Chapter 550: Luo Wuxie enters the Zhou Palace gracefully, and Lailazi narrates her grief
All the ministers knew that Li Shizhen was Jiang Yao's "master".
It stands to reason that they have every reason to oppose Li Shizhen. The reason for shielding his apprentice and abolishing public service for private purposes is enough.
But no minister came up with such a good reason.
Just like, Li Shizhen will never be a person who abandons public affairs for personal reasons.
This feeling is also very strange.
Yu Yan returned to Xingkong Pavilion, and after making some arrangements, he sent another flying message to Jiang Yao:
"Brother Yao, Li Shizhen is back, and he also helped me deny the proposal of Zhengming."
Soon Jiang Yao's reply arrived, "What's his apparent reason?"
Yu Kuan replied: "There are two superficial reasons. One is that the signs are ominous, and the other is that the Zhou Dynasty needs to repair its internal affairs."
"As for the real reason, I feel that he didn't want the Ming Dynasty to perish. He didn't want to see the Zhou Dynasty unify the Divine Continent."
Yu Yan's analysis makes sense.
Does Zhou State have the strength to destroy Ming Dynasty?
have.
At least now, the Zhou Kingdom has the strength to destroy the Ming Dynasty. If the Zhou Kingdom stops the civil war and conquers the Ming Dynasty, the nobles of the Wu family and the Ten Thousand Immortal Army will support it wholeheartedly.
Because the Zhou State was not like the Qing State, its main force was restrained by the Chu State.
In fact, if the main force of the Qing army had not been restrained by the Chu army, Jiang Yao would not have been able to swallow up the southern region, nor would he be a match for the Qing.
The Ming State actually took advantage of the Chu State. It was the Chu State that held back the main force of the Qing army, and the Ming Army was able to achieve a great victory in its southern expedition.
But Zhou and Qing were different.
Although the Zhou Kingdom is in a civil war, this civil war will stop at any time because of Yu Kuan's compromise, and it will stop at any time because of the agreement to conquer the Ming Dynasty.
As long as Zheng Ming is established, Zhou Ting will be able to mobilize huge force.
Although Qi State borders Zhou State, the two countries have ceased war long ago. Unlike the Qing Army, the Zhou Army could not spare its main force to deal with the Ming Army.
However, although the Zhou Kingdom has the strength to destroy the Ming Dynasty, it does not have the absolute certainty to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
If the Zhou army conquers the Ming Dynasty, it is still possible to fail despite the exhaustion of troops. However, the possibility of destroying the Ming Dynasty is greater.
However, Li Shizhen opposed Zheng Ming, and objectively he must have helped Jiang Yao.
The ginger medicine had just been swallowed by the Southern Territory and had not yet begun to be digested. The Ming army also suffered losses. The reform in the Southern Territory had just begun. The most worried person at this time was Zhou Guozhengming.
Fortunately, they were suppressed by Yu Kuan and Li Shizhen.
"No matter who among us unifies the Divine Continent, we cannot avoid Li Shizhen and Luo Hong." Jiang Yao said.
"This feeling is very bad. We are in the open and have no secrets. They are in the dark and have ulterior motives."
Regarding this problem, Jiang Yao can only complain, but has no good countermeasures. He can only take one step at a time.
He knew that Yu Yan had nothing to do about it.
She clearly knew that the real Yi Guizang died in the desert and that the current Great Sage of Gua Dao was not the real Yi Guizang, but she could only pretend to be confused.
Sure enough, Yu Yan, who was equally helpless, could only reply with a change of topic:
"Is that harmful impostor still with you?"
"Yao'er, do you think I'm so generous that I don't care?"
"How long will she stay with you?"
"When are you going to tell her to get lost?"
"Hmph, last time we were in that oasis, Yao'er, you had her help, but you were very arrogant. You occupied all six reincarnation towers."
Jiang Yao didn't expect that Yu Kuan would mention this.
