The "Dao City" in the starry sky, "Zu Zhou," the budding place of initial cultivation, "Shen Cang Gu Ze," the origin of water in the vast universe, and the void's forbid...
Chapter 261 Oda Order
Now that Zuoqiu Menting hosted and won the Qianlong Lantern Festival, there was no way back.
Either become the master of Lingxiao's habitat, or your clan will be destroyed.
so.
The dragon's fate is decided, and there can be no mistakes.
What Zuoqiu Menting wants is not only the support of Du'e Temple, but also power.
Just like what Tang Wanqiu sighed at the beginning, "The destiny is in our hands", if all the people in the world feel that the destiny is with Zuoqiu, they will rush to come and join him, and his power will grow like a snowball.
Yin Jun said, "In fact, Zuoqiu Menting only wants a name, and you need this name right now, plus a layer of golden light to protect your body. I think there is nothing wrong with it... Don't be so sad, you are taking advantage of others. Zuoqiu Hongting's talent, talent, and appearance are all unparalleled in the world. If you can marry her, I don't know how many people in the world will envy and be jealous."
Li Weiyi said, "I am not troubled by the marriage! It's because we have already decided to take the initiative to fall from the top of the storm and hide in the trough. Now, aren't we being pushed into higher waves?"
Yin Jun asked, "Are you afraid of being dragged into the world's struggle by Zuoqiu Sect?"
Li Weiyi said, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just... Oh, forget it, I can't blame others for my own mistakes. What happened in the cave before was indeed inappropriate. Zuoqiu Ting, or Zuoqiu Hong, acted upright and treated me sincerely, never had any ill intentions, and helped me a lot. I shouldn't have teased her like that. Women and men are always different. She lacks a free and generous mind."
Yin Jun patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Based on these words, I think Zuoqiu Hongting should look at you with a different eye. In fact, with a stunning young emperor like her in front, she can help you block the eyes of the outside world to a great extent."
Li Weiyi and Yinjun returned to the meeting hall and first expressed their guilt and apology to Zuoqiu Ling, and then promised to be responsible for Zuoqiu Hongting, and so on.
The dialogue process is completed.
The engagement was then finalized.
Yinjun and Zuoqiu Ling discussed the specific details, and Li Weiyi left the meeting hall.
Outside, the sun was setting and the sky was full of brilliant colors.
Li Weiyi went down to the third heaven along the winding stone stairs.
Zuoqiu Hongting returned to her true appearance, wearing a green Taoist robe, tall and graceful, waiting on the road that Li Weiyi had to take to return.
She stood on the edge of a cliff that jutted out like a duck's beak. Below the cliff was a stretch of peach blossom branches that looked like a pink ocean. She put her hands together in her wide sleeves, wore a wooden hairpin on her head, and had a Taoist ruler hanging from her waist.
It's just a back view, but it gives people a kind of tranquil and ethereal fairy charm, and a beauty that is difficult to describe in words, as if it will fly away to the sky with the wind in the next moment.
Li Weiyi stared at the figure for a long time, knowing that the other party was waiting for him, so he walked over.
Zuoqiu Hongting did not turn around, but looked at the sunset in the sky: "It was about fourteen years ago. I was nine years old that year. It was also a similar sky. The tragic news that my father died because of Xiaotian Ling came from Lingxiao City."
"Since then, I have been filled with hatred and entered the Zuoqiu Hidden Sect to practice, presenting myself as a boy and deliberately opposing Xiaotian Ling."
"When I got older, I couldn't hide myself in men's clothing anymore, so I had to practice the art of disguise. I knew I was no match for the Grand Palace Master, and I might never be able to take revenge, but... it seemed that disguising myself as a man was like challenging her to a duel, and that would help calm the hatred I had in my childhood."
Li Weiyi listened silently and sighed, "I'm sorry! In fact, Jiang Ning told me your secret a long time ago."
Zuoqiu Hongting's face, illuminated by the sunset, was white and radiant, with a beautiful profile. She said, "So, the nonsense of looking at the sky in the morning and the clouds at dusk, thinking of you when walking and thinking of you when sitting, was all just a joke to me?"
Li Weiyi smiled bitterly: "Not entirely! Who among the men in this world, once they have seen your stunning face, would dare to say you are not beautiful? Wouldn't they want to have a little kiss on your beauty?"
"A kiss? Are you so direct when talking to other women? For example, Jiang Ning?" Zuo Qiuhongting raised her eyebrows slightly.
Li Weiyi said, "I swear to God, I can talk nonsense without restraint only in front of you. Because I still regard you as a brother. In front of you, there is no need to pretend or restrain myself. I can laugh, scold, and joke. If it were Jiang Ning, I would definitely behave properly. At most, I would curse at her a few times. How dare I tease her like this?"
"Yeah, it would be nice to be brothers forever!"
Zuoqiu Hongting sighed, and then said: "The chaos in the world is inevitable. The return of Qilin Zang will further escalate the unrest and danger, and the situation will become more complicated."
"If Zuoqiu Menting wants to seize the world, he must get the support of Du'e Temple."
"Li Weiyi, you and I are engaged. I don't know if you really want to be engaged or if you are forced to do so. But don't worry, it will only happen in the next few years. The world will not continue to be in turmoil."
"After Zuoqiu Sect unifies the twenty-eight states, you can come and cancel the engagement at any time. If you don't want to cancel the engagement, we can become Taoist couples and get married once the world is stable."
She continued, "From a brother's perspective, it would actually be a good thing if I could take this opportunity to cut off your contact with Jiang Ning."
