18 What happened here in Dujun was quickly reported to Zheng Jun’s main camp through Ma Chen.
The current Jiedu envoy of the Zheng Army is named Zhang Tong. He is a veteran general who has served in several dynasties. He is nearly two hundred years old and is a six-star peak warrior. He is also one of the few six-star peak warriors in the Zheng Kingdom.
But facing the Heavenly Killer Bai Feng, he was obviously a little powerless. After hearing the good news from the 18th Army, he was overjoyed and visited Xia Yi in person. The two talked for a long time.
Of course, this can't change anything. Even if Shangguan Yu knows that he is not the King of Seven-Star Yaoguang, he has the combat power of a king and appears on the battlefield just like a king. It will only make the king end early.
Helping Zheng Jun to replace Qi with a weak coach and allowing Bai Feng to return to Qi to be promoted to king. Xia Yi has already done some things for this war that were beyond his plan. For the most part, he can only stay at the border for a while.
Stay for a few days, wait for Shangguan Yu to get the money to buy the mink, and encourage Zheng Jun by the way.
When Shi Lai was entrusted by Xia Yi, Zhang Tong was sent to other armies for training. It was unlikely that another war would break out on the 18th Capital Army's side.
He also took other players with him.
Just like that, five days passed in the blink of an eye. Shi Lai and several players experienced several more battles, and gained level upgrades and holy soul training. Xia Yi also gained a lot of holy soul experience and improved the Holy Soul of Awakening of Wrongs.
Reached the fifth level.
Shangguan Yu finally came to give money.
Or we met on a deserted mountain top.
As if there was no conflict, Shangguan Yu said in a chatting manner: "Bai Feng has returned to his house, but it may take some time for him to break through to the king. His state of mind is a little unstable because of you, and it will probably take more than a month."
It will take time to stabilize, and the probability of a successful breakthrough will be over 70%.”
"Is your mood unstable because of me?" Xia Yi greeted him with a smile after receiving the money, "It's a crime, it's a crime, Ms. Xiang, please wait a moment. I'm going to buy a new pair of shoes as an apology. You can give them to him on my behalf."
The corner of Shangguan Yu's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he quickly said: "There is no need to spend any money."
After a pause, she continued: "Yi Xia, what about you? When are you going to be promoted to King of Yaoguang?"
"Me? Well, let's wait for an opportunity."
She might not believe it, but Xia Yi is still at level 344 (350), which is still far away from the six-star peak state. The last bit of soul damage is slowly healing on its own, and it will probably take two or three months to fully recover.
Of course, now he can indeed try to be promoted to king, and the chance of success is still very high. However, if he is promoted before his soul injury is completely healed, it may have a negative impact on his future practice.
The realm of kings is a lifelong goal for many monks, but for Xia Yi, it is just the real beginning of the path of cultivation!
If conditions permit, he even wants to wait until the opportunity when Orbital Blast is promoted to Seven Stars before being promoted, directly paving the smooth road to level 500!
Waiting for the opportunity? Shangguan Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought a lot. Waiting for the opportunity to go straight to the real king, or waiting for the opportunity to assassinate King Zheng?
And...he personally admitted that he is really just a six-star Kaiyang! Throughout the thousands of years of human history, how many strong men can fight against kings as non-kings? According to historical records, Cao Cao, the great ancestor of the Wei Dynasty, seems to have done it
Such things.
The Overlord and the First Emperor were promoted to kings at the same time when they created the Seven-Star Holy Soul, otherwise it would definitely be possible.
There are only a handful of them. In this era, has another outstanding person appeared who is comparable to them?
Maybe... that's a good thing. The situation in the Seven Souls Realm seems to be getting worse...
"After you get the money, will you leave the border between Daqi and Zheng immediately?"
"I've been away from home for a week, it's time to go back."
Shangguan Yu nodded: "I hope that when I get news from you again, the content will be that the tyrant of Zheng was killed by your hands!"
Xia Yi smiled and said: "With your good words, that day should not be far away."
…
At the same time, Nanji City.
Landing in front of the palace gate, Qinglian King Li Che walked into the palace, and the young eunuch who led the way respectfully led him into the palace where King Zheng was.
Wine pool.
The tangy smell of wine did not make King Qinglian uncomfortable. Li Bai was a poet and a wine fairy. As a descendant of Li Bai, he loved drinking from his bloodline. But in this environment, especially when there was a beautiful concubine sitting in the arms of King Zheng.
Under such circumstances, King Qinglian couldn't help but frown slightly.
