Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Rules of the Tang Kingdom and Wanxiang City
The status of Wanxiang City is very high, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with a pivotal position, as I said before, the Warden and the Heavenly Ce are not directors, and the Sanqi Cliff is a group of scholars, and the Wuliang Temple does not cultivate this life, and does not interfere in mundane affairs.
The barren state is divided into five points in the world, but in fact, it is Wanxiang City that really calls the shots.
So no one wants to offend Wanxiang City, the first-class forces are very strong, but for the forces of the level of the five major factions, they can be wiped out with a snap of their fingers.
So no matter where you go, Xue Liangyun is a daughter who is respected and feared.
Among the younger generations of Wanxiang City, the most prestigious is naturally the young city lord Xue Wuye, and Xue Liangyun is Xue Wuye's own sister, so you can imagine how important her status and identity will be.
But now Huang Fuli actually looked directly at Jiang Baigui, his eyes were calm and without any fear, and even his voice seemed very cold.
This is a warning, a reminder, this is the Huangfu family, not Wanxiang City.
Xue Liangyun's gaze sank slightly, a coldness appeared in her eyes, she looked at Huang Fuli, and asked in a cold voice, "What did you say?"
Huang Fuli ignored it, and his calm gaze always fell on Jiang Baigui's body.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Liangyun took a step forward with a proud expression: "I'll let you say it again." ”
In fact, it is still debatable whether beautiful women will deceive people, but the woman in front of her must be unsightly, and it is obvious that she is pampered and habitual, and she has always been high in the world for so many years, and she dares to speak like this to the Grandmaster of the Five Realms.
The reason why the Five Realms are called grandmasters is because they are respected.
Whether it is the realm or the strength of the five realms, it means that it is unusual, even if the strength of Wanxiang City is very strong, but such a wild word is indeed inferior.
This is a very stupid woman.
Li Xiu took a sip of the teacup, feeling that the taste was light, and it was the most appropriate to take a sip after eating.
Huang Fuli still didn't look at her, but stared at Jiang Baigui's eyes, and a touch of coldness gradually appeared.
It's just so bland, just a trace of coldness emerges, but the expression on Jiang Baigui's old face suddenly changed, and He An, the great elder of the Feather Sect who had never spoken from beginning to end, trembled even more, and there was cold sweat flowing down his forehead and sideburns.
He was the Great Elder of the Feather Sect, and the Feather Sect was the top level of all the first-class forces, almost on a par with the Shangqing Palace and Ziwei Mountain, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Five Realms hundreds of years ago.
It is even ranked sixty-first on the Wasteland Heavenly Scroll.
The Five Realms of Huangzhou were much more than those of the Tang Dynasty, so in the later agreed calculations, the Heavenly Scroll of Huangzhou was expanded to seventy.
He Anzai was able to have a reputation in it, and his own influence among the various sects in the Wasteland was extremely deep.
Even if it's just near the end, you must know that it is a scroll of heavens, and as long as you can make a name for yourself on it, it is a great thing.
But when such a person faced the slight coldness that rose in Huang Fuli's eyes, he was covered in cold sweat.
Xue Liangyun was about to speak, but saw Jiang Baigui suddenly tilt his head to look at her, his eyes were full of solemnity and warning, as well as seriousness and coldness.
Jiang Baigui is her brother Xue Wuye's personal escort specially arranged for her, although she has not entered the Heavenly Scroll, but she is also extraordinary, although she is not obedient to her on weekdays, but she is very cared for, but now she suddenly shows this appearance, even if she is stupid, she can see what is behind it.
So he closed his mouth with an ugly face and stopped talking.
The coldness in Huang Fuli's eyes gradually dissipated, and an invisible momentum burst out from the ancient mansions of the Huang Fu family, and everyone only felt that their shoulders were light and returned to their original state.
The solemnity in Jiang Baigui's eyes finally slowly dissipated a little.
"Li Gongzi, you should also know the purpose of our disturbance here, so the old body will not go around the corner. She turned her head to look at Li Xiu, who was sitting quietly drinking tea in her seat, and said in a cold voice, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Prince going to explain something?"
