Greed!

Too greedy.

Ying Wuji knows he is greedy.

Everyone knows Ying Wuji is greedy.

Ying Wuji knows that everyone knows he is greedy.

But he still indulges in greed.

These are all experts at the level of soldiers. Although many have died, there are still about twenty or thirty left.

No matter where they are placed, they are forces that can make people tremble.

If he can take them all under his control, then this journey to the end of the Capital of the Great Ming will truly be a victory.

However, these people under my command have always been rebellious.

The subordinates of Danqing, just to extend their lives, work with Danqing, but Danqing does not have complete control over them. This can be seen from their almost rebellious actions later.

The subordinates of Hongchen, although they have achieved basic obedience, are all marked with the imprint of Hongchen, forcibly planted by me.

It is not easy to completely subdue these people.

Especially, they cannot be easily released.

So many experts at the level of soldiers, even the formation of the old man may not be able to withstand them completely.

Even if they are all killed, it will still consume a lot of power from the royal family.

So there is only one criterion.

That is to completely control them with the help of the Red Dust All Mine and the Illusion Mirror Technique.

Ying Wuji sneered: "Whoever has the Red Dust imprint can leave."

Hearing this, the original subordinates of Danqing were all resentful.

What's the difference between having the Red Dust imprint and becoming a slave?

But if they don't become slaves, they won't be able to leave.

Life.

And freedom.

Which one is more important?

The swordsman stared at the Danqing's brush in Ying Wuji's left hand and the Red Dust imprint on his right fingertip, and pondered for a long time.

Finally, he asked a question: "What happened to Danqing?"

Ying Wuji smiled: "Danqing! Danqing naturally surrendered to us, otherwise why would I be able to come and go freely here?"

The swordsman fell silent.

He had spent a considerable amount of time with Danqing.

He knew that the Danqing's brush and painting were relics left by his master. Even if the Great Emperor himself came, he would not be able to touch them in front of him.

With Danqing's pathological obsession with his master.

Even if he died.

He would never let others touch the relics left by his master.

Danqing's surrender was quite credible.

Ying Wuji continued to persuade: "And with the Red Dust All Mine, does it really restrict you so much? With the level of the Red Dust, it's just like having a bunch of soldiers around as bodyguards, serving you with good food and drink. They dare not leave.

I'll tell you the truth.

I should be the richest person in the entire Great Li.

And I am known for being handsome and kind. They are just serving as my bodyguards. How can they violate their true selves?

As long as you agree, I will provide resources for Danqing to extend your lifespan to the limit, and you only need to serve as my bodyguards with half of your lifespan.

Why not?"

Once again, everyone fell into contemplation.

They had heard from Danqing about the Red Dust All Mine. In his mouth, it was just a mediocre ability.

For those below the level of soldiers, it can ignore distance and spread like a plague. As long as the Red Dust imprint is planted, it can easily possess and control.

But for those above the level of soldiers, possessing and controlling them consumes a lot of energy and cannot be done remotely.

So the Red Dust can only be planted on a few more people, gathering them around to protect the main body.

This is also why the Red Dust is inferior to Danqing's power.

To let Danqing provide lifespan.

And then serve as bodyguards with half of their lifespan.

It is not unacceptable.

But the swordsman still had some doubts and cautiously asked, "Why did Danqing surrender to you?"

Ying Wuji's face tightened: "If you were Danqing's confidant, you should know that everything Danqing did was to resurrect his master. And his master's true self happens to be in the body of one of my beloved women.

I don't need to say where this painting scroll came from. For Danqing, it is almost his life.

But he could have slowly left this place in a stable manner.

But he suddenly abandoned the painting and only let his soul leave.

Almost destroying the painting scroll.

Guess why he left in such a hurry?"

The swordsman couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to his master?"

Ying Wuji nodded: "Yes! It was your leader's sinister plan that was caught by Danqing, and they both suffered. We took advantage of the situation. Danqing wants to bring his master back to life, and we don't want to lose his painting skills and your help. So..."

He stopped halfway and didn't continue speaking.

His face became struggling and gloomy.

The swordsman sneered: "So he sold his beloved woman to him, and he was forced to work for the royal family, right?"

