Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 896
Chapter 896 The Ming Clan’s Saint Clan’s Plan
When Jiang Feng and the other four entered Ya Ling Imperial City, the Shao Imperial Palace’s Zhong Zheng Guang Hong Palace was in the middle of a meeting.
Other than the Shao Imperial Clan’s Clan Chief, Shao Lizhong, and the Clan Head, Shao Tianrui, who had participated in this meeting. Shao Lizhong’s second and third brothers, Shao Yan and Shao Pan, were also present.
Apart from the Shao Clan, there were also a few Ming Clan saints seated in the Central Orthodox Light Palace.
Among them were Ming Haiqiu, the patriarch of the Ming Saint Clan, and Ming Junhua, the patriarch of the clan. There was also another woman. This woman was also from the Ming Clan’s Sacred Clan. However, it wasn’t just Shao Lizhong and Shao Tianrui that were surprised that she was able to appear in Zhongzhengguang Hong Palace. Even Minghai Qiu, who was the Clan Chief, was shocked.
Then who is this woman?
That’s right, it was Ming Haiqiu who had already married the daughter of the Xuanyuan Imperial Region, the wife of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan’s Patriarch-Ming Lanzhi.
The Shao Imperial Clan had a very deep foundation, and even compared to the Ming Saint Clan, they could say something even more courageous.
Shao Lizhong himself was a peak mid-Saint realm expert, much higher than Minghai Qiu’s cultivation realm.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were only two saints in an Emperor Domain, the Shao Imperial Clan would have long been a Shao Saint Clan.
It was precisely for this reason that if Minghai Qiu was the only one who came today, Li-zhong Shao probably wouldn’t give him much face. But now, there was another Ming Lanzhi among the Ming Clan’s saints, which made Shao Lizhong have no choice but to treat him with caution.
Before the meeting, Shao Lizhong waited for Ming Haiqiu and the others to enjoy the top-grade cakes and tea in the Shao Imperial Palace. Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Shao Lizhong said, “Saint Ming, Madam Xuanyuan, may I know what advice you two have for coming to my small palace today?”
“Clan Chief Shao’s words are too harsh. How can I afford the word’instruct ‘? I came here for two reasons, one is to implement the details of the cooperation we talked about earlier, and the other is to discuss another cooperation with Clan Chief Shao.”
“Talk about another cooperation?” Lizhong Shao looked at Minghai Qiu in confusion.
Minghai Qiu said that the “cooperation we talked about before” was clear to Li Shao. To put it bluntly, he captured Bai Ningxuan and handed him over to the Ming Clan’s saints. Then, Minghai Qiu used Bai Ningxuan to force Bai Wentian to plead guilty and hand over Bai Family’s Holy City.
After that, Minghai Qiu reported to Autarch Tianyi to support his Shao Imperial Clan’s advancement to the Saint Clan and take over all the territories of the White Saint Clan.
It was precisely because of this cooperation that Shao Lizhong ordered people to control Bai Ningxuan. In addition, his own grandson, Shao Jianyun, had angered Shao Lizhong because he wanted to save Bai Ningxuan several times. In the end, his cultivation was crippled by Shao Lizhong, and he was demoted to white-clothed house arrest.
Shao Lizhong bowed to Ming Haiqiu and said, “Saint Ming, please explain more clearly. Do you mean to talk about another cooperation?”
“I think this matter should be left to me.” Ming Lanzhi suddenly spoke, shifting everyone’s attraction onto her.
It had to be said that Ming Lanzhi’s ability to become Xuanyuan Wushuang’s only wife was absolutely reasonable. Not to mention her exceptionally beautiful face and figure, just her graceful and noble temperament was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.
After Minglan Zhi finished speaking, she deliberately paused for a moment. After she confirmed that everyone was paying attention to her, she said, “Patriarch Shao, the other collaboration my father mentioned just now is actually a marriage. I came here from the Xuanyuan Imperial Region specifically for the sake of this marriage.”
