Chapter 258: Shock
Just as Ling Xi rushed to the Longyan Mountain Range, the people sent by Xiao Chengfeng had already arrived at the border of the Hongling Empire and reported the matter of the Black Knife Village to the Baiyi Marquis of Longcheng one by one.
Dragon City, in the military palace.
After reading the secret report from Xiao Chengfeng, the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng stood up and said only one sentence:
"Report this information to Your Majesty, and Benhou will then rush back to the Imperial City. ”
In terms of the Imperial City, as soon as His Majesty heard that the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng was going to rush back to the imperial city, he knew that this was not a trivial matter without even reading the information, so he urgently summoned the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng back to the imperial city.
In this way, the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng returned to the imperial city.
The White Marquis of Longcheng returned to the Imperial City, and His Majesty brought a group of royal family members to greet him personally, even if His Majesty is already in power, but he still has great respect for the White Marquis of Longcheng, which shows the high status of the White Marquis of Longcheng in the royal family.
It is undoubtedly explosive news that the white marquis of Longcheng rushed back to the imperial city, generally speaking, there is no major event, and the white marquis of Longcheng who guards the border will not easily rush back to the imperial city, once the white marquis of Longcheng returns to the imperial city, it means that there will be war on the border.
For a while, rumors broke out in the imperial city that there would be a war on the border, and within a day's work, this rumor spread throughout most of the Hongling Empire. After the rumors of war on the border spread, the entire Hongling Empire can be said to be panicked, although the current Hongling Empire is unprecedentedly strong, but the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng returned to the imperial city to discuss with His Majesty today, which shows that the war is not optimistic. With such a conjecture, the people of the Hongling Empire are the most panicked, after all, as long as a war breaks out, it is they, the people, who suffer, so no one wants a war to happen, but whether the war will happen or not has to be decided by the people in power, which can be decided by the people.
In this way, the people of the Hongling Empire spent several days in a panicked mood, and never heard the news of a war on the border of Hongling. Only then did the people of the Hongling Empire realize that the so-called war on the border was just a rumor, but if there was no war, why did the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng rush back to the imperial city, was it because of something else?
It didn't take long for another major event to break out in the imperial city, and the Hongling royal family suddenly brought the other three major forces together, which made many people realize that there was a problem between the four major forces. The Hongling royal family should want to solve this problem in a peaceful way, otherwise the Hongling royal family would not have convened this meeting, and the most important thing is that this meeting was personally presided over by the White Marquis of Longcheng, and His Majesty also attended this meeting today. The two pillars of the Hongling royal family appeared together, which further illustrates the seriousness of the matter, and it seems that there is really a problem between the four major forces.
At the meeting, there seemed to be a very unpleasant quarrel between the Hongling Empire and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and even the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Pingchuan Beast Hunting Group were a little dissatisfied with the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, which showed that this problem should come from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, otherwise the other three major forces would not denounce the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce together.
The meeting lasted intermittently for seven days, and after each meeting, the faces of everyone in the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce were not very good-looking. Before the last meeting ended, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce left early, and it seemed that it had suffered a lot of losses.
After the meeting of the four major forces ended, as if nothing had happened between the four major forces, it still maintained the original appearance, and there was no follow-up turmoil, and the contradictions between the four major forces seemed to be over.
······
The Royal Palace, an imperial garden.
At this time, there were only two shadows in the entire Imperial Garden, and the two of them seemed to be discussing some secret matter one after the other, so no one followed behind them.
One of them has a dragon robe, and he has a kingly atmosphere between his gestures, and there is a faint dragon aura lingering on the top of his head, if he can have such a temperament, if nothing else, this person should be Qin Yunhan, the emperor of the Hongling Empire.
Although the other person has entered the twilight of his life, he does not look old at all in white clothes, but gives people a feeling that he is still in the prime of life. This person is the most powerful pillar of the Hongling royal family, the existence of the rulers of neighboring countries who are difficult to sleep, and everyone knows the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng.
Qin Yunhan walked in front, followed by the white-clothed marquis of Longcheng, and then he heard the former say:
"Uncle Huang, are you saying that what the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce said is true? Tielin City really has a Heavenly Eye List spirit artifact Blood Jade Dragon Ginseng?"
The white-clothed marquis of Longcheng nodded and said:
"I think it's mostly true, otherwise where would the leopard from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce dare to do such a rebellious thing behind the back of the royal family. ”
Qin Yunhan frowned and said:
"Didn't that Blood Jade Dragon Ginseng fall into Ling Xi's hands?"
"I don't think so, the blood jade dragon ginseng is originally a heavenly spiritual thing, how can it be willing to fall into the hands of ordinary people, even the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce can't get the blood jade dragon ginseng, and that Ling Xi can't get it. ”
The white-clothed marquis of Dragon City shook his head and said, obviously, he didn't think that Ling Xi could get the Blood Jade Dragon Ginseng, in other words, he didn't think that the Blood Jade Dragon would choose Ling Xi.
Qin Yunhan nodded, he also agreed with the opinion of the white-clothed marquis of Dragon City, and said:
"Uncle Huang, how should the royal family deal with this matter?"
"According to the old minister's opinion, we still can't push the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce too hard, after all, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce controls the economic lifeline of the Hongling Empire. As for the blood jade dragon ginseng, send someone to take a look, it is the best if you can get it, even if you can't get it, don't force it, this kind of heaven and earth spirit thing can't be forced. There is also Tielin City, which has been troubled by bandits in recent years, and the emperor should send someone to appease it. ”
Longcheng Baiyi Hou said.
