Chapter Seventy-Eight: Look at the Tea
A month after Ling Xiyue's True Qi Treatise, their peaceful life was shattered.
Now that the cities of Dongzhou have either become independent or have been annexed, although they have nominally not rebelled against the rule of the Nine Underworlds, none of them have listened to the call of the Nine Underworlds anymore.
In the area east of Hengyang City, it is a relatively rich plain, and the sixteen cities on the plain are controlled by the Leng family, Tiannan City is one of them, after independence, the Leng family has laid down twelve more cities with lightning speed, and stopped at the edge of Hengyang City's sphere of influence.
And now, there is a war report from the border, and the Leng family has mobilized 130,000 troops from within the sphere of influence to hoard on the border of the two forces, nominally to suppress bandits, and the real purpose is unknown.
Ling Wenjin quickly sent spies to find out the news, but he didn't expect that the spies were not killed after being discovered, but treated each other politely, and sent them back after a meal.
Ling Wenjin was about to send an envoy to negotiate, but he didn't expect that the Leng family had already sent a letter to the envoy sent back in advance:
[We don't want to raise up sword soldiers, and in three days someone will come to the door to make amends.] 】
"Yun Xu, you and Leng Lanying have some inseparable relationship with the Leng family, what do you think of this matter?" Ling Wenjin handed the letter to Yun Xu.
It's about the Leng family, Yun Xu's attitude has always been ambiguous, it's good that the two forces didn't interact and collide before, but now that the other party has begun to gather troops, it's not good for Yun Xudu not to express his position.
"There are no innocent people among the bandits, but the people who forcibly create the bandits are even more hateful than the bandits themselves, and I don't have a good impression of the Leng family's superiors. Yun Void responded.
"What about the low-level disciples of the Leng family?" Ling Xiyue asked.
Yun Xuan glanced at her and said, "Three days later, the people of the Leng family will come over, since they want to salute first and then soldiers, we can not raise sword soldiers, we will not raise sword soldiers." ”
Jiang Ming drank tea calmly, as if he hadn't heard anything, and looked like he didn't care about himself.
"Anyway, the matters involving the Void Realm are all handed over to you to deal with, you can do it yourself!" Ling Wenjin left after speaking.
The main reason is that Yun Void's strength is too strong, and if he wants to make any decisions, no one can stop him except Jiang Ming, but whether Jiang Ming will stop him or not is two words, so he doesn't need to be bored with himself, in case he says something that really has an impact on Yun Void, it will lead to the centrifugation of Cloud Void.
Yun Xuan said: "Ling Xiyue, your father doesn't care about anything, as the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion, then the matter of receiving the Leng family's envoy will be handed over to you." ”
"Me?" Ling Xiyue pointed at herself blankly.
"You are the future young master of Hengyang City, who will come if you don't come?"
Ling Xiyue cast her eyes for help to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming asked: "Yun Xu, you should know more about the Leng family, and the Leng family's previous performance also shows that they know enough about us, who do you think they will send over?"
Leng Lanying interjected: "It must be my sister." ”
The clouds were silent.
"Has your engagement been dissolved?" Ling Xiyue asked.
Silence continues.
Ling Xiyue and Jiang Ming glanced at each other, this matter was too difficult to deal with.
Yun Xuwan rarely mentions the past, but has been evading, he has a basis for advancing and retreating in martial arts, but he is very entangled in the face of emotional problems.
"In other words, you haven't divorced the marriage, but have been hanging like this?" Ling Xiyue confirmed again.
Yun Xuan tilted his head to the outside and said softly: "The divorce has a great impact on the woman's reputation. ”
"Could it be that if she keeps the marriage contract, her reputation will not be affected?" Ling Xiyue sneered.
Yun Exhaust's attention seemed to have been completely attracted by the scenery of the outside world, and he did not answer Ling Xiyue's question.
Leng Lanying looked at the appearance of the clouds, and did not speak, the scene had completely cooled down.
Ling Xiyue covered her forehead painfully, she really didn't know what to say, while maintaining an engaged state with her sister, she hooked up with someone else's sister, but she didn't know how to solve it.
