Chapter 163: Failed to get something for free and was killed by Machi
Next.
Ao Jin experienced the most painful moment in his life.
She had never thought that someone would actually do such a thing in front of outsiders.
She saw it today.
After I showed up, these two people were not at all shy, but became even more excited.
As for how she judged it, she was more excited.
It’s hard to describe.
But she could still distinguish between majestic and hideous.
In short, Qin Muye looks a little ferocious now.
Ao Jin didn't dare to look anymore. Although she had been obsessed with cultivation since she was young and had not been close to men for all these years, she didn't think of herself as a pure and innocent girl.
According to her age, she is no longer a girl.
If he had not been restrained by the old demon king, he could only wait for his frail son to recover before practicing dual cultivation.
With her bloodline and strength, she must have already found a powerful demon partner.
The scene before her obviously had a great impact on her.
She rubbed her swollen temples and turned her head to the side. However, for a master of her strength, there was no need to rely on her five senses to observe many things. She could imagine everything with just a slight fluctuation in the air.
The human race... have so many tricks?
In comparison, the demon race is indeed much more monotonous.
No wonder those young monsters like to play on the prime minister’s youngest son’s flower boat.
Ao Jin was very annoyed.
He came here on his own, obviously for serious business.
As a result, Qin Muye only took Li Xingluo as a serious matter.
I don't want to watch it.
But the images that are imagined based on vague perception are even more annoying.
Keep your legs together and twist slightly.
She knew she couldn't stay any longer, so she turned into golden light and rushed out.
Only a cold snort was left in the house.
"You will regret it!"
No one cares about him.
After a long time.
Li Xingluo was still hanging on Qin Muye, his cheeks flushed, leaning on his shoulder like he was drunk, panting slightly: "Muye, she said you will regret it. Do you... regret it?"
"What is there to regret?"
"But I regret it!"
"Ok?"
Qin Muye was a little puzzled: "What do you regret?"
Li Xingluo bit her red lips lightly, her eyes a little resentful: "After she left, you didn't seem as excited as before."
"..."
"I should have shown weakness and tricked her into staying a little longer."
"..."
"Makino! So you still get excited by other women, right?"
Why is it another fatal question like this?
Qin Muye asked back: "Aren't you excited?"
Li Xingluo thought about it and suddenly smiled: "That's true!"
Qin Muye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xingluo then said, "Then let's find more reasons to trick her into coming to watch the game, right?"
Qin Muye: “???”
He glanced at Li Xingluo.
But he found that Li Xingluo was looking at him with a half-smile: "Look, as soon as I mentioned her, you got excited again."
Qin Muye: “…”
Another in-depth and easy-to-understand exchange.
Li Xingluo lay comfortably in his arms, feeling like a dream.
The Ministry of Rites should draft the marriage certificate tomorrow and announce it to the world, and the two will be legally married from now on.
Some time ago, she felt that there was no one in the whole world that she could trust.
The only person you can rely on is someone else's husband.
it's good now.
Before, she had never understood whether she liked Qin Muye or not, because the desire stimulated by the totem source energy and her own desire for support greatly affected her judgment of feelings.
but now.
She found that she really liked Qin Muye.
Even if I was just lying in his arms and smelling the faint scent of sweat on his body, my heart was filled with joy.
All this sweat...is shed for me!
I savored it for a while.
She then remembered the important matter: "Muye, what do you think is her trump card?"
Qin Muye shook his head: "I don't know! Now I know that her name is Ao Jin, she is from the dragon clan, and she has a high status in the demon clan. Judging from her attire, she should be married. Maybe she is the concubine of the demon king?
His status should be quite high, but the only connections he can make use of are from the demon clan.
I don't think she has the ability to influence your majesty's...father's decision."
Li Xingluo frowned slightly: "Then why is she so confident?"
"and many more!"
"what happened?"
"I thought of something that seemed unrelated."
"whats the matter?"
"Qin Mingxin! What do you think she came to Kyoto for?"
"Um!?"
Li Xingluo seemed to be thinking about something.
First of all.
Qin Mingxin's purpose of coming to Kyoto was definitely not to accompany his brother Qin Muye.
