Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 380 Ambition is really big enough

"But haven't you taken people to the underground palace to investigate before?"

Previously in the Lianyue Mountains, the reason why Helian Mingye and the others were trapped in the cave at the bottom of the Jueying Cliff was because they failed to explore the underground palace of the Yunlan Kingdom.

That was the first time Ye Lingxi met Helian Mingye, and she remembered it very clearly.

"What does the emperor mean? Don't you give up, and still want you to take someone to the underground palace to find some longevity?"

Sensing that Ye Lingxi was getting a little angry, the look in Helian Mingye's eyes became softer and softer. He raised his hand to stroke her hair, let her lean on his shoulder, and calmed her emotions in a low voice, "Don't worry, The emperor really wants me to go again, but I have already clearly refused."

"The mechanism in the underground palace of the Yunlan Kingdom is very complicated, even worse than the relics of the Miracle Medicine Sect. Last time we were lucky enough to save our lives, and we lost a lot of people along the way."

Helian Mingye said: "Unless I am absolutely sure, I will not take any more risks."

Ye Lingxi could tell that Helian Mingye knew it well, and while secretly relieved, she couldn't help complaining, "I think it's really hard for you to be an emperor teacher, and your majesty is like guarding against thieves." The same guard against you, while expecting you to work for him regardless of life and death."

She curled her lips and said, "You don't owe him anything. Where did he get the confidence to think that you must obey him?"

"He just tosses you like this every day, isn't he afraid that you will really quit in a fit of anger?"

"Your suggestion is really good." Helian Mingye said with a smile, "Perhaps I should take leave with the emperor and have a good rest for a while."

"Speaking of which, I planned to tell you about the Shi family last night, but I came back late." Helian Mingye changed the subject calmly and asked, "Do you still want to listen?"

"Listen!" Ye Lingxi leaned over to look at the sky and said, "But you can't say it on the bed. At this time, Xiaobao and the others should wake up in a while."

Ye Lingxi struggled out of his arms and said, "You also go back to freshen up first, and you can go directly to the study on the second floor to find me in a while."

Half an hour later, Ye Lingxi personally brewed a pot of tea and brought it to the study together with refreshments.

Helian Mingye had been waiting in the study for a long time, and now he was standing in front of the altar where the spiritual tablets of the successive heads of the Miraculous Doctor Sect were placed, staring at the tablet placed on it.

Hearing the sound of Ye Lingxi opening the door, he pointed to Chi Liusheng's tablet and asked, "Why did you put Chi Liusheng's tablet on it?"

"They're all seniors of the Heavenly Medicine Sect." Ye Lingxi said without reddening or panting, "It's fine if you didn't know about him before, but now that you know, it's right to offer him more incense. "

Helian Mingye took a deep look at her, and had already noticed that there was a loophole in her words, but he didn't expose her, and went straight to the desk and sat down.

Ye Lingxi poured him a cup of tea, sat down behind the desk, spread out the map that Jin He sent yesterday and put it on the table, then looked up at Helian Mingye, "Tell me Well, what's going on with this Shi family?"

"You have also seen this map last night. Tianqiong Kingdom has a total of nineteen cities." Helian Mingye said, "This all refers to Qiongdu, and these nineteen cities belong to Tianqiong. All the layouts."

Helian Mingye raised his finger and pointed to the location of Qiongdu, "Qiondu City is here, and Wutijiang City is next to Qiongdu, which has a geographical advantage. Take a closer look at the scale of Wutijiang City."

"It is the main city with the largest territory among the other nineteen cities." Ye Lingxi said, "I saw it when I looked at the map last night, but these two points alone are not enough to make people dread it, right?"

"Of course these two points alone are not enough." Helian Mingye said, "But within the territory of Jiangcheng, here..."

Helian Mingye pointed the location of a mountain range in Jiangcheng on the map, "About three or forty years ago, an iron mine was discovered here, and the scale of the iron mine was larger than all the iron mines in other parts of Tianqiong Kingdom combined." It's all big."

"It's nothing to have the advantage of geographical location. The economic prosperity can be compared to that of Qiongdu City. This is nothing. But on the basis of the two, plus the inexhaustible iron ore resources, what does it mean, you understand ?"

A few simple words have already made Ye Lingxi understand the crux of the matter, "Weapon."

Ye Lingxi murmured: "Having money and resources means they have the ability to produce weapons. This is a place where Jiangcheng is close to Qiongdu. If they build weapons privately and hoard troops secretly, then for Qiongducheng It’s like planting a huge hidden danger around you.”

Helian Mingye nodded, and the smile on the corners of his lips deepened a bit. This is what he admired most about Ye Lingxi. He was smart and quick-witted, and he knew everything about it. He didn't need to waste his tongue to explain when talking to her.

"The emperor is in his prime, ambitious and resourceful, so he has been keeping a low profile for Jiangcheng these years, keeping a low profile and secretly accumulating power."

Helian Mingye said: "Now that Jiangcheng can show absolute obedience to the emperor, but you know the current situation of the emperor, if his body really can't support it, he will collapse like that..."

"When the imperial power changes, it is the best time to march to Qiongdu for Jiangcheng."

Ye Lingxi took it smoothly, but she couldn't help frowning after saying this, "Your analysis makes sense, but as you said, hasn't Jiang Cheng been keeping a low profile all these years?" How can you be sure that the Shi family in Jiangcheng is rebellious?"

"It depends on what the people of the Shi family have done." Helian Mingye said, "From Qiongdu's point of view, the Shi family just married a prostitute daughter, and the marriage is not considered high. The Chengwenbo Mansion."

"But if you look into it in detail, your second aunt was married in Cheng Wenbo's mansion, so Shi Luoxue can use your second aunt's relationship to win over Duke Zhongguo's mansion."

Ye Lingxi was stunned, "You mean, the Shi family is expanding their contacts in various main cities through marriage."

"That's right." Helian Mingye nodded and said, "Then Shi Luofeng, the lord of Jiangcheng City, has more than one sister, whether it's a sister of a direct relative or a sister of a cousin. I can't even count the heads."

Helian Mingye said: "Not only Qiongdu's side, but his other sisters also married to different main cities. Even if they didn't marry the city owner, they married the local powerful people."

"Of the nineteen cities, there are already ten cities connected with his Shi family connections. Do you think this is just a coincidence?"

Helian Mingye's fingertips slid across several main cities near Wutijiang City one by one, and reported once every time he passed a main city, "There is his cousin in this city who married the biggest horse dealer in the city."

"There is his cousin in this city, who is married to the biggest grain merchant in the city."

"He has a concubine sister in this city who married the young master of an escort agency."

"And here..."

After Helian Mingye reported all the relatives of the Shi family, Ye Lingxi suddenly found that almost half of Tianqiong Kingdom had people from his Shi family.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the map, and couldn't help taking a breath, "This Shi family is really ambitious."
