Chapter 126: Recent Developments in the Merdean Capital
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Xiao Lan lay on the table without any image at all, and asked Si Rufeng lazily and weakly: "Rufeng, why have you been here for so many days, but you haven't officially discussed the 'cooperation' with them?"
"Uncle Yang Kun said that he would have to wait for a few more days, saying that he had to consume their sharpness first, otherwise it would be difficult to make a request at that time. However, when the time comes, it will be Uncle Yang Kun who will negotiate with them on behalf of Tianjimen, and I will just go to the scene to testify, so I am not very clear about the specific process explained by the master of Tianjimen. After speaking, Si Rufeng took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"Don't you know anything about Yang Ying's birdman's plan? You're also the first day of Tianjimen, so you should know something, right?"
Si Rufeng shook his head gently, his face full of helplessness, but he still explained softly: "Among all the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Sect in the Yueming Empire, only Senior Uncle Yang Kun knows the specific plan, and the relationship between me and Senior Uncle Yang Kun is very stiff, and it is absolutely impossible for him to reveal the news to me. I only know that their purpose now is to provoke the Moonlight Empire and the Mercer Empire, and then add fuel to the fight between these two countries. As for me, it's just that I came here as a guest on the first day of the Tianji Gate and as the future son-in-law of the owner of the Tianji Gate, and with me here, the people of the Moonlight Empire will think that the Tianji Gate attaches great importance to this 'cooperation'. ”
"What, are you the future son-in-law of the master of the Tianji Gate?" Hongyun, who was sitting on the sidelines watching Si Rufeng and Xiao Lan chat, sensitively grasped the key point, although the point was obviously wrong
Si Rufeng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded honestly, "Forced." I remember mentioning it to you before, maybe you didn't pay much attention to it. That's just a delaying tactic for me, and I'll leave the Tianji Gate sooner or later. As for what the hell is going on. I won't tell you about it, because it's not something that can be explained in a few words. If you really want to know what's going on, you can ask the 'little thing' and it should know what's going on. Those boring and superfluous words are still more suitable for the "little things" who are idle and panicked. Moreover, he didn't really want to bring up the past.
Xiao Lan understood that Si Rufeng didn't want to mention the previous things again, so he directly ignored Hongyun. Then he said to Si Rufeng: "Let the Yueming Empire fight with the Moore Empire, what about the Yuanyang Empire? Wouldn't it be cheaper than the Yuanyang Empire?" Wouldn't it be cheaper to watch the tiger watching the battle then?
Si Rufeng glanced at Xiao Lan gratefully, shook his head and said, "The Tianji Gate Master has great ambitions, and it is absolutely impossible to let go of the Yuanyang Empire. I heard that the Yuanyang Empire is fighting internally, maybe there will be no need for outsiders to intervene at that time, and the Yuanyang Empire will fall apart on its own. ”
"Infighting in the Yuanyang Empire?" Xiao Lan frowned slightly, and then glanced at Xiao Wei, who was sitting at the doorway, happily teasing "little things" and "flames". When she first met Xiao Wei, wasn't Xiao Wei being hunted down by the people of the Yuanyang Empire? So is Xiao Wei a person from the Yuanyang Empire? If so, would the infighting in the Yuanyang Empire be related to Xiao Wei?
I thought about it. Xiao Lan then asked Si Rufeng, "Do you know what the Yuanyang Empire is fighting for?
"This can be said to be the throne and interests. I heard that the old emperor of the Yuanyang Empire was sick, and he originally wanted the eldest prince to succeed to the throne, but the three princes and the courtiers who stood on the side of the three princes were strongly opposed. In addition, I also heard that the eldest prince had already eliminated the little prince who was the favorite of the old emperor in order to reduce the opponents competing for that position. Of course, we don't know exactly how he was eliminated. And the mother's maiden family of the little prince is the yang family, the first alchemy family in the mainland that was once extremely beautiful but gradually declined, so the yang family behind the little prince has also been seriously implicated, already. It's almost gone.
