If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 467 Everyone Was Dragged Into the Water
"Your Highness, why did you let him go back to Juxian Pavilion again?"

Master Xiang Tian had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but he didn't speak anxiously until Master Yu's back disappeared behind the screen wall.

"Your Highness is right. We should combine our forces and nip the 'what if' in the bud. He should go and help Wen Danxia!"

Li Rongji had a gloomy face and asked, "Why didn't Yaochan just attack directly? He obviously has the power of a true immortal, and it would be easy for him to kill Yu Fengxian without any mistakes. Why did he have to go through so much trouble, first tempting Wen Danxia to join the water, and then plotting against me?"
Wouldn't it be more heart-warming to just kill the most hated enemy and take revenge?"

Tianshi Xiang looked at the prince with some confusion, "Didn't he tell you the reason last night?

He is the servant of Elder Jin Chanzi of Lingshan, and has the obvious mark of Lingshan on his body.

Directly killing Yu Fengxian would cause considerable trouble to Lingshan.

Especially Yu Fengxian recast the sword bone.

Even Shangbang Sword Immortal's 'hiding the sword in the body' technique could not break her sword bones. Even if Yaochan attacked directly, he might not be able to kill her in one move.

Once the fight breaks out in Yingxiang Mansion, the people of the whole city will be watching. She cannot hide the Buddha's light on her body, and Yu Fengxian will shout a few more random words, like "Jin Chanzi is killing people" or "Tathagata Buddha wants to kill her". The bad impact on her reputation will be too great.

The Lingshan Buddha is bright and majestic, and he certainly does not want to ruin his reputation.

Then the demon cicada will have to take the blame.

If the demon cicada becomes a scapegoat, it is not impossible that he will be beaten to death in public by the Buddha. "

Even if Yaochan didn't say these words, Li Rongji and the others could analyze them themselves with some time.

But these words were indeed spoken by Yao Chan to Lee Young-kee when she met him last night, to show her sincerity.

Only if he gives up the evidence first, will Lee Young-ji be able to trust him. And because Yao Chan was too frank last night and the evidence was too obvious, Lee Young-ji fell into the trap.

"Since you understand everything, why are you still asking me why I let him go back to Juxian Pavilion?" Li Rongji said coldly: "Of course I hope he will go straight to the end and become Wen Danxia's trump card.

But he would never take direct action until the last moment.

Even if he leaves Yonghe Palace now, even if he sees Wen Danxia fail with his own eyes, he will definitely remain unmoved and let me and Yonghe Palace take over."

"Ah, he agreed on the surface, but still plotted against Your Highness behind his back?" Master Xiang Tian was shocked.

"Do you trust him so much that you believe he is willing to take the risk of being used as a scapegoat by the Buddha for me?" Li Rongji glanced at him.

"Of course I don't trust him, not at all. What should we do now? If we let him go to help Wen Danxia, ​​he will be idle; if we let him stay in Yonghe Palace, we will still be held hostage.

It is possible that after Wen Danxia failed, the Eight Immortals of the West took the initiative to tell Yu Fengxian that the demon cicada was in Yonghe Palace. "Xiang Tianshi said anxiously.

Li Rongji was silent for a moment, then said, "Go and call Li Anmin over."

Li Anmin was a commoner and the prince's confidant. He should have come here earlier to accompany Li Rongji.

But last night, Li Anmin's "frank advice" offended Li Rongji, and Li Anmin himself was a little discouraged.

Xiang Tianshi had no intention of competing for favor with Li Anmin.

He is indeed not good at this kind of conspiracy and calculation.

After a while, Li Anmin was brought over by him.

The condition of the common people is even worse than that of Li Rongji.

Not only did he not sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he had not washed his face this morning. His beard was dirty and messy, and there were two lumps of pus-yellow eye boogers in the corners of his eyes.

Li Rongji sat in a high position, drinking tea silently. Xiang Tianshi came forward and gave a general introduction to the situation.

There was deep resentment in Li Anmin's eyes when he looked at Li Rongji, but he did not complain any more.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Yao Chan probably wouldn't tell Yu Fengxian that he is in Yonghe Palace.

Yu Fengxian may seem reckless, but she is actually very careful and cautious.

She never messes with people she can't afford to mess with.

After learning that Yaochan was in Yonghe Palace, did she hate His Highness?

Of course she hates him. She must think that His Highness has joined forces with Yao Chan and will regard His Highness as a great enemy.

But she didn't dare to come to Yonghe Palace. Instead, she would avoid Yonghe Palace or even run away directly.

