It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 161 Lao Deng!I fulfill my filial piety every day at the knees of my mother and concubine
Tuoba Yangqiu!
Just hearing this name, Zhao Huan and Eunuch Li knew the seriousness of the matter.
Tuoba!
It is the royal surname of Mang Kingdom among the four kingdoms of Longyuan. Mang Kingdom is further north and does not border Dayu, so there have not been many exchanges and conflicts with Dayu in the past 20 years.
But everyone knows that Mang State is the most powerful of the four Longyuan Kingdoms.
The main force that blocked Xiang Tiange in the past also came from the Mang Kingdom.
The man in front of me is called Tuoba Yangqiu.
He also claimed to be the messenger of Longyuan God.
The status is self-evident.
"Crash!"
There was a sound of scraping of armor outside the door.
In just a moment, the imperial guards surrounded the imperial study room.
He was about to enter the imperial study room and capture Tuoba Yangqiu.
But I heard Zhao Huan's unhurried voice coming from inside.
"It's okay! Everyone, please step back!"
He picked up the tea slowly and took a sip.
The guards were a little hesitant. Tuoba Yangqiu came in silently, which is enough to show that this person has extremely high cultivation level. If he is allowed to be so close to the emperor, then...
They are not worried.
If something goes wrong, they are all guilty.
But Zhao Huan said so, so they could only grit their teeth and retreat a little further.
Zhao Huan looked calm and sipped the tea unhurriedly.
Eunuch Li agreed and immediately said contemptuously: "Barbarians are barbarians. You don't even have this diplomatic etiquette. If you hadn't reported your family status, our family would have thought you were just a little barbarian thief who came out of nowhere!"
Ok?
Seeing the attitudes of the two people, Tuoba Yangqiu's eyes flashed with surprise.
This was not quite what he thought.
These two people are so magnanimous.
He turned around and smiled, and once again made a foreign minister's salute: "Don't be surprised, Emperor Yu, our Mang Kingdom is the leader of the Four Kingdoms of Longyuan, and the foreign minister is the envoy of Longyuan God, so naturally he will not disregard diplomatic etiquette.
Early this morning, the God's envoy set out and would reach Linge in three months.
The foreign minister just went ahead and informed Emperor Yu in advance to avoid any misunderstanding when entering the country.
Also.
The gods have been on good terms with His Majesty Emperor Yu for a long time, and they sent foreign ministers to pay their respects. Since the existence of the gods is a matter of secrecy, the trip should not be too formal.
Please forgive me, His Majesty Emperor Yu. "
Eunuch Li couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. These barbarians really bully the weak and fear the strong.
You're getting hard.
He knows how to be polite.
Zhao Huan smiled faintly: "Have we been friends with gods for a long time? After living alone for more than sixty years, I have heard a little bit about the gods. They are nothing more than gods and monsters made up by the countries in the northern region, but I have never heard of his actual existence.
Neither exists.
What about divine friendship? "
Although laughing.
But one can hear impatience and contempt in his tone.
It even felt like an order might be given at any time to capture Tuoba Yangqiu, a nonsense talker.
Tuoba Yangqiu frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "The existence of the gods is secret, and it is not unusual for His Majesty Emperor Yu not to know about it. When the envoy arrives, your majesty will naturally be able to confirm the existence of the gods."
Zhao Huan was noncommittal: "What did you do when God sent you here?"
Tuoba Yangqiu smiled slightly: "It has been hundreds of years since the Yu Kingdom moved south, and the north and south have been fighting for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, the people in the north and south of Huailing Mountains have been in dire straits.
Today, the country of Yu is sharpening its sword.
Long Yuan also made great efforts.
The god couldn't bear the loss of life, so he sent foreign ministers to negotiate peace. "
"Reconciliation?"
Zhao Huan snorted coldly: "It's not impossible, as long as you let your god give an order to make the four kingdoms of Longyuan return the land and subjects that have invaded my Dayu, I will order not to attack you. Otherwise, this matter will never be possible! "
He spoke without hiding his anger.
This old man, who seemed to be in his final years, once again showed the magnanimity of a hero.
This is majestic.
Even Tuoba Yangqiu couldn't bear it. His majestic body couldn't help but bend down slightly, and he could only grit his teeth and stand hard.
He took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yu, is different from what he said. In the barbaric years, there were no countries, and all tribes of the human race lived and worked in peace and contentment in their respective homes.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the nomadic tribes were driven to the far north. We only took back part of our residential land, so why invade it? "
Zhao Huan sneered: "Live and work in peace and contentment? Before the founding of Dayu, in the evil and chaotic times, when did you live and work in peace and contentment? During the founding war, the eight tribes of the Central Plains invited your ancestors to join forces to fight against the enemy.
Not only did your ancestors disagree, they often stabbed me in the back because of petty gains.
Nowadays, probably [-]% of the people in the Northern Territory will never see a demon in their lifetime.
Isn't this because of the extraordinary achievements of that year?
Among all these achievements, your ancestors not only had no merit, but even made huge mistakes.
you say!
Should I drive you away? "
Tuoba Yangqiu's face was ugly, and he just said in a deep voice: "Ignoring whether His Majesty Emperor Yu's words are true or not, the people in this land have changed several times in a thousand years, so it is unwise to hold people accountable like this.
Who was right and who was wrong a thousand years ago, it will be difficult for you and me to tell clearly a thousand years from now, let alone convince the people on both sides.
The foreign minister is not good at words and is just a messenger.
Even if the foreign ministers expressed their admiration for His Majesty, they could not change the national policy at all.
and so.
Negotiating peace is the business.
Wait for the envoy to arrive and discuss the details with His Majesty! "
This barbarian.
Like stones in a latrine.
Smelly and hard.
Zhao Huan frowned and said in a cold voice, "Oh? Who said I want to negotiate peace with you?"
When he spoke, his whole body was filled with murderous aura.
And outside the royal study.
Although no Ouchi guards were seen coming around.
But he also vaguely heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed.
Tuoba Yangqiu's face turned extremely ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and asked, "What? Does His Majesty Emperor Yu not want to negotiate for peace?"
Zhao Huan didn't speak, just stared at him quietly.
Eunuch Li said angrily: "You barbarian is so rude. 20 years ago, I, Marshal Xiang, killed you so much that you didn't dare to invade. Now, after 20 years of development, our troops are even stronger."
It was Long Yuan who came to discuss peace.
As an envoy, it’s okay if you come without warning.
How dare you speak nonsense?
Do you really think that we, a country with great etiquette, dare not kill such an rude person like you? "
Finished speaking.
The long sword has been unsheathed.
The seven divine patterns all over his body are already shining brightly.
Murderous.
No reservations.
Cold sweat broke out on Tuoba Yangqiu's forehead, and the blood all over his body was surging. The tribes in the north also cultivated the divine treasures, but the grades of the divine treasures were not high, and they only used the magical powers attached to the divine patterns as combat skills.
Most of their cultivation is in their blood, which makes their bodies extremely strong. This cultivation method has its own advantages and disadvantages with the cultivation methods of the various tribes in Dayu.
But after all, he is only about 25 years old.
Compared with Eunuch Li, his cultivation level is actually a bit worse.
Especially now that we are in the enemy camp.
Just conflict.
He is the lamb to the slaughter.
