Chapter 89 You Treat Me Like a Dog and Play with Me

Two capes.

One sheet is a quilt.

One is a mattress.

The space was not big to begin with, and the cold winter wind brought the two people even closer.

Bai Yuji couldn't sleep all night. She just lay on her side, watching the flickering flames on Qin Muye's face.

When the bonfire was about to go out, she got up and added some firewood, then continued to curl up in the quilt, sticking close to his body.

In fact, she also knew.

It was impossible that everything Qin Muye said to her was true.

But she could also feel that he really wanted to become a real couple with her.

And... every step he took was indeed helping himself.

Nanzhao was restored.

Kill Qin and expand territory to avenge him.

Let the remnants of Nanzhao live a good life.

These are his three wishes, but he is only willing to do one, but he is willing to do his best to do it well.

Bai Yuji spent the entire night thinking about how she reacted when she learned that Qin Muye was hunting beasts with the masters from the Diji Mansion.

At that time, I just felt my head buzzing.

The whole person seems to be falling into the deep sea.

She had never been so afraid of losing.

So on the way to escort her men, she caught a puppet dog and kept hitting its head, trying to contact Qin Muye.

Fortunately, we got in touch.

When she learned that they had obtained the totem source energy and were hiding in a long and narrow canyon, she would never forget the feeling of relief she felt in her life.

Bai Yuji thought for a long time.

I felt that I shouldn't have such feelings for my enemy's son.

But he also felt that he shouldn't have simply attributed Qin Muye to being "the son of his enemy."

She is conflicted.

The contradiction is that we both look forward to the future and fear the future.

According to the emperor's standards, Qin Muye's performance this time was very successful. If his prediction was correct, he should be able to gain a lot of power in the trade, and it is very likely that all the remaining people of Nanzhao would be able to pull themselves up from the poverty line.

Until then.

Do you still want revenge?
Or.

Am I worthy of revenge?
Or rather.

Do you still dare to take revenge?
Bai Yuji tried to answer these questions but she didn't dare to, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the tragic death of her family. She didn't know how to face her family a hundred years later if she didn't take revenge.

I don’t know how to tell my tribesmen that we will not seek revenge in the future.

She didn't even know how she could continue to be husband and wife with Qin Muye with peace of mind after everything was settled.

There were many questions that she couldn't figure out.

But she figured out some other issues.

"What are you thinking about?"

"what?"

Bai Yuji didn't expect Qin Muye to suddenly open his eyes, and quickly said, "I didn't think of anything?"

Qin Muye curled his lips: "I'm not thinking about anything. What are you doing with your little brows furrowed and your big eyes open?"

Bai Yuji quickly changed the subject: "You haven't slept for long, why did you suddenly wake up?"

"My waist hurts..."

"what?"

Bai Yuji didn't know whether to be ashamed or distressed, and said hesitantly: "Just say that you should be restrained, right? From now on, from now on..."

Qin Muye suddenly smiled: "Don't talk about the future, I'm kidding! Get up quickly and get ready to do some work!"

"What's the matter?"

Bai Yuji was a little confused, but when she heard footsteps coming in the distance, she quickly got up and put on her coat.

Soon.

Li Xingluo came over, took a look at Bai Yuji's rosy cheeks, and couldn't help but sigh: "The master and the princess have such a good relationship..."

Bai Yuji pretended not to understand and just turned her head to ask, "What are you doing?"

Qin Muye grinned: "Someone has found the totem source, it's not far away..."

Bai Yuji was immediately shocked: "You want to go too? It's too dangerous. I'll go with Miss Wu Lu."

Wu Lu is Li Xingluo's current pseudonym.

At first Qin Muye didn't understand what it meant, but later he remembered that the black pieces are like crows and the white pieces are like egrets. The black egret itself is an elegant name for chess pieces, which corresponds exactly to the stars. The real name and the pseudonym all match the fate.

Qin Muye saw that Bai Yuji was a little anxious, so he smiled and spread his hands: "If you go with her, won't I be in greater danger?"

Bai Yuji thought about it and it was true, but she was still a little worried: "Those geniuses of the demon race have the guidance of the Great Saint Temple behind them. They must advance and retreat together. It may not be that easy to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, right?"