After pausing for a few seconds, when he saw King Zheng looking at him, he gave a symbolic salute and said: "Your Majesty, Qinglian King Li Che, I have met your Majesty."
"Those who have been promoted to king do not need to be polite."
Prince Zheng waved his hand casually, beckoning Mei Ji in his arms to go down. Mei Ji left the wine pool, and the little eunuch guarding the door closed the palace door from the outside.
In the sealed wine pool palace, only two people, King Qinglian and King Zheng, were left. King Qinglian looked slightly surprised and asked: "Your Majesty has urgently summoned his ministers to come here. Is there something important to discuss? But for the war with Qi?"
Previously, I was accidentally injured by the female prime minister of Qi State, and I have been recuperating in my house."
"I know." King Zheng grinned, picked up the wine glass in front of him, filled the wine pool beside him, and handed it to King Qinglian.
"There's no hurry, we'll talk about it later. Come, King Qinglian, drink this cup with Gu Man to celebrate the new kingship of me, Da Zheng Duoyi!"
King Qinglian took the wine glass with both hands, brought it to his nose, smelled it, and drank with King Zheng.
The sweet and sour fruit wine soaked into his throat. King Qinglian pondered for a moment and said proactively: "Your Majesty, if your matter is not urgent, I have two things in mind that I want to ask you."
"Oh? King Qinglian, please speak."
"More than half a month ago, the rules of the Holy Academy Demon Hunting Trial in the Demon Hunting Field were temporarily changed. Why didn't you send someone to inform me in advance? I'm not holding you accountable, but my juniors also participated in that trial and almost missed it.
In distress..."
‘Is there such a thing? I missed it because I was so tired that the descendants of Queen Qinglian were almost in danger, so I punished myself with a drink.’ While asking the question, King Qinglian already had some guesses about King Zheng’s response.
But he didn't expect that King Zheng's answer was completely beyond his expectation!
"Zheng, this is the lonely Zheng! I made a decision, why should I inform you, King Qinglian?" King Zheng smiled, scooped up another glass of wine and drank it.
King Qinglian frowned, a little dissatisfied, but King Zheng was the king after all, so he still insisted on respecting him and said: "Your Majesty's words are biased. Zheng Guo should be the Zheng Guo of all Zheng people!"
King Zheng laughed loudly: "Hahaha, King Qinglian is joking. I think you and I should be of the same kind of people, the Zheng people of Zheng? Those weak commoners and low-star monks are nothing more than fertilizer in the field, mud
Among the ants! Zheng Guo, An Neng is the Zheng Guo of those ants?!"
The same kind of person? King Qinglian felt that he was offended. He just showed anger, but suddenly paused, and looked at King Zheng with frowning eyebrows.
King Zheng smiled and said: "Since Bao Zheng, King of Qingtian, the criminal laws of the seven states of Zheng have been strict, and only one person can break the rules. Therefore, the states are extremely peaceful. But in the past few decades, the folk customs of Yanzhou have suddenly undergone great changes.
Change! King Qinglian, your residence has always been rooted in Yanzhou, can you tell me why?"
"...I...don't know."
"I don't know?" King Zheng laughed: "When the folk customs in Yanzhou first began to change, Gu was still in his weak years. He had traveled to Yanzhou and even visited King Qinglian at your residence.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t see you, King Qinglian, because you failed in your third attempt to be promoted to the king, and your three souls were damaged and you are recovering from your injuries!”
King Qinglian was silent.
King Zheng scooped up another glass of wine. After drinking it, he smiled evilly and said: "Hahaha! Kill one person in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles! When it's over, go away, hiding your merits and fame! The first generation Qinglian
Wang, senior Li Bai, when he created the six-star holy soul of Xia Ke Xing, he probably never thought that his descendants would use the same method of raising gu to improve it!"
King Qinglian closed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, it seems that I, like countless others, have underestimated you. I thought no one else would know about this."
He bent down slightly and scooped up half a glass of wine. After King Qinglian drank it, he sighed with emotion: "I failed to be promoted to the king for the third time. I know that I may not be able to be the king under normal circumstances, but as a monk, who doesn't want to be a king?"
A glimpse into the realm of kings?"
With memories and regrets in his eyes, he slowly recounted the past that no one knew about.
"I said I was recuperating, but in fact my soul injury was not serious. I was not at home at the time, but was traveling to adjust. In the border town of Yanzhou, I met a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
His clothes were very shabby. Maybe he was a child from a poor family? Or maybe he was even a beggar? But he had a good heart. After picking up a money bag, he actually chased after it and returned it to its owner.