"Uncle Huang, don't worry, I have already sent people to Tielin City, and Tielin City will be able to rebuild it soon. In addition, in order to prevent something similar to the Black Knife Village from happening again, I plan to send people directly from the Imperial City to those remote cities to assist in governance, and report anything directly to me, so that no more letters and newspapers will be stopped outside the Imperial City. ”
Qin Yunhan is worthy of being the ruler of the Hongling Empire, and the method he came up with so that he will no longer be blinded by the ministers under him, and at the same time, it also strengthens the imperial power and consolidates the connection between the central and local governments.
"Yes, it has greatly strengthened the imperial power. By the way, have you checked the background of that Ling Xi?"
Longcheng Baiyi Hou said.
Qin Yunhan nodded and said:
"I've checked, Ling Xi is a person from Sunset City in the Western Realm, and there is a drunkard father in the family, Li Xun also found out that Ling Xi has a lot to do with a person named Shi Zhuxue, and this Shi Zhuxue is very likely to be a person from Realm King City, and I guess Ling Xi should also be a person from Realm King City. ”
The white-clothed marquis of Longcheng frowned and said:
"Shi Zhuxue, the people in the world of Wangcheng are surnamed Shi, Li Xun is not mistaken, right?"
"There shouldn't be a mistake, on the day Shi Zhuxue left Sunset City, there were two major battles in Sunset City, and the level of one of the big battles had reached the Qiankun Seal, or even the Three Seals of Mortality, so Li Xun dared to conclude that Shi Zhuxue was a person from the Realm King City. ”
Qin Yunhan said.
"In this way, it is really possible that it is someone from the Realm King City, where is Ling Xi now, is there any news?"
Longcheng Baiyi Hou said.
Qin Yunhan shook his head and said
"No, the person named Shi Yu in Tielin City should be Ling Xi, but it's not clear where he went after that. ”
The white-clothed marquis of Dragon City pondered for a while, and then said:
"There is no need to deliberately inquire about Ling Xi's whereabouts, I have a hunch that this son cannot be offended, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce will definitely pay a heavy price if he offends him. ”
"Then according to the meaning of the imperial uncle, the royal family should befriend Ling Xi?"
Qin Yunhan said.
The white-clothed marquis of Longcheng shook his head and said:
"You don't have to deliberately make friends, as long as you don't offend him, everything will be as it is. ”
······
In terms of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, the recent period can be said to be the most uncomfortable day for the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. At the meeting of the four major forces, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was not only questioned by the Hongling royal family, but also robbed by the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Pingchuan Beast Hunting Troupe. This is not what makes the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce the most angry, it is Ling Xi who makes the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce the most angry, it is Ling Xi who let the matter of the Black Knife Village be exposed, so there is this meeting of the four major forces. In fact, the meeting of the four major forces is nothing, and the most angry thing for the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is the blood jade dragon ginseng, it is Ling Xi's intervention that makes the blood jade dragon ginseng of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce not fished, but it fell short, and in the end it was questioned by the Hongling royal family. In order to calm down this contradiction, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce can be said to have bled and bled again, and the gambling did not succeed and made a loss, which made the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce not angry.
The most angry person in the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is Jin Jiatian, the president of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. The revelation of the Black Knife Village incident was something he didn't expect, and what made him angry was that the blood jade dragon ginseng, the spiritual object of the Tianmu List, was gone, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce's planning for so long was considered to be a waste of money. He thought that there was nothing worse than this, until he knew that the person who had ruined the good things of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was called Shi Yu, don't think about it, he knew that this Shi Yu was 100% Ling Xi.
Bang!
This is the sound that will appear the most during the meeting of the four major forces, that is, the sound of Jin Jiatian smashing the teacup and flipping the table.
"Rice buckets! A bunch of rice buckets! All of them are rice buckets! What are you doing eating! I can't even find Ling Xi! I even asked him to run away to Tielin City for me!"
"Find! Find it all for me! If you can't find Ling Xi, don't come back!"
During this time, no one in the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was terrified, and no one had ever seen Jin Jiatian look so angry, like a crazy beast. All of this was caused by a small Ling Xi, and since Ling Xi appeared in the field of vision of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce began to be unhappy. First of all, Sunset City lost face, and then it was impossible to intercept and kill Ling Xi outside Shenzhou, but Ling Xi killed many Creation Seals and Hantian Seals, this time it was Ling Xi, Ling Xi not only ran to Tielin City to poke out the matter of Black Knife Village, but also forcibly made the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce lose a blood jade dragon ginseng.
It was the Blood Jade Dragon Ginseng, the spiritual object of the Tianmu List, which was originally almost in his hand, but was finally stirred up by Ling Xi and flew away, which is how Jin Jiatian is not angry and how not to be annoyed.
Among them, the worst is Jin Wuxun, it is said that when the news of Ling Xi's havoc in Tielin City reached the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, if it weren't for the protection of many elders, Jin Jiatian almost killed Jin Wuxun with one palm. After all, all of this was caused by Jin Wuxun, if it weren't for Jin Wuxun going to Sunset City to do nonsense, how could the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce provoke Ling Xi, a bad star, if it weren't for Jin Wuxun's brother Jin Wuchai, many elders of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce would have tortured and killed Jin Wuxun 10,000 times without Jin Jiatian's hands. In the end, because of Jin Wuchai, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce did not execute Jin Wuxun, but only sent Jin Wuxun to the branch of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce located on the border.
After the meeting of the four major forces, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was silent for more than a month, and at this time, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce set a goal, that is, to find Ling Xi!
Ling Xi took advantage of this time to rush to the Longyan Mountain Range, and when the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce pulled away, Ling Xi had already arrived at the Longyan Mountain Range.