If I'm not mistaken, once Guan Chenghuang fails, he will definitely run to Yonghe Palace.

He is the City God, and cannot defeat Yu Fengxian, and no one can stop him from escaping.

In the matter of dragging His Highness and the Li family into this, Guan Chenghuang and Yaochan are allies. "

Master Xiang Tian said angrily, "We can't let the Guan family and Yaochan get what they want."

Li Anmin said coldly: "Then we have to turn back time to yesterday evening, directly reject the demon cicada and pretend that we know nothing."

Li Rongji said calmly: “Anmin, you are very smart, but you still underestimate the power of supernatural powers.

The demon cicada is an enemy with ulterior motives, but also a person with great supernatural powers.

Faced with such a powerful person, even if King Uncle Qinghe were here, he would open the door and welcome him in person.

Because if a person with great supernatural powers wants to do something bad, the threat will be too great.

All strategies are based on strength.

I am unwilling to risk my life, do you think Wen Danxia is willing to gamble her family's lives?

None of us want to.

But once the evil cicada entered the city and came looking for us, we would not allow it to be rejected.

Wen Danxia and Gu were both powerful superiors who had done similar things before, forcing others to follow their will.

Going against our will carries a greater cost, whereas obedience can bring great benefits.

She understood, so she made the best choice without hesitation.

After seeing Yaochan, I realized that I actually had no other choice. "

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and helplessly, "After all, the martial arts world is not all about fighting and killing.

What's more, we are not gangsters.

You rejected him bluntly, refused to meet him or talk to him, and completely humiliated him. Do you think he can't continue to plot against us?

Maybe his hatred will be transferred from Yu Fengxian to us.

For example, he could have sent a message to Yu Fengxian - kill me as a token of your loyalty, and Xi Baxian will no longer trouble her."

Li Anmin's expression changed, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Yu Fengxian is not a fool."

Li Rongji said calmly: "Of course she is not stupid.

She is just a helpless, homeless, countryless and unattached savage.

Now Zhao Zhen died because of her, and He Xuan was beheaded by her.

In the matter of the demon cicada, the Qin Dynasty did not show any generosity or responsibility. Apart from the former position of the City God, it did not give her any benefits.

Why would she, a shrewd and stubborn girl, insist on going down the same path to the end?
If you were Yu Fengxian, with the direct oppression of the Western Lingshan Mountain on one side and the indifference of the distant Qin court on the other, what would you choose?

Even our Li family wants to defect, but it's impossible.

Do you expect a Shaman to be willing to sacrifice his life for the Qin Dynasty and never regret it until his death?"

Li Anmin murmured, "The Eight Immortals of the West and the Feather Phoenix Immortal have an irreconcilable feud. The demon cicada cannot let the Eight Immortals of the West down."

Li Rongji sighed, "Among my followers, people like Leng Aotian and Wufu Wenjun also have an irreconcilable feud with Yu Fengxian.

For the sake of the overall situation, Gu Bu Yi has been trying to win over Yu Fengxian and tolerate her various rudeness and rebelliousness?
Could it be that the demon cicada’s temperament is not as good as mine?

He just has powerful supernatural powers and all the great power belongs to himself. He has more choices and can choose not to put himself in a difficult position.

Even if I had the power of immortals or Buddhas, I would not compromise.

When Yu Fengxian was killing Wu Daoren's Yin spirit, she beat her to death.

The weak can only consider the overall situation, while the strong are the overall situation itself.

I have poor talent and don’t even have the power of a human immortal. Alas~~~"

Li Anmin said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, let's leave Yingxiang Mansion now and leave quietly."

Li Rongji was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Running away directly, although you can't overturn the chessboard, you can escape from it.
"I am the prince! I can die, but I cannot be scared away by a mere Yu Fengxian."

Li Rongji said coldly: "Now we are all talking about 'what if the Guan family fails', as if the game of Yingxiang Mansion is doomed to be disastrous for the Guan family.

Don't forget, a hundred years ago, Guan Chenghuang became famous in Yingxiang Prefecture. He was first a miracle doctor, then a county city god, and finally the landlord of Yingxiang Prefecture.

He is cautious by nature. Once he makes up his mind to do something, he has never failed.

Now we have the best of time, place and people, and we can use our strength to bully the weak.

No matter how you look at it, Guan Chenghuang has the highest chance of winning. The advantage lies with Guan Chenghuang, and the advantage lies with us!"

