There was a lot of noise below, Emperor Xia cleared his throat, and said: "It is precisely because of your wanton hunting and killing of strange beasts that you will cause a wave of wild animals everywhere. Let's deal with the beast tide..."

The owners of the families below looked at each other with firm eyes.

This law must never be enforced.

Didn't they know that it would take a lot of money and manpower for the imperial court to send troops to suppress the beast tide, and that's why they needed the beast tide.

Just like after the Sea Clan and Daxia signed a peace treaty, Zhenhai lost its meaning of existence. Once the beast tide disappeared, who would take care of their offerings in the army?

Those priests hunted and killed alien beasts for the family, and at the same time suppressed the beast tide for the court, enjoying the salary of the court. If the beast tide does not happen again, the pressure to support them will come to themselves.

The Patriarch of the Song Family bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the beasts are ferocious. For thousands of years, they have been enemies of the human race. We cannot co-exist peacefully with them."

The head of the Zhang family also continued: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Tolerance to strange beasts is cruelty to the people of Daxia. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

……

Everyone spoke in unison, Emperor Xia's expression was calm, and he was already used to this scene.

The interests of the rich and powerful are not so active. Over the years, every time he tried to touch their interests, he would meet with unanimous opposition from them. At that time, the Sea Clan needed them to suppress, and the alien beasts needed them to resist. As the emperor, There was no other way but to give in blindly.

But now, times have changed.

He glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "I don't care much about whether it is forbidden to kill exotic animals, but this law was proposed by Lin Xiu. If you object, you can talk to him face to face tomorrow morning... ..."

As soon as Emperor Xia finished speaking, the imperial study room, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, the head of the Zhang family suddenly said: "I think Master Lin must have his reasons for doing this. Let's discuss this matter again..."

The Patriarch of the Song family was silent for a moment, and then said: "Think about it carefully, we are indeed too cruel to alien beasts..."

"After returning, I will immediately close the shop that sells Yuanjing..."

"Such a trivial matter, don't bother Mr. Lin anymore..."

……

The imperial court promulgated an inexplicable decree, unless one's own life was threatened, it was not allowed to hunt and kill strange beasts to obtain Yuanjing.

For ordinary people, it is the same whether there is this law or not.

How could ordinary people have the ability to hunt and kill strange beasts? Those were all done by powerful magicians.

Some people feel that those hunted animals are pitiful. The court's decree is doing good, and some people think that this is purely superfluous. It is only natural for human beings to hunt and kill animals. Why should legislation be prohibited?

However, after the promulgation of this law, the governments that were infested by the beast horde unexpectedly discovered that the beast horde that had been very frequent a few days ago suddenly stopped, and there were no more alien beasts attacking human cities in groups. At this time, Only then did they understand the intention of the court.

These days, everything seems to be getting better. The dignitaries act in a low-key manner. The Sea Clan and Daxia live in peace and even trade with each other. stable situation.

Shanglin Court.

Lingyin just came back from practicing in the polar region today, and her practice time this time was very short. Lin Xiu came to her room, and she sat by the bed. When she saw Lin Xiu, she immediately looked away.

Lin Xiu walked over and asked in a low voice, "Have you thought about it?"

Lingyin looked at him, then put his arms around him, and said, "It depends on your performance in the future..."

Although she talked about watching her performance in the future, Lin Xiu had already got the answer from her eyes. He smiled and said, "Okay..."

A figure came from outside the door, Zhao Lingjun looked at them and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Lingjun, Lingyin immediately stood up, her face turned red, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

Zhao Lingjun walked over slowly, looked at Lin Xiu, then at Lingyin, and suddenly took Lin Xiu's hand with one hand, and Lingyin's hand with the other, she put their hands together, and said lightly: "Don't think about it, I decided for you..."

Chapter 384

Inside the room, Lingyin stared blankly at Lingjun, moved her lips, and said, "I..."

Ling Jun looked at her, shook her head and said, "Needless to say, I know... you should have been the one who married into the Lin family, and I have always been the one who took your place."

Lingyin hurriedly said: "No, the marriage contract was originally yours..."

Ling Jun smiled and said, "But he likes you, and you like him too, don't you?"

Lingyin lowered her head and said, "But..."

