Chapter 308: Can't afford to gamble
"Alas, this qiē is the Fang family pressing too hard, there is really no way, now it's up to you, the prince of Xia, to share the burden of the 'Youjia', which is not light, these years, the 'Youjia' can still hold on. I~~ It's not that I don't want you to recognize Li'er, it's just ~~ I'm afraid that this matter will expose the relationship between the 'Youjia' and you. Although the Fang family has noticed some signs over the years, they only think that your Xia King Li Jiqian and the 'You Family' are closer. If, once they know the relationship between me and you, I am afraid that they will deal with the 'Youjia family' regardless of Yiqiē, and with the current strength of the 'Youjia', they will not be able to block the Fang family's attack without regard to Yiqiē. The woman in front of her is Mrs. You, that is, the mother of Youlian'er, and Youlian'er's father is Li Jiqian. This is also why Li Jiqian forbade his sons Li Deming and Li Dezhao not to have any thoughts about Youlian'er, because they are half-brothers and sisters.
Speaking of which, Li Jiqian's Li family dates back thousands of years, and their ancestors are also from the 'Heavenly Demon Gate'. However, unlike the 'Youjia' and other families, after so many years, the Li family has developed more into the imperial court, and the successive generations have been officials in the court. Just like the previous dynasty, it was their ancestors who were officials in the court, and later had the opportunity to obtain a lot of royal classics from the Tang Dynasty. In addition, they still have some classics from the 'Heavenly Demon Gate', which gives rise to the 'Li Family Arsenal'. The attention of the Fang family in fighting the 'Li Family's arsenal' is mostly for the classics of the 'Heavenly Demon Gate', and with these classics, they can find out some martial arts that can restrain the 'Youjia'. Of course, their Fang family also noticed that Li Jiqian and the 'Youjia family' were very close, so they also took the opportunity to get rid of Li Jiqian.
When Li Jicheng entered the dynasty and was forced to hand over the five prefectures of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing, Li Jiqian escaped with Zhang Pu and others. At that time, Li Jiqian could be said to have nothing. But Mrs. You committed herself to marrying Li Jiqian for the sake of the 'You family', so she got the secret of the 'Li family's arsenal'. It can be said that at the beginning, Mrs. You did not have any feelings for Li Jiqian, just for the sake of the 'You family', but as time went by, Li Jiqian's power became stronger day by day, and he was also infatuated with Mrs. You, but at that time, Mrs. You returned to the 'You family' with the newly born 'You Li'er'. Until a dozen years later. You Li'er grew up, and lived in 'Xiping Mansion' as Zhang Pu's righteous daughter.
"I understand, in fact, I am also very satisfied in my heart, Li'er has been in 'Xiping Mansion' for most of these years, and I can see her from time to time, I know, this is what you mean. Li Jiqian sighed, "The Fang family has indeed discovered a lot of things over the years, and it is precisely because of this. I won't take the liberty of recognizing it, you can rest assured. ”
"When she's older, when she's able to calm down, I won't stop you. Mrs. You said.
Li Jiqian seemed to be a little relieved when he saw her. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked with some caution, "Madam, are you really going to agree to the Murong family?"
Sure enough, as soon as Li Jiqian's words came out. Mrs. You's face instantly became gloomy, and the soft expression just now disappeared completely, and she said coldly: "Yes!"
"Madam, don't you care about Li'er's feelings? I also know that the ancestor of the 'You Family' married the 'Murong Family' in order to fight against the 'Fang Family'. Is that happy? Moreover, did the 'Murong family' contribute to the 'Youjia family' in the end? They are nothing more than watching from the sidelines, taking benefits from both ends, do you still want to believe in some of their bullshit promises?" Li Jiqian said this at once, but when he said this, his face was a little uneasy. Although he is a dignified Xia prince, in front of Mrs. You, he will not argue with her at all, as long as she wants something, he will try his best to meet it. However, today he finally said what was in his heart, and it was for his daughter.
Mrs. You didn't say anything for a while, and was silent for a while before she said coldly: "This matter is not negotiable. Besides, that Murong Ge is not bad, I have also seen it, and he is also worthy of mercy. Looking at the world, there are not many young talents who can enter my eyes, and Murong Ge is one. ”
"Madam, think about it again, will the 'Murong family' fall to the 'Fang family' because you don't marry Li'er? They won't be so stupid, if the family headed by the 'You family' is defeated, what else can their 'Murong family' family do? They will either surrender to the 'Fang family' or kill themselves. What are you afraid of?" Anyway, this has already been said today, and Li Jiqian is also out of the way, and he really wants to fight for this matter. If, if you don't fight now, when your daughter really marries, it will be too late.
"The 'You Family' can't afford to gamble!" Mrs. You said lightly.
