That's what villains are like

Chapter 169 Do you have a crush on him?If you marry in the past, you will be the main palace, plotting for a family of saints

"Young Master Jiang came to visit Qing'er in person, and he has not yet greeted him far away, but he still hopes to forgive his sin."

An elder from the Tantai family led the way, bowing his hands and apologizing.

"Elder is welcome."

"Miss Tantai and I hit it off right away, and we had a very happy chat. It is thanks to her that she took me around Feixian Island for a few days. I was very worried when I heard that she was attacked and killed last night. I don't know why. How is Miss Tai injured now?" Jiang Lan asked.

While speaking, he ordered the subordinates behind him to deliver the holy medicine for healing.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your concern. Qing'er's injury has been stabilized. Elder Tantaixu from the Elder Pavilion has rushed back to see it personally..." The elder replied.

Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Jiang Lan was so concerned and worried about Tantai Qing, not seeming to be fake, many members of the Tantai family moved their eyes slightly.

Especially some young clansmen couldn't help but think of something.

In the past few days, Tan Taiqing and Jiang Lan have gotten quite close, many monks and creatures have seen them haunting some shops and restaurants, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, walking side by side, like a pair of lovers.

Jiang Lan is the son of Xiangguo's mansion, but he also has another identity, that is, Daxia Fengjun, the husband of the current Daxia Empress.

He walked with Tantai Qing so openly, could it be that he really didn't care about his reputation?Are you afraid that these news will reach Emperor Xia's ears?

Or, as the outside world guessed, the current Emperor Xia is just a puppet at the mercy of the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Soon, in the courtyard, many Tantai family members headed by Tantai Xu followed.

He Lianxiang and the Gongsun family fell behind.

Although Jiang Lan is only a young junior, after all, he represents the Xiangguo Mansion behind him, and he must give enough face on the surface.

It's just that people from the Helian family and the Gongsun family don't have such good faces as those from the Tantai family.

At that moment, He Lianxiang cupped his hands, without saying anything, and walked out with his clansman, his face indifferent.

The old woman from the Gongsun family said, "Brother Tantai Xu, I have to go back to the family to report this matter first, and I will definitely cooperate with the Tantai family to find out the real culprit who attacked and killed Qing'er."

"I won't continue to accompany you."

Neither He Lianxiang nor the old woman paid much attention when passing by Jiang Lan's side.

After all, in the family of saints behind them, they are also big figures in power. Even when facing Jiang Lan's father, Jiang Lintian, they still have this attitude. When they became famous in the world, Jiang Lintian might not have been born yet.

Jiang Lan is just a kid who is not even a fraction of their age.

Looking at this scene, Tantai Xu's face was gloomy, with hidden anger, but he didn't lose his temper.

"I hope Mr. Jiang will forgive me."

"People from the Helian family and the Gongsun family are extremely resistant to the news that has spread on Feixian Island recently, so their attitudes are like this..." An elder from the Tantai family hurriedly explained upon seeing this.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "The younger generation can understand that the sage family has existed for more than ten thousand years. When the world was in chaos, it was born to assist the emperor and establish the order of the government. Naturally, the sage family is not worthy of too much attention."

Although he said this, the faces of the Tantai family members here were a little unnatural, and they could hear some dissatisfaction.

The Tantai family is also a family of sages, but even the Tantai family can't say that they don't take Xiangguo's mansion seriously.

At this time, Tan Taixu said, "The Gongsun family and the Helian family don't think about making progress, they stand still and will be abandoned by the times sooner or later."

"Mr. Jiang Lan has such strength at such a young age. It can be said that he is a gift from heaven. He is a dragon and a phoenix among men. It must not be a problem to catch up with Li Sheng in the future."

"Senior is over-reputed, junior with this level of cultivation, can't get on the stage, grandpa's cultivation is overwhelming the world, unpredictable, how can I compare with his old man?" Jiang Lan waved his hands and smiled.

The elders and clan members of the Tantai family heard something from it. As a powerful Tantai Xu, he is one of the six elders in the elders' pavilion. He is in charge of the power in the clan. His opinion must also be heard.

But he seemed to intend to get close to Jiang Lan?

To be precise, it was because of that Li Sheng.

