Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 709 Heavenly Disease
Standing in the shadow behind the window frame of the study, Xu Yinhe calmly looked at the three children who were still confronting each other in the yard.

At first he did want to mediate, but after Xu Yuan's explanation, which was both true and false, it was impossible for him to stop it.

He heard the core issue in Changtian's long string of lies, and therefore, although his words seemed neutral, he was actually supporting the third brother.

Throughout the whole incident, except for the third child, the other two younger generations in the family made mistakes based on principle.

Moreover, compared to Xiao Si's act of crossing the line to adjust funds, what the eldest son in the family did was even more presumptuous.

From the moment Xu Yuan returned to Beijing in the Prime Minister's palace, Xu Changge could no longer contradict him on many things.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Xu Changge can't beat Xu Yuan again. The Prime Minister's Mansion is not a place with strict class systems like the royal family. The two brothers have been living like this since they were young. With Xu Yuan's temper, how could he not cause trouble for Xu Changge after his cultivation level improves?

But there are two prerequisites for the two to take action.

First, it cannot be done in front of outsiders, and second, it does not involve the core power of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And Xu Changge had just violated the second rule.

He could have stopped Xu Yuan from bullying his fourth sister, but after knowing what Xu Xinyao had done, he should have stopped and watched immediately instead of continuing to protect her and attack Xu Yuan.

His behavior,

He has already usurped the authority of the heir to the prime minister's mansion.

Thinking of this, Xu Yinhe's gaze out the window became somewhat complicated.

He knew that this was due to Xu Changge's personality.

In the eyes of the eldest son, Changtian is still more of his younger brother than the heir to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The intention is not bad, but it is the root of trouble.

This time, Xinyao's private use of 7 million supplies was a trivial matter, and he, as a father, could forgive it with just one word, but what about the future?

If he is gone in the future, and the third brother makes a decision that goes against the eldest brother's wishes and someone jumps out to disagree, what will the people below think?
What will the third brother think after the accumulation of small amounts?
Xu Yinhe believed that the third brother would not be ruthless, but power is always ruthless.

Staring at the three sons in the yard, Xu Yinhe's eyes were complicated.

Changtian should be able to understand the meaning of his words.

Of course Xu Yuan understood, and was even slightly excited.

When the father said that he didn't need to care about the conflict between the two brothers, he actually meant that he should go and enlighten the eldest brother.

And the means don’t matter.

I had always wanted to give this bastard a beating, and now I have a legitimate reason to do so.

The water-proof formation blocked the rain curtain from the sky, and the autumn wind blew through the golden sycamore trees in the courtyard, causing leaves to fall.

Xu Yuan walked towards the study, looking at his elder brother meaningfully.

Xu Changge simply ignored Xu Yuan's provocation.

Although I don't agree with it, it was indeed his fault, so I don't want to bother with this guy for the time being.

But soon,
Xu Changge caught a glimpse of the third brother raising his hand, pointing at him, then pointing at the ground in the yard, and lip-syncing.

Have it, plant it, don’t run.

"."

It feels like ants are crawling on my fist.

After taking two deep breaths, Xu Changge looked away, still not wanting to bother with his younger brother. But after seeing the mocking look on the boy's face, he finally gave in.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Changge glanced at the boy coldly and uttered four words:
【Roll to Jiange】

The words fell,

Swish————

With a gust of breeze, the green dress disappeared in an instant.

The speed was so fast that even the invincible transcendental warrior of the same level subconsciously stopped.

Looking at the direction Xu Changge left, Xu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

Bad.

Metamorphosis.

"Dad, did Xu Changge really break through?"

This was the first thing Xu Yuan asked when he entered the door.

The study is still the same study, with complicated bookshelves, stacked files, and the scent of incense mixed with paper and ink in the air, but the desk at the back seems to have been replaced with a new one.

However, this time, Xu Yinhe did not read documents behind the desk, but sat beside the tea table on the east side of the study, brewing fragrant tea.

Hearing Xu Yuan's question, Xu Yinhe did not answer immediately. He held a small kettle and used boiling spring water to scald the porcelain cup. He slowly completed the tea preparation process and pushed a cup of steaming fragrant tea to Xu Yuan who was already sitting opposite him. He also dispersed the rain shelter formation in the inner courtyard and said softly:
"Well, a breakthrough."

"."

Looking at the porcelain cup in front of him and the steam rising from it, Xu Yuan hesitated for a while, then suddenly smiled with relief:

"Since Xu Changge has also made a breakthrough, father, you still let me beat him, which means that my strength is already..."

"When did your father ever tell you to use violence to persuade Changge?"

"."

The air was suddenly silent.

Without the barrier of the formation, the lingering autumn rain fell drop by drop, hitting the eaves. The autumn wind blowing through the window lattices was a little cool, and it made me feel chilly on my body.

Looking at the three sons in front of him, Xu Yinhe's deep eyes revealed a faint smile:
"Scared?"

