Monarch of Evernight: 141 Yellow Bird’s Plan

bsp;Lin Xitang's calm face finally showed an obvious expression of surprise, "Empress Li? How can she have such qualifications?"

The king of heaven is a figure who stands at the pinnacle of the empire. Even the emperor himself cannot have much restraint on them, let alone the people in the harem who only have honor but no power.

However, Lin Xitang's thinking was so quick. After thinking about it, he thought of several things that had happened recently, and then figured out the cause and effect.

Zhang Boqian's first wife died young and left no children. He spent his whole life in the army and has only one **** son with no outstanding talents. He himself was quite indifferent to his heirs, and Zhang Clan had also been mentally prepared in advance. It was very likely that he would choose someone from among the descendants and nephews of Duke Dan to succeed him. This was also the common practice of the family. However, the originally ordinary family heir became more popular and controversial after Zhang Boqian was crowned king.

And the Li family also saw this clearly. At the critical moment when the imperial family and the powerful families were wrestling, they actually started to divide the first clan and win over the new king. Their ambitions were not small, and their skills were not small. It's not big. If the descendants can form an alliance with the new king, and with their management over the years, it is really possible to gain the maximum benefit from this imperial storm.

At this point, things are very clear. If you want to form an alliance with the King of Heaven, a disintegrated Song Dynasty may not be enough. Then another petition is his political opponent, so there was the impeachment at the court meeting.

Maybe there's more to it than that. Lin Xitang lowered his gaze and fiddled with the memorials in his hand. Of course he could tell that Zhang Boqian was not referring to a mere Empress Li family, but to the supreme Supreme Being. As both members of the imperial party, is this situation just a matter of Empress Li's selfish desire to seize power from him, or does the emperor want to change a powerful minister after changing the structure of the court?

Thinking of this, Lin Xitang looked at Zhang Boqian's face and chuckled, "The Li family... is a good move."

A sharp look suddenly flashed in Zhang Boqian's eyes.

Lin Xitang only said: "I thought the Song clan was just cleaning up their own internal affairs, but it turns out that it was also the letter of surrender given to you by the Li family."

"Lin Xitang, in this **** battle behind the Iron Curtain, I don't want to care what kind of chess you are playing. But even if you calculate all the secrets, you can't calculate the hearts of the people. Be careful that you become a mantis catching cicadas, or a rabbit. Before they were all dead, they were cooked."

"There are always winners and losers in chess, and the secrets deduced are just the closest to reality among the many changes. Who can determine the outcome at the beginning? If something really happens to me..." At this point, Lin Xitang said casually He smiled and raised his head to look at Zhang Boqian, "You and I have been blessed for many years, but can we leave it to my wife and children?"

Plop! It was as if the whole world jumped. There seemed to be something invisible in the air that suddenly froze and settled, filling the room with a chill.

Zhang Boqian's voice became extremely cold, bringing out a murderous aura, "If you die, I will kill the entire Lin family with my own hands."

"That's fine. If they enjoy glory because of me, they will naturally suffer the consequences of my defeat." Lin Xitang's expression was as calm as ever.

This is the gap between ordinary aristocratic families and powerful families. The prosperity of the Lin family is only due to Lin Xitang. There are not enough outstanding talents among his descendants and nephews to inherit his power. The Lin family's promotion from uncle to noble was only one generation long, and the weight of in-laws and family connections was not important enough. Once Lin Xitang was gone, the entire family would immediately decline.

The high-ranking sect has a thousand-year heritage, a profound foundation, and prosperous main branches. Even if the entire branch is uprooted, it will not damage the main body. Even if the main trunk is cut off, the side branches that penetrate deeply into the soil will still grow back into towering trees at the right time.

Zhang Boqian's eyes were deep and he suddenly strode away without looking back. When he rolled his sleeves and turned around, thunder suddenly broke out in the clear sky outside, and the sound shook hundreds of miles!

This is when the king of heaven is angry, and the heaven and earth reverberate.

Lin Xitang stood quietly for a moment, walked to the desk, and found an extra stone on it, about the size of two fists, oval, flat from top to bottom. In addition to stone patterns, the surface also had some pits, as if it had been affected by irregular water flow for many years. wash away.

He stared hard, slowly sat down at the table, looked at the stone for a while, and then put his hand on it.

Those stone patterns suddenly flickered, transforming into countless beautiful lines. With a soft click, the stone opened from the side, and it turned out to be a box with an extremely clever design. There was a ball of soft white light inside, sparkling like water mist, exuding a very weak but unmistakable aura of void force.

A green lotus in the center seems to have just woken up from a deep sleep, stretched its petals, and is slowly blooming.

Lotus grows on the sea.

This is a plant unique to the Maelstrom. According to the records of the dark race, it has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and concentrating the soul. It is said that when the flower blooms, it can repair the damaged souls of the surrounding creatures. For the human race, although the theory of soul is too elusive, it is an extremely rare main material, used to make high-quality potions that assist the impact of warriors, and is also an indispensable component of repair medicines for warriors and above.

Such a beautiful and precious plant grows in the dangerous depths of nature that even the strong dare not enter lightly. It only takes a moment for the flowers to bloom and fall, and it completes its entire life and death.

