Seeing Bei Tangli's inquiring gaze, Bei Tangyao was secretly angry in his heart, but at the same time he was sneering, but on the surface, he pretended that nothing had happened and he didn't know anything.

After the ceremony, Beitangli also looked at everyone in the hall, but he didn't find the figure in his heart, and his face was slightly disappointed.

Mrs. Beitang coughed lightly and said, "Okay, everyone is hungry, the meal has already been prepared, let's take a seat now." ”

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement, and a group of people sat on a huge dining table under the auspices of Mrs. Beitang, the table was already ready, full of a whole table, it made people move their appetite when they saw it, and everyone was chatting while eating lively, at this moment, Beitangli seemed to inadvertently speak: "By the way, second brother, why didn't you see your brother and sister, the family dinner can't miss her, send someone to call her." ”

Beitang Yao smiled and said: "This is not a big brother, Mingyue has just become pregnant, and her body is a little unwell, and she only likes to eat some light things, so she didn't come." ”

"Huai••• I'm pregnant, hehe~~" Beitangli's tone revealed a rather strong sense of loss.

Everyone present understood Beitang's thoughts, but no one could say anything about this, but at this time, Mrs. Beitang diverted the topic and said: "How long will Li'er stay when he goes home this time, and what is the situation on your father's side." ”

Beitangli also immediately sorted out his mood when he heard the words, and said: "The child is going home by order this time, and the holy decree does not say when the child will go back, it is estimated that the emperor may have other arrangements, so, before getting the emperor's new will, the child has to stay at home, as for the father's words, please rest assured that the mother can rest assured, the father said that the war situation in the east has basically stabilized, and it is impossible for the emperor to do anything to other countries in the east in a short time, but he can't get out as a generalissimo, Let the child greet his mother on his behalf, and at the same time tell his mother to pay attention to his body, in addition, the father also got a few good things that are very suitable for the mother, and this time he also asked the child to bring them back, and the child will personally send them to the mother later. ”

Mrs. Beitang was very happy when she heard this, and said: "As long as your father and son are good, I will be happy, as for anything, I don't care, your father is yes, he has been an old husband and wife for so many years, and every time he goes out, he still wants to bring me something, but I don't know, in my heart, his peace is the most important thing." ”

Everyone present laughed lightly when they heard this, and suddenly Mrs. Beitang changed the topic again: "Li'er, look, your younger brother is about to have a child, and you are also the eldest child, your father and I have been married for many years at your age, but, hey, your father was dedicated to the pursuit of martial arts when he was young, hehe, don't talk about it, how do you think your mother will give you a family affair?" ”

Beitang Li heard this, and said without hesitation: "Mother, in fact, now the child is the same as his father, he wants to pursue martial arts, and he doesn't want to get married for the time being. ”

"Hey, what you say, getting married is just for you to collect your heart, and it's not a mortal woman who is looking for you for your mother, the youngest daughter of Shan Zhongyuan, the general of Yingyangwei in Beijing, is seventeen years old, slim and elegant, and generous, I heard that her martial arts are also very good, and now they are already the cultivation of the Tai Chi realm, and I like it very much for my mother, if my son is interested, I will send someone to propose marriage for my mother." Mrs. Beitang said.

Beitangli was very helpless, so he had to divert the topic and said: "Mother, you see that there are so many elders and brothers in our family now, why don't we talk about it later." ”

How could Mrs. Beitang not see his thoughts, she could only sigh secretly in her heart, and at the same time, she was also glad that Li Mingyue was pregnant, and she could slowly get rid of Beitang's thoughts after that, so as not to cause discord between the two brothers for this woman.

In the evening, Beitang Yao did not go home as usual, but took a few of his guards to the outskirts of the city more than two hundred miles of the Nutao River, this is a wide river about ten miles, the current seems to be gentle, but in fact it is very turbulent, ordinary ships are impossible to drive on it, close to the shore is even more reefs, even if a special big ship hits the reef, there is a danger of ship destruction and death, and even worse, the warrior can not swim in this river at all, Even the powerhouse of the realm of life and death cannot swim in the river for more than a meal, and the resistance of the water is extremely great, the speed of swimming is as slow as a turtle crawling, and the most peculiar thing is that there seems to be a natural forbidden air array in this river, even if it is a bird, don't want to fly through the air.

"Second Young Master, why did you think you came here?" One of the guards of the Na Ho Realm stepped forward and asked with a smile.

