Chapter 436: Zi Zhou returns to the dynasty, Yu Mu returns
Qin Yu looked solemn, "Of course, a good minister will not serve the two lords, a warlike pet will not abandon his master, and a good Taoist couple will not change his mind when he sees something different. Although the foreign minister is not talented, how can he leave his homeland and his master and become an official?
Where is Sui?"
"Now in this hall, there are all loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible for them to abandon the Sui Dynasty and join the Pseudo Liang and the Da Chu because of their strength. Isn't this what foreign ministers should imitate?"
"Your Majesty's kindness and favor really make the foreign minister feel scared and extremely grateful. However, because of this, the foreign minister dare not accept your majesty's kindness and harm your majesty's wisdom."
These words were reasonable and reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant, and were impeccable. Even the Sui ministers nodded in approval.
However, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is really thirsty for talents, and he is still unwilling to give up and insists:
"I heard that people who travel far away may be in the end of the world to earn resources for their families to practice. Birds in the northern mountains may chirp in the southern mountains so that their companions in the nest can get worms to eat. These may not be innocent hearts."
"Sir, if you leave your motherland to serve as an official in the Sui Dynasty, you may be able to serve your motherland far away. Not only will you have more opportunities to realize your ambitions, but it will also be conducive to mediating for your motherland. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"With your talent and qualifications, I will definitely entrust you with important responsibilities and treat him as a national scholar. I plan to grant you the title of Vice Minister of Zhongshu, with a fiefdom of thousands of miles. I hope that you can stay in the Sui Dynasty."
After saying that, his eyes looked expectant.
As the king of the Sui Dynasty, even Qin Yu had to feel grateful for his sincere pursuit of talents.
But, it's just gratitude.
Qin Yu held up his hand and said, "Your Majesty is so respectful and condescending to the courtesy and virtuous corporal, it really makes the foreign ministers look up at the mountains and walk in silence. In the Sui Dynasty, with such a wise king as your Majesty, it will not be too long for the Demon Realm to be unified."
"However, the foreign minister has to refuse your majesty's kindness. This is really the foreign minister's sin. Please forgive his sin."
This is another refusal. And everyone can see that Mingshi's attitude is tactful but firm.
There were such ministers in the Ming Dynasty. How could they be despised just because they were weak?
Especially Mou Qianji, the great sage of the hexagram path, looked increasingly solemn.
Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a look of "regret" on his face, "The Ming Dynasty has such a loyal minister as Mr., it is not in vain that the Sui Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty are considered brothers. What crime did you have? That's all, I won't force you.
Already."
Qin Yu felt relieved and said, "Foreign minister Yu, thank you for your forgiveness."
After "testing" Qin Yu, Yang Jian got down to business, "How do you plan to transport 10,000 high-quality demon horses back to your country?"
Qin Yu replied: "Our country and Da Chu are allies. And Da Sui and Da Chu border on each other. Foreign ministers can transport these ten thousand demon horses to the Chu State, and then transfer them to the southern region and transport them back to the Western Region."
This was of course the plan Jiang Yao had discussed with him.
"Well, this is a good idea." Yang Jian nodded, and in order to prevent long nights and nightmares, he immediately ordered: "Qing Taipusi, please take the envoy to the Mocao Plateau to pick up horses."
"According to the order." Mou Shuangrong, the minister of Taipu Temple, had to accept the order.
A choice of words is very particular. Alas, Your Majesty really likes this Qin Yu.
Also, what monarch wouldn’t like such a minister?
Qin Yu quickly thanked him again, and then followed Mou Shuangrong to pick a horse.
Of course, he did not forget to present his national letter and national gift.
The national gift of the Ming Dynasty is the tea produced in Mingshan, which is a specialty. Since tea is rarely produced in the Demon Realm, these high-grade spiritual teas are not bad, and are always liked by the nobles of the Demon Realm.
Of course, compared with the national gifts of Chu State, their value is very different and completely different.
The Ming Dynasty was weak and poor, and Empress Dowager Yang and others could not care about it.
Yang Jian simply and generously rewarded all these spiritual teas to the ministers, "Just give these spiritual teas to the ministers. Normally, spiritual tea is not easy to come by in my demonic realm."
