In An Shigeng's heart, Ji Yaohua is undoubtedly a substitute for Diewu. Since she is a substitute, he will not really fall in love with Ji Yaohua. His feelings for Ji Yaohua are more of a deformed desire to control her.
Under An Shigeng's manipulation, Ji Yaohua and Ruyan and others from the Penglai Ninja Sect began to work for the An family, eliminating dissidents and suppressing opponents. The power under An Shigeng was officially formed.
"Why, why did you betray me?"
An Shigeng questioned Ji Yaohua with gritted teeth. Ji Yaohua's betrayal made the already crazy An Shigeng even more crazy.
The hair that had been combed meticulously was now in a mess, which would never happen on An Shigeng, who had a mysophobia.
"There has never been any loyalty, so how can there be any betrayal?" Ji Yaohua breathed slightly and quickly, and her voice was not steady, with a slight tremor of ambiguity.
The longer people stay in the darkness, the more they yearn for light.
"I want to walk my own path in the future, and I want to write my own stories in the future." Ji Yaohua certainly has no possibility to write her own stories. Wu Ming's shadow will always appear in her stories from now on. However, compared with An Shigeng, Ji Yaohua wants to choose Wu Ming more. This man is more domineering than An Shigeng, but domineering is not crazy. In her eyes, An Shigeng is often a complete lunatic.
If you stay with a moody person for a long time, you will only suffer.
Listening to Ji Yaohua's words, An Shigeng was stimulated and devilish spirit emerged in his eyes. At this moment, Ji Yaohua's face, which had been trying to be calm, suddenly became unusually red. The redness was too strong and her expression could not change without her will.
The next moment, Ji Yaohua's snow-white neck was raised high, trembled slightly a few times, and then fell softly, with her chin resting on her arm again, and a pink breath filled the air.
Ruyan, who was standing aside, watched this scene, crossed her legs with some excitement and some awkwardness, with a charming light in her eyes.
An Shigeng's expression froze for a moment, and then he suddenly attacked in anger.
The fierce flames emitted a scorching temperature, as if they wanted to burn the three adults in the pool to death. However, this flame that seemed to be able to burn everything was blocked by an invisible barrier when it got within three inches of the hot spring pool.
Wu Ming moaned comfortably, took the bath towel handed to him by Ruyan, casually tied it around his waist, and gently caressed Ruyan's plumpness. Then, he walked out of the pool step by step under the flames.
The raging sea of fire dissipated in all directions with every step he took, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
"You are Wu Ming."
"It's me. Nice to meet you, Master An. Thank you for the beautiful women and fine wines, as well as for your countless contributions." Wu Ming grinned, but An Shigeng felt a chill all over at this moment. The feeling of uncertainty about life and death made him regain some of his rationality.
At this moment, he realized the gap between himself and Wu Ming. Facing Wu Ming's nonchalant punch, a trace of fear flashed in An Shigeng's eyes. Without hesitation, he used Fire Escape again, and his whole body turned into flames and disappeared in front of Wu Ming.
According to common sense, An Shigeng should have escaped at this point, but An Shigeng, who had slipped away from Wu Ming, reappeared in a corner of the secret room.
He pressed the mechanism quickly, and with the sound of the secret door opening and closing, a black iron box appeared in front of An Shigeng.
An Shigeng couldn't wait to pick up the iron box, and was about to use fire escape again. However, the weight of the iron box in his hand made his expression change drastically.
"Master An is looking for these two things." Wu Ming's voice came, accompanied by a sarcastic chuckle between his words. The thing in his hand was the treasure that An Shigeng was determined to take away at the risk of his life.
A strange book from a ghost den and the demon's relics.
These two things are An Shigeng's greatest confidence.
However, the mechanisms in the secret room of his An Mansion were not hidden at all and were difficult for ordinary people to find. But for Wu Ming, who had the Purple Demonic Eyes, it was easy for him to detect them.
An Shigeng looked at Wu Ming with hatred in his eyes, but he did not act impulsively. Instead, he became more sober. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
The most urgent thing to do is to escape.
But just as he was about to use the same trick again, he found that the light energy around his body became as heavy as a mountain. Let alone performing the Fire Escape Technique, it was difficult for him to even move his fingers.
A noisy sound came from outside the secret passage. Wu Ming flashed in front of An Shigeng and punched down with his mysterious, heavy fist. An Shigeng was completely killed.
When he turned around again, Ji Yaohua and Ruyan had already put on their clothes, and all the moisture on their bodies had been evaporated by their internal energy.

Chapter 29: Re-entering Wu Zhao
"Hey! Lord Wu, Miss Ji, you two are here?"
"An Shigeng...?"
