Suddenly!

A wind blew through the dark alley mouth, making a rustling sound.

At this moment, in the darkness in the distance, a ghostly figure stepped out.

He walked to a plane tree, looked to the left and right, and when he was sure that no one was following, he learned the sound of the cooing bird, and cooed twice.

If that Du Yidao is here, he will definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, this figure is the chief military advisor of their Du family, Cao Bin!

Cao Bin's birdsong was still echoing in the air, and I saw a woman wearing a black gauze skirt and a black gauze on her face, gently opening the sycamore and drifting down.

Seeing this woman coming, Cao Bin immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Subordinate Cao Bin, I've seen the princess!"

This girl in black, like Gu Qingcheng, is also a princess.

It's just that she is not the princess of the Gu family, but the princess of the Xia family in the former dynasty, named Xia Ning'er.

A year ago, the Xia family was still the owner of this land.

At that time, it was not the four major families.

It's the five families!

Respect the Xia family!

It's just that one Jiazi ago, the Gu family took advantage of the death of his grandfather, the incompetence of his father and brother, and the absence of a successor to the family, so they united with the other three major families and raised troops to seize their Xia family.

Xia Ning'er looked at Cao Bin in front of her and asked expressionlessly, "Sir, how are things arranged?" ”

Cao Bin replied: "If you go back to the princess, everything has been arranged!" ”

Xia Ning'er nodded with satisfaction: "Sir, this palace has always been very relieved." ”

"By the way, sir, do you know anything about that loose cultivator Li Chen?"

Cao Bin paused, shook his head and said, "Then Li Chen was brought by Chen Xuanli of the Zhou family, and he has only been in the royal city for a few days. All the information about him is still blank! ”

Xia Ning'er pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, do you say that this Zhou family wants to follow the example of the Gu family back then and become the overlord here?" ”

Cao Bin thought for a while and responded: "There is such a possibility, but the current situation is not clear, and it is not easy for subordinates to make assertions!" ”

Xia Ning'er didn't get a definite answer, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Immediately, she swirled lightly and asked, "Is it possible to win him over?" ”

Cao Bin paused for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's difficult, this person is extremely arrogant, even the royal family Gu family, it is estimated that he didn't pay attention to it!" ”

After hearing the negative answer, a touch of gloom appeared in Xia Ning'er's deep and bright eyes.

"Okay, there's Mr. Lao, you go get busy!"

Cao Bin heard that there was tiredness in Xia Ning'er's tone, and he wanted to say something to comfort him, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he forcibly swallowed it back again.

"Princess, subordinates retire!"

After seeing Cao Bin's figure disappear into the night, Xia Ning'er leaned on the plane tree alone, a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, looking up at the sky.

At this time, a gust of night wind suddenly blew, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Xia Ning'er held her arms in her hands, quietly enjoying this boundless loneliness.

At this moment, how much she needs a shoulder to rely on.

But the father and brother are incompetent, and the country is big, and they are buried cleanly.

The hatred of the country and the family made her a weak woman who had to face it strongly.

After stopping for a long time in the dark night, Xia Ning'er found a piece of tortoise shell from her body.

The tortoiseshell is covered with a faint star, and if you look closely, you can see the mottled lines on it.

This is one of the tortoiseshell fragments of the Beichen Emperor Cave.

If you want to revenge the country, the only way to enter the emperor's cave and obtain the inheritance and treasure in it is the only way.

It's a pity that she only has such a piece in her hands. If you want to get the remaining six pieces and combine them into one, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

At the same time, the Zhou family:

After the Tianjiao banquet, Li Chen returned here with Ji Ling'er.

He didn't explain anything to Zhou Zheng about the things at the banquet, as if he was nothing, he went straight to his room.

However, this caused an uproar for the entire Zhou family.

Zhou Zheng, an old fox, is keenly aware that this matter is definitely not that simple, and the Du family will never give up.

Therefore, he convened the top of the family overnight and held an emergency meeting to discuss the next response.

The high-level officials of the Zhou family, especially those worshippers, were very dissatisfied with Li Chen, a young and frivolous cultivator who did not know the height of the sky.

Especially when they heard that the prince Zhou Ao, adding fuel and vinegar, and telling Li Chen about the Tianjiao banquet, they even led everyone's dissatisfaction to the high court.

Soon, the vast majority of people at the top reached a unified consensus to expel Li Chen!

Chen Xuanli is the only one who opposes this.

Although Chen Xuanli is highly respected in the Zhou family, he is weak alone and cannot resist the trend of the general trend.

Although Zhou Zheng didn't want to expel Li Chen, a genius, but the general trend in front of him was the inevitable trend, and Rao was the head of the family, and he couldn't go against the trend.

After Zhou Zheng and Chen Xuanli had a brief discussion, he came forward to negotiate with Li Chen.

Seeing Chen Xuanli with an apologetic face, Li Chen had already guessed his intention.

In this regard, he didn't have any extra nonsense, and immediately nodded.

"Okay, I got it!"

Immediately, Li Chen turned sideways and shouted behind him.

"Ling'er, let's go!"

At this moment, Chen Xuanli suddenly stepped forward and blocked Li Chen's way.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen frowned slightly and asked, "What, is there anything else?" ”

Chen Xuanli hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Chen Xiaoyou, I have a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Li Chen stared at Chen Xuanli for a while, and said coldly: "Since you don't know it yourself, why do you have to ask me if you don't talk about it?" ”

"Ugh!"

Chen Xuanli was speechless by Li Chen's words, he gritted his teeth, and still said cheekily:

"Little friend Li Chen, our Zhou family is willing to spend a high price to buy the tortoise shell fragment in your hand. Moreover, it will also ensure the personal safety of you and Miss Ling'er. I will never let the people of the Nadu family hurt a single hair of you, you see......"

When he said this, Chen Xuanli didn't continue. His somewhat cloudy eyes flashed with expectation, and he looked at Li Chen quietly.

Li Chen sneered coldly and asked rhetorically, "Is your Zhou family trying to rob while the fire is on?" ”

Chen Xuanli shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no, Li Chen Xiaoyou, you misunderstood." It's just that there is a saying in the saying: the puppet is not guilty and guilty. I'm just worried that that thing might cause some petty covetousness and kill you! ”

Hearing Chen Xuanli's words, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen's mouth.

"I don't know, the Xiaoxiao in Old Chen's mouth also includes your Zhou family?"
