhat cloudy eyes.
"In the dead of night, everyone is asleep, and it's more convenient to do bad things!" Leng Ruoxue had a few drops of cold sweat dripping on her forehead, and said disapprovingly, she is not a shy white rabbit, as long as it is what she wants to do, she doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.
The old man was speechless, this cold snow face was thicker than he had imagined.
"Doll, girl, what's the matter with you coming to me?" The old man continued.
"Don't you have anything to do with me?" Leng Ruoxue didn't answer and asked, no one refused to come up with their own purpose first.
This fox, why are the people of the Leng family so difficult? The old man was in his heart.
"Doll, I know something, it should be very helpful to you." The old man saw that Leng Ruoxue, the fox, did not take the bait, so he had to throw the bait first.
"The Xu family." The old man only said two words, and he didn't speak, just stared at Leng Ruoxue with those cloudy eyes.
"Hehe, the Xu family is very ambitious, and it's not just me who has to deal with it!" Leng Ruoxue said clearly, don't think that she doesn't know the Xu family's every move, she has been paying attention to it since she got some news.
"Female doll, you, what do you want to do, I fully cooperate." The old man sighed helplessly and said, the Xu family is indeed a big problem for Dongchi Kingdom.
"We can be allies for a while." Leng Ruoxue proposed.
"Weishenme is temporary?" The old man asked, a little puzzled.
"When this matter is over, we will return to the bridge, return to the road, and go our own way!" Leng Ruoxue explained that she didn't want to have too much to do with the royal family.
"Female doll, you hate royal people so much?" The old man said with some understanding, although General Leng is the pillar of the country, but the people of the Leng family don't like to have anything to do with the royal family, which really makes him unable to figure it out.
"Sort of!" Leng Ruoxue is very faceless.
"Alas!"
"Female doll, do you have any jihua?" The old man asked a little helplessly.
"I've decided to strike first!" Leng Ruoxue explained that she has never been a person who sits idly by, and since the enemy wants to deal with her, of course she can't give them enough time to prepare, so when she knew the news, she was already planning, but later, things changed a little, so she wanted to find a few allies.
"Strike first? Are you sure? The old man asked with interest.
"You'll know then." Leng Ruoxue deliberately sold Guan Zi's way.
"What do you need me to do, that doll?" The old man took the initiative to ask, since he wants to form an alliance, he can't do nothing and enjoy the results, right?
"I need you to clean up the moths in Dongchi Kingdom first, and the rest will depend on the situation when the time comes." Leng Ruoxue said simply, she wants to cut off the lackeys of the Xu family first, and then deal with the Xu family.
"There's nothing wrong with that." The old man said happily, he had wanted to clean up those people for a long time, but he had never thought of a good reason, but now it seems that he doesn't need any reason.
After Leng Ruoxue negotiated with the old man and concluded an alliance contract, she quietly left.
After leaving the palace of Dongchi Kingdom, Leng Ruoxue and the demon rushed to Nanxi Kingdom overnight.
After flying non-stop for nearly three days, Yu finally arrived at the moon capital of Nanxi Kingdom.
After entering the Nanxi Kingdom, it was the afternoon, Leng Ruoxue and the demon found an inn casually, ate something, took a simple rest, and waited until late at night, and quietly sneaked into the palace of the Nanxi Kingdom.
Familiar with the way to find the Fengyi Hall where the queen of Nanxi Country lived, Leng Ruoxue asked Ling to cast a stealth spell on the two of them, and the two walked towards the inner hall as if no one was around.
"Xue'er, isn't it okay for us to just break in like this?" The demon said with a slight concern on his face, and his cheeks flushed.
"Weishenme is not good? Only then will no one find out! Leng Ruoxue said incomprehensibly, her face was full of doubts, what does the demon mean?
"I mean, in case a couple is ... Wouldn't it be a good thing for us to go in directly! "The demon is very considerate.
"Dead demon, aren't you looking for a beating? What's going on with your thoughts? Leng Ruoxue was full of black lines, and he said speechlessly, he really lost his mind to the demons.
"Cher, it's not impossible, is it?" The demon was very aggrieved and defended.
"What then? Are we going to go in or not going in? "Leng Ruoxue was also a little hesitant, after all, they were here to form an alliance with Nanxi Kingdom, if they really bumped into each other... It's not good.
The demon thought for a moment and put his ear to the window of the inner sanctum...
"Cher, let's go in!" For a long time, the demon said.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue pushed open the door of the inner hall, and the two walked in...
Three days later, Leng Ruoxue and the demon returned to the General's Mansion.
"Cher, you're back so soon?" Leng Qingtian looked at his precious granddaughter who appeared in his study and said with some surprise.
"Hmm."
"It's all done?" Leng Qingtian couldn't help but ask.
"It's all done." Cold as snow simple road.
"Stinky girl, can't you say a few more words? You want to kill grandpa and me in a hurry, don't you? Leng Qingtian was a little anxious, he had been waiting for Xue'er's news, but this stinky girl had to ask and answer, and wanted to make him anxious!