Ling Jun held her hand and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. Since you like each other, you should be together. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Lin Xiu also imagined that if he could fall in love freely without that marriage contract, Lingjun might be his sister-in-law instead of his wife.

Zhao Lingjun looked at Lin Xiu and asked, "Can I have a few words with Lingyin alone?"

Lin Xiu nodded, turned and walked out of the room.

He didn't use his ability to eavesdrop on the conversation in the room, but he could guess what Lingjun would say to Lingyin.

Lingyin has always had a knot in her heart, and only Lingjun can untie this knot.

After a long time, Ling Jun came out, Lin Xiu looked at her and said, "Thank you."

Lingjun shook her head slightly and said, "If it wasn't for me, you would have been together a long time ago. I don't want to delay Lingyin's lifelong happiness. I will tell my parents about it."

After speaking, she left directly.

Lin Xiu walked back to the room without asking her anything.

Lingyin glanced at Lin Xiu, and said proactively, "My sister said she doesn't like you, so let me marry you without worry."

Lin Xiudao: "It's like who likes her..."

Lingyin looked into Lin Xiu's eyes and asked, "You really don't like sister?"

Lin Xiu asked back: "Why should I like her, she is not as cute as you."

Zhao Lingjun was a boring woman, and only superficial men would like her because of her looks and talent. If she really wanted to marry her back home, she would have to be Lingyin, Ning'er and Qin Wan.

Of course, this is an evaluation as a wife.

Although she was not Lin Xiu's ideal wife, she was his most reliable comrade-in-arms and partner, his biggest competitor, and the matchmaker he should be most grateful for.

Lin Xiu looked at Lingyin and took the opportunity to ask, "So, are you ready to marry me?"

Lingyin rolled his eyes at him and said, "I said it depends on your performance..."

……

Although Lingyin said that it depends on Lin Xiu's performance, but this is just her arrogance, similar to holding hands and arms, she does not resist.

However, before the official announcement, they cannot appear in front of people openly.

Only after the disguise, can they walk down the street holding hands like ordinary couples.

Many times, Lingyin will also pull Lingjun together, Lin Xiu holds Lingjun's hand, Lingyin holds her other hand, so in the eyes of others, it is just a sister and brother-in-law leading a younger sister .

Her small thoughts could be hidden from Ling Jun, but not from Lin Xiu.

They are indeed sisters, Lingjun is matching him and Lingyin, Lingyin is also matching him and Lingjun.

Lingyin didn't want the two of them to go on like this for the rest of their lives.

After all, their future is still very long, not decades, but hundreds of years.

However, although there is no grievance between Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun, they still can't act like a real couple. It is undeniable that deep down in their hearts, there is an unresolved knot between them.

Lin Xiu can pursue Lingyin, but emotionally, he will never bow to Lingjun.

In the same way, how proud Zhao Lingjun is, she will not change the choice she once made.

Lin Mansion, back garden, Lin Xiu and Lingyin were playing chess. Lin Xiu had already lost several games in a row. Seeing Lingjun approaching, Lingyin immediately waved and said, "Sister, let's play the next game..."

Ling Jun shook her head and said, "Go down, I'll just watch from the side."

Lingyin stood up, pushed her down on the stone bench, and said, "Come on, I'm tired, I just need to rest for a while."

Lingjun had no choice but to pick up the chess pieces.

They played Go. When Lin Xiu and Lingyin played, they lost several games in a row, but when they played with Lingjun, they were clean and decisive. They won three games and won three games. After losing three games in a row, Lingjun stood up. , said to Lingyin: "Come down, I'm going back to my room to practice..."

When she left, Lingyin glared at Lin Xiu fiercely, and said, "You can't let my sister have a game..."

Lin Xiu said innocently: "You didn't say that before..."

Seeing Lingyin's helpless expression, Lin Xiu calmly arranged the chess pieces.

He can lose to anyone, but he can't lose to Zhao Lingjun, sorry.

She is kind to Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu can give her a massage, cook for her, serve her tea and water, give her a second ability, give her the only seventh-order Yuanjing, but she can't lose to her, Be it chess or something else.

Lingyin twisted his waist lightly, and said, "Don't think I don't know, you just don't want to lose to your sister."

Lin Xiudao: "She didn't want to lose to me. You didn't see how fierce her offensive was just now. I almost lost..."

