Yihua Palace
In an elegantly decorated but somewhat empty boudoir, sunlight shines into the room from outside the window and falls on the white stone bricks, making the entire room bright.
At this time, Lianxing is still wearing the plain white dress of the past. Although it is simple, it still gives people a beautiful feeling against the backdrop of Lianxing's beautiful face.
Sitting slightly casually at the table, with his eyes lowered, Lianxing's eyes slowly swept over the book in his hand.
As the words fell into his eyes one after another, Lianxing's beautiful eyes flashed from time to time, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
At this time, with the sound of rapid footsteps coming from outside, a Yihua Palace disciple also walked outside the door: "Second Palace Master, a letter from the First Palace Master."
Hearing the sound, Lianxing put down the book in his hand and turned his head to look at the door.
After glancing at the hand of this Yihua Palace disciple, Lianxing put down his script and gently turned his right hand.
As the zhenqi circulated, a finger-thick bamboo tube held above the head by the Yihua Palace disciple at the door was pulled into Lianxing's hand by a special force.
As the paper rolled up in the bamboo tube was unfolded, the words on it were immediately printed in Lianxing's eyes.
"Come to Yushui City."
It was a simple five words, but there was an irrefutable feeling revealed in the handwriting. As well as the handwriting of these words, Lianxing was sure that they were written by Yao Yue himself.
Seeing that Yaoyue asked him to go to Yushui City, Lianxing couldn't help but have some doubts on his face.
"Sister actually asked me to go to Yushui City?"
Although Yao Yue did not reveal any information to Lian Xing.
But Lian Xing is the second palace lord of Yihua Palace after all, so it is not difficult to understand Yao Yue's movements.
Combining all the changes that had happened before Yao Yue returned to the palace, it was not difficult for Lian Xing to deduce that the man Yao Yue had fought with Dongfang Bubai before was in Yushui City.
But out of awe of Yao Yue, Lian Xing didn't dare to ask any more questions without Yao Yue taking the initiative to mention it, and he didn't even dare to go to Yushui City to find out.
But he didn't expect that Yaoyue would take the initiative to let him go to Yushui City at this time.
But the next second, Lian Xing's eyes lit up as he came back to his senses.
"Could it be that my sister wants to introduce my brother-in-law to me?"
As Yao Yue's sister, Lian Xing naturally knows Yao Yue very well.
It was also for this reason that Lian Xing was curious as to who in the world could make Yao Yue fall in love with him. Even after returning to Yihua Palace, he missed him every day.
After thinking about this, Lianxing destroyed the note in his hand and said slowly: "Yue Slave."
As soon as the voice came out, Hua Yuenu, who had been guarding the door, immediately took a few steps and walked to the door of the room and said respectfully: "Second Palace Master."
After walking out of the room and walking in front of Hua Yuenu, Lianxing pursed her lips and said, "Sister asked me to go to Yushui City. You will be temporarily responsible for the recent transfer of Hua Palace. If there are any problems, send a message to Yushui City as soon as possible." In the water city."
Faced with what Lian Xing said, Huayue Nu bowed and said, "I obey your orders."
Seeing this, Lian Xing suddenly moved towards the outside of Yihua Palace with his true energy flowing.
At the same time, south of the Ming Dynasty, Guangming Ding was on top.
In the main hall of Mingjiao, Dongfang Bubai sat on a chair that looked like it was made of glass.
Under the golden crown with tied hair, she wore a long black Liuxian dress, which gave Dongfang Bubai a sense of solemnity in addition to the domineering and arrogance that seemed to be carried from his bones.
However, unlike when he was at Chu Qinghe's house, what was under Dongfang Bubai's skirt at this time was not leg socks sewn from black jade silk, but black trousers cut from fine silk. The socks cover it tightly.
Under these nine steps, Bao Dachu, Tong Baixiong and other elders of the original Sun and Moon Sect, as well as Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and others of the Ming Sect were all standing in front of the steps.
Yang Xiao also reported what happened recently.
It has been more than two months since the incident at Guangmingding.