"When Lord Wu and I were rushing to the palace, we happened to run into An Shigeng who had escaped from the palace. The situation was urgent at the time, so we chased him and followed him here."
"An Shigeng seemed to have been seriously injured. He fell down without much effort, which saved us a lot of effort." Ji Yaohua's face was red, and it seemed that she had indeed experienced a great battle. As for why Wu Ming was calm and composed, that was even easier to explain. A grandmaster fighting against a grandmaster, how could you expect him to catch his breath?
“Dead...!” Tie Shou walked over to check and stated his conclusion.
"He is dead. He must have used some martial arts that consumed a lot of his energy before, but I didn't do anything." Wu Ming shook his head helplessly. With his strength, he could naturally give An Shigeng a death without any injury. In addition, An Shigeng had used fire escape many times before and his energy was exhausted long ago. No matter who checked An Shigeng's body, they could only come to one conclusion, that is, he died of exhaustion and hidden injuries.
"That's true!" Tie Shou was experienced and could naturally judge that Wu Ming's statement was consistent with An Shigeng's actual situation. Several people looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
With An Shigeng's death, the counterfeit currency case was solved, but the clues about the person behind him were cut off. It cannot be said that the case was completely solved, but there was no evidence.
Both the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates realized in the process of solving the case that the counterfeit currency case was caused by the shadow of the terrifying general Ling Luoshi.
The terrifying General Ling Luoshi is, of course, not a real general in the army. Ling Luoshi is the chief leader of the Great Alliance of Jianghu Forces and has countless masters under his command.
In addition, there are a few people who know that he is a follower of the Grand Marshal Changsun Wuji.
This world is not the Tang Dynasty in the conventional sense. Martial arts are flourishing, and many officials from aristocratic families have unclear relationships with underworld forces.
The royal family certainly did not support this, but no one had any evidence to prove who was really connected with whom, so in the end, they could only accept the attitude of acquiescence.
It is also for this reason that the royal family attaches equal importance to martial arts masters. Gangs such as The Bad Guys, Lijingmen, and Liushenmen are all composed of martial arts masters.
Martial arts have been integrated into every corner of the Tang Dynasty. Many ministers in the court are proficient in martial arts. Some come from Confucianism, some from Legalism, Military Science, etc.
Moreover, the emperor also practiced martial arts, but Li Zhi's talent was not high and his achievements in martial arts were very limited.
Wu Zhao remained a virgin until she was married to Wu Ming. There was a reason for this. In the Heavenly Demon Art, there is a martial art called Heavenly Demon Sound. Every time Li Zhi came to find Wu Zhao, he was bewitched by Heavenly Demon Sound. Every time the person who slept with Li Zhi was just a substitute in disguise.
The current Crown Prince Li Hong is nominally the son of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, but in fact he is not Wu Zetian's biological son.
But he was indeed Li Zhi's biological son.
It can be considered a form of surrogate birth, but no one knows exactly what it is.
The people of the Yingui Sect probably had some guesses, but they had no evidence, and no one would believe them. Wu Zhao had another opportunity, and she practiced the Heavenly Demonic Law in private, but in fact she had another inheritance, and she was always a master on the surface.
In January of this year, Li Zhi and Wu Zhao's second son was born and named Li Xian.
The person who gave birth to Li Xian was also that woman.
These were previously Wu Zhao's secrets alone, but now they are secrets between Wu Zhao and Wu Ming.
This world is a place where martial arts flourish and there are countless magical skills and secret techniques. Wu Zhao was extremely lucky and had amazing talent. With the help of the Li Tang royal family, she collected countless magical skills and held a lot of power in her hands.
Even Wu Ming only knew that Wu Zhao had the Red Shoes under her command and that Jing Wei's subordinates were captured.
But since there are red shoes, then the four organizations of white socks, blue clothes, black belts and invisible men may also be in the hands of Wu Zhao.
If Wu Zhao didn't tell her about these things, Wu Ming wouldn't ask, just like he wouldn't tell Wu Zhao that he was a time traveler, nor would he tell her that he had a system. Everyone has secrets.
For Yu Wuming, as long as Wu Zhao did not betray him, he would not betray Wu Zhao. The imperial power was like a floating cloud to him. Besides, even if he and Wu Zhao had a son in the future, the imperial power would still belong to his Wu family.
Wu Ming had already made this clear to Wu Zhao.
The affair between the two, if nothing unexpected happens, will be very stable.
The An family was raided and their seized properties amounted to millions of strings of cash, but this did not disgrace the An family's reputation as the God of Wealth.
Of course, although the money was considerable, it did not cause much commotion. This was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and the most prominent thing was the wealth.