"Not afraid!"

Li Xingluo drew out his sword with a clang: "I will use this battle to prove my worth to the Lord and Princess!"

Bai Yuji: "..."

Qin Muye: “…”

After putting on the vest, you don’t have any of the burden of being an imperial princess!
……

There is no time limit for the imperial examinations of all races.

It will only end when there are only a hundred people left in the secret realm.

However, if the totem source energy is not obtained within seven days, it will be refined by the ferocious beasts in the secret realm.

long time.

So most people will not stay on the casting platform to watch the battle.

But there must be someone watching the battle on the weapon casting platform.

Especially for those whose blood pressure soars, even if they take drugs to replace sleep, they have to keep an eye on the situation inside at all times.

Anyway, someone has already broken through the defense.

The more Shen Luo looked, the more he felt something was wrong. He took advantage of the dawn when everyone around him was the most sleepy and ran back to the prime minister's residence.

At this time, Shen Kui had just got up.

He was wearing his bathrobe and practicing health-preserving boxing in the courtyard.

"father!"

"..."

"I feel like something is not right!"

"..."

"Inside the secret realm..."

"Look, I'm in a hurry!"

Shen Kui criticized him and continued boxing.

Shen Luo knew that he was becoming impatient again, so he could only suppress his anxiety and continue waiting.

After a long time, Shen Qi finally stopped.

Shen Luo quickly snatched the tray from the maid next to him and served her tea and hot towel.

Shen Kui wiped the sweat off his forehead slowly, sipped his tea comfortably, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"I think……"

Shen Luo looked a little serious: "Someone is fanning the flames of this imperial examination."

Shen Kui looked at him with a half-smile: "Who is fanning the flames? Whose flames are they fanning?"

Shen Luo took a deep breath and recounted what he had seen, and finally concluded: "The one who fanned the flames was undoubtedly Qin Muye. Those aristocratic children were just picking on the weak, and they didn't say that they had to eliminate the civilian students.

As a result, after Qin Muye's puppet took action, he created the illusion that civilian candidates were being targeted and suppressed.

Now the two sides are fighting fiercely, making it seem as if the wealthy families are completely opposed to them.

I also heard a military general from the Cui family curse his nephew as a lackey of a corrupt official.

I cursed a few times and then got so angry that I just stopped watching. ”

Shen Kui smiled and said, "So what do you think, is Qin Muye just adding fuel to the fire or adding fuel to the fire?"

Shen Luo: “…”

Ignition means there was no fire originally.

Adding firewood and blowing air means that fire already exists.

The conflict between common people and aristocrats has a long history. The disaster that almost destroyed Daqian was caused by the unfair imperial examination system.

Later, civil and military examinations were separated, fraud in the civil examinations was strictly investigated, and the imperial court opened more county schools despite the fiscal deficit.

In this way, even though the children of aristocratic families had the advantage of family education, many official positions were taken by commoners, which stabilized the court and the country.

As for the military examination, although there were many talented commoners who emerged, the "poor in literature and rich in martial arts" was still the reserve of talented people from aristocratic families.

Later, the martial arts examination was changed into an imperial examination for all races, and the evil officials took away a number of places, so the competition for places became more intense. However, before, the competitions were all held in the arena, so nothing was shown.

this time.

It can also be said that it is aimed at civilian students.

You could say that he simply likes to pick on the weak.

Opposition exists.

After the evil officials entered the court, their attitudes in the officialdom and on the battlefield were completely different, which led to divisions within the aristocratic families. It was simply that the military generals from the aristocratic families did not perform well, so their voices were not loud.

The military general who scolded his nephews and nephews for being lackeys today is definitely not an isolated case.

Seeing Shen Luo silent.

Shen Kui smiled and asked, "Guess who instructed Qin Muye to do this?"

"Di Ji?"

Shen Luo was under a lot of pressure. This script was too familiar. It was just like the last Qin Yanying case.

Qin Yanying, who killed the relatives of the evil official, got nothing wrong.

Hu Huan only temporarily withheld the demon pill and studied transformation.

