Chapter 677

It had nothing to do with the Emperor?

Li Wang and the others disdained to explain to a little girl what was the responsibility of a ruler.

The Yongxing Emperor thought that his sister was complaining for him, but the current situation did not allow her to make trouble, so he said with a straight face:

"Lin An, don't be rude.

"This Emperor and the uncles still have to discuss matters, you can withdraw first."

A prince slightly shook his head:

"When the previous Emperor was on the throne, he was immersed in cultivation and neglected the marriage of the princesses. Your Majesty, it is time to consider Lin An's marriage. She is not young anymore and should be married.

"If you continue to be so impudent and rude, you won't improve at all."

Whether it was a man or a woman, marriage was the best catalyst to force people to mature and grow.

Lin An's face was stiff, not giving the uncles a good expression. She bowed and said:

"Brother Emperor, I know the reason for the movement of the Yong Zhen Mountain River Temple. The ancestors are not angry, but there is another reason."

Yongxing Emperor was shocked at first as he didn't expect such words to come out of her mouth. Then, he pushed the case forward in surprise and questioned closely,

"It is not the ancestors who are angry, but there is another reason? Lin 'an, tell me what's going on. "

The other princes also turned to look at Zhang Xuan in astonishment.

"The Country Suppressing Sword is now in the hands of Xu Qi 'an. In the War Hounds Mountain of the Sword State, he fought with the Buddhist Sect, Witchcraft Religion and Cloud State. He protected Dragon Breath and War Hounds Mountain.

"The movement of the Yong Zhen Mountain River Temple is related to this."

Lin An told him exactly what he had heard from Huai Qing.

She did not clearly explain the meaning of the battle in War Hounds Mountain, nor did she explain the deep connection between the movement of the Yong Zhen Mountain River Temple and that battle.

But this was enough. For the royal family present, this information was enough for them to piece together and analyze the truth.

The Country Suppressing Sword was in the hands of Xu Qi 'an, he fought with many forces in War Hounds Mountain and protected Dragon Breath … … The Yongxing Emperor's pupils dilated and his mood was incomparably complex.

After understanding the truth of the matter, a strong sense of security welled up in his heart.

That Xu Qi 'an was like a good general in the history books, guarding the border, allowing him, the emperor, to sit back and relax.

"So it is in the hands of Xu Qi 'an … …"

The grey-haired King Yu muttered, "It seems like the supervisor took away the Country Guarding Sword and gave it to Xu Qi 'an. I didn't expect the rebels of Buddhism, Witchcraft Religion, and Cloud State to gather at the War Hounds Mountain."

The princes frowned: "What does this have to do with the ancestor tablet being broken and the statue being damaged?"

The old King Li King got up and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Li of the Li of the Emperor.

"No matter what, I just have to protect the Draconic Qi. He immediately ordered the Minister of the Jian Province to investigate this matter. He wanted to know how many experts the Buddhist League, the Witchcraft Cult, and the remnants of the Cloud Province had sent out. He wanted to know the details of the battle.



"They forced the supervisor to send the Nation Suppressing Sword out of the capital. This battle is not simple. We have to investigate it thoroughly."



"girl" with with "Li, with with with" Li with "with

Lin An raised his chin. "I naturally have a way to contact Xu Qi 'an."

King Li frowned and looked at the Yongxing Emperor with a puzzled look.

The latter sat on the big table with a smile on his face:

"Granduncle cultivates himself and rarely goes out. You don't know this, but before Xu Qi 'an rose to power, Lin An took care of him. The two of them had a deep friendship.

"In front of Xu Qi 'an, my face is not as good as Li' an's.

"It is not surprising that they have a way to contact each other in private."

Deep friendship … … King Li glanced at Li 'an and his eyes flashed.

The Yongxing Emperor paused for a moment, bowed slightly, looked at King Li, then looked at the princes and princes and said:

"Since that is the case, do I still need to issue an imperial edict?"

King Li waved his hand.

King Li said:

"What we need to do now is to find out the truth as soon as possible. The more credit Xu Yinluo makes, the better it will be for Your Majesty. If someone uses the Ancestral Temple to attack Your Majesty, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to announce the truth.

"It will not only damage Your Majesty's reputation but also benefit you."

The smile on the Yongxing Emperor's face widened and he glanced at the Fourth Prince lightly.

The latter lowered his head and showed no expression.

…

The meeting was over.

Huai Qing led the palace maids back to Dexin Garden with graceful steps, her dress fluttering in the wind.

