Chapter 590: Defection

~~

At this time, in the Ling family's mansion, Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng were sitting in a small hall chatting. Although Ling Xiongfeng was the acting head of the Ling family, he still sat at the bottom, and his expression was quite respectful to Ling Xiongjie.

"Xiongfeng, how do you say I treated you in the past?" Ling Xiongjie said in a deep voice.

"The head of the family has naturally treated me very well in the past, and Xiongfeng is grateful. Ling Xiongfeng said on his lips, but he was full of slander in his heart, he has never been Ling Xiongjie's henchman, he has always been on the periphery of the family, and Ling Yu is a little sympathetic, although he is now temporarily the head of the family, but most of the family power is still in the hands of Ling Xiongjie. He didn't dare to have any disrespect for Ling Xiongjie, otherwise if Ling Xiongjie or Ling Xiongjie's son Ling Cheng ascended to the position of head of the family again, then he would not have a good life in the future.

"Very well, Xiongfeng, if you do my bidding, I will not do you any wrong. The Snow Emperor has not taken care of family affairs for many years, and the Ling family today is completely different from before, and it is not the Snow Emperor who can do it alone. Ling Xiongjie said lightly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Ling Xiongfeng naturally understood that there was an obvious threat in Ling Xiongjie's words. He understood that Ling Xiongjie's methods were vicious, and Ling Yu's parents died in Ling Xiongjie's hands. Although the Snow Emperor has a great say in the Ling family, and can even remove Ling Xiongjie as the head of the family, it is difficult to completely change the status quo of the Ling family.

Ling Xiongfeng sighed, although Ling Yu had the support of the Snow Emperor, unless the Snow Emperor stayed in the Ling family or could change the pattern of the Ling family first. Otherwise, Ling Yu would still not be able to ascend to the position of head of the family.

"The king's envoy has arrived!" Suddenly, there was a shout from outside.

Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng couldn't help but be stunned, wasn't the monarch holding a feast, why did he suddenly send an envoy to the Ling family?

They came to their senses. Immediately, all the Ling family members gathered in the hall in front of them, bending down to greet the monarch's envoys.

"The ministers took the order. As the acting head of the family, Ling Xiongfeng stood in front of everyone and said respectfully. Everyone in the hall knelt down at his words.

The monarch's envoy was a golden-armored guard, he glanced at Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng, unfolded a bright yellow scroll, and read aloud: "The monarch's holy oracle, Ling Jiazaburo Ling Yu, has both ability and political integrity, and is young and promising, I will marry Princess Zhaoming Ji Zixuan to Ling Yu, and specially seal the city lord of Lingxiao Holy City." Give the territory a hundred miles ......"

Waiting to receive the decree of the king's envoys. Both Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng were a little stunned and couldn't react. The monarch actually married the princess to Ling Yu? This is also too unbelievable! The young talents of the major wealthy families who pursue the princess are unknown, how could Ji Haotian's old fox choose Ling Yu?

The current Ling Yu is just the third heir of the Ling family, what means did he use. Married to a princess?

If it was just the support of the Snow Emperor, Ling Yu didn't have much chance of becoming the head of the Ling family. But now with the support of the monarch, the result will be different, will the monarch allow his son-in-law to not even be the head of the Ling family?

In terms of means, can Ling Xiongjie compare to Ji Haotian, who is the king of a country, and is ruthless?

The six giants of the imperial capital are all under Ji Haotian's surveillance, Ji Haotian can use any means casually, it is still easy to kill Ling Xiongjie, after all, he is the king of a country!

With the support of the royal family, no matter how Ling Xiongjie struggled, Ling Yu, the head of the Ling family, was seated! If he had to play any tricks, not only would he not be able to kill Ling Yu, but he might be killed by Ji Haotian first!

Without extraordinary means, how can it be possible to sit on the throne of the monarch lightly?

After listening to this holy message, Ling Xiongjie's face was gloomy, even if he was demoted from the position of head of the family by the Snow Emperor, he did not have such a sense of powerlessness as now, if he still wanted to help Ling Cheng compete for the position of the head of the family, he would not only have to face the Snow Emperor, but also face a terrifying Ji Haotian.

What kind of shit luck did this kid Ling Yu take?!

Until the monarch's envoy left, everyone in the hall hadn't come back to their senses for a long time, Ling Yu, this kid actually married a princess, isn't this a dream? Ji Haotian will definitely not marry the princess lightly, the marriage of the royal family is often closely related to politics, but what did Ji Haotian like about Ling Yu?

Ling Xiongfeng was also very surprised, he realized that he really underestimated Ling Yu! From the beginning after being arrested by the law enforcement elders and returning to the Ling family, he talked eloquently at the clan meeting, and then he stepped down from Ling Xiongjie's position as the head of the family with the support of the Snow Emperor, and now he suddenly became Ji Haotian's son-in-law, this is definitely not a means that ordinary people can have!

Ling Yu's previous smuggling and concessions were probably just low-key forbearance, and such a thunderous method stunned Ling Xiongjie at once.

Ling Xiongfeng suddenly wanted to laugh, and couldn't help laughing, and the whole hall was filled with Ling Xiongfeng's laughter.

"Ling Xiongfeng, are you crazy?" Ling Xiongjie said angrily, starting today, he felt that he was gradually losing his prestige in this Ling family.