Zhao Lingjun's chess skills are very high. When she played against Lin Xiu just now, she didn't hold back her hands. If Lin Xiu hadn't been able to see through her thoughts first and disrupt her layout, he really couldn't beat her.

This competitive woman.

Lingyin said angrily: "You two are really a match made in heaven!"

Lin Xiudao: "I really didn't compete with her on purpose. If you don't believe me, ask Wan'er, I play chess with her, and I often beat her..."

Lingyin snorted coldly and said, "That's because she has to take off a piece of clothing after losing. Don't think I don't know what you guys did behind my back..."

Lin Xiu blushed, glanced away, pointed to the distant sky, changed the subject and said, "Look, Da Luo's mission is here, do you think there will be Natasha, I haven't seen her for a long time..."

An ice ship flew from the north and landed in front of the Great Xia Palace.

The two Da Luo envoys supported each other and staggered into the palace. Not long after, more than ten important officials in the court received His Majesty's call.

In the Lin residence, Zhu Jin hurried in and said to Lin Xiu, "Your Majesty has summoned you, Master Lin quickly follow me into the palace."

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Xiu asked, "What happened?"

Zhu Jindao: "It's a very important matter, let's talk about it in the imperial study."

When Lin Xiu arrived at the imperial study room, many people from the various dignitaries' houses had already arrived. Two envoys from Da Luo sat slumped in the hall, their faces pale, and their vitality and physical strength seemed to have been exhausted.

Soon, Lin Xiu learned a shocking news from them.

Da Luo, the sky has changed...

A day ago, more than a dozen powerful families in Da Luo suddenly jointly staged a coup d'etat. When Emperor Da Luo was retreating, he gathered eight heavenly powerhouses and launched a surprise attack on him. That emperor deserved to be the top powerhouse in the world. In the siege of eight strong men of the same level, they even forcibly killed a bloody path. They did not fall, but escaped with serious injuries and disappeared.

Participating in this coup were even two heaven-level powerhouses from the Da Luo royal family.

After the great emperor of Da Luo was seriously injured and disappeared, Prince Da Luo was quickly entrusted to the throne. He immediately put the other princes under house arrest, and announced that he would marry Princess Natasha to a certain elder of Da You. Luo and Dayou have been friends since then...

The dignitaries of Da Luo have always been the biggest unstable factor in Da Luo's country. Under the iron fist of the great emperor, they have only been able to settle down for so many years.

The rule of iron and blood is effective, but it can only bring superficial peace. No one thought that they would launch a coup at this time, which would completely change Daluo overnight.

This coup changed not only Da Luo, but also the situation on the mainland.

The dignitaries of Da Luo were originally inclined towards Da You, and the alliance between Da Luo and Da Xia was also facilitated by the previous great emperor. The great emperor had an accident, and Da Luo changed the new emperor. Naturally, the alliance between the two countries also no longer exists...

So far, three of the five great dynasties have fallen to Dayou. This is undoubtedly a huge bad news for Daxia...

Chapter 385

In the imperial study room, Lin Xiu glanced and quickly locked on to a figure.

Natasha was standing by a pillar, her face was pale, and her eyes had lost their former agility.

After the accident happened in Da Luo, several nobles and powerful men went to chase and kill the great emperor. The prince who had just ascended the throne was busy cleaning up the mess and stabilizing the situation. rescued.

With the secret help of a neutral heavenly rank noble in Da Luo, they escaped from Da Luo and came all the way to Da Xia.

Natasha is the princess of Da Luo. If she marries the elder of Da You, it will mark the official alliance between the two countries. At that time, Da You and Da Luo will have sufficient reasons to attack Da Xia together.

Together, the two countries are enough to sweep the continent.

In the main hall, all the dignitaries of Daxia were obviously a little flustered.

For a long time, Da Xia and Da Luo needed to join forces to barely resist the pressure from Da You and the other two dynasties. Now, the most powerful ally has turned to the enemy, and only Da Xia is left to fight alone.

The original balance of the mainland was broken, Dayou's next goal must be Daxia.

After suffering heavy losses, Dayou, a country, has lost its absolute dominance over the mainland, and they will not give up if they don't turn Daxia into the same as Daluo.

In fact, Dayou's action to overthrow Daxia has already begun.
