Chapter 156 The sky is falling! My wife is pregnant!
[Chapter 154] The brothers were sealed.
I was in a pretty good mood.
After meeting Qin Kaijiang, everyone's condition took a sharp turn for the worse.
Qin Muye felt like cursing.
Although Old Deng has always been serious, there was nothing wrong with his behavior today.
But he could feel that Lao Deng had a strong distrust of Li Xingluo.
Just don't trust!
Don't accept any rebuttal of distrust!
Qin Muye was very angry and just wanted to jump onto Qin Kaijiang's carriage right now to warn him not to mess around, otherwise he would directly expose the secret of marrow replacement.
But he also knew that if he dared to threaten him like this, Lao Deng would definitely choose to kill him first.
Because as long as the fact that his bloodline has been revived is exposed, he will lose the little trust that he already has.
No warning.
There will only be some constraints.
caveat.
One will fail and the other will perish.
Faced with this top-notch tough guy, there was actually no way to counterattack.
no way!
Qin Muye also couldn't understand why someone could have both extraordinary combat power and a stubborn mind.
God of War Realm...
He can’t even defeat someone who is half a step away from being a war god.
Not to mention the God of War realm.
And Lao Deng is definitely not a lower-level war god.
My balls hurt!
But there was nothing he could do. Li Xingluo, with the help of his brother's spirit weapon and himself with plug-ins, could hardly stop it.
Lao Deng has been carrying the burden himself for nearly ten years, so it is reasonable for him to not trust Li Xingluo.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yuji gently took his arm and leaned on his shoulder: "It will be fine!"
"Ok!"
Qin Muye responded, then took her hand and gently stroked it: "I also believe it will be fine, but do you really want to leave me alone to bear it?"
Bai Yuji's body stiffened for a moment and he sighed softly.
She did not speak.
But Qin Muye understood what she meant.
When two people are together, it is never just a matter of two people.
It's so uncomfortable.
Such a father, coupled with such a mother, is really a torture.
soon.
We have arrived at the palace.
Qin Kaijiang saluted Li Xingluo, and then signaled with his eyes that Qin Muye and his wife should follow behind him.
As the Grand Marshal, his actual status is no lower than Li Xingluo's.
But when you are outside, you must observe the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects.
The four of them went straight to Yongqing Palace.
When he arrived, Li Hong actually greeted him personally outside the palace gate.
"Xing Luo!"
"Father!"
Both father and daughter had red eyes.
Li Hong was no different from an ordinary loving father who missed his daughter. His eyes were full of love and pride as he looked at Li Xingluo: "Xingluo, you must have been tired from the journey. I have prepared your favorite meal for you. Come in!"
"Ok!"
Li Xingluo was as generous and well-behaved as always: "Thank you, Father. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"Come in quickly!"
Li Hong smiled and immediately looked at Qin Muye: "Muye, thanks to you for taking care of Xingluo along the way!"
He emphasized the word "care".
Qin Muye felt a chill on his back when he heard this. He could only pretend that he didn't understand and laughed, "It was the Princess who helped me more this time. If it weren't for the Princess, I might have died."
Li Hong gave him a deep look.
I don’t know whether he was killed or suffocated to death.
One moment he was talking about how much he loved his Nanzhao wife, and the next moment they were in bed together.
Qin Muye felt uncomfortable being stared at. Although Li Hong was no different from a killer to Li Xingluo, it could not be ruled out that there was an element of fatherly love involved. After all, in Pu Mingzhu's memory, Li Hong really loved Pu Wanjun.
It is undeniable that Lao Deng’s emotions towards Huangmao are definitely one of the most intense emotions in the world.
He scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, can I come in?"
Li Hong slapped him on the back: "Get out of here!"
"Hey! Hey!"
Qin Muye smiled apologetically and entered the hall with Bai Yuji, sitting opposite Li Xingluo.
The three of them looked at each other and all felt a little awkward.
Previously, in the Pu family's ancestral home, almost isolated from the world, they were still able to put aside worldly views.
But after returning to Kyoto, I still couldn't avoid feeling a little ashamed.
Li Hong and Qin Kaijiang came hand in hand and sat down one after another.