Even the siblings Qin Mingyu and Qin Mingri only became familiar with each other after living together. It's a bit funny to have Qin Mingxin come to keep them company.
This woman must have a mission to come to Kyoto.
But the military exercise is over, so what is there for the Qin family to do in Kyoto?
Then I think of how Li Zhixuan had forced himself on Qin Mingyu some time ago, and Qin Kaijiang's attitude towards the bloodline of the divine messenger.
The answer is already obvious.
She couldn't help but ask, "So, it's your father who wants to support Li Zhixuan?"
Qin Muye nodded: "It's almost certain!"
Li Xingluo asked again: "But why is Ao Jin so sure? Is he related to your father?"
Qin Muye shook his head uncertainly: "The Qin family should firmly reject evil officials. Even if Ao Jin is really a traitor, he will not choose to cooperate with the Qin family. How much better it is to sell it directly to the Emperor's family?"
"What is Ao Jin's role then?"
"I guess it's... a freeloader!"
Qin Muye expressed his guess, but he felt that it didn't make sense: "But how can she be so sure that my father will support the prince?"
Li Xingluo thought without hesitation: "If all of this is true, then there must be someone behind her who can make this judgment with certainty."
The two looked at each other.
The same name popped up in my mind.
If you put it that way, everything would make sense.
good good!
You little female dragon, you really know how to whore!
Qin Muye sat up and began to put on his clothes.
Li Xingluo asked: "Muye, where are you going?"
Qin Muye closed the gap: "Go and refine the puppets. Now everyone wants to put pressure on me. Do you really think we are made of mud? We must increase their strength as soon as possible."
"Yeah! I'll accompany you!"
Li Xingluo also got up and got dressed. Even though she had been targeted before, she would not be knocked down.
But I can't help feeling depressed.
But now with Qin Muye, she was full of desire to fight.
Seeing that she was almost dressed, Qin Muye prepared to pull her out.
Li Xingluo stepped forward and said, "Wait, your collar is a bit messy!"
Say it.
So I went forward to help him tidy up.
Just before finishing the tidying up, she leaned in and gently kissed his Adam's apple.
The two smiled at each other, quickly went out and disappeared into the night.
……
Yongqing Palace.
After listening to Li Zhixuan's impassioned speech, Li Hong couldn't help feeling relieved.
He really didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Li Zhixuan would have the courage to come and request to supervise the construction of the fairy city.
No matter if you really want to rob.
Still, I know that I want a prince who likes to snatch.
It’s a huge improvement.
If it were before, he would definitely not have any hesitation and would have directly given two of them to Li Zhixuan.
Unfortunately……
Li Hong said calmly: "I understand. Go down. I will consider this matter."
Li Zhixuan said in a clear voice: "Yes! Please give me a chance to put my knowledge and learning into practice for the benefit of the country. I will take my leave now!"
After saluting.
Stride away.
He is upright and neither arrogant nor impetuous.
He just made the request, as if he knew nothing. He was just full of passion, which was completely different from his previous spirit.
These are what my father wants.
Of course, this alone is not enough, but he cannot say what the backup plan is.
Otherwise it would seem like you were carried to the front of the stage by the people behind you.
He knew very well that his father hated his useless behavior the most.
These days.
He has to come here every day to ask for errands.
Only after showing enough determination and indomitable fighting spirit can Qin Kaijiang be allowed to take action.
……
Inside the palace.
Li Hong looked at the direction he left and couldn't help but smile.
This kid.
better.
It’s a pity that it’s still a long way behind Xingluo.
Xing Luo risked his life to retrieve these four magic stones, so how could he hand over the Immortal City to someone else?
He shook his head and closed the last memorial.
Then he went to bed with the help of Eunuch Hong.
The next three days.
The capital was quite bustling. Firstly, the wedding date of the princess and her lover had been set. Secondly, the matter of the fairy city had been brewing.
But for Li Hong, these three days were no different from the previous ones.
Apart from court meetings, he only reviewed memorials, and the rest of the time he was in energy-saving mode to save his life.
The only difference is that Li Zhixuan would ask for an errand every day.
Every time, Li Hong would be pleased and then reject him.
After rejecting Li Zhixuan again.
