() After pondering for a moment, Gong Yi Jie spoke: "In this way, this demon god will not plan to empty the white wolf, in this case, why not help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time?"

Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, he continued: "Maybe everyone will think that with the status of my Gongyi family in the Dashang Dynasty, why take the risk of participating in this matter, in case of failure, I am afraid that the entire Gongyi family will fall into a place of no return, but have you ever thought about it, even if we choose to stand by and watch and not help each other, but once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, what will happen to our Gongluo family?"

After a slight pause, he sighed heavily and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after all, the future king of my Great Shang Dynasty, there is not much difference between ascending the throne earlier and ascending the throne later. ”

"If our Gongwan family can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sit on the dragon chair this time, not only will he have the skill of being a dragon, but he will also be able to get a lot of benefits from the hands of the Demon God Society, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone. ”

"And if the ancestor can break through to the Jindan realm in the future, the position of my Gongyi family in the Dashang Dynasty will also be more stable, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sits on the dragon chair, we will have to pay more attention to our Gongdu family, and at that time ......"

At this moment, Gong Yijie talked eloquently, constantly analyzing the pros and cons to everyone, which made many people in the hall cheer up.

Of course, there are also some people who are worried that if the matter is revealed, it will bring unimaginable consequences to the public losing family.

But the next words of Gong Yijie completely dispelled the doubts in the hearts of these people.

I only heard Gong Yijie speak: "As far as I know, it seems that the queen is also secretly helping His Royal Highness the crown prince, and the king is still unconscious, so everyone doesn't have to worry about what will happen." ”

"As for that Duan Chen and Nangong Yao, as well as Lord Huaiyue and Wu Po, even if they are aware of this matter, but with the strength of the four of them alone, they can't set off much wind and waves at all, we just need to send someone to keep an eye on them during this time, until the day of Mu Yun and Princess Biyun's marriage. ”

When everyone in the hall heard that the Queen of Shang was also on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince, they were all relieved and opened their mouths to make suggestions.

After everyone had discussed in the council hall for a while, the old ancestor of the Gong Lost Ancestor spoke: "Mu Yun, Duan Chen and Nangong Yao will be handed over to you to be responsible for this period of time, and if they have any strange behavior, they will come to report immediately." ”

Gong Yi Muyun immediately got up and said, "Obey, Ancestor!"

Then the public lost ancestor issued several orders in a row, and then he waved his hand to let everyone in the hall disperse.

Gong Yu Nan and Gong Yu Ling'er did not have a very high status among the people in the hall, so there was no opportunity to speak during the whole meeting, and after the meeting, the two also left the conference hall separately.

No one noticed that under Gong Yinan's feet, there was a rune paper figure clinging to him, and when Gong Chengnan passed through an uninhabited garden, this rune paper slowly fell off the soles of his feet and flew quietly to a certain guest room in the Xiting Guest Courtyard.

By this time it was already dark.

In the darkness, Duan Chen slowly opened his eyes, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, and with a move of his palm, he put the rune paper figure that had just flown back into the storage bag.

After doing all this,

He closed his eyes again, not knowing what he was thinking, or if he had closed his eyes and recuperated.

There were no words all night, and after the morning light of the next day, Duan Chen and Nangong Yao, accompanied by Gongyi Muyun and Gongyu Ling'er, began to visit the entire Gongyi Mansion.

After wandering around the Gongyi Mansion for nearly a quarter of an hour, the group unknowingly came to the martial arts arena in the Gongyi Mansion.

Gongyi Muyun introduced as he walked: "This martial arts arena is the most frequent place for disciples in the clan to come on weekdays, because whether it is a martial arts competition, or a personal grievance, or a big competition within the clan, it can only be carried out in the martial arts arena, but unfortunately Brother Duan, you came too late, if it is three months in the morning, you will be able to see the grand occasion of the big competition in my Gongyi family." ”

Duan Chen smiled and was about to say something, but Nangong Yao on the side suddenly let out a soft sigh in his mouth, and his eyes stared at one of the rings in the martial arts arena.

Seeing this, Duan Chen and the others naturally followed her gaze.

I saw that around a ring located in the upper left corner of the martial arts arena, nearly a hundred disciples of the Gongyi family were gathering at this moment, and on the ring, two Zhuji monks wearing the same costume were floating in the air.

One of them was an old man with crane hair and a childish face, and the other was a yellow-faced man with slightly curly hair.

Both of them have reached the realm of foundation building and great perfection, as if they are not weak hands.

And at the four corners of the ring below them, the four towering crystal pillars were exuding a brilliant spiritual light, and the spiritual light spread out, slowly forming a giant spiritual power light shield, isolating the inside and outside of the ring.

Seeing this, Nangong Yao couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ling'er, what are they doing here?"

