I got the underworld gift pack

Xu Chuan didn't look any further.Sitting in the hall, closing his eyes, he silently comprehended the artistic conception. The improvement of his reputation made him feel that there was only a little window paper left on the third floor of his "Geography" artistic conception. He only needed to pierce this layer of window paper...

"Xu Chuan! Xu Chuan!" Daoist Huoyun's eyes were about to breathe fire, but his eyes were indeed filled with flames, and the red mysterious fire was dancing all over his body.Now he only prayed in his heart, praying that Peng Hao must hold on, must hold on.To deal with Xu Chuan?He has the heart, but neither the strength nor the guts!

That was Princess Miaoyin's son-in-law, and Tiancewei was going to lead him.

Just when Master Huoyun was boiling with anger, he kept praying for his apprentice.All I heard was a commotion from outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Then a group of comprehension military guards broke in, all of them were wearing gorgeous robes with flying clouds, sea waves, and red cliffs embroidered on them, all of them had long swords on their waists, white jade tokens on their waists, and a Topped with a silver crown, it is majestic.

As soon as they entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they hula divided into two columns, one column to the left and one column to the right, completely surrounding the courtyard, the lobby, and the military guards who were executing sentences in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.The execution guards naturally stopped.

Daoist Huoyun hurried out, and he looked at the guards in surprise and anticipation.

Feng Gu looked at Xu Chuan.

With a solemn expression, Xu Chuan got up and walked out of the hall.Zhou Yun also came out.

"Spirit Guard."

Xu Chuan looked at these familiar military guards, and then saw two familiar figures walking from the imperial guards.A person in a black robe beside him is tall and straight, with restrained momentum, and a person is wearing a gorgeous robe, with a handsome face and a calm demeanor.

"Master Xia!" Master Huoyun looked at the gorgeous figure and shouted out in surprise.

Peng Hao, who was lying there, vaguely sensed the cessation of punishment, and raised his eyelids weakly. He saw the lined up Imperial Guards, and also saw the figure in gorgeous robes.

Xia Jin glanced coldly at Peng Hao, nodded slightly at Master Huoyun, and stood aside.And the tall figure in black robes walked in with drooping eyelids, no one looked at him, but when he saw Xu Chuan, the corners of his mouth slightly opened, and a faint voice came through.

Xu Chuan frowned upon hearing this.

Zhou Yun hurried forward to pay respects: "Your Majesty Zhou Yun, I have met Mr. Xia and Mr. Deng."

"Lord Zhou is free of courtesy. My son is here with Eunuch Deng to announce the decree. Please Mr. Zhou, son-in-law Xu will accept the decree." Xia Jin laughed.

"Yes. The minister accepts the order." Zhou Yun immediately knelt down on one knee.

Xu Chuan looked at Eunuch Deng and was about to salute.But Eunuch Deng has already said: "Xu Concubine is a relative of the emperor, so there is no need to be formal."

Xia Jin chuckled: "Yes, Concubine Xu can just stand and listen."

When Eunuch Deng finished speaking, the imperial decree in his hand had already unfolded: "According to the order of King Qi, I think that because Huoyun Daoist is utterly loyal, his heart is on the frontier, and he is willing to use his merits as his disciples to make up for it, I will pardon Peng Hao for his innocence but death Unavoidable, the fault will not be eliminated, Master Huoyun will strictly discipline him, and he must not commit the crime again. If he commits the crime again, he will be sentenced to capital punishment and his soul will be scattered! Xu Concubine is resourceful and has made great achievements in catching the thief. encourage."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!" Master Huoyun listened.He was already kneeling on one knee, his eyes were red.

"I... amnesty? I don't have to die, don't I have to be tortured again?" Peng Hao heard that, he was only [-]-[-]% sane, and suddenly he was [-]-[-]% sober.

Xu Chuan remained motionless.

Xia Jin said with a smile: "Master Zhou, Peng Hao can be pardoned, but that ghost girl deserves to be punished. This kind of evil cultivator should be punished well. After the punishment, he will be taken to the "Nanxiamen" to be cut in half and executed, as an example to the world!"

"Your Majesty understands."

Xia Jin looked at Xu Chuan again: "Consort Xu, congratulations, I got five hundred low-grade spirit stones again."

Xu Chuan looked at him without the slightest smile on his face.

Xia Jin didn't care, and left with Taoist Huoyun and the dying Peng Hao.

After finishing his declaration, Eunuch Deng walked up to Xu Chuan.

"My son-in-law, things are in a hurry, and our family didn't have time to send a message to inform you." He whispered.

Zhou Yun and Feng Gu watched with awe. They had heard that Eunuch Deng and Xu Chuan had a very good relationship. When Xu Chuan entered the capital, Eunuch Deng went out of the city to wait in person.

