More than a month ago, after the failure to assassinate the emperor, Xie Qian had already left the Central Plains without saying goodbye.

Hua Zilan entered the grass house, and saw that the portrait of Yunqing Zhenren hanging in the inner hall had been taken away by Xie Qian's seniors.

Hua Zilan took out the letter left by Xie Qian more than a month ago from her arms, she read it several times, and carefully put it in her arms, for her, Xie Qian's predecessor is equivalent to her second master, although Xie Qian in the letter is sincere, hoping that she will return to her lover, but Hua Zilan still can't let go of her knot, when she thinks of the tall and majestic Jin Palace in Qingyang City, she can't help but think of the tragic situation of the destruction of the Chen State more than 20 years ago, and the Yunhua Sect was slaughtered by the Jin army.

At this time, the two laymen from the grass house were the revival elder Lei Xiaoming and his confidant Ji Zhao.

Hua Zilan sneered when she saw the two of them entering the room and didn't say hello, but just took the wine jar left by Xie Qian and poured it for herself.

Lei Xiaoming knew why Hua Zilan resented him and attempted to assassinate the emperor, such an earth-shattering event, even the children on the street knew about it, let alone Hua Zilan.

Lei Xiaoming sat opposite Hua Zilan by himself, sighed, and said: "Zilan, don't blame me, we really had to hide from you to assassinate that little emperor at that time, you still had a good time with him in the past, such a big thing, we don't dare to bet." ”

Seeing that Hua Zilan was silent, Ji Zhao took the initiative to stop the responsibility of the leader on himself, and said: "Zilan, don't blame Elder Lei, I suggested that you be excluded from this matter at that time, I suspect that you and Gongzi Sheng have not yet fallen in love, if you rashly pull you into the gang, I am afraid that things will change unpredictably, and you will rush at me if you have any grievances." ”

Hua Zilan sneered and said: "You don't need to explain, it's nothing more than that you don't trust me anymore, I, Hua Zilan, officially announced my withdrawal from the Revival Association today, and from now on, the road will be facing the sky, and each will go to one side." ”

Ji Zhao was waiting to advise.

Hua Zilan said: "You don't need to explain, I'm not resentful that you didn't tell me about this at the time, if you really pull me in, I may really find Gongzisheng to warn him in advance, Ji Zhao, you guessed right, there is indeed a personal affair between me and Gongzisheng, if he didn't become the emperor, I wouldn't have left him." ”

"What I resent is that you actually dragged my uncle into the water to participate in the assassination of the emperor, and my uncle felt guilty about me because of this, so he left the Central Plains without saying goodbye, and even I don't know where his old man went."

"I just don't understand why the hell are you doing this? When the tyrant of the third emperor was alive, he inspected the world eight times for more than 20 years, and he didn't see you do anything. You seven-foot men are as timid as rats, like turtles with shrunken heads, and you don't even make a decent little move. And you, Elder Lei, crying all day long and not doing a serious job, you know how to cry, now it's good, not long after the little emperor came up, you have shown a manly spirit at this time? I didn't expect you to do such an earth-shattering thing without me, I really admire Hua Zilan! Admire! ”

Lei Xiaoming and Ji Zhao glanced at each other, and the two of them were sneered by Hua Zilan's blushing and white for a while.

Lei Xiaoming thought about it, but still planned to save a little face, and explained: "Zilan, don't you know, at that time, Mr. Jiang had been preparing for this assassination for more than 20 years, in order to prevent the eagle dogs from finding clues to the innocent, he devoted himself to re-cultivating the foreign exercises, and even the magic weapon was re-refined, just in case, Mr. Jiang had already prepared everything seven years ago, only owed the east wind, just waiting for the tyrant of the third emperor to tour the world again. ”

