At this time, in the Ling family residence, Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng were sitting in a small hall chatting. Www!qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo!comAlthough Ling Xiongfeng is the acting head of the Ling family, he still sits at the bottom with a look of respect for Ling Xiongjie.
"Xiongfeng, how do you think I treated you in the past?" Ling Xiongjie said in a low voice.
"The master of the family has treated me very well in the past. Xiongfeng is grateful in his heart." Ling Xiongfeng said, but he was slandering in his heart. He has never been Ling Xiongjie's confidant and has always been on the periphery of the family. He and Ling Yu are somewhat in the same boat. , although he is now the temporary head of the family, most of the family power is still in the hands of Ling Xiongjie. He did not dare to be disrespectful to Ling Xiongjie, otherwise if Ling Xiongjie or Ling Xiongjie's son Ling Cheng ascended to the position of head of the family again, he would not have a good life in the future.
"Very good, Xiongfeng, if you obey my orders, I won't treat you badly. The Snow Emperor has been ignoring family affairs for many years. Today's Ling family is completely different from before. The Snow Emperor cannot do it alone. Lord." Ling Xiongjie said lightly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Ling Xiongfeng naturally understood that there was an obvious threat in Ling Xiongjie's words. He understood that Ling Xiongjie's methods were vicious, and Ling Yu's parents died at the hands of Ling Xiongjie. Although the Snow Emperor has a great say in the Ling family and can even remove Ling Xiongjie as the head of the family, it is difficult to completely change the current situation of the Ling family. Whether it is the law enforcement hall or the family's various businesses, they all belong to Ling Xiongjie. The confidants are in control.
Ling Xiongfeng sighed. Although Ling Yu had the support of the Snow Emperor, Ling Yu would still not be able to ascend to the position of head of the family unless the Snow Emperor stayed in the Ling family or could change the structure of the Ling family first.
"The monarch's envoy has arrived!" Suddenly, a shout came from outside.
Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng were both stunned. Wasn't the monarch holding a feast? Why did he suddenly send an envoy to the Ling family
They came to their senses and immediately filed out. All the Ling family members gathered in the front hall and bowed to greet the monarch's envoys.
"I will accept the order." Ling Xiongfeng, as the acting head of the family, stood in front of everyone and said respectfully. Everyone in the hall knelt down as he said.
The monarch's envoy was a golden-armored bodyguard. He glanced at Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng, unfolded a bright yellow scroll, and read loudly: "The monarch's oracle, Ling Family Sanlang Ling Yu, has both political integrity and talent, and is young and promising. I Princess Zhaoming, Ji Zixuan, is specially betrothed to Ling Yu, and is granted the title of Lord of the Holy City of Lingxiao, with a territory of hundreds of miles..."
After receiving the imperial edict from the monarch's envoy, Ling Xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng were a little stunned and unable to react. The monarch actually married the princess to Ling Yu? This is too incredible! There are so many young talents from major wealthy families pursuing princesses. Why did Ji Haotian, that old fox, choose Ling Yu
Now Ling Yu is just the third heir to the Ling family. What methods did he use to marry the princess
If it was just the Snow Emperor's support, Ling Yu's chances of becoming the head of the Ling family were not great. But now that he has the support of the monarch, the result will be different. Will the monarch allow his son-in-law to not even be the head of the Ling family
In terms of means, can Ling Xiongjie be as ruthless as Ji Haotian, the king of a country
The six wealthy families in the imperial capital are all under Ji Haotian's surveillance. Ji Haotian could use any means to kill Ling Xiongjie easily. After all, he was the king of a country!
With the support of the royal family, no matter how Ling Xiongjie struggles. Ling Yu is confirmed as the head of the Ling family! If he had to resort to some means, not only would he not be able to kill Ling Yu, he might be killed first by Ji Haotian!
No extraordinary means. How could he easily take the position of king
After listening to this oracle, Ling Xiongjie's face became desolate and gloomy. Even if he was deposed as the head of the family by the Snow Emperor, he did not feel as powerless as he does now. If he wanted to help Ling Cheng fight for the position of the head of the family, he would not only have to face For the Snow Emperor, he also had to face the terrifying Ji Haotian.
What kind of bad luck did this kid Ling Yu have? !
Until the monarch's envoys left, everyone in the hall still didn't come back to their senses for a long time. This guy Ling Yu actually married the princess. Isn't this a dream? Ji Haotian would never marry off a princess easily. Royal marriages were often closely related to politics, but what did Ji Haotian see in Ling Yu
Ling Xiongfeng was also extremely surprised. Only then did he realize that he had really underestimated Ling Yu! From the very beginning when he was captured by the law enforcement elders and brought back to the Ling family, he talked about it at the clan meeting, then with the support of the Snow Emperor, he removed Ling Xiongjie as the head of the family, and now he suddenly became Ji Haotian's son-in-law. This is absolutely not true. The means available to ordinary people!
Ling Yu's previous dullness and concessions were probably just low-key forbearance. Such a thunderous method immediately stunned Ling Xiongjie.
Ling Xiongfeng suddenly wanted to laugh and couldn't help laughing. Ling Xiongfeng's laughter filled the entire hall.
"Ling Xiongfeng, are you crazy about gains and losses?" Ling Xiongjie said angrily. From today on, he felt that he was gradually losing his prestige in the Ling family.
