Xia Huang and the other three followed Liu Liangnian, walking through the courtyard of the Liu Mansion, and soon arrived at the lobby of the Liu Mansion.

There were several figures waiting for them in the lobby.

The person who ranks first among them is dressed luxuriously and wears an eagle-shaped headband. Although his face is slightly older, he has long black hair that is very inconsistent with his old face. His hair is hung casually, and his face has a gloomy expression.

There is hidden evil energy inside, and he seems to be in a very bad mood. Needless to say, you know that this is the head of the Liu family, one of the six generals of Guanri Tiancheng, Yueling Tianjiang Liu Qi!

Seeing Xia Huang and the others walking in, Liu Qi frowned, tapped the armrest with his right hand, and a huge force of energy suddenly shot out! He rushed towards Xia Huang and the others!

Seeing this, Chi Lian immediately took a step forward, his breath reverberated, and he sent out the same wave of energy, which neutralized Liu Qi's energy.

"Is this the way your Liu family treats guests?" Xia Huang said indifferently.

"Guests of the Liu family do not include those who hide their heads and show their tails!" Liu Qi's voice was like a bell, showing no signs of aging.

"These two are my friends. It is the custom in their hometown to cover their faces. If you don't like it, God General, we can leave now."

Xia Huang's attitude has been very tough from the beginning. Zhu Chongwu taught him this before coming here. Anyway, their purpose of coming here is not to curry favor with the Liu family. It doesn't matter if they have a tougher attitude. If they really arouse the Liu family

They were not afraid at all of the anger and conflicts.

Anyway, their ultimate goal is to replace the Liu family. It doesn't make much difference to them if the conflict happens sooner or later.

"Presumptuous!" Before Liu Qi could speak, a man sitting on his left stood up angrily from his chair and yelled at Xia Huang, "Do you know who you are talking to?! Why don't you kneel down and apologize?

!”

"May I ask your Excellency..." Xia Huang looked at the man who spoke with confusion on his face.

"Liu's eldest son——Liu Liangfeng!" When Liu Liangfeng said the words "eldest son", there was a bit of pride in his eyes.

Indeed, if according to the hereditary rules of the family, if Liu Qi relinquishes the title and power of "Yueling Tianjiang" in the future, then as the eldest son of Liu, he will be the next "Yueling Tianjiang". For these children of the family

In other words, the title of eldest son is indeed a source of pride.

"The eldest son? Hehe..." Zhu Chongwu, who was standing on the right side of Xia Huang, smiled maliciously, "He is also the son of General Yue Ling. As the eldest son, you have the temperament and demeanor to bring us in.

The fourth son is more than a star. Moreover, before General Yue Ling has spoken, you dare to ask us to kneel down. Could it be that you are the one who is in charge of the Liu family?"

Zhu Chongwu's words were extremely insidious. With these simple words, he tried to provoke a conflict between Liu Liangfeng, Liu Liangnian, and Liu Qi. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Chongwu's words, Liu Liangnian, who brought Xia Huang and the others in, had a flash of pride in his eyes, and his eyes towards Xia Huang and the others became more kind.

Liu Liangfeng was so angry at Zhu Chongwu's words that his whole face turned the color of pig's liver, but he was worried that his "exceeding the rules" just now had offended his father Liu Qi. While furious, he kept observing Liu Qi with his peripheral vision.

Changes in expression.

Liu Qi has been in a high position for a long time, but when he heard Zhu Chongwu's "provocation", his expression did not even change. I don't know if he saw through Zhu Chongwu's intention, or if he hid his anger and dissatisfaction well enough.

"Feng'er, sit down." Liu Qi raised his hand slightly, and although his tone was gentle, there was an irresistible majesty in his voice, "Your Excellency, Master of Jinghong Sword, since this is the custom in my friend's hometown, then Liu will no longer

I’m in a dilemma. I don’t know what your Excellency, the master of the Jinghong Sword, has to do with your visit to our Liu Mansion today.”

"I don't dare to take advice, but I just want to ask for something." Xia Huang saw that Liu Qi's attitude was quite polite, so he also lowered his posture a little.

"Oh?" Liu Qi didn't expect Xia Huang to come here with a request. He was surprised and more keenly aware of the interest, "I wonder what the Master of Jinghong Sword wants to get from Liu?"

"I wish to meet with the city lord, and hope that General Yue Ling can introduce me to you." Xia Huang said and made a gesture to Zhu Chongwu.

Zhu Chongwu immediately took out a brocade box: "This is the meeting gift given to General Yue Ling by the three of us. It is a small gift and shabby. Please don't dislike it."

"Bring it up." General Yue Ling looked stern, calling Zhu Chongwu like his own servant.

However, Zhu Chongwu remained motionless as if his legs were nailed to the ground.

When Liu Liangfeng saw this, he wanted to stand up and scold him again, but thinking of what had just happened, his action of getting up and scolding immediately changed to getting up to receive the gift, wanting to personally present the gift from Zhu Chongwu to his father Liu Qi. Unexpectedly,

As soon as he got up, Liu Liangnian beside him approached the water tower first, took the brocade box from Zhu Chongwu, and presented it to Liu Qi.