Tan Taixu said solemnly, "I was overseas many years ago, and I met Li Sheng by accident, and listened to the holy words at close range, and benefited a lot. Mr. Jiang Lan is Li Sheng's grandson, who traveled thousands of miles to Feixian Island The old man has received kindness from Li Sheng, out of emotion and reason, he should be greeted in person, but during the period at the Elder Pavilion, there are many things to do, and he can't get away from him."

"Now that Qing'er is injured, it's really ashamed to bother Mr. Jiang Lan to visit him in person."

"Senior's joking, it offends this junior, how can I rely on grandpa's reputation everywhere when I'm away from home." Jiang Lan said with a smile.

The members of the Tantai family and the four princes couldn't help but wonder inwardly when they saw that the two talked and laughed freely, without being affected by their seniority at all.

After all, he is one of the best young dignitaries in the world, but he is so calm in the face of a powerful man.

The elders of the Tantai family, in front of a person in power like Tantai Xu, did not dare to be so casual.

And they can also see that Tan Taixu's attitude towards Jiang Lan is not like treating a junior, but like talking about friends of the same generation.

Many members of the Tantai family became active in their minds.

Afterwards, Jiang Lan asked about the details of Tantaiqing's attack and killing.

Tantai Xu's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not hide it. In front of the four princes, he told the story of what the Tantai family had learned.

"The former sixth son of the Helian family, Helianwen, is still alive?"

They were extremely surprised and shocked.

Back then, He Lianwen stole the sacred objects of the Elder Pavilion and jumped off the cliff to his death, but it was well known in Feixian Island.

Everyone thought he was bound to die, so how could the human race survive in the depths of the demonic abyss full of demonic energy?

"Not only did he not die, but he also deceived her away with the excuse of meeting Qing'er, attacked her and seriously injured her..." Several elders of the Tantai family shook their heads.

At this time, Tantai Qing, who was supported by the servant girl, also walked out of the wing room. She was wearing a light yellow dress, with green snails in her hair, and a little powder on her jade face. She looked much better.

"I just said why Qing'er hasn't come out for so long, it turns out that she still needs to dress up..."

"Why, worrying about that sickly appearance, did Mr. Jiang Lan see it?" Tantai Xu joked with a smile.

"grandfather……"

Tantai Qing seemed to be a little ashamed because of his words, a faint blush appeared on his face, and then he bowed to Jiang Lan and said, "Qing'er has seen Young Master Jiang."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern. Qing'er's injury has healed a lot now."

"Then He Lianwen can really do it. Don't worry, Miss Tantai, I will order someone to help you find his traces and find him." Jiang Lan sighed slightly.

"It was because Qing'er was too careless and trusted him that she was suddenly attacked and killed by him."

"I thought he..."

Tantai Qingqing's eyes were as bright as water, and his eyes seemed to be able to speak, but at this point, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, and fell silent.

"Hmph, up until now, the Helian family is still hiding things and refuses to hand over Helianwen's life lamp. I think the old man Helianxiang rushed here just to make sure that the letter was written in Helianwen's handwriting. How can he fail to recognize what cultivation level he has?" An elder of the Tantai family was very resentful.

The rest of the members of the Tantai family were also filled with righteous indignation.

"If the Helian family insists on shielding Helianwen, it will be extremely difficult to ascertain his identity..." Jiang Lan also shook her head lightly.

Tantai Xu said coldly, "No matter what, the Helian family will definitely give Qing'er an explanation, this matter cannot be left alone."

"I will put pressure on the Elder Pavilion. Even if the Helian family doesn't want to, they have to hand over Helianwen's life lamp and announce it to the world..."

After all, he gave the order in front of Jiang Lan, and he gave the order.

All the members of the Tantai family also withdrew.

Jiang Lan, on the other hand, was persuaded by the elders of the Tantai family to stay, and decided to leave after lunch.

His visit to Tantai Qing was only secondary, but his main purpose was to get in touch with Tantai Xu, a powerful figure in the Elder Pavilion.

In the original plot, Tantai Xu was ruthless and mercenary, and he did not give in much compared to Tantai Qing.

It was with his help that He Lianwen succeeded in stealing the sacred object of the Elder Pavilion, the Sansheng Refining Heart Pill.

Jiang Lan contacted him because he wanted to confirm his attitude towards himself and the other two great families of saints.

Now it seems that it is just as he expected.

Tan Taixu's public display of affection is the most important signal in Jiang Lan's view, and it will also be the most critical move in his next move.

