C241 The Water Mansion Was in a Difficult Situation
"Don't worry, father! When necessary, I will personally go to the Changan City. No one will dare to say anything to our Yih Family, and no one will dare to resist. Without Shui Hong, the Water Prefecture is nothing more than meat on a chopping block." Yih Wenbin had a smile on his face, but his words were filled with ruthlessness. In the past two months, the reputation of the Smiley Face Butcher had once again caused the entire Changan City to tremble.
"Go ahead and do your thing. You must have ruthless means, but you must also talk about things related to your face right now. Now that Qingchen had just taken over the throne, the imperial power and the people's sentiment were still unstable. You have to grasp the situation well. Send more people. Spread some words that are beneficial to the Yih Family to stabilize the imperial power. You have to fear the words of others. " Yih Yuanhui said.
The news that the alchemist, Shui Hong, suddenly fell ill and fell unconscious slowly spread out. Most people did not believe it and were puzzled. How could Grade Nine Alchemist and Martial Monarch Peak experts suddenly become seriously ill? Everyone suspected that it might be related to the Yih Family, but they were afraid of the Yih Family's iron fist. No one dared to talk about it.
It was said that the alchemist, Shui Hong, was dissatisfied with the Yih Family's power and started a massacre. He went to the old Emperor Tang Lieh's residence to have a long talk with the old Emperor. The next day, he returned to his residence and suddenly fainted, never to wake up again.
The Shui Family had a small population, and Shui Hong only had two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Shui Dongyang, was neither a scholar nor a martial artist. He had no interest in concocting pills, nor did he have any talent. He also had two sons, but both of them were of average talent. His youngest son, Shui Wuyang, was extremely talented. Shui Hong had high hopes for him, but he had never heard from him since he left home more than ten years ago. His youngest daughter, Shui Xinlan, had a blue heart. She did not like alchemy cultivation and only loved poetry, music, chess, painting and music. Her son-in-law, Liu Rufeng, was also a talented scholar. He was not good at cultivation.
The entire underwater estate was supported by Shui Hong alone. Now that the Sky Pillar had collapsed, the entire underwater estate was in chaos, and it was all controlled by the butler.
Due to Shui Hong's unparalleled prestige in the Great Tang, no one had dared to cause trouble in the underwater prefecture for the past few decades. Because there weren't many soldiers in the prefecture, Shui Hong didn't want anyone to follow him. Only a few rogue cultivators who had received Shui Hong's great kindness and followed him wholeheartedly lived in the prefecture. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was the middle-aged Martial Emperor who had protected Shui Qingyan while traveling a few years ago.
There was an endless stream of people who came to visit and ask for the Pill Medicine. It was like a marketplace, but with the coma of Shui Hong, the "pillar of support," and the deterrence of the Yih Family, ordinary people wouldn't dare and wouldn't be willing to build a relationship with the Water Prefecture. The front door of the Water Prefecture had become deserted and deserted.
On this day, an old man in a long robe and a young girl with a tall and beautiful face came to the front door of the Water Prefecture. The guards at the door were all old men who had been in the underwater estate for many years, so they obviously knew the old man. They quickly went up to greet him and bowed: "This lowly one greets Elder Gong! Greetings, Miss Gong!"
"There's no need to be so polite! Is my big brother home?" The person who came was Shui Hong's sworn brother, Gong Aofeng, and his granddaughter, Gong Xueqing.
"Elder Gong, Master Shui has been in a coma for many days. We have found all the people we can find. We have tried all the ways we can, but none of them worked. You should go and take a look."
"With big brother's cultivation base, how could this be? Quick, lead the way!" Gong Aofeng was surprised and anxious when he heard that.
In Shui Hong's bedroom, Shui Hong, whose face was slightly yellow, was lying on the bed. Although he looked a little haggard, his expression was calm as usual. His breathing was steady and long, as if he was sleeping soundly. He did not have any reaction to the shouting and pushing of the outside world.