Instead, those who spoke for Hu Huan were paraded through the streets and imprisoned.

He asked in a deep voice: "Then Dad, what should we do?"

Shen Kui did not answer the two questions, but asked in return: "Is this move directed at you?"

"no!"

"Then why are you asking what to do?"

"Ah! We are not..."

Shen Luo was a little confused and wanted to ask, aren’t the wealthy and powerful families our basic base?
Shen Kui interrupted with a serious expression: "You have to remember! Dad is not the prime minister of His Majesty, not the prime minister of the Crown Prince, not the prime minister of the wealthy family, and not the prime minister of the evil official, but... the prime minister of Daqian!"

Shen Luo felt like his head was about to burn: "Dad! I don't understand what you mean."

Shen Kui was not angry, he just patted his shoulder and said, "You don't need to understand what Dad means. Read more history books and sage books you have read in the past, and you will have your own answers."

Shen Luo: “…”

He still couldn't figure out which side his most respected father was on.

But he still nodded solemnly.

He took a deep breath and went out again.

When I went out, I found Shen Jin's carriage parked at the door, and it was shaking constantly. I could hear Shen Jin's voice from inside: "Oh hiss... You snakes are so good at swallowing!"

Shen Luo: “…”

He became even more confused, not knowing what his father's stance was.

That's why he does things this way, teaches himself this way, and indulges his youngest son this way.

He shook his head and hurried towards the weapon casting platform.

by the time.

The Weapon Foundry was deathly silent.

He looked around and found that everyone was silent, staring at the jade disc. Puzzled, he sat next to Xiong Qian and asked in a low voice: "Master Xiong, what happened?"

Xiong Qian's expression was quite interesting. He lowered his voice and said, "The third strand of totem energy has appeared. Guess who discovered it?"

Shen Luo thought for a moment and said, "Those geniuses from the demon race, they evacuated the battlefield the fastest."

Xiong Qian asked again: "Then guess who got the totem energy in the end."

Shen Luo: “…”

He looked at the jade disc suddenly, but could only find two clouds of mist. There were three strands of totem source energy, but only two clouds of mist.

Looking again, those evil officials all had drooping faces.

No?

He was confused: "What kind of monster is that in the Emperor's Mansion?"

He doesn't understand.

The last time the masters from the Princess Di's Mansion forced back more than a dozen geniuses from the demon clan, there was certainly a factor of deterrence due to their strength.

But that was just a guess as to their mentality of wanting the totem source energy more. No one thought that the master from the Princess's Mansion could win in a life-and-death fight.

But now, we want to grab the totem source energy?
What’s the difference between this and asking for the lives of those masters?
These geniuses from the demon race, just let the person go?
Xiong Qian chuckled and said, "You can't blame her too much. The location of those geniuses from the demon race was discovered by the puppet dogs, and then Qin Muye quietly transferred all the puppet teams over there.

The puppet dog sneaked into the key place and poisoned the arrows, probably to launch a sneak attack.

The humanoid puppet and the expert from the Princess's Mansion all wore bamboo hats, and it was impossible to tell who was who. "

"and then?"

"Then the area was shrouded in fog. After the fog drifted away, only those geniuses from the demon race were left going crazy in the same place."

"..."

Shen Luo rubbed his head. These people were really geniuses. It was really difficult to defend against a bunch of people whose identities could not be identified rushing out at the critical moment.

Xiong Qian smiled and said, "But this move can't be used many times. In this wave of attacks, Qin Muye lost a lot of puppets, and many geniuses of the demon clan were also forced out of the secret realm by poison arrows."

Shen Luo nodded and could only watch the fight quietly.

But the situation that followed was far beyond his expectations.

The geniuses of the demon clan quickly found another fourth-grade peak ferocious beast, but did not take action immediately. Instead, they invested a huge amount of money to set up a large floating mine array within a five-mile radius. Any puppet made of metal that came in would be blasted into scrap metal.

However, this time, Qin Muye seemed to have given up the idea of ​​sitting back and reaping the benefits, and transferred all the remaining puppets to fight in the jungle.

