Mrs. Xianhua opened the door and walked in slowly. Behind her was the old housekeeper Wei Yan.
Marquis Pingding sat at the sandalwood table, glanced back at Mrs. Xianhua, and suddenly shouted:
"Kneel down!"
Mrs. Xianhua was startled: "Master, what are you doing?..."
"I told you to kneel down, didn't you hear me?"
Marquis Pingding slammed the table, his eyes widened angrily, and a cold murderous intention flowed in the air.
Mrs. Xianhua's expression changed. She could feel that Marquis Pingding was really murderous towards her. If she dared to hesitate again, she might be killed in the next moment.
Mrs. Xianhua knelt on the ground with a bang, lowered her head, and did not dare to speak.
At the door, the old housekeeper Wei Yan's expression changed and he was about to leave.
"Wei Yan," Ping Dinghou suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with cold electricity: "You don't have to go out."
"Yes, sir."
Wei Yan hesitated for a moment, walked in, and closed the door.
"Why, are you still meeting me with this face?" Ping Dinghou said coldly.
Wei Yan's surprise was no small matter, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"No, I've been discovered." His body scurried away, and he subconsciously wanted to escape.
"Huh!" With a cold snort, Wei Yan had just jumped three feet when an invisible pressure fell on his head, pressing him to the ground, unable to move.
Mrs. Xianhua knelt on the ground, flustered, her eyelids twitching: "It's over, the Marquis found out!"
Marquis Pingding suppressed Wei Yan with one palm, without even looking, his eyes fell on Mrs. Xianhua:
"You are so brave! I left the Marquis Mansion to you, and you actually dared to collude with people from outside the country. Even under me, you dared to plant people from outside the country. Do you think you can hide this from me?
?——Who gave you the courage to do this? Colluding with outsiders is a capital crime according to the Dazhou law. You even dare to do this, what else do you dare not do?! You
Could it be that you want to enter the clan mansion?"
Mrs. Xianhua's face was as pale as ashes, but she calmed down after hearing Marquis Pingding's last words.
"Master," Mrs. Xianhua raised her head, bowed her hands slightly, and said, "Mr. Liu has been running the Hou Mansion for twenty years. Everything she did was for the sake of the master. Yes, I did collude with people from the Tianxie Sect.
, and even I am the daughter of an elder of the Tianxie Sect. I did hide this from the master, but I ask myself, everything I do is for the sake of the master. If the master wants to punish, Mrs. Liu has nothing to say."
After saying that, he lowered his head and said nothing.
The silence in the wing was terrifying. Marquis Pingding stared at Mrs. Xianhua, with murderous intent flashing through his eyes from time to time. No one knew what he would do next!
"Hahaha~" Wei Yan returned to his original appearance. He lay on the ground, his eyes moved, and he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed:
"Marquis Pingding, you are really scheming. It turns out that you knew all the things a long time ago, but you deliberately turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye. Why, now you feel the importance of our Tianxie Sect and want to use us
The power?"
"Humph!" Ping Dinghou snorted, but he did not get angry.
Mrs. Xianhua also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her master had no intention of killing her.
"Tianxie Sect, you can't be the master yet. Go back and tell your sect leader to find someone with some weight to come! Those at the celestial level and below the Earth Transformation realm don't need to come here!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, Mr. Hou. I will return to Tianxie Mountain right away. - Our sect leader is waiting for these words from Mr. Hou!"
"Wei Yan" finished speaking, soared into the sky, opened the window, and took advantage of the darkness to fly out. After a few flashes, he disappeared without a trace.
…
In the Yingwuhou Mansion, the lights are brightly lit.
In the study, all the counselors and close generals were gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Sir, what should we do now? This move of Sifang Hou is clearly intended to scare you, and at the same time, to eliminate the impact of your being granted the title of Marquis!"
Jia Fu stood in front of Yang Hong, bowed and dressed.
"He has succeeded. Now the generals, generals, princes in various states, civilian princes in the capital, and even some noble princes have begun to look at their own strategies again. The princes of Sifang are too forbearing, and the force he has shown is unparalleled by any
No one can ignore it.”
Zhuge said in a deep voice.
"The current situation is that everyone is looking at you. If you don't do anything, I'm afraid it will be considered weak and disadvantageous to you. If you take action against Sifang Hou... If it were before, there might be no problem. But today
After that, you have to be very careful. Although Sifang Hou has not been canonized as Wu Hou, his strength is not inferior to any Wu Hou at all. If you take action against such a person, I am afraid that even the Human Emperor will not agree.
"
Liu Bo spoke, and in one sentence he explained the embarrassing situation Yang Hong was facing.
Yang Hong closed his eyes and meditated, with no expression on his face. His left hand was stroking the Panlong Ring, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There was silence in the study. The three counselors and several powerful generals all had their eyes flashing, thinking crazily of countermeasures.
"Sir," Zhuge raised his head: "If you want to deal with someone, you must first understand his purpose. The Sifang Marquis has tolerated it for so long, but suddenly took action today and no longer hides it. He has only one purpose, and that is to intimidate
Sir, people are wary and don't dare to take action against Fang Yun. My subordinates think that Sir, you just need to find a breakthrough in this."
"Sir, why don't you let me go to Ansu City and kill Fang Yun directly!"
