Zhou Xing has never hated a person so much, and he has never thought that a person can quietly plot so many people into his pawns. He hates the feeling of being deceived, and he hates that he feels like a fool.
The feeling of being played by the other party, of course, Han Yan's death made him hate it even more deeply.
As an otaku from another world, the worst, most insidious and cunning person he could imagine was not as bad as Shen Xiu. He couldn't understand why Shen Xiu wanted to involve the Han family when he was just dealing with Jia Zhi. Could it be that one
In your eyes, Shen Xiu, are all human lives just a number, or are they irrelevant? He can't believe that a person can sacrifice the lives of others at will in order to gain power.
After Zhou Xing had been exercising for a long time, he suddenly stopped and pushed forward with both hands. The giant python mixed with fine sand and gravel let out a roar and rolled forward, causing an echo in the pine forest on the hillside.
.
"Bah, bang, bang." A lonely burst of applause sounded behind him, "This brother has such handsome kung fu."
Zhou Xing stopped the physical exercise when he noticed someone approaching. He turned around and saw a young man named Zhou, who was less than thirty years old, standing a few feet away, holding a lotus leaf bag in one hand.
He was cooking roast chicken and holding a pot of wine in one hand, looking cynical.
Zhou Xing recognized this man. He was Chen Rong of Wujun, the leader of the three heroes of Hongdu.
As soon as he arrived here, he vaguely felt that someone was following him behind him. Later, he appeared once. He didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that the person turned out to be Chen Rong.
"Brother, I came to visit the mountains and rivers today, and I unexpectedly met you, such a Zhou. It seems that today is really auspicious." Chen Rong said with a familiar look and walked towards Zhou with a smile.
, "I wonder what I call this brother?"
"I recognize you. Your name is Chen Rong, and you are one of the three heroes of Hongdu." Zhou Xing said coldly, wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeves.
Chen Rong looked surprised when he heard what he said. He rubbed the back of his right index finger holding the wine bottle under the tip of his nose and said with a smile: "I didn't expect someone to recognize me, Chen Rong, in such a remote place."
, it’s really a pleasure to meet you.”
"I recognize you, but you don't recognize me. How lucky are you to meet me." Zhou Xing has been in a low mood these past few days, without the enthusiasm of the past. "Tell me, why are you here today."
Chen Rong rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his index finger again. He was not angry at all about Zhou Xing's cold attitude: "It seems that the owner of this place has expected that I will come here, so I will open the skylight and speak out.
That day I happened to hear what you yelled at the sky, and to be honest, I wanted to fuck Shen Xiu all the time."
"I have heard about the grudge between you and Shen Xiu." Zhou Xing did not change his expression at all after hearing this, "But I just want to kill Shen Xiu alone."
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Chen Rong no longer looked cynical. He said solemnly: "If Shen Xiu was easy to kill, he would have been killed countless times. No matter how much you cultivated than Zhou Xing, after all,
We are alone and weak. Wouldn't one more person give us more strength?"
"I said that if I kill him alone, I can kill him alone, no matter how many people are around him." Although Zhou Xing's words were not loud, they contained undeniable strong confidence.
Once bitten, twice shy.
After being cheated by Shen Xiu once, he was very repelled by this kind of alliance. What's more, he was confident enough and confident that he had enough strength to kill Shen Xiu.
Chen Rong saw him walking past him coldly, with surprise and disbelief in his eyes. He had prepared many cases when he came, but he never expected that this young man would assassinate Shen Xiu by himself.
, actually don’t want an alliance.
This person is either crazy or crazier than crazy.
Seeing Zhou Xing's back disappearing behind the gate, Chen Rong still shouted reluctantly: "You really don't need my help?"
Zhou Xing paused, turned to Chen Rong and said, "I would be very grateful if you could provide me with a map of Shen Xiu's house."
Some are happy and some are sad.
Unlike Zhou Xing who had been depressed and sad these days, Shen Xiu was in high spirits these days. Ever since that day when he killed Sikong Zhang Hua and Shangshu Ling Pei Wei on the spot, all the officials were so shocked that no one dared to
He stood up to oppose. He personally ordered Zhao Wang Huangfulun to be the envoy and governor, supervising all military affairs at home and abroad, the prime minister, and the minister. As before, the king promoted Zhang Bu and Guo Mo and others played a great role in this coup.
