Chapter 1103: Love Is Colder than Blood

Li Chuyi was stunned, and then became angry.

"How can you talk? Do you know how to talk? You are incompetent, your whole family is incompetent! I am in good health, I can sleep with people all over the world, but I won't sleep with you, I'm a fool!"

Nalan Mingyue was stunned, and then she understood what Li Chuyi said, and she laughed so hard that tears came out.

"You... you are too dirty, I... Hahaha, I don't mean that, you can't blame anyone if you think too much!"

Li Chuyi was speechless, and knew that he had thought wrongly, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, he was also very wronged, and secretly felt that it was not his fault. It was because Li Sinian usually dragged him to say some dirty words, and it became a habit to say so many times, so he immediately thought of other things when he heard it, and secretly wondered if there was something else behind the words.

Feeling the meat balls on his head trembling non-stop, Li Chuyi was furious. He sent a voice message to scold Xiao Erhei a few words and strictly ordered it not to leak what happened today, otherwise it would be chopped and stewed into meat soup.

Under Xiao Erhei's repeated assurances, the little fat man looked at the shaking Nalan Mingyue with a helpless face.

"Have you laughed enough? Be careful not to suffocate yourself to death!"

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

"I will let the dog go if you laugh again!"

"Hahaha!"

"I really let it go!"

"Oh hehe, my stomach hurts..."

"...Heizi, give me..."

"Stop! I won't laugh anymore!"

Seeing that Li Chuyi was really angry, Nalan Mingyue hurriedly stopped.

Now she realized that although this fat man had a bad temper and a bad mouth, he was really an interesting person, completely different from those other pretentious nobles in the imperial capital.

Nalan Mingyue held back her smile and sat up, holding her stomach. The little fat man's angry face suddenly made another sound, and she waved her hand to beg for mercy only after her eyes widened.

"Stop making a fuss. Seriously, I really didn't mean that. You guys are just overthinking about me and the King of Zhenxi. I admire the King of Zhenxi very much, but I don't like him at all, so you don't have to think of ways to persuade me, because I don't mean what you think!"

"Then why are you so close to him?"

The little fat man was full of suspicion.

"I heard from your father that you can't wait to live in the Zhenxi Palace. If you don't like that old white-faced man, you can't be so attentive?"

Rolling her eyes, Nalan Mingyue said: "Of course I have my reasons, but I can't tell you. Anyway, it's not what you think. And can you stop calling 'old white-faced man' and 'old white-faced man' randomly? The Zhenxi King is your elder after all. If someone hears it later, even if he doesn't care, others will have opinions about you!"

"Opinions are opinions. I'm afraid of them?"

Sneering, Li Chuyi frowned and said: "Also, don't tell me about elders. He is a fart elder. If I call him 'uncle', do you think he dares to agree?"

Nalan Mingyue had a headache. She had heard that Li Chuyi had some conflicts with the Zhenxi King, but she didn't expect the grudge to be so deep.

Seeing that Li Chu didn't care at all, she was too lazy to persuade him. After thinking for a while, she said, "Anyway, just be careful. Although you have Grandpa Mu and Emperor Yanling to protect you, it's easier to avoid an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark. You'd better be careful. Also, don't blame me for not reminding you that in addition to the young ladies and young masters of several families, the Ninth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince and the Little Princess will also be present today. I think they may cause trouble for you. You should have an idea in your mind and think about how to deal with it."

"The princes and princesses are coming too? Didn't your father tell me? And what's going on with the Thirteenth Prince? Isn't Yuwen Xuanli dead?" The little fat man was stunned.

"Yuwen Xuanli is dead, but the fourteenth prince Yuwen Xuanshu is still alive. After him, one more person will be added, and he will naturally become the current thirteenth prince!" "Fuck him, the rules of Dayan are really awkward." The little fat man shook his head speechlessly, "These princes are the same, fighting and fighting without any brains. If I were to say, just kill all the people in front of them, and only one person would be left. Wouldn't he naturally become the prince? Stupid!" Nalan Mingyue sneered: "You think you are the only smart one, and others can't think of it? The fight for the throne of Dayan has rules, and fratricide is strictly prohibited. You can kill everyone around the other party and let him be a lonely man, but you must never touch the other party, otherwise... If you kill someone, it means you are murdering your own clan, and you will be convicted of a serious crime, and even your royal status will be stripped. Besides, who of the princes and princesses is a good person? Do you think you can kill them all you want? Moreover, there is a quota for the throne, and at least ten people must be guaranteed. If there are not enough, you will have to select from the Yuwen royal family. In other words, unless you can kill all the people in the Yuwen royal family who are qualified to compete for the throne, you can only compete with others according to the rules, and once the matter is exposed, you will be imprisoned, and you may even lose your life. "

The little fat man said with a curled mouth: "Isn't this just like raising a Gu!"