He glanced at Qin Muye, then looked at Li Xingluo with concern: "Xingluo, you must be exhausted, eat more to replenish your body!"
Li Xingluo smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Li Hong glanced at Qin Muye again: "You two should also make up!"
Qin Muye: “…”
Bai Yuji: "..."
How much resentment is there?
Tell the truth.
The toes have already started digging into the ground.
But it’s not in vain.
At least Li Hong's attitude is not like Qin Kaijiang's.
Being sarcastic means that you still have a sarcastic mood.
If I really wanted to sentence you to death, I definitely wouldn't express it like this.
Qin Muye finally had a clue in his mind.
The dinner is still a family dinner.
The ingredients are very good, the dishes are substantial, the portions are large and filling, and there are also many soups that nourish yin and yang.
It can be seen that Li Hong really wants to give some help to the younger generations.
When they had almost finished eating, he smiled and asked, "Xingluo, do you like the two mines in Wenling?"
"like!"
Li Xingluo smiled and nodded, and simply changed the topic: "But father, my trip to Wenling has brought me even greater gains."
Li Hong knew that she would confess on her own initiative.
But seeing her confess so frankly, I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
He pretended to be curious: "Oh? What did you get?"
Li Xingluo flipped his right hand, and soon four round stones appeared in his hand. He handed them over respectfully: "Father! These were seized from those big monsters. I wonder if they are useful."
Qin Kaijiang looked at the magic stone, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He naturally reacted to the magic stone, but the magic stone was only the hub for mobilizing the power of will, not the power of will itself, so the reaction was not particularly strong.
Li Hong took the stone, was silent for a moment and asked: "Xingluo, do you know what this stone is?"
Li Xingluo nodded: "I know!"
"Really know?"
"I know everything!"
"..."
Li Hong was a little dazed.
Know it all! ?
How complete is this “complete”?
He was stunned for a long time, then he exhaled softly: "You must have experienced a lot of dangers, tell me everything quickly."
"Yes!"
Li Xingluo nodded, and then recounted everything he had seen and heard after arriving in Wenling, almost without reservation.
When the Qinghong Gate opened, she felt something was wrong and was a little afraid to go in.
When she found that there were too many masters over there and Qin Muye could not cope with them, she wanted to go there herself, but was stopped by Pu Mingzhu.
Later, after entering the ruins, they hid and ran into a group of big monsters, and were seriously injured. They wanted to steal the Ten Thousand Monsters Golden Pill, but were killed by them in a narrow escape.
Until the very end, Pu Mingzhu deliberately died under Pu Minglong's sword in order to repel Pu Minglong. Before his death, he told her everything about the messenger of God.
Although some reservations have been made.
But for Li Qin Erdeng, the amount of information has exploded.
Li Hong was stunned.
As a father, I know you want to confess.
But you are too frank.
Qin Kaijiang frowned and looked at Qin Muye: "Empress Di didn't want to go at first, why did you insist on going?"
Qin Muye was a little impatient: "Because of the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill, otherwise I would go to die?"
Qin Kaijiang didn't expect that this rebellious son would be so disrespectful to his father in front of the emperor.
But after thinking about it, Li Xingluo's narration just now was enough to prove that they were not completely unaware of what happened that year. The bad attitude of this rebellious son was most likely because of Li Xingluo.
For a woman, you have to do this?
He was a little angry: "Where did the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill come from?"
Bai Yuji took over the conversation and said, "Father, the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill was given to me by my master, but there is only one core. We took advantage of the trip to Lingnan to slay the demons to gather the whole body of the pill.
We had originally planned to wait until we left Wenling before heading out to sea to look for the totem altar, but we didn't expect the golden elixir to react immediately that night. We didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we took a risk."
Finish this sentence.
She held her breath.
The Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill can be exposed, but the fact that it can be replicated must not be known by outsiders, so it can only be explained as a "pill core".
Fortunately, the two elders did not doubt too much.
Qin Kaijiang's eyes were full of scrutiny: "Where is the golden elixir now?"
Qin Muye said unhappily, "I have already refined it! What? Father wants me to give it to the new prince?"
In a word.
It’s impossible to deal with Qin Kaijiang directly.
