Shangyang City in Qizhou is the seat of the state government of Qizhou.
In late spring, the sky is already a bit tired. The long-haired cat with blue eyes lay lazily under the verandah, occasionally raising its eyes and looking maliciously at the gorgeous parrots hanging under the veranda.
"Idiot, idiot."
Several large, colorful golden-billed parrots squatted on the bird stand, with their gorgeous feathers standing high, angrily scolding the smelly cats peering at them from both sides. The crisp cry immediately shattered the tranquility in the yard.
The spacious yard is lush with vegetation, and a morning glory blooms brilliantly on the west flower wall.
Two Qi Masters who are proficient in wood magic have just injected abundant vitality into this flower stand. The morning glories that should have withered long ago are like mushrooms after the spring rain, growing vigorously and fiercely.
Purple-red flowers gathered densely on the flower stand, and a wall of flowers turned a dazzling purple-red color.
Lin Jingfeng, the governor of Weinan County, stood under the verandah with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the morning glories.
He hated morning glories extremely. Every time he saw this common flower at the foot of fields and mountains, he would instinctively think of lonely graves, desolate lanterns, and white bones of the dead emerging from the lumps of earth.
This is a flower that is too humble, as humble as the common people. In fact, it is not qualified to grow in the palace of Weihou.
But his mother likes it. His mother, the first wife of Weihou, especially likes morning glories. This flower wall has been in full bloom in the Hou Mansion for more than a hundred years. Just hiring Qi Refiners every year to reverse the flowering period so that these morning glories bloom all year round costs no less than one hundred thousand taels of gold.
"Old lady, you have to have some quirks after all."
Lin Jingfeng could only remind himself this way.
"After all, she is Mrs. Weihou. She has no quirks. I'm sorry for her status."
Although he hates morning glories, his mother likes them, so he can only look at them with a bright smile.
There was a faint and long breathing sound in the room. Just now, Lin Jingfeng's eldest brother, the eldest son of Weihou, and the future Weihou Ye, Lin Jinglei, had just entered to pay his respects to his mother. The time has come. Mrs. Weihou, who was injured when she was young, must have breathed enough requiem, and now it's time to take a nap.
"Idiot, idiot!"
A few parrots were still chirping, and two cats were spinning around under the bird stand, their eyes purring, thinking about how to jump up to the bird stand and rip off the feathers on these damn long-haired beasts.
The sound of gentle footsteps came. He was almost similar to Lin Jingfeng, but slightly plumper and fairer than him. Lin Jinglei, who was obviously used to pampering, walked slowly over with his hands behind his back.
"Third brother."
"Brother."
The two brothers nodded to each other, then frowned at the same time, looking at the flower wall in the west.
Neither of them like morning glories. Compared with this humble flower, the two brothers prefer the beautiful and fragrant peonies, the strong and passionate roses, or the noble lotuses. These are all very good flowers.
With the powerful position of the Weihou Mansion and its financial position that almost monopolizes half of Qizhou, they have more and better choices. Even if the courtyard is covered with thousand-year-old spiritual flowers collected from the mountains, it will actually be a piece of cake.
"Old lady, I still like this thing after all."
Lin Jinglei sighed softly.
Waving his hand to drive the gorgeous morning glories away from his eyes, Lin Jinglei looked at his third brother in confusion.
"Over there in Weinan County, don't cause trouble these days."
"If we don't tear up this fat piece of meat in Prince Luo's mansion now, the sky will strike us with lightning."
Lin Jingfeng nodded slowly and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Prince Luo's Mansion, one of the eight princely mansions of the Kunwu Kingdom, and Prince Luo's Mansion, which was like a prince's palace, suddenly collapsed overnight with just such a 'bang'.
The direct descendants of the Luo Prince's Mansion were killed on the spot, with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.
Among the distant relatives of Prince Luo's Mansion, countless people were imprisoned and tortured.
The huge Luo Kingdom is now completely empty. The Luo King clan, which used to control countless interests in the Luo Kingdom, is now only seeking to protect itself and has no time to take over the various powers and interests of the Luo Kingdom.
The person responsible for dealing with Prince Luo's Mansion was a force from a higher level that even the Kunwu Kingdom did not dare to provoke.