"That's right, it's raising a Gu!"

Nalan Mingyue nodded.

"The throne of Dayan is related to the people's livelihood and the country of Dayan, and it is related to the future of Dayan and even the future of the entire human world. How can we be careless? To be an emperor, we must select the best from the best, and the strongest one should be appointed. However, it is easy to get talented descendants, but it is difficult to produce talented people. Who among those who are qualified to compete is not talented? So their lives are very precious and cannot be squandered casually. However, no matter how good the unpolished jade is, it will not become a beautiful jade without being polished. In order to ensure the continuation of the imperial lineage, the ancestor emperor can only take this method and set the minimum guarantee rule of "no fratricide", and then let all the heirs compete like insects, until one person stands out and beats the heroes, and that person is the only choice for the prince."

"Then what are they competing for?" The little fat man asked curiously.

"A lot."

After a pause, Nalan Mingyue explained: "From cultivation to political principles, to dealing with people and even playing chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as they can show their talents, they are all in. But in the final analysis, it still depends on cultivation. The level of cultivation is the main basis for the ranking of princes, and other means are auxiliary. If there are those who are outstanding, they can also be promoted accordingly, but if the cultivation is not enough, they will still be eliminated."

Nodding, Li Chuyi secretly said that this is more like it.

The country of cultivators must naturally look like a cultivator. What political principles, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all bullshit. High cultivation is the hard truth.

It doesn't mean that the king of a country has to be the best in the world, but that only high cultivation can live long. Generally speaking, the life span of a cultivator is proportional to his cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the longer he lives. For a large-scale dynasty like Dayan, the durability and stability of the imperial power are the most important. The frequent changes of the throne are not conducive to the stability of the country, and also have a great impact on the stability of the imperial power.

No matter how talented a person is, if his cultivation is not enough, and he has only lived for less than 180 years, excluding the time of competition, such a person obviously cannot be entrusted with the throne.

Therefore, for these people now, Li Chuyi does not think that any of them has the opportunity to become the Yanhuang, because Yanlinghuang has not shown any signs of decline so far, no one knows how much he has cultivated and how many years he has left, but at present, it should be no problem to live for another three to five hundred years, and it is not impossible to live longer if he keeps in good health.

In other words, the youngest of these people now will probably have lived more than half of their lives by then, and this is still based on their cultivation to the Ascension Stage. If they cannot ascend, and only have the Taoism of overcoming tribulations, then the lifespan of less than a thousand years will make them old by the time the Yanhuang grows old.

Crown Prince?

Forget it, the Grand Master is more like it.

Clearing away all the worries, Li Chuyi asked: "Isn't there a rumor that the King of Yanling is interested in the throne? According to this, he and those princes and princesses should be enemies. Why are these people still getting close to him?"

"Do you think everyone has the same temper as you? If they are enemies, they must tear their faces and never have anything to do with each other?"

After squeezing the little fat man, Nalan Mingyue continued: "Besides, it has always been a rumor that the King of Zhenxi is interested in the throne. He himself has never expressed his position. The current rumors are all made up by those princes. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, based on the ability and prestige of the King of Zhenxi, other princes and princesses dare not show hostility even if they don't like him. On the contrary, they have to express goodwill appropriately and take the initiative to get close to him, so as not to completely put themselves on the opposite side of the princes. From another perspective, if the rumors are really false and are all imagined by the princes, then the favorability of the King of Zhenxi is very important. . "

"You should know that the princes and princesses are not allowed to interfere in the military, while the King of Zhenxi has the support of some people in the military, and even the initial skeleton of the prince's faction was built by those close to him in the military. So getting his support is equivalent to indirectly getting the support of the Dayan military. With the support of the military, the possibility of standing out is naturally greater. Besides, the King of Zhenxi is the younger brother of the current emperor, and he is also one of the few princes entrusted with important tasks. In the imperial capital, apart from the Sword Emperor Mansion who does not care about worldly affairs, his words are the most effective and can be listened to by the Emperor of Yanling. With him whispering in the emperor's ear, does the prince you support have a greater chance of being crowned the crown prince? "

