Chapter 124: Ancestor's Attention
Quietly staring at the few juniors in front of him, Li He was very clear about their ambitions, knowing that almost everyone of his juniors was eager to get out of the misty forest, eager to participate in the battle for hegemony in the Western Continent, and become the existence of the dominant side in the Western Continent.
This is not only the ambition of Li and these juniors, but also the common ambition of the powerful races in the entire city in the forest, which dominate the depths of the forest, but no one has yet stepped forward to become the leader, so all the races in the city in the forest have always had the ambition to dominate the Quartet, but they have never stepped out of the forest.
Now, the Divine City that blocked them from going east has disappeared, and the various ethnic groups that occupy the city in the forest have naturally begun to yearn for the east again, hoping to get out of the forest and make contributions on the western continent.
Li He has long seen the unbearable ambition of his juniors, but he doesn't want his juniors to take risks.
Li He, who has traveled to the Western Continent, knows very well that the Western Continent has their unique civilization, and there are also powerful gods, which are by no means comparable to these juniors in front of him, even if he has the power of the god level, he does not dare to say that he can spell out a piece of heaven and earth in the Western Continent.
Seeing that Li He didn't speak for a long time, the woman next to the middle-aged man finally couldn't bear it, regardless of the eyes of others, she stepped forward and said, "Ancestor, the current crisis in the Western Continent is the best time for us to go east. ”
Speaking of this, the woman paused for a moment, looked up at Li He's expression, and made sure that Li He was not angry, before the woman continued: "With your strength, Old Ancestor, plus all the clans in the city of the forest, I believe that we will be able to quickly rise in the Western Continent when we break out of the misty forest, and we will definitely be able to dominate the Western Continent at that time." ”
Li He didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but looked at a few people carefully, and then said softly, "Do you all think so?"
Seeing Li He asking softly, the worry in the hearts of several people suddenly disappeared, and the middle-aged man led by him stepped forward and said, "Back to the ancestor, our brothers and sisters feel that we can go east. ”
"Since you think you can go east. Then why do you come to ask me? What to discuss with me? I have already set the rule that the head of the family changes every 100 years, and the generation at the helm of foreign affairs can make a decision, and there is no need to ask. ”
Hearing Li He say this, the middle-aged man hurriedly said respectfully: "But Ancestor, over the years, several other families in the city in the forest have been secretly accumulating strength, and it seems that they have a great heart of disobedience, and this time they are heading eastward." If there is no ancestor in charge, those families will not be stable. ”
"Huh?" Li He looked at the middle-aged man when he heard this, and saw that although the latter was submissive on the surface, there was actually a trace of anger hidden in his eyes, as if he had a plan in his heart, but he was afraid that even Li He was in his calculations.
After knowing this, Li He retracted his gaze and continued to say slowly: "Li Mingyu, what you are afraid of should be the Garuda clan, right? Speaking of which, you and they are also blood relatives, do you think they will really have wolf ambitions. Do you want to plot your nephew's position?"
As soon as Li He's words came out, the middle-aged man Li Mingyu was suddenly silent, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a long time.
On the contrary, it was the blue-haired and blue-eyed woman beside him who opened her mouth and said to Li He, "Ancestor." All races are related to us by blood, but they are still ambitious, so we must not be unguarded. ”
As soon as the woman's words fell, a man with brown hair behind him stepped forward and chimed in: "Not bad." Ancestor, you don't know, all these years. Those hidden powerhouses have been studying your bloodline behind their backs, and have begun to look for the secrets of your bloodline, if they find out the secrets of your bloodline, I'm afraid they will immediately turn their faces. ”
"Oh, are they looking for the secrets of my bloodline? hehe, let them find out. Li He didn't have any anger at all when he heard this, but laughed very freely.
Seeing Li He's reaction, Li Mingyu and the others in front of the high platform didn't know how to respond.
After a moment of silence, the blue-haired woman spoke first: "Ancestor, the current situation is really unfavorable to us, several families in the city in the forest covet the Scarlet Castle, if we continue to be silent, I am afraid that once those families gain power, they will never be merciful to us." ”
Li He waved his hand when he heard the words and said: "Okay, don't be alarmist here, Audrey, the strength and heritage of those families can't hide from me, whether it is the Garuda clan, or the group of jungle elves, giant clans and tyrannosaurus clans, they don't have the strength to challenge you, but among your descendants, the strength is uneven, and the strength of the younger generation of them is not as balanced as the strength of the younger generation." ”
Hearing this, several people present couldn't help but bow their heads, while Li He continued: "I know that you have lived too comfortably over the years, and there have been a lot of internal differences, and I have never intervened. ”
"It's just because I think that your kind of infighting is actually a process of survival of the fittest, and I think that maybe this method can make more talents appear within the family and fight for more strong people, but unfortunately, the result is very disappointing, and the infighting from generation to generation has worn down too much of the family's foundation. ”
Hearing this, several people present immediately knelt down, they knew very well the meaning of Li He's words, and they were worried that Li He would settle old accounts with him, so they were all panicked at this moment.
