Chapter 787: The Great Elder of the Xinghui Clan
The person who came had long hair and his appearance gave people a sense of stability, but at this time, because of his anger, it brought strong pressure to people. |^This kind of coercion was so strong that all the royal guards did not dare to move forward.
"Elder Lan Hai?" Yue Mingguang looked at the man in the sky, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Your Majesty!" The other party also realized his courtesy at this time, hurriedly landed from the air, and knelt down on one knee on the altar facing the bright moonlight.
"The matter is urgent, so I disregard the etiquette and ask your Majesty to punish me!" he said loudly.
"Please get up quickly." Yue Mingguang hurriedly helped him up personally. "Elder Lan Hai, it is a blessing for the empire that you can return to the empire! How dare I punish you?" [
He laughed while talking, and his attitude was extremely kind.
"Who is this?" Shen Zheng asked the followers around him in a low voice. The entourage was brought by him from the Jazz Mansion, and he knew a lot about the empire.
"It's Xinghui Lanhai, the chief elder of Master Zi Yuanchang's husband's Xinghui family." The entourage replied, "It was him who handed over the entire Xinghui family to Master Zi Yuanchang after the death of Master Zi Yuanchang's ex-husband. , integrated into the current Purple Star. It is said that he is very powerful. Even the legendary Marshal Ming Yuebai of the current empire is probably only on par with him. "
"He is such a powerful person?" Shen Zheng couldn't help but feel something in his heart and looked at the sea of stars.
"Elder Lanhai!" Zi Yuanchang couldn't help but get excited and hurriedly rushed forward. "Why haven't you come back to see us after all these years? Have you forgotten us all?"
As he spoke, his eye circles were slightly red.
Xinghui Lanhai looked at Zi Yuanshang with complicated eyes. He raised his head and looked at Qiu Jiu, but his eyes became unkind.
"Who are you?" he asked coldly.
"The head of the Qiukongzhiguang family, Qiu Jiu." Qiu Jiu answered respectfully. "I have heard Yuan Shang say that you have given her personal help and you are the person she respects and appreciates the most."
"Respect? Gratitude?" Xinghui Lanhai smiled and looked at Zi Yuanshang with reproach in his eyes. "Yuan Shang, are you so grateful to me? What did you promise me when I handed over the Xinghui family to you?"
"Let the light of the Xinghui clan shine on the sea of stars forever." Zi Yuanchang said.
"What about now?" Xinghui Lanhai became excited and pointed at Qiu Jiu. "Now, you actually want to remarry this man and hand over the entire Purple Star to someone else's hands. Let me ask you, does your original oath count? I handed over the Xinghui family to you for what reason? Is it to be merged into the light of the autumn sky again? "
"Elder Lanhai..." Zi Yuanchang looked at Xinghui Lanhai and said for a moment. |^She lowered her head, tears rolling out of her eyes, but she didn't know how to answer the elder.
He had been gone for so long that Zi Yuanchang had forgotten her original promise to him. For this, she felt ashamed.
"Elder Lanhai, this is not to blame Master Zi Yuanshang." Yue Mingguang hurriedly came over to explain, "All of this is the emperor's intention. Yuanshang has suffered a lot for the family for so many years, so he should... "
"Your Majesty." Xing Hui Lanhai interrupted Yue Mingguang's words with a gloomy face. "This matter is Ziguang Xinghui's family matter. Your Majesty, please don't interfere too much, right?"
"This..." Yue Mingguang was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Yuan Shang, I want you to say something today - does your original oath still count?" Xinghui Lanhai stared at Zi Yuanshang closely.
"I..." Zi Yuanchang raised his head and looked at the sea of stars with tearful eyes. From the other person's eyes, she only saw anger and determination. [
She turned to Qiu Jiu again and looked at him. Scenes from the past appeared in her mind, and she thought she would finally get happiness, but at the end, she found that she would miss it.
"Blame, I..." She choked, not knowing how to speak.
"Elder Xinghui Lanhai, right?" At this moment, Shen Zheng's voice sounded. He, who had been standing under the altar, slowly walked up to the altar and came to the side of everyone.
"Who are you?" Xinghui Lanhai looked sideways at Shen Zheng with a look of disdain.
"I am a friend of Family Master Qiu and Sister Zi, Shen Zheng." Shen Zheng said slowly.
"Never heard of it." Xinghui Lanhai snorted coldly. "Where is this new kid? When you meet this elder, you don't know how to bow your head respectfully and say hello, okay?"
"I've met Elder Lan Hai." Shen Zheng bowed slightly and saluted him.
"That's pretty much it." Xinghui Lanhai said. "what do you want to say?"
"They are getting married, and it was me who facilitated it." Shen Zheng responded calmly.
"What?" Immediately, Xinghui Lanhai's eyes lit up with fire. He stared at Shen Zheng, walked forward slowly, came very close to Shen Zheng, and asked coldly: "Say it again?"
"I personally facilitated their marriage." Shen Zheng said.
"Shen Zheng!" Zi Yuanchang was anxious and hurriedly stood in front of him. "Elder Lan Hai, don't listen to his nonsense. How could he..."
