Chapter 360 Key Figures (3)
In the Yan Dynasty, in the royal forest garden, there was a sea of extremely gorgeous Christmas cactus flowers that stretched for hundreds of miles.
There were several exquisite pavilions with the aroma of fine wine in the air. Lu Yi, Xuan Xing, Ling Wuyou and Qing You were sitting in the pavilions, enjoying the view and tasting the wine. Various snacks and delicacies were served to them in a continuous stream. They were really happy.
Yun Zai Tian, the third prince of the Yunluo ancient country, was shy, like a real little eunuch. He carried a small wine pot and diligently poured wine for Lu Yi and others.
There's no way, he's afraid!
The Yunluo Ancient Kingdom and the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty have been sworn enemies for how many years?
The sects behind the two countries, Baoguang Pavilion and Canghai Tower, are not much different in strength, and both have strongholds all over the world. They are the kind of "commercial sects" that buy low and sell high and hoard goods. As the saying goes, competitors are enemies. Baoguang Pavilion and Canghai Tower are all-round competitors.
The masters behind them are not at odds with each other. Naturally, there is a small fight every ten years and a big fight every hundred years. They fight for territory, for resources, or simply for a moment of anger, or for a bet from the top leaders of the sects behind them, and they fight until their brains are about to spit out.
Of course, although the relationship between the two countries was extremely bad, the war that lasted for many years devoured the flesh and blood of countless soldiers and civilians.
There is also a tacit unspoken rule between the two countries - core members of the royal family must not be harmed!
It is understandable that a few collateral and unfamiliar members of the royal family were killed or injured on the battlefield - such deaths and injuries could also be used to show loyalty to the clan behind them, right?
Look, for the sake of the sect's cause, we have even lost many of our clan members. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to not give us any reward?
There are both merits and benefits.
However, core members of the royal family, such as Yun Zai Tian and Xuan Xing, who are qualified, capable, and have sufficient background to compete for the throne, are absolutely not allowed to have any accidents.
In a word, it doesn’t matter how many running dogs and lackeys are killed or injured; their lives are worthless.
However, core clan members like Yun Zai Tian and Xuan Xing were the "nobles" who were high above them, and their lives were their lives. If one of them was killed, it would inevitably trigger a violent backlash from the immortal dynasty, ancient country, and even the clan behind them!
If it were any other prince or princess of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, Yun Zai Tian would never give in!
Because he knew that those princes and princesses would abide by the unspoken rules of the major dynasties, and everyone would play within the rules, so his life was not in danger, so he naturally did not need to act too much of a "softie"!
But this guy Xuanxing!
In the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, the throne can be inherited by the princess!
Xuan's mother was born in a noble family, the youngest daughter of the current owner of Canghai Tower. She was spoiled since childhood and acted quite lawless. Xuan was her mother's only child. Don't be fooled by her gentle and lovely appearance in front of others. In fact, she was a lawless, wanton and even more difficult "crazy girl" than her mother.
Xuanzhen might not kill Yun Zaitian directly.
But now we have Lu Yi, a good knife, right? If Xuan Xing really lets Lu Yi do something to Yun Zai Tian, and Lu Yi "takes the blame and escapes", Xuan Xing will deny all responsibility, then Yun Zai Tian will suffer in vain, right?
In particular, if he was really "cleansed" by Lu Yi, would Yun Zai Tian still be able to live as a human being in the future?
Even if there is a magic medicine that can regenerate severed limbs and restore the body, after this news gets out, how can Yun Zai Tian still be qualified to compete for the throne?
Therefore, Yun Zai Tian was like a real little eunuch, diligently pouring wine and serving dishes to Lu Yi and others, making Lu Yi and his party, especially Xuan Yi, feel comfortable!
Xuanxuan and Qingyou chatted quietly for a few words, then glanced at Yun Zaitian and suddenly chuckled: "Third Brother Yun, you have come to this day too? Hee, are you really scared?"
Yun Zaitian's face drooped, then he quickly put on a smile: "In front of the Ninth Princess, I, Yun Lao San, of course, am afraid... Haha, my future is uncertain, but you, the Ninth Princess, have great hopes of ascending the throne!"
Gently pouring a glass of wine for Xuan Xing, Yun Zai Tian said with a smile: "Perhaps many years later, I will be an idle prince, and the Ninth Princess will be the mistress of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty. When we meet old friends, it will be my turn to pay my respects!"
Xuan Xuan laughed happily: "Old friends meet? You and I are not old friends. Over the years, I have recorded every word you said to me and to Xuan Yan Xian Chao in your account book!"
She glanced at Yun Zaitian and said, "Just wait, there will be a day when you will suffer!"
She picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Qingyou's, and then drank the wine in one gulp: "Then, sister Qingyou, it's settled... You, Qingning, and Qingmeng will join my Nine Heavens Army! I will organize a battalion of 9,000 people for you three sisters, all of whom are pure sword cultivators. I guarantee that you will be able to command them with ease."
Lu Yi rolled his eyes and glanced at Qingyou sideways.
Well, a bunch of crazy girls got together.
Xuanzhen showed great enthusiasm and sincerity in recruiting the three girls from Qingyou. No matter why she was so eager to recruit the three girls from Qingyou... this was a good thing!