Ying Wuji neither confirmed nor denied, just coldly responded, "Hmm?"

The swordsman spat out a mouthful of phlegm: "You people from the royal family are all heartless. You can even sell your beloved woman!"

Ying Wuji seemed to be hit in a sore spot: "Nonsense! If you dare to speak nonsense again, you will never leave this place for the rest of your life!"

The swordsman looked at his appearance and became more certain of his guess.

Since that's the case.

Then he needs to propose more conditions!

He said in a deep voice, "Then you have to swear by Zhuan Xu's blood, and you also have to promise..."

"You, a prisoner, have the audacity to ask me for other conditions? And swear by blood?"

Ying Wuji's eyes were filled with anger, and even bloodshot veins burst out, as if his defenses had been broken by his previous words.

With a clang, he drew out his shining sword: "I'll count to three. If you don't agree after three, I will destroy this scroll, and you will stay in this place forever!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

Everyone struggled, but still couldn't make up their minds.

Because they always felt that there was something strange about this.

One is whether they should kneel down and become dogs.

The other is whether they should trust Ying Wuji.

After all, this person is quite sinister.

There always seems to be a conspiracy.

No one is sure which sentence is true and which sentence is false."Good!"

"Very good!"

Ying Wuji glanced at everyone and felt extremely annoyed. He didn't expect that his image in their hearts would be so unbearable. Even after he had acted like this, they still didn't believe him.

He snorted coldly and directly dove into the scroll.

It seemed that he was ready to destroy this passage.

Everyone's hearts filled with panic.

But unexpectedly...

Ying Shisan grabbed his wrist and said sternly, "You still have a few more years to spend with Hua Chao. Aren't you satisfied? You're willing to exchange a useless woman for Qingyi and a group of powerful soldiers. Aren't you at a loss?"

Ying Wuji's tone was filled with despair, "That's worth it to you! You guys are really something, exchanging my wife for a bunch of useless people. Let go of me, or I'll destroy this scroll and we'll all die here together."

"Damn it!"

Ying Shisan's anger surged.

He pointed his finger like a sword and fiercely aimed at his dantian, as if to seal his cultivation and prevent him from doing anything impulsive.

But unexpectedly, before the sword-like finger arrived, Ying Wuji turned into a soybean.

The previous Ying Wuji had actually transformed into a soybean soldier using the Scatter Beans to Form Soldiers technique?

Everyone couldn't help but be astonished for a moment.

The next moment, they saw a figure rushing out and directly snatching the scroll.

Then, a terrifying prohibition descended, trapping everyone except him.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Yesterday, it was this thing that trapped them for a while, and they could only watch as the group left.

Could it be that the same plot was going to repeat itself today?

Ying Shisan couldn't help but curse, "Are you rebelling, kid?"

Ying Wuji's eyes turned red, "You're always thinking about your precious sister, but my wife's life doesn't matter? If it weren't for your lousy idea, would the King of Li have this idea? Didn't you say that these people would yield? Now that I've locked you up with them, make them yield!"

"I'll give you time. If you can make them all kneel down, I'll listen to you. If you can't make them kneel down, I'll leave on my own and say that our mission failed because you sacrificed yourself to protect me. Is that okay?"

Ying Shisan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ying Shisan struggled a bit, but could only draw his sword and look at everyone.

The knife-wielder panicked.

Before, he still had some conditions to negotiate.

Now, there was no choice left.

He quickly looked at Ying Shisan and said, "Senior Thirteen, what's the situation?"

Ying Shisan snorted coldly, "Don't ask, just attack!"

The knife-wielder didn't think that Ying Shisan could defeat everyone alone, but just now there was still room for negotiation, and now it had completely collapsed?

Listening to Ying Wuji's words...

The master of Danqing and Ying Shisan's sister were the same person?

And for the sake of his confidante, he even wanted to kill Ying Shisan?

This...

The knife-wielder quickly said, "Senior Thirteen, why don't you first explain the situation inside? We can discuss it between us!"

Ying Shisan struggled a bit.

But he still briefly explained the situation.

Everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder they felt something was off just now.

