The clans are seated, and they should not see that the congruent clan is not present. Yu Zhe still asked Jing Shoucheng if he had sent the invitation out of politeness. Of course, the invitation had been sent to Congji, and Yu Zhe also knew that Jing Shoucheng would never make any mistakes in this matter. The Extreme Clan has always been elusive, maybe they have come to the Shengping Banquet, but no one knows what they look like. He carefully looked at each guest, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he slowly got up, and once again thanked the sect masters for gathering in Yuancheng to attend the Shengping banquet.

"The city lord doesn't have to be so polite, the four clans in the sea, led by your city, don't take the city lord seriously at all now, and I don't know if they are going to choose a successor for them this year. "The man who speaks is a little wider than everyone in the room, and he is a burly man, and if he does not deliberately restrain his tenacity when he speaks, he will be as intimidating as a storm. His appearance is not ugly, but his cheekbones are sunken, and there is a scaly fin on the back of his waist, which does not seem to mean to hide, and it looks really scary. When the apprentices saw such a person for the first time, they felt uneasy in their hearts.

"Sister Zezhu, does it really matter if he is like this, why is he so different from us?"

"Be quiet, the sect master and relatives can listen to all directions, don't be listened to by them, and I won't choose you as the successor when the time comes. ”

"I'm sure I won't be chosen, but my sister is the most likely to be chosen, and I don't know how happy my sister is if she can take over Yuancheng. ”

"Xiaoyu, you have a clear nature, and the city lord will definitely want a simple person to protect the city. "What Zezhu said from his heart. She has been fostered in Yuancheng since she was a child, and Xiaoyu, who was born a few days younger than herself, is like a family, although she often misses her parents, but she has understood her mission and responsibility since she was a child, and she never dared to slack off, compared to Yusheng Han's carefree She both envied and knew that this life was not related to this kind of life.

"Clear by nature? Don't be naïve, if you can be the sect master by nature, then what do you want to do at the Ping Banquet? Just choose the stupidest person to be the sect master. "Zizhu has a proud personality, just like a young master of the clan.

Xiao Yu wanted to find some reason to refute, but was blocked by the scene in front of her.

"Oh my God, is this Master Night?" she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Master Ye shouldn't be able to come to the Shengping Banquet. "Luo Yan is a disciple of the Northern Underworld Sect, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays, just as quiet as Chen Bing there.

Xiao Yu didn't know when the woman standing in front of her entered the hall, neither anyone reported it, nor did she leave any traces of air currents, she was indeed very similar to the Night Mercy Pool, but if you look closely, the temples of the person who came were fragrant red, which was much more graceful and luxurious than the Night Mercy Pool. When he speaks, his voice is even more gentle and fragrant.

"Meet the lord of the city. Qingwu was a little late, and I don't know if it was welcome. The woman said.

"Of course, the Night Relatives are willing to come to the city, and I should welcome them. Yu Zhe stood up and bowed slightly in respect.

"It's a pity that my Ye family has been hidden for many years, and now the Shengping Banquet can even be honored by the Zesu family, but we haven't even received an invitation. ”

"Sister can't blame the city lord, it's the misfortune of the night family, and she shouldn't be angry with others. ”

"This is the lady of the city lord of Wensha City. Schelling said.

If you look closely, there is also a slight resemblance between her eyebrows and this woman who calls herself Qingwu, but Zhirong is completely different. Xiaoyu lowered her voice, which made her voice sound thicker and deeper.

"Sister Xiaoyu can hear this person's ambition with such a sentence, and the potential is really amazing. Zezhu said complimentally.

Qingwu took a few steps forward, and the most noble lady in Wensha City bowed her head slightly.

"I thought that you were the wife of the city lord, and you didn't even pay attention to the patriarch of the Ye family, or you didn't pay attention to everyone. ”

"What does my sister mean by that?"

"It's nothing, have you ever visited Sister Lianchi today. Do you remember our youngest sister? ”

"That...... Sister, sister hasn't forgotten?"

"Forget?" Ye Qingwu laughed, your husband wants to be good to you, oh, by the way, if you want to forget me, I probably forgot the love Jieyu fan in my life, how could he not spoil you, but unfortunately that big fish is really not a gentleman, but it's a pity for my sister. ”

"You ......" Ye Yilan raised her right hand, her eyes revealing a fierce light.