Therefore, the sea lotus collected by people at present are petals and lotus seeds that have withered and solidified into jade. Even if someone is lucky enough to witness the moment of blooming, there is no way to bring it out.

Only Zhang Boqian's special ability to cross the continent with a reed can bring back the living sea lotus.

A few wisps of white smoke rose from the lotus petals, wrapped around Lin Xitang's fingers, and spread along the blood veins of the skin. A faint and fragrant fragrance hit the nose, and the surrounding force seemed to become active at the same time, blurring the boundaries of the dark dawn in a trance. The world becomes more harmonious.

At this time, the green lotus bloomed to its limit, and then began to fade and become transparent, freezing at its most beautiful moment inch by inch.

Lin Xitang leaned back on the chair and put his hand on his eyes, covering all his expressions.

Actually, Zhang Boqian was wrong in saying that heaven has its own rules, and the only choice is to follow the trend and go against it. Therefore, the only thing that can be plotted in this world is the human heart.

In another inconspicuous corner of the Evernight Continent, an aerospace boat was bumping at high altitude, heading west.

Long-distance flying is very boring. Black Moon quickly searched every corner of the airship, and finally had to stand next to Qianye and stay with him in a daze.

I don’t know how long it took, but Qianye finally said: "Before I go to Heiliu, I may have to fight a battle first. You wait for me outside."

"War? With whom?" When it comes to war, Black Moon is like a cat whose eyes light up when it sees a small fish.

Qianye smiled and said: "That battle is not easy to fight. The opponent is the private army of the Nangong family."

"Nangong Family? Are they the ones who intercepted you?"

"To be precise, it's the people behind those guys, a high-ranking family from the Qin Empire."

"Sounds very powerful." Heiyue's eyes flashed.

"It's already great."

"Five hundred as an advance payment, and an additional five hundred if you really die in battle. In addition, there will be two hundred and one ninth-level warriors, and one hundred and one eighth-level warriors, and so on, and they will be halved in turn. If you can, make a deal. ." Hei Yue opened her mouth. It was obvious that this rhetoric was extremely familiar. She had said it countless times. "It's an imperial gold coin!"

"Okay."

Qianye agreed so simply, which surprised Heiyue. He was stunned for a while before saying: "You agree now?"

"Why not?"

"You don't want to bargain or anything? Or don't you think I'm bragging?"

It seemed that Heiyue was very prepared to bargain, but everything came to nothing, so her little face almost wrinkled up, feeling indescribably awkward.

"The price is very reasonable. Wait, you control the aerostat while I go out for a moment. There are guests."

After that, Qianye picked up Heiyue, put it in front of the console, and left the control room. Through the porthole, you can see an aerospace boat flying quickly in the distance, with lights flashing and communication signals constantly sending out.

Heiyue groaned, quickly grabbed the communication manual next to the console, and quickly flipped to the location in his mind. Only then did he understand the meaning of the light signal on the opposite side: landing, undergoing inspection.

The aerostat in the distance is not big, but its speed is much faster than their old antique boat. The family emblem on the boat is extremely eye-catching. Heiyue took out a piece of paper full of oil stains from his arms, with dozens of clan emblems painted on it, and the bottom was marked with strange Gaohu characters.

"Nangong Family?" Heiyue whispered, her dark eyes not nervous at all, but full of excitement.

At this moment, Qianye's figure suddenly flashed across the porthole. Behind him was a huge sniper rifle, climbing from the outer wall to the top of the airship.

Seeing this scene, Heiyue's thoughts couldn't help but stagnated for a moment. Although she herself had climbed to the top of an airship, she only went up to take a look. The aerostat was currently flying at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, the ice was biting and the wind was fierce. Even if she had mechanical assistance, she was almost blown down by the wind. What does Qianye want to do? Shoot from the top of the aerostat?

Even as a Gaohu man, Heiyue felt that Qianye's thoughts at this moment were really crazy.

The aerospace boat opposite was obviously of military standard. Seeing that the signal light never responded, it could no longer hold back. The muzzle flashes on both sides flashed, and a series of bullets were fired at it. However, they were far apart, and both sides were shaking violently in the high-altitude strong winds, causing the bullets to miss by hundreds of thousands of miles.

Heiyue cursed, took out a heavy machine gun from the rear cabin, set it out the porthole, and fired a barrage of fire towards the opposite side. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the cabin floor, motionless. The powerful recoil of the heavy machine gun was offset by the mechanical force, and the muzzle of the gun was firmly locked on the aerostat opposite.

The little girl's shooting skills were obviously much better than those of her opponent. From a distance of a thousand meters, she hit at least a dozen hits with a box of bullets, while other bullets also missed her. But sparks kept flying off the surface of the aerospace craft, and the bullets bounced off the armor plate, with almost none of them able to penetrate.

Although there is only a small military patrol boat on the opposite side, it is also protected by armor, and heavy machine guns can't do anything about it.

At this moment, a roar sounded from the top of Black Moon's head, shaking the entire aerospace craft. A line of fire stretched across the night sky and hit the aerostat opposite. A small group of dazzling fire light lit up, and then a large propeller was lifted off. The patrol boat immediately began to spin.

Heiyue suddenly opened her mouth wide, too shocked to speak.

PS: I just heard about Leg Leg’s birthday two days ago. Although it’s late, I still want to say happy birthday!
