Chapter 450: The Four Major Families, the Situation is Chaotic
Qingzhu Qingshui accepted the order respectfully, "Yes, sir."
Anyway, you are the reincarnation of the Lotus Immortal, so we will do whatever you say.
In fact, if you look closely, Lian Xueluo and his wife treat Lian Jin with respect and love, but more of it is respect.
From this we can see that Lian Jin's status in the Shen Yao Kingdom is supreme, and the people respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
Except for some dogs, of course.
The group walked into the house and saw that it was brightly lit inside. It was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, a man and a woman rushed out.
"Mom and Dad, you're back?"
"Eh? Princess sister, you are here too!"
"Wow, Princess Sister, I haven't seen you for six years. You've grown so big, but you still look as cute and pretty as before. I really like you~"
"Cousin, you are finally here~"
"Hey, who is this gentleman? He is more beautiful than a woman, and almost blinded my eyes."
The first sentence came from the boy, eighteen-year-old Jiang Yuan.
The following words all came from the mouth of fourteen-year-old Jiang Yan, who chattered non-stop. It was not difficult to tell that she was talkative and extremely lively.
Luo Ranran greeted the brother and sister with a smile.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, Sister Jiang Yan, long time no see, I missed you so much."
Jiang Yuan's face turned red instantly.
He smiled at Luo Ranran shyly. Time didn't seem to have changed him much. He still maintained that innocence and restraint.
Unlike Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yan did not hide her joy at all.
With a bright smile on her face, she took a step forward excitedly, hugged Luo Ranran tightly, and spun around excitedly, muttering: "Sister Ranran, I miss you too!"
Seeing this scene, Lian Xueluo and Jiang Zhankang couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, Yan'er, stop making trouble and put Ranran down." Jiang Zhankang said with a smile, his eyes full of pampering.
Jiang Yan then let Luo Ranran go, took her hand and whispered, "Sister Ranran, what have you been doing these years? Let me tell you..."
Two girls, one big and one small, walked into the hall hand in hand and talked privately. It seemed that they had endless things to say to each other.
Jiang Zhankang smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand, and said to Lian Jin and Chu Tianli: "You are tired from the journey, please sit down and rest for a while. I have asked someone to prepare the dinner."
Chu Tianli smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Yuan came to Lian Jin and patted his shoulder. "Cousin, long time no see. I hope you are well."
Lian Jin took a look at Jiang Yuan's face, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. "Cousin, men change a lot when they grow up. You have become more handsome. Well, I have predicted for you that within a year, you will be in love. When that happens, you must treat me to a glass of wedding wine."
Perhaps because she had been with Luo Ranran for a long time, Lian Jin gradually began to like the pleasure of matchmaking for others.
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yuan's face instantly turned red enough to look like blood. What a pure and innocent young man, he really couldn't stand being teased.
"Cousin, please stop teasing me."
He is not a fool now, and he is past the age of ignorance. He has already understood what he should understand.
Seeing her son being so shy, Lian Xueluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yuan'er, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough, don't be embarrassed."
Oh, you are so thin-skinned, how can you talk to girls in the future?
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Help! This was so embarrassing! He just wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground and never come out.
Next, everyone sat together in the hall. Lian Xueluo gave a brief account of the current situation in Shen Yao Country. Luo Ranran and the other two had a general idea in their minds, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
In the Shen Yao Kingdom, all royal family members have the surname Lian. They claim to be descendants of gods and have always been high and mighty.
However, it is not only the royal family that truly supports the Shen Yao Kingdom, but also the four famous families. Each family has a unique heritage and expertise, and they cooperate and check and balance each other to jointly protect the Shen Yao Kingdom.
The four major families are: Ji family, Kong family, Jiang family, and Shu family.
They represent four different forces.
The Ji family excels in medicine and alchemy.
The Kong family is proficient in the art of formations and talismans.
The Jiang family is famous for their swordsmanship and weapon refining.
Finally, the Shu family masters the mysterious illusion and esoteric arts.
Lianjin's father, Shu Jincen, was from the Shu family and was the second son of the family.
In Shen Yao Country, the four major families are closely connected with the royal family, and their fates are also intertwined. Whether it is the power struggles within the palace or the grievances and hatreds in the rivers and lakes, these families are indispensable.
The king Lian Cang, in order to balance the four major families.
My favorite thing to do is to arrange a marriage when babies are born.
Let the princesses marry the legitimate sons of the four major families, and also let the princes marry the legitimate daughters of the four major families as concubines.
The purpose of doing this is to allow every family to participate and not let any one family have a monopoly on the advantage.
He thought he was in control of everything.
But he didn't know that this was just his wishful thinking.
Because of this, the entire Shen Yao Kingdom fell into chaos, and the princes and princesses secretly fought fiercely for the position of heir to the throne.
In this struggle, various families were involved. They acted independently and attacked each other, causing the entire country to fall into chaos. The royal family, which was supposed to be united, has now become a loose sand, full of suspicion and resentment towards each other.
But Lian Cang turned a blind eye to this.
Still immersed in his own fantasy of power.
He thought that in this way he could balance the power of the major families and thus consolidate his own ruling position. However, he did not realize that doing so would only make the situation increasingly out of control and might eventually lead to the collapse of the entire country.
In the fight for the throne, the most innocent people are the common people.
They had no way to compete with the royal family or the four major families, and could only be forced to endure unwarranted attacks. Even if they died, they had no place to seek redress.
At this time, it was midnight.
This is the time of the day when the yin energy is strongest.
However, Lianjin tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
From time to time, he could hear the pleas, screams, curses, and cries of the people of Shen Yao Kingdom...all these sounds came one after another, intertwining with each other, like a sad and mournful symphony, echoing in his ears endlessly.
These sounds made him feel upset and his thoughts became more confused.
He tried hard to calm down, but the inexplicable irritability kept lingering, like a shadow.
"Could it be that I am the founder of Shen Yao Country, Lotus Heavenly Venerable?"
Lian Jin rubbed his wrinkled forehead, stood up, gently pushed open the window, slowly raised his head, and looked up at the deep and boundless night sky.
In this dense and indissoluble spiritual energy, an equally strong resentment was looming, as if a vengeful spirit that had been suppressed for a long time was trying to break free.
Lian Jin's face, which was already as cold as frost, became even colder at this moment, like a thousand-year-old cold jade, emitting a heart-pounding chill.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