In such a life and death crisis, even he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However, his tone was quite calm: "If Your Majesty wants to kill, just kill him directly. It's just a pity that the North and the South have lost an opportunity to negotiate peace."
Eunuch Li snorted coldly: "The Northern Territory is the homeland of Dayu. Hundreds of officials and soldiers have long been prepared to fight to the death. Let's not miss this opportunity to negotiate peace. You thief, just accept death. If I don't kill you, I can't show the power of Dayu." The majesty of it.”
Say it.
Another step forward.
Tuoba Yangqiu's temples were beating, he didn't expect the Dayu man to be so irritable.
Just when he was ready to risk his life.
Zhao Huan smiled and waved his hand: "The majesty of Dayu does not need to be demonstrated by killing a rude and barbaric envoy.
Big companion, take him down!
Except that they are not allowed to move around, everyone else is treated with the courtesy of an envoy. After the envoy arrives, ask Long Yuan where the courtesy is.
He was born in the Mang country, so he didn't have to pay attention to etiquette.
But you and I are both from a big country, and it would be inappropriate for one person to break our etiquette. "
"Humph!"
Eunuch Li returned his sword to its sheath and said coldly: "Why don't you thank your Majesty quickly!"
Tuoba Yangqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but refused to give in. He snorted angrily and said, "You can just say thank you. Eunuch Li can just lead the way!"
Eunuch Li glared at him rather unpleasantly, then directly sealed his meridians.
A group of Ouchi guards were called and the man was taken into custody.
after that.
There was silence in the imperial study room for a long time.
a long time.
Zhao Huancai asked: "What do you think of this Tuoba Yangqiu?"
Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "This person seems to have some scheming, but not much. It's just that the cultivation level of this sixth level of Shen Zang can truly surpass his peers. Even in the entire Linge, there are few heroes who can match him."
25 is old.
The sixth level of divine possession.
No matter where he is placed, he is a top talent.
After all, among the Five Elements Divine Treasures, the two major and minor divine treasures are the strongest, and they are also the fastest in cultivation.
The remaining three divine treasures are becoming more and more difficult to cultivate due to the invisible strife between them.
and so.
The age of 20 to 30 is often the time when cultivation grows the slowest.
Many of the geniuses who participated in the government competition were able to become masters of the third level of Shen Zang from a rookie who had just been training for a short period of time in just three years.
But it will take ten years to complete the remaining three sacred treasures.
Many people even cannot complete the Five Elements Divine Treasure in their lifetime.
As for the divine pattern of the Lingtai, it is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.
But the Longyuan Barbarians have different cultivation methods. They use the divine power of the divine patterns as combat skills. Naturally, the grade of the divine patterns is not much higher, and the conflict between the five elements naturally does not exist.
Compared with the same level, Long Yuan is weaker than Dayu.
But compared to his age, Dayu has suffered a lot.
In short, there are more experts in Dayu, and the cost of Longyuan's backbone is lower.
Before Dayu moved south, he was able to suppress the northern tribes most of the time because there were more masters.
But ever since those barbarians believed in the God Long Yuan and formed four khanates in the name of Long Yuan, their combat effectiveness had soared horribly.
This is also the reason why the Northern Territory fell.
No one knows why the combat effectiveness has soared.
But it's almost certain.
The gap between the two strong men of the same level has narrowed a lot. Even if the master of Dayu takes advantage of the divine patterns and magical powers, it will be difficult to crush them at the same level.
and so……
The sixth level of Tuoba Yangqiu's divine treasure has a very high gold content.
At the age of 25, it is even more terrifying.
"you say……"
Zhao Huan narrowed his eyes: "Why does this person come to ask for peace?"
Eunuch Li thought hard for a long time and bowed helplessly: "I am stupid and I really can't think of it."
Zhao Huan looked slightly stern.
He was sure.
His performance just now has shocked Tuoba Yangqiu.
But he still couldn't figure out what Tuoba Yangqiu wanted to do.
20 years ago.
He has seen the top combat power of Longyuan Heavenly Court. Not to mention overthrowing Dayu, he can at least make Dayu's Northern Expedition army return without success.
Long Yuan is very strong.
So strong that there is no need to negotiate a peace.
But they still sent people to negotiate peace.
This is peace.
It is the purpose after all.
Or means?
If it is a means.
What is their purpose?
test me?
Zhao Huan frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
He could only wave his hands and said: "This Tuoba Yangqiu, please watch him closely, but of course not too tightly. Leave him a hole to go out and monitor who he looks at."
"Yes!"
Eunuch Li nodded solemnly and then went down directly.
Zhao Huan rubbed his tight brows, rested for a while, and then began to write, drafting many secret edicts.
This time the Longyuan Kingdoms suddenly made a move, and he had to make early plans to deal with it.
Just as he was writing furiously.
Suddenly there was a voice outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the tenth prince wishes to see you."
"Huh? Let him in!"
Zhao Huan was a little curious and didn't know what Zhao Ci was doing at this time.
After a while.
Zhao Ci walked in with square steps and bowed to Zhao Huan in a polite manner: "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart when he saw the cheerful look on his face.
I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling.
But his face was still filled with a kind smile: "Ci'er, you look good. Did you encounter some happy event?"
Zhao Ci smiled and said, "My mother and concubine take good care of me!"
"Ok?"
Zhao Huan thumped again.
Zhao Ci added with a smile: "Some time ago, I became ill with worry. Fortunately, my father solved the misunderstanding between the child and his mother. It happened that the child also gave up those messy tasks and stayed at the knees of his mother and concubine to fulfill his filial piety every day. He was in a good mood. Naturally, it feels much more relaxing.”
"Oh……"
Zhao Huan was secretly relieved. It turned out to be like this. I thought something was wrong.
a few days ago.
He was forced to compromise with Gu Xiangzhu. On the one hand, he gave part of the inheritance of Yingzhou Xiandao, and on the other hand, he also persuaded Zhao Ci.
"Mother and son" clearing up the misunderstanding will indeed make Zhao Ci less worried.
Although he didn't want to see this kind of thing.
But it was also a helpless move to win over Gu Xiangzhu.
to him.
It's nothing more than losing a kidney source.
But now, the kidney source is restored.
Zhao Huan smiled: "Tell me, what are you doing here this time?"
Zhao Ci grinned: "The mother-in-law has assigned two tasks to the son, asking the son to come to the father to ask for help!"
Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a little wary. This witch had already received so many benefits, why did she still want to raise conditions?
But he still asked with a smile: "Say it!"
Zhao Ci scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "My son told his mother and concubine a few days ago that he planned to rely solely on the alchemy house in the future and ignore those messy tasks.
My mother-in-law said that I was idle, so I might as well get married early, so that she could have a grandchild earlier! "
Zhao Huan's pupils shrank and he instantly understood Gu Xiangzhu's plan.
This woman must have met Kan Tianji's strength in the Five Elements Prison.
If she holds Zhao Ci and embraces her "grandson" earlier, she will undoubtedly be more closely bound to Kan Tianji.
Such a binding.
Once the forces of the two sides merge, they will probably reach the level of the Seven Great Meritorious Families.
Even if it is only at the bottom, it is still an extremely terrifying force.
Not a good sign.
However, this seems inevitable.
Actually, that's no problem.
Because this just ended Zhao Huan's two hidden worries.
