Chapter 996: Venerable Position

'I'm afraid it has something to do with the state boundaries of that year....."

When Li Xieming achieved the Early Zifu that year, those who came to the lake were Zhang Gui and Wang Long. The most noble Purple Gold Book in their hands had records, which was 【Messenger of the Five Directions of the Two States of Jiao and Yang】.

These Zhang Gui and Wang Long must be Yang Pan's people.

There were doubts about this matter early on, and then it gradually became clear. After all, when Li Xieming achieved it, Mount Qingchi had already quickly slid toward decline, and the Yang family knew that the sun lineage would inevitably decline. Once the Li family was unscrupulous, it was very likely to damage the interests of the Yang family.

And Yang Pan let these two messengers of the five directions come, revealing that the Yang family had the news of the Early Zifu. One was to stabilize the relationship between the two families, and the other was to prevent possible conflicts in the future.

In addition to this matter, the Li family has collected a lot of news in Jiangnan for a hundred years, and there is another name tied to this Yang Pan Yang Yang Jinxin.

Zhejiang South Department.

In the rumors of the small road, Yang Pan is the master of the Zhejiang South Department, and also manages the strange phenomena and gold nature of the many Purple Mansions who died in Jiangnan. To use the words in the rumors, it is 'Master of 【Gold Affairs】 of Supernatural Powers'.

I don't know what the status of the department-level force is in the Underworld, and what components it plays, but one thing is clear, this must be a position with real power, and Jiangnan is just someone else's thing.

In any case, the Yang family in front of them is definitely not a simple force, let alone 【weak force】.

"Your noble family is a dignified imperial descendant, the first class in Jiangnan, and cannot be matched by patting horses on the left and right. Now there is the matter of seeking truth... Fellow Daoist is too modest..."

Yang Yang Ruiyi laughed and said solemnly:

"Imperial descendant is an overpraise, and there are not many families who can call themselves imperial descendants in front of Fellow Daoist."

These are sincere words. No matter what Li Li Zhouwei's current situation is, as long as he is given time, he will inevitably be the first-class supernatural power in the world, with White Qilin blood flowing in his body. Unless Emperor Zhao Emperor Zhaowu is resurrected, and the Zhao Emperor of the father's family in the Zhao Palace receives the blessing, it is possible to call himself an imperial descendant in front of Li Li Zhouwei.

After the two finished holding, the old man who was sitting quietly by the window had disappeared. Whether it was Yang Yang Ruiyi or Li Li Zhouwei, their hearts were deeply relieved, and the tense and stiff atmosphere immediately eased.

Li Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows and took the opportunity to say thoughtfully:

"I heard.. the adult behind Fellow Daoist is a figure of the 【Zhejiang South Department】? I don't know what kind of immortal department it is."

Yang Yang Ruiyi's mind was obviously always on the old man. Don't look at his Yang Yang Ruiyi occupying the home court, he was more nervous than Li Li Zhouwei, fearing that he would say the wrong thing. At this moment, the old man left, and he seemed to come alive. His tone was also relaxed, leaning back on the main seat, and smiled:

"My family's adult's official position is not here, but in the hall. The official positions in the hall often have officials but no errands. He concurrently leads this department as an errand. People in the world have a name for him."

He raised his chin and said casually:

"After all, the hall is in the Underworld Mysterious Exile, and those underworld titles are usually not called."

Li Li Zhouwei could be said to have a deep memory of the terrifying appearance of the old man's true body, but he didn't dare to recall it specifically, just nodded to indicate, but Yang Yang Ruiyi didn't say much, perfunctorily:

"【Zhejiang South Department】 has a long history. It was responsible for this area in those days. Today, the discipline is abandoned, the departments are not obvious, and many things have been simplified and attached to the 【Zhejiang South Department】. That 【North River Department】 is good, and 【Ridge Department】 is also good, and the power is not as good as 【Zhejiang South Department】."

Li Li Zhouwei saw that he was insincere and had concerns, and said casually:

"It is indeed a big figure in the Underworld!"

Yang Yang Ruiyi smiled and immediately changed the subject:

"White Lin gave face to come here once, and I won't say polite words. The adults value Fellow Daoist very much, saying that I am the first important assistant of the town country, and your noble family is advancing and retreating, quite liked... Today, the most important thing is to discuss this matter."

Li Li Zhouwei looked at him quietly, Yang Yang Ruiyi sighed:

"If Fellow Daoist looks at the face of the Underworld and is willing to add strength to my dynasty.. The Yang family has its own compensation!"

Li Li Zhouwei sipped a tea, and he already had the answer in his heart, and asked:

"Call yourself a minister?"

Yang Yang Ruiyi was silent for a while.

This is not a simple matter. For the Chen family or the neighboring Gu family, bowing to the Yang family is inevitable, and there is no qualification to discuss it here. The Li family is not much better. The compensation mentioned by Yang Yang Ruiyi is on Li Li Zhouwei.

Li Li Zhouwei practices Mingyang, which is not a low-level lineage. Ordinary people are better, but Li Li Zhouwei, as a person loved by Mingyang, has an extraordinary fate. Since his birth, the Li family has not called his name, calling him the Crown Prince, allowing him not to worship or kneel, which is to fulfill his fate.