In front of these personal guards of his own, Bei Tangyao had no worries at all, and shouted at Da Jiang: "Some people often think about my daughter-in-law, but I can't do anything to him, and I have to pretend that nothing happened, fuck, how can you tell me to endure such a bird anger!" ”

The guards didn't say much when they heard this, and the matter of these two brothers was not a secret, but in their hearts, they all felt unfair for Bei Tangyao, and some of them also felt worthless, just an ordinary woman, but Bei Tangyao sacrificed too much for her, according to their ideas, if Bei Tangyao liked it, he would grab it.

Once he let go of his emotions, Bei Tangyao couldn't control it, Yuan Li swallowed, picked up a boulder more than two people high and threw it towards the river, this time Beitang Yao did his best, the boulder flew all the way to the center of the river before falling, smashing the river water splashing several feet high, but Beitang Yao was the anger in his chest burned more and more, venting frantically by the river.

Mrs. Beitang's courtyard is not far from Beitangyao's courtyard, and when Beitang walked out of Tibet, she couldn't help but look in that direction, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help the worry in her heart, and walked towards the half-hidden moon door more than a hundred zhang away.

Seeing this moon door, Beitangli remembered the Xinyue Building in the Guiyue Pavilion, in that small building, Beitangli closed his eyes and listened to the intoxicating piano skills, and unconsciously, he also confided many things buried in his heart to the woman, however, she never asked more, just listened so quietly, and gradually Beitangli had a feeling of reluctance to leave, without those dirty thoughts, it seemed that there was a pure land for himself, and that person was the comfort of his soul.

The Moon Gate was already close at hand, however, Beitangli's footsteps stopped, and the hand stretched out in mid-air to push the door did not push it away, and slowly retracted, his eyes full of struggle.

Just when Beitangli finally made up his mind to turn around and leave, there was a faint sigh in the small courtyard, although the voice was light, but it smashed into Beitangli's chest like a sledgehammer, making him feel a heartache, and then, a mournful piano sounded, Beitangli heard it, that was when he confided the pain in his heart to Li Mingyue, Li Mingyue played a song for him, and it was at that time that Li Mingyue told him for the first time what happened to him, It was at that time that the thought of wanting to protect this weak and pitiful woman rose in Beitangli's heart, and he couldn't extricate himself from it from then on.

Bei Tangli just stood motionless at the door, quietly listening to the sound of the piano behind the door, suddenly, the sound of the piano became high-pitched and excited, Bei Tangli heard the meaning of the song, it was a kind of complaint, complaining that he didn't have enough courage, that was a kind of blame, blaming him for not showing up when he needed it most, that was a kind of rebuke, reprimanding him for not being domineering as a man, although he made a big fuss about Xitang, but it was only for himself, not his own woman!

Hearing this, Beitangli's heart instantly shattered like glass falling from the sky, turned around, pushed the door and walked in, the layout in the small courtyard is exactly the same as the previous Xinyue Building, a big flower garden, all kinds of flowers in it, a lush old laurel, a small stone table under the tree, two small round stone benches next to the table stand opposite each other, a small carbon stove on the stone table, a small copper kettle on the stove, the kettle is boiling water, it looks like it is about to boil, but a tea set next to it is so familiar, Beitang Li doesn't know how many times he has seen and used it in his dreams.

Just when Bei Tangli fell into memory, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and then a voice that haunted him came out: "You're back." ”

The voice was not enthusiastic or cold, but it was not bland, but it sounded comparable to Xianle in Beitang, and it didn't take long for a woman in a goose yellow dress to come out of the attic, and suddenly saw Beitang can't help but cry out "ah", and immediately hurriedly retreated, raising her hand to close the attic door.

Beitang reflexively rushed over, raised his hand to block the door that was about to close, and said hurriedly: "Mingyue, it's me." ”

"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you." At this moment, a light footstep rushed down from the second floor, and said anxiously.

Li Mingyue didn't speak, a pair of autumn-like eyes glowed with a little light, and after a while, the maid Cui'er ran over, and was also startled when she saw Beitangli standing at the door, but her reaction was extremely fast, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, swallowing back the scream that was about to come out, and only later did Shi Shiran salute and said softly: "I've seen the eldest prince." ”

Seeing that although she was polite, but she had been staring at her with a hateful look, Beitang was not only not angry, but smiled and said, "Cui'er is also there." ”

"I was pregnant with a child, so my mother found Cui'er to take care of me." Li Mingyue lowered her head and said in a resentful tone.

