Chapter 720: Human Heart

PreviousBack to directoryNext
After the earthquake, everything in Wang'an City was quiet.

Ji Qianqian stood on the gate tower of Beiluomen in the north of Wang'an. She looked coldly around the inside and outside of Wang'an City, her hand pressing the knife tightly and her aura was fierce.

The Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards of the Dalu Dynasty implemented a curfew throughout the city and strictly ordered residents in the city not to leave their residences or to make loud noises.

When the earthquake occurred, there were many rogues and martial arts practitioners who tried to cause trouble and started riots, but they were all suppressed by the Jin Yiwei.

At this time, a series of heads were hung on several main streets in Wang'an City.

Showing his decisiveness and ruthlessness in calculating money.

After the earthquake, anyone who dares to use force in the streets and resist martial law will be shot to death regardless of the reason!

In fact, after the earthquake, the military morale of Wang'an City's Imperial Guards and some of the Imperial Guards also fluctuated.

Fortunately, Chu Xisheng, the emperor of the Dalu Dynasty, had a high prestige in the military and among the people.

Although this continuous change in the sky made the soldiers of the Forbidden Army uneasy, it could not shake their respect for the emperor. The whole army still followed orders and prohibitions.

The people of Wang'an City were also very obedient.

They fell into a dream for two years under the rule of Emperor Jianyuan. No less than 30 million people died. They were hungry without knowing it, and their bones were exposed in the wild. During this period, many tragedies that were contrary to human ethics occurred.

It wasn't until Chu Xisheng went north that their nightmares were driven away.

Moreover, in the Dalu Dynasty, the fields were divided equally, the corvee was light and the tax was light, and the administration of officials was clarified.

In the past two years, their life was indeed much better than under Daning's rule, and even better than the years when Emperor Jianyuan ascended the throne.

Therefore, the two prefectures of Heluo and Heluo now have the most support for the Dalü Dynasty in the world, and they least want the Dalü Dynasty to cause trouble again.

They were very cooperative with the court's laws and regulations.

However, she didn't dare to be careless when it came to money. She was condescending, her eyes scanning the inside and outside of the city like an eagle.

Within Ji Qianqian's field of vision, any tiny abnormality could not escape her eyes.

You can see raging fires erupting from time to time in the city.

It is winter now, and the sun and moon have been without light in the mortal world for nearly a month.

Although the areas near Shenzhou were not affected because Chu Xisheng used his body to replace the sun, the places outside Shenzhou had accumulated a lot of cold air because the sun had not shone for a long time.

The entire China area was also affected, making this winter particularly harsh.

In such weather, it is impossible not to let the people light fires to keep warm.

However, the power of disaster gods such as Yinghuo, Fudou, and many fire gods are wreaking havoc in the mortal world.

Any sparks that pop out at this time may cause a fire.

Ji Qian Qian stood motionless. She was responsible for man-made disasters, and naturally someone would be responsible for natural disasters.

With her eyesight, she could see a giant bird with a wingspan of 710 feet, six legs and four wings, with a wingspan of 710 feet and a shape like a cloth bag.

hover.

That was Chu Yunyun’s newly conquered spiritual pet—Di Jiang! A divine bird of the emperor’s rank.

It hovers in the sky. Whenever a fire breaks out on the ground, the Emperor Bird will suck in the flames and directly absorb the flames into its own body.

It is responsible not only for Wang'an City, but also for the surrounding areas tens of thousands of miles away, preventing large-scale fires in the cities, villages and towns below, and protecting the essence of the entire Darü Dynasty.

Just when Ji Qianqian was on alert, a slightly hoarse female voice came into her ears.

"I heard that the Flame Sword Celestial Torch, ranked twenty-three on the Heavenly Ranking, died in your hands?"

That's Chu Ming.

Her figure came from the sky and came to Ji Qianqian's side.

This guy then said "tsk": "It's really true! This guy is so brave, he deserves it!"

