Chapter 162: Incompetent husband, arrogant and lonely woman

Chapter 162: Incompetent husband, arrogant and lonely woman

The conversation between the adoptive father and daughter is quite heartwarming.

Just a few words.

The temple priests were certain that, apart from the Demon King, no other demon could catch the eye of the Crown Princess.

Including the prince!

The Demon King smiled gently, "Jin'er! The mission to the capital of Qian Kingdom is quite arduous and it is not easy to complete. We have many powerful demons under our command. Once the temple priests break through a few of them and directly enslave the small border countries, it is not impossible to confront Qian Kingdom head-on.

If you are really in trouble, you can come back early and prepare for marriage with Qi'er."

Ao Jin smiled slightly: "Godfather! Your strength is unrivaled in the world, and all the monsters in the world yearn for you. But you disdain to learn the human race's method of fooling the people, and always use benefits to make them submit sincerely.

But if we want to fight a tough battle, there may be cowards who will abandon us.

So I think that unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best to use political means to make Qian Kingdom surrender.

This will better protect your reputation."

These remarks made the Old Demon King quite satisfied.

He immediately smiled and looked at the temple priests: "Jin'er's life in Kyoto depends entirely on your assistance. No matter what she wants to do, you must do your best to help her. Do you hear me?"

"……Yes!"

The temple priests all bowed, but their tone was not firm.

Because... they all noticed the prince's increasingly gloomy expression.

It is well known that the Demon King values ​​his adopted daughter. Although Ao Jin will definitely return to the new King in the end, offering the Dragon Pill for dual cultivation, he will support the new King's rise.

But there is also a difference between sooner and later.

The demon clan and the Qian Kingdom have been in a stalemate for more than 20 years and are now at a critical moment.

If Ao Jin joins the game and continues to perform well in battle, then the consummation of the marriage and dual cultivation will have to be postponed until the day when the dust settles.

It is clear.

The prince was unwilling to wait.

But there is nothing we can do.

Because the old demon king trusts Ao Jin, even though he just said that they can fight a tough battle, if they fight a tough battle, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

The greater the casualties, the greater the damage to the old demon king's prestige.

If the war is fought halfway, the cost will reach an unbearable level and may even backfire on the old demon king.

of course.

The probability of this happening is not very high.

However, the old Demon King wanted to consolidate the supreme status of the Demon King Palace, so he preferred a safer strategy.

only……

Seeing the prince's increasingly gloomy expression, they couldn't help but start to think.

Everyone knows that the prince is narrow-minded, and no matter how well Ao Jin performs, he will ultimately only be a foil to the new Demon King.

If I fully assist Ao Jin at this time, I will probably suffer the consequences in the future.

I saw that the temple priests had strange expressions.

The old demon king frowned slightly: "Why? Are you unwilling?"

The big ape coughed softly and said, "Master Demon King, it's not that we don't want to, but we are stupid and can't understand the Crown Princess's idea. The Emperor built the Immortal City to get rid of the lower-level demon officials. We should do our best to stop it, but the Crown Princess wants to let it go."

Ao Jin asked back: "The Second Temple Master has been in charge of the Great Saint Temple for many years, so he should know how difficult life is for the lower-level demon officials. This time the emperor has offered a huge benefit. Even if you try your best to stop it, how much can you stop?"

The big ape was frightened by her powerful aura and felt a little uncomfortable.

But he still said with a stiff upper lip: "We'll stop as many as we can, it's better than waiting to be killed."

Ao Jin smiled faintly: "What if I can use these low-level demon officials to control Li Zhixuan?"

"What!?"

All the temple priests were shocked. They didn't expect Ao Jin to make such a boast.

Even the old demon king was quite surprised: "Jin'er, are you serious?"

Ao Jin said proudly: "Of course I take it seriously!"

Seeing that the prince looked unhappy.

The big ape coughed lightly and said, "Crown Princess, the news about the Immortal City has already spread. The Emperor has no intention of letting Li Zhixuan intervene. He doesn't even have the qualifications to recruit demon officials. How can you control him?"

Ao Jin asked back: "What if I can change the emperor's mind?"

Great Ape: “!?!?!?”

The temple priests looked at each other in bewilderment.

He experienced the imperial examinations of all races, the Daqian military exercises, and the relics of the gods one after another.

The princess's prestige was at its peak, but the prince's prestige had been declining. Apart from a surge in his reputation before the New Year by reforming the system of recommending officials, he had no other outstanding political achievements.

Now Ao Jin boasted that he could change the emperor's mind.

Did you make a mistake?
We have been operating in Kyoto for many years.

It's not you!

