The male protagonist tricked me

The explosion was so sudden that people were caught off guard.

The detection systems that the armies are proud of did not detect any situation in advance, and did not issue an early warning until a few seconds before the powerful shock wave of the star sea force reached the ground.

However, at this time, it was too late.

That extremely strong shock wave of star sea power seemed to come from the abyss, wrapped in extremely strong power, and was about to smash all obstacles in front of it, and rushed towards destruction, like a giant that had been sleeping for too long and roared. The awakened volcano spews out angry flames.

The high platform at the entrance of the secret realm that was located above the passage was the first to be attacked, and it collapsed immediately, as if being hit by the most powerful interstellar energy cannon, setting off countless rubble and rotten tiles.

And in the royal garden, this conference room, which was originally extremely secret and quiet, was quickly swallowed up by the vast light curtain, and the few people who were still hesitating at the end no longer needed to struggle or hesitate. - they lost this opportunity forever.

And for those who have already retreated to a safe range... seeing all this happen with their own eyes made them feel even more mixed.

Some of them were timid, and on the one hand, they were glad that they withdrew in time, but on the other hand, they wondered whether they should evacuate further.

Therefore, when this person has already started to leave the imperial city with his own army, it also means that this meeting may end without a problem.

After all, it is not yet known how many Patriarchs died in the explosion, and I am afraid that many things need to be discussed in the long run.

After recovering from the aftermath of the explosion, Song Ling sighed a long time, and turned to Kuang Sheng with complicated eyes, "Now... I'm afraid many people will at least remember you as a favor."

Kuang Sheng didn't see much joy on his face, he just looked at the center of the explosion with a heavy expression.

Because of Kuang Yin's precise notification, he was not in a hurry to continue to retreat, but stopped outside the boundary where he could clearly see what happened.

But Kuang Sheng's mood is not easy, because he can't get in touch with Kuang Yin.

Seeing Kuang Sheng's serious expression, Song Ling frowned, "What's going on?"

Kuang Sheng pursed his lips and shook his head.

It is precisely because Kuang Sheng sent out the initial warning, so when the danger really came, those people who withdrew their suspicions and doubts could not help but sigh in their hearts, thankful that they made the right decision, and on the other hand, they turned to Kuang Sheng I was very curious when I got this news all of a sudden.

No matter what channel Kuang Sheng got the news from, having such an intelligence source and collection ability is enough to make people look at him, or rather, make him fearful.

Therefore, after initially confirming the scope of the explosion and their own safety, many people moved closer to the Kuang family, wanting to see if they could get more information from Kuang Sheng.

However, the guards brought by Kuang's family protected the Patriarch and the Young Master in the middle, making an airtight enclosure, apparently as if they did not welcome other people to disturb them.

Seeing this situation, even though everyone still wanted to test something, after all, they had just followed Kuang Sheng's warning and came back with their lives, and they still thought about having other cooperation with the Kuang family in the future, so they would greet each other a little After saying thank you, he simply left with his own team and went back to tidy up again.

But some people want to express their gratitude, and naturally some people are even more afraid of the Kuang family.

And the most irritating thing among them is naturally the Patriarch of the Wu family who organized this meeting, but was abruptly interrupted at this juncture.

"Master Wu..." At this time, several families headed by the Wu family also gathered together, watching the crazy scene in the royal garden with concern.

Although they did have doubts, the Patriarch of the Wu family stood up and left directly after waiting for a while. They naturally followed up immediately and left the table one after another, having doubts in their hearts.

Fortunately, they left quickly enough, unlike the last few who believed that nothing would happen and stayed until the end...

Although thinking about it, I am afraid that the heads of each family have their own means to save their lives, but in such an unexpected situation, facing such a terrifying explosion of the power of the star sea, I am afraid... more ominous than good.

At this time, Wu Ti, the Patriarch of the Wu family, finally recovered from the scene in front of him.

His face was solemn, and his eyes swept over the people in front of him one by one.

The patriarchs of two eight-family families, and the patriarchs of six or seven small families.

These people look at all the current forces, although they are not that huge, but they are also entangled with a not-so-small force.

Wu Ti's gloomy gaze swept over the group of people one by one, and finally stopped on the Patriarch of the Zhang family.

The Patriarch of this family is about five or sixty years old, but compared to other Patriarchs, he looks older, his back is slightly bent, and he looks timid and fearful.

As soon as Wu Ti saw his timid appearance, he couldn't help but get angry.