Now that the decree is over, I specifically said this sentence, in front of them, a Nascent Soul cultivator is still the head of the house.It is evident how deep this relationship is.

"My father-in-law is serious."

Xu Chuan bowed his hands, he had Eunuch Deng's summoning talisman, but the latter's summoning was useless.At most, just notify him, it won't change anything. .

"Well, here are the secret five hundred low-grade spirit stones." Eunuch Deng smiled and handed a small cloth bag to Xu Chuan.

"My son-in-law is now ready..." Eunuch Deng asked in a low voice as he watched Xu Chuan collect the spirit stone.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Enter the palace and meet Emperor Qi!"

……

Xu Chuan entered the palace. This was the first time he came to the palace where Emperor Qi was in charge of government affairs. The aged Emperor Qi sat behind the case, and Xu Chuan stepped in after Eunuch Deng gave a report.

Although Emperor Qi was approaching the end of his lifespan, the majesty of the Golden Core cultivator and the emperor was still there.

"Minister Xu Chuan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, give me a seat." Emperor Qi smiled, and a small servant immediately brought a round stool.

Two options emerged in Xu Chuan's mind: "One, sit down calmly and talk frankly. Luck +50, King Qi's favorability +20. The current favorability is 60."

"Second, be straightforward. Luck -20, King Qi's favorability -30, current favorability is 60."

Xu Chuan looked at these two options, took a deep breath, his face quickly calmed down, bowed to thank him, and finally sat on the stool.

Emperor Qi looked at him, and his old eyes, which still had the might of a tiger, couldn't help showing a hint of appreciation.

Chapter 19 The Way of Kings

Emperor Qi couldn't help recalling the scene in this hall just now, Xia Jin rushed to intercede for the disciple of Master Huoyun.This son of mine is also the son who is going to be his successor, but his bearing is far worse than that of the young man in front of him.

Controlling the imperial court requires not only cultivation, wisdom, scheming, but also bearing.If you are generous enough, others will not be able to see through you, and if they cannot see through you, they will not dare to underestimate you, and will feel awe in their hearts.

Of course, if the cultivation base can reach the level of Emperor Xia, there is no need to say anything, a word can determine the life and death of the common people, and no one can stop it.But... how many Emperor Xia are there in this world?

Twenty-three thousand years ago, there was no strong man like Emperor Xia, and there has never been one in the past twenty-three thousand years. There is no one before, and no one to come!

On the road of cultivation, there are so many amazing and talented people at the beginning, but those who can really stand at the top...too few, too few.Not to mention others, but he is the majestic King Qi, acting on behalf of the heavens, and there is no shortage of spiritual stones and spiritual objects.But it is the golden elixir and real elixir realm, even Cheng Yuanying is not sure at all.

In this world, there are many things that are easy to do, but it is too difficult to be unique.Talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

One person enjoys a lifespan of more than 3000 years and possesses monstrous strength, which is too terrifying.

Emperor Qi looked at Xu Chuan with erratic eyes, thinking of a lot, most of them were Emperor Xia and Xia Jin, Emperor Xia made him awe, and that was the only thing he was in awe of.And Xia Jin...

He likes Xia Jin's talent and quick-wittedness, but he doesn't like Xia Jin's indifference and ruthlessness. Humans are animals with feelings, whether they are strong or weak... they all pay attention to family affection, friendship and even love. Because of affection, the strong will Protect the weak, pass the torch from generation to generation, and become more prosperous.This is a world of emotional connection, too ruthless, using everything and leaving everything behind, Emperor Qi disagrees.

But Xia Jin has courage, ambition, dare to speak and do, this is another advantage of an emperor, not only the advantage of an emperor, but also the advantage of a competent leader of King Qi.

Who doesn't have some flaws?

Emperor Qi restrained his mind, looked at Xu Chuan, said with a smile on his old face, "Mr. It’s too late to teach those little ones, Concubine Xu’s affairs are done very well this time, I heard that Concubine Xu got the news early and asked Qin Zuo and Li Dong to wait outside Huoyun Mansion in advance? Wonderful, very wonderful.”

Xu Chuan took a deep breath.Just about to speak.

hum.

Two more options emerged in his mind: "One, sigh and be silent. Luck +20."

"Second, tell your own opinion, Luck -30, Emperor Qi Favorability -10."

Xu Chuan glanced at the two options, and then swallowed the words again, only sighing softly.

Emperor Qi praised Xu Chuan for opening a conversation, and then watched how Xu Chuan responded. Was it a question?Is it an argument?There is none of the latter, only a sigh, but this sigh seems to contain a lot of things, disappointment?Lost?

Many people in the world are afraid of being disappointed by others. Children are afraid that their parents will be disappointed with them. Students are afraid that their teachers will be disappointed.The people of the world?A courtier in the court?

Many people are alive and struggling just because they want others to recognize themselves?