It's a pity that his kindness was not well rewarded. The businessman who lost his money bag did not appreciate him because of his dirty clothes. Instead, he doubted him and almost took him to the government!"
King Zheng, who was sitting by the wine pool, scooped up another glass of wine, raised it to King Qinglian, and drank it full.
I'll drink, and you tell your story.
King Qinglian said bitterly: "When I was young, I once picked up a money bag and returned it to the owner, but because of the words 'take off your clothes when it's over', I never faced the owner of the money bag head-on.
At that time, I suddenly became curious. If the young man had experienced the same thing many times, would he still be able to maintain his original innocence? So I began to design and try, once, twice, and three times. Finally, the young man who had been wronged for the fifth time
After picking up the money bag, I put the money bag into my arms!
Seeing this scene, I was a little disappointed and a little regretful. I didn't stop him immediately. Instead, I took the money bag away without anyone noticing and returned it to the owner. Then I prepared to accept the young man as a registered disciple.
, teach compensation!
As a result... the mastery of Xia Ke Xing suddenly improved, obviously!
The practice of chivalry is not simple at all. How can there be so many things in the world for you to encounter and for you to act chivalrously?
That day, I suddenly realized that the holy soul is dead, but people are alive. If I want to improve my mastery of the knight's trade, there is a more clever way, and it is no longer hopeless to be promoted to the king!"
The more Qinglian King spoke, the more serious he became.
"So, just a thought!"
After scooping up another glass of wine and drinking it all, King Qinglian put down the glass and bowed to King Zheng!
"From the beginning to the end, I have only been trying on a small scale to improve my own cultivation in order to have a glimpse of the king's realm. Anyone who has been deliberately guided by me will be compensated by me afterwards.
But... I don’t know why, in the past twenty years, the skewed trend has spread like a plague, spreading throughout Yanzhou!
This is the evil result planted by me. Therefore, although I have been promoted to the king, my mentality has a huge loophole, and I will never be able to go further. Perhaps this is the punishment given to me by Father God! Your Majesty, regarding Yanzhou, I would like to
Take the blame!"
King Zheng smiled and said: "I believe that King Qinglian, you are only trying on a small scale, and you will indeed give them adequate compensation afterwards..."
King Qinglian lowered his head: "Fooling people's hearts is also a heinous crime. I am willing to take the blame!"
"After all, the large-scale dissemination was done by Gu Bang!" King Zheng added the second half of the sentence.
King Qinglian paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.
"Your Majesty, what did you... say?"
"Gu is saying that it is Huo Zhou who was appointed governor of Yanzhou to do it to spread the skewed trend on a large scale!" King Zheng stood up with the wine, bowed slightly to King Qinglian, and drank it all with laughter.
King Qinglian's body was slightly stiff.
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me!"
"You feel lonely, are you kidding me?"
King Qinglian was silent and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, why do you do such a thing?"
"In order to fulfill you, King Qinglian." King Zheng smiled: "Oh, and maybe because it's... fun to do this?"
"...Where is the fun?"
"It's interesting to see your regret and suffering, King Qinglian!" King Zheng's decisive voice echoed in the Jiuchi Palace!
A depressing atmosphere spread.
King Qinglian slightly clenched his fists.
With a sarcastic smile, King Zheng walked around Qinglian for two steps and said: "King Qinglian, you clenched your fist, do you want to take action against Gu?"
"I...don't dare!"
"Of course you don't dare! I am King Zheng! You are my vassal!" King Zheng stretched out his hand, patted King Qinglian's cheek gently, and laughed: "Hahahaha, the king?! You are just my plaything!"
King Qinglian's eyes widened instantly, and he was filled with anger. The power of the holy soul surged in his body, and he suddenly reached out and pinched King Zheng's neck! "The king must not be insulted lightly! Your Majesty, you have gone too far!"
Prince Zheng's smile did not diminish, but suddenly a dim light surged behind him, and a humanoid shadow appeared!
This figure has a ferocious face, teeth and claws, and is wearing a luxurious golden robe, but it looks like an evil ghost, exuding deep ferocity and malice!
The figure spoke human words, the same as what King Zheng said: "You?! You are just my plaything!"
The surging momentum surged from King Zheng's body and directly shook away King Qinglian's hand that was holding his neck!
King Qinglian's pupils shrank suddenly and he jumped back.
The ghost-like shadow followed him like a shadow, and a chill that penetrated the three souls gradually grew in the heart of King Qinglian!
In this day and age, I am afraid that few people can identify the identity of the figure.
