LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1428 Gathering Troops
As Luo Xingyu spoke, he stepped forward personally and took Prince Luo Ang from the hands of the Luo family's secret guards. At the same time, he gestured in a direction to Zhou Yiqiao and the other two, and led everyone towards the quiet room.
Although the quiet room mentioned by Luo Xingyu could not be called luxurious, it was a rare and comfortable place in a hunting ground in the mountains like Canglong Ridge.
There were several simple beds in the stone chamber, and a small alchemy furnace in the corner, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
Luo Xingyu placed Luo Ang on a bed, then turned and said to Zhou Yiqiao.
"Brother-in-law, you should also rest quickly. I will ask people outside to find a way to send the best healing medicine. I hope it can help you recover soon."
Luo Xingyu looked like he was treating Canglong Ridge as his own holiday destination, and he seemed to enjoy it very much.
The group was also infected by Luo Xingyu's emotions, and the tension that had been lingering in their hearts finally subsided.
Zhou Yiqiao took out some pills from the storage bag, asked Luo Lishang to give a portion to the prince, and then put the rest into his mouth.
"There's no need for pills. Zhou is an alchemist himself, so there's no shortage of demand for them."
Seeing this, Luo Xingyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to Zhou Yiqiao and spoke in a slightly excited tone.
"It turns out that my brother-in-law is also an alchemist. This is really great."
"I happen to have a plant of Eight Treasures Glazed Grass given by my father in my house. When the winter hunt is over, my brother-in-law must come to my house for a chat. At that time, I will present the Eight Treasures Glazed Grass to my brother-in-law, and we will study medicine and alchemy together."
When Zhou Yiqiao heard the name of Eight Treasures Glaze Grass, he became interested for a moment.
He was about to say something when he heard Luo Lishang coughing twice, which stopped him from continuing his conversation with Luo Xingyu.
Zhou Yiqiao finally came back to his senses from his passion, pointed at his chest stained with blood and said to Luo Xingyu with a wry smile.
"Your Highness is so kind, I have no reason to refuse, but I am injured now and need to recuperate for a while..."
Luo Xingyu finally reacted and realized that he seemed a little rude, so he quickly waved his hands.
"I was negligent. My brother-in-law's injury is the most important thing. We can deal with other things after he recovers."
"Royal sister, brother-in-law, you just take a good rest here. We can discuss other matters after you recover."
After saying this, Luo Xingyu said hello to a few people around him, then left the cave with Wei Huaizhong and others.
After everyone had left, Zhou Yiqiao put away the smile on his face and looked at Luo Lishang with a strange expression.
"Her Royal Highness said that when the princes of the Great Xuantian reach a certain level of ability, the Immortal Emperor will let them go out and manage a small world to cultivate their management capabilities, right?"
"I see that the Seventh Prince has already reached the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage, which has long surpassed your brother's Spiritual Transformation Stage. Why hasn't he been sealed off from the outside yet?"
The "younger brother" Zhou Yiqiao mentioned is naturally Luo Lihan, who is in charge of the Long Snake Realm.
When Luo Lishang heard Zhou Yiqiao's question, he smiled slightly, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
"Seventh brother's situation is somewhat special."
"Not only has he shown extraordinary talent since he was young, he has also displayed extraordinary abilities in alchemy, formations, talismans, and many other areas."
"Besides that, he is a bohemian by nature, not very interested in power and status, and prefers a free and easy life."
"Father had high expectations of him, and therefore gave him great freedom."
"As for his casual entry and exit of Canglong Ridge, my father also turned a blind eye and let it go."
Zhou Yiqiao raised his brows slightly. Instead of his doubts being resolved by Luo Lishang's explanation, more doubts arose.
Since Luo Xingyu is so talented, why didn't the position of crown prince fall to him after Luo Chen was demoted?
Is it really just because Luo Xingyu is not interested in imperial power that the high and mighty Immortal Emperor Luo Fengtian gave him a break and skipped the consideration of Luo Xingyu inheriting the position of crown prince?
However, these questions all concern the secrets of the imperial family of Daxuantian. Zhou Yiqiao is already busy with many things, so he will not ask questions that will only cause trouble.
His expression changed again and again in a very short period of time, and finally he smiled warmly at the two girls and spoke.
"Anyway, we are safe for now. Zhou will need some time to rest. I'm sorry to bother you guys with Luo Ziyan, Luo Shanhu and the others."
Luo Lishang nodded slightly, with a look of determination between his brows.
"Mr. Zhou, just rest assured and recuperate. During this period, I will be your cover. Even if Luo Ziyan and the others come looking for us, they may not be able to find us."
Zhou Yiqiao felt relieved after hearing this, and with the help of Luo Lishang, he lay down on the bed in the stone room.
The two women led everyone out of the quiet room, and only Zhou Yiqiao and the unconscious prince were left in the huge space.
