Chapter 140 Zhu Xuan Lei Ting shot, the two women broke through, and the war started again
Green Bamboo Residence.
Jiang Nan refused all visits. He practiced quietly in his study and occasionally read when he was free.
The Shenwuhou Mansion has not been completely renovated, so I still live in Cuizhu Residence for the time being.
In fact, his requirements for a place to live are not high.
Just have a quiet place.
In the secret room, Lou Xianghan was still in retreat.
The entire Cuizhu Residence was very quiet. Only Li Ze and Zhou Qing were busy, either cleaning or cooking.
However, the two of them enjoyed it endlessly.
Being able to work for the young master is their greatest honor.
Cuizhu Residence is peaceful and quiet, but the whole of Kyoto has been full of blood these past few days. Countless families have been ransacked and exterminated. It is said that the executioner's knife has been curled, and the market mouth is full of blood and heads are rolling.
No one in the book or family escaped execution.
This time, Emperor Zhu Xuan directly carried out a large-scale purge and bloody killings, without giving these people any chance to face their crimes.
Kill all those who should be killed and those who should not be killed.
Under the heavy rules, some people's little thoughts were completely torn apart, and they did not dare to go overboard in the slightest.
For a moment, everyone in Kyoto was in danger. The aristocratic families and officials who originally wanted to be friends with Shenwuhou Jiang Nan and the Jiang family at this time did not dare to move.
And all of this has nothing to do with Jiang Nan, everything is calm in Cuizhuju.
On the other hand, the General's Mansion has been quite lively these two days.
The bloody storm outside has nothing to do with the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and everyone walks with their heads held high and bright smiles on their faces.
Each of the Jiang family's three grandfathers and grandsons is a pillar of the country. From the moment the emperor awarded the golden python robe, the Jiang family officially entered a wealthy family.
As a member of the Jiang family, even if you are a servant, you feel that you are superior to others.
The officials did not dare to move, but some businessmen in Kyoto and the heads of the Kyoto offices of major forces kept stepping into the General's Mansion.
Originally, these people were supposed to visit Jiang Nan at Cuizhu Residence, but Jiang Nan refused to visit, so they all went to the general's residence.
Jiang Yuqing was busy receiving the reception, but there were too many people, so she finally had to call her husband Zhao Zheng over to deal with it.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Zheng was originally the Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Years ago, he was "implicated" due to Jiang Nan's affairs and was demoted to the position of the Left Chief of Dali Temple.
Now, because Wang Yongren, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was investigated and his whole family was beheaded, the emperor directly promoted Zhao Zheng and became Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which was equivalent to the official reinstatement.
So many people who came to congratulate Marquis Shenwu prepared two gifts, one to congratulate Marquis Shenwu and the other to congratulate Zhao Zheng on his promotion.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
The door to the secret room finally opened.
Lou Xianghan is out of quarantine.
She has officially entered the realm of Grandmaster and is perfect.
"Congratulations!"
Jiang Nan smiled.
"Thank you." A happy smile appeared on Lou Xianghan's pretty face.
"When do you plan to go to the academy next?"
Jiang Nan asked.
Lou Xianghan smiled and said: "Let's give it a few days. It won't be too late to go after I'm completely stable."
Jiang Nan nodded, and then told Lou Xianghan what had happened in the past few days, including his visit to the palace to meet the saint.
Lou Xianghan was also shocked by so many things happening in Kyoto.
She didn't expect that the emperor would be so ruthless and directly carry out a bloody massacre. Even his imperial concubine Shi Xiufeng was not spared and all of them were executed directly.
The entire Shi family was wiped out from top to bottom.
However, she cares more about Jiang Nan and the people around Jiang Nan, especially women.
"When does your husband plan to take Ruyue over?"
Lou Xianghan looked at Jiang Nan with his bright eyes and asked.
I didn't know about Liu Ruyue before, but not long after I came back, I found out about Jiang Nan and Liu Ruyue.