Now he has the intention of impacting the fruit position. Once he serves people with the courtesy of a minister, it seems that there is nothing wrong, but it will inevitably affect his impact on the fruit position!

'Li Li Zhouwei is the son of Mingyang after all. Even if he endures humiliation when he is in a low position, there must be ambition in his chest. Taking advantage of the situation of this heaven and earth, he must impact the fruit position.'

Blocking people's lineage is often a blood feud that is incompatible with fire and water, and hindering others from seeking gold and putting stumbling blocks for others to seek fruit positions is also extremely hateful. How can Yang Yang Ruiyi not be cautious?

'What's more, my family still wants to benefit from this.'

Yang Zhuo's side is the same truth. Li Li Zhouwei's identity and fate are special. If he bows to him, it will not only be of great benefit to the new dynasty established by the Yang family, but also raise Yang Zhuo's fate!

It is precisely because Yang Yang Ruiyi knows these concerns that he observes his face. Li Li Zhouwei said nothing, his golden eyes staring at him, as if waiting for his next words.

Yang Yang Ruiyi looked at him briefly, didn't wait much, smiled, and explained:

"White Lin doesn't have to worry. We will support your impact on the position of the True Person with all our strength. This matter is not that serious... We must sort out the influence between them to the lowest."

"After all... the governance of the new dynasty is not harsh. The Chen family and the neighboring Gu family are both internal vassal states, holding king titles, leaving various places in the county as fiefs. Although they have to listen to the dispatch, the fiefs can be left for self-governance, and the Li family... is even more relaxed."

He smiled:

"Must try our best to fulfill the position, so that White Lin can be satisfied!"

Li Li Zhouwei was not surprised, or rather, neither the Yang family nor the Li family was surprised. There was no room for discussion on this matter. The three generations of Li family members, Li Li Xizhi, Li Li Zhouluo, and Li Li Jiangliang, were involved in the game, which was a hint.

The general situation of the Yang family must have a part of the Li family. The vague protection and help to the predecessors in those days were the idle pieces of the Yang family, but they were all marked with a price. No matter whether it was equivalent or not, whether the Li family was willing or not, it was time to cash it out.

And his words are clear. From another standpoint, the Underworld also holds a similar position to Mount Luoxia on Li Li Qianyuan's side—the dead, or at least half-dead Li Li Qianyuan is what the Underworld wants to see, so there is the matter of 'full support'.

'Therefore, Mount Luoxia never cares. The Li family is in the Underworld territory after all. Even if Mount Luoxia doesn't take action, the Underworld will naturally stare at it.. … and it's not in a hurry to break my fate.. instead, it has a lot of intention to fulfill.'

'The attitude of the first-class force in the world, this last corner, has also been filled. This Mingyang Lord Father.. let Mount Luoxia, Underworld work together, Dragon clan half-pushed and half-accepted..'

In those days, Qingyu sent Li Li Zhouwei to the mountain, personally expounded the matter of Wei Li, and once said that Li Li Qianyuan had an irreconcilable conflict with 50% of the lineage... Looking at it today, 50% is simply too conservative! I am afraid that the rest are not irreconcilable, but they can't see him.

Li Li Zhouwei's golden eyes looked at him quietly and said softly:

"The Li family has received the kindness of the seniors of the Heavenly Office, and should naturally do their best."

Yang Yang Ruiyi smiled slightly and replied:

"There is one more thing.. to discuss the matter of 【Great Good Golden Lotus】."

"【Great Good Golden Lotus】..."

Li Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Has Lord Yang already fought back to Quanyu? Is there any reason that cannot be solved?"

A trace of helplessness swept across Yang Yang Ruiyi's face, and he replied:

"【Great Good Golden Lotus】 itself is not a troublesome thing. The trouble is the cultivators and commoners affected by 【Great Good Golden Lotus】. The number is hard to count, spread all over Li Xia Quanyu. Once 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 is broken, I am afraid that a million corpses will be lying."

Li Li Zhouwei didn't care in his heart, just made a look of sudden realization on his face, nodded slightly, and listened to him shake his head and say:

"Fortunately, the adult is born sacred after all, and there is still magic in his hand. The gentlest and most convenient means at the moment is to lock 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 and remove its influence. Use it for eight or ten years, and it will naturally dissipate."

"These 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 are all under our supervision, only.. one or two flowers in the wilderness are not easy to deal with."

Li Li Zhouwei immediately understood. What Yang Yang Ruiyi said was 【Great Good Golden Lotus】, but it was actually the delivery and division of the wilderness, so he put down the cup and asked:

"How does your noble family view it?"

Yang Yang Ruiyi only said:

"My family's adult's idea.. … The wilderness will be left in our hands for now, and when things are arranged properly, it will be handed over to your noble family in another way."

The loss of manpower in the wilderness is actually much less than estimated, but 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 has already poisoned all directions, and it is something left by the Release Earth, so it is not easy to deal with. If the Li family holds it in their hands, they really have no means to deal with it for a while, and handing it to the Yang family is also less trouble.

