Inverse harem male supporting bending system
Chapter 68
"I'll go, Xiaoqing, have you come to help us?" Li Jian asked happily - with God's help, the situation is obviously much easier to control.
Qingque fluttered its wings, "I can't help too obviously, this is against the rules of the God Realm. So I just sent my avatar/body over to take a look."
"You...couldn't have been a blue sparrow at first, right?" Li Jian asked, "It's pretty cute."
"Fuck you. If you want to praise me for being beautiful and handsome, how can you use cute?" Xiaoqing sighed, "In other words, I am also making up for it—"
"Make up for what?" Li Jian asked.
"I...hey, maybe I've made thousands of mistakes, and it's all my fault." Xiaoqing sighed again, fluttered her wings, and seemed to want to fly away.
"What happened to Fuji?" Li Jian frowned, "Did you come here because you noticed her presence?"
"Yes." Xiaoqing nodded, "The astrolabe shows... There are big variables. But even I can't find out everything for the time being. Li Jian, for many things, I can only click to the end. God Realm has God Realm order."
"I understand. Thank you. Then I will go to this banquet." Li Jian said.
"Yeah. I'll go first." The blue bird fluttered its wings.
Spirit world.
Hua Qingshu sighed, then smiled again. ——At that time, he really thought that sending Li Jian away from the God Realm would be the last time he saw Li Jian, but unexpectedly...
Huaqingshu walked to Wuya Mountain and looked at the astrolabe in the center of the galaxy.He squinted his eyes - the astrolabe determines the fate of everyone in the human world.Then... who will decide the fate of the gods?
Two days later, Huang Xuelin Huang Mansion.
When Li Jian arrived, he found that Qian Youqing was also there.Come to think of it, it was Li Jian recommended by Qian Youqing to Huang Xuelin.
There are beauties in pink dancing in the hall, and white jade lamps on the table.What was placed in the white jade cup was grape wine, and the purple wine looked extremely attractive in the crystal clear white jade cup.
The singing and dancing are peaceful, and the lanterns are like the day.
Li Jian couldn't help thinking—tsk, it really is Mr. Huang who can do such a thing as recruiting a male favorite for Qi Xiu, he really knows how to enjoy life.
After Li Jian was seated, a lady in pink brought a jug and poured a glass of wine for Li Jian.The beauty raised her eyes and looked at Li Jian for a few more times. She only felt that this person had beautiful features, but was not feminine. He obviously had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which was very attractive, but he also had a sense of immortality about him. Added a sense of abstinence, really... so joyful.
The beauty was a little stunned, and she wished she could immediately say to Master Huang: "My lord, give me to this handsome gentleman!"
But Jiaren was soon dumbfounded.Because Master Huang got up and bowed to Li Jian, and said: "Don't ask if the immortal can come, the fluffy grass will shine. How is your majesty these days?"
Belle's heart is broken—what?Is he the Immortal Venerable Bu Wen whom His Majesty loves so much?Such a handsome man actually likes a man?And, is he still a member of His Majesty?
The beauty let out a long sigh, she was not distracted enough to help Li Jian pour the wine, and left angrily.
Since Li Jian didn't pay much attention to any beauties, she slightly bowed her hands to Master Huang. "Your Majesty is fine. Please sit down, Your Excellency."
"Excuse me, Immortal. I just received a message from the boy from the richest man's family. He was involved in an urgent matter, so it was a little late." Huang Xuelin said.Huang Xuelin was actually a little nervous, after all, he didn't understand Li Jian's personality.He was afraid that if Li Jian got angry, it would be bad for him if he whispered to His Majesty.
Unexpectedly, Li Jian is easy to speak.Li Jian raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass. "It's all right. But I'm curious, who is this?"
Li Jian thought to himself, how dare the richest man let two important ministers and a "male favorite" who is said to be the emperor sleep with him every night to wait for him? Simple.
Just in time, while he is away, you can inquire about his situation with the two ministers.
After hearing Li Jian's words, Qian Youqing said, "This person is called Lin Zhao. His family originally had some wealth. About four years ago, he became the head of the family, and then spent four years becoming the richest man in Guangguo. It is said that Ah, he can accurately predict which year the grain will be harvested and which year will be reduced, and it is accurate to each grain."
After hearing this, Huang Xuelin made some additions. "Not only food, but also all kinds of goods. He can count when the price increases and when the price drops. His family is not weak at all, and he has doubled it several times. No, Cheng Guangguo is the richest gone."
When Li Jian heard this, he also understood—so, he knew when to stock up and when to sell, and he could control the price of the entire market.
Amazing, if modern people have the ability to speculate in stocks and futures, they will surpass Buffett in minutes and become the richest man in the world.
— But how did this person calculate it?
The most powerful fortune teller Li Jian has seen so far is the old man Bai that Chong'er found.After Bai Ze, he is still a powerful monster.But even he can only look at cause and effect, it is impossible to see such details.Next, a powerful Taoist priest such as Fu An can calculate the life span of a person, what kind of troubles he may encounter in which year, and see whether the road ahead for this person will be smooth or bumpy.But it was impossible for him to see such details.
Li Jian is really curious about what kind of person this richest man, Lin Zhao, is.
After a while, Lin Zhao came.
This person was younger than Li Jian imagined, and he came by carriage.There were a bunch of beauties around the carriage, and they accompanied the carriage to the gate of the Huang Mansion while spreading flowers.
The carriage stopped behind the gate of Huangfu.It seemed that Lin Zhao was afraid that the ground would be too dirty, so a bunch of beauties took out a blanket and helped him spread it all the way to the banquet hall.
Lin Zhao got off the carriage and stepped on the carpet, and then the bunch of beauties sprinkled a lot of fragrant flowers on the carpet, and he was willing to walk into the main hall with these flowers.
That's not all, he brought his own wine glasses, cutlery, and even a chair.Those people put all these utensils for him one by one before he was willing to serve.Of course, the table in front of him was also covered with a layer of luxurious brocade.
Seeing this, the faces of Qian Youqing and Huang Xuelin turned green.
Li Jian had fun watching it—tsk, this guy is so flamboyant.My family, Qi Xiugui, is a holy emperor, and he didn't see anything like this.
Lin Zhao looked at the eyes of everyone and smiled. "Don't mind me, everyone. I like to be clean. I have bad lungs since I was a child. If there is a little dust, I will cough. It's a joke."
"It's okay, it's okay." Huang Xuelin was not very happy, but he had to smooth things over.
"Hehe." Lin Zhao smiled, and seemed to see Li Jian's indifferent expression, and said, "I've seen the immortal. The immortal has a poor cultivation base, so I must have never seen such a ostentation. If you have my disease Ah, don't know what to do, do you?"
Lin Zhao's words were quite contemptuous.Thinking about it, he had made Li Jian into a poor and poor person. ——He has no money and no power, so what if he cultivates the immortal method, he still wants to be the male favorite of the Holy Emperor.
"You mean laying the carpet before walking? I don't need to walk. I rely on flying." Li Jian was not angry, and just poured a glass of wine.He thought that since he returned to this world and considered being with Qi Xiu, he had thought about all the criticisms he might face.
Besides, just like reading that forbidden book, people talking about him and Qi Xiu now are just adding some talk to their boring lives, and no one cares about the truth.So Li Jian felt that there was no need to clarify, as long as he and Qi Xiu had a good life.
After hearing this, Lin Zhao didn't continue to say anything, but only looked at Li Jian a few more times.
The more Li Jian looked at Lin Zhao, the more strange he felt.He's just a businessman, no matter how capable he is, he wouldn't be so arrogant in front of important court officials.Even if money can turn ghosts around, it's better to live with face.Otherwise, if he pissed off someone at that time, it would be good enough for him to put some checkpoints on taxation, or official roads, or freight routes.
Lin Zhao didn't stay for long, but he declined and said he wanted to leave.He coughed a few times and said that he had to go home. He would hold a banquet at the mansion another day to make amends to the two ministers.
If so, Lin Zhao left.
Huang Xuelin looked embarrassed, and Qian Youqing's expression became more and more unsightly.Li Jian actually laughed, anyway, he always looked like he was watching a play from the beginning to the end.But he knew that since Xiaoqing said that this trip would definitely yield something, then it must be—what's the story about Lin Zhao?Do you want to visit the Lin Mansion at night?