“Marriage?” Lizhong Shao was even more puzzled. “There are no unmarried girls among the direct descendants of our Shao Clan. May I know what Madam Xuanyuan meant by marriage?”
“It’s my Xuanyuan Imperial Clan who wants to choose a girl who hasn’t left the pavilion, marry into the Shao Imperial Clan, and join the Shao Imperial Clan in-laws.”
Ming Lanzhi smiled and said these words, which really shocked Shao Lizhong.
“Madam Xuanyuan, are you talking about direct descendants or collateral descendants?” Asked Shao Lizhong hurriedly.
“Don’t worry, Clan Chief Shao. He is definitely a direct descendant.”
Shao Lizhong stood up and bowed to Ming Lanzhi solemnly, “Madam Xuanyuan, please.”
Indeed, marrying a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan to the Shao Imperial Clan was a form of complimenting the Shao Imperial Clan from every angle. No wonder the Shao Clan was so excited and shocked.
Ming Lanzhi was obviously very satisfied with Shao Lizhong’s reaction. She smiled and said, “Please sit down, Clan Chief Shao. I haven’t finished my words yet.”
Lizhong Shao immediately sat back down and said, “Madam Xuanyuan, please speak.”
“I don’t like to talk in circles, so I’ll tell the Shao Clan’s Clan Chief the whole thing.”
“Xuanyuan Imperial Region has been resisting the beast tide lately. Originally, there was a lot of pressure, but fortunately, there has been strong assistance recently, so the situation has stabilized for the time being.
During the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan’s resistance to the beast tide, a rebellious leader named Jiang Feng had annihilated the Wen Clan’s saints in the Xuanyuan Imperial Region. “That’s why the Xuanyuan Imperial Region lacks a Saint Race, and Emperor Xuanyuan hopes that our Mingshi Saint Race will fill the saint race spot.”
“Move your race and change your domain?” Shao Lizhong sucked in a breath of cold air. He hadn’t expected the Ming Clan Saint Clan to play so much.
To put it bluntly, “Transferring a race to another region” was to defect from the Imperial Region, wasn’t it? If Tianyi Imperial Clan found out about this kind of thing, it would definitely be an endless grudge.
The sweat on Shao Lizhong’s forehead immediately seeped out. He felt that the cooperation between him and Ming Haiqiu was getting a little big.
Seeing Shao Lizhong’s ugly expression, Minglanzhi immediately smiled. She shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, Clan Chief. The Ming Saint Clan will definitely make it clear to Empyrean Heavenly Yi that they are going to change their clans, and Empyrean Heavenly Yi will definitely agree.”
“I will definitely agree? Why?”
“Because what our Xuanyuan Imperial Clan gave to the Heavenly Yi Imperial Domain is a generous gift that Autarch Heavenly Yi cannot refuse!”
After Minglan Zhi finished speaking, she clapped her hands. Very quickly, a beautiful woman wearing a purple skirt walked in from outside Zhongzheng Guanghong Palace.
If Jiang Feng was here, he would definitely recognize her at a glance. Wasn’t this woman Emperor Xuanyuan?
Emperor Xuanyuan was as cold and arrogant as ever. She slightly raised her head and walked into the hall, followed by a young and beautiful woman.
Ming Lanzhi pointed at Xuanyuan Imperial Concubine and said, “This is my daughter, Xuanyuan Imperial Concubine. The girl following behind her is called Xuanyuan Yiren.”
Perhaps the Shao Clan’s Clan Chief has never heard of the name of an Iranian, but you must have heard of her brother’s name. Xuanyuan Chengde, the number one emperor of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan. ”
“Oh, I’ve heard of it.” Lizhong Shao nodded his head repeatedly. He no longer asked any questions and waited for Minglanzhi to explain what medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Ming Lanzhi said, “My Xuanyuan Imperial Concubine will set up a separate clan after coming to Tianyi Imperial Domain. As for Xuanyuan Yi, she will marry into your Shao Imperial Clan in the name of her sister.”