"But I never expected that the tyrant was actually obsessed with cultivating immortals and alchemy, and hid in the Taiji Palace for six years without going out of the house, we really couldn't help it, and finally waited for the tyrant's eighth eastern tour, when we were about to start, the dog emperor actually temporarily changed his route and went to Lingnan to inspect military affairs. You don't know that the aftermath we had laid in advance didn't work at all, and we thought you had fallen unexpectedly. It wasn't until now that the new monarch has succeeded to the throne that we seized the opportunity to hit with one blow, you have to understand that this is a big sin of the Zhu clan, and we have to be cautious. ”

When Hua Zilan heard this, her face relaxed slightly, and she said, "Even if what you say makes sense, you shouldn't pull my master into the water." ”

Lei Xiaoming also looked distressed, and said: "What you said is yes, if you knew that the assassination would not succeed, you shouldn't have dragged your predecessors into the water, and the more than 3,000 brothers that I have cultivated for many years are gone, hey!" ”

Lei Xiaoming remembered that Ji Zhao recorded the scene of the young son of heaven coming out of the golden egg unscathed by the water realm technique, the scene like a god only came into the world, and his confidence in the revival of Chen Guo suffered a serious blow for the first time, not only him, but even the mastermind Lu Guo Revival Elder Xiang Lan was depressed.

Lei Xiaoming suddenly said dejectedly: "Hua Zilan, I won't tell you, you don't need to take the initiative to withdraw from the revival association, I also want to plan to officially dissolve our Chen State Revival Association, this little emperor suffered Mr. Jiang's earth-shattering blow unscathed, maybe the heavens have their own providence, the fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty is still there, no matter how we toss it, it will be useless, our generation still thinks of this revival of the mother country, and after a few generations, no one will remember that there is a Chen country on the coast of the East China Sea, and then it will really be the Great Jin Dynasty for thousands of years." ”

After that, Lei Xiaoming actually began to cry again, and cried out sadly: "Zilan, our generation may no longer see the hope of recovering the country." ”

Hua Zilan was moved in her heart after hearing this, and it was the first time that she was not so disgusted with the crying of the old man in front of her.

Ji Zhao was slightly shocked when he heard this, and said: "Elder Lei, you are the pillar of our revival society, we can't just give up so easily, maybe there will be a chance in the future... Elder Ray ......"

Hua Zilan also persuaded: "Elder Lei, I will not quit the Revival Society, but in the future, if there is a call, it is my duty to Hua Zilan." ”

Lei Xiaoming sighed when he heard this: "Alas, Zilan in the future, I plan to hand over the revival meeting to you and Ji Zhao to manage, I am old, I am in my fifties, the young man has already boiled his head, and now I am more than half of my life, I don't know how long I can live, I don't want to toss with the life of the whole family, in the future, the Lei family will secretly give financial support to the Chen Guo Revival Association, and it depends on you whether Chen Guo can revive in the future." ”

Lei Xiaoming said that, Hua Zilan and Ji Zhao both showed a look of emotion, obviously they didn't expect Lei Xiaoming to directly hand over the power to the two of them.

Lei Xiaoming and Ji Zhao said goodbye to Hua Zilan and left in the grass.

On the way, Ji Zhao asked, "Elder Lei, do you really plan to retire?" ”

Lei Xiaoming bowed slightly: "I have already expressed my position, can I still be fake?" ”

Ji Zhao suddenly understood and said, "Elder Lei, your capital is a bit big?" Is it worth it in order to hold Hua Zilan? ”

Lei Xiaoming said: "Of course it's worth it, as long as Hua Zilan is still by our side, we still have a chance to pull Xie Qian's predecessor back, no matter where his old man goes, Hua Zilan is always Xie Qian's concern, do you understand?" ”

After hearing this, Ji Zhao nodded again and again: "The elder is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire him. ”

Lei Xiaoming patted Ji Zhao on the shoulder and said: "Brother Ji, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, and the position of elder will be handed over to you, as for Hua Zilan appointing her as her deputy, she will symbolically hand over a part of the power, but the core people and horses still have to be under your command, can you understand what I mean?" ”

Ji Zhao naturally understood, and arched his hand: "Elder, don't worry, I will take care of this stall for you." ”

Lei Xiaoming snorted and said: "Now that the little emperor's guard of honor has arrived in Suidu City, tomorrow I have to represent the local wealthy clan to follow Suidu Ling Zhang to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor." This is really funny, on the surface we still have to be respectful, but in private we have to make this little emperor rebel, alas......"