In front of the people of the world, he threatened to let Wanxiang City return a cause and effect, and obstructed more than 40 first-class forces in the Shangqing Palace to participate in the sword test conference, such a thing is not just a simple offense, but has almost reached the point of not dying.
It is no wonder that Wanxiang City will send a Five Realms Grandmaster and his eldest lady to negotiate peace with him.
On the surface, it is an inquiry, but in fact it is a negotiation of peace.
It's normal to bring a Heavenly Scroll powerhouse with you when you ask for sin, but if you don't ask for sin, you will bring a little girl with no one in your eyes.
Since it is not a question of guilt, it is to talk about the conditions and negotiate peace.
But Li Xiu will not negotiate conditions with Wanxiangcheng, and he has no desire to reconcile with him, the cause and effect owed will be repaid, no matter where it is placed, it is a matter of course.
So he still held the teacup and didn't even look back.
This is more than snow and clouds.
Almost instantly, Jiang Baigui's face became gloomy, but he was afraid that Huang Fuli was sitting at the table and didn't dare to make a move.
So he continued to speak: "Li Xiu, my Wanxiang City and your Tang Kingdom have always been well water and not river water, and now His Royal Highness is naturally welcome to go to Huangzhou to experience my Wanxiang City, but you did such a thing when you first arrived, isn't it a bit immoral?"
"Or is it that Your Highness is made of persimmons in Wanxiang City, and everyone wants to pinch it?"
Li Xiu still didn't speak, raised his eyes and motioned for Ye Xiu to bring the freshly brewed teapot, poured another cup to himself, and then reached out and put it to his mouth and blew gently.
The wind blows and wrinkles the tea.
Jiang Baigui's old eyes were not dizzy, but gradually became murderous, and the old locust tree on one side shook, pulling a few leaves from the branches and falling down.
Liang Xiaodao suddenly turned around, and said to her with some sarcasm: "At the beginning of the Xiaonanqiao Incident, the desolate people secretly communicated with Yin Cao and Changlin to set up a big situation, including the participation of the Holy Sect and the Holy Maiden, she pierced her chest with a sword, and scattered invisibly afterwards, but she did not return to the Holy Sect, but went to Wanxiang City. ”
"The Holy Sect has made a deal with Yin Cao, and Wanxiang City has a secret agreement with the Holy Sect, but you say that Wanxiang City and Tang Guojing water do not violate the river water, isn't it a little too funny?"
Jiang Baigui's complexion changed slightly, and the old lady Huangfu Jingyao, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened a gap.
Wanxiang City and the Holy Sect have joined forces to secretly communicate with the Yin Cao, if this matter is true, I am afraid that the water hidden behind it will be bottomless.
"This son should know that you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. ”
"Is it nonsense, I'm afraid Elder Jiang knows it, right?"
Liang Xiaodao raised his eyebrows, and he did not back down.
Today is the first confrontation between Li Xiu and Wanxiangcheng, so you can't take half a step back.
"Since Your Excellency said that my Wanxiang City has collusion with the Holy Sect and the Desolate People, is there any evidence?"
Jiang Baigui stared at him, her eyes flashed with a very dangerous look, her voice was a little cold, but the speed of her speech came out slowly as if she was telling the story: "Tang Guo looks at the evidence and is reasonable, if you want to step on my Wanxiang City to make a name for yourself, why make up this trumped-up charge, but let others see the joke." ”
Liang Xiaodao suddenly smiled.
He stood up from his chair and was about to speak, when a hand grabbed his arm.
Li Xiu turned around, looked at Jiang Baigui, and said seriously: "What I said is Tang Lu." ”
Liang Xiaodao's smile was much stronger.
Huang Fuli at the table nodded appreciatively, feeling that Zifei's gaze was very good.
Huangfu Wan'er glanced up at Li Xiu, a look of surprise flashed on her face, as if she didn't expect this polite-looking young man to say such a thing, and then continued to drink tea in small sips,
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, if it was in the usual times, Xue Liangyun would definitely say a few words, and then use his identity as Wanxiang City to press over, no matter who it was before, he always had to say two soft words at this time.
