The spiritual veins were sealed, not to mention the recovery of spiritual power. Whether he could survive was still questionable. Everyone knew that there was probably going to be a change of power in the Shen family.
The rest of the crowd retreated, leaving only Shen Qirui and his son and the barefoot doctor Zhu Xingli.
“Have there been any changes in Beimo recently?” After a long silence, Shen Qirui started with a stiff tone.
“The barbarians extinguished Ke Zhuhun, they now have plenty of Luli, and thus they frequently provoked us,” Shen Lou said with a cold look, “If I am not mistaken, the general of Ke Zhuhun must have also been struck by the Devouring Soul.”
Shen Qirui slowly took a slow breath.
It didn’t take a person with high spiritual power to be able to withstand such evil things. Once it spread, it would be very dangerous. Ke Zhuhun was extinguished today, and Beiyu would be extinguished tomorrow.
“Yixiao, with my body, can I go to Yongdu?” Shen Qirui asked Zhu Xingli, who was still giving him acupuncture.
“Yes, when the body explodes, it will taint the entire capital, and Dayong will change the dynasty.” Zhu Xingli said with a smile.
Shen Qirui’s forehead twitched slightly, regretting talking to Zhu Xingli, he sighed and said to his son: “I will pass the title of Duke of Gu to you. If you quickly lead troops to attack Beimo, this thing will definitely be eradicated.” It was better to strike first before it spread.
Having said that, both father and son knew it would be difficult to make the trip. Shen Qirui had always advocated using offense as defense and wanted to take the initiative to conquer Beimo and make the barbarians surrender. However, the court had always disagreed because the Luli was insufficient.
They had been watching as Wuluolun Heruo unified the tribes and became more and more powerful, now, even if the court agreed, it would be very difficult for Shen Lou to conquer Beimo.
“This son understands.” Shen Lou responded and came down.
“You have been extremely talented since you were a child, and you are very reassuring to me as your father. Just one thing, please remember the principles of our Shen family, be loyal to the royal family, be loyal to the king, and do not participate in the fight for the throne. And…” Without spiritual power, Shen Qirui felt a little a little uncomfortable, so he took a breath, looked at Shen Lou’s face, and said word by word, “Our Shen family has a pure family tradition, and we will never do anything dirty.”
The so-called dirty things obviously meant something. Earlier, his son went crazy and bullied Lin Xin. While Shen Qirui was angry, what he was most worried about was how to appease the Marquis of Lu. As a result, the unfilial son had a deep conversation with him and actually said such stupid things as wanting to spend the rest of his life with Lin Xin.
Young people were always confused sometimes. Shen Qirui hoped to lead his son on the right path, but he didn’t expect that he would fall down so quickly. It was really hard to feel relieved.
When Zhu Xingli heard the words about dirty things, he immediately became unhappy and added coolly: “Aren’t your family originally bandits? How can you be so pure?”
“Ahem, cough…” Shen Qirui coughed violently.
Shen Lou didn’t speak.
Zhu Xingli didn’t mind watching the excitement and continued to gather firewood to add fuel to the fire. “Take care of yourself first. If you don’t pass the throne to him, who else can you give it to? You only have one son, so talking about it is in vain.”
“Zhu Yixiao! Can you please stop saying a few words?” Shen Qirui’s throat felt fishy and sweet, and he was about to choke on the blood from his heart.
Lin Xin stood outside the door, looking at the closed door uneasily. Wen Shilan took action in advance, which meant that Dayong would be in chaos and Shen Lou must get the power of the Shen family.
“Creak-” The wooden door opened and closed, and Shen Lou walked out with a solemn expression.
“What did you say?” Lin Xin looked at him anxiously. The retainers and subordinates around him also held their breaths, waiting for Shen Lou to speak.
“Follow me.” Shen Lou pulled Lin Xin, waved away the followers, and found a secluded place to talk.
“Did your father say that he wants to pass the throne to you on the condition that you don’t get involved with me anymore?” Lin Xin rubbed the hilt of his sword with one finger. After saying these words, not only did he not feel sad, but he was actually a little happy. He never thought that he could reach this point with Shen Lou, that he could spread his arms in front of Father Shen and be opposed by him seriously.
Shen Lou looked at Lin Xin with bright eyes, amused and distressed at the same time, “Xinxin…”
“Don’t be stubborn and just say that we are just good brothers. It will not affect your marriage and children.” It was also said before. He spoke smoothly, but his voice dropped when he mentioned the last sentence.
“Lin Buhuan,” Shen Lou pinched his face and forced him to look up at him, “Do you think we can still be good brothers after we’ve slept with each other?”
“How do I know? I’ve never slept with anyone else.” Lin Xin said innocently.
Shen Lou looked at him and was suddenly amused. How did he think that Lin Xin had experienced hundreds of battles in the flowers? He took the person into his arms and rubbed him, then sat down and said, “Many things have happened in advance in this life. If I am not mistaken, the barbarians can already make large quantities of soul-devouring souls. I must go to the capital and make it clear to the emperor. We have to start a war immediately.”
After avoiding the crowd, he just wanted to say this, only two people understand the past and present.
“I’m afraid the emperor won’t agree. He doesn’t know what Soul Devouring is yet.” Lin Xin frowned. The so-called war was to be fought in the name of the imperial court. If you want to fight, you need Luli, and this Luli must come from the treasury.
The ban on Luli had just been implemented and everything was not ready yet.
He had to agree even if he didn’t agree, Shen Lou’s eyes were solemn.
Since his rebirth, he had never slacked off, but he was still not as good as God. The appearance of the Devouring Souls had come so many years in advance. The only good thing now was that Emperor Yuan Shuo was still on the throne. Although Feng Zhuoyi was not easy to persuade, he was much better than the headstrong Feng Zhang.
Lin Xin turned his head and looked at him, “What happened at the end of the last life?”
Seven years of darkness whizzed past in front of his eyes with Lin Xin’s voice. Shen Lou was silent for a long time. When Lin Xin thought that he would not say anything, he said in a deep voice: “There are not even one immortal for their ten in the Central Plains. The country will be destroyed and the Tao will be overturned.”
The author has something to say:
Small Theater:
“You can be a good brother even after sleeping”
Loulou: What do you mean by sleeping on the same bed without clothes?
Xinxin: Good brothers, let’s meet honestly.
Loulou: Do you hug each other and kiss?
Xinxin: As good brothers, we are closely connected.
Loulou: Have you applied XXOO ointment?
Xinxin: Good brothers, we are closely connected.
