Chapter 220: Opening up the frontier! Otherwise, you kneel down to Muye?
In Yongqing Palace.

Not only the father and daughter, but also several elders from the clan government, all of whom have a say in the clan. Although they cannot decide who will own the throne, they must participate in the process of the new emperor's ascension to the throne to ensure that Qian Kingdom remains the kingdom of the Li family.

of course.

If they are particularly dissatisfied with the new emperor and really want to offer honest advice, the emperor really cannot ignore their opinions.

At the same time, they are also the group of people who know the secrets of totem source energy and prehistoric totems best.

Therefore, they are also the people who are most resistant to Emperor Li Xingluo Deng in theory.

But Old Li had already made arrangements.

When Li Hong died, he wrote a suicide note expressing his optimism for Li Xingluo.

There is also the Memory Gu, and the video of Li Xingluo conquering the altar was also released.

In addition, there are Li Xingluo’s political achievements in Lingnan in the past two years, plus Qin Muye’s multiple identities.

The combination of several buffs basically dispelled the doubts of several clan members.

of course.

The main reason is that Li Zhixuan is too amazing. In comparison, the bloodline of the God's messenger does not seem to be unacceptable.

Yes!
It is true that Li Hong has other princes.

But even if another prince was replaced, it would be difficult for him to do better than Li Zhixuan.

As soon as a person ascends to the throne, the things he considers will become different.

The Qin family is a magical army that kills enemies.

But it is also a sharp blade that can easily lead to self-destruction.

Very few people can grasp it well.

Now it seems that Li Xingluo is just the right person.

Because Qin Muye is a member of the Qin family and has great prestige in the Qin family, he is incompatible with Qin Kaijiang, the head of the family.

Li Hong smiled and said, "Everyone! When Xingluo ascends the throne, please give us your assistance! Xingluo, let me toast to all the elders."

Li Xingluo smiled slightly, raised his glass and stood up: "The Li family's empire has been able to continue to this day, and the predecessors of each generation have made great contributions. Daqian was once facing collapse, and it was able to recover its prosperity in more than 20 years, thanks to the hard work of the elders. This glass of wine, Xingluo toasts to you all, and may Daqian live forever!"

"Long live the Great Qian!"

"Long live the Great Qian!"

"Long live the Great Qian!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all, looking at Li Xingluo with increasingly warm eyes.

I don’t know if it’s because of the contrast with Li Zhixuan.

The Grand Master of the Imperial Clan could not help but sigh, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would have so many children. I didn't expect that the one who most resembles Your Majesty is actually only Princess Di. This is a blessing in disguise."

"Hahaha!"

Li Hong was already slightly tipsy, and his face was flushed as he looked at his daughter: "Xingluo has been like me since she was young, decisive, clear-headed, and willing to take action. Xingluo, do you still remember when you were ten years old, you beat all the princes so hard that they avoided you?"

Li Xingluo smiled and said, "Of course I remember! At that time, several of my brothers and sisters went to the emperor to complain, but he scolded them severely."

The father and daughter talked about the past with smiles on their faces, and there was a harmonious atmosphere in the hall.

Everyone in the clan house was also listening with great interest, and was obviously immersed in this warm atmosphere.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone from the clan house left.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.

The warmth between father and daughter disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed.

silence.

silence.

Still silent.

Li Hong crushed the stiff smile on his face and asked in a gentle voice, "Xingluo, did you remember everything your father told you yesterday?"

Li Xingluo nodded: "I've remembered all of this! After I ascend the throne, I will definitely solve these problems as soon as possible and eliminate future troubles for Daqian."

"Um……"

Li Hong suddenly felt that he had nothing to say, because Li Xingluo had obviously figured out those hidden dangers before he told her, and she had considered them very carefully. With her means, there was no need to worry about whether she could solve them.

and so.

Say what?

There's nothing to say, just let her go back like this?
Could it be... that she is really allowed to go back like this?

She went back.

I am the only one left in the palace.