"These three kilograms of snow mist green tea will be left to the Queen Mother."
After the ministers expressed their gratitude, Mou Qianji, the great sage of the hexagram path who was the official minister, said directly: "Queen Mother, your majesty, Jiang Yao has extraordinary luck. He will definitely be a strong enemy in the future. He is destined to compete with your majesty for luck."
"In my opinion, I should detain Qin Yu and send someone to kill Jiang Yao to eliminate an enemy who is fighting for his luck."
"No." Yang Jian's heart trembled, "The world knows that Jiang Yao is also the master of the emerging destiny, not only the minister, not only me."
"Pan Kang is so proud, why is he willing to form an alliance with Jiang Yao? He must know that Jiang Yao has good luck. Yu Kuan must also know that, and even Haihuan and Jiang Zhengyi may also know."
"They are all lucky people, and Jiang Yao is also their enemy. But they didn't do anything to Jiang Yao, and of course I can't do it either. Am I the only one who is so afraid?"
"Although Jiang Yao may compete for luck in the future, this is definitely not my business alone. Why should I stand up for others?"
"If Jiang Yao hinders anyone, it will not be my turn to take action. God knows what will happen in the future. Instead of acting rashly, I might as well wait and see what happens."
Empress Dowager Yang also agreed with Yang Jian's words, "Your Majesty, Shangshu Ling, is right. There are many masters of luck in the world, and your Majesty and Jiang Yao are not the only ones."
"If we send someone to kill Jiang Yao, who will benefit the most? Is it His Majesty? Instead, he may make wedding clothes for others. Isn't that self-defeating?"
Mou Qianji thought about it and could only express his position: "I want to keep it simple. This ginger cannot be killed casually. Otherwise, God knows who will get an advantage."
So, the proposal to get rid of ginger medicine was just aborted.
Ten days later, Qin Yu selected a group of high-quality demon horses on the Mocao Plateau, and was sent out by Sui Emperor Yang Jianli to go south to the Chu Kingdom.
I don’t know how he impressed Mou Shuangrong, the minister of Taipu Temple. He promised to take away 10,000 horses, but he actually took away 11,000 horses.
Among the extra thousand horses, there are even a hundred of the best and most premium demon horses, and they are all mares.
Not counting this, among the eleven thousand high-grade demonic Pegasus horses, mares account for most of them!
I don’t know why Lord Taipusi is so easy to talk to.
Perhaps it is because Taipusi Qing is a woman and is relatively soft-hearted.
As for Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, after finally finishing the major events after the founding of the country, he announced "seclusion and practice".
The major military and state affairs of the Sui Dynasty were completely handed over to Empress Dowager Yang.
According to the temporary system, although the emperor mainly focuses on seclusion and cultivation, he should preside over the imperial court once a month and cannot stay out for a long time.

"The magical power "Illusion" was created by my father in your previous life. Only he and you can practice it. But..."
"But if you want to separate the physical body of the clone, you need to at least enter the Tao, that is, break through to the level of transcending tribulation. This is still the first condition."
In the Ming Palace, Bi Luo Xuanji said to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao had already guessed this. He was a quasi-sage. He seemed to be very close to the saint level, but the saint level was considered the true entry into the Tao. This barrier was much more difficult than the Martial God's breakthrough to the Martial Immortal.
"This is number one, what about second and third?"
Bi Luo Xuanji took a sip of tea and said, "Second, the soul power must reach the divine soul realm."
Jiang Yao nodded. His soul power has reached the Qi Soul Realm and is not far from the Divine Soul Realm.
But similarly, the Soul Realm is also a big difficulty.
"Third, we need to find the ninth-level materials that can be used to shape the body, such as the Five Lotus Moon Lotus Roots and the Qiu Shui Shen Ying. It is best to have both to achieve perfect body shaping."
Ginger Medicine already has Five Lotus and Moon Lotus Roots, but it still lacks Qiu Shui Shenying.
"There is a fourth one." Bi Luo Xuanji glanced at Jiang Yao, who was frowning, "This fourth one requires a ball of chaotic energy."
