Chapter 429:
In the center of Daxia City, in an area adjacent to the palace, there is a magnificent mansion and manor. The mansion is tightly guarded, with guards patrolling back and forth. There are many sharp eyes projecting out of the darkness, forming a dragnet that will This palace is covered and shrouded.
This is the Regent's Palace. In a sense, the power represented by this palace is even greater than that of the palace not far away at the moment.
Gong Shenjun got off the chariot outside the palace, and then went straight into the palace. Along the way, passers-by bent down to greet him.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
Gong Shenjun was already accustomed to the greetings along the way. With a calm face, he walked through the criss-crossed corridors and courtyards of the palace, and finally came to a study room facing the lake. The study room was simple and There was no luxury, and there seemed to be no human guards around the study, but Gong Shenjun knew that the strongest guard was here in the entire palace.
Here, ordinary powerful men may not be able to approach the study.
However, Gong Shenjun came to the study without any hindrance. Without waiting for him to knock on the door, the door opened automatically. When he walked in, he saw the regent at the desk, flipping through classics and making some records.
The regent was dressed in casual clothes. He raised his head and glanced at Gong Shenjun, who saluted respectfully: "Father." The regent
smiled and waved his hand: "Don't bother with this at home." "
For this ticket competition, you His performance is quite good." He put down the book with a look of appreciation.
Gong Shenjun shook his head and said: "The opponents I have met are not strong. Compared with Liang Kui and Zhongnan, the gap is not small, and Zhongnan's defense is the strongest among his peers I have ever seen. Even No dynasty in our school can compare to him."
"If I meet Zhongnan, I may not be able to break his defense within the limited time."
The regent smiled and said: "After all, it is just a competition, not a life and death battle. If it were another person In this situation, the so-called strongest defense is just a target and does not pose much of a threat."
He waved, let Gong Shenjun come to his side, and then dropped a piece of information in his hand on the table.
Gong Shenjun took a look and saw the three words Luo Lan Mansion that stood out.
"In this ticket competition, the surprising thing is not Jiang Qing'e, but Li Luo, who I didn't pay much attention to before." The
regent patted the information in front of him and said with a smile: "I have read Luo Lan in the past two days. According to the intelligence of the government in the past six months, this Li Luo is not a simple man. The Luo Lan Mansion, which was originally in a precarious situation, turned around little by little after he revealed his dual nature in Nanfeng City. Especially when he came to After Daxia City, the situation in the Luo Lan Mansion has almost been completely stabilized. Now its Xiyang House is developing rapidly, and its scale has begun to surpass that of Li Taixuan, and Tantai Lan was here." "And these are all done by Li
Luo "Why."
The regent smiled and said: "In the past, everyone looked at the dazzling young phoenix in Luo Lan Mansion, but ignored the hidden dragon Li Luo. But it's right to think about it. Li Taixuan, Tantai Lan and so on Character, their son, if you really treat him as a waste, you would be the most stupid." "
But everyone used to think so." Gong Shenjun said seriously.
The regent was dumbfounded and then laughed. It was true, after all, an "empty phase" was enough to cut off all Li Luo's future.
As for Li Luo's sudden change of heart, no one expected it.
"What do you think of this Li Luo?" the regent asked.
Gong Shenjun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "He has great potential, and he is different from Jiang Qing'e and his parents. He likes to hide himself. If it hadn't been for those many coincidences that pushed him out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see him by now. It's hard to believe that he can be so good."
"With him and Jiang Qing'e in the Luo Lan Mansion, I feel that it is only a matter of time before we can return to our peak."
The Regent nodded and said with some meaning: "But what the Luo Lan Mansion lacks most is time. He
paused and said with a smile: "You seem to like Jiang Qing'e very much, right? My father also said that as long as you are really capable of bringing her back, I will allow your marriage."
Gong Shenjun sighed helplessly and said: "Since Li Luo appeared, my slim chance has become even more impossible. All of us have underestimated the bond and emotion between Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. They That engagement is not a decoration."
"Also, I originally thought that Li Luo was just an ordinary person. The more contact I had with him, the more I would naturally make him feel ashamed of himself, and Jiang Qing'e should also be able to understand my excellence." These
words Others may be bragging when they say this, but when Gong Shenjun says it, it feels natural, because he is indeed excellent. Regardless of his status, cultivation talent, or city government, he is far ahead of his peers.
He is the top person among the young generation in Daxia today.
"But it's a pity that Li Luo's performance in the past six months has made me feel a little embarrassed." Gong Shenjun shrugged and said, "So maybe I have no chance." The regent smiled and said, "Does this mean you admit failure
? It's not like your character."
"The facts have to be faced, and although I admitted failure, I gave up completely without saying anything." Gong Shenjun said.
The regent patted the Luo Lan Mansion's information gently with his palm and said with a smile: "Then do you need father's help? Jiang Qing'e does have extraordinary potential. If this young phoenix can land in our palace, father will also be very happy. I'm happy."
Gong Shenjun smiled when he heard this and said, "I still want to try first to see if I can really win her heart." "
Young people still like to fantasize after all."
The regent was noncommittal, but he was not there either. There was not much to say about this topic, but the words changed: "Didn't you get the Golden Jade Xuanxiang Knife?"
Gong Shenjun nodded helplessly.
The regent seemed to have expected this, and sighed: "Although this sword is only Pang Qianyuan's sword in his early years, it has finally witnessed his road to becoming king. Its spiritual power is so strong that even you can't conquer it. Forget it, let’s continue to let it be inserted into the school’s treasure house as a decoration.”
“But it was pulled out by Li Luo.”
The regent raised his head, his eyes fixed on the face of the palace god Jun Yingwu, and said slowly: "Did Li Luo pull it out?" "Although it's a bit
unbelievable, it is true."
The regent's fingers rhythmically touched the table. After a long while, he smiled and said: "This Li Luo is really interesting."
In the end, he didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, and Gong Shenjun exited the study.
The study fell silent.
The regent's eyes were slightly closed, and after a long while, he said calmly: "It seems that I can't get the sword."
The study seemed to become dark at this time, and someone in the shadow opened his deep eyes, and at the same time there was an erratic sound. Uncertainly, a voice that seemed far away sounded: "It's just a small fortune teller realm."
It meant something.
"Of course Li Luo is not worth mentioning."
The regent shook his head and said, "But the Holy Grail War is not far away. Li Luo is now a student that Shengxuanxing Academy focuses on. If something happens to him at this time, the academy will not sit back and watch. No matter what, when the time comes for an extensive investigation, twists and turns will inevitably occur and ruin our original plan." The
regent looked at the deep eyes in the darkness, and an oppressive voice sounded.
"In the past, you always said that our plans were perfect, so the lack of a saber wouldn't have much impact, right?"
The figure in the darkness seemed to flutter like a candle, and then there was a hoarse laugh. It sounded: "Well, it's just a whim. I want to play more chess. Whether it is or not, it really doesn't matter much." "
It's you."
There seemed to be a smile from the person in the darkness.
"It's been so many years, haven't you made up your mind to join us?"
The regent's face was a little dim under the light. He picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, put one cup next to him, and drank it in small sips. It was uncertain, but it was silent for a long time.
In the darkness, a hand stretched out and picked up the tea cup. On one finger of that hand, there was a dark red simple ring. On the ring, there was an eye engraved on it, but the white of this eye was It is black, but the pupils are white. After looking at it for a long time, it seems that the strange eye is slowly closing, and finally black and white become one, like the annihilation of yin and yang.
At the same time, there seemed to be an inexplicable low murmur, sounding in the darkness.
"Light and darkness come from the same source, good and evil come together."