"Kun'er, if you don't dare to kill her, how can I dare? Luo Hong and Li Shizhen's group may be related to the so-called gods in ancient legends. You know this."
"As for Xuan Miao, I suspect she is my sister."
Yu Yan smiled and replied:
"What did you say? I suspect it's your sister? Yao'er, I know your character and I don't believe you. You don't have to find such a lame excuse."
Jiang Yao: "It's not a reason, it's really very possible..."
He told his guess again, and Yu Yan was a little speechless.
"That's probably it. If she is really your sister, haha..." Yu Yan looked strange.
"I met your father in the Void Sea. He doesn't look like an honest man."
"He is very good at acting in front of Concubine Canyao. He must have hidden many of his love affairs from Concubine Canyao."
"From Concubine Can Yao's tone, she must know something, but there is no evidence... Hey, Brother Yao, you are his son, not Father Xiao, right?"
Jiang Yao was speechless: "How is that possible? Jiang Zhengxiang is just like him. I am the second child, Xiao's mother."
"Okay, your mother Xiao." Yu Kuan replied, "I won't talk to you anymore and let's get down to business."
"The first thing is that your sixtieth birthday next year, a birthday of sixty years, can be said to be the first birthday worthy of celebration for monks of our generation."
"I will go to Ming Dynasty to celebrate your birthday."
Jiang Yao replied: "When you come to the Ming Dynasty, aren't you afraid of criticism from the officials of the Zhou Dynasty? They will say that you abolished the public affairs for private purposes, colluded with Ming thieves, and affected your throne."
Yu Kuang: "Hmph, it's my husband's birthday, Jiazi, and as the head of the country, I don't even have the right to come to celebrate his birthday?"
"Then I, the emperor, am not a puppet?"
"When the time comes, whoever dares to touch my brow, I will deal with him. Whoever makes me unhappy for a moment, I will make his whole family unhappy for the rest of his life."
Jiang Yao could only reply: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come and celebrate my birthday."
He had no objection to the sixtieth birthday, because since ancient times, the sixtieth birthday has been a very important birthday for monks.
It represents the perfection of the road, which begins again and again.
Especially since he is now the head of a country, Jiazi's birthday is a national etiquette, and it is not his fault.
If he doesn't live long enough, the Ministry of Rites disapproves of it in the first place.
This is also an opportunity to unite the identity of the Ming Dynasty.
"The second thing." Yu Kuan replied again, "You must reform your methods and strengthen your army. Within five years, I will definitely come to fight you and I will not give you any more time."
"Five years are for you, the Ming Dynasty, and also for the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty needs to renovate its internal affairs."
"Either you have the ability to destroy Zhou, or I can destroy Ming. Between you and me, the two Gu insects must choose a strong one first."
"The Divine Continent must be unified by force. Is five years enough?"
"Well, it can't be helped if it's not enough. I won't wait too long."
Jiang Yao was silent for a while before replying:
"To be honest, five years is not enough. I have just unified the Southern Territory. If I have five years to implement reforms, my power will not explode."
"However, you have tried your best. If you delay it any longer, you will be giving up."
"Within five years, I will wait for you to destroy it."
"Kun'er, maybe before you come to destroy the Ming Dynasty, I will conquer the east and destroy the Zhou Dynasty!"
"When the troops arrive at the city, Yanshi, don't be reluctant to give up your throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Yu Kuan replied: "Okay! Brother Yao, you are domineering! Based on your words, when I destroy the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely treat your ministers well."
"For example, for Qin Yu, I will give him the official position of eighth-grade county magistrate and let him serve for a thousand years."
The two were chatting on Feixun when suddenly Huaying came in and reported:
"Your Majesty, Queen Luo Wuxie of the Sui Kingdom is already outside the palace. Also accompanying her is a great demon with unfathomable cultivation."
"Oh? She really dares to come? Not bad. Please come in." Yu Kan said with a smile.
"Yes." Yueying stepped back.