"I remembered." Xinghui Lanhai narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Zheng, "I heard that a new big force has risen in the empire, called the Holy Alliance. As soon as it appeared, it cooperated with the Light of the Autumn Sky to eliminate and annex He killed another family and brought a disaster of war to the empire. It is said that the leader of the holy alliance is you? "
"Yes, it's me." Shen Zheng nodded slowly. "I don't want to get entangled with you. Since you came back to stop their wedding, let's talk about this matter. You said that this matter is Ziguang Xinghui's family matter, and His Majesty has the right to intervene, so I want to say "This matter is a private matter between Qiu Jiu and Zi Yuanshang. As the elder of the Xinghui clan, you have the right to intervene."
"I have the authority, it's not you who has the final say." Xinghui Lanhai glared at Shen Zheng with fierce eyes.
"Then who has the final say? The people of Ziguang Xinghui?" Shen Zheng asked. "If that's the case, I would like to ask the elder to ask the crowd below which member of the Purple Star Hui clan is opposed to this marriage as you are?"
"Why should I listen to you?" Xinghui Lanhai asked.
"Because you said that this is a family matter." Shen Zheng said, "Since it is a family matter, it must be decided by the entire family, and it should not be left to a strong person to use his strength to overwhelm everyone and act arbitrarily!"
"Okay!" Xinghui Lanhai roared, "I will do as you wish and let you see how many people oppose this marriage!"
He turned to the crowd below and shouted: "People from the Ziguang Xinghui family, stand up for me!"
Immediately, nearly ten thousand people squeezed out from the crowd and stood at the top of the square. They respectfully saluted Xinghui Lanhai and shouted: "Welcome to the return of Elder Lanhai!"
"Okay!" Xinghui Lanhai's eyes flashed, "Almost all the core leaders are here! Let me ask you, do you have any objections to this marriage? Don't be afraid, as long as I am here, no one can subdue you by force. !"[
Ten thousand people were silent, just standing there.
"I'm asking you a question!" Xinghui Lanhai roared.
"Elder Lan Hai!" A man who seemed to have a high status in the clan stood up and looked at Xinghui Lan Hai with a sincere tone. "Our entire Ziguang Xinghui clan does not object to this matter. On the contrary, we sincerely bless them."
"What!?" Xinghui Lanhai's eyes became angry.
"It's true." Another man also stood up, "The head of the family has sacrificed too much for the prosperity of this family over the years. She sacrificed all her own happiness in exchange for the prosperity of our family. When we saw it, we all felt very ashamed.”
"So, we support her to pursue her own happiness!" Another person stood up, "We, the people, rely entirely on her to get where we are today, but we still force her to keep her and ask her to pay for us. This is not Is it too unfair?"
"Not bad!" Another person stood up. "That's why we unanimously agreed to support the head of the family's marriage and send her our most sincere blessings!"
"Not bad!" Everyone said in unison.
"You are all bastards!" Xinghui Lanhai was furious, pointing at the crowd below. "Have you lost the ambition you had in the past after living a hedonistic life? Have you all been bribed by them? You disregarding the interests of the family are simply traitors!"
"That's enough!" Shen Zheng shouted sharply and interrupted him. "The whole family is a traitor, but you are the only one, right? If that's the case, you are the one who betrayed me!"
"Shut up!" Xinghui Lanhai was furious and regardless of everything, the power in his body surged crazily.
"Bold!" The chief of palace etiquette took a step forward and shouted. "Xinghui Lanhai, no matter how senior you are, using force in front of His Majesty is still a capital offense!"
"That's not necessarily the case." At this time, Xuanyu Liuguang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He smiled lightly: "Elder Lan Hai does not want to salute His Majesty, he just wants to duel with Sir Shen. Isn't it the tradition of all major empires to resolve grievances between nobles through duels? Elder Lan Hai, I say Is that right? You want to duel with the person who made the purple star shine into the light of the autumn sky?"
"That's right!" Xinghui Lanhai shouted wildly, "Shen Zheng, either you accept my challenge and fight with me, or... you get the hell away from me! Don't even think about getting involved in this marriage again!"
"Duel?" Shen Zheng smiled lightly. "I have never been afraid of dueling with anyone. Since you want to give me advice, then I will do as you wish."
Then, he turned to Yue Mingguang: "Your Majesty, please allow me to fight him. Some people will remain asleep until they are beaten a few times."
"This..." Yue Mingguang hesitated. He had never directly seen how powerful Shen Zheng was, but he had seen with his own eyes how powerful Xinghui Lanhai was. He couldn't help but worry that the royal weapon he wanted to cultivate would be destroyed by Xinghui Lanhai.
"Your Majesty, I think this is an opportunity." Ming Yuebai whispered at this time. "You and I both know Elder Lan Hai's temperament. If he really meets someone who can control him, instead of hating him, he will make him his friend. This is also a way to resolve the conflicts between them."
"Okay." Yue Mingguang nodded slowly. "Then, please go to the deserted area of the Star Sea, which is used by nobles to duel outside the secret realm of the imperial capital."
"Okay!" Xinghui Lanhai's eyes flashed with excitement.
Shen Zheng vaguely felt that the hostility in the light was not as much as Xinghui Lanhai showed.