Gong Aofeng sat beside the bed and used the Divine Sense to scan Shui Hong's entire body. He also inspected Shui Hong's sea of consciousness. He did not find anything unusual. The only thing was that his sea of consciousness was too calm. There was not a trace of the Divine Soul Fluctuation. This was the symptom of Shui Hong's coma.
Gong Xueqing stood at the side with tears in her eyes, "Grandfather, what happened to Grandpa Shui? Grandpa Shui is so powerful, why is he like this?" After Gong Xueqing took the examination of a Tier 1 alchemist in Tiger Hill City, she followed Shui Hong to learn alchemy for a few months. Shui Hong's amiability and earnest guidance made her feel very close and respectful towards him.
"Ai!" Gong Aofeng shook his head and sighed. "Grandpa Shui's condition is very rare. I can't do anything about it. It seems that I have to make a trip to Pill City."
Not long after, Shui Dongyang, Shui Xinlan, and Liu Rufeng heard the news and rushed over to see Gong Aofeng. They left Shui Hong's bedroom and went to the living room to talk.
"Elder Gong, young master Dongyang, someone from the Yih Family came?" Gong Aofeng and the people from the Shui Family were discussing the matter of saving Shui Hong when the old butler walked in from the living room.
"Yih Family? What are they doing here?" With a bang, Shui Dongyang placed the tea bowl heavily on the tea table beside him.
"Don't worry, Dongyang. I am here. Let's see what they can do. Well, I have something to ask them." Gong Aofeng said, "Old Zhang, let them in."
"Okay, Elder Gong." The old butler turned around and left.
During their conversation, Shui Dongyang had told Gong Aofeng more or less about what happened before Shui Hong fainted.
Three princes of Great Tang Dynasty had died one year after another. The old emperor had suddenly become the emperor of Great Tang Dynasty and Yih Qingchen. After Yih Family had become the emperor, they had hunted and killed all those who opposed them. Moreover, their families had been wiped out, and their methods were cruel and ruthless.
Shui Hong had been with the old emperor for many years, but Tang Lieh did not treat him as a subject or a subject. Instead, he treated him like a brother and a friend. Shui Hong already felt that the prince's accident and the emperor's abdication were strange, and the Yih Family's actions were even more intolerable. Shui Hong, who rarely went to court, had many conflicts with Yih Yuanhui in the Imperial Court. He even scolded Yih Yuanhui in court.
Because Shui Hong was the national alchemist of Great Tang Dynasty and was also the only Grade Nine Alchemist in the dynasty, he was even more wary of Shui Hong's Martial Monarch Peak cultivation base and his supreme prestige in the Imperial Court. The Yih Family did not dare to attack Shui Hong so easily. Furthermore, because of the relationship between Shui Qingyan and Yun Fei, Yih Qingchen had a lot of respect for Shui Hong. Therefore, the Yih Family couldn't do anything to Shui Hong.
One day, Shui Hong went to Tang Lieh's residence to have a long talk with him throughout the night. When he returned home the next day, something strange happened. His expression was a little dull at first. Not long after, he fainted on the ground. He had been unconscious until now. It was obvious that there was something wrong with his soul.
The strength of the Yih Family's cultivation technique lay in the attack of the divine soul and control of the divine soul. Therefore, the Yih Family was the most suspicious. However, there was no evidence. Shui Hong was unconscious, so he didn't know what had happened that night. Shui Dongyang had gone to see Tang Lieh a few times, but he was always rejected.
The whole story pointed to the Yih Family, which had taken full control of the Imperial Court. This made Gong Aofeng, who already had a fiery temper, very angry. He almost pulled out his sword and rushed to the Yih Family to interrogate Gong Aofeng. Now that someone from the Yih Family had arrived, Gong Aofeng was ready to ask about it.
After a while, the old butler returned to the living room, followed by a dozen people. Each of them had an extraordinary aura.
Gong Aofeng squinted his eyes. Among the people from the Yih Family, the first two were actually two Martial Emperors, and one of them was even a Middle Period of Martial Monarch. What were they trying to do by putting on such a big show?