Emperor Qi is getting old, and the older he is, the more he cares about what others think of him, especially the son-in-law of Princess Miaoyin in front of him. To become a stronger person, at that time, he didn't want this strong person to ever be disappointed in himself as an emperor.

So Xu Chuan sighed, and without opening his mouth, Emperor Qi couldn't help explaining himself: "Do you think I should investigate the real Huoyun again? Even if the real Huoyun knew about the ghost girl, but with his cultivation strength and With the status of a military guard, Yin Gui Nu can't help him with anything, so even if Master Huoyun knows, it's just that he knows, who his disciples associate with, a master can't ask everything, right?"

Immortal Huoyun can't have an accident. The two Nascent Soul cultivators, Emperor Junwei, General Lu and Immortal Huoyun are all supporters of Emperor Qi's lineage. It is impossible for Emperor Qi to touch Immortal Huoyun.

Of course Xu Chuan understood this, what he wanted to talk about was Peng Hao, and he was about to speak again...

This time no trial option came up.

Then he said, "Then Peng Hao."

"Peng Hao...an ant, just a bug." Emperor Qi smiled.Peng Hao is such a person, such a thing, is he worthy of mentioning it?Also worthy of appearing in front of him?

Xu Chuan said: "Your Majesty pardoned him just like that? In the capital, I don't know how many expectant mothers died because of him, causing anger and resentment. If he doesn't die, the people's grievances will not be eliminated."

"Public grievances can't be eliminated? Not necessarily, Peng Hao was just being used by others as an accomplice, and the culprit is that ghost girl." King Qi said.

After the words fell, before Xu Chuan could refute, King Qi himself let out a deep breath.He looked up at the exquisite decoration on the top of the hall, painted and carved, and said slowly: "Is this reason convincing?"

His words seemed to be asking Xu Chuan, but also seemed to be asking himself.

Xu Chuan was taken aback, looking at Emperor Qi.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel a trace of helplessness in this aging old man.But Xu Chuan was still very firm and said: "Being a minion for a tiger, the accomplice is even more hateful, heinous, Peng Hao should be killed! If you don't kill, it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Emperor Qi withdrew his eyes from the top of the palace, his eyes were calm, he looked at Xu Chuan, and said slowly: "Xu Concubine is right, the accomplice is more hateful and should be killed, and I also like happy revenge, just such a bedbug It's just an ant, if you crush it to death, it will be crushed to death, it would be great to give justice to the victims, and the innocence of the world, but I can't do it. Just because he is just a bug, an ant, his life has no effect But if he died, it would affect more."

"Your Majesty is talking about Master Huoyun?" Xu Chuan frowned.

Emperor Qi smiled lightly: "People have desires and weaknesses. Because they have desires, they are greedy. They want to get what they can't get, and want to get more when they get it. The imperial court governs the world, manages the people of the world, and cultivates People are no exception, and power has become another pursuit of cultivators besides strength. With power, the weak can protect themselves and their loved ones, have beautiful women, have enough resources for cultivation, and have many people attached to you and working hard for you .I have given them power, and they will sacrifice their lives for me. Of course, I will protect them. Some small things can get a loyal heart, why not do it?"

Xu Chuan was stunned, he thought that his eloquence was not bad, but today he was so shocked by a word from the old emperor that he was speechless.

Emperor Qi's words are too realistic. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even a saint has desires.Desire is not purely a derogatory term. Wanting to be powerful is a kind of desire. Wanting to stay with the one you love is a kind of desire. Desire is what makes the people go from naked clothes to gorgeous clothes and beautiful decorations, a bunch of horses and horses, from simple tea and light meals to delicious delicacies, and rich food and clothing!

It can be said that desire is the biggest driving force for a person and a nation to move forward!If it is true that everyone has no desires, does not eat the fireworks of the world, and is in a daze, then what is the difference between a living being and a pig or a dog?Without desire, if you stand still, you will sooner or later be devoured by life with more desire!Eliminated by the world!

"That's one thing, and one more thing, Xu Chuan, if I tell you that I want you to work for me, will you be willing?" Emperor Qi smiled.

Eunuch Deng raised his drooping eyelids.

Xu Chuan got up quickly, his thoughts turned, and he was about to speak, but Emperor Qi waved his hand and said: "You are Princess Miaoyin's son-in-law, a relative of the emperor, and you only need to obey the emperor's order. You don't need to work for me, because I can't give you more."

"But Master Huoyun is different. Everything he has is given by me. If such a thing happened to me when I was young, I would be furious and kill Peng Hao on the spot, making Master Huoyun terrified. But my old man Yes, Jin'er is the future King Qi, and his favor, Master Huoyun has recorded, this is the reason why Master Huoyun wants to work hard for Jin'er, isn't it?" Emperor Qi laughed.

Xu Chuan was silent.