"No, no, how could it be possible?"

Xu Yuan denied it three times in a row, and said slowly: "I had already guessed that he had broken through to the Transcendent on the way back to Beijing. I just verified it and was a little surprised."

Qiu Yu listened to the wind, Xu Yinhe took a sip of light green tea and said:

"If you really don't want to, I can go to Jiange and talk to Changge in person."

"Need not."

Xu Yuan quickly refused.

I finally got the imperial order to beat my brother, so I can't just waste it like this.

"It's just a little troublesome. Even if he breaks through to the Transcendent Realm, my chances of winning will only drop from 100% to 90%."

"."

Xu Yinhe stared at the smiles on the faces of the three men opposite him for a few breaths, and said with a smile:
"Not bad, very confident."

Xu Yuan was not modest and said directly:

"If you don't have this kind of cultivation, how can you participate in this Di'an situation?"

Xu Yinhe stroked the porcelain cup with his fingertips and said leisurely:
"I have planned a lot in my life, but I never expected that you would grow up so fast."

Xu Yuan picked up the porcelain cup in front of him and took a sip, saying:
"After all, time is running out, and many things require taking risks."

"."

Listen to the autumn wind and brew tea over a warm fire.

Xu Yinhe's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of self-blame in his deep black eyes.

Although he had not seen it in person, his subordinate Ji Bao reported to him most of what his three sons had experienced in the past few years.

Whether it was the destruction of Xu Mansion in Jingjiang, the trip to Vientiane City, or the Massacre of the Barbarians.

Every time he was facing death, even a small wrong step would lead to complete and irreparable destruction.

The great changes in the Western Desert not long ago were caused by his father's misjudgment, which put Changtian in a situation where there was no chance of survival.

But even so,
The kid in front of me still found a way out of that dead end.

But it wasn’t supposed to be this way.

These things and these risks should have been accomplished by him as a father, but now they all fall on the shoulders of his third son.

Xu Yinhe wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he only uttered three words:

"very nice."

Silence for a while,

Xu Yinhe took a deep breath, slowly put down the porcelain cup, and said very solemnly:
“Changtian, thank you.

"You have given me, as a father, a lot of options."

"."

This was the first time that Xu Yuan was thanked so seriously by his father. He was a little stunned, but after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:

"Father, thank you is the most worthless word in the world."

"." Xu Yinhe was a little surprised. Just as he was about to ask the third son what he wanted, he saw Xu Yuan directly take out two bottles of jade wine from the Xumi Ring and said:
"So we won't be drinking tea today, let's drink wine instead."

"."

Hearing this, the powerful Prime Minister of Dayan was stunned for a rare moment, but then he nodded in agreement, and his low and steady tone was also filled with a smile:
"Of course you can, but Changtian, where did you get this hundred-year-old Incense Phoenix Altar?"

While Xu Yuan was pouring wine for his father, he said casually:
"I went to the Black Prison to see my grandfather, and he gave it to me."

Xu Yinhe took the porcelain cup, took a sip, and said softly:
"It seems that Lou Ji has helped you hide a lot of things."

"I asked her to do this. I hope father won't mind."

This behavior was presumptuous, but Xu Yuan knew that his father would not care, so he just said what he was thinking:

"I want to release Grandpa."

"can."

"I went to see grandpa some time ago, and he no longer hates me. Huh?"

Halfway through his words, Xu Yuan suddenly raised his eyes and asked hesitantly:

"Father, do you agree now?"

"You have your own judgment in doing this, and you don't need to explain it to your father."

Xu Yinhe sipped the familiar yet unfamiliar nectar, with a hint of reminiscence in his dark pupils, and whispered:
"Father has already given them instructions in Moyin Pavilion just now."

What did the old man order?
it goes without saying.

The most likely thing is to make Lou Ji and others obey his orders to the greatest extent.

But, isn’t this a bit too hasty?
Seeing Xu Yuan's hesitant look, Xu Yinhe explained softly: "For important matters, they will still inform your father."

Xu Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that his father was preparing to directly hand over power and prepare for his death.

It would be fine if he just took over the regency in advance.

However, compared to the current crown prince who is more symbolic than actual regent, the actual power on his side is obviously greater.

While thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:
"Father, when I entered the capital, I only saw Li Zhaoyuan's army, our Black Scale Army, and Wuchenghou's Northern Sealing Army in the north of Di'an City."

"This is His Majesty's intention."

Xu Yinhe spoke slowly, glancing in the direction of the imperial palace: "The rebellion in the three northern continents has been quelled, but we still need people to garrison there."

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, are you really planning to let Li Zhaoyuan succeed you?"

Xu Yinhe raised his eyes and glanced at him, then asked:
"I don't know what Your Majesty means, but do you still want to kill him now?"

"."

silence.

Dad once asked him this question.

That time he answered with absolute certainty.

But this time,
This question made Xu Yuan suddenly fall silent.