As one of the six elders in the Elder's Pavilion, Tantai Xu must have known the prophecies left by the ancient Three Saints, and understood that the Demon Abyss cannot be sealed, and that the formation patterns left in it will shatter sooner or later, and the demon disaster will come again. Sooner or later.

The only way for the Tantai family to survive the catastrophe is to withdraw in advance.

However, relying on the current strength of the Tantai family, if they want to move away from the small world where the entire clan is located, they will inevitably waste all the savings they have accumulated over the past ten thousand years.

During the period, during the migration and evacuation, the enemy may be attacked and ambushed, and the foundation for thousands of years will collapse and dissipate, and be destroyed in one fell swoop.

If the small world wants to jump in the turbulent flow of space, it must need a large amount of mana as support. Without a saint in charge, the small world is almost difficult to be motivated.

Tan Taixu mentioned his grandfather Li Ran in front of him again and again today, and he must be planning for the next plan.

If you want to evacuate safely, the safest way is naturally to have a saint in the world to protect and guide you.

Tan Taixu then wanted to connect with his grandfather Li Ran through Jiang Lan.

"Qing'er, you and Jiang Lan have gotten very close recently, how is your relationship?"

In the courtyard, after everyone retreated, Tantai Xu did not leave.

After dismissing many maid servants, he raised his hands behind his back and asked about Tantai Qing.

"What does grandfather mean by these words?" Tantai asked as if he didn't understand, with his head hanging down.

"What do you think of Jiang Lan? I want to hear what you really think." Tantai Xu changed the question.

"Back to grandfather, Jiang Lan does not match the image of the rumored second-generation patriarch. He is gentle and gentle in conversation, decent in manner, extensive in knowledge, and profound in cultivation. If he really fights, Qing'er may not be able to win against him." Dan Dan Tai Qing seemed to think about it for a while, and then answered honestly.

Tan Taixu smiled and said, "Qing'er, it's rare for you to have such a high opinion of a man, but he is indeed not simple. I have observed his cultivation, and I still have a feeling that I can't see through it..."

"Besides, seeing that he came to visit in person today, you are quite concerned about Qing'er."

Tantai fell silent.

"Do you have a crush on him?" Tantai Xu asked suddenly.

Tantai Qing was startled, then shook his head and said, "Qing'er only wants to pursue the Dao in this life, and has no love for men and women in her heart."

Tantai Xu sighed and said, "That's really a pity."

Tan Taiqing raised his eyes and looked at him with some puzzlement.

Tantai Xu said, "Failing to kill Helianwen is a trivial matter. Before long, the Helian family will cease to exist. A mere Helianwen will not be able to make any waves at all."

"The most important thing now is the future foundation of the family. I thought about it carefully, and today I saw that Jiang Lan's concern for you does not seem to be fake, so for the sake of the family, I can only let you sacrifice a little."

Tantai Qing was taken aback, feeling that these words were a bit inexplicable.

All right, why did it involve sacrificing himself?
"What does grandfather mean by that?" She frowned.

Tan Taixu turned to look at her, and said, "The family may need to marry the Xiangguo Mansion."

Tantai Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly thought of something.

"Grandfather, I want to become a female saint in the future, carry the glory of the family, and lead the family to another peak. Is it possible that you plan to marry me to the Xiangguo Mansion? Besides, Jiang Lan has already married the Great Xia Empress. Could it be possible that I Used to be a concubine?" Her eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

"Empress Daxia is just a puppet. Don't worry about her. If you marry, you will be the main palace. After the change of Moyuan, the seal will collapse within half a year at the latest, and three years at the latest. If it explodes, there will be no Feixian Island left, let alone the three great aristocratic families."

"If there were a hundred years, it would be enough for you to grow, but now there is no time. Before the catastrophe breaks out, you must do everything possible to get the family to evacuate. You are very smart, and you know that in today's world, there is only one who can help the family." .” Tantai Xu sighed, feeling a little helpless.

If it weren't for having no choice, how could the Tantai family abandon a Tianjiao with the qualifications of a female saint?
Over the years, only they knew in their hearts how much effort and resources they had poured into Tan Taiqing.

It is actually possible to abandon the small world where the tribe is located and evacuate, but without the support of the small world.