After your Shao Imperial Clan succeeds in replacing the White Saint Clan, our Ming Saint Clan will leave Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain for Xuanyuan Imperial Region. The new saint race that was going to succeed the Ming Clan’s saint race was the newly established Xuanyuan Imperial Clan of Emperor Ji. At that time, I would like to ask the Shao Clan’s Clan Chief for his support. ”
“What?” Shao Lizhong finally understood Ming Lanzhi’s intentions.
Ming Lanzhi wanted to push the Shao Imperial Clan to replace the Bai Saint Clan first, and then withdraw the Ming Saint Clan to Xuanyuan Imperial Region. Then, he asked his daughter to set up a family in Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain and replace the Ming Saint Race with the family set up by his daughter.
As for why Ming Lanzhi had sent out a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan to marry the Shao Clan, to put it bluntly, he wanted to tie his Shao Clan to the war chariot of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan.
If Minglan Zhi succeeded in all these plans, then she would be tantamount to emptying Tianyi Imperial Clan without any bloodshed. From now on, Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain was, to put it bluntly, Xuanyuan Imperial Clan’s backyard.
Lizhong Shao frowned as he looked at Minglanzhi. He couldn’t help but ask angrily, “What makes Madam Xuanyuan think that Tianyi Imperial Clan will allow an unheard of family to succeed the Ming Saint Race as the new Saint Race in Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain?”
“Because Tianyi Imperial Clan can’t refuse.”
After Emperor Xuanyuan said those words, a blazing sun suddenly shone down from the sky. The sun directly pierced through the roof of Zhongzheng Guanghong Hall, creating a row of fist-sized circular holes on Emperor Xuanyuan’s body.
The round holes started from the tips of Emperor Xuanyuan’s feet and connected to the tips of Shao Lizhong’s feet one after another.
Lizhong Shao was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly and almost fell to the ground.
After Shao Lizhong sat down, he looked at Emperor Xuanyuan in shock and said, “You … are you the new owner of the Skylight Mirror?”
Xuanyuan Diji coldly snorted and did not answer Shao Lizhong’s question.
Right at this moment, a loud explosion came from outside the Palace of Correct Light. At the same time, a warning bell sounded from the front hall. A personal guard of the Imperial Palace shouted and ran over to the Palace of Zhongzheng Guanghong, “Imperial Sovereign, this is bad. Someone broke into the Imperial Palace. The front dragon gate has been destroyed.”
“What?” Shao Lizhong had just been frightened by Xuanyuan Diji, and he was worried that there was nowhere to vent his resentment.
Now that he heard that someone dared to barge into the Shao Imperial Palace, Shao Lizhong’s killing intent could not help but overflow.
Lizhong Shao stood up. He looked at Xuanyuan Diji and the others and said, “Please sit down for a moment. I will deal with those unsightly things and come back.”
“Wait a moment.” Xuanyuan Diji called Shao Lizhong.
Lizhong Shao turned to look at Xuanyuan Diji, his eyes filled with fear as he asked, “May I know what your opinion is?”
“Since the other party dares to barge into your imperial palace, then it proves that the other party must have some support. I will go with you to see who else in the Heavenly Yi Emperor Domain has the strength and courage to do so.”
Although Xuanyuan Diji’s words were not polite, they actually made it clear to Li-zhong Shao that she wanted to help.
Li-zhong Shao also understood what Xuanyuan Diji meant. He immediately nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble you.”
Shao Lizhong and Xuanyuan Diji left Zhongzheng Guanghong Hall together, and Ming Haiqiu and Shao Tianrui followed suit.
Jiang Feng and the others were also walking towards the entrance of the Shao Imperial Palace. Behind them, there were already hundreds of corpses scattered all over the place …
