As one of the sword-wielding families in Beihai, the Wu family can be said to be at the bottom among the seven sword-wielding families, but they are also the ones that cannot be provoked, because the Wu family is recognized as the person closest to the Wang family and the most trusted.
As a sword-wielding family, the most powerful thing about the Wu family is that they control the internal guards on the Imperial Army Mountain.
The Wang family in Beihai is very large and has many branches. In a sense, Wang Shengxiao, Wang Yuetong, Tang poetry and Song Ci, even Wang Tianzong, Wang Xiaoyao, Xia Zhi, Wang Qinglei...
One by one, generations of famous names in the dark world have all grown up under the protection and attention of generations of Wu family members.
Generations of clan chiefs in Beihai have completely entrusted their rear areas to the Wu family to protect them.
Therefore, the Wu family dominates the Holy State and controls the internal defense forces. It is the first barrier outside the Imperial Army Mountain and the last barrier for the entire Beihai Province.
The term "watchdog" is really a sour mentality. Even if it is a watchdog, it is the gatekeeper of the Wang family in Beihai. It is also the top wealthy family in the dark world.
And Huangfu Qiushui, after leaving Beikai, will soon become the first minister of the Eastern Palace Internal Guards.
She is still very young.
Li Tianlan will also have descendants in the future, and many high-ranking officials in the East Palace also have people they care about. In the position of Huangfu Qiushui, to put it bluntly, Li Tianlan is tantamount to handing over his future descendants and the family members of many high-ranking officials in the Eastern Palace to Huangfu.
Autumn water.
Li Tianlan trusts her so much.
Naturally, the attitude of other high-level officials towards her is not bad either.
The Eastern Palace will develop and become bigger and bigger, even surpassing the Beihai Wang Family.
The future is already obvious. As long as the East Palace is immortal and as long as Huangfu Qiushui has no different intentions, the future status of the new Huangfu family she founded after leaving Beihai will be similar to the Wu family's status in Beihai.
And, this is just a starting point.
If she can really become the Valkyrie of the Eastern Palace in the future, everything will be a different and more magnificent scenery.
Just...Huangfu Qiushui?
This name swirled around in Wang Shengxiao's mind all afternoon, and he couldn't completely connect this name with the Eastern Palace.
He and Huangfu Qiushui were not very familiar with each other. The girl was very timid when she was a child. When she was brought to the Imperial Army Mountain by Xia Zhi at the age of seven, she was as timid as a little rabbit. She often pestered Wang Yuetong and cried at every turn.
The kind of person who doesn’t dare to complain and feels aggrieved.
At that time, Wang Shengxiao had already begun to polish the foundation of martial arts. As an heir to a wealthy family, few people would have it easy if they wanted to do well. Wang Shengxiao had never gone to school and did not have the time, but he had not fallen behind at all in the knowledge he needed to learn. He was not an exam-oriented education.
From childhood to adulthood, there have been more than fifty private tutors around Wang Shengxiao. While other children went through elementary school, junior high school and high school just to get into a good university, what Wang Shengxiao wanted to learn was how to become an outstanding patriarch.
.
Even Ye Dongsheng, known as the Military God of Zhongzhou, was Wang Shengxiao's teacher.
At that time, the old ancestor of the Jiang family, Tian Dao, who had fallen into the hands of Li Tianlan, was still guarding the Imperial Army Mountain. He planted a small patch of sweet potatoes behind his palace. What Wang Shengxiao, a teenager, liked most was to eat it after a day of study and training.
Go steal the sweet potatoes from Mr. Tiandao. The sweet potatoes are big and juicy. They are stolen and roasted. They are fragrant and sweet.
Therefore, Wang Shengxiao's skill in roasting sweet potatoes can be said to be outstanding. He often took the roasted sweet potatoes to his sister, and the brother and sister ate them one by one. After Huangfu Qiushui arrived at Emperor Bing Mountain, he became Wang Yuetong's little tail.
, Wang Shengxiao would bake one more for Huangfu Qiushui. At that time, Xiao Qiushui was well-behaved and introverted. Every time he took it, he would whisper "Thank you, brother," and then watch him and Wang Yuetong play around, or play game consoles.
, then Huangfu Qiushui would watch quietly, holding his small wooden sword and following Wang Yuetong back and forth without making any noise.
In his memory, the most words Huangfu Qiu Shui said to him were probably the words "Thank you, brother."
Then, the brother and sister went to Youzhou and lived with Ye Dongsheng for a few years, while Huangfu Qiushui stayed in Dibing Mountain and they separated.
