Chapter 80: Marriage
After Wu Zun's grandson came to meet Chen Yuannan and others, he unexpectedly found that among the people who came to participate in the Tianchen Meeting, none of the Wu family members came, which couldn't help but surprise him.
According to the previous arrangement, his son Wu Zhen will take the people to join him in Tianchen Sect.
"Why didn't Wu Zhen come over?"
Wu Zun opened his mouth and asked Chen Yuannan.
At this time, Wu Zun didn't know that the Wu family had been purged, but now was not the time to clean up Wu Zun, because after all, this was the Tianchen Sect, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.
Zhou Qian's arrangement was to wait for Wu Zun and Wu Zheng to return to Qingyuanmen.
"Uncle Hui! Senior Brother Wu changed his mind before leaving, saying that he was not going to participate in the Tianchen Meeting, and the specific reason was not clear. ”
Chen Yuannan said perfunctorily.
When Wu Zun heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was a little annoyed by Wu Zhen's self-assertion, and he didn't realize that there was a big change in the sect.
If it weren't for knowing that Zhao Jing was one of the masterminds, Wu Zhen was one of the masterminds, and Li Zhen had a realm puppet, then for the sake of safety, Zhou Qian would definitely not move the Wu family now.
Wu Zhen didn't come, Chen Yuannan didn't know the reason, there was no point in delving into it, Wu Zun's attention shifted to Zhou Qian and Li Zhen, and asked, "What about Old Zhou?" I heard that Zhen'er's realm has been greatly improved? This Tianchen meeting will definitely shine. ”
The corners of Chen Yuannan's mouth twitched, and he pretended to be calm: "Originally, Master Zhou and Zhen'er also came, but there was a little problem halfway, Zhen'er gave up participating, and Master Zhou was in a bad mood, and he was locked in the room for the past few days without seeing outsiders." ”
When Wu Zun and Wu Zheng heard this, they showed a smile that was not easy to detect.
"Oh?!, but what's going on?"
"I don't know."
Chen Yuannan said perfunctory again, and then said: "Uncle Shi and Zheng'er have just arrived, they must be tired, it is better to go and rest first and wash away the dust." ”
"That's fine."
Wu Zun nodded, and then led Wu Zheng down to rest, Chen Yuannan waited for the two to leave, and went to meet Zhou Qian, and Li Zhen was also in Zhou Qian's room at this time.
"Wu Zun and Wu Zheng are here?"
Zhou Qian asked.
"It's coming! I also asked about Zhen'er, obviously knowing that the ghost ancestor came to kill Li Zhen, and wanted to confirm it, but I sent it away, but looking at the expressions of the grandfather and grandson, I thought that Zhen'er had suffered. ”
Chen Yuannan snorted coldly and said.
"They believe that it is understandable that Zhen'er is in trouble, after all, it is the strong man of the realm who makes the move."
Zhou Qian arranged: "Now those who know Zhen'er's situation are not only us, but also Tianchen Sect and Tiannan Sect, you send someone to inform you, the news is blocked, and it must not be revealed." As for their grandfather and grandson, they let them continue to wander for a few days, and they will be disposed of when they return to the sect. ”
"Uncle Shi rest assured! The master and nephew understood that they had already sent someone to inform the two factions. ”
Li Zhen interjected at this time: "Since their grandchildren are here, then I have to be careful, after all, they are very familiar with the disciples of this sect, and the appearance of an unfamiliar face of mine will inevitably arouse suspicion, and I will not go out for the past two days." ”
Grandpa and Master expressed their understanding and approval.
········································
In the afternoon of the same day, the Tianchen Sect held a meeting of elders.
In addition to the elders of the Tianchen Sect, the palace masters and elders who came to the Moon Worship Palace to participate in the Tianchen Sect also attended the meeting.
The relationship between the two factions is very close, and it can be regarded as a family.
"This time we have called everyone to a meeting, and there is an important matter to vote on."
After meeting with Zhou Qian and Li Zhen last night, the rulers of the Tianchen Sect have already made a decision, but this matter still needs to be walked around by the elders.
"Oh?! I don't know why I want to hold a council of elders so much. ”
A middle-aged beautiful woman asked curiously.
She is Jian Bing, the palace master of the Moon Worship Palace, a robbery immortal cultivator, and when she was young, she was also a famous beauty in the cultivation world.
Not only was Jian Bing puzzled, but the other elders who didn't attend last night's meeting were also curious.
"Here's the thing, last night Zhou Qian's predecessor from Qingyuanmen came down to see us with His Royal Highness Zhen, and proposed that we support His Royal Highness Zhen to inherit the unification, and ........................"
Sect Master Lu told everyone in detail what happened last night and the conversation.
As soon as the words fell, the elders discussed a lot, and their expressions were different.
"Senior sister asks, Senior Brother Lu has already made a decision?!"
Jian Bing was a smart woman, staring at Sect Master Lu and asked.
