Chapter 145 [New Proposal]
He remembered that Tantai Qi was his classmate a few years ago, but he never expected that the two would one day become life-and-death enemies. Ge Xian felt that he had never felt sorry for him.
When he had not yet cultivated Taoism and was just an ordinary mortal, Tantai Qi was so high up that he could not see him at all.
When he entered the path of cultivation and rose rapidly, it seemed that he was in the eyes of this person, and he began to target himself, even sending Xu Mengjie to deal with him. This was what Xu Mengjie told him later, which made him very unexpected.
In order to protect himself and his family's safety, Ge Xian did not hesitate to take action against him and the entire Tantai family, thus forging a grudge.
He didn't quite understand the brain logic of these big families. It seemed that it was normal for them to infringe on others, and it was abnormal for others to retaliate against them. Then he felt aggrieved and turned into a black man, viewing himself as the enemy of life and death.
Regarding this phenomenon, Ge Xian felt that this was the original sin of aristocratic families in the human world. They were proud to the core and had the aristocratic temperament of "Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish."
Unfortunately, nobles are usually noble, but they are also fragile. Sometimes they would rather die than admit their mistakes. When the humble rise up to resist, their pride only makes themselves look more stupid.
"So, the Bliss Sect is very likely to have the support of the Soul Palace. Is the Soul Palace very strong?" Ge Xian couldn't show that he knew too much about the Soul Palace, so he still asked in a tone of not knowing much.
Wenren Youguang looked at Dong Xiaowan and Qiu Chengli, winked calmly, and then coughed and said: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Ge is indeed a new arrival. This Soul Palace was once extremely powerful, but it was attacked more than twenty years ago. After heavy setbacks, it declined, and finally fell apart. However, it spawned many demonic sects, such as the Demon Emperor Sect, the Sinner Valley, and the Liquor Sect. But just a few years ago, less than three years ago, a Soul Palace actually appeared. Young Master. This man is as young as fellow Daoist Ge. However, he is very ruthless and skillful in his actions. In addition, he has mastered the Heavenly Demon Art. In a short period of time, he has integrated a large number of demonic sects and reopened the Soul Palace. , now seems to be an overlord in the demon world, making us in the fairy world quite fearful."
Then, Dong Xiaowan added: "Not only that, the Soul Palace is not satisfied with unifying the demon world. They are already infiltrating into the fairy world. The Bliss Sect is one of them. We suspect that they have taken refuge in the Soul Palace."
"So, this incident in Dongyang actually became a trigger?" Ge Xian looked at the three people and felt that these three were indeed old foxes, and he and Nangong Wanhua had just become their pawns.
Qiu Chengli laughed and said: "Everyone can punish the followers of the devil. Daoyou Ge and the Ninth Princess have punctured this scar at this meeting. It is a good opportunity to drive away the Paradise Sect. However, the Paradise Sect's power is not ordinary. In recent years, After they took control of the Lu State, their power became even more entrenched. Once an all-out war breaks out, the Lu State and even the entire China will usher in the Warring States Period again."
Ge Xian did not answer, but picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank tea. The other three people were a little disappointed when they saw that he was not provoked.
"Brother Ge, the leader of the Bliss Sect has disappeared and there is no news yet. The ten masters of the palace can be found. As long as they are eradicated and the royal spokesperson is changed, the Lu Kingdom can basically control it. Even if the master of the Bliss Sect shows up, it may be difficult to deal with it. We are three families, oh, no, it is our four families." Wenren Youguang continued to talk.
Ge Xian raised his head and glanced at him and said, "Yes, but Princess Ninth and I also have conditions."
"What conditions?" Dong Xiaowan and Qiu Chengli asked in confusion.
Ge Xian finally put forward the plan discussed between himself and Nangong Wanhua, and said: "We will select the spokesperson for the royal family to ensure the smoothest succession, the least fluctuations, and the least harm to the people. Otherwise, we can only go our separate ways. Go it alone."
