Chapter 565: Having a Son
Li Qinghong accepted the feather coat and thanked Chu Minglian. This old man was originally sent by the Ning family, and the compensation was calculated by the Ning family. However, Li Qinghong took a storage bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand.
Chu Minglian didn't accept it, so Li Qinghong only said softly:
"Senior Chu's skill in refining weapons is superb. My family may be in trouble in the future. Our two families have been close for a long time. Please accept it, senior."
Chu Mingliang hesitated for a moment, and finally put it into his arms, pushed up his sleeves, and then retreated. Li Qinghong sent him out of the palace, just as the golden sky in the north flowed, flickered twice, and gradually faded away.
She calculated the direction, and it was exactly where the ruins fell:
"Presumably the relics have been divided up, and the remaining leftovers that have no energy to take away are left for the ordinary disciples of the sects to pick up."
Not only Li Qinghong, but also all the cultivators around him have taken it for granted. After all, as long as there are relics and caves in the sky every year, they must be divided among the various sects, and ordinary cultivators can't get the slightest bit of it.
She took a closer look, and saw a golden light rising from there, dragging its tail flames on the wind. It slowly enlarged, from far to near, and stopped in front of her. It turned out to be a woman in Hunan clothes, with flowing robes on her body, and holding a hand in her hand. Golden beads.
She stopped in front of the formation and smiled:
"But Qinghong is in the formation? Xuanyue Kong Tingyun is here to visit!"
"Sister Tingyun."
Li Qinghong just paused for a moment and immediately understood that Xuanyue also had a share in the unknown ruins. Kong Tingyun was now in the late stage of foundation building, so she was naturally sent there.
Kong Tingyun had just come back from the north, but her breath was very stable and her clothes were neat. She didn't look like she was coming back from a big battle, but she looked like she had broken through the barrier after practicing diligently.
She was as enthusiastic as ever, falling into the formation, smiling sweetly, and said softly:
"I have some official duties here. I heard that my sister is stationed nearby. The things at hand are over, so I came to take a look immediately."
Li Qinghong let everyone disperse, pulled her into the cave, and replied:
"We haven't seen each other for several years. Tingyun has really changed a lot."
Kong Tingyun now looks much more noble, maybe she just came out of the cave. Although her eyebrows are still smiling, the clothes and magic power on her body reveal a sharp taste.
"It's a chance, but the friendship has not changed in the end, so Qinghong doesn't want to let anyone know about it."
Kong Tingyun smiled and shook her head, sat next to her, and whispered:
"There were so many people talking about it before that I couldn't say much, so I said it was a matter of clan affairs, but in fact it was just the [Donning Palace] that fell down. I saw many people and things in it... only a few months, it felt like years. "
Li Qinghong nodded softly, and Kong Tingyun continued:
"In my early years, my family's power was between Xu and Ning. I arrived in Jiangnan after the clan rebellion. I have some knowledge of these things. I benefited from [Donning Palace] and heard some news."
She whispered:
"Does Qinghong still remember the Wrathful Maha Dharma Wisdom?"
After hearing the name, Li Qinghong looked serious and replied:
"Of course I can't forget it."
Li Tongya died for this matter, not only Li Qinghong, who in the Li family didn't know? Kong Tingyun just said:
"He cultivated for nine generations, and was only one step away from the Dharma. He fell in Bianyan Mountain. The Wrathful Dao, which was originally a sporadic orthodoxy, suddenly declined..."
"But I met a monk there and collected information from him... He said that in the early years of Angry Dao, there was a loyal Lianmin who returned from Mobei and was seriously injured in a sneak attack, but escaped and disappeared."
Li Qinghong met her eyes keenly, and his heart jumped like lightning:
‘Is this really a collection of information? Or did Chang Xi use Ting Yun’s words to remind him? ’
There is no difference between the former and the latter. Chang Xi showed his favor to him more than once or twice. Li Qinghong thanked him quickly, but Kong Tingyun waved her hand and said solemnly:
"Qinghong doesn't need to thank me, it's not just this... there's also trouble."
"First, there was a mage who escaped into the noble's territory and was killed. This mage is an Arhat with five pitiful eyes... He values it very much, and killing is the first connection... I'm afraid there will be trouble again."
"Secondly... there is Lianmin in the north, whose dharma name is [Nuzi]. He seems to be eyeing Senior Yi Xuanfeng and is observing silently in the dark. Although there are many Zifus in front of him who dare not take action... But it is really uncomfortable..."
After calculating the causes and consequences, three Lianxins were eyeing the Li family. Li Qinghong's heart sank when he heard this, and he cupped his hands and thanked:
"Thank you Xianmen for reminding me...I will remember the kindness."
Kong Tingyun waved her hand and replied:
"There is also good news. In the early years, the nobles asked my family for news about Mingyang spiritual objects. I never got the news. Now I finally saw the Mingyang Zifu spiritual object [Mingfang Tianshi] in the [Dongning Palace]. !”