"Of course I'm not crazy about gains and losses!" Ling Xiongfeng looked around at the people in the hall and laughed. "It just so happens that all the law enforcement elders, as well as all the branch heads and supervisors are here. I, Ling Xiongfeng, want to say a few words. The princess is getting married. Ling Yu is a great joy for our Ling family! Ling Yu is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the next head of the Ling family, do you have any objections?"
Everyone in the hall had different expressions, but no one said a word. Ling Xiongfeng continued: "I, Ling Xiongfeng, am willing to support the new head of the family to succeed to the throne. As for the law enforcement elders, branch heads and supervisors, you can decide for yourself. Support Everyone who has become the new head of the family, Ling Yu, please come forward."
There was silence in the hall. After a moment of silence, people walked towards Ling Xiongfeng one after another. The first to go were the heads of each branch family. They were less constrained by Ling Xiongjie and had a certain degree of autonomy. They first expressed their support for Ling Xiongfeng. support, then the various supervisors, and then even Ling Xiongjie's confidants from the Law Enforcement Hall walked towards Ling Xiongfeng.
This is the choice of everyone in the Ling family. If Ling Xiongjie was just dismissed as the head of the family, with so many years of remaining power, Ling Xiongjie would not lose power easily. However, the news of the princess marrying Ling Yu brought everything to a halt. changed.
Everyone knows that continuing to follow Ling Xiongjie will only lead to a dead end!
Except for Ling Gong and a few others who still stood by Ling Xiongjie, more than 60 people in power in the Ling family in the hall came to Ling Xiongfeng's side. Now no one can stop Ling Yu from succeeding as the head of the Ling family.
"You are very good! You two-sided villains!" Ling Xiongjie's facial expression was ferocious and twisted, and he cursed angrily in front of everyone. He did not expect that his many years of management in the Ling family would fall apart in an instant, and all his achievements would be wiped out. All this happened so fast that he was caught off guard, and there was no way he could save it.
Ling Gong was also extremely depressed. He didn't expect Ling Xiongjie to lose power so quickly. Even if he defected to Ling Xiongfeng's side at this moment, it would not help because he had already offended Ling Yu miserably on the way back when he escorted Ling Yu back. , who would have thought that Ling Yu, who was a prisoner not long ago, would become the king's son-in-law and the future head of the Ling family in the blink of an eye
"Fuck!" Ling Gong couldn't help but curse. He could only blame himself for his bad luck. If he hadn't offended Ling Yu before, he would have stood by Ling Xiongfeng's side without hesitation like everyone else. He knew , now the situation is irreversible. As the princess's consort, and with the support of the Snow Emperor, Ling Yu will become the most powerful head of the Ling family!
Ling Xiongjie never imagined that Ling Yu would make a quick comeback in such a way. He didn't even have time to prepare.
"You want me to admit defeat, that's impossible!" Ling Xiongjie gritted his teeth and secretly resented it. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Even if he had to avoid its edge and retreat behind the scenes for the time being, he was still unwilling to admit defeat. Even if Ling Xiongjie Yu is about to take over as the head of the family, and there will be no way to do anything to him for a while. He can still find an opportunity after all!

In the inner hall of the imperial city, the banquet is still going on. It is said that there are still three important people who are not present. I don't know who those people are. It is so big that so many war emperors are waiting here.
I heard that two war emperors were from the Taoist court, but I didn’t know where they came from.
A group of people were chatting, and suddenly, the flying knives in Ye Chen's mind began to buzz and tremble.
Ye Chen frowned. Even these powerful warriors couldn't see the flying knives in his mind. Only Ye Chen felt the strangeness of the flying knives.
What is it that triggers the flying knife
Ye Chen was a little confused.
"Yuhuang, Qinhuang and Miss Ruoyun have arrived." At this moment, a guard came in and reported loudly.
"Invite them in quickly!" Ji Haotian quickly ordered. He immediately stood up and said sorry to the war emperors present, and then hurriedly went to greet them in person.
When they heard that Emperor Yu, Emperor Qin and Miss Ruoyun were coming, all the war emperors who were chatting in their seats stood up.
Seeing that all the war emperors had stood up, Ye Chen naturally would not remain sitting there, and stood up as well, asking the Snow Emperor beside him: "Master Snow Emperor, Yu Emperor, Qin Emperor and that girl Ruoyun, who are they?" who?"
"You have to be careful when you speak later. The Emperor Yu and Emperor Qin are the proud disciples of the Lord of the Taoist Court, the God Emperor. They are both geniuses with a star-soul fusion degree close to 70. In their twenties, they are already the first level of the War Emperor. As for Miss Ruoyun, her status is extremely noble. No one knows her true identity, and no one knows what her cultivation level is. Some people speculate that she is the daughter of the God of Service, but no one can be sure yet. " Snow Emperor reminded quietly beside Ye Chen.
It turned out that they were important figures in the Taoist court. No wonder these war emperors were polite to these two young war emperors from the Taoist court even though they were usually domineering.
Ye Chen thought to himself, the flying knives in his mind kept buzzing and trembling, and the profound energy surged out and flowed throughout his body. This time, the overflowing profound energy was actually purer than before. After it came out, it quickly merged into In the Dantian.
The nine stars in Dantian also underwent subtle changes, and various mysterious spirits wandered on the surfaces of the nine stars.
These mysterious spirits were like living beings, and Ye Chen seemed to be able to feel their joyful mood.
