Lin Xitang's calm face finally showed an obvious expression of surprise, "Queen Li? How can she have such qualifications?"
The king of heaven is the person who stands at the pinnacle of the empire. Even the emperor himself cannot have much restraint on them, let alone the people in the harem who only have honor but no power.
However, Lin Xitang's thinking was so quick. After thinking about it, he thought of several things that had happened recently, and then figured out the cause and effect.
Zhang Boqian's first wife died young and left no children. He spent his whole life in the army. So far, he only has one concubine, and his talents are not outstanding. He himself is quite indifferent to his children, and Zhang Clan is also mentally prepared. It is very likely that he will come from the lineage of Duke Dan.
It is also a family practice to choose a successor from among the descendants and nephews. However, the originally ordinary family heir became more popular and controversial after Zhang Boqian was crowned king.
And the Li family also saw this point clearly. At the critical moment when the imperial family was wrestling with the powerful family, they actually started to divide the first clan and win over the new king. Their ambition was not small, and their skill was not small.
.If the descendants can form an alliance with the new king, and with their management over the years, it is really possible to gain maximum benefits from this imperial storm.
At this point, things are very clear. If you want to form an alliance with the King of Heaven, a disintegrated Song Dynasty may not have enough weight. Then another petition is his political opponent, so there was the impeachment at the court meeting.
Perhaps there was more to it than that. Lin Xitang lowered his eyes and played with the memorials in his hand. Of course he could tell that Zhang Boqian was not referring to a mere Empress Li family, but to the supreme being. They were both members of the imperial party, and in front of him
Was this situation just a matter of Empress Li's selfish desire to seize power from him, or did the emperor want to change a powerful minister after changing the structure of the court?
Thinking of this, Lin Xitang looked at Zhang Boqian's face and chuckled, "This is... a good move by the Li family."
A sharp look suddenly flashed in Zhang Boqian's eyes.
Lin Xitang only said: "I originally thought that the Song clan was just cleaning up their own internal affairs. It turns out that it was also the letter of surrender given to you by the Li family."
"Lin Xitang, in this bloody battle with the Iron Curtain, I don't want to care what kind of chess you are playing. But even if you calculate all the secrets, you can't calculate the hearts of the people. Be careful that you become a mantis chasing cicadas, or the rabbit is not dead yet.
When it's done, it's cooked."
"There are always winners and losers in chess, and the secrets deduced are just the closest to reality among the many changes. Who can decide the outcome at the beginning? If something really happens to me..." At this point, Lin Xitang smiled casually.
, raised his head and looked at Zhang Boqian, "You and I have been blessed for many years, but can we leave it to my wife and children?"
Plop! It was as if the whole world jumped. There seemed to be something invisible in the air that suddenly froze and settled, and the room was filled with chills.
Zhang Boqian's voice became extremely cold, bringing out a murderous aura, "If you die, I will kill the entire Lin family with my own hands."
"That's fine. If they enjoy glory because of me, they will naturally bear the consequences of my defeat." Lin Xitang's expression was as calm as ever.
This is the gap between ordinary aristocratic families and powerful families. The prosperity of the Lin family is only due to Lin Xitang. There are not enough outstanding talents among his descendants and nephews to inherit his power. The Lin family can only be promoted from uncle to noble in one generation, and they are close friends by marriage.
The weight is not heavy enough. Once Lin Xitang is gone, the entire family will immediately decline.
The high-ranking families have thousands of years of inheritance, profound heritage, and luxuriant main branches. Even if the entire branch is uprooted, the root of the main trunk will not be damaged. Even if the main trunk is cut off, the collateral branches that are deeply rooted in the soil will still regenerate at the right time.
Grow into a towering tree.
Zhang Boqian's eyes were deep, and he suddenly strode away without looking back. When he turned around with a flutter of sleeves, thunder suddenly broke out in the clear sky outside, and the sound shook hundreds of miles!
This is when the king of heaven is angry, and the heaven and earth reverberate.
Lin Xitang stood quietly for a moment, then walked to the desk and found that there was an extra stone on it, about the size of two fists, oval, flat from top to bottom. In addition to stone patterns, the surface also had some pits, as if it had been washed away by irregular water flow over the years.
He focused his eyes, slowly sat down at the table, looked at the stone for a while, and then put his hand on it.
Those stone patterns suddenly flickered, turning into countless beautiful lines. There was a soft click, and the stone was opened from the side. It turned out to be a box with an extremely clever design. There was a soft white light inside, sparkling, like water mist, emitting
A very weak but unmistakable aura of void force.
A green lotus in the center seems to have just woken up from a deep sleep, stretched its petals, and is slowly blooming.
Lotus grows on the sea.
This is a plant unique to the Maelstrom. According to the records of the dark race, it has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and concentrating the soul. It is said that when the flower blooms, it can repair the damaged souls of the surrounding creatures. For the human race, although the theory of soul is too vague, it can
It is an extremely rare main material, used to make top-grade potions that assist in attacking warriors, and is also an indispensable component of repair medicines for warriors and above.
Such a beautiful and precious plant grows in the dangerous depths of nature that even the strong dare not enter lightly. It only takes a moment for the flowers to bloom and the seeds to fall, and it completes its entire life and death.
