Chapter 28 Yingzhou Shuijia, between light and darkness
After another seven days, everyone returned to Mingdu.
This time, Xiao Yu returned to Mingdu as a general and came to meet them at the gate. They were all the important ministers led by Bai Wenxuan, Marquis Jingming and Li Chong. Unlike the situation last time Xiao Yu was ordered to return to the general, this time, not only the King of Ming greeted them at the gate of the palace, but also Princess Li was also there.
He took the concubine to the palace gate to greet him, but the Ming king gave Xiao Yu enough face.
Entering the palace, Li Linxiang and Sima Yuling were taken away by Concubine Li, and Xiao Yu and her ministers followed the King of Ming into the Mingde Palace.
When he arrived at the Mingde Palace, the King of Ming officially made Xiao Yu a general in front of the ministers, and then rewarded him with a large number of treasures, as if Xiao Yu had come back to receive the reward this time.
After the reward, there will naturally be a banquet.
After the banquet, all the ministers left, and Xiao Yu was left by the King of Ming.
Following the King of Ming one step by mistake, Xiao Yu walked forward and told King Ming about the attack of Gumu City by the four masters of Tianmen.
After Xiao Yu finished talking about the attack of the four masters of Tianmen on Gumu City, the King of Ming asked about Xiao Yu's trouble in Yunzhong City.
"I heard that Yang Shang used the dragon vein array to deal with you. How did you rush out of the dragon vein array?"
"Dragon vein array? What kind of dragon pulse array?"
Seeing Xiao Yu's doubt on his face, the King of Ming explained with a smile, "It's the star-watching hall master in Yunzhongcheng, who arranged it with a humane star map."
"I broke the array by relying on a flame obtained from the Ghost Sect."
"Ghost Sect? Do you have any dealings with the Ghost Sect?
Xiao Yu nodded and said respectfully, "The monks of the Ghost Sect I met are relatively easy to deal with, and I have some friendship with them."
While talking, the two of them entered the Yuxiu Palace.
It was dinner time. Although Xiao Yu and Ming Wang had just had a banquet, they still ate a little more with Concubine Li and Li Linxiang.
After dinner, the maid of honor who served tea went out. Concubine Li smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, Lin Xiang even gave birth to your son. Why don't you even want to call your mother?"
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, looked at Ming Wang with obscure eyes, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
After the wedding of Xiao Yu and Li Linxiang, the name of the King of Ming and Concubine Li should be Li Linxiang. In fact, in the three months after their wedding, Xiao Yu had also been calling the King of Ming his father and Princess Li his mother. Later, due to Li Linchang's imprisonment in the Bahuang Palace, Xiao Yu also changed her name to the King of Ming and Princess Li.
The change of name represents a kind of alienation. The King of Ming was aware of Xiao Yu's alienation from him. However, at that time, his resentment for Xiao Yu was full of resentment, and he did not let Xiao Yu change his name.
More than a year later, Xiao Yu made great contributions again. King Ming's resentment against him was not as good as before. In the joke, he asked Xiao Yu to call him as Li Linxiang as before.
Xiao Yu changed her name, and the atmosphere in the house was obviously more harmonious.
After laughing for a while, Ming Wang suddenly mentioned Lin Beiwen.
"It won't be long before General Lin will have a big wedding. You brought him out. You should prepare a big gift for him."
"Is he going to get married? With the girl of that family?"
"The daughter of the contemporary owner of the Yingzhou Shui family is named Shui Xinyi."
replied, and the king of Ming smiled and said, "You are much younger than General Lin, but when you ask him about his marriage, you are like his brother."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Actually, my son has always treated him as a brother. My son is lazy. Over the years, he has been helping him take care of things in the army.
"Your laziness has been heard of by your father."
He took a sentence with a smile, and the king of Ming talked about the Yingzhou Shui family.
The Yingzhou Shuijia is also a family inherited from ancient times, and its power is not small. However, because the Shuijia has not participated in various disputes in the world in the past seven or eight hundred years, now the Shuijia has only some prestige in Yingzhou.
Nevertheless, the King of Ming, Sima Li and Yang Shang did not forget that Yingzhou and the Shui family were comparable to the Song family in Hainan.
Since Tang Zhenwen, the general who originally guarded Yingzhou for Sima Li, left Yingzhou County with the most elite power under his command, Sima Li's lobbyists and Yang Shang's lobbyists have arrived at Yingzhou Shuijia. Later, not long after Xiang Yuanxing arrived in Fog City, he also sent lobbyists to Shuijia.
It may be because the Shui family has already had the intention of being a hero, or it may be because the lobbyist of the three kings let the Shui family understand that the Shui family has been noticed by the major forces of all parties over the years. The Shui family finally felt that they were involved in the world's disputes, and the object of the Shui family chose to rely on is naturally the Ming King, the most powerful among the three kings.
After making a decision, the Shui family first mastered the overall situation of Yingzhou County with its own strong power, and then Shui Wuchen, the owner of the Shui family, came to the fog city with Shui Xinyi.
The purpose of Shui Wuchen brought Shui Xinyi to Fog City is to marry Xiang Yuanxing. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Fog City, Shui Xinyi met Lin Beiwen first.
Lin Beiwen had a very good impression of Shui Xinyi, and Shui Xinyi fell in love with Lin Beiwen at first sight, so Shui Xinyi's marriage partner changed from Xiang Feng to Lin Beiwen.
After listening to the words of King Ming, Xiao Yu said with a strange smile, "I fell in love at first sight. Their affairs are really like the story in the book."