Because the information they received was that Ying Wuji was an extremely impulsive person who loved acting on impulse. He even publicly beat Ying Wuque for the sake of Hua Chao.

Someone who didn't even care about Ying Wuque.

How could he do these things just to capture their group?

Now they understood.

It turned out that Ying Shisan's sister was Danqing's master, and she was a saint of her generation.

If the plan succeeded, the King of Li would be able to gather a large number of forces.

Only the King of Li had the qualifications to force Ying Wuji to do such things.

But unexpectedly, Ying Wuji, who was in such a huge deal, still dared to act impulsively!

He directly locked up Ying Shisan.

If he really left during the continuous time of the Jedi Heaven Passage and then destroyed the scroll, their group would truly lose all hope of leaving.

Ying Wuji was truly insane.

Was there nothing else in his head besides love and affection?

The originally good situation for both sides to negotiate had turned into this extreme situation?

"I'm going to the Shu Dao Mountain!"

Just then!

Ying Wuji seemed to have exhausted all his patience, and his vocal cords were about to burst.

Everyone's hearts tightened.

"Three!"

"Two!"

Just as the word "one" was about to be spoken.

Someone couldn't hold back anymore.

"I agree!"

Upon hearing this voice.

Ying Wuji's expression eased slightly, but his tone was still hostile, "You alone, want to exchange for my wife?"

"I agree!"

"I also agree!"

It's better to be alive than dead.

The id is the instinctual desire of all living beings.

The first item is survival.

When there is a choice, everyone wants to bargain.

Now that there is no choice, they can only surrender.

The voices of agreement echoed one after another.

The knife-wielder could only grit his teeth and say, "I also agree!"

Ying Wuji tightly gripped the hilt of the sword, then loosened it a bit, but his expression was still filled with immense struggle. It was obvious that he was reluctant to let go of his confidante.

Ying Shisan said in a deep voice, "This matter is already settled. Even if you leave impulsively now, the King of Li won't let go of your confidante. Besides, it will take a few more years to fulfill the agreement with Danqing. She's just an ordinary woman. Can't you play with her for a few more years?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

He gritted his teeth.

Then he condensed dozens of Red Dust Marks in the palm of his hand.

And threw them into the formation.

"Here, plant them yourselves!"

Everyone looked at each other. Although they were somewhat unwilling, their lives were all in the hands of Ying Wuji, who had a mental disability.

This mental disability had finally given up on his confidante.

They couldn't let him change his mind again.

There was no other choice but to plant the marks on the back of their necks.

But unexpectedly.

Just as they planted the Red Dust Marks on their necks.

They suddenly felt a mirror appearing in their minds, and in the mirror, there was a figure looking at them. Although the facial features were exactly the same, the expression and gaze were mocking.

Oh no!A wave of extreme panic exploded in their hearts.

They looked up suddenly.

They saw Ying Shisan, who took a long breath.

And Wuji, who grinned and laughed, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

Wuji sat cross-legged directly on the ground, and the sword of Hanguang made a strange tune out of thin air, causing the person who had just planted the Red Dust Mark to faint.

This is the result of the combination of the Red Dust Mark and the Mysterious Mirror Technique.

No wonder the Red Dust Mark repeatedly wanted to find Jiang Leqing to comprehend the divine power together. The Mysterious Mirror Technique can greatly enhance his control over his subordinates, and the Red Dust Mark is obedient to him. It can also pave the way for the Mysterious Mirror Technique. Moreover, each Red Dust Mark can be used as a mirror, completely expanding the upper limit of Wuji's use of the Mysterious Mirror Technique.

When they voluntarily planted the Red Dust Mark.

There was no turning back.

And at this moment.

Wuji had already sat cross-legged. Whether the Mysterious Mirror Technique could succeed or not depended entirely on the strength of his spirit.

Unfortunately, his thirteen layers of spiritual fetus condensed by concentration, plus the awakening of the Tianren Clan's bloodline.

The strength of his spirit was so strong that even a soldier would have to kneel down.

But relying solely on the strength of his spirit to fight against so many experts, even the backlash alone would be enough to cause trouble.

But with the Red Dust Mark, things became much smoother.