He understands, of course he understands, he is a bad face and gave Huoyun a stick, Xia Jin is a good face and gave a sweet date.Speaking of which, Xia Jin should also thank Xu Chuan for giving Master Huoyun such an opportunity to be grateful to him.

This is the emperor?

"Xu Chuan, you have done a good job. The laws of the court are unbreakable. Cultivators gather under the court. If there is no restraint, they will become a wild horse. It is precisely because of the restraint of the law that this wild horse Only then can he be tamed and put on the right track. Do you understand?" Emperor Qi looked at him with a smile.

It is also a great ability to use the law in place.

"Yes." Xu Chuan nodded.

Emperor Qi smiled. It is very rare for him to talk and explain so much to Xu Chuan today, which shows his love for Xu Chuan.The future belongs to these young people after all.

"Okay, you go, I'm a little tired, remember to say hello to Princess Miaoyin on my behalf." Emperor Qi waved his hand.

Xu Chuan bowed and saluted.

But he didn't get up, but lowered his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is right, Xu Chuan doesn't understand the way of the emperor. Xu Chuan has been a magistrate and a magistrate, and now he is appreciated by His Majesty, which makes Xu Chuan feel so young at such a young age." To achieve the position of Inspector and Grand Censor, among the nine ministers, to supervise all the officials, Xu Chuan can't see what His Majesty sees, what Xu Chuan sees is the law and justice! Today His Majesty spoke to Xu Chuan from the heart, Chuan listened to it, and Xu Chuan also had a heartfelt message, would His Majesty be willing to listen to it?"

Eunuch Deng looked at Xu Chuan, and Emperor Qi looked over with a smile on his face. He remembered the story Xu Chuan told him last time, and the expressions of those princes made him very happy for a few days.He liked talking to Xu Chuan very much, and nodded with a smile, "Talk!"

Without raising his head, Xu Chuan said loudly: "My Great Xia court ruled the nineteen prefectures in the world, commanded the world, and protected all peoples. The monsters are watching from outside, and the evil cultivators will harm the country and the people. Have I ever been afraid of Great Xia? Has Emperor Xia ever been afraid? Yes? Your Majesty occupies a high position, acts on behalf of the heavens, and is the lord of the court. He looks down on everything, but unfortunately, he only sees his own lineage and mu, and the bottles and jars in the house. , as a Jindan cultivator himself, before his lifespan arrives, before the catastrophe is over, he has no vigor to consider for future generations, to be honest, I feel uneasy for His Majesty."

"My human race, the integrity is not lost, the fire is not extinguished, and the struggle is not stopped! This is the prosperity and prosperity so far. The law can restrain the practitioners, but the law is an exception today, and it will be relaxed tomorrow. Over time, what deterrence is there? The minister is uneasy, It’s not because of the Great Xia’s uneasiness. The Xia Dynasty had the Emperor Xia, and there was a pillar supporting the sky and a stone that stabilized the sea. However, if His Majesty’s lineage cannot even determine the laws of the Emperor Xia, the majesty of the court will be gone. Today, His Majesty’s majesty is still there. What about another day?"

Emperor Qi stood up from behind the golden case, his whole body seemed to be trembling, his chest heaved, his true energy was powerful, and a pair of tiger eyes radiated a frightening light.

Eunuch Deng's expression also changed, he looked at Xu Chuan in surprise, and even stepped forward nervously, for fear that Emperor Qi could not bear the anger and attack Xu Chuan.

"Minister, leave."

However, Xu Chuan didn't realize it, he didn't even raise his head, and slowly exited the hall, until Xu Chuan exited the hall, Emperor Qi was still there with his chest heaving and heaving, unable to calm down for a long time.

After a long while, he sat down and finished the case, staring blankly at the long case in front of him.

"Zhen... have all my vigor gone?" He took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "No! I am Emperor Qi, if I survive the catastrophe, become a Nascent Soul, and have a greatly increased lifespan, who can do that?" Let me lose my spirit?!"

"The military and guards of the imperial court are all for my use. My kindness is kindness and affection, and my strictness is the strict rule of law. Why should I be afraid of others?"

As he spoke, his temperament was obviously different.Xu Chuan's words are still useful.

The servants shivered like quails in shock.

Eunuch Deng was calm, just thinking about what Xu Chuan said earlier, a special look flashed in his eyes.

……

"Emperor Qi favorability -80. The current favorability is 0."

"Emperor Qi favorability +90. The current favorability is 90."

Xu Chuan exited the golden palace, and took a deep breath as two favorability reminders appeared in his mind.

There was no option prompt for the words just now, but he really couldn't vomit.Of course, Xu Chuan felt in his heart that Emperor Qi had the potential to be a good emperor, and the latter also made it very clear that he was not young anymore, he was old, and he was going to pave the way for Xia Jin, so his heart softened.
