In the Qin Lu Emperor Palace, Empress Li was sitting in the garden gazebo, holding a thin teacup, taking a sip of light green tea, then put the teacup down, and said, "Are you still unable to figure it out?"
Li Kuanglan was still dressed in the uniform of a warrior, showing off in men's attire, sitting opposite Li Hou, not saying a word, obviously dissatisfied in his heart.
Empress Li smiled lightly and said, "If there's anything you can't figure out, let's hear it."
Li Kuanglan's face was a little weird, and he was a little bit shy in anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "You, you've never seen him before, why are you doing this all of a sudden!"
But Empress Li didn't worry about it. She glanced at her with a half-smile, and said, "The result is not bad, isn't it?"
Li Kuanglan's face turned red, and she lowered her head a little, but her mouth was still firm: "But this can't be said to be right at the beginning."
"I respect the Li family of Tang Dynasty, but I started my business with the art of secrets. If it wasn't for a freak like Lin Xitang, my Li family would have dominated the secrets of the empire today. I used up the treasures inherited from my family , the result is not bad."
"But if Tianji Technique is really omnipotent, my Li family should have ruled the world long ago."
Empress Li's tone softened a bit, and said: "In this palace, there are certain things that cannot be said. Even if it is you, there are some rules that should be followed."
Li Kuanglan gritted his teeth and snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Empress Li smiled slightly and said: "Considering your current body, this trivial matter is fine. But it's better to be vigilant from time to time, otherwise it will be bad if these words reach His Majesty's ears. The Imperial Palace is very big. , I’m not the only one who has the final say.”
Battles in the palace have always been dangerous, and they will use everything to the extreme. Empress Li is currently in the limelight, but it does not mean that there will be no worries. As long as you are a little careless, you may be pulled down from the back seat. Concubine Zhao's defeat back then was because she underestimated the enemy.
Although Li Kuanglan acted rashly, at least he knew that he couldn't drag Li's hind legs, so he nodded immediately, indicating that he knew.
Empress Li let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, if you have something on your mind, let's take this opportunity to talk about it."
Li Kuanglan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I still think it's a bit hasty."
Li Hou didn't answer, but said: "I just got the news that Qianye has also returned from the maelstrom. Qingyun has been waiting nearby, and wants to find a way to fight. Now that they are counting, they have probably already fought." right?"
Li Kuanglan stood up abruptly, and said in surprise, "Qingyun wants to challenge Qianye?"
"Why, are you worried that Qianye will lose, or get injured?"
Li Kuanglan sat down slowly, and said: "Qianye won't lose, I'm just worried that Qingyun will use some not-so-glamorous methods."
Li Hou drank tea lightly, and then said: "I have already arranged for this matter. No matter what method Qingyun wants to use, it will not work there. He can only be honest and fight this battle by himself."
"Then, then he..."
At this time, a servant came quickly. His footwork was like floating on water, swift and incomparable, and accompanied by the sound of fine footsteps. In a blink of an eye, he arrived outside the pavilion, bowed his head, handed over a secret report, and said, "Your Majesty, the news has arrived."
"Okay, you go down."
Li Hou took the secret report, opened it and read it twice, Fang said: "Qingyun lost, and he lost very badly. This Qianye really exceeded my expectations."
She handed the secret report to Li Kuanglan, and Li Kuanglan took it and read it carefully. Li Qingyun would lose, which was already expected by her. He lived and died with Qianye in the maelstrom. After so many days, Li Kuanglan knew how terrifying Qianye's real combat power was. The place where Qianye can display his combat power the most is when life and death are at stake. His ability to continue fighting and save his life is also unparalleled. On the contrary, under the challenge of this kind of rules-based sparring, Qianye couldn't use some methods.
You can't give your opponent a primordial spear during the sparring, right? Vitality looting is also not useful.
Most of the contents of this secret report were familiar to Li Kuanglan, but the last comment made her a little puzzled.
"Boundless meaning? What is this?"
Li Houdao: "This is what I find unexpected. The kendo Qingyun cultivated was originally restrained by Qianye's way of winning with strength, and defeat is due. At that time, suddenly there was a boundless artistic conception of changes in the world. That punch was like a whole continent descending. The power of a punch."
Li Kuanglan said: "But in the maelstrom, I haven't seen him use this kind of boxing."
"It's probably because he has accumulated enough, and he broke through again during this period of time." Speaking of this, Li Hou sighed softly, and said with some emotion: "With this punch, I am afraid that everyone except Zhao Jundu will Besides, no one is his opponent. Even those half-toned generals who are barely able to break through, I am afraid that they will also be defeated by Qianye. Those idiots have been forced out of the Empire."
Today, there is almost a public opinion on what happened to Qianye back then. Just seeing that he did not go to Yongye after leaving the empire, but chose a neutral place, it is clear that he still has a heart for the human race. The saying that people who are not of my race must have a different heart is self-defeating.
