Shangyang City in Qizhou is the seat of Qizhou’s prefecture.
In late spring, the sky was already a bit tired. The long-haired cat with blue eyes lay lazily under the verandah, occasionally raising its eyes and looking maliciously at the gorgeous parrots hanging under the veranda.
"Idiot, idiot."
Several large, colorful golden-billed parrots were squatting on the bird stand, with their gorgeous feathers standing tall, angrily scolding the smelly cats that were peering at them from both sides. Their crisp calls immediately shattered the tranquility in the yard.
The spacious yard is lush with vegetation, and on the west flower wall, a morning glory blooms brilliantly.
Two Qi Masters who are proficient in wood magic have just injected abundant vitality into this flower stand. The morning glories that should have withered long ago are like mushrooms after the spring rain, growing vigorously and fiercely.
Purple-red flowers gathered densely on the flower stand, and the entire flower wall turned a dazzling purple-red color.
Lin Jingfeng, the governor of Weinan County, stood under the verandah with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the morning glory.
He hated morning glories extremely. Every time he saw this common flower at the foot of the fields and mountains, he would instinctively think of lonely graves, deserted lamps, and a piece of pale dead bones emerging from the dirt.
This is a flower that is too humble, as humble as the common people. In fact, it is not qualified to grow in the palace of the Marquis of Wei.
But his mother likes it. His mother, the first wife of Weihou, especially likes morning glories. This flower wall has been blooming in the Hou Mansion for more than a hundred years. Just hire Qi Refiners every year to reverse the flowering period so that these morning glories bloom all year round.
, the cost is no less than one hundred thousand taels of gold.
"Old lady, you have to have some quirks after all."
Lin Jingfeng could only remind himself this way.
"After all, she is Mrs. Weihou. She has no quirks. I'm sorry for her status."
Although he hates morning glories, his mother likes them, so he can only look at them with a bright smile.
There was a subtle and long breathing sound in the room. Just now, Lin Jingfeng's eldest brother, the eldest son of Weihou, and the future Weihou Ye Lin Jinglei had just entered to pay his respects to his mother. The time was also up, and Weihou, who had lost his vitality when he was young, had just entered.
Madam, you should have breathed enough requiem, now it's time to take a nap.
"Idiot. Idiot!"
A few parrots were still chirping. The two cats were spinning around under the bird stand, their eyes purring, thinking about how to jump on the bird stand and rip off the feathers from these damn long-haired beasts.
Gentle footsteps came. He was almost **similar to Lin Jingfeng. He was just a little plumper than him. His skin was fairer. Lin Jinglei, who was obviously used to pampering, walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Third brother."
"Brother."
The two brothers nodded to each other. Then they frowned at the same time and looked at the flower wall in the west.
Neither of them like morning glories. Compared with this humble flower, the two brothers prefer the beautiful and fragrant peonies, the strong and passionate roses, or the noble lotuses. These are all very good flowers.
With the Weihou Mansion's powerful position and almost monopoly on half of Qizhou's wealth, they had more and better choices. Even if they covered the courtyard with thousand-year-old spiritual flowers collected from the mountains, it would actually be a piece of cake.
"Old lady, I still like this thing after all."
Lin Jinglei sighed softly.
Waving his hand to drive the gorgeous morning glories away from his eyes, Lin Jinglei looked at his third brother in confusion.
"Over there in Weinan County, please don't cause trouble these days."
"If we don't go up and take a bite out of this fat piece of meat in Prince Luo's Mansion, the sky will strike us with lightning."
Lin Jingfeng nodded slowly and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Luo Prince's Mansion, one of the eight princely residences of the Kunwu Kingdom, Luo Prince's Mansion, which was like a prince's house, suddenly collapsed overnight with such a 'bang'.
The direct lineage of the Luo Prince's Mansion was executed on the spot, with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.
Countless distant relatives from the Luo Prince's Mansion were imprisoned and tortured.
The huge Luo Kingdom is now completely empty. The Luo King clan, which used to control countless interests in the Luo Kingdom, is now only seeking to protect themselves and has no time to take over the various powers and interests of the Luo Kingdom.
The person responsible for dealing with Prince Luo's Mansion was a force from a higher level that even the Kunwu Kingdom did not dare to provoke.
They act in the name of the Kunwu State Law Office, but insiders - people who are qualified enough to know the information know very well that the Kunwu State Law Office cannot control them. In the Kunwu State Dynasty, these people can even
Emperor Kunwu grabbed him from the throne and killed him on the spot.