“I’ve never seen a brother like you who forcibly breaks up a couple in love! No, I should call you my fiancée now… It gives me a headache. I really can’t face you with a normal heart…” Li Weiyi rubbed his temple. This fiancée came too suddenly.
Zuoqiu Ting and Zuoqiu Hongting have completely different personalities.
At this moment, she is just like what she said about herself: "hot on the outside, cold on the inside." After returning to her true appearance, she is really extremely cold, serious, quiet as an orchid, and exudes an aura that keeps people away from her.
Zuoqiu Hongting said: "From my fiancée's perspective, I will stop you two."
Li Weiyi restrained his smile and said, "You mean, even if Qilin Zang returns and the demon race is powerful, the major forces of the human race still cannot unite as one? The conflict with the court cannot be resolved?"
"Why? Is there anything more threatening than the demon race?"
Thinking of something, Li Weiyi said, "Could it be because of the Xiaotian Order? What exactly is the Xiaotian Order? Everyone seems to be very secretive about it and they don't even dare to mention it."
He had only heard Yin Twenty-four say that "Oda Order" seemed to have the literal meaning.
Zuoqiu Hongting's eyes were deep, and her thoughts drifted back to fourteen years ago: "The word 'kill' is taken from the bottom, and the word 'man' is taken from the top, and that is Xiaotian."
"Kill the man order?"
Li Weiyi was so frightened that his scalp went numb.
I understood instantly why there were rebel armies all over the world, why the contradictions between the rebel armies and the imperial court were irreconcilable, and why everyone said that the Grand Palace Master was crazy... He was definitely crazy, and very crazy.
No wonder the imperial court, with such great power, could only control eight states.
No wonder core members of the court like Jiang Ning have said that the Grand Palace Master has become dark and paranoid, lost himself, fallen into an inner whirlpool, and made a big mistake.
No wonder those human forces would rather join the demon race.
Zuoqiu Hongting said: "Objectively speaking, a thousand years ago, the Grand Palace Master did carve out a niche for Lingxiao's habitat. Without her, there would be no twenty-eight states today."
"For thousands of years, she has indeed worked hard to govern the country and loved the people like her own children. People all over the world can feel this."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"No one knows what happened to her."
"First, they found the ancient legendary Zi Mu Spring, and then encouraged the large-scale cultivation of Ren rice. Fourteen years ago, the Xiaotian Order was finally issued."
"Lingxiao City was the first to suffer the disaster. Anyone who refused to be castrated was killed. Countless people died overnight. Of course, there were also countless people who obeyed. Eunuchs and castrated men were born in this way."
"Fortunately, after the Grand Palace Master issued this order, something seemed to have gone terribly wrong, and he was locked up in the palace, and has not appeared since."
"So, once the Xiaotian Order leaves Lingxiao City, its power is greatly reduced, and it is extremely difficult to implement in the states. In addition, all the men in the world are hiding, so Lingxiao Habitat has not really turned into a country of women."
"But this decree became a means for those with ulterior motives to attack hostile forces, and it also provoked huge confrontations. During those years, there was constant killing and endless conflicts."
"A piece of Xiaotian Order, a thousand miles in white clothes."
"Those who cry at the graves at midnight are all widows."
"Some people, like me, have lost their fathers. Some have lost their husbands, some have lost their sons or brothers..."
"A few years later, war finally broke out and quickly spread across the country. Armies in various states rose up one after another, and even the imperial court was in turmoil."
Zuoqiu Hongting looked at Li Weiyi and said, "Tell me, under such circumstances, who can work together with the court? Although the Xiaotian Order has long existed in name only, as long as it has not been cancelled, it is a sword hanging over everyone's head."
"What if the Grand Palace Master leaves the palace one day? With her prestige and cultivation, she implements this order again. What kind of disaster will that cause?"
"Now you understand, don't you? If you are really recruited by Jiang Ning to the court, you will be the first to suffer when Xiaotian Ling revive."
Li Weiyi had not experienced that era, so it was difficult for her to empathize with others, but just by listening to her story, one could feel the uncertainty and danger caused by the Oda Order.
The problem is much more serious than I imagined.
The survival of the world, all the knots, are entangled with one person.
Is this the power of the number one person in the world? His words and actions determine the life and death of countless people.
Can Chan Hai Guan Wu untie this knot? Originally, Li Weiyi was extremely opposed to Chan Hai Guan Wu going to Ling Xiao Palace, but now, his heart began to waver.
If she succeeds in getting the Grand Palace Master to issue an edict of repentance and cancel the Oda Order, then the major human forces will have the possibility to join forces to deal with the demon race.
On the contrary, if the Grand Palace Master himself steps out and re-issues the Xiaotian Order, or even becomes even darker and more paranoid... Lingxiao Habitat will undoubtedly become a purgatory on earth.
After Li Weiyi separated from Zuoqiu Hongting, he returned to the place where the Jiuli tribe martial arts were recuperating.
The meat of the Silver-Feathered Demon King has been cooked.
Maybe it’s because the ingredients are top-notch, the taste is actually quite good.
After eating, everyone felt their bodies getting hot, and their blood and energy increased rapidly. So, they all practiced martial arts moves together to strengthen their bodies.
at the same time.
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting's engagement invitations were sent to all parts of the city like snowflakes.
Due to Chao Ran's large-scale battle, all major forces participating in the Qianlong Lantern Festival are still stranded in Qiuzhou City.
The engagement banquet is scheduled for three days later, on the 25th day of the first lunar month.
Zuoqiu Menting was in a hurry and wanted to settle everything before Chaoran's fight was over.