After hearing this, Ji Zhao sighed with emotion: "What the elder said is yes! ”

Lei Xiaoming really didn't want to wade into this troubled water, since the assassination failed, he felt that it was difficult to toss something, such an earth-shattering event, the Jin court must have made a lot of noise, sparing no effort to hunt down the driving force behind the scenes, he has actually been secretly ready to flee the Central Plains, and now he has thrown out the burden of the Fuxing Society, and it is just right to travel lightly......

In the afternoon of the next day, in the old palace of Suidu, the emperor feasted officials from nearby counties and counties, as well as local wealthy families, and everyone gathered in the palace to congratulate the emperor.

Lei Xiaoming, as a very powerful local tycoon, is naturally among the banquets.

Lei Xiaoming looked preoccupied at the scene, and when it was his turn to congratulate him, he immediately changed his expression of joy, stepped forward and said long live, and played a congratulatory speech.

Lei Xiaoming also saw the emperor himself for the first time, only to see Gongzi Sheng's face like a crown of jade, ape arms and bee waist, a good appearance of a beautiful son, it is said that he is still a monk disciple of Yuzhen Sect, and his identity is the Ninety-Five Supreme, so he naturally became the focus of everyone at the banquet.

After Lei Xiaoming faced the saint, he nodded secretly, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Hua Zilan was easily pinched by this little emperor, and it was really a dragon and phoenix among people, and his character and identity were not picked......

At this time, the emperor was very happy when he saw Lei Xiaoming playing a congratulatory message, and said: "Lei Xiaoming? Are you the Dongjun Lei Clan? ”

Lei Xiaoming's heart jumped, and he respectfully stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, Caomin is indeed the current patriarch of the Lei family. ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly: "Well, I think of your father, Dr. Lei, who took the initiative to invite Yingdu into Suidu to persuade the last monarch of Chen State, so that Suidu, a thousand-year-old city, was saved from the ravages of war, and he had merit for the people, and even more meritorious service to my Great Jin. ”

When Lei Xiaoming heard this, he was a little flattered, and hurriedly raised his wine glass and said: "How can the grass people be so respected by Your Majesty, the Great Jin Dynasty, Long live Your Majesty, Lei Mou will drink this cup first." ”

After saying that, Lei Xiaoming drank it all first, and the cheers in the hall pierced Lei Xiaoming's heart like a knife, and at this moment he had to be respectful with a smiling face, rather than obey his fate, and accept everyone's applause.

Of course, Lei Xiaoming knew very well why his father wanted to work for the Jin Kingdom, on the one hand, in order to protect the Lei family, on the other hand, the commander of the Jin army clearly said that as long as King Chen surrendered out of the city, he would keep the temple of Chen Guozong, and King Chen surrendered himself to the prince as a marquis, and the family moved to Qingyang to spend his old age.

It's just that I didn't think about it, as soon as the monarchs and ministers of Chen Guo opened the city to surrender, the commander of the Jin army instantly turned his face and denied people, and slaughtered the Chen royal family, and his father Lei Sheng was so angry that he couldn't afford to be ill, and soon died, and he was also determined to establish a revival society to overthrow the Jin court and revive the Chen State as his own responsibility.

At this moment, Lei Xiaoming looked at the main hall, the Jin court magnates feasted and drank to their heart's content, wantonly discussing the great achievements of the Jin State in destroying the Kwantung States and unifying the world......

"Thousands of rivers and mountains are always love, can you vote for me!"