This is because Chu Ming has already seen the head of the ‘Flame Sword’ Men Tianju.

It's because of this person that he dared to create chaos in Wang'an City, and Chu Xisheng caused chaos in front of his eyes; it's because of his deservingness that he betrayed his ancestors and actually colluded with the Eternal God Clan.

Chu Ming thought that in this era, there are still people who are stupid enough to fall in love with the Eternal God Clan and risk their lives to cause chaos in Wang'an City.

What benefit can those giant spirits give him?

She turned and clicked her tongue in admiration: "It is said that this person was in your hands, and after only two rounds, he was beheaded with a knife. His Majesty and Queen were just like this in the past. By the way, Qianqian, when will you be promoted to the first rank?"

Killing twenty-three on the Heavenly Ranking with two moves, this is already the level of the top three on the Heavenly Ranking.

Nowadays, when it comes to calculating money, one’s physical strength is only at the second level.

What is commendable is that the level of Tianbang in this era is generally better than before.

"What you said is too exaggerated. The Flame Sword Celestial Torch is only worthy of its name and is far weaker than you think."

Ji Qianqian shook his head, not feeling that this was anything to be proud of.

What's more, how can she compare to Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun in the second-grade period?

When your Majesty is promoted to the second level, he will be able to kill gods; when he reaches the third level, he will be able to show off his power under the God of Creation Tree.

And her current fighting strength is also the result of Chu Xisheng's help.

It was Chu Xisheng who used the power of wishful thinking to help her strengthen her physical body several times; it was also Chu Xisheng who brought back the 'Holy Monument', which allowed her to increase her bloodline power to the limit in the past few years.

It was Chu Xisheng who asked Ziyu to grant divine favor and help her greatly improve her 'unparalleled' bloodline derived from the military god Ziyu.

As for the promotion to the first rank, Ji Qian Qian was not willing to talk to Chu Ming.

However, when he thought about this, Ji Qianqian couldn't help but put his hand into his sleeve and stroked the divine bow 'Sunset' inside his sleeve.

——That was the magic weapon of the former ‘Gow God’ Tianyi.

Your Majesty borrowed this weapon from unknown sources and gave it to her for use temporarily.

His Majesty also designed a set of powerful secret rituals for her, which will allow her to advance to the first level, super level, and even become a god in the future without any obstacles.

It's just that the time has not come yet.

Ji Qianqian immediately discovered that Chu Rulai, who was following Chu Ming, was looking at her hand that had reached into her sleeve.

Ji Qianqian's heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm: "Your voice has become nicer."

In the past, Chu Ming's voice was like a broken gong.

My face also looks much better, unlike before where there was always a layer of blackness on my face.

In addition, there are also changes in personality,

When she first became a evil corpse, Chu Ming not only looked resentful, but also looked lifeless and eccentric.

"Yeah?"

Chu Ming touched her throat complacently: "Two months ago, His Majesty said that I was very diligent in doing things, so he took action to complete some of my inner world."

The key is that her physical body has also undergone some changes, and her flesh and blood has regained a little vitality and gained a little warmth.

Although the current state is still neither dead nor alive, at least it is not like before, where the whole person is a cold rotting corpse.

"I see."

Ji Qianqian nodded slightly.

She did feel that Chu Ming's energy became more restrained.

The more perfect the inner heaven and earth are, the more the Qi will converge.

Therefore, for Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun, ordinary people can no longer sense their external intelligence.

Next, she warned with eyes: "Since His Majesty values ​​you so much, you should know what is good and what is bad, and do your best to serve him! I also received news that you had a killing spree last night, not only in the Xiangshu prefectures

You killed tens of thousands of martial arts cultivators in one night, and several super-class ones died at your hands?"

Ji Qianqian initially had a bad feeling for Chu Ming.

But after all, they have worked together for so many years, and no matter how strong their resentment against Qian Qian is, it has been almost worn away.

Now she felt that this woman was quite pitiful.