First, Kan Tianji has always been disdainful of the Demon Sect. Gu Xiangzhu dared to bind Kan Tianji, which shows that she has cut ties with the Demon Sect and she must be sincere in staying in Linge this time.
The second thing is...Zhao Huan doesn't know what's wrong with him. He always feels a green light coming from his head, and often comes up with the absurd idea that Gu Xiangzhu will use his lust to capture Zhao Ci.
but now.
There is no need to worry at all.
If Gu Xiangzhu really wanted to capture Zhao Ci with his looks, he would definitely delay the marriage as much as possible. How could there be any reason to rush it forward?
then.
Zhao Huan smiled slightly: "Do you want to advance the wedding date with Luotang girl? No problem, I will summon your grandfather-in-law tomorrow and choose another auspicious day."
"It's not just Luotang."
Zhao Ciqiqi Ai Ai said: "There is also Zhu Li. The child has been with Zhu Li for many days, and he has already...please ask the father to fulfill his wish!"
Zhao Huan couldn't stand it any longer: "How presumptuous! Is this a major matter of marriage that you can only play with?"
Zhao Ci had a look of astonishment on his face: "Zhu Li and I are also in love, and we don't make any decisions. Didn't you ask your father for permission to ask for this marriage?"
Zhao Huan's cheeks twitched: "Do Luo Tang and your grandfather-in-law know about this matter?"
"Of course I know. How can I dare to mention it to my father without their consent?"
"..."
Zhao Huan's face turned a little dark.
He finally understood that Kan Tianji's ambition was greater than he imagined.
The old man not only wanted to bind Xingyu Danhui, but also wanted to bind Zhu Jiang to the warship.
Although Zhu Jiang has been rumored to have been ignored, he can mobilize at least [-]% of the Zhu family's alchemist resources, and they are elite alchemists.
If this part of the power will be integrated with Xingyu Pill.
It will definitely cause a huge commotion in the Zhu family.
Zhao Huan said in a deep voice: "Ci'er! Do you know Zhu Li's status in the Zhu family?"
Zhao Ci had a bitter look on his face: "I heard my mother and concubine say something! But my father, I have no intention of seizing the throne, nor do I have the intention to interfere in the internal affairs of other families. I just want to live my own little life with the one I love.
The child loves Luotang and likes Zhu Li.
The two of them are also best friends.As long as this marriage is settled.
We, husband and wife, live our lives honestly.
Dedicate the rest of his life to Dayu's elixir business and contribute to the construction of the human dynasty. "
Zhao Huan: "???"
What words?
What is this nonsense?
Husband and wife, three people, right?
He is annoying.
It’s not that I’m worried that Xingyu Dan will rise.
Even if the Xingyu Danhui rises again, it will only shorten the distance with the three Feng Zhuyang families. Having one more family participating in the battle will be more conducive to consolidating the elixir market.
In particular, the Xingyu Alchemy Society had a weak foundation, so it was inevitable to attract alchemy talents from outside, which would make it easier for the royal family to control it.
What Zhao Huan is mainly worried about is that this is an extremely dangerous signal for the princelings and the four princes.
Especially wishes to the family.
Especially especially.
He frowned: "Don't do this again..."
Zhao Ci quickly interrupted: "Father! Why don't you listen to the second request first?"
Zhao Huan frowned, but still said: "Tell me about it!"
Zhao Ci smiled and said: "Seven days later, this year's Gongdan Conference will be held. The child requested that a house be built on the Dantai to block the sight."
"Why?"
"Because the mother-in-law found a method that can improve the efficiency of alchemy from the ancient books left by Yingzhou Fairy Island, and we are afraid that others will learn from it."
"This……"
"If we let go, we can reduce the price of the Qi Training Pill to less than ten taels!"
"what!?"
Zhao Huan once suspected that his ears had heard wrongly.
Ten, twelve?
Last year, the price of pills was reduced to less than 20 taels, which was shocking enough.
This time it was down to twelve again.
This……
He glanced at Zhao Ci with his head half lowered.
I couldn't help but ask: "If I don't agree to your marriage to Zhu Li, will you stop paying the price for the pill?"
Zhao Ci hurriedly said: "It's not that the child doesn't want to be suppressed, but that the mother-in-law doesn't want to suppress it! This alchemy technique was carefully developed by the mother-in-law, and naturally it is the mother-in-law who has the final say on how to deal with it.
Ugh……
The main reason is that the mother-in-law also cares about Zhu Li very much.
This girl holds Yu Xinyan and has always been the mainstay of Xingyu Danhui.
But after all, she is just working.
Don't marry her off to a child for a day.
The mother and concubine cannot rest at ease for a day.
Therefore, this slightly radical method can only be used.
I hope my father can make it happen! "
Zhao Huan: "..."
hiss……
Give up such a big piece of meat.
I really can’t bear it!
However, after taking Zhao Yong's kidney water divine pattern, he can take away the Liangyi Immortal Body.
It was only a matter of time before he and Gu Xiangzhu gave birth to an heir.
It is impossible for Gu Xiangzhu not to know the difference between a real son and a fake son.
At that time.
He can control the separation between Gu Xiangzhu and Kan Tianji, turning the two sides into enemies.
then.
Rely on immortality to drag Gu Xiangzhu and Demon Lord to death, and then destroy the younger son's lineage.
This huge Xingyu Danfang is completely royal.
of course.
There are quite a few risks.
But in the face of this overwhelming benefit, mere risks are nothing to worry about.
He nodded: "Since you two like this girl Zhu Li so much, then I, as a father, will work hard. But marriage is a matter between two families. You can handle it on Zhu Li's father's side, and on his side. It makes no sense, this marriage is difficult to grant!”
"Thank you, Father, for fulfilling the task!"
Zhao Ci was overjoyed: "My child must convince his father-in-law as soon as possible!"
Zhao Huan waved his hand: "Go on and perform well at the Gongdan Conference."
"Yes! My boy, leave!"
Zhao Ci nodded heavily and added: "By the way, father! You must not leak this news before the marriage is completed. The child is really afraid of the prince and the fourth brother!"
After saying that, he left the imperial study room with great satisfaction.
What came to mind was the golden barrage on Zhao Huan's head.
[Zhao Huan's current wish]: alienate Kan Gu, drag the Demon King and Gu Xiangzhu to death, kill his youngest son, and completely capture the Xingyu Danhui.Reward for completing the wish: Comprehension value +10000, Alchemy Breakthrough Pill X1.
Zhao Ci: "..."
Lao Deng is Lao Deng.
What a far-reaching thought!
So evil!
But this does not prevent me from being a filial son.
Go home and do your filial piety!
……
After seven days.
The Gongdan Conference was earth-shattering.
Xingyu Danhui offered a super low price of ten taels of silver, completely destroying the entire Qi training pill market.
The alchemists of Feng Zhuyang's three families were so angry that they turned purple. They really didn't want to follow such a low price, but if they didn't, the underlying market for elixirs would be completely lost.
Although this bottom market is no longer profitable for them, losing it is more conducive to preserving capital.
But as time went by, the people and practitioners at the bottom only remembered the Xingyu Danhui when it came to elixirs, and had no idea what the Feng Zhuyang Sanjia was.
When they become successful in cultivation and choose higher-level elixirs in the future, will they choose you or Xingyu Danhui?
Yes!