At this moment, Wuji's mind was already in chaos.

But his old face didn't turn red at all. He just put them all into the mirror.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Wuji stood up, and the group of people who were just cursing and complaining had completely quieted down. Although there were still complex emotions in their eyes when they looked at him, they were just emotions projected by their true consciousness and could not resist the Mysterious Mirror, nor could they do anything unfavorable to Wuji.

He turned his head and looked at Ying Shisan, couldn't help but smirk, "Thirteenth Lord, your acting skills are really good! These people are just stubborn. They don't accept good words and only respond to threats."

He almost laughed crookedly.

More than twenty soldiers, all of them were now under his control.

Who else in this world, besides the kings of various countries, has so many experts under their command?

"Heh..."

Ying Shisan gave him a white look, feeling somewhat helpless.

He never thought that at his age, he would still have to cooperate with these young people to act.

To deceive.

To ambush.

In his many years of wandering the world, he had never done such a despicable thing.

If it weren't for these demonic people who were even more despicable, he might not have been able to convince himself to listen to Wuji.

He impatiently waved his hand, "According to the pre-arranged plan, these two big demons are handed over to me!"

"Alright!"

Wuji smiled.

He could tell that Ying Shisan attached great importance to these two big demons.

To be precise, he valued that fox demon, Hu Huhu.

After all, she was the close friend of his wife, Hu Cuihua.

In the human kingdom, these big demons were considered taboo, and in the hands of Zhao Ji, the probability of them ending up dead was high. Only by helping Wuji deal with these experts could Ying Shisan have the qualification to negotiate with Zhao Ji.

This was also discussed between him and Wuji yesterday.

Presumably, Wuji had already talked to Zhao Ji.

He turned and walked towards the corner.

The big tree there moved on its own, and the leaves made a rustling sound, as if it was a warning.

When Ying Shisan got close enough, Jin Jinjing quickly transformed into human form, hiding the semi-unconscious Hu Huhu behind her back. With one hand, she concealed her vigilantly, while the other hand controlled countless vines and thorns, looking at Ying Shisan with a guarded expression.

Ying Shisan glanced at her.

He felt that this plant girl's intelligence was really not high.

But why was Hu Huhu still in a semi-unconscious state?

He looked up.

The projection of the Id quickly explained, "I didn't deliberately target her. She just couldn't take a hit!"

Ying Shisan nodded only after that. Although the big demons could all transform and had high intelligence, most of them survived based on their instincts, so it was not surprising that they were influenced by the rules of the Id.

He glanced at Jin Jinjing and said in a deep voice, "You should also be able to see that I have no intention of killing her. Now that you are in a desperate situation, if you don't want to die, come with me!"

Jin Jinjing remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she nodded.

Ying Shisan looked towards the other side, where his subordinates had already left in an orderly manner.

Every time someone passed by, there would be a sound of cold air being sucked in from the sky.

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

The projection of the Id complained incessantly.

It was about to burst!

But it didn't dare to complain or stop Wuji, for fear that Wuji would have ill intentions towards it.

Wuji beckoned to Ying Shisan, indicating that they could leave.

Only then did he beckon to the projection of the Id in the sky, "Come down!"

The projection of the Id: "..."

Although reluctant.

It obediently jumped down to the ground.

Wuji patted its face, "I still have use for you in Mingdu, so I'll spare your life for now. But..."

As he said this.

He suddenly changed his tone.

The projection of the Id trembled and revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, "What else do you command?"

Before, there were still Danqing that could be used to counterbalance it. Now it had become fish on the chopping block. It had to please this knife and chopping board.

Wuji looked at it with a smile that wasn't a smile, "In a place like Anyi, how many pieces can you help me create?"

He had heard Jiang Leqing mention it before.

When the end of the world appeared, all the rules were materialized here, and the influence on Anyi would be much lower. When the end of the world disappeared again, these rules would slowly return to normal levels.

But because the Muyan Monument was cut, the rules of Anyi were disturbed. Jiang Leqing used the formation left by Jiang Taigong to transform this place into a stable rear area.

Ji Tong seemed to have mastered this technique as well.

However.

This required a prerequisite.

