Chapter 20 The storm is coming

The next morning.

After feeding his sister breakfast, Si Yuan left her to the care of the maid next to her.

He himself took out the furnace of life and death, placed it between his hands, closed his eyes, communicated with the furnace of life and death with his mind, sensed it carefully, and studied it carefully.

"I wonder if the [Life Weapon] smelting function in the Yang Furnace can independently control the type of the life weapon after smelting?"

"Random smelting, the weapons obtained may not be the type I want."

"Just like the Fire Spirit Thorn that was smelted for the first time, it is completely unsuitable for my own use, and it also wastes a lot of core energy."

After sinking his mind, Si Yuan used his thoughts to connect the furnace of life and death, and tried bit by bit.

After years of exploration, he also understood.

The driving energy of the Life and Death Furnace was not the consumption of Qi movement as he had guessed, but something more mysterious and unpredictable.

He guessed that it might be fate.

"If I hadn't saved that little girl, she would have died under that strong man's sword."

"And I was forced to show up to save her, but she didn't die at that time, so her fate changed. Although she may have died again later."

"But at least her fate has changed because of my intervention."

This conclusion is the only possibility left after Si Yuan eliminated many doubtful results one by one.

As for whether it is true or false, I have no idea at all.

Because of fate, he has no way to test and verify it. Who knows what the original fate of others is?

On the contrary, it is luck, and there are many ways to verify the test.

"Now, I have successfully switched to Xuanbing Technique. The internal energy in my body is even more majestic and vast, and the cold attribute attached to the internal force is also becoming more powerful and terrifying."

"The twelve main meridians in the body have completely opened the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. The next meridian, the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, has been opened by about one-twentieth."

"But it's still far from being able to release the internal force outward when all the twelve meridians are opened."



All kinds of thoughts emerged in my mind one by one.

When Si Yuan was distracted and thinking about things, he also felt that he could control the smelting results of the furnace of life and death to a certain extent.

For example, the type of smelting weapon that controls the life weapon, etc.

"Master, Master...!" The butler's voice came from the corridor. He came to the door of Si Yuan's room and seriously reported: "Master, a royal messenger has come to summon you."

"We are waiting for you in the main guest room at the moment."

"Squeak...!"

The door of the room was opened from the inside, and Si Yuan walked out steadily.

"The royal messenger has come to summon you? Could it be related to the rumors he heard a few days ago?" Si Yuan kept thinking in his heart, but there was no change on his face.

"There are still many soldiers guarding the house at the moment." The housekeeper took a step forward and reminded in a low voice.

Si Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

After twisting and turning all the way, we came to the main guest room.

The royal messenger who had been waiting here saw Si Yuan walking in. After a quick look, he confirmed that it was Empress Si Yuan who was in charge of the palace.

He stood up immediately.

Open the royal edict in your hand and read it loudly.

"The King of Baiyue has an order: Now the Chu army and the Korean army are jointly attacking our land of Baiyue. At this time of life and death, all Baiyue nobles must give their full support to the foreign war."

"Anyone who violates this rule will be beheaded."

Si Yuan put his hands in front of him in a gesture of salute, and responded seriously: "Si Yuan sincerely obeys the king's edict. He is willing to donate 90% of his family property to finance the king's war."

The royal messenger was stunned for a moment when he heard Si Yuan's words.

"Give your family property...90%?!"

This was the first time he had seen such a generous Baiyue noble.

For an ordinary noble to donate 30% of their family property, it would be considered good. After coming back to his senses, the royal messenger showed a happy smile on his face.

He immediately expressed his praise and praise to Si Yuan.

"Young Master Nanyang is so generous. He is truly the pillar of my land of Baiyue. This loyal and sincere heart of killing the enemy and serving the country will definitely make the king recognize Mr. Nanyang."

Si Yuan's expression was slightly fanatical, and the words in his mouth were very impassioned.

"As a noble of Baiyue, I, Si Yuan, should share my worries and solve problems for the king."

"Now that foreign enemies are invading, Yuan hates that he cannot go into battle to kill the enemies in person and protect Baiyue. Unfortunately, my sister is still young and cannot be taken care of by her relatives at all times."

"I have no choice but to give my small fortune, just to help my Baiyue soldiers fight the enemy bravely and protect King Zhou Quan."



The two sides complimented each other again.

When the royal messenger saw that Si Yuan was so knowledgeable, it even exceeded his expectations before coming.

I was very happy immediately.

After thinking about it, the messenger put his hand into his arms and fumbled for a while. He deliberately took out a small and exquisite fine iron token from his arms and handed it to Si Yuan.

"The current situation is extraordinary and very different from usual times."

"If the mansion goes out to purchase and accidentally conflicts with the guards, this token can be used to resolve unnecessary troubles."

Hearing this, Si Yuan solemnly took the token given by the royal messenger with both hands.

At the same time, he handed over a money bag.

"Yuan, thank you so much for your advice."

"It's easy to talk about." After receiving the practical benefits, the smile on the royal messenger's face became more sincere. He told Si Yuan: "In the recent period, don't go out unless necessary."

"If I leave, I still have to go to other people's houses to convey the king's edict."

"Yuan is here to send the messenger."

Si Yuan responded with Yue etiquette and watched the royal messenger go away.

It didn't take long.

The housekeeper came over quickly, with a happy face, and reported to Si Yuan: "Master, all the soldiers who were left behind outside the mansion have withdrawn at this moment."

"Well, step back." Si Yuan nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "If someone comes to collect property from the house later, don't conflict with them."

When the butler heard this, although he was puzzled, he still returned the favor.

Si Yuan waved his hand and asked the butler to step back.

He picked up the token in his hand and looked at it carefully. He saw that on the front of the token, the word "order" was inscribed in Vietnamese, and on the back, there was a black snake with red eyes coiled into a snake formation.

The black snake's snout is wide open, and its sharp teeth are exposed in its mouth, making a bite-like appearance.

It looks extremely vicious.

"The allied forces of Han and Chu are approaching fiercely. Baiyue will be defeated in this battle." Putting away the token in his hand, Si Yuan thought carefully: "The Chu army is cruel and violent and extremely bloodthirsty, especially when facing the Yue people, who have a long-standing feud."

"It's not even impossible to massacre the city directly."

"I'm afraid that after this battle, there will not be a single member of the Baiyue royal family and nobles left."

There was no hesitation for too long.

Si Yuan turned around and left the place, took the little concubine from the hand of the maid, and shouted everyone away.

Then go into another room.





After a while.

A figure carrying a bamboo box quietly climbed out from the back wall of the mansion.
