Monarch of Evernight: Four Minds

bsp;Watching Duan Chengpeng being carried down, Li Tianquan's heart failed to fall to the ground. Instead, it hung higher and higher. He was really restless, so he got up and went to see the mysterious lobbyist.

He was a thin, middle-aged man with a short, carefully trimmed beard. Seeing Li Tianquan come in, he put down a piece of jade he was playing with and said with a smile, "Elder Li, why are you so panicked?"

Li Tianquan composed himself and said with a wry smile: "This matter is too important, how can I calm down? That person's promise will not change, right?"

The middle-aged man's face showed slight displeasure, and he said calmly: "Elder Li may not believe my little words, but the seal I brought cannot be faked. It was also done by Elder Li himself. So. What I, Liao, said is what the Lord meant. What’s more, those words were explained by the Lord himself, and Liao didn’t add a word or subtract a word.”

Li Tianquan smiled and said: "That's good, that's good! You don't blame me for being cautious, it's really the people in the Zhao family who act too arrogantly and have no scruples. If they really come to the door, it will be a big deal. ."

The middle-aged man surnamed Liu didn't care. He stroked his beard and said, "No matter how arrogant the Zhao clan is, there must be rules for doing things. This empire is not named Zhao."

"Yes, yes." Li Tianquan nodded repeatedly, and suddenly felt a lot more reassured.

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said in a nonchalant manner: "My lord has long been famous all over the world for his words. But everyone has said so, but Elder Li can't handle things well. Isn't that unjustifiable?" ”

Li Tianquan was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "What else do you need me to do?"

The middle-aged man said calmly: "Actually, it's very simple. Elder Li only needs to hand over the mirror water body to me, and then Liao Mou will fly away. There will be no proof of this matter. The mirror water body has never been in Elder Li's hands. Li. Even if Zhao Clan wants to blame, he won’t blame you.”

Li Tianquan forced a smile and said, "Let me think about this."

Mr. Liao said with a smile: "At this time, what else does Elder Li have to consider? Does Elder Li think there is still room for change with the Zhao family? But this matter is not urgent. It should be me, but you. Opening a new family is not just a matter of talk. Territory, people, resources, and military strength are all indispensable. Even in the hands of that master, there are only two such territories. How many people are staring at it!”

At this point, Mr. Liao cupped his hands to see off the guests: "Elder Li might as well consider this matter slowly and don't be impatient."

Li Tianquan said: "Thank you sir for your suggestion. I will definitely reply to you as soon as possible."

After Li Tianquan left, Mr. Liao's face immediately darkened. He didn't seem to expect that the hard-to-get strategy didn't work, and he cursed "a cowardless man" bitterly. After scolding him, he pondered for a moment, then pushed the door open and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Mr. Liao appeared outside the base prison. At this time, he had changed into another appearance, and even the aura of the Force had changed. He took out the token and waved it in front of the guard. This was an elder-level token of the Li family. The guards did not dare to stop him, so they let him in.

Entering the prison, Mr. Liao waited for the warden to arrive, then stretched out his hand and made a mysterious gesture. The warden's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal. He called a jailer and asked him to lead Mr. Liao to several cells.

The base cell is built deep underground, simple but sturdy, and heavily guarded. Mr. Liao calmly walked through the cells, occasionally stopping for a moment, and finally came to a special cell. This cell is covered with Force arrays and is extremely strong, but the layout is quite comfortable, which is very different from other cells. On the bed in the middle of the cell, Duan Chengpeng was lying there, still unconscious. However, his body exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, which showed that he had taken the medicine, and it contained ingredients to calm the mind and help him recover from his injuries.

Mr. Liao stood in front of this cell and inadvertently flicked his fingers, and a thin gray needle formed by the force shot out from his fingertips and sank into Duan Chengpeng's body. His movements were so subtle that the jailer next to him was completely unaware of it.

"I've seen it all, let's go." He said calmly, and then left the dungeon with the jailer.

The road from the secret room to the office is not long, but under Li Tianquan's feet, the road seems to never end. At this moment, Duan Chengpeng's words echoed repeatedly in his mind, "The Fourth Young Master's shot hasn't been fired yet!"

After finally returning to the office, Li Tianquan stood in the room, looking at the painting on the wall, struggling repeatedly in his heart.

New aristocratic families in the empire are usually placed in turbulent areas on the border. As the lord of a place, the aristocratic family has the responsibility to defend the territory. Over the past millennium, countless aristocratic families have been destroyed by dark races, beast tides, and even natural disasters before their feet were firmly established. The territory that the lord of the court took out this time is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not far away from an important military location in the empire. In an emergency, reinforcements can arrive in a few days. Moreover, that adult would also provide several battalions of elites to be stationed in the territory for three years, so that Li Tianquan could survive the most difficult period.