"Chaos energy is rare in ancient times, let alone now. It should be there, it depends on how you look for it."
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Why?
Because the chaotic energy has medicinal properties. This is what the "Shen Nong Pharmacopoeia" says.
Since it has medicinal properties, it is possible for him to find it. He has a little cotton-padded jacket.
Biluo Xuanji continued: "After separating the souls of the three clones and shaping the physical body, although the personalities are different and the clones have independent consciousness, they are not completely independent. Because the clones must obey the main body."
"Not only must the clone completely obey the will of the original being, but it also has no control over life or death."
"Because the clone's life and body come from the original deity, it is the son of the original deity. This is why I call you my father in the previous life."
"Only when the main body is willing to let the clone have complete freedom and is willing to completely cut off the cause and effect, can he give up the absolute control over his children, and the clone can make his own decisions."
"However, only by practicing Mahayana can I have the strength to completely cut off cause and effect. In other words, if I don't have at least Mahayana cultivation, even if I want to give the clone freedom, it will be powerless."
"Of course my father has this ability, but in order to let me serve him, he has no intention of completely letting me free. So I can only rely on you."
Jiang Yao was silent for a long time, and then said: "I definitely don't have the same personality as in my previous life. I am very willing to let the clone be completely free. However, after the clone is completely free, will it turn against the original person?"
"If I can, then wouldn't I be cultivating my own enemies?"
Bi Luo Xuanji shook his head, "Absolutely impossible. Even if the clone is completely independent, it is a child, even closer than a child, and is naturally kind to the original deity."
"Unless I go too far, how can the clone turn against me? This worry is completely unnecessary."
"The clone wants to be completely independent, not to abandon the original self, but to live more freely. At the same time, only by being completely independent can it be possible to cultivate and become an immortal, that is, to break through to the earthly immortal level."
Jiang Yao asked again: "After the clones have independent bodies, can they still communicate with each other?"
"No." Bi Luo Xuanji replied, "Once you have an independent body, you are another person. Just like the children you gave birth to, their minds cannot communicate with each other. Can you still communicate with your parents and children?"
"At that time, if I want to command the clone, I can only give the order in person or send a flight notification. The clone will also obey unconditionally. However, the thoughts of both parties will no longer be shared."
"In other words, after separation, the main body doesn't know what the clone thinks or does. The clone doesn't know what the main body thinks or does. Just like you don't know another person's thoughts."
"However, if the clone or the original body dies, it will definitely be felt."
"When the clone dies, the main body will not be affected. But if the main body dies and does not die, then the clone's Dao Heart and Dao Foundation will be damaged, and there will be no chance of complete freedom."
Jiang Yao suddenly showed a hint of sadness, "In that case, we are really separated."
Bi Luo smiled mysteriously, "Can't bear it? If you can't bear it, you don't have to give the clone a physical body."
Jiang Yao shook his head, "It's better to separate. I can also have a few more powerful helpers. However, after separation, how will the cultivation, qualifications, and skills be divided?"
Bi Luo Xuanji put down the teacup, "You really asked the most critical question."
"After separation, my cultivation, qualifications, and skills will not be affected at all, but I will be weak for a period of time."
"The clone's cultivation level will not be reduced, and it will all be the cultivation level of overcoming the tribulation. The clone will copy the exercises that are most suitable for itself. As for how many exercises to copy, it depends on the situation."
"For example, I copied 70% of the skills back then. As for qualifications, the clone's qualifications will not be reduced, but his luck will be reduced. But overall, he is still an amazing genius."
"Let's just talk about me. My qualifications are no worse than yours, because I copied my father's qualifications. But my luck is not as good as yours. Also, I don't have complete freedom. I can only practice until I reach the point of transcending tribulations."
"As for magic weapons and resources, it's like dividing a family. Whoever you give more and who you give less depends on whether you are partial. But you are the father, and the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh."
"I understand." Jiang Yao sighed, "It's really like a family separation."
When Jiang Yao said this, he changed the topic and said, "Senior sister, I want you to go to the Biluo tribe..."
Biluo Xuanji shook his head, "Don't even think about it. Although I am the ancestor of the Biluo tribe, how can I face them after dozens of generations? How can they face me? How can they accept me?"