After seeing Lin Zhao off, Huang Xuelin looked at Li Jian very apologetically. "Xianzun, it is true that we did not handle this well. This... not only did the matter go wrong, but it also neglected you..."
Huang Xuelin was really distressed.Come on, Li Jian definitely doesn't like women, no matter how many girls he finds to dance, he probably won't be interested.This is because he has a special relationship with the Holy Emperor, and it is even more impossible to find a young man to serve him.How to appease Li Jian is really difficult.
"My lord, don't take it to heart. You are doing this for the sake of the country. Maybe one day the war will start again. It is right to think about ways to fill the treasury in advance. Your Majesty will see your hard work. When Li Jian said this, she got up, "I won't delay any longer, I'll go first."
If so, Li Jianjian bid farewell.
Li Jian planned to leave the Huangfu, and simply go to a tavern or something like that, and wait until nightfall to visit Lin Zhao's residence.
Unexpectedly, just as Li Jian walked out of the Huangfu, he saw a young servant running in front of Li Jian. "Don't you want to ask Xianzun? My master asked me to deliver a message for him."
"Oh? Who is your master?" Li Jian asked.
"It's the one you just met, Lin Zhao." The little servant said, "My master said that he didn't mean to be rude just now, and he just wanted to attract the attention of the immortal."
Li Jian: "..."
"The master said that he felt sorry for the birth of the immortal, and felt that you looked really poor in terms of food and clothing. It seems that the emperor treated you badly. The master said, you can follow him. He will give you money."
"Oh, what else did he say?" Li Jian raised an eyebrow.
"The master said, if you are willing, he will meet you at the Lin mansion tonight." The young man said, "How about it, are you willing to go?"
Li Jian readily agreed. "Okay, I'll go."
The little servant bowed and left.Li Jian frowned, thinking - of course I will go, I will teach your master how to be a human being.
Naturally, Li Jian would not feel that she was fell in love with at first sight.Most of Lin Zhao still thinks that he is a so-called "male favorite", and he really thinks that he is poor, so he invites him with money.
This Lin Zhao didn't pay attention to the court officials at all, and his attitude towards himself was ambiguous and strange, and there was indeed a problem.
Li Jian didn't wait until night, and immediately followed the young man with the magic of stealth, and came to Lin's house in an instant.
Speaking of it, this Lin's house doesn't look too big, and the courtyard and rooms are similar to other mansions, which are somewhat different from what Li Jian imagined.
Thinking of the ostentation Lin Zhao went to the Huangfu just now, Li Jian thought his house would be particularly luxurious.
Li Jian Yujian, relying on the divine breath technique, no one could see him, he turned around, but didn't see Lin Zhao for a while.
But Li Jian soon saw a familiar person——Xiao Dong.However, it seemed that Xiao Dong had just finished talking with the people in the Lin residence, walked to the yard, and Yu Jian left.
Therefore, Li Jian had no way of knowing what Xiao Dong's purpose in coming to the Lin residence was.
A while ago, when Li Jian was in Lincheng, it was this Xiao Dong who found him and asked him to join the "Anti-Qi Alliance".It was also after Xiao Dong and Li Jian went to Liu Taishou's house that he knew that Liu Taishou was the leader of the "Anti-Qi Alliance".
But after Liu Taishou was taken away by Qi Xiu, the result of the interrogation has not yet come out, and it is impossible to know who is behind his puppet leader.And this Xiao Dong has also disappeared since then, even the hidden guards of Xuanjue Pavilion failed to catch him.
——This time, Xiao Dong unexpectedly appeared in the Lin residence.Could it be that Lin Zhao is related to the Anti-Qi alliance?
That's right, since he has decided to oppose Qi and Guangguo, what is he doing to curry favor with the ministers?
If the richest man in Guangguo provided financial support for this anti-Qi alliance, then he might be the real mastermind behind it, at least one of the masterminds.The anti-Qi alliance did not disintegrate with Liu Taishou's arrest, but continued to operate in secret.
But if Lin Zhao is really the mastermind, how dare he lure himself here and discover all this?
Li Jian frowned, finally got up with the sword, and left the Lin residence temporarily.
Until Youshi, Li Jian didn't use the divine concealment technique anymore, but went directly to Lin's mansion with his sword.
Lin Zhao hosted a banquet in the courtyard.It seems that he really likes flowers, and the garden is full of all kinds of flowers.There are many small dishes and tea on the stone table, and even the tea has flower petals floating in it.
Li Jian Yujian went down, but it didn't land, but just floated on the ground, and asked, "Lin Zhao, you asked me to come?"
Lin Zhao, who was sitting in the gazebo, stiffened his back, then stood up, and turned to look at Li Jian.
The smile on Lin Zhao's face did not seem to be fake, he was really smiling happily, and he had a completely different face from today in Huang's Mansion.
In Lin Zhao's eyes, Li Jian came here on the moon, really like a fairy.Lin Zhao immediately ran towards him, but he didn't wait for him to get close to Li Jian, only to see Li Jian's hands concentrating on the spell, and countless swords appeared in front of Lin Zhao immediately.
Lin Zhao was startled, stopped in a hurry, and fell to the ground, ate a mouthful of mud, and was very embarrassed.
Li Jian raised her eyebrows. "Have you met? Mr. Lin, the gap between us is not between the rich and the poor, but the gap in strength. Besides, I am not poor."
"I really didn't do that on purpose today. I just feel that if I don't exaggerate a little, you won't come to my place." Lin Zhao got up from the ground, not angry, but explained to Li Jian seriously, " That day, the Immortal Venerable confronted the Holy Emperor face to face in Lin City, and I saw everything there."
Li Jian didn't expect this, so she just asked him: "So?"
"I am really impressed by the demeanor of the Immortal Venerable. But I don't understand why the Immortal Venerable is willing to be his male favorite when he is clearly able to compete with the Holy Emperor? It can only be because he is short of money." Lin Zhao said.
I have a go.What the hell is Lin Zhao's brain circuit?Is this the IQ of a business wizard?
Li Jian raised his forehead, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I've been upset with the Holy Emperor for a long time." Lin Zhao said, "Recently, people from the Anti-Qi Alliance also contacted me. We plan to fight against the Holy Emperor! Immortal Venerable, I can see what you did in Lincheng Li. I believe that you are definitely not a person who helps the evil! You are willing to stay with the Holy Emperor, if it is not for money, do you want to assassinate him?"
At that moment, Li Jian's mood was - if he was a member of the anti-Qi alliance, he would be too hot to meet a teammate like Lin Zhao.
In an instant, Li Jian thought, if Lin Zhao was telling the truth, then Lin Zhao was not the mastermind of the Anti-Qi Alliance, but was just approached by them?
Li Jian narrowed his eyes, didn't answer his words, but landed on the ground, retracted his solitary sword, walked towards the gazebo, sat down, and looked at Lin Zhao: "Did someone from Xiao Dong come to you?"
"That's right. He has been here several times, and I met him today. I promised to provide silver to their alliance." Lin Zhao came over and sat down, "Xianzun, do you know Xiao Dong?"
"Yes. He looked for me." Li Jian replied, "Let me join the Anti-Qi Alliance."
"Then do you agree?" Lin Zhao asked expectantly.
"I said... you are not afraid that I will have the same heart with the Holy Emperor? After you finish these words to me, I can kill you immediately, and then the Holy Emperor will confiscate the Lin family's house. So what if you have a lot of money? You are a mortal after all." Li Jane raised her eyebrows.
Lin Zhao only said: "Not afraid. First, I trust you. You have the smell and breath of God on your body, which is the same as my family's heirloom. You are definitely a good person, and my intuition has always been accurate. Second, I am not afraid of the Holy Emperor." Kill me. How many good people and good deeds have I done these years? The people in the entire Lanque City know that I am a great good person. If the Holy Emperor kills me, then I will die well, because everyone will know that the Holy Emperor is a scum, and the anti-Qi alliance It will grow further. Third, my family has heirlooms that can protect me. I am not afraid."
"The Holy Emperor is not a scum." Li Jian frowned, and finally helped Qi Xiu argue, and then asked, "What is the heirloom you are talking about?"