Gong Lost Ling'er Dai frowned slightly: "They are gambling and fighting." ”

Without waiting for Nangong Yao to continue to ask, Gong Yi Ling'er then explained: "The so-called gambling fight is that both sides each take out a thing of equal value as a bet, and then compete in the ring, the winner can take away the bet, and the loser will have to pay an additional fee for opening the spiritual power shield of the ring in addition to losing the thing as a bet." ”

Duan Chen was very curious when he heard this, and asked tentatively, "Are there any rules for this gambling fight?"

At this time, he only heard the public lose Mu Yun smiled: "There are no special rules, but as the party that initiates the gambling fight, you must obey the rules of the gambling set by the other party, such as the other party asks to compete with the strength of the body, the other person cannot use mana, and if the other party refuses to gamble, the other person cannot continue to entangle, this is also a special rule in the clan in order to prevent some disciples from deliberately robbing other disciples of their property." ”

Gong Yi Ling'er said with a little dissatisfaction: "I don't know why my father agreed to this gambling method, over the years, there are not a few disciples who have been seriously injured or even killed because of this gambling method. If you want me to say, this kind of gambling should be banned immediately. ”

Gongyi Muyun shook his head and said: "Born in sorrow, died in peace, dad they don't prohibit this kind of gambling and fighting, and they don't want the disciples in the clan to live too comfortably, and proper competition is more conducive to the development of the disciples in the clan." ”

"And gambling is something you and I want, since you have the ability to respond, you naturally have to have the courage to bear the consequences, whether you win or lose, whether you live or die, they all have to bear it. ”

Gongyi Ling'er couldn't refute Gongyi Muyun's words, so she could only snort lightly to show the dissatisfaction in her heart, and Nangong Yao

nodded slightly, as if he accepted Gongyi Muyun's statement.

This made Duan Chen a little surprised, but Nangong Yao was born in the Nangong family, and if she wanted to come to the Nangong family, she should have a similar situation, so she could accept it so quickly.

After pondering for a moment, Duan Chen spoke: "Fellow Daoist Muyun, I wonder if it is convenient for me to go over and observe this gambling battle? ”

Gong Lose Mu Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and then nodded and said: "Of course this is okay, and the two people who are gambling in the ring right now, there is just one of them who is a beast master cultivated by our Gong Lose family, I think you should not have seen the fighting method of the beast master yet, so it is better to take this opportunity to take a look." ”

When Duan Chen heard this, his heart moved slightly, and Nangong Yao was slightly excited when he heard the three words of the beast master, and hurriedly pulled Duan Chen to the vicinity of the ring.

And the crowd who were watching the battle, Sui Hu also noticed the arrival of Duan Chen and his party, and many people took the initiative to get out of the way, which made Duan Chen feel a burst of surprise in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Gongyi Muyun.

There is no need to think about it, these disciples of the Gongyi family are willing to take the initiative to give them a way, it must be for the sake of Gongyi Muyun's face.

From this point of view, the prestige of Gongyi Muyun in the Gongyi family is really not ordinarily high, and it is no wonder that he can be cultivated by the Gongyi family as the next generation of family heads.

As for the Gongyi Ling'er on the side, as the pearl of the contemporary head of the Gongyi family, and with such an incomparably excellent big brother as a backer, he wants to have a high status in the Gongyi family.

Maybe he can find a way to get some secrets about the Gongyi family from the mouth of this Gongyi Ling'er.

Thinking of this, Duan Chen was about to speak, but a handsome young man who was originally standing in front of him to watch the battle inadvertently turned his head, just in time to see Gongyi Ling'er walking forward, his face immediately showed ecstasy, and he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Muyun, sister Ling'er, why are you here?"

And when the two brothers and sisters saw this person coming over, one frowned slightly, and the other had a smile on his face.

Duan Chen couldn't help but feel a little curious in his eyes when he saw it.

If he wasn't mistaken, the cultivation of this young man who took the initiative to come forward was not low, and he had also reached the realm of foundation building, but judging from the reactions of Gongyi Muyun and Gongyi Ling'er towards this person, they seemed to be quite displeased with him.

At this time, Gongyi Ling'er, who was originally still some distance away from Duan Chen, suddenly came to Duan Chen's side and said, "It turned out to be the little prince, my father asked me and my eldest brother to accompany Brother Duan and them to visit the Gongyi Mansion, but I didn't expect you to be there, little prince." ”

The public defeat Ling'er's actions made Nangong Yao and Duan Chen on the side feel a little surprised, but the little prince was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his eyes immediately fell on Duan Chen with hostility, as if he regarded him as some kind of competitor.

Nangong Yao reacted very quickly, and her daughter's keen mind made her see the strangeness at the first time.

Duan Chen was not stupid, when he noticed the little prince's gaze, he immediately reacted. The little prince in front of him was afraid that he had other ideas about Gongyi Ling'er, but Gongyi Ling'er didn't seem to have any meaning for him, so he used himself as a shield.
