The rain was heavy, the night was dark, and the wind was strong.

The woods in every corner of Anyi City were blown by strong winds, and large clumps of leaves were wrapped in the wind and flew past the eaves and corners of the houses, like ghosts announcing funerals wandering past.

At this time, there were very few people living in Anyi City on a daily basis. Except for the houses of the major shaman families and the residences of the court ministers, there were still sparse lights flickering. The large tracts of private houses were dark and gloomy to the extreme.

.Big raindrops were blown by the strong wind, beating like whips on the houses, trees and streets of Anyi City, making a chaotic sound, covering up all other sounds. Occasionally, a sharp bolt of lightning tore through the dark sky.

The city of Anyi, which looked like a coffin in the night sky, seemed a little more alive.

Xia Jie, who was holding a sun-shooting bow, led a group of people to walk quickly on the dark streets. Their steps were light, and the strong wind and rain swept over their bodies, but it was like human hands touching oily loaches, slippery from their bodies.

Sliding sideways. The whole group of people were wrapped in pitch-black robes. Even their eyes were covered with translucent crystal pieces. Their hands were also wearing gloves made of iron sheets and iron rings. No skin was exposed.

outside.

Xia Jie, Zhao Gongming, Shui Yuanzi, Chi Ming, and Jin Gang walked at the front of the team. Behind them were two hundred Jin Gang's subordinates. These barbarian warriors gave up their handy axes and instead

Picked up the bow and arrow - the unique bow and arrow of the Dongyi people. Even the arrows in their arrow kettle were secretly hidden in the warehouse of the Daxia Military Headquarters. The top-quality goods seized from the Dongyi people were marked with Dongyi people.

Uniquely branded arrows.

The patrol team that usually roams around Anyi City at nightfall is like a fragile daisy tonight, beaten away by the violent storm. The streets and alleys of Anyi City are silent and there is no sound. In the past, there were often people in the streets and alleys.

The wild cats and dogs that made that itchy moaning sound were nowhere to be found tonight.

Zhongtian Hou Yi Yin, the person with the most embarrassing status among the nine Tianhou in Daxia Dynasty. His fiefdom is Zhongzhou, but Anyi City is at the core of Zhongzhou, and Zhongzhou is the direct jurisdiction of the King of Xia. Yi Yin's authority is

He is the weakest among the nine major witches, and his subordinates' power ranks outside the top 100 among the major wizards in Daxia.

However, the mid-weather weather has an extremely unique influence in Daxia.

The first Zhongtianhou was the most trusted minister around Dayu, the ancestor of the Xia Dynasty. He made outstanding achievements in the process of water control, so Dayu granted him Zhongzhou, the core of Kyushu.

Daxia's noble and official system is divided into two distinct categories. One major category is the Wu family headed by the Xingtian clan, the Xiangliu clan, the Shen Gong clan, and the Fangfeng clan, who have inherited the blood of some ancient gods. These witches

The history of the family is much older than that of the Great Xia Dynasty. They recognized the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty and also sent their clansmen to serve as officials in the Xia Dynasty. However, the restrictions they received from the royal court were minimal. For example, Xing Tiane was a member of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Fu Gong, commanded the army of fifty-four lieutenants from the Sixth Order and Eighteenth Division of Daxia. This group of troops was almost equivalent to the private army of his Xingtian family! And the corresponding military pay and ordnance supply had to be allocated by the Royal Court of Daxia

The money comes. These great witch families have a transcendent status in the Great Xia court. They have extremely huge strength in their respective tribes, and they are almost a country within a country.

Apart from these great shaman families, another major category is the aristocratic families that were born entirely because of the Daxia Dynasty. When the Daxia Dynasty was established, the ancestor Dayu entrusted the heroes who followed him with meritorious service in flood control to sit in the land of Kyushu. These are the nine major climates of Kyushu and the following.

The origin of the hereditary nobles of the four classes of earth, gods, humans, and ghosts. Together with the nobles entrusted by the Xia kings below Dayu, they formed another important force in the Great Xia court system. This part of the aristocratic families,

Their fiefdoms were all nominally owned by the Great Xia Dynasty, which was different from the fact that the clan lands of ancient shaman families like Xing Tiane and others were completely privately owned by them.

The weather of Zhongzhou, ranking first among the weather of Kyushu, is the five hereditary positions of Great Xia, Earth, God, Human, and Ghost, as well as the ninth-level military marquis, the ninth-level civil marquis, the ninth-level outer marquis, and the ninth-level inner marquis, etc., which are not hereditary.

The nobles are the nominal managers and play a decisive role in Daxia's bureaucracy. A word from Zhongtian Hou often represents the common opinions of many nobles inside and outside Daxia.

Jiuzhou weather, many earth conditions, gods, humans, ghosts, their combined forces are equivalent to more than 30% of Daxia's strength.

This time, Guan Longfeng's proposal to consolidate all the power of the country in the hands of Lu Gui in order to fight against the Hai people was fully approved by the Wu family headed by Xingtian, Xiangliu, Shen Gong and Fangfeng.