"Then I can't tell you easily. Unless you agree to join the Anti-Qi Alliance." Lin Zhao said.
"Can I ask you first, why don't you like the Holy Emperor?" Li Jian frowned, and finally asked Lin Zhao that.
Imperial Palace, Yangming Palace.
Qi Xiu is still reviewing the memorial.The agarwood incense was lit, and when he smelled it, his fatigue seemed to be relieved.
Liu Hua entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Huang asked to see him and said he has something to report to you."
"Master Huang?" Qi Xiu put down the pen in his hand and looked at Liu Hua, "Didn't he have a banquet at home? He went without asking the immortal."
Having said that, Qi Xiu frowned, "Let him in."
In the end, he had to bear his temper and listened to Huang Xuelin finish talking.Huang Xuelin is in charge of the sacrifice of the Ministry of Rites, and he is reporting the matter of worshiping the gods in Beishan this winter.
Qi Xiu nodded upon hearing this. "I see, it's basically the same as last year. No... reduce the cost. What's the use of worshiping God? Has God saved you?"
"Hey, it's you, the Holy Emperor, who saved us!" Huang Xuelin flattered, "Your Majesty means...can you cancel it?"
"It can't be cancelled. The people need a sense of faith and security. But everything can be kept simple. Otherwise, it will be a waste of people and money. The budget will be cut in half." Qi Xiu gave instructions and said, "Aren't you hosting a banquet? Don't ask the immortals ?”
"Uh...the Immortal has already left." Huang Xuelin's heart skipped a beat, "He...hasn't come back yet?"
Qi Xiu got up. "Do you know where he went?"
"Oh, I heard from the servant that the young man from the Lin residence has been wandering in front of my mansion. Don't ask the immortal...whether he was invited to the Lin residence? But...it shouldn't be, Lin Zhao. , at the banquet, he spoke rudely to Buwen Xianzun. Hey, then the Xianzun should be angry with him, why would he go to his house..." Huang Xuelin thought for a while, and said.
"Lin Zhao? Is that the so-called No. [-] wealthy businessman in Guangguo?" Qi Xiu frowned even tighter, "How did he speak so rudely?"
Arriving here, Huang Xuelin was already a little nervous.He had heard that the Holy Emperor was very fond of the Immortal Venerable, but he did not expect to be so favored.But Huang Xuelin was nervous, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
After Huang Xuelin said this, Qi Xiu didn't speak for a long time. He rested his elbows on the table and propped his forehead with his palms. He lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. He fell into a long silence, and his expression looked a little blame yourself.
Seeing this, Huang Xuelin and Liu Hua on the side didn't dare to make a sound.
After a while, Qi Xiu raised his head, looked at Huang Xuelin again, and asked, "Then why do you think Lin Zhao said that?"
"This..." Huang Xuelin broke out in cold sweat on his back.
Qi Xiu said: "Tell the truth. Forgive your innocence."
"Cough...yes..." Huang Xuelin had to say, "I guess, Lin Zhao probably looked down on the immortal, thinking that he was like those male pets... because he betrayed his masculinity... it harmed a man's dignity...so he made a statement Sarcasm a bit."
Speaking of this, Huang Xuelin didn't dare to continue, but Qi Xiu naturally understood what he meant.
Qi Xiu looked at him. "You can guess what he thinks, so do you think so too?"
At this point, Huang Xuelin knelt down, as if he dared not answer.
"As I said, I forgive you for your innocence." Qi Xiu said again.
"Yes..." Huang Xuelin sighed, and said again, "Chen... I did have this kind of thought at the beginning. However, Mr. Qian mentioned the demeanor and talent of the immortal, so I can meet and talk with him today , has completely changed. Immortal Venerable, he...he..."
Huang Xuelin thought for a while, and seemed to be looking for an adjective.He didn't dare to praise too much, lest Qi Xiu think that he had some unreasonable thoughts about not asking the immortal, so that he would be miserable.But he can't help but boast.So it's a little difficult to control.
"He's very nice, isn't he." Qi Xiu took Huang Xuelin's words, and then said in a tone that sounded a little self-blaming, "It's because I neglected this and wronged him..."
Huang Xuelin bowed his head and didn't dare to answer, but he was a little moved in his heart. — Tsk, the Holy Emperor is actually such a loving person.
"If I make him a male queen, so what?" Qi Xiu asked, "Let him be justified, and correct the people in the world's view of him."
"This...it seems that there is no precedent for this. I...go back and check..." Huang Xuelin was a little surprised.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need anything, just tell me." Qi Xiu said.
Huang Xuelin heard this, thought for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, what I said today...are you innocent?"
Qi Xiu raised his eyebrows. "What else do you want to say?"
"The minister is in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette, and the ceremony...is easy to say. It's just...it's just about the issue of the succession of the country...I don't know if the rest of the ministers will agree..." Huang Xuelin said bravely.
"I don't need their consent." Qi Xiu said, "Thinking back in the past, the three emperors of Yao, Shun and Yu were inherited by different surnames. In the future, I will hand over the country to someone worthy of entrustment. What's wrong with you? A capable person. Even if I marry a woman, if I give birth to a waste, or a person with worrisome virtue, and let the country be buried in his hands, will you be satisfied?"
Huang Xuelin didn't dare to say any more, and said hastily: "Yes, I'm talking too much."
"It's okay. Let's go down." Qi Xiu sighed softly.
After Huang Xuelin left, Qi Xiu thought about it, but he was still worried, so he stepped out with his sword and went to Lin's house, wanting to see Li Jian.
Qi Xiu used breath-holding techniques to enter the Lin residence. He descended with his sword and landed on an eaves. Not far ahead was the gazebo where Li Jian and Lin Zhao had a conversation.
Qi Xiu continued to shrink his figure, and heard Li Jian ask: "Can I ask you first, why don't you like the Holy Emperor?"
Lin Zhao naturally complained a lot, coming and going, similar to what Xiao Dong said.
"That's all?" Li Jian asked him, with scrutiny in his eyes.
Lin Zhao thought for a while, and finally said: "There is also my father. He accidentally got involved in a case and was ordered to be executed by him. My father was wronged to death by him. This kind of emperor... I hate. Immortal, you just Join the Anti-Zi League. And—”
Hearing this, Qi Xiu on the roof tightened his heart.He frowned and cast the spell again to confirm that Li Jian hadn't noticed his arrival.For some reason, he really wanted to hear how Li Jian would answer. ——Does he believe in himself?
"Besides, to be honest, after I met Xianzun in Lincheng, I can't forget you. The Lin family has a great career, and you can do whatever you want. Xianzun, the Holy Emperor treats you so badly, why don't you just follow me?" I'll let it go."
Li Jian: "..."
On the eaves, Qi Xiu's mood has become nervous and angry.
Li Jian just thought it was a little funny. "Looking at you, you're only in your early twenties?"
"Hmm..." Lin Zhao nodded.
"Where did you know that he treated me badly?" Li Jian rubbed his nose, "You people have really strong brain skills."
"What is brain supplement?" Lin Zhao frowned.
"It's nothing." Li Jian said, "I'm answering your question just now. I stayed with the Holy Emperor not because of his money, let alone to assassinate him. I stayed with him because I like him."
On the eaves, Qi Xiu smiled.He thought about rushing over to hug his master just like that.But in a blink of an eye, he was afraid that he would be angry if he knew that he had come to eavesdrop, so he had to hold back.
But no matter what, Qi Xiu felt that he finally heard Li Jian say this.He waited for more than 100 years.
"How is that possible? When you were in Lincheng, you all got into a fight. Besides, you seemed very angry with him at the time." Lin Zhao frowned, "What's more, he's that kind of person..."
"I have dealt with many government affairs with him these days. He is definitely not the kind of person you think. I promise you, I will check your father's matter for you to see the truth of the matter. But the Anti-Qi Alliance I I will not join. I advise you to withdraw as soon as possible. Because the Anti-Qi Alliance has something to do with the Xihua Demon Clan. They are just using you." Li Jian said, "So, can you tell me what your family heirloom is? ?”
"Really? Xihua Demon Clan?" Lin Zhao was shocked.
"Stupid boy." Li Jian said with a look of resentment, "The Holy Emperor defeated them. They only poured dirty water on the Holy Emperor in order to make the world kill each other."