They act in the name of the Kunwu Kingdom's Chaolufu, but insiders - people who are qualified enough to know know well that the Kunwu Kingdom's Chaolufu cannot control them. In the Kunwu Kingdom, these people can even control Kunwu. My emperor grabbed him from the throne and killed him on the spot.
They are not from the Kunwu Kingdom, so they don't care about the chaos in the Luo Kingdom.
They just want to complete their mission, capture King Luo alive, and then cleanse King Luo's ethnic group.
As for whose hands the future power of the Luo Kingdom will fall into, who will take over the huge profits from all walks of life in the Luo Kingdom, and whether there will be any changes in the power composition of the Luo Kingdom in the future, these people will never care about these things.
They don't care. There are people in the huge Kunwu Kingdom who care.
Luo Kingdom, such delicious and delicious fat meat, just one bite can increase the strength of a family several times.
The Weihou Mansion, Weihou's lineage, is only a fifth-rank family. Among the fifth-rank aristocratic families, the Weihou Mansion is considered to be an extremely powerful one. Moreover, it is a hereditary noble who shares the same status with the country. It is naturally stronger than the ordinary fifth-rank aristocratic families. A lot.
However, a fifth-grade aristocratic family is a fifth-grade aristocratic family. Regardless of its heritage and actual financial situation, there is a huge gap with the Luo Prince's Palace, which is a fourth-grade aristocratic family and is the top presence in the fourth-grade aristocratic family. Therefore, the Weihou lineage also had a strong urge to bite off a large piece of fat from Prince Luo's body.
"Weinan County is the closest to Luo State among the three states. It is only separated by a branch of Sijue Ridge."
"So you have the best conditions."
Lin Jinglei took a deep breath and looked at Lin Jingfeng with piercing eyes.
"That's why my father specially called you back, and you already know the means he arranged."
"Forget about Weinan County, Weinan County must not be moved, messed up, or make any noise for at least a year."
"I will devote myself wholeheartedly to conquering the Luo Kingdom. Before the new master of the Luo King's lineage appears, I will reap as many benefits as possible."
The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, with a strong and fierce light called ambition shining in their eyes.
They knew very well that things in Prince Luo's Mansion were a bit special this time. If the Luo Palace rebels, then the entire clan of the Luo Palace will be exterminated, and the royal family of the Kunwu Dynasty will select their own elite descendants to inherit the title and all the interests of the Luo Palace.
If that were the case, the Kunwu Kingdom would strictly prohibit local powerful people from interfering in the affairs of the Luo Kingdom, and the Luo Kingdom would become a reserved feast for the royal family.
But this time, things in Prince Luo's Mansion were too special. Those who will be killed will only be King Luo's direct relatives, a mere thousand people.
As long as the distant relatives of the Luo Prince's family are confirmed to have no involvement with Prince Luo and are not involved in that matter, they will be able to survive this drastic change.
Special circumstances, special treatment, the "Law" is strict and harsh, the "Law" is cruel and merciless, but for the special situation of King Luo this time, the "Law" also clearly stipulates that only the chief culprit and direct relatives will be killed, and side relatives are not allowed. It will move.
So according to the "Clan Law", the direct line of King Luo was eliminated, and the future Prince Luo Mansion will select elite talents from the branches of King Luo's lineage to take over.
I don’t know who that lucky person is, but because this lucky person is destined to exist, even if countless empty-hatted princes, princes, princes, princesses and other royal relatives in the royal family of Kunwu Dynasty are already drooling, they can’t Directly interfere with Luo State's interests.
Everyone had no choice but to swarm forward and grab it frantically while Luo Wangfu was empty and weak.
Whoever grabs it belongs to whom. Whoever eats it will become stronger.
"The Hou Mansion has 70% strength, third brother, you can mobilize it. This time, it depends on your performance, third brother."
Lin Jinglei raised his hand and patted Lin Jingfeng's shoulder hard.
"Remember one thing, as my father has repeatedly warned me, when plotting against Luo Kingdom, your own territory must not be messed up."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jinglei lowered his voice and muttered carefully.
Lin Jingfeng nodded slowly, and the expression on his face changed countless times in an instant.
At the cusp of the storm, Weihou must sit in Shangyang City, guard all the family's connections, and provide convenience for Lin Jingfeng.
Lin Jinglei must come forward to fully supervise all the peripheral forces of Weihou's lineage, and provide Lin Jingfeng with manpower and material reinforcements.
The second eldest son in the Weihou Mansion, I can't count on him for the time being.