A proposal. But the nobles of Great Xia, headed by Zhongtianhou Yiyin, had other thoughts behind their backs.

With the power of the whole country concentrated in the hands of Lu Gui, the clans and territories of ancient witch families such as the Xingtian clan cannot touch him. Since the establishment of Daxia, the clans and territories of the major witch families have nothing to do with Daxia. The major witch families have nothing to do with Daxia.

It is enough for the family to hand over part of the family's army in their clan to the command of the royal court. But the power of Zhongtian Hou and others over their own fiefdom will be reduced to the lowest point - the army in the fiefdom will be controlled by the royal court.

After taking over, the taxation and other government affairs on the fiefdom will also be controlled by the royal court. They will have nothing but a fixed tax from the fiefdom.

Therefore, Yi Yin, on behalf of these enfeoffed nobles, openly resisted Guan Longfeng's proposal.

Therefore, Xing Tiane, who was looking forward to taking over the armies in the Great Heavenly Territories and getting more benefits from them, represented some people who also took a peek at this part of the power, and issued a kill order without hesitation.

Zhongtianhou Yiyin and the Xingtian clan are related by marriage. But the so-called marriage relationship is sometimes so fragile.

In the stormy weather, Xia Jie and his group hurried outside Yi Yin's mansion and quietly sneaked into the uninhabited house opposite his house. Xia Jie, Zhao Gongming, and Chi Ming stood at the top

On the roof of a pavilion, overlooking the Yi Yin family, Jin Gang was holding a big ax and patrolling the side. Shui Yuanzi turned into a bright spray of water, like a lazy snake on the eaves.

Sliding around in the water tank, enjoying myself.

The door to the main hall of Yi Yin's house was open, and a strong wind rushed into the hall from the door. The only oil lamp in the hall was swaying, as if it could be extinguished at any time. The flickering dim light made Yi Yin and his son Yi Hao in the hall

The figure of the face kept shaking on the wall, like two twisted strange pythons.

Sitting on the stone couch in the middle of the hall, Yi Yin's face was gloomy, his slender eyes were narrowed, and he looked up and down with cold and sinister eyes at Yi Hao, who was standing respectfully in front of him. After a long time, he spit out his words from his thin lips.

Two words: "Trash."

The tall and handsome Yi Hao slowly bent down, with a helpless smile on his equally gloomy face.

The strong wind roared in the empty hall, rushing towards the oil lamp like crazy, but unable to extinguish the dim light. The strong wind blew and made an angry whistle. Sitting cross-legged, Yi Yin put his hands lightly

On his knees, he kept pinching strange witch seals. Gradually, the strong wind quickly circled around his body, and gradually turned into a light black wind dragon. The wind dragon flew rapidly without making any sound.

The oil lamp also jumped violently, the light became much brighter, and the flame of the lamp did not move at all.

Yi Yin quickly pinched the seal and said calmly: "If you are successful and have been in the witch palace for so many years, you should get your hands on that little girl. If you marry Li Wu, what should I be afraid of?"

Yi Hao's waist bent even more, and he mumbled helplessly: "Qi Xin, she seems to have fallen in love with that friend of Xing Tian's family."

The wind dragon let out a fierce roar, drew a huge arc and pounced on Yi Hao, sending him flying up and hitting the wall on the right side of the hall. Yi Hao let out a muffled groan and spurted out water from his mouth.

With a mouthful of blood, he obediently returned to the original place and stood there obediently bent over.

"That's why I said you are a waste! You can't even win against a barbarian, so why should I continue to inherit my title after you?" Yi Yin said gloomily: "Those of your brothers are all waste. Originally,

I thought you had some potential, but I didn’t know you were even more useless! You and that little girl have been together in the Witch Palace for so many years, but you are still not as good as the barbarian she just met?"

Yi Yin glared at Yi Hao fiercely and said angrily: "Look at how you look like this for nothing. Is that barbarian more handsome than you, from a better family background than you, and stronger than you?"

Yi Hao gave a dry smile and touched his face in confusion. Yes, he is so tall and handsome, and he is Zhongtianhou's favorite son, especially since he has the strength at the peak of the Eight Cauldrons. How can he say that he is also

He shouldn't be inferior to Xia Jie, a barbarian. But why does Qi Xin have a crush on that barbarian?

As he was thinking about it, a deep murderous aura suddenly appeared in Yi Hao's eyes. He said gloomily: "If that old ghost Qingyuan hadn't forced me to take the soul-possessing pill, I, I, I would have chopped that barbarian in half with one palm.

Death, where, where will it happen..." Yi Hao said, while looking pitifully at Yi Yin from the corner of his eye.

Yi Yin tilted his neck and sneered: "You have been hit by the soul-possessing pill, do you still want me to help you undo it? Those weird witch potions in Li Witch Palace..." After saying this, Yi Yin couldn't help but grin.