Speaking of this, Li Jian couldn't help sighing seeing Lin Zhao's appearance that he was almost convinced by him—this person is so easy to be persuaded, maybe one day Xiao Dong will come to lobby and he will believe Xiao Dong again.
Lin Zhao thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you really going to help me find out about my father?"
"Naturally." Li Jian nodded.
"Okay, let me tell you. My heirloom is an ancient artifact called the Earth Ring." Lin Zhao said.
"What?" Li Jian raised his forehead, "You really aren't afraid that I'm a villain, so you just told me that."
"Four years ago, my mother died, and she gave it to me before she died. I dare say, it is because you will never find it except me." Lin Zhao said so, and found that the tea was gone, Then he called out, "Xiaofang, come and make some tea!"
After a while, a little maid came over.
Li Jian lowered his eyes and took a casual bite of food, so he didn't pay attention to Xiaofang's appearance.It wasn't until Xiaofang came to Lin Zhao's side that Li Jian felt something was wrong. ——Murderous.
In an instant, Xiaofang stabbed Lin Zhao with a dagger.
Li Jian looked up and recognized her.This person is not Xiaofang, but Guixiang possessed by Fuji.
Li Jian didn't think much, and waved directly to give "Gui Xiang" a slap.
"Cinnamon" vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Then Li Jian heard Fuji's voice. "Hahahaha... Majestic Immortal Venerable, kill an innocent civilian! Tsk, how does it feel? Hahahaha..."
Shocked, Li Jian went to Gui Xiang's body to investigate, and then realized horribly—this time, Gui Xiang was only controlled by Fu Ji, but she was not really possessed.
Gui Xiang is just an ordinary person without the slightest cultivation, so naturally she couldn't bear her own palm.
——I actually killed an ordinary person.
At that moment, Li Jian couldn't help trembling with the arm stretched out to feel Guixiang's pulse.
He was not born in this world of fighting and killing. After all, he has received modern education and knows that murder is a crime and a great crime since he was a child.In this world, although he has killed people or monsters, but basically he would die if he didn't kill the other party, not to mention, he has never fought with ordinary people.
But right now, he actually killed an unarmed girl.
Li Jian is really too guilty and remorseful.
On the side, Lin Zhao stepped forward immediately. "What was that sound just now? Is it Xihua Demon? Immortal...you...what's wrong with you? You don't need to blame yourself. You are here to save me. I saw it all. You didn't mean it either."
Before Lin Zhao finished speaking, someone had already descended from the sky, pulled Li Jian up, hugged him into his arms, and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm late. Don't be afraid."
"You...what do you call him?" Lin Zhao looked at Qi Xiu in shock.
Qi Xiu flicked his sleeves, looked at him coldly, and finally condensed his hand to form a sound-transmitting butterfly, saying: "The hidden guards of Xuanjue Pavilion obey the order, come to Lin Zhao's mansion as soon as possible, and protect Lin Zhao. If necessary, bring He returns to the imperial palace!"
After finishing speaking, Qi Xiu stepped on his sword and took Li Jian away.
Lin Zhao froze in place even more shocked—is this man the Holy Emperor?But... Should he call the Immortal Venerable "Master"?
——No, I have read about the matter of the Holy Emperor and his master from forbidden books.Don't ask the immortal...it's actually Li Jian, the big devil who committed countless murders? ? !
Imperial Palace, Chuliu Palace.
Li Jian had recovered his calm, but he sat on the bed with his brows frowned, without saying a word.Qi Xiu saw that appearance, and his heart ached.
Qi Xiu thought for a while, brought the wine over, "Master, if you are unhappy, how about I drink with you?"
"I'm fine." Li Jian said slowly, looking at him, "Water jade controls yin and yang, gold lock controls time, and wood and stone control space. So what is the function of the earth ring?"
After hearing this, Qi Xiu said, "It is rumored that the earth ring determines the topography, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the world, and even the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as the weather of sun, moon, thunder, lightning, rain and snow."
"No wonder Lin Zhao can predict weather changes and seize business opportunities." Li Jian said, and finally took the flagon from Qi Xiu.
He bit the cork away, spit it out casually, raised his head and drank it.
There was an almost bohemian charm about him.But Qi Xiu knew that he must be very sad now.
Qi Xiu frowned, and finally opened a jug of wine, and drank with him.
Li Jian's drinking capacity is actually quite good, and he seldom gets drunk.But this time he drank too much wine at once, and he was indeed a little drunk.So much so that at the end, he leaned on Qi Xiu's shoulder, closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
At this time, Liu Hua arrived at the gate of the inner hall and whispered: "Your Majesty..."
Qi Xiu made a silent gesture, told Li Jian to lie down, covered him with a brocade quilt, and walked out with Liu Hua. "What's up?"
"General Su Yang is asking to see you." Liu Hua said, "He is in front of Yangming Hall."
"Okay." Qi Xiu glanced back at Li Jian, and finally headed for Yangming Palace, Liu Hua quickly followed his steps.
Inside Yangming Hall, Qi Xiu looked at Su Yang. "What's the matter? It's so late, is there something urgent?"
"Yes, I came here as soon as I received the news." Su Yang sighed, "Gui Xiangyang, a wealthy businessman in Lin City, gathered a group of people to sue you and Li Jian."
"Why?" Qi Xiu frowned.
"Gui Xiangyang said that he entrusted his younger sister to Wuwen Xianzun, and Wuwen Xianzun also married his sister. But in a blink of an eye, Wuwen Xianzun became your male favorite, and...and killed him Sister. His accusations were so severe that many ordinary people cried." Su Yang said, "Lin Cheng has some public grievances because of the book ban. What's more, this matter really insulted the reputation of Senior Li Jian."
"I see." Qi Xiu pressed his eyebrows.
"How do you plan to deal with it?" Su Yang asked, "I think what Gui Xiangyang means is that Ma Lailan, who will gather people in a few days, will protest and help his sister get justice."
"Apart from forcible suppression, what other suggestions do you have?" Qi Xiu looked at Su Yang with a stern look in his eyes.
Su Yang frowned immediately. "This...but I...you allow me to think about it, and discuss it with a few ministers."
"I don't believe that the anti-Qi alliance can cause any disturbances. If you oppose one, you will kill one. If you oppose one hundred, you will kill one hundred. During this period, Xihua is eyeing him like a tiger, and even the ancient demon gods have appeared. There must be no civil strife in the human world." Xiu clenched his fist.
Su Yang frowned and couldn't help but sigh.
"You go back first. The court will be canceled tomorrow morning. I'll call some ministers from the Military Aircraft Department. I have something to discuss with you." Qi Xiu said.
"Yeah." Su Yang nodded and turned to leave.
Qi Xiu stopped him: "Don't let my master know about this."
Having said that, Qi Xiu looked at Liu Hua again. "Pass me an oral order, it is strictly forbidden to discuss this matter in the palace, especially in front of the immortal."
"Yes." Liu Hua said.
After Su Yang left, Qi Xiu heaved a long sigh and walked back to Chuliu Palace.
In the inner hall, there were many empty jugs on the ground, Qi Xiu stepped forward, picked them up one by one, and tidied them up.
Before, Li Jian drank a lot of wine, Qi Xiu drank less.At this moment, he also seemed to feel bored, so he picked up the jug and drank a lot at once.
His actions seemed to have awakened Li Jian.Li Jian got up, sat up from the bed, and looked at him with sleepy eyes. "where have you been?"
"The minister is looking for something. I have something to deal with." Qi Xiu stepped forward and supported his shoulder, "Sleep, master."
"Yeah." Li Jian's alcohol hadn't passed, his cheeks were a little flushed, and he was lazily leaning on Qi Xiu's shoulder.
Qi Xiu raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Master, are you unhappy and want to hug me? Don't be embarrassed."
Li Jian: "..."
Qi Xiu took him into his arms, but Li Jian was not polite, and gently wrapped his arms around his arms while he was drunk.
"Master, it's not your fault. It's just that Fuji made you unhappy on purpose. Besides, Guixiang won't live long. I will definitely kill Fuji." Qi Xiu's eyes flashed a stern look.
