In that powerful family, the negotiations that everyone was waiting for had not yet begun, and both sides seemed to be intent on showing tenacity and perseverance before the negotiations, and engaged in a battle of hearts.

In front of a flowing river, surrounded by green trees, in the elegant hut, the Great Elder and the others seemed to enjoy this kind of guest life, as if they had forgotten that the entire capital was under martial law, just to arrest them and their group.

The people who followed the Great Elder had only the Great Elder in their eyes, waiting for his orders at any time, and the wind outside was deaf.

The holy woman who entered the plug for the first time was a little worried, and her maid was like sitting on pins and needles, with blisters on her mouth and acne on her face.

"Your Highness, if you don't talk about the good negotiations, if you don't talk about it, we have to withdraw quickly, the wind outside is getting tighter and tighter."

"That's it, I heard that I've been checking here recently, and if someone blocks it one day, I won't be able to leave."

"Your Highness, our lives are nothing, but Your Highness is heavier than Mount Tai."

"That's enough."

The saint finally spoke, her heart was already in turmoil, and she really couldn't stand the chatter of the people around her.

"This time, the Holy Lord has already issued a decree, and everything is subject to the arrangement of the Great Elder, have you forgotten?"

She also felt panic from time to time, but when she saw the Great Elder's calm demeanor, she had no choice but to calm down. The Great Elder has been in and out of the mainland countless times, which one is not like entering a no-man's land? The Great Elder went to Beijing specifically to protect her safety this time, so naturally he had his arrangements.

She also knew that the Holy Lord had not sent her to lead the negotiations this time, but purely because of her special status.

Her master, the previous saintess, had a very good relationship with the head of this powerful family, and personal friendship was very beneficial to facilitate negotiations, as for the interests, neither side would make much concessions, and private friendship was nothing more than a lubricant, which could play a role at a critical moment.

In the White Lotus Sect, the status of the Holy Maiden is second only to the Sect Master, and if the Sect Leader is not there, or if she is unable to take care of things because of things, the Holy Maiden has the right to command the entire White Lotus Sect, which cannot be replaced by any Dharma Protector Elder.

In the previous elections of the head of the church, the saints have enjoyed a veto, which shows the uniqueness of their status. To put it bluntly, the saint is also the master, the sacred symbol of the Church. Therefore, each saint is personally selected by the sect leader and carefully cultivated by his own hands, which is to prevent the saint from once her power is consolidated, her ambition swells, and then she wrestles with the sect leader, which will lead to sect splits, and other sects have had similar situations.

The situation of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect who entered Beijing this time is relatively special, her master is still there, although she is half-destroyed and gives up the throne of the Holy Maiden, in fact, she is still acting as a Holy Maiden, which is a typical hidden but not retreating, and the new Holy Maiden is in the cultivation stage and does not really have real power.

Dinner was as grand as ever, sumptuous and luxurious.

Half are the traditions of the Mongolian steppes: mare's milk wine, horse*, milk tofu, finger meat, roasted whole lamb, kebabs, freshly roasted naan, etc. There are also half of the capital's first-class delicacies, all kinds of stir-frying, cooking, frying and stewing, the sea, land and air delicacies are almost the same, although the people in charge of this family avoid it, but there is no sloppiness in entertaining guests.

The Great Elder didn't touch those authentic flavors from the prairie, although in the capital, those might be more precious. He ate those small dishes that others rarely cooked, and bowls of boiled old wine.

There is a vulgar saying: it is not food that eats, but feelings.

However, this sentence really responded to Xiao Yanfeng's scene at this time, he was indeed not focusing on eating and drinking, but savoring the feelings of the past.

Although in the past in the mainland, the life of the White Lotus Sect was not easy, but for him, it was still at ease. Now that he is far away, he has lost his home and country, and he is living under the protection of aliens, and he has tasted enough of this kind of parasitic fence. Returning to the mainland legally and reviving the prestige of the sect was his greatest long-cherished wish in life.

This time, the White Lotus Sect Master finally said that he had moved the King of Alta, and planned to concentrate all his efforts on attacking Guannai, and once again come to the city of Beijing, and he would not withdraw his troops after showing off his might like last time, but to force the Ming Dynasty court to agree to the conditions of the King of Altan and the White Lotus Sect.

This time, he is shouldering an important mission, whether he can successfully sign an alliance with the imperial court and force him to submit, the key lies in whether these powerful families in Beijing agree to cooperate with the outside and attack from the inside. Thinking of this, Xiao Yanfeng's heart was a little heavy.

After the meal, the Great Elder and the Holy Maiden sat at a table and looked at the information sent outside, a large part of which was about the situation, which was also the core of the Great Elder's attention, the personnel of the White Lotus Sect in the capital were really capable, and they got a lot of information in a few days.