"Brother Yao." Yu Kuan replied to Jiang Yao again, "Do you know who came to Zhou Palace? Luo Wuxie! She is the wife of your first life."
Jiang Yao quickly replied: "She has nothing to do with me, Jiang Yao. I am not Yang Xuanming, I am Jiang Longcheng."
"Hey, why does she dare to come? It's strange. The empress of the Sui Dynasty, with her noble status, went to the meeting alone and entered the Zhou Dynasty alone?"
Yu Yan replied: "Are you worried? Don't worry, I won't do anything to her."
Jiang Yao: "..."
Yu Kuan: "I promise to return her true soul to her, but only if she comes to get it herself, and I will not go to the Demon Realm."
"The Sui Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, and has taken over half of the Demon Realm. I must face this grudge. Not to mention turning enemies into friends, at least we can jointly resist Mei Mei."
"So, I also have conditions. My condition is that the two countries form an anti-tapir alliance and reach a peace agreement on the northern defense line."
"To reach an anti-tapir peace agreement and maintain the overall situation of the anti-tapir war, I must be sincere and return Luo Wuxie's true soul."
"This true soul has helped me. It was once a part of me, but I don't need it now. I might as well give it back to her, so that I can feel clear about it."
"I can't believe she actually dared to come."
Jiang Yao knew that the reason why Luo Wuxie dared to come must have something to do with Yang Jian.
Yang Jian is not worried that Yu Kuan will be harmful to Luo Wuxie.
Jiang Yao also knew that Yu Kuan and Zhou State needed Sui State's "friendship" very much now.
The Liang State, which was unable to protect itself from the Sui State's offensive, had colluded with the Charming Tapir under the inducement of the Qing State, causing a terrible situation in the northwest against the Tapir.
As a result, the defense line of Shenzhou North Territory will be very dangerous.
If there is not a strong anti-tapir force in the northwest to withstand it, Zhou will be under the greatest pressure.
The first to be unlucky is definitely the Northern Territory, followed by the Demonic Territory and the Western Territory.
Once the Northern Territory falls, the consequences for Shenzhou will be disastrous.
Therefore, Yu Kuan wanted to seek help from Sui!
However, what Yu Yan didn't know was that Yang Jian was actually Jiang Yao's "son"!
She knew that Jiang Yao had practiced "Illusion" in her previous life, but she didn't know that Jiang Yao had practiced "Illusion" again in this life.
Because after reincarnation, this kind of skill will generally be forgotten and the memory will not be revived again.
If she knew that Yang Jian was Jiang Yao's man, would she still be worried that Yang Jian wouldn't actively resist Charming Tapir?
If you want to blame, blame Jiang Yao for being a big trotter, concealing this important matter, and turning her into a big injustice!
"Brother Yao, she's here, I won't tell you anymore."
"Oh, I have really good intentions and worked hard for the overall situation of Shenzhou's fight against tapirs."
Yu Yan praised himself one last time, collected the communication beads, and stood up to greet the guests.
Two Sui women entered the Starry Sky Pavilion under the guidance of Zhou Palace guards.
I felt pity for a woman wearing a purple dress. She looked beautiful and fragrant. Her demeanor was graceful and graceful, and she also carried a noble and dignified demeanor.
She is also an unforgettable beauty.
Her cultivation level is not high, she is just a demon, but her gait when she walks into the hall makes her seem like she is wandering in her own Sui Palace.
Hun didn't take the heavily guarded Dazhou Imperial Palace seriously.
Even Yu Yan couldn't help but secretly praise this woman when she saw her demeanor and grace. She really had a lot to say.
There was a woman beside Luo Wuxie. She was tall, had a cold breath, and had an ancient attitude. She was actually a half-step immortal!
No, she is not a half-step immortal.
Yu Kuan could tell that she was a great immortal. It was just that under the suppression of heaven, her cultivation level decreased, and she fell to the level of half-immortal.
Yu Yan couldn't see her true form, but he knew she was a great demon.