In this way, the geniuses of the demon clan obtained the first ray of totem source energy, and then found a safe place, leaving a group of experts to protect it, while the rest continued to search.

But after another day of jungle fighting on the main battlefield, big problems soon arose.

There was a big conflict among the children of the aristocratic families. The specific content of the quarrel is unknown, but many people simply crushed their jade pendants and withdrew from the imperial examination.

When someone went to ask, they found out that they were very angry as they had become the lackeys of the demon clan for no apparent reason.

He clearly didn't commit any serious crime, but he had to bear the same stigma as Cui Han and was killed like a dog by the Annan Guards.

I can't stand this injustice.

I can't afford to lose this person.

So I quit.

This group of people retreated.

Qin Mingri and Annanwei also retreated and officially embarked on the journey of searching for the totem source qi.

The scout masters of Annanwei were very strong. They took advantage of the situation on the first night and triggered the entire floating thunder array. They were so scared that they were sweating all over. They quickly retreated and found a place to recuperate while the geniuses of the demon clan were too busy to take action.

then.

Qin Muye and the master from Diji Mansion successfully launched another sneak attack.

The geniuses of the demon clan were completely enraged and felt that it would be easier to snatch back the totem source energy they had won than to snatch it from the mouths of ferocious beasts.

So they started a relentless pursuit.

One side escaped.

One party chases.

Finally, Qin Muye and his men fled to Annanwei to recuperate.

The gap in strength between the two sides suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, if the jade token is ineffective within a radius of one mile, it can really kill people, so no one dares to really do it.

Fortunately, Qin Muye advocated peace and took the initiative to state that he had enough totem source energy, and that all his puppets had been lost and he would not steal their things anymore.

The geniuses of the demon clan then retreated.

to the back.

As expected, Qin Muye did not appear again, but Qin Mingri obviously had ideas about the totem source energy and led the Annan Guards to launch several sneak attacks.

Although the geniuses of the demon clan defeated Annanwei time and time again and obtained three strands of totem source energy in succession, they suffered casualties every time because of the heavy losses they suffered before.

Therefore, when the guardian beast of the last ray of totem source energy was found, there were only three fourth-grade masters left.

They won the victory with difficulty and were about to induce the ferocious beast to vomit out and take away the totem source energy.

The expert named "Wu Lu" from the Princess's Mansion appeared again, and this time she was not even with Qin Muye.

She had rested for a few days and her fighting power was at its peak.

The three demon geniuses looked at each other's wounded bodies and finally chose to leave tacitly.

Wu Lu looked as if she was unworthy of the gift, and frantically tried to keep them: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't leave. If you leave, I will think that you are giving me the totem source energy, right? If you really leave, I will feel embarrassed."

……

On the casting platform.

All the evil officials were silent.

Of the nine strands of totem energy, the demon clan only got four.

The Qin family and the Princess's Mansion received five strands.

This was really hard for them to accept, as they were clearly overwhelming in terms of the number of experts.

But they had to accept it.

An absurdly powerful young master appeared in the Princess's Mansion.

The Annan Guards were terrifyingly strong in the chaos of battle.

And that large number of puppets...

There are too many things beyond our control. It seems like there is a big hand behind the scenes that combines these "accidents" into a perfect plan.

Sometimes they even felt that it was a miracle among miracles for the Demon Officials Group to obtain four strands of totem source energy.

So whose hand is this?

Their eyes were fixed on the thick fog on the jade disk.

Anyone can see that the cooperation between the Emperor's Mansion and the Qin family has reached perfection.

Who else but the princess is controlling everything behind the scenes?
Many people present felt a chill down their spines. Although the princess and the prince had fought openly and secretly in the past, they were still a long way from revealing their true colors.

But who knew that the princess has been so high-profile recently.

The first time he drew his sword, he shocked the entire Daqian!

She has under her command the top masters of the younger generation, a puppeteer who is considered to be beyond the heavens, and the Qin family, who is regarded as the most powerful lord in the southwest, as an ally.

This……

"Your Majesty is here!"

"Oh..."

Everyone present stood up quickly and bowed to the gradually stopping imperial chariot: "Long live the emperor!"

