Chapter 1157: Imperial City Crisis, Lin Family's Conspiracy (1)
It's early spring.
The annual spring celebrations of the Great Xia Empire are in full swing.
As per usual.
Every year in early spring, in order to welcome the new year and bid farewell to the old, the people of Daxia will decorate their homes with lights and colors to celebrate the arrival of the New Year with great fanfare.
Imperial City and Tiger Capital.
The dark metal city wall is also covered with various bright red lanterns.
The whole city is filled with festive colors.
This atmosphere has even spread to the "Xuanyuan Palace" located on the dome.
Inside the magnificent palace.
The maids in red robes are decorating the furnishings in the palace corridors.
All day long.
Everyone has been busy for a whole year, and even in the palace with strict rules and regulations, there is a rare touch of human touch.
Inside a side hall of a palace.
Hu Kui, who was wearing a formal dress, was leading many of his entourages to sit cross-legged on the guest seats.
A small beard grew on his chin. Facing the maid who came forward to change the tea for him, Hu Kui just nodded lightly and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
After a whole year of practice.
The young city lord in front of him has long been reborn, and he no longer has the original impulsiveness and irritability.
What replaced him was a rare calmness and restraint.
"How long have you been waiting for this?"
He was playing with the porcelain cup on the table in front of him boredly.
Zhuge Gangtang held his chin and muttered impatiently: "If I had known earlier, we shouldn't have come to Hudu. It must be very lively in Longdu at this time. There are discounts in the shopping malls during the day, and there are also discounts at night.
There is a garden and temple fair held in the commercial street, why do you come here to feel cowardly..."
"Steel, shut up."
He glanced hard at the other person.
Hu Kui took out a cigarette, pondered for a moment and put it back on the table. He scolded in a deep voice: "Don't even look where this is. You can eat random things, but you can't talk nonsense."
Hear the words.
Quickly sticking out his tongue, Zhuge Gang stopped his rants with a sudden realization. He didn't forget to look around at the maids coming and going, for fear that there might be ears through the wall.
"It's all my fault."
The other side.
An Ruxuan, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, felt sad, lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "It's because of me that everyone is in a dilemma..."
In the main hall.
Everyone was silent for a while, and occasionally there were faint sighs.
half a year ago.
Zhao Tianyi and others returned to Longdu, but they brought back the news of Xue Yun's death overseas.
The entire Longdu War Preparedness Department was filled with grief and anger.
Xue Yun has always been regarded by everyone as the successor of Beigong Mu, the God of War in Dragon City.
The meaning of his existence is like a sharp sword.
Always warning those individuals and forces who want to harm Longdu—Longdu still has masters in charge!
It can start from that day.
The only sword that could inherit Bei Gong Mu's will was unexpectedly broken.
Everyone is immersed in grief.
Everyone set up a majestic tomb for Xue Yun on the outskirts of Longdu, which happened to be next to Beigong Mu's grave.
An Ruxuan was so distraught that she didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights, and almost died.
Fortunately, Hu Kui stood up at this time, comforting everyone and boosting everyone's morale.
This prevented the situation from getting further out of control and worsening.
However, the news of Xue Yun's death still brought about a series of chain reactions.
Almost expected.
The first to attack were indeed the Imperial City forces who had been defeated in embarrassment by Xue Yun.
However, this time the person causing trouble was not the original internal manager Li Kuixing.
Instead, it was the famous and powerful family in the imperial city—the Lin family of Hudu!
Hudu Lin family!
It is an ancient family that has almost as long a history as the Great Xia Empire.
The descendants of the clan have been loyal to the Xuanyuan royal family for generations and are the greatest contributors to the founding of the Great Xia Empire for hundreds of years.
The Lin family is full of masters.
Among the younger generation, headed by Lin Chen, he is the most amazingly talented.
It's a pity.
In order to escort Prince Gong to Longdu, Lin Chen was suppressed by Xue Yun several times, and in the end he was defeated miserably at the hands of Longdu Divine Martial Body.
This has become a shame that the Lin family can never erase.
Lin Chen, who had always been proud of himself, was even more depressed because of this and suffered a huge mental blow.
Xue Yun's unexpected death instantly gave the behemoth Lin family a chance to avenge their past humiliation.
Under the protection and instruction of the royal family of the Great Xia Empire.
They took a different approach and took a different approach and directly targeted the depressed An Ruxuan!
