Chapter 84 Ji Lao Ba
Under the leadership of Wu Lang, the Miao family father and daughter stepped into the formation with difficulty and got a glimpse of the true face of Tianxu Tower.
When Xiaoqian came forward to greet them with a smile, the Miao father and daughter's admiration for Tianxu Tower had reached a point that could not be described in words.
He is only over a hundred years old, with the cultivation level of the fusion stage, but he can only barely perform the job of welcoming guests in Tianxu Tower.
What kind of person is the owner of Tianxu Tower! ?
Li Yanmo, who was drinking tea, glanced at the numbers displayed on the business interface.
Since the completion of Tianxu Tower, the prestige experience of Tianxu Sect has been increasing slightly.
Although it has exceeded the experience limit, according to previous calculations, the cap would probably require one million prestige experiences, but now it is only a little over 100,000.
As the prestige level increases, the difficulty of obtaining prestige experience seems to have increased a lot. Only people like Mo Zhanxian, who have both high status and cultivation and are not from the Tianxu Sect, can increase a large amount of prestige experience. Cultivators rented from the Tianxu Tower cannot provide any prestige experience.
So rigorous, very good, very good——
"Master, the Miao family father and daughter seem to want to get the throne of the Gan king very much."
Shen Ziqing moved the picture showing the Miao family father and daughter in front of Li Yanmo.
At this moment, the Miao father and daughter no longer had the rebellious look they had just now. Facing Xiaoqian's friendly questioning, Miao Wujiang stuttered, trying hard not to look like a bumpkin, while Miao Qianqian, like a shaved peacock, didn't say a word and kept her head down the whole time.
"Miss Xiaoqian, this is my daughter. She is sixteen this year and has already reached the foundation of cultivation. Not only does she have an innate spiritual body, she also has the fate of a fire phoenix."
Miao Wujiang stammered as he introduced his daughter, and Miao Qianqian nodded nervously. The subtle atmosphere made Li Yanmo unable to help but complain.
"Are they here to consume, or to sell their daughter?"
At least in Li Yanmo's opinion, Miao Wujiang was very much like those gamblers who tried hard to sell their daughters to brothels and theaters in order to quickly exchange them for some money, while Miao Qianqian, the domineering and proud daughter of heaven, urgently hoped that the other party would buy her.
“Master, of course they come here to consume, but they also come here to seek opportunities,” Shen Ziqing smiled and shook his head, “Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 18 is unimaginable in some large states, let alone in a small state like Ganzhou.”
"The Miao family covets... no, they are determined to get the position of the King of Gan. They have already regarded themselves as the future King of Gan and have forced themselves into a dead end. As long as they can get the position of the King of Gan, they can use any means and pay any price."
Hearing this, Li Yan raised his chin and stared at Miao Qianqian in the picture.
Of course, Li Yanmo was not looking at Miao Qianqian, but the jade pendant around Miao Qianqian's waist.
After entering Tianxu Tower, Miao Qianqian has been wearing the jade pendant around her waist, as if the jade pendant could bring her endless confidence and respect.
With the formation to magnify the image, Li Yanmo became more and more certain that the jade pendant was one of the jade pendants that the female minister had hung around her waist.
"Second brother, is there any way to contact Constable Leng or Governor Feng? I have something I want to ask them."
"Master, Constable Leng has been staying in Tianxu Tower for a while. Wait for me..."
After saying that, Shen Ziqing turned around and pressed a formation. Not long after, Leng Ningshuang, dressed as a playboy, hurried over. He was not surprised by the numerous surveillance formations in the tea room. When he saw Li Yanmo, he greeted him with a smile. His every move was unbearably frivolous, and he did not look as heroic as when they first met.
Having seen many vests of the Dayu Dynasty, Li Yanmo was now completely immune to Leng Ningshuang's vest. He had no intention of complaining at all. Instead, he enlarged Miao Qianqian's jade pendant and showed it to Leng Ningshuang.
Leng Ningshuang fanned herself with a folding fan. She was surprised at first, but after staring at the jade pendant for a while, she rolled her eyes as if she had discovered something.
"Is there something wrong with this jade pendant?" Li Yanmo asked curiously.
"No problem. The royal family will give these jade pendants to their loved ones, attaching the aura of a real dragon as a promise. Only the princes can attach the aura of a real dragon of this strength."
Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows.
It is no wonder that the Miao family father and daughter are so confident that they dare to plot for the throne even though they have a relationship with the sect after being favored by the prince.
But if the jade pendant really had that much gold content, Leng Ningshuang would not have had such an expression.
"Is there something wrong with the person who gave the jade pendant?"
Leng Ningshuang held his forehead and sighed. At this moment, he looked somewhat like the heroic constable he had before.
"Although the Dayu Dynasty was at its peak, the universe was too vast, and there were millions of sects obstructing it. Therefore, many places like Ganzhou and Jingzhou lacked princes to rule them, so the power of the Dayu Dynasty's national destiny inevitably declined. If time goes on for a long time, the Dayu Dynasty might lose its ruling power in those places."
"Many aristocratic families, such as the Miao family, turned to the sect during this process and became the sect's minions in plundering the people and eroding Dayu's national destiny."
"And those noble families have all become monks, with life spans far longer than ordinary people. They are able to deeply influence the people of a city or a state. The Great Yu Dynasty knows the pros and cons, but can't find a suitable method. Those noble families are too patient and too good at pretending."
"If we resort to violence, it is very likely to cause a backlash from the noble families. You know, it only takes a wave of the hand for a cultivator to slaughter the common people."
"The people feared the aristocratic families and were resentful of the Yu Dynasty."
"At this time, a prince came up with a bad idea. He used the title of king as bait to make the noble families in various states and cities fight for the qualification to be king, and expose their collusion with the sects and the wealth they had gained by plundering the people over the years."
"This tactic has no effect on ordinary noble families in large states, but it has a fatal temptation to noble families in small states like Ganzhou and Miao family. In order to ensure that this tactic works, the prince even asked someone to write a series of folk stories about how Prince Dayu hides his identity and meets the daughter of a noble family in a remote village. He sees the other's talent at a glance and helps her rise from the ashes to become a peerless beauty."
As if she remembered something unpleasant, Leng Ningshuang smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Many daughters of noble families became arrogant because of the folk stories he spread, and began to feel uneasy about their original engagements, causing a rift between the noble families that had once lived in harmony."
"He even euphemistically called this move 'fighting poison with poison,' and praised Dafa to death."
Li Yanmo couldn't help but take a breath, "What is the name of this prince?"
"That prince is the eighth son of Emperor Yu, and is known as Ji Lao Ba. However, those who know him like to call him Ji Ba directly. As for his real name, let me think..."
Leng Ningshuang covered her temple with her hands, frowning, as if she really couldn't remember the prince's real name.
Li Yanmo hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Could it be that his name is Ji Fa?"
"Yes, that's it! You know him!?" Leng Ningshuang widened her eyes in surprise.
After thinking for a while, Li Yanmo told the story of what happened to the female minister a year ago.
Leng Ningshuang immediately raised her eyes.
"Criminals will deliberately return to the scene of the crime to satisfy their special sense of accomplishment. Ji Ba probably went to see if the Miao family's daughter had become as arrogant as he expected."
"Uh...so the Eighth Prince...what stage has it reached?" Li Yanmo scratched his head, feeling that he had asked a very boring question.
"Guess how many jade pendants he prepared."
"Twenty...thirty?"
"He prepared more than 300 jade pendants."
Shen Ziqing stroked his chin and stared thoughtfully at the Miao father and daughter in the picture.
