Xu Ziyang smiled and said: "Grandpa, in recent years, the country of Tiannan has become rich and powerful, and the emperor has dominated the country. First, Zhang Changling, Wang Chongde and others have stabilized the country and ruled the country, making Tiannan increasingly prosperous; later, there was the iron-blooded army of the Mu family.
By establishing a foreign country, the people of our dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Sitting in the southern part of the country, with an edge in the mainland, the emperor will naturally have peace of mind. However, as the ruler of a dynasty, what will the emperor do when both the inside and outside are safe? "
At this question, Xu Liefeng's face darkened, and he praised: "In the past, when a foreign army rose from the south of the world, seven kings supported each other, the emperor had great plans, plans, and ambitions. Only then did he have peace and prosperity, and now the country is peaceful and the people are safe. He should be content.
only……"
Xu Ziyang did not answer, but listened with a smile. Xu Liefeng said with a worried look: "Zhou Renguang's ambitions are boundless. Grandpa has always been worried that he will be dissatisfied with the status quo and plan to build a bigger business."
"That's right." Xu Ziyang nodded and said: "My grandfather must be more aware of Zhou Renguang's character than Ziyang. Now he is over sixty years old and is about to die. He also ended up with a tragic end without a descendant because of the accident in the past. Tiannan Heshan
Wanli, how could he be willing to give it up to others? Although his grandson has not been in this dynasty these years, he has always paid attention to the trends in Tiannan. In the past, three of the seven kings died in the battle, and the family fell. The remaining Xiang Bohou, Dao
Bohou, grandpa, Mu Hongtu, there are five of you, Shangguan Lingyun."
"I remember that at the beginning of our dynasty, Zhou Renguangren performed virtuous acts and rewarded lands and titles, but it was also done by the Ming Dynasty. However, a few years ago, Xiang Bohou suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown in Yunzhou. Immediately afterwards, Dao Bohou was granted
The fiefdom was transferred to Jingzhou. In the eyes of outsiders, these two people were heroes of our dynasty, and it was understandable that they were given fiefdoms. But these two places were barren and poor, and there was no richness. Grandpa did not feel that Zhou Renguang was slowly gathering military power.
Repay kindness with evil?"
After hearing this, Xu Liefeng was not surprised. He nodded and said: "You are right. I have considered this matter before. Zhou Renguang's move is indeed counterproductive. However, Xiang Bohou and Dao Bohou have no intention of fighting for power. They only want to enjoy peace of mind."
On the other hand, even if Zhou Renguang goes too far, it doesn't matter."
At this point, Xu Liefeng was suddenly shocked and said in a deep voice: "Zi Yang, are you worried that Zhou Renguang plans to expel all seven kings including us?"
"That's exactly the truth." Xu Ziyang said: "Grandpa, the news you sent to your grandson is that the election of the Southern Chamber of Commerce that day was a move against Shangguan. I believe Shangguan Lingyun also smelled it. Zhou Renguang deliberately took advantage of it.
It is the emperor's intention to eradicate this scourge of the Shangguan family with the help of my Xu family. However, after this move, only my Xu family and Mu family are left among the seven kings. Zhou Renguang needs the iron and blood of the Mu family to guard the mountains and rivers, and he will appease him, but I
Where is the Xu family?"
Xu Ziyang smiled coldly, with a hint of joking flashing across his lips: "My grandson will never believe that from now on, the Xu family can still dominate the world in Tiannan."
Xu Liefeng said solemnly: "So you deliberately agreed to hand over the claim for 5.6 million grains of silver to Feng Jueyu just to make my Xu family show weakness in front of Zhou Renguang."
"That's right." Xu Ziyang said proudly: "5.6 million is indeed a huge amount of money. Even the Xu family will be hurt, but if it is taken out, Zhou Renguang will definitely put down his guard against the Xu family for a while.
, give us enough time to plan for big things in the future."
Xu Liefeng comforted him and said, "You have matured a lot in these years. Grandpa is very pleased."
"Grandpa." Xu Ziyang's voice gradually became lower and he said sincerely: "You have sent your grandson away for many years, and you have said that you have a big plan, but your grandson has always been puzzled about what the big things grandpa said are. Now that grandpa summons his grandson to come back, I think it will happen.
At this time of urgency, please tell your grandson what exactly happened back then?"
"Back then?" Xu Liefeng closed his eyes after hearing this, and said after a long time: "I can't hide this from you anymore. You are right. I asked you to come back just to plot a big plan. Back then..."
Xu Liefeng recalled: "When the Tiannan Army was establishing its foundation, it once discovered an extremely secret ruins of aristocratic families. There was a maze of unimaginable luxury. I remember that day, Mu Hongtu led the army in the center, and the four princes were scattered in all directions.
, only I, Zhou Renguang, and Shangguan Lingyun entered the maze. The maze was unimaginably large, and it took the three of us three days to see through it and go deep into it. There are three underground palaces in the maze, and there are many mechanisms, but after I and others passed by
After some investigation, the three of them found that only one person can enter these three underground palaces in order to obtain the treasures in the palace."
"The treasure in the palace? What is it?" Xu Ziyang asked with a frown.
Xu Liefeng took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he said with greed: "The wealth of the country."