"Since you can't stay out of the matter, then all things considered, supporting His Royal Highness Zhen now is definitely the best choice, and relying on the strength of your and my two factions, in the future, in the system of His Royal Highness Zhen, it will definitely have a pivotal position."
Sect Master Lu didn't hide it, and he was straightforward.
The people present are not stupid people, Li Zhen has the cards to bring down the prince and the queen, and he is assisted by two realm powerhouses, these alone are enough for Tianchen Sect and Moon Worship Palace to take refuge.
"If you disagree, don't hesitate."
Sect Master Lu glanced at the elders and asked.
"I don't have an opinion!"
"I have no opinion, I am willing to respect the head of the sect master!"
"We have no objections."
“…………”
The opinions of the elders of the Tianchen Society were quickly unified, in fact, there was no way for them to disagree, they were not the elders with real power after all, and the elders with real power all passed last night, and their opposition was meaningless.
Sect Master Lu's gaze then fell on Jian Bing again.
The two families are in the same breath, and Tianchen Sect still attaches great importance to the opinions of the Moon Worship Palace.
"I have no opinion, the advantages of supporting His Highness Zhen outweigh the disadvantages."
As soon as Jian Bing spoke, the elders below had no opinion, but the next words were a little unexpected.
"Since you have decided to support His Royal Highness Zhen, it is better to completely bundle them together and maximize the benefits."
"Oh? I don't know what my sister's opinion is? ”
Jian Bing said: "I mean marriage. ”
"His Royal Highness Zhen has not yet married a wife, so it is better to marry him and strengthen the relationship. When his mother married the current saint, she put aside the emotional factor, and she just wanted to bring greater benefits to Qingyuanmen. ”
It was an idea that no one had thought of, but it was a good idea and everyone agreed.
"It's just that the junior sister has a candidate?"
"Yes! My little apprentice is exactly the same age as His Royal Highness Zhen, and his character, appearance, and talent are all the best among people, and he can be a good match. ”
Jian Bingdao.
"I wonder if your little apprentice will agree to this? After all, twisted melons are not sweet. ”
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll convince you."
When Lu Zong heard this, he didn't say anything more.
In this way, the Council of Elders approved support for Li Zhen and a marriage plan.
After the meeting, Jian Bing summoned his youngest disciple, Meng Bingqi.
Meng Bingqi is a well-known beauty in the Huaguo cultivation world, beautiful as a fairy, ice clear and jade, and because of her withdrawn personality, few words, and no one to approach, she is called 'Ice Fairy'.
"Disciple, see Master!"
Meng Bingqi is dressed in white, out of the water hibiscus, and her voice is crisp and pleasant.
Jian Bing looked at his favorite and proudest disciple and nodded with satisfaction.
"Tianchen Sect and the Moon Worship Palace will change their positions and support the thirteenth prince Li Zhen to ascend the throne, in order to strengthen the relationship, the teacher has decided to marry you to the thirteenth prince Li Zhen, are you willing?!"
When Meng Bingqi heard this, her delicate body was shocked.
She was a smart one and instantly understood that it was a political marriage.
The master seems to ask for her opinion, but in fact she has already made a decision, but if she is resolutely opposed, presumably the master will not embarrass her too much, but when she thinks of the great kindness that the master has given her, the words of refusal come to her lips, but she can't say it.
"You don't want to? If you don't want to, you should be a teacher and don't say it. ”
Seeing Meng Bingqi's hesitation, Jian Bing said in a negotiable tone.
"In vain...... The apprentice is willing to obey the Master's arrangement. ”
Even if Meng Bingqi has a thousand or ten thousand unwillingness in her heart, she just can't say it in front of the master.
Seeing this, Jian Bing nodded with satisfaction and comforted: "Although you haven't seen Li Zhen, you must have heard of his affairs, and he is an absolute dragon and phoenix, and you are really a good match with him." Although he has lost power in the past few years, he has now turned over, and he has inherited the unification of nine out of ten, and you will follow him in the future, and there will be a concubine position, plus the backing of the master, it is not impossible to be the mother of the world. ”
Meng Bingqi's heart gradually calmed down, and she nodded expressionlessly.
"In the future, everything will be arranged by the master."
The relationship between Jian Bing and her is like that of a mother and daughter, what kind of mentality Meng Bingqi has now, Jian Bing can't understand it, standing in Jian Bing's position, marrying Meng Bingqi to Li Zhen will benefit the sect, and it will be a happy thing for her in the future.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to honor the world.
Meng Bingqi doesn't understand it now, but when she is more mature, she will definitely understand Master's good intentions.
Jian Bing and Meng Bingqi said some more confidant words, and then Meng Bingqi left on the pretext of not disturbing Master's rest.
Meng Bingqi is a cold character, she can't see anything on the surface, but in fact, she is depressed and uncomfortable in her heart, but unfortunately she is helpless.