The old demon king was quite surprised: "Jin'er, can you really do it?"

What the demon clan hopes most now is internal strife among the human race. They don't want to see a situation where the princess is strong and the prince is weak.

It would be best if they each raised their own armies and attacked each other in the end. Then the Demon King Palace would be able to easily dismember the Central Plains.

Ao Jin smiled faintly and said a familiar number: "At least 90% sure!"

The temple priests looked at each other in bewilderment.

The old demon king couldn't help but laugh: "Good! Good, good, good!"

Ao Jin changed the subject: "But foster father, I have a request."

The old demon king laughed and said, "You say!"

Ao Jin glanced at the temple priests and said, "If this matter can be accomplished, I will be in charge of the Great Sage Order. Otherwise, the monster will hold us back."

As soon as these words came out.

The faces of the temple priests suddenly became extremely wonderful.

The Great Sage Order is a token that only the head of the Great Sage Temple is qualified to hold. It represents the highest will of the Great Sage Temple. It was bestowed by Li Hong when he knew that he could not control the Great Sage Temple. On the premise of not violating the will of the court, he can exercise the power to promote, demote and dispatch all demon officials.

For example, Ao Jin's position as Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple was a power granted by the Great Sage Order.

The emperor didn't care which temple priest held the Great Sage Order, but it was usually held by the great ape.

Now...are you trying to seize power!?

The Crown Princess was obviously very dissatisfied with their actions in helping the Crown Prince.

After taking office, he wanted to seize power directly at the first meeting?
The big ape panicked: "Master Demon King..."

The old demon king laughed and said, "Great Ape, if Jin'er can really do this, it would be fine to give her the Great Sage Order, right?"

Great Ape: “???”

He looked at the prince, hoping that he would say something fair.

As a result, the prince pretended not to see it.

This act completely fascinated him.

Ao Jin smiled faintly and said, "Then foster father, is this matter settled?"

The old demon king nodded: "It's settled! Jin'er, don't let me down."

next moment.

The light curtain melts away.

The back hall of the Great Sage Temple suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Ao Jin slowly stood up and glanced at the temple priests indifferently: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I will go to rest first."

The temple priests were either silent or smiling awkwardly.

She stopped talking and turned into golden light and left.

The back hall was silent for a long time.

Jin Ni couldn't help but ask, "Does she really have that ability?"

The great ape remained silent.

Black Turtle said slowly: "We have been in Kyoto for so long, but we can't influence the emperor's decision. She has only been here for a few days, so she shouldn't be able to do it either."

Jin Ni was somewhat suspicious: "I heard that the dragon clan has many magical skills. Could it be that she wants to control someone and whisper in the emperor's ears?"

The big ape shook his head and said, "No one who is qualified to whisper in the emperor's ear is easy to deal with. Moreover, the emperor has a sharp eye. It is probably harder than ascending to heaven to control people silently under his nose."

The temple priests looked at each other, not knowing what Ao Jin was up to.

All I can say is that this Crown Princess is too strong.

On the contrary, the prince...

Don't talk about it!

We're here for you.

As a result, when the enemy tried to seize our tiger talisman, you didn't even say a word.

It would be fine if Ao Jin couldn't succeed, but if he succeeded...

Let it be accomplished!

Anyway, the Demon King Palace will belong to Qiwu in the future, so just hold on until the new emperor takes the throne.

Unless Ao Jin can kill the old demon king.

If practiced normally, it might not be impossible with the dragon bloodline.

It’s a pity that Ao Jin’s dragon pill has been locked by a secret method. Even her original body can only practice breathing exercises ten feet away from the dragon pill.

Even if Ao Jin really wanted to kill the old demon king, he couldn't cultivate to that level.

The other end.

A faint smile appeared on Ao Jin's lips.

The first step to getting something for nothing.

success!

Compared to the "wisdom" of human beings, she worships supreme power more.

Unfortunately.

She doesn't have the power to crush everything yet.

Moreover, once you enter the human territory, you can only play by the human rules.

Just like the Great Sage Temple, those monsters inside used to fight each other at the slightest disagreement, but now they are fighting honestly for "rights" and "status"?
If he wanted to fight for the dignity of the dragon clan, he had to face the situation of being isolated.

Without power and without money, what else can you do except "wisdom"?
of course.

Ao Jin prefers to call "cleverness" deception.

And there is another word in the human language that is more appropriate to describe one's own behavior.

Whore!

I have already won the right to compete for the Great Sage Order.

Now, it's time to go to the next thing.

……

East Palace.

Li Zhixuan paced back and forth anxiously.

He heard about the fairy city several days ago.

