Chapter 594 – Princess (5000 words)

Lin An and Emperor Yong Xing had grown up together since they were young and knew his character like the back of their hands.

Seeing his attentive gesture and picking this time, he knew that he had something urgent to ask for.

In the past, when he was still the Crown Prince, when he had something to ask his father and it was inconvenient for him to come out himself, he would ask her to come out to his father.

After all, she, the second princess, was the most favored of the royal sons and daughters.

“Brother Emperor, have something to say.”

Lin An looked around for a while, there were no seats in the imperial study, except for the emperor giving seats, otherwise anyone here would have to stand.

Yongxing Emperor walked up to his sibling and sold the story:

“Do you know how we can work out the ruse of calling for donations?”

Lin An was a bit surprised, not realizing that the emperor’s brother had summoned her here to ask for her advice.

Lin’an immediately had a kind of “rewarded” glad, glad to go to Huaiqing in the afternoon, immediately said:

“A person with enough prestige is needed to call for it, the crown prince’s brother is new to the throne and doesn’t have enough prestige to inevitably suppress the group of ministers.”

Emperor Yongxing instead froze for a moment, not realizing that his sibling’s intelligence had unknowingly soared.

Then he followed the topic and asked, “And who does Prosper feel, has enough prestige?”

Advent relayed the words of Stinky Wyoming:

“The only people in the dynasty who have the prestige to be able to get the ministers to donate willingly are Supervisor Zheng and Xu Qi’an.

“The Supervisor is a truly reputable person, while Xu Qi’an is more of a fierce name, and no one dares to mess with him.”

For a peak martial artist who decapitated the Duke of State and killed the Emperor, the readers, no matter how hard-boned they were, would not be foolish enough to fight him to the death.

“When did Prosperity become so discerning?”

Yongxing Emperor unexpectedly appreciated a sentence and then said:

“I would like to ask you to be a lobbyist, so that Xu Qi’an to come forward to help. Alas, you also know that I just ascended the throne not long ago, wings are not yet abundant nowadays the court is in internal and external trouble, but also suffered a natural disaster, in urgent need of silver relief.”

It turned out to be this ……… Lin An rarely showed a bitter smile, and his round goose egg face was permeated with disillusionment:

“He is not in the capital, nor, nor has he never contacted me.”

It was a little hard for her to say the words, like being forced to admit that she didn’t have enough status in the heart of her dog-slave.

Yongxing Emperor didn’t care about her loss, he waited for this time and was busy saying:

“No, Lin An you don’t know, he’s back, it must be him. In the entire Dafeng, other than him, no Transcendent Realm martial artist would appear in the Sitian Supervisor.”

Lin An suddenly opened his eyes wide, his breathing visibly shortened for a moment, followed by a flood of great surprise and excitement, grabbing Emperor Yong Xing’s arm:

“Really, he’s really back?”

Yongxing Emperor nodded: “There were Qi fluctuations of the Transcendent Realm in the Si Tian Supervisor at dusk, it’s most likely him, I’ve already sent someone to inquire.”

…………

Supervisor Zheng waved his hand, and a teleportation pattern lit up underneath Duo Sentiment Luo Han, clear light engulfed him from the bottom up and disappeared into the Eight Trigrams Platform in an instant.

After subduing the Duo Sentiment Luo Han in the ground, Supervisor Zheng’s wrinkled old face revealed a slight smile:

“Cultivation is progressing well.”

Supervisor Zheng You have something in your words ……… Xu Qi an muttered in his heart, and looked at Luo Yuheng who had an affectionate brow and looked like a silly white sweet, but was actually a sickly petite.

He coughed and withdrew his gaze, saying:

“What is the meaning of your asking the State Master to convey to me that all change is in this winter?”

The supervisor sniffed, picked up his wine cup and took a sip, slowly saying:

“Whether or not the Dafeng kingdom will change hands, whether or not my old bones will live for another five hundred years, and whether or not you, the lucky one who is responsible for half of the country’s fortunes, will be martyred. It all depends on this winter.”

Xu Qi’an’s face was heavy: “You used the means of “Heaven’s Mandate” to spy on the heavenly chances and came to a conclusion?”