Li Hong suddenly looked in one direction and said with a smile: "Kaijiang, don't hide if you follow me."
Qin Kaijiang suddenly appeared and saluted solemnly: "Your Majesty!"
Li Hong looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you still worried about Xing Luo, so you haven't left yet?"
Qin Kaijiang sighed: "It's just coming back again!"
Li Hong stared at him for a long time and said, "Kaijiang, you have never been a qualified politician. It's really hard for you to do so many things in secret."
Qin Kaijiang smiled awkwardly: "I just don't want Your Majesty to think too much."
Li Hong shook his head helplessly.
In fact, at the beginning, he was really surprised by Li Zhixuan.
Until he sensed Qin Kaijiang's breath.
At that moment, Li Zhixuan's sudden high morale was connected with the appearance of Qin Mingxin.
Qin Kaijiang was still a little clumsy in this matter.
It's the same as before.
He sighed softly: "Do you really not trust Xing Luo?"
Qin Kaijiang said truthfully: "I just don't believe in the bloodline of the God's Messenger."
"So do you really think Zhixuan can be of great use?"
"The prince needs this tough battle in Xiancheng to prove himself."
"..."
Li Hong had a headache.
But at this moment.
Eunuch Hong's voice rang out from outside the palace: "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Shen requests an audience!"
Li Hong couldn't help but frowned: "Kaijiang, did you invite helpers?"
Qin Kaijiang bowed slightly and remained silent.
Li Hong waved his hand helplessly: "Let him in!"
soon.
Shen Kui walked in hurriedly and bowed deeply as soon as he entered the door: "Your Majesty! Be careful!"
Li Hong was a little annoyed: "Why? Minister Shen is also afraid of the blood of the God's Messenger?"
Shen Kui's face was calm: "I just heard something, but Marshal Qin must be so afraid, there must be a reason for his fear. I have no prejudice against the princess, I just want to ask Your Majesty to think about a question."
Li Hong said in a deep voice: "What's the problem?" Shen Kui took a deep breath: "There are some things that even if the princess can bear, can her offspring bear it?"
Li Hong: “!!!”
His face was stiff.
Then it gradually twisted.
"Wow!"
He angrily flipped the desk, and the items on it immediately fell to pieces. He glared at the two ministers and close friends he trusted the most: "Well, well, well! You guys, you all said that you would not get involved in the matter of the crown prince, but today you united to put pressure on me. Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
Shen Kui and Qin Kaijiang bowed together.
The attitude is quite docile.
But no one said anything soft.
They are not afraid of being beheaded.
of course.
More importantly, they believed that Li Hong believed in them.
If it were another emperor, this kind of joint advice from generals and ministers could really cause chaos in Kyoto.
But for Li Hong, there would be no problem at all.
This emperor not only has the tolerance to tolerate others, but also has the wisdom to recognize people.
Li Hong was furious when he saw the two men who were like a piece of meat being cut into pieces.
Shen Kui was afraid that Li Hong would get angry and do something bad, so he could only say, "Your Majesty, for you, building the city this time is just like watching a play. They have to perform whatever play you want them to perform. Your Majesty has a keen eye and will definitely be able to tell who performs well at a glance."
Ok?
Li Hong seemed to be thinking about something; he understood the key point of Shen Kui's words.
All four cities are in the hands of one person, which has no meaning except paving the way.
Once you make a decision, it will be troublesome to go back on your word.
But if you just treat it as a show, the decision of who will ascend the throne is still in your hands.
of course.
The most important thing is "They have to sing whatever they are told to sing."
This is an exam.
I am the examiner!
To be honest, when he realized that Li Zhixuan's abnormal behavior was caused by Qin Kaijiang, he was quite disappointed with Li Zhixuan.
But it may not be without value in testing.
His biggest dissatisfaction with Li Zhixuan was that Li Zhixuan was a little indecisive. If the prosperous times were already set, then this would not be a problem, but if he did not pave a solid road, then that would be a big problem.
He lost patience with Li Zhixuan because of the intentions of the Stealing Heaven Pavilion, the demon clan and another lineage of divine envoys, which made him feel that Li Zhixuan's future would be difficult.
