C98 Returning home, messing up

Under the helpless expressions of the Murong father and son, son and son, and the urge to cry but unable to shed tears, the Situ couple brought the Murong Family experts and set off on their journey home.

Of course, it wasn't clear if the Murong father and son were happy to see their daughter off, or if they were unwilling to part with the cart full of small scrolls that they had taken from the Murong Family.

Looking at his daughter's departing group, Murong and his son turned their heads to look inside the door, but could only look at each other with a bitter smile. One could only blame Phoenix for being too cunning, for scraping the ground three feet at a time.

"Fortunately, my Phoenix Heart Jade is still here!"

"Fortunately, my Scorching Sun Saber is still here!"

The Murong father and son duo wiped their sweat at the same time. Even though the things that were taken away hurt a lot, they were still able to endure it, because after they knew that Murong Fenghuang was going to come, they had already hidden away their most important treasures.

"No, that phoenix girl told me to find her and take her with me!" Madam Murong looked at the convoy that had already gone far away with a bit of dissatisfaction. Just as she was thinking sorrowfully about when she would see her own daughter again, she heard the father and son mumbling to themselves, and couldn't help but reply after hearing the contents clearly.

It was fine if he didn't say it, but once he said that, Murong Badao immediately fainted with a 'gabeng' sound, while Murong Kuanglong yelled out two words of 'ready horse' in extreme grief and indignation.

In the end, the Murong father and son were unable to retrieve the treasure they had wished for. There were two reasons, one was that the Madam Murong was rather overbearing as she used one of her hands to twist the ear of the other person and successfully carried the two person back; the other was that Murong Fenghuang ordered a horse to quickly rush back to deliver a letter, in which she strongly condemned his father and brother for hiding the treasure. The words' I'm still not satisfied, you guys do what you want to do 'were added on top of the letter.

Situ Qingtian and Murong Fenghuang's journey back could be said to be extremely peaceful. Of course, Situ Qingtian was still pretending to be injured and dead asleep, and Murong Fenghuang had disguised herself to be a servant, and the whole team had followed him around. What kind of sad expression, what sorrowful looks, and even did actions that could cause them to cry at any time, it really wasn't easy with that.

Of course, these people were chosen from the Murong Family Sea Selection, and after passing the three trials and six examinations, they would have to go through four instructors who would turn around and take them as disciples. It would be best if they could become participants of the first 'Murong Family's show' and enter Murong Fenghuang's escort team.

From this, it could be seen that amongst Murong Fenghuang's escorts, although their abilities were high, it was certain that they were all experts in the field. From their expressions, it could be seen that they were crying in grief, and they could even feel the anger and depression in their hearts. Their grasp over the scale of their performance was also quite good, one more would pass, and one less would be missing.

The large group walked and stopped, and after about a month, they finally reached Situ Family.

No one knew why they were delayed for so long. Perhaps only Situ Qingtian who was still in his 'coma' and Murong Fenghuang who was pretending to be a servant knew why she was delayed for nearly half a month.

When the team was about to reach Situ Family, they could already see the welcoming party from far away. However, the people welcoming them were not people who shouted simultaneously with gongs and drums, red flags fluttered in the wind, and firecrackers shook the sky. On the contrary, black cloth covered the sky, white cover the ground, and the trumpets and firecrackers took off.

"This is such a spectacular scene, isn't it?" Murong Fenghuang looked at the scene happily.

"You're still talking about it!" If not, when you wrote the cultivation book to the Great Clan Elder, you would have added a sentence that said 'the scene must be grand'. How could you make such a big scene and you are even laughing now? Situ Qingtian said snappily.

"Alright, Lord Husband, isn't I doing this for the sake of a plan? This way, the news would spread even faster across the entire continent. Furthermore, even though he was poisoned, he was still alive. I think the Great Elder must have had too much fun and couldn't take it! " Murong Fenghuang explained.

"'Hey'? "What kind of words are those? Where did you learn all these weird words recently? Besides, you still have time to say, don't act like you're poisoned, will you still have enough time later?" Situ Qingtian felt that his wife had been possessed recently, and he almost couldn't understand what she was saying. His knowledge was not low either, and he often asked her about it.

"Alright, alright. Don't rush me. I'll go and disguise myself now. It's a pity that Lord Husband won't be able to perform well in the future!" Murong Fenghuang ran into another car in a flash. After changing her clothes, she changed back to her original appearance and found a comfortable position to lie down. She immediately sat up after lying down, as if she had forgotten what it was, and after lightly patting her forehead, she took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom and swallowed a pill. Then, she patted her chest plate in relief, and laid back down again, but a moment later, she saw Murong Fenghuang's snow-like skin instantly turn dark green.

Not long later, the group stopped in front of the crowd. Two little guys jogged to the side of the carriage and helped Situ Qingtian out.

If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that this mummy-like guy was actually the current master of the Situ Family.

"Clan Head, don't be sad!" Under the lead of a few elders, everyone gave a salute and said in a loud and clear voice.

