This Body is Cheap

"Your Majesty, True Monarch Heisha seems to have failed. He and the people he brought didn't come back, but that Gongsun Ling came back and brought one person back." Director Xiao said.

"Is the investigation clear? Who is it?"

"Extreme master, Liu Yidao!"

"I've heard that he's just a top expert." The filial son said dismissively.

Today's two sides have gone beyond the scope of martial arts fighting.

It is difficult for any grandmaster or great master to intervene to affect the overall situation.

So when the filial son heard that it was only a top expert, he inevitably showed a bit of disdain.

He has a lot of great masters on hand.

Any one with the title of a great master is not weaker than Liu Yidao.

"I thought that little bitch would find such a powerful reinforcement, but I didn't expect it to be so ordinary." Da Xiaozi said with twinkling eyes: "It seems that her cards are all there."

"Your Majesty, what should I do next?"

Originally, the dutiful son had already planned to attack the Lu Mansion.

However, Director Xiao kept raising opinions.

To be precise, it is against such hasty hands.

After all, Gongsun Ling disappeared after leaving the imperial city.

Who knows what to do.

Director Xiao suspected that he had gone to find a rescuer.

And this is probably Lian Xiaowan's trump card.

When the opponent's hole cards are unknown.

If you tear your face rashly, accidents are likely to happen.

Even the situation has become unmanageable.

It's not that the filial son accepted Mr. Xiao's suggestion, but that he was also a little timid and had no idea.

So I have been holding back and not having an attack.

But now, no matter whether it is the filial son or Mr. Xiao, they are all relieved.

The reinforcement that Lian Xiaowan recruited was just a top expert.

If it is an ordinary battle between rivers and lakes, then a top player will indeed affect the whole situation.

But now the battle between them is far more dangerous than the battle between the rivers and lakes.

"What information does the Black Scale have?" Da Xiaozi asked again.

"Your Majesty, except for the force represented by the black-scaled man you had contact with, all other black-scaled forces have disappeared."

"What do you mean? All disappeared? They returned to the black domain?"

"No, it feels like it has evaporated, and the area where they used to appear, even the terrain has changed, it feels like being bombarded and killed by someone."

"Be clear."

"Your Majesty, the current information is limited." Director Xiao was also in a dilemma.

"Then tell me about the situation on Baitai Island."

"Because Baitai Island is far away from the inland, there is very little news at present. We only know that a large number of black scales have appeared along the inland coast, and they have begun to contact some wealthy families in the surrounding area. It seems that they really plan to settle down in Baitai Island. No special intentions or actions have been found so far."

"Is there any other news?"

Da Xiaozi was not very satisfied with the information.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the royal family of the Black Scales has been associated with a race called the Black Beast for a long time. They are like companions. Among them, the King of the Black Beast has a huge physique and extraordinary strength. A strong man far surpassing the realm of Grand Master, this slave suspects that the peerless black flood dragon that day may have something to do with the Black Scaled Man."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"The peerless black dragon came extremely suddenly, and its target was directed at the late emperor and many courtiers. If it hadn't been for His Majesty's efforts to turn the tide, the court would have collapsed by now."

Hearing Mr. Xiao's words, Da Xiaozi also fell into doubt.

"Shortly thereafter, the black-scaled people appeared one after another in the territory of Tianyuan, so the slaves suspected that the peerless black dragon was sent by the black-scaled people."

"If they have such abilities, why do they need to play tricks?"

"After all, they are fighting in a different place. Even if the peerless black flood dragon is extremely powerful, our Tianyuan Territory has outstanding people, and we will not lose to them. Isn't that the case with the Great Yan Lord, so it is reasonable to let our Tianyuan collapse first. .”

The filial son thought of Lian Xiaowan, although he was very reluctant to talk about Lian Xiaowan.

But I have to admit that Lian Xiaowan is indeed a model of outstanding people.

"Your Majesty, since the King Wei Lingzhen wants to form an alliance with you, then we should form an alliance with them. Anyway, what we paid is only an enclave, so let them fight against Lord Yan. Regardless of the final outcome, Your Majesty will You can reap the benefits."

Although Director Xiao is an eunuch, he is considered to be both civil and military. If he is not a eunuch, he definitely has the qualifications to be a marquis and a prime minister.

Now the imperial court is still reluctant to protect itself.

Simply unable to go out, especially in naval battles.

Today's King Wei Lingzhen occupies overseas islands.

No matter what attitude the Tianyuan court had towards King Wei Lingzhen and the Heilin people under his command, they could only sigh in awe.

So the alliance is the best choice, even without Lian Xiaowan.

In fact, in Director Xiao's view, Lian Xiaowan is not an enemy.

But this can't be said, after all, Lian Xiaowan's threat to Da Xiaozi is too great.

No emperor could tolerate an uncontrollable powerful force under his nose.

This has nothing to do with right or wrong, or even politics.

This is purely the emperor's way of thinking.

"Then tell those aliens that it's okay to form an alliance with me, but you need to obey my orders."

"Abiding by the order." Director Xiao responded, "What about the Lu family?"

"I hate traitors! From the whole Lu family, no chicken or dog will be left behind."

...

"Dad, don't go out tonight."

The old deer looked at Lu Baiyu suspiciously: "I have an appointment with Zhou Guang, Shangshu of the household department at night, and you told me not to go out, so I have broken my promise?"

"Father, you can choose between losing your trust and losing your life."

"What do you mean?" Old Lu obviously followed Lu Baiyu's words.

"Literally." Lu Baiyu said.

"Someone wants to harm me?"

"To be precise, it is not good for our Lu family."

"who?"

"Emperor." Lu Baiyu said.

"How is it possible... Although the relationship between our Lu family and the emperor is not close, but it is far from the point of facing each other. How could the emperor be unfavorable to our Lu family?"

Lu Baiyu shook his head, he made it clear that he didn't intend to talk about morality and rules.

Why is my father so naive.

"That's the truth. You left this door tonight. I guess I'll have to deal with your funeral tomorrow."

"Then what do you mean...my meeting with Minister Tobe..."

"I reckon that the Minister of the Household Department doesn't know it himself, and it's probably an order given to him by the emperor."

The old Lu's expression changed several times, and finally he let out a long sigh: "Hey... I never thought that my Lu family would come to where it is today."

"Father, now is not the time to sigh."

"The emperor wants to destroy our Lu family, what can we do?"

"Father, you forgot, I have a very powerful teacher."

The old deer looked at his son: "Are you prepared?"

"Father, I, Lu Baiyu, don't have the character to let others bully me."