Supervisor Zheng didn’t have the heart to say, “I’m using my brain.”

……… Xu Qi An pondered in silence for more than ten seconds and guessed, “You are saying that the rebels in Yunzhou will rise up this winter.”

After Luo Yu Heng relayed these words, he had a similar speculation.

Supervisor Zheng nodded, considered satisfied with his reply, and slowly said:

“Don’t you think that the progress of collecting dragon qi is a bit easier. Although Xu Pingfeng is suffering from a backlash of qi and is afraid that I will set up a trap to kill him, he doesn’t dare to take action against you personally. But with his means, if he wants to deal with you, he doesn’t necessarily need to do it himself.

“Certainly not going to make it that easy for you.”

Xu Qi’an asked, “Then what was he doing all this time?”

He already had the answer in his mind.

“In preparation for a rebellion; in drawing allies.”

The Supervisor gazed out to the west, “Just as Emperor Wuzong pulled in the Buddhist Sect to help him rebel back then.”

Xu Qi’an’s heart sank, “The Buddha Sect has agreed?”

The Supervisor kindly laughed, “Otherwise, why do you think I want to fight with the Garuda Tree. The dispute between the great and small yanas in Aramantha is getting more and more intense, and the conflicts are extremely deep. The Buddha is asleep, keeping the Bodhisattvas and Rohanas at loggerheads.

“But all the same, it has made them jealous in their hearts, and just waiting for the conflict to intensify and reach a point where it has to explode, Aranta will implode.

“In this context, deflecting the conflict is the best option.”

When domestic conflicts cannot be suppressed, the best way is foreign wars ………. Xu Qi’an sighed in his heart, human nature has something in common.

Luo Yu Heng raised an eyebrow, “Back then, the Buddhist Sect had already suffered a loss in this regard, aren’t you afraid that Xu Pingfeng will go back on his word just like you? You must know that the Da Feng court is the most discredited.”

Wicca gave a nod of approval.

Xu Qi’an thought with bittersweet joy.

“This time it’s different!”

The supervisor took a sip of wine and said slowly:

“After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Buddhist Sect flourished like oil on fire. The northern demon barbarians and the remnants of the southern demons, on the other hand, fell apart. The Great Feng is weakening due to the loss of the dynasty’s qi.

“This year, the Sorcerer God nearly broke free of the seal and expanded its territory, beating the demon barbarians to death. Wei Yuan swung his division to Jing Shan City, and all three parties suffered heavy losses. Nowadays, apart from the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom that are lurking out of sight, as well as the Compassionate Race, which has a sparse population.

“All parties are in a weakened state.

“This is the opportunity that the Buddha Sect has been waiting for, this is the situation in the world that did not exist back then when Wu Zong revolted.”

Luo Yu Heng narrowed her beautiful eyes, “Thus, the Buddha Sect doesn’t care if Xu Pingfeng will keep his promise.”

After a pause, she asked with some confusion, “The Buddhist Sect wants to unify the nine states?”

If it was only a mission to the Middle Kingdom, it would inevitably repeat the mistakes made during the time of Emperor Wu Zong.

The supervisor was not answering her.

Xu Qi’an thought of the suicide note Wei Yuan had left him for no reason, and thought of the words Big Qing Yi had said on it:

The world is far harsher than you think!

Combined with the Confucian Sage sealing the Compass God and the Witch God;Wei Yuan would reseal the Witch God even if he had to put his life on the line.

He suddenly realized that in the mists beyond the reach of his gaze lay a higher level of hidden secrets.

And this hidden secret, even a Human Sect Dao Head like Luo Yu Heng, a peak powerhouse, didn’t know!

“And who told Wei Gong?”

A figure flashed through Xu Qi’an’s mind, and an answer came to her heart.

Zhao Shou!

“Confucianism has been passed down for more than two thousand years and has never been broken, as the current Confucian bearer, Zhao Shou knows absolutely a lot of hidden secrets, not even less than the Supervisor. But he is usually too low-key, no, the entire Confucianism is too low-key …….”

