Cultivation starts with time management

Then, a rough, angry, disgusted hoarse voice sounded outside:

"You bitch!"

Longhu held her breath subconsciously for an instant, because she heard heavy footsteps, and she was stepping into the bedroom from outside the door.

Qi Weihuan, the patriarch of the Qilin clan and the king of all monsters.

Long Long stretched out his hand quietly, and gently held Longhu's little hand, signaling her not to act rashly.

The sound insulation effect of the mezzanine in the bedroom wall is unknown, but most of the monsters have keen hearing, especially those with high cultivation bases, it would be bad if he heard the sound of climbing the ladder.

The safest way, of course, is to stay here quietly, motionless, hold your breath, and make sure not to make any noise.

After the emperor fell asleep or left, the two cheered up 12 points and quietly returned the same way.

Long Long was thinking nervously and quickly, but he heard the sound of a woman sobbing from outside.

If the guess is correct, this should be the marriage partner of Qi Weihuan and the Baihu clan, the queen named Lu Ya.

Chapter 74 The Kingslayer

Listening to the direction of the sobbing voice, Queen Lu Ya should be sitting at the head of the bed.

Qi Weihuan didn't pay attention to her, but stopped near the end of the bed, and then there was the sound of gulping water—or drinking.

It's no secret that the Yaozu emperor likes wine. Most of the Horn tribe like grains, fruits and wine very much.

After a few sips of wine, Qi Weihuan insulted his wife a few more words, all of which were swear words insulting the Mao tribe, which made Longhu frown in displeasure.

It is also well known that the relationship between the emperor and the empress is not harmonious.

Lu Ya was born in the White Tiger Clan. She is proud and stubborn by nature. She has the unique "contempt for carnivores" of the Mao Clan towards any Horn Clan.

Qi Weihuan, as the emperor, how could he tolerate his wife's racial discrimination against him?

In addition, it was originally a political marriage, and the two parties had no emotional basis. It would be a ghost if the relationship could get better.

No matter how insulting Qi Weihuan was outside, Lu Ya just sobbed and didn't say a word, as if she didn't bother to communicate with him at all, which made Emperor Qilin even more angry.

Finally, with the help of Jiuli, Qi Weihuan yelled in a rare gaffe:

"Tell me, are those two sons and a daughter my unicorn?"

"Your Majesty, how could you say that!" Lu Ya immediately stood up and screamed. There was a trace of panic in her anger, but she quickly covered it up. "The blood of different races will unite together and give birth to offspring. Whose blood will dominate in the end?" It’s all about rank!”

"My sons and daughters are of the blood of the white tiger in the end. Is this something I can choose? Why don't your majesty ask why your blood is not up to par? I really want the offspring of the Qilin species so much. Your majesty will find a mistress in the Qilin clan by himself. My queen!"

Qi Weihuan was speechless for a moment, because he had secretly raised several unicorn mistresses outside, and had already given birth to many illegitimate children.

"Your Majesty?" There was a knock on the door, but it was the guard brought by Queen Lu Ya from her natal home.

"Get out!" Qi Weihuan reacted again and roared.

Having a mistress and being cuckolded are not the same thing, let alone cancel each other out.

Immediately there was no sound outside the door.Under the influence of alcohol, Qi Weihuan didn't intend to continue to make detours, and directly said viciously:

"Lu Ya... If you really cheated, tell me, I will go to negotiate with your father, make peace with you, and let you go back to the family..."

Lu Ya was not moved at all, because she knew that once she admitted, Qi Weihuan would turn his face immediately, so she just said sadly as if she had been greatly insulted:

"Although I have been treated harshly by you since the day I got married, I have always kept my duty and never done anything against women's morals!"

"If Your Majesty doubts my loyalty, why do you have to be aggressive in this bedroom? Why don't you just summon all the officials and explain in public that I, the queen, should be dismissed!"

"You, you! You wicked woman!" Qi Weihuan's anger surged rapidly.

Up until now, what he couldn't tolerate the most was that the queen still assumed a superior attitude when faced with his questioning.

Although the content of the words was beyond reproach, the contemptuous arrogance of turning his head away and disdaining to look at him still made Qi Weihuan almost burn with anger and couldn't contain it.

"I killed you, you wicked woman!" He suddenly jumped up violently, pushing Lu Ya directly against the wall, making a loud crash.

Long Long and Long Hu in the mezzanine of the wall even heard Lu Ya's terrified cough, as if forced by a chick whose throat was strangled.

There was another loud noise outside, as if someone violently knocked open the door, followed by a few clashes of metal and iron, and then stopped abruptly.

After about five or six breaths, there was a weak muffled groan, followed by Qi Weihuan's weak moan:

"...You, wicked woman, poison and assassinate..."

