Chapter 225: A word determines life and death

The capital of the Oolong Empire, as the political, economic and cultural center of the entire empire, the degree of prosperity is naturally the best among all the county towns, looking from afar, all kinds of buildings are lined up one after another, with a special imperial atmosphere, close to see all kinds of streets like spider webs, extending in all directions, the streets are full of people, all kinds of costumes can be seen everywhere, and the noise can be heard even hundreds of miles away. 【Reading.com】

And because the capital is located on an endless plain, it is like a prostrate oolong, living in the center, overlooking all directions, intimidating the heroes.

Generally speaking, the capital of the empire has a strict distinction, and the same is true of the Oolong Empire, the entire capital is divided into three central areas, the outermost is the place where the merchants and ordinary people live, and it is also the most lively place, with a variety of new and strange items, enough to blind everyone's eyes, and the branch halls of various chambers of commerce and blood alliances are also in this area.

Walking inside is the residence of the princes and ministers, and there is a slight distinction between them because of their official positions, among which the higher status is closer to the imperial city in the central area, and the lower status is only closer to the merchant area.

The Xue family is the one with the high status, and the contemporary patriarch Xue Lantian is the generalissimo of the empire's Pingdong, who made great contributions in the Pingdong Battle ten years ago and defeated the army of the Qinglong Empire in one fell swoop.

Because of this, the Xue family was relied on by the current emperor of the Oolong Empire as his right-hand man, controlling the power in the army, and becoming a super force in the empire, with a status comparable to the Lu family of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The hundred-zhang range in the northeast corner of the second area is the territory of the Xue family, where the verdant pines and cypresses are hidden, a courtyard exudes a majestic domineering atmosphere, and the three words "Marshal's Mansion" in front of the gate of Nafu exude a pale golden light.

Everywhere in the courtyard, you can see soldiers in armor everywhere, their expressions are indifferent, and there is a strong aura surging on their bodies, and they are all the strength of the Yuan Dan Realm.

At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Xue family, the patriarch Xue Lantian was talking and laughing, he was a seven-foot man, with strong muscles, his eyes were not angry and arrogant, and there was a faint scar on his cheek, which was left by the war ten years ago, which made everyone who saw him a little worried. However, those who know him know that Xue Lantian is a person of temperament, quite upright, will not beat around the bush, and does not have so many flowery intestines.

On the right side of his head, all the high-level people of the Xue family are sitting, and on the left side are the guests, the person at the head is an old man, who looks a little old, but his eyes are godly, he is none other than Lu Yuan, the current prime minister of the Oolong Empire.

"Brother Xue, the marriage between you and me is a perfect match, and our position will become more stable at that time. Hearing Xue Lantian's words, Lu Yuan also smiled and spoke, his small eyes flashing with wisdom.

"That is, who doesn't know that outside the Xue family and inside the Lu family, they are the two pillars of the empire. It was the three elders of the Xue family who spoke, and he was also smiling, strongly agreeing with this matter.

Speaking of this, his gaze shifted and fell on Lu Hao behind Lu Yuan, and he also said again, "Lu Hao, you can't bully Linglong in the future." ”

"Don't worry. ”

Hearing this, Lu Hao also spoke respectfully and assured, "The younger generation must give Linglong meticulous care." Seeing this, not only the three elders of the Xue family, but also Xue Lantian nodded with satisfaction.

"Marriage is a good thing, but I'm afraid the emperor is unwilling. ”

But at this moment, the Great Elder of the Xue Family, who had been silent, slowly spoke, his cloudy eyes surging with essence, "If I were the emperor, I would definitely worry about my country because of this." ”

"Not bad. ”

The second elder of the Xue family took over and agreed with the eldest elder's statement, "Our two families have already been envied, jealous and hated by others, if we marry again, ...... remarry."

"Everything must be reversed. The Great Elder added again.

"The Great Elder is too worried. The third elder spoke, and said disapprerovingly, "Our Xue family helped him keep the country, if he will take revenge, it will really be worse than a pig and a dog." ”

"The little emperor is only fourteen years old, and now he is fledgling, even if he wants to move the two of us, he needs to weigh it well. ”

On the Lu family's side, a middle-aged man also spoke.

"In another case, if the two families are married, they will be a whole in the future, one will be prosperous, and the other will be lost, and he will not dare to touch us at that time. ”

"Brother Lu is right. The three elders of the Xue family agreed.

"The body is not afraid of shadows. ”

Seeing this, Xue Lantian also said in a deep voice, "Besides, how can the things that Ben Shuai promised to change easily?" Speaking of this, he looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Brother Lu, when Linglong comes back, we will hold a marriage for them." ”

"That's very good. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan also nodded with a smile. As for the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Xue Family, their brows furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.

"In my opinion, it's just a stupid idea. ”

However, at this moment, a somewhat cold voice suddenly came in from outside, and then a figure flashed at the door, and Liu Xing and Xue Linglong appeared.

"Linglong. Xue Lantian and other high-level voices of the Xue family rang out, and the people of the Lu family also looked over, and after seeing Liu Xing, Lu Hao's eyes instantly had a cold glow.

"We were just discussing your family affairs when you came back. The three elders of the Xue family even smiled and spoke.

With the words in her ears, Xue Linglong glanced at the three elders of the Xue family, then stared at the snow blue sky in the first place, and then said respectfully, "Father, Linglong came back this time, not to marry Lu Hao, but to explain to the elders that Linglong already has a favorite person." ”

"Who is it?"

The three elders of the Xue family's face changed, and immediately asked.

"This seat, of course. ”

Liu Xing opened his mouth lightly, glanced at the three elders of the Xue family, and then his eyes fell on Lu Yuan and the others, "People from the Lu family, you dare to fight the idea of this woman, you are really bold. ”

"And you. Immediately afterwards, Liu Xing looked directly at Lu Hao, "I know that she is the woman of this seat, and you still do this, it seems that you want this seat to kill you." This sentence made Lu Hao's face even more gloomy, but he knew Liu Xing's strength, and the spiritual power in his body also quietly worked in an instant.

How could that move escape Liu Xing's eyes, and he sneered again at the moment, "But this seat generally doesn't kill ants, and your life will be handed over to Linglong." ”

"Huangkou child, don't be presumptuous here. ”

Seeing that Liu Xing decided Lu Hao's life and death, the middle-aged man also shouted angrily, and the breath on his body surged, he was a strong man in the Creation Realm, but his strength was only about two heavens.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a flower in front of him, and then with a bang, his body flew upside down and smashed heavily on the pillar, and immediately a mouthful of blood spurted out, directly seriously injured