Such conditions are not only generous, but also thoughtful and comprehensive. It is impossible to say that Li Tianquan is not moved. Although there are still risks after three years, and in these three years, the several battalions of thousands of troops may not necessarily be able to withstand the attack of the dark race army, but for thousands of years in the empire, which high-ranking nobleman has not gone through hardships and obstacles, and in the Growing up in blood and fire? After all, Li Tianquan is also the second elder of the Li family. The opportunity is right in front of him. How can he not even have this courage?

Li Tianquan just had a vague feeling that this matter might not be as simple as Mr. Liao said. If this life in the mirror only involves the life and death of Qianye, why would you ask that master to take out a piece of the family's territory?

The value of this territory is so great that even a piece of Jingshui Sansheng is far from worth it.

There is also an unwritten rule in the empire. If a family goes to the frontier to open up the Four Battles, the previous grudges must be temporarily put aside. Only after a few years, when the clan has established a firm foothold, can the old grudges be revived. In other words, if Li Tianquan accepts the conditions and moves his family to a new territory, neither the Zhao family nor the Li family will be able to seek revenge from him within a few years, otherwise they may incur the hostility of the entire family.

However, this is just normal. Since this is normal, there are always exceptions. What if Zhao Jundu insists on taking action regardless of everything? After all, the lord in the court is somewhat unreasonable. Is he really willing to fight to the death with the future king for the sake of a newly attached small family? Not to mention whether that great man's power can last forever, even if he maintains his power, shouldn't he think about his family's descendants a hundred years from now?

Zhao Jundu has not followed the rules more than once for Qianye. Because of this, Li Tianquan could not make up his mind.

The mirror water in the dark cabinet is like a volcano at the moment, and even getting closer makes people feel suffocated.

At this moment, the office door suddenly opened, and a freezing cold current rushed in, making Li Tianquan shiver subconsciously.

Before he turned around, Li Kuanglan's voice sounded behind him: "Second Elder, why are you so uneasy?"

Li Tianquan was startled, turned around and said with a forced smile: "It's nothing, just a small matter. Why are you here suddenly, nephew?"

"Come here and take a sample, then leave as soon as you get it."

Li Tianquan looked slightly relaxed and said: "What is so important that you need to come and get it in person? Can't you just send someone to get it?"

Li Kuanglan said calmly: "I'm not worried, I have to take it with my own hands."

"Oh, what exactly is it? If you need help from my second uncle, just ask."

Li Kuanglan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a half-smile: "I need help from the second elder. What I want is Jing Shui Sansheng."

"Rebirth in mirror water?!" Li Tianquan's surprise was no small matter. He calmed down and then said: "What do you want this for? Is it possible?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Kuanglan said: "That's right, I asked for it for Qianye."

Li Tianquan was shocked at first, and then turned to anger, saying: "Kanglan! Did you know that Qianye will become a formidable enemy of my Li family when he grows up? How can a treasure like Jingshui Disheng be handed over to him? You act like this What a fool!"

Li Kuanglan raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly: "This mirror water body originally belonged to Qianye, right? I just came to get it for him. Why, what else does the second elder want to say?"

"You" Li Tianquan suddenly discovered that Li Kuanglan no longer addressed him as second uncle, but as second elder. Even so, he simply darkened his face and said: "This moment and that moment. Although this mirror water purification can be said to belong to Qianye, I didn't say when to hand it over to him. I can do such a big thing If you don’t know the master, you need the approval of the head of the house and the queen.”

Li Kuanglan put his hand on the hilt of Han Yue Cong Sha's sword and sneered: "You don't want to surrender, right? Then try to see how many moves you can survive under my Han Yue Cong Sha!"

Li Tianquan was shocked. Although his Force cultivation was higher than that of Li Kuanglan, Li Kuanglan held the magic weapon in his hand and possessed several of the strongest sword skills of the Li family. He would lose more than he would win if he really used his hands. What's more, Li Kuanglan has a special status. Even if he can win, Li Tianquan doesn't dare to really hurt him. How can this fight be fought?

"Kang Lan, if you are so ridiculous, the head of the family and the Queen will definitely not let you go!" Li Tianquan shouted sternly.

Li Kuanglan gave a sneer and said: "I will go and tell my sister where she is. I think she will understand what I mean, so you don't have to worry about it, second elder. Besides, you, the second elder, can still How long you will be in office is also a question.”

A blue line suddenly appeared, with boundless sharpness and biting chill, piercing Li Tianquan's eyebrows!

When something happened suddenly, Li Tianquan used all his strength to mobilize his body, even using the force to pull his body. Only then was he able to avoid Li Kuanglan's sword. But the blue sword light didn't fade away, and it struck straight at the wall, just in time to break open the door of the dark cabinet.

Li Kuanglan took a step forward, picked up the mirror water, put it in his arms, and walked away without even looking at Li Tianquan.

Li Tianquan stood blankly on the spot, looking at the empty dark cabinet, feeling that all the fame, wealth and power were leaving him.
