The first snow of winter drifted across the entire barren state, burying the chaos everywhere and the remains left by the demon corpses of the six realms.

All disputes seemed to be covered in the snow, and everywhere fell into a rare silence.

Snow passed over the city.

There are many cities with historical heritage in Huangzhou, but if you talk about the oldest cities, there will definitely be a place for Yuncheng.

Because it is the capital of the imperial family.

This race, which was once comparable to the five major factions, is better than the first-class forces of ninety percent even if it is now declining, and there are as many as seven strong grandmasters in the sect, and in terms of background, it is even better than the Shangqing Palace and Ling'er Mountain.

If he didn't count the Holy Sect, among the first-class forces today, only Xiao Yushan and the Huangfu family could suppress him.

The snow sprinkled all over Yuncheng, adding Sanfeng's cold arrogance to this ancient city.

The number of the imperial family is not large, so the marriage of every descendant must be recognized by the clan, and Qiu Xiaoli, as the princess of the imperial clan, has attracted the attention of all the clansmen.

Some people want her to feel happy, but that's only a minority.

More people still agree with the patriarch's opinion, marrying Qiu Xiaoli to Xue Wuye and marrying Wanxiang City, and the ideas they hold are actually the same as before the Holy Sect.

And Xue Wuye is undoubtedly the best choice.

Ye Xiu has now become the personal transmission of the head of the Warden Division, and the future is promising, but the Warden Department is extremely special, similar to Tianting and Sanqi Cliff will occasionally meddle in the affairs of the wasteland, and even the Wuliang Temple has a Buddha walking the world.

But the Warden Department really has a very low sense of existence, and may not be seen for hundreds of years.

Such a force would not bring any help to the rise of the imperial family.

Therefore, Ye Xiu, who seems to have a bright future, has no value to the current imperial family.

Qiu Xiaoli had been very unhappy these days, or she had never been happy since she was forced to separate from Ye Xiu a few years ago, she could understand the choice of the imperial clan, after all, this was the possibility for the entire race to regain its glory.

But she couldn't agree that if a race needed to sacrifice its own women in exchange for glory, then was there still a need for such glory?

In fact, some feelings will not fade with time, but will become clearer and richer, you have even forgotten the appearance of that person, but the unforgettable feelings are still imprinted in the heart for a long time.

Qiu Xiaoli has not forgotten Ye Xiu's appearance, and he has also never forgotten this feeling.

She stood in the courtyard and looked up at the snowfall, which had fallen on her body and turned her hair white.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Beside her stood a young man, who was also a member of the imperial clan, named Qiu Ze, and was also the strongest of the younger generation in the imperial clan, standing fifth on the list of canglans, and was her brother, although he was not a brother and sister, the relationship between the two was not inferior to that of a brother and sister.

Hearing this, Qiu Xiaoli said lightly: "How can you think of such a thing?"

Qiu Ze was silent for a while and said, "I know you like Ye Xiu, but this is the decision of the patriarch, and no one in the imperial clan can disobey it. ”

Qiu Xiaoli thought for a while and said softly: "Maybe it's just that we lack the courage to disobey." ”

Qiu Ze was silent again, he doted on this sister the most, and he had to keep all the good things for Qiu Xiaoli since he was a child.

"Sometimes it's not that we lack the courage, it's that we know that it's the best choice compared to the race as a whole. ”

"Even if you give your sister away?"

Qiu Ze frowned slightly, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he still said: "If this is the best choice." ”

The words are heartless.

Qiu Xiaoli turned his head to look at him, and after a while, he slowly lowered his head and stood in the wind and snow and stopped talking.

Qiu Ze turned around and left the courtyard. 228 Literature Network

The place where he lived was not far from Qiu Xiaoli, about only a few hundred meters away, and when he returned to his palace, his face became colder and colder, and the killing intent in his eyes became more and more intense.

There was a brazier in the hall, and when the snow had just fallen, flames began to burn in the brazier, raising the temperature of the hall a lot and dispelling the cold from outside.

"You're not in a good mood. ”

The flames flickered for a moment, and two people suddenly appeared in the palace, Qiu Ze sneered and said, "You want to marry Xiaoli to Xue Wuye, how can I calm down?"

"This is the patriarch's choice, and we should abide by it. ”

The two men stepped down from above and spoke.

They are two of the seven and five realms of the Imperial Clan.

"The two elders didn't come to me to be relieved, right?"

"Today, Zhibai among the desolate people came to find the patriarch, and with him came Hong Jizhou of the Five Extremes Peak and the other two grandmasters. ”

Hearing this, the anger in Qiu Ze's heart dissipated slightly, and he realized the unusual taste, so he asked, "What is the so-called matter of Zhibai coming here?"

"Kill Li Xiu. ”

"Kill Li Xiu?"

"That's right, he expected that Ye Xiu would come to propose marriage after a while, and the imperial clan would definitely not agree, and with the friendship between Li Xiu and Ye Xiu, he would definitely come to help, so he planned to set up a killing game and wait for Li Xiu to enter and kill him. ”

This is indeed a good game.

But Qiu Ze sneered: "If Li Xiu was really so easy to kill, he wouldn't have been able to get out of the Holy Sect in the first place." ”

The two Emperor Clan elders said, "This time, he may really die. ”

Qiu Ze frowned and said, "What about Ye Xiu?"

"Death too. ”

Hearing this answer, Qiu Ze looked up at the two of them and said seriously, "Ye Xiu can't die. ”

The two shook their heads: "We can't decide on this matter. ”

The coldness on Qiu Ze's face was even worse, and a touch of madness gradually appeared in those eyes.

"Maybe we have another option. ”

The two Grandmasters looked at him in unison.

Qiu Ze said coldly: "If they want to kill Li Xiu, why don't we take this opportunity to gamble." ”

"Bet on what?"

"Just bet that Li Xiu won't die, we might as well stand on Li Xiu's side and help him and Ye Xiu win this battle together, as long as Xiao Li wins, he won't be sent to Wanxiang City. ”

"You must be crazy. ”

"I'm certainly not crazy. ”

"You're not crazy to make such a choice, and if you fail, we'll all die. ”

Feeling the anger and horror in the mouths of the two elders, Qiu Ze's face did not fluctuate: "If it is to exchange Xiaoli's future for an illusory glory of the imperial clan, I would rather choose what I can do in front of me." ”

The two elders didn't speak, their eyes narrowed slightly, as if they were hesitating to kill the rebellious kid in front of them.

Qiu Ze said lightly: "The two elders have been my elders since I was a child, and they take good care of me, and the future emperor will definitely be handed over to me, and what I have to do now is to let my little sister live the life she wants to live." ”

The two elders fell silent, and nodded softly after a long time.