But after waiting for a long time, his father showed no intention of letting him supervise the construction.

Four fairy cities.

Not a single one belongs to you?

If it doesn’t belong to me, then it can only belong to Li Xingluo?

He knew very well that the person who supervised the construction of such a huge project that would benefit people all over the world would surely gain extremely high prestige.

If all the consequences fell on Li Xingluo, he would just resign from the position of crown prince on his own accord.

A few days ago, he was extremely confused and didn't understand why Li Xingluo suddenly became so important.

Although Qin Muye stole the show in the Daqian military exercise.

But the greatest prestige came from the command and military discipline of the Annan faction!
But today, he understood.

Grooved!
Li Xingluo!
You are really good at picking up broken shoes!

They just got divorced and you took over seamlessly. You will do anything to get the throne!

My father promised to allow me to pursue Qin Mingyu so that I could control the entire Qin family, but Qin Mingyu was extremely perfunctory to me.

The result just turned around.

Li Xingluo is going to marry Qin Muye.

There is no chance for me to marry into the Qin family.

There is no place for me in the four fairy cities!
How can I not be crazy?
Li Zhixuan's eyes went darker and darker, but his mother, who was the most open and confidant to him, had been confined by his father.

He does have a few good advisers under his command, but the morale of the prince's party has been unstable recently, and many of them want to change their allegiance. If they could see how anxious he is, they would probably want to run away.

It will take some days.

At least I have to get my spirits in good shape before I go to see them.

As for now...

Wait!
Li Zhixuan was waiting for someone, or to be more precise, a dragon.

He paced back and forth, and suddenly he felt a flash of golden light before his eyes.

Turning around quickly, I saw a noble and extremely cool young woman sitting in the main seat drinking tea.

"You came!"

"Ah."

Ao Jin said calmly: "Your Highness, have you considered it?"

Li Zhixuan was a little annoyed: "You only said you could help me, but you never told me how to help me. How can I trust you? Father has always intended to distance himself from the evil officials. Now that he is close to you, isn't that courting death?"

Ao Jin smiled faintly: "Your Highness may have forgotten that the upper-middle level evil officials who are idle and waste military funds are not the same as the lower-level evil officials who are down-to-earth and do their work. His Majesty the Emperor will not reject me, on the contrary, he will win me over."

Li Zhixuan snorted coldly: "How can you represent the lower demon officials? Do you have the Great Sage Order? If I remember correctly, the Great Sage Order has always been in the hands of the big monkey, right? I don't remember him wanting to separate the upper and lower demon officials."

Ao Jin said calmly: "I am a member of the dragon clan. The Great Sage Order is easy for me to obtain. Your Highness is questioning even this matter?"

Li Zhixuan: "..."

Although Ao Jin's motives seem strange, it feels very convincing!
This woman only needs to sit there to give the impression that her words are law.

How could the dragons lie?
He was a little annoyed. The woman in front of him was too noble, and he could no longer tell who was from the royal family.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "How are you going to help me? Father hasn't even informed me about supervising the construction of the Immortal City yet."

"Oh? Hasn't Qin Kaijiang come to see you yet?"

Ao Jin looked like he had everything under control, but he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Pu Minglong kept saying that Qin Kaijiang would definitely help Li Zhixuan, but Qin Kaijiang has not made any move so far.

If something goes wrong in this link, all your plans will fail.

If this is true, then the leader of the Stealing Heaven Pavilion deserves to die.

Hearing Qin Kaijiang's name.

Li Zhixuan became more and more angry: "He is planning to let Qin Muye become his consort, how could he come to help me?"

Ao Jin narrowed his eyes and was about to say something.

But suddenly he sensed someone approaching, made a gesture to keep quiet, and his figure quickly disappeared into the air.

Li Zhixuan thought she had run away and was about to curse.

But at this moment.

The doorman's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Highness! Someone is looking for you at the back door."

Li Zhixuan frowned slightly: "Who?"

The concierge replied: "She said her name was Qin Mingxin."

"Qin..."

Li Zhixuan was stunned for a moment, then showed an ecstatic look: "Please come in!"

He had previously shown concern for Qin Mingyu, and although Qin Mingyu had been perfunctory in her responses, she had inadvertently revealed a lot about the situation at home.

Qin Mingxin is You Tianjiao's third child.

Although her status is not as high as Qin Mingyu's, she and Qin Mingri are not twins.

But having followed You Tianjiao since childhood, he has truly grown up with Qin Mingri and just turned sixteen this year.

Judging from the time, the matter of the Immortal City had just been settled, and she rushed to Kyoto at full speed.