What next?
By the time they came back, Huangfu Qiushui had already begun to embark on his own training path accompanied by the masters of the Beihai Wang family.
Year by year.
Wang Shengxiao was exposed to more and more things and became busier and busier, while Huangfu Qiushui became more and more intense and cold.
Wang Shengxiao walked all the way in martial arts, and watched the little sister behind him tie the record he set in martial arts bit by bit.
Wang Shengxiao, who was born with both wind and thunder veins, took it one step at a time, controlling air, condensing ice, burning fire, and thundering. In every realm, due to his own physique, the various data he can leave behind can almost be said to be the limit data in that realm.
, some even surpassed Wang Tianzong back then.
Huangfu Qiushui followed slowly behind, slowly tying up these data bit by bit, and then broke through, silently surpassing Wang Yuetong in the martial arts.
Her fame began to grow, her light became more and more dazzling, her appearance became more and more beautiful, but she also became more and more silent.
Many times at gatherings of young people in Beihai, Huangfu Qiushui would sit silently in the corner. Except for being relatively close to Wang Yuetong, he would almost ignore everyone. When meeting Wang Shengxiao, she would call her brother and say hello, and then
Just continue to be silent.
At high-level gatherings inside Beihai, she spent most of her time by Xia Zhi's side, aloof, aloof, a little arrogant, and reclusive, just like Xia Zhi's shadow.
Xia Zhi said that her student was the future Valkyrie of the Beihai Wang family.
In fact, Wang Shengxiao has always felt that the future Huangfu Qiushui will be the shadow of the entire Beihai.
Wang Shengxiao really never thought that Huangfu Qiushui would betray Beihai.
That silent figure like a shadow walked quietly among the crowd of the younger generation in Beihai. She rarely spoke, but everyone was used to her existence. Before today, no one could imagine that she would suddenly
leave.
But what everyone thought was impossible has happened now.
Wang Shengxiao learned about Huangfu Qiushui's betrayal.
Even the live dialogue in the final exercise
Someone has copied it.
Of course Wang Shengxiao also heard all kinds of unpleasant words, such as bitch, slut, pretending to be noble, throwing herself into someone's arms on the spot, and so on.
But Wang Shengxiao still felt a little confused.
I don't feel angry much, but most of all I feel confused.
Huangfu Qiushui betrayed Emperor Bingshan.
is it possible?
Does her joining the Eastern Palace have a deeper meaning?
She is her mother's student, so with this move, is it possible that her mother blatantly dropped a chess piece into the Eastern Palace?
Is this a honey trap or what?
First gain trust with Li Tianlan, then grow up and strike back at the most critical moment?
Is this possible?
If this was possible, sending Huangfu Qiushui to the East Palace and Li Tianlan accepting it would be a psychological game between his mother and Li Tianlan.
What will be the result?
"It's her own intention, don't think too much about it."
In the evening sea breeze, Xia Zhi gently shook his head: "I'm serious. At this point, there is no need to hide anything from you. You are my son, how can I believe it or not? If I don't tell you clearly,
If you take Xiao Qiushui as your trump card, you may be in trouble in the future.
In fact, something has been wrong with her in the past two years. This child has been stubborn since she was a child. I regard her as my successor, but to be honest, her swordsmanship has never been very consistent with mine. In fact, this
It's okay. After she reaches the invincible realm, everything will be clear and there won't be any problems. But she happened to meet Li Tianlan. She has to admit that Li Tianlan's path is indeed the most suitable for Xiao Qiushui. In the past two years, you
Haven’t you noticed that her path has been deviating towards Li Tianlan?”
"The biggest problem is that I didn't pay enough attention to her. I knew what she wanted to do, but I didn't expect that she would be so deeply influenced by Li Tianlan. Li Tianlan met Xiao Qiushui when he came to Beihai more than two years ago. There must be something between them.
Things we don’t know.”
"Her character is like this. She must have been hesitating and struggling for more than two years in the past two years, right? After making up her mind, there is no room for redemption. She may feel a little guilty when she leaves Imperial Soldier Mountain and goes to Tiannan.
, but it won’t change anything. If you still regard her as one of your own, as my chess piece buried in the East Palace, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future. She will not show mercy when she goes to the East Palace and attacks us."
"So you think she may not know that this betrayal has brought us big trouble and will cause the brain drain of Beihai. How is this possible? Xiao Qiushui is a bit naive, but she is not a fool. She knows these consequences, but,
Now that she has decided to join the Eastern Palace, she can treat this as invisible."