"I'm really fine. You let me adjust it. It will be fine soon." Li Jian sighed, leaning against Qi Xiu, soon
Qingque fluttered its wings, "I can't help too obviously, this is against the rules of the God Realm. So I just sent my avatar/body over to take a look."
"You...couldn't have been a blue sparrow at first, right?" Li Jian asked, "It's pretty cute."
"Fuck you. If you want to praise me for being beautiful and handsome, how can you use cute?" Xiaoqing sighed, "In other words, I am also making up for it—"
"Make up for what?" Li Jian asked.
"I...hey, maybe I've made thousands of mistakes, and it's all my fault." Xiaoqing sighed again, fluttered her wings, and seemed to want to fly away.
"What happened to Fuji?" Li Jian frowned, "Did you come here because you noticed her presence?"
"Yes." Xiaoqing nodded, "The astrolabe shows... There are big variables. But even I can't find out everything for the time being. Li Jian, for many things, I can only click to the end. God Realm has God Realm order."
"I understand. Thank you. Then I will go to this banquet." Li Jian said.
"Yeah. I'll go first." The blue bird fluttered its wings.
Spirit world.
Hua Qingshu sighed, then smiled again. ——At that time, he really thought that sending Li Jian away from the God Realm would be the last time he saw Li Jian, but unexpectedly...
Huaqingshu walked to Wuya Mountain and looked at the astrolabe in the center of the galaxy.He squinted his eyes - the astrolabe determines the fate of everyone in the human world.Then... who will decide the fate of the gods?
Two days later, Huang Xuelin Huang Mansion.
When Li Jian arrived, he found that Qian Youqing was also there.Come to think of it, it was Li Jian recommended by Qian Youqing to Huang Xuelin.
There are beauties in pink dancing in the hall, and white jade lamps on the table.What was placed in the white jade cup was grape wine, and the purple wine looked extremely attractive in the crystal clear white jade cup.
The singing and dancing are peaceful, and the lanterns are like the day.
Li Jian couldn't help thinking—tsk, it really is Mr. Huang who can do such a thing as recruiting a male favorite for Qi Xiu, he really knows how to enjoy life.
After Li Jian was seated, a lady in pink brought a jug and poured a glass of wine for Li Jian.The beauty raised her eyes and looked at Li Jian for a few more times. She only felt that this person had beautiful features, but was not feminine. He obviously had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which was very attractive, but he also had a sense of immortality about him. Added a sense of abstinence, really... so joyful.
The beauty was a little stunned, and she wished she could immediately say to Master Huang: "My lord, give me to this handsome gentleman!"
But Jiaren was soon dumbfounded.Because Master Huang got up and bowed to Li Jian, and said: "Don't ask if the immortal can come, the fluffy grass will shine. How is your majesty these days?"
Belle's heart is broken—what?Is he the Immortal Venerable Bu Wen whom His Majesty loves so much?Such a handsome man actually likes a man?And, is he still a member of His Majesty?
The beauty let out a long sigh, she was not distracted enough to help Li Jian pour the wine, and left angrily.
Since Li Jian didn't pay much attention to any beauties, she slightly bowed her hands to Master Huang. "Your Majesty is fine. Please sit down, Your Excellency."
"Excuse me, Immortal. I just received a message from the boy from the richest man's family. He was involved in an urgent matter, so it was a little late." Huang Xuelin said.Huang Xuelin was actually a little nervous, after all, he didn't understand Li Jian's personality.He was afraid that if Li Jian got angry, it would be bad for him if he whispered to His Majesty.
Unexpectedly, Li Jian is easy to speak.Li Jian raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass. "It's all right. But I'm curious, who is this?"
Li Jian thought to himself, how dare the richest man let two important ministers and a "male favorite" who is said to be the emperor sleep with him every night to wait for him? Simple.
Just in time, while he is away, you can inquire about his situation with the two ministers.
After hearing Li Jian's words, Qian Youqing said, "This person is called Lin Zhao. His family originally had some wealth. About four years ago, he became the head of the family, and then spent four years becoming the richest man in Guangguo. It is said that Ah, he can accurately predict which year the grain will be harvested and which year will be reduced, and it is accurate to each grain."
After hearing this, Huang Xuelin made some additions. "Not only food, but also all kinds of goods. He can count when the price increases and when the price drops. His family is not weak at all, and he has doubled it several times. No, Cheng Guangguo is the richest gone."
When Li Jian heard this, he also understood—so, he knew when to stock up and when to sell, and he could control the price of the entire market.
Amazing, if modern people have the ability to speculate in stocks and futures, they will surpass Buffett in minutes and become the richest man in the world.
— But how did this person calculate it?
The most powerful fortune teller Li Jian has seen so far is the old man Bai that Chong'er found.After Bai Ze, he is still a powerful monster.But even he can only look at cause and effect, it is impossible to see such details.Next, a powerful Taoist priest such as Fu An can calculate the life span of a person, what kind of troubles he may encounter in which year, and see whether the road ahead for this person will be smooth or bumpy.But it was impossible for him to see such details.
Li Jian is really curious about what kind of person this richest man, Lin Zhao, is.
After a while, Lin Zhao came.
This person was younger than Li Jian imagined, and he came by carriage.There were a bunch of beauties around the carriage, and they accompanied the carriage to the gate of the Huang Mansion while spreading flowers.
The carriage stopped behind the gate of Huangfu.It seemed that Lin Zhao was afraid that the ground would be too dirty, so a bunch of beauties took out a blanket and helped him spread it all the way to the banquet hall.
Lin Zhao got off the carriage and stepped on the carpet, and then the bunch of beauties sprinkled a lot of fragrant flowers on the carpet, and he was willing to walk into the main hall with these flowers.
That's not all, he brought his own wine glasses, cutlery, and even a chair.Those people put all these utensils for him one by one before he was willing to serve.Of course, the table in front of him was also covered with a layer of luxurious brocade.
Seeing this, the faces of Qian Youqing and Huang Xuelin turned green.
Li Jian had fun watching it—tsk, this guy is so flamboyant.My family, Qi Xiugui, is a holy emperor, and he didn't see anything like this.
Lin Zhao looked at the eyes of everyone and smiled. "Don't mind me, everyone. I like to be clean. I have bad lungs since I was a child. If there is a little dust, I will cough. It's a joke."
"It's okay, it's okay." Huang Xuelin was not very happy, but he had to smooth things over.
"Hehe." Lin Zhao smiled, and seemed to see Li Jian's indifferent expression, and said, "I've seen the immortal. The immortal has a poor cultivation base, so I must have never seen such a ostentation. If you have my disease Ah, don't know what to do, do you?"
Lin Zhao's words were quite contemptuous.Thinking about it, he had made Li Jian into a poor and poor person. ——He has no money and no power, so what if he cultivates the immortal method, he still wants to be the male favorite of the Holy Emperor.
"You mean laying the carpet before walking? I don't need to walk. I rely on flying." Li Jian was not angry, and just poured a glass of wine.He thought that since he returned to this world and considered being with Qi Xiu, he had thought about all the criticisms he might face.
Besides, just like reading that forbidden book, people talking about him and Qi Xiu now are just adding some talk to their boring lives, and no one cares about the truth.So Li Jian felt that there was no need to clarify, as long as he and Qi Xiu had a good life.
After hearing this, Lin Zhao didn't continue to say anything, but only looked at Li Jian a few more times.
The more Li Jian looked at Lin Zhao, the more strange he felt.He's just a businessman, no matter how capable he is, he wouldn't be so arrogant in front of important court officials.Even if money can turn ghosts around, it's better to live with face.Otherwise, if he pissed off someone at that time, it would be good enough for him to put some checkpoints on taxation, or official roads, or freight routes.
Lin Zhao didn't stay for long, but he declined and said he wanted to leave.He coughed a few times and said that he had to go home. He would hold a banquet at the mansion another day to make amends to the two ministers.
If so, Lin Zhao left.
Huang Xuelin looked embarrassed, and Qian Youqing's expression became more and more unsightly.Li Jian actually laughed, anyway, he always looked like he was watching a play from the beginning to the end.But he knew that since Xiaoqing said that this trip would definitely yield something, then it must be—what's the story about Lin Zhao?Do you want to visit the Lin Mansion at night?
