Chapter 176: Cold City
The cold city is the base camp of the cold palace, it stands to reason that the name of the city is so, then this place must be a cold place, but the cold city is just the opposite, because the place where the cold city is located is a spring scenery in all seasons, and the temperature is mild all year round, neither cold nor hot, it is an excellent place to live.
And Leng Cheng has actually opened the city gate in the past few days, and the city gate that is usually only opened has been opened in the past few days, and a team of city guards armed to the teeth have appeared in the middle of the Sifang City Gate, and the ten commanders of the Leng family who have not been seen for a long time have actually appeared in the Sifang City Gate, looking at the famous saying, it seems that Leng Cheng is going to hold some kind of meeting, otherwise it is impossible for this phenomenon to appear.
Some big traders also smelled the huge business opportunities, and they also brought the items they had collected, and hired some good people to come to the cold city overnight, wanting to do some business, and there are not many opportunities for the cold city to open the city gates!
In the cold city, a huge castle spreads out as the center point, and the styles of the four great families in the blue world are not much different, and the people living in the base camp are basically core children or people in high positions who are qualified to live in the cold city, and the closer the residence is to the castle, it means that the higher the status of this person in the cold palace.
In the back garden of the Leng family castle, a slender figure sat quietly in a chic pavilion, this woman was the recognized number one beauty among the four great families who returned from the Holy Realm, Leng Yue, but Leng Yue seemed to be a lot haggard at the moment, and a Qianqian jade hand took off her chin and stared at the lotus flowers on the pond outside the pavilion, with a longing expression.
A figure slowly walked towards the pavilion, alarming the two maids waiting outside the pavilion, the person who came didn't seem to want to alarm the beauty in the pavilion, so he directly waved his hand to stop the two maids from what they wanted to say, and directly signaled the two maids to retreat first, and the two maids saw the chief elder of their own family signal, the two maids were also very famous, nodded quickly, and then bowed silently to Leng Ying, and quickly retreated.
Seeing the actions of the two maids, Leng Ying nodded slightly, and then walked directly into the pavilion.
"Doh!" Leng Yue, who was thinking about it, felt that there was someone behind her, and thought that it was her maid who was waiting for her, so she said directly: "Xiaohuan, I'm not hungry yet, you step back first." ”
After a while, Leng Yue felt that the person behind her had not left, so she showed a little displeasure on the face of the country and the people, and turned her head and wanted to dismantle it, but when she turned her head and saw the face of the person behind her, the whole person panicked, quickly stood up, and forced a smile on her face and said, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"Silly girl, these days you always don't think about tea, don't want to eat, how can Grandma rest assured?" Leng Ying said with a pampering expression, for her apprentice, she has always treated her as her own daughter.
"Come, sit down, and chat with Grandma while she has time now. Leng Ying took Leng Yue's hand and sat down.
"Yes, Grandma. ”
"Grandma, it's not that our Leng family is going to hold that kind of qualifying tournament, how can you have time to come and see Yue'er?" After sitting down, Leng Yue said with a puzzled expression, although her mind was not at home recently, but Leng Cheng's recent actions, she also heard a lot from the maid's mouth, it stands to reason that her master is the chief elder of the Leng family, and he should be busy with reception and arrangements now, how can he be so free?
Leng Ying said with a helpless smile on her face: "Silly girl, I see that your mind is all on that dragon boy, do you really think that Grandma is going to receive everyone? Could it be that those little guys are here, do they also need Grandma to receive them? Then shouldn't our Leng family have more chief elders come out?"
Leng Yue was said by his own master, and a flush quickly climbed on the face of the country and the city, thinking about it, the chief elder of the Leng family, a person of Shinto cultivation, if people of ordinary power come to receive it with their own master, this is too embarrassing to lose the face of the chief elder of the family, there is an unwritten rule in the family, that is, the identity is equal, unless it is the chief elder of the four major families who comes or the head of the family comes, then he is qualified to let the chief elder of the Leng family come out to receive him, which is a symbol of the strength of the family.
"Grandma, look at what you said. Leng Yue said coquettishly.
"Hehe!" Leng Ying smiled, and then her expression immediately dimmed, looking like she wanted to stop talking.
When Leng Yue saw her master's appearance of wanting to stop talking, her heart moved slightly, and she squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "Grandma, is there something wrong?"
"En!" Leng Ying nodded, and then looked at the sky outside the pavilion, her move made Leng Yue, who was sitting opposite, panicked in her heart, because it was the second time she had seen her master look like this, the first time was when her father was the main marriage with the Yang family, and her master was also in this way, could it be that this time her father wanted to marry that family again?
After Leng Yue figured it out, she said with a calm expression: "Grandma, does my father want to marry that family again this time?"