Hearing this, Beitangli's heart hurt like a knife, his mouth was open for a long time but he couldn't say a word, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Congratulations." ”

Hearing this, Li Mingyue raised her head and looked at Beitangli, tears flowed down like short-term pearls, trembling uncontrollably, but the resentment in her eyes couldn't be concealed, and in the end it seemed that her body couldn't support it, and she was about to go limp all of a sudden, but fortunately, Cui'er next to her was quick and held it up, so there was no accident.

Seeing this, Beitangli was in a hurry, stretched out his hand to help, and said at the same time: "Mingyue, listen to me, I'm not ••••••"

However, at this time, an angry shout interrupted his next words: "Beitangli, what are you doing here?" ”

As the words fell, a figure appeared beside Li Mingyue like lightning, firmly protecting her behind her, and shouted at Beitangli with an angry face: "This is my courtyard, your courtyard is in the northeast corner, please leave now, you are not welcome here!" ”

"No, second brother, listen to me, things are not what you think, I ••••••" Beitangli hurriedly explained.

"Get out, I don't want to hear you, you get out of here!!" Beitang Yao was completely furious.

"Well, that's ••••••." Bei Tang Li wanted to say something more, but when he saw Bei Tang Yao's eyes that seemed to be about to eat people, he chose to shut up, turned around and walked out, however, when he walked out of a distance, he suddenly heard a heavy door slamming behind him.

In the attic, Beitangyao hugged Li Mingyue in his arms in distress, kept admitting his mistakes and apologizing, saying that he shouldn't come back so late, and at the same time kept saying good things to comfort his wife, but Li Mingyue didn't seem to hear it, just crying.

Bei Tangyao became more and more worried, his body was a little trembling, if it weren't for his wife in his arms now, he would probably have to rush over to find Bei Tangli desperately, after a long time, Li Mingyue finally stopped crying, stood up, wiped the tears on his face with his hand, and said softly: "Look at me, you know that you are crying, you are crying, you haven't even drunk the tea when you come back, and now the water is probably already boiled, you wait, I will go and ask Cui'er to change a pot of water, and it will be fine soon." ”

When Beitang Yao heard this, he suddenly felt a pang of colic in his heart, grabbed his wife and said: "Mingyue, I don't want you to wronged yourself, you should beat me and scold me now, I want you to be happy and happy, as long as you can be happy, no matter what you want me to do, even if you want my life, I will give it to you without hesitation." ”

Li Mingyue suddenly became anxious, stretched out her hand and pressed Beitangyao's mouth, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, I am your wife, and now I have a child, even if I am a little wronged, what is it, as long as you are good, as long as your brothers don't contradict me for me, what is a little grievance, I don't allow you to say such stupid things again." ”

After speaking, Li Mingyue's little hand gently stroked Beitangyao's face again, and said: "As long as I can be with you, I will be satisfied, you see, we now have a small courtyard, an attic, with the care of the family, the care of the mother, and we will have a child in the near future, in fact, I already have a lot, don't always think about what grievances I have suffered, in fact, I am already very happy, very happy." ”

Beitang Yao didn't know what to say anymore when he heard this, hugged his wife again, and immediately printed the cherry mouth that was not enough no matter how many times he kissed it, but he got a warm response from his wife after a while.

••••••

Yu Mengshan, Provincial Sin Domain, Fang Lin stood at the top of the Heavenly Punishment Tower, looking down at the entire huge cultivation holy land, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Finally the preliminary construction of this holy land has been completed, even if the current provincial sin domain is to come to four or five strong people who have returned to the void in the realm of life and death to work together, they don't want to break through this ninth-level high-level defensive array in a short period of time, even if the big array is broken, hundreds of thousands of troops will all stay here, several years of hard work, tens of millions of peerless Yuan Crystals have finally achieved initial results." ”

For a while, Fang Lin's heart couldn't help but surge with pride, and suddenly opened his arms, looking up to the sky and roaring, the excitement and sense of accomplishment carried by the roar suddenly affected the martial artists in the provincial crime domain, and everyone couldn't help but follow the sky and roared, expressing the pride in their hearts.