Xu Qi’an took a breath, suppressing his fugitive thoughts, and said:

“I have never been able to figure out one thing ……… Supervisor Zheng did you already know that Xu Pingfeng, as well as the submerged dragon city’s lineage is hiding in Yunzhou?”

If he had known earlier, why hadn’t he killed Xu Pingfeng earlier and exterminated that lineage five hundred years ago.

The Supervisor Zheng seemed to have read his mind and faintly said:

“I am not omniscient, nor can the superlative be omniscient.

“As for now …….. Yunzhou no longer belongs to Da Feng.”

He said, looking out to the south and smiling lowly:

“Since you have reached the Super Grade, I will tell you some hidden secrets. Back then, I supported Emperor Wu Zong in clearing the side of the ruler, starting with the fiefdom of Wu Zong in the south, and declared my self-reliance.

“Using that fiefdom as a foundation, step by step we will develop it and nibble away at the neighboring states all the way to the capital.

“Why didn’t the teacher kill me earlier?”

Xu Qi’an’s spirit lifted as he listened, the secret story of five hundred years ago was a taboo for the Dafeng, the first generation was shielded from the heavens by the current generation, and Emperor Wu Zong had destroyed the history books and related records of that year.

To this day, it is impossible to find any clues based on any paper antiquities.

If we can understand how Emperor Wuzong succeeded in his rebellion under the pressure of the first Supervisor, we may be able to extrapolate Xu Pingfeng’s detailed plotting by analogy.

“For a Second Grade Qi Practitioner, the main purpose of supporting an emperor and being a subordinate to the dragon is to refine the Qi Luck. Occupying a continent’s land and practicing a continent’s qi.

“In this process, it will become more and more powerful, which is the origin of the name “Qi Practitioner”. Until they consume the entire Central Plains and establish a dynasty, they will be a First Grade Heavenly Fate Master.

“Qi Practitioners are almost invincible in their own territory.”

No wonder the Supervisor is invincible within the Dafeng territory …….. Xu Qi’an understood:

“You mean that Xu Pingfeng is invincible in Yunzhou? When you realized that he was hiding in Yunzhou, he had already quietly refined Yunzhou. However, you actually didn’t realize it?”

Supervisor Zheng said indifferently, “I likewise didn’t notice when they stole the qi.”

Xu Pingfeng’s ability to steal luck relied on the ability of the Heavenly Compass to “move stars and change buckets”, which meant that Xu Pingfeng still had high-grade Heavenly Compass masters by his side or top-grade magical artifacts with the corresponding abilities.

Xu Qi’an drifted off.

The supervisor was continuing:

“But warlocks have a fatal flaw; once they lose their territory, their power declines. And the so-called invincibility is relative. Even in the Great Bong Territory, it’s impossible for me to defeat and kill multiple First Classes at the same time, and neither can the First Generation.

“That’s why the buddhist bodhisattvas helped us back then and held back the first generation so we could fight all the way to the capital.”

Today s Da Feng situation is almost the same as it was back then ah ……… Xu Qi an dawned:

“So, Xu Pingfeng wants to replicate the way Emperor Wuzong and you did it in the first place.”

And it has worked, with the Buddhists once again playing the role of an instrumentalist.

Warlock is really a system cursed by fate ah ……… Xu Qi an sighed in his heart.

When the father-son showdown began, he had already learned from the “improper son” that the reason the warlocks took on disciples was to keep the system from breaking down.

But the pursuit of a higher level of scenery is the nature of living creatures, which will inevitably result in the apprentice backstabbing the master, generation after generation, children and grandchildren repeated cycle.

Though crude, when you think about it, martial artists actually get away with the most.

Taoist and Warlock aside, there are too many rules and regulations for the Buddhist system to be initiated, starting with keeping the three-year precepts.

The Companions, on the other hand, derive their power from the Companion Gods and are not a system in the traditional sense.

Wizards don’t have a lot of flaws as of now.

“Xu Pingfeng is invincible if he is in Yunzhou?”

Xu Qi’an brought the topic back.

The Supervisor laughed, “We only need to send two or more second graders to fight and restrain him, then send troops to attack and retake Yunzhou, then we can break his “invincible realm”.”

That is why people want to ally with the Buddhist Sect …….. Xu Qi’an nodded, and the Supervisor Zheng’s words were actually telling him the way to defeat the Warlock.