This is a good opportunity to give Li Zhixuan more test questions, which can be regarded as the last chance.
After all, he was gambling with Li Xingluo, and the reason why he was so anxious was that he was confused by his physical condition.
Think for a long time.
He glanced at the two of them and said, "This won't happen again!"
"Yes!"
Qin Kaijiang and Shen Kui saluted at the same time.
Afterwards, he was driven out by Li Hong.
On the way out of Yongqing Palace.
The two walked very slowly.
Shen Kui sighed with emotion: "Old Qin, by doing this, you are completely giving up on your eldest son? It's a pity..."
The darkness in Qin Kaijiang's eyes flashed away. He looked very unhappy when he heard this, and immediately asked back: "Didn't you also give up a son?"
Shen Kui stroked his beard and smiled, "Jin'er is a waste to begin with. For Daqian, I won't feel bad about giving him up!"
Qin Kaijiang: “…”
After Shen Qi said this.
He suddenly felt so distressed!
……
Princess's Mansion.
"It's done!"
Qin Muye looked at the puppet in front of him and felt excited.
The puppet's physical strength was, as expected, about that of a mid-level great demon.
But after the consciousness was immersed, it was as if he was controlling his own body. The freedom of the flesh body was far beyond the reach of a lump of iron. Using this flesh body, Qin Muye was confident that he could unleash the full power of his killing method.
Moreover, because the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill participated in the entire refining process and the raw materials also came from many young geniuses of the demon clan, this body can cast the innate spells of several clans.
The meridians are complete and can be practiced on their own.
There is no difference from the second body.
And apart from cutting open the puppet's brain to find the spirit core, there is almost no other way to discover that it is a puppet.
From now on, he can finally walk around with another identity.
of course.
This puppet is not completely flawless, because it is a body made up of various kinds of flesh and blood, so there is no possibility of revealing its true form.
If you want to pretend to be a demon, you have to fix this logical bug.
This bug is not easy to fix, but it is not completely unsolvable.
Qin Muye was a little excited and controlled the puppet to punch himself.
He groaned.
A bit sour.
In terms of combat power, it is only slightly weaker than the original body, and its endurance is also slightly shorter.
This puppet is naturally weak when facing the several priests of the Great Sage Temple who have been nourished by incense for many years.
But if it were those high-level monsters from the last ruins of the gods, they would definitely be able to be defeated in a one-on-one fight.
"Squeak!"
The door was pushed open.
Li Xingluo hurried over: "Just now the imperial edict was posted, the immortal city... Father has divided it into two."
Seeing that she looked a little disappointed, Qin Muye put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Didn't you expect this? Why are you still so unhappy?"
Li Xingluo snorted lightly: "Are you used to being wronged? You have already expected to be wronged, and you can't help but be happy after being wronged?"
"It's true!"
Qin Muye smiled and said, "Do you want to vent a little?"
Li Xingluo's eyes lit up immediately, and he reached down with ease: "Hmm? Are you going to make me happy today?"
"not me!"
Qin Muye pointed at the puppet: "It's him!"
Li Xingluo's face changed: "Muye! I have mysophobia. I can accept you using iron lumps, but this dead demon meat is too twisted."
Qin Muye's facial muscles trembled: "No! I said this puppet is made, you can beat it up to vent your anger."
"Oh……"
Li Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief and punched his chest in a nagging manner: "Will it hurt if I hit him?"
"meeting!"
Qin Muye nodded. In order to increase the puppet's combat power, perception must be maximized.
Li Xingluo immediately smiled: "Okay! Let me make it clear first, I won't hold back! You are not allowed to hold back either, otherwise I will be unhappy."
Just hitting the iron lumps will not have any catharsis effect.
I want to beat Qin Muye, but I can't bear to do it.
A sandbag that would make Qin Muye feel pain for a while but would not hurt his body perfectly met her requirements.
It has been a long time since she last sparred with Qin Muye. Even though her cultivation had increased dramatically during the trip to the Ruins of the Gods, she was still far behind Qin Muye in terms of hard power. Even when they sparred, it was Qin Muye who unilaterally fed her moves. The strength of this puppet was just right.
Say it.