The emperor was in poor health and, except for the morning court sessions once every five days, he spent all his time in Yongqing Palace handling government affairs and rarely left the palace.

When envoys from various states arrived, he did not show up.

When the imperial examination for all races began, he did not show up.

Now that the imperial examination of all races is about to end, he finally shows up.

"Everyone is safe!"

Li Hong's voice was still warm and easy-going, but his expression didn't seem as calm and natural as usual.

With the help of Eunuch Hong, he slowly walked up to the weapon casting platform.

The examiner quickly stepped back and asked him to take the high seat.

Li Hong glanced at the jade disk and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, please don't be restrained. Please take your seats!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers who came to watch the battle took their seats one after another.

Then, the Weapon Casting Platform fell silent.

Until a quarter of an hour later...

"boom!"

A vortex like a giant eye suddenly appeared in the air.

The next moment, the space seemed to be distorted.

When things returned to normal, there were exactly one hundred candidates covered in scars and a large amount of scrap metal on the casting platform.

The chief examiner quickly stepped forward and read out with a smile: "Congratulations to you all. You have passed the imperial examination of all races. It is your honor to become the emperor's disciples. It is the honor of Daqian to have you all."

The candidates gathered their spirits and bowed respectfully to Li Hong: "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you!"

Li Hong smiled gently and said, "Gentlemen, please do not be restrained. Please sit down and the imperial physician will treat you."

Wait for everyone to sit down.

He then looked at the chief examiner standing beside him and said, "Mr. Feng, you are the chief examiner for this exam. Who performed the most amazingly in this exam?"

Feng Shicai hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty! The number of jade tokens broken by each candidate has not yet been counted."

Li Hong smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter who ranks, you just need to say who performed the most amazingly!"

Feng Shicai hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it is a female official named Wu Lu. Her cultivation is unmatched among the younger generation, and her tactics and strategies are amazing."

Hearing the name of Wu Lu.

Qin Mingri's face suddenly turned dark. Although he had enhanced the military power of the southwest this time, he himself got nothing.

You have to bear all the sins yourself. The totem source energy was taken by Qin Muye and that Wu Lu.

In the end, what impressed the examiner the most was the black heron?
Besides cheating her allies and picking up bargains everywhere, what else can this woman do?
He was just unwilling to accept it.

Li Hong smiled and searched: "Oh? Feng Qing said so, I am curious, where is the black heron?"

No one on the field responded.

after awhile.

Qin Muye stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Wu Lu had a problem with her training. She gave up her power an hour ago, crushed the jade token, and went home to recuperate."

Everyone: "..."

No?

Who is this humiliating?

Li Hong didn't seem to think much about it. He just said it was a pity and asked again: "Feng Qing! Who is the second most amazing person?"

Feng Shicai pondered for a while and looked at Qin Mingri: "Your Majesty! It's Qin Mingri, the third son of the Qin family. He..."

"I know!"

Li Hong smiled and waved at Qin Mingri: "Qin Aiqing, come to the front!"

Qin Mingri was stunned for a moment, and could no longer suppress the smile on his face. He thought to himself that Feng Shicai was not blind, and then he happily stepped forward to pay his respects.

Li Hong smiled: "After thinking about it, the only human warriors who can be called the backbone of Daqian are the Annan Zhuyi Army. Qin Aiqing really has the style of his father. In front of the Annan Guards led by you, not only are all the border armies pale in comparison, but even my imperial guards are like useless people. It's hard for you to travel thousands of miles."

Qin Ming was quite pleased to hear this.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face turned pale with fright.

He fell to his knees with a plop, and his voice became shrill because of fear: "Your Majesty! All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects. Whether I am a humble official or my father, we are all your majesty's subjects! Whether we are the Imperial Guards or the Exorcist Army, we are all your majesty's soldiers!"

He fell to his knees, trembling all over.

When the situation is critical, he knows how to speak.

But after I said it, my mind went blank.

The faces of all the Annan guards changed drastically, and they all knelt on the ground.

The other ministers also looked at each other in bewilderment.

This time, Annanwei showed his strong qualities.

Is the emperor finally starting to be wary?