After seeing Lin Zhao off, Huang Xuelin looked at Li Jian very apologetically. "Xianzun, it is true that we did not handle this well. This... not only did the matter go wrong, but it also neglected you..."
Huang Xuelin was really distressed.Come on, Li Jian definitely doesn't like women, no matter how many girls he finds to dance, he probably won't be interested.This is because he has a special relationship with the Holy Emperor, and it is even more impossible to find a young man to serve him.How to appease Li Jian is really difficult.
"My lord, don't take it to heart. You are doing this for the sake of the country. Maybe one day the war will start again. It is right to think about ways to fill the treasury in advance. Your Majesty will see your hard work. When Li Jian said this, she got up, "I won't delay any longer, I'll go first."
If so, Li Jianjian bid farewell.
Li Jian planned to leave the Huangfu, and simply go to a tavern or something like that, and wait until nightfall to visit Lin Zhao's residence.
Unexpectedly, just as Li Jian walked out of the Huangfu, he saw a young servant running in front of Li Jian. "Don't you want to ask Xianzun? My master asked me to deliver a message for him."
"Oh? Who is your master?" Li Jian asked.
"It's the one you just met, Lin Zhao." The little servant said, "My master said that he didn't mean to be rude just now, and he just wanted to attract the attention of the immortal."
Li Jian: "..."
"The master said that he felt sorry for the birth of the immortal, and felt that you looked really poor in terms of food and clothing. It seems that the emperor treated you badly. The master said, you can follow him. He will give you money."
"Oh, what else did he say?" Li Jian raised an eyebrow.
"The master said, if you are willing, he will meet you at the Lin mansion tonight." The young man said, "How about it, are you willing to go?"
Li Jian readily agreed. "Okay, I'll go."
The little servant bowed and left.Li Jian frowned, thinking - of course I will go, I will teach your master how to be a human being.
Naturally, Li Jian would not feel that she was fell in love with at first sight.Most of Lin Zhao still thinks that he is a so-called "male favorite", and he really thinks that he is poor, so he invites him with money.
This Lin Zhao didn't pay attention to the court officials at all, and his attitude towards himself was ambiguous and strange, and there was indeed a problem.
Li Jian didn't wait until night, and immediately followed the young man with the magic of stealth, and came to Lin's house in an instant.
Speaking of it, this Lin's house doesn't look too big, and the courtyard and rooms are similar to other mansions, which are somewhat different from what Li Jian imagined.
Thinking of the ostentation Lin Zhao went to the Huangfu just now, Li Jian thought his house would be particularly luxurious.
Li Jian Yujian, relying on the divine breath technique, no one could see him, he turned around, but didn't see Lin Zhao for a while.
But Li Jian soon saw a familiar person——Xiao Dong.However, it seemed that Xiao Dong had just finished talking with the people in the Lin residence, walked to the yard, and Yu Jian left.
Therefore, Li Jian had no way of knowing what Xiao Dong's purpose in coming to the Lin residence was.
A while ago, when Li Jian was in Lincheng, it was this Xiao Dong who found him and asked him to join the "Anti-Qi Alliance".It was also after Xiao Dong and Li Jian went to Liu Taishou's house that he knew that Liu Taishou was the leader of the "Anti-Qi Alliance".
But after Liu Taishou was taken away by Qi Xiu, the result of the interrogation has not yet come out, and it is impossible to know who is behind his puppet leader.And this Xiao Dong has also disappeared since then, even the hidden guards of Xuanjue Pavilion failed to catch him.
——This time, Xiao Dong unexpectedly appeared in the Lin residence.Could it be that Lin Zhao is related to the Anti-Qi alliance?
That's right, since he has decided to oppose Qi and Guangguo, what is he doing to curry favor with the ministers?
If the richest man in Guangguo provided financial support for this anti-Qi alliance, then he might be the real mastermind behind it, at least one of the masterminds.The anti-Qi alliance did not disintegrate with Liu Taishou's arrest, but continued to operate in secret.
But if Lin Zhao is really the mastermind, how dare he lure himself here and discover all this?
Li Jian frowned, finally got up with the sword, and left the Lin residence temporarily.
Until Youshi, Li Jian didn't use the divine concealment technique anymore, but went directly to Lin's mansion with his sword.
Lin Zhao hosted a banquet in the courtyard.It seems that he really likes flowers, and the garden is full of all kinds of flowers.There are many small dishes and tea on the stone table, and even the tea has flower petals floating in it.
Li Jian Yujian went down, but it didn't land, but just floated on the ground, and asked, "Lin Zhao, you asked me to come?"
Lin Zhao, who was sitting in the gazebo, stiffened his back, then stood up, and turned to look at Li Jian.
The smile on Lin Zhao's face did not seem to be fake, he was really smiling happily, and he had a completely different face from today in Huang's Mansion.
In Lin Zhao's eyes, Li Jian came here on the moon, really like a fairy.Lin Zhao immediately ran towards him, but he didn't wait for him to get close to Li Jian, only to see Li Jian's hands concentrating on the spell, and countless swords appeared in front of Lin Zhao immediately.
Lin Zhao was startled, stopped in a hurry, and fell to the ground, ate a mouthful of mud, and was very embarrassed.
Li Jian raised her eyebrows. "Have you met? Mr. Lin, the gap between us is not between the rich and the poor, but the gap in strength. Besides, I am not poor."
"I really didn't do that on purpose today. I just feel that if I don't exaggerate a little, you won't come to my place." Lin Zhao got up from the ground, not angry, but explained to Li Jian seriously, " That day, the Immortal Venerable confronted the Holy Emperor face to face in Lin City, and I saw everything there."
Li Jian didn't expect this, so she just asked him: "So?"
"I am really impressed by the demeanor of the Immortal Venerable. But I don't understand why the Immortal Venerable is willing to be his male favorite when he is clearly able to compete with the Holy Emperor? It can only be because he is short of money." Lin Zhao said.
I have a go.What the hell is Lin Zhao's brain circuit?Is this the IQ of a business wizard?
Li Jian raised his forehead, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I've been upset with the Holy Emperor for a long time." Lin Zhao said, "Recently, people from the Anti-Qi Alliance also contacted me. We plan to fight against the Holy Emperor! Immortal Venerable, I can see what you did in Lincheng Li. I believe that you are definitely not a person who helps the evil! You are willing to stay with the Holy Emperor, if it is not for money, do you want to assassinate him?"
At that moment, Li Jian's mood was - if he was a member of the anti-Qi alliance, he would be too hot to meet a teammate like Lin Zhao.
In an instant, Li Jian thought, if Lin Zhao was telling the truth, then Lin Zhao was not the mastermind of the Anti-Qi Alliance, but was just approached by them?
Li Jian narrowed his eyes, didn't answer his words, but landed on the ground, retracted his solitary sword, walked towards the gazebo, sat down, and looked at Lin Zhao: "Did someone from Xiao Dong come to you?"
"That's right. He has been here several times, and I met him today. I promised to provide silver to their alliance." Lin Zhao came over and sat down, "Xianzun, do you know Xiao Dong?"
"Yes. He looked for me." Li Jian replied, "Let me join the Anti-Qi Alliance."
"Then do you agree?" Lin Zhao asked expectantly.
"I said... you are not afraid that I will have the same heart with the Holy Emperor? After you finish these words to me, I can kill you immediately, and then the Holy Emperor will confiscate the Lin family's house. So what if you have a lot of money? You are a mortal after all." Li Jane raised her eyebrows.
Lin Zhao only said: "Not afraid. First, I trust you. You have the smell and breath of God on your body, which is the same as my family's heirloom. You are definitely a good person, and my intuition has always been accurate. Second, I am not afraid of the Holy Emperor." Kill me. How many good people and good deeds have I done these years? The people in the entire Lanque City know that I am a great good person. If the Holy Emperor kills me, then I will die well, because everyone will know that the Holy Emperor is a scum, and the anti-Qi alliance It will grow further. Third, my family has heirlooms that can protect me. I am not afraid."
"The Holy Emperor is not a scum." Li Jian frowned, and finally helped Qi Xiu argue, and then asked, "What is the heirloom you are talking about?"
"Then I can't tell you easily. Unless you agree to join the Anti-Qi Alliance." Lin Zhao said.