When it comes to drug efficacy, everyone votes with their feet.
The strength of Ke Xing Yu Dan Hui's middle-end elixirs is also catching up.
If this does not stick to the underlying market, it will be overturned sooner or later.
and so.
and!
You have to bite the bullet and follow the money, at least not completely lose ground.
Anyway, the three families of Feng Zhuyang have a strong foundation and can still use it for a long time. Their wine refining skills have already seen signs of optimization. Sooner or later...
But twelve taels is too low!
This is still the case for the three families of Feng Zhu and Yang.
Xunmo and Lingyun, two alchemy shops that rejected Gu Xiangzhu's merger proposal last year, declared bankruptcy and were completely acquired by Gu Xiangzhu at a very low price.
no way.
Their main market is Qi Lian Dan.
After a year of hard work, they managed to reduce the price of Dan to 30 taels.
As a result, when I turned around, Xingyu Danhui had already reached [-] liang.
Last year, they had already tasted the pain. As long as there were elixirs from Xingyu Danhui on the market, no one would buy their elixirs. Life was very difficult.
This time they have to be tough again, not to mention how heavy the losses will be. The alchemists themselves will have to run away and defect to the Xingyu Alchemy Society privately.
Rather than ending in such an ugly way.
It's better to take advantage of the dignity and package all the belongings and sell them to Gu Xiangzhu, so as to save the capital.
And this Gongdan Conference.
The Tenth Prince's Mansion has also received a large number of orders, which translates into a massive amount of achievements, and it has been completely declared flat.
Fortunately, too.
They really lay flat.
Didn't take any tasks.
Forget about taking the mission.
I haven’t even been to the Zongren Mansion.
This made the princelings and the four princelings feel more at ease.
then.
A group of people who have already lined up are working hard to complete the task.
But it is obvious that he can no longer catch up with the Ten Princes in terms of achievements.
But it's okay.
If the Ten Princes only stayed in the alchemy field, they would be completely acceptable.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
Snow melts.
The grass grows and the warbler flies.
It’s spring again.
When the willows are green, the scenery is most pleasant.
at dusk.
Zhu Li rushed back to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
"Boss, boss!"
She ran to the practice room excitedly: "Boss, are you there?"
In the practice room.
Zhao Ci's breathy voice came out: "Here! Here! I'm practicing and it will be over soon. Don't come in."
"Oh!"
Zhu Li nodded and waited outside obediently.
The boss works too hard.
Practice every day.
Every time I practice Qigong, I am huffing and puffing.
a long time.
a long time.
"Squeak..."
The door opened.
A wisp of smoke drifted away without leaving a trace.
Some time passed.
Zhao Cicai walked out calmly.
Zhu Li grabbed his forearm and looked at him curiously for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what kind of skills do you practice?
It feels like you are very tired when practicing, but every time you finish practicing, you seem to be particularly calm.
Even the spirit seems to be particularly relaxed.
Like a sage who has no desires or desires.
Can you teach me this mental method?
My Yu Xinyan has been a little out of control recently, and I almost exploded today. "
Zhao Ci: "..."
The corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
How can we teach this sage-like state of mind?
I could only rub Zhu Li's head: "Okay, I will teach you when you grow up."
When I hear the word "grow up".
Zhu Li couldn't help but blush.
During this period, she had been writing to Zhu Jiang under the guidance of Gu Xiangzhu, mentioning the wedding.
Although it has not been successful.
But in her mind, the matter was settled.
Because except for Zhao Ci, there is no one in the world who can make her happy just by staying by his side.
But since the concept of "marriage" appeared, and she knew that the villains in the book were all naked, her heartbeat could not help but accelerate when she stayed with Zhao Ci.
The feeling of rapid heartbeat is very exciting.
She loves it.
But it always makes her Yu Xinyan lose control.
and so.
She never dared to openly marry Zhao Citi.
Zhao Ci didn't say anything, only "grow up" instead.
But even so.
Zhu Li still gets hot in her cheeks when she hears the word "grow up".
She quickly changed the topic: "Boss, what do you think I saw outside when I came back just now?"
"what?"
Zhao Ci couldn't help but ask, in the past three months, Gu Xiangzhu has been handling the Demon Sect's affairs.
He has been practicing.
Or do dual cultivation.
Or practice alone.
Crazy attempts to refine the Law of Destruction.
Don't say it.
Sometimes when you are angry, you can really mobilize a little bit of the power of the Law of Destruction.
Although it is only a little bit, it is also a qualitative improvement.
He couldn't beat Zhao Lian three months ago.
But if they meet alone, they will not be unable to escape.
All my heart is focused on cultivation.
Although the information is still well-informed, it is no longer so sensitive.
"Today I……"
Zhu Li was quite excited: "I saw a group of barbarians from the Four Kingdoms of Longyuan. They are so strong, their thighs are thicker than my waist!"
"Barbarian?"
Zhao Ci frowned slightly. In fact, he got the news when the Long Yuan mission entered the border of Dayu.
These people were leisurely and not in a hurry at all. It actually took them nearly three months to get to Linge.
He asked, "Where have these people gone?"
Zhu Li pointed in the direction of the palace: "The palace! I heard that they are a mission, and they seem to be holding a dust-cleansing banquet tonight."
Zhao Ci looked serious: "That's why you came back so early..."
Zhu Li grabbed Zhao Ci's wrist: "I heard they brought a lot of spices from the Northern Territory... Boss! Promise me and take me to eat, okay?"
[Zhu Li’s current wish]: Participate in the dust-washing banquet.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, Taotie Talisman x10.
Zhao Ci: "..."
Also at this time.
"Leave!"
A gentle voice sounded.
Zhu Li turned around first and hugged Gu Xiangzhu's arm affectionately: "Empress! Take me to the dust-washing banquet!"
She looked up.
She always liked this Concubine Jing.
Be willing to give money.
Be willing to give resources.
Kind attitude.
of course.
These are not the point.
The point is to look good.
Zhu Li had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and she felt a little cold before.
But recently.
His complexion became more and more rosy.
Especially today, it looks as beautiful as a delicate flower.
It seems as if it has just been moisturized by the spring rain.
Even as a girl, she couldn't help but admire her beauty in her prime.
"Good good!"
Gu Xiangzhu patted the back of her hand gently, and then looked at Zhao Ci: "Today's dust-cleansing banquet, your father has just ordered that all the founders and officials in Linge must participate. You can come with me!"
"it is good!"
Zhao Ci nodded. It seemed that the Long Yuan delegation really had a big plan when they came this time.
It just so happened that three months of retreat was too boring.
See what they are running for.
I don’t know if there are any “priests” among the more than 100 people on their trip.
Honestly.
He really wanted to fight against the "priest".
From Yang Heng's memory, Xiang Tiange was hunted down by a "priest" and hundreds of "god servants", but his vitality was not harmed.
If the "Priest" loses the "God Servant", it may be equivalent to Zhao Lian's strength.
If you fight.
The chances of winning should be slim.
But he wanted to see the reaction of each of the eight major clans when the "priest's" strength was exposed.
The Ten Princes and their entourage got on the carriage.
He rushed towards the palace in a mighty manner.
soon.
They rushed to the venue of the Dust Cleansing Banquet.
Take your seats according to your status.
Zhao Ci also glanced around as usual.