After talking about business, Xu Qi’an said:

“I think the task of unsealing the Divine Distinction is too difficult to accomplish in just two or three months.”

He was politely asking if there was any way to quickly undo the rest of the Demon Sealing Nails.

Supervisor Zheng replied, “Collecting dragon qi is your core task now, you don’t have to care about the rest.”

Xu Qi’an nodded his head once and whispered:

“One more thing, that ancient corpse in the underground palace outside of Yongzhou City has recently been destroyed.”

The supervisor gave a “hmmm” and looked away without saying a word.

Xu Qi’an had long been accustomed to getting along with warlocks, and did not continue to pursue the matter, mentioning it was fine.

“I heard that Caiwei is going to teach her apprentice?”

He asked without words.

The supervisor is not answering.

“Has Senior Brother Sun returned? He’s been missing since the battle outside Yongzhou City.”

The supervisor was in no good humor:

“It’s okay to go.”

Always pulling off unpleasant topics.

“Supervisor Zheng, how long will it take for me to reach the level of the Zhen Guo Sword when I use my dragon qi to warm the Taiping Sword?” Xu Qi’an still had questions to ask and refused to leave.

“It’s not possible in the short term, but it’s enough for it to initially metamorphose and become a half-finished magic treasure.” Supervisor Zheng replied.

Xu Qi’an asked a few more questions, all of which were answered in detail by the Supervisor.

Luo Yu Heng looked at the sky and smiled sweetly:

“Xu Lang, come with me back to Spirit Treasure Guan to double-cultivate.”

…….. Xu Qi’an let out an ‘oh’.

At this time, Chu Caiwei emerged from the mouth of the steps, bouncing in a yellow dress, the wide-eyed cute girl is as lively and cute as ever.

“You’re back!”

She looked at Xu Qi’an with a smile and said:

“Linan and Huaiqing have come to the Szetian Temple and want to see you.”

Luo Yu Heng narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Xu Qi’an glanced at Lord State Master, confused.

“Snort!”

Supervisor Zheng let out a light laugh, let you go or not, you deserve to die.

………..

The bottom of the building.

Li Ling Su said incredulously:

“I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect Brother Yang to have such a tragic past, that Xu Qi’an repeatedly took your chance, he is really not a proper son.

“The Supervisor is abandoning his own personal disciples as if they were his own in order to support him, hateful!”

This Si Tianjian is not to be treated ……… Yang Qianyi sighed:

“What happened to Brother Li is equally heartbreaking. I won’t even be able to raise my head in front of him in the future.”

“Don’t, don’t say it ……..”

Li Lingsu scraped his feet hard on the ground.

The two men were silent for a moment, welling up with sympathy.

Yang Qianyi grunted, “He will have his retribution.”

Li Lingsu nodded his head vigorously, “If you don’t believe me, look up and see, the heavens have spared no one.”

After a few seconds, he said indignantly, “Even if he has a confidante in the Zhenbei King’s Crown Princess, he actually even wants to double-cultivate with him.”

? A big question mark floated through Yang Qianyi’s mind.

“Luo Yu Heng and Xu Qi An are in dual cultivation?”

“You say it’s exasperating.” Li Lingsu nodded, “The princess is so beautiful, I’ve never seen a woman in my life who can match her beauty. The State Master is likewise a rare and stunning beauty in the world.”

Yang Qianyi was confused, he didn’t know the secret that Xu Qi’an was harboring the luck of the Great Feng Kingdom, but this matter didn’t make Yang Qianyi feel jealous.

Whether it’s the State Master or the Princess, in the view of Brother Yang, it’s not even as enviable as a few people in the capital shouting “Xu Yinluo is a hero”.

“By the way, I’ve heard that Xu Qi’an still has some confidants in the capital, does Brother Yang know the details?”

Li Lingsu asked curiously, thinking that strange women like the State Master and the Royal Consort were rare in the world.

But Xu Qi’an couldn’t have every confidante be this stunning.

And each of the women in Li Ling Su’s love affair is a beautiful person with excellent posture.