But obviously this time is different from the past, this unusually good-looking person is not afraid of Wanxiang City, and he doesn't even have the least respect.
Coupled with Huang Fuli's attitude before, she didn't know how to speak for a while, so she could only look at the old woman in front of her.
Jiang Baigui's expression was gloomy, and a seemingly nonexistent killing intent swept around, and he said deeply: "This is not the Tang Kingdom, does Your Highness really think that the old body does not dare to kill you?"
Very few people were able to threaten their lives with their lives in the face of the Five Realms Grandmasters in Wanxiang City, because no one dared to guarantee that they would be able to escape the pursuit of Wanxiang City.
But Li Xiu's face did not fluctuate at all, his eyes were as calm as a pool of water, and even the waves of a moment did not rise.
"I don't think you dare, I just don't think you can't. ”
He looked at Jiang Baigui and said lightly.
Jiang Baigui's face finally became completely gloomy, she came here today to come to the door with the intention of negotiating peace, plus her eldest lady Xue Liangyun is in good shape, if she can become a Taoist couple with the Tang Dynasty, it is also a perfect thing.
It's just that Wanxiang City wants to have the dignity of the five major factions, so he ignored the stupid things he had done before, and then came to question and suppress them with a high-minded attitude.
This is the style of the five major factions.
It's just that today I met a person who is more lofty and wants no one in his eyes.
Therefore, all these styles of wanting to suppress one end have become one short head, and there will be no room for peace in this matter, because Wanxiang City will never ask people to do things.
Jiang Baigui's gaze lightly fell on the bear fat on his lap, and his eyes wandered for a moment and he did not speak, but turned his head to look at He Anzai on the side.
He An was sorting out his breathing, his eyes fell on Li Xiu's body, and his eyes were slightly cold.
The Feather Gate was originally a subsidiary of Wanxiang City, and it was precisely because of the support of Wanxiang City that it was able to become an existence that was not inferior to the Shangqing Palace.
Huang Fuli put down the teacup, and the cup made of white porcelain fell on the table with a snapping sound.
He An's body was shocked, his pupils suddenly shrank a little, and the step he took was forced to retreat again.
Jiang Baigui's face suddenly became very ugly.
"Li Gongzi plans to meddle in the affairs of Wanxiang City?"
She looked at Huang Fuli and asked slowly.
Huang Fuli shook his head lightly and said lightly: "I'm just teaching you what politeness is." ”
He gently tapped the table in front of him with a finger, and then said: "This is a family banquet, Li Xiu is my guest, you broke into my home to question my guest, and now you want to kill my guest, Jiang Baigui, do you think this is a little unreasonable?"
His voice was very faint, as if he was whispering, but it was such a flat voice that made this Five Realms Grandmaster from Wanxiang City speechless.
And dare not refute.
There are many first-class forces in the barren state, there are more than three hundred, and there are also strong enough existences that the five major factions dare not ignore, such as the Holy Sect, such as Xiaoyushan, and Shangqing Palace.
There is also the Huangfu family with only four people up and down in front of him. Excellent reading books
Because Huangfu is very strong, he practiced at the age of 12 and entered the initial realm at the age of 22.
At the age of twenty-two, he entered the second realm, and at the age of twenty-two, he entered the third level.
After ten years of silence, once broke through the three realms.
amazed the world, and then fell into a period of silence again, this time for six years, and not a single realm in six years.
It's just that after learning from the past, Huangfu Jingyao and other forces in the wasteland are not in a hurry to express their stance on this, and they all maintain a wait-and-see attitude, after all, when Meihui was in the past, Huangfu Li was one of the few people who didn't look at it differently.
Sure enough, six years passed, Huang Fuli had a meal by the lake in the morning, and after the meal, he rarely took out a file from the bookcase and looked through it, and then walked around Guiyang City.
At that time, Guiyang City was supposed to be the season of flowers, but on that day, all the osmanthus flowers in the city were in full bloom.
