Chapter five hundred and eighty to lower the standard
"What protects the people of Daqian?"
Many people present had already reacted, but Xue Pingxi still replied belatedly, "The old man just likes to fight. I think he probably doesn't care about the people."
"Aren't you afraid that General Xue will serve you well if you speak ill of him behind his back?" The young voice chuckled.
"Anyway, even if the emperor doesn't kill him, he will still become a puppet." Xue Pingxi shouted loudly, "I'm still afraid of him..."
Midway through his words, he finally felt something strange and couldn't help but turn his head to look. What caught his eye was a friendly smiling face and a familiar coarse white shirt.
"Brother Zhong!"
Seeing the face of the speaker clearly, Xue Pingxi's face suddenly glowed, and the original gloomy expression was swept away, replaced by extreme joy.
"Long time no see, brother Xue, how are you doing?" Zhong Wen said with a smile, "Are you asking for a wife?"
"Don't mention it!" When Xue Pingxi was asked this question, his expression turned bitter. He couldn't help scratching his head and replied in a depressed tone, "How can I be as beautiful as you?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yushi and Shen Xiaowan who were standing behind Zhong Wen. When he saw that one of the two women was aloof and gorgeous, the other was delicate and cute. Although they had very different temperaments, they were both beautiful and moving. He couldn't help but secretly feel in his heart. With emotion, I just feel that the gap between people is really huge!
When Jiang Yushi saw Xue Pingxi's eyes, she didn't understand what he was thinking. He seemed calm as usual, but a faint blush appeared on his fair cheeks unconsciously.
"Grandpa!" Shen Xiaowan was confused and unaware, and kept waving her little hand at Shen Dachui.
"Girl, why are you here?" Shen Dachui was furious just a moment ago. Now when he saw his granddaughter, whom he thought about day and night, his wrinkled old face suddenly burst into smiles, and he didn't look even remotely angry.
In the lobby, there were clearly two spiritual elders, Li Jiuye and Lord Jiu, but a man and two women sneaked in so quietly. If Zhong Wen hadn't taken the initiative to speak, no one would have noticed their traces.
"Brother Xue, what you are saying is narrow-minded. Since ancient times, when a man marries a woman, it is important to have a well-matched and evenly matched person." Zhong Wen said with a serious face, "You are not as strong as my younger brother, and you don't have the beauty of a prosperous age like me. You are the one who chooses a wife. It is natural to lower your standards when the time comes, and you must not aim too high and always think about how beautiful and excellent your wife must be, otherwise you will be wasting your youth in vain.”
Xue Pingxi: "..."
Listening to Zhong Wen's serious nonsense, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and never wanted to talk to him again.
Seeing that he was speechless, Zhong Wen just said that he was impressed by his own theory. He turned his head proudly and his eyes fell on the two beauties, Shisanniang and Li Yiru. He kept waving to greet her, his face filled with brilliance. smile.
Thirteenth Niang's eyes sparkled, and she smiled slightly in return. Her charming and mature charm made his heart skip a beat, his mouth went dry, and heat surged in his waist.
The moment she saw Zhong Wen, Li Yiru breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Shangguan Mingyue's crisis had been resolved. Then she began to worry about Li Jiuye's safety. For a moment, she felt complicated and entangled.
"Princess sister doesn't seem to be very happy." Zhong Wen didn't seem to notice, and still greeted with a smile, "Am I so annoying?"
"No, no..." Li Yiru blushed and hesitated, unable to say a word for a long time.
Zhong Wen smiled slightly and said nothing. He turned his eyes and looked at the eldest lady Shangguan Mingyue who was kneeling in the center of the lobby: "Why is Miss Shangguan so embarrassed? Who bullied you?"
"Zhong... Zhong Wen?" Shangguan Mingyue's eyes gradually became clear, and it seemed that she didn't realize Zhong Wen's existence until this moment, "Is it really you?"
"Besides me, where else in the world can there be such a perfect man with both civil and military skills?" Zhong Wen chuckled.
If she had heard him brag like this normally, Shangguan Mingyue would have ridiculed and complained mercilessly. However, at this time, the arrogant young lady did not say a word, but stared blankly at the familiar figure of the boy in white. She should have been drained.
Tears welled up from nowhere and kept rolling in her eyes.
She is naturally beautiful, and her appearance is almost as good as Lin Zhiyun's. Now she shows such a fragile expression, which makes her look even more delicate, pitiful, and charming, adding an indescribable charm to her already beautiful face.
Originally, Li Rong wanted to make Shangguan Mingyue his concubine. Although he was greedy for beauty, he was more concerned about the use value of the eldest lady of "Shengyu Trading Company". However, at this moment, he caught a glimpse of her peerless appearance like pear blossoms and rain.