Before the words were finished, the voice behind was gradually inaudible, followed by the sound of falling to the ground.

Long Long and Long Hu stood there in a daze, feeling almost collapsed from fright.

The queen, in her bedroom, murdered the Yaozu emperor? ? !

Suddenly, there was another loud slap in the face, and Queen Lu Ya's suppressed furious roar:

"Bitch! Who told you to kill him!"

"Your Majesty." The voice of an unfamiliar male guard sounded, "I'm worried that this villain will attack you..."

"He has already taken my poison, and his true energy has long been exhausted. How can he have the ability to kill me?" Lu Ya slapped me hard again, which made Long Long feel pain in his flesh. "Originally, if you cooperated with me to kill him Subdue it, so that he can report his illness to the outside world later, so I can take the opportunity to hold the power of the government in my hands... Such a perfect plan was ruined by a bastard like you!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" The voice of something knelt on the ground, followed by eager words of advice, "The most urgent thing is to conceal the death of Your Majesty, and then plan another way!"

"You bastard, you still know how to persuade me to go back! Idiot!" Lu Ya kicked him down, paced the room for a while, and said through gritted teeth, "It's okay to be alive, but it's hard to say now that you're dead. How can I hide it? You bastard!"

After a while, she finally sorted out her thoughts and said viciously:

"Last time I asked you to investigate his illegitimate son, didn't you? You leave the tower immediately and kill all his mistresses and other illegitimate children! Only the youngest child is left behind and bring him to the Dragon Tower!"

"You need to clean your hands and feet. It's best to pretend to be a mob. Don't involve me again! Otherwise, I'll let you die!"

The male guard quickly took orders and left in a hurry.

Then, Lu Ya's terrified cries and desperate and painful cries sounded in the bedroom:

"Come on! Come on! Your Majesty has been assassinated!"

Hearing Lu Ya's hasty cry for help, Long Long immediately knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and quickly took Long Hu's hand to leave the interlayer of the wall, and quickly crawled down from the hole in the floor.

Fortunately, the queen kept calling for help, but let the two leave quietly.

Long Long led Longhu to run wildly in the secret passage, only to hear the sound of hurried footsteps outside, apparently a large group of monks were rushing towards the upper floors of the tower.

Running all the way back to the room at the bottom of the Dragon Pagoda, Long Long quickly cast his divine light again, and the five elements coexisted, completely sealing the entrance of the passage, and only after there were no traces visible from the outside, did he quickly drag the carpet over to cover it.

"Longlong, what... what should I do?" Longhu said in a panic, his heart was beating like it was about to jump out of his chest.

Too scary!

"Don't worry." Long Long thought nervously again.

First of all, the death of the emperor will inevitably lead to a vacuum of power in the upper echelons of Zhongzhou.

There will definitely be people trying to fill this vacuum, such as the queen who is eager to find the emperor's illegitimate child, or other Qilin elders who are close to Qi Weihuan and have enough cultivation, and so on.

So here comes the question: for the Dragon Clan, is this change of situation a blessing or a curse?

Chapter 75 The Storm Is Coming

After witnessing the murder with his own eyes, even though he had returned to the basement, Longhu's little heart was still beating violently.

It's not that she's afraid of death, but she doesn't understand how a monster monk like Qi Weihuan, whose status and cultivation base has almost reached the peak, would die of such a despicable murder so easily.

If Long Long knew what she was thinking, he would definitely scoff at her:

You are still too young and too naive!

No matter what level of monks, even immortals, under certain circumstances, they would even be killed by powerless mortals.

Poisoning is a common situation.After all, no matter magic weapons, flying swords, Taoism or blood supernatural powers, they all need the corresponding support of true essence.

Once the true energy is exhausted, it is like fish on the chopping board, which can only be slaughtered.

Even some so-called "immortal" gadgets also have corresponding restraint methods... Probably only the realm of "Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian" recorded in legends can realize immortality in the true sense.

In short, Long Long is not a dragon fox, and he did not feel sad because of Qi Weihuan's murder. What he is really worried about is a series of chain reactions caused by the death of the emperor.

First, the murder was both premeditated and accidental.

Premeditated means that the empress gave the emperor some kind of special poison in the flagon, which made him unable to fight back, and arranged guards loyal to the empress to guard outside. Obviously, she had already planned to subdue Qi Weihuan, and then " Take the Son of Heaven to command the feudal lords."

What happened by accident was naturally Qi Weihuan's death... Apparently the guard didn't completely obey the queen's orders, he also had his own little thoughts.

Otherwise, how to explain that after the emperor's true energy was exhausted, he still resolutely killed him?It can't be explained as slippery hands.

Besides, with Qi Weihuan's bloodline and cultivation base, even if he loses his true essence temporarily, his physical strength will be unbreakable.