After a while, Concubine Shu came to Fang Lin's side and said with a smile: "Look at you, you have a smug look, how can there be a sect master's appearance, if the disciples see it, your image will be completely ruined." ”

Fang Lin laughed and said: "I'm not one of those old men who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, I have to keep a straight face all day long, most of the disciples in the sect are actually my senior brothers, I grew up watching me grow up, I don't need to pretend to be so old-fashioned in front of them, who told them to have a young sect master." ”

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "Poor mouth, in fact, everyone can see that you are the laziest sect master in the past 10,000 years, you threw everything to your master and a few elders such as Uncle Li, and you ran here to be lazy in the name of retreat." ”

Fang Lin smiled, didn't dwell on this topic, and instead said: "Senior sister, you see, this cultivation holy land of ours, in the future, the powerhouses of our Linghua Sect will be produced from here batch after batch, generation after generation, they will become the mainstay of our sect, leading the sect to continue to grow and develop, and in the end, we will restore the entire Caoyu Continent to the ancient era, and then lead the martial artists of the whole continent to explore the highest point of the martial arts!" ”

"Hehe, I'm very ambitious, I'll always be by your side, accompany you, I won't stop if you don't stop!" Concubine Shu's eyes flashed and she looked at Fang Lin, then pursed her lips and smiled, "Our holy land has already created several masters with good potential." ”

Fang Lin nodded and said: "Well, I know this, like Li Xunru, Hu Tianming has made a breakthrough because of this period of uninterrupted practice, and has achieved an eighth-level spirit array master, Gao Yue and Shuhua have also been promoted to eighth-level alchemists, and it seems that there are several eighth-level refiners, Lao Fan's guy seems to have found two more Yuanjing ore veins and a predecessor's tomb, some of this kid is happy, and there are also many disciples who have achieved a breakthrough in the pole character and entered the Yin and Yang realm, and they can also be smoothly promoted to the Nai He realm in the future. That's a huge gain. ”

Concubine Shu covered her mouth and chuckled, and said angrily: "You, these are more than a year ago, just last month, Senior Brother Gao Xuan and Senior Sister Li Qing both broke through and entered the Nai He realm, according to the test of the elders, their intentions are very perfect, if nothing goes wrong, there is no problem in breaking through to the realm of life and death in the future, and even a higher realm is not impossible, I really envy their pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate." ”

"Haha, it's really a happy event, it seems that I'm really unqualified." Fang Lin said happily.

Concubine Shu wrinkled her little nose and said: "Shan'er, Ah Yin, Haoran and these people have also created a balance of yin and yang, and they have broken through a small level, hmph, have you ever cared about these, and ••••••"

At this time, a call came from under the tower: "Senior brother of the master, are you up there, the sect has something urgent to find, tell you to hurry up." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly when they heard this, and the concubine pretended to be resentful and said, "Hey, why is it so difficult to talk alone." ”

In the main hall of Linghua Sect, when Fang Lin and Concubine Shu came in, a big man with a tiger's back was already waiting here, Fang Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw this person, and said: "Haha, Hu Qian, I didn't expect it to be you, well, I haven't seen you for a few years, your temperament is completely different." ”

Hu Qian also smiled, and immediately bowed and said, "Hu Qian has seen the sect master. ”

"Okay, okay, it's not a formal occasion now, so don't use these politenesses, you came all the way from the Huanhua Wetland, won't it be just to come to see me." Fang Lin said with a smile.

Hu Qian said: "Coming to see the sect master is also something I have always wanted to do, but over the years, we have opened the trade routes of several nearby countries in the Huanhua Wetland, and the benefits over the years have been getting better and better year by year, and we are so busy all day long that our feet do not touch the ground, this time there is indeed a big event, so Lord Yang Bing sent me to ask the sect master for help." ”

"Oh? If you can make it difficult for you all to deal with, then I'm afraid it won't be an ordinary opponent. Fang Lin didn't seem to be surprised by this at all.

Hu Qian was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "The sect master is not surprised by this at all? ”

Fang Lin smiled slightly: "What's the surprise, once the Huanhua Wetland is successfully developed, the income brought by a year will be crazy, but to my surprise, with the current income of these trade routes, it should not attract the attention of any powerful forces." Fang Lin said.