Can a family of saints still be called a family of saints?How is it different from that ordinary powerful family?
Tantai Qing gritted her teeth tightly, she was not stupid, when Tantai Xu said that the evil disaster would break out in three years at the latest, she had already understood the consequences.

There was no time left, no time for her to grow.

In three years, want her to become a saint?This is simply nonsense.

Not to mention that there may be other mutations during the period, leading to the outbreak of the evil disaster in advance.

"Aside from marriage, is there no other way? As long as there are enough benefits, you can definitely ask the Supreme One Sect to help."

"Furthermore, grandfather, how can you guarantee that after the marriage between the Tantai family and the Xiangguo Mansion, it will not be swallowed up by it?" Tantai Qing was still unwilling to accept this result.

"As long as Qing'er becomes a saint in the future, such a situation will not happen, so you are the most suitable candidate." Tantai Xu looked at her with an unquestionable tone.

Tantai Qing's eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, and said, "That's just the best situation, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? How can the Xiangguo Mansion make me a saint?"

"So there's Jiang Lan? Don't you think he really cares about you? Then Helian Wen is known as the hope of the Helian family's future, but isn't it being played by you in the applause? Why can't Jiang Lan?" Dan Dan Tai Xu said.

Tantai Qing was suddenly at a loss for words, her jade hands clenched tightly, she was playing with Jiang Lan?At that time, who will be played by whom is still unknown.

She felt that her grandfather had far underestimated Jiang Lan's strength and means.

It's just that there are some things that can't be said much, but can only be kept deep in her heart, just like her secrets and ambitions.

"Let's leave this matter as it is. The family has not decided yet, but as long as I speak, the matter will be settled. You can also think of a way yourself." Tantai Xu waved his hand and left the courtyard.

"I don't want to be anyone's tool man, not even a family."

Tan Taiqing looked at Tan Tai Xu's leaving back, his eyes were glistening with coldness, and his palms were clenched tightly.

In the land of Tantai Aristocratic Family, an undercurrent was surging.

In the outside world, the news that He Lianwen, the former sixth son of the Helian family, attacked and killed Tantai Qing soon spread in Feixian Island, causing a great commotion.

With the Tantai family's deliberate fueling of the flames, this matter spread throughout the streets and alleys in just half a day.

Many people didn't know who He Lianwen was, but soon after the local residents of Feixian Island explained, they knew the identity of this person, and they were shocked.

The sixth son of the Helian family, a generation of outstanding people, is also Tantai Qing's fiancé.

It's a pity that because of stealing the sacred objects of the Elder's Pavilion, after the matter was revealed, he fled to the area of ​​the Demon Abyss and jumped down in one fell swoop.

This matter had become a disgrace to the Helian family, secretly ridiculed by many people.

Such a character appeared in a dignified family of saints, it really disgraces the family of saints.

At the beginning, the Helian family spent a lot of manpower to quell this matter, until now, it has become a taboo topic.

But who knew, after so many years, He Lianwen, who was supposed to die, reappeared and even attacked Tantai Qing, causing him to be seriously injured...

According to the news from the Tantai family, He Lianwen even colluded with the demons and used the magic skills of the demons.

The sensation caused by this news can be described as explosive.

One stone shocked a thousand waves.

The Helian family had no choice but to stand up to refute the rumors, bluntly saying that this matter was wrong, Helianwen had already died, and someone else attacked Tantaiqing, it was probably the remnant of the demon clan in disguise, not Helianwen himself.

Another sage family, the Gongsun family also stood up and explained, saying that this matter still needs to be investigated, and they should not speak freely, so as not to fall into the tricks of the demons and destroy the original relationship between the three great families.

More people still tend to think that Tantai Qing was attacked and killed by someone pretending to be He Lianwen. After all, with He Lianwen's strength back then, he was still seriously injured and would definitely die if he jumped off the Demon Abyss.

All of a sudden, the situation on Feixian Island was treacherous, and various speculations appeared.

Before Jiang Lan was attacked and killed by barbarians on the long street, not long after that, people from the Demon Race also appeared, probably hiding in the dark.

Many monks who came to Feixian Island to search for resources also took cargo ships and left this place of right and wrong.

In many areas of Zhongtian Prefecture, many eyeliners of immortal sects and orthodoxy passed the news back, which also caused a great commotion.

Great Xia Imperial Capital, Jingyang City, inside Chengming Hall.

