Chapter 255: Hongyan's thoughts
readx;
Ling Xiao's return made almost all Penzes people feel very excited!
Unconsciously, Ling Xiao has become the backbone of Peng Zesi's people's minds, it seems that with him, people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live happily, and in the days when Ling Xiao is not there, the civilians of Peng Zesi City always have a feeling of instability. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info though most of them, have never really met the lord.
Generally speaking, being able to meet a person in the lord's mansion is enough for them to brag, and if they are lucky enough to know someone in the lord's mansion, then this person can simply be envied to death by others!
Pengzes New Town, when Ling Xiao left, Dare had just started construction, and Huang Puyue, Isha and Ye Zi and a few women supported the construction of the new city.
Mo Qing and Li Fo and others need to manage the government, so almost all the decrees related to the new city are issued from the lord's mansion.
Huang Puyue's cleverness and wisdom, Isa's carefulness, and Yezi's talent for personnel allocation made the construction of the entire new city very fast.
Now, a third of the entire surrounding wall has risen!
The 20-meter-high city wall already looks immense, and the huge stones used to accumulate the wall are transported from far away, and the cost of each piece is quite high!
And Ling Xiao's wealth is also terrifying, and even the court of the Blue Moon Empire, because of Ling Xiao, has already been noisy. Many people insist that Ling Xiao's squandering of money and construction is the main culprit that led the empire into extravagance!
In particular, the auction house under his name monopolized the best pill and beauty pill, which was greatly detrimental to the development of the empire, allowing him to accumulate too much wealth, and if it went on like this, for a long time, others would not even have room to survive.
Therefore, it was proposed that His Majesty should charge Ling Xiao a high tax, and at the same time let him voluntarily "donate" more than half of his income for the infrastructure of the empire.
Some people also made extremely damaging remarks, saying that although Penzes City is the fief of Ling Xiao, the entire Blue Moon Empire is the territory of His Majesty the King, and you Ling Xiao, a marquis, dare to build a big city beyond the imperial capital, what are your intentions?
It is proposed that His Majesty the King take back Penzes City, a series of very important cities such as military, economic, and geographical location, as an important town of the Blue Moon Empire, and should not be given to his vassals.
People who are not afraid of death, or who do not know life and death, in fact, there has never been a shortage of courts in the empire, and they have not heard of Ling Xiao's current huge power and astonishing high force!
But they are even more afraid that Ling Xiao's growing power will affect their own interests!
In the aristocratic class, in fact, many interests are entangled, although there are fights and conflicts between each other, but in the general direction, their goals are the same!
That is, to keep the interests of the entire aristocratic class from being encroached upon, and to ensure that their families can survive and develop forever!
Although the Ling family is also a nobleman, there is no one in their family who is like a real nobleman! Ling Tianxiao is a vulgar martial artist! His eldest son is too! Ling Su, the eldest lady of the Ling family, is a woman who goes out and runs crazy all day long, how can she have the reserve and elegance of a noble girl?
The youngest daughter of the Ling family is now strong, and there are many people in the Imperial Academy, and not many people even dare to look at her with their eyes!
Besides, that Ling Xiao simply made those nobles hate it to the bone, everything he did, it seemed to be so annoying, how could the Heavenly Veiner, who was obviously half a waste, suddenly rise?
Look at this family, it seems that except for Mrs. Ling, who can be normal, everyone is like a madman, and what they do, where is it like a nobleman?
But the most ironic thing is that the Ling family is now the biggest nobleman in the entire Blue Moon Empire. There is no one left.
Because His Majesty's favor to the Ling family has reached the heavens!
With this new Flame Lion King Carnival approaching, His Majesty the King has promoted Ling Xiao's third-class marquis to a second-class marquis. At the same time, he rewarded countless treasures of all kinds, although those things were nothing to Ling Xiao, but after all, they showed the attitude of the old king.
Those important ministers and princes and nobles in the court of the Blue Moon Empire have now become a little numb, presumably, one day, His Majesty the King, even if Ling Xiao is canonized, they will not feel so surprised.
In fact, no one knew the bitterness in the old king's heart, and he had to do it!
On the one hand, because the old king has always trusted Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen's resignation back then was completely because of the poisoning incident, and now Qiu Chen's strength has been restored, and if a high-level magic sword master is not needed, then there is something wrong. On the other hand, the old king was very clear about the relationship between the Qiu family and the Ling family, because Qiu Chen was cured by Ling Xiao.