With such strong protection, it is no wonder that Luo Wuxie dared to come to Zhoujing from a distant demonic realm with the dignity of the Demon Queen.
These two women are, of course, Luo Wuxie and Madam Xiaoyue.
Mrs. Xiaoyue was Yang Xuanming's war pet back then, and the tomb-guarding beast that guarded Yang Xuanming's tomb in the Ghost Wasteland.
The reason why she was able to fake her death and sleep forever was also the painstaking arrangement of Luo Mei, the Demon Queen in the late Sui Dynasty.
Luo Wuxie is the reincarnation of Luo Mei, so although Mrs. Xiaoyue is an ancient demon with a high level of cultivation, she is very respectful to Luo Wuxie.
So, when the dog demon fairy saw Yu Yan's eyes, he became very cold.
Because she already knew that Luo Wuxie's true soul was stolen by the Zhou Lord Yu Yan.
If not for Zhou Palace, Mrs. Xiaoyue would have taken action long ago.
"Oh, it's so nice to have a friend come from afar. Senior sister Wuxie, you are here. You are such an honored guest. I am not very honored!"
Yu Yan stood up and greeted him with a smile.
It's completely a private gift.
"Come on, come on! Please sit down!"
"Come, serve tea and prepare a banquet. I want to entertain my old friends who love my sisters!"
Yu Kuan ordered repeatedly. Her voice was like the sound of nature, beautiful and sweet, with undisguised joy.
For those who didn't know, I really thought her good friend was here.
The palace people immediately began to prepare a banquet.
Luo Wuxie has a gentle personality and looks amiable. She is not as domineering as Yu Kuan, but she is actually a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
She looked at Yu Kuan with a complicated expression, and said with a sarcastic tone: "I am just a demon, but Lord Zhou, you are already a powerful Mahayana man."
"Master Zhou's luck and qualifications are a hundred times better than mine. How can I dare to match Master Zhou's sisters?"
Luo Wuxie's voice was soft and quiet, also very beautiful, but it was filled with ironic hatred.
Can you not hate it?
Her qualifications and luck were originally very good. If her true soul hadn't been lost back then, her current cultivation level would have been at least that of a Demon Saint!
And the person who stole his true soul back then was Yu Kuan's people.
Although Yu Kuan is not that person, Yu Kuan is the beneficiary.
But now that Yu Kuan had cultivated into Mahayana, he no longer needed his true soul, so he pretended to return it to him in exchange for an alliance with the Sui Dynasty!
Why is this Yu Yan so thick-skinned?
Seeing Sui getting stronger and stronger, he took the initiative to get close to himself, haha.
"Sister Wuxie."
As a Mahayana master and the lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yu Kuang condescended to pour a cup of tea for Luo Wuxie himself.
"The conscience of heaven and earth." The most noble girl in Shenzhou pointed to her heart, "I am a victim just like you."
"Many people say that I, Yu Kuan, am not good, but they don't go to the Void Sea to find out what kind of person I, Yu Kuan, am."
This girl's tone and demeanor didn't look like a ruler at all. It seemed that Luo Wuxie was really her old friend.
Luo Wuxie felt confused. Why did Yu Yan mention the Void Sea again?
"Sister Wuxie, the person who stole your true soul back then was my master Mu Xianyan!"
"It doesn't matter if Senior Sister doesn't know Mu Xianyan, because you must know about Silkworm Medicine Concubine! Yes, Mu Xianyan is Silkworm Medicine Concubine!"
Luo Wuxie'e frowned, and the beautiful vertical eyes between her eyebrows opened slightly, revealing a cold light, "Concubine Silkworm Yao? Is that her?"
"Not bad!" Yu Kanzhen nodded, looking at Luo Wuxie sincerely with a pair of star-like phoenix eyes.
"It is the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty who stole the true soul of my senior sister. You can guess her abilities even if I don't tell you. She has abilities and motives."