Although the Mingjiao at this time had been merged into the Sun Moon God Sect by Dongfang Bubai, it also involved the merger of two first-class forces. All businesses and strongholds under the two forces, and even the original personnel, needed to be adjusted. If you want to finish the matter, how can it be done in a short time?
Not to mention that it now involves Dongfang Bubai moving the headquarters of the Sun and Moon God Sect to the top of the light.
You can imagine how complicated the things involved are.
Therefore, during this period of time, Dongfang Bubai has many things that need to be dealt with every day.
For a long time, after Yang Xiao and others below reported all the events of the day, everyone looked at Dongfang Bubai and waited patiently for Dongfang Bubai's decision.
On the other hand, Dongfang Bubai closed his eyes and pondered, his fingertips unconsciously moved on the armrest of the seat, and his brows were lightly frowned.
Dongfang Bubai is aware that the Mingjiao has declined over the years, and its deterrent effect on some powerful forces within the jurisdiction of the Mingjiao is no longer sufficient.
But I didn't expect that it would be so different.
Not to mention Emei, the second-rate forces such as the Kunlun Sect, and even some third-rate forces, relying on some nepotism and pretending to be powerful, actually dare to secretly have their own evil thoughts.
As a first-rate force, the money it can collect every month in these years is almost equivalent to the monthly income of a second-rate force.
If it weren't for Mingjiao's previous foundation, I'm afraid monthly expenses would be a problem.
After a while, Dongfang Bubai finally asked: "Have the backers behind these forces been investigated clearly?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiao quickly raised his hands and said: "Returning to the leader, it is already clear that except for Emei and the Huashan Sword Sect, the Giant Whale Gang and the Changhe Gang have all taken refuge in Dongchang or Hulong Villa."
"Dongchang, Hulong Villa!"
Listening to what Yang Xiao said, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but frown slightly, and suddenly felt a little troublesome.
Although the current Dongfang Bubai has entered the realm of Grand Master, and the Sun and Moon Sect under his command has become more powerful after annexing the Ming Sect.
But compared to Cao Zhengchun, who was in charge of Dongchang, and Zhu Wuwu, who founded Hulong Villa, it seemed inferior.
If the forces within the Mingjiao all rely on Dongchang and Hulong Villa, it will indeed be a thorny problem for Dongfang Bubai.
However, just when Dongfang Bubai was frowning and thinking deeply about the situation before him, Zhou Dian, a member of Wu San from the original Ming Cult, quickly entered the main hall.
"Report to the leader, the Giant Whale Gang, the Changhe Gang, the Luo Jianmen..."
After reporting the names of more than a dozen second-rate forces and more than thirty third-rate forces, Zhou Dian took a breath before continuing: "These other forces have just paid back the taxes that they originally owed to my teaching for more than ten years. Come up, a total of 4,370,000 taels of silver."
When the voice came out, Tong Baixiong, Wei Yixiao and others all looked stunned.
Yang Xiao even said: "Why do these forces pay these taxes together now?"
Zhou Dian responded: "I don't know, but they pulled a cart and a cart to the foot of Guangmingding to pay these taxes just a stick of incense ago."
On the high platform, Dongfang Bubai pondered for a moment and then asked: "Who are behind these forces?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Return to the leader, what Zhou Dian just said is that he has taken refuge in the forces of Hulong Villa."
"Hulong Villa, is Zhu ignoring it?"
While thinking quietly, Dongfang Bubai seemed to think of Bai Xiaosheng's message in Chu Qinghe's yard asking Chu Qinghe to help Zhu Rong ignore the treatment. A flash of understanding appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised an arc. .
However, in the next moment, the smile on the corner of Dongfang Bubai's mouth quickly disappeared, and he returned to his previous cold posture.
"Yang Xiao, Tong Baixiong, you two each lead the people from Fenglei Hall and Five Elements Banner to recover all the taxes that other forces have owed the Mingjiao over the years. Anyone who doesn't follow will die."
"Subordinates obey orders."
Faced with what Dongfang Bubai said, Tong Baixiong immediately responded.
But Yang Xiao on the side looked embarrassed.
"Um?"
But before Yang Xiao could think about it, the next moment, a sound broke through the air.