The originally aggressive questioning rhythm was completely disrupted at this moment.
Li Hong laughed and said, "Muye, don't think about your father like that. He has never seen the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill and is afraid that you will have problems after taking it. Although the position of the Crown Prince was given to Mingri, he still misses you in his heart."
Qin Muye suppressed his resentment and said, "Then don't bother me, father. I am fine after eating the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill, and I even found the second path to becoming a Grandmaster. It's a pity that I didn't let Mingri test the poison for me."
Qin Kaijiang: “…”
The corners of his eyes twitched again and again, and he just wanted to teach this rebellious son a lesson.
But he was finally relieved. It turned out that Qin Muye entered the secret realm because of the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill. As long as there was no reaction to the totem altar, everything would be fine.
Li Hong was a little overwhelmed, but even more overwhelmed was yet to come.
He looked at Li Xingluo: "Xingluo, what did Aunt Pu tell you?"
He had softened his tone in this sentence.
But when Li Xingluo heard this, he actually bowed down and said, "I beg you, father, to give me a chance to prove myself. The so-called blood of a divine messenger is not hopeless!"
Li Hong had seen many storms, but he was still a little overwhelmed by this kneeling.
He quickly helped Li Xingluo up: "Xingluo, don't be anxious, and don't listen to others. Your father has never distrusted you! If you have anything to say, sit down and talk slowly."
Li Xingluo was obviously a little upset: "Of course I know that you have been giving me opportunities, but..."
"Just what?"
"Father! During our trip to Lingnan, I have hidden something from you."
"what's up?"
"Pu Minglong...gave the child a memory."
"Tell me in detail!"
Li Hong looked a little gloomy. From what he had just heard from Li Xingluo, he could tell that she must have known something.
Now it seems that Pu Minglong was the one behind this!
Li Xingluo hid his own memories and only recounted the memories in the Memory Gu. Finally, he asked with a trembling voice: "Father! I know the horror of the blood of the God's Messenger. Even for me, it is quite difficult to overcome the temptation of the altar in the ruins, but... is it really worth killing them all?"
"of course not!"
Li Hong rejected it immediately, and a trace of pain appeared on his face: "But you also know that this is quite difficult, and you have seen how crazy Pu Minglong is. As a father, I have always wanted to give your brother a chance, but his performance...
Star Luo!
I know you must think I am cold-blooded. But you should also know how difficult it is for Daqian to get to where it is today.
The people of Daqian must never be handed over to a group of lunatics who claim to be gods!
In fact... your father has long thought about removing you and your two children from the fight for the throne, so that you can live your life in peace.
At the very least, I want to save your newborn self, let you grow up without worries, get married and have children.
But facing Pu Mingzhu's suggestion, as a father and emperor, I cannot refuse!
At that time, Daqian was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. For my father, for my father..."
Talk about the emotional part.
He actually covered his face and cried.
Li Xingluo also burst into tears: "Father, I understand everything! Daqian is your hard work. I was born in the royal family, so I should make sacrifices for the people. I understand everything!"
The father and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Qin Muye was almost moved.
It’s a pity that Li Hong lied!
At the beginning, he had no intention of saving Li Xingluo's life.
If Pu Mingzhu had not "killed" Li Zhiyi to show his loyalty and betrayed the "god" behind the Pu family, leaving him with no way out, he would not have trusted Pu Mingzhu at all.
Not to mention the unstable factor Li Xingluo.
Anyway, in Li Xingluo's memory, Li Hong wanted to kill her at first.
Both the father and daughter told a lot of truth, but they also kept the most crucial part.
When they cry, they must really want to cry.
But I didn't want to cry for the reasons they gave.
Is this the Royal Family?
a long time.
Li Hong wiped his tears and said, "Xingluo! You are different from them. Your father believes in you!"
Li Xingluo lowered his head, but it was difficult for him to relax. He just nodded while sobbing: "Thank you, father!"
Li Hong took a long breath and was speechless.
Qin Kaijiang watched all this with indifference.
He believed a lot of what Li Xingluo said just now.