"A country's riches?" Xu Ziyang's heart sank. Xu Liefeng was well-informed. He thought that he was one of the richest people back then. He could utter the words "a country's wealth." Needless to say, there must be one of the three palaces at that time.
A great treasure exists.
Xu Liefeng said quietly: "There are countless treasures hidden in those three palaces. Grandpa, I am responsible for one of them. After entering, I found that I had been sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Everything inside could make the entire continent crazy. But
This is not the most terrifying thing. What is terrifying is that there is an incredible treasure in the palace, which is the famous sword: Zhanshang."
"What?" Xu Ziyang gasped and said in surprise: "Isn't that Zhan Shang's sword from a famous general hundreds of years ago?"
Xu Liefeng said: "Indeed, the rumors about Zhan Shang are not a great secret, but Zhan Shang is unique in the palace. It is placed in the most conspicuous and central position. It can be seen at a glance that there is nothing around it, which highlights its supreme status.
.So grandpa decided that Zhan Shang was the best treasure in that palace. Not only that, grandpa had carefully observed that in addition to the clear name of the sword engraved on the sword body, Zhan Shang also had a strange inscription on the back.
Imprint."
"What kind of mark is it?" Xu Ziyang asked.
Xu Liefeng shook his head: "Grandpa can't explain it clearly. There is no way to study the mark."
Xu Ziyang thought for a while and then continued: "So grandpa rejected the war as his own and didn't tell Zhou Renguang?"
Xu Liefeng nodded and said: "Not only that, when I came out, Shangguan Lingyun and Zhou Renguang were also outside. They also discovered the treasure that would make the country rich. But when we ordered people to take out everything, I
They found that none of the treasures they found could compare to Zhan Shang."
Speaking of this, Xu Liefeng's eyes shone with cold light.
Xu Ziyang suddenly said, "So grandpa thinks that there are treasures comparable to Zhan Shang in the other two rooms, but they didn't tell them, but deliberately covered up the real facts like grandpa?"
"That's right." Xu Liefeng nodded his head and said: "Zhou Renguang is the king. Naturally, he entered the palace in the middle, which represents the highest status. Think about it, how could there be nothing better than Zhan Shang in that room?
Baby? There is also Shangguan Lingyun. The room that grandpa is in charge of is far opposite to it. His status is not bad at all. Is it just precious stones, gold and silver and other vulgar things? "
Xu Ziyang let out a long breath and said: "My grandson understands. Grandpa, Shangguan Lingyun and Zhou Renguang have not mentioned this matter in recent years, but it does not mean that they did not get good treasures. On the contrary, everyone wants to know what they got.
.”
Xu Liefeng smiled coldly: "You are right, that's why Zhou Renguang found me and Shangguan Lingyun at the beginning of the founding of the country, and ordered us to make a poisonous oath. Even if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, we will not leave Tiannan.
His intention. Zhou Renguang is doubting us..."
Xu Ziyang understood and said: "It's not surprising. If it were his grandson, he wouldn't tolerate such a valuable treasure. Zhou Renguang didn't mention it for many years because both the Shangguan and Xu families had the power to disturb the government and the opposition. Now he
I want to use the Xu family to deal with the Shangguan family. I think I can't bear it anymore, so I can't wait to get Zhan Shang and another thing. This shows that Zhou Renguang knows the secret that we don't know."
"I think so too." Xu Liefeng nodded, and then said angrily: "Before you came back, Zhan Shang was lost. Following the century-old Tian Xuelian, I believe that at this moment, Shangguan Lingyun and Zhou Renguang must have sent someone to look around. Fortunately, that person is
It belongs to me, Tiannan, and when my grandfather got the news about the war, they had no way of knowing it."
When Xu Ziyang came back, he also heard about the loss of Zhan Shang. He thought carefully for a moment and then said: "Grandpa, you have been searching for Zhan Shang's secret for many years but to no avail. Presumably the key to Zhan Shang is not the sword body, but the sword body.
That mark, Grandpa, can you draw this mark so that my grandson can identify it through the master's door?"
Xu Liefeng nodded, and immediately drew a mark similar to an "S" shape on the paper. This mark was a bit like rising clouds of smoke, but also like a majestic burning flame, which was particularly weird.
Xu Ziyang glanced at it for a few times, carefully put the paper away, and asked: "Grandpa, can the person who stole Zhan Shang be found out?"
Xu Liefeng shook his head and said: "No, everyone only knows that this person calls himself the "Evil Emperor" and has appeared twice in Tiannan City. Other than that, there is no news or rumors about them, but it seems that this person
Someone once saved Feng Jueyu."
"Feng Jueyu, is it him again?" Xu Ziyang came back this time with great ambitions. Unexpectedly, on the first day he returned to Tiannan, he would be set up by Feng Jueyu, that Tiannan trash. Now in this battle
Xu Ziyang was inevitably a little surprised when Feng Jueyu was involved in the accident.
Xu Liefeng snorted and said: "This trash has ruined many good things in our Xu family recently. I don't know if he is really talented or if he is just a blind cat that killed a rat. In short, he relies on Shangguan Lingyun's backing to be arrogant.
Ziyang, if you have the chance, you must teach him a lesson."
Xu Ziyang nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandpa, Ziyang hasn't taken this person seriously yet."