Zhou Yiqiao closed his eyes slightly, mobilized the spiritual power in his dantian and began to digest the power of the elixir in his stomach.
Dozens of spiritual powers of different attributes flowed through his meridians, like trickles merging into rivers, and finally flowing into his damaged internal organs.
His complexion gradually regained a hint of redness as he was nourished by spiritual energy, and the wound on his chest was also slowly healing.
Outside the meditation room, Luo Lishang and Luo Qingwu were discussing the next action plan with Luo Xingyu.
Although Luo Xingyu seems to be unruly, he is actually a meticulous person. Because he has been hunting in Canglong Ridge for many years, he knows the terrain distribution of this royal hunting ground like the back of his hand.
"Seventh brother, I know that you never want to get involved in these troublesome political struggles. Why are you willing to join us now and fight against Luo Ziyan, Luo Shanhu and the others together with us?"
Luo Xingyu still looked nonchalant, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
"What are you talking about, sister?"
"Although I don't like power struggles, it doesn't mean I will watch those with ill intentions hurt our Luo family."
"The actions of Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu have clearly shown that they are from the Sheng and Rong families, not the royal descendants of our Luo family."
"I will not ignore this kind of existence that attempts to disrupt the safety of the Great Xuantian and undermine the ruling status of my Luo family's royal family."
After listening to Luo Xingyu's words, Luo Lishang nodded with satisfaction and patted Luo Xingyu on the shoulder.
"With your help, Seventh Brother, our chances of winning are a little better."
Hearing Luo Lichang's praise, Luo Xingyu touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and then asked.
"Under the current circumstances, my suggestion is to unite as many people as possible in Canglong and be prepared for the final battle with Luo Ziyan, Luo Shanhu and the others."
The two girls heard the hidden meaning in Luo Xingyu's words and asked immediately.
"From what Seventh Brother said, have you received any definite news?"
Luo Xingyu waved his hand and repeated to Luo Lishang and the others the conversation between Wei Huaizhong and others after Zhou Yiqiao killed Huang Bolie.
"The battle between my brother-in-law and Huang Bolie has made all the young people participating in this winter hunt aware of the current situation. In order to survive, everyone must have started to choose which faction to join."
"At present, Luo Ziyan and Luo Shanhu are blatantly using the power of the Sheng family and the Rong family. It can be said that they have the upper hand in terms of momentum. If we cannot take the initiative to attack, we may end up facing a situation where we are outnumbered."
Luo Lishang frowned slightly, and his face, which was already a little cold when facing outsiders, was now even more frosty.
"Seventh brother, what you said is very true. However, we do not have powerful trump cards like the Sheng family and the Rong family. How can we make the neutral people come to our side?"
Luo Xingyu smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
"Sister, have you forgotten what our greatest advantage is?"
Luo Lishang and Luo Qingwu looked at each other, with a puzzled look in their eyes.
Luo Xingyu continued.
"Our greatest advantage is the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, we represent legitimacy and the future of the Great Xuantian Imperial Family."
Luo Qingwu nodded in agreement.
"The Seventh Prince is right. The Crown Prince is our legitimate heir. As long as he is still alive, we have reason to call on those families and forces loyal to the royal family."
Luo Lishang pondered for a moment, but his tangled brows did not relax much.
"Even if we have the title of Crown Prince, it is not enough. We still lack sufficient strength and interests to make those neutral forces lean towards us."
"You are wrong, sister."
There was an evil curve at the corner of Luo Xingyu's mouth, and the smile in his eyes was deep and charming.
"In terms of strength, the sight of Huang Bolie being tortured and killed by his brother-in-law has been heard by everyone through their servants."
"As for the benefits..."
He paused, then took out a golden token and threw it in front of the two women.
"My brother is not talented, but he happens to be the owner of Tianxuan Trading Company in Tiansheng City."
Luo Lishang and Luo Qingwu were both surprised when they heard this.
Tianxuan Trading Company is one of the best trading companies in Daxuantian. Its influence and wealth cover almost half of the goods in Tianchen Realm. The amount of spirit stones it earns every day can be said to be as much as mountains and seas.
There have long been speculations in Daxuantian that the shadow of Immortal Emperor Luo Fengtian must be behind this business that dares to use the words "Tian" and "Xuan" as its name.
After all, apart from Luo Fengtian's secret support, no one would dare to be so arrogant as to name this business "Tian" or "Xuan".
However, no matter how much everyone planned, they would never have thought that this Tianxuan Trading Company was actually the property of the Seventh Prince Luo Xingyu!
No wonder the Immortal Emperor would let Luo Xingyu stay in Daxuantian!
Seeing the shocked expressions of Luo Lishang and the others, Luo Xingyu pursed his lips and felt secretly happy. Then he coughed twice and asked back with a serious face.
"Royal sister, are we now strong enough to deal with Luo Ziyan, Luo Shanhu and the others?"