"Sword Emperor Mansion? Is it the Sword Emperor Mansion that is known as the four major sword-fighting holy places together with the Mobei Mangshan Sword School, the Taixu Palace Divine Sword Peak, and the Nanming Sword School in the extreme south? "

If Nalan Mingyue hadn't mentioned it, Li Chuyi would have almost forgotten the Sword Emperor Mansion. The last time I heard about it was when I was learning swordsmanship from Ye Zhichen. Ye Zhichen told him that the "Ba Cang Sword Saint" of Dayan Sword Palace has his own style of swordsmanship. He and the head of Taixu Palace, Lu Heng, are both masters of swordsmanship and swordsmanship. They all follow the path of toughness to the end. There are very few soft changes in their moves. Ninety-nine percent of them are domineering and fierce attacks that defeat ten skills with one force.

And Ba Cang Sword Saint is also one of the only four sword cultivators in the world who are honored as "Sword Saint". Not to mention the cultivation, but in terms of swordsmanship, he is as famous as Ye Zhichen, the "Ruthless Sword Saint", the "Yunlan Sword Saint" of Mangshan Sword School, and the "Nanming Sword Saint" of this generation of Nanming Sword School.

The difference is that the other three are all leading the way, but Ba Cang Sword Saint and his Sword Palace are somewhat unknown under the halo of Dayan Dynasty. During these days in the city, Li Chuyi has not even heard anyone mention him, nor has he heard anyone talk about where the Sword Palace is located in the imperial capital.

"It's not surprising." Nalan Mingyue explained, "Because the Sword Emperor's Palace only has a small Kongwang Palace in the imperial capital. The real Sword Emperor's Palace is actually located in a remote mountain range in the east of Dayan, with almost no human habitation around it. It’s extremely difficult for someone who doesn’t know where to find him. And King Rong is extremely low-key and rarely interacts with people, so everyone in Dayan knows about him, but rarely mentions him when chatting.”

"A show of loyalty?"

Li Chuyi hit the nail on the head, and Nalan Mingyue nodded without hesitation.

The corner of his mouth curled up and the little fat man was about to speak. Nalan Mingyue had already guessed what he was going to say and spoke first: "Don't think about it. King Rong is not a coward. He is called aware of current affairs. To be honest, Dayan is like this He is the smartest among the many princes, even smarter than King Zhenxi. "

Seeing that Li Chuyi didn't believe it, Nalan Mingyue whispered: "Do you know how many princes in Dayan hold real power?"

The little fat man shook his head.

"Five!"

Holding out five fingers, Nalan Mingyue said: "Including the newly promoted King Zhenxi, there are a total of five noble princes! And among these five powerful princes, except King Zhenxi, King Molan, King Huaiyong The king and the king of Dingbei were both promoted from the Yuwen royal family after Emperor Yanling ascended the throne. The original king Quan and the princes and princesses who competed with him for the throne had to retreat. They were either convicted or stripped of their thrones. They died violently, and the rest took the initiative to retire and return their rights. King Rong is the only veteran power king who has survived to this day, and he is also the only clan uncle of Emperor Yanling who needs to be taken seriously. They either retired or were killed by Emperor Yanling, which is why the imperial power of this generation of Emperor Yanling was so concentrated. King Rong was also very smart and never showed any interest in the throne, even during Emperor Yanling's purge. He also contributed a lot when he was a member of the royal family. Afterwards, he retired to the mountains and didn't care about worldly affairs, and his life was even simpler than that of the Mu family. "

"Oh no, it's so cruel!"

Li Chuyi was secretly speechless. He didn't know whether the word ruthless was referring to Emperor Yanling or King Rong.

Thinking about it, how could Ba Jian, who was as famous as Lu Heng, be a good opponent? The words "Ba Cang Sword Master" are enough to explain everything. Not to mention Emperor Yanling, he could even kill his own son. Li Chuyi already knew his cold-bloodedness and indifference.

Coupled with the King of Zhenxi, Yuwen Taihao, Li Chuyi felt that none of the Yuwen clan was good, they were all cold-blooded monsters who didn't understand what love was, and the only exception was himself.

But after thinking about it carefully, the little fat man found that he seemed to be quite cold-blooded most of the time, and he was very kind to his own people. He was more cruel and decisive to strangers, especially enemies, than anyone else, and he didn't have any psychological burden at all. , and suddenly felt sick to death.

Yes, the bloodline is not good, no wonder I!

Anyway, I won’t kill my own people, especially my own children. Even if I die, I won’t be like Yuwen Tailuo!

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Deep down, he felt that he was very human, completely different from the animals of the Yuwen family.