Moreover, it was also through Qiu Chen that Ling Xiao detoxified himself. As soon as he thought of this, the old king felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he was messed up by himself for a very good thing, but even if there is such a magical elixir as the beauty pill in this world, there will be no such thing as a regret pill.
Everything has been done, and we can only try to remedy it at this moment. From this point of view, the old king is quite wise.
Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been completely hollowed out by the old king, and above the court, a large number of important ministers who originally fell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have also been replaced, because of the existence of Qiu Chen, a strong military representative, even if those people have great dissatisfaction in their hearts, they dare not really show it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suppressed, but Li Wutong, the king of the south, did not have any excitement, he had already sent a letter to the Yan Zhao Yu family, because a few months had passed, and there was no news from Peng Lao and Master Yu at all!
At the same time, all kinds of rumors came from Penzes City, about the strangeness of the celestial phenomena that day. Li Wutong finally ended up with a fact that he didn't want to believe: Peng Lao and them...... It's fallen!
This result made him extremely depressed, just like his father, His Majesty the King! In fact, in terms of personality, the King of the South and His Majesty the King were indeed very imaginative, and compared to it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made the old King feel even more displeased.
In fact, by now, even Ling Xiao's mother, Mrs. Ling, already knows that the Ling family is no longer the Ling family in the past, and the majesty of the royal family can no longer pose the slightest threat to the Ling family!
Those princes and nobles in the imperial capital actually know this very well in their hearts, the rise of the Ling family will be a fact that they cannot stop, but they just want them to completely change their attitude immediately and get close to the Ling family, the kind of reserve and pride unique to the old nobles makes them unable to make such a move.
Ling Xiao didn't care about these things between the upper echelons of the country, and he didn't care about them at all, anyway, His Majesty the King didn't feel comfortable finding it himself, he really didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Now, Ling Xiaozheng has a headache, and he doesn't know how to explain that Song Mingyue suddenly became a woman, and then had a relationship with herself...... The fact of intimacy.
In fact, on the night of Ling Xiao's return, whether it was Ye Zi or Isa, when they saw Song Mingyue, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they laughed, as if Song Mingyue had always been a beauty, and they didn't look too surprised at all. But the more this happened, the more guilty Ling Xiao felt in his heart.
Ling Xiao asked himself, in terms of feelings, he was a very idiot and very passive, and the reserve of the cultivator made him a little unable to completely let go of his heart.
After all, cultivation is what he has to do, and what women need more is happiness, a sense of security, and a sense of security.
Ling Xiao couldn't give them these questions, what Ling Xiao could do was to let people who did not cultivate spiritual roots maintain their original memories when they died, and reincarnate and recultivate. Twenty years is just a matter of an eye for cultivators.
The question is, are they willing? Is it fair to them?
At least for now, Ling Xiao had no way to ask, and he didn't know how to say it.
He is not hypocritical, he admits that in his heart, whether it is Isha or Yezi, his feelings will not be less than that of Song Mingyue, so if he wants to give up, he will never be able to.
Fortunately, Song Mingyue saw the unhappiness in Ling Xiao's heart, and after dinner, she smiled and took Isha and Ye Zi's hands, which made Ling Xiao a little frightened. Although he knew that Song Mingyue should not do some foolish things, he couldn't guess the woman's thoughts.
Fortunately, Song Mingyue did not suddenly go crazy as Ling Xiao imagined, she called Isha and Ye Zi away, and told the two of them very sincerely about the relationship with Ling Xiao, it can only be said that it was an accident that she returned to the appearance of a woman. The combination with Ling Xiao was even more unexpected.
But one thing is not an accident, Song Mingyue has always had a good impression of Ling Xiao in her heart.
Ye Zi and Isha listened, although their hearts were a little sour, but they had to admit that Ling Xiao did have too many things to attract excellent women.
Moreover, Ye Zi and Isha were also stunned by the dangers that Ling Xiao and Song Mingyue had encountered before, they didn't expect that they would look infinitely beautiful when they returned, but there were countless dangers in them!
At the same time, a thought arose in their hearts, that is, how can we improve our strength faster? Otherwise, in the long run, will the distance between me and Ling Xiao become bigger and bigger?
Song Mingyue smiled and said something in the ears of the two women, and the faces of the two women suddenly flushed, and they were very shy, but the light in their eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
Ye Zi finally remembered why when he complained to Ling Xiao about his lack of strength before, Ling Xiao always had a strange expression, it turned out that this was actually the reason.
It's a pity that he was preempted by the little demon girl in front of him, thinking of this, Ye Zi pursed his lips vigorously, feeling that he couldn't fall behind Isa.