That is, the appearance of the end of the world.

The little brother in front of him should know a lot about this.

Wuji couldn't let this little brother leave unscathed after almost losing his life here. If he didn't cut off a few pieces of meat, he would find it hard to dispel his hatred.The shadow of my ego had an ugly expression on his face.

But in the next moment.

Ying Wuji's sword was already placed on his neck.

He immediately changed to a brilliant smile and answered fluently, "Actually, it's not difficult. You can think of each rule as a polymer of countless threads, manipulating every inch of the Capital of the Great Ming.

The Muye Stele is an object that forcibly changes the rules, binding all the threads of bloodline rules together, and then radiating the entire world through it.

The threads of bloodline rules are the most numerous here, naturally leaving fewer threads for other rules.

After the threads of bloodline rules are broken, they should be slowly filled by other threads.

But at this time, the rules are manifested in me, causing other threads to not be able to fill in, forming an empty space.

The Jiang royal family and the secret techniques mastered by my sect protect this empty space.

As long as you can sever all the threads in a certain place, with the appearance of the end of the Capital of the Great Ming and the formation that isolates the threads, you can have as much land as you want.

But this kind of land has basically escaped the control of the Capital of the Great Ming and cannot be considered a mirror image of the Great World.

One or two pieces are fine.

The structure of the Capital of the Great Ming can still withstand it.

But if it becomes more, the puppeteer of the Capital of the Great Ming will completely lose control.

It won't take long for it to collapse on its own."

"I see!"

Ying Wuji pondered, the Capital of the Great Ming's world was indeed a bit insignificant, anchored to the Great World by threads of rules, fearing being discovered by the Great World while unable to sever all the threads.

The shadow of my ego anxiously said, "So if you want to truly control the Capital of the Great Ming, you still have to merge with me. In that case, you can control everything in the Capital of the Great Ming."

"I can tell you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't you say you can withstand a piece of land? You said if I can sever the rules in that area, can you cooperate and help me create a piece of land?"

The shadow of my ego hesitated, "I..."

Ying Wuji waved the sword in his hand, "Ji Tong can't kill you, but I can. Think carefully."

The shadow of my ego gritted his teeth, "Fine! But there is only one object like the Muye Stele that binds a large number of threads. To achieve the same conditions, you need to be able to create a divine object equivalent to the Muye Stele. This is a matter of fate, and I can't help you with it."

"Don't worry! You don't need to worry about it!"

Ying Wuji patted the face of the shadow of my ego and saw that the other person had almost left.

He waved to the shadow of my ego and also left through the crack.

The end of the Capital of the Great Ming was just lively a moment ago.

In the blink of an eye, it became desolate.

The rules of my ego were terrified just now, afraid that the crack would be torn apart by so many people, but now he felt somewhat lost.

He felt like he had become a defiled widow.

Not only was his little braid caught by Ying Wuji, but he also got the key to his own home.

Whenever he felt like it, he could come in and do as he pleased.

"What a loss!"

...

Chongli Palace.

Zhao Ji looked at the martial masters who were taken away by the imperial guards, unable to close his mouth from laughing. He didn't expect Ying Wuji to actually subdue them.

Nearly thirty martial masters, it was indeed a very terrifying force.

Very suitable to be in Ying Wuji's hands.

To do some things that couldn't be seen in the light.

After all, these were demonic beings of my sect, their existence could only expand Ying Wuji's strength, but not his influence, just right.

As for the two great demons...

Zhao Ji leaned forward slightly and looked at Ying Shisan, "Senior Thirteen, you are the elder, Wuji has already told me about your thoughts. In consideration of your face, I will let them return to the Demon Domain without much difficulty.

But as a descendant of Zhuanxu, you should be aware of the danger of the demonic race.

So my suggestion is to completely abolish their cultivation before letting them return to the Demon Domain."

Ying Shisan's pupils contracted.

Although he had expected this result long ago.

But the plan proposed by Zhao Ji was indeed the most merciful.

Just about to agree.

Suddenly, a voice was heard.

"Hold on!"

Hu Huhu stepped forward, "This human majesty, I have something to say."

After leaving the end of the Capital of the Great Ming.

