"Old Prince, do you think it's time to make a decision? Otherwise, I'm afraid the bottom will be unstable." said an old servant in yellow standing beside Mr. Ji.
This person's surname is Liu Mingwen Yan, and he is a loyal servant of Prince Ji.
Liu Wenyan saw that Prince Ji was sitting on the throne without any expression, so he couldn't help but take a step forward and whispered a reminder.
Liu Wenyan sold himself into the palace since he was a child and followed the old prince. He has been working for the palace for fifty or sixty years. Now he is the chief steward of Prince Ji's palace. He can be called the most trusted servant of the old prince.
.
As a servant, he should never have taken the initiative to speak like this without his master's instructions.
But now that the palace is facing a huge crisis, he has to overcome it. It is not a thing for this large group of people from the world to wait in the lobby of the palace in the middle of the night, regardless of the severe cold, waiting for the old prince's orders.
These local gangs have been loyal to Prince Ji's Mansion for hundreds of years, and they cannot let these people feel cold.
The old prince may not care whether they are loyal or not, but as a servant, he must consider his master.
Moreover, there must be a solution to this matter, whether it is to directly go to war with the Qiankun Alliance, or to think of a retreat in advance, all of which must be planned as early as possible.
Liu Wenyan's words seemed to wake Prince Ji out of his deep thoughts.
Prince Ji was stunned and asked, "Is Prince Min back?"
Liu Wenyan said quickly: "Back to the old prince, the young prince is on his way to the Mantra Temple. He only went out for half a cup of tea and hasn't come back so soon. I guess he will have to wait for a meal before he can come back."
"When Prince Min comes back, ask him to come to me in the study as soon as possible." Prince Ji sat in the lobby for a long time. He exhausted all his energy and looked a little tired. After saying that, he waved his hand without looking at the gang leaders below the lobby.
He left the meeting hall with his hands behind his back and went to the study room of the palace to rest.
The gang leaders and elders in the lobby looked at each other, wondering what the old prince was doing. There are only two or three hours left before the deadline for the Dawn Universe Alliance. What are the old prince waiting for now?
After the meal, a young man of only 16 years old and dressed in fine clothes rode a handsome black-maned horse to the outside of Prince Ji's Mansion. He took off his snow-covered bamboo hat and strode into the Prince's Mansion.
Under the guidance of the old housekeeper Liu Wenyan, he hurried to the study room of the mansion.
Seeing Prince Ji, the young man immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Grandpa!"
When Prince Ji saw that he was the only one back, his face suddenly darkened and he asked: "Where is your father? Why hasn't he come back from the True Word Temple?"
The young man shrank his head and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, my father refuses to come back! He said that he wants to host the Immortal Fighting Conference. He must burn incense and bathe in the Mantra Monastery for three days to rest in peace and host this grand event."
"Min'er, didn't you tell him that this is a critical moment for the survival of the Ji family?" Prince Ji said slightly angrily.
The young man said with a bitter face: "It's useless to say it! Dad said that these trivial battles in the rivers and lakes are not worth his distraction at all. He doesn't want to pay attention to it, and he doesn't care about the affairs in Prince Ji's house. He told me not to look for him again. Dad
He said that even if Prince Ji's palace was occupied, he would not care. He also said that as long as he achieves great success in the Immortal Way of the Heart, the Ji family will be glorious again sooner or later. He also advised his grandson to stay in the Taoist Temple and practice the Immortal Way of the Heart with him.
.”
When Prince Ji heard this, he immediately trembled with anger. He slapped the desk and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense. Are the affairs of the palace a trivial matter? This local gang in Dezhou City is the last resort for my Ji family to control.
Without the power of Dezhou City, our Ji family will no longer have a piece of family territory. The martial arts competition he has been hosting has been going on for decades, but it has not had any effect on his cultivation. Could it be that that martial arts competition can
Is it possible to bring our Ji family back to life? Now at the critical moment of my Ji family's life and death, we are the only three monks left in the Ji family. Your father is the only middle-level monk in the Zhenqi stage in our family. He doesn't care about the family's crisis and is still here.
Obsessed with his magical state of mind!"
The young man was not too repelled by the Immortal Way of the Mind, and couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, the Immortal Way of the Heart was also passed down by our ancestors of the Ji family. It is actually right for him to practice this Immortal Way of the Mind."
"Shut up, what do you know!" Prince Ji didn't know why, but he was extremely disgusted with the Immortal Way of Mind. When he heard the young man's defense of the Immortal Way of Mind, he suddenly became furious and cut off the young man's words.
Liu Wenyan, the chief steward of Ji Mansion, was waiting at the door of the study. When he heard the old prince's sudden anger, he couldn't help but sigh.
He knew why the old prince hated this fairyland of mind so much.
When the old prince was still a young monk in his twenties and thirties, he was always there to serve him. At that time, the old prince was even more obsessed with this magical way of mind than the prince who is now practicing in the Mantra Temple.
Dezhou City's prestigious Mental Realm Immortal Dao Fighting Convention would not be as grand as it is today if it were not for the promotion of the old prince and his father and son behind the scenes.
At the beginning, the old prince was also full of ambitions. He wanted to use this state of mind to revive the Ji family, so he neglected the cultivation of the physical body and spirit.
