760 Centuries of planting trees missed fruit, and it was not possible to distinguish between male and female
(760 Hundred Years of Trees Planted Missing Fruit, Male and Female Failed to Distinguish at That Time)
On the northwest corner of Song City, there are a bunch of dense cubic buildings like neat huge tombstones, each of which is dozens of zhang high, the whole body is iron gray, and the silver-white lines are painted on it.
These patterns are regular and complicated, but they don't really make any sense. It's just that anyone who looks at it will focus on these silver lines, and ignore the iron-gray wall, which is the same iron-gray, but a slightly darker one, neatly arranged squares.
If you look closely, you will see that these squares are actually windows, and there is a slight amount of light. The material used to seal the windows sold by the Sija people is called "Hope for Eyes", and there is no need to use the magic circle, and its physical properties are like this. From the inside, it is transparent, and from the outside, there are iron-gray walls.
If you are a monk with excellent eyesight, you can faintly see the shadows and swaying figures in the room with the faint light shining from these walls.
One of the walls in one of the rooms was densely covered with jade slips, and countless jade slips were constantly projecting spiritual light, conjuring up scenes and scenes, all of which were moving around Song City.
People come and go, money comes in and money goes out, Song Cheng is like a huge heart constantly beating. There was constantly silver, gold, elixirs, and even blood spirit stones, everything that people recognized as wealth, which were transported to the secret vaults underground and preserved, and then spent when the time was right.
The interior of the room was originally bright, as the entire wall was completely transparent, allowing direct sunlight from the outside. But at this time, the black curtains were completely lowered, so the room was filled with only the spiritual light emitted by these jade slips, which seemed very dim, and only two faint figures could be seen in the light and shadow.
One of them, an old man, said to the other with dissatisfaction in his tone: "Five hundred years, I can't count the money spent. With such a big business, there is such a big basket that we can even make mistakes?"
The other, dressed in a hooded cloak, with his eyes obscured by a hat, could only see his lips moving slightly, and replied with some disdain in the Middle-earth language, which he was not very proficient in:
"The Great Elder is a little worried, everything is still under control. Since it is not Song Ruqing, it must be one of the top four in this session. Now how many are decided? You just take them all down and send them over, and we'll take care of the rest. ”
"It's two. But it's not as easy as you think!
"Our own people are good at talking. One of these two is Song Ruhai, the son of Song Xiangyi. They were kicked out of the door by this generation of masters fifteen years ago, and they are no longer our own family.
"Now this person is the personal disciple of Lian Ping, the Supreme Elder of the Jade Palace, or the treasure elder of the Jade Palace, it's not so simple to forcibly stay, right?
"He didn't come alone. The woman beside him was the elder of the Jade Palace, and she had the cultivation of the Purple Mansion. In case this matter provokes Lian Ling of the Jade Palace again, that woman would dare to kill even Elder Mu De of the Five Elements Sect.
"And the Jade Palace has a close relationship with the Cloud King. If things make a big fuss and alarm King Yun again, how will it end? This place is under the nose of King Yun. ”
The man under the cloak sneered and said:
"Even if the Great Elder still wants to bargain, he doesn't need to be so modest. If this is outside, it may be a problem. But in the Song Mansion, it's not a piece of cake for you?
"As for the Jade Palace and the Cloud King in the future, we will naturally be responsible for it to the end. Jade Palace Lian Ling is now just a double-flower monk, to put it bluntly, that is, the strength of a medium-sized sect. Are you afraid we won't be able to handle it?"
The old man did not answer for a moment. He was actually not afraid of the aftermath of the Jade Palace. As soon as this matter is completed, the old mansion of the Song family has actually been meritorious. They will then quickly move to the city of Thick Earth to take control of a truly large and long-term business.
At that time, there will be a court cover, and no one will be able to touch them anymore. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have stayed in this place for so many years.
What he was worried about was the current matter, how could he catch the turtle in the urn, find the person they had to find, and succeed in it? If this thing failed, the family's plan for five hundred years would actually be in his hands, and this could not be made up for by spending a little money.
"If you think that Song Ruhai is not convenient for the time being, then try the other person first. If that person is the person we are looking for, Song Ruhai doesn't need to touch him. If not, it's not too late to take down Song Ruhai again. Just don't let Song Ruhai return to Jade Palace for the time being. ”
Seeing that he did not answer, the man under the cloak made another suggestion.
The Great Elder nodded at this time. Among the two top four players who have been decided, except for Song Ruhai, Song Lan is just a mortal, and she is a woman.
She is Song Ruqing's sister. But this woman has been staying in the boudoir and has not married, has nothing to do with the outside world, rarely shows up on weekdays, and is a person with no sense of existence.
Song Ruqing and her parents both died young. Even if such a woman disappears from the Song family from now on, who else will care about it except for Song Ruqing, her own brother? And Song Ruqing, a waste, can no longer care about this matter.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he had been ignoring something.
They have been here for so many years, and they have always felt as stable as Mount Tai, and the final success is because everything is steadily executing according to plan, and it is only recently that they have discovered the strangeness.
Fifteen years ago, Song Ruqing, who was only twelve years old, shined at the money guessing conference, did not lose a game, and won the position of the head of the Song family in one fell swoop. This is in line with all their expectations, and it is clear that Song Ruqing is the person they are waiting for.
That's why they created those accidents, so that Song Ruqing's parents entered the reincarnation early, leaving this teenager for them to control. Then on this day, let him obediently walk on that road, and their great event will be done.
It turned out that it wasn't him? This is really a ridiculous joke, which shows that they were wrong fifteen years ago! This is exactly what made the Great Elder's head break out in a cold sweat.
But there could only be one reason for this. That is the result of winning many games back then, and it was not based on Song Ruqing's own ability at all. No one can have that good luck.
Who else will help him? At the money guessing conference that year, there was a person who was with him all the time. It was his sister Song Lan, who was a year older than him!
It's just that Song Lan was only an ordinary girl at the age of thirteen at the time, and no one noticed her.
The Great Elder's heart was shocked, but he didn't show his voice on the surface. He thought about it carefully again and recalled his impression of Song Lan's daughter. There was some uneasiness in his heart.
Because they always thought that person was Song Ruqing, the person who was careful to watch out for and control was also Song Ruqing. As for this young lady named Song Lan, they didn't pay much attention to it at all. If Song Lan was that person, then their plan might have been leaked.
He tried to recall all the intersections with Song Lan in the past fifteen years. But he could barely recall anything. Because they have hardly ever dealt with each other.
But even if things don't leak out of him, it's not impossible for them to leak out from other people, such as Night Slaves and the like. Fortunately, those people have limited knowledge about this matter.
He suddenly smiled with relief. In fact, even if Song Lan had already grasped some of the information until her possible end, so what? What could she do? She was just a mortal woman, and she was in the Song family. Can a duck fly away in a cage?
So he just called a gray-clothed man to come in and said, "Go and invite Song Lan, the eldest lady of the main family!"
The man nodded and went. And he and the cloaked man sat quietly and waited. It won't take another quarter of an hour for the matter to be back in their hands.
