Time passed, spring had not yet arrived, but it rained again in Changling.

Winter rains are no better than spring rains and are often annoying.

What's more, for the vast majority of cultivators, rain and water mean femininity, and there are only a very few cultivators in Changling, such as Ye Celeng, whose natal breath is in line with this water meaning.

Rain can act as a barrier to the practitioner's perception and can mask a lot of breath.

Therefore, in the world of cultivators, many major events often occur with the arrival of heavy rain.

Huang Zhenwei stood under the rain eaves on the top floor of a corner tower, silently watching a yellow-robed cultivator enter the palace.

This is a man from Jiaodong County.

Since Yuan Wu ascended the throne and Zheng Sleeve officially became the hostess of the entire Great Qin Dynasty, the color of this yellow robe, which resembles dry earth, has become a unique symbol of the envoys of Jiaodong County.

Perhaps for some privileges, or to show off their unique status, these envoys of Jiaodong County never concealed their identities, and they must wear such yellow robes when they enter Changling.

In the eyes of many old people in Changling, this is even a naked humiliation of the old magnates of Changling by Jiaodong County.

The earliest strategic significance of Jiaodong County to the entire Great Qin Dynasty was only a port that could provide abundant seafood to supplement the army's meat, even with the trade of fishing boats and some overseas scarce elixirs, Jiaodong County accumulated huge wealth, in the eyes of the former Changling magnates, the people of Jiaodong County were only hillbillies and fishermen, and there were two traders who handled it.

It's just that today, the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and even the whole world, have realized the strength and terrifying of Jiaodong County.

The terrible thing is that most of the huge wealth of Jiaodong County seems to be used to arrange the eyes and ears.

Jiaodong County has a variety of sources of horror.

There are many hidden things that can be hidden from the Shendu Prison and the Prison Temple, but they can't be hidden from Jiaodong County.

In addition, the cultivators who died for Zheng Sleeve and Jiaodong County often came from outside Jiaodong County.

Especially in Zheng Sleeve's "family", the Zheng family gate valve that cultivated a cultivator like Zheng Sleeve, what kind of cultivator exists inside, the outside world is almost ignorant.

It is precisely because of its remote location that it is only a rural place in the eyes of Changling people, so since the Zheng family was in charge of Jiaodong County, there has never been a war in Jiaodong County.

Even Zhao Gao, the yellow-robed cultivator who had followed Zheng Sleeve to Changling and witnessed how Zheng Sleeve had become the mistress of the Great Qin Dynasty from a country girl, didn't know what kind of people and how many people were in the Zheng Clan's Sect Lord's Sect.

Even when he besieged and killed Wang Jingmeng and suppressed the Bashan Sword Field, Zheng Sleeve mobilized countless forces in Jiaodong County, but none of the cultivators from the Zheng Sect Valve Sect officially appeared and made a move.

So over the years, the home of Zheng's gate valve in Jiaodong County is still mysterious.

Those walking outside are all some peripheral children of the Zheng family, and there are even very few collateral blood relatives surnamed Zheng.

However, the yellow-robed cultivator who walked to the palace today gave Huang Zhenwei a completely different feeling.

First of all, this yellow-robed cultivator was older.

This yellow-robed cultivator was at least fifty or sixty years old, a whole generation more than the previous yellow-robed envoys from Jiaodong County.

Secondly, he couldn't see how strong this yellow-robed cultivator's cultivation was.

The aura on this yellow-robed cultivator was perfectly hidden in the rain, even if it was impossible to reach the Eight Realms, Huang Zhenwei had a very strong intuition, an intuition that he was afraid that he would be killed if he was against this yellow-robed cultivator.

For a cultivator of Huang Zhenwei's level, strong intuition means necessity.

Therefore, this yellow-robed cultivator must be the real "family" of the Zheng family.

......

The yellow-robed man with slightly frosted temples and a medium stature who looked to be in his fifties entered the imperial city, then reported according to the rules, and then went straight to the queen's study.

Empress Zheng Sleeve was waiting for his arrival at the door of the study.

