Chapter 376 This night is destined to be lively
"is it?"
Xiao Wu's eyes showed suspicion, suspecting that Tang San was fooling her -
Dip pen?
Why does it feel like a small carving tool like a small awl or chisel?
[Could it be that Tang San has never thought of preparing a New Year's gift for me? ]
Just as she was thinking this, Xiao Wu suddenly found Zhou Qing and Tang San looking at her: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Didn't you prepare any gifts for us?"
【Oops! 】
Xiao Wu's head buzzed, and she immediately put her hand into her waist bag, saying, "Of course I'm ready!"
Then she took out two pink and white scarves from her waist bag.
Zhou Qing: "Didn't you buy this from the clothing store in Nottingham?"
Tang San: "I have seen it too, it is said to be one bronze soul coin."
"Who said that? I knitted it myself!" Xiao Wu tilted her head back to prevent the two men from seeing the blush on her face, but Zhou Qing seemed to see her nose "grow longer".
However, Zhou Qing and Tang San did not "care" about Xiao Wu, and accepted the scarf worth a copper soul coin...
This night——
Destined to be lively.
Tiandou City.
Inside the palace.
Emperor Xue Ye, his concubines and princes gathered in Qingxin Palace. They did not mention court affairs or state affairs, but only talked about family matters and enjoyed the happiness of family.
This was also the most uncomfortable and painful day for Xue Qinghe.
After all, she has never enjoyed family gatherings since she was born:
When my father was alive, he was busy all day long...
Grandpa practices in the worship hall all year round and does not participate in the secular world...
Mother···
What's even more outrageous is that she was almost never close to her, so in order to gain her mother's approval, she pretended to be Xue Qinghe since she was a child and planned Tiandou.
But every year-end is no less difficult for her than to overcome a tribulation. She needs to pretend to be even more genuine than usual, being a loving father and a filial son to Emperor Xue Ye, and being respectful to her brothers and sisters who have no blood relationship with her.
She hated this feeling so much!
However, she also longed to have a New Year's Eve dinner with her mother one day, instead of lying to Emperor Xue Ye and others.
After dinner, the concubines took their respective princes to watch the performance of the Royal Art Troupe, but Emperor Xue Ye asked Xue Qinghe about Luoxing City.
"Didn't the emperor say that we shouldn't talk about court affairs or state affairs on this day? Why are you talking about this again?" There was a hint of confusion in Xue Qinghe's words.
"Haha, I just learned that the prince seems to be investigating the matter of Luoxing City recently, and I'm a little curious." Emperor Xue Ye also learned about what happened in Luoxing City recently, and he was ready to discuss it with Xue Qinghe.
A down-and-out nobleman from Xingluo City served as the mayor of a small border town and colluded with the Fallen...
He actually doesn't care much about this matter.
The degenerates killed and ate people in extremely cruel ways; if we really talk about depravity, they are not even as good as the nobles of all ranks in the two empires.
However, in this incident, the people of the whole city, led by the leader of the local Spirit Hall, went to ask for justice from Darles, and in the end Darles was executed! Even afterwards, the top leaders of the Xingluo Empire did not hold the Spirit Hall accountable!
Therein lies a huge problem!
No matter how absurd the mistakes Dales made, he was still an official of the Star Luo Empire and had to be dealt with by the top leaders of the Star Luo Empire. How could it be the turn of the Spirit Hall to intervene?
Not to mention, the person who finally killed Darles seemed to be the president of a private adventure guild!
This could not help but make Emperor Xue Ye wonder whether the Xing Luo Empire had reached some kind of cooperation with the Spirit Hall - with the growth of the Spirit Hall in recent decades, especially after the current Pope took office, it has been recruiting civilian spirit masters on a large scale, as if to form an army.
Perhaps - the Spirit Hall wants to establish a country!
Upon hearing this speculation, Xue Qinghe was horrified - this expression was not artificial, but he did not expect that Emperor Xue Ye could actually guess what the Spirit Hall was thinking.
[Sure enough! Those who can become emperors are not fools! ]
Xue Qinghe was extremely alert to Emperor Xue Ye and decided to postpone the plan again to prevent him from noticing any clues.
"Why are you so surprised, my son?" asked Emperor Xue Ye.
"I just don't understand... why does the Spirit Hall want to establish a country? Logically speaking, their current form is the best." Xue Qinghe pretended to be surprised and uncertain, "Since they have won the hearts of civilian spirit masters and have prestige and reputation, why bother to establish a country?"
Seeing this, Emperor Xue Ye sighed and said, “Qinghe, you are just more conservative.
With prestige and fame, and the hearts of civilian soul masters, it is natural that he wants to go a step further and unify the continent.
We in Tiandou want it, the Dai guy in Xingluo wants it, and how could the Spirit Hall, which can rely on its own strength to extort money from the two empires to provide subsidies to civilian spirit masters, not want it?
Using our generosity to help them get rid of the shackles of the Spirit Hall is a good plan that kills two birds with one stone."
"Then how should we deal with it?" Xue Qinghe asked anxiously.
"Wait."
Emperor Xue Ye uttered a word.
"···Father, why?" Xue Qinghe really didn't understand.
"Hey, Qinghe, you need to grow up quickly."
Emperor Xue Ye sighed, coughed violently, and then explained, "It's nothing for Wuhun Hall to establish a country, as long as they don't start a war without any reason. After all, this continent will only change from two empires to three empires at most. Maybe with three empires, our Tiandou can be more stable."
"And now, regarding the Falling Star City incident, the attitude of the Xingluo Empire's top brass is a little too intriguing. I'm afraid they have reached some kind of cooperation with the Spirit Hall and will jointly attack our Tiandou in the future!"
Xue Qinghe was shocked: "How could it be?"
This was not a pretense, but she really felt that this guess was impossible.
The Spirit Hall couldn't even infiltrate the top leaders of the Xing Luo Empire, so how could it possibly cooperate with the Xing Luo Empire? Her mother... that woman always liked to control everything.
"Ah! If the interests are sufficient, everything is possible."
Emperor Xue Ye coughed and said, "So, Qinghe, you also need to strengthen the power of the empire and make friends with Yu Tianheng. This is a good step. Next, you need to talk more with Ning Fengzhi and try to make the entire Qibao Liuli Sect lean towards our Tiandou, not just Ning Fengzhi alone."
"That Ning Fengzhi is an old fox. He only said that he personally accepted you as a student, but the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect still remained neutral..."
"Haha! How can such a good thing happen in the world? But we can't force Tiandou, so, Qinghe, you have to get closer to that old fox."
Xue Qinghe agreed, and at this moment he truly realized how much he was inferior to Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi in analyzing the situation on the continent...
Star Luo Empire.
Star Luo City.
Dai Tianran had dinner with his three sons, but the atmosphere was much more serious than that of the Tiandou royal family. Apart from the gurgling sound of drinking and the smacking sound of chewing food, there was almost no other sound.
"Mu Bai, what level have you reached?" Dai Tianran suddenly asked.
"Level 20." Dai Mubai immediately stopped eating and answered respectfully.
"Nine years old, level 20, not bad."
Dai Tianran was quite satisfied with Dai Mubai's progress. "Three years later, when you are twelve years old, your soul power should be able to reach level twenty-seven or twenty-eight."
Dai Mubai lowered his head, thinking about what kind of strength Davis would be able to achieve in three years, and how big the gap between him and him would be...