The Li family inquired several times about the spiritual beings, and the Cui family originally pointed the way to the Ning family, but Li Xuanfeng asked once and found out that the element had indeed obtained [Su Yuanhua] from the East Fire Cave Heaven.
But he had long ago exchanged this spiritual object for [Suidong Han Qi] with Master Puyu overseas to help Ning Wan break through, and this thing fell into the hands of Master Puyu. This real person's mountain gate was hard to find and disappeared without a trace. No whereabouts.
Hearing her words, Li Qinghong suddenly became excited, quickly cast his gaze and asked:
"But it fell into my sister's hands?"
Kong Tingyun shook her head regretfully and whispered:
"I was in danger at that time, and I only took a quick glance. The hexagonal white stone shone brightly, and the light and fire exchanged around me, burning the surrounding clouds into orange. It was the [Mingfang Tianshi]."
"This [Mingfang Tianshi] was robbed by everyone, and later fell into the hands of Yu Fuzi from Changxiao Gate."
Li Qinghong was silent, but Kong Tingyun raised her eyebrows and whispered:
"This person has some strength and has a grudge against me, but I don't know where he is now..."
Kong Tingyun's intention was slightly revealed, but Li Qinghong's heart sank.
The relationship between Changxiao Clan and Xuanyue Clan is not good. Li Qinghong’s own family actually killed people from Changxiao Clan, but it has not been exposed yet.
Kong Tingyun never thought about exchanging things, and she probably didn't realize that there was anything in the Li family that could tempt Yu Fuzi, but Li Qinghong couldn't just follow her words and remain silent.
Kong Tingyun said softly:
"Yu Fuzi is a direct descendant of Changxiao. One of the two Zifus of Changxiao Gate should be watching in Taixu... It's really difficult... This news has been sent. If the nobles have allies, they can give it a try and consider it themselves. "
Li Qinghong thanked him softly. Kong Tingyun was naturally referring to Xiao Chuting. However, in recent years, the Xiao family has become more and more low-key and cannot go out. Xiao Chuting is not in Jiangnan all the year round. The Xiao family avoids everything and most of them cannot help.
Kong Tingyun chatted for a few words, and then said goodbye. Li Qinghong sent him all the way back to the cave, thought about it carefully, and silently wrote a letter.
…
Li family.
The winter snow is falling, and this year's snow is heavier. The cold snow on the shore is accumulated on the long stone wall, gray and white are distinct. A few pedestrians pass by in a hurry, holding new quilts in their hands.
The dam by the river was originally built due to the flood caused by the death of the ancestor of the Yuan family. The lake water receded very early, leaving a long gray-white dam wall.
Li Zhouwei was wearing a black cloak and walking casually along the snow-covered road, followed only by An Siwei and Chen Yang.
His father, Li Chengliao, was already at an advanced stage of Qi training, and he gradually handed over the family affairs into his hands and went up the mountain to practice. Although Li Zhouwei had never taken over as the head of the family, everything in the family had already fallen into his hands.
In the previous generations of the Li family's restructuring, there was a tendency to separate secular clan affairs and Qingdu immortal affairs, just like the brothers Li Yuanping, Li Yuanjiao, Li Xi'ao and Li Xijun... but now it is different.
When Li Xijun was seriously injured on Qingdu Mountain and Li Ximing went into seclusion, Li Zhouwei took the decision. Li Chengliao delegated power again, and the affairs of the middle hall also fell into the hands of Li Zhouwei.
He took it calmly, sitting in the middle hall once a day, writing like a dragon, solving dozens of complicated family affairs in a quarter of an hour, shaking his robe and returning to Qingdu Mountain without any delay.
Now that I have been practicing for a long time, I still have time to look at people's livelihood by the lake.
The golden light in his eyes flowed slightly, and on his shoulder stood a cyan bird transformed by the magical weapon [Qing Xuan]. This magical weapon was given by Yuan Tuan, and the transformed bird came alive.
"How are the arrangements for the surviving families of the seven families?"
Li Zhouwei asked softly, holding his hands on his chest. After hearing this, Chen Yang, who was behind him, immediately said:
"They have already entered various towns and obeyed orders. These people are very diligent in treating sinners, but their status is lower than other families."
The surviving families that Li Zhouwei mentioned were naturally the families left after the Yu family split. These families were all taken to the southernmost part of Shanyue and competed with other tribes.
An Siwei responded calmly:
"Your Majesty, the seven families now all use Nanzhang Mountain, the southernmost part of Shanyue, as their name. They all claim to be from Nanzhang, and they will never mention the past."
"Quite smart."
Li Zhouwei responded casually, keeping Nanzhang in mind and thinking to himself:
"It's actually a very useful clan... They are not afraid of offending others, and they live in a dangerous place. It's a dangerous place. If they are used a little more, they won't wipe out the clan, and they can also check and balance the internal clan."
When An Siwei said, "They all claim to be from Nanzhang," Li Zhouwei understood that these seven tribes were deliberately sharing the same enemy. Firstly, they could deal with the local Shanyue tribe, and secondly, they could also have a place in the towns where various surnames were fighting overtly and covertly.