He grinned and frowned. He said in a deep voice: "You loser, Qingyuan just didn't allow you to kill the barbarian, wouldn't you insist on clinging to that little girl? If you could have the spirit of dedicating yourself to the family, then

Can this girl really kill you?"

Yi Yin said angrily: "If Li Wudian is the backing of my family today, huh, Xing Tian'e and the gang of old ghosts dare to touch the minds of us Wu family?"

Yi Hao did not dare to say anything. Yi Yin continued to scold: "Guan Longfeng is a bastard. As the commander of Anyi, he is a direct subordinate of me. He actually... actually proposed such a plan to annihilate his descendants.

The idea is to take back all the power of Daxia to the king, hum, hum, hum. Xing Tiane and the other Wu families have not suffered any damage, but I, we..."

Gritting their teeth, both Yi Yin and Yi Hao were furious in their hearts, constantly cursing Guan Longfeng who proposed this damn idea, and Xing Tiane and others who were behind it.

Once this plan is fully realized, Yi Yin will be deprived of everything these days, and Yi Yin cannot help but curse those who have used their brains on them.

Yi Hao said cautiously: "Father, do you really want to join other Tianhou in refusing to carry out the king's order?"

Yi Yin sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it is. I'm waiting for the Nine Heavens and many other witch families to join forces. Even if the king is angry, I'm afraid he still has to think about it." He sneered: "Just think about it,

If I hand over the garrisons and all the power in Zhongzhou to the royal court, who will benefit? Is it the king? Fart! Xing Tiane is in charge of the army, Xiang Liuzuo is in charge of the government, Shen Gongli and Fangfengyi will be like mad dogs in Zhongzhou

They placed their tribesmen everywhere, and in the end all the benefits were taken by them!"

Yi Yin raised his head and said sinisterly: "Tomorrow I will propose to the king at the court meeting. If we really want to take away all the power in our hands and hand it over to the king, Xing Tiane and the others will not want to stay out of it. Their

The clan land must also be taken over by someone from the royal court. This is only fair."

As he spoke, the anger in Yi Yin's heart emerged again. He grabbed a piece of hard jade from the stone couch where he was sitting, threw it heavily and hit Yi Hao on the forehead. There was a muffled sound, and Yi Hao

He was hit so hard that he fell to the ground, a big gash was opened on his forehead, and blood came out like a fountain.

Yi Yin scolded angrily: "You loser, if you can get Qi Xin in your hands, how dare Xing Tiane and the others be so arrogant? With Li Witch Palace as the backstage, it means having the entire Witch Palace as the backer, Guan Longfeng

How could that damned thing propose to take back the military and political power in the hands of the major weather forces? Even if he proposed it and the other heaven states handed over their power, no one would dare to touch a blade of grass in my Zhongzhou!"

He gritted his teeth and said harshly: "If you could hook up with Qi Xin, how could I be forced to join forces with the other eight heavens to resist the king's order this time? Are you Xing Tian'e and the four cruel old ghosts?

Are you a vegetarian? They still don’t know how to deal with me!"

Angrily slapping the stone couch, Yi Yin gritted his teeth and said: "There is also this guy Lu Gui. He has to do something good or bad that no king in the past has ever interfered with. Huh, the power in his hands is already big enough. If Jiu Gui

He has taken all the power of Datianhou into his hands. Aren't Xing Tiane and the others afraid of bringing trouble to themselves? When the power of the royal court completely overwhelms the great witch families, hum! How can they guarantee that Lu Gui will not touch their clan land?

"

Yi Hao raised his head cautiously and murmured in a low voice: "Father, don't forget, Xing Tianhuaying is now the king's queen. Then Xing Tiane..." His face was covered with blood and he looked so embarrassed.

With one palm, he broke the stone couch he was sitting on into half, and Yi Yin said angrily: "Yes, that's right. That witch Xing Tianhuaying, Xing Tian'e is so shameless that he let the witch hook up with Lu Gui early.

Come on, if the power of the Nine Provinces is taken back by the royal court, wouldn't it be that the Xingtian family would get the greatest benefit?"

The father and son were calculating and cursing here, when suddenly the voice of the guard at home came from outside the door: "Weather, Anyi ordered Guan Longfeng to see you."

The corners of Yi Yin's eyes trembled, and Yi Hao was stunned. The father and son looked at each other, and Yi Yin said solemnly: "As Guan Longfeng comes in... Well, you go to the back hall to send a message to the other Tianhous.

Let them gather in Anyi tomorrow to meet the king. Hum hum, we, the Nine Heavenly Ministers, are leading the way and are carrying out the ancestral rules to see if Lu Gui and Guan Long Feng have any excuses."

Yi Hao obediently went to the back hall. With a wave of Yi Yin's hand, the incomplete stone couch under his seat was shattered into pieces. The light black wind dragon was wrapped around his body. His body was suspended in the air and he looked coldly at the hall.

At the door. After a while, Guan Longfeng, who was in high spirits, strode into the hall and saluted Yi Yin.
