Suddenly!

A wind blew across the dark alley, making a rustling sound.

At this moment, a ghostly figure walked out from the darkness in the distance.

He walked to a sycamore tree and looked left and right. After he was sure that no one was following him, he learned from the sound of the gurgling bird and cried twice.

If Du Yidao were here, he would definitely be able to recognize this figure at a glance. This figure was the chief military advisor of their Du family, Cao Bin!

Cao Bin's bird chirping was still echoing in the air, and a woman wearing a black gauze dress and wearing a black gauze gently pushed away the sycamore tree and floated down.

Seeing the woman coming, Cao Bin immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"I have met the princess after Cao Bin!"

This girl in black, like Gu Qingcheng, is also a princess.

However, she was not the princess of the Gu family, but the princess of the Xia family in the previous dynasty, named Xia Ning'er.

A hundred years ago, the Xia family was still the owner of this land.

At that time, there were not four major families.

But five major families!

The Xia family is respected!

However, a hundred years ago, the Gu family took advantage of his grandfather's death, his father and brother were incompetent, and the family had no successors, and they united with the other three major families to snatch the Xia family's territory.

Xia Ning'er looked at Cao Bin in front of her and asked expressionlessly: "Sir, how are the matter arranged?"

Cao Bin bowed and replied: "If you go back to the princess, everything has been arranged!"

Xia Ning'er nodded with satisfaction: "Sir, I have always been very relieved to do things."

"By the way, do you know that casual cultivator Li Chen?"

Cao Bin paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "Then Li Chen was brought by Chen Xuanli of the Zhou family, and it only took a few days to come to the royal city. All the information about him is still blank at the moment!"

Xia Ning'er pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, do you think the Zhou family wants to follow the example of the Gu family and become the overlord here?"

Cao Bin thought about it and replied: "There is a possibility, but the situation is not very clear at the moment, so it is hard for subordinates to make arbitrary assertions!"

Xia Ning'er didn't get the exact answer, and Dai'er couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Then she whirled the dimples lightly and asked, "Is it possible to fight him over?"

Cao Bin paused for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's very difficult. This person is extremely arrogant. Even the royal family Gu family probably didn't take it seriously!"

After hearing the negative answer, a hint of gloom appeared in Xia Ning'er's deep and bright eyes.

"Okay, I'm sorry, you go and do it!"

Cao Bin heard that Xia Ning'er was tired in his tone. He wanted to comfort him, but when the words were at his mouth, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he forced him to swallow it back.

"Princess, my subordinates leave!"

After watching Cao Bin disappear into the darkness, Xia Ning'er leaned dejectedly on the sycamore tree, with a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, looking up at the sky.

At this time, a gust of night wind suddenly blew, making her tremble.

Xia Ning'er held her arms with her hands and quietly enjoyed this endless loneliness.

At this moment, she needs a shoulder to rely on.

But my father and brother are incompetent, and their vast country is completely ruined.

The national hatred and family hatred made her a weak woman have to face it with her strong strength.

After stopping in the dark for a long time, Xia Ning'er then took out a piece of tortoise shell from her body.

There are faint stars lingering on the tortoise shell. If you look closely, you can also see the mottled patterns on it.

This is one of the tortoise shell fragments in the Beichen Emperor Cave.

If you want to restore the country and take revenge, you can only enter the imperial cave and obtain the inheritance and treasures therein.

Unfortunately, she only has one piece in her hand. If she wants to get the remaining six pieces and combine them into one, she doesn’t know it’s the year of the monkey and horse month.

At the same time, the Zhou family:

After the Tianjiao Banquet ended, Li Chen took Ji Ling'er back here.

He did not explain Zhou Zheng at all about the matter at the banquet, and went straight to his room as if nothing had happened.

However, this caused a stir for the entire Zhou family.

The old fox Zhou Zheng keenly realized that this matter was definitely not that simple, and the Du family would never give up.

Therefore, he convened senior members of the family overnight to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the next response.

The senior executives of the Zhou family, especially those worshippers, were very dissatisfied with Li Chen, a young and frivolous cultivator who was ignorant and ignorant.

Especially when they heard the prince Zhou Ao, they added fuel to the fire and told Li Chen about the story of Tianjiao Banquet, they even led everyone's dissatisfaction to Gao Chao.

Soon, most of the senior executives reached a unified consensus and expelled Li Chen!

Chen Xuanli, the only one, objected to this.

Although Chen Xuanli was highly respected in the Zhou family, he was alone and weak and could not resist the trend of the general trend.

Although Zhou Zheng did not want to expel Li Chen, the general trend in front of him could not go against the trend.

After Zhou Zheng and Chen Xuanli made a brief discussion, he came forward to negotiate with Li Chen.

Seeing Chen Xuanli with an apology, Li Chen had already guessed what he was going to do.

He didn't say anything extra nonsense about this and nodded immediately.

"Okay, I get it!"

Then, Li Chen turned sideways and shouted behind him.

"Ling'er, let's go!"

At this moment, Chen Xuanli suddenly stepped forward and blocked Li Chen's way.

Seeing this, Li Chen frowned slightly and asked, "What, is there anything else?"

Chen Xuanli hesitated for a moment and said, "My friend Li Chen, I have a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not!"

Li Chen stared at Chen Xuanli for a while and said coldly: "Since you don't know, if you don't speak, why should you ask me if you don't?"

"Well!"

Chen Xuanli was speechless by Li Chen's words. He gritted his teeth and said with a thick face:

"My friend Li Chen, our Zhou family is willing to spend a high price to buy the tortoise shell fragment in your hand. Moreover, it will also ensure the personal safety of you and Miss Ling'er. We will never let the Du family members hurt you a piece of hair, look..."

When he said this, Chen Xuanli didn't continue. His somewhat turbid eyes flashed with light of expectation, looking at Li Chen quietly.

Li Chen sneered coldly and asked back: "Is your Zhou family trying to take advantage of the situation?"

Chen Xuanli shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, Li Chen, you misunderstood. But this saying goes: A man is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure. I am just worried that that thing may cause some covetousness and bring you a disaster!"

Hearing Chen Xuanli's words, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen's mouth.

"I wonder if the slut in Chen's mouth includes your Zhou family?"