I recall the heyday of the Yonghui era, when even small towns could house tens of thousands of households. The rice was fat and the corn was white, and both public and private granaries were well stocked. (Two words were changed, the original Kaiyuan was changed to Yonghui, borrowed here.)
This crooked poem refers to the Tang Dynasty at that time.
Li Zhi could not be considered a bad emperor. He was very diligent. When he first took the throne, he changed Li Shiming's practice of holding court once every three days to once every one day.
In the early period of Yonghui, Li Zhi was definitely a diligent and good emperor.
But whether it is good or not has nothing to do with Wu Ming. For Wu Ming, Li Zhi is the emperor now, but he may be an enemy in the future. It's because Wu Ming has... feelings with the queen.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s just serve the queen first!
In the Queen's bedroom, Wu Ming came again, taking the secret passage. Now, he was entering and exiting the honey passage.
After he was granted the Wu Mansion, whenever he went to see Wu Zhao, he always chose to go through secret passages. After all, she was... the queen, so naturally he had to do it secretly. Sooner or later, the fact that he could sleep with women would be exposed.
Therefore, from this moment on, he had to be careful about his influence and measure, so as to avoid being exposed in the future and being suspected by Li Zhi and causing trouble for him.
Even if there is no evidence, being suspected by an emperor is a very troublesome thing.
People should not be too unbridled. They should think about defeat before thinking about victory. This way, they can fight a hundred battles without danger. This is true for war and also for adultery.
"You bastard, you are so shameless to ask me to find a woman for you." Wu Zhao knelt in the middle of the big bed with her buttocks raised high. The only thing on her body was a gorgeous bellyband with gold-painted and embroidered phoenixes. The bellyband was very thin and could not restrain the majesty in front of her body. The white and tender fullness had already flowed out from the sides.
However, Wu Ming, who was immersed in his sprint, had no time to pay attention to such a beautiful scenery.
The woman's virginity could not be broken before the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demonic Law, but after the eighteenth level, all of her vagina seemed to be affected by the Heavenly Demonic Law.
It's really good at absorbing. It's worthy of being a magic martial art. This magic force field really has endless uses.
After a long time, there was a roar, and both of them fell on the bed, sweating profusely.
Wu Zhao moaned lazily a few times, then found a comfortable position and squeezed into Wu Ming's arms.
"What's the use of women or not? Please call them tools. I have a great use for those two female ninjas. I am researching a secret technique and need six women who practice ninjutsu to do experiments. Now I have gathered two of them. When I succeed in my research, I will come to you later. I can use the power of space to teleport myself directly here. From now on, our meeting will become safer." Wu Ming planned to create an image of an innovative genius for himself, so as to find an unreasonable but reasonable excuse for taking out the secret manual of magic skills from time to time in the future.
…………
Chapter 30: Heart to Heart
"So, you are doing this for my own good." Wu Zhao didn't believe Wu Ming's lies. She rolled her eyes coquettishly and opened Wu Ming's claws that were ready to move.
She just wanted to act unreasonably. If she continued like this, she felt like she would become Wu Ming's tool.
She is a queen, how can she be so shameless? It would be fine if she turned a blind eye to her man looking for a woman, but she had to help him find one. Isn't this bullying?
"Of course, just like the Four Lights Divine Art, wasn't it improved by me? I didn't have any skills at the beginning because I couldn't stand the disadvantage of the Four Lights Divine Art that I could only practice with a virgin body."
"You have to believe that I am a genius." While Wu Ming was speaking, he felt something coming again. He lifted one of Wu Zhao's legs and moved closer from behind again.
"Believe it... well... I didn't say I didn't believe it... you beast... either don't come for a few days, or keep making trouble when you come." Wu Zhao hummed with enjoyment.
"Isn't the purpose of life to struggle? You just talk tough. If you have the guts, make this one tough too." Wu Ming smiled and didn't stop communicating. He knew Wu Zhao liked it too.
"The Heavenly Demonic Technique also involves space. If you need it, I can teach you."
"Of course I need it. I am going to cultivate the Hundred Scriptures in the furnace and find my own way. I need a lot of martial arts secrets, not just the Heavenly Demonic Technique. As long as you have it, I need it all. Even if I can't use it, it can serve as a reference."
"It's not just me, it's the same for you. The power of this world belongs to yourself. You are already very strong now, but not strong enough. You must remember that if you want to hold power, your strength is the foundation."
Wu Ming was preaching in a earnest manner, but these words actually did not have much nutritional value. To Wu Zhao, they were probably not as good as the tube of soy milk that Wu Ming had just given her. But Wu Zhao just liked to listen to them, and Wu Ming knew that she liked them too.
Wu Zhao really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by the little man Wu Ming.