Li Hong felt a pang of pain in his heart. Ever since he faked his death and lived in seclusion, he could feel the aging more and more. The emotions that he had discarded during his twenty years in power seemed to be returning to his body little by little.

Today.

The climax was reached three days before the actual abdication.

He felt a little sour in his heart.

After struggling for a long time, his pale lips moved: "Xingluo, do you blame your father?"

Li Xingluo looked calm and said seriously, "As the monarch, Father should have chosen the most suitable new monarch for Daqian. Although there was a misjudgment in the process, no one can predict the future.

At that time, my father's life span was very short, so he was indeed inclined to choose a more conservative choice. These are the faults of time, not my father's. In my heart, my father is still the only emperor who can be compared with Taizu since the founding of Daqian. "

Li Hong was somewhat touched. What he admired most was that Li Xingluo could always find the most rational angle to think about problems.

This is an excellent quality for a monarch.

But...this was not what he wanted to ask.

He took a deep breath and forced a smile: "What I want to ask you is, as a daughter, are you willing to forgive me as a father?"

Li Xingluo's answer was straightforward: "I can't forgive you!"

Li Hong: “…”

Even though he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel a bitter emotion in his heart.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Li Xingluo said calmly: "Father! What you need is just a qualified new monarch, never a filial daughter. After I ascend the throne, I will live up to your expectations and strive to be even better than you.

But as a daughter, I can't find any reason to convince myself to forgive you.

So don't mention this matter again. You need to take good care of your body now and don't let too many things go wrong."

Li Hong: “…”

He was silent for a long time.

Suddenly she forced a smile and said, "I know! Go back and have a good rest. You must show the spirit and energy of the Queen of Daqian at the coronation ceremony in three days!"

Li Xingluo stood up and solemnly assured: "Don't worry, Father! I will live up to the reputation of Daqian!"

Say it.

Bowed.

Turn around and leave.

Li Hong slumped in the chair, looking in the direction she left for a long time without saying a word.

When I was drinking with the old man from the Li family in front of the hall just now, the scene of the loving father and filial daughter was still vivid in my mind.

At this moment, it seems like a lifetime ago.

He closed his eyes and thought of Pu Wanjun's gentle smile. Even before her death, she was lying in his arms, looking at him with deep affection.

But all of this was designed by myself.

There is also Li Zhiyi, whose talent is even higher than Li Xingluo. Throughout the hundreds of years since the founding of Daqian, there are few royal children who are so smart.

However, because he wanted to verify whether the bloodline of the messenger of God could be saved, he used the totem source energy to release the demon in his bloodline prematurely.

Torturing a child to the point of excruciating pain.

At the critical moment of life and death, he not only guessed her thoughts, but also forced her personal nanny to kill him personally to save the life of her newborn sister.

And Li Xingluo...

Ever since I was old enough to understand, I have been forced to become a sharp blade, but in the end, I almost gave it up because I didn't have enough courage.

Even her last chance was bought with her husband giving up three years of his life.

Own……

How can I deserve forgiveness?

His daughter is very clear-headed. She knows how to separate the identities of emperor and father, and can look at everything in Daqian rationally.

Instead, I was confused and even wanted to forcibly seize the title of "benevolent father".

So greedy!

Li Hong rubbed his sore eyes, feeling only endless disappointment in his heart.

The throne is supreme.

People who sit in this position can easily get many things that people in the world desire.

But you are also destined not to get some things that ordinary people take for granted.

Before I die, I just want some warmth from my father.

But I can only get...

In the words of folk performers.

Show filial piety in front of the hall!

The tenderness between a father and daughter can only be seen when an outsider is watching.

Because the new emperor also needs an image of filial piety.

Come to think of it, I am really pitiful.

"Ugh!"

Li Hong sighed and slowly stood up.

He was hunched over and seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.

……

Baiyue.

Pu Minglong punched the mountain wall wildly.