If Luo Yu Heng and the crown princess were excluded, one’s confidantes wouldn’t be any worse than Xu Qi An.

Yang Qianli thought about it and said:

“That’s not quite clear, I’ve never cared about trivial matters in this regard. But Xu Qi’an is indeed quite appealing to women.”

Li Lingsu pursued, “How are those women in good looks?”

Yang Qianyi laughed and said, “They’re just commoners, I’ve never looked at them with my eyes.”

For keeping your back turned.

So disdainful ……… Li Lingsu has a number in his heart.

At this time, Li Miaozhen and the others went and returned, bringing out a woman with disheveled hair and wearing a linen robe.

Li Lingsu guessed that this unkempt woman was the “Zhong Li” mentioned by his sister.

Such a scruffy woman naturally couldn’t catch the eyes of the Holy Son, who calmly withdrew his gaze and observed the expressions of the members of the Heaven and Earth Association.

Seeing that they weren’t mocking or teasing, the holy son secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Li Miaozhen introduced:

“She is Zhong Li, the fifth disciple of the Supervisor, a fifth grade warlock.”

Considering that Doomstalker was a personal matter, she didn’t tell Scum Master.

Li Lingsu let out a “hmm” and left the ground with the group.

As she picked up the steps, Li Miaozhen reminded, “You two had better stick to the wall.”

“Why?”

“Slippery roads!”

Li Ling Su looked at her like a fool and didn’t take it to heart.

You think he’s afraid of slippery roads when he’s a fourth-grade YuanYing?

In the end, just a few steps, the holy son suddenly felt a slip in the soles of his feet, from the stone steps “grunt” rolled down.

He grimaced in pain, natch:

“Also, it’s really quite slippery.”

This time, he paid close attention to his feet, looking down at the road every now and then.

After a thrilling thirty steps, the weird foot slip came back, and Saint Son rolled all the way to the bottom, falling so hard that he didn’t even recognize his mother.

“Told you to stick to the wall!” Li Miaozhen laughed.

Hengyuan opened his mouth and glanced back at Li Miaochen behind him, who was usually very proper.

But since reuniting with his senior brother, Li Lingsu, his heart has darkened.

Li Lingsu raised his head and looked at Miao Youfang who also didn’t walk against the wall:

“Do you think your feet are slippery?”

Miao Youfang flipped on the stairs, “It’s not slippery.”

This guy has quite a lot of drama …….. Chu Yuanzhan glanced at Miao Youfang.

Li Lingsu thought for a moment and said, “I’m not going, you guys go up first.”

He looked around warily, suspecting that Li Miaozhen was backstabbing him, but he had no proof.

“This senior brother of mine, he’s a flirt and womanizes everywhere. Every once in a while, we have to let him know about the dangers of the jianghu.”

Li Miaozhen gave her reasons by way of voice transmission.

Everest thought about it and agreed with her.

Chu Yuanzhan, on the other hand, felt that something was wrong and transmitted his voice:

“Don’t you think Xu Qi’an also picks up women.”

Li Miaozhen was surprised, “Yes?”

Chu Yuanzhuan: “……..”

Only after seeing the four people leave did Li Lingsu let out a sigh of relief.

“Zhong Li is a fifth grade warlock called a seer. Warlocks in this realm will be jinxed and implicate those around them.”

Suddenly, a low voice sounded behind him.

Li Ling Su looked back and saw a back.

“So it is!”

Li Ling Su felt that the act of showing the back of his head was somewhat familiar while he came to a sudden realization.

Whirling around a bit unconvincingly, he said, “Then why am I the only one who fell down ……..”

He suddenly stopped talking, with a look like he’d eaten a dead rat.

……….

This time, Li Lingsu returned to the ground without any crisis, and the moment he pushed open the door leading to the ground, Yang Qianyi synchronized his teleportation and appeared behind him, still with his back to him.

“Where did they go?”

Li Lingsu asked when she realized that Miao Youfang was waiting at the entrance.

Miao Yufang then said:

“Just now, I heard the warlock in the lobby talking to Daoist Li, and it seems that the two princesses are here.”

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, “I’m just a grasshopper, I don’t dare to meet that kind of big shot.”

………..