"Of course I trust Guan Chenghuang's ability, but I'd rather be safe than sorry!" said Li Anmin.

Li Rongji asked, "You want me to leave now. Are you leaving alone? Those retainers, why do you think they are stationed at Yonghe Palace today?"

With ghosts and gods around, it is impossible to leave quietly.

If he was discovered leaving alone, the demon cicada would slap him to death as soon as he walked out of the city gate.

Yaochan only cooperated with him for the common benefit of "killing Yu Fengxian".

They are always enemies.

Li Anmin asked, "If you don't withdraw, how do you plan to break the impasse?"

"Break the situation with force!" Li Rongji took off the jade token from his waist and threw it into Li Anmin's arms, saying calmly, "In the name of preventing evil spirits, mobilize the 'Southeast Navy' in the upper reaches of the Black Dragon River to the river outside Yonghe Palace."

Xiang Tianshi reminded: "Your Highness, Yu Fengxian seems to be diving in the river right now, and she might be discovered."

Li Rongji said, "If she wasn't very good at diving and there were signs that she was escaping through the river, why would I mobilize the Southeast Navy? The mobilization of a large army would make a lot of noise, so we don't have to worry about being discovered."

"Ah, Your Highness is going to attack the Feather Phoenix Fairy in the river?" Xiang Tianshi asked in surprise.

"Be prepared to avoid danger." said Li Rongji.

Xiang Tianshi showed a worried look on his face, "Your Highness's determination to strengthen his strength and fight against Yu Fengxian at this time is exactly what Yaochan expected."

Li Rongji sighed, "I know, but if I want to break the situation with force, I must have the power that makes them all afraid.

Only words spoken by powerful people will be taken seriously.

If I have no power, whatever I say will sound like I am quibbling or begging for mercy.

I am not a lamb to be manipulated by anyone.

In Xishu, in Yingxiang Mansion, I am the master, the sitting dragon, and both Yaochan and Yufengxian must realize this!"

Li Anmin sighed and said, "Your Highness, our Li family should not have anything to do with Yu Fengxian."

Li Rongji said impatiently: "Yao Chan at least didn't lie about one thing, Yu Fengxian looked at me with murderous intent in her eyes!
It was she who wanted to kill me, so did I deserve to be killed?
Of course, I don't need to hide my feelings from you. I have wanted to kill her for a long time.

In terms of her having no chance of escaping death and having to die today, I and Yaochan are allies!"

"But--"

"No buts!" Li Rongji waved his hand violently, interrupting Zhong Shuren's words rudely, "Li Anmin, don't you see it yet?

At this point, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.

Wen Danxia decided to take action last night, but she just didn't find the opportunity.

Do you think she won't find an opportunity today?

If there is no opportunity, she will create it.

Time waits for no one. As soon as Shaoyao died, Yu Fengxian buried her in a hurry without even a day's rest.

She left Tianmen Town either last night or tonight!
I dare say that Wen Danxia has already started to act.

If not, why did Yaochan confess his plan just now and force me to make plans in case the Guan family fails? "

Yingxiang Mansion, Wen family, and "Hui Xitang" where old lady Guan lived.

"Pa~~" City God Guan slapped the "True Yuan Realm Boss" and made him stagger. He staggered back several steps and retreated to the side of Old Lady Guan. Well, this was obviously a strategic retreat.

"Dad, let's talk nicely. Why do you hit the child?" Old Lady Guan held her 500-month-old "child" in her arms, her face full of love and heartache.

Looking at the white-haired "old little daughter", Guan Chenghuang's anger, which was about to burst out, dissipated a little in an instant, and turned from anger into helplessness and depression.

"This bitch will sooner or later kill our Guan family, and will also kill your Wen family." He pointed at Wen Danxia who was leaning on the old lady's chest "pretending to be a grandson" and cursed.

Old Lady Guan sighed, "Daddy, please don't say things like 'our Guan family' or 'your Wen family'.

We are all one family. We prosper together and suffer together. If anything really happens, no one can escape.

This principle is easy to understand, and Danxia must know it.

Please be patient and listen to her explanation slowly."

"What else is there to explain? It's already happened, what's the point of explaining?" Guan Chenghuang's eyes were blazing with fire, "It's hateful that I, as the city god of a prefecture, am the last one to know about this.

Everyone is hiding it from me. My living children and grandchildren are hiding it from me. Even the ghosts and gods in the City God Temple are hiding it from me.

If I were really killed by Yu Fengxian's sword, I would not blame her, I would only blame you. "