Because of this appearance, he is too familiar, too familiar - this is exactly the appearance he showed in front of Jiang Shuo and Zhou Zhuo when he was dormant for many years.

Useless!Frustrated!

Thinking about the fact that this guy seemed to have slipped away so fast in the meeting room just now, and left before him, Wu Ti felt even more annoyed.

"Zhang Li..." Wu Ti said in a deep voice, wrapped in a trace of anger, "You left very quickly just now?"

When his name was called, the Patriarch of the Zhang Family's back seemed to be pressed down by a heavy brick again, bending a bit again.

Everyone's eyes turned to him, only to see that he stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his brow, smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Haha, this, Mr. Wu... I'm old, It's not like the heads of the family who are so fierce and fierce, who are more concerned about their own lives, and let the grown-ups see a joke, really, alas, really lose my old face!"

The atmosphere was still very tense, and with Wu Ti's angry question, the whole space seemed to gather a low pressure.

However, as soon as Zhang Li's dramatic and down-to-earth speech came out, everyone immediately looked at me and I looked at you, and they all found the feeling of holding back their smiles on each other's faces.

Some even couldn't hold back their laughter, so they had to cough a few times to cover up their embarrassment.

Wu Ti's complexion also eased, and he laughed twice, "Oh?"

"Oh, old, old, useless." Zhang Li didn't seem to mind his embarrassment being seen, and sighed very calmly, with a skinless and shameless appearance.

It's just that although his appearance is really boring, it is indeed difficult for people to raise any precautions and guard against him.

Forget it, Wu Ti groaned in his heart, and then asked, "What do you all think about today's matter?"

Wu Ti glanced past the confused or thoughtful faces of the crowd, and felt a little irony in his heart. This feeling as if the emperor was listening to the government greatly satisfied his desire.

Although the number of "officials" is still relatively small at the moment, but when he really wins the power of the entire empire, those guys who were only a head shorter than him in the past, or even sitting on an equal footing with him, will be left with only two. options.

Or, bow down to him and become a part of this group of ministers.

Or, just bite the bullet and be sent to the guillotine by him, directly ruining his life.

Thinking of this, Wu Ti couldn't help showing a slightly relieved smile.

Seeing that it was his turn to speak, Zhang Li knew that he had nothing to do.He nodded and smiled at Wu Ti, bowed his hands, stepped back two steps, and buried himself in the crowd again.

Where Wu Ti couldn't see, Zhang Li folded his arms around his chest, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

Today's incident is really strange...

However, let's see what these people have to say.

Everyone who was swept by Wu Ti's eyes seemed to be very conscious of being "officials".

After thinking for a while, one person stepped forward and said, "Master Wu, today's matter... I think it is very likely that it is a conspiracy by the Jiang family or the Zhou family!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes gathered.

This is an incredible "explosive theory", and he neither called the marshal nor the emperor, but directly said "Zhou family" and "Jiang family", which shows that he has completely ignored these two families Heart and heart.

Although every family has vaguely shown this kind of momentum recently, but this person is the first to say it so directly.

However, this just happened to coincide with Wu Ti's thoughts. There was a flash of approval in his eyes, and he raised his hand to encourage him: "Keep talking."

The man also nodded as if he was greatly encouraged, "Yes! Ladies and gentlemen, think about it! Although the royal family is declining now, and the Marshal is in the name of the so-called Marshal, he is actually allowing the various families to develop indiscriminately. Letting the people in some places live in poverty, it is really despicable to be in the position but not to manage the government!"

What he said was a bit harsh, but it was also an indisputable fact.

Various powerful families compete for resources. Although there are still a few who really fight on the surface, the momentum of all parties has intensified.

Without the support of the royal family and marshals, each family became more bold and unscrupulous.

In fact, everyone knew very well that with Zhou Zhuo's means and strength, coupled with the force and configuration of Zhou's family army, even among the four sects, his Zhou family was the only one.

If the Zhou family also wants to participate in this power struggle, I am afraid that no one will be the opponent of the Zhou family.

In fact, it was the high status of the Zhou family that gave them the opportunity to develop rapidly.

But at this moment, if you go up first and label Zhou Zhuo as unfavorable, wouldn't it just be able to point the finger at everyone and eliminate their internal differences and opinions.

"Originally, you may all be like me, thinking that this marshal just has no interest in the throne, so you stick to one side, and are ready to wait for other aristocratic families to compete for you and me... But now let's see, is the situation really like this? ?! I'm afraid he is trying to gain fame, and he doesn't want to lose his face to fight for this position, and he wants to wait for us to invite him and promote him!"

