    Chapter 707 All parties take sides

    Zhu Qinghuo’s first statement undoubtedly caused the atmosphere in the hall to condense. The expressions of the leaders of all the forces changed. After Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan left the five major palaces in Daxia, Jiyan Palace has become the strongest among the five major palaces. Zhu Qinghuo himself has also entered the realm of fourth-grade marquis, which is higher than the masters of the other three palaces.

    Now that he has expressed his position like this, it is obvious that he wants to side with the regent.

    However, this is not surprising. After all, during the previous ceremony at Luo Lan Mansion, Zhu Qinghuo and the Regent’s actions had already shown that there was some connection between the two parties.

    “The three counties under my jurisdiction happen to be in the north, so there is no need to say more about my choice.” The person speaking at this time was Zhong Jie, who held the important position of governor of the three counties. He was a die-hard supporter of the regent.

    The eyes of Siqing, the master of the Jinque Mansion, flickered for a moment, and finally he said, “I, the Jinque Mansion, are also willing to retreat to the north.”

    If he had not taken action because he coveted Luo Lan Palace during the Luo Lan Palace Festival, he would most likely have chosen to go to the south, because although the regent had outstanding abilities, it made Siqing feel a little dangerous. He actually didn’t like dealing with such a powerful hero. But unfortunately, now that he has broken with Luo Lan Palace, he must consider the threats posed by Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan in the future.

    And looking at this Daxia, the only ones who can compete with those two people are the regents.

    Of course, the most important thing is that the regent has also taken action against the Luo Lan Mansion, so in a sense, the two sides have a perfect opportunity to join forces to fight against Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan.

    It was precisely because of thinking about this that Si Qing stood up for himself at this time.

    And his words indeed caused quite a shock, and the expressions of all the forces changed. As a result, two of the five major mansions had made their stance clear, while among the other three, Lanling Mansion did not attend at all, Luolan Mansion was just the head of two children, and in the end, only the remaining Duze Mansion had not yet expressed its attitude.

    So after that, some important officials of the royal court and external forces who had a somewhat neutral stance expressed their willingness to follow the regent to the north.

    For a time, the arrogance of the regent faction in the hall suddenly rose.

    When the eldest princess saw this scene, her pretty face was covered with frost, and her exquisite body was trembling slightly, which showed the anger in her heart.

    “Haha, Pei Hao’s strength had a strange surge during the memorial ceremony at Luo Lan Mansion. Later, after our investigation, it was found that Pei Hao was probably involved with Shen Jinxiao, and the Regent also happened to take action against Luo Lan Mansion at that time. This makes me have to wonder if the Regent had some connection with Shen Jinxiao.”

    At this moment, a young laugh suddenly sounded in the hall, and looking away, they saw Li Luo talking with a smile on his face.

    “Shen Jinxiao is obviously with the man with gold and silver eyes. They are all the culprits who caused the secret cave to be broken. If the regent is connected with Shen Jinxiao, can we also suspect that he and the people who returned to the meeting are also in the same group?”

    As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Even Vice Dean Su Xin cast a slightly sharp gaze on the regent.

    However, facing these gazes, the regent had a calm expression and said calmly: “Master Li Luo is young, but has a ruthless personality. Your Luolan Palace has a treasure that attracts people to covet. It’s no one else’s fault. I can only blame your parents for exposing this thing.”

    “You don’t have to want to carry out this frame-up just because this king covets the property of your Luo Lan Mansion.”

    “If you have evidence, just bring it out. There is no point in arguing with words.”

    Li Luo smiled slightly and said, “I’m just guessing, why is the regent so angry?”

    Then his voice changed: “But I, Luo Lan, should move to the south and be with the eldest princess. After all, the regent has said it so straightforwardly. If I follow you again, won’t I be sending meat to my door?”

    The regent’s face was expressionless, and he was not surprised by Li Luo’s choice.

    “Our Duze Mansion started from the south of Daxia. If we want to leave Daxia City, we should return to our roots.” Duze Yan of Duze Mansion also said slowly at this time.

    The choice of Duze Mansion is not surprising. All this was due to the previous confrontation at the Fuji. When Duze Yan blocked Siqing, it meant that Duze Mansion and the Regent also had some conflicts.

    However, if the choices of Luolan Mansion and Duze Mansion only caused a little stir in the field, then the next person’s statement made many important officials in the royal court look at him.

    “I would like to go south with Her Royal Highness the Princess.” That was General Qin Zhenjiang. His burly body was like an iron tower, and the ferocious scars on his bare arms revealed an iron-blooded aura.

    The regent’s eyelids twitched. Qin Zhenjiang held a decisive position in Daxia’s military. If he chose to go south, many military generals would follow him. This would have a big impact on the regent’s side.

    “Shengxuanxing Academy will be moved to the south. There are some schools in the county and city there that are suitable for renovation, which will be much more convenient.” Vice President Su Xin also said calmly at this time.

    The regent finally looked a little ugly. Although Shengxuanxing Academy was destroyed and some Zihui instructors were contaminated and their strength was damaged, no matter what, the academy is special and its heritage is still there. If they follow the eldest princess south, this will greatly increase the eldest princess’s reputation in the future.

    But this is the choice of Vice President Su Xin.

