Li Ran looked back and saw that this person was nothing but the head of the East Factory, Liu Liang.

Liu Liang walked over with a smile: "Young Master Nangong, the emperor has an order to let you and this girl rest in the palace. When the other two ancient tribes arrive at the imperial capital, let us discuss this century-old event."

"Hmph, didn't the empress refuse to agree in the Clan Council just now? Now I'm asking me to stay in the palace. What's the point?"

Nangong Xiao said with a suspicious expression.

Wei Yuhong couldn't help but question the old opponent: "Master Liu, you are old after all, and you have been forgetting things recently. Think about it carefully, is it the will of Your Majesty, or... what the elders mean?"

Liu Liang sneered, "Governor Wei, I don't like to listen to your words. If it weren't for the will of the Lord, who could have let me go this trip in person?"

Wei Yuhong snorted and said to Nangong Xiao: "Mr. Nangong, since I have kept you kindly to Your Majesty, why not go to our governor's Hongyingfang to rest for two days. Don't worry, I will definitely have good wine and meat to protect you."

He specifically put the four words "protect you carefully" very seriously.

Guigui, this dead sissy man named Wei, seems to want to protect this boy Nangong.

Could it be that these two met before?

Li Ran thought about it and suddenly thought of something: "Liu Liang just mentioned the "Ancient Clan". This guy has a more surname in Nangong. Could it be that he is the descendant of... the strongest martial saint in history, Nangong Wuji?"

No wonder he is so proud that he dares to call himself the Empress.

In an instant, he suddenly realized.

Four ancient tribes.

They are the Central Turkish royal family "Xiao Family", "Nangong Family", the Ice Kingdom royal family "Lan Family" from the northern ice field, and the descendant of the ancient demon clan outside the territory, and the Tuoba Family.

These four major families are also the aristocratic families located at the top of the world's martial arts eight hundred years ago.

Their appearance perfected the world's martial arts system and summarized the four martial arts "heart", "body", "qi" and "art", and their unique family skills have their own strengths in these four major fields.

About eight hundred years ago, a beast tide broke out in the Hongmeng Broke Realm at the extreme west. The terrifying and bloodthirsty monsters swept out from the unknown secret realm, destroying the entire extraterrestrial forest and slaughtering countless creatures. At that time, the prince of the ancient demon clan, Tuoba Ling, led 10,000 people to Middle-earth for help.

At that time, the Central Plains had just ended the war, and only two major tribes in the north and south were left, the Huofeng Xiao clan and the Nangong clan, which dominated the southwest.

Because the army of monsters came fiercely, no grass grew wherever they went, and they traveled thousands of miles a day, and they were about to drag the entire continent into hell.

Therefore, the two leaders of the Central Plains dynasty at that time, Empress Xiao Shenyue and Nangong Zhengyi of the Nangong family, joined forces with the Ice Kingdom Saint King Lansi to assemble three million coalition forces to advance outside the territory, and finally destroyed the first tide of monsters outside the human country.

During this monster rebellion, all four major families suffered heavy casualties. For some reason, the Nangong family announced their surrender to the Xiao family. The clan leader Nangong Zhengyi led his clan members to retreat. The Xiao family leader Xiao Shenyue unified the Central Plains and founded the Daxuan of the country, which was the founding holy ancestor.

After that, the Nangong family completely lived in seclusion. Today, the seven most famous martial arts masters in the world, including the martial saints of the dynasty, have nothing to do with the Nangong family.

Of course, except for the monster-level existence a hundred years ago, Nangong Wuji, when this guy came out of nowhere, no one could stop him. Even the top Tianji Sword Saint was defeated by his hands!

What a pity, this guy planned to rebel, and the matter was exposed, and he was beaten to death by hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Does this boy Nangong want to ask an explanation from the empress when he entered the palace this time?"

"Is this too stupid, right?"

Li Ran thought to himself that when he saw that the young man Nangong actually left with Wei Yuhong!

