That's What Villains Are Like

In this thatched house, in addition to Qi Qingxuan, there are also his old slave Wei Gong and the former Shang princess Shang Mingyu.

At this time, everyone showed deep admiration for the man on the wooden mat.

Even Qi Qingxuan, who claims to be the future emperor and has swallowed the five fruits of the Buddhist heavenly medicine, respects him very much.

The man's name was Shang Yuanji, and he was a former imperial advisor of the Shang Dynasty.

As the overlord of Zhongtian Prefecture before the Great Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty had a far-reaching inheritance, and its reign lasted for more than 10,000 years. It still has fans all over Zhongtian Prefecture to this day. The remnants of the Shang Dynasty are hidden overseas and support hundreds of sects, making Zhongtian Prefecture The tentacles of many Taoist forces cannot reach there.

When Daxia was at its most prosperous, there was nothing that could be done about the remnants of the Shang Dynasty and could not be completely eliminated.

The remnants of the Shang Dynasty, who have never given up their desire for restoration, have been plotting secretly. Supporting Qi Qingxuan to fight against the Queen of Daxia is now part of their plan.

Qi Qingxuan knew what he meant, but he did not refuse. He even took the initiative to contact the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, and went to a bitter cold place outside the territory to find Shang Yuanji, the former national advisor of the Shang Dynasty.

After promising Shang Yuanji many benefits and even agreeing to give him a share of the national fortune, he successfully persuaded him to come out and help him.

During this process, in order to compete with the rising and unstoppable Immortal Alliance, Qi Qingxuan took the initiative to contact the demon behind him and talked about cooperation in front of everyone.

It's a pity that despite his glib words, the demon god didn't agree. He thought it was very risky and couldn't see the opportunity.

At the critical moment, it was Shang Yuanji who came forward, used reason and emotion, proposed a method of combining vertical and horizontal lines, and put forward his own plan, which made the demon god see hope, and then he agreed.

Since then, Qi Qingxuan has obtained several more important things from the demon god.

"The devil has always been cunning. Since he has chosen you as his spokesperson on this side, he must have a plan for you. However, the golden scissors he gave you this time is a good spiritual treasure. This treasure can be used to deal with the national destiny. In addition to the miraculous effect, the cloud lotus purple platform is a secret treasure of Buddhism, which can be used to gather luck..."

"The national destiny of Daxia and the destiny of the Immortal Alliance have become entangled. With these two treasures, you can use the blood of the royal family to revive the dragon veins and compete for the destiny of the country, thereby damaging the destiny of the Immortal Alliance."

Shang Yuanji's eyes were calm and his tone was leisurely. He put the ancient scroll down and stood up. His body, which was not very tall, contained a kind of vastness that even the stars and the earth could not contain.

At this moment, this thatched house seemed to be the only center on this bitter cold and desolate planet. The wind and snow between the sky and the earth had stopped, and a bright ray of sunshine fell from a distance, piercing the dark clouds in the sky.

Many years ago, Shang Yuanji was a supreme power. Although he has not yet entered the holy realm, his strength has already reached an unfathomable level. In his hands, he has the power of a supreme power. I can't even hold it in my palm.

"Thank you sir for your advice. I have learned from it." Qi Qingxuan bowed his hands again, feeling very excited.

In his opinion, talents and generals are far more important than any cultivation. As the future emperor, he coordinates everything and naturally does not need to rush to the front.

Getting help from Shang Yuanji is far more important than getting any treasure.

"I recently watched the sky at night and saw that the military fortunes in the Yingzhao Star Region are prosperous. I am afraid that an extraordinary person has come to this world. If Your Highness is interested, you may go to the Yingzhao Star Region to see if you can recruit this person."

"With the help of this person, it will not be difficult for His Highness to expand territories, conquer cities, and achieve great achievements in the future."

Shang Yuanji's eyes were deep, looking in the direction of Yingzhao Star Territory, and he seemed to see something, and his voice was leisurely and authentic.

Qi Qingxuan's heart perked up when he heard this, and his face became even more joyful. It seems that when he comes to the Sifang Star Territory this time, he will not only get a talented person to assist him, but also a famous general? God really blessed him.

"Since sir said so, I must go there myself."

"If I set off now, it will only take two days to arrive at the Yingzhao Star Territory. I hope you will help me recruit this person." Qi Qingxuan said with cupped hands.

Shang Yuanji nodded and agreed.

He obtained the Yuanji Vairochana Wisdom Book, studied it for many years, and gained insight into many secrets of the world. He was particularly good at observing people and their auras.

He already knew the reason why he followed the Great Shang Lord and never became a saint.

The leader of the Great Shang Kingdom is not the lord of destiny, so he cannot bear the destiny of the Great Shang State, which will eventually cause the Great Shang State to fall apart and eventually lead to destruction.