At noon, he walked to the gate of the city, and Xiu Wei had already broken through the wild and arrived at the four realms.
Walking back to Huangfu's house from the city gate in the evening, he has already reached a higher level to achieve the position of the Grandmaster of the Five Realms.
In one day, he achieved something that others could not do in a lifetime, that is, from this moment on, the prestige of the Huangfu family was in full swing, even if there were only four people left up and down, no one dared to underestimate it.
Later, the head of the Heavenly Strategy came to Huangfu's house, talked with Huangfu for three days and three nights, and updated the Heavenly Scroll shortly after leaving.
Huang Fuli ranked twelfth.
Two years have passed now, two years is very short, but for this person who has broken through the two realms day and night, no one knows how strong he has become now.
Only the deciding powerhouses who are ranked twelve high in the Heavenly Scroll can make the five major factions as strong as they fear.
"You can't keep him all the time. ”
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Baigui spoke.
Li Xiu always has to leave the Huangfu family, and although the Huangfu is strong, there is no need to fight to the end because of the Tang Dynasty and Wanxiangcheng.
What's more, although the twelve Heavenly Scrolls are strong, they are still not comparable to Wanxiang City.
"I didn't plan to protect him all the time, but the matter between you and him has to be resolved outside Guiyang City, and I think Elder Jiang shouldn't forget the rules in Guiyang City. ”
The Five Realms Grandmaster was not allowed to do anything in the city, otherwise even if he only damaged a petal, he would be held accountable to the end.
There are rules in every place, but not all the rules in every place can be followed.
But Huang Fuli is very strong, and his talent is very high, so every Five Realms Grandmaster in Guiyang City must abide by the rules.
She Jiang Baigui is naturally the same.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Baigui's boredom in her heart was not alleviated in the slightest, but it was much richer, she naturally considered the face of the Huangfu family when she came here, but she didn't expect that the Huangfu would protect Li Xiu like this.
You must know that you have never heard of any relationship between the Huangfu family and this Tang prince before.
She turned her head to look at Li Xiu, her old but not cloudy gaze fixed on his face, and said slowly: "Guiyang City is a good place, with birds singing and fragrant flowers, and outstanding people, but it is impossible for His Highness to stay in Guiyang City forever. ”
This is a cruel word, and it is not a meaningless cruel word, because it makes a lot of sense.
Of course, Li Xiu couldn't stay in Guiyang City forever, he would always leave here.
At that time, without the blessing of Huang Fuli, what should I do?
The look on Xue Liangyun's face recovered a little, and the pride in his eyes became a lot thicker again: "It's just the first son of Tang Kingdom, and you still think that you are the crown prince?" Since you have come to Huangzhou, you must abide by the rules of Huangzhou, and the rules of Huangzhou are very simple, that is the rules of my Wanxiang City." ”
This is a stupid woman.
Even if they had this understanding before, this sentence couldn't help but appear in everyone's hearts at this moment.
Although the five major factions manage the worldly city the most, there is a vague area in this matter.
You can do that, but you can't say that.
Looking at the huge wilderness state, you Wanxiang City can't cover the sky with one hand.
"The rules of Wanxiang City?"
Li Xiu lowered his head and thought about it, then glanced back at her, then stood up from the chair, took a straw rope from his wrist and tied his hair back behind his head, bowed to Huangfu Li and Huangfu Jingyao, and said: "Li Xiu has just arrived, thanks to the hospitality of the two seniors with the gift of a family banquet, I am very grateful. ”
What does this mean?
Huangfu Wan'er finally raised her head and looked at him seriously.
Jiang Baigui realized something, and his face showed a touch of surprise.
Xue Liangyun felt that this move was very abrupt, could it be that he was planning to flee for his life?
Liang Xiaodao knew what this stupid woman was thinking at a glance, and looked at her with a little sarcasm, her heart was really a stupid woman, it seemed that she had been pampered since she was a child, and she would always have to suffer a lot in the future to restrain herself.
Just like Murong Xue, who acted unscrupulously at the beginning, after being beheaded by Qiao Sanye, she was defeated by the seriously injured Li Xiu at the Mei Hui, since then, this eldest lady of Gusu City has restrained a lot, and until today, after several tribulations, she has changed a lot of her previous bad problems.