Don't these two people really know each other, right?

This question planted a question mark in Li Ran's mind.

"Brother Xiao, wait."

Zhou Qingdie, the granddaughter of the Zhou family, took a few steps, suddenly turned around and ran to Li Ran: "I just now... thank you, my grandfather, since I was a child, I will repay my kindness to you, and I don't know the name of the young master?"

Li Ran was slightly stunned and was about to speak, Liu Liang on the side said with a smile: "Miss, you can't recognize Mount Tai anymore. This is the national teacher of our Daxuan Dynasty, the second-rank Earl of the East China Sea, and is also

The minister of the fourth princess of the dynasty, whose surname is Li and his name is Ran, do you understand now?”

"Hey? The fourth princess's assistant minister, what is that?" Zhou Qingdie said curiously.

"It is the future husband of His Highness the Fourth Princess." Liu Liang said.

"oh……"

Zhou Qingdie looked at Li Ran deeply, making him feel uncomfortable all over. He could only smile and said with awkward smile: "It's just a matter of raising hands, but Miss Zhou has already said this. If you have any needs in the future, you may really bother you."

"Well! No problem!" Zhou Qingdie nodded happily and looked at him a few more times, as if he couldn't see enough. After a while, he said, "Then I'll say goodbye first, goodbye! Master National!"

"Um."

Li Ran looked at the girl's back as she left, and felt that fate was really wonderful. More than ten years ago, Daxuan's previous national master Murong Yu saved him. After many years, he, the current national master, saved her again.

Alas, it would be great if Brother Murong was not dead. There are so many things to ask him.

Li Ran sighed in his heart.

Next second

No, you'd better...rest in peace.

...

...

That afternoon.

Li Ran had just had dinner with Xiao Wan'er and was about to go around the Holy Beast Mountain when an eunuch came in to report: "Your Highness the Fourth Princess, Mr. Li, Your Majesty summoned all the royal children to the Clan Affairs Council, saying that there was a major event to be announced."

Li Ran's heart was shocked, it must be related to the four ancient tribes!

"Oh, what's the matter? I don't want to go to the Clan Affairs Council. Those elders are fierce." Xiao Wan'er said with a pout.

"It's okay, with my national master protecting you, those elders dare not rape you." Li Ran joked. After spending time together, he had completely treated Xiao Wan'er as his sister, and he had no past remnant when he spoke.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Li, I like you like this! Well... I feel a little bit like Zhao Zilong!"

Xiao Wan'er smiled so brightly, her long legs in white lace stockings swaying up and down, full of youthfulness.

"The princess will be fifteen next month?" Li Ran suddenly asked on the way to the Clan Affairs Council.

"Hey? It seems to be true after hearing what you said." Xiao Wan'er said seriously: "What? Have you thought about what gift to give to this princess?"

"Of course." Li Ran nodded quickly and glanced down involuntarily: "Does the princess love to eat chicken breasts recently?"

"Hmm? Eat some occasionally, why do you suddenly ask this?" Xiao Wan'er frowned slightly: "It's strange..."

"It's nothing, eating more will make you better and you will grow up." Li Ran looked at her with an elder-like gaze.

...

...

The two stepped into the hall of the Clan Council, which was filled with royal children in the imperial capital.

On the tall elder seat, Li Ran saw the tall and outstanding celestial lady who was overwhelming in the audience.

However, today she was wearing a cold and heavy black dragon robe, her long legs were not exposed, and her makeup was not as delicate as before. I guess she had a very heavy mind.

His eyes passed through the three and four elders of the same generation. He soon saw the woman in charge of the ancestral affairs, his master's wife, Xiao Qingwei.

At the same time, the master's wife's eyes just came over and smiled and nodded at him and Xiao Wan'er.

Li Ran hugged him and smiled, then held Xiao Wan'er's hand and sat in the first row. At this time, a girl's voice with a very confusing accent, very low volume, but inexplicably nice sound: "