Daxia was born on the ruins of the Great Shang Dynasty, and to a certain extent it carried the former national destiny of the Great Shang Dynasty.

In this world, the world has undergone great changes, the national fortunes are booming, and the entire land of Kyushu is undergoing shocking changes. If recognized by heaven and earth, the Lord of Great Xia will far surpass the monarchs of any previous dynasty and become an unprecedented emperor. The future of the human world Lord.

Judging from the destiny of the day, who the future lord of the human world will be has not yet surfaced, and is still shrouded in a layer of fog.

But what is certain is that the future lord of the human world will definitely be the lord of the Great Xia Dynasty. There is no doubt about this.

The current head of the Great Xia Dynasty is Emperor Xia. Behind her stands the Taiyi Sect, and she has Li Sheng's layout. Although Shang Yuanji is confident, he doesn't think he can compete with the layout of a saint for many years, but he also Not willing to give up from now on.

The appearance of Qi Qingxuan made him see a hint of the unpredictability of heaven.

The secrets of heaven have been unpredictable since ancient times, and even saints cannot truly grasp and determine the future.

The future that the saint glimpsed may be just a possibility of the future, and as the saint saw that part of the future, the original part of the future became unpredictable.

Therefore, the real future has always been in the hands of people in the present.

The future is ever-changing, and before everything is settled, there are still countless possibilities. Although Qi Qingxuan has not become the Lord of Great Xia now, what about the future?

…

Gou Chen Star Territory, Gou Chen Palace.

As the host, the current palace owner of Gouchen Palace, Xu Yao's biological mother, showed up and hosted a banquet in person for Jiang Lan and others. The guests and hosts enjoyed the banquet, chatting and laughing, and it was very lively.

Many graceful and beautiful fox girls, with their bodies wrapped in gauze and enchanting postures, sang and danced in the white mist, performing for the crowd.

At the banquet, many elders from Gouchen Palace also came to participate. In addition to the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Clan, there are also several other major demon clans in Gouchen Palace, including the Golden Armored Kui Niu Clan, the Scorpio Blood Spirit Clan, Destroy the Mengtian Bird Clan... Each clan was once the overlord of the Gouchen Star Territory.

Although their ancestors have never given birth to a demon saint comparable to a saint, if one traces the source of their bloodline, it is related to some ancient relics from the ancient times.

The power of blood surpasses that of ordinary ethnic groups by far, and the overall strength of any ethnic group is no weaker than that of the top Immortal Sect.

Among the disciples of the Gouchen Palace generation, in addition to the young palace master Xu Yao, the other major ethnic groups all have young people with pure blood and strong talents. They are very famous in the Gouchen Star Territory and are the most powerful among their peers.

This time, they all followed the family elders to the banquet and asked Jiang Lan for advice. Their attitude was very respectful, and they did not feel like they were facing their peers at all. They even felt like they were facing an elder.

Jiang Lan came on behalf of the Immortal Alliance, so naturally he did not hesitate to teach.

However, the principles he expounded were very direct and pointed directly to the true meaning of the Tao.

All the young tribesmen were confused and confused after hearing this. On the contrary, several elders with advanced cultivation levels had thoughtful expressions on their faces, as if they were feeling something. Their admiration and fear for Jiang Lan in their hearts were even higher. One floor.

The moonlight did not cover three eaves, and the banquet was over. All the guests and hosts had smiles on their faces, and then they stood up and left without delaying Jiang Lan and others' rest.

"Gou Chen Palace has never wanted to get involved in the conflict between the Kaixing Star Territory and the Yingzhao Star Territory. If it were not for the fact that there was really no other way, it would not bother the Young Leader of traveling thousands of miles to come across the territory..."

"Gouchen Palace has arranged a place for the young alliance leader and others to stay. Please come this way."

Xu Yao's mother's name is Xu Xin. She looks dignified and majestic, without any of the femininity of a Fox tribe woman.

She sighed softly and led the way, leading everyone from the Immortal Alliance to the resting place.

Xu Yao followed silently. She did not talk about what happened in Zhongtian Prefecture. She just explained to the tribesmen that when she was traveling in Zhongtian Prefecture, she accidentally met Jiang Lan and got to know him.

This time I heard about the chaos in the four star fields, so I found Jiang Lan and wanted to come together.

Xu Xin, the master of Gouchen Palace, didn't ask much about this, as if she believed in Xu Yao.

Gouchen Palace occupies a very large area, and its palaces and pavilions are nestled among the mountains. Its scale and grandeur are not inferior to those of the human dynasties.