"Everyone, there is no need to be so courteous. You have all been poisoned and have not woken up yet. I thank you all for your concern, elders and brothers within the clan. I thank you all for your help." Situ Qingtian made a slight bow and was stopped by someone else. Of course, Situ Qingtian also stopped at the bottom of the hill and continued to bow. It was just that he hated Murong Fenghuang for being so unyielding, for actually binding the bandages on his body so tightly. Under such circumstances, forget about bending over, just bowing was already a feat to him.

Without delay, Situ Qingtian was carried in by the crowd. Of course, there were people who took care of him and brought him down the carriage as well, which they quickly sent to the bedroom.

The reason why the welcome was quick was that under such circumstances, the audience could only welcome them as a show to express their wishes. They didn't want to have to do a few programs and give a speech that was more than ten thousand words in length. Since there was no way to arrange the program, it could only end with, 'He is good, I am good', beautiful in both directions. Secondly, everyone saw that the Patriarch's mummified appearance was too scary, and they were all wondering one question: was the Patriarch wounded all over? Not a good place? Even his two legs were injured? If he wasn't hurt, why was it wrapped up so thick and large? Furthermore, it even revealed its lifelike shape.

Of course, after using Situ Qingtian to bandage his lower body, he could only raise his head up 45 degrees to look at the sky, so he couldn't see his lower body at all. If he knew what his lower body looked like right now, he would probably turn violent in an instant and smack Murong Fenghuang's butt into four half.

Seeing that everyone kept quiet all the way, and carried him quickly into the clan, Situ Qingtian felt a little helpless. He had even prepared many scenes, simulated in his mind many times in order to display his talent in front of everyone. Situ Qingtian thought with a little sigh: "What a pity, what a pity! At the very least, he had to perform a crying game! My tears have been brewing for a long time! "

The following days were filled with people like flowing water. They came to visit the Situ Family one after another, like they were the rare animals that came to visit the zoo.

But at this moment, the Honglong Empire was in an uproar.

The chaos started in the imperial capital. First, there was a great change in the blood of the imperial guards. Almost overnight, the imperial guards went through a baptism from top to bottom, but this baptism was washed with blood.

At the same time, it was also the most elite existence in the empire. The number of people was around five hundred thousand, and amongst them, there were about seventy high-ranking generals and over a thousand commanding officers.

When such a figure was reported to His Majesty, even the monarch of a country could not help but feel a twinge of pain. It was not because of the loss of their lives, but because the imperial guards had mixed so many eyes and worms in, causing them to feel pain in their hearts, as if a knife had been twisted into their hearts, and they even felt some lingering fear. No matter what the powerhouses behind these people wanted to do, the result would be the Honglong Empire's emperor.

Is it fun being an emperor? Ten emperors and nine would not be fun to talk to you about. If a nation was unable to rule over a country, an official could change his face, but an emperor could only change his face into a wisp of white silk. If he couldn't be someone above the hundreds of thousands of people, then he could only be a ghost. Perhaps the book would mention his name, but history was written by the victor. Just think about it, how good would it be?

The situation of the imperial guards had caused the king to be furious. He used the army as the starting point to spread the news to the entire capital.

Imperial Overwatch Council and eagle eye had a tacit understanding. One provided information while the other brandished a butcher's knife, quickly starting a major purge of certain forces in the fifth year after Emperor Hong Zheng ascended to the throne. Although this purge was controlled within the imperial capital, due to the change in the staff of the imperial court, it had indirectly caused a huge change in the official position of the Honglong Empire.

The ones who had suffered the most in this purge were naturally the eighth prince and the Ninth Prince's forces. Whether they were the carefully cultivated intelligence networks or the powers in the imperial court, they had all been dealt a fatal blow, with 90% of their power lost in this purge.

Of course, the innocent factions that were affected existed as well. One could only blame them for extending their hand too long. Regardless of one's ambition or not, since one had already touched the bottom line of the emperor, one must be prepared to be killed. Power is a double-edged sword. You can play with it, but be careful not to hurt yourself.

However, the chaos in the imperial city was in stark contrast to the silence of the five great clans. The person who was the calmest was naturally the Situ Family, but not many people knew that it was only the calm before the storm.

At this time, inside and outside the city where Situ Family was located, there were spies, intelligence personnel formed by the alliance of the five great families, elite experts of the Imperial Overwatch Council, and intelligence elite eagle eye organizations that belonged to the royal family.

They were all waiting, waiting for the information to be delivered to their doorstep. This was a joint attack by the Empire's royal family and the five great families, and the plan had been prepared for a long time. Every intelligence agent who came to their doorstep had been informed, 'We can only succeed, we must not fail!'

As a result, all the intelligence agents present were fully focused on any one person who walked out of Situ Family. Any bird that flew out was an important clue that they would be able to find the mastermind.

As the name implied, this time, it was not to wipe out all the enemies, but to find out what kind of organization the mastermind was. He could not let an unknown organization stab them in the back. Whether it was the control of the empire or the revenge from the five great families, they had to know who the enemy was and how strong he was!

Of course, the chaos in the imperial city was only a part of the plan, it was mainly to divert the majority of the powers' attention within the empire to this purge in the imperial city. And the person who would still be concerned about Murong Fenghuang's life and death, would probably be the mastermind. In the meantime, the king wanted to use this opportunity to clear his path. There was no room for any other tigers beside the male tiger, and if there was one, it would at least be a female.