    In fact, the regent knew that this was because Su Xin also had some fears about him. In the past, the school had Pang Qianyuan as a trump card and was not too afraid of him. But now that Pang Qianyuan has fallen into a self-imposed seal, the school has suffered heavy losses. If he is still with the regent in this state in the future, he may take some measures to suppress him, and he does think so.

    This woman was cunning and didn’t give him any chance.

    However, the move of Shengxuanxing Academy to the south is not entirely a bad thing, because in the next few years, his involvement with Guiyihui will gradually deepen. With Shengxuanxing Academy following him, it will cause some trouble if the Shengxuanxing Academy notices it.

    Being able to separate it now also gives him time to completely control the north.

    When the time comes when his strength improves and he enters the realm of a high-ranking lord, even if his involvement with the “Guiyihui” is exposed, he will still have enough confidence and strength to suppress the situation.

    Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but the regent’s face remained gloomy and he said coldly: “Since this is Vice President Su Xin’s decision, although I am unwilling to do so, I still respect it.”

    He looked at Yu Hongxi again and said, “President Yu, where is Jinlong Baoxing?”

    Yu Hongxi said with a smile: “For us at Jinlong Baoxing, both the north and the south are places for business. Our headquarters will go to the south, but we will not give up on the north and will try our best to maintain as many branches there.”

    The regent’s expression remained unchanged. Obviously Yu Hongxi was more biased towards the eldest princess. However, Jinlong Baoxing was in business after all and had strong neutrality. If it was not an extreme situation, there would not be any conflict with him.

    In the main hall, as Shengxuanxing Academy and Jinlong Baoxing also made their choices, other forces also spoke one after another. What was a little surprising was that many of them were still willing to follow the regent northward. This may be due to the fact that they themselves made their fortune in the north. More importantly, it was because of the power left by the regent in controlling the royal court in these years.

    Although the influence of these forces is not as good as the first two and the five major mansions, they are still a considerable force when gathered together.

    At this point, these top power classes in the main hall, which represent the top power classes in Great Xia, were separated and formed into two major factions, one in the south and the other in the north.

    If the neutral Shengxuanxing Academy and Jinlong Baoxing are excluded, in terms of momentum and strength, the Regent’s side will be stronger.

    The regent was quite satisfied with the current results. He no longer concealed anything at this time. He just looked at the eldest princess with indifferent eyes and said: “Luan Yu, since you have made your choice, I hope you will run the south well. In the future, Daxia will still need to be unified.”

    The eldest princess said coldly: “Gong Yuan, my father really misjudged you. Maybe my father did not expect that the regent he chose before his death would actually divide Daxia.”

    “I said that he was too greedy.”

    “He was the first to disobey the rules of the Gong family’s ancestors.”

    The regent said indifferently, and then turned around and left without saying anything more to the eldest princess.

    As he left, the many forces that were willing to follow him north immediately followed his lead and began to leave.

    In a moment, the originally full hall was half empty.

    The eldest princess’s bright and elegant cheeks were uncertain, and there was murderous intent emerging in her eyes. At that moment, she really almost wanted to order her men to take action, but in the end, her rationality allowed her to calm down, because her strength may not be as good as Gong Yuan’s.

    Even if Vice Dean Su Xin and Yu Hongxi were not present, she even suspected that Gong Yuan might strike first, eliminate her directly in the most brutal way, and then completely control the royal court.

    This method may be crude and unreasonable, but in the current chaotic situation, it is very effective.

    call.

    The eldest princess took a few deep breaths. The gorgeous palace dress that exuded a noble atmosphere could not hide the turbulence in her chest. She tried hard to calm down the anger in her heart, and then looked at Li Luo, Jiang Qing’e and others next to her, and showed them a bright smile full of gratitude.

    “Everyone, now that you have decided, let’s start preparing for a big retreat.”

    “Although Daxia City is gone, we still have hope in Daxia. I believe we will definitely come back in the future.”

    In the eldest princess’s self-encouragement, all the forces also hurriedly left the scene, because the subsequent retreat still required too many preparations.

    After Li Luo said goodbye to the eldest princess, he caught up with Vice Dean Su Xin.

    “Vice dean, is there any room for reconstruction when Shengxuanxing Academy moves south?” Li Luo asked softly.

    Vice President Su Xin glanced at Li Luo, showed a forced smile, and said: “There are a few candidates, what? Do you have any good suggestions?”

    Li Luo smiled and said, “I recommend Nanfeng Academy in Tianshu County.”

    “Nanfeng Academy? In fact, this is one of the candidates.” Vice President Su Xin nodded slightly. She also knew that Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e both came from Nanfeng Academy.

    “I will have a good discussion with the other Zihui instructors in the next two days. I think it should be a very lucky place to have students like you and Jiang Qing’e there.”

    Li Luo smiled and nodded. He looked at Vice Dean Su Xin’s haggard expression and finally comforted him.

    “Vice President, you don’t need to be too sad. Although the school was destroyed, it may not be a rebirth from the ashes. Maybe in the future, our Shengxuanxing School will be able to produce a super strong person. By then, the mere Holy School will not be worthy of us. At the very least, it must be an “ancient school”, right?”

    Listening to Li Luo’s comfort, Vice President Su Xin couldn’t help but smile, then stretched out her hand with soft eyes and rubbed the hair of the young man in front of her.

    “Then it may depend on you and Jiang Qing’e.”