Her mind instantly became clear.

And she regained her previous calm and composed demeanor.

Zhao Ji looked her up and down, not showing much interest in his gaze.

He was interested in making deals with anyone.

Except for the demonic race.

Disabling their cultivation to eliminate future troubles was the simplest and most worry-free method.

Hu Huhu seemed to be unaware of this scrutinizing gaze, just covering her mouth and laughing lightly, "Human majesty, our Demon Domain is powerful. Disabling our cultivation and exiling us back is no different from killing us.

There is an ancient saying among humans, 'Those who recognize the current situation are the wise ones.'

And there is another idiom, 'To make amends by rendering meritorious service.'

I believe that the benefits we can bring to the Kingdom Li should be much greater than the threat!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Ji raised an eyebrow, not knowing where she got the confidence to say such things.

Others also looked at Hu Huhu.

Ying Wuji smacked his lips, feeling that this fox demon didn't seem as impulsive and irritable as his first impression.

She was quite calm now.

Hu Huhu smiled calmly, "We came from the north and passed by the new land of the Great Li. We found that there are still many uncultivated wastelands. I won't hide it, I have a friend from the Ox Clan who can plow thirty-seven fields at once. As long as there are enough farming tools, thousands of acres of fertile land can be cultivated in a few days.

That ox is very stubborn, and your human race can't persuade him.

But I can!"

Zhao Ning: "..."

Ying Wuji: "..."

Ying Shisan: "..."

As soon as she mentioned farming, Zhao Ji's eyes finally lit up. But after thinking about it, he waved his hand, "The people of the Great Li can cultivate the land themselves. It's not to the point where they can't survive without these thirty-seven oxen."Hu Huhu smiled and waved his hand: "Your Majesty's words are naturally reasonable, but the northern region is too vast, and the land is uneven. Some places have abundant water and grass, while others have poor soil.

Even with the ancestral supernatural powers of the Li royal family, which can be used to control the weather, it is not easy to transform the wasteland into fertile fields.

I think that the land cultivated by the people of Li Kingdom is probably only the originally fertile areas, right?

Such a large piece of land lying idle, don't you think it's a waste?"

Zhao Ji pondered for a moment: "Then what is your suggestion?"

Hu Huhu took a deep breath: "My friend from the Niu Clan, he can eat a lot and produce a lot of waste..."

Everyone: "..."

Hu Huhu also felt that this topic was a bit inappropriate, but he continued: "In three years, he can cultivate all the wasteland in the northern region. He can eat all the abandoned grass and turn it into fertilizer."

Everyone: "..."

Is it really that amazing?

Hu Huhu pointed to Jin Jinjing beside him and continued: "And my friend here, her special ability can stimulate the vitality of all things. As long as the soil is fertile enough, she can triple your food production."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone present looked at each other.

Ying Wuji also felt a bit overwhelmed. This was a great opportunity for the Li Kingdom!

The future looks promising.

But the future looks promising.

It also means that it's not possible now.

So far, it has been all investment without any return.

Whether the first batch of crops can recover the investment is crucial.

The combination of Niu Benben and Jin Jinjing is too terrifying.

For a moment.

He even doubted.

Are these three powerful beings here to harm him or to bring warmth?

The key is that Hu Huhu's words are too smooth.

Not only does he know the current situation of the Li Kingdom very well, but his strategies are also extremely clear.

It seems that he has done his homework in advance.

What is this fox demon here for in the Li Kingdom?

To cause trouble?

Hu Huhu looked up at Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty! What do you think?"

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.com]"

Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, narrowed his eyes and said, "I think it's great! Ning'er, send these two demon friends to rest, treat them well, and meet with the Niu Clan friend in the new land in ten days!"

"I obey!"

Zhao Ning took a deep breath, bowed to Zhao Ji, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please!"

Then.

He left with Hu Huhu and Jin Jinjing.

From beginning to end, Jin Jinjing did not raise any objections, it seems that she trusts Hu Huhu completely.

Ying Wuji looked at her back thoughtfully.

He felt that Hu Huhu seemed to have some hidden agenda, as if he was planning to deceive someone.