As a result, when I got older and still accomplished nothing, I suddenly realized that I regretted it greatly.
It is a pity that at this time, he has missed the best cultivation period in his youth, and the old prince has only reached the second level of Zhenqi stage.
It is precisely for this reason that the old prince hates this Immortal Way of Mind very much. He thinks that this Immortal Way of Mind has derailed his cultivation path. From the initial extreme obsession, he turned to extreme disgust.
In the study, the young man was startled and did not dare to say anything. Grandpa had a bad temper and got angry easily, but he did not dare to make him angry.
Prince Ji took a few quick breaths, his blood was boiling and his face was red. He sat on the sandalwood chair and paused for a long time before saying: "Min'er, I am a monk in Dongyang Cultivation World in Dongyang Continent. I have created the path of Cultivation since
Since then, this immortal path to immortality has been extremely difficult. Only by accumulating vitality over the sun and the moon can one achieve some success. Is there any quick fix in this world? If this spiritual path to the state of mind is really effective, then why didn’t the ancestors establish it as the right path?
Instead, you focus on the cultivation of the physical body and the soul? Your father wants to rely on that illusory state of mind to quickly improve his strength, which is a wrong path."
Prince Ji's anger did not last long. He rebuked his son for being obsessed with immortality. He was not reprimanding his own obsession back then. He raised his head and sighed.
It's pity that the noble Ji family, the bloodline left by the ancient monks has been reduced to today's situation. However, no matter what, the bloodline inheritance of his Ji family must be preserved.
"Min'er, take your mother, brothers, sisters, and other direct relatives out of the city to avoid trouble. With a bad old man like me holding up Dezhou City, the sky won't fall!" Prince Ji said to Prince Min.
The young man hurriedly said: "Grandpa, there are four loose cultivators in the Qiankun Alliance. You are left alone, you are not their opponent!"
Prince Ji looked at his grandson and said emphatically: "My grandfather is nearing his end of life and is already dying. Death is not a pity. If your father could come back, he might still be able to support the family business, but... alas! Now!
Grandpa stays. With the arrangements in the palace, it can be delayed for a while. You can leave now. It’s too late. After some time, the Qiankun Alliance will control the local gangs in Dezhou City, and it will be difficult for you to leave. Leave.
After Dezhou City, find a small county town and settle down the clan members. Then you go to Zhuji City, become a casual cultivator, stay anonymous, and concentrate on practicing. The ancestors of our Ji family also built a huge family business from casual cultivators.
It’s not a big deal, the worst it can do is for our Ji family to start over from scratch.”
There was an indescribable loneliness in the words of Mr. Ji. He also understood in his heart that after the decline of the family, it was not easy to start over from scratch! Maybe that day, the inheritance of the incense of his Ji family would be cut off. But even so, he would have to work hard
Preserve the only remaining incense.
"Grandpa, take care of yourself." The young man is a bit cowardly, but he is definitely not pedantic.
The matter was urgent, and if the family was to be preserved, someone had to sacrifice. With a dejected look on his face, he kowtowed a few times to Prince Ji, turned around and hurried out of the study, summoning the direct relatives of the Ji family to prepare to evacuate Dezhou City.
Go out to avoid trouble.
An hour later, Prince Ji arranged for the transfer of clan members and slowly returned to the meeting hall of the palace to summon the top leaders of the gangs.
At this time, his face had regained its glow, and the withered complexion before could not be seen at all.
The gang bosses suddenly became energetic.
"As long as I am alive, I will never allow the Qiankun Alliance to run rampant in Dezhou City." Prince Ji glanced at the high-level gang leaders in the lobby and said in a cold tone.
Mr. Ji ordered: "The Green Snake Gang, the leader of the king, you will set up spy checkpoints inside and outside Dezhou City to report every move of the Qiankun Alliance to me at any time."
"Yes, I respect the old prince's order!" Headmaster Wang hurriedly bowed and accepted the order.
Prince Ji ordered: "Shenkong Gang, Leader Yang, you lead people to place soldiers and traps at the strategic points of the various gangs in the city. This will make the Qiankun Alliance unclear about the movements of the local gangs' soldiers and horses, and attract them to disperse their troops.
.”
"Yes, I respect the old prince's order!" Head Yang quickly bowed and accepted the order.
"Dragon Phoenix Gang, Iron Sword Society, Sword Blood Hall, Hundred Swords Alliance, you gangs are all the most powerful gangs in Dezhou City. You have gathered all the first-class and above masters to prepare for a counterattack against the Qiankun Alliance's stronghold in the city.
They drove out of Dezhou City!" Lord Ji said after looking at everyone.
"Yes, I respect the old prince's orders!" everyone stood up and said loudly.
"Old Liu, you send a few people to the Dezhou government office and the Dezhou Guards Station to take care of things. If necessary, you can use the power of the government officials and officers and soldiers to interfere with the actions of destroying the Qiankun Alliance. With the help of our Prince Ji's Mansion and the government offices and guards,
Friendship, they should be able to help with this little task." Prince Ji said.
"Yes, old prince." Liu Wenyan nodded quickly.
The local gang bosses in Texas couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Mr. Ji had regained his former vigor and was making arrangements in an orderly manner.
It seems that the old prince is still going strong and his majesty is still the same. As long as they have this pillar of support, they will have peace of mind.