"You can't afford to gamble, and neither can the 'Murong family'. Li Jiqian continued, "Besides, Li'er already has someone she loves, can you, as a mother, really bear to let her be with someone she doesn't love for the rest of her life? Do you want to be like the ancestors of the 'Youjia' back then, for the sake of the 'Youjia' to give up your beloved to marry into the 'Murong family', and finally die depressed? It's you, you also married me for the 'Youjia' back then, are you really happy?" In the previous words, Li Jiqian was still relatively loud, but in the last sentence, his voice instantly lowered. Moreover, he didn't confirm whether Yu Li'er had someone he liked, but he said this to convince his wife.
Mrs. You's face kept changing, but in the end, she still said coldly: "Whether she has someone she likes or not, this matter is decided." Regardless of whether she is happy or not, as long as she is a person from the 'secluded family', then she must have this awareness. You, the father, have no right to interfere. ”
"Xiaoyun, are you really so ruthless?" Li Jiqian couldn't help but call Mrs. You's nickname, he really didn't expect her to be so stubborn.
"It's not ruthless, it's for the sake of the 'Youjia'!" Hearing Li Jiqian's shout, Mrs. You's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"'Youjia'? It's a 'Youjia' again? Can't you just let go of the 'Youjia'? It's been a thousand years since the 'Heavenly Demon Gate' disintegrated, and I've been thinking a lot of times, what's the point of you insisting so much?" Li Jiqian sighed, knowing that he had failed.
"Everyone has something to insist on, you have it, I have it. Madame You's tone softened again.
"Okay, I don't want to hear any more of your words, this time I have to tell you when I come over, and the 'Seven Spirits Catalog' of the 'Youjia' can also be handed over together. Mrs. You stretched out her hand to stop Li Jiqian, who was just about to speak, and said.
"What?" Hearing this, Li Jiqian asked in surprise, "This is not good, plus the part of the 'Youjia', it is a complete 'Seven Spirit Catalog', wouldn't it be too cheap if this secret was known to people all over the world? Moreover, didn't the 'Medicine King Palace' want to know the secret of the 'Seven Spirit Knife'? If you handed over the 'Seven Spirit Catalog', wouldn't the exchange of the 'Medicine King Palace' not be able to take place? They said that they could shoot once?"
"The 'Medicine King Palace' is very eager to get it, I'm afraid that everyone in the world who knows the 'Seven Spirit Knife' wants to get this secret, but the 'Medicine King Palace', I can't believe their promise. Mrs. You said.
"Although they have lost their trust in the matter of the Heavenly Demon Codex, the strength of the 'Medicine King Palace' is unfathomable, will this anger them?" Li Jiqian asked with some concern.
"What's this? what do they have to be angry about, now that they can get the 'Seven Spirits Catalog' at any cost, what else do they want?" said Madame Yu with a sneer.
Li Jiqian smiled, he naturally knew this, but at that time, the 'Medicine King Palace' wanted to trade with the 'Youjia', and naturally he didn't want other people to know this secret, if it was made public, wouldn't it be to compete with so many people in the world, even if the strength of the 'Medicine King Palace' was unfathomable, could it be that other forces would be easy to provoke.
"It's just that in this way, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about this, what good is it for us?" Li Jiqian was a little puzzled.
"I don't know, I don't know if it's right or wrong to make this decision, but I know that this may be an opportunity for me to 'ghost home'. The Heavenly Demon Book can't be counted on now, so I hope that the 'Seven Spirit Blades' can bring some opportunities to the 'Youjia'. The 'Youjia' doesn't expect to be able to get the secret of the 'Seven Spirit Knife', as long as they fight and grab it in order to find the 'Seven Spirit Knife', it will be enough. Especially the 'Fang family', as long as there is a fight, there will be casualties, and when the time comes, no matter how strong and powerful you are, there will be times when your strength will be greatly damaged. Mrs. You said.
Li Jiqian knew in his heart that such a thing was not impossible, even if he couldn't let the strength of the 'Fang family' suffer a big loss, at least the secret of the 'Seven Spirit Knife', they would definitely not let it go. Then it can be regarded as diverting their attention, which is extremely beneficial to the 'ghost family'.
"Also, the 'Youjia' has been secretly searching for so many years, but still hasn't found any other 'Seven Spirit Knives', and there is still only one 'Burning Sky Knife' in their hands. Therefore, the 'Youjia' has no chance to find this secret alone, maybe after the world is announced like this, it will be possible to find it by letting the people in the entire martial arts go to the ordinary. Madame Yu sighed.
"Madam, what secrets are hidden in this 'Seven Spirit Knife'?" Li Jiqian asked with some curiosity, he knew the 'Seven Spirit Catalog' and what the 'Seven Spirit Knife' was, but after finding the 'Seven Spirit Knife', he didn't know what the secret hidden in the 'Seven Spirit Knife' was.
However, Mrs. You also shook her head and said, "I don't know, even the ancestors of the family don't know." Maybe you can only discover the secret of the 'Seven Spirit Blades' after finding them. (To be continued......)
