The candle flame in the hall flickered slightly, Li Yuanxiu stood sideways at the top, and kneeling below was a Shanyue envoy full of animal bones and jade, his head pressed tightly to the ground, and said respectfully:

"The villain has seen the young family master, the king of my family remembers the friendship between the two families, remembers the health of my aunt and uncle, and remembers the alliance between the two families, and sends me a lot of output in the local realm, and now the queen's position is still vacant, and the king is still looking forward to marrying a daughter of the Li family......"

Li Yuanxiu stepped forward and walked two steps down from the top, and the clan soldiers on both sides suddenly unanimously stared at the Shanyue in front of him, and Chen Donghe on the side stood at the bottom of the steps, and he was also silently vigilant to prevent the people in front of him from rioting.

"My Li family is located in the east, I only heard that there was a riot in Shanyue, none of Mu Jiaoman's heirs survived, and the messenger came from afar, I don't know if I can solve my doubts."

Li Yuanxiu didn't answer this person's words, but picked up the details of the turmoil in Shanyue, and told the Shanyue envoy in front of him to be full of sweat, although Shanyue's current king Camel Mu said that he was ordered by Mu Jiaoman to slaughter his brothers, but there were many doubts in Shanyue under such an excuse, not to mention using these words to deal with Li Yuanxiu, the envoy had no choice but to tremble:

"There is unrest...... The heirs of the previous kings were broken, but the change of throne was inevitable... It was not intentional by the king of my family, the king specially kept his mother, and he also had a credit! ”

The mother concubine naturally refers to the daughter of the Li family who married in the past, although Mu Jiaoman gave the Li family face to stay in the palace of the daughter, but she acted carefully, she never had an heir, her status in the palace was quite special, and every force in this turmoil sent someone to protect her for the first time.

Li Yuanxiu didn't answer when he heard this, he looked at the trembling appearance of the Shanyue envoy in front of him, considered it in his heart, and secretly said:

"Before Mo Li breaks through the Qi training, he should focus on appeasing the camelina wood, don't let this person be suspicious, ask for help everywhere, and cause trouble, everything is still business as usual, let him rest assured."

"It's easy to say that worship and trade are just a matter of the next order, but if this woman marries, won't she be a widow in a few years? There are many daughters of the small sect at the moment, but the elders of several clans will inevitably make noise. ”

The lower Shanyue didn't know what to do, thinking that Li Yuanxiu was angry, and he had shaken into chaff, sweating like pulp, and accumulating into a small depression on the stone bricks on the ground, Li Yuanxiu was no longer silent, and said softly:

"Shanyue is willing to continue the in-laws of the two families, and my Li family also agrees on this matter, and the matter of worship and trade will come according to the old practice, and there is no need to change it."

"Thank you, King! Thank you, King! ”

The envoy at the head of the head kowtowed a few times as if he had been amnestied, and called the king without hesitation, never thinking that Li Yuanxiu raised his hand and said with a smile:

"It's just that now there are not many daughters in my family, and I have a lot of status in the clan, how can I say that I will marry, my father is now in retreat and cultivating, but I, the young head of the family, are not as good at talking as my father, and Shanyue has another condition with my family's in-laws."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

The envoy asked repeatedly, and Li Yuanxiu said with a smile:

"My clan's daughter marries in the west, how can there be no fiefdom to show prestige, there are still villages in the west of Dongshanyue, let the camelina go west to lay a few villages, and congratulate my clan's daughter."

"It's... This ......"

The Shanyue envoy never thought that Li Yuanxiu would make such a rectification, and was stunned for a moment, the so-called fiefdom is meaningless to a clan daughter who marries out and has no real power, it is nothing more than the use of more fief taxes, so he had to reply:

"Can the fiefdom take one or two places from the Dongshan Yue villages, my king will not be stingy, the territory is turbulent, I'm afraid it is not suitable to use swords and soldiers..."

Li Yuanxiu frowned, and without waiting for him to finish, he interrupted menacingly:

"Is this the sincerity of your king?!"

Shanyue is weak, and he wants to survive on the snort of the Li family, this messenger naturally became a soft-footed shrimp, and when Li Yuanxiu was bluffed like garlic, he suddenly kowtowed like pounding garlic, shouted for mercy, and hurriedly said:

The villain will repay the king, and there will be an answer in a few days...... Please also ask the young head of the family to forgive the sin! ”

"Let's go down."

Li Yuanxiu waved his hand, and the man hurriedly retreated, and a clan soldier led a person up, also dressed in Shanyue costumes, but knelt down with his fists clenched, and said in a deep voice:

"Young master!"

"What news did my sister bring back?"