"Do you really think that descendants will listen to the words of an ancestor who suddenly appeared and should have been dead for tens of thousands of years? How can I explain all this?"
"Besides, the bloodline is separated by dozens of generations. How can I prove the identity of the ancestor? The devil knows where I came from."
"You had a clone in your previous life, who was also the ancestor of the Yeyi clan. Do you think the Yeyi clan will recognize you?"
Jiang Yao thought about it and had no choice but to give up.
…
However, it is said that Qin Yu transferred to Chu State and showed the Chu secret agreement, and was ordered by Pan Kang to escort him all the way. The Chu army escorted him all the way to Yue clan.
Li Xi, who had not seen Qin Yu for many years, could not have imagined that someone like Qin Zizhou would become loyal to Qin Yu and become a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Both of them were very happy to meet. Qin Yu generously gave Li Xi a batch of specialties from the Demon Realm. Li Xi also gave him some spiritual Gu.
Except for Jiang Yao, no one knows why the relationship between the two can be so good.
Li Xi sent troops to escort Qin Yu's Demon Xiang Pegasus back to the Western Regions on a long-distance warship.
We encountered several dangers along the way, but they were all resolved by Qin Yu.
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Yu finally returned to the Ming Dynasty. After learning the news, Jiang Yao went out of the palace to greet him in person.
"Oh, Zi Zhou, it's really hard to go to the Demon Realm and travel all over the world this time."
"My lord, I have fulfilled my mission and have successfully formed an alliance with Yang Sui and brought back 11,000 demonic Pegasus horses!"
"Okay! Zi Zhou deserves the greatest credit! But compared to Mo Xiang, I hope Zi Zhou is safe and sound! Now that Zi Zhou is back safely, I feel relieved."
"Thank you, Lord, for your concern..."
Jiang Yao invited Qin Yu into the painting hall, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and listened to Qin Yu talk about his mission.
"Zi Zhou, didn't you say there were 10,000 demon horses before? How come you brought back 11,000, including a hundred excellent demon horses?"
Yang Jian didn't know about this, and Jiang Yao certainly didn't know about it either.
"Uh..." Qin Yu was at a loss for words, but he reacted very quickly and immediately thought of an excuse.
"Isn't I a medicine sage? It happened that Yang Sui's Taipusiqing was poisoned and he was cured by me in time. The Taipusiqing was grateful, so he secretly gave a thousand more horses and a hundred special ones..."
What?
Mou Shuangrong was poisoned, and after being cured, he pretended to be a public servant and used it for his own benefit?
Jiang Yao was a little speechless. He believed that Mou Shuangrong was serving the public good for personal gain. But he didn't believe that Mou Shuangrong was poisoned and was cured by Qin Yu.
The Mou family is a medicine sage.
Even if Mou Shuangrong was poisoned, it was impossible not to invite Mou's Medicine Sage, but to invite Qin Yu, a foreign envoy.
However, Jiang Yao seemed to understand something when he thought that Mou Shuangrong was a woman.
Alas, Zizhou has worked really hard.
Jiang Yao didn't want to embarrass Qin Yu, so he changed the subject and said, "What about Sui Emperor Yang Jian?"
Qin Yu answered without hesitation: "Emperor Sui was a noble man with extraordinary magnanimity and a broad mind. He was truly an outstanding figure among the demon clan. My lord, this person may be a powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the future..."
The two discussed for a long time, and Jiang Yao finally said:
"Zizhou, before the Chinese New Year, I am going to the Central and Eastern Regions to look for some precious medicinal materials. It will be up to you and Shang Xuan to decide all the important military and political matters in the DPRK."
This gives Qin Yu the power to supervise the country.
…
Time flies, the new year arrives, and it snows heavily in Shenzhou.
Outside the Martial Arts Shrine, a woman wearing a mask suddenly appeared today.
Although the woman was wearing a mask, people from the Martial Arts Shrine could still recognize the familiar mask with a ghostly face at a glance.
"It's Daozi!"
"Daozi has returned to the palace!"
"Junior sister Yan is back." Mo Yin's figure immediately appeared, "Junior sister has been away for several years, and today she finally came back."