When he first saw the internal report and saw that Li Zhaoyuan had joined forces with the Wanyao Sect to use the epidemic to wreak havoc on the people of the northern border, he felt so disgusted that he almost wanted to kill Li Zhaoyuan immediately.

but now.
Xu Yuan found that he had changed.

Became much more cold-blooded.

The death of millions of common people is not as great as the hatred of Li Junwu alone.

Xu Yinhe looked at the silent third son and gently placed a file in front of Xu Yuan:
"This is the file that Lou Ji brought back, about Li Zhaoyuan."

Seeing that the third son did not answer, Xu Yinhe stated in a calm tone:

"Li Zhaoyuan used more than a year to cut off all ties with the sect. The Wanyao Valley was massacred by him, and all evidence was destroyed. The 100,000 elite soldiers of the sect also surrendered in the war."

"."

When Xu Yuan heard this, he subconsciously raised his eyes.

Wanyao Valley is not a fool, and the sect is even less so.

The former will certainly guard against Li Zhaoyuan's attempt to erase his bad deeds and take various countermeasures.

The latter is a bigger problem.

The loyalty of the soldiers and generals, the military formations, the food, clothing, wages, and medicines for the 100,000-strong army, as well as the families and friends of the soldiers are all uncertain factors.

These were just what Xu Yuan thought of in a flash, and Li Zhaoyuan would have to solve even more problems in reality.

These problems were entangled like a ball of thread, but Li Zhaoyuan took only one year to weave them into his own armor.

The rain hits the window lattice with a patter.

Xu Yuan drank the fragrant Feng Jing wine in the cup and said softly:

"I think I understand why the emperor would like this guy. It seems that he really has climbed out of hell."

Xu Yinhe commented:
"Li Zhaoyuan's methods are no less powerful than those of Li Yaoxuan back then."

Hearing such high praise, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced towards the north of the city, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and stroked the smooth wall of the cup:
"Father, the way to the top of the mountain is difficult, but rolling down should be fast."

The light was dim, and the rain flowed down the eaves like a beaded curtain.

Xu Yinhe looked at the coldness in the eyes of the third son in front of him, and did not continue the topic, but said:
"Although he has not led any troops, Wu Yuan has also been ordered to return to the capital, and should be in the palace now."

Xu Yuan frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully:
"What does the Emperor mean by this?"

Li Qingyan should not come to the capital. If Li Yaoxuan really wants to use her, he should let this breast-bound princess lead troops and station near the capital.

"Perhaps he is paving the way for Li Zhaoyuan, or perhaps it is for something else. As a father, I can no longer see clearly what Li Yaoxuan is thinking now."

As Xu Yinhe answered, he turned his head to look at the palace on the top of the mountain and whispered in a deep voice:
"Changtian, Jiulong Mountain used to be a volcano, and now this volcano is about to erupt. If you have anything you want to do, do it as soon as possible. Li Yaoxuan doesn't have much time left, and the royal family should take action soon."

"In that case, why don't we take the initiative?"

Xu Yuan looked at his father who looked like Gu Tan in front of him.

He didn't understand.

The royal family in "Cangyuan" has no presence at all, and has been purged by the prime minister's mansion in every timeline.

And soon,
The middle-aged man in black robe gave Xu Yuan the answer:
"I have just said that Changtian, you have given me more options. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the royal family must be our allies. The Prime Minister's Mansion alone cannot support this crumbling building."

"."

The tea has cooled and the wine is shaking gently.

Xu Yuan asked tentatively:
"Is it because of that woman surnamed Wen?"

Xu Yinhe's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked slowly:
"It seems that she told you something."

Xu Yuan nodded, carefully considered his words, and said briefly:

"She said that she wanted to conquer the heavens, so she needed to take over the world."

The words fell,

Xu Yuan thought that the old man in front of him would not care, but Xu Yinhe lowered his eyes slightly at this time.

In the huge study, there was no other sound except the sound of raindrops falling in the autumn sky.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yinhe murmured slowly:
".Is it true that I want to destroy the heaven?"

"."

Xu Yuan looked at the old man's expression and asked tentatively:
"That woman didn't lie?"

Xu Yinhe did not give a direct answer, but just smiled and said:
"Changtian, explore for the father."

"."

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still did as he was told.

In the past, his cultivation was not enough, and all he could see with his spiritual vision was darkness. But now that he has transcended the mortal world, even though his father is a saint, he should be able to see through it. And since his father has said so, he must be defenseless now.

His spiritual vision extended and scanned the middle-aged man in black opposite him.

next moment,
Xu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared at the smiling middle-aged man opposite him in a daze.

At this moment, his thoughts became very complicated, but all these confusions eventually came down to one thing.

Why did the father in front of me say that he could only live for another twenty years at most?

The incurable disease of Great Yan Prime Minister Xu Yinhe was not caused by any other disease.
It's his cultivation.

That uncontrolled, ever-increasing cultivation level.