(End of this chapter)
Tuoba Yangqiu!
Just hearing this name, Zhao Huan and Eunuch Li knew the seriousness of the matter.
Tuoba!
It is the royal surname of Mang Kingdom among the four kingdoms of Longyuan. Mang Kingdom is further north and does not border Dayu, so there have not been many exchanges and conflicts with Dayu in the past 20 years.
But everyone knows that Mang State is the most powerful of the four Longyuan Kingdoms.
The main force that blocked Xiang Tiange in the past also came from the Mang Kingdom.
The man in front of me is called Tuoba Yangqiu.
He also claimed to be the messenger of Longyuan God.
The status is self-evident.
"Crash!"
There was a sound of scraping of armor outside the door.
In just a moment, the imperial guards surrounded the imperial study room.
He was about to enter the imperial study room and capture Tuoba Yangqiu.
But I heard Zhao Huan's unhurried voice coming from inside.
"It's okay! Everyone, please step back!"
He picked up the tea slowly and took a sip.
The guards were a little hesitant. Tuoba Yangqiu came in silently, which is enough to show that this person has extremely high cultivation level. If he is allowed to be so close to the emperor, then...
They are not worried.
If something goes wrong, they are all guilty.
But Zhao Huan said so, so they could only grit their teeth and retreat a little further.
Zhao Huan looked calm and sipped the tea unhurriedly.
Eunuch Li agreed and immediately said contemptuously: "Barbarians are barbarians. You don't even have this diplomatic etiquette. If you hadn't reported your family status, our family would have thought you were just a little barbarian thief who came out of nowhere!"
Ok?
Seeing the attitudes of the two people, Tuoba Yangqiu's eyes flashed with surprise.
This was not quite what he thought.
These two people are so magnanimous.
He turned around and smiled, and once again made a foreign minister's salute: "Don't be surprised, Emperor Yu, our Mang Kingdom is the leader of the Four Kingdoms of Longyuan, and the foreign minister is the envoy of Longyuan God, so naturally he will not disregard diplomatic etiquette.
Early this morning, the God's envoy set out and would reach Linge in three months.
The foreign minister just went ahead and informed Emperor Yu in advance to avoid any misunderstanding when entering the country.
Also.
The gods have been on good terms with His Majesty Emperor Yu for a long time, and they sent foreign ministers to pay their respects. Since the existence of the gods is a matter of secrecy, the trip should not be too formal.
Please forgive me, His Majesty Emperor Yu. "
Eunuch Li couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. These barbarians really bully the weak and fear the strong.
You're getting hard.
He knows how to be polite.
Zhao Huan smiled faintly: "Have we been friends with gods for a long time? After living alone for more than sixty years, I have heard a little bit about the gods. They are nothing more than gods and monsters made up by the countries in the northern region, but I have never heard of his actual existence.
Neither exists.
What about divine friendship? "
Although laughing.
But one can hear impatience and contempt in his tone.
It even felt like an order might be given at any time to capture Tuoba Yangqiu, a nonsense talker.
Tuoba Yangqiu frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "The existence of the gods is secret, and it is not unusual for His Majesty Emperor Yu not to know about it. When the envoy arrives, your majesty will naturally be able to confirm the existence of the gods."
Zhao Huan was noncommittal: "What did you do when God sent you here?"
Tuoba Yangqiu smiled slightly: "It has been hundreds of years since the Yu Kingdom moved south, and the north and south have been fighting for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, the people in the north and south of Huailing Mountains have been in dire straits.
Today, the country of Yu is sharpening its sword.
Long Yuan also made great efforts.
The god couldn't bear the loss of life, so he sent foreign ministers to negotiate peace. "
"Reconciliation?"
Zhao Huan snorted coldly: "It's not impossible, as long as you let your god give an order to make the four kingdoms of Longyuan return the land and subjects that have invaded my Dayu, I will order not to attack you. Otherwise, this matter will never be possible! "
He spoke without hiding his anger.
This old man, who seemed to be in his final years, once again showed the magnanimity of a hero.
This is majestic.
Even Tuoba Yangqiu couldn't bear it. His majestic body couldn't help but bend down slightly, and he could only grit his teeth and stand hard.
He took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yu, is different from what he said. In the barbaric years, there were no countries, and all tribes of the human race lived and worked in peace and contentment in their respective homes.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the nomadic tribes were driven to the far north. We only took back part of our residential land, so why invade it? "
Zhao Huan sneered: "Live and work in peace and contentment? Before the founding of Dayu, in the evil and chaotic times, when did you live and work in peace and contentment? During the founding war, the eight tribes of the Central Plains invited your ancestors to join forces to fight against the enemy.
Not only did your ancestors disagree, they often stabbed me in the back because of petty gains.
Nowadays, probably [-]% of the people in the Northern Territory will never see a demon in their lifetime.
Isn't this because of the extraordinary achievements of that year?
Among all these achievements, your ancestors not only had no merit, but even made huge mistakes.
you say!
Should I drive you away? "
Tuoba Yangqiu's face was ugly, and he just said in a deep voice: "Ignoring whether His Majesty Emperor Yu's words are true or not, the people in this land have changed several times in a thousand years, so it is unwise to hold people accountable like this.
Who was right and who was wrong a thousand years ago, it will be difficult for you and me to tell clearly a thousand years from now, let alone convince the people on both sides.
The foreign minister is not good at words and is just a messenger.
Even if the foreign ministers expressed their admiration for His Majesty, they could not change the national policy at all.
and so.
Negotiating peace is the business.
Wait for the envoy to arrive and discuss the details with His Majesty! "
This barbarian.
Like stones in a latrine.
Smelly and hard.
Zhao Huan frowned and said in a cold voice, "Oh? Who said I want to negotiate peace with you?"
When he spoke, his whole body was filled with murderous aura.
And outside the royal study.
Although no Ouchi guards were seen coming around.
But he also vaguely heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed.
Tuoba Yangqiu's face turned extremely ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and asked, "What? Does His Majesty Emperor Yu not want to negotiate for peace?"
Zhao Huan didn't speak, just stared at him quietly.
Eunuch Li said angrily: "You barbarian is so rude. 20 years ago, I, Marshal Xiang, killed you so much that you didn't dare to invade. Now, after 20 years of development, our troops are even stronger."
It was Long Yuan who came to discuss peace.
As an envoy, it’s okay if you come without warning.
How dare you speak nonsense?
Do you really think that we, a country with great etiquette, dare not kill such an rude person like you? "
Finished speaking.
The long sword has been unsheathed.
The seven divine patterns all over his body are already shining brightly.
Murderous.
No reservations.
Cold sweat broke out on Tuoba Yangqiu's forehead, and the blood all over his body was surging. The tribes in the north also cultivated the divine treasures, but the grades of the divine treasures were not high, and they only used the magical powers attached to the divine patterns as combat skills.
Most of their cultivation is in their blood, which makes their bodies extremely strong. This cultivation method has its own advantages and disadvantages with the cultivation methods of the various tribes in Dayu.
But after all, he is only about 25 years old.
Compared with Eunuch Li, his cultivation level is actually a bit worse.
Especially now that we are in the enemy camp.
Just conflict.
He is the lamb to the slaughter.
In such a life and death crisis, even he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However, his tone was quite calm: "If Your Majesty wants to kill, just kill him directly. It's just a pity that the North and the South have lost an opportunity to negotiate peace."