A monk from a poor family, completely controlled the army inside and outside Shangluo, and ousted the three princes and nine ministers. He also pretended to proclaim himself the Duke of Guangling County, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
For Huangfu Yun, the king of Huainan who did not have time to leave the city and return to the vassal state that day, Shen Xiu also promoted him and made him a hussar general, and also led the central guard army. After all, he was the son of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. If he did not have the position of assistant to the Jin Dynasty,
No one can look down on a son of Emperor Wu.
As for the King of Qi, Huangfu Huan, who also raised an army, Shen Xiu also promoted him and named him General Pingdong. He took the holiday to control Xuchang. In this way, he was equivalent to excluding the King of Qi from the central government.
With his current power, there are countless monks who come to visit him every day to give him gifts. Every day, the entrance of Shen's Mansion is like a market, crowded with people, rushing to deliver famous thorns to Shen's Mansion, for fear that the delivery will be late.
Those good jobs and fat jobs were taken away by others.
On the contrary, the front of Taiwei's Mansion in Situ Mansion, which used to be crowded with people, is now extremely deserted. There is no lively scene of people coming and going in the past. Even in front of Prince Zhao's Mansion, who is the prime minister, it is far less peaceful.
There was a lot of excitement in front of the Shen Mansion. Everyone knew that finding King Zhao was of little use. Shen Xiu was the key figure who could determine a person's position.
Shen Xiu likes this feeling these days very much, likes this wonderful feeling of having power over the world. Although he is very busy every day, so busy that he can hardly take time to rest. He only rests for one to two hours every day these days.
, but he was still energetic and full of emotions. In the past few days, he didn't know how many official positions he had been awarded. He only knew that his arms were sore and swollen from just stamping them every day.
Every time Shen Xiu felt pain in her back and arms and stood up to move around, she would think of this sentence and think of Emperor Wu of Zhou.
It turns out that the feeling of coercing the emperor to control the princes is so wonderful. What's even more wonderful is that this emperor is almost a big fool, which is different from the Emperor Shang Xian who was smart since he was a child.
Emperor Wu of Zhou created an era back then. Could it be that I, Shen Xiu, can also create an era?
Every time she thought of this, Shen Xiu would burst into laughter, and her heart would become even more heroic.
What Emperor Wu of Zhou did, why can't I, Shen Xiu, do it?
As usual, he returned home very late after working in the palace today. Even though it was past midnight, there were still many people sitting in front of his house. When these people saw the vehicle he was riding in, they immediately stood up with great excitement. Cheers to him.
"Lord Shen, you must pay more attention to rest. Don't work so hard on court affairs that your body is exhausted."
"Yes, the imperial court cannot do without Mr. Shen, and the world of Jin Dynasty cannot do without Mr. Shen."
"Master Shen, you are good at everything, but you are not good at all. That is because you don't care about your body too much."
Shen Xiuduan was sitting in the car, smiling and waving to the people who had been standing on both sides to avoid his path. Although he didn't know any of these people, he was very concerned about his image in front of others.
The carriage stopped at the door of Shen's Mansion. He got off the Qinggai carriage, waved to everyone again, and then turned around and entered the gate.
"Bang." With a sound, Shen Xiu's figure disappeared behind the closed door. At the same time, all the people who were smiling at first almost unanimously lost their smiles.
"Fuck, the villain has his way." Someone whispered in the darkness.
When Shen Xiu entered the house, the housekeeper immediately came forward to report to him various things in the house today. Shen Xiu walked towards the study while listening to the housekeeper's report. The housekeeper had been with him for several years, and his cultivation was not very thorough. , is only a sixth-grade cultivator. But Shen Xiu is very satisfied with this person's handling of common affairs. In addition, this person has always been loyal to Shen Xiu, and he is cautious in his words and deeds. He doesn't listen to what he shouldn't hear, and he doesn't say what he shouldn't. Needless to say, Shen Xiu was very satisfied. He had just appointed the housekeeper's son as the county magistrate the day before yesterday. At that time, the housekeeper was so moved that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Xiu several times. He worked even harder with all his heart. .
The two of them entered the brightly lit study room. The housekeeper closed the door and thoughtfully took off Shen Xiu's coat and hung it behind the screen. As soon as they walked around the screen, they saw a man quietly holding a long sword. Standing there, before he could say anything, the tip of the man's long sword had already reached his neck. He could feel the sword light emerging from the tip of the opponent's sword piercing the skin on his neck, and then It stopped just in front of his throat.