"Since Elder Jiang talks about the rules, this world is rising today, so I want to understand the rules of Wanxiang City, what is it?"
He said a few words of gratitude to the Huangfu family, and then got up and walked out of the mansion gate.
Huang Fuli smiled slightly, and the appreciation in his eyes became more intense at this moment
Huangfu Jingyao opened his eyes and glanced at Huangfu Ji.
The emperor understood it very well and got up and walked to the front of Li Xiu to lead the way.
He didn't say anything to persuade him, although he had only met His Royal Highness the Prince once, he also knew that this Highness was a very smart person, and a very smart person would not put himself in a desperate situation for a momentary battle of will.
In this case, it is not a gamble for him to do this, let alone to die.
"Is Your Highness sure?"
It's just that he knows it, but he will inevitably be a little worried, so after hesitating for a moment, Huang Fuji still asked.
The other party is the Five Realms Elder of Wanxiang City, and the strength of any Five Realms Grandmaster is very strong, let alone someone who can become an elder of Wanxiang City.
Not to mention that there is also the Great Elder of the Feather Sect who is following on the side, He An, this is an out-and-out Heavenly Scroll powerhouse, if Li Xiu walks out of the Huangfu family, he walks out of Guiyang City.
Can you afford it?
Just the bear?
He glanced at the fat bear who looked harmless to humans and animals out of the corner of his eye, and always felt that it was a little unreliable, so he couldn't help muttering in his heart, the hesitation in his eyes was even worse, and the pace under his feet couldn't help but slow down a lot.
"Your Highness, otherwise, you should stay in my house for a few more days, with my brother here, I don't dare to do anything to you with the courage of the two of them. ”
A person's doubts about themselves always develop slowly, and this thought grows grammatically over time and without hope.
For example, the emperor in front of him, he was very confident in Li Xiu at first, but every time he saw a lazy raccoon with his spare eyes, this confidence would weaken, and the worry in his heart would be stronger.
Naturally, the movements of the feet become slower and slower.
But Li Xiu never answered him.
At this time, Ye Xiu suddenly walked a few steps briskly and came to the front of Huang Fu Ji, stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve, and then turned around and pointed at Li Xiu.
Huang Fu looked up and was suddenly stunned, the worry in his eyes gradually calmed down, and finally completely dissipated.
Because there was no worry or fear on that face, and the reason why Li Xiu didn't answer his question was not because he was too lazy to answer, but because he seemed to be thinking about something and was fascinated by it, and he was already distracted at the moment.
"Pretending. ”
Xue Liangyun and the others followed behind, and when they saw this appearance, they snorted coldly and said slightly.
When you are dying, you still have to pretend to be that indifferent, who are you showing it?
Everyone's mood has changed differently at this moment, and Huang Fu Ji only felt that his steps were much lighter, and he had already walked out of Huang Fu's house in a moment.
But he didn't look back, but continued to walk in the city with Li Xiu and others.
The ancient residence of the Huangfu family is not in the center of Guiyang City, but in the direction of a little south of the city, which is naturally closer to the entrance of the south city.
But the road he led was not to the south, but to the north, on the contrary.
This is certainly not to delay some pointless time.
It's because the direction of Wanxiang City is just north of Guiyang City.
Since His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is confident that he will be safe and sound, it is naturally the fastest route to take from the north afterwards.
People come and go in Guiyang City, some are idle and some are in a hurry.
But no matter how busy a person is, when he sees Huangfu Ji, he will stop and take a look at him from a distance.
Those who were close nodded and called out to the very young master.
The reputation of the Huangfu family in Guiyang City is quite high, and the Huangfu is the leader of the outside work, so the people in the city respect him very much.
After passing through thousands of osmanthus flowers, Huangfu Ji's footsteps stopped.
The footsteps of the crowd also stopped.
Li Xiu's face was expressionless.
Snow cool cloud eyes with disdain.
The North Gate has arrived.
......
......