"My sister still can't restrain her temper so much, I'm afraid your seven-star tube won't be able to stand you as a master sooner or later. ”

Ye Qingwu didn't seem to have come to participate in the Shengping banquet at all, but to find someone to quarrel, and Yu Zhe was not easy to stop, after all, this was a matter between the sisters of the Ye family.

"City Lord, I didn't come here to see these people pretending to be here, what the Ye clan knows, I think everyone here will not be unclear, the City Lord of Yuzhe should have made plans early, today I am afraid that not only to choose a good successor, but also to elect a messenger to go up. ”

"Go up?" the disciples were all stunned when they heard this.

"Sister, I heard it right, what did she say?"

"Yes, I heard you right. Zezhu frowned, not knowing what this fairy-like woman meant by these words.

"Could it be that the Night Patriarch is referring to the Red Rain?" asked the Northern Underworld City Lord.

"Yes, but not just Red Rain?"

"You mean that the drying up of the river has something to do with the red rain?" asked the Zexumen patriarch.

"Yes, and that's not all. ”

"There is indeed a sound of a ghost on the border of the quicksand. Ye Yilan looked at her sister with a solemn expression.

"Does my sister think these three things are a coincidence?" Ye Qingwu asked.

"It's not going to be a coincidence. ”

"The quicksand border has always been well-informed, I'm afraid I can't hide anything from you, I should have a plan for a long time. ”

Yu Zhe saw that everyone was panicked, and Ye Qingwu came to talk about the current matter this time, and he would definitely not let him stay out of it. The city lord said, "The Night Patriarch is right, since you have discovered the anomaly, I think it cannot be ruled out that the Great Era is advanced, of course, the thirty-six years that the ancestors said are just speculation, not constant, and the so-called vision is always impermanent. To tell you the truth, Yuancheng has received the blood sacrifice for many days, and since everyone is here today, according to what the Night Patriarch said, it is not against the original intention of the ancestors to establish the Shengping Banquet by selecting envoys to support the Shengping Banquet. I wonder if the patriarchs have any objections?"

"This is a very good idea, and the successor and the messenger are chosen today, and I hope that this land affair will not cause us any trouble. The Lord of Wensha said.

Zezaomon had no objections. ”

"If it's all right, let's start as soon as possible. Yu Zhe was about to announce the start of the selection ceremony for the Shengping Banquet when Ye Qingwu interrupted him.

"Wait a minute, why bother to choose two so troublesome, the city lord of Yuancheng has a great responsibility, and the leader of the sea must also be familiar with the land route, the water and land are different, if the successor can be qualified for the task of the envoy, it also means that this person has real talent and learning, and can take on heavy responsibilities. ”

Yu Zhe was a little worried, and the night was deep and hidden, and although the words were gentle but deep in the dark sound. He restrained Hongyu for several days in a row, and he only had half of his strength left, and although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't want to conflict with her.

"The patriarch is also thoughtful in this way, if you all agree, please move to the Pure Moon Pool. ”

On the occasion of spring ploughing, it should have been full of vitality, but except for Xiao Ling, who occasionally made Xiao Jin smile, the rest of the time the prince was always depressed, as if the suffering of the whole world was on his shoulders.

Ye Xiaolou half-raised his right hand, and he didn't leave Bai Zi behind for a long time, although he knew the temper of the third prince, he still felt that he had gone a little too far in this matter. Even a person like Ye Xiaolou, who ignored the level of the outline, felt that what the third prince did a few days ago was not just willful, no matter how he looked at it, it was a bit of a transgression.

"Your Majesty, what would happen if you knew that you did this?" Ye Xiaolou sighed and slowly dropped the white son.

"I'm not going to let him know, no one should know about leaving this temple door. ”

"There is no prince in the court, and you are not overstepping the rank by doing this. ”

"I can't manage that much, do you want me to watch the people displaced, and the young children have no one to rely on?"

"I don't care about what you say, I told you the way of blood sacrifice because if there is no help from the city, no one on the land can stop the great changes on the land and water, not to mention the Qi country, the entire land may be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

"In that case, I should do the same. The third prince's face was calm, and he didn't see the slightest hesitation. It is not easy to be born in the emperor's family to have such a pure heart, but it is a pity that the three princes are weak and sickly, and even if the emperor prefers them, they are unable to take on the responsibility of governing the country and strengthening the people.