Xia Zhi's voice is calm and gentle, to be precise, it is calm.
Wang Shengxiao glanced at his mother in surprise, smiled and said, "Mom, aren't you angry?"
How much Xia Zhi values Huangfu Qiushui, many people in Emperor Bingshan understand that this is a piece of rough jade that has been polished for many years since childhood. A girl who is not very special in physique can make her own beauty in the process of her own breakthrough.
All statistics are no less than Wang Shengxiao, who possesses the twin veins of wind and thunder, which is enough to show how evil Huangfu Qiu Shui is.
For Huangfu Qiushui, Xia Zhi really had high hopes, but now she was snatched away by Li Tianlan without a word. What was snatched away was not just Xia Zhi's students? What was snatched away was entirely part of the future of the Wang family in Beihai. Her character was already there.
She is very suitable for Li Tianlan's path. If Li Tianlan takes her back and trains her well, she may become a super combat power who can surpass the peak invincibility in the future. Such a master can be said to be a shadow to any force.
So even if we don’t talk about the subsequent brain drain in Beihai, just the departure of Huangfu Qiushui will be a huge loss to Beihai.
It is even more of a blow to the Summer Solstice.
But she's not angry?
The summer solstice was silent for a long time.
She looked at the sparkling sea in front of her. The setting sun was about to disappear, and the last rays of light illuminated the vast sea more and more dazzlingly.
Xia Zhi's eyes reflected an inexplicable brilliance, looking extremely complicated.
"I am angry."
Xia Zhi sighed softly: "I am also disappointed, but at the same time I am also a little happy."
She was really angry.
Although she had vaguely sensed something from Huangfu Qiushui's swordsmanship, Xia Zhi had always felt that she could correct the student's path before getting the news. After she graduated from the two colleges, she would designate a special training for Huangfu Qiushui.
He made a plan to forcibly correct her swordsmanship, but she didn't expect that it would be too late.
When I first got the news, it started a few hours ago, just after the final exercises of the two houses.
After hanging up the reporter's call, Xia Zhi sat in her room without moving for nearly two hours.
Betrayed by the student I taught with all my heart for many years...
That kind of disappointment seemed like a big piece of my heart suddenly felt, filled with strong anger and loneliness.
But in the end, she adjusted her emotions.
Just like what she told Wang Shengxiao now, she was very angry and disappointed, but also very happy.
The smile on Wang Shengxiao's mouth gradually became stiff.
He didn't know what to be happy about.
"happy?"
His voice was a little confused.
Huangfu Qiu Shui was not the chess piece arranged by Xia Zhi for the Eastern Palace, which meant that Huangfu Qiu Shui's betrayal was a real betrayal. He lost his own students and his years of hard work were in vain. What's so happy about this?
"Minister of Internal Security Forces..."
Xia Zhi smiled and said calmly: "It's a very valuable position, but her most critical position is Li Tianlan's personal assistant. Believe it or not, Huangfu Qiushui will soon become Li Tianlan's woman, and the entire dark world will know about it.
this matter."
The corners of Wang Shengxiao's mouth seemed to twitch in embarrassment a few times, and he shook his head subconsciously: "Mom, you may not understand... what position does that woman Qin Weibai hold in Li Tianlan's heart? Qin Weibai will not like Xiao Qiushui,
As long as she doesn't like it, Li Tianlan
I will never touch her. Qin Weibai will not agree to this matter of becoming Li Tianlan's woman."
"you are wrong."
Xia Zhi said softly: "If Xiao Qiu Shui doesn't go to Li Tianlan's bed, that woman will not agree. It is true that Qin Weibai will not like Xiao Qiu Shui, but there are some things that cannot be controlled by simple likes or dislikes. I see
Guo Qin Weibai, and I am also a woman.
You don't know how I feel when I see Qin Weibai, it's like looking into a mirror. Strictly speaking, we can be said to be the same kind of people.
Your father only has me in his life. For hundreds of years, the Beihai Wang family has had only one wife. It is estimated that your father is the only patriarch of the clan. Even you have Tang poems and Song lyrics around you now, but your father only has me. Why do you think?
Am I jealous?"
Xia Zhi smiled: "Actually, that's not the case. If your father wanted to have another woman, I would not like it, but I would not object. From then to now, I still have the same attitude. As long as he can be happy, I will
If I am willing to do anything for him, what does it mean to find a woman? I may be very angry, but seeing him happy, I should be very happy, right?"
"He has only had me for so many years. He feels that he is very happy this way. That's why you don't have a baby mother or aunt."