Hu Qian said: "Hey, it's the Yeyue Empire, they took a fancy to our Huanhua Wetland, and sent an envoy to recruit us five days ago, promising very generous treatment, and also threatened that if we don't surrender, we will send a large number of strong men and troops to exterminate us, Lord Yang Bing and Lord Qiu Jinfeng suddenly had no idea, and they were afraid that the message would not be clear, so they sent me to find the sect master." ”

Fang Lin didn't talk immediately, but lowered his head and pondered, his fingers tapped on the coffee table next to him, Hu Qian didn't bother, just looked at him with a smile, about the time of tea, Fang Lin spoke: "Yeyue Empire, how could they go to the Huanhua Wetland to intervene, it stands to reason that the income there now can't enter Li Tianyou's eyes at all, and the energy spent there is not proportional at all." ”

Hu Qian was stunned when he heard this, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that the Yeyue Empire's recent actions over there are not known to the sect master?" ”

Fang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "During this time, my energy has been focused on the Shang Kingdom's side, you know, the Yeyue Empire is very likely to come to stand up for the Shang Kingdom, so the situation over there is ••••••."

Hu Qian suddenly realized, and said: "Last year, the Yeyue Empire took the Nanyue Kingdom, and the soldiers pointed directly at the former Yu Kingdom, oh, now it is called the Zong Alliance Country, the Sect Master should know that it is supported by the three major countries in the west, just last month, the left and right eagles of the Yeyue Empire attacked this sect alliance, and as a result, a big war came down, and there were mutual damage, but the sect alliance country kept its own border pass, so Lord Yang Bing guessed that the main purpose of the Yeyue Empire to subdue the Huanhua Wetland was to attack the sect ally on both sides through this side. ”

"Flanking the Sect's allies, pinching the Sect's allies." Fang Lin repeated lightly twice, and suddenly sneered: "I'm afraid it's more than that." ”

Hu Qian was stunned when he heard this, and asked casually, "What do you mean?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to explain, but he saw Concubine Shu waving her hand at him, and after a serious look, he found that Fang Lin's mind was not on him at all, but lowered his head and groaned.

Suddenly, Fang Lin raised his head and said, "Hu Qian, do you know the situation in Linyue and Shangnan?" I mean, did they belong to the Yeyue Empire? ”

Hu Qian pondered for a while and said: "I just know this, although the two countries of Linyue and Shangnan are not big, they add up to the same as the current area and population of our sect, but they are allied for generations, and the folk customs of the two countries are extremely strong, although there are not many strong people who show it, but the terrain of the two countries is very dangerous, and the most important thing is that the two countries have produced a very famous ninth-level spirit array master, it is said that he is a registered disciple of the ancestor of the Dongfang family back then, since the Dongfang family was destroyed, This master instigated the two countries to oppose the Yeyue Empire. ”

"Hu Qian, you still said that you missed a little." Concubine Su suddenly interjected.

This sentence startled Hu Qian, and he immediately said with a frightened face: "Sect Master Mingjian, I, Hu Qian, have never had any other thoughts. ”

Fang Lin felt a little funny, and said, "What are you nervous about, we didn't say that you have any other thoughts, Senior Sister means that there is still an important force in these two countries, you missed it." ”

Hu Qian was stunned when he heard this, but Concubine Shu didn't give him time to think about it, and said with a grin: "That's the Tianxuan Sect that moved the world with the name of Xuanwen." ”

Hu Qian slapped his head when he heard this: "It's really damned, such an important force, how can you forget it, I just said, with the strength of the Yeyue Empire, even if you bear a little loss, you can attack the two countries, why don't they move, it turns out that the real reason is here." ”

"Yes, with the existence of Tianxuanzong, then I am afraid that every grass and tree in the two countries can have extremely strong lethality, that is the real grass and trees, if anyone dares to break in, then I am afraid that even if they don't die, they will have to shed their skin." Concubine Su said with emotion.

"Hehe, but the trade route we opened in the Huanhua Wetland happens to connect the five countries including us, which also gives the Yeyue Empire a great convenience, that is, if they really take the Huanhua Wetland, it is equivalent to holding some of the other four countries in their hands to a certain extent, and they can form a flanking attack on a certain country with the domestic army at any time, and they can count in one fell swoop, it's really a good calculation." Fang Lin sneered.

Hearing this, Hu Qian immediately understood, and said, "It turns out that our Huanhua Wetland still has such important strategic significance for the Yeyue Empire, but unfortunately, their plan is about to fail, hehe." ”

Concubine Shu also covered her mouth and chuckled: "Yes, it seems that we had a layout in the Huanhua Wetland a few years ago, and now the Yeyue Empire wants to get control of the wetland, hmph, it's just a dream, junior brother, I suggest, let's immediately block the trade route to the Yeyue Empire, so that they don't even have the possibility of entering the wetland, I see what they use to threaten us, hehe." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Lin said something that shocked both Concubine Shu and Hu Qian.