If there were no events of the day, even if the identity of Qianye's blood clan was exposed due to the foundation of the Zhao Clan, as long as it was not made public, many big shots would turn a blind eye. And Qianye can still play an important role in many gray areas, even a decisive role.
In the millennium of the empire, in addition to black and white, there are also many grays, and there are more and more trends.
Regarding Qianye's expulsion, Li Kuanglan also felt resentful at this moment, and said angrily, "The King of Longevity is really a fool! Does our Li family still need to support him? With so much ginkgo wine, who should we give it to?"
Li Hou was calm, and said: "At that time, no one would have imagined that it would be the situation today. The King of Longevity has been out of control for a long time, and he is all about prolonging his life. Anyway, he is the oldest among the heavenly kings. It is also in charge of the military department, and a better relationship with him will not do us any harm."
Li Kuanglan added, "He is also the weakest."
"If it's not the weakest, how can we do anything?"
This also makes sense, Li Kuanglan thought for a while, then suddenly sighed, and said, "Sister, do you think so little about us?"
"Our Li family is going to become a powerful family."
"But we... are not weaker than the people of the Four Clans." Li Kuanglan's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Compare with Zhang Zhao? Then there is no need to compare." Li Hou smiled, and then said: "Although the white clan looks quite satisfactory, there is only one white bump that can be talked about. But they still have variables, and I can see if there is one in it." There may be someone hiding in the dark. As for the Song Clan, what do you think of Song Zining?"
"That pervert! He always knows it's useless to do something." Li Kuanglan looked disgusted. Song Zining's reputation among women is indeed not very good.
Li Hou smiled and said: "He is indeed a little cunning, but he also has great wisdom. Although the Song Clan is in danger of being demoted, it will always be ten years later. At that time, it may be because of Song Zining For the sake of this, the Song Clan's aristocratic status can still be preserved."
Li Kuanglan snorted, but he never expected that Queen Li would speak so highly of Song Zining.
"So, among the four valves, our Li family's younger generation has not really overwhelmed any of them."
"But it's not worse than Bai Song, right?" Li Kuanglan was still a little unconvinced.
Li Houdan said: "If you want to become a big family, you just need to be good? Only by overwhelming at least one family can you have hope. At least for now, I can't see hope, so I can only make plans early."
"So, Qingyun and I are abandoned sons..." Li Kuanglan smiled wryly.
Empress Li pointed at her stomach, smiled and said: "You are not, on the contrary, you will still be one of the most honorable in the clan in the future. As for Qingyun, no one wants to abandon him, but he wants to die, and he can Why?"
Li Kuanglan rubbed his lower abdomen with his hands, and sighed softly, with both joy and worry on his brows.
On the airship, nothing happened. During the several days of flying across the mainland, Qianye practiced on the boat with peace of mind. The void is not a suitable environment for others to practice, but Qianye's Taixuan Bingjue is the best at controlling the force of the void, and the cultivation will not be affected at all.
When the airship arrived at the West Continent, Qianye's seventh force vortex had already been formed and condensed successfully.
When he got off the airship, there was a confused girl beside Qianye. From the looks of it, he looks about ten years old, but he is very tall, reaching Qianye's shoulders, and his beauty is just blooming, and he has a shocking appearance.
It's just that this little girl always looks like she's not awake, and most of her body hangs on Qianye's arm. Looking at it like that, if the body was smaller, it would have climbed onto Qianye's head.
The person who came to welcome him saw this scene, his expression was different, his eyes were slightly deflected, and instead of looking at the girl, he said to Qianye: "Master Qianye, your itinerary has already been arranged, please come with me."
Qianye followed him to another airship. This airship looks a little worn out, and its style is even more old than a hundred years ago. But Qianye is also an expert at the moment, just looking at the extra reinforced hull and mechanical structure, he knows that this is a ship specially designed to fly to neutral places.
"This ship will go directly to the East China Sea, and it is loaded with this batch of goods that need to be transported to the floating land. Seventh Young Master also left you a letter, which is on the ship. You can open it yourself."
"Where is Zining? Where is he now?" Qianye asked.
"Seventh Young Master is now in Qin Lu, and he has to deal with some family affairs. Ningyuan Heavy Industry also has some things to deal with. After that, he will go to the Eternal Night Continent, and the affairs there should be arranged. So He said, you don't have to wait for him."
Qianye had a strange feeling, always felt that Song Zining was not busy, but did something guilty and was avoiding him on purpose.
But the people who received him were only Song Zining's subordinates, so he couldn't ask any questions. So Qianye boarded the airship and headed for the East China Sea.
As soon as she boarded the boat, little Zhuji found a bed and continued to fall asleep. The heart of the six-armed giant she ate was indeed a great tonic. These days, she grew taller almost every day. When she left the maelstrom, she looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, and now she has turned into a ten-year-old girl.
In the cabin, Qianye found the letter Song Zining had left for him. The first sentence above is:
There may be changes in Nanqingcheng, which must be suppressed in time.