Now the only one who can charge into the battle for the Weihou Mansion and strip naked to snatch the benefits is Lin Jingfeng.
In Lin Jinglei's detailed account, the Weihou Mansion's huge human resources and terrifying underlying strength gradually unveiled the mystery in front of Lin Jingfeng. Lin Jingfeng held his breath and listened carefully to his elder brother's instructions, his body trembling slightly subconsciously.
The Weihou lineage was the founding prince of the Kunwu Kingdom, the old nobles who truly lived and died with the Kunwu Kingdom. When such a behemoth was operating at full strength, the terrifying power it unleashed made Lin Jingfeng fearful that he might not be able to control it.
The Weihou lineage has such huge power to mobilize, but what about the other forces that are spying on the interests of the Luo Kingdom
Lin Jingfeng completely understood why there was no mistake in his own territory. Everyone is vying for the interests of the Luo Kingdom, using all possible means. At this critical juncture, if there is any trouble in Weinan County, a writ of impeachment from any force can make him fall into disgrace.
"Stable, I understand, I understand. Weinan County will definitely be stable these days. There won't be any problems here."
Lin Jingfeng took a deep breath, and bursts of cold sweat continued to flow out of his heart. There are many powers in the Weihou lineage, some of which can only be touched by Lin Jinglei, the future prince. Lin Jingfeng touched a little this time, and was already extremely frightened.
In the Four Jue Mountains, Yin Xuuge took back his hand and looked at the golden-red light on his body in surprise.
Like a layer of extremely fine phosphorus powder, after the small golden-red falcon collided with his body, it exploded into countless fine powders and stuck to his body. His whole body was spraying out dazzling golden-red flames, and the fire without any temperature could be three or four feet long.
The seven-round full moon looked at Yin Xuege tenderly. In the clear night light, he was like a huge light bulb. People with normal vision could clearly see his figure from more than a hundred miles away.
This was a strange secret technique, and Yin Xuuge felt an abnormal commotion in the vitality of heaven and earth.
But what is the use of this secret technique? Do you just want to turn yourself into a big light bulb
He didn't know the origin of the falcon, and was thinking about how to eliminate the flames on his body, when a transparent long sword stabbed out of the air behind him silently, and stabbed straight into his back.
The surrounding vegetation is swaying, and the air is filled with the dangerous aura emitted by the vegetation that only certain creatures can feel.
Legend has it that when certain strange plants and trees are attacked, the smell they emit can make similar people thousands of miles away feel the danger, causing their bodies to quickly secrete various toxins to defend themselves against being eaten by the enemy.
This is the strange instinct of plants, a kind of innate talent.
When the long sword appeared, Yin Xuege felt the danger coming from the suddenly strong smell of vegetation in the air.
Danger, extremely dangerous, a danger that made his hair stand on end. A powerful enemy launched an attack on him, and the enemy was far stronger than him in cultivation, making it impossible for him to resist.
At the very least, he is a strong man who has Qi flowing through hundreds of meridians and has opened up all the acupoints, hidden acupoints and meridians of the Qi refining method he practiced.
The physical strength is at least around Baiding, and the power that the vitality in the acupoints can explode may far exceed the terrifying powerhouse of Baiding.
Yin Xuuge's body turned strangely.
Three feet long, as thin as paper, and as transparent as crystal, the long sword tore open his clothes, cut a bone-deep wound in the muscles of his back, and broke a bone in his back. It pierced his left shoulder with a crisp sound.
Yin Xuege lunged forward, spreading her legs and walking away.
He let out a sharp cry, and the hummingbirds flying above his head took him without a word and ran towards Luo Qingqing.
When he rushed forward, the long sword separated from his body. Yin Xuuge looked back in his busy schedule and saw four vague figures fleeting in the air. Their bodies were slim and graceful, and judging by their body shape, they were clearly four young women.
He has no enemies with women, except Luo Qingqing.
But these four women couldn't have been sent by Luo Qingqing, because the hummingbird didn't respond at all.
Some other force sent four ridiculously powerful women to assassinate him? There is an air of mystery about this matter.
Run away, run away as fast as you can.
When escaping, Yin Xuege subconsciously started to move at random pace.
The Yinfeng Steps that comes with the Yinfeng Jue are the steps of a third-level human being. It is extremely mysterious and unpredictable to move and dodge in a small area.