Eunuch Li snorted coldly: "The Northern Territory is the homeland of Dayu. Hundreds of officials and soldiers have long been prepared to fight to the death. Let's not miss this opportunity to negotiate peace. You thief, just accept death. If I don't kill you, I can't show the power of Dayu." The majesty of it.”
Say it.
Another step forward.
Tuoba Yangqiu's temples were beating, he didn't expect the Dayu man to be so irritable.
Just when he was ready to risk his life.
Zhao Huan smiled and waved his hand: "The majesty of Dayu does not need to be demonstrated by killing a rude and barbaric envoy.
Big companion, take him down!
Except that they are not allowed to move around, everyone else is treated with the courtesy of an envoy. After the envoy arrives, ask Long Yuan where the courtesy is.
He was born in the Mang country, so he didn't have to pay attention to etiquette.
But you and I are both from a big country, and it would be inappropriate for one person to break our etiquette. "
"Humph!"
Eunuch Li returned his sword to its sheath and said coldly: "Why don't you thank your Majesty quickly!"
Tuoba Yangqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but refused to give in. He snorted angrily and said, "You can just say thank you. Eunuch Li can just lead the way!"
Eunuch Li glared at him rather unpleasantly, then directly sealed his meridians.
A group of Ouchi guards were called and the man was taken into custody.
after that.
There was silence in the imperial study room for a long time.
a long time.
Zhao Huancai asked: "What do you think of this Tuoba Yangqiu?"
Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "This person seems to have some scheming, but not much. It's just that the cultivation level of this sixth level of Shen Zang can truly surpass his peers. Even in the entire Linge, there are few heroes who can match him."
25 is old.
The sixth level of divine possession.
No matter where he is placed, he is a top talent.
After all, among the Five Elements Divine Treasures, the two major and minor divine treasures are the strongest, and they are also the fastest in cultivation.
The remaining three divine treasures are becoming more and more difficult to cultivate due to the invisible strife between them.
and so.
The age of 20 to 30 is often the time when cultivation grows the slowest.
Many of the geniuses who participated in the government competition were able to become masters of the third level of Shen Zang from a rookie who had just been training for a short period of time in just three years.
But it will take ten years to complete the remaining three sacred treasures.
Many people even cannot complete the Five Elements Divine Treasure in their lifetime.
As for the divine pattern of the Lingtai, it is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.
But the Longyuan Barbarians have different cultivation methods. They use the divine power of the divine patterns as combat skills. Naturally, the grade of the divine patterns is not much higher, and the conflict between the five elements naturally does not exist.
Compared with the same level, Long Yuan is weaker than Dayu.
But compared to his age, Dayu has suffered a lot.
In short, there are more experts in Dayu, and the cost of Longyuan's backbone is lower.
Before Dayu moved south, he was able to suppress the northern tribes most of the time because there were more masters.
But ever since those barbarians believed in the God Long Yuan and formed four khanates in the name of Long Yuan, their combat effectiveness had soared horribly.
This is also the reason why the Northern Territory fell.
No one knows why the combat effectiveness has soared.
But it's almost certain.
The gap between the two strong men of the same level has narrowed a lot. Even if the master of Dayu takes advantage of the divine patterns and magical powers, it will be difficult to crush them at the same level.
and so……
The sixth level of Tuoba Yangqiu's divine treasure has a very high gold content.
At the age of 25, it is even more terrifying.
"you say……"
Zhao Huan narrowed his eyes: "Why does this person come to ask for peace?"
Eunuch Li thought hard for a long time and bowed helplessly: "I am stupid and I really can't think of it."
Zhao Huan looked slightly stern.
He was sure.
His performance just now has shocked Tuoba Yangqiu.
But he still couldn't figure out what Tuoba Yangqiu wanted to do.
20 years ago.
He has seen the top combat power of Longyuan Heavenly Court. Not to mention overthrowing Dayu, he can at least make Dayu's Northern Expedition army return without success.
Long Yuan is very strong.
So strong that there is no need to negotiate a peace.
But they still sent people to negotiate peace.
This is peace.
It is the purpose after all.
Or means?
If it is a means.
What is their purpose?
test me?
Zhao Huan frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
He could only wave his hands and said: "This Tuoba Yangqiu, please watch him closely, but of course not too tightly. Leave him a hole to go out and monitor who he looks at."
"Yes!"
Eunuch Li nodded solemnly and then went down directly.
Zhao Huan rubbed his tight brows, rested for a while, and then began to write, drafting many secret edicts.
This time the Longyuan Kingdoms suddenly made a move, and he had to make early plans to deal with it.
Just as he was writing furiously.
Suddenly there was a voice outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the tenth prince wishes to see you."
"Huh? Let him in!"
Zhao Huan was a little curious and didn't know what Zhao Ci was doing at this time.
After a while.
Zhao Ci walked in with square steps and bowed to Zhao Huan in a polite manner: "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart when he saw the cheerful look on his face.
I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling.
But his face was still filled with a kind smile: "Ci'er, you look good. Did you encounter some happy event?"
Zhao Ci smiled and said, "My mother and concubine take good care of me!"
"Ok?"
Zhao Huan thumped again.
Zhao Ci added with a smile: "Some time ago, I became ill with worry. Fortunately, my father solved the misunderstanding between the child and his mother. It happened that the child also gave up those messy tasks and stayed at the knees of his mother and concubine to fulfill his filial piety every day. He was in a good mood. Naturally, it feels much more relaxing.”
"Oh……"
Zhao Huan was secretly relieved. It turned out to be like this. I thought something was wrong.
a few days ago.
He was forced to compromise with Gu Xiangzhu. On the one hand, he gave part of the inheritance of Yingzhou Xiandao, and on the other hand, he also persuaded Zhao Ci.
"Mother and son" clearing up the misunderstanding will indeed make Zhao Ci less worried.
Although he didn't want to see this kind of thing.
But it was also a helpless move to win over Gu Xiangzhu.
to him.
It's nothing more than losing a kidney source.
But now, the kidney source is restored.
Zhao Huan smiled: "Tell me, what are you doing here this time?"
Zhao Ci grinned: "The mother-in-law has assigned two tasks to the son, asking the son to come to the father to ask for help!"
Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a little wary. This witch had already received so many benefits, why did she still want to raise conditions?
But he still asked with a smile: "Say it!"
Zhao Ci scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "My son told his mother and concubine a few days ago that he planned to rely solely on the alchemy house in the future and ignore those messy tasks.
My mother-in-law said that I was idle, so I might as well get married early, so that she could have a grandchild earlier! "
Zhao Huan's pupils shrank and he instantly understood Gu Xiangzhu's plan.
This woman must have met Kan Tianji's strength in the Five Elements Prison.
If she holds Zhao Ci and embraces her "grandson" earlier, she will undoubtedly be more closely bound to Kan Tianji.
Such a binding.
Once the forces of the two sides merge, they will probably reach the level of the Seven Great Meritorious Families.
Even if it is only at the bottom, it is still an extremely terrifying force.
Not a good sign.
However, this seems inevitable.
Actually, that's no problem.
Because this just ended Zhao Huan's two hidden worries.
First, Kan Tianji has always been disdainful of the Demon Sect. Gu Xiangzhu dared to bind Kan Tianji, which shows that she has cut ties with the Demon Sect and she must be sincere in staying in Linge this time.
