The night fell.

Chongli Palace was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The father and son sat quietly, waiting for Nangong Yan to arrive.

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, not particularly welcoming Nangong Yan's arrival.

At that time, he just wanted to take advantage of the situation and keep the tomb plate in the Li Kingdom. He didn't care who would take the blame for the Nangong family.

But he was a little surprised at the time.

The Nangong father and son didn't seem to have any psychological burden when selling their daughter or sister.

But after all, she was from the Nangong family. Even if she came to take the blame, they couldn't easily behead her without a suitable reason.

The best way to handle it was to treat her as a hostage.

But the Nangong father and son clearly wanted to treat her as a discarded pawn.

Even if she was to be a hostage, she should at least have some resistance!

"Tap!"

"Tap!"

"Tap!"

The footsteps were light. If it weren't for the silence in Chongli Palace, the father and son might not have been able to hear the footsteps.

This person was a master of controlling energy, just like the Nangong family's bloodline.

"Guilty girl Nangong Yan, greetings to King Li!"

Nangong Yan walked to the front of the palace and bowed respectfully.

When the father and son saw Nangong Yan's appearance, they were both surprised.

Just now, they heard the footsteps. Nangong Yan was clearly a master of controlling energy, so why did she look so weak?

This person...

Honestly, she had a pretty face.

But her skin had a grayish, lifeless feeling, not a sickly gray, but a dead gray.

If it weren't for the chaotic and mixed energy inside her body, Ying Wuji would even think she was a corpse. But it was precisely this person who had bright and piercing eyes.

Her eyes and body seemed to be in two extremes of life and death.

This kind of physical state was really strange.

Even though Zhao Ji had seen a lot, he had never seen someone like her before, so he couldn't help but take another look at her and calmly said, "Nangong niece, there's no need for so much courtesy. You don't have to rush to confess. Why don't you first tell us what crime you have committed?"

Nangong Yan lowered her eyelids, her voice weak but extremely calm, "This guilty girl is insane. In order to save her older brother, she refined the ancestor's corpse and used such evil techniques. Whether it's the right path of cultivation or the moral principles of humanity, they cannot tolerate this guilty girl. So I beg King Li to execute me as soon as possible, so as not to tarnish the purity of Jiangcheng."

Zhao Ji: "..."

Ying Wuji: "..."

Originally, they were still worried about how to handle her, but unexpectedly, this woman was ready to die as soon as she arrived.

It was really hard to understand.

But...

The father and son exchanged glances and had the same thought.

This woman seemed to be someone they could use.

Because regardless of her physical condition or her desire for death, they were not something a normal noblewoman would have. In addition, the Nangong father and son gave up on her so decisively, which might not be impossible to turn her into a sharp weapon against the Nangong family.

Of course, this was just a preliminary idea. After all, this kind of sharp weapon could easily hurt oneself if not careful, so they had to be cautious.

But there was no need to kill Nangong Yan on the spot. They could send experts to keep an eye on her, and she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Zhao Ji smiled calmly, "Oh? What you mean is that you refined the corpse of the Martial Saint?"

...

"Yes!"

Nangong Yan answered decisively.

Zhao Ji continued to ask, "So you have mastered the art of refining corpses?"

Nangong Yan nodded again, "Yes!"

Zhao Ji leaned forward slightly, smiling ambiguously, "Now there are many traitors' corpses in the Great Li Palace, all of whom were rare masters in their lifetime. If you really have such exquisite corpse refining skills, why not refine corpses for the Great Li? At that time, I can forgive you for your innocence!"

【Recommended by a book friend I've known for ten years, interested in reading.】

Nangong Yan continued, "The evil technique I used was comprehended from an ancient book. This ancient book can reverse bloodlines. If I'm not mistaken, the original text should come from the Muye Stele. If Your Majesty agrees, I am 70% confident that I can restore the bloodline revival technique of the Muye Stele."

Oh snap!

Another bombshell!

Although the Muye Stele has now been destroyed by nearly half, it still contains the bloodline rules that can affect the talents of all people in the world.

Jiang Taiyuan went to great lengths just to revive the Jiang bloodline.