"Uncle. ”

When the yellow-robed man appeared in front of her, she bowed her head first, greeted her, and then said expressionlessly, "You shouldn't come." ”

This man's appearance was very ordinary, and he didn't have any momentum of a big man, but when he heard Zheng Sleeve's words, he smiled slightly.

His slight smile was charming.

When you are young, it is easy to charm some young girls with such a smile alone.

However, at this time, showing such a smile in the face of Zheng Sleeve made him inexplicably full of a majestic and powerful momentum.

He smiled and asked, "Why shouldn't I come?"

"When you come, you will reveal the foundation of Jiaodong County. Zheng Sleeve looked at him and said coldly: "It's to show weakness to others."

"Show weakness and lack of skills?" The yellow-robed man's smile became even stronger, and he even looked at Zheng Sleeve with some sympathy, looking at her with the eyes of real elders looking at juniors, "If it weren't for the fact that the family was too disappointed in you, thinking that you might be unable to clean up, why would I come?"

Zheng Sleeve glanced at him indifferently, "Disappointed?"

The yellow-robed man looked at her with a flat and sigh: "In recent years, you have not paid much attention to the opinions of your family, and you have even been threatening your family. But the family has become more and more dependent on you, not because they are afraid of your threat, but because Jiaodong County's position is becoming more and more unstable for the future of the Great Qin Dynasty... After the change, the grain and grass of the Great Qin Dynasty, and even meat were not so scarce, and the status of Jiaodong County, which was originally the most indispensable meat supply place of the Great Qin Dynasty, was disappearing, and the army was becoming less and less dependent on us. So in a sense, our roots are disappearing, and you are the future of our Jiaodong County. ”

Speaking of this, the yellow-robed man smiled again, but with heartfelt emotion and sincerity in his smile, "The family let you come before, not because of fear of any external causes, but because you are perfect. In all fairness, you are the most perfect genius in my Jiaodong County for hundreds of years. Everything you did before was perfect, but these two years are different, you have caused more and more accidents, and too many people have died around you. But this is still not what the family is really worried about, what the family is really worried about is your spring harvest this time... If you bet too much, it's easy to gamble the entire Jiaodong County into it. ”

Zheng Sleeve's face was still emotionless, and her fair skin was shining with a beautiful porcelain light: "So the family has no confidence in me?"

The yellow-robed man still didn't answer her question directly, but shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of faith, but the family feels that you should understand that you and the family are always one." You should understand that it should be you and your family who are moving towards the future of the Great Qin Dynasty, not you going to the future, and your family becoming your pawn. ”

Zheng Sleeve glanced at him, and before he could speak, the yellow-robed man stopped looking at her, turned around, looked at the sky above the streets and alleys of Changling in the distance, and said softly: "I remember that Li Hou's son is called Li Xixing, and he was drowned by a dog when he was a child... Don't forget that you were also drowned by a dog as a child. ”

Zheng Sleeve raised his head slightly, and his perfect brow frowned.

Suddenly, she had a rare laugh, and she laughed very coldly.

"Since I was a child, anything I really loved would be stripped of by my home, my favorite dog would be killed, my playmate who was studying and practicing with would be arranged to be an assassin who trained me to attack and kill, and died at my hands... Everything that might distract me from my practice and cause me to be concerned would be removed from my family. ”

She said slowly: "There is no distraction, there is nothing that can affect me, there is no weakness, so even Wang Jingmeng will die in my hands." The family asked you to come and talk to me about these words, including yourself, have you really thought it through?"

"Before you killed him, you may not have had a weakness, but now it is different, your position and your ambition are your greatest weaknesses. Unless you are willing to live under Yuan Wu. ”

The yellow-robed man looked at her with emotion and shook his head, "It's a pity that I know you too well, so unless you let the family regain confidence in you, I will act on behalf of the family in the next period of time." ”

Zheng Sleeve was silent for a moment, then she looked at the back of the yellow-robed man and asked, "In that case, you should at least tell me what you are going to do next." ”

"Kill. ”

The yellow-robed man replied unusually simply, smiling and revealing his white teeth.

"Shen Xuan, Pan Ruoye. ”

He turned his head slightly, glanced at Zheng Sleeve, and continued: "There is another person I am going to do, and I haven't thought about it yet." ”