Moreover, the information during his stay in Beijing was easy to obtain, and the White Lotus Sect had already mastered it, and as the number one powerful person in the imperial court, the White Lotus Sect would certainly not let him go. Regarding the information of Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng and others, they have collected it more than ten years ago, and it has been uninterrupted, and the information of the former court cabinet boss, the White Lotus Sect has also collected it very completely. In terms of intelligence gathering, the White Lotus Sect was superior to the imperial court.

The imperial court also wanted to collect information on King Alta and Zhao Quan and others in many ways, and tried every possible way, but in the end only a small part could be collected.

"Shameless." The Great Elder looked at it, and suddenly slapped the case and became angry.

The holy maiden opposite him and the maids and subordinates standing left and right were all startled, the great elder easily did not get angry, once he got angry, it would be terrible, and there would basically be a scene of countless heads falling to the ground and blood flowing like a river.

"What's wrong?" The saint asked hurriedly.

In this case, she was the only one who dared to ask, and in the sect, the status of the Holy Maiden was actually higher than that of the Great Elder.

"Look at it, it's just that they risked their merits to receive rewards, and they dared to create such shameless rumors." The Great Elder showed the Holy Maiden a page.

After reading it, the holy woman smiled bitterly and said: "It is common for civil and military officials of the imperial court to falsify their merits, so why should the Great Elder be angry. ”

Several maids and subordinates quietly looked at the piece of paper, which turned out to be a commendation order from the imperial court for leading people to exterminate the three holy envoys of the White Lotus Sect.

"Falsifying merit is nothing, but they actually said that our three holy envoys would hide in a cave of unknown beasts in Yanshan, isn't this slander? Even if the Three Holy Envoys were really hiding in the cave, they would not be killed by a group of incompetent brocade guards, it was simply too shameless. The more the Great Elder spoke, the more angry he became, and a canopy of snow-white beard flew up.

Only then did the Holy Maiden and the others understand the source of the Great Elder's anger, it turned out that the imperial court was too clumsy in fading, and it was simply a slander against the three holy envoys.

Although the three holy envoys did not have the skills of the Great Elder, they would not be defeated by the Jinyi Guard. If it is really discussed, two of the three of them can destroy half of the elite of the Jinyiwei Headquarters, this is still piggybacking, if they do their best, it is basically a group annihilation.

"This must have been done by the Ouchi guards, and the emperor wanted to give his little favorite minister an official and a knight, so he put the credit on that playboy." The saint snorted coldly.

"That's not either." The Great Elder's expression suddenly darkened.

The people around were a little strange, and they didn't know what the Great Elder had discovered.

"It would be nice if the Ouchi guards did it." The Great Elder sighed softly.

Regarding the death of the Three Holy Envoys, the people of the White Lotus Sect here in Beijing have also done some investigations, and they know that the Ouchi guards did dispatch for this matter, but later they could not find out who the Three Holy Envoys died at. Although there are a few people in Beijing who can kill the Three Holy Envoys, the most likely one is the Ouchi guards.

"It can't be Luo Devil and their people secretly poisoning them, right?" The saint's heart suddenly moved.

Luo Devil is Rosie, the leader of the Ancestor Protector Sect, who once made the Great Elder miserable, and even her master was half-destroyed, so the people of the White Lotus Sect always hated Rosie, but if they wanted to find trouble with Rosie in Beijing, it would be tantamount to asking for trouble, and the Ancestor Protector Sect was an organization that could be put on the table, unlike them who could only act secretly.

"This time it's not like Luo Devil's hand, if their people are careful, they can indeed kill the three holy envoys, but they don't have the ability to do it so weirdly." The Great Elder sighed.

"Weird?" The saint and the others did not understand.

"Didn't you notice? The heads of the three holy envoys are always dripping blood, and it seems that they will never be finished, how much blood can a person have, and how much time can it be dripped? The blood dripping from each of the heads of the Three Holy Envoys was more than the blood in the bodies of a hundred people, which was extremely abnormal. When the Great Elder said this, there was a slight fear on his face.

The Great Elder is really not exaggerating, he did do experiments, at first he was just curious about how long it would take for a person to drain the blood of his whole body if he continued to bleed, he grabbed a few opponents, did scientific experiments one by one, hung a person upside down, cut an opening on his body and bleed.

As a result, due to various reasons, mainly the blood from the wound often coagulates automatically, so the time varies, but the longest person did not survive the day, generally speaking, the blood in the body will be drained within a few hours, this is still a slow drop of blood, if it is a major artery bleeding, it only takes a few minutes to finish.

If you are here, you can tell him more precisely how long it takes for the human arteries and general blood vessels to drain the blood of the whole body.

When he began this experiment, he was not motivated by curiosity to show his brutality, but later he learned to use a form of torture, which is to bleed people, and in the process of bloodletting constantly reminding the inmates how much time they have to live.

The Great Elder is in charge of the Daode Hall in the sect, which sounds like a hall for preaching and edification, but it is not, and the people within the White Lotus Sect call it the Hell Hall. Daodaotang is not moral at all, and enjoys almost the same notoriety as Liu Shouyou's Beizhen Fusi.