The Zhou royal family was able to create an alliance with the Ji clan because they knew the method of bloodline revival.

Now Nangong Yan has brought out such a big secret.

This person might be a pervert.

Or she might really want to discredit the Nangong family.

But her ultimate goal must be to stir up trouble in Jiangcheng with this secret.

These days, everyone wants to play the role of a pervert.

Did perverts offend you?

Zhao Ji smiled calmly, "Unfortunately! I'm not interested in the Muye Stele. Since you are not the one who refined the ancestor's corpse, then the blame for the chaos caused by the Martial Saint's corpse does not fall on you. But it's too early to absolve you of your guilt. Stay in Jiangcheng and take care of your health. Cao Gonggong, you will be responsible for Nangong niece's daily life, and you must not be negligent."

"Yes!"

Cao Gonggong respectfully replied.

Nangong Yan also arched her hand without joy or sorrow, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After bowing, she followed Cao Gonggong and left.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but laugh, "Father, that old man Nangong Ling really sent us a hot potato!"

To be honest, this Nangong Yan was really difficult to handle.First of all, you are not sure whether she is a real pervert or a fake pervert.

Secondly, you are not sure whether she is a rebel of the Nangong family or an undercover agent arranged by them.

But you can be sure that she is definitely here to disrupt the situation in Jiangcheng.

Zhao Ji frowned for a while and then relaxed, asking with interest, "Which sentence do you think she said was true?"

Ying Wuji shrugged, "How would I know? I feel like this woman didn't speak a single true word, but her tone was very serious. Perhaps only Father King, who has such a sharp gaze, can see through it!"

Zhao Ji glared at him, "Speak properly!"

...

Ying Wuji helplessly said, "I'm not sure about the first few sentences she said. Even if those perverted quotes were made up by her, a normal person can't come up with such perverted things. But... I'm afraid what she said about the Muye Stele is not nonsense."

"Why?"

"Because someone wants Jiangcheng to be in chaos."

"Not bad!"

"Father King! Is Cao Gonggong reliable?"

"Well..."

Zhao Ji smiled ambiguously, "The last time he made a move, he only fought Wu Shisan and ended up losing half a move."

Ying Wuji couldn't help but sigh, "Wow! He's still a master!"

Although he didn't know what position Wu Shisan held in the martial arts world, he felt something when he boasted.

Not to mention anything else.

Just the move where the knife pierced through space is not something an ordinary soldier can do.

Combined with Lao Bi Deng's attitude and the tone of the old father-in-law just now, Wu Shisan is definitely a top figure.

Cao Gonggong only lost half a move, so he should also be a master.

With him watching Nangong Yan, there should be no mistakes.

Ying Wuji licked his lips, "So, Father King, what should we do about the Muye Stele?"

Zhao Ji summed it up concisely, "Do it!"

Ying Wuji understood.

Although the reforms in various countries are essentially about shaping a new order, if you can benefit from the old order, why not?

After all, the improvement of bloodline is real.

Even Bai Zhi is also a beneficiary. Since swallowing the two broken crystals of the Muye Stele, her energy has increased by one point every day she hibernates.

Who can resist such temptation?

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes, "But we have to wait until the dust settles in the new land! Since Nangong Yan is here to stir up trouble, it's unreasonable for only us to know this news. Let's wait, someone is more anxious than us!"

"Okay!"

Ying Wuji agreed and looked at his slightly furrowed brows with a hidden smile.

The Wei and Han families are indeed more anxious than you.

But you shouldn't be calm either!

Although the frontline war is still going on, judging from the situation, the new land of the Great Li has basically settled.

Even if the Kingdom Di can cause some trouble, it's only a matter of time.

As long as the three important passes are held, the new land of the Great Li must be put into use as soon as possible, and it is impossible without population.

But now, the planned battle to recruit people by the royal family has surprisingly poor results.

Ying Wuji is already very impressed that Zhao Ji can listen to his advice and not immediately fight against the Wei and Han families.

"By the way, Father King!"

Ying Wuji smiled, "The first batch of jade soaps has arrived and can be delivered at any time!"

Zhao Ji finally smiled, "Good! Let's delay the payment from Kingdom Qian for now and tell them that if they want to receive the payment, they must exchange it for discounted grain. Our ally has done a lot of harm secretly!"