As a head wife, she naturally had to know a lot about Liu Ruyue.
After getting to know her better, she discovered that Liu Ruyue was actually an orphan, a decent person, and had been living in a government office in Kyoto.
Now that she has this kind of relationship with her husband, as the head wife, she naturally has to take part in the matter.
Jiang Nan sighed in his heart, the women in this world are just good.
Lou Xianghan, as his first woman and also his first wife, although they haven't married yet, she is already thinking about him, and her magnanimity is really beyond words.
Jiang Nan feels very lucky and happy.
"Well... I haven't thought about this yet."
Jiang Nan said with a smile.
In fact, Liu Ruyue is his woman. He has never thought about it. He just wants to see what Lou Xianghan thinks about this matter.
"I never thought about it before. That's because my husband's previous residence was only Cuizhu Residence, which was a small place. But now that my husband has the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, there must be a woman to take care of such a large place."
Lou Xianghan said.
"Besides, it's not a big deal that a woman like Kisaragi has been living in the Kyoto government office."
Jiang Nan nodded and said with a smile: "Madam is right."
"Two days ago, Eunuch Cao from the palace came to inform that the Shenwuhou Mansion has been renovated and is ready for living. Then you can choose a day for Ru Yue to move into the Shenwuhou Mansion. What do you think?"
Seeing that her husband left the decision-making power to her, discussed everything with her and let her make the decision, this was a sign of respect for her. Lou Xianghan was very satisfied and moved.
"Okay. Kyoto is in chaos these days, and Kyoto Mansion must be very busy. After this period of time, we will choose a day for Ruyue to move into the Shenwuhou Mansion."
"However, I do want to meet her. What kind of strange woman is she that can catch my husband's eyes? And I also want to know how my husband got the most beautiful woman in the Kyoto government office to sleep with her."
Lou Xianghan's beautiful eyes stared at Jiang Nan with a smile but not a smile, as if she wanted Jiang Nan to see through.
Jiang Nan smiled slightly and didn't care.
Having experienced the emotional experience in his previous life, he knew very well that there was no need to hide some things, and it was better to be honest with each other than to hide them.
Then he calmly told Lou Xianghan what had happened.
If you dare to do it, then you dare to say it.
Because in this life, everyone will live a long life, and fire cannot be contained in paper. Instead of doing this, it is better to speak out.
Besides, what he did was not sneaky.
And in this world, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
After Lou Xianghan listened, he fell into a brief silence.
After a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Nan and said, "Husband, will you still discuss it with me if you marry a woman into your house in the future?"
Jiang Nan nodded and said gently: "Yes."
"What if...I don't agree?"
Lou Xianghan looked into Jiang Nan's eyes.
"Then don't let her enter the house." Jiang Nan said without hesitation.
Lou Xianghan's eyes suddenly brightened.
It was originally just a test, but I didn't expect Jiang Nan to answer so simply.
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Nan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course."
"Why?"
Lou Xianghan stared at Jiang Nan unblinkingly.
Jiang Nan grabbed her little hand and smiled: "I believe in your vision."
Lou Xianghan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the circles under his eyes turned red for a while.
I believe in your vision - this is the greatest trust a husband has in her.
"...Thank you, husband!" Lou Xianghan's eyes were misty.
Jiang Nan gently held her in his arms and said, "Fool, what your husband needs is not an ordinary woman, he needs a confidante."
This was not what he said to appease Lou Xianghan, it was also what he said from his heart.
If a person lives long enough, he will be a lot lonely if he does not have a close friend to accompany him on the way forward.
Many times he likes to be quiet, but that doesn't mean he likes to be alone.
If you have a confidante by your side, life will be much more interesting.
When Lou Xianghan heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and a warmth surged from her soft heart and spread throughout her body.
She buried her delicate face in Jiang Nan's broad and warm arms and hummed softly.
Lou Xianghan, who had always been cold and cold, now looked like a little woman.
At this moment, Jiang Nan was the only one in her heart, and she could no longer tolerate anyone else.
evening.