A military general wearing armor suddenly took a step forward and said, his breath was like ocean waves, sometimes slow and sometimes quick, and within three feet, there was a faint sound of the ocean tide.
"Huh?" Yang Hong suddenly opened his eyes, a ray of cold light shot out from his eyes: "Back off!"
The general who spoke felt his heart skip a beat, but he didn't dare to disobey. He lowered his head and retreated.
"Zhuge, please continue."
"Sir, the Human Emperor has already punished you once for Fang Yun's matter last time. I believe that this time, it is not appropriate for you to take action yourself. Not only that, none of us in the Yingwu Marquis Mansion can take action."
"You mean...to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Yang Hong said calmly.
"That's right. This matter needs to be done so that everyone knows about it. But the blame cannot be placed on the Lord. In this way, the Sifang Marquis can't find an excuse to take action, and the Lord has also made his position clear to everyone, - The Lord of Wuhou
, no blasphemy allowed! Anyone who offends the Lord will have to pay the price!" Zhuge said.
"Fang Yun is already a warrior of the Nine Dragons. It may not be easy to find the right person to kill him!" Liu Bo frowned and said.
"Don't worry about this candidate. I know it well," Yang Hong nodded slightly: "Continue talking."
"There is no need to rush about killing Fang Yun. There are several things that are more important than this. First, Fang Yun was directly promoted to General Pingbei in a short period of time. Although he was talented, it was because of someone who promoted him.
.The first thing you have to do is to clip its wings!" Zhuge said coldly.
"Marquis Zhongxin..." Yang Hong narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Secondly, your Excellency has just appointed Wu Hou, and you must establish your own prestige. In this way, even if your Excellency has not fought against Fang Yin, no one will dare to despise you. Therefore, your Excellency must establish your military exploits and establish your prestige as soon as possible. This time is extremely important.
The sooner the better! Regarding the place and object to establish your power, you must also choose a good place. It is best to be somewhere not far from the territory of Sifanghou!"
Yang Hong tapped his fingers, thoughtfully: "...Nanming Hai Clan!"
"That's right, the biggest threat to my steel ship sailing on the sea is from the Hai Clan. If you suppress the Hai Clan, it will definitely shock the world!"
Zhuge responded.
"Well," Yang Hong nodded slightly: "That's it!"
The next day, a sentence from the Military Aircraft Department came out from Shangjing City:
"Zhang Ren, the loyal and trustworthy Marquis, did not lead effectively, which led to the Di tribe going deep into the middle of the country and plundering the people, which is a disservice to the emperor. Therefore, he was removed from the post of commander-in-chief of the three armies in the northwest and ordered to return to the mansion to recuperate and wait for the consequences!"
When the news reached Ansu City, Fang Yun's face changed slightly:
"This Yang Hong actually took action against Marquis Zhongxin!"
Zhongxinhou was favored for promoting Fang Yun. After Yang Hong was conferred the title of Wuhou, he had the power to mobilize the army. His move was clearly to take revenge on Zhongxinhou Ba for taking Fang Yun with him.
"Sir, in addition to this news, Marquis Zhongxin also sent someone to deliver a letter."
Your Highness, Chu Kuang said.
"Well, bring up the letter."
Fang Yun took the letter, opened it and read it again.
"It turns out that Marquis Zhongxin had anticipated this situation a long time ago and said that he could just rest at home and avoid the upcoming storm."
After reading the letter, Fang Yun felt much calmer.
"Since Yang Hong has already taken action against Marquis Zhongxin, I'm afraid he will take action against me next. I must improve my skills as soon as possible!"
Fang Yun closed his eyes and started practicing again.
"Buzz!"
In the main hall, there was a flash of light, and three golden scrolls appeared in the darkness.
The third scroll is about cultivating essence. Fang Yun has been practicing the techniques on this scroll for some time. However, unlike the first two scrolls, Fang Yun can only cultivate powerful essence, but there is no way
Transform this powerful essence to increase the strength of your body and internal energy.
After a while, Fang Yun opened his eyes.
"No, I have the Immortal Zhi Lingcao in my hand and three ferocious beast inner elixirs. A powerful spirit is just a matter of fingers. But my spirit cannot communicate with the force and spirit. If we cannot communicate, we cannot transform.
It cannot be considered as entering the spirit level. What is the problem?"
Fang Yun's eyes widened in thought, and after a moment, he thought thoughtfully: "I know, the kidneys are the internal organs of water and fire, connected to the heart and lungs. What others lack is the power of the powerful kidney source, but what I lack is the ability to
The power of the kidneys is a method of converting it into strength. The technique of "refining essence and transforming qi" is easy to obtain, but the technique of powerful kidney source is hard to find. As long as I get a technique of refining essence and transforming qi, I can enter essence immediately.
Soul level, power increases dramatically!"
When Fang Yun thought of this, he immediately became cheerful. There were many generals in Ansu City, but they were all at the Chi level and were of no use. As for the generals, Fang Yun looked down on some of the warrior skills of the Six Dragons.
At least the generals of the Ten Dragons Power are mostly arrogant. This kind of unique skill may not be passed on to them even if they come to visit them.
"The method of refining and transforming Qi is still very popular outside the country. All I need to do is sneak into a certain sect or capture a certain spirit master and force him to learn the secret!"