The rocks were intact, but cracks were already all over the inside. It would only take one rain to cause the mountains to collapse and the earth to shake.

Tushan Qinglan was lying on a branch nearby, crossing her legs and eating melon seeds.

It was fine at the beginning. I was humming a song while eating melon seeds.

But seeing that Pu Minglong had lost his mind, her fair brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

at last.

She jumped down from the branch: "Hey! Pu Minglong, you don't have to be so angry. Boss Qin's plan was perfect. It was a sure win. You didn't lose!"

Damn!

Are you so comforting to others?
Are you saying that Qin Muye and I are not at the same level, so it is natural for me to lose, and you want me to not be angry?

Pu Minglong's eyes were red, and he snorted coldly: "I didn't expect you to be able to comfort people!"

Tu Shan Qing Lan was a little embarrassed: "My main mission is to protect your safety. If you commit suicide, my salary will be deducted."

Pu Minglong: “…”

Tushan Qinglan saw that he was obviously still not out of his depression.

He quickly continued to make amends: "And you have to think positively about many things! For example, that poor guy hired me to protect you, with the additional condition that if you unify the world, he will forcibly seal your cultivation.

Now you have obviously lost everything and there is no possibility of unifying the world.

Think about it, don't you have to worry about me sealing your cultivation?"

Pu Minglong's temples throbbed: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome! It's what I should do for the reward."

Tu Shan Qing Lan waved her hand modestly: "By the way! One more thing, the longest term of my mission is seven years. In the remaining five years, you don't have to worry about your safety. Even if Boss Qin comes to kill you, I will fight him to the death. This is my professional ethics, you have to believe me!
But Boss Qin has always been very nice to me and never made things difficult for me, so they never made a move on you in the past five years. Tell me, you are such a nice person, why did you mess with him?"

Pu Minglong's eyelids twitched wildly: "In other words, you won't protect me in five years?"

He was really a little panicked.

The main reason was that Qin Muye was too ruthless. With one counterattack, he directly destroyed all the upper-level forces of the Demon King Palace. Moreover, after he and Ao Jin devoured a large number of divine beasts' blood essences and demon pills, it was only a matter of time before they broke through to the upper level of the Demon King. Maybe they were already preparing for the breakthrough.

The Qin family father and son, Taizu's Dharma body, and the guardian dragon of the country.

With four top combat forces, Qian Kingdom is destined to reach its peak.

What are you?
Why do you expect a comeback?
After five years, even Tushan Qinglan doesn't protect me anymore. How can I continue to live?
Tushan Qinglan seemed to see his doubts.

I wanted to tell him about the crack to comfort him.

But after thinking about it, Boss Qin still wanted to kill him, so he swallowed the news of the crack.

She waved her hand: "Call me whenever you need anything, but don't look for me when you have nothing to do! I'm going to Qianguo Kyoto. The boss lady is going to ascend the throne, and there are many tables for free."

Say it.

With a whoosh, it disappeared from the spot.

Pu Minglong: “…”

You eat the feast.

What do I eat?
The bitter fruit of failure?
He could no longer control the rage in his heart, and with one blow, the mountain, which was already riddled with holes inside, collapsed.

Qin expands its territory!
Qin Muye!
It's you again!

You people with the surname Qin are my nemesis!
How to do?
How to do?
At this moment, he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his dantian.

The magic stone lit up.

The voice of the charlatan rang directly in my mind: "Don't worry, I have a way to help you!"

Pu Minglong frowned: "Why can you talk to me directly without my consent?"

"Simple!"

The charlatan couldn't wait any longer: "Because this world has been exposed!"

Pu Minglong was shocked: "So, you can send someone in?"

The charlatan nodded slightly: "Not only me, other forces will also send people. By then, this world will be in chaos, and there will be many opportunities to fish in troubled waters!"

Pu Minglong: “…”

There are many opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

But I'm afraid I'm that fish.

It seems that the one who wants to touch me the most is you, the charlatan!
……

It was quiet for several days.