The second thing is...Zhao Huan doesn't know what's wrong with him. He always feels a green light coming from his head, and often comes up with the absurd idea that Gu Xiangzhu will use his lust to capture Zhao Ci.
but now.
There is no need to worry at all.
If Gu Xiangzhu really wanted to capture Zhao Ci with his looks, he would definitely delay the marriage as much as possible. How could there be any reason to rush it forward?
then.
Zhao Huan smiled slightly: "Do you want to advance the wedding date with Luotang girl? No problem, I will summon your grandfather-in-law tomorrow and choose another auspicious day."
"It's not just Luotang."
Zhao Ciqiqi Ai Ai said: "There is also Zhu Li. The child has been with Zhu Li for many days, and he has already...please ask the father to fulfill his wish!"
Zhao Huan couldn't stand it any longer: "How presumptuous! Is this a major matter of marriage that you can only play with?"
Zhao Ci had a look of astonishment on his face: "Zhu Li and I are also in love, and we don't make any decisions. Didn't you ask your father for permission to ask for this marriage?"
Zhao Huan's cheeks twitched: "Do Luo Tang and your grandfather-in-law know about this matter?"
"Of course I know. How can I dare to mention it to my father without their consent?"
"..."
Zhao Huan's face turned a little dark.
He finally understood that Kan Tianji's ambition was greater than he imagined.
The old man not only wanted to bind Xingyu Danhui, but also wanted to bind Zhu Jiang to the warship.
Although Zhu Jiang has been rumored to have been ignored, he can mobilize at least [-]% of the Zhu family's alchemist resources, and they are elite alchemists.
If this part of the power will be integrated with Xingyu Pill.
It will definitely cause a huge commotion in the Zhu family.
Zhao Huan said in a deep voice: "Ci'er! Do you know Zhu Li's status in the Zhu family?"
Zhao Ci had a bitter look on his face: "I heard my mother and concubine say something! But my father, I have no intention of seizing the throne, nor do I have the intention to interfere in the internal affairs of other families. I just want to live my own little life with the one I love.
The child loves Luotang and likes Zhu Li.
The two of them are also best friends.As long as this marriage is settled.
We, husband and wife, live our lives honestly.
Dedicate the rest of his life to Dayu's elixir business and contribute to the construction of the human dynasty. "
Zhao Huan: "???"
What words?
What is this nonsense?
Husband and wife, three people, right?
He is annoying.
It’s not that I’m worried that Xingyu Dan will rise.
Even if the Xingyu Danhui rises again, it will only shorten the distance with the three Feng Zhuyang families. Having one more family participating in the battle will be more conducive to consolidating the elixir market.
In particular, the Xingyu Alchemy Society had a weak foundation, so it was inevitable to attract alchemy talents from outside, which would make it easier for the royal family to control it.
What Zhao Huan is mainly worried about is that this is an extremely dangerous signal for the princelings and the four princes.
Especially wishes to the family.
Especially especially.
He frowned: "Don't do this again..."
Zhao Ci quickly interrupted: "Father! Why don't you listen to the second request first?"
Zhao Huan frowned, but still said: "Tell me about it!"
Zhao Ci smiled and said: "Seven days later, this year's Gongdan Conference will be held. The child requested that a house be built on the Dantai to block the sight."
"Why?"
"Because the mother-in-law found a method that can improve the efficiency of alchemy from the ancient books left by Yingzhou Fairy Island, and we are afraid that others will learn from it."
"This……"
"If we let go, we can reduce the price of the Qi Training Pill to less than ten taels!"
"what!?"
Zhao Huan once suspected that his ears had heard wrongly.
Ten, twelve?
Last year, the price of pills was reduced to less than 20 taels, which was shocking enough.
This time it was down to twelve again.
This……
He glanced at Zhao Ci with his head half lowered.
I couldn't help but ask: "If I don't agree to your marriage to Zhu Li, will you stop paying the price for the pill?"
Zhao Ci hurriedly said: "It's not that the child doesn't want to be suppressed, but that the mother-in-law doesn't want to suppress it! This alchemy technique was carefully developed by the mother-in-law, and naturally it is the mother-in-law who has the final say on how to deal with it.
Ugh……
The main reason is that the mother-in-law also cares about Zhu Li very much.
This girl holds Yu Xinyan and has always been the mainstay of Xingyu Danhui.
But after all, she is just working.
Don't marry her off to a child for a day.
The mother and concubine cannot rest at ease for a day.
Therefore, this slightly radical method can only be used.
I hope my father can make it happen! "
Zhao Huan: "..."
hiss……
Give up such a big piece of meat.
I really can’t bear it!
However, after taking Zhao Yong's kidney water divine pattern, he can take away the Liangyi Immortal Body.
It was only a matter of time before he and Gu Xiangzhu gave birth to an heir.
It is impossible for Gu Xiangzhu not to know the difference between a real son and a fake son.
At that time.
He can control the separation between Gu Xiangzhu and Kan Tianji, turning the two sides into enemies.
then.
Rely on immortality to drag Gu Xiangzhu and Demon Lord to death, and then destroy the younger son's lineage.
This huge Xingyu Danfang is completely royal.
of course.
There are quite a few risks.
But in the face of this overwhelming benefit, mere risks are nothing to worry about.
He nodded: "Since you two like this girl Zhu Li so much, then I, as a father, will work hard. But marriage is a matter between two families. You can handle it on Zhu Li's father's side, and on his side. It makes no sense, this marriage is difficult to grant!”
"Thank you, Father, for fulfilling the task!"
Zhao Ci was overjoyed: "My child must convince his father-in-law as soon as possible!"
Zhao Huan waved his hand: "Go on and perform well at the Gongdan Conference."
"Yes! My boy, leave!"
Zhao Ci nodded heavily and added: "By the way, father! You must not leak this news before the marriage is completed. The child is really afraid of the prince and the fourth brother!"
After saying that, he left the imperial study room with great satisfaction.
What came to mind was the golden barrage on Zhao Huan's head.
[Zhao Huan's current wish]: alienate Kan Gu, drag the Demon King and Gu Xiangzhu to death, kill his youngest son, and completely capture the Xingyu Danhui.Reward for completing the wish: Comprehension value +10000, Alchemy Breakthrough Pill X1.
Zhao Ci: "..."
Lao Deng is Lao Deng.
What a far-reaching thought!
So evil!
But this does not prevent me from being a filial son.
Go home and do your filial piety!
……
After seven days.
The Gongdan Conference was earth-shattering.
Xingyu Danhui offered a super low price of ten taels of silver, completely destroying the entire Qi training pill market.
The alchemists of Feng Zhuyang's three families were so angry that they turned purple. They really didn't want to follow such a low price, but if they didn't, the underlying market for elixirs would be completely lost.
Although this bottom market is no longer profitable for them, losing it is more conducive to preserving capital.
But as time went by, the people and practitioners at the bottom only remembered the Xingyu Danhui when it came to elixirs, and had no idea what the Feng Zhuyang Sanjia was.
When they become successful in cultivation and choose higher-level elixirs in the future, will they choose you or Xingyu Danhui?
Yes!
When it comes to drug efficacy, everyone votes with their feet.
The strength of Ke Xing Yu Dan Hui's middle-end elixirs is also catching up.