Ying Wuji grinned.

You really don't treat me as an outsider and let me harm my own country in front of us!

But this matter should indeed be done as Zhao Ji said.

Because the money for the new land construction is not easy to use, grain and cloth are the real hard currency. If we want to attract all the refugees affected by the disaster on the Qian-Li border, we have to rely on these grains.

Lao Bi Deng is really unkind. The frequent actions of the Qian army have made the Wei family's army jump around, causing the Wei territory to be particularly tense. The army is moving extremely frequently, making the already difficult migration order even worse.

...

Ying Wuji smiled slightly, "No problem! I can take out my 20% to help in emergencies!"

Zhao Ji patted his shoulder with a smile, "It's rare that you have such a heart! If you don't lack money, you can use it as a temporary solution. I won't treat you badly in the future!"

"Oh?"

Ying Wuji said firmly, "Since I have joined the royal family, I am one with the royal family! We rise and fall together. The new land is the foundation of the Great Li's rise. If there is a place where I can be of use, I have no reason to refuse."

Zhao Ji: "..."

Although he didn't know how sincere this kid was.

But to hear such words at this critical moment, it was quite touching.

"But... Father King!"

Ying Wuji hesitated a bit, "There is something I'm not sure if I should say or not!"

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "You can say it!"

Ying Wuji took a deep breath, "The effect of the migration order is minimal now. In addition to the reasons we just mentioned, I think the focus of the migration order itself has also deviated a bit."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, "Tell me!"

Ying Wuji smiled, "Although I entered the Li family at a young age, I actually received orthodox education from the Kingdom Qian. I believe that the old Qian people are happy to hear about war. This is the key to the Kingdom Qian becoming a fierce country.

In this migration order, private land is indeed the attraction for the people, but if we can open up private land, the Wei and Han families can do the same."Even if the conditions offered by the Wei and Han families are not as generous as ours, they can still retain many people due to their attachment to their homeland. Moreover, they have set up checkpoints to prevent the movement of the people.

Therefore, I believe that our focus on private land is actually missing the point.

What can truly drive the people mad is the opportunity to rise from the bottom.

If they can get this opportunity by migrating to a new place, even if the process is extremely difficult, they will surely flee their homeland one after another.

So, I want to use my own money,

To obtain cultivation resources from the official channels, for the cultivation of young talents in the new land.

If Father thinks it is feasible and can spare the effort, he can completely take over this channel. By then, the waves of talents emerging in the new land will also be grateful for the kindness of the royal family."

"This is a brilliant idea!"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but praise. He had previously felt that focusing on private land was like punching the air. Now, hearing Ying Wuji's analysis, he finally understood.

It's not his fault, really.

Because he was really tight on funds before, without Ying Wuji's 20% profit, he really didn't have the confidence to offer such conditions.

What a good son-in-law!

Thinking of such a good strategy but not taking any credit, letting the royal family reap all the fame, he hides his achievements and name.

Moved!

Zhao Ji was very pleased: "Let's do as you say. With such benefits ahead, even if we have to fight with Wei and Han, we can afford it! Wuji, you've worked hard!"

"Everything for the Zhao family, everything for the Kingdom Li!"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

Ying Wuji spoke righteously, but quickly put on a smiling face: "By the way, Father! I want to stay in Qingjiang Palace tonight, do you allow it?"

Zhao Ji: "......"

He helplessly waved his hand: "Allowed, allowed!"

"Hey! Great!"

Ying Wuji stood up with a grin: "Then Father! It's getting late, I'll go back to rest first!"

After getting the permission, he happily left the palace, then found a shady place.

Invisible.

Underground.

Although this round started with his own money, once Zhao Ji tasted the sweetness, he would definitely increase his investment.

By then, at least 70% of the talents emerging in the new land would be his students, and he would definitely get a full share of the cultivation resources.

This round!

This round is called selling favors to the father-in-law and nurturing his own students.

Not only can it promote family harmony, but it can also increase his own cards.

Perfect.

Enough said.

First, go to sleep with Tang Tang.

I want to drink hot and spicy soup.