The Jiutian Army is Xuanxuan's private army and her loyal confidants. If she can ascend to the throne of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty in the future, the Jiutian Army will be the backbone of her royal guard.
If the three Qingyou girls are willing, Lu Yi will certainly be happy to see it happen.
But, if Xuanzhen ascended the throne.
Lu Yi looked at Ling Wuyou, who was sitting next to him and had a red face from drinking - no wonder this guy could so easily suppress so many competing brothers and ascend the throne of Xuan Dynasty so efficiently in such a short time.
So, he is having an affair with Xuanxing?
Lu Yu could see that Ling Wuyou and Xuan Xing were not in an ordinary boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but had a relationship that was kind of sticky and unclear!
However, after he ascended the throne, you, Ling Wuyou, as the emperor of a vassal state... is this considered marrying into the wife's family? Or marrying into the wife's family? Or marrying into the wife's family?
As a son-in-law... Well, Lu Yi is too lazy to worry about Ling Wuyou, as long as he is happy.
A little further away, in another pavilion, four beautiful women in gorgeous palace dresses were sitting at a small round table, smiling, sipping the top-quality spiritual tea that they had looted from the Yan Dynasty's treasury.
Around the four beautiful women, there were faint wisps of glow lingering, and terrifying forces of heaven and earth gathered around them. Their every move would cause the void within a radius of ten feet around them to vibrate, and various small-scale but magnificent and blurred visions would erupt from time to time.
These are four powerful masters who have achieved the Neng Dao Fruit.
That is Xuanxun's protector.
Two of them were from Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, and two were from Canghai Tower. The two protectors from Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty were just fine, their strength was almost the same as the two old men killed by Lu Yi.
But the two beautiful women from Canghai Tower made Lu Yi feel a little bit of danger.
Xuanzhen and Qingyou drank more than a dozen cups. Together with the wine she, Ling Wuyou, and Lu Yi had drunk before, she had already drunk nearly three jars of aged wine brewed with various spiritual herbs and fruits, which had an extremely strong alcohol content.
Xuanxuan, with a flushed face, took a pair of chopsticks and tapped the plate in front of him gently.
She looked at Lu Yu and suddenly laughed: "Master Fahai, I, Xuanxuan, have never been too lazy to hide anything... So, I will just say it directly if I have something to say."
"As for me, I can't stand my brothers and sisters. They are a bunch of incompetent trash who can do nothing but eat, drink and have fun. If the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty falls into their hands, it will certainly not be destroyed, but its future will be bleak."
"I think I am the best candidate for the next emperor of Xuanyan Dynasty... My mother thinks so too."
"So, I want to fight for the throne."
"My mother's family background is extremely powerful, but among my competitors, there are also a few bastards whose mothers are powerful factions in Canghai Tower. I can't just rely on my mother being the youngest daughter of the owner of Canghai Tower to bully them unscrupulously, right? After all, people have to be convinced."
"I hope that Master will give me the credit for conquering the Hellfire City of Yan Dynasty and count it as mine!"
Xuanzhen looked straight at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi nodded gently: "Good, I have no desire for fame and fortune, I just want to..."
Xuan Xing coughed lightly: "Can you, not be so hypocritical?"
Lu Yi swung his sleeves and laughed loudly: "In that case, then, Princess Nine, I will help you ascend the throne, capture the Hellfire City of the Yan Dynasty, and capture the royal family of the Yan Dynasty. I will give you the credit, but first of all, all the floating wealth of the Yan Dynasty will be mine!"
Xuanxuan nodded: "Okay, I'm not short of money!"
Lu Yi gave Xuan Yan a thumbs up and said, "So generous... Then, secondly, after the Ninth Princess becomes the queen of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, can you appoint me as the Imperial Master?"
Xuan Xuan hurriedly shook his head: "Impossible...Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty and Xuan Dynasty are completely different in size. Master Fahai killed Yun Lao San's two protectors with one shot. With such strength, he is qualified to be the national teacher of Xuan Dynasty, or even their emperor."
Ling Wuyou looked at Xuanzhen with resentment.
Xuan Xi shook his head and said, "However, with Master Fahai's cultivation and power, he can play an important role in my fight for the throne and become an important helper for me, but he cannot make the final decision."
Xuan Xuan said very frankly : "Master Fahai, you can be a very important minister beside me, but you are not an irreplaceable minister. This is the foundation of my Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty... Wuyou's Xuan Dynasty is still too weak."
Lu Yi nodded and said, "Then, when the Ninth Princess is done, I will only have one privilege. I can preach on the territory of Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty... I can freely choose famous mountains and rivers to build a branch of Jinshan Temple. On the land of my branch, officials of Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty at all levels are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of Jinshan Temple."
Yun Zai Tian laughed sarcastically at the side: "Ninth Princess, you better think it through. This evil monk wants to be granted land and territory."
Xuanxun waved his hand in a grand manner and said, "If Master's merits are great, what does it matter if I grant you a fiefdom?"
"However, brothers, we should be clear about the accounts. How many lower houses can you build in the future? How big the area of each lower house can be, how many privileges and resources it has, it all depends on how much merit you can establish!"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "That's great. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. We will trade openly and no one will take advantage of the other!"
Just as he finished speaking, a breeze blew by, and clouds rose from the ground. Between the wind and clouds, dozens of figures quietly emerged.