A ray of energy instantly passed through the clothes on Yang Xiao's shoulders and fell on the ground behind Yang Xiao, blasting a three-foot-sized hole in it.
Sensing the movement behind him, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yang Xiao's body. He quickly knelt on the ground and responded: "Master, forgive me."
With his head lowered, feeling Dongfang Bubai's gaze falling on him like an ice knife, the cold sweat on Yang Xiao's forehead began to slip from his cheeks and then dripped to the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone else in the hall was shocked.
Wei Yixiao wanted to speak, but when he noticed the signal from Tong Baixiong beside him, he immediately closed his mouth.
For a moment, the entire hall became silent.
It was not until three breaths later that Yang Xiao felt the completely devoid of warmth eyes on him move away.
At the same time, Dongfang Bubai's cold and domineering voice slowly sounded.
"Seeing that you just followed my leader, I don't care about what happened just now, but if you dare to hesitate in my words next time, that ray of true energy will not just pass through your clothes."
Hearing this, Yang Xiao quickly said: "I understand."
After snoring coldly in his heart, Dongfang Bubai said coldly: "Bao Dachu stays, everyone else, go down."
As soon as the voice came out, Yang Xiao and others quickly stood up and walked out of the hall.
While walking, Yang Xiao, who had just had a brush with death, still looked frightened, obviously very frightened.
After everyone else left, Dongfang Bubai looked at Bao Dachu and said, "Have you finished what I asked you and Sang Sanniang to do?"
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's question, Bao Dachu quickly said: "Return to the leader, according to the leader's instructions, Sanniang has secretly sent all the special and rare medicinal materials in the Ming Cult to Mr. Chu. Judging from the message my subordinates received today, the things should be delivered to Mr. Chu’s residence today, but..."
However, at the end, Bao Dachu paused for a moment and then continued: "It's just that Ping Yizhi himself is interested in the exotic flowers and herbs in the Ming Cult. Now the leader has ordered all these things to be sent to Mr. Chu. Now Ping Yizhi has already He hid in his room and went on a hunger strike for three days, saying he wanted to starve to death."
"During this period, some disciples in the sect who wanted to be treated by Ping Yi Zhi were turned away by Ping Yi Zhi. They could only be treated by Ping Yi Zhi's disciples."
When speaking, Bao Dachu's tone also sounded a little helpless.
So why is there such a thing as an "old kid"? Nairaichi is obviously an old man in his seventies, but he acts like a child when he gets angry. Such a big man goes on a hunger strike behind closed doors. One out.
After learning about Ping Yizhi's situation, Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly.
But after thinking for a few moments, Dongfang Bubai shook his head again.
Unlike other people in the Sun Moon God Sect, this flat finger is extremely useful, and it was also because of this flat finger that Dongfang Bubai was able to optimize the "Sunflower Book" safely.
Treating this flat finger, Dongfang Bubai naturally received many benefits.
However, Dongfang Bubai had only wanted to give the medicine to Chu Qinghe, but he forgot to point his finger here.
But knowing Ping Yizhi's nature, Dongfang Bubai didn't feel too embarrassed. He reached into his arms and took out a bottle, then poured out a few antidote pills in the bottle and threw them to Bao Dachu. Dongfang Bubai said: " Let Ping YiZhi study these pills, and tell Ping YiZhi that these pills can suppress the onset time of any poison in the world."
Bao Dachu, who received the detoxification pills, couldn't help but show a bit of astonishment after learning about the effects of these detoxification pills.
When he saw the effect of the detoxification pill in his hand, his eyes shone, but after a moment, he quickly collected it and bowed before leaving.
After Bao Dachu left, Dongfang Bubai's thoughts began to flow and he recalled what had just happened.
Looking back, Dongfang Bubai felt at this moment that since meeting Chu Qinghe, not to mention the changes in Dongfang Bubai's own strength and cultivation.
Even with some of the things he encountered, things went smoothly.
Looking back now, I think it was in line with Sun Baifa's words of "prosperous wife".
So let’s not talk about the personality issues between Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
Just based on Chu Qinghe's "prosperous wife" attribute, how could Dongfang Bubai give up the position of the main palace to Yao Yue?
Afternoon, no time.
