Soaring the Heavens

Text Chapter 1583 Behind-the-Scenes Deal

He did not rely on his old age to show off his strength. When Kou Lingxu arrived at the gate of the Forbidden Garden, he personally went out to greet him.

Kou Lingxu came in disguise. A cloak covered him from head to toe. The mask on his face had been removed. Laoyuan cupped his hands and said, "Tian Weng!"

"Heavenly King, we welcome you from afar!" Xiahou Tuo greeted the guests with a smile on his face, held his staff in his hand, and continued to extend his hand sideways to greet the guests.

The two of them entered the Forbidden Garden side by side. There were seats placed under the tree that looked like a big umbrella. After the maid served tea, Wei Shu waved his hand and asked them to leave.

After taking a sip of tea and thanking the guest, Kou Lingxu looked at Wei Shu aside and sighed: "When I saw Wei Shu, I thought of Lao Wei, what a pity!"

Wei Shu said politely: "It's destiny. How many people in the world can cross the realm of the soul. My father also died at the end of his life and passed away with a smile. It's not a pity at all."

Xiahou Tuo chuckled and said: "The King is so emotional, could he be reminding me that we are not far from the gate of hell?"

Kou Lingxu waved his hand: "Why do we need to be so humble? With the wealth of the Xiahou family, sooner or later we will be able to find the immortal wood to help us live a long life."

Xiahou Tuo shook his head and sighed: "Immortal wood is something that you can only come by but it depends on good luck. After waiting for so many years, I am no longer lucky. But I have thought about it. After living for so many years, I have lived enough. I will die. Dust, dust returns to dust, which is also a place to return to.”

Who doesn’t want to live forever? Kou Lingxu was amused in his heart, knowing of course that this was just what he said. He sighed: "Tianweng is indeed very open-minded. I wonder if Your Majesty will be able to be as open-minded as Tianweng in the future."

Wei Shu on the side quickly glanced at Xiahou Tuo's reaction when he heard this.

Xiahou Tuo's eyes flashed slightly, he held up the tea cup with a slightly reserved expression, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty's master is a master of the Soul Realm. Your Majesty has obtained his true inheritance, and it will be no problem to cross the threshold of the gate of hell."

Kou Lingxu shook his head: "I'm afraid that's not the case! Living the same life as the Great Dao is not tolerated by the Dao. This is competing with the sky for longevity. From ancient times to the present, no one has really been able to live forever. There are always catastrophes of one kind or another. So what if it was the demon monk Nan Bo? He didn't end up in a miserable state. Even if he practices the same technique, the danger of crossing the gate of hell must be different for each person. Everyone knows it."

Xiahou Tuo said with a half-smile but not a smile: "When the King of Heaven says something like this, aren't you afraid that it will be heard through the wall and reach His Majesty's ears?"

Kou Lingxu waved his finger and pointed around, laughing and saying: "I am afraid that no one in the world can put eyes and ears in Tian Weng's forbidden garden. Why should you be afraid of talking privately, not to mention that I am indeed a good person in front of Tian Weng. To put it bluntly, there are some things Tianweng should have planned for early."

"Oh!" Xiahou Tuo smiled and said, "I wonder what plan the King is referring to?"

Kou Lingxu leaned forward slightly, "This is purely a personal opinion. I think it's time for your majesty to have an heir. No one can say whether your majesty can break through to the spirit realm. Life and death are unpredictable before the gate of hell. If you are not the heir now, Things should be planned, but once things come to pass, wouldn't it be a rush, or the world may be in chaos? Even if it is for the sake of the world, it is time to start cultivating the heirs. The Queen Mother has been serving the world for many years, so she should take advantage of her youth. It’s better for Your Majesty to give birth to an emperor early. Is it possible that he has to wait until he is old and wan?”