"Many of the stories in the book are written by real people."
Xiao Yu nodded with a smile and said in her heart, "Xiang Feng is not a broad-minded person. General Xiang will not pay too much attention to this matter. He is afraid that he will have some bad ideas."
She didn't say what she thought in her heart. At the request of the King of Ming, Xiao Yu released Xiao Yiyi from Shihai to let him meet Concubine Li, and left the palace with Li Linxiang.
Three days later, the dark eagle sent a secret letter from Lin Beiwen.
Because the Dark Eagle has always been under the responsibility of Lin Beiwen, he has not received any useful information from the Dark Eagle for a long time. He gradually forgets that he had bothered to form a team of spies.
Looking at the simple and thin middle-aged man in front of him, Xiao Yu nodded secretly and opened the secret letter sent by Lin Beiwen.
The secret letter sent by Lin Beiwen only explained his affairs with Shui Xinyi in detail.
After reading the secret letter, Xiao Yu smiled strangely and wrote a few congratulatory words to let the dark eagle go to Lin Beiwen.
"Xing Fengzhen regards Bai Wenxuan as an idol. He will do what Bai Wenxuan does. I don't know what General Xiang thinks? Unexpectedly, he let his only relative follow Bai Wenxuan's people.
With a strange smile, Xiao Yu casually destroyed the secret letter on the table.
Back to Mingdu, Xiao Yu did not take the initiative to inquire about the changes in the world, and rarely participated in various banquets in Mingdu. She lived a very peaceful life.
In the blink of an eye, seven months have passed.
In these seven months, although Xiao Yu often went to the underworld during the day, he still completed the refining of the body by the sun's true fire.
Fee that he felt that he had become one with the sky and sun around him. Xiao Yu's mind moved, and the garden where he was in instantly turned dark.
In the past, Xiao Yu could also absorb the qi of the sun at will, but now, by absorbing the qi of the sun to make an area dark, it is the magic power he has just obtained.
When Xiao Yu got the fire red lotus, he once thought that if the earth fire red lotus evolved with the true fire of the sun, he might get the magic power to control the qi of the sun and make an area dark.
Xiao Yu also tried to advance the earth fire red lotus with the spirit of Tianyang. However, when he found that the spiritual power needed to advance the earth fire red lotus was too huge, he gave up advancing the earth fire red lotus with the spirit of the sky and sun, and the idea of controlling a piece of light and darkness was also forgotten by him.
"By sucking the air of Tianyang into the body, an area can become dark. If the air of Tianyang is condensed together, it should make the area bright and people can't open their eyes."
Thinking about it, Xiao Yu was ready to condense the spirit of Tianyang that he could feel.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's crying woke him up from practice.
Hearing Xiao Lin's crying, Xiao Yu remembered that Li Linxiang was all in the garden.
At a fixed look, Xiao Yu saw Xiao Lin lying on the ground crying. Li Linxiang, Xiao Yiyi and Zhu Xin looked at themselves with a dull face.
She was scared out of a cold sweat. Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and controlled the spirit of the sun to make the garden slowly light up.
When the brightness of the garden was the same as that of other places, Xiao Yu walked to Li Linxiang, gently pinched Xiao Lin's little face, and smiled, "So timid!"
Xiao Lin still couldn't understand Xiao Yu's words, but he was so annoyed that he didn't want Xiao Yu to pinch his face, opened Xiao Yu's words, and lay in Li Linxiang's arms and cried.
"It's good. The sky suddenly turned dark. It's not to mention Lin'er. Even me, I also felt a little scared. Next time you practice some secret method, tell me in advance, and I'll bring them first.
Seeing Li Linxiang's strange face, Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly and said with deep hands, "Give me Lin'er, and I'll make him not cry soon."
"Is the secret method you just practiced helpful for you to coax your child?"
Li Linxiang made fun of Xiao Yu and sent Xiao Lin to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu didn't know how to coax the child. When Xiao Lin was crying, he didn't want to let him hug. As soon as he hugged Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin struggled hard.
"Don't cry!"
Seeing Xiao Yu open her mouth again, Li Linxiang smiled and went to Xiao Yu's arms to hold Xiao Lin.
At the moment when Li Linxiang's hand touched Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin suddenly stopped crying.
After a while, Li Linxiang found that Xiao Lin, who had just been crying, fell asleep in Xiao Yu's arms.
"You didn't click Lin'er's sleeping hole, did you?"
"You really think about it!"
The corners of her mouth pulled, and Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Lin Er feels that let me hold him, and he will be more promising in the future, so she is willing to let me hold him."
"If I hug him, won't he be promising?"
Xiao Yu nodded seriously. When Li Linxiang was angry, she smiled and said, "I have a way to help him lay the foundation of cultivation, but you can't help it."
When Xiao Yu discussed Xiao Lin's cultivation with Li Linxiang, Xiao Yu once said that if he wanted Xiao Lin to practice the skills he practiced, he must let his body adapt to the qi of Tianyang when practicing true qi. Xiao Yu also said that only when his control of Tianyang's Qi reaches his will can he use Tianyang's Qi to help Xiao Lin transform his body.
"Can you control the spirit of Tianyang as you like now?"
Xiao Yu nodded, a touch of pride flashed on her face, and said with a smile, "Am I a genius?"
Li Linxiang gave Xiao Yu a white look and replied, "It's genius enough, that's why Lin Er cried when practicing."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu said with a smile, "This is called crying first and then happy!"