"Can I ask you first, why don't you like the Holy Emperor?" Li Jian frowned, and finally asked Lin Zhao that.
Imperial Palace, Yangming Palace.
Qi Xiu is still reviewing the memorial.The agarwood incense was lit, and when he smelled it, his fatigue seemed to be relieved.
Liu Hua entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Huang asked to see him and said he has something to report to you."
"Master Huang?" Qi Xiu put down the pen in his hand and looked at Liu Hua, "Didn't he have a banquet at home? He went without asking the immortal."
Having said that, Qi Xiu frowned, "Let him in."
In the end, he had to bear his temper and listened to Huang Xuelin finish talking.Huang Xuelin is in charge of the sacrifice of the Ministry of Rites, and he is reporting the matter of worshiping the gods in Beishan this winter.
Qi Xiu nodded upon hearing this. "I see, it's basically the same as last year. No... reduce the cost. What's the use of worshiping God? Has God saved you?"
"Hey, it's you, the Holy Emperor, who saved us!" Huang Xuelin flattered, "Your Majesty means...can you cancel it?"
"It can't be cancelled. The people need a sense of faith and security. But everything can be kept simple. Otherwise, it will be a waste of people and money. The budget will be cut in half." Qi Xiu gave instructions and said, "Aren't you hosting a banquet? Don't ask the immortals ?”
"Uh...the Immortal has already left." Huang Xuelin's heart skipped a beat, "He...hasn't come back yet?"
Qi Xiu got up. "Do you know where he went?"
"Oh, I heard from the servant that the young man from the Lin residence has been wandering in front of my mansion. Don't ask the immortal...whether he was invited to the Lin residence? But...it shouldn't be, Lin Zhao. , at the banquet, he spoke rudely to Buwen Xianzun. Hey, then the Xianzun should be angry with him, why would he go to his house..." Huang Xuelin thought for a while, and said.
"Lin Zhao? Is that the so-called No. [-] wealthy businessman in Guangguo?" Qi Xiu frowned even tighter, "How did he speak so rudely?"
Arriving here, Huang Xuelin was already a little nervous.He had heard that the Holy Emperor was very fond of the Immortal Venerable, but he did not expect to be so favored.But Huang Xuelin was nervous, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
After Huang Xuelin said this, Qi Xiu didn't speak for a long time. He rested his elbows on the table and propped his forehead with his palms. He lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. He fell into a long silence, and his expression looked a little blame yourself.
Seeing this, Huang Xuelin and Liu Hua on the side didn't dare to make a sound.
After a while, Qi Xiu raised his head, looked at Huang Xuelin again, and asked, "Then why do you think Lin Zhao said that?"
"This..." Huang Xuelin broke out in cold sweat on his back.
Qi Xiu said: "Tell the truth. Forgive your innocence."
"Cough...yes..." Huang Xuelin had to say, "I guess, Lin Zhao probably looked down on the immortal, thinking that he was like those male pets... because he betrayed his masculinity... it harmed a man's dignity...so he made a statement Sarcasm a bit."
Speaking of this, Huang Xuelin didn't dare to continue, but Qi Xiu naturally understood what he meant.
Qi Xiu looked at him. "You can guess what he thinks, so do you think so too?"
At this point, Huang Xuelin knelt down, as if he dared not answer.
"As I said, I forgive you for your innocence." Qi Xiu said again.
"Yes..." Huang Xuelin sighed, and said again, "Chen... I did have this kind of thought at the beginning. However, Mr. Qian mentioned the demeanor and talent of the immortal, so I can meet and talk with him today , has completely changed. Immortal Venerable, he...he..."
Huang Xuelin thought for a while, and seemed to be looking for an adjective.He didn't dare to praise too much, lest Qi Xiu think that he had some unreasonable thoughts about not asking the immortal, so that he would be miserable.But he can't help but boast.So it's a little difficult to control.
"He's very nice, isn't he." Qi Xiu took Huang Xuelin's words, and then said in a tone that sounded a little self-blaming, "It's because I neglected this and wronged him..."
Huang Xuelin bowed his head and didn't dare to answer, but he was a little moved in his heart. — Tsk, the Holy Emperor is actually such a loving person.
"If I make him a male queen, so what?" Qi Xiu asked, "Let him be justified, and correct the people in the world's view of him."
"This...it seems that there is no precedent for this. I...go back and check..." Huang Xuelin was a little surprised.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need anything, just tell me." Qi Xiu said.
Huang Xuelin heard this, thought for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, what I said today...are you innocent?"
Qi Xiu raised his eyebrows. "What else do you want to say?"
"The minister is in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette, and the ceremony...is easy to say. It's just...it's just about the issue of the succession of the country...I don't know if the rest of the ministers will agree..." Huang Xuelin said bravely.
"I don't need their consent." Qi Xiu said, "Thinking back in the past, the three emperors of Yao, Shun and Yu were inherited by different surnames. In the future, I will hand over the country to someone worthy of entrustment. What's wrong with you? A capable person. Even if I marry a woman, if I give birth to a waste, or a person with worrisome virtue, and let the country be buried in his hands, will you be satisfied?"
Huang Xuelin didn't dare to say any more, and said hastily: "Yes, I'm talking too much."
"It's okay. Let's go down." Qi Xiu sighed softly.
After Huang Xuelin left, Qi Xiu thought about it, but he was still worried, so he stepped out with his sword and went to Lin's house, wanting to see Li Jian.
Qi Xiu used breath-holding techniques to enter the Lin residence. He descended with his sword and landed on an eaves. Not far ahead was the gazebo where Li Jian and Lin Zhao had a conversation.
Qi Xiu continued to shrink his figure, and heard Li Jian ask: "Can I ask you first, why don't you like the Holy Emperor?"
Lin Zhao naturally complained a lot, coming and going, similar to what Xiao Dong said.
"That's all?" Li Jian asked him, with scrutiny in his eyes.
Lin Zhao thought for a while, and finally said: "There is also my father. He accidentally got involved in a case and was ordered to be executed by him. My father was wronged to death by him. This kind of emperor... I hate. Immortal, you just Join the Anti-Zi League. And—”
Hearing this, Qi Xiu on the roof tightened his heart.He frowned and cast the spell again to confirm that Li Jian hadn't noticed his arrival.For some reason, he really wanted to hear how Li Jian would answer. ——Does he believe in himself?
"Besides, to be honest, after I met Xianzun in Lincheng, I can't forget you. The Lin family has a great career, and you can do whatever you want. Xianzun, the Holy Emperor treats you so badly, why don't you just follow me?" I'll let it go."
Li Jian: "..."
On the eaves, Qi Xiu's mood has become nervous and angry.
Li Jian just thought it was a little funny. "Looking at you, you're only in your early twenties?"
"Hmm..." Lin Zhao nodded.
"Where did you know that he treated me badly?" Li Jian rubbed his nose, "You people have really strong brain skills."
"What is brain supplement?" Lin Zhao frowned.
"It's nothing." Li Jian said, "I'm answering your question just now. I stayed with the Holy Emperor not because of his money, let alone to assassinate him. I stayed with him because I like him."
On the eaves, Qi Xiu smiled.He thought about rushing over to hug his master just like that.But in a blink of an eye, he was afraid that he would be angry if he knew that he had come to eavesdrop, so he had to hold back.
But no matter what, Qi Xiu felt that he finally heard Li Jian say this.He waited for more than 100 years.
"How is that possible? When you were in Lincheng, you all got into a fight. Besides, you seemed very angry with him at the time." Lin Zhao frowned, "What's more, he's that kind of person..."
"I have dealt with many government affairs with him these days. He is definitely not the kind of person you think. I promise you, I will check your father's matter for you to see the truth of the matter. But the Anti-Qi Alliance I I will not join. I advise you to withdraw as soon as possible. Because the Anti-Qi Alliance has something to do with the Xihua Demon Clan. They are just using you." Li Jian said, "So, can you tell me what your family heirloom is? ?”
"Really? Xihua Demon Clan?" Lin Zhao was shocked.
"Stupid boy." Li Jian said with a look of resentment, "The Holy Emperor defeated them. They only poured dirty water on the Holy Emperor in order to make the world kill each other."