Liu Ruyue is here.
It was Meng Zheng who drove a carriage to pick it up.
But what surprised Meng Zheng was that it was Miss Lou who personally ordered him to take Capt. Liu over.
He was just a servant. Although he was curious about the Marquis' affairs, he did not dare to ask.
Liu Ruyue was also very uneasy. Although she and Lou Xianghan knew each other, this was the first time they met alone and under such circumstances.
But Liu Ruyue is an unusual person, with a firm mind, and she has already prepared for the worst.
If Lou Xianghan doesn't let her in, she will be Jiang Nan's confidante without any status.
No matter what, she would not embarrass Jiang Nan.
Because she really likes Jiang Nan.
Due to her busy work schedule recently, Liu Ruyue didn't have time to put on makeup. Instead, she was dressed in a military uniform with her hair simply tied into a ponytail, looking very capable.
When she came to the lobby, Jiang Nan and Lou Xianghan were already waiting for her.
Liu Ruyue felt a little nervous. She took a deep breath, exhaled it gently, relaxed her mind, and then walked in. She cupped her fists and bowed to Jiang Nan and Lou Xianghan: "Ruyue pays homage to Mr. Hou, and pays homage to Miss Lou."
The corners of Jiang Nan's mouth raised, and she turned to look at Lou Xianghan.
Lou Xianghan was also a little funny.
But she always has a cold look on her face, giving people a feeling of being distant from others.
She walked forward, stretched out her hand to help Liu Ruyue up, smiled and said, "You're welcome, sister. Come, sit down and talk."
Sister? Liu Ruyue grasped this word keenly.
So...are you accepting me?
"Thank you sister."
Liu Ruyue immediately climbed along the frame and said gratefully.
Compared with Lou Xianghan, her current status can be described as unfair.
But as long as Lou Xianghan approves, she will have a reasonable and legal identity.
As for Jiang Nan, if he didn't have that intention, he wouldn't be with her.
The dinner was very sumptuous.
It was the first time that the two hostesses and the young master had dinner together. Li Ze and Zhou Qing tried their best to prepare many special dishes.
During the dinner, Lou Xianghan served Liu Ruyue some food, and Liu Ruyue was very moved.
Who is Lou Xianghan? She is the apple of the eye of the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, the sweet daughter of Heaven, an elite disciple of Taichu Academy, and will be the first lady of the Jiang family who will be married in the future.
When had she served food to others?
And she, Liu Ruyue, was just a police officer in Kyoto Prefecture, and her status was very different.
But Lou Xianghan could treat her like this. Liu Ruyue felt Lou Xianghan's sincerity in her heart and immediately found a sense of belonging.
Seeing this, Jiang Nan felt relieved.
He served food to the two women respectively, and they were enjoying themselves during the dinner.
In just one meal, the two women became familiar with each other.
After eating, the two women returned to the room to whisper, leaving Jiang Nan alone in the living room.
Jiang Nan smiled slightly.
Good.
This way we will be more harmonious when we get along in the future.
In the next few days, Lou Xianghan did not return to Taifu's Mansion and still lived in Cuizhu Residence.
As soon as Liu Ruyue got off work in the evening, she returned to Cuizhu Residence and settled directly in Cuizhu.
However, he did not sleep with Jiang Nan.
Because Jiang Nan went into seclusion.
In this retreat, Jiang Nan will break through the realm of Grandmaster and officially enter the realm of King.
This is the realm he has longed for.
Because, once he enters the King Realm, he can fly.
Originally, he had the heaven-defying "Tiantian Step", and he could fly by relying on the technique in the Grandmaster realm. If he entered the King's realm, his flying speed would be even faster.
Jiang Nan was in seclusion, and Liu Ruyue was also diligently cultivating. She hoped that she could officially enter the ninth level of the Fierce Sun Realm before Jiang Nan came out of seclusion.
Lou Xianghan is already a master, and as a woman from Jiang Nan, she naturally cannot fall behind too much.