It is normal for princes to compete with each other, and this is an extremely common thing in every country. However, the battle for the throne of the Yuanyang Empire has risen to the level of competition between the ministers of the Yuanyang Empire. After the Yang family, a family of alchemy, was destroyed, the aura of the Yuanyang Empire instantly became smaller than the other two empires, after all, when the Yuanyang Empire was established, the Yang family was indispensable. Now the forces behind the eldest prince and the third prince are not weak, and neither side is willing to compromise. Therefore, the master of the Tianji Gate temporarily let go of the Yuanyang Empire. If I'm not mistaken, he should have planned to wait for the internal struggle of the Yuanyang Empire to be almost there, and then go and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
Listening to Si Rufeng's words, Xiao Lan's eyes couldn't help but turn cold. "Yang Ying is really a good plan!Heh!" Back then, he used a stratagem to persecute Master Yang Zhong! And if it weren't for him, the people of the Heavenly Realm wouldn't have been able to destroy the Xiao family in an instant!
Sensing the murderous aura on Xiao Lan's body, Si Rufeng couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, after the murderous aura on Xiao Lan's body disappeared, Si Rufeng continued: "Xiao Lan, when you were wanted and hunted by Tianjimen before, I discovered an extremely strange thing. I don't think you guessed. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Lan's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, "What's the matter?" Is there anything else that is worth selling to her like the wind, who has always been as calm as water?
Si Rufeng looked outside the door, and after making sure that no outsiders were coming, he approached Xiao Lan a little closer, and said in a low voice: "For a while, I found that there were often two white-clothed people wearing masks entering and leaving the residence of the Tianji Gate Sect Master, and it seemed that the Tianji Gate Door Master was very afraid of those two white-clothed people. I suspect that those two white-clothed people are the ones who control the Tianji Gate behind the scenes. "For a lot of people, it's an absolute secret.
Brother, why do you have nothing to do to spy on the master of Yang Ying's sect? Nosy will get into trouble!" "Alas" Xiao Lan sighed weakly, "I already knew this. I wasn't going to let you know, but now that you've found out, I might put you in danger if I don't tell you. Actually, the two men in white you mentioned are the legendary people of the heavenly realm, and they came to hunt me down for some reason. The two of them are just other people's lackeys, not the ones who really control the Tianji Gate behind the scenes. I warn you, you must never peep at them again. Their cultivation is above the Spirit Emperor, and if you are discovered by them, you will die!"
Xiao Lan's words made Si Rufeng, who had always been calm, feel very shocked, "Hunting you down, aren't you from a remote small town, how could you provoke the people of the Heavenly Realm?"
Xiao Lan sighed softly again, "My surname is Xiao." You should have heard of the fact that the Xiao family, the head of the four major families in the imperial capital, was wiped out by the enemy overnight, right? Do you think that this may have nothing to do with the Tianji Gate?" "Back then, the Xiao family was the head of the four major families, how could there be fewer masters in the family? A fool should have thought that the people who could destroy the Xiao family in an instant were definitely a large group of masters, and they were even more powerful than the masters of the Xiao family. And on the Haze Continent. In addition to the Tianji Gate, how can there be so many masters who can act without leaking any rumors?
"Are you a descendant of the Xiao family? Are you Xiao Ming's child?" Almost all the people in the Melbor Empire know that the Xiao family, whose strength reached its peak, directly produced such a waste wood son Xiao Ming, and then in order to wipe away this shame, the Xiao family sent the waste wood son Xiao Ming to the westernmost small town of the Melbor Empire and left him to fend for himself. However, there are indeed very few people who still remember Xiao Ming.
Xiao Lan nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to know my dad too." "I met so many people who knew that they were from Mengjiang City, but no one would have thought that they would be the descendants of the Xiao family, and no one would have thought that they would be the children of Xiao Ming, who was a waste of firewood. But. Prime Minister Situ should know that he is the descendant of the Xiao family, otherwise he would not have protected himself like that before.
"Xiao Lan, the Merdi is in chaos. He knew before that Xiao Lan cared about the Situ family and the Lin family, but he thought that it was just because Situ Xue and they had helped her, so after meeting Xiao Lan, he didn't tell Xiao Lan about the recent events in the Merdi Capital, and he didn't want Xiao Lan to take risks. But now that he knew that Xiao Lan was the descendant of the Xiao family back then, he suddenly felt the need to tell her about the recent events in the Meltex Imperial Capital.
Xiao Lan sighed in her heart, and asked calmly, "What's wrong with the Merdi Capital?"