However, his heart began to beat violently.
This woman is mine!
I must make her marry me willingly!
He suddenly had an inexplicable urge to conquer this stunning creature in front of him with his own charm without resorting to the "Blood Spirit Seed God Powder".
Looking at Shangguan Mingyue's beautiful but haggard face, Zhong Wen suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Having known each other for so long, he knew that this business prodigy had a strong nature and never wanted to show her vulnerable side in front of others. Now that she actually showed such an expression in public, it is natural to imagine how much she was hurt.
Know.
His feet moved slightly, and at a speed invisible to the naked eye, he appeared in front of the young lady in an instant, stretched out his right hand, and gently brushed away the tears from the corner of her eyes: "You are such a big man, why are you still crying? It's not like you at all.
"
The gentle words were like the last straw that broke Shangguan Mingyue's heart. She couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself into Zhong Wen's arms. Her delicate body was trembling, and she was crying like a helpless baby, with tears streaming down her face.
Zhong Wen squatted quietly on the ground, letting Shangguan Mingyue's tears wet the front of her clothes, and gently patted her jade back with his right hand, his eyes full of care and compassion.
This philandering little thief is so gentle to all women, how disgusting it is!
Jiang Yushi bit her lips lightly and stared closely at the beautiful woman in Zhong Wen's arms. Her white jade-like index finger kept fiddling with the hair beside her face, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Xu is usually stubborn, which has caused Shangguan Mingyue to accumulate too much pressure and grievances. Now when he vents it out, it is like the water of the Yellow River, flowing endlessly, as if there is no end, but Zhong Wen has always acted quietly. He played the role of "arrogance" and never showed any impatience on his face.
From the moment he appeared, he sometimes chatted, sometimes laughed, went his own way, and was free and easy, but he never glanced at Li Jiuye and his son.
However, the calmer he became, the more anxious and depressed Emperor Daqian became, as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, making him almost breathless.
Master Jiu's face became more solemn, and his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to calm down Zhong Wen's anger. After searching all over, he found nothing.
On the contrary, Li Rong had a very vague impression of Zhong Wen. When he saw him holding his designated "princess" in his arms, he immediately became furious. He also caught a glimpse of Jiang Yushi in the distance. Old and new hatreds were gathered together in one place, and his eyes As soon as I turned around, I suddenly had an idea.
"Who is your Excellency?" He pointed at Jiang Yushi and said loudly, "Why are you traveling with spies from the Fulong Empire? Could it be that you want to betray Da Qian and collaborate with foreign enemies?"
Li Rong immediately revealed Jiang Yushi's identity and thought he was very clever. Then he looked at Li Jiuye with burning eyes, as if waiting for the emperor to make a statement.
Being blinded by jealousy, he forgot that Li Jiuye himself had secretly met with Jiang Yushi, and why he recognized the eldest lady of the Jiang family was something worth pondering.
To Li Rong's surprise, Li Jiuye just had a sullen face and did not react at all, while Zhong Wen ignored his accusations and did not even turn his head.
"Father, the woman who is traveling with this person is a young lady from the first family of the Fulong Empire." Li Rong thought that the emperor didn't understand, so he couldn't help but explain, "She secretly sneaked into Daqian, and she must have some conspiracy. Most people can’t escape their involvement!”
"Shut up!" Li Jiuye frowned and his head was covered with black lines. Unable to bear it, Li Jiuye finally shouted loudly.
Li Rong stared with a pair of small eyes and a big mouth, completely unable to understand why the emperor reacted like this.
"Zhong Wen, there was some misunderstanding between Rong'er and Shengyu Trading Company earlier." Li Jiuye ignored him again, but said to Zhong Wen in a low voice, "Now I have found out the matter. This scoundrel must be severely punished, and I will try my best to compensate for the losses suffered by the Shangguan family, what do you think?"
what's the situation?
Li Rong was dumbfounded when he heard Li Jiuye's completely different words. He could hardly believe his ears.
At the same time, a strong sense of uneasiness surged into his heart, and he suddenly realized that the boy in white in front of him was anything but simple.
Zhong Wen seemed to have not heard the emperor's words, and still accompanied Shangguan Mingyue quietly, without even raising his eyelids.
I don’t know how long it took, but Shangguan Mingyue’s crying gradually became fainter. She looked up at Zhong Wen, her eyes were red, her delicate face had a faint blush, and her voice had become much calmer: “Zhong Wen, Both dad and Mr. Feng were controlled by Li Rong using a drug called 'Xue Ling Zhong Shen Powder', do you have a way to detoxify them?"