But whether it was deceiving the human race or the demon race, he was not sure.

But Zhao Ji was an experienced person, he could handle the situation with Jin Jinjing.

He didn't need to worry about it.

When Jin Jinjing was about to leave, she turned around and glanced at Ying Shisan, her eyes filled with an indescribable meaning.

Ying Shisan saw that they had survived, and also bowed to Zhao Ji: "Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave!"

Seeing Zhao Ji nodding, he directly opened up the space and left.

I don't know what he wants to do.

The hall was empty, with only a few people left.

Zhao Ji smiled and looked at Hua Chao: "Hua Chao, you have made great contributions this time. What reward do you want?"

"I, the commoner, have no merits, so I dare not ask for rewards!"

Hua Chao quickly bowed, she already knew the secret of Zhao Ning's identity, but the royal family did not have any intention to harm her, they only sent people to protect her secretly.

All of this.

Was all because of Luo Yan's mediation.

She used to refuse to admit it.

But now...

Her emotions were complicated, she looked up at Zhao Ji: "But I have one request!"

Zhao Ji's gaze flickered: "You can speak!"

Hua Chao struggled a bit: "I hope... my father can live a peaceful life in his old age!"

She was not sensitive to politics.

But she had heard a lot from Bai Yi.

Luo Yan's reform had already offended the Zhao family and the small families who had moved to the new land. There was no reason for him to retreat without any loss.

No matter how severe the consequences were.

They couldn't blame the royal family.

It was Luo Yan himself who sought death.

And Luo Yan had almost dedicated all his efforts to Hua Wanqiu, and he had no way out.

But she still hoped that Luo Yan could live a peaceful life...

Zhao Ji sighed lightly: "When you say 'live a peaceful life', do you mean a decent way to leave, or to fulfill all his wishes before leaving?"

"This..."

Hua Chao hesitated.

Zhao Ji looked at her and smiled slightly: "I think! Whether Luo Xiang can live a peaceful life or not depends not on me, but on you!"

Hua Chao: "..."

Zhao Ji continued: "The Minister's Mansion will be peaceful for one more day, even if the court meeting is over tomorrow, I believe we can still have a few days of calm. It's up to you to make the decision!"

Hua Chao struggled with her expression, but could only thank him and silently stood aside.

At this time, Wu Shuangxu had the opportunity to step forward: "Your Majesty! I have a request!"

"Please speak!"

Zhao Ji's expression slightly changed, of course he knew Wu Shuangxu's background.

With the identity of the Bai family's old Taoist, Wu Shuangxu could definitely be considered one of his own.

Plus, she had made a lot of contributions herself.

For such a rising star, as long as the request was not excessive, Zhao Ji always granted it.

Wu Shuangxu bowed: "The battle in the capital of the Great Ming this time was a trade between the Li and Qi Kingdoms. If my guess is correct, my senior brother must have had a hand in it. Jiang Taiyuan acted privately and almost ruined the overall situation, which has violated the rules of the sect, but I can't find his whereabouts.

Now that the battle in the capital of the Great Ming has settled, the negotiations between the Li and Qi Kingdoms will begin soon. This is a matter of life and death for the Jiang royal family. I believe that Jiang Taiyuan, as a key figure in the Jiang royal family, should personally attend this negotiation.

This matter is a personal matter for me, which violates the rules and regulations.""But I hope Your Majesty will consider it."

Zhao Ji furrowed his brows in deep thought.

As for this Jiang Taiyuan, he certainly had no good feelings towards him.

He was single-mindedly trying to take advantage of the situation to gain the so-called "Two Sages'" favor, but he almost trapped Ying Wuji in the chaos of the tomb.

Although he helped the Ying and Zhao families solve the fertility curse.

But he also put Ying Wuji in a near-death situation.

Moreover, he bewitched Li Caitan to dismantle the Zhuan Xu seal that guarded the royal family of the Kingdom Li, this kind of thing was even more unforgivable.

What was even more outrageous was.

He even wanted to collude with Qian Wang during the Sword Immortal Conference, using the illusion in the mirror to replace Ying Wuji's soul.

If he had succeeded, what serious consequences would it have caused.