But there was just one thing he didn't believe. He didn't believe that Li Xingluo could resist the temptation of the altar, especially the altar that did not reject alien gods. Even if he really resisted going up to the altar due to some coincidence, he would be obsessed with the feeling of becoming a god from then on.
In short, it’s just two words: don’t believe it!
But Li Hongxin.
The reason he wanted to convince Li Hong was simple: I tried, and I almost couldn't stand it. Anyway, I think if I were on the throne, I would have surrendered.
It’s a pity that this reason cannot be spoken out loud.
Qin Muye watched this scene and felt even more heavy in his heart.
This is Lao Deng.
What a top stress monster!
The other end.
Li Xingluo's emotions also stabilized: "Father, before Madam Pu died, she told me the secret method of contacting those crazy people. What do you think... should I trick them a few more times to solve the incense tide?"
Li Hong glanced at the four magic stones on the table, thought for a moment, and nodded, "The patience of those lunatics has obviously been worn out. Although they wanted to play chess on both sides this time and were stopped by you, there will inevitably be more actions. If you are prepared, you can indeed try."
"actually……"
Li Xingluo felt a little guilty: "I have never dealt with those crazy people, so I don't have much confidence. Please teach me, father!"
Li Hong immediately smiled: "Of course! These days, you should come to Yongqing Palace more often to accompany your father. When you are ready, it won't be too late to meet those lunatics again."
"Ok!"
Li Xingluo immediately felt relieved and said, "Oh, Father! These sacred stones should not be enough to rebuild the Great Saint Temple. Why not wait another year and take six more stones then..."
"There's no rush for this, we'll talk about it later."
Li Hong smiled and waved his hands. In fact, he was not so anxious to rebuild the Great Sage Temple before.
Even if the problem of the tide of incense is not solved, the aftertaste can be enjoyed for a few more years.
In recent years, he has been sending his evil officials to fight wars abroad. Although this has consumed a lot of military expenditure, the country has been recuperating and encouraging childbirth, and the national strength has recovered to its heyday.
Now that Annan's elite troops have been formed and the army has been successfully restructured, if they can hold on for a few more years, they will be basically invincible.
By then, even if the Great Sage Temple no longer existed, the replica of the Xianliang Temple would be enough to keep those tamed evil officials.
of course.
These were his previous ideas.
Now it seems that we must stop "God" from playing chess on both sides.
I really underestimated them!
I didn’t expect that besides the Pu family, there is another branch!
Fortunately, Wenling is located in Daqian. If they fail this time, it will be even more difficult to succeed next time.
Li Hong looked at the magic stone on the table and suddenly smiled and said, "Xingluo! My father wants to build four immortal cities in Daqian. I wonder if you are willing to help me!"
"Immortal City!?"
Li Xingluo was a little confused.
Li Hong grabbed her wrist: "Follow me!"
Everyone walked to the map.
Li Hong quickly pointed four times on the map and gave a brief explanation. Everyone instantly understood the significance of these four fairy cities.
Although Daqian was prosperous, there were actually many areas that were not well controlled or were not developed enough.
For example, Lingnan was in such chaos before that the imperial court had no energy to intervene.
Another example is Annan. Although the public security is good, its economy has not kept up due to various factors.
The so-called four fairy cities are four large cities of secondary capital level built in Lingnan, Annan, the north and the northwest respectively, to completely open up the trade arteries of Daqian.
of course.
It is quite difficult to build cities in these four places. Annan and the north are okay, but Lingnan and the northwest are quite difficult just because of the terrain factors.
If we only rely on conventional manpower, I'm afraid it may take even ten years to build these two cities.
However, Li Hong's intention was to use four sacred stones to build four large temples of virtue and goodness to attract all the demon officials who could work. Then all the master craftsmen would go out together to directly produce the highest production capacity.
If all goes well, it could be done within two years.
After all... Emperor Li Hong knew very well that Taoist Kongxu was not just there to eat for nothing.
There is only one difficulty.
That is to build the Temple of Virtuous and Good to attract evil officials, which is suspected of digging up the foundation of the Temple of Great Sage. It is also unknown how the Temple of Great Sage will fight back.
of course.
This is a problem for later.
The key now is the significance of these four "immortal cities".