"Huaiqing."

The Fourth Prince was in the same direction as her. Seeing his sister in front of him, he quickened his pace to catch up.

Huaiqing slowed down and waited for him to catch up. At the same time, she glanced at the two palace maids beside her and sent them away.

The Fourth Prince caught up with her and walked side by side with her, gritting his teeth as he said,

"Damn it! Originally, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he lost his reputation and prestige.

"You didn't see how proud he was when he said that Xu Qi 'an and Lin' an had a deep friendship. It was clearly for us to hear.

"After King Li heard it, his attitude toward Lin 'an immediately changed …"

Speaking of this, the Fourth Prince looked up and down at his sister and said:

"I remember that Xu Qi 'an was originally your man. That day, you took him to the imperial city to attend the banquet, and he made a song 'After getting drunk, I don't know the sky is in the water, the boat full of clear dreams presses the galaxy'.

"Now Lin 'an has beaten me to it."

The face of Huaiqing, who was originally expressionless, sank. She seemed to be a little angry. She turned to look at the Fourth Prince and said lightly:

"Brother, do you think that in this situation, you will do better than Yongxing if you sit on the Dragon Throne?"

"I … will naturally do it better than him."

The Fourth Prince frowned.

"It's just the difference between 50 steps and 100 steps. The current situation of Daibun can't be changed by one person's strength. There won't be much difference who sits in that position. Since that's the case, why is brother in such a hurry? "

Huaiqing said lightly.

The Fourth Prince looked at her: "You mean …"

Huaiqing turned around and left: "Fourth Brother, how long has it been since you read history? The second volume, chapter 13, is very interesting. When brother is free, you can read it."

… …

Sword Province.

Xu Qi 'an drove the Buddha's Pagoda to bring Mu Nanzi, the little mare, Shirohime, and Chai Xing' er back to War Hounds Mountain.

During Chai Xing 'er's stay in Sword Province, her cultivation base was sealed. Of course, even so, it was not something that the reincarnation of the Flower God could deal with.

Well, whether she was weak or not, it still needed to be confirmed. After all, Xu Qi 'an did not give her a chance.

Fortunately, they still had Bai Ji. Even though this fox demon cub was also a weakling, it was all thanks to her peers that she had become the pillar of support.

Dealing with a weak Chai Xing 'er with her cultivation base sealed was not a problem.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xu Qi 'an even fed Chai Xing' er a Muscle Softening Powder.

"Is the fight over? Did you win or lose? What are the losses of the Buddhist Sect?"

Shirohime kept pestering him, inquiring about the situation of War Hounds Mountain.

This was not in line with her usual style, so Xu Qi 'an asked:

"Are you going to inform Nine Tailed Fox?"

Shirohime's black button-like eyes suddenly became sluggish. After being stunned for a few seconds, she quickly shook her head:

"No, I won't inform her."

Your expression has already explained everything. Un, at least you're smarter than Lingyin. If it was the little bean sprout, he would have run away in fear, afraid of his big brother being so terrifying … Xu Qi 'an said:

"Of course I won, otherwise how could I still be standing here?

"After the battle of War Hounds Mountain, Du Nan and Du Fan died in battle. The Buddhist Sect no longer has a guardian vajra."

The Buddhist Sect no longer has a guardian vajra … Shirohime's black eyes became sluggish again.

If the Buddhist Sect lost the Emotionless Arhat outside Harmony Prefecture City, the Buddhist Sect had lost a Second Rank Arhat and two Third Rank Vajra in just one month.

This was something that the Empress and her fellow clansmen could not do for hundreds of years.

Although the Empress had already ordered the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to go into hiding and withdraw from the stage of the Nine Regions.

I have to tell the Empress this good news and make her happy … Shirohime's eyes were filled with joy. Suddenly, she noticed that Xu Qi 'an was looking at her. She quickly blinked her clear eyes, putting on an innocent look.

Driving the Buddha's Pagoda back to War Hounds Mountain, he saw the old man standing on the edge of the broken cliff with his hands behind his back, overlooking the vast land.

He was wearing cloth clothes and his silver hair was unruly fluttering.

Although his eyes had the sharpness of a Warrior, they were filled with the vicissitudes of the secular world.

Xu Qi 'an drove the Buddha's Pagoda to land beside the old man and left the pagoda alone.

"Senior!"

He cupped his hands.

… …

Most of the War Hounds Mountain's main peak had collapsed and it was no longer habitable. The internal structure of the mountain was damaged and it would collapse intermittently for a long time until it was completely stabilized.