They are not from the Kunwu Kingdom, so they don't care about the chaos in the Luo Kingdom at all.
They only wanted to complete their mission, capture King Luo alive, and then cleanse the King of Luo clan.
As for whose hands the future power of the Luo Kingdom will fall into, who will take over the huge profits from all walks of life in the Luo Kingdom, and whether there will be any changes in the power structure of the Luo Kingdom in the future, these people will absolutely not care about these things.
They don't care. There are people in the huge Kunwu Kingdom who care.
Luo Kingdom, such delicious and delicious fat meat, just one bite can increase the strength of a family several times.
The Weihou Mansion, Weihou's lineage, is only a fifth-rank family. Among the fifth-rank aristocratic families, the Weihou Mansion is considered to be an extremely powerful one. Moreover, it is a hereditary noble who shares the same status with the country. It is naturally stronger than ordinary fifth-rank aristocratic families.
A lot.
However, a fifth-grade aristocratic family is a fifth-grade aristocratic family. Regardless of its background and actual financial situation, there is a huge gap with the Luo Prince's Palace, which is a fourth-grade aristocratic family and is the top presence among the fourth-grade aristocratic family. Therefore, the Weihou lineage also has
He had a strong urge to bite off a large piece of fat from Prince Luo's body.
"Weinan County, among the three states, is the closest to Luo State. It is only separated by a branch of Sijueling."
"So you have the best conditions."
Lin Jinglei took a deep breath and looked at Lin Jingfeng with bright eyes.
"That's why my father specially called you back, and you already know the means he arranged."
"Forget about Weinan County, Weinan County must not be moved, messed up, or make any noise for at least one year."
"I devoted myself wholeheartedly to conquering the Luo Kingdom. Before the new master of the Luo King's lineage appeared, I tried my best to gain as much benefit as possible."
The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, with a strong and fierce light called ambition shining in their eyes.
They knew very well that things in the Luo Palace were a bit special this time. If the Luo Palace rebelled, then the entire clan of the Luo Palace would be wiped out. The royal family of the Kunwu Dynasty would choose their own elite descendants to succeed the Luo Palace.
The title and all benefits.
If that were the case, the Kunwu Kingdom would strictly prohibit local powerful people from interfering in the affairs of the Luo Kingdom, and the Luo Kingdom would become a reserved feast for the royal family.
But this time, what happened in Prince Luo's Mansion was too special. Those who would be killed would only be Prince Luo's direct relatives, a mere thousand people.
As long as the distant relatives of the Luo Prince's family are confirmed to have no involvement with the Luo Prince and are not involved in that matter, they will be able to survive this drastic change.
Special circumstances. Special treatment. The "Law" is strict and harsh, and the "Law" is cruel and merciless. But for the special situation of King Luo this time, the "Law" also clearly stipulates that only the chief culprit and direct relatives should be killed, and side relatives are not allowed.
It will move.
So according to the "Clan Law", the direct line of King Luo was destroyed, and the future Prince Luo Mansion will select elite talents from the branches of King Luo's lineage to take over.
I don’t know who the lucky guy is, but because this lucky guy is destined to exist, even if countless empty-hatted princes, princes, princes, princesses and other royal relatives in the royal family of Kunwu Dynasty are already drooling, they can’t.
Directly interfere with the interests of Luo Kingdom.
Everyone had no choice but to rush forward and take advantage of the empty and weak Luo Prince's palace to grab it frantically.
Whoever grabs it belongs to him. Whoever eats it will become stronger.
"The Hou Mansion has 70% strength, third brother, you can mobilize it. This time, it depends on your performance, third brother."
Lin Jinglei raised his hand and patted Lin Jingfeng's shoulder hard.
"Remember one thing, as my father has repeatedly warned me, when plotting against Luo Kingdom, your own territory must not be messed up."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jinglei lowered his voice and murmured carefully.
Lin Jingfeng nodded slowly, and the expression on his face changed countless times in an instant.
At the cusp of the storm, Weihou must sit in Shangyang City, guard all the family's connections, and provide convenience for Lin Jingfeng.
Lin Jinglei must come forward to fully supervise all the peripheral forces of Weihou's lineage, and provide Lin Jingfeng with manpower and material reinforcements.
Is he the second eldest son in the Weihou Mansion? I can't count on him for the time being.