If this does not stick to the underlying market, it will be overturned sooner or later.
and so.
and!
You have to bite the bullet and follow the money, at least not completely lose ground.
Anyway, the three families of Feng Zhuyang have a strong foundation and can still use it for a long time. Their wine refining skills have already seen signs of optimization. Sooner or later...
But twelve taels is too low!
This is still the case for the three families of Feng Zhu and Yang.
Xunmo and Lingyun, two alchemy shops that rejected Gu Xiangzhu's merger proposal last year, declared bankruptcy and were completely acquired by Gu Xiangzhu at a very low price.
no way.
Their main market is Qi Lian Dan.
After a year of hard work, they managed to reduce the price of Dan to 30 taels.
As a result, when I turned around, Xingyu Danhui had already reached [-] liang.
Last year, they had already tasted the pain. As long as there were elixirs from Xingyu Danhui on the market, no one would buy their elixirs. Life was very difficult.
This time they have to be tough again, not to mention how heavy the losses will be. The alchemists themselves will have to run away and defect to the Xingyu Alchemy Society privately.
Rather than ending in such an ugly way.
It's better to take advantage of the dignity and package all the belongings and sell them to Gu Xiangzhu, so as to save the capital.
And this Gongdan Conference.
The Tenth Prince's Mansion has also received a large number of orders, which translates into a massive amount of achievements, and it has been completely declared flat.
Fortunately, too.
They really lay flat.
Didn't take any tasks.
Forget about taking the mission.
I haven’t even been to the Zongren Mansion.
This made the princelings and the four princelings feel more at ease.
then.
A group of people who have already lined up are working hard to complete the task.
But it is obvious that he can no longer catch up with the Ten Princes in terms of achievements.
But it's okay.
If the Ten Princes only stayed in the alchemy field, they would be completely acceptable.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
Snow melts.
The grass grows and the warbler flies.
It’s spring again.
When the willows are green, the scenery is most pleasant.
at dusk.
Zhu Li rushed back to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
"Boss, boss!"
She ran to the practice room excitedly: "Boss, are you there?"
In the practice room.
Zhao Ci's breathy voice came out: "Here! Here! I'm practicing and it will be over soon. Don't come in."
"Oh!"
Zhu Li nodded and waited outside obediently.
The boss works too hard.
Practice every day.
Every time I practice Qigong, I am huffing and puffing.
a long time.
a long time.
"Squeak..."
The door opened.
A wisp of smoke drifted away without leaving a trace.
Some time passed.
Zhao Cicai walked out calmly.
Zhu Li grabbed his forearm and looked at him curiously for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what kind of skills do you practice?
It feels like you are very tired when practicing, but every time you finish practicing, you seem to be particularly calm.
Even the spirit seems to be particularly relaxed.
Like a sage who has no desires or desires.
Can you teach me this mental method?
My Yu Xinyan has been a little out of control recently, and I almost exploded today. "
Zhao Ci: "..."
The corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
How can we teach this sage-like state of mind?
I could only rub Zhu Li's head: "Okay, I will teach you when you grow up."
When I hear the word "grow up".
Zhu Li couldn't help but blush.
During this period, she had been writing to Zhu Jiang under the guidance of Gu Xiangzhu, mentioning the wedding.
Although it has not been successful.
But in her mind, the matter was settled.
Because except for Zhao Ci, there is no one in the world who can make her happy just by staying by his side.
But since the concept of "marriage" appeared, and she knew that the villains in the book were all naked, her heartbeat could not help but accelerate when she stayed with Zhao Ci.
The feeling of rapid heartbeat is very exciting.
She loves it.
But it always makes her Yu Xinyan lose control.
and so.
She never dared to openly marry Zhao Citi.
Zhao Ci didn't say anything, only "grow up" instead.
But even so.
Zhu Li still gets hot in her cheeks when she hears the word "grow up".
She quickly changed the topic: "Boss, what do you think I saw outside when I came back just now?"
"what?"
Zhao Ci couldn't help but ask, in the past three months, Gu Xiangzhu has been handling the Demon Sect's affairs.
He has been practicing.
Or do dual cultivation.
Or practice alone.
Crazy attempts to refine the Law of Destruction.
Don't say it.
Sometimes when you are angry, you can really mobilize a little bit of the power of the Law of Destruction.
Although it is only a little bit, it is also a qualitative improvement.
He couldn't beat Zhao Lian three months ago.
But if they meet alone, they will not be unable to escape.
All my heart is focused on cultivation.
Although the information is still well-informed, it is no longer so sensitive.
"Today I……"
Zhu Li was quite excited: "I saw a group of barbarians from the Four Kingdoms of Longyuan. They are so strong, their thighs are thicker than my waist!"
"Barbarian?"
Zhao Ci frowned slightly. In fact, he got the news when the Long Yuan mission entered the border of Dayu.
These people were leisurely and not in a hurry at all. It actually took them nearly three months to get to Linge.
He asked, "Where have these people gone?"
Zhu Li pointed in the direction of the palace: "The palace! I heard that they are a mission, and they seem to be holding a dust-cleansing banquet tonight."
Zhao Ci looked serious: "That's why you came back so early..."
Zhu Li grabbed Zhao Ci's wrist: "I heard they brought a lot of spices from the Northern Territory... Boss! Promise me and take me to eat, okay?"
[Zhu Li’s current wish]: Participate in the dust-washing banquet.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, Taotie Talisman x10.
Zhao Ci: "..."
Also at this time.
"Leave!"
A gentle voice sounded.
Zhu Li turned around first and hugged Gu Xiangzhu's arm affectionately: "Empress! Take me to the dust-washing banquet!"
She looked up.
She always liked this Concubine Jing.
Be willing to give money.
Be willing to give resources.
Kind attitude.
of course.
These are not the point.
The point is to look good.
Zhu Li had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and she felt a little cold before.
But recently.
His complexion became more and more rosy.
Especially today, it looks as beautiful as a delicate flower.
It seems as if it has just been moisturized by the spring rain.
Even as a girl, she couldn't help but admire her beauty in her prime.
"Good good!"
Gu Xiangzhu patted the back of her hand gently, and then looked at Zhao Ci: "Today's dust-cleansing banquet, your father has just ordered that all the founders and officials in Linge must participate. You can come with me!"
"it is good!"
Zhao Ci nodded. It seemed that the Long Yuan delegation really had a big plan when they came this time.
It just so happened that three months of retreat was too boring.
See what they are running for.
I don’t know if there are any “priests” among the more than 100 people on their trip.
Honestly.
He really wanted to fight against the "priest".
From Yang Heng's memory, Xiang Tiange was hunted down by a "priest" and hundreds of "god servants", but his vitality was not harmed.
If the "Priest" loses the "God Servant", it may be equivalent to Zhao Lian's strength.
If you fight.
The chances of winning should be slim.
But he wanted to see the reaction of each of the eight major clans when the "priest's" strength was exposed.
The Ten Princes and their entourage got on the carriage.
He rushed towards the palace in a mighty manner.
soon.
They rushed to the venue of the Dust Cleansing Banquet.
Take your seats according to your status.
Zhao Ci also glanced around as usual.
result.
really.

Zhao Ci: "???"
shepherd.
What I want is neither mutton nor wool.
But... Yunchao?
