"So Master, you chose Hetao, which has just emerged, is in urgent need of our assistance, and has no misunderstandings about us? But Master, is this price too high?" Xian Lianchen sighed and said.
Nalan Bingchan shook her head helplessly: "Master, why don't you understand? It's just that the Holy Bliss Sect is already preparing to take action. Cheng Xianqing has gone crazy. For the sake of power, he has gone completely crazy. Although we and the Holy Bliss Sect no longer have
We have too many connections, but we are from the same family after all. If we don’t find a good way out now, the Qingfeng factions after the catastrophe will never let us go. So now we must find a stable one at all costs.
refuge."
Xian Lianchen was shocked and was about to ask what happened, but when he saw Nalan Bingchan's expression of not wanting to explain at all, she had no choice but to shut her mouth, but she still looked a little confused.
Nalan Bingchan naturally understood what her apprentice was thinking, but she did not explain it. She just tied Lianchen's hair and then said: "Lianchen, tell the master honestly, have you and the Marquis consummated your marriage?"
Already?"
As soon as these words came out, Xian Lianchen's originally pale face suddenly turned red. Looking at the master's half-smiling expression, he finally nodded his head.
"That's not a bad thing. As a woman, you will have to go through this test sooner or later." Nalan Bingchan smiled nonchalantly, patted Lianchen's body, and continued: "In that case, Lianchen, do it yourself
You must remember one thing from now on. You will no longer be the saint of Tianwu Xinghe, and you will have nothing to do with Tianwu Xinghe."
Xian Lianchen's expression was startled, and he said with a panicked expression: "Master, don't you want to have a disciple?"
"Master, how can I let you go? It's just that you are now the Marquis's wife and concubine. If you cannot clearly distinguish your current identity from the interests of our Tianwu Xinghe, it will not only be detrimental to the consolidation of your status in Jingbei Marquis Mansion, but also
It will inevitably damage the trust of the Hetao side in our Tianwu Galaxy." Nalan Bingchan explained in detail: "The six states in the Hetao have now formed their own system. A conservative estimate is that Haotian will be able to compete with the three major cities in a few years.
The aristocratic families are on par with each other. Moreover, Haotian has many talented people. If you can seize the opportunity when the wind blows in China, your achievements will be limitless. You are not Qin Tianyi. It is impossible to have too much influence in the military and political parties of Hetao, and it is impossible to replace you.
The position of God's will in the heart of the Marquis. If you protect our Tianwu Xinghe's interests at all times, it will only make the top management of Hetao be wary of us. If we fight, we will not fight. If we don't fight, we will fight. You will understand in the future."
Xian Lianchen's face was still a little confused. It was obvious that she didn't particularly understand what Nalan Bingchan said. Nalan Bingchan sighed slightly in her heart. Lianchen had always been a simple and naive person, and it was not this kind of intrigue at all.
But this is good, at least she can be involved in as little trouble as possible. With a faint smile, Nalan Bingchan then said with a smile: "Anyway, you always keep one thing in mind. You are just the wife of the Marquis now. Before,
Regardless of whether you are willing or not, you must give up everything. The Marquis is a man of true temperament. What he really needs is a wife who can truly accompany him throughout his life, not this kind of union based on interests. As his wife
Wife, you can show your true nature to your heart's content and act coquettishly in front of him. But if you don't have the influence of God and don't have a very smart mind, you'd better not get involved in military and political matters."
"Yes." Xian Lianchen vaguely understood what the master meant, and was about to continue asking, but found that Nalan Bingchan secretly winked at her, so she changed the subject obediently. At this time, God's will had just left.
Go outside the yard.
In the hall, Haotian and Luo Xiang were sitting opposite each other. Haotian had a smile on his face, but Luo Xiang's face was still gloomy as usual.
"I wonder why sir came here?" Haotian asked with a smile.
There was no emotion on Luo Xiang's face. He just replied calmly: "My lord, this subordinate is here to apologize."
Haotian was slightly startled: "Sir, aren't you joking? Ever since someone raised an army in Dingzhou, you have been giving me advice and advice. What's the crime?"
Luo Xiang's voice was as gloomy as ever: "That's because my subordinate has concealed many things from my lord."
Haotian laughed and said nonchalantly: "Everyone has their own secrets, so why should you, sir, feel guilty about it?"
"But the things that my subordinates have concealed are not only numerous in number but also important in nature. If the master is kept in the dark, some people will inevitably say that my subordinates have ulterior motives."
