Chapter 75: Shi Yan is domineering and arrogant, and all the families come one after another
King Ancheng sat on the chair and drank tea, while Li Duoshou sat on the side and looked at the furnishings in the room.
"Mr. Li, what did you see?" Putting down the cup, King An Cheng asked with a smile.
"It's just an ordinary house." Li Duoshou shook his head, and then said, "In the Fulin Building to the east, there are traces of incense everywhere, and there are monks fighting. One of them entered this courtyard, and it should be Hou Xiao. This person was imprisoned by Lin Ru
The defeat of the county prince is really unexpected."
"If it weren't for the extraordinary talent of the Marquis of Linru County, I'm afraid it would be hard for you and me to live in peace now," King An Cheng chuckled and shook his head, then asked, "Have you not found the monks in the enshrinement building yet?"
"No." Li Duoshou said expressionlessly.
"The people in the enshrining building are so uneasy," King An Cheng shook his head, "Thankfully King Gu's nephew is fine, otherwise the things that Gaozu told us would not be done well, and they would still be in the hands of Hou Andu.
, all the ambitions of the lonely king will come to nothing!"
Li Duoshou's eyelids twitched and he said: "When we find the person, we will punish him severely and then send more people." Then he added, "Someone is here."
Hou Andu walked in and went straight to the main seat to sit down.
"The county prince has come a long way to see the tea." Immediately afterwards, he said, ": Are you here this time for the sake of the Marquis of Linru County?"
"That's right," King An Cheng didn't take it seriously, "I know that my nephew has some conflicts with the prince, and he came here to make peace..."
Hou Andu waved his hand and interrupted directly: "You don't care about this, go back."
King An Cheng frowned, took a breath, and said: "My lord, of course the lonely king is here to make peace with the two families, but my nephew is also valued by many people. It is not a good thing if the lord is just forcing me."
.”
"I know the Marquis of Linru County, but I only know that if his brother was the one who staged a huge battle in Lingnan and was killed by the local monks, King Nankang, I know more, but Lin
The Marquis of Ru County..." Hou Andu paused, half-smiling but not smiling, "What kind of climate can he have?"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"My lord..." A middle-aged man dressed as a steward came in, glanced at King An Cheng, and said, "Shi Liu from the palace is here, saying he has brought your Majesty's oral instructions."
"The emperor's oral order?" Hou Andu glanced at King Ancheng, "Didn't you come under the emperor's order?"
King An Cheng said: "My lord, why don't you listen to what the emperor has to say?"
Hou Andu leaned back and said, "Let someone come in."
Soon, a man came up with slender eyes and a white face without beard. When he saw King An Cheng, he cupped his hands and said, "Liu Xiang has met the king. The king is well." He also saluted Hou An and said, "
Our family came here because of His Majesty’s oral instructions and to tell the Duke.”
"Say!" Hou Andu sat on the chair and received the ceremony.
Liu Xiang said: "I know about today's conflict. It was the Marquis of Linru County who bumped into the General's men. I will apologize to the General for him and let him hold a banquet another day to express my apology."
Hou Andu laughed, then put away his smile and said coldly: "He hurt my younger brother, robbed my things, and destroyed my industry. Your Majesty wants to expose him with just one sentence. It's too light."
Liu Xiang's expression changed slightly, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Our family is here to convey a message. The county prince is always loyal and is your majesty's right-hand man. The Linru county prince is your majesty's closest relative. No one wants to see discord between the two sides.
I hope..."
"I'll pretend I haven't heard this. It's a shame for Your Majesty. You can go back," Hou Andu waved his hand, ignoring the ugly look on his face, "It's not the turn of an eunuch to teach me how to do things!"
Liu Xiang's face turned red, but he dared not say anything in anger.
King An Cheng looked as usual, with a look of thought flashing in his eyes. He stood up and was about to say something.
Suddenly the steward came to report again that a Taoist priest had come outside the door.
Hou Andu frowned and said: "The Taoist priests from the Jianghu are here to report them? Just drive them away!"
The person in charge didn't leave. He looked at everyone in the hall and hesitated to speak.
"Say!" Hou Andu had no scruples at all and spat out one word. The steward finally said truthfully: "The Taoist said he came from Taihua Mountain and has an order from the Immortal Family. I don't dare to make decisions on my own."
"What are you doing here if the Taoist from the Xian family is not going to the enshrinement building? Are you someone sent by the imperial court again?" Hou Andu glanced at King Ancheng and others.
Li Duoshou said calmly at this time: "Taihua Mountain is one of the authentic sects of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and it also has a great reputation in the spiritual world. If you are really willing to obey the imperial order, then you are really lucky!"
"You don't need to remind me," Hou Andu snorted coldly, "You monks who seek refuge in the imperial court just think that among the six gates, those who are good at cultivation are just useless." After saying that, he turned around and said: "Let that Taoist come in.
I want to see what he is doing here."
Soon, a young Taoist walked in, it was Chui Yunzi of Yunxiao Sect.
He went to the hall and slapped Hou An on his head.
"Why are you here, Taoist Master?" Hou Andu asked calmly, not as arrogantly as before.
Youdao belongs to a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family, but these spiritual sects can trace their history back to three generations in ancient times, which is very shocking.