"It's been half a month since the imperial brother went to Suishan, I don't know what happened to the disaster there now?" Although they were playing chess, the mood of the two sides was completely different, one was worried, and the other only felt more and more bored. Boredom makes him miserable.

"The epidemic in the Suishan area has been going on for several months, and the eldest prince can only raise my interest if he doesn't have anything to do there. ”

"Mr. Ye doesn't take state affairs too seriously. The prince who was guarding Wei Bing couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but say.

"I'm telling the truth, although the emperor restricts me from leaving the Qi country for half a step, the third prince has never supervised my whereabouts well, and as for what I usually say and do, I never interfere, for the sake of this kindness, even if it is boring, I admit it. Since I promised that as long as he lives, I will do my best to help him, and I will do what I say. Don't talk about these big and small things, although I remember the grace of dripping water, I also happen to be the one who will repay it. ”

Ye Xiaolou didn't even look at Wei Bing when he spoke. Wei Bing only felt angry, and then said, "It's not that I have an opinion on Mr. Ye, the third prince is so weak, but what he does can't truthfully show the emperor, doesn't this let the eldest prince take advantage of it in vain?"

"It can be said, of course it can be said. Taishi has been hiding in this spring ploughing season for several days, I am afraid that it is ominous, if the emperor believes it, he will be more cautious, especially after Sima Taishi reported the matter, he suddenly fell ill, and the medical officer died before he arrived. Although it seems to me that this obscure thing is nonsense, at most it is a symptom. But I can't guess whether the emperor will take it to heart. ”

"Bold, dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. Wei Bing clenched his sword tightly and said in a strong tone, as if defending the emperor meant defending the three princes.

"What could be better to kill boredom than to speculate on people's hearts? If you have a better idea, you may want to speak it and listen to it, and if you say it well, maybe I will thank you with some gold." "The mirror to the building is rich and rivals the country, and it is said that the treasures hidden in the building can be compared to all the treasures in the palace by taking out one of them. If Wei Bing could come up with some interesting ideas, Ye Xiaolou would give him more gold than he could see in his lifetime.

"Therefore, we must not let my father know about my previous blood sacrifice. Sima Taishi is said to have left a line of blood before his death, and his father was very angry after reading it, and ordered someone to burn Sima's mansion to ashes before dawn. The third prince lowered his voice, but he still couldn't hide the chill in his tone.

"Why did that line of blood make the third prince so nervous?" Wei Bing asked puzzled.

"The Big Dipper. ”

"Nine stars?" Wei Bing looked at the third prince with a puzzled expression.

"Beidou should only be able to see seven stars. The third prince explained calmly.

Then why did Sima Taishi write such a line of blood characters, and why did he not write this sentence until he died. Wei Bingyuan opened his eyes and asked again.

"Because these two extra stars can have many explanations. Xiaolou, don't let Wei Guard worry, tell him. The third prince coughed a few times, and took the opportunity to push the explanation to Ye Xiaolou.

"There can be countless explanations among the people, but in the emperor's family, there are only two explanations, the infestation of different races or the rivalry of princes. Ye Xiaolou didn't know when he had started to eat tea. The third prince glared at him, and he didn't seem to see it at all.

"What does this have to do with the blood sacrifice of the three princes?" Wei Bing didn't pretend to be confused, he really didn't understand. A patient person like the Third Prince didn't want to explain more, he thought that maybe everyone didn't understand anything like Wei Bing, and he wouldn't have suffered the bad luck of having his family ruined because of some star things.

"The credit will be left to the royal brother, my father can't see the princes competing for power and profit with each other, and he himself can't help himself when he is the prince...... I don't want to recur the scenes of the past. The third prince also picked up his cup and began to eat tea.

"But I'm not convinced. Wei Bing wanted to continue, but was stopped by the third prince.

"The news of the mirror to the building should not be much faster than that of the eldest prince, the news has arrived yesterday, the third prince should have prepared early, and they will arrive in the next two days. Ye Xiaolou regained his usual indifference, he sometimes became extremely indifferent when talking about important things, and every time Xiao Jin felt as if he was a stranger in front of him. But he knew that no matter what Ye Xiaolou did, it was for his good, no matter what he did, Ye Xiaolou would protect him safely, and this person who was far away and close was his most trusted friend.