Zhennan Prefecture became lively again.

The two pregnant women who had gone back to Annan in advance on the pretext of returning have returned, and the Qin family generals who almost died in the northern border have also returned.

Qin Mingri, whose body was cut into pieces like a chessboard by the spatial turbulence, also came back.

Reunion.

Everyone's mood was extremely complicated. From having a bad premonition to this premonition becoming a reality which was several times greater than their guess, almost everyone's mentality collapsed at one point.

Especially the mother and son You Tianjiao and Qin Mingri, who had exchanged information in Annan.

For a while, they really intended to inform all the Annan troops of the news of the young emperor's backstabbing.

But finally.

They still chose to believe that Qin Muye could overcome the danger.

Fortunately...

The bet was right!
Everything was averted and they quickly rushed back to Kyoto to prepare to attend the new emperor's coronation ceremony.

Ironically, the new emperor was also the Qin family's marriage partner, and the one that the Qin family head tried his best to prevent from ascending the throne.

The new emperor's husband is Qin Muye.

He was Qin Muye, who was removed from the position of crown prince and almost killed by Qin Kaijiang several times.

of course.

They all knew that although Qin Muye had severed his father-son relationship with Qin Kaijiang, he still treated his younger brothers and sisters as family members.

Moreover, Qin Muye is very principled in his actions and it is impossible for him to vent his anger on the entire Qin family because of Qin Kaijiang.

But Li Xingluo...

To be honest, just by listening to Li Xingluo's experience, they felt that the Qin family had let her down.

Can Qin Muye persuade the new emperor?
In other words, is Qin Muye willing to persuade him?
The Qin family was extremely nervous, mainly because they were frightened by Li Zhixuan.

They had no idea what was going on.

After another member went home, they became even more troubled.

This member is Qin Mingxin.

She came back with the child in her arms.

"Ming Xin!"

You Tianjiao went up to him with great heartache.

"mother!"

Qin Mingxin broke down in tears on the spot. Since Li Zhixuan became the fake emperor, she became the fake queen. Naturally, she had no reason to live in the palace.

She had moved out after that grand court meeting.

But it happened that during those days, the child caught a cold and became very ill. He didn't dare go out easily, so she could only stay there.

I thought someone would come to catch him, but no one did. Li Xingluo even sent another imperial physician to help the child recuperate.

When the child felt better, she came back as if she was escaping.

Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying.

Qin Kaijiang's temples twitched. He knew too well the grudges Qin Muye and Li Xingluo had towards him. He couldn't guarantee whether the Qin family's situation in the future would be better than when Li Zhixuan was in power.

From any perspective, in order to protect themselves, the Qin family should stay away from this fake queen.

But Li Hong warned him in advance not to mess around, and said that with his not-so-good eyes and brain, he couldn't handle such a complicated matter.

and so.

He chose silence.

Seeing his eyes twitching, Qin Yanying immediately became annoyed. She walked directly to the mother and daughter and said with an exaggerated smile, "Stop crying! The fact that you can come back means that my niece-in-law doesn't blame you. What's there to cry about for dumping a domestic violence man with brain palsy?"

Qin Kaijiang rubbed his temple painfully and continued to remain silent.

Qin Mingxin stopped crying, but her voice was still tearful: "Mom! I was wrong, I shouldn't be so utilitarian..."

Since she was a child, You Tianjiao has always doted on her because she feels that she is the daughter who is most like her.

So many things were taught to her by You Tianjiao, and for most things, as long as she wanted to do something, You Tianjiao would definitely agree.

Only that time, Qin Kaijiang asked his daughters if they were willing to marry Li Zhixuan. Of course she was a hundred percent willing, but You Tianjiao privately dissuaded her several times, saying that there was nothing wrong with pursuing power and status, but marrying Li Zhixuan would probably make her unhappy for the rest of her life, and asked her to give this opportunity to other sisters.

But she didn't listen.

While You Tianjiao was not paying attention, she rode her horse to Kyoto late at night, aiming for the position of queen.