But when running long distances, the secret technique of the ninth-grade Earth-level Chaos Wind Step is more than ten times stronger than Yin Feng Step.
Although it was the first time to use it, the Yin Feng Yuan Qi in the acupoints followed a special trajectory and circled in several meridians for a week before being sent out of the body. Suddenly, a large blue wind pattern visible to the naked eye appeared at Yin Xuuge's feet. .
The sound of 'swish, swish, swish' could not be stopped, and Yin Xuege's running speed suddenly increased by 50%.
After using it for the first time and before it could be condensed into the special talisman of the Chaos Wind Step, Yin Xuege ran the Chaos Wind Step for the first time, and his running speed increased by 50%. The scene in front of him suddenly blurred. He failed to adapt to the sudden increase in speed and almost hit a big tree.
"We have no grievances, so why kill me?"
The body radiated a strong light, and four hazy figures quickly chased behind it. Yin Xuuge ran wildly and shouted at the same time.
He threw his hands behind him, and the vitality containing the toxins of Curare Wood and Wolfsbane Vine in his acupoints spurted out soundlessly, and a faint blue-gray finger wind spurted out more than ten feet away.
The poisonous wind refers to the corresponding arm meridians that haven't been opened yet. He just forcibly drives the poisonous energy through the body and releases it from the body. Therefore, the poisonous wind finger has an extremely short range, with an attack distance of more than ten feet. Compared to the various attack methods in the Yuanlu world, it is really a bit shabby.
The four figures didn't care about the poisonous wind he ejected. They ran rampant and hit the finger wind he ejected.
They did not dodge, but ran into Yin Xuuge's attack without a care.
What profound methods can a mere disciple of the Yin family in Weinan have
Fragments of black and green magic patterns flickered in the thin finger wind, and the feminine poisonous wind gently penetrated into their bodies. The bodies of the four girls chasing Yin Xuuge froze slightly. At the same time, they felt a little numb and numb, and their skin was a little hot and itchy.
Curare paralyzes nerves and muscles; wolfsbane vine can erode limbs.
The two poisonous gases invaded the body at the same time. After all, it was a secret technique of the ninth level of the earth. Yin Xuuge extracted enough plant toxins and injected them into their bodies almost at the same time.
The four people exclaimed at the same time and yelled angrily.
"When did the Weinan Yin family have such a vicious method?"
The cultivation level of the four of them far exceeded that of Yin Xuege. Their original speed of skidding was at least twice as fast as that of Yin Xuege.
However, after being inexplicably poisoned by the poison in the wind, the poison quickly spread in their bodies. Their steps became particularly heavy, and their figures that had almost blended into the wind gradually became clearly visible.
Their speed quickly became almost the same as Yin Xuuge's. It is almost impossible to catch up with Yin Xuuge quickly.
"Damn it, when did the Weinan Yin family learn to use poison?"
The four girls were filled with hatred. If they had known this was the case, they would have at least activated a protective talisman in advance to avoid being plotted inexplicably.
Yin Xuuge was running ahead. They had marked his figure with the falcon talisman. If they couldn't kill him today, it would be even more complicated for Yin Xuuge, who was wary, to kill him again.
They shouldn't appear here. They don't have much time. They must turn around before Lin Jingfeng returns to the prefect's mansion.
"Take the poison-preventing pill, chase him, and kill him!"
The four women shouted in unison, and each took out the miasma elixirs commonly used when walking in the mountains and threw them into their mouths.
However, the poison of miasma and the poison of vegetation are not the same thing. After the four women took the elixir, the toxins in their bodies were still there, but the activation speed was slightly slower.
Yin Xuuge took advantage of this opportunity and rushed out three or four miles away.
Suddenly a burst of laughter came from the front, and two young men in smart clothes suddenly jumped out of the darkness.
"Yin Xuege? It's you. It's no better. A good thing will happen to us."
Hummingbirds high in the sky made a subtle chirping sound, and the scent of Luo Qingqing remained on the two young men.
Yin Xuuge was stunned for a moment, and then he roared loudly.
"Brothers, the four women in the back are fierce, you go up and I'll call someone!"
The two young men were stunned. Before they could figure out what was going on, Yin Xuuge had already rushed past them.
The four women chased each other one after another and quickly arrived in front of them.
The transparent long sword brought out a cold light and pointed at their fatal vitals.
