Sword breaks the sky

Chapter 15 Family Visitor
Ling Qi tidied up his clothes briefly, and when he came to the courtyard, he saw a pale old man. The old man walked up to Ling Qi and bowed, "Master Gaia, Lord Earl, please go to the hall."

"Okay, I'll wash my face and go." Gaia responded casually, and then he asked Tina to give the old housekeeper a cup of tea...

Gaia turned around and went to the washroom to wash her face. The old butler looked at Ling Qi's disappearing back with a look of helplessness. At this moment, the Stuart Mansion was also preparing to welcome a distinguished guest, but there was an event going on in the palace. Conspiracy about the Stuart family...

In the Imperial Palace...

At this time, the emperor Long Zhan was sitting high on the dragon chair, and a very gloomy man stood beside him.
"Military division, how is the operation against the Stuart family going?" A majestic voice asked:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since the last assassination failed, the Stuart family's security has become much stricter, and we have never had a chance to attack," the gloomy man said slowly:

"Then do they know that our people did it?" Long Zhan said with a trace of anger, obviously dissatisfied with the result of this operation...

"I probably don't know. Although one of the people who went there didn't come back, he is dead. They shouldn't get any information from him. Besides, the people in the killer organization I invited this time will not leave a trace information," the military division replied:
"Since this is the case, forget it, and be careful not to show any flaws in the future." Long Zhan's voice was a little gloomy, obviously not very satisfied with the military division's answer...

"Hehe, actually, your Majesty doesn't have to worry...Have your Majesty forgotten that in three years' time, there will be the 50-year alliance meeting of the eight major families of the empire? At that time, we can use other family members to destroy the Stuart family. To achieve our goal and weaken the strength of these families at the same time, this is a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone." The military adviser said with a smile:
"Then what should we do?" Long Zhan asked excitedly:

"Hey, you also know that the Stuart family has lost four times in a row. According to the tradition of the empire, if they lose five times in a row, the empire can deprive the Stuart family of hereditary earl status. If so, Stuart The family was removed from the nobles of the empire. In order to maintain the title of earl, this time the Stuart family will definitely send the strongest person, who has the blood of the dragon warrior, to fight. The talent is astonishing, and his strength is not too strong anymore. We can arrange for him in the ranking match, the Angus family who has a feud with the Stuart family. The people of the Angus family are also afraid of the appearance of the Stuart family. A dragon warrior, so they will definitely try to kill Yate by all means, and then we can reap the benefits of the fisherman... Hehehe" the military master said in a dark voice:
"Hehehe... The military strategist's plan is really clever, so don't touch the Stuart family for the time being, but it must be closely monitored, and there must be no mistakes..." The emperor said cautiously:

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty..." After speaking, the military division retreated...

Earl's Court
Ling Qi washed his face quickly, Ling Qi walked out of the room, smiled at an old man outside the room and said, "Old housekeeper, don't call me young master from now on, you have been in our family for decades, yes My elder, you call me young master, I can't bear it"

Looking at the immature face of the young man, the old man in green shirt nodded kindly, and the moment he turned around, a trace of imperceptible regret flashed through his cloudy old eyes, alas, what a sensible young master, but why is God so unfair? It's a pity that I can't practice fighting spirit...

Ling Qi didn't want people to know that he had started to cultivate, so he surrounded himself with his spiritual power, so that others would not feel his fighting spirit fluctuating, followed the housekeeper through the backyard, and finally entered the solemn reception hall

The hall is very spacious, and there are quite a few people in it. The two sitting at the top are Earl Helu and Gaia's uncle Albert. He is the most senior person in the clan, and his power is no less than that of the patriarch. How many
Under the left hands of the two, there are some elders in the family who have the right to speak and are not weak. Beside them, there are also some younger generations who have performed outstandingly in the family.

On the other side, sat a strange old man, presumably they were the honored guests that the butler just mentioned
Some puzzled eyes swept over a strange old man. He was wearing the standard Canglan Continental aristocratic costume. When he opened his eyes, Ling Qi suddenly felt an invisible pressure, which almost made him unable to straighten his waist. Ling Qi sighed inwardly, "Such an insignificant old man has such great strength!" , it is true that people cannot be judged by appearances, and sea water cannot be measured.”

Ling Qi was greatly surprised. His father was a strong sword king, but the strength of this old man may be higher than his father. People who can become sword kings are at least elders in the family. With that kind of strength, no matter where you get there, people will treat you differently. It's no wonder that Ling Qi feels strange

"Father, uncle!" Ling Qi stepped forward quickly, and bowed respectfully to the two superiors

"Hehe, Gaia, here we come, hurry up and salute your Uncle Alex." Seeing Gaia's arrival, Earl Helu stopped talking with the guest, nodded at him, and waved

Ling Qi came to the old man and bowed and said: "Nephew Gaia pays respects to Uncle."

"Okay, good nephew, don't be too polite." Alex looked at the young man standing in front of him, his handsome face and standard figure, could this be the uncultivable waste that was rumored in the imperial capital? Is it, but it doesn't look like Alex looked at Gaia carefully, and found that his surroundings were surrounded by a layer of things that made it hard to see clearly...

Earl Helu waved his hand and asked Gaia to find a place to sit...

Gaia randomly found a seat in a corner of the hall and sat down...

Alex smiled and said to Earl Helu: "There are two main reasons for my visit this time. The first is that I have already handed over the Anderson family to my son, and he will return to the countryside to retire in a few days. , This time I came to the Earl's Mansion to say goodbye to the He Lu brothers. The second is to let me know that the 50-year Eight-Family Alliance Conference has been finalized, and this time it will be held on the Duanyang Festival three years later...

Earl Helu was stunned when he heard the news... It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he asked suspiciously: "Isn't the meeting of the eight major families negotiated and decided this time? Why did we set the time without consulting us?"

"This time, His Majesty the Emperor personally intervened in this matter, and he will also be there to watch. Now that the empire is in troubled times, His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to this meeting of the alliance. His Majesty the Emperor publicly stated that the No. 1 will be named a general, he can recruit troops by himself, and at the same time he will be awarded the hereditary viscount title of the empire, and he will also be given a fief." Alex said softly:

"Hey, this has nothing to do with my Stuart family..." Earl Helu looked helpless...

Alex also had a look of helplessness. After all, the results of the alliance between the eight major families of the empire in the past century were not satisfactory, and the Stuart family was the last four times in a row. First, the Anderson family is second to last...

This time, your Anderson family is about to reverse the situation. I heard that Catherine was accepted as a disciple by the Grand Elder of the Frost Temple...

Alex sighed and said, "I hope so, otherwise the Anderson family is doomed to perish in my hands."

Alex and Earl Helu chatted for a while, and Alex stood up and said, "Since the matter is done, I should go back." After saying goodbye, Earl Helu walked outside...

Everyone saw off each other, and they returned to the hall only after Alex's back disappeared...