Haotian thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle, can you listen to my nephew's heartfelt words?"
"My lord, please speak." Since entering Dingzhou, Haotian rarely used such a title. As soon as these words came out, the two of them suddenly felt that the distance between them had become much closer.
Haotian stood up, turned his back to Luo Xiang and said: "My father told his nephew before his death that our Qingfeng Wuhua Tianbao has many talented people, just like the Grand Master, the Imperial Master and Tie Shangshu at that time. These three are the pillars of the country.
, if one person is used, the world will be safe. But if three people are used together, the breeze will be restored. It's just that the late emperor was stupid and favored sycophants. Although he had good talents, he abandoned them and the country's power declined like this. For the three
My father greatly admires the senator's bravery, loyalty, talent and wisdom. However, what my father values most is not the three of them, but the other two. Does my uncle know who these two are?"
Luo Xiang's heart skipped a beat, but he still said calmly: "My lord, please speak."
"Uncle Luo, my nephew has already said this, why are you playing riddles with your nephew?" Haotian smiled: "My father once said that the two people he trusts and admires the most in his life are you and
Uncle Chu. Although many people thought that my uncle had been executed by Lingchi, my father knew the details very well. At the beginning, my nephew was not sure, but when you said Uncle Chu, my nephew
I have already guessed your uncle's identity. However, since the uncle did not want to make it clear, the nephew was happy and confused. So from now on, the nephew has never doubted the two uncles. God also knows this matter, otherwise
God’s will is shrewd, does uncle think he can hide it?”
Luo Xiang was silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "We can rest in peace now that we are married to Qin Shang. Xiaotian, Xiangcheng and I are very pleased to see that you and Tianyi are so promising. It's a pity."
Yes, both of us have no successors."
Haotian smiled slightly: "What are you talking about, uncle? The two uncles and my father are like brothers. Although Haotian is not very sensible, he will definitely treat each other as his father. How can he say that he has no descendants?"
A smile appeared on Luo Xiang's face, and he looked into Haotian's deep eyes before saying, "My lord, is there anything else you want to ask your subordinates about today?"
"Uncle, there is no need to call him this when there is no one around." Haotian said with a smile, but there was a sadness in his eyes: "Uncle, I do have a question that I want my uncle to answer for me."
"You can tell me, as long as I can answer it." Luo Xiang said with narrowed eyes.
"I want to know how my mother died." Haotian said sadly: "I have never seen my mother. She has left since I was born. In the past twenty years, my father has worked hard to take care of me and my mother.
I was raised by God. In the past twenty years, I often think of my mother. However, every time I ask about my father, my father is silent. When my mother left, she didn’t even leave a portrait.
.As a son of a human being, it is already a great tragedy to be unable to fulfill his filial piety to his parents. But I don’t even have room to remember him, which can’t but be said to be a travesty. I was not sensible before, so I always believed that my father said that my mother had a difficult childbirth.
And died. Therefore, I always feel very guilty. If it were not for my birth, my mother might not have died. But this time when I arrived in Tiandu Shengjing and experienced so many things, I suddenly thought of a question. Mother
She is a direct descendant of the Shouwang clan. Although her martial arts attainments are not as good as those of her uncle, she should be on par with the top ten masters in China. Why did she die in childbirth? And when she left, she didn't even leave any portraits behind.
?”
Luo Xiang seemed to have known that Haotian would ask this question, but he couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness on his face. Looking at Haotian's excited face, Luo Xiang just sighed and said: "Qin Shang
She did die in childbirth, but I can’t tell you the details yet. It’s not the time yet.”
"Why not?" Haotian's eyes widened: "Uncle, if it was before, I could understand. Because I didn't have that strength at that time, but now, I feel that as a son of man, I should have the right to know the truth.
.”
Luo Xiang shook his head: "Now is really not the time. This is the consensus of Xiangcheng and I. When the time comes, we will definitely tell you the truth. We have been hiding it for twenty years, and it is not less than a year or two."
"
Haotian looked at Luo Xiang's unwavering face coldly, and after a long time he said: "Although I have never seen my mother, and I don't know what my mother looks like, I have absolute love for my mother.
He will not be inferior to anyone. My mother's death is definitely not that simple. If one day I can find out the truth, even if I am the King of Heaven, I will exterminate his clan!"
Luo Xiang didn't speak, but his eyes were filled with the same anger as Haotian. When Chu Xiangcheng, who had just walked out of the hall, heard Haotian's words, he paused and his eyes were full of anger.