Li Yuanxiu raised his head and asked, and saw that Shanyue took out a thick stack of cloth from his arms, and replied respectfully:

"The princess has recorded the many arrangements of the shepherd's throne and the distribution of the mountain and the mountain in the middle of the country, all in this volume."

Li Pingyi below stepped forward to take it, Li Yuanxiu nodded with a smile, and said softly:

"Go back to the sister of the clan and say that she will be her mother first, and I will find a way to reunite her with her family in the next few years."

"Yes."

The man thanked and retreated, and Li Yuanxiu took the stack of cloth from Li Pingyi, who came up, spread it out and read it for a while, and muttered:

"Three early stage of Qi training, one middle stage of Qi training, all of them are miscellaneous qi cultivators, this Shanyue is inevitably too weak, no wonder Camellia calmed the country in one breath, and he didn't dare to wait, so he came to cling."

Li Yuanxiu was reading, Li Yuanjiao was already standing in the courtyard, glanced at the Shanyue man with the letter, and waited until this person withdrew from the courtyard, and then spoke:

"Brother, although our clan sister is a small sect girl, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Mu Jiaoman was so wary of her before her death, but she was able to quickly win the support of the forces after Mu Jiaoman's death, and it was not easy to collect information in such detail and place people in the caravan to return."

"Hmm."

Li Yuanxiu nodded, and while reading the letter in his hand, he replied:

"When I chose the daughter of a small sect to go to the west, I was also carefully selected, and the people I brought were also loyal, and when she returned, I wanted to give her a credit for it."

The Li family married in the past, naturally no more than Mu Yalu married alone, and the daughter of the sect could not only return to save her relatives every year, but also brought a lot of loyal people.

Li Yuanjiao listened to his brother's speech, nodded in agreement, and then said:

"Brother, he has broken through the fifth layer of fetal breath, and he has been persuaded by me to go back to retreat, and those spiritual fruits have also been sent to him, and after passing the difficulty of the Yujing Wheel, with the help of spiritual objects, he should try to break through the cultivation of qi within two years."

"Okay."

Li Yuanxiu nodded slightly, thought for a few breaths, and said softly:

"I'll also go up the mountain myself to talk about it, so that the house can prepare that miscellaneous gas."

Li Yuanjiao chuckled and replied:

"I listened outside for a while, my brother's method is really good, force the new king of Shanyue, even if he takes down one town or two towns to the west, in the end it will still belong to my Li family."

Li Yuanxiu's rather similar faces to Li Yuanjiao evoked a smile, which was more relaxed than Li Yuanjiao's sharp eyebrows, looked at the brothers below, and replied:

"You and I know the plan at home, but it's just to make up for it, since Wushan is closed, the Shanyue villages in the west must have lost their reliance, according to the news that came back, the camelina should also have the heart of the westward invasion, I just find some reasons for him."

"When he annexes a few more villages for my family, the soldiers and horses under his command will also cost the people and money, and create more killings, and it will be more justified for him to replace this person."

"It's still my brother who thinks carefully."

Li Yuanjiao praised with a smile, Li Yuanxiu waved his hand and replied:

"It's just a convenient one, and it doesn't have much impact on the situation, but it just makes the calculations smoother later."

"As for the clan daughter who married in the past, who does the elder brother plan to let go?"

Li Yuanjiao asked, and Li Yuanxiu took his eyes off the letter in front of him and said softly:

"No one will send anybody."

Li Yuanjiao was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what his brother meant, and said in a low voice:

"I know my brother's love for his people, but is it safe?"

"Oh."

Li Yuanxiu nodded with a smile and replied:

"Go to the town to find a reliable family who is willing to give out a woman with wealth, and send the girl to train her, not to mention whether the camelina can find out, even if you notice that something is wrong, you have to pinch your nose and bear it, do you dare to say something? When Dongshan is more controlled by my family, and then takes it back, she can still get the name of a branch, and naturally a lot of people are willing to do it. ”

Li Yuanjiao lowered his eyebrows slightly, his love for the clansmen was different from Li Yuanxiu, it was all based on friendship rather than bloodline, and in his heart he was biased towards really sending a daughter over to appease the camelin, even if there was a chance that he would not want to startle the snake, but since Li Yuanxiu said so, he had no choice but to nod and say in a deep voice:

"It's good if my brother is sure."

Li Yuanxiu looked at him, saw that he had a different meaning in his heart, put down the things in his hand, and said softly:

"Shepherd's Wood is asking for the daughter of a small sect, the people of the small sect mainly have five veins, since the time of the great-ancestor, these five veins have been separated, several old people are very old, and they don't talk much on weekdays, but they also have to pay attention."