At this time, Liu Liangfeng's face became even more ugly. However, in front of his father, he did not dare to be presumptuous and could only glare at Liu Liangnian hatefully.

Yue Lingtian general Liu Qi took the brocade box, opened it, and quickly closed it: "If you want to see the city lord, of course you can, but it is not easy. Even if I am one of the six heavenly generals, it will take a certain amount of time to do so.

Arrangements. During this period, the three of us can stay temporarily at my Liu family. In Nian'er, I will take my father to take care of the three guests."

General Yue Ling's attitude was not beyond the expectations of Xia Huang and the others.

The gift presented by Zhu Chongwu was one of the most precious treasures he brought out from the imperial court of Shenzhao, named "Evergreen Pearl".

This evergreen bead has no benefit to the monk's cultivation. It only has a very useless effect - if worn for a long time, the evergreen bead can keep the wearer's body functions in a relatively youthful state.

This effect is useless to ordinary monks. For Liu Qi, the general of Yue Ling who is reluctant to let go of his power and is getting older day by day, Changchun Pearl can undoubtedly greatly delay his aging, which is what he dreams of.

Things!

In fact, Liu Qi has always sent people to look for people who have Evergreen beads and are willing to pay a lot of money to buy them. However, this wonderful method of making beads has long been lost. Today, there are less than a hundred Evergreen beads left in the entire Shenzhao Continent.

Pearl, even if he wanted to look for it, it would not be that easy to find.

Now, Xia Huang and the others took the initiative to offer an "Eternal Spring Bead", and he simply couldn't refuse!

"Yes!" Liu Liangnian happily accepted his father's order, turned to Xia Huang and the others and said, "Three guests, please come with me. I will take you to the guest room."

Xia Huang and the others had no intention of staying any longer. They politely excused themselves to Liu Qi and followed Liu Liangnian to the guest room.

…

The wealth and nobility of a large family like the Liu family are not only displayed in their courtyards and lobbies, but also in every detail of their home.

The guest room Liu Liangnian arranged for Xia Huang and the others was not much different from Zhu Chongwu's original palace in terms of its large area and luxurious furnishings.

As soon as the three of them closed the door, Zhu Chongwu personally set up several soundproofing barriers to prevent the sounds in the room from being heard by outsiders.

"Liu Qizhi is really not easy to deal with." Zhu Chongwu directly expressed his first impression of Liu Qi, "He was obviously in a state of extreme anger during this period, but he could still remain calm when talking to us.

Some are calm. Even if we deliberately provoke him, he doesn't show any emotion."

"Everything I say and do today is in accordance with your arrangements. What is our next plan?" Xia Huang asked.

"No need to make any plans." Zhu Chongwu smiled.

"What's the meaning?"

"Because someone will come to us soon! Didn't you see it in the lobby of the Liu family? These sons of Liu Qi are actually divided into two factions, one is headed by the eldest son Liu Liangfeng, and the other is

One group is headed by the fourth son Liu Liangnian. Just now, the widow deliberately spoke out in the lobby, and sure enough, the two have already begun an overt and covert fight over inheritance rights. Judging from the current situation, the eldest son Liu

Liangfeng's power is in the upper hand, but we just offended him and deliberately showed our appreciation for the fourth son Liu Liangnian. It can be said that Liu Liangfeng has regarded us as enemies, and Liu Liangnian will regard us as his turning defeat into victory.

An opportunity! This is what we can take advantage of! As long as we can cause chaos within the Liu family, we can create an opportunity to severely damage the Liu family's power and replace it."

"So, without our planning, Liu Liangnian would come to us and propose cooperation?" Xia Huang understood what Zhu Chongwu meant.

"Exactly."

"really……"

"Sure enough?" This time it was Zhu Chongwu's turn to be confused.

"Before I came to the Southern Cross Forest, Senior Xiao Tianqing told me that Guanri Tiancheng was the most unsuitable place for me. Because this place is just like another Eastern Imperial City, except that the people who go in and out of the city are only powerful monks.

Now that I'm here, everything is exactly as Senior Xiao Tianqing said. What happened here is very similar to the East Imperial City... Back then, I got involved in the internal affairs of the Sikong family because of their inheritance dispute..."

"The Sikong family..." Zhu Chongwu's voice became a little disappointed and lonely when he mentioned the matter of the Shenzhao Empire, "Before I left the East Imperial City, signs of Jiuzhang Zui's seizure of power had appeared. These four princes canonized by our Shenzhao Empire,

They obviously got the news, but they all chose to stand still. In the end, I couldn't wait for any of them to follow me in the palace. In the end, the only one who followed me was Chi Lian!"

"Your Majesty..." Chi Lian came closer, as if he wanted to comfort the lost Zhu Chongwu. But he was just a martial artist, and he was really not good at comforting people. He walked over, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Chongwu waved his hand, indicating that Chi Lian did not need to worry about him.
