Inseparable from the Ancient Sword

The banquet after the Shennong sacrifice was held on time, and the elders of the aristocratic families sat in order according to their official positions.This banquet was quite grand, even the sick old Taishi Canglong walked in tremblingly supported by Cang Mao, which attracted everyone to stand up and salute.

The music of silk and bamboo rang out, and the atmosphere was in full swing.After drinking for three rounds, Luo Ji suddenly burst into tears, and everyone put down their glasses in confusion.

Shen Ye said: "Elder Luo, what's the matter?"

Luo Ji cried and said, "This sacrificial banquet is presided over by the city lord every year. At that time, all of us aristocrats and the city lord discussed the future of Liuyue City together. Those laughters and laughter are still vivid in my mind. Now, although the high priest has worked tirelessly to host Banquet, but every time I think of the supreme demeanor of the city lord, I can't help but miss..." Luo Ji lowered his head and wiped his tears as he said.

Shen Ye sneered in his heart.This is right, although on the surface it is reminiscing about the past, but in fact every sentence is aimed at Shen Ye, implying that he is the rooster who watches the morning.Reminiscent of the rumors that have been circulating recently, everyone is inevitably suspicious again: Could it be that Shen Ye really put the Lord Cangming under house arrest and wanted to seek power and usurp the throne?

Shen Ye's eyes slowly swept across the people present, raised his wine glass, and said, "It's hard for Elder Luo Ji to still care about Cangming City Lord, his loyalty is commendable."

Luo Ji returned a cup of toast, and said: "The Lord of Cangming City is the most honorable master of Liuyue City, and the leader loved by all his subjects. Although I, Luo Ji, am an elder of the family, I am also a subject of Liuyue City, so I am naturally loyal to the City Lord. It’s just that City Lord Cangming suffers from a stubborn illness, and it’s rare for me to see the City Lord all year round. Every time I think about it, it’s inevitable that I feel sad..."

Luo Ji spoke with sincerity. Many elders of the clans present were veterans who followed the previous city lord all the way. They watched the birth of the city lord Cangming and the growth of the city lord Cangming, but they also watched the city lord Cangming suffer from a serious disease. Weaken little by little.They not only have reverence for the monarch, but also care for the juniors.In their hearts, the city lord Cangming's family is the orthodoxy of Liuyue City.Although in the past few years, Shen Ye has used iron fists to control the actual control of Liuyue City with thunder, but most of the children of the family are convinced.Originally, the mutual check and balance of the two forces could maintain the superficial peace of Liuyue City, but once Luo Ji's words came out, it was like a sharp knife breaking through the ice that sealed the river. Those deeply suppressed unwillingness, suspicion, and contempt were like Living springs are generally gushing out.Immediately, the eyes of some clan elders looking at Shen Ye changed.

Shen Ye remained unmoved, just looked at Luo Ji quietly.Although these words were provocative, they didn't hit the nail on the head. With Luo Ji's character like an old fox, there must be some tricks.

Sure enough, Luo Ji said again: "Although it's hard to say, everyone knows that the current city lord, Cangming, is suffering from a serious disease, and can only cling to Jumu to heal his wounds all day long. I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceive children in this life. Fortunately, God has mercy, In Lord Cangming's lineage, there is also Lord Yufeng, who is the cousin of the Lord Cangming, and judging from his blood relationship, he is the first heir to the position of Lord Cangming." Luo Ji wiped away his tears, using a rather He said in a gratified tone: "What's more, there is Lord Xie Yi, the priest of the broken army - he is the son of the sister of the former city lord, and was adopted under the name of the city lord, and entered into the genealogy - his status is distinguished. He is also the high priest. His personal disciple, talented and intelligent, has made great achievements in spells and Yanshu, and is the leader of the younger generation of my Liuyue City. It is really a great fortune for my Liuyue City to have such an excellent successor!"

After Luo Ji finished speaking, he drank the wine glass in his hand, holding it very happily.All the clan elders present here were also quite moved, as if they really saw the bright future of Liuyue City, they all smiled and drank the wine in their cups.

Luo Ji raised his wine glass and smiled all over his face: "I heard that Master Xie Yi returned to Liuyue City a few days ago. Everyone hasn't seen Master Xie Yi for a long time, why don't we ask the high priest to invite Master Xie Yi to the banquet, Let everyone here take a good look."