In her early years, she was just a girl who was spoiled by her parents. She suffered a bloody blow in the Wuxiang Shen Sect, and after she began to understand the world, she was tricked by her uncle, betrayed by her father and family, and ended up in the situation she is in now.

However, sympathy was sympathy, and Ji Qianqian was still worried about Chu Ming and wary of Chu Ming as always.

After hearing this, Chu Ming was not unhappy at all.

She experienced the world and heard that behind Ji Qianqian's warnings and exhortations, there was also some concern for herself.

This is extremely rare for her.

The woman who counts money is actually the most kind-hearted.

"As expected of the leader of Jinyiwei, he is quite well-informed."

Chu Ming smiled and stroked the hair in front of her forehead: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion. Everyone I kill has a way to die. Those super-quality people have ulterior motives and are not very honest. In the local area

The wealthy families in the country want to use the power of these superb martial arts cultivators to seek self-protection. I am ordered by Your Majesty to clean up the southwest, how can I allow them to live freely? There are some things that are not convenient for Your Majesty to do, so I can only use this sword.

Come and do it. Isn’t that why Your Majesty uses me?”

Chu Ming pointed forward again: "Isn't that what you do with money? When greed and jealousy blind people, the only way is to strictly enforce laws and regulations, use thunderous means, and use severe punishment to shock them, so that they know how to advance and retreat, and how to weigh.

, Only in this way can the Holy Emperor’s kindness be shown.”

Counting money, Qian was silent.

Although the southwestern states were placed under the jurisdiction of Dalu earlier than the Heluo states, they have never been submissive. The powerful local nobles have always criticized the imperial court's policy of dividing farmland and equalizing land.

Recently, they have also been linked to some super-grade martial arts cultivators who were unblocked by Chu Xisheng.

Not all of these nine thousand demigods are grateful to Chu Xisheng, and not all of them are willing to work together for the revitalization of the human race in China.

Many of them are unruly and ambitious men who have no choice but to choose to proclaim themselves in order to gain future vitality.

Originally, under the suppression of Chu Xisheng's power and prestige, neither the powerful nobles in the southwest nor those demigod martial cultivators dared to make any mistakes.

However, when the divine power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire under Jidu began to wreak havoc on the world, these people began to become restless.

"Your idea is not wrong."

Ji Qianqian shook his head with a serious look on his face: "The problem is that you killed many people without any evidence and were executed without guilt. If you do this, not only will there be gossip in the court, but it will also make it difficult for His Majesty."

Chu Ming laughed dumbly.

She thought that after today, there would be more than just gossip in the court.

In the future, the ministers of Yi, Shu, Xiang and other places will not be able to push her bullets three feet high.

"At this time of year, how can I have the time to look for any evidence? As long as they behave suspiciously and let my Yazhan knife sense hostility, that's enough. Should we wait until they actually rebel to make the situation worse?

You see, the southwest states are very stable now, and I can ensure that within ten days, no one will dare to cause trouble there. If Your Majesty is held responsible for this, I am willing to be punished."

Chu Ming trusted Chu Xisheng.

Knowing that Chu Xisheng would never abandon his chess pieces at will like Emperor Jianyuan did.

She then flew into the air again: "I won't talk to you anymore. Her Majesty the Queen has returned, and I have to report my duties to her."

Ji Qianqian frowned when he saw this, but then he still reminded him loudly: "Chu Ming! You have to be careful!"

After hearing this, Chu Ming laughed: "Are you worried about me as a father?"

She turned around and patted the expressionless Chu Rulai on the shoulder.

"I know this guy is not very honest and I have been keeping an eye on him. In fact, the one you should really be careful about is you. People's hearts are fickle and are the most elusive thing in the world. Wang'an City is also the place with the largest population and the most prosperous martial arts in the world.

The divine power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire is pervasive, and it will not be easy for you to suppress this capital without causing trouble."

After she finished speaking, she continued to fly towards Miyagi.