But the result...

"Stop talking about this!"

You Tianjiao held Qin Mingxin's hand and said, "You haven't contacted Li Zhixuan these days, have you?"

Qin Mingxin quickly said, "The prison sent people several times saying that he wanted to see the child before he died, but I pretended not to hear it."

"That's good!"

You Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although the act of drawing a clear line between the two would hardly affect Li Xingluo's attitude, she must not make any stupid moves at this critical juncture.

She looked at Qin Mingxin: "Aren't you sad?"

"Not upset!"

Qin Mingxin quickly shook her head, and after a while, she whispered, "I didn't really love him. Now... I just want to raise the child."

Qin Yanying couldn't listen any more: "How can he not grow up? Stop wasting time, it's like a disaster is about to happen! Just listen to my advice, I'm the only one in the Qin family who has a keen eye, Muye and Xingluo are not that kind of people.

Don’t think about those trivial things, just eat and drink.

The combined brains of a family weigh less than half a pound, and they are thinking about a trivial political struggle?
Instead of spending this time, it would be better to think of new tactics that are suitable for combat flying boats.

Don't be so damn behind the times. When you get to the battlefield, you can't even use the flying boat formation. You are all so green that you have to pick your feet. When you are dismissed from your general position, you think that Muye is targeting you.

Is it cheap or not? "

Everyone: "..."

Qin Yanying glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes!"

Say it.

He pulled Chen Sui and walked towards the backyard.

Chen Sui panicked: "Yan Ying, this is not the direction of the kitchen!"

Qin Yanying cursed: "Nonsense! How could I not know? Stop talking nonsense, I've been holding back a lot of anger on the battlefield, come and help me vent it!"

Chen Sui: “???”

Main hall.

The atmosphere was still somewhat gloomy.

After all, among the entire Qin family, the person who has the closest relationship with Qin Muye is Qin Yanying.

Even if the Qin family collapsed, Qin Yanying would not be in any danger.

She doesn't have to worry.

Not on my own.

You Tianjiao lowered her voice: "Husband! You should have come back with Muye, he..."

Qin Kaijiang said with a straight face: "He said that he and Ao Jin are going to make a breakthrough and will be back before the new emperor ascends the throne."

"Isn't that tomorrow?"

You Tianjiao whispered, "Maybe he has already arrived, but doesn't want to see us? How about you go and look for him, so that we can have a family reunion dinner together? Don't put on airs, and bow your head to the child!"

Qin Kaijiang was silent for a while, then stood up without saying a word and walked straight out the door.

……

Yongqing Palace.

Li Hong looked at Qin Kaijiang with a downcast face and couldn't help but feel helpless: "If you go to the Princess's Mansion and don't find anyone, it means that Muye is really not here."

Qin Kaijiang repeated himself like a repeater: "Maybe he has already arrived, but doesn't want to see us?"

Li Hong: “…”

He rubbed his temples.

He rolled up the gray hair on his temples into a ball: "Trust me, Makino Xingluo is not that kind of person."

"What if?"

Qin Kaijiang's face was a little stiff: "Even if they really don't hold a grudge, they must be feeling uncomfortable. How about having a reunion dinner together to ease the tension?"

Li Hong: “…”

Why are you like a stubborn donkey?

He was a little annoyed: "I can't even ease the relationship between Xingluo and I. What you did is worse than what I did. Why do you think you can ease it?"

Qin Kaijiang seemed to be completely unable to listen: "Your brain has always been working well, how about you think of a solution for me?"

Li Hong: “???”

You don't want to listen anymore, right?

He was really annoyed.

A failed and broken father.

Looking for advice from another failed and broken father?

Why do I feel like you are mocking me?
He looked Qin Kaijiang up and down, and suddenly a hint of evil interest flashed through his mind: "Kaijiang! How about you kneel down to Muye?"

Qin Kaijiang didn't even think about it: "Okay!"

Li Hong: “…”
