Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 229 Major Events
It was raining heavily outside the door, and the raindrops kept falling, hitting the ground, splashing drops of muddy water, and the sound of "crackling" water became one.

Under the heavy rain, the wind was howling, and the wind force might have reached level ten or above, and the sound of "Woo-woo" wind echoed continuously under the blowing of the wind.

Contrary to the noisy wind and rain outside, the house was silent, very peaceful, so peaceful that it seemed lifeless, but in fact, there were already several people inside.

Luo Chongshan, Luo Fu, Zhao Ji, Luo Qingyun, Luo Qiushui, Mo Chongzhi, Xiang Qianyuan, Ding Li, and Mao Yiming sat around a round table, their faces were quite dignified, and they had no interest in talking.

The nine people sat opposite each other, but the atmosphere was very dignified. A suffocating atmosphere could not help but be revealed. That kind of oppressive feeling matched the violent storm outside the house.

So silent, so contemplative, after a while, Luo Chongshan was the first to speak, solemnly said: "The envoys didn't arrive on time, there was an accident, they were intercepted, the group suffered heavy casualties, more than half of them died , and some others were also hit hard."

"Master, someone is making trouble with our Luo family. This is the hand of a deadly enemy."

Luo Fu's face flushed red, and he said bitterly.

Intercepting and killing the envoys sent by the imperial court is clearly the rhythm of killing the Luo family. If all the members of the envoys are really killed, not only will the Luo family's Sifang earls be lost, but the imperial court will also be offended.

Although the imperial court didn't care much about the affairs of God Turtle Island, it was because they didn't provoke him. Once they angered the emperor, they might not send troops.

Luo Fu has always been loyal to the Luo family, and the person or force behind the attack not only touched the bottom line of the Luo family, but also touched the bottom line of Luo Fu, which made him very angry.

"It's possible."

Luo Chongshan nodded, agreeing with Luo Fu's opinion, but also added: "However, it is not ruled out that some people or forces have evil intentions and want to disrupt the order of God Turtle Island."

"So, foster father, what do you want to do, are you looking for those people?"

Luo Qingyun asked.

Slightly frowning, Luo Chongshan said distressedly: "Something happened to the imperial envoys in our territory, we must give an account, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to find out who is behind the scenes."

If he dared to take action against the imperial envoys, the person or force behind them would definitely not be easy to deal with. Luo Chongshan was not sure whether he could find out that force.

In addition, Luo Chongshan did not want to offend more powerful forces because of this. This was an obvious mentality of wanting to reap benefits but not wanting to take responsibility.

"Master, what do you mean, let's put on a show?"

Loffe asked.

Luo Fu did not dare to ignore such a major event, he had to figure it out, after all, the implementation of specific matters still had to be handled by Luo Fu.

"You still need to be careful, at least you have to show your heart, otherwise, it will be difficult for the court to explain. Of course, if you can really find out the mastermind behind the scenes and report it to the court, it will be a credit. But don’t spend too much on it.”

Luo Chongshan said softly.

"Understood, sir."

Luo Fu led the way.

"By the way, Qingyun, from tomorrow onwards, you must do a good job in the reception work. Some people will not be in a good mood when the envoys encounter such a big event. If there is something difficult, you have to bear it."

Tilting his head slightly, Luo Chongshan urged Luo Qingyun again.

"Don't worry, foster father."

Luo Qingyun agreed.

"As well as Zhao Ji and the four brothers, you have to be prepared. This matter is full of fog. It's really hard to say what the final outcome will be. Therefore, you need to be on standby. A big battle may break out at any time."

Looking at Zhao Ji, Mo Chongzhi, Xiang Qianyuan, Ding Li and Mao Yiming one by one, Luo Chongshan said in a deep voice with a very solemn attitude.

Luo Chongshan was not sure how crazy the forces that even dared to provoke the imperial court would be. He was not sure whether he would really find out, but there was always a sense of crisis in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of eventuality. At this time, you must be fully prepared to respond to all changes with the same, so as not to prevent the storm from coming, but you are not prepared at all.

In the middle of the night, everyone was summoned, just to inform about the news about the envoys, and also made some arrangements, but in fact, it was of no practical significance.

However, it was shocking to receive the news of the robbing and killing of the diplomatic mission for the first time. It would be unprofessional not to act grandly for such a major event.

When Luo Chongshan announced the disbandment, Zhao Ji walked out accompanied by Luo Qiushui. The pouring rain outside the door was still falling, and the darkness of the sky conveyed a kind of despair.

Holding an umbrella, Zhao Ji walked into the rain curtain together with Luo Qiushui, listening to the sound of raindrops beating on the umbrella cloth, there was a "bang bang" sound.

Zhao Ji held the umbrella with one hand, and supported Luo Qiushui's waist with the other. With a burst of genuine energy, he lifted Luo Qiushui's figure out of thin air, and floated forward like a ghost.

As for Zhao Ji himself, his lightness kung fu has been practiced to the point where he can walk on the snow without a trace, and when he walks on the bluestone bricks soaked by the rain, his feet do not touch the ground, and his shoes are not wet at all.

"Brother, tell me, who is the force that dares to attack the imperial court's envoys?"

Next to Zhao Ji, Luo Qiushui questioned while walking forward cautiously.

Even though Zhao Ji was protecting him, the rain didn't touch his body at all, but looking at Luo Qiushui's walking posture, he was timid and weak, obviously trying to avoid all the rain.

"This, it's really hard to say, but if you want me to guess, I have an idea."

Zhao Ji smiled lightly.

"What do you think? Tell me."

Luo Qiushui looked interested.

Most of the time, Luo Qiushui is not interested in these beatings and killings, but she is naturally more concerned about the Luo family. After all, the development of the Luo family also has her part in it.

"If you want me to say that, apart from the Blood Demon Sect, the only one who dares to do this is Wang Haorong."

Zhao Ji replied: "The Blood Demon Sect has always had no scruples in doing things. Even the court may not dare to offend. As for Princess Rong, judging from her behavior of seizing Wang Chengzu's title of marquis in the sea, her personality is quite crazy. It’s not impossible for the missions to do something like this.”

"Hearing what you said, it's really similar."

Luo Qiushui nodded thoughtfully.

"However, of these two forces, which one is more likely?"

"It's hard to say. Both forces are possible. Moreover, the possibility is not small. Without more information, it is difficult to judge for a while."

Touching his chin, Zhao said with great difficulty: "However, if I had to make a hard guess, the possibility of Princess Rong should be higher."