Ji Qianqian looked at her back, and the vigilance in his eyes calmed down a little.

It would be good if Chu Ming was wary of Chu Rulai's thoughts.

This person's life or death depends on Chu Ming's thoughts, and he should not be able to get out of the trap.

As for Chu Ming's warning, Ji Qianqian wasn't too worried.

She did not dare to ignore the power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire, but she was confident about it.

Chu Ming probably still doesn't know what kind of power the prime minister of their Dalu Dynasty has now.

Thinking of that short fat guy Jian Zangfeng.

While counting the money, Qian couldn't help but look in the direction of Tianlao.

I wonder if what Jian Zangfeng is doing has been completed?

※※※※

At this time, Jian Zangfeng was sitting with Fang Buyuan in the sky prison where the 'Seventh Generation Shangfu' Dugu Shou was imprisoned.

"This is our condition." Jian Zangfeng looked solemn and sincere: "I wonder what Mr. Dugu's business is like?"

Fang Buyuan, who is the Minister of Household Affairs of Dalu, smiled and said: "Mr. Dugu, we spent a lot of effort and many words to convince Queen Lu this time to get her to agree.

I know that you are loyal to the Daning Dynasty and will never change your life. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to accept my surrender to my emperor. But you might as well regard this matter as a transaction and spend the rest of your life in exchange for the Daning Sheji.

Subsisting."

Jian Zangfeng did not speak anymore, but looked at Dugu Shou intently, waiting for the answer from Grand Master Daning.

The condition they offered for Dugu Shou was that after Dalu captured the Central Plains in the future, they would choose a son from Lu Luanli's knees to inherit the Daning Kingdom and establish a separate vassal state in the Central Plains.

Destroying the country without stopping sacrifices has also been the tradition of China throughout the ages.

Jian Zangfeng thought that if even this method could not persuade Dugu Shou to surrender, then they would have no choice but to give up.

Dugu Shou, who had half-closed his eyes, was looking at Jian Zangfeng's hand.

His right hand has been holding a scale.

The two ends of the scale were constantly swaying and rising, but they always maintained a general balance.

There was a strange look in Dugu Shou's eyes: "Are you measuring and balancing people's hearts?"

Jian Zangfeng nodded: "Exactly, the human heart is elusive, difficult to measure, and even more difficult to balance, which makes the Grand Master laugh."

He can only balance the divine power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire in the two states of Heluo, so that the people of the two states will not be greatly affected.

"——As you can see, the gods are frequently bringing disasters to our human race at this time. If our race cannot work together to overcome the difficulties, the day when our race will be destroyed is not far away in the future."

After Dugu Shou heard this, he was secretly frightened.

The fate of Wuxiang Shenzong is really hard to describe.

After Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun, there is such a peerless talent.

He can even measure and balance the human heart, so how powerful has his method of leveling and balancing the sky become?

Dugu Shou immediately looked puzzled: "I want to know, how virtuous and capable Dugu Shou is -"

After all, among the nine thousand super-grade martial arts cultivators that Chu Xisheng unsealed, there were not only one thousand but also three hundred who were more capable than him.

How could he be so virtuous and capable as a solitary being that he could be so valued by the four generations of Holy Emperors?

But halfway through, Dugu Shou realized that this question was meaningless.

So he changed his voice: "At this time when the human race of China is in danger, Dugu Shou is willing to do his best. However, I want your Majesty's personal promise to seal the country."

Jian Zangfeng smiled upon hearing this and looked pleased: "That's no problem. It's a great blessing for our family to have Mr. Dugu help us."

Lord Tu Dexing has given a promise that he can select one person from the human race to become the top three true spirits of the Heaven-Suppressing Method.

Among the countless strong men in the human race, the only one who has mastered a powerful and reliable way to suppress the sky is Dugu Shou.

You need to know that their Queen of the East Palace is a direct descendant of the Ning Dynasty.

Their relationship with the Daning Imperial Master is by no means a life-and-death relationship.