Now, the only one who can charge into the battle for the Weihou Mansion and snatch the benefits naked is Lin Jingfeng.
In Lin Jinglei's detailed account, the Weihou Mansion's huge network resources and terrifying foundational strength gradually unveiled the mysterious veil in front of Lin Jingfeng. Lin Jingfeng held his breath and listened carefully to his elder brother's instructions, his body was shaking.
He trembled slightly subconsciously.
The Weihou lineage was the founding prince of the Kunwu Kingdom, and the old nobles who truly lived and died with the Kunwu Kingdom. When such a behemoth was operating at full strength, the terrifying power he erupted made Lin Jingfeng feel like
I am afraid that I am uncontrollable.
The Weihou lineage has such huge power to mobilize, so what about the other forces that are spying on the interests of the Luo Kingdom?
Lin Jingfeng completely understood the reason why his own territory could not go wrong. Everyone was competing for the interests of Luo State, using all possible means. At this critical moment, if there was any trouble in Weinan County, any force would impeach
If you look like that, it will make him sink into the sand.
"Stable, I understand, I understand, Weinan County will definitely be stable these days, and there won't be any problems here."
Lin Jingfeng took a deep breath, and bursts of cold sweat continued to flow from his heart. There were many powers in the Weihou lineage, some of which could only be touched by Lin Jinglei, the future prince. Lin Jingfeng touched a little bit this time,
He was already extremely frightened.
In the Four Jue Mountains, Yin Xuuge took back his hand and looked at the golden-red light on his body in surprise.
Like an extremely fine layer of phosphorus powder, after the small golden-red falcon collided with his body, it exploded into countless fine powders and stuck to his body. His whole body was spraying out dazzling phosphorus powder.
The golden red flame, without any temperature, can be three to four feet long when it is sprayed out.
The seven-round full moon looked at Yin Xuege tenderly. In the clear night light, he was like a huge light bulb. People with normal vision could clearly see his figure from more than a hundred miles away.
This is a strange secret technique, and Yin Xuege felt an abnormal commotion in the vitality of heaven and earth.
But what is the use of this secret technique? Is it just to turn yourself into a big light bulb?
He didn't know the origin of the falcon, and was thinking about how to eliminate the flames on his body. A transparent long sword stabbed out of the air behind him silently, and stabbed straight into his back.
The surrounding grass and trees were swaying, and the air was filled with a dangerous aura emitted by the grass and trees that only certain creatures could feel.
Legend has it that when certain strange plants and trees are attacked, the smell they emit can make similar people thousands of miles away feel the danger, causing their bodies to quickly secrete various toxins to defend themselves against being eaten by the enemy.
This is the strange instinct of plants, a kind of innate talent.
When the long sword appeared, Yin Xuege felt the danger coming from the suddenly strong smell of vegetation in the air.
Danger. Extreme danger, a danger that made his hair stand on end. A powerful enemy had launched an attack on him, and it was an enemy whose cultivation was far greater than his own, making it impossible for him to resist.
At least. At the very least, he is a strong person who can move Qi through hundreds of meridians. All the acupoints, hidden points and meridians have been opened through the Qi refining method he practiced.
**The power is at least around Baiding. And the power that the vitality in the acupoints can explode may far exceed the terrifying powerhouse of Baiding.
Yin Xuuge's body turned strangely.
It was three feet long. It was as thin as paper and as transparent as crystal. The long sword tore open his clothes, cut a bone-deep wound in the muscles of his back, and broke a bone in his back.
It pierced his left shoulder with a crisp sound of "Puff".
The body lunged forward, Yin Xuuge spread her legs and walked away.
He let out a sharp chirp, and the hummingbirds flying above his head took him without a word and ran wildly in the direction of Luo Qingqing.
When he rushed forward, the long sword separated from his body. Yin Xuuge turned around in the middle of his busy schedule and saw four vague figures flashing in the air. They were slim and slim, and their body shape was clearly defined.
They are four young women.
He has no enmity with women, except Luo Qingqing.
But these four women couldn't have been sent by Luo Qingqing, because the hummingbird didn't respond at all.
Some other force sent four ridiculously powerful women to assassinate him? There was an air of mystery about this matter.
Run away, run away as fast as you can.
When escaping, Yin Xuege subconsciously started to move with chaotic wind steps.
The Yinfeng Steps that come with the Yinfeng Jue are the steps of a third-level human being. It is extremely mysterious and unpredictable to move and dodge in a small area.
