The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and several guards guarding not far from the tower have been on guard
The low temperature of minus 20 degrees is nothing to martial artists in the pulse condensing stage. As long as they circulate their true energy, they can dispel the cold air, but those maids and servants will suffer. They don't have cultivation base. Standing in the wind, shivering from the cold after a while
However, the rules of the United Chamber of Commerce are very strict. Although they are freezing, they dare not stamp their feet and rub their hands to keep warm
At this time, a few servant girls came over with grapes and desserts, their little faces were flushed from the cold, and the plates were already covered with snow.
Wei Yi checked the fruit, made some snacks, nodded, and motioned for them to send it over, but the moment he waved his hand, his body froze suddenly, and he looked at the water pavilion not far away in disbelief.
The terrace is empty
"What about... my lord?"
"Huh?" Wei Er and Wei San were dumbfounded when they heard the reputation.
"what happened?"
The four guards panicked, unfolded their movements and rushed over, only to see that Ouyang Dihua had disappeared from the tower, and Zhang Fengxian fell to the side, life and death unknown
At this moment, an inexplicable chill surged in the hearts of several guards. They are guarding here, how could such a thing happen
"Where is Master Ouyang? He was hijacked, or..."
Wei Yi finished speaking halfway, and did not continue. The other three were all terrified. If Ouyang Dihua died, they would also face severe punishment from Qixuangu.
Wei Yi stretched out his hand to check Zhang Fengxian's breath, and opened his eyelids for a look. Wei Yi suddenly gasped, the eyeballs had disappeared, only the whites of the eyes remained.
"Hurry up... report to the Wufu quickly, and use the long-distance message transmission array to inform Zongzong that something happened to Mr. Ouyang"
In fact, Qixuangu got the news the moment Ouyang Dihua died, and important figures in the sect, such as Ouyang Dihua, would have their own corresponding natal jade cards
Once a person dies, no matter how far the distance is, the jade plaque will shatter
The disciple guarding the jade tablet room heard the sound of the jade tablet shattering, looked at the number of the jade tablet slightly, and lit a sound transmission talisman
At this time, in a cave in the back mountain of Qixuan Valley, a middle-aged man wearing a black exercise suit was sitting cross-legged. His face was as indifferent as a rock carving, and as he circulated his true energy to practice, there was a faint cry of ghosts coming from his body, and gusts of cold air came out of his body, and quickly formed on the ground around him. a layer of ice
This person is Ouyang Boyan, the uncle of Ouyang Dihua, and also the elder of the Qixuan Valley Hehuan Sect, a master of the innate early stage.
"call"
A ball of flames was burning in front of Ouyang Boyan's eyes, and the voice of the deacon of the jade tablet room sounded in Ouyang Boyan's mind
"What?" Ouyang Boyan opened his eyes suddenly, with a cold light in his eyes, "Who killed my nephew?"
The next moment, Ouyang Boyan turned into a phantom and rushed out of the cave, and in an instant came to the jade tablet room. The deacon of the jade tablet room was already waiting here. At this time, a clear crack appeared on the jade plate, proving that Ouyang Dihua was dead.
"If you dare to kill my nephew, no matter who it is, I want his life to be worse than death, and the whole family will pay for it."
Ouyang Boyan's eyes are full of evil spirits. Twenty years ago, Ouyang Boyan had not yet broken through his innate ability. He was hunted down when he and Ouyang Dihua's father were out on a mission. The two fought desperately, and Ouyang Dihua's father died. , but also severely injured his opponent, Ouyang Boyan was lucky to save his life because of this, so he always regarded Ouyang Dihua as his own son, and tried his best to meet all his needs. Ouyang Boyan also helped his nephew suppress everything
The Seven Profound Valleys are not monolithic, each of the seven major sects is in charge of their own affairs, and due to the differences in their cultivation methods, their personal temperaments are also very different. As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other. It's really not that good, even the Valley Master of Qixuan Valley can't command them
Although Hehuanzong belongs to Qixuan Valley, it is not restricted at all. As the elder of Hehuanzong, Ouyang Boyan has great power. With his protection, Ouyang Dihua can almost do whatever he wants
Ouyang Boyan protected his nephew like this, but now, he is dead. This has touched Ouyang Boyan's inverse scales. Under the nine springs, he has no face to see his elder brother
"Prepare Kamikaze, I'm going to the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom" Ouyang Boyan ordered coldly, he has made up his mind that even if the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom is turned upside down, he will still find the murderer of his nephew
Tianyun City, the Bai family—
The Bai family in Tianyun City has been an official in the court for generations, and every generation of the family has a Chinese exam. It can be said that it is a scholarly family, a century-old family
Most members of the Bai family focus on literature, and are responsible for compiling literature and history, reviewing memorials, and managing government affairs.
In the generation of Bai Yuanpei, the current patriarch of the Bai family, the Bai family has reached its peak.
However, in the Sky Fortune Kingdom, which emphasizes martial arts over culture, the number one scholar who comes out every three years is not even as honorable as the first place in the Qixuanwu Mansion examination, which comes out every six months, and the prime minister of the court is not as powerful as the top ten generals.
Therefore, the Bai family has not been too prominent in Tianyun City for a long time.