Yushui City.
"Hurry up, hurry up, you are using "Moving Flowers to Connect Jade" so awkwardly, the time it takes to gather special power in "Moving Flowers to Connect Jade" is enough for a warrior of the same level to kill you nine times."
"You react so slowly. Do you think you haven't been beaten enough?"
"When faced with an attack, you only know how to dodge but don't know how to fight back. Are you preparing yourself to die from exhaustion when facing the enemy in the future?"
"The stupidest way to fight against an enemy is to use them as they see them. When facing an enemy, every time you fight, you have to take into account the moves that the opponent may use next in order to be methodical."
In the courtyard.
Chu Qinghe and Jellyfish Yinji sat facing each other and played chess.
The three girls in the courtyard, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin, were constantly moving around Yao Yue to start the battle.
During the process, while Yao Yue, who had suppressed her cultivation at the early stage of the Xiantian realm, dealt with the three women, Yao Yue would also give guidance from time to time.
Under Yao Yue's voice, whether it was Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao, or Lin Shiyin, they constantly adjusted their fighting methods based on what Yao Yue said.
Because the three girls all know that if they don't adjust as soon as Yao Yue says, then Yao Yue will do it herself and force them to adjust.
At this moment, not to mention Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao, even Qu Feiyan's expression was extremely solemn.
She was deeply afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would be attacked by Zhao Yue.
After half an hour, after being trained under Yao Yue's hands for a full hour, the three women, whose physical strength had already reached the limit, only after the body's internal strength and true energy were exhausted, did Yao Yue stop. .
The first time they stopped, the three women collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, and their bodies were dripping with sweat.
After relaxing for a while, the three women slowly stood up after drying their bodies with their true energy and internal strength.
Just as they were walking, feeling the spot hit by Yao Yue, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao grimaced in pain, while Lin Shiyin gasped.
It wasn't until after drinking several glasses of medicinal wine that the three women felt their injuries improved.
In response to this, Qu Feiyan, who was relieved, couldn't help looking at Yao Yue with resentment and said: "Sister Yue, can't you be gentler?"
Facing Qu Feiyan's inquiry, Yao Yue raised her eyes and looked at Qu Feiyan opposite.
Facing Yao Yue's gaze, Qu Feiyan's expression froze, and he quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Yue, you can use more force next time."
Hearing this, Yaoyue just snorted and slowly looked away.
However, just as the three women were slowly recovering from the effects of Chu Qinghe and the medicinal wine, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside.
The sound reached his ears, Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin looked at each other.
Then the three girls all clenched their fists, and after guessing the back of their hands, Qu Feiyan opened the door. The little girl got up and walked out the door with a depressed look on her face.
After a while, Qu Feiyan, who returned to the courtyard, said: "Young Master, he is the elder of the Sun Moon God Sect, the Sang Sanniang who came to deliver a message last time, and he also came with two big boxes."
"With two suitcases?"
Listening to what Qu Feiyan said, Chu Qinghe felt suspicious, and then gestured: "Invite people to come in!"
Qu Feiyan nodded slightly and walked out the door again.
A moment later, behind Qu Feiyan, Sang Sanniang and several women carrying boxes entered the courtyard one after another.
When she came to Chu Qinghe, Sang Sanniang bowed and said, "I've met Mr. Chu."
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Elder Sang is polite."
After Chu Qinghe responded, Sang Sanniang raised her head.
When she raised her head, Sang Sanniang glanced at Chu Qinghe and Yao Yue out of habit.
However, when she felt Yaoyue's cold gaze, Sang Sanniang couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.
For some reason, Sang Sanniang always felt that when Yaoyue in front of her looked at her, her eyes were not so friendly.
In this regard, Sang Sanniang did not dare to delay, and quickly turned around and waved to the women behind her.
At Sang Sanniang's signal, the women who had just carried the box into the courtyard quickly opened the box on the ground.
But what he saw in the box were strange-shaped herbs and flowers.
When Chu Qinghe and others looked at the box, Sang Sanniang bowed and said: "The leader has an order, and ordered his subordinates to collect the exotic flowers and herbs in the Mingjiao treasury and send them to the young master."