'The so-called other way, it is either enfeoffment or reward...'

Li Li Zhouwei nodded and replied:

"Trouble your noble family."

Yang Yang Ruiyi then smiled:

"This is no problem, I should thank your noble family for your trust."

Li Li Zhouwei finished talking about various things, finally became solemn, and said heavily:

"My family has two more clan members... one is the clan brother Li Li Zhouluo, who received the adult's reward, and the other is the elder Li Li Yuanqin, who is practicing in Mount Qingchi... I don't know how your noble family will deal with it?"

Li Li Xuanxuan had thought about this matter for a long time. Since Li Li Zhouwei saw Yang Yang Ruiyi, he asked carefully.

Yang Yang Ruiyi looked at him unexpectedly, put away his smile, and replied:

"Li Li Zhouluo... after all, has the Yang family bloodline. If placed in my Yang family, he can be safely preserved, and there is no need to worry about anyone using any means on him, affecting you and me, two surnames. This is good for him, and also good for you and me, two families."

Li Li Zhouwei looked at him heavily, and Yang Yang Ruiyi added a sentence and smiled:

"However... there is no need to investigate carefully here. Wait for the new dynasty to be established, and he will have room for choice. You and I just wait."

He seemed very confident, looking at Li Li Zhouwei quietly:

"As for Li Li Yuanqin... the Ning family will replace the adult to guard Yishan City and the Southern Frontier. This is a reward for Ning Wan. If the Li family really needs him, just speak to the Ning family. I think Ning Wan will not refuse."

"Just.."

He smiled:

"I see... it's a good thing that it's not easy to walk out of a branch and not return to the lake."

Li Li Zhouwei looked at him thoughtfully:

"Reward.. Ning Wan still has means.."

The two were for the interests of their respective families, and there was nothing much to talk about. Yang Yang Ruiyi put down the tea to see off the guests and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist just wait for these few years. Which day the stars appear in the sky, flickering endlessly, day and night are bright, it is the founding of Fengwu, and there are golden carriages and jade horses coming to the lake to confer the venerable position!"

After speaking, he got up from the main seat himself, sent the golden-eyed youth out, and took a step forward, pushing the cabinet door open himself.

"Creak."

The gentle light of the morning immediately fell into the cabinet, the stone steps were bright, the cold wind blew, but one person was waiting outside the cabinet.

The man had handsome eyebrows, golden eyes flashing, wearing a long robe with scroll patterns, and a brocade robe with animal patterns on the outside, which was extremely elegant, revealing a bit of scholarly general temperament, waiting outside the cabinet.

Now that the cabinet door was opened, he immediately bowed and said respectfully:

"Seen the adult... seen... father!"

Li Li Zhouwei stood in front of the cabinet, facing the brilliant sunlight, standing with his hands behind his back, Yang Yang Ruiyi's laughter echoed outside the cabinet:

"The Fourth Young Master has outstanding immortal merits, the adult has mentioned it many times, it is truly a tiger father without a dog son!"

Li Li Jiangliang bowed in front of the cabinet, and there was no emotional fluctuation because of his words, but waited carefully, and then heard his father's voice:

"Fellow Daoist is overpraised."

Li Li Jiangliang's heart was complicated, he raised his head slightly, and retreated to the side, only seeing two hems of clothes in front of him. The man in black smiled:

"I won't disturb you."

His figure disappeared in an instant, and was wiped clean, as if he had never appeared, leaving only this golden-eyed youth standing quietly in place, Li Li Jiangliang's vision raised a few inches:

"Father."

"Walk with me."

"Yes."

Li Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows, and walked along the corridor between the cabinet buildings. Li Li Jiangliang followed him step by step, listening to Li Li Zhouwei ask:

"In the dynasty.. what affairs do you hold, what position do you occupy?"

Li Li Jiangliang hurriedly said:

"Child is now making the etiquette of the new dynasty, waiting for the big things to be settled, and should deal with some livelihood matters."

Li Li Zhouwei stopped his steps, turned his head and looked at it for two eyes, and said:

"You are different from several brothers. Cui Cui Jueyin taught you for more than ten years, and you listened to it all, without disgracing my family's family education."

Li Li Jiangliang never thought that his father would have such words, and he was stunned for a while, silent for a few breaths, and then suddenly realized:

"Father... thank you father."

Li Li Zhouwei turned to look at the clouds outside the corridor, leaning on the white stone-carved railing, and said quietly:

"That day, the words you said when your eldest brother came back from Xunlin Plain, I also heard. You said that you would rather die than move a point of the family's things..."

Li Li Jiangliang accompanied him, looking at his golden pupils, his expression complex.

But his father's tone gradually softened, and he said lightly:

"Actually, you also know that whether you use the family's power or not is not important. One day when you are powerless, if you really want to move, that is something that cannot be pushed away, so there is no need to have such a poisonous oath."

Li Li Jiangliang lowered his eyes and suddenly bowed to the ground, but Li Li Zhouwei's words became light, only echoing in his heart.

Following the Yang family, perhaps there are more turning points. ===== CHAPTER 1071 =====

By staying by the Yang family's side, perhaps there will be more opportunities for a turn of events.