Over the past hundred years, the Li family has already been divided into factions. Just like Chen Yang behind him, he represents the Chen family, but he is also the leader of one of the four towns in Lijing among the peaks.
An Siwei naturally represents the seven towns of Huayu, and the other branches of the Li family, the eight towns of Wutu, the four towns of Huaqian, the eighteen towns of Milin, and the twenty-six towns of Dongshanyue...each of them is fighting against the outside world, and there are also internal discords. The level of complexity is completely different from what it was a hundred years ago.
Among them, the Lijing family was the most powerful. Li Zhouwei had always had a bad reputation for reemploying Chen Yang, who was not liked by other families, and wanted to win over An Siwei, who was convinced by the Huayu family. Naturally, this was out of consideration.
He was thinking of promoting one or two people in Nanzhang, but he saw the leader hurriedly came forward to report:
"Your Highness! News from the clan's main courtyard!"
The confidant took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Zhouwei. He opened it and took a look at it, and there was a rare joy in his eyebrows.
"Xu Peiyu is pregnant."
Xu Peiyu was the first one Li Zhouwei welcomed into the house. Although he later married people from the An family and the Tian family, and now has four concubines to calm people's hearts, Xu Peiyu still has some weight in his heart.
"No wonder."
This woman only wanted to have sex with him every day when she saw him, and she would not rest until she was exhausted. There was no news for the past two days, so I thought she was finally taking a break, and it turned out that she was pregnant.
He collected the letter in his hand, waved the two of them away, and rode the wind to Mount Lijing, landing on the white jade-like courtyard of the middle hall. The guards on both sides prostrated themselves, and Li Zhouwei stepped straight inside.
"See Your Highness!"
On both sides, a white-armored court guard immediately bowed down, jade swords jingled and jingled, and they were spread out neatly. The voices of all the people were uniform, echoing in the hall.
Li Zhouwei's boots made an icy sound on the ground. He was different from his father Li Chengliao. Li Chengliao would stop for a moment to let the guards get up, but he walked all the way to the end of the hall, and then he said:
"Get up!"
After walking a few steps forward, I soon arrived at the back hall. My father, Li Chengliao, only had one wife. This place had always been empty in the past, but now it is fuller. You can often see maids hurriedly passing by.
Xu Peiyu's palace was very close. Li Zhouwei entered the palace and saw a doctor coming forward, bowing respectfully and shouting:
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Xu is already one month pregnant."
The doctor raised his eyelids, but did not hear a word. He only saw the shiny jade boots standing motionless in front of him.
'It is often said that adults are prone to mood swings... It is indeed so...'
He felt sweat dripping down his forehead and listened to the voice of the person in front of him:
"One month?"
Li Zhouwei's voice was a little cold. He had seen Xu Peiyu several times this month. Li Zhouwei was a monk, how could he not see whether she was pregnant? He just felt that this person's medical skills were not good and he was talking nonsense.
"Husband."
But Xu Peiyu hurriedly came up to him. Li Zhouwei glanced at her belly and his expression eased a lot. He waved his hand to let the sweaty guy go down and carefully observed Xu Peiyu's face.
Sure enough, although she was in high spirits, her eye circles were a little dark, revealing a faint decline in energy, and her cheeks were much thinner than usual. Li Zhouwei followed her into the hall in silence.
There was a golden light in his eyes, and his face was gloomy:
'This child is less than ten days old, but already looks like a month old...'
Xu Peiyu was still unaware, and pulled him to talk about this and that. Li Zhouwei calmly comforted her. The woman stared at his eyes sensitively and whispered:
"I often feel dizzy and my body is deficient in blood and qi these days. I almost fainted several times. I'm afraid I need more tonics..."
"I'll arrange it... Please ask the elders to take a look first."
Li Zhouwei had an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked at her carefully, stepped out slowly, and flew straight up, leaving her waiting in the hall.
It was not until Li Zhouwei disappeared that Xu Peiyu's expression revealed a bit of panic. She felt that all the energy in her body was flowing into her stomach. She sat in her seat blankly, with a slight fear in her heart.
Every time she made love with Li Zhouwei, the fragrance of peony was intoxicating, almost making her lose her mind. After waiting for Li Zhouwei to leave for a long time, Xu Peiyu slowly felt scared, but when he walked to the front of the palace, she went to greet him in ecstasy.
"Your Highness is magical and powerful, charming and soul-stirring, with yellow eyes and golden pupils, not like a human but like a demon..."
"How can a person give birth to a child with a demon... How can this be justified? I'm afraid it will easily swallow me to death!"
"Like a demon..."
Xu Peiyu didn't dare to tell anyone, and even her family only said that having a child was a good thing. At that moment, she felt cold in her feet and sat in silence. It seemed that a big stone fell in her stomach, pressing Xu Peiyu to breathe.
^I have received your suggestion. I will hold off for now and update for you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
