"Why does Prince Changying favor Jinwutang so much? Just look at the people who come to Jinwutang to watch the ceremony. Don't you understand?"
"Why?"
"Winning over Jinwutang means winning over Tianji Sect, Demon Killing Valley, Iron Dragon Sect, and the Guangnan Palace. Prince Changying's marriage to Jinwutang means marrying candle oil and full-effect potion, which can increase wealth. The outside can control people, treat the Qianji Zhenjun family favorably, and show favor to the tens of thousands of Chinese knights in the western theater and the air cavalry soldiers all over the world, to stabilize the people of the world. The prince does this, and in the court of Xuanyuan Hill In the opinion of the important ministers and veterans, this is what Ming Jun did. In this way, who else can shake the crown prince's position? I think it won't be long before someone in Xuanyuan Hill persuades the crown prince to resign from the position of supervising the country and officially ascend the throne. After Meng Shidao and Tun Dang, Qianji Zhenjun was the first person who truly helped His Highness ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor..."
Just as Princess Shangping's flying boat slowly landed in Xuantian City, at the scene where the wedding ceremony was being prepared, among the people who came to watch the ceremony, an elder from the Xuanwu Palace was whispering to King Jingtian's brother next to him using sound transmission technology. .
At this time, among the guests and crowd watching the ceremony, it can be said that there are like clouds of knights and heroes like rain. It is not just the two of them who are using the art of sound transmission to exchange opinions with people they know well, but almost everyone. When talking quietly with people around or acquaintances through sound transmission, the things and objects that everyone pays attention to are slightly different. Different people, on such occasions, think of and pay attention to different things.
For many wealthy families who came to Youzhou for the first time, this was also their first opportunity to observe Jinwu Hall up close.
"I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would send all his daughters here. This is really a huge investment!"
"If I were His Highness the Crown Prince, not to mention one princess, even a hundred princesses, if Qianji Zhenjun wanted them, I could send them to you. Isn't it just at times like this that royal ladies come into play? It's just a pity. , Qianji Zhenjun, a talented person, actually died in Shazhou Yinhai, which is disappointing. If Qianji Zhenjun is still alive, Taixia will definitely be in a different situation twenty years later... "
"That's right. I heard that the Zhulong Territory is preparing to build several Class A cities at the same time!"
"It's not preparation, but construction has already started. I heard that the Xuantian City where the wedding is being held today is only for temporary use. With the financial status of Jinwutang, it is naturally impossible to put the core of the family in such an ordinary small city. .”
…
"I wonder what the three major sects will think when they see this scene today!"
"What else can you think? The three major sects are now too busy to take care of themselves. A holy step of Zhitian Pavilion has died, the mountain gate of Taiyi Xuanmen is still in a mess, and I heard that the destruction of Dahuang Sect has made waves again. Someone has come to Tingwei's Mansion to testify that there were knights in Qionglou who were involved in the Dahuangmen incident. What's more, the shady secrets of the three major sects have now been spread... "
"I have also heard that in fact, the three major sects have long known that the space above the Yin Sea is very unstable, and that the space cracks are caused by humans. Originally, the three major sects wanted to kill Qianji Zhenjun, but because of Qianji Zhenjun You are a dignified gentleman, your reputation is too great, and you are popular among people. Killing him directly will put the three major sects into complete passivity and cause huge public outrage. Therefore, I came up with such an idea, which is to use the sect's black post to kill Qianji Zhenjun. Led to the Yin Sea, and then used the space cracks above the Yin Sea to kill Qian Ji Zhenjun, making everything an accident so that he could explain to the world. Unfortunately, something went wrong at that time. In the end, Lian Hunyuan Tianjun They all jumped in, causing Zhitian Pavilion to suffer heavy losses..."
"This is retribution..."
…
"I heard that several of Qianji Zhenjun's children were born a few days ago..."
"Of course, look at the ones among the Golden Crow Hall's female relatives who are holding their children. I heard that they are all boys, and there is another pair that is a dragon and a phoenix!"
"That's so pitiful. Those children lost their father as soon as they were born!"
"With their mother here, even without their father, those children are not pitiful. Look at the women holding the children. One is the princess of the Guangnan Palace, and the other is currently in charge of the Iron Dragon Sect. Yan Feiqing, and Guo Hongyi, the mothers of those children are not ordinary people!"
"That's right. Those children of Qianji Zhenjun will definitely be successful in the future..."
"With such parents, family affairs, and a bunch of relatives and brothers, it's impossible for those children to be hopeless!"
Different from those men, the several female guests on the auditorium were paying attention to a few of the female relatives of the Golden Crow Hall who had children and had special status.
…
The three women, Yan Feiqing, Bai Suxian, and Guo Hongyi, were all dressed in white today, wearing thick and gorgeous mink velvet coats. Because they had given birth to children, the three women were each a lot more graceful. With an infant child, she attended Zhang Chenglei’s wedding as Zhang Chenglei’s parent and elder.