"This..." Hearing this, some people could not help whispering.

"Otherwise, apart from the Zhou family army who has been stationed in the palace, who else has the time and energy to lay out such a situation, just waiting to wipe out the helmsmen of our aristocratic families?!" The man raised his voice again, looking very imposing .

"But...he didn't know in advance that we would choose to hold the meeting here?" Someone retorted cautiously, "When we organized the meeting and wrote to the marshal, we only said that we wanted to hold the meeting in the imperial city out of respect, but because He immediately stated directly that he would not participate, so he didn't notify the specific content, so, he probably doesn't know where our meeting is, right?"

"Nonsense!" The speaker immediately retorted, "How could he not know?! There are only a few suitable places for meetings in the imperial city. As long as he arranges them all, then no matter which one we choose for the meeting One place, there is no way to escape his trap!"

"But why did Kuang Sheng come out to remind everyone?" Another person raised doubts, "The relationship between the Kuang family and the Zhou family is not close, or in other words, the four sects are relatively neutral. Since he wanted to catch them all, why did he give the Kuang family a chance? Moreover, Kuang Sheng announced the news directly on the spot. This is good, except for the last few guys who don't know what happened, everyone else also came out. "

"This..." The man couldn't think of any reason for a while, but he refused to give up his argument, and said stubbornly: "There must be something we don't know about it, otherwise you say you, this matter If it wasn't for Zhou Zhuo's main force, who else could do it?"

Hearing this man's nonsense for a while, Zhang Li laughed in his heart.

These guys who only know how to flatter, I'm afraid that if something happens, it will make Wu Ti the first person to abandon... It's not that Wu Ti is really short of people, I'm afraid that now he can't wait to kick himself out of his so-called camp.

Zhang Li's eyes were dark. Two years had passed since the gate of the ancient ruins was damaged. His most beloved son, who was also the most talented, thoughtful and capable son in the whole family, was inside.

Of course, it wasn't just the Zhang family that suffered such a loss, the fourth son of the Song family, who was astonishingly talented, and Kuang Sheng, the most incompetent younger brother in legend, were also among them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Li narrowed his eyes.

The first person to respond today was Kuang Sheng, and the first to respond to Kuang Sheng's warning was Song Ling, the eldest sister of the Song family.

Could it be...

For a moment, Zhang Li had a bold guess in his mind.

However, he knew better that although this kind of speculation is gratifying, it is also a bit too far-fetched.

He still needs more information before he can make a real judgment.

But right now, Zhang Li can only conclude that there must be some reason behind this incident that none of these people can guess.

Suppressing the joy in his heart calmly, Zhang Li continued to listen to the high-spirited talk of the person who spoke at the beginning.

He was obviously saying something that he didn't really believe, and it was purely to cater to Wu Ti.

And obviously, Wu Ti obviously knew that he was just talking nonsense.

However, perhaps it was because of forbearance for too long and suppressed his own nature for too long, even though Wu Ti knew that the man was just talking nonsense, he still couldn't help but listen with gusto, and his eyes shone with satisfaction.

Anyway, he is a wise king himself, so it doesn't hurt to listen to the flattery of the fools below.

What's more, this person is still attacking Jiang Shuo and Zhou Zhuo, whom no one has dared to really attack, which really makes Wu Ti very happy.

"Alas..." Too lazy to listen to this man's nonsense, Zhang Li turned his gaze to the royal garden that was still under explosion.

I saw a beam of majestic star power soaring into the sky, but after overturning all the obstacles in front of it, it no longer spread to the side, but only kept rushing towards the sky, just like a door constantly Fires the outgoing laser cannon.

Such a powerful force of the star sea... can it really be done by humans?

If Zhou Zhuo really had such a weapon, why would he use such a terrible weapon to deal with them, the patriarchs of the family, at this time and on this occasion?

Unlike others, Song Ling was let in smoothly when he went to Kuang's house to visit and inquire.

But she was the only one, and the accompanying attendants were stopped outside and guarded tightly, not allowed to get close.

This attendant was probably in his early thirties, and he often followed Song Ling on weekdays, and they all looked shrewd and capable.

And today I don't know if I was frightened by the explosion just now, but this time I didn't insist on going in with Song Ling to meet Kuang Sheng, but stayed outside, looking at the sky-high A huge source of explosion.

This is a power he has never seen before, and it is far more powerful than some of the forces that are manipulating him now!If, if he possesses such power, even if he just borrows a little bit, can he get rid of the current situation of being controlled by others?