Even though her status was not as good as that of Lou Xianghan, Liu Ruyue never gave up in practice.
Even though she knew that Lou Xianghan had a rare Phoenix physique, how could she, Liu Ruyue, not have a special physique?
After the major cases in Kyoto Prefecture came to an end, she never left the front door of Cuizhu Residence and practiced every day.
Seeing Liu Ruyue practicing so seriously, Lou Xianghan also practiced seriously.
Li Ze, Zhou Qing and others lamented that the young master's women were indeed not ordinary people, and their diligence in cultivation was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
They and the young master are both the same kind of people!
They are so talented and so diligent, how can warriors like them with poor qualifications survive?
Only cooking!
However, being able to be a cook in the Shenwuhou Mansion is also a very honorable thing.
If you perform well, you may be able to become the steward of Shenwuhou Mansion in the future...
Two young men, Li Ze and Zhou Qing, relied on their admiration for the young master and longing for the future to keep Cuizhuju in order.
Including Bai Longju was well served by the two of them.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Ruyue finally broke through and entered the ninth level of the Fierce Sun Realm.
Next, as long as she polishes her true energy, she can prepare to formally break through seclusion and become a master.
Lou Xianghan promptly expressed congratulations to Liu Ruyue.
During this time in Cuizhuju, the two women got along very harmoniously.
But what surprised Lou Xianghan and Liu Ruyue was that Jiang Nan had not yet come out of seclusion and was still in seclusion.
At this time, Jiang Nan himself was also depressed.
According to the information obtained from various parties, when you step from the realm of Grandmaster to the realm of King, you only need to understand your own martial arts will, and when the martial arts will is fully integrated into Zhen Gang, you can break through.
Generally, one divides one's martial arts will into hundreds or a thousand parts, which makes it easier to merge with the true power.
However, he ultimately underestimated the strength and total amount of his own true energy.
Integrating the will of martial arts into Zhen Gang not only tests the strength of the master's soul, but also tests whether the will of martial arts is strong, both of which Jiang Nan possesses.
Because there is a relationship between the sword intention and the spear intention in the soul sea, it only took him three days to fully comprehend and form the will of martial arts.
Then he spent six days merging the sword intention and the spear intention into one, condensing them into a shape like the Mo Dao. This was his martial intention.
He naturally understands the strength of his martial will, it is much stronger than ordinary people.
So he broke it up, divided it into ten thousand parts, and then fused it with Zhen Gang one by one.
This process is very simple for Jiang Nan, and his soul is much more powerful than ordinary masters.
But he still underestimated the power of his true power, and also underestimated the strength of his martial will.
The martial intent formed by the fusion of Dacheng's sword intent and Dacheng's spear intent is not ten times stronger than ordinary people, but a hundred times, or even hundreds of times stronger.
To forcibly fuse the powerful martial will and the powerful Zhen Gang together, it requires greater strength.
So much so that every time a piece of martial intent is incorporated, a large amount of soul power is consumed.
Fortunately, he had already estimated the strength of his condensed martial will and divided it into 10,000 parts. If it was divided into 5,000 parts or less, there would be no way to fuse it and would have to be re-condensed.
Seven days have passed, and he has only fused one hundred copies, leaving 9,900 copies unfused.
However, the integration process is not without benefits.
In the continuous fusion process, due to the continuous use of the power of the soul, the power of the soul is slowly growing. Although the amplitude is small, it is still growing.
In this way, as time goes by, his fusion speed will become faster and faster.
While he was in seclusion, the Northern War finally officially began.
The Barbarians, Beast Tribes, and Snow Tribes officially began to unite and launched at the same time to attack the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, the Monster Clan and the Sea Clan also started a large-scale attack again.
Just when Zhu Xuan was preparing to lead a personal expedition and directly lead troops to attack the demon clan, strange events suddenly began to occur on a large scale throughout the Ming Dynasty. Thirty-six prefectures and hundreds of cities were filled with strange things.