So, what did she want to do here?
Li Zhixuan had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to think too much.

After a while.

A pretty girl came over quickly and said, "My name is Qin Mingxin, nice to meet your Highness!"

"Be clear-minded and don't be too polite!"

Li Zhixuan hurried forward to help: "You must be tired after the long journey, come inside and do it!"

Faced with his support, Qin Mingxin did not flinch or evade, and let him hold his wrist, with even a hint of shyness on her cheek.

Seeing her reaction like this.

Li Zhixuan felt relieved immediately and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Compared with Qin Mingyu, Qin Mingxin was more like a girl who grew up in a civil servant family. Her eyes and eyebrows revealed a sense of cleverness and shrewdness.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mingxin, why did you suddenly come to Kyoto?"

Qin Mingxin smiled and said, "My father is worried that my brother will be lonely in the capital, so he asked me, an idle person, to come and accompany my brother. Bring my father's gift to His Highness, and then I will return to Zhennan Mansion."

"And there are gifts?"

Li Zhixuan looked at the box in her hand curiously.

Qin Mingxin's cheeks flushed slightly: "This, this is a gift I prepared for Your Highness, not from my father."

Li Zhixuan smiled and bowed: "Thank you Mingxin and Qin Shuai!"

talking.

Take the box.

Then he looked at her expectantly.

Qin Mingxin took a deep breath: "My father's gift is a sentence. He said that if Your Highness wants something, you must try your best to fight for it, and he will fully support Your Highness."

Li Zhixuan: "!!!"

After Qin Mingxin finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I have brought the gift. I will go home first."

Li Zhixuan said quickly, "In a few days, the Chengnan Opera Troupe will have a play called 'Butterfly Lovers'. I wonder if you are free, Mingxin?"

Qin Mingxin looked shy and said, "This is my first time in Beijing, and I am not familiar with the place. Thank you for your help, Your Highness."

Li Zhixuan was overjoyed: "Then I'll give it to you!"

Send Qin Mingxin away.

Li Zhixuan returned to the hall in great excitement. Seeing Ao Jin had appeared, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir, you are truly a god. You even planned our marriage!"

Ao Jin: “…”

Can I tell you that I know nothing?

She smiled faintly, not intending to brag at all: "Since Qin Kaijiang supports you, then you can fight for it. As long as you can get a fairy city, I can transfer the strongest demon official to your Highness. Although he may not be much better than the princess, he can at least help your Highness recover from the decline."

"Thank you sir!"

Li Zhixuan was delighted, thinking in his heart that those who are in the right will have many supporters, while those who are in the wrong will have few.

On my side, two groups of gods and men suddenly appeared at the same time to help.

Originally, there was a Taoist priest named Kongxu on Li Xingluo's side. Even if he could seize the Immortal City, it would be difficult for him to do better than Li Xingluo.

But now, the woman in front of him could control the dispatch of the evil officials, which undoubtedly helped him to get back a lot of blood.

Without any hesitation, he presented a token, which represented his identity as a core official of the Eastern Palace.

"You're welcome, Your Highness!"

Ao Jin took the token, bowed, and turned to leave.

Li Zhixuan then asked, "Sir, I have an unwelcome request."

Ao Jin nodded slightly: "Your Highness, please speak."

Li Zhixuan said in a deep voice: "Please do not disclose our conspiracy to others. I plan to tell my father that this is the result of my negotiation with the Great Saint Temple."

Ao Jin's expression froze for a moment.

She originally felt downhearted about her own mystification.

I didn't expect that all humans are so shameless.

Of course, there was no reason for her to refuse.

After agreeing, he left immediately.

The second one was also obtained for free.

Only the most difficult Qin Muye is left.

The first two were for their own status in the human officialdom and the Great Saint Temple, but in the final analysis, they were still working for the demon race.

My pursuit is always the golden elixir that can make all demons disappear.

So, the first two are the least important.

The only person who is important to me is Qin Muye.

Only by having him as a prostitute can you be considered truly successful.

Whore him!

……

Princess's Mansion.

Qin Muye has already drawn up the development drafts for the four cities.

I could have drawn it in more detail.

But he has some serious internal friction.

He looked at Li Xingluo: "Lulu, I racked my brains but couldn't figure out where Ao Jin got the confidence to influence His Majesty's decision."

Li Xingluo corrected in a low voice: "It's Father!"

Qin Muye grinned: "Yes, it's Father!"

Li Xingluo suddenly felt a little happy in her heart. Although she didn't really approve of Li Hong as a father, she just wanted Qin Muye to call her the same name.