What Yu Yan said was half true and half false.
It is indeed Concubine Canyao's plan to take away Luo Wuxie's true soul, make Yu Yan stronger, and unify the Central Region as soon as possible.
But the person who actually carried out the "stealing of souls" was not Concubine Can Yao herself.
It was Concubine Silkworm Yao who asked Shi Xu to do it.
But since the person behind the scenes was Concubine Silkworm Yao, Yu Kuan did not accuse her unjustly.
"So what?" Luo Wuxie sneered, "My true soul will always be implanted into your soul. Isn't it you who imprisons my true soul?"
Yu Kuan shook his head, "Let me tell you, I, Yu Kuan, am an innate Taoist with extremely high qualifications and good luck. I am the number one genius in the Divine Continent."
"Do you think I care about other people's things? Whose things are worth stealing for me? It's the throne that they begged me to take."
"Sister Wuxie, although your true soul is precious, I won't miss it."
"This is all done by Concubine Silkworm Yao. Her purpose for doing this is to use me to unify the Central Region, and then seize me to become the Lord of the Divine Continent..."
Yu Yan told Concubine Silkworm Yao's plan again, with tears in her eyes, "Forty years, Senior Sister Wuxie, she lied to me for forty years!"
"In the past forty years, I have treated her like a mother, admiring her deeply and treating her as a relative."
"But in the end, it turned out to be part of her plan and the victim she wanted to seize..."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, just as people's hearts are unpredictable. At that time, I was really heartbroken and couldn't accept it no matter what..."
"I thought I was very powerful, but in fact I was just a chess piece that was deceived and used by Master..."
Yu Yan's expression was bitter and her eyes were a little sad.
The majestic Lord of the Zhou Dynasty actually looked a little lonely.
"...So, after I finally escaped with my life and got rid of her control, I will immediately return your true soul and compare my feelings with my own..."
"Humph." Mrs. Xiaoyue snorted slightly but said nothing.
She didn't like Yu Kuan and felt that he didn't know which words were true and which were false.
The dignified leader of the country has such a low profile and acts out of common sense, which is hard to predict.
She was afraid that the queen would suffer a loss.
Although the queen has a previous life, she has no awakened memory and is only a little girl.
Can you fight against a treacherous person like Yu Yan?
Sure enough, Luo Wuxie's eyes softened immediately after hearing this, and her voice also softened.
"I didn't expect that she would be so deliberate. You are also lucky, otherwise she would be Yu Kuan and Lord Zhou."
"Who said it wasn't?" Yu Kuan shook her head lightly, "It's really a risk. You don't know, she was unwilling to accept it later and sent someone to pretend to be me and disrupt the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Yu Kuan smoothly put the mysterious pot on the head of "Master" Concubine Silkworm Yao.
Luo Wuxie nodded: "I've also heard about this. There was a lot of commotion. It caused the civil war in Zhou Dynasty to this day. It turned out to be Concubine Silkworm Yao's conspiracy."
Yu Kuan smiled warmly, "Yes. That's why I sympathize with Senior Sister Wuxie even more. If it weren't for her, you would already be a powerful Mahayana man."
"You and I are both victims, and we should share the same hatred and hatred."
"Besides, senior sister's true soul has been in my body for many years. Just like you and I, sisters, are one and the same, we can be considered old friends."
"Although you and I met for the first time today, we have actually known each other for decades."
"Senior sister, tell me, although there are misunderstandings between us, aren't we as close as sisters and as close to old friends as we are?"
After Luo Wuxie heard this, she couldn't refute it for a moment. At first glance, it seemed that this was really the case.
"Uh... I heard Junior Sister Yan say that, and it seems to be true." Luo Wuxie finally said.
"Ahem..." Mrs. Xiaoyue on the side couldn't help coughing twice.
I couldn't help but secretly curse: "What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!"
PS: Crab supports! Crab! Good night! Don’t scold me. Well, everyone has worked hard this day, it’s not easy.