Yu Yan's mask was extremely advanced, and Mo Yin could not tell her cultivation level, but she was sure that Yu Yan's cultivation level was already higher than hers.
He had just broken through to Wuxian, and was in the early stage of Wuxian. This cultivation speed was already scary. But Yu Kuan was probably in the middle stage of Wuxian, or even the late stage of Wuxian.
"Senior Brother Mo, you are well." Yu Yan said, her voice was very charming, but it was not her real voice.
When you wear that magic mask, your height will change, let alone your voice.
"Master has been waiting for Junior Sister to come back. I have something important to tell Junior Sister," Mo Yin said.
"I know." Yu Kuan entered the magnificent Martial Arts Shrine. He was very skillful in making twists and turns in the palace, making mysterious formations from time to time, and passing through the checkpoints.
After a while, Yu Kuan entered the secret place deep in the Tao Palace: the Shadow Palace.
This is the master of the Martial Arts Shrine, the secret refining palace of the Great Sage Wu Xuan. Except for a very small number of people, ordinary people cannot set foot in it.
"Kun'er, you've been there for a long time this time. It seems that you have gone to a place far, far away."
Deep in the shadow palace, a quiet and calm voice came.
Yu Kuan made a Tao pattern, entered the Shadow Palace, and said with a smile: "It's because my disciple came back late. I haven't seen you for several years, but my master is as charming as before."
Under the magic circle of the secret palace, there is a melodious Taoist rhythm and a fairy spirit. Sitting cross-legged is an old man with silver beard and hair and a majestic appearance.
It is none other than the Great Sage Daoxuan.
"Disciple, I have met the master." After Yu Kuan entered and saluted, he raised his hand and took off his mask.
Of course, you can no longer wear a mask in front of Master.
As soon as she took off her mask, the entire dark hall suddenly lit up. It was like a bright moon suddenly shining into the pine forest at night.
She was wearing a lotus-colored dress, just standing here quietly, like a beautiful scene of the starry sky, a vivid picture of elegance and intoxication, the beauty of youth is unparalleled, and it is difficult to describe it with pen and ink.
The figure is graceful, the hair is flowing, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the skin is like snow.
It's true: the wind flowers are falling, and the robes are fluttering. The bright moon comes out of the world, and the clear shadow shines alone.
Anyone who sees her for the first time will feel the astonishment that lasts for thousands of years. If there is a Xuannv in this world, would she look like this?
The girl is about twenty years old, and her face still has a childish air. However, those phoenix eyes, which are as deep as the starry sky and as bright as autumn water, carry a noble and lofty look that makes people dare not look at them, and have no trace of the naivety of a green girl.
astringent.
She is no longer the little girl she was before. But if Jiang Yao sees her, he will still recognize the grown-up Kanshi at a glance.
"Master, are you worried?" Yu Kuan sat down and smiled slightly, revealing a pair of shallow pimples.
Yu Yan's phoenix-shaped eyes and eyebrows give her a slightly heroic and majestic appearance. However, this pair of pear dimples adds a touch of femininity and playfulness, and they complement each other perfectly.
Her voice sounds gentle and moving at first glance, but it is also ups and downs, calm and unhurried, with an indescribable tension and charm.
"Huh? Kuan'er, you are already a quasi-sage cultivator. This really surprises my teacher." Wu Xuan looked surprised when he saw Yu Kuan's cultivation, even though he knew Yu Kuan's qualifications.
It seems that my beloved disciple has had great opportunities in recent years, otherwise even if he is an innate Daoist, he would not be so fast.
The master and apprentice said a few words, and Wu Xuan said solemnly:
"Kun'er, when I was my master, I accepted you as my disciple, and from then on we formed the relationship between master and disciple. In the past thirty years, I have worked hard and taught you everything I have as a master."
"In total, it's been thirty years now. Ku'er, how can you repay me as my teacher?"
When Wu Xuan said this, his originally kind eyes became indescribably cold and evil.
As he spoke, he raised his hand to seal the entire secret hall.
"Master, you..." Yu Yan's eyes were like scissors, and she couldn't help but look shocked when she saw this.