Zhong Wen... Zhong Wen...
Zhong Wen from Piaohua Palace!
Li Rong repeated the name in a low voice. After a moment, a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he finally remembered the information he had read in the "Da Qian Heroes List".
Even though he didn't know what Zhong Wen's strength was, he knew that today's incident would not be easy to calm down just from the three words "Piaohua Palace".
It should be noted that Piaohua Palace is now famous and has already become a giant in the world of cultivation. Even the royal family of the empire does not dare to offend easily.
"It is said that the 'Xue Ling Zhong Shen Powder' was inherited from the ancient evil sect 'Lian Shen Sect' and uses 'Zhong Shen Grass' as the main medicine, supplemented by human essence and blood." Zhong Wen recalled the description in the Medicine King Valley classics, He said slowly, "If someone takes this medicine, although they will not lose their consciousness, their way of thinking will quietly change. From then on, they will obey the orders of the essence and blood master and will be unable to resist at all."
"Not bad!" Shangguan Mingyue's eyes lit up and she said with hope, "Since you know the pharmacology, you will definitely be able to prepare the antidote."
"Otherwise, once you take the 'Xue Ling Zhong Shen Powder', there will be no cure." Zhong Wen shook his head and said, "It is rumored that the 'Lian Shen Sect' used this medicine to cause a bloody storm in the ancient world of cultivation, and even controlled many of the seven major powers. In the end, it was Lin Xingyue, one of the five great sages, the 'Master of Bailing Palace', who personally took action to uproot this evil cult and wipe it out completely, which shows how powerful this poison is."
"Why, how could this happen!" Shangguan Mingyue muttered to herself in despair, as if struck by lightning, "Could it be that dad and the others will never be able to regain their freedom?"
"You haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious?" Zhong Wen suddenly grinned and said, "Just because there is no cure, does not mean that it cannot be eliminated."
"You...you are really..." Shangguan Mingyue's emotions have been ups and downs countless times in a day. She was already exhausted mentally and physically. Now that Zhong Wen has whetted her appetite, her eyes are red again, and she is on the verge of collapse again, " Can you finish speaking in one breath?"
"People who have been hit by the 'Blood Spirit Seed God Powder' have not lost their minds and will only obey the Master of Essence and Blood." Zhong Wen saw that she was about to cry again, and finally straightened his face and said seriously, "If the Master of Essence and Blood is no longer here, , this medicine is self-defeating, so why does it need to be detoxified?"
"You, you mean..." Shangguan Mingyue is also a smart person. She instantly understood what Zhong Wen was referring to. She jumped up suddenly and stared at Li Rongdao fiercely, "As long as he dies, the poison will be cured. ?”
Li Rong's heart trembled, his expression changed dramatically, and under her sharp eyes, he unconsciously took two steps back.
"Don't do it, don't do it!" Li Jiuye reacted almost at the same time and realized that his son was in a bad situation. He said anxiously, "I can imprison this evil son so that he can never see the head of the Shangguan family again. This way Come, isn't it the same as detoxifying?"
The Lord Jiu swayed slightly and appeared in front of Li Rong in an instant. He pulled out the rusty iron sword from his waist and firmly protected the second prince behind him.
"That's the way to crack the medicine." Zhong Wen still ignored the emperor, but said with a smile to Shangguan Mingyue, "It's up to you to decide whether to kill him or not."
"Although I'm a little sorry for Yi Ru." Shangguan Mingyue's tone was extremely cold, and she looked at Li Rong as if she were looking at a dead person, "But if he doesn't die, I will feel uneasy!"
"Okay." Zhong Wen nodded, with a look of approval on his face, and suddenly a dragon shadow hovered under his feet.
"Zhong Wen, 'Prince Yi' is the royal family of Daqian." Master Jiu's hair stood on end, his attention was at its peak at this moment, and he loudly dissuaded, "Don't mess around!"
The next moment, he was shocked to find that the body of "Zhong Wen" in front of him gradually faded away, and finally disappeared without a trace, just like an illusion.
not good!
Master Jiu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly turned his head, only to see a scene he would never forget.
At some point, Zhong Wen appeared in front of Li Rong. His right hand was like an electric drill, entering from Prince Yi's chest and coming out from the back, stabbing him through.
The second prince Daqian's eyes were dull, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth. His body slowly fell backward, revealing the big hole that penetrated his chest and Zhong Wen's right hand that was stained with blood.
Accompanied by the "bang" impact, Li Rong lay straight on the ground, motionless, and no longer breathed.
"Rong'er!!!"
In the lobby of the headquarters of "Shengyu Trading Company", Emperor Li Jiuye's heart-wrenching cry of grief rang out.?