Meng Bingqi is an orphan who was raised by her master since she was a child, called master and apprentice, like a mother and daughter.
Since she was a child, the master has never asked her for anything, and now for the first time, she has asked her to marry Li Zhen, no matter what the purpose, the grace of nurturing and teaching is in front, how can she refuse?
······································
The next day, the much-anticipated Tianchen meeting was held as scheduled.
The seven major sects of Huaguo and more than 30 second- and third-rate sects gathered together, and many scattered cultivators also came to participate, which was very lively.
It's just that Li Zhen didn't have a chance to see such a lively scene, because at the same time as the conference was held, he and his grandfather came to the Tianchen Sect Council Hall again, waiting for the arrival of the Tianchen Sect's people in advance to inform the decision.
"Zhen'er! It's a shame you didn't attend this conference. ”
Grandpa said regretfully.
Tianchen Club is the highest honor stage for the younger generation in the Huaguo cultivation world, and Li Zhen, as the top existence of the younger generation, should have shined in the conference.
"It's just a name, there's nothing to be sorry for."
Li Zhen said indifferently: "With the strength of Sun Er now, only the Three Tribulation Immortals can be regarded as opponents, let me go to fight with a group of peers from the Hundred Tricks and the True Yuan Primal Realm, it is really not interesting, and it is also a bit of a big bully." ”
When my grandfather heard this, he laughed.
Li Zhen's words are true, the opponent is too weak, and it is indeed difficult to ignite people's fighting spirit.
"Your stage is definitely not limited to China, grandpa really wants to see your greater achievements, but I don't know if there is a chance."
Grandpa sighed.
"Grandpa, what are these words, with your current state, I am afraid that it will not take long to be promoted to the realm and become the first realm powerhouse since the founding of the Chinese Kingdom. Besides, my grandson will need your support and tips in the future, and he will never be able to do without you. ”
Li Zhen actually had a plan in his heart for a long time, to help his grandfather promote to the realm, but this matter is extremely difficult, Li Zhen has no clue for the time being, if it really can't work, he will go to Sanssouci Island to ask for help from Jiang Senior and Wan Senior, presumably with the ability of the two seniors, they should be able to point out a clear way.
As he spoke, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and after a while, Sect Master Lu walked into the main hall with a group of elders with real power from the sect, accompanied by the people of the Moon Worship Palace, before Sect Master Lu went to preside over the ceremony of the Tianchen Society.
After the two sides saw each other, there was not much nonsense, and Sect Master Lu said bluntly: "The opinion you gave the day before yesterday, after our careful consideration, we decided to support His Highness Zhen. ”
Grandfather Zhou Qian and Li Zhen did not have much joy on their faces, which was expected.
"Thank you so much for the love of the two factions!"
Li Zhen saluted very respectfully and expressed his gratitude.
As soon as the words fell, Li Zhen took out the method of opening the ten tricks and said: "In order to express the gratitude of the younger generation, a thin gift is given, I hope that the seniors are satisfied."
Sect Master Lu took it in his hand and opened it to see that it was the method of opening the ten tricks, and his spirit immediately perked.
Seeing Sect Master Lu's solemn face, the gift should be heavy, and they couldn't help but wonder what it was.
The Tianchen Sect has been established for thousands of years, but there are only fifty-five ways to open the body, and Li Zhen gave ten tips at once, this gift is really too heavy.
Sect Master Lu must be satisfied, because this is of great help to the sect, and since the two sides are tied to the same front, this gift can also be accepted with peace of mind.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generous gift, this sect master is ashamed."
Seeing that their sect master was so solemn, their curiosity aroused again, and when Sect Master Lu passed on the method of the Ten Tricks to the below, everyone was immediately shocked.
The palace master's eyes were shining, and he decided that marrying his favorite disciple Meng Bingqi to Li Zhen was the best decision.
"It's just that while supporting His Highness, this faction wants to deepen ties with His Highness, so ............"
Sect Master Lu is ready to talk about conditions, which is expected by Li Zhen, and he can't support it in vain, right?
"Since it's a family, it's okay for Sect Master Lu to speak bluntly."
Sect Master Lu smiled slightly, and said: "Senior Sister Jian has a disciple named Meng Bingqi, who is naturally beautiful, has both ability and political integrity, and is the most outstanding among the many disciples of the two factions.
Li Zhen agreed almost without hesitation: "Why not?" This is an honor for the younger generation! ”
Zhou Qian did not speak on the side.
Meng Bingqi, this person Li Zhen knows that he has a little understanding, and he can be said to be the most proud disciple of the Moon Worship Palace, and the other party took her out and promised her to be married to himself, but it was also a bloody investment, which shows that he has made a great determination to support himself.
Marriage is a common and most effective political means, Li Zhen grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has long been surprised by this kind of thing, as for whether the two have feelings or not, this is the most irrelevant thing.