Several children have opened their eyes and are watching everything around them curiously without crying.
"The old lady said that the children are still young and it is cold outside, so they are susceptible to wind and cold. If that doesn't work, the ladies can go to the house to rest temporarily..." Zhang Tie's sister-in-law walked up to the women and quietly spoke to them. The woman said something.
"No matter how young these children are, they are Zhang Tie's flesh and blood. What their father can experience, they can also experience. This bit of severe cold is nothing..." Yan Feiqing replied calmly, "It's them today." Everyone from the Zhang family is here for my eldest brother’s wedding. They are also members of the Zhang family and cannot be absent. If Zhang Tie is here, he will never let them hide in the house!"
Zhang Tie's sister-in-law just sighed slightly and said nothing when she heard this. However, when these words were heard by some people nearby, they were secretly shocked.
Just as a group of guests and guests were quietly talking, the majestic and luxurious Taixia royal airship had landed on the specially opened landing field. The hatch of the airship was opened, the spiral staircase was lowered, and the first person Already walked out of the flying boat.
The person who walked out was not Princess Shangping, but an elder from the Taixia Royal Family. The first person to greet her was not Zhang Chenglei, but Zhang Chenglei's uncle Zhang Yang. The two exchanged a few words in low voices at the door of Feizhou. As bursts of music sounded, Princess Shangping, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, walked out of the flying boat surrounded by several female officials and maids. Zhang Chenglei, who looked calm, walked over surrounded by a group of Zhang family children, and took the initiative to hold the hand. Princess Shang Ping's hand then led Princess Shang Ping towards the old lady and old man of the Zhang family who were sitting on the Zhang family's throne...
The wedding ceremony officially begins.
Amidst the long sound of the horn, there was a roar in the sky, and neat formations of air cavalry aircraft began to appear in the sky of Xuantian City, pulling out streaks of colorful smoke like rainbows, passing through the wedding Above the scene, throughout Xuantian City, deafening cheers rang out at this time.
At the same time, in other big cities in the Zhulong Territory and Golden Crow City, as well as in the towns where hundreds of millions of households gathered in Jinwu Hall, the bells of the celebration began to ring. Amid the bells, groups of people dragged colorful smoke. The plane flew over the main streets of these cities at low altitude. The plane door opened, and countless red envelopes containing gold or silver coins flew out of the plane door, like red flowers raining from the sky, falling one after another. Entering the icy and snowy streets, squares, and rooftops, cities and towns instantly fell into carnival.
On the occasion of the wedding of the eldest son of Qianji Zhenjun, Jinwutang used tens of thousands of planes to make huge profits in Zhulong Territory. Red envelopes worth tens of millions of gold coins were dropped from the sky, giving to all directions, benefiting thousands of households, rejoicing with the people, and creating a sensation. The world…
Who can compare with such a handwriting and magnificence? Many wealthy families in Taixia looked at each other in silence, and the envoys from various countries who attended the wedding changed their faces in shock...
There is a proverb in the Western Continent that pie does not fall from the sky, but today in Taixia, everyone saw gold coins falling from the sky.
…
"You should take a look at the legacy you left behind. You brat, your son is already married, but you ran away first..." In the heavy snow, Tang De did not appear in Xuantian City. Instead, together with Zhang Tiezai's good brothers such as Barry, Shavin, Baghdad, Wright, and Sista of the Aircraft Brotherhood, they blew on the top of the tallest iron tower in the brand new Black Flame City rebuilt in the Candle Dragon Territory. Breathing the north wind and drinking wine, they commemorated Zhang Tie in their own way.
Watching the planes that dropped countless red envelopes flying past everyone's eyes, and watching the Black Flame City immersed in joy, Tang De's eyes were blurred, as if he was drunk, and he shouted to the sky from the top of the tower. , "Do you remember what you said in the grocery store before? You said that one day you will have money, more money than you can use in ten lifetimes. If your son gets married, you will scatter countless gold coins from the sky and let everyone live together. You have fun together, and you treat the children without parents in the orphanage in Black Flame City to a luxurious steak dinner. Now you are rich, so much money that you won’t be able to spend it all in a hundred lifetimes. Your son is married, Jinwu The Tang Dynasty has used planes to spread money, and the children without parents in the countless Golden Crow Courtyards in Taixia can eat luxurious meals today. You should come and drink with us... "
In the midst of shouting, Tang De threw the wine down from the tower. The wine was still in the air. When it encountered the cold air and the north wind, it turned into snow mist and flew away, blending into the heaven and earth.
"You liar, you said you wanted to be my son's master. My son has given birth to a lot of children. We rebuilt Black Flame City in Taixia. Black Flame City is already our brother's territory. We haven't gone to find you yet. Well, you have gone off to nowhere, you liar, liar, I will never trust you again..." Doug burst into tears.