"These people are very close to our relatives, they are the right-hand men of the family, there are several clan elders who can speak in front of their fathers and uncles, if they really marry off the clan daughter for nothing, the clan elders and uncles in the family will have great opinions...... Harmony in the family is paramount. ”

Li Yuanjiao pursed his lips and replied:

"Who cares what they think, it's just a bunch of mortals."

"Jiao'er!"

Li Yuanxiu shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"The reason why the family can be closely linked together is that the secrets of the exercises are passed on in an orderly manner, and the second is that the family is humble and respectful to the old and loves the young.

"The younger generations are all learned, what do you do today, everyone remembers it in their hearts, don't look at those clan elders who nagging on weekdays, thinking about seeking some benefits for their children and grandchildren, but they also understand the big right and wrong, and restrain the descendants from daring to do anything to lose, and the existence of the clan has their share of credit."

Li Yuanxiu stared at his younger brother's eyes and explained:

"If these old people meet their children who have done something degrading to the family, they will even go to the main courtyard of the clan to expose it in person with crutches, they understand the importance of the family atmosphere, and deep down they also want the family to be good."

"What's more, for the sake of the family, Uncle Qiuyang and the monks of several small sects are all diligent, and if you marry their children like this today, they will slaughter the camellia tomorrow, which will make these people's hearts cold."

Li Yuanjiao opened his mouth, he never thought that Li Yuanxiu thought so far-reachingly, and he nodded in his heart to the nagging clan bosses, nodded and said in a low voice:

"The little brother has been taught!"

Li Yuanxiu nodded approvingly and continued:

"In the past, there were no powerful monks in the main lineage, and it was right to be wary of the small sect branches, but now the main line is prosperous, and the uncle's swordsmanship is a must, these small sects and branches are the right-hand men of the family, what we have to do is to win over and favor, and treat them as our own people."

Li Yuanjiao nodded in response, the brothers looked at each other and smiled, Li Yuanxiu asked a few warm words, and then smiled:

"I've broken through the second layer of fetal breath."

"Really?"

Li Yuanxiu started cultivating earlier than Li Yuanjiao, and Li Yuanjiao quickly broke through the Xuanjing Wheel with the help of the talisman, and broke through the second-layer Chengming Wheel of Fetal Breath a few months ago, Li Yuanxiu broke through a few months late, and the speed was not bad.

"You guy, what's so fake about this."

Li Yuanxiu looked at Li Yuanjiao and grinned, calculated the time, and said with some embarrassment:

"Seeing that the day of the sacrifice is approaching day by day, several elders are breaking through the retreat, and the sacrifices have not been settled, I have already arranged it, but I am afraid that a few elders will miss the time if they don't go out of the customs again."

————

There are three stone chambers in the cave on the Meiqi Peak, Li Tongya, Li Xuanxuan, and Li Xuanfeng are in retreat, and Li Xuanling is concentrating on cultivation in the lobby, sitting on the futon on the ground for a night, the door at the entrance of the cave house shook slightly, and the two clan soldiers retreated in response, and walked in a woman wearing a white robe, with a dignified face, looking at him with a smile.

"Husband."

Lu Wanrong is now a third-layer cultivator, and his strength is also good among monks with foreign surnames, he stepped forward with a smile, holding a bamboo food box in his hand, and put it on the stone table, Li Xuanling saw this and said softly:

"It's good to let them send it up, but I'll have to trouble you to make a trip."

The first four layers of qi and blood of the monks of the fetal breath realm are vigorous, and the amount of food is getting bigger and bigger, once they break through the particularly critical Yujing wheel, they are beyond the realm of mortals, and the amount of food suddenly becomes smaller, and when they break through the qi training and become a god and longevity of the qi eater, they can only eat the wind and drink the dew, only need to drink some pure water, if you want to eat, you also have to eat some spiritual flesh and spiritual rice, and the mundane food is easy to hinder the cultivation of diligence.

Li Xuanling's fetal breath is five layers, there are still one or two steps away from practicing qi, he needs to eat, about a day or two to eat, and now that his family is rich, he naturally eats not ordinary rice noodles, but some spiritual rice and demon beast meat.

Lu Wanrong opened the food box and took out two cages up and down, one box was steamed white and clean spiritual rice, and the other box was a few slices of tender red monster meat.

Li Xuanling took the jade chopsticks from his wife's hand, chewed slowly and solved the food in front of him, Lu Wanrong handed him the tea and let him drink it, and then said in a low voice:

"Yuanyun hasn't come down the mountain for more than a year, I've always been very worried in my heart, this kid is silent, in fact, his heart is very high, and he refuses to share ...... with us after such a blow."

Li Xuanling was stunned for a moment, his expression was quite helpless, he was vaguely guilty, and said astringently:

"I don't know!"