Three days later, the "messenger" of the Leng family came to visit, a woman in Tsing Yi about twenty years old, her appearance was five or six points similar to Leng Lanying, her temperament was gentle and elegant but bright and moving, and the road from the city gate to the city lord's mansion attracted countless men to watch and follow, if it were not for the escort of the city guards, I don't know how many incidents would have happened.
The other was a middle-aged man in his thirties, but the two whites of his sideburns betrayed his real age, and he walked half a step in front of the woman, making the surrounding crowd his background.
The two of them walked into the city lord's mansion generously, leaving only the crowd outside the mansion to discuss, not knowing if they were thinking about some gods.
"I am Leng Baisong, the head of the Leng family, why not the city lord of Hengyang City to entertain you. The two did not sit down immediately, but took the lead in questioning.
This is the etiquette of hospitality, only two people from the other party come to visit, one of them is still the head of the Leng family, no matter what, the city lord Ling Wenjin must come out to greet him in order not to be rude, no matter what the reason, Hengyang City is indeed a loss at this point.
Ling Xiyue said indifferently: "My father is sick in bed, it is inconvenient to see guests, all the affairs of Hengyang City are controlled by me, if you are not satisfied, just leave." ”
Leng Baisong laughed angrily: "Can you represent the City Lord's Mansion? Do you really think that the identity of an eldest lady can make such a big force as Hengyang City and the surrounding nineteen cities listen to you? ”
He is relying on the advantage of etiquette to take the lead, after all, my city lord's mansion is rude...... Ling Xiyue secretly thought, however, this world is a world where strength is respected after all, as long as there is strength, no matter how rude it is, it can't be regarded as rude!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiyue picked up a cup of tea and threw it straight to Leng Baisong: "Look at the tea!"
Leng Baisong looked at Ling Xiyue's actions, and the new students were angry: I just said this to take the lead in the first place, you junior is so ignorant, this way of watching tea is a means for the elders to test the juniors, if you are so humiliated, then don't blame me for being polite.
Thinking like this, Leng Baisong was about to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to prepare to teach the girl in front of him a lesson, but when a thought rose, he found that the power of heaven and earth around him no longer obeyed his command.
"It's not good, it's a trap!"
Leng Baisong's first reaction was that they laid a means to block the power of heaven and earth, and then laid a trap, and they didn't have time to think about what the trap was and what their purpose was, Leng Baisong could only mobilize the true yuan and Gang energy in his body with all his strength to resist the dark energy carried by this cup.
The grip of Leng Baisong's full force just held the cup, and then a strong force came, which seemed to be the effect of the power of heaven and earth, causing his whole person to fly out.
"Impossible, how can there be a unilateral blockade of heaven and earth, but the other party can use it!" Leng Baisong only felt that his chest was like a knife cut, disrupting his internal breath.
"Poof!"
Leng Baisong spat out a mouthful of blood, and then found that his whole body had fallen on the street, he habitually wanted to support himself to get up, but found that his right hand was already blurred and unconscious.
The crowd of good things gathered near the City Lord's Mansion whispered and pointed, not knowing what was going on.
When he noticed the wound, a sharp pain came too late, making Leng Baisong have an unbearable painful look on his face, Leng Lanqiu immediately came to his father's side, checked his father's injury, and took emergency measures to prevent it from getting worse.
"Leng Baisong, the head of the Leng family, is a powerhouse in the realm of the void, how can he not even catch a cup of tea from me! Say, what kind of people are you, you dare to pretend to be the head of the Leng family, do you want to provoke the relationship between us and the Leng family!" Ling Xiyue strode from the city lord's mansion and reprimanded sternly.
When Leng Baisong heard this, he didn't come back in a breath, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, Leng Lanqiu's eyes implied killing intent, and Zhenyuan gathered in his hand, ready to do it at any time.
"Xiyue, don't make trouble, quickly apologize to the head of the Leng family. Jiang Ming came out at the right time to play a round and stopped Ling Xiyue.
It seems that they just want to give us a dismount, otherwise no one will come out to play the round. Leng Baisong judged in his heart, but then Jiang Ming's words almost made him spit out another mouthful of old blood.
"Xiyue, people who cultivate the Nine Spiritual Techniques will become weak when they reach the Void Realm, and they are not the enemies of the same level Void Realm at all, you have just used three successful powers, how can the Leng family master be able to resist a Void Realm that cultivates the Nine Spiritual Techniques!"