The high-walled courtyard was brightly lit, and there were many women from the Fox tribe coming and going, either carrying golden lamps or incense burners. In the pavilions and corridors, there were also masters from other tribes patrolling around, and they were heavily guarded.

During the banquet, Jiang Lan did not ask about the current situation of Gouchen Palace from beginning to end. He only casually asked about the recent battles in Kaixingxingyu and Yingzhaoxingxing.

Many elders of Gouchen Palace responded quickly and informed them of the situation they had already prepared.

Apart from this, Jiang Lan did not reveal any other intentions, which also made many elders feel silently relieved.

After sending Jiang Lan and others to the resting place, Palace Master Xu Xin and others left.

Xu Yao left with her mother, but before leaving, she still looked at Jiang Lan hesitantly.

However, Jiang Lan didn't seem to see it and went straight to the palace arranged by Gouchen Palace.

Chu Chan has been responsible for the maid's duties all the way. She knows that Gouchen Palace, which has been infiltrated and controlled by Chongming Valley, is a dragon's den and a tiger's den, so she has always been cautious.

At the banquet just now, I only drank some wine without swallowing it, and I didn't touch the rest of the food.

Seeing that Jiang Lan didn't care and ate casually, she was a little worried, but she didn't know whether to remind her.

At this time, she was silently taking care of the beds, tables and chairs in the palace, and was also exploring the surrounding environment, worried that Gouchen Gong might have some tricks.

"Gouchen Palace doesn't dare to fall out with the Immortal Alliance now, Holy Son Jiang Lan, you maid is cautious, but you are a little too timid."

Hanjing seemed very casual, not worried at all, and even had the time to ridicule Chu Chan.

Chu Chan ignored her and did her own thing silently.

"It's always a good thing to be cautious. If Gouchen Palace doesn't dare to fall out with the Immortal Alliance, Chongming Valley might be in trouble." Jiang Lan waited for Chongming Valley to take action. This way, he could save a lot of effort.

"It's best to persuade Gouchen Palace and Chongming Valley to work together to destroy Yingzhao Dojo."

Hanjing now made no secret of his hatred for Yingzhao Dojo.

"When you came to the Sifang Star Territory, didn't you contact the teachers at Yingzhao Dojo?" Jiang Lan asked casually.

"Yingzhao Dojo is fighting like crazy with Lu Wushan right now. Those elders don't have much time to take care of me. I don't know if those elders who are close to me died in the war..." Han Jingyao shook his head.

Jiang Lan looked strange and said, "What about you and your family?"

Hanjing was startled, and then said with a somewhat complicated look, "I haven't been in contact with the family for a long time, but if anything big happens over there, I should be informed."

"Why did Holy Son Jiang Lan suddenly ask about this matter?" She was a little confused.

"I just think that something big happened in your family recently."

Jiang Lan said unhurriedly, but when he said this, his fingers were slightly pressed together, a gleam of light dimmed, and the invisible power that had been shrouding Han Jing's body also dissipated.

Hanjing was startled again when he heard the words, then he closed his eyes and scanned the Sumeru space with his mind, and found a jade communication talisman in the corner.

"This communication jade talisman has no response..."

While she was speaking, she took out the jade communication talisman, but as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed several streams of light flashing through it, and there was a wave of breath coming from it.

"This is?"

Hanjing was stunned again, surprised, and said, "Is it possible that the previous message was not received?"

"After all, the land of Kyushu is too far away from the Sifang Star Territory. The workmanship of your communication jade talisman is very rough at first glance. The range of receiving messages must not be far."

Jiang Lan glanced at it and seemed to guess.

Hanjing still found it difficult to accept this guess, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense.

After all, if you want to know the news about the Sifang Star Region on the land of Kyushu, ordinary communication jade talismans can't do it.

The top forces of all parties communicate with each other through the ancient communication formation.

Afterwards, Hanjing didn't think too much and focused his thoughts on the jade communication talisman, wanting to know what happened to his family.

In her opinion, at most, her parents were concerned about her and asked about her whereabouts. After all, she left the family at that time and did not tell her parents where she was going.

When she joined the Yingzhao Dojo, she deliberately forged her identity and had no connection with her family.

"How can it be……"

"Zhou Yuan..."

But soon, after reading the contents of the summons jade talisman, Hanjing froze on the spot. His beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief and a dull look, as if he had lost his soul, and he kept talking. Reciting the name "Zhou Yuan".

Jiang Lan's eyes became more strange, but he still asked calmly, "What happened?"

Hearing Jiang Lan's inquiry, Hanjing seemed to have recovered from the shocking news, but his eyes were still full of surprise and disbelief, and he kept saying, "He's not dead, he's not dead, I want to see him..."

"Who's not dead?" Jiang Lan frowned slightly.

Han Jingshen took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down and recover from the shock just now.