There must be a big problem with the weapons carried by the guards, but Longhu and I are behind the interlayer of the wall, we can only hear the sound, but cannot see the shape of the weapon...

Long Long rubbed the center of his eyebrows again, trying not to let his thoughts continue to radiate without limit.

There is no need to continue to analyze the motivation, the key is the follow-up.

If I were a queen, what would I do if I encountered such a situation where the emperor died unexpectedly?

First of all, of course, blame the blame, it just so happens that there was an assassination incident in the imperial capital, and it can all be blamed on the assassin.

As for how the assassin sneaked into the guarded Dragon Tower?That doesn't matter, as long as there is a plausible reason.

The second is naturally to seize power.

As Qi Weihuan's decent wife, with the support of her natal family's Baihu clan behind her, she can use the name of "raising Qi Weihuan's children to grow up" to inherit the power left by the emperor.

However, Lu Ya has a fatal flaw in this respect:

The three children she gave birth to are all of the blood of the White Tiger clan.

In the Eastern Emperor's Realm, the emperor is not alone, and there is also an entire monster clan behind him.

The biggest obstacle for Lv Ya to inherit power is the Qilin family.It is absolutely impossible for the Qilin clan to agree to let the three children of the white tiger blood be the heirs.

That's why Lu Ya asked the guards to find Qi Weihuan's illegitimate children immediately. They are the key cards for Lu Ya to inherit the emperor's authority as a queen—but I heard that Qi Weihuan has a younger brother who is visiting Beizhou. After being restricted by her, are you still willing to obediently submit to her unfaithful sister-in-law and her useless illegitimate son?

It is conceivable that there will inevitably be bloody political struggles in the next imperial capital!

If it were any other time, Long Long would naturally lead Longhu to escape as far away as possible. After all, this life-and-death political struggle is completely unreasonable. Afterwards, everyone will start killing randomly, and it will be troublesome if they get involved up.

However, the bad thing is that Lu Ya made an excuse that "there was an assassin assassinated".

If Long Long and Long Hu suddenly disappeared in the basement where they were imprisoned, wouldn't they automatically admit that "the assassins are us two"?

Therefore, even if they knew that the storm was coming, the two of them could only stay here obediently, hoping that the Canglong Clan would give some strength.

The things I can guess, won't the clan not get any news, right?No way no way?

……

The top of the Dragon Tower, where the emperor fell.

Qilin Patriarch was standing there, staring at the place where Qi Weihuan died, without saying a word.

Lu Ya was holding a child next to her, and she was still crying and telling that set of flawed lies, until Qilin Patriarch raised his cold eyes, and her crying stopped abruptly.

Each monster clan may have multiple immortal ranks, but the ancestor will only be held by the oldest immortal rank.After all, the way of Yaozu's cultivation is too simple. In most cases, they can only become stronger by purifying their own blood, so it makes sense that the older they are, the stronger they will be.

In the family, the ancestors have the right to say what they say, but they usually don't interfere too much in the affairs of the clan, and only occasionally stand up for the clan leader.

Now that the patriarch of the Qilin clan has died, as long as he can convince the Qilin patriarch, Lu Ya's road to power will be more than half completed.

On the contrary, then consider how to escape from Zhongzhou.

Lu Ya felt slightly ruthless in her heart, so she decided to tear up her face completely, and said viciously:

"Old Ancestor, you must ensure that His Majesty's child inherits the throne! If Qi Weihong is allowed to seize power, this child and I will die sooner or later without a place to die!"

"And Qi Weihong has always been close to Xuanwu in Beizhou! Patriarch, do you still remember that when His Majesty was still in the hidden mansion, Qi Weihong asked Xuanwu for help in order to win the heir, how many ridiculous conditions did he promise? The attitude of Beizhou has already cut this traitor into pieces!"

Qilin Patriarch just looked at her coldly, but didn't speak.

In all fairness, if Qi Weihong can find even a little bit of support in his body, why should he hesitate to let this illegitimate son inherit the throne?

A long time ago, he slapped the white tiger who murdered his husband to death!

But what Lu Ya said is indeed correct, Qi Weihong is too selfish, he will not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the family for his own interests.He flirts with Beizhou Xuanwu all the year round, and doesn't mention marrying a Xuanwu wife despite his family's opposition. The most rebellious thing is that in order to win the heir, he once wanted to use the Xuanwu ancestor to compete with him, the Qilin ancestor!

Bringing outsiders to participate in the family's civil war is a big taboo in any monster clan!

If Qi Weihuan is still there, Qi Weihong's existence is dispensable.

But now that Qi Weihuan has suddenly fallen, if Qi Weihong is allowed to inherit the throne... Based on what the Qilin ancestors knew about him, he will definitely bring in the power of the Xuanwu clan to contend with the opposing forces in the Qilin clan.