"Qin Weibai is also such a woman. As long as Li Tianlan feels happy, even if she doesn't like it, she will accept it. This has nothing to do with wronging herself. It is just a very pure idea of hoping that her man can be happy. Maybe it is a bit morbid, but the fact is
That's it. If Li Tianlan is not happy, she will not be happy either. In comparison, a woman is really nothing.
Qin Weibai won't like Xiao Qiushui, but she does need people like Xiao Qiushui. She needs such a character beside Li Tianlan, a man who can betray his family and his teacher for a man, as long as he is with Li Tianlan.
A character who will be very happy. A character who is desperate for everything, no matter what worldly pressure, no matter what dilemma, who doesn't think about anything, and wants to be together no matter what."
"She wants people all over the world to see that no matter how such a character is discussed in the outside world, the person involved is happy."
Wang Shengxiao's body shook inexplicably.
He suddenly realized what Xia Zhi wanted to say.
So after being betrayed by Huangfu Qiushui, his heart, which had always been a little gloomy, felt inexplicably relaxed.
Wang Shengxiao looked at Xia Zhi and said in a daze: "Mom, you mean..."
Xia Zhi took a step forward, gently touched the Xiongxiong Stone in front of her with countless names carved on it, and said softly: "Qin Weibai may not like Xiao Qiushui, but I can feel that she has good intentions towards Yuetong."
Wang Shengxiao fell silent.
"So, rather than saying that she wants the whole world to see it, it is better to say that she wants Yuetong to see that even if Xiao Qiushui betrays the family and betrays Beihai, she can still live a long life in the East Palace.
Very happy."
Is it for Yuetong to see?
Wang Shengxiao frowned.
He couldn't evaluate whether this approach was reasonable for the moment, but he was certain that it did seem like something Qin Weibai could do.
If Yuetong sees what happened to Xiao Qiushui, no matter whether she will betray the family like Xiao Qiushui, at least... the burden on her heart will be much lighter, right?
"At least, when the news gets out, your sister will feel less stressed."
Xia Zhi's voice was very soft: "It's been three years and I miss her so much."
Wang Shengxiao pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That girl is a bit stupid."
"yes."
Xia Zhi gently agreed.
"Actually, I don't mind that she went to the East Palace when she left Beihai. Since she can't let go, being together is the best choice. At least she doesn't have to be in a dilemma. There's really no harm in being selfish.
She left that year and went to the East Palace to be the hostess of the East Palace, and I wouldn't feel uncomfortable. She is a child after all. How could she be able to carry the grievances between the Li family and the Wang family? Since she can't,
Then don't carry it, I said this."
Xia Zhi took a deep breath and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But she still couldn't get over her own hurdle. She didn't want to let go of us, and she couldn't let go of Li Tianlan, and she couldn't make both parties put aside their grudges, so she simply ran away. Three years...
.She is determined not to come back."
Both mother and son fell silent.
"It doesn't matter if you don't come back..."
I don't know how long it took before Wang Shengxiao murmured: "It's okay to go to the East Palace. Why hide it? No matter whether you go home or go to the East Palace... No matter what happens to both parties in the end, no one will embarrass her...
.I won’t blame her..."
"It's much better than now, there is no news at all..."
"Your sister is fine."
Xia Zhi said softly: "I hope she can make up her mind after knowing the news about Xiao Qiushui..."
"Yue Tong is my daughter, and Xiao Qiushui is my student, but after being with me for so many years, she is also my daughter. If Yuetong entered the East Palace regardless of her care, I would have been angry, but in the end I still can't blame her.
She, Yuetong is like this...how can I blame Qiu Shui?"
Xia Zhi smiled to himself.
Wang Shengxiao took a deep breath, shook his head vigorously, and forced his thoughts to change: "Huangfuyi called me an hour ago."
"Hmm. How should I say it?"
Xia Zhi asked subconsciously.
Huangfu Yi is now the head of the Huangfu family in Qiushui City. Now the news that Huangfu Qiushui betrayed the Beihai Wang family and also the royal family must have spread throughout Central Continent. No matter what happens, Huangfu Yi must express his position first.
"He said that he would just pretend that he didn't have this daughter and let me handle it at my full discretion. If necessary, he would be willing to personally enforce the clan rules."
There is nothing to say about the so-called clan rules. Whether it is the Beihai Wang family or the Qiushui Huangfu family, there is always only one outcome for traitors.
Wang Shengxiao looked up at the sky.
The sky is getting dark.
"Calculating the time, Qiu Shui should be getting off the plane."