Even though Xiahou Tuo was calm, his heart skipped a beat when he heard these words. Once Xiahou Chengyu gave birth to a son for the Qing Lord, there is no doubt that Xiahou Chengyu's status is unbreakable. If the Qing Lord really cannot pass the Soul Realm in the future, Guan, and once Xiahou Chengyu's son ascends to the throne, even if Xiahou Tuo is no longer around, it will also be a huge guarantee for the Xiahou family.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this, but the Xiahou family was suppressed by the Qing Lord and was in a weak position in the court. There is no right to speak, and few people can speak out. But the Kou family is different. They still have a lot of say in the court, as long as Kou Lingxu is willing. You can instigate a large group of people to put pressure on Qingzhu.

However, he remained calm on the surface and said calmly: "I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't think so. Your Majesty seems to love Concubine Tian more!"

Kou Lingxu said sternly: "The emperor is unusual. He should have a legitimate name and a legitimate son. It is the queen's duty to do this! No matter what, I will push forward this matter and try my best to mobilize the courtiers to speak to your majesty. Your majesty will not give up for a day. Promise, I will not give up for a day, I wonder what Tian Weng thinks?"

There is no free benefit in the world, especially in this kind of matter. Xiahou Tuo naturally understands this. When people ask him for his opinion, they are asking for rewards. If they don't get rewards, they will naturally not try their best, or even fail. Then he smiled lightly and said: "Is the King of Heaven here here because of the virtues of cattle?"

It’s good to understand and save yourself the trouble of talking nonsense! Kou Lingxu was not polite, "It would be better if Tian Weng could help me with this matter."

Xiahou Tuo sighed: "I'm not a fool. Someone wants to see you and my family fighting! How can I let someone with ulterior motives succeed? Other old men can't guarantee it, but in the ghost market, the Xiahou family can guarantee that Niu Moral security.”

"Hey! Niu Youde is lucky to have Tianweng say this, but..." Kou Lingxu hesitated for a moment and said: "If Niu Youde keeps troublesome Tianweng in the ghost market, I'm afraid it won't last long. Tian Weng must have heard of that kid's temper. I am really afraid that something will happen to him. After all, there are too many people with ulterior motives! But that kid is also somewhat capable, so I think it would be wise to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds. I won’t miss it. If I can make a contribution and be transferred from the ghost market early, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”

Wei Shu, who was standing by, shook his head secretly. This not only required the Xiahou family to ensure Niu Youde's safety in the ghost market, but also required the Xiahou family to help Niu Youde perform meritorious services. The Kou family supported Niu Youde very much.

Xiahou Tuo chuckled and said: "No one has gone there yet. It's too early to talk about this now. It won't be too late to introduce it depending on the situation."

Kou Lingxu understood what the other party meant. He wanted to see his sincerity in the court first, so he nodded and said with a smile: "What Tian Weng said makes sense."

The deal behind the scenes has been completed, and neither of them is a person who talks nonsense. They put aside the matter, drank together, and started chatting.

After some small talk, Kou Lingxu said goodbye and invited Xiahou Tuo to stay, not daring to bother him to see him off.

Wei Shu sent Kou Lingxu away and came back. He saw Xiahou Tuo slowly sipping tea without saying a word. He walked aside and said with a smile: "Kou Lingxu worked really hard for this cheap son-in-law. If one day he knew that Niu Youde There are six paths behind me, I’m afraid it’s too late to cry.”

Xiahou Tuo snorted, "Even if he doesn't come to me, I don't intend to watch Niu Youde get into trouble in the ghost market. Since it's the benefit of taking the initiative to come to the door, it doesn't hurt to give it to him as a favor. What's more, the affairs of Liu Dao have brought trouble to the Kou family. Being involved is not necessarily a bad thing. The deeper you sink, the better. Then you will be able to resist the Qing Lord. After all, Kou Lingxu controls 20% of the world's military power, and for our Xiahou family, we can't let go of eggs. In a basket, if Lord Qing dares to be unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. The Xiahou family can support several overlords, and they don't mind supporting another one!" A pair of old eyes suddenly narrowed.