It turned out to be waiting here!Shen Ye lowered his head to look at the wine in the glass, it was clear and transparent, and looked very harmless, but Shen Ye knew how many mysteries were hidden in it, and if there was a slight mistake, it would be irreversible: "Elder Luo Ji just joked, my disciple I am very stupid, I have studied in the lower realm for decades and still have nothing, so I have never returned to Liuyue City, I am afraid that Elder Luo Ji is dazzled. Huh?"

Luo Ji said: "A villain is not talented. In recent years, I have read some sub-collections of classics and history of the lower realm, and found it very interesting. Today at this banquet, I couldn't help but reminded me of a short story in "Three Kingdoms". At that time, The street pavilion fell, and Sima Yi's army approached the west city. Zhuge Kongming had no soldiers to defend against the enemy, but opened the city gate and played the piano on the tower. Sima Yi suspected that there was an ambush, so he retreated. I don't know if what the high priest said just now was also an empty city strategy? "

Luo Ji's strategy was really vicious: first, he stated that the Lord Cangming could not give birth to a successor, highlighting Xie Yi's identity, and then launched an attack on Shen Ye following Xie Yi's disappearance.If Xie Yi can appear at the banquet, Luo Ji will strike while the iron is hot to confirm the identity of Xie Yi's successor, and then gradually evade Shen Ye's authority; The successor who murdered the city lord is a traitor!

Shen Ye instantly understood the viciousness of Luo Ji's plan, looking at Luo Ji's righteous and indignant face, Shen Ye felt disgusted.These aristocratic families only know how to fight for power all day long but turn a blind eye to the plight of Liuyue City. They are really a bunch of moths!

Shen Ye's heart was extremely cold, he was about to answer, but was interrupted by an unexpected voice.

"Luo Ji, don't be rude!" The old grand master Canglong stood up tremblingly, his trembling body seemed to fall down in a second, but he didn't fall down at all: "Master Ziwei Priest, Please forgive Luo Ji for being rude." Canglong quickly saluted, very sincere and fearful.

"It's nothing." Shen Ye waved his hand: "Today's wine is not bad. I just saw Elder Luo Ji drank several glasses in a row. I'm afraid he's drunk so he can talk so nonsense."

"Your High Priest's words are wrong." Luo Ji suddenly changed the subject, and put on an old face, "There is a saying in the lower world, 'Speak the truth after drinking'. Most of these so-called 'slips after drinking' are It’s just the truth that doesn’t sound good. Doesn’t the High Priest not want to hear the truth? Or, are you afraid of telling the truth?”

"Elder Canglong, you are also an old man in Liuyue City. I am afraid that there is no one older than you in Liuyue City. I have always listened to your teachings since I was a child, and your wisdom and courage still amaze me. It's just that today, why can't you see the ending of Liuyue City? Do you think it's really that important whether Xie Yi is there or not?" Shen Ye put down his wine glass and looked straight at Mosang Long.

Mosong also raised his head, and looked at Shen Ye with his already cloudy eyes.His eyes were already blind, but at that moment, he seemed to see a male lion rushing towards him!

Mossaurus trembled all over, and fell on his back with a plop.

"Father!" "Master!"

The crowd immediately made a fuss, and Cang Mao quickly apologized and helped Canglong and hurried out.Unexpectedly, as soon as Canglong was helped into the sedan chair, Canglong opened his eyes suddenly, and asked repeatedly: "Where is Yufeng?"

"Father!" Cang Mao was very surprised.Although I am my father's child, I often can't keep up with my father's thinking, just like just now, why did I deliberately pretend to be sick and faint when my father had the upper hand? "Go back to father, Mr. Yu Feng is still at the banquet."

"Stupid!" Canglong said in a rare panic, "Hurry up and get him out! There are not many heirs to my Liuyue City!"

"This..." Although he didn't understand why his father was in such a hurry, Cang Mao decided to follow his father's instructions: "I will pick up Lord Yufeng right away."

Seeing Cang Mao's hurried back, Cang Long couldn't help closing his eyes.After all, in Liuyue City, no one could compare to Shen Ye, but the path Shen Ye chose was the most dangerous one.That road is like a small boat floating in the vast ocean, if you are not careful, you will be destroyed!

I hope Shennong blesses Liuyue City to survive this calamity safely.
