The crescent moon was in the sky, and the half-marked curved hook hung diagonally on the corner of the west sky. The silver light cast by it slightly reflected Ning Yongnian's tall and straight figure.
Liu, Wei, Xu, Buddhism.
The emperor of Daning knew very well that it was impossible for him to deal with these four forces at the same time, but he could make these four families fight each other, and he only had to reap the benefits.
However, no one is stupid.
Therefore, Ning Yongnian needs to create a situation in which no one can survive alone and must participate in this huge storm that will sweep the entire Daning.
Now, with the death of Xu Shixing, the Xu family has entered the scene.
Then there are Liu, Wei, and Buddhism...
"Hoola!"
A small golden dot suddenly appeared on the horizon. Accompanied by several rapid hawk calls, a large golden-feathered eagle suddenly landed on Ning Yongnian's left arm with its wings flashing.
Open the small iron cylinder tied to the claw and take out a message.
Ning Yongnian looked at it several times, and immediately a faint smile appeared on his face.
"It should be very lively. I really want to see it with my own eyes."
...
...
A few days later.
The sudden disappearance of Xu Shixing, the head of the Xu family and Minister of Household Affairs, has become known to everyone in the capital. On the surface, the Xu family is acting as normal, but secretly they have sent a large number of people to find the truth behind it.
Others may not know it, but the broken life tablet in the Xu family ancestral hall shows that Xu Shixing is dead.
The answer to who did it is not as difficult to find out as imagined.
When clues and traces all pointed to the palace, the Xu family still pretended to be unaware and did not act rashly.
I don't know if they are waiting for a clear result or a suitable opportunity.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Wei Changtian who is far away in Shuzhou.
Although Wang Er has already written about this matter in a letter, the Xu family has nothing to do with him. What is more important now is how to deal with the conspiracy from the Liu family.
"..."
"Grandpa, I'm going to trouble you again this time."
In the dark room, Wei Changtian said a little embarrassedly: "The intelligence said that the Liu family may send a second-grade person here this time, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle it then."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter!"
Qin Zhengqiu laughed twice, his face rosy: "Anyway, I have nothing to do on Jiuding Mountain. Since the Liu family is so murderous, let's just kill them this time so that they don't dare to think about you anymore, my grandson!"
"I think so too."
Wei Changtian touched the tip of his nose: "Grandpa, if possible, I will bring more masters from Tianluo Sect this time."
"good."
Qin Zhengqiu nodded briefly and concisely, then hesitated a little, as if he had something to say.
Wei Changtian asked in confusion: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Ahem, Changtian, I have something to discuss with you."
Qin Zhengqiu thought for a moment and said seriously: "After the Liu family incident is over, I want you to be the holy son of Tianluo Sect."
"I?"
Wei Changtian looked surprised.
"Son?"
The so-called saint sons and saints are actually the preparatory successors of larger sects. Their identities are similar to those of princes in the palace, but they do not value blood as much as the succession to the throne.
Although the specific candidate is still decided by the leader of the sect, if one's own children are too crotch-stretching, the title will often fall on other disciples in the sect who can convince the public.
Fortunately, Qin Zhengqiu's children are quite ambitious, so the current Holy Son of Tianluo Sect is Wei Changtian's second uncle, Qin Maoqing.
And if nothing unexpected happens, after Qin Zhengqiu returns to the west, he will take over the position of head of Tianluo Sect.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."
Wei Changtian never expected that Qin Zhengqiu would suddenly ask him to be the Holy Son.
Although it sounds very cool, doesn't it make you offend others?
"Haha, Changtian, don't worry too much."
Seemingly guessing Wei Changtian's concerns, Qin Zhengqiu smiled and said: "I have already told Mao Qing about this matter, and he has no objection."
"Uh, but..."
Wei Changtian originally wanted to find any reason to refuse, but he hesitated when he saw the expectant expression on Qin Zhengqiu's face.
This old man probably thinks that he will become an immortal in the future, so he is planning to do a "interest binding" in advance...
Although he went in the wrong direction, Wei Changtian guessed Qin Zhengqiu's plan by accident.
To be fair, he didn't want to cause such trouble.
There are just other sects, but Tianluo Sect is the number one "devil sect" in Daning after all!
Coupled with his already extremely bad reputation... If he really becomes this "devil", wouldn't he be yelled at and beaten by everyone in the future?
But having said that, Qin Zhengqiu did help him a lot after all...
"Grandpa."
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian made a decision.
"If you really think I can take on this important task...then I will give it a try."
"..."
"Hahahaha! Good, good! Good!"
"Then the matter is, well, settled!"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Hearty laughter echoed in the dark room, and it was obvious that Qin Zhengqiu was happy from the bottom of his heart.
But those few coughs seemed a little painful.
Wei Changtian hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, are you okay?"
"Ahem, it's okay."
Qin Zhengqiu smiled and waved his hands: "As I get older, my body is not as strong as young people."
"oh......"
Wei Changtian murmured for a while, wondering if a second-grade warrior could still get sick?
"Grandpa, is it that your previous injury hasn't healed yet?"
"That little injury is no longer a problem."
Qin Zhengqiu shook his head and did not continue the topic: "Changtian, since you have agreed, I will make arrangements after I return."
"The specific date... will be tentatively decided on February 14th, the day of the Waking of Insects."
"ah?"
Wei Changtian was stunned.
Today is already the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, and there are less than twenty days until Jingzhe is full.
He originally thought that such a big event would have to wait for a year and a half.
"Grandpa, isn't it a bit... too hasty?"
"It's a matter of time anyway. If I finish it earlier, I can feel more at ease." Qin Zhengqiu insisted.
Peace of mind...
It's the same as making arrangements for funeral arrangements.
Wei Changtian was speechless for a while, but he didn't worry about it anymore.
"Okay, let's follow what grandpa said... By the way, do I need to prepare anything before that?"
"There's nothing to prepare, just people arriving."
Qin Zhengqiu thought for a moment and then added: "However, there may be disciples who are dissatisfied by then, and I'm afraid you will have to defeat these people yourself."
"Oh, this is simple."
After defeating Xiao Feng, Wei Changtian was extremely confident in fighting between the same ranks, so he did not take this matter to heart.
He nodded to show that he understood, and was about to ask something else.
But an idea suddenly popped into my mind at this moment.
"Grandpa, um... something doesn't seem right."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"That's it... Judging from the current situation, I will be the Holy Son of Tianluo Sect after the day of Jingzhe."
Wei Changtian raised his head with a complicated expression.