Hearing these words, Wei Shu secretly shuddered in his heart. He could see the murderous aura in Xiahou Tuo's eyes, which he hadn't seen in many years.

After the hundred-year punishment period expired, Miao Yi, who had received the new appointment certificate, stood at the gate of the Royal Garden Koutian Palace and looked at the surrounding mountains. This time he was officially separated from the Guards, and he felt quite emotional in his heart.

Yun Zhiqiu, Feihong and others who had packed their things stood behind him without disturbing him. Mu Yulian and others who came to see him off were also silent.

"I don't know if there will be a chance to come here again in the future. Haha, let's not talk anymore. Let's go." Miao Yi handed over to everyone seeing him off. Wen Ze and others did not come to see them off. Xing Lingzhong also made it clear that he is now They are no longer members of the Guards, so they can no longer interact openly with each other. They have to avoid suspicion.

Mu Yulian presented the release oracle with both hands, stepped back and joined the others in cupping her hands and said, "Sir, take care along the way!"

Miao Yi nodded towards the people who came to greet the Kou family and led the way, and a group of people flew away without looking back.

Zhan Ruyi, who was picking vegetables in a basket in Yu Tianzhong, raised his head and silently watched the group disappear into the sky in the distance, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Upon arriving at Qiongxing, Miao Yi, who came to the residence of King Kou Tian for the first time, was warmly welcomed by a group of people from the Kou family, calling him brother-in-law or uncle.

Kou Wenlan was also among them. Miao Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard this guy weakly calling his uncle. Fortunately, King Kou Tian wanted to summon him, so the group of people didn't bother too much at the door, only Yun Zhiqiu was chattering.

No one paid attention to Feihong, and the Kou family obviously didn't like her very much.

Some things are understandable. The Kou family is obviously on Yun Zhiqiu's side. In addition, she is a popular actor. The Kou family really looks down on her. If it weren't for Miao Yi's relationship, she would have even entered the Kou family. No qualifications.

Miao Yi entered the inner courtyard of the Kou family and was led directly into the three halls. He still didn't know the meaning of the three halls. Not everyone could enter the Kou family.

When Kou Lingxu saw him, he naturally had something to explain. He had to make it clear that he would inevitably pave the way for Miao Yi, and at the same time he gave some instructions.

Afterwards, Miao Yi didn't leave in a hurry. When he first came to Kou's house, he couldn't just walk in and leave. He had to stay for a month before leaving.

It was inevitable to have some contact with the Kou family again. There were just too many elders, which gave Miao Yi a headache. Kou Lingxu had a lot of concubines.

A few days later, Miao Yi left the Tianwang Mansion and met Yan Xiu, Yang Qing, Yang Zhaoqing, Xu Tangran, Hai Pingxin and others in a garden outside the mansion.

Just as Zhan Ruyi expected, she didn't need to come forward to get these people. King Kou Tian asked for these people from the Guards as soon as he spoke. The Tiangong side was in trouble over Miao Yi's matter. , there is no need to make trouble on Yan Xiu and others, and he kicked these people out of the Guards generously.

In the garden, Miao Yi looked around at a few people with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "You must know where I am going. I want to say something here. Those who are willing to follow me can follow me. Those who are not willing to follow me can follow me." Yes, I won’t force you. I will find a position for you in the Northern Army. You can answer me after you think about it clearly.”

Xu Tangran was the first to hold up his hands and said: "I am willing to follow you, sir!"

Miao Yigang smiled and nodded, but Hai Ping suddenly said, "I don't want to go. I heard that the ghost market can't even see the sun all year round and is always in darkness. It's boring to think about it. Sir, you should help me in the Beijun Army." Let’s arrange a place.”

Miao Yi waved his hand and pointed, "It's nothing to you. Even if you don't want to go, you have to go!" (~^~)