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down. Qiu Chengli stared at Ge Xian with a somewhat unkind look, but Ge Xian stared back without fear, making him a little helpless.
"Brother Ge, don't you think it's too much?" Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but frown and said.
Ge Xian shook his head and said: "We Ming people don't tell secrets. There must be unavoidable reasons for your three families' delay in taking action. For example, the mysterious sect leader may be the biggest reason. If you want me and the Ninth Princess to help, just To give a suitable exchange of conditions, our condition is the position of royal spokesperson, that is, the position of King Lu."
"Who do you want to choose?" Wen Ren Youguang suddenly asked.
Qiu Chengli and Dong Xiaowan also looked at him solemnly. Ge Xian was silent for a moment, and then said: "The third prince - Nangong Feng!"
"No, the Taizong line must abdicate and give way to the Taizu line. Zhennan King Nangong Xiong is the most suitable candidate." Qiu Chengli couldn't wait to express his objection, while Dong Xiaowan and Wen Ren Youguang were noncommittal.
Ge Xian thought there was something interesting and continued: "Brother Qiu, having said that, with the current power and influence of King Zhennan, the succession of kingship in Lu State will be a severe test. Frankly speaking, I do not agree that he can successfully complete it. Handover. At that time, Taizong of the Lu State made a promise to reassure his subjects, but King Zhennan was not Taizong and could not do it. This would inevitably put the Lu State in a long-term power struggle and the people would inevitably be displaced. The turmoil and decline of the Lu State would inevitably make other The forces of the mortal dynasty are ready to move, and the sect forces behind them will not give up. They have always wanted to get involved in the Lu State, and even support a new dynasty to replace it. Therefore, the Lu State cannot be chaotic, and the handover must be smooth and stable, and it is legal."
Wenren Youguang's eyes lit up and he seemed to understand something. Dong Xiaowan also felt that Ge Xian's words made sense. Although Qiu Chengli was dissatisfied, he seemed to be unable to find any good words to object.
"The third prince Nangong Feng has always had a fairly pure character with no obvious bad deeds. He is also deeply ostracized by the prince's line and is not valued by other sect forces. He is the first choice for the lonely family. Although he belongs to the Taizong lineage, he is not like the prince. There is a clear difference among the direct lineage, and at the same time, it is easier to be accepted by the subjects. After all, his identity is legal, and it is not like the King of Zhennan needs to make concessions." Ge Xian also turned on the verbal confrontation mode at this time, without any hesitation. He did not hesitate to criticize Qiu Chengli's concession just now.
Sure enough, when Qiu Chengli was about to curse angrily, Wenren Youguang stopped him and said: "Brother Qiu, it is not enough for you, the Punishing Evil Sect, to support Nangong Xiong's rise to power. Besides, this person has been suppressed by King Lu for many years. I am also very worried about whether he will release the anger and resentment he has held for many years once he takes office. I am not optimistic whether Lu will be as stable and stable as it is now."
Dong Xiaowan immediately spoke in agreement: "Yes, Nangong Xiong is very ambitious and has a deep palace. He is a king of overlords and overlords. But ask yourself, do our three families need such a king now? Nangong Feng is much more well-behaved in comparison. It is also easier to control, and there is no strong support behind him. Therefore, the state of Lu is actually in the hands of three of us, instead of the current four."
These words made Ge Xian have to praise him. Sure enough, Qiu Chengli seemed to be convinced. He was like a deflated ball and said with some frustration: "Unexpectedly, the strategy discussed by us has been adopted today. This guy is really unwilling to change a few words."
"Hahaha..." Ge Xian clasped his fists and said, "Brother Qiu, please forgive me, the Ninth Princess and I have no idea about getting involved in King Lu's power. Now that it's over, I will immediately leave for Zhongzhou to participate in the sect competition. The mortal dynasty has nothing to do with me." It's just a game. As for the Ninth Princess, don't worry, she also has no interest in royal power, she has long since left the mortal realm."
After the three people heard this, they finally felt relieved, but the real result will not be known until the coming storm is over.