The long history is the most awe-inspiring, and even a person like Hou Andu cannot help but be a little more careful.
"So that the Duke will know that the Marquis of Linru County is a friend of my... senior brother. We have had some misunderstandings with the Duke. I came here specifically to make peace between the two families."
As soon as these words came out, both Hou And and Liu Xiang were stunned.
The influence of monks and Taoists in the Southern Dynasties is not small. If a Daguan Taoist comes to make peace with two nobles, one is a powerful minister and the other is a clan member, it is not outrageous. However, after all, the orthodox immortal sect in Taihua Mountain comes in a hurry.
A bit weird.
Hou Andu didn't care much about Chen Cuo at first, he just thought he was a chess piece of the clan, but now he narrowed his eyes and became suspicious.
Liu Xiang was about the same. He came here on orders and didn't know the details. He was suddenly humiliated and felt angry. But looking at this scene, the doubts in his heart diluted the anger a little.
What kind of person is that Linru County Marquis? Has he attracted the attention of the Immortal Sect?
Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Chuiyunzi didn't panic. He couldn't calm down in Guishan Temple, but he could still keep his thoughts calm when facing the secular dynasty.
This time, the reason why he came here was because he remembered his senior brother's instructions before leaving and used magic to secretly pay attention to Chen Cuo.
When Chen Cuo entered Fulin Tower, he sensed something and rushed over to seek support. When he arrived, it was already a step too late. He learned a little about the situation and came here again, wanting to sell his favor.
Hou Andu was silent for a moment and asked: "This Taoist priest, your senior brother..."
But he was only halfway through his words when a sound broke through the air!
There were several monks present. Even King An Cheng had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Each of them had a reaction. Hou Andu's expression changed even more, his face suddenly turned red, his whole body was surging with blood, and his eyes exploded with light!
He looked outside the house, alert.
On the horizon, a black dot appeared, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of me. It turned out to be a mahogany sword.
Li Duoshou and Chui Yunzi frowned.
Hou An was even more alert.
"magic weapon?"
"I come from the Kunlun Sect," a female voice came from the Taomu Sword, "Who is Hou Andu?"
Although she was asking, the tip of her sword was pointed directly at Hou Andu.
"That's it!" Hou Andu's expression changed when he heard Kunlun's name.
Kunlun is not Taihua Mountain. Not only is it famous and powerful in the spiritual world, but it also has a major connection with the common people. Even Hou An dared not provoke the emperor, but he did not dare to provoke Kunlun!
Then thinking about the people in the house and the reason for their sudden visit, he finally felt disturbed.
Could it be because of the Marquis of Linru County?
"The Marquis of Linru County has a conflict with you?"
Tao Mujian's question brought Hou Andu's mind back, and his face turned gloomy.
"Kunlun is interested in this person, don't even think about it." Tao Mujian ignored the others. After saying this, he turned around in the air and flew away without listening to Hou Andu's words of assurance, let alone any threats.
But the implication of those words was clear to everyone present.
Chui Yunzi looked calm, but his eyes showed anxiety.
Liu Xiang watched and listened to the whole process, and his heart was filled with huge waves. He couldn't help but be in awe of the Marquis of Linru County. He thought that after going back, he must tell His Majesty everything about today!
Hou Andu's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he was even more puzzled.
How could the unknown Marquis of Linru County cause such commotion? Even Kunlun was alarmed?
People from the clan came over to make peace, which was understandable, but it turned out that two Taoist sects also came, one with a bigger background than the other, something was wrong. Could it be that the Marquis of Linru County could enter the Immortal Sect's Dharma Eyes?
Inexplicably, he remembered what Hou Xiao had mentioned before, that the Houcheng Mansion in Linru County was not shallow.
Have you been pretending all this time? Want to be a blockbuster?
At this moment, King Ancheng chuckled lightly and said: "As far as I know, the Marquis of Linru County has a close relationship with several major temples. In a while, people from Buddhism may also come to visit, right?" After talking about it later
, he looked at Hou Andu.
General Hou frowned, but his expression calmed down.
After everyone leaves.
Hou Xiao limped over, and after asking a few questions, he asked cautiously: "Brother, are you going to let Chen Fangqing go like this?"
"Of course not!" Hou Andu narrowed his eyes, "I didn't think anything of it at first, but now I have to look up to the Marquis of Linru County. This person is from the clan, but he is valued by the Immortal Sect. He has grown up, so that's okay.
! It must be nipped in the bud! Of course, that person’s plan cannot be wasted because of this.”
Hou Xiao said: "What about the warning from the Immortal Sect?"
Hou Andu sneered and said: "I have always had no taboos in my actions. Even the emperor did not dare to ask. I am connected with the emperor's destiny. The emperor carries the destiny of a country. The immortal sect will really cause trouble because of a clan that has not yet gained power.
Chen Qiyun?"
"That's it!" Hou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but saw his brother looking over.
"However, in order to avoid causing trouble, I can't take action. There is a way to work around it. Even if they want to pursue it afterwards, they can't find me. It just so happens that you are seriously injured, so you can share my worries!"
Hou Xiao listened, not knowing the details yet, and his face already looked ugly.