While the residents of New Black Flame City were enjoying the carnival, Barry and the others on top of the tower were all in tears.
…
At the same time, when the ground of Youzhou Jinwu Hall was enveloped in joy, the atmosphere inside the mountain gate of Taiyi Xuanmen was slightly depressed.
Taiyi Patriarch, wearing a black and white Taoist robe, sat with his eyes half closed, listening to an elder in charge of Taiyi Xuanmen's secular business reporting on Taiyi Xuanmen's affairs in recent months with several solemn-looking leaders of Taiyi Xuanmen. The operating conditions of Yi Xuanmen's business.
Although a large sect like Taiyi Xuanmen has many knights and seems to be superior, the foundation of the entire sect is still inseparable from the most basic worldly things such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, gold, silver and treasures. Without these supports, Taiyi Xuanmen would not be able to survive. It can't be sustained at all.
"In recent months, the income of the eight major business groups affiliated to Taiyi Xuanmen has declined. Many customers and merchants who originally cooperated with our business groups have now chosen other business groups, especially our affiliated business groups and Taixia After Zhang Yang became the leader of Jin Quan Dao, many cooperation and businesses with the government of various states and counties have basically been squeezed out by other business groups affiliated with Jin Quan Dao in recent months. In candle oil and In the business of these two bulk commodities, full-effect pharmaceuticals, our business group has been completely squeezed out and has no influence at all. The Golden Crow Business Group has completely blocked our supply channels and prohibited any business group or family from supplying to us. , Our Tiangong Business Group was already manufacturing aircraft last year and had negotiated sales. However, just in the past few months, several families that were originally going to accept our aircraft also regretted it after compensating us for liquidated damages in accordance with the contract. We asked privately, and they said that someone had told them that as long as they dared to buy our planes, they would not be able to obtain a drop of candle oil. Those planes would never fly into the sky and could only be used as decorations... "
"Even in the traditional areas of cloth, tobacco and tea, medicinal materials, mineral deposits, high-end ordnance and grain trade of our merchant group, we are now faced with a sudden surge of merchants closely related to Jin Quan Dao or Jinwu merchant group. Due to the competition between the group and the family, a lot of business has been taken away..."
"In the past few months, the income of the sect's business groups has dropped by more than 20%..."
The leaders of Taiyi Xuanmen listened, and no one had a smile on their face. They all just looked at Taiyi Patriarch quietly.
Everyone knows the reason for all this, but no one will say it.
It has been less than a year since the Battle of the Yin Sea, and Patriarch Taiyi's white hair, as bright as snow, seems to have faded a bit.
The sect blackmail issued by the three major sects this time has been completely messed up. Although Zhang Tie is dead, the price paid by the three major sects on that day was unexpected by everyone. of.
The fall of Hunyuan Tianjun was beyond everyone's expectations.
The assassination of the third prince Xuanyuan Wuji was even more unacceptable.
Everyone has a feeling of being overwhelmed. No one knows why this is happening. It seems that there is an invisible hand directing all this, which makes people feel chilling.
Is the sect’s blackmail incident over? No, it just goes on in another way.
Zhang Tie is dead, but Zhang Tie's godson is still there, a bunch of women are still there, and Jinwutang is still there, so this matter is not over yet.
"The number of outer disciples who want to join Taiyi Xuanmen has also decreased a lot in the past six months..." An elder whispered, and then quietly glanced at Taiyi Patriarch again.
The room fell into silence. Taiyi Patriarch sat with half-closed eyes. No one knew what Taiyi Patriarch was thinking about at this time. After a long while, Taiyi Patriarch's eyes were fully opened. Opening it, she glanced at everyone in the room and said, "I underestimated Qianji Zhenjun, and also underestimated Xuanyuan Hill..."
It has been so long since the Battle of the Yin Sea. This is the first time Taiyi Patriarch has admitted his "mistake" in public. For a moment, everyone in the room was just silent, not knowing how to respond.
However, Patriarch Taiyi continued without waiting for anyone to speak. What he said next made everyone stunned.
"But we have not lost yet, and it is not the time to admit defeat. Just like the holy war between Taixia and the demons, everything has just begun. This small difficulty in front of us cannot shake Taiyi Xuanmen, our goal, It will definitely come true, and no one can stop it." Patriarch Taiyi's eyes sharpened, and he seemed to pierce the void in front of him, looking into the distance, deep and cold, "Three years, as long as three more years pass. In a few years, the demons will create opportunities for us... "
Ah, demons? Why demons? The leaders of Taiyi Xuanmen looked at each other in confusion.
"Do you think the demons have already unleashed their true strength in this holy war? Do you think Taixia's western theater can really be defended?" Taiyi Patriarch smiled coldly, "If you think so, you will We underestimated the demons too much. The real collapse of Taixia has not yet come, but... it’s not far away... "