Therefore, the sea lotus collected by people at present are petals and lotus seeds that have withered and solidified into jade. Even if someone is lucky enough to witness the moment of blooming, there is no way to bring it out.
Only Zhang Boqian's special ability to cross the continent with a reed can bring back the living sea lotus.
Several wisps of white smoke rose from the lotus petals, wrapped around Lin Xitang's fingers, and spread along the skin and blood vessels. A faint and fragrant fragrance hit his nostrils, and the surrounding force seemed to become active at the same time. The boundaries between darkness and dawn were blurred in a trance, and the world became
Harmonious.
At this time, the green lotus bloomed to its limit, and then began to fade and become transparent, freezing at its most beautiful moment inch by inch.
Lin Xitang leaned back on the chair and put his hand on his eyes, covering all his expressions.
In fact, Zhang Boqian was wrong when he said something. Heaven has its own rules, and the only choice is to follow the trend and go against it. Therefore, the only thing that can be plotted in this world is the human heart.
In another small and inconspicuous corner of the Evernight Continent, an aerostat was bumping at high altitude, heading west.
Long-distance flights are very boring, and Black Moon quickly searched every corner of the airship, and finally had no choice but to stand next to Qianye and accompany him in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but Qianye finally said: "Before I go to Heiliu, I may have to fight a battle first. You wait for me outside."
"War? With whom?" When it comes to war, Black Moon is like a cat whose eyes light up when it sees a small fish.
Qianye smiled and said: "That battle is not easy to fight. The opponent is the private army of the Nangong family."
"The Nangong family? Are they the ones who intercepted you?"
"To be precise, they are the people behind those guys, a high-ranking family from the Qin Empire."
"Sounds very powerful." Heiyue's eyes flashed.
“It’s already very powerful.”
"The advance payment is five hundred, and if you really die in battle, you will need to add another five hundred. In addition, there will be two hundred and one ninth-level warriors, one hundred and one eighth-level warriors, and so on, and they will be halved in turn. If you can, let's make a deal."
Yue opened her mouth. It was obvious that she was extremely familiar with this rhetoric. She had said it countless times. "It's an imperial gold coin!"
"Can."
Qianye agreed so simply, which surprised Heiyue. He was stunned for a while and then said: "You agree now?"
"why not?"
"You don't want to bargain or anything? Or don't you think I'm bragging?"
It seemed that Heiyue was very prepared to bargain, but everything came to nothing, so her little face almost wrinkled up, feeling indescribably awkward.
"The price is very reasonable. Wait, you control the aerostat while I go out for a moment. There are guests here."
After that, Qianye picked up Hei Yue, put it in front of the console, and left the control room. Through the porthole, he could see an aerospace boat flying quickly in the distance, with lights flashing on it and communications being sent out continuously.
Signal.
Heiyue groaned, quickly grabbed the communication manual next to the console, and quickly flipped to the location in his mind. Only then did he understand the meaning of the light signal on the opposite side: landing, undergoing inspection.
The aerostat in the distance was not big, but its speed was much faster than their old antique ship. The clan emblem on the boat was extremely eye-catching. Black Moon took out a piece of paper full of oil stains from his arms, with dozens of clan emblems drawn on it.
The logo is marked with peculiar Gaohu characters below.
"Nangong Family?" Heiyue whispered, her dark eyes not nervous at all, but full of excitement.
At this moment, Qianye's figure suddenly flashed across the porthole. Behind him was a huge sniper rifle, climbing up from the outer wall to the top of the airship.
Seeing this scene, Heiyue's thoughts couldn't help but stagnated for a moment. Although she herself had climbed to the top of the airship, she only went up to have a look. The airship was currently flying at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, with biting cold and strong wind.
She was so anxious. Even if she had mechanical assistance, she was almost blown down by the wind. What did Qianye want to do, was she to shoot from the top of the aerospace craft?
Even as a Gaohu man, Hei Yue felt that Qianye's thoughts at this moment were really crazy.
The aerostat opposite was obviously of military type. It saw no response from the signal light and could no longer hold back. The muzzle flashes on both sides flashed, and a series of bullets were fired at it. However, they were far apart, and both sides were shaking violently in the high-altitude strong wind. The bullets
It's a thousand miles off track.
Black Moon cursed, took out a heavy machine gun from the rear cabin, set it up directly through the porthole, and fired a barrage of fire towards the opposite side. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the floor of the cabin, motionless, and the powerful recoil of the heavy machine gun was also suppressed by the mechanical force.
Offset, the muzzle of the gun was firmly locked on the aerostat on the opposite side.
The little girl's shooting skills were obviously much better than those of her opponent. From a distance of a thousand meters, a box of bullets hit at least a dozen times, while other bullets also missed her. However, sparks continued to splash on the surface of the aerostat, and the bullets
They were all bounced off the armor plates, and almost none of them could penetrate.
Although there is only a small military patrol boat on the opposite side, it is also protected by armor, and heavy machine guns can't do anything about it.
At this moment, there was a roar from the top of Heiyue's head, and the entire aerospace craft was shaken. A line of fire stretched across the night sky and hit the aerospace craft on the opposite side. A small group of dazzling fire light lit up, and then a large piece of fire was seen.
The propeller was blown away. The patrol boat immediately began to spin.
Black Moon suddenly opened her mouth wide and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
