Shenzhou calendar, 9987 years, the city of Tangzhou, the Hou Mansion of Tangzhou.

"Little Hou Ye, how are you feeling now?" Seeing Li Lin's golden light piercing through the void, Chunhua raised her eyebrows, and asked with a slightly excited little face.

"I've broken through the Innate Realm. Li Mu nodded, hearing this, Chunhua and Qiuyue were bent in their eyebrows, the corners of their mouths were curled, and their faces were flushed, and they were even more excited than their own breakthroughs.

"Thank God, the little marquis has finally broken through the innate realm. Chunhua put her hands together, leaned over and bowed, muttering to herself.

"Little Hou Ye, now that you have broken through the Innate Realm, there is no reason for the group of people in the Sect Elders Association to stop you from inheriting the rights of the Hou Mansion. Hmph!" "Qiu Yue is the mentality of a little girl, and any dissatisfaction in her heart is shown on her face, without concealment.

"Sect Elders?" Li Lin's eyes froze, and he fell silent, secretly recalling the information about the sect elders.

The Clan Elders' Association, the place where the clan power of the Li family gathers, is in charge of the Li family members' name book, and according to their personal qualifications, they are divided into concubines and concubines, which is a sharp sword on the members of the Li family. Generally speaking, the Li clan members committed crimes in Tangzhou, except for unpardonable crimes, they were all sentenced by the Zonglao Association, unless the Great Shang Imperial City Chaoge announced another sentence.

The Clan Elders' Association is in charge of the Li clan's internal rewards and punishments, rewards and punishments, while the Tangzhou Hou Yimai is in charge of the administrative, military, and legal powers of Tangzhou City.

The Sect Elders' Association and the Tangzhou Hou Mansion are listed as the two strongest forces in Tangzhou City, and both belong to the Li family.

When it comes to the Li lineage, we have to mention the origin of the Li family.

The Li family, from the surname Ying, is a descendant of the Gaoyang clan, one of the five emperors of antiquity.

Emperor Yao, the ancient sage Gao Tao Shi once held the position of Dali (the official in charge of the prison), his son Boyi was given the surname Ying, and the descendants of the descendants of three generations of hereditary Dali positions, and their descendants according to the custom of the time, with the official as the clan, called Li.

A descendant of the Li clan was seriously injured and fled to the north, because he ate a plum, his injuries healed and he was reborn, which inspired the bloodline of the five emperors of ancient times.

Ten years later, this descendant of the Li clan made a great name in the Northland, cultivating to the heavens and unparalleled in martial arts. In order to thank the favor of the plum tree, it was convenient for the plum tree to collect refugees and establish a tribe.

The descendants of the Li family then changed the surname to the surname Li, with the Li tree as the totem, from generation to generation, children and grandchildren, day and night sacrifices, endlessly.

The descendant of the Li family is the ancestor of the Li family, and then in the town of Beidi, the war is great, the big merchant Huang Tang personally gave the tribe as Tang, and the location is Tangzhou.

The ancestors of the Li family also made the Marquis of Tangzhou for their merits, fiefdom Tangzhou, and guarded the frontier of Dashang for generations.

Li Lin, the descendant of the Li family, is naturally also under the jurisdiction of the Sect Elders' Association, according to the division of qualifications, although Li Lin's talent is not a Tianjiao, but he is also a genius, so he is divided into a descendant, and the Sect Elders' Association provides resources to cultivate every day.

It's just that six years ago, Li Lin has been cultivating for six years, but there has been no sign of breaking through the innate power, although Li Lin is not weak in terms of combat power, but if he does not break through the innate is not a breakthrough.

According to the order of the Patriarchal Council, the genius is limited to six years.

Those who have not broken through the innate for six years, if they are descendants, they will be divided into a lineage of concubines, and no longer provide cultivation resources; if they were originally concubines, they will be expelled from the sect elder association, and the plaque will be the outer gate, or they will engage in business, or travel, or join the army, or ...... There is no limit to the number of elders, but the necessary resources must be provided to the council every year.

Originally, the six-year limit had nothing to do with Li Lin, after all, as a genius, how could he not be able to break through the innate within six years? Either the Sect Elders' Identification Error or their own laziness, since the Sect Elders' Association established this deadline, there had never been a genius who exceeded the deadline.

Until six years ago, Li Lin broke this period, and he had cultivated for more than six years without breaking through the innate nature, he was the first and only one.

According to the rules, the Sect Elders Association was ready to expel Li Lin from the lineage, but was blocked by Li Shoujiang, the Marquis of Tangzhou.

Because, Li Lin is his only son, once he is expelled from the lineage, he will not be able to inherit the position of the Marquis of Tangzhou, which means that the Li Shoujiang lineage, which has held the throne for nearly a thousand years, will no longer be able to hold the power of Tangzhou, whether it is for his son or for his own lineage, this is something that Li Shoujiang cannot tolerate.