She looked at Jiang Lan, and her beautiful eyes no longer had the frivolous look of contempt for the world and willingness to sink for revenge. Her whole person seemed to be rejuvenated, and her eyes were shining.

"My husband Zhou Yuan, he is not dead, he is still alive..."

Hanjing explained, but when he mentioned the word "husband", his face suddenly turned pale as if he was stung by something.

Jiang Lan frowned, as if he still didn't understand. Then he stretched out his hand and the jade communication talisman in Hanjing's hand fell into his hand.

He scanned the contents, but his expression became very interested, and said, "A few days ago, a man who called himself Zhou Yuan found your parents, asked about your whereabouts, and then returned to his former family. , solved the recent troubles of the Zhou family..."

"Your parents and the Zhou family are very sure that this man is your former but unmarried husband Zhou Yuan. He was taken away by people from the Yingzhao Dojo, but there was another opportunity. Not only did he change his appearance , even the strength has greatly increased..."

"After many years, he returned to his hometown and found his former family. Now he is still looking for you."

Listening to these words, Hanjing's eyes were filled with joy, helplessness, and sourness, but most of them were still pale.

Since her husband Zhou Yuan is not dead, what does her years of hard work and hatred towards Yingzhao Dojo mean?

Even now, she is committed to Jiang Lan. For revenge, she is willing to sink and fall and pay all the price. What does it mean?

"hehe……"

"I don't have the face to see him now, nor do I have the qualifications."

Hanjing suddenly smiled sadly, the corners of his mouth becoming more bitter.

"It's really the fate that makes people happy."

Jiang Lan handed her the jade talisman of communication, shook his head, and sighed softly, "Do you no longer hate Yingzhao Dojo now, but do you hate me?"

Hanjing was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said bitterly, "I just suddenly felt that I was so stupid. I can only hate myself. If I had known earlier..."

At this point, she did not continue.

Jiang Lan didn't force her to do anything. She would commit herself to him because she wanted to use his power to deal with Yingzhao Dojo and get revenge.

The mutual love between the two of them can be regarded as a failed transaction at best, and it can't even be said to be hateful.

If I were to express hatred, I would only hate Yingzhao Dojo and myself...

"Then what are you going to do now? Will you continue to take revenge on Yingzhao Dojo?" Jiang Lan asked.

Hanjing was completely stunned when he heard this and didn't know how to answer for a while.

She just felt that she became very confused and didn't know what to do...

Since her husband Zhou Yuan was not killed by Yingzhao Dojo, what is the point of her revenge?

"I don't want to do anything, and I can't do anything." Hanjing said bitterly. She only complained about why she wanted to see this jade communication talisman, and why she didn't cherish herself so much.

"Since you love him so much and know that he is still alive, why not go and see him?"

Jiang Lan sighed softly as if he knew what she was thinking.

Hanjing kept shaking his head and kept saying, "No, I can't let him see me now. I am no longer qualified to stand in front of him. I am no longer qualified..."

"You became like this because you wanted to avenge him. If he can't accept you now, then what does your dedication and hard work over the years mean?"

"If you are so persistent in avenging someone, then I think this person must be worthy of you." Jiang Lan looked at her and spoke in a gentle tone.

Hanjing was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Jiang Lan, who had always been tough and domineering towards him, would suddenly say such comforting words.

Moreover, these words even touched her heart.

"Chan'er, go to her hometown for Hanjing and help her meet Zhou Yuan. If it's not convenient for you to show up, you can take a look in secret."

"If this person is unreliable, then there is no need to tell him Hanjing's whereabouts. If he is reliable, let him come over."

Jiang Lan looked at Chu Chan, who seemed to be cleaning up the palace behind her, but was actually listening to the gossip, and ordered.

Chu Chan didn't expect that Jiang Lan would suddenly give her orders, so she hurriedly put down the things in her hands and replied, "It's the young master, Chan'er understands."

She understood Jiang Lan's implication. If Zhou Yuan was unreliable, then ignore it. If he was reliable, then tell him where Hanjing was and let the two of them meet?

It seems that he plans to give Zhou Yuan some tests?

Hanjing didn't expect that Jiang Lan would help him decide like this, but would it be too arbitrary and direct?

She still wanted to see Zhou Yuan's changes over the years with her own eyes, and wanted to know how he would view himself now.

"Holy Son, I want to go with Miss Chu Chan. Of course, I won't show up..." she requested hurriedly.

"If love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night? You will see the person you want to see sooner or later, so why should you be anxious."

"Of course, if you don't care, I won't stop you. I just don't want to see a woman like you who is so affectionate end up paying the wrong person."

"People's hearts are fickle and they easily betray their loved ones." Jiang Lan shook his head gently.