However, when it came to the generation of Bai Yuanpei's grandsons and granddaughters, something unexpected happened, that is, Bai Yuanpei's granddaughter Bai Jingyun, who had an astonishing fourth-grade upper-class talent
Bai Jingyun's father is a literati with no martial arts talent at all, and her mother is a martial artist with a third-rank talent. It is really rare for Bai Jingyun to have such a talent
Because of this reason, Bai Jingyun's status in the family has remained stable since she was a child, and with her beautiful appearance, she soon became the proud daughter of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, attracting the envy and jealousy of countless girls, as well as the admiration of men.
However, when Bai Jingyun was fifteen years old, her princess-like life came to an end
Ouyang Dihua, who was traveling abroad, fell in love with Bai Jingyun's beauty and outstanding talent, and wanted to marry Bai Jingyun as his concubine
The Bai family was unwilling, but Ouyang Dihua proposed marriage directly to the emperor, and then the emperor issued an imperial decree with golden words, how could Bai Yuanpei not obey? Don't say that Ouyang Dihua is more powerful than the emperor, even if the emperor, any minister's daughter he likes, he would dare not refuse to accept him as a concubine, not to mention that Ouyang Dihua's uncle is also the elder of Qixuangu, Possess the terrifying power to abolish the emperor and establish another emperor
So Bai Yuanpei had no choice but to agree, but Bai Jingyun's father tried his best to oppose it. Ouyang Dihua's concubines already had an unknown number.
However, no amount of opposition can change Bai Yuanpei's decision
Bai Jingyun's father was just a frail scholar, his health was not good, he was bedridden all the year round, just at this time he suddenly passed away
According to the tradition of the Tianyun Kingdom, after the death of the father, the children of the direct line need to marry for a hundred days and observe filial piety for three years. Ouyang Dihua proposed marriage, not forced to close the furnace. This rule cannot be broken, so this marriage has been delayed.
Now, the filial piety period is about to pass, but Ouyang Dihua came to Tianyun City and became the envoy of the Seven Profound Envoys, which made Bai Jingyun feel desperate. He was powerless to resist his marriage proposal. Now, Ouyang Dihua is serving as the envoy of Qixuan, and his status is equivalent to a small servant of the Supreme Emperor Bai Yuanpei. The result can be imagined
Bai Jingyun hid for more than a month under the pretext of going out for training, but now she has no choice but to come back, facing this inevitable fate
She hadn't been to Wufu for many days, and she stayed in the room most of the time. This morning, Bai Jingyun got up to wash up, and there was a knock on the door
"Jingyun, open the door"
It's Bai Yuanpei's voice
Bai Jingyun sighed. She didn't really hate this grandfather who finally pushed her out for the benefit of the family, but she didn't have much affection either.
Especially after her father passed away, she became indifferent to Bai Yuanpei
"Come in," Bai Jingyun said calmly
"Jingyun, why didn't you have breakfast?" Bai Yuanpei tried his best to smile kindly to cover up his guilty conscience.
"no appetite"
"You always have to eat a little bit of food. I'll ask the kitchen to make some snacks for you and send them over."
"No need, I have to rest for a while." Bai Jingyun really didn't want to chat with Bai Yuanpei today, because she didn't need to think about why Bai Yuanpei came here
"That..." Bai Yuanpei coughed awkwardly, "I know, about the marriage proposal..."
"Needless to say, I understand." Bai Jingyun's voice was very cold. Proposing marriage is just a nice way of saying it. According to the customs of the Tianyun Kingdom, men are monogamous and have multiple concubines. Generally speaking, only wives who are married to a bright matchmaker have marriage proposals. , taking a concubine is not considered marriage proposal at all, even if the emperor marries a concubine, it is not considered marriage proposal
She knew very well that it was impossible to expect a little servant from her grandfather to resist Ren Qixuan.
Bai Yuanpei was blocked by a word, so he could only laugh dryly, "Well... in half a month, His Royal Highness Prince Yun, the tenth prince, will hold a banquet at his residence, um... this is an invitation..."
Bai Yuanpei shook his head bitterly, and took out a bronzing invitation card from his arms
Bai Jingyun glanced at the post, and she could guess with her toes that Ouyang Dihua must be invited to Prince Yun's banquet. In the past few months, the tenth prince has faintly received Ouyang Dihua's support, but His Royal Highness, because Lin Ming left without saying goodbye, and his prestige was greatly reduced. Many forces with a wait-and-see attitude have already turned to the Tenth Prince's side
"I'm not going." Bai Jingyun's voice was cold
"Jingyun, but..."
"As I said, I will keep mourning for my father for three years, vegetarian for three years, plain clothes for three years, and not marry for three years. Before that, I don't want to see Ouyang Dihua again. If you force me again, I'd rather die than obey."
When Bai Jingyun said this, his face was full of determination, and Bai Yuanpei was taken aback. If Bai Jingyun really committed suicide, he would not only lose his granddaughter, but also anger Ouyang Dihua
He hurriedly said: "Jingyun, Jingyun, calm down, if you don't go, you won't go, I will report to His Royal Highness Prince Yun..."
When Bai Yuanpei said this, a sound transmission talisman suddenly ignited in front of him, and when he heard the message from it, Bai Yuanpei was stunned. Ouyang Dihua...is...dead? )
, it is a kind of enjoyment, it is recommended that you collect it.