However, Li He did not mean to settle old accounts, and when he saw that several people all knelt down to plead guilty, Li He smiled calmly and said, "What are you guilty of? In fact, this qiē was caused by me." ”
Saying that, Li He's expression turned gloomy, and he sighed: "Actually, if it weren't for my indulgence, how could the family have become what it is today? ”
Li He's words didn't know whether he was talking to himself, or what he said to Li Mingyu and the others, so that Li Mingyu and the others didn't dare to talk at all, so they could only kneel there and listen.
Just when Li He felt sorry for himself and fell into the memories of the past, suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and at the same time, his powerful consciousness captured a trace of familiarity.
Squinting his eyes and sensing carefully for a moment, his consciousness penetrated the hall he was in, wandering and searching in the entire Scarlet Castle, following the faint breath, almost the entire Scarlet Castle, and finally Li He finally found the source of the breath, which turned out to be locked in a certain room in the castle, and a young girl came out.
Li He carefully probed the girl with a strong consciousness, and found that he had never seen the girl before, and it seemed that the girl should have just been imprisoned in the ancient castle.
And Li He searched for a long time, but he didn't find where the breath came from the girl, and he fell into deep thought unconsciously.
A few people kneeling under the high platform. Seeing that Li He suddenly stopped speaking, he fell into a state of contemplation, and one by one he could be said to be bitter in his heart, but without Li He's permission, they didn't dare to bother casually, and they didn't dare to stand up by themselves, so they could only wait on their knees like that.
After waiting for a long time, Li He still didn't wake up from his contemplation, and several people were a little impatient, especially the blue-haired woman named Audrey.
Endured for a moment. Audrey finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said boldly: "Ancestor, in fact, you don't have to blame yourself so much, your original intention is also for the good of the family, and we juniors have not been able to do a good job." ”
As soon as Audrey spoke, Li He's consciousness was immediately pulled back, and Li He, who had woken up, glanced at several people, wanting to ask about the origin of the girl in the ancient castle.
But after thinking about it and giving up, he smiled and said, "Okay." Go back, do whatever you want, and I'll stand behind you." ”
After getting such a promise from Li He, Li Mingyu and the others almost couldn't believe their ears. I was stunned there, and it took a long time to come to my senses, and I was immediately overjoyed: "Ancestor, you." Rest assured, we won't let you down, wait until the internal thorns are resolved. We'll organize an eastward march soon. ”
"Okay, let's all go back, since you are at the helm of this generation, the family's resources should be used by you. "After all, they are all their own juniors, and Li He doesn't want them to really suffer.
After a few words of comfort, when a few people were about to leave, Li He casually asked: "Is the outsider that Li Si captured back a girl?"
A few people who were on the rise, almost without any hesitation, Audrey replied very directly: "Yes, Ancestor, she is a very beautiful girl, and she has good strength, Li Si seems to have some interest in her, so I plan to accept her, but I have already instructed him not to use it as the main room." ”
"Well, this is nothing, our Li family doesn't pay attention to those, if Li Si and that girl are really in love, it can also be used as the main room, but if that girl doesn't have that meaning for Li Si, and can't force others, our Li family can't do that kind of thing to bully men and women. ”
Hearing the obvious warning in Li He's last words, Audrey's face suddenly changed, and she turned her head to look at Li Mingyu beside her, who hurriedly said with a smiling face: "What you said is Ancestor, don't worry, Li Si will not mess around." ”
After that, Li Mingyu did not linger any longer, and led the other people to leave quickly, and the empty hall was quiet again, and only Li He, who was sitting alone on the high platform, was left under the flickering lights.
I don't know how long later, a figure walked out of the dim part of the hall, and when it stepped under the lamplight, it could be cleared to see that the person who came had the same eastern face as Li He and Lucius, with black hair and black eyes.
The person who came walked straight up to Li He, knelt down on his knees and respectfully kowtowed to Li He, and then said in a deep voice: "Ancestor, do you really plan to let them mess around? I think their eastward march must be a conspiracy, their purpose is never to go eastward, and the clans behind them must have some other plans. ”
Li He looked at the young man who knelt down and bowed to him, his eyes revealed endless doting, and then he sighed tiredly: "Hao'er, of course I know that they are all eyeing me, they are respectful to me on the surface, but in fact, they want me to die in their hearts so that they can get my inheritance and treasures. ”
Speaking of this, Li He seemed to be much older all of a sudden, raised his head and looked up at the gorgeous chandelier above his head and said: "But, Ancestor, I am really old, and the so-called gods also have times when they grow old and die, I only hope that when I grow old and die, I can see you really grow up." ”
After a pause, Li He stared at the young man Li Hao and continued: "I only hope that when you are strong enough to return to the East, you will be able to bring my ashes back to my homeland. ”
Hearing Li He say this, Li Hao clearly felt the silence and loneliness in his ancestor's heart, he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only nod and promise: "Ancestor, please rest assured, Hao'er will not let you down." ”
"Okay, very good...... Li He was a little excited when he heard this, calmed down for a moment and said, "Hao'er, you go now and bring the girl who was arrested by Li Si." ”
Li Hao heard Li He's order, without any hesitation, stood up and slowly retreated into the dark part of the hall and disappeared. (To be continued......)