"The second son of the Situ family died outside. The Situ family threw themselves into Prince Moling's formation, and Prime Minister Situ agreed to marry Situ Xue to Prince Moling. Lin family. broke away from the original trajectory of the united front with the Situ family and stood on the side of the Eight Princes' ink marks. The third prince, Mo Shi, has always been very quiet. ”
"What about the old emperor of the Melmer Empire?" Xiao Lan's heart suddenly calmed down inexplicably.
"He didn't say anything, he didn't do anything. ”
"Xiao Lan, I'm sorry, I can't help Situ Xue and them."
"Shh
Xiao Lan was thinking about some questions and didn't speak. The room fell silent all at once.
"Boss, like the wind, the ninth princess is here again. "That's right, Xiao Wei sat at the door just to watch the wind.
Hearing Xiao Wei's reminder, Xiao Lan was full of evil smiles. And Si Rufeng is full of black lines.
After the small banquet that night, Princess Yuerong knew about Lan Xiaoxiao's existence, and even more knew that Lan Xiaoxiao lived in the courtyard where Si Rufeng lived, so in order to prevent Lan Xiaoxiao from "getting the moon first near the water" as she imagined, she would find an excuse to come to Si Rufeng's place every day, which made Si Rufeng very annoying.
After a while, Princess Yuerong approached, and Xiao Wei, who was sitting at the door, immediately stood up, and then bowed to her respectfully, "Your Royal Highness Princess, hello!" After Xiao Lan's training, Xiao Wei had begun to understand some politeness. Of course, Xiao Lan taught some politeness that could prevent him from getting into trouble.
"Hello. You are a friend of Si Gongzi, so you don't have to salute this palace in the future. Seeing Xiao Wei in a very shabby gray power suit, Princess Yuerong's eyes flashed with contempt, but that contempt was only a flash, and she hid it very well.
"Okay. Xiao Wei raised his head and saw Yue Rong with a gentle smile on her face, and suddenly felt that in fact, this Princess Yue Rong was not as bad as the boss said.
"Huh?" Princess Yuerong found the "little thing" lying on Xiao Wei's shoulder, and immediately she asked with joy on her face: "Is this purple little animal a little kitten? She had spotted the little purple ball of flesh before, but she had never had a chance to get close to it.
As soon as he heard Princess Yuerong's words, the "little thing" who had planned to watch the play immediately turned his eyes fierce. You're a cat! Your whole family is a cat! Touch it? Touch your big ghost!
Xiao Wei, who knew that it was going to be bad, frowned, and in order to prevent Princess Yuerong from really getting into trouble with the "little things" later, he reminded "kindly": "Your Royal Highness Princess, the wind is still waiting for you inside." "Worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't betray Rufeng, because no matter whether he reminded him or not, Rufeng still couldn't escape this rotten peach blossom catastrophe after all
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Wei mentioned Si Rufeng, Princess Yuerong's interest in the "little kitten" suddenly decreased, she smiled and nodded to Xiao Wei, and then walked inside.
Seeing that woman came in, Hongyun and Xiao Lan, who had already stood up, also bent down to salute her extremely respectfully, and then casually found an excuse and hurriedly left Si Rufeng's room.
Si Rufeng, who was left alone, glared fiercely at the three who were running away in embarrassment, and then forced out a smile and politely greeted Princess Yuerong.
"Xiaowei, you actually 'sold' like the wind. Haha, when that woman is gone, you'll be miserable. As soon as he escaped from that sinful place, Hongyun immediately teased Xiao Wei, who was still comforting the "little thing".
Xiao Wei's hand, which was stroking the long-haired "little thing" that stood up, couldn't help but pause, and then turned his head and glanced at Hongyun, and said: "If I don't say it, that Princess Yuerong won't go in? Moreover, if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, right? Fix me? My boss is here!"Hmph! It's all to blame on that girl! In an instant, Princess Yuerong's image in Xiao Wei's mind was broken again.
The "little thing" looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to it, he said angrily, "She actually said that I was a cat! Nima! There must be something wrong with her eyes!"
Xiao Lan glared at the "little thing" who suddenly opened her mouth to speak, and scolded, "Shut up for me! You really think that a few people over there are dead!" As she spoke, she motioned for them to look at the guards who were watching them at the gate of the courtyard. Those guards were the people sent by Prince Yueya to spy on Rufeng, how could they ignore them so quickly?
"Squeak!" they didn't show us just now
"Let's go, idiot! Go to my room. Her room was only separated by a wall from Si Rufeng's room, and she could overhear the conversation in the next room. (To be continued......)