If they were really created by Li Xingluo, with such great achievements and fame, what basis does the prince have to compete for the throne?
and so……
Was this plan successful?
Li Xingluo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Qin Muye, then he quickly bowed down: "As long as the emperor trusts me, I will do my best!"
Li Hong stroked his beard and laughed: "You can't escape this matter. Take a good rest for a few days first. Don't tire yourself out. Go down!"
"Yes!"
"Muye, you guys should go back too. I have something to say to your father."
"Yes!"
Watched a few younger generations leave.
"Kaijiang, what did I say? You still don't believe it!"
Li Hong laughed heartily, and then he started coughing violently, with blood splattering and tears streaming down his face.
Qin Kaijiang suddenly felt anxious: "Your Majesty!"
"It's okay! Ahem!"
Li Hong wiped the blood from his palms: "Everyone will die one day, and I have lived enough. It is my fortune to see Xing Luo grow up before I die!"
Qin Kaijiang did not respond.
The atmosphere in the hall fell silent for a while.
Li Hong's smile gradually faded: "What else do you want to say?"
Qin Kaijiang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty! Be careful!"
Li Hong was unusually irritated: "How can I be more cautious? It is indeed unstable to be involved in those crazy people's things. But Pu Minglong and Runyue are not calm in nature, so it is a miracle that they can control their minds.
Although Zhiyi couldn't control himself, it was because he was too young.
Actually, this is also my fault as a father.
Now you have seen Xing Luo’s performance…”
Qin Kaijiang interrupted in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty! Be careful!"
Li Hong: “???”
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.
finally.
Li Hong waved his hand impatiently: "Let's not talk about this for now! Kaijiang, go help me do something!"
"what's up?"
"Go kill Runyue!"
"..."
Qin Kaijiang's face stiffened slightly. When he heard Li Xingluo talking about the Memory Gu just now, he already felt that something bad was going to happen.
Because from that perspective, there is no one else except Li Runyue.
The eldest princess' collusion with Pu Minglong has obviously touched Li Hong's bottom line.
But if I kill her, Pu Minglong might...
……
The carriage was covered with soundproofing tape.
Li Xingluo lay on Qin Muye's shoulder and cried loudly.
Although it is still a long way from true success.
But the emotions that had been pent up for many years finally found an outlet.
Qin Muye didn't say anything to comfort her, but he and Bai Yuji patted her back gently.
Bai Yuji looked at this scene, feeling a little sad, yet also quite relieved.
Just get through this hurdle.
The two of them can live a stable life in Qian Country, and he can also leave with peace of mind.
Even though she thought so, she still couldn't stop feeling sad.
Even the body had a bad reaction.
Some... feel like vomiting!?!?
Bai Yuji was startled and quickly circulated his true energy to look inward.
Then, she discovered that a number of tiny meridians had appeared out of nowhere in her body, leading to her lower abdomen.
I am pregnant!?
She was a little bewildered.
This was clearly something she had been looking forward to for a long time.
She went undercover in Zhennan Mansion and stayed with Qin Muye just for this.
When the pregnancy is full term, it can be refined into a poison. Even if Qin Kaijiang really has the cultivation level of a god of war, there is a high probability that he can be killed!
Killing is revenge!
me……
This is clearly what I have been thinking about day and night.
But now that day has finally come, why am I so panicked?
She looked at Qin Muye.
I found that he was patting Li Xingluo's back with one hand and holding her with the other hand, and they never separated.
Bai Yuji was confused. Should I really kill the child of Muye and I?
Qin Muye saw that her face looked strange and thought she was jealous.
When she lived in Wenling, she would occasionally look strange.
It’s not her fault.
Those days were indeed a bit absurd.
We have to find a way to remedy this.
When Li Xingluo's crying became a little calmer, he leaned close to Bai Yuji's ear and said, "My dear, your birthday is coming soon."
"Yeah! What's wrong?"
Bai Yuji lowered her head. When she got married, she did not give a false birth date. It was not surprising that Qin Muye knew this.
Qin Muye smiled and said, "Do you still remember the birthday present I owed you on your birthday?"
"Um……"
Bai Yuji's nose felt a little sour, and she felt like crying: "Folk song?"