However, when running for long distances, the secret technique of Chaotic Wind Step of the ninth level is more than ten times stronger than Yinfeng Step.
Although it was the first time to use it, the Yin Feng Yuan Qi in the acupoints followed a special trajectory and circled in several meridians for a week before being sent out of the body. Suddenly, a large blue wind pattern visible to the naked eye appeared at Yin Xuuge's feet.
.
The sound of 'swish, swish, swish' could not be stopped, and Yin Xuege's running speed suddenly increased by 50%.
After using it for the first time and before it could be condensed into the unique talisman of the Chaos Wind Step, Yin Xuuge ran the Chaos Wind Step for the first time, and his running speed increased by 50%. The scene in front of him suddenly blurred, and he couldn't
Adapting to the sudden growth rate, I almost hit a big tree.
"We have no grievances, so why kill me?"
The body radiated a strong light, and four hazy figures quickly chased behind it. Yin Xuege ran wildly and shouted at the same time.
He threw his hands behind him, and the vitality containing the toxins of Curare Wood and Wolfsbane Vine in the acupoints spurted out silently, and a faint blue-gray finger wind spurted out more than ten feet away.
The corresponding arm meridians of the Poison Wind Finger have not yet been opened. He just forcibly drives the poisonous energy to pass through the body and release it out of the body. Therefore, the range of the Poison Wind Finger is extremely short, with an attack distance of more than ten feet. Compared with various attack methods in the Genriku world
Speaking of which, it's really a bit shabby.
The four figures didn't care about the poisonous wind he shot out. They ran rampant and bumped into the finger wind he shot out.
They did not dodge, but ran into Yin Xuuge's attack without a care.
What profound methods can a mere disciple of the Yin family in Weinan have?
Fragments of black and green magic patterns flickered in the thin finger wind, and the feminine poisonous wind gently penetrated into their bodies. The bodies of the four girls who were chasing Yin Xuuge froze slightly, and they felt a little numb at the same time.
It feels numb, and the skin is a little hot and itchy.
Curare paralyzes nerves and muscles; wolfsbane can erode limbs.
The two poisonous gases invaded the body at the same time. After all, it was a secret technique of the ninth level of the earth. Yin Xuege extracted enough plant toxins and injected them into their bodies almost at the same time.
The four people exclaimed at the same time and yelled angrily.
"When did the Weinan Yin family develop such a vicious method?"
The cultivation level of the four of them far exceeded that of Yin Xuege, and their original speed of skidding was at least twice as fast as that of Yin Xuege.
However, after being inexplicably poisoned by the poison in the wind, the poison quickly spread in their bodies. Their steps became particularly heavy, and their figures that had almost blended into the wind gradually became clearly visible.
Their speed quickly became almost the same as Yin Xuuge's. It was almost impossible to catch up with Yin Xuuge quickly.
"Damn it, when did the Weinan Yin family learn to use poison?"
The four girls were filled with hatred. If they had known this was the case, they would have at least activated a protective talisman in advance to avoid being plotted for no reason.
Yin Xuege was running ahead. They had marked his figure with the falcon talisman. If they couldn't kill him today, it would be even more complicated for Yin Xuege, who was vigilant, to kill him again.
They shouldn't appear here. They don't have much time. They must turn around before Lin Jingfeng returns to the prefect's mansion.
"Take the poison-preventing pill, chase him, and kill him!"
The four women shouted in unison, and each took out the miasma-repelling elixirs commonly used when walking in the mountains and threw them into their mouths.
However, the poison of miasma and the poison of vegetation are not the same thing. After the four women took the elixir, the toxins still existed in their bodies, but the activation speed was slightly slower.
Yin Xuuge took advantage of this opportunity and rushed out three or four miles away.
Suddenly a burst of laughter came from the front, and two young men in smart clothes suddenly jumped out of the darkness.
"Yin Xuege? It's you. It's no better. Good things will happen to us."
Hummingbirds high in the sky made a subtle chirp, and the smell of Luo Qingqing remained on the two young men.
Yin Xuuge was stunned for a moment, and then he roared loudly.
"Brothers, the four women in the back are fierce, you go up to them and I'll call someone!"
The two young men were stunned. Before they could figure out what was going on, Yin Xuuge had already rushed past them.
The four women chased each other one after another and quickly arrived in front of them.
The transparent long sword brought out a cold light and pointed at their fatal vitals. (To be continued...)