The entourage stared at the boiling sea of ​​stars for a long time, and some beliefs in his heart began to shake violently.

Song Ling, on the other hand, walked into the encirclement circle of Kuang family guards under his leadership, and came to Kuang Sheng's side.

The Patriarch of the Kuang family shot out an enchantment, and then nodded to Song Ling.

Song Ling's expression also became more serious and solemn. Since the Kuang family even opened the barrier, it must be very important to communicate with her that must not be leaked.

And then, a scene that surprised Song Ling even more appeared.

After setting up the barrier, the Patriarch of the Kuang family went out directly through the barrier—as the owner of the barrier, he could naturally pass through his own barrier at will.

But in this way, only Kuang Sheng and Song Ling were left in the foggy barrier.

The atmosphere became a little ambiguous for a while, Song Ling looked at Kuang Sheng in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Some things, I want to talk to you alone, Song Ling." Kuang Sheng raised his eyes, looking directly at Song Ling.

Song Ling felt that his heartbeat was slightly wrong.

But after all, she has experienced all kinds of storms, and she quickly calmed down, and also stared at Kuang Sheng.

Kuang Sheng sighed slightly, sat down on the grass in the barrier, patted the place beside him, and signaled Song Ling to sit down.

"Two years ago, when you first approached me to cooperate, you said there were two reasons. One was because Song Xiang and Wanwan had a very good relationship, and you didn't want to make enemies with the Kuang family. Among them, you think that Song and Kuang are relatively weakest militarily and are easily attacked and replaced, so they should unite.

Originally, when Kuang Sheng first opened his mouth, Song Ling thought he had some very serious topic to bring up.

As soon as the words came out, I didn't expect it to be like this.

Song Ling also relaxed a bit, sat down beside Kuang Sheng, and said with a smile, "Third, why didn't you say it? Third, because I can see that the Zhou family doesn't seem to intend to get involved in these matters, and the Patriarch of the Wu family makes me feel bad , far less close and talkative than people of the same age like you and me... Don't laugh, this is obviously a very important reason."

Kuang Sheng shook his head with a helpless smile, "What you said is almost as good as deceiving those recruits in the army who have no intentions and admire you very much. This kind of trick is useless to me."

Song Ling smiled heartily, "Since it doesn't work for you, it's not a trick, it's just my sincere words."

A gentle smile flashed in Kuang Sheng's eyes.

Yes, this kind of tactic was indeed useless to him, but he had to admit that it was very useful to him.At least, I feel very happy.

"Actually, the two you mentioned... well, three." Kuang Sheng met Song Ling's gaze and said with a smile, "Actually, none of the three reasons you mentioned moved me at all."

"Of course." Song Ling didn't look discouraged or depressed at all, "Isn't this normal?"

Song Ling, who did not follow the routine twice, made Kuang Sheng a little surprised and surprised, and also aroused more interest, "Then you guess, why did I agree to cooperate with you?"

"Why should I guess?" Song Ling shrugged with a smile, "Anyway, my goal has been achieved, and this is the result, isn't it?"

"You are really..." Kuang Sheng pursed the corners of his lips, "Why is it different from the past?"

"Ha..." Song Ling raised a bright smile, "Because although you haven't told me yet, I already guessed part of it. If he comes back, many things will be different."

Kuang Sheng looked at Song Ling in surprise, and this action made Song Ling more sure of his guess.

"Looks like I guessed right, doesn't it?"

"Yes." Now that he had been guessed right, Kuang Sheng admitted directly, "And... you really made me feel very different today, I really didn't expect..." Kuang Sheng couldn't help it. Zhu Zai took a good look at Song Ling.

The calmness and indifference that were most obvious on her body that were suppressed by force disappeared at this moment, replaced by a face full of vitality and youthful vigor.

Yes, in fact, they are all only about 25 years old now, when they were young, but under the influence of chaotic wars in the past two years, they have become young and mature, and each of them has become more serious.

This kind of Song Ling made him feel very fresh...full of attraction.

"So, you came to me because you wanted to talk about it?" Song Ling brought the topic back on track.

"Yes." Kuang Sheng admitted, "First of all, I do have some new, or more comprehensive information. And I bet that this information will be of great interest to many aristocratic families. I think this is Zhang Good card."

"However, playing cards alone is a bit difficult after all, isn't it?" Song Ling asked back.

Approval flashed in Kuang Sheng's eyes, "I found out for the first time today...you're so smart that it's heart-pounding."

"Then let's see if your news has any bargaining chips to make my heart move."