This person.

Ying Wuji wanted to kill him.

Zhao Ji also wanted to kill him!

This kind of person, who has nothing in his mind but the restoration of the country.

For the sake of restoring the country, he could do all kinds of bottomless things.

Zhao Ji's gaze was slightly solemn, he took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry! I will draft a national letter, if Jiang Taiyuan does not come in person, then this negotiation cannot be counted."

Wu Shuangxu bowed his hand in thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

With this.

This series of events finally came to an end.

Several people took their leave one after another, leaving the palace by carriage.

……

The carriage rumbled forward.

The palace was very close to the Minister's Mansion, less than half an hour's journey.

Hua Chao was in low spirits, showing no joy of returning home.

Ying Wuji sighed lightly, directly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said to the coachman, "Turn around, go to the Minister's Mansion!"

"Eh?"

Hua Chao was startled, she wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't speak.

After hesitating for a long time, she leaned gently against Ying Wuji: "Wuji! Do you think I'm very unreasonable?"

"Is this unreasonable?"

Ying Wuji gently patted her back.

"Is this reasonable?"

Hua Chao's eyes were a bit lost: "I used to look down on Luo Xiang, thinking that he abandoned his wife and child for wealth and honor, and few men in the world could be as heartless as him. I even looked down on my mother a bit, why did she still force me to recognize my relatives in Jiang City before she died, even though such a heartless person had treated her like this.

She had clearly explained it to me.

But I didn't listen to a word.

I spent my days guarding my imagined unbearable memories, hurting this person and that person.

My mother was able to let go of everything to fulfill her hero in her heart.

But I'm so petty.

Yesterday……

I even had the idea of simply destroying the scroll and letting you stay there for the rest of your life.

Am I too vicious?"

Ying Wuji gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes: "No one is perfect, if having a few dark thoughts makes one a bad person, then I might have been beheaded several times already.

Your mother was indeed willing to fulfill Luo Xiang, but she must have had resentment in her heart, otherwise your obsession would not have been so deep-rooted.

Luo Xiang, although well-intentioned, was stubborn and could not be considered a qualified father.

Just like me.

Although I sincerely want to be good to you.

But I also used some underhanded methods to keep you from leaving me.

The key is……

Are you willing to forgive?"

Hua Chao's eyes were lost for a moment, and she quickly said, "Of course I'm willing to forgive!"

Ying Wuji's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly: "Then why do you think your little willfulness is not worthy of forgiveness?"

Just then.

The carriage stopped.

It stopped at the back door of the Minister's Mansion.

Under Ying Wuji's encouraging gaze, Hua Chao stepped out of the carriage.

At the door.

An old man with white hair had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Hua Chao get out of the carriage, his expression suddenly became nervous, and his first reaction was to run away.

But he held onto the door frame tightly, suppressing this thought.

Tears streamed down his old face, his voice trembled, but he still pretended to be calm: "You're here!"

Hua Chao walked slowly, bowed her hands, and deeply saluted: "Greetings, Father!"

……

In the north of the city.

A secluded courtyard.

Ji Tong looked at all the messages passed on by his subordinates from all directions, and finally understood the inner workings of this matter.

He took a long breath: "Old Bai, Qingyi, you guys are so cunning!"

This time he thought he had control of the situation, and no matter what, he could put Ying Wuji in a deadly situation.

But he never thought that he would end up in a complete defeat.

Not only did Ying Wuji escape safely.

He didn't even master the Danqing Miao technique.

Not to mention the method of reincarnation.

Nangong Yan crawled out from under the desk, wiped the corner of her mouth, and softly comforted: "Prince, don't be angry, victory or defeat is a common thing in the military, we can start over next time!"

Ji Tong's smile didn't contain a trace of defeat: "Of course!"

Nangong Yan smiled: "Then I'll continue?"

With that, she was about to crawl back under the desk.

But Ji Tong stopped her: "No need! The next move can start now!"

"Yes!"

Nangong Yan quickly helped him tidy up his clothes and quickly activated her true energy projection.

Next.

Ji Tong wanted to carefully design Luo Yan's death.

And……the way for Zhao Ning to fall from grace.