"Of course I'm not crazy!" Ling Xiongfeng looked around at everyone in the hall and said with a smile, "It just so happens that all the law enforcement elders, as well as the heads of the branch families and the directors, I, Ling Xiongfeng, have a few words." The princess's marriage to Ling Yu is a great joy for my Ling family! Ling Yu is undoubtedly the best candidate for the next head of the Ling family, do you have any objections?"

Everyone in the hall had different expressions, but no one said a word, Ling Xiongfeng continued: "I, Ling Xiongfeng, am willing to support the new family head to succeed to the throne, as for all the law enforcement elders, the heads of the divided families and the supervisors, you can do it yourself, and those who support Ling Yucheng's new family head should stand up." ”

The hall was silent, and after a moment of silence, one person after another walked towards Ling Xiongfeng's side, the first to pass was the head of each branch, they were less constrained by Ling Xiongjie, and had a certain degree of autonomy, first expressed their support for Ling Xiongfeng, and then the various supervisors, and then even Ling Xiongjie's henchmen in the Law Enforcement Hall also walked towards Ling Xiongfeng.

This is the choice of everyone in the Ling family, if Ling Xiongjie is just demoted from the position of head of the family, with so many years of residual power, Ling Xiongjie will not lose power lightly, but the news that the princess married Ling Yu has changed everything.

Anyone knows that continuing to follow Ling Xiongjie will only be a dead end!

Except for Ling Gong and a few other people who were still on Ling Xiongjie's side, more than sixty people in power of the Ling family in the hall had all walked to Ling Xiongfeng's side, and now no one could prevent Ling Yu from succeeding as the head of the Ling family.

"You guys are very good! You villains who fall on both sides of the wall!" Ling Xiongjie's face was hideously distorted, and he scolded angrily in public, he didn't expect that his business in the Ling family for so many years would fall apart in an instant, and his success would fall short, this qiē came too quickly, which caught him off guard, and he was powerless to recover it.

Ling Gong was also extremely depressed on the side, he didn't expect Ling Xiongjie to lose his position so quickly, even if he threw himself on Ling Xiongfeng's side at this moment, it would be useless, because on the way to escort Ling Yu back, he had already offended Ling Yu miserably, who would have thought that Ling Yu, who was still a prisoner some time ago, would become the son-in-law of the monarch and the future head of the Ling family in the blink of an eye?

"Grass!" Ling Gong couldn't help but curse, he could only blame himself for his bad luck, if he hadn't offended Ling Yu before, he would definitely stand on Ling Xiongfeng's side without hesitation, like everyone else, he knew that now the shape of a qiē shì could not be reversed, as a princess, and with the support of the Snow Emperor, Ling Yu would become the strongest head of the Ling family!

Ling Xiongjie never imagined that Ling Yu would quickly turn the tables in such a way, he didn't even have time to prepare.

"If you want me to admit defeat, it's impossible!" Ling Xiongjie gritted his teeth and hated, a cold light flashed in his eyes, even if he had to avoid his edge for the time being and retreat behind the scenes, he was still unwilling to admit defeat, even if Ling Yu was about to succeed to the position of head of the family, he would still be able to find a chance for a while!

In the inner hall of the imperial city, the banquet is still going on, and it is said that there are still three important people who have not been present, and I don't know who those people are, they are such big names, so many war emperors are waiting here.

I heard that there are two War Emperors who are from the Dao Court, but I don't know what the origin is.

A group of people were chatting, and suddenly, the flying knife in Ye Chen's mind buzzed and trembled.

Ye Chen frowned, even these War Emperor powerhouses couldn't see the flying knife in his mind, only Ye Chen felt the strangeness of the flying knife.

What is it that triggers the throwing knife?

Ye Chen had some doubts in his heart.

"The Feather Emperor, the Qin Emperor, and the Ruoyun Girl have arrived. Just then, a guard came in and reported loudly.

"Hurry up and invite them in!" Ji Haotian hurriedly ordered, and he immediately got up and said to the war emperors present that he was not with him, and then hurriedly went to greet him in person.

Hearing that Emperor Yu, Emperor Qin, and Miss Ruoyun were here, all the War Emperors who were chatting in their seats got up and stood up.

Seeing that all the War Emperors had gotten up, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't still sit there, so he also stood up and asked the Snow Emperor on the side: "Lord Snow Emperor, who are the Yu Emperor, the Qin Emperor and that Ruoyun girl?"

"You have to pay attention to what you can say, that Emperor Yu and Emperor Qin are the proud disciples of the Lord of the Dao Court, the God Emperor, and they are both geniuses with a star soul fusion degree close to seventy, but they are only in their twenties, and they are already strong people of the first order of the War Emperor. As for Miss Ruoyun, her status is extremely noble, no one knows her true identity, and no one knows how her cultivation is, some people speculate that she is the daughter of the gods, but no one can be sure so far. The Snow Emperor reminded Ye Chen in a low voice.

It turned out to be a big man in the Dao Court, no wonder these War Emperors were polite to these two young War Emperors from the Dao Court, even if they usually dominated one side.

Ye Chen thought to himself, the flying knife in his mind was always buzzing and trembling, and the Xuan Qi was surging out, flowing all over his body, this time the overflowing Xuan Qi was even more refined than before, and after gushing out, it quickly merged into the dantian.

The nine stars in the dantian also underwent a subtle change, and all kinds of mysterious spirits roamed on the surface of the nine stars.

These Mysterious Qi Spirits were like living beings, and Ye Chen seemed to be able to feel their joyful mood.