Emperor Xia was handling the memorial, while listening to Chunlan's report beside him, his eyebrows were frowning.

"Is Feixian Island already in this chaos?"

Chunlan respectfully said, "Originally it wasn't like this, but the three great sage families are already in harmony with each other, and the harmony they once had was long gone. It is not uncommon for families to fight openly and secretly."

"Because the Tantai family was closer to Xiangguo's mansion this time, they were excluded by the other two great sage families. Tantai is located on Feixian Island and has a good reputation. There are countless suitors. Many people think that her future is inevitable." It is normal for the Tantai family to be furious after being attacked this time after becoming a female saint..."

Emperor Xia threw the memorial on the desk, and said lightly, "A beauty is a disaster, that's it. Jiang Lan and her are also very close."

Chunlan paid attention to Emperor Xia's expression, but she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, so she could only consider her words and said in a low voice, "For the sake of Mo Yuan, Feng Jun will inevitably have contact with people, and Tantai Qing is responsible for it." The Moyuan patrol, so..."

The implication is that Jiang Lan has something to do and has no other choice.

Emperor Xia waved his hand a little irritably, interrupted her, and said, "I understand, I don't need you to explain for Jiang Lan, and besides, who does he get close to, why would I care?"

A wry smile emerged from the corner of Chunlan's mouth, and she shook her head slightly.

"By the way, go and find a copy of that portrait of Tantai Qing. I want to see what she looks like and whether she deserves such a reputation."

Emperor Xia rested his elbows on the desk, rested his smooth and fair chin on the palm of his hand, looked outside the hall for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chunlan seemed to smile, then bowed her head and stepped back respectfully.

Emperor Xia looked quietly outside the hall.

The situation on Feixian Island is chaotic, so why not the situation in Great Xia now?

That day Tianmeng was behind some conspiracy and tricks, and she sent Jiantiansi and Zhenxiansi to solve it. Not long after another land boundary, all kinds of rumors and rumors emerged, such as the wrath of the heavens, the severe drought for several years, and the lack of grains. Received a mess of rumors.

She was also really grossed out.

This feeling is like a buzzing fly that keeps flying in front of my eyes, but I still can't kill it.

In addition, the news of the Seven Stars descending into the world had spread throughout Zhongtian Prefecture at some point in time.

In order to find the source of the Seven Stars, some holy land orthodoxy in the remaining states sent elders and disciples here, who refused to obey discipline and restraint.

In many places in Daxia, there was a lot of commotion.

Although Emperor Xia is also sending people to secretly investigate and find the source of the seven stars, but there has been no clues, like a headless chicken.

She was also thinking that if Jiang Lan was by his side, maybe he would have a way and a clue, and she wouldn't have to be so tired.

It's not long since he left the emperor, but Emperor Xia always felt that the time had passed very long, and he became somewhat boring for no reason.

After getting used to the life with him and being used to relying on him, now a person becomes at a loss instead.

Obviously, at the beginning, she carried everything by herself.

Emperor Xia took out a crystal clear and moist jade talisman from his bosom, looking at the jade talisman of communication, she hesitated and hesitated, and finally took it back.

The situation in Feixian Island is not optimistic now, so don't bother him...

But, hasn't he thought about asking himself about the current situation of Daxia?Or ask yourself?
Emperor Xia became inexplicably angry.

Xiangguo Mansion, in the study, Xiangguo Jiang Lintian is holding a jade slip in his hand.

"Lan'er's ambition is bigger than I imagined, but if his plan succeeds, the benefits will be absolute."

"The heritage of the sage's family over ten thousand years is not the most important thing, the most important thing is a small world."

"With my father's current strength, it is not difficult to open up another small world. Although time is wasted, the trouble is in operation and development. A small world that has been in operation for thousands of years has more potential than the newly opened small world. ..."

"But this move is also extremely risky, and I dare not act rashly."

This jade slip contains some plans and plans of Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan's current strength is absolutely beyond what Jiang Lan can do if he wants to conspire with a family of saints, so he must find a way to get his father's assistance.

In addition, Jiang Lintian must also inform Li Ran of this matter to let him know.

Soon, he took the jade slips, without hesitation, took out the communication jade talisman, and told his wife Li Qingshu about it, and then she would tell his father Li Ran.

The matter is of great importance, and there is no room for carelessness.