After a dispute, the two sides refused to give in to each other, and the matter became bigger, the clan elders invited the older generation of strong people who lived in seclusion without asking about the world, and Li Shoujiang also invited his father who was in retreat and several good friends of the older generation.

After some discussion, plus the use of force, the clan elders compromised, and there were three chapters of the law.

First: speak with facts. When the sect elders heard that Li Lin had cultivated hard, that he had studied the art of war in the morning, that he had practiced martial arts, swords, and spears in the afternoon, and that he had almost no time to practice Xuangong in the evening, he would not mention the matter of being lazy, and he would test Li Lin's cultivation qualifications again.

If the cultivation qualification is not a genius, but it is a mistake in the original detection, then Li Lin is not a descendant, nor is he a concubine, until Li Lin breaks through within the specified time limit, he can still be a descendant and the heir of the Marquis of Tangzhou.

If Li Lin's qualifications are still geniuses, the cultivation period will be extended (the period is six years) until he breaks through, and he can be a descendant, but during these six years, it will not affect the identity of the heir of the Marquis of Tangzhou.

Second: Speak by force. Martial artists, the first and strongest people, if Li Lin's qualifications are geniuses, there must be geniuses; let him fight with the newcomers (who have broken through the innate and have not condensed the true qi), and if they win, they will still be the descendants and still the heirs of the Tangzhou Marquis; if they lose, they will not be the descendants, they will not be the concubines, and they will still be the heirs of the Tangzhou Marquis.

Third: The Sect Elders Association will no longer provide Li Lin with cultivation resources of the lineage, and the cultivation resources belonging to the heirs of the Hou of Tangzhou will also be provided by the Hou Mansion of Tangzhou, unless Li Lin officially breaks through the innate nature.

This is the result of the discussion between the Hou of Tangzhou and the Sect Elders, and a six-year period was set, and it can be said that both sides have taken a step back.

Six years later, Li Lin still hasn't broken through the innate realm, so he will be expelled from the lineage and abolish his heir status.

As for why the period is six years, this is to ask Tangzhou Hou Li Shoujiang, the original sect elder meeting was set at eight years, but Li Shoujiang pushed out the public opinion and changed it to six years.

"Qiu Yue, don't be rude! You are a little slave, dare to provoke the relationship between the little Hou Ye and the Sect Elders? It doesn't matter if you are executed by the Sect Elders, do you also want the Hou Ye to be punished with you, and get a disrespectful and rebellious name of unfilial piety?!" Chunhua shouted loudly, she knew that once Qiu Yue's words were spread, the Sect Elders, who were originally unhappy with the little Hou Ye, would have an excuse to punish.

Poor discipline and complaining about the elders is a crime, and it is a big crime!

"The slave knows that she is wrong, please forgive the little marquis!" Qiu Yue also seemed to think of this stubble, her face turned pale, and her expression was frightened and uneasy.

"Little Hou Ye, Qiu Yue is young and ignorant, please don't blame Xiao Hou Ye!" Chunhua and Qiu Yue have been together for the longest time, and their relationship is also the best, so they hurriedly interceded for them after scolding.

"Okay, just complain to me, don't let those old antiques hear it, otherwise, once the incident happens, I won't be able to save you!" Li Lin's tone was a little stern and a little heavy.

"Thank you, Master Hou!" Chunhua and Qiuyue both breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Qiuyue, the news of the little marquis's breakthrough will be concealed first, and no one should tell me. A month later is the coming-of-age ceremony of the little marquis, and it is also the time of the six-year deadline. Chunhua instructed Qiuyue, "During this period, you must keep it secret and not let anyone know." ”

"What about Master Hou?" asked Qiu Yue.

"Hou Ye's words。。。。。。 Hou Ye said that it would take half a month before the class returned, and when the time came, I would like to hide it now. Chunhua thought about it, and felt that the less people knew, the better, "Send a message to Lord Hou, the confidentiality is too poor, if it is discovered by someone with a heart, then 。。。。。。 So, it's better to be careful. ”

"Master Hou, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Chunhua felt that she was a slave after all, and it was not good to make her own decisions about such things, so it was better to let the little marquis make her own decisions.

"That's a good arrangement. Seeing Chunhua's arrangement, Li Lin nodded with satisfaction, but a trace of confusion rose in his heart, "It's just... Chunhua, what are you doing here? Why do you say that there are people with a heart, is there anyone who is secretly harming me?"

"The slave and maid dare not deceive the little Hou Ye, this is what the Hou Ye once instructed the slave and maid when he went out on the expedition. When Chunhua heard this, she knew that there were some things that could not be hidden, so she opened her mouth and told a shocking secret, "Little Hou Ye didn't know, when Xiao Hou Ye was born, he was assassinated, and Mrs. fought the assassin with her weak body in order to save Xiao Hou Ye, until Hou Ye came to help. ”

"It's a pity that Master Hou came one step late, and Madame finally 。。。。。。 In the end, it was the fragrance that died. ”

"Master Hou was worried about the recurrence of the old thing, so he asked the slave to keep it a secret for the time being. ”

This is what Hou Ye said to Chunhua before he set out on the expedition, perhaps because he felt that Chunhua was loyal to the little Hou Ye, and the master and servant were one, so he let him know, so as to beware of the upper and lower levels of the house.