He immediately judged in his heart that this man's swordsmanship was abnormal. He wanted to shout loudly, but he was afraid that the tip of the opponent's sword would cut his throat instantly. At this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat and his Adam's apple appeared. He even moved up and down nervously.
"Is it Zhou Xing?" As soon as there was movement behind the screen, Shen Xiu noticed it naturally due to his profound cultivation. He was also unusual, his expression did not change at all, and his voice remained calm and calm, just like before.
The man knocked the housekeeper unconscious with one palm, and then emerged from behind the screen, but it was not Zhou Xing.
Shen Xiu immediately saw the anger that was about to burst out of Zhou Xing's eyes, and was even more surprised at how fast this person was practicing. With his cultivation as a fourth-grade top monk, he didn't even notice the other person's anger after entering the door. Breath, this is such a powerful breath-containing cultivation.
Dragons can be big or small, hidden or visible. Zhou Xing has been practicing until now, and one of the several corresponding talents he has obtained is to hide his aura.
He was secretly shocked. Facing the gleaming sword in Zhou Xing's hand, a warm smile appeared on his face, "Where have you been these days? Do you know how many people I have sent to look for you?"
"Are you looking for me?" Zhou Xing was really surprised to see the other party like this. He originally thought that the other party was yelling, but he raised the knife and dropped it. But he didn't expect that the other party saw him holding the sword and said something
If you want to hold a candle and have a smooth conversation with him, "Catch me."
"Catch you?" Shen Xiu laughed a few times as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and then said again, "You are my proudest student and the student I value most. It's not too late for me to cherish you.
How could I arrest you?"
"Fart!" Zhou Xing was furious when he heard Shen Xiu's words, "From the beginning to the end, you were using me and trying to trick me."
"How could I be willing to cheat you," Shen Xiu continued to say calmly without getting angry, "I cheated that woman Jia Zhi."
"Shen Xiu, you are really capable of telling lies. The whole world owes you the title of Best Actor." Zhou Xing laughed angrily, "Didn't you tell me the truth in the palace?"
"That was purely a coincidence." When Shen Xiu heard the word "actor", Shen Xiu frowned slightly. She didn't know what it meant, but she was not slow at all, "My original design was just to use your pure
Spiritual power, I didn’t expect you to pretend to be Huang Fumi.”
Seeing Zhou Xing's unmoved look, he changed the subject and said, "This matter is in the past. I'm very happy to see that you are safe and sound. It's the right time for me to employ people, Zhou Xing.
Are you willing to work with me? You are a destined person, born to be extraordinary. I am very optimistic about you. The situation is so good now. I can decide the affairs of the court. You and I, master and disciple, will join hands to create something new.
A great undertaking. What do you think?"
"Humph, a big cause?" Zhou Xing sneered, "What big cause?"
When Shen Xiu heard what he said, her expression perked up and her voice became excited. "Zhou Xing, let's take you as an example. With your qualifications as a destined person, you should enjoy the best resources. Look, you have
It has only been a few days since you started practicing, and you have already reached such a level. This is shocking. But the problem is, you have wasted so many years. If you had started practicing since you were young, I am afraid that we would have been promoted early.
Then a man of destiny like Saint Kong will appear. But why did you waste so many years?"
"Resources, everything is a matter of resources." Shen Xiu paused for a moment, then said in a louder voice with an extremely solemn expression, "It's not that you, Zhou Xing, are unwilling to practice, it's that you, Zhou Xing, simply don't have the resources to practice."
"But the territory of Dajin is so vast, and the products of Dajin are so rich. Dajin can produce countless spiritual valleys and spiritual fruits every year. But who takes advantage of these outputs?" Shen Xiu stared at it seriously.
Zhou Xing opened his eyes, waved his arms and said loudly, "They have been occupied by those from the Zhou family. Countless people from families with mediocre qualifications have consumed a lot of spiritual valley resources, and countless people like you, Zhou Xing, have spent a lot of spiritual valley resources."
Talent, but suffers from lack of resources and no opportunity to practice. Zhou Xing, don’t you think this is the greatest injustice in the world? Don’t you want to change all this?”
Shen Xiuyue's voice became more passionate as he spoke, and the movements of his arms became more powerful. He had already ignored the sword in Zhou Xing's hand and began to walk back and forth in the room without stopping at all.
"Zhou Xing, you know, I had a dream a long time ago!"