Speaking of this, Li Jian couldn't help sighing seeing Lin Zhao's appearance that he was almost convinced by him—this person is so easy to be persuaded, maybe one day Xiao Dong will come to lobby and he will believe Xiao Dong again.
Lin Zhao thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you really going to help me find out about my father?"
"Naturally." Li Jian nodded.
"Okay, let me tell you. My heirloom is an ancient artifact called the Earth Ring." Lin Zhao said.
"What?" Li Jian raised his forehead, "You really aren't afraid that I'm a villain, so you just told me that."
"Four years ago, my mother died, and she gave it to me before she died. I dare say, it is because you will never find it except me." Lin Zhao said so, and found that the tea was gone, Then he called out, "Xiaofang, come and make some tea!"
After a while, a little maid came over.
Li Jian lowered his eyes and took a casual bite of food, so he didn't pay attention to Xiaofang's appearance.It wasn't until Xiaofang came to Lin Zhao's side that Li Jian felt something was wrong. ——Murderous.
In an instant, Xiaofang stabbed Lin Zhao with a dagger.
Li Jian looked up and recognized her.This person is not Xiaofang, but Guixiang possessed by Fuji.
Li Jian didn't think much, and waved directly to give "Gui Xiang" a slap.
"Cinnamon" vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Then Li Jian heard Fuji's voice. "Hahahaha... Majestic Immortal Venerable, kill an innocent civilian! Tsk, how does it feel? Hahahaha..."
Shocked, Li Jian went to Gui Xiang's body to investigate, and then realized horribly—this time, Gui Xiang was only controlled by Fu Ji, but she was not really possessed.
Gui Xiang is just an ordinary person without the slightest cultivation, so naturally she couldn't bear her own palm.
——I actually killed an ordinary person.
At that moment, Li Jian couldn't help trembling with the arm stretched out to feel Guixiang's pulse.
He was not born in this world of fighting and killing. After all, he has received modern education and knows that murder is a crime and a great crime since he was a child.In this world, although he has killed people or monsters, but basically he would die if he didn't kill the other party, not to mention, he has never fought with ordinary people.
But right now, he actually killed an unarmed girl.
Li Jian is really too guilty and remorseful.
On the side, Lin Zhao stepped forward immediately. "What was that sound just now? Is it Xihua Demon? Immortal...you...what's wrong with you? You don't need to blame yourself. You are here to save me. I saw it all. You didn't mean it either."
Before Lin Zhao finished speaking, someone had already descended from the sky, pulled Li Jian up, hugged him into his arms, and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm late. Don't be afraid."
"You...what do you call him?" Lin Zhao looked at Qi Xiu in shock.
Qi Xiu flicked his sleeves, looked at him coldly, and finally condensed his hand to form a sound-transmitting butterfly, saying: "The hidden guards of Xuanjue Pavilion obey the order, come to Lin Zhao's mansion as soon as possible, and protect Lin Zhao. If necessary, bring He returns to the imperial palace!"
After finishing speaking, Qi Xiu stepped on his sword and took Li Jian away.
Lin Zhao froze in place even more shocked—is this man the Holy Emperor?But... Should he call the Immortal Venerable "Master"?
——No, I have read about the matter of the Holy Emperor and his master from forbidden books.Don't ask the immortal...it's actually Li Jian, the big devil who committed countless murders? ? !
Imperial Palace, Chuliu Palace.
Li Jian had recovered his calm, but he sat on the bed with his brows frowned, without saying a word.Qi Xiu saw that appearance, and his heart ached.
Qi Xiu thought for a while, brought the wine over, "Master, if you are unhappy, how about I drink with you?"
"I'm fine." Li Jian said slowly, looking at him, "Water jade controls yin and yang, gold lock controls time, and wood and stone control space. So what is the function of the earth ring?"
After hearing this, Qi Xiu said, "It is rumored that the earth ring determines the topography, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the world, and even the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as the weather of sun, moon, thunder, lightning, rain and snow."
"No wonder Lin Zhao can predict weather changes and seize business opportunities." Li Jian said, and finally took the flagon from Qi Xiu.
He bit the cork away, spit it out casually, raised his head and drank it.
There was an almost bohemian charm about him.But Qi Xiu knew that he must be very sad now.
Qi Xiu frowned, and finally opened a jug of wine, and drank with him.
Li Jian's drinking capacity is actually quite good, and he seldom gets drunk.But this time he drank too much wine at once, and he was indeed a little drunk.So much so that at the end, he leaned on Qi Xiu's shoulder, closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
At this time, Liu Hua arrived at the gate of the inner hall and whispered: "Your Majesty..."
Qi Xiu made a silent gesture, told Li Jian to lie down, covered him with a brocade quilt, and walked out with Liu Hua. "What's up?"
"General Su Yang is asking to see you." Liu Hua said, "He is in front of Yangming Hall."
"Okay." Qi Xiu glanced back at Li Jian, and finally headed for Yangming Palace, Liu Hua quickly followed his steps.
Inside Yangming Hall, Qi Xiu looked at Su Yang. "What's the matter? It's so late, is there something urgent?"
"Yes, I came here as soon as I received the news." Su Yang sighed, "Gui Xiangyang, a wealthy businessman in Lin City, gathered a group of people to sue you and Li Jian."
"Why?" Qi Xiu frowned.
"Gui Xiangyang said that he entrusted his younger sister to Wuwen Xianzun, and Wuwen Xianzun also married his sister. But in a blink of an eye, Wuwen Xianzun became your male favorite, and...and killed him Sister. His accusations were so severe that many ordinary people cried." Su Yang said, "Lin Cheng has some public grievances because of the book ban. What's more, this matter really insulted the reputation of Senior Li Jian."
"I see." Qi Xiu pressed his eyebrows.
"How do you plan to deal with it?" Su Yang asked, "I think what Gui Xiangyang means is that Ma Lailan, who will gather people in a few days, will protest and help his sister get justice."
"Apart from forcible suppression, what other suggestions do you have?" Qi Xiu looked at Su Yang with a stern look in his eyes.
Su Yang frowned immediately. "This...but I...you allow me to think about it, and discuss it with a few ministers."
"I don't believe that the anti-Qi alliance can cause any disturbances. If you oppose one, you will kill one. If you oppose one hundred, you will kill one hundred. During this period, Xihua is eyeing him like a tiger, and even the ancient demon gods have appeared. There must be no civil strife in the human world." Xiu clenched his fist.
Su Yang frowned and couldn't help but sigh.
"You go back first. The court will be canceled tomorrow morning. I'll call some ministers from the Military Aircraft Department. I have something to discuss with you." Qi Xiu said.
"Yeah." Su Yang nodded and turned to leave.
Qi Xiu stopped him: "Don't let my master know about this."
Having said that, Qi Xiu looked at Liu Hua again. "Pass me an oral order, it is strictly forbidden to discuss this matter in the palace, especially in front of the immortal."
"Yes." Liu Hua said.
After Su Yang left, Qi Xiu heaved a long sigh and walked back to Chuliu Palace.
In the inner hall, there were many empty jugs on the ground, Qi Xiu stepped forward, picked them up one by one, and tidied them up.
Before, Li Jian drank a lot of wine, Qi Xiu drank less.At this moment, he also seemed to feel bored, so he picked up the jug and drank a lot at once.
His actions seemed to have awakened Li Jian.Li Jian got up, sat up from the bed, and looked at him with sleepy eyes. "where have you been?"
"The minister is looking for something. I have something to deal with." Qi Xiu stepped forward and supported his shoulder, "Sleep, master."
"Yeah." Li Jian's alcohol hadn't passed, his cheeks were a little flushed, and he was lazily leaning on Qi Xiu's shoulder.
Qi Xiu raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Master, are you unhappy and want to hug me? Don't be embarrassed."
Li Jian: "..."
Qi Xiu took him into his arms, but Li Jian was not polite, and gently wrapped his arms around his arms while he was drunk.
"Master, it's not your fault. It's just that Fuji made you unhappy on purpose. Besides, Guixiang won't live long. I will definitely kill Fuji." Qi Xiu's eyes flashed a stern look.
"I'm really fine. You let me adjust it. It will be fine soon." Li Jian sighed, leaning against Qi Xiu, soon
