"In that case, you shouldn't have to worry." Hit by the continuous sudden events, King Yong never dreamed that the terminally ill imperial brother would let Du Yun, an old dog, go to the Heavenly Altar.

He had only one thought at this time, to end this time-wasting congregation as soon as possible.

"It's... Since there are white valves and heavenly altars out together, there is nothing to worry about. Liu Xingyun took the lead in expressing his position, and the elders and deacons of the other clans had no objections, and they all nodded in agreement.

Only Du Pingye, who was sitting on the side, secretly rejoiced in his heart. The purpose of delaying King Yong has been achieved, and he has got another good news, that is, the Tianqi Altar went out of the mountain to investigate the matter of Yuntian Sect. However, it didn't take long for the glimmer of joy in his mind to form a haze, and he was worried that the Holy Envoy of the Heavenly Altar would be used to investigate the attack on the four tribes.

But at this time, I can't take care of so much, so I have to take one step at a time. Du Pingye clapped his hands lightly, got up from the banquet and deliberately arched his hand to King Yong, and with a wicked smile on his face, he disappeared into the crowd of all ethnic groups, and withdrew from the palace hall of the Ministry of Officials together.

Outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Xuanlong Temple, the famous ladies of Dragon City gathered on the stone steps, and were about to step into the temple, and the guards of the various provinces behind them blocked the pilgrims under the stone steps early in the periphery.

Six or seven noble ladies were dressed luxuriously, and some even applied fragrant powder to the face, and a strong smell of rouge was mixed with the incense. The many pilgrims and the guards of the various provinces under the stone steps held each other in front of the stone steps, and none of them dared to step forward.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that these noble ladies in front of them were all the wives or inner chambers of the powerful ministers in Dragon City, unless they were pilgrims from other states and counties who were suspicious of their lives, they dared to step forward to compete for the head pillar incense.

The faces of the noble ladies were filled with haughty expressions, and they slowly walked towards the main gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the original smug expressions suddenly froze on their faces, and they did not have the arrogance they had at the beginning.

Standing on the far right, a noble lady in a purple brocade dress couldn't believe her eyes, she tilted her head sideways in surprise, and said to Mrs. Shangguan beside her, "Sister, do you see it too?" ”

"Hmm..."Mrs. Shangguan just nodded her head slightly, glanced at the concubine of the Ministry of Rites who had changed her complexion, and said softly and comfortingly, "Lady Ru must not be angry, isn't it just the incense of the head, and it is nothing if someone robs her first." ”

Mrs. Ru in the mouth of Shangguan is a concubine of Li Fengna, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, because of the delicate national color of the birth, Li Feng is deeply loved, but she has never been able to conceive a child, so she believes that the incense of Xuanlong Temple can get an heir, so she relies on the power of her husband's family to take the head of the pillar incense.

At first, several noble ladies always fought for red faces, and once Mrs. Ru even instigated her husband, Li Feng, to accompany her husband Li Feng in person, to compete for the pillar incense of Xuanlong Temple.

When he came to the stone arch bridge, he met other noblewomen in the city, either the insiders of prominent families in the Dragon City, or the wives and daughters of powerful ministers in the court. Fortunately, the Chang Sui Shanyan on the side had important documents in the Ministry of Rites, otherwise Li Feng would definitely be crippled by his concubine.

"Who are you? Why are you here? ”

The ladies looked at a middle-aged man who came out of the hall of the Great Majesty, wearing a red robe, and walked towards them from a distance. Mrs. Ru was the first to ask.

Except for the Shangguan woman who shook her head at her sister and forcibly grabbed her, the rest of the noble ladies stepped forward with Mrs. Ru, and everyone waited outside the Xuanlong Temple for so long, but they wanted to see who robbed them of the incense stick.

The Luofu Dynasty is respected by the Li family, although there are many powerful people in Longcheng who are attached to the Yongwang Mansion, the Broken Army General's Mansion, the White Valve and the other three lords, but in the end, they still need to rely on the powerful ministers.

In the Dragon City, and even in the entire southern territory of Luofu, it is of course the Emperor Ming who has the supreme supreme, but the emperor will definitely retreat when he comes to the Xuanlong Temple. And the noble lady who comes here to burn incense and worship the Buddha on weekdays relies on the power of her husband's family behind her.

After Emperor Ming, King Yong and Yang Zhentian, who were the leaders of the two armies, were the first, and the two of them were in charge of the two most elite armies of the Li clan.

This was followed by the four major lords of Bai, Su, Shen, and Li, who acted together with Gaozu and followed Emperor Wu to level the southern border and expel the former dynasty from Luofu.

Later, it was the turn of the four major families of Shangguan, Ouyang, Liu, and Han, who provided a lot of money and grain and grass when the Li royal family and the previous dynasty fought against Hongchuan in the north of the wasteland, and were appreciated by Gaozu, so they were in charge of Luofu's money, and were knighted, hereditary.

Then Fang is the important ministers of the court who are attached to the Yongwang Mansion, the Broken Army General's Mansion and the Four Great Gate Lords.

After that, the next ones are the magnates of Dragon City, and the governors of other provinces, states and counties, and so on. Although they are powerful, they may not have real power in their hands, and those governors of a state who are arrogant in the state and county can only listen to Longcheng, let alone their wives and concubines.

At the end of the list, and at the bottom of the entire pyramid, there are the hundreds of trillions of people of the Luofu Dynasty, who support every layer of power like slaves until the end of their lives.

Identity, status, and the intertwining of the clan gates made an invisible and huge net form on the entire Luofu Continent, encompassing everyone in it, unable to break free.

And on weekdays, these noble ladies who come to Xuanlong Temple to worship the Buddha have become good sisters, and Mrs. Ru, who is the royal family, relied on her husband to be the Shangshu Li Feng of the Ministry of Rites, and became the leader of everyone, and she took a group of noble ladies to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

I saw a person wearing a red robe, with a tall figure, a thin face, a fluttering green beard, and a heroic spirit. Mrs. Wenru reprimanded, and laughed loudly, "Don't be surprised, ladies, how dare you compete with the ladies for incense." ”

After a while, a group of noble ladies came to the door of the main hall, and Mrs. Ru looked at the middle-aged man in a red robe and said, "It turns out that it is the owner of the willow workshop of Yuquanfang." ”

The tone gradually softened a lot, although the ladies had never been to Yuquanfang, after all, it was a place for the men of Longcheng to enjoy themselves, but Liu Xingyi, the owner of Yuquanfang, had seen them a few times in the mansion.

"Ladies, please"

Liu Xing moved to his side and led the ladies to the Daxiong Treasure Hall. He stood alone outside the temple gate, with the usual smile on his face.

Since the head pillar incense was not seized by others, the noblewomen no longer paid attention to why Liu Xingyi suddenly appeared here, after all, it was their purpose to come to Xuanlong Temple to enter the incense, who didn't want to give their husband an heir, so as to further the status of the mansion.

And in the crowd of Shangguan's wife but a sad face, since Shangguan Junqian's accident, she came to Xuanlong Temple every day to pray for blessings, hoping that the Buddha can bless the only son of the Shangguan family to wake up early.

Although Gao Dongzi personally healed, Shangguan Junqian's injuries still did not improve at all, so that all the noblewomen were happy, but only Shangguan's wife looked lost, fortunately her sister came to accompany her today.