Fortunately, the War Hounds Mountain Range was several hundred miles long and was not an isolated mountain.

To the people of the Wulin League, they only needed to change the mountain and rebuild their headquarters.

Military Town, Conference Hall.

Cao Qingyang sat in the main seat, listening to the Vice Alliance Master Wen Chengbi's report on the casualties.

There were 320 people who died in the collapse of the main peak and were unable to escape in time. Because of various reasons, this group of people did not have the time to leave at that time and were buried along with the collapse of the mountain.

The military town was quite far from the battlefield, but the aftermath of the battle had caused buildings to collapse. The initial death toll was 134 people and 500 people were injured.

"The casualties were still bearable. Fortunately, the Alliance Master had moved the old, weak, women, and children ahead of time. Those who died in the military town were mostly women, children, and the elderly. Most of the soldiers and youths were outside the houses at that time. "

Wen Chengbi continued.

"The headquarters needs to be rebuilt and this is a large expenditure. As for the Wulin League's treasury, it was not moved in time and is now buried under the mountain. We do not have that much manpower and money. "

Xiao Yuenu, Fu Jingmen, Yang Cuixue and the others all frowned.

After this battle, the Wulin League had suffered heavy losses. Although there were not many casualties, it was still bearable.

But the headquarters that had been in operation for several hundred years had been destroyed in a single night. The loss of money was enough to make one's heart bleed.

Cao Qingyang said.

"Getting the money back is not a problem. At worst we can ask the old ancestor to help us dig the mountain and move the rocks away. Fifth grade and above martial artists can help together. "

The Sword State Chamber of Commerce's chairman Qiao Weng said.

"If there is no other way, we can only ask for everyone's generosity."

These Sect Masters and Gang Masters were all big shots and had quite a bit of wealth in their sects.

Fu Jingmen knit his brows and said directly.

"But the money we can give is limited and we still have to appease the local refugees. Everyone knows that relying on the food from the government is not enough to fill the stomachs of the victims. "

Yang Cuixue took over.

"It will cost a lot to rebuild the headquarters in the mountain. Why don't we make a compromise and use the military town as the core to expand the headquarters? "

Wen Chengbi, the deputy leader, shook his head.

"This is not in line with the ancestral system. The reason why the headquarters is built in the mountain is to remind us not to forget the purpose of the establishment of the Wulin League. We will never be a simple martial arts organization.

"It's a righteous leader who can attack cities and uproot strongholds in troubled times."

The headquarters of the Wulin League was equivalent to a stronghold that occupied a natural stronghold.

Cao Qingyang knocked on the table, interrupting everyone's argument.

"Chengbi, go and ask the old ancestor."

…

"I just went to the Sword State and suddenly felt like I was back in the Spring Festival."

The old man put his hands behind his back and sighed.

"If the disaster is not controlled, the Central Plains will change dynasties in less than two years."

Xu Qi'an was silent.

The old man turned around and smiled meaningfully.

"Do you know why the two Dragon Breath chose the Wulin League?"

"The Wulin League has been operating in the Sword State for hundreds of years. The Sword State is stable, the weather is good, and the people have enough to eat and wear. Now that the Daibun Dynasty is declining, the Dragon Breath has chosen a master and believes that the Wulin League can replace the Daibun Dynasty. "

Xu Qi'an said calmly.

The old man nodded and said.

"There has never been a dynasty that has never declined. When I handed the army to him and returned to the Sword State, I made an agreement with him. If the Daibun Dynasty takes the same path as the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will end it with my own hands. "

Without waiting for Xu Qi'an's response, he smiled bitterly.

"But he and I didn't expect that the woman would later create the Warlock system.

"The birth of the Warlocks made it more difficult for ordinary people to rebel. At this point in time, it would be very difficult for the common people of the Central Plains to change the dynasty if they had external help. "

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and said tentatively,

"Woman?"

"It's the first-generation supervisor!" The old man smiled and said,

The old man smiled and said, "He is prettier than a woman and follows your Daibun Emperor Gaozu all the time. If I didn't know that shameless man likes women, I would have thought that they are …"

"Sworn brothers …" Xu Qi 'an said it for him in his mind.

"Senior, did you and the Supervisor, yes, the current Supervisor have any agreement?"

"Yes." The old man nodded.

As expected, the Wulin League has always been the Supervisor's secret pawn … Xu Qi'an quickly asked,

"What agreement? When did you make the agreement? "