She thought about it and chuckled, "I can't figure it out either. In fact, you can just stop thinking about it. If enemies come, we can just stop them. We got the sacred stone back. Even if someone can really steal it, it's impossible to take it all away."

"It's true!"

Qin Muye nodded slightly, he stood up and stretched lazily: "I won't draw the picture today, I plan to refine the puppet first."

Li Xingluo bit her red lips lightly: "Are you so tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Qin Muye glanced at her silky eyes and patted her on the butt: "I'm afraid that once I rest, I won't be willing to get out of bed for days and nights. Let's do business first!"

"Well! Let's have dinner first."

Although Li Xingluo was somewhat reluctant, she also knew that business was more important, so she took Qin Muye's arm and went out.

As soon as he left the house, he found the Qin family's servants coming over: "Sir! Miss Mingxin has come from Annan, and Second Auntie asked you to go back for dinner tonight!"

"Mingxin?"

Qin Muye was a little puzzled.

Unfamiliar!

This is really unfamiliar!
How come Qin Mingxin shows up just as the main force leaves?

What on earth does Lao Deng want to do?
Qin Muye looked at Li Xingluo and asked, "Would you like to go together?"

Li Xingluo shook his head repeatedly: "No! The way my aunt looked at me this morning was not right. You go back and feel the situation out first. I will come to visit her when she is not so angry with me anymore."

"Ok!"

Qin Muye nodded, comforted her a few more words, and then left the Princess's Mansion in a carriage.

……

It's another round of family recognition banquet.

To be honest, Qin Muye was not very fond of Qin Mingxin.

The shrewdness between the eyebrows and eyes of my sister is the same as the one drawn by You Tianjiao.

You Tianjiao still has a good wife fate to increase her favorability.

As a result, Qin Mingxin was the only member of the Qin family he had seen so far who had not died in the rebellion.

There are also two conspicuous big words on the horoscope annotation.

【Queen】!
Hemp and wheat skin!

He finally understood what Lao Deng was thinking!
Anyone except Li Xingluo can be the new emperor!
But the problem is, you made Qin Mingxin the queen.

I didn’t see Li Zhixuan forgive you!

At the family reunion banquet, Qin Muye was in such a bad mood that he only ate a few bites.

However, out of consideration for the elder Qin Yanying, he didn't show any disapproval.

After eating, he found an excuse to go back to the house.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I opened the door, a figure jumped into my arms.

"Lu Lu, didn't you say you couldn't come?"

"I just said I didn't want to see my aunt, I didn't say I didn't want to see you."

Li Xingluo closed the door with ease, put up a soundproofing sticker, and circled his fingers on Qin Muye's chest: "Muye! You're home now, so you don't have anything to do, right?"

Look how pitiful she is.

Qin Muye couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he thought about it, she endured it in his arms all night last night.

At noon in the Honglu Temple, it seemed that I was the only one who was happy.

If I refuse again, it would be too unkind to her.

He directly carried Li Xingluo onto the bed.

Li Xingluo hung on him and kissed him passionately.

After a few teasings, the atmosphere became tense.

Just as we were about to get to the point.

Suddenly, a cold snort sounded from the side: "You two really have the leisure time!"

They both turned back.

The person who came was none other than Ao Jin, who had parted unhappily at noon.

Qin Muye frowned immediately: "What are you doing here...ah hiss!"

He uttered a low cry.

Li Xingluo has unilaterally announced that the main topic has begun: "Muye, don't worry about her, let's take care of our own things first!"

Qin Muye was stunned for a moment, but did not feel any shame.

Instead, I became even more excited!

He turned his head and said, "We have something to do, please wait a moment!"

Ao Jin: “!?!?!?”

No?

Can you respect me for a moment?
I'm here to threaten you!

You guys do this in front of me?

She was completely confused and for a moment she didn't know whether to leave or stay.

Don't tell me yet.

These two people look good. They are not as unsightly as imagined. Instead, they are quite pleasing to the eye.

and many more!

What am I thinking?
Li Xingluo didn't care about her and focused all his attention on Qin Muye.

The moment Ao Jin appeared just now, she smelled a familiar scent.

That was what happened to me at that time. I was inexplicably involved in the relationship between Qin Muye and Bai Yuji.

Bai Yuji was proud and stopped immediately.

That's why I gave myself the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Although there were other reasons why I was able to take over smoothly in the end, it is undeniable that everything started with this incident.

Now the situation has changed. I am the grandmother of the founder. How could I possibly leave any loopholes for Ao Jin to exploit?

I don’t care about you!

Just a little female dragon.

It is only fit to be a toy to entertain me and Makino!