Chunhua cautiously spoke, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly raised, secretly looking at Li Lin, Qiuyue looked surprised, and covered her wide mouth with her hand, afraid that she would scream, her eyes were round, like a pair of copper bells.

"Madam, mother!" Li Lin heard Chunhua mention his mother, his heart ached, and a wave of anger erupted from the depths of his heart, if millions of volcanoes were shaking together, "Who is it?!Chunhua, do you know who did it?!"

Li Lin clenched his hands tightly, his nails were pinched into the flesh, and a trace of blood overflowed, he shouted in a low voice, his heart was extremely angry, but he endured it, still retained a trace of reason, and knew that it was not appropriate to vent at this time.

"Please forgive the little marquis!" the slave doesn't know, but ......" Chunhua confessed, her slender hand moved slightly, and in Li Lin's fire-breathing gaze and Qiuyue's vibrating eyes, she took out a scroll of animal skin from her arms.

Chunhua straightened her messy clothes, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, stuffed the animal skin roll into his hand, and whispered, "This is for the slave and maid before the Hou Ye set out on the expedition, in addition to letting the slave and maid keep it secret, there is also to let the slave and maid hand over the animal skin roll to the little Hou Ye after the little Hou Ye breaks through the innate realm." ”

"Beast skin scroll, could it be that my father has written all the secrets in the animal skin scroll?" Li Lin took the animal skin scroll handed over by Chunhua with one hand, and was about to open it, but suddenly paused and put away the animal skin scroll, "This matter is very important, so be cautious." You guard me in the middle of the night, and I'm tired, so go down and rest. ”

"Little Hou Ye, you haven't ...... yet" Qiu Yue didn't follow, she still wanted to know what was written on the animal skin scroll.

"Qiuyue!" Chunhua grabbed Qiuyue and shouted, "Not yet!"

"Sister Chunhua, I ......" Qiu Yue looked aggrieved.

"Go down!" Chunhua's face changed, and her phoenix eyes froze, and she said coldly.

"No!" Qiuyue's face turned pale, and she looked at the expressionless Chunhua with some fear, her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, and Chu Chu retreated pitifully, which made people look so sorry.

"Okay, okay, Qiuyue is still a child, why bother. Li Lin waved his hand, a little worried about Qiu Yue, "This matter shouldn't have been known to Qiu Yue, she is too simple, and she doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister." ”

"Little Hou Ye rest assured, the slave maid will instruct Qiuyue. Chunhua said, a wisp of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Moreover, it is precisely because of Qiuyue's simplicity that what she said will make some people believe it." The Hou Ye rested early, and the slave and maid retired. ”

Li Lin looked at the back of Chunhua leaving, shook his head, and smiled dumbly, "What an empathetic and good girl." ”

When Chunhua closed the door, Li Lin took out the animal skin roll, his eyebrows ached, and his grief came from his heart, if it weren't for his mother in this life to protect him, he might have been assassinated before he was a minor.

With anger and unwillingness, Li Lin opened the animal skin scroll, only to see that it was written: "My son personally opened: this expedition to Beidi, or safe and sound, or nine deaths." If I die, the position of the Marquis of Tangzhou will be inherited by my son. Doctor Gu Yue, loyal and proficient in internal affairs; My son can be relied on as an arm.

However, among the elders of the sect, the nine elders of the sect have one or two scourges inside, the princes of the inner alliance, and the outer alliance of Beidi, and the plan is very big, so I should be careful and not believe in the sect elders. Be cautious!"

"This, this ......" Li Lin put the animal skin roll on his chest and hid it close to his body, "Why didn't my father say who the murderer of my mother was, did my father not know? Or did I say that my mother's death was caused by the alliance between Beidi and the Zonglao Association, otherwise, why would the words in this animal skin involve Beidi and the Zonglaohui?"

Li Lin can imagine that once Beidi enters the customs, the beacon fire will spread all over the land of Shenzhou in the north, bleeding thousands of miles, corpses all over the field, white bones, piled up like mountains, and the entire north will be in chaos.

"If it is to let Beidi enter the customs, then the purpose of these people has been achieved. Li Lin pondered, he didn't understand why the Sect Elders' Association joined forces with Beidi, you must know that if it is not my race, its heart will be different, Beidi has been a disaster for thousands of years, and it cannot be destroyed in one day.

"However, Beidi has always killed people without blinking, even if there have been scum of the human race who turned their backs on the human race and took refuge in Beidi, but without exception, the final result was to be enslaved by Beidi, and life and death were not as good as death! Moreover, what does this matter have to do with my mother?"

Li Lin couldn't figure it out, the cause and effect of the incident was like a fog, which made him fall into a dream, and he didn't know why, "It seems that I have to wait for my father to come back." ”
