Chapter 263 Rumor Has It that the New Emperor Is Critically Ill? [Subscribe]
The middle-aged scholar in blue is called Li Lu!
On the surface, he is a late-stage martial artist in the Refining Zang Realm, and he is not loyal to any force. But in fact, he has complicated relationships behind him. It is rumored that he is a person with a strong background and a powerful hand.
On weekdays, people can always get a lot of secrets from him!
Most of the people who came here today also wanted to see if he had any exclusive news.
"Everyone, everyone!" Li Lu took a sip of wine, bowed his hands with a smile on his face and said, "You are embarrassing me. I am just an idle and poor man. How can I have any news."
"Brother Li, don't be modest. We all know your ability."
"Yes, this matter is not small. Brother Li should not hide it."
Everyone complimented him.
After Li Lu satisfied his vanity, he lowered his voice and said, "Since you all value it so much, I would be embarrassed if I didn't reveal every word. I do know a little piece of information, but I don't know whether it's true or not, so just treat it as a joke."
"Brother Li, please tell me!" Everyone urged.
Li Lu said mysteriously with a full tone, "You don't know yet? The new emperor is already critically ill!"
"Hiss!"
Everyone gasped in shock at these few words.
Their faces changed unpredictably, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Impossible!" Xiao Hongsheng couldn't help but question: "The new emperor has been on the throne for more than a year. He is only thirty-two this year. He was also a top-notch warrior in the Prince's Mansion. How could he be so strong as an ox and be critically ill?"
"Yes, this is unreasonable!"
"It is rumored that the royal family has a secret method that can raise the emperor's strength to the innate realm out of thin air. The new emperor will only be stronger than when he was in the Prince's Mansion. How could he easily get into trouble?"
"There are many masters in the royal family. The current emperor has a doctor to check his pulse every day. There is no way there will be any mistakes!"
Everyone agreed.
Li Lu smiled disdainfully: "What if a cultivator takes action?"
"This?"
Everyone was frightened again.
Many unfamiliar faces in the crowd also narrowed their eyes and secretly became interested.
Li Lu was unwilling to say more after saying these two sentences. He just smiled and said, "It's just gossip. You just listen to it. Tianji Pavilion doesn't dare to sell such information. Just think I'm talking nonsense!"
Everyone knows whether it's drunken talk or not!
There's no way to refute the truth of Li Lu's news.
But if you think about it carefully, everyone is scared and pale.
"Damn it, so many people died in the battle for the throne. Is it going to be turbulent again after more than a year?"
"Brother Li, this news is probably true. I heard that the army that General Meng was originally preparing to return to the capital seems to be deliberately delaying time. It should have returned to the capital last month, but it has been dragging its feet outside!"
"Good guy, the Meng family is also going to get involved?"
"Who knows? What if the new emperor really gets into trouble, will the sixth prince who is living outside come back to life again?"
Everyone talked about it!
Many problems were revealed unconsciously.
Wei Hong listened to these half-true and half-false news silently, and felt that tonight was not in vain. The small circle of Lianzang Realm knew more news than the general circle.
Tianji Pavilion would never dare to sell such secrets!
It can only be spread privately through such a small circle.
Although the truth is unknown, it is better than knowing nothing.
"The new emperor has only been on the throne for more than a year. If he dies at this time, tut tut tut!" Wei Hong frowned and murmured: "This God City will probably have to experience another war!"
"Not only that, so many new faces suddenly appeared. I am afraid I don't believe it if you say that it has nothing to do with this matter."
"Haha, it's plague and war. It seems that this God City can't stay!"
Xiao Hongsheng and others also echoed beside.
For a time, many people had the idea of escaping from the God City.
Although the capital is now under a state of full martial law, everyone present is a master of Lianzang Realm, and their connections are extraordinary. If they really want to escape, there is no way.
For example, Wei Hong had already sent the masters of the Misty Rain Tower to dig an underground passage two or three miles long, connecting the city and the outside of the city.
In case of an accident, his relatives can be easily evacuated, so he doesn't have to worry about the military chaos affecting him.
At the banquet, everyone continued to toast.
Talking about various sources of information, whether true or false.
Wei Hong listened silently, but he gained a lot.
Halfway through the banquet, another thirty-year-old purple-dressed beautiful woman with a charming demeanor proposed: "This turmoil seems to be a little bit wrong. When the nest is overturned, no eggs will be intact. We are all scattered people without backing. Have you ever thought about huddling together for warmth?"
This proposal immediately aroused the interest of many people.
In this turbulent moment, it is not just ordinary people who are panicking. The powerful people in the Refining Zang Realm present actually do not have much sense of security.
If someone organizes one or two to huddle together for warmth, everyone will naturally be very happy!
"It's good to be able to stick together in times of chaos, but if we only stick together verbally, I'm afraid the deterrent effect on the outside world will be insufficient!"
"Yes, why don't we form a loose alliance, so that we can help each other in case of trouble, right?"
"That makes sense..."
A bunch of people echoed.
The idea of a loose alliance quickly emerged.
But Wei Hong inexplicably felt something was wrong. He always felt that there was an invisible hand that wanted to gather everyone together. What was the plan?
"Brother Zhang, do you want to join this scattered alliance?" Xiao Hongsheng asked with a frown.
"Just follow the crowd!" Wei Hong thought for a while and smiled: "Anyway, it's just a scattered alliance with no substance. I'm not afraid of others calculating anything. Can it still restrict us?"
"That's right!"
Xiao Hongsheng laughed dumbly when he heard this.
Since everyone wants to keep warm together, they just follow the crowd and join. Anyway, it's just a scattered alliance name, and it really has no binding force on everyone.
And even if there is a binding force, most of them are just fake identities.
Once something goes wrong, everyone runs faster than rabbits. How can they really care about the scattered alliance? After all, for everyone, the gathering of the three county lords' mansion is just a place to accept tasks and exchange information. It's no pity to lose it.
Finally!
Under the promotion of several highly respected masters of the refining organ realm.
After a discussion, everyone present decided to form a loose alliance under the name of "Xuanwu" to protect themselves. The alliance has no management personnel, no leader and no rules, and all members are free to come and go.
Daily transactions, gatherings, and sharing of intelligence are also the same as before without any changes!
But Wei Hong knew that some people would definitely not do this for nothing.
The establishment of the Xuanwu loose alliance may completely drag some people present into the abyss, and this definitely does not include him!