"En!" Leng Ying nodded, and said with a helpless expression: "Yue'er, this time it was not your father's decision, but the decision of the ancestors, and Grandma also fought for it, but it's a pity that ......"
"Grandma, don't say it, Yue'er knows that Grandma will definitely help Yue'er, but since the ancestor has decided, no one has a way to change it. Leng Yue is surprisingly calm, it's not that she doesn't want to resist, but if her ancestor decides something, I'm afraid no one can change his old man's mind, let alone his own master, even if it's his own father, I'm afraid he can only be obedient in front of his ancestor.
Leng Ying saw her apprentice's calm attitude, and her heart was also full of helplessness, no way, outsiders still thought that she was the chief elder of the cold palace how noble and high, but in the eyes of ordinary people, if Leng Yue's marriage was decided by her own family master, she could still fight, even if she couldn't win the family master to change his mind, at least she could use the power in her hand to drag it out for a year and a half, but her ancestor spoke, that is something that no one can change, on cultivation? The old ancestor can slap himself to death with one palm, in terms of seniority? What are you kidding, people are currently the highest ranking people in the Leng family, to put it mildly, even if you are the current head of the Leng family, if you want to abolish the head of the family, people only need one sentence to do it, what ability do you have to resist?
"Yue'er, don't worry, I'll go to the old ancestor to fight for it. Leng Ying didn't want to see her apprentice's calm expression, because she knew her apprentice's temper too well, the calmer it was, the more resistant her apprentice was in his heart, so she opened her mouth to comfort her, as for the ending of going to the ancestor to fight for it, she already knew it in her heart.
"Grandma. Leng Yue shook her head and said, "I know that Grandma is good to Yue'er, but doesn't Grandma know about the matter that the ancestor decided?
"The old ancestor meant that let the young talented disciples of the Zhang, Yang, and Du families compete, and if the children of that family won, they would marry that family. Leng Ying finally said something that was good news.
"Competition?" Leng Yue heard her master's words, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked at her master with a puzzled expression on her face, as if she wanted to see something from her master's face.
Leng Ying saw her apprentice's puzzled expression, and said with a slight smile on her face: "Silly girl, don't look at Grandma, Grandma doesn't know what the ancestor is thinking, but the ancestor did decide like this." ”
"Grandma, are there any people participating in this competition?" Leng Yue asked again as if she had a feeling.
Leng Ying was slightly stunned by his apprentice's question, and immediately responded: "This old ancestor has nothing, it seems that the old ancestor said that as long as it is a descendant of the three major families or a person in a high position, it can participate, and the old ancestor only said that the age cannot exceed 100 years old." ”
"Oh!" Leng Yue's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard her master's words, and a little happy expression appeared on her face, and the next moment she immediately fell silent again.
Leng Ying saw the change in his apprentice's expression before and after, her heart moved slightly, and she said with a surprised expression on her face: "Yue'er, when you say this, Grandma has thought of a way." ”
When Leng Yue heard her master's words, she raised her head and looked at her master with a puzzled expression on her face, as if she was waiting for something.
"Silly girl, I'm afraid you still don't know, that dragon boy is now the chief elder of the Du family, if I guess correctly, he will definitely come to the cold palace in this qualifying tournament, and I can talk to him then, maybe this matter has taken a turn for the better. Leng Ying said with a smile on her face, because she believed that if Long Wuming was willing to nod and help, then the descendants of the three families or high-level personnel, it could be said that no one was his opponent, after all, it would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find an eighth-level Martial Emperor at the age of 100.
When Leng Yue heard what his master said, he was first surprised, then rejoiced, and finally as if he had thought of something, his expression immediately dimmed, and he said quietly: "Master, it's useless, if he was willing at the beginning, he wouldn't have chosen to come to the Blue Realm from the place of nine deaths in the earth forest swamp at all." ”
Leng Ying, who originally thought that he could relieve his apprentice's predicament, heard his apprentice's analysis, and his expression of joy quickly froze, yes! If Long Wuming was willing at that time, the family master could marry his apprentice to others, and he could also take special care of Long Wuming to come to the Blue Realm, so why choose the passage of nine deaths and one life?
"Elder. A figure quickly flashed to the pavilion, and said with one hand across his chest: "Report to the elder, the head of the family has an order, order the elder to go to the main hall quickly, and the Du family is about to arrive." ”
"Du family?" Leng Ying's expression moved slightly, and the next moment he waved his hand and said, "You go back and tell the family master, Leng Ying will come soon." ”
"Yes, Elder. ”
"Girl, don't think too much, Grandma will go to greet you first, and by the way, talk to that kid well, don't worry, Grandma will definitely help you fight for this matter." Leng Ying left a word, and the figure blended directly into the air.