He took out two long swords and threw one to the puppet.
Qin Muye tactfully stepped aside, as he also wanted to see how strong Li Xingluo was now.
In fact, speaking only of swordsmanship, Li Xingluo is now stronger than herself, and after many exchanges, she has been looking for loopholes and shortcomings, and now she has almost no flaws.
In addition, her way of killing was learned from Lao Deng's Taijun Sword, which is quite different from the Qin family's master inheritance.
This mutual confirmation is beneficial to both of them.
Let’s have a discussion!
After the discussion...
Now that the imperial edict has been posted, it’s time for the little female dragon to come and show off her power!
She must have a taste of what it feels like to get something for nothing and end up being taken advantage of.
……
Great Saint Temple.
Zheng Wang hurried over, and said in surprise and joy: "Second Temple Prayer, Second Temple Prayer! Great news!"
"What good news?"
The big ape suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from the meditation mat.
Since the imperial examination for all races, there has been no good news from the Great Sage Temple for a long time.
Zheng Wang's chest heaved up and down. "Imperial edict! The palace just posted an imperial edict, saying that the Crown Prince and Princess will each supervise the construction of two fairy cities, and recruit craftsmen and demon officials from all over the world to assist them."
"what!"
The big ape was suddenly startled.
Several other temple priests who were meditating also appeared, all looking somewhat surprised and uncertain.
The emperor actually gave half of the four immortal cities to the prince?
The prince has been defeated so badly, and he still has a chance?
It's really puzzling!
Could it be... that it is really Ao Jin who is exerting his strength?
Zheng Wang was a little confused: "Temple priests, are you... unhappy?"
The big ape waved his hand: "Why would I be unhappy? The prince is not particularly hostile to us. As long as the princess suffers, it will definitely be a good thing for us. However, this matter involves low-level demon officials and needs to be discussed in detail. You go back first!"
"Yes!"
Zheng Wang bowed respectfully and strode away, as if he had no intention of interfering with their decision-making.
But he secretly kept a thought in mind.
The Immortal City is an open conspiracy, which will certainly affect the lower-level evil officials.
But the news about the Immortal City had been released for some time, and they had been unhappy for a while.
The prince's entry now is definitely good news, and their current reaction is definitely wrong.
Perhaps something unknown happened inside the Great Saint Temple.
We have to report this to the emperor immediately.
After Zheng Wang left.
The temple priests looked at each other in bewilderment.
That's when.
A golden light flashed.
Ao Jin sat down on the main seat without any hesitation, glanced down from above, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Second Temple Master, where is my Great Saint Order?"
The big ape's face was slightly stiff: "Crown Princess, does Li Zhixuan's entry really have anything to do with you?"
Ao Jin asked back: "It has nothing to do with me. Did the second temple priest do something? Or did the other temple priests convince the emperor?"
Several temple priests choked at the same time.
The big ape also looked a little embarrassed: "We are just a little curious, how did you ..."
Ao Jin interrupted with a cold face: "Second Temple Master, are you asking me to report to you?"
"Don't dare!"
The great ape shook his head quickly, but still said: "It's just that the Great Sage's Order is of great importance, you have to prove it..."
Ao Jin threw out a token, waved it in front of the temple priests, and quickly took it back: "Do you believe it now?"
The temple priests looked at each other in bewilderment.
They recognized this token. Only Li Zhixuan's confidants could possess it. Seeing the token was like seeing Li Zhixuan himself. Many evil officials had dealt with this token in the past.
So it’s really Ao Jin’s credit?
Otherwise, why would Li Zhixuan give him the token?
They were puzzled.
What's going on.
Ao Jin leaned forward slightly: "Second Temple Master, where is my Great Saint Order?"
"This……"
The big ape was a little hesitant. Once he handed over the Great Sage's Order, it would be like at least 70% of his power would be sidelined.
It would be difficult to do anything more for the prince.
Ao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly: "What? You want to go back on your promise? Do you want me to ask my adoptive father for justice, or do you want me to seek justice myself?"
All the temple priests were shocked.
Only then did they realize that they had no bargaining power at all.
There is no need to say much about the old Demon King. He dotes on his son one way and trusts his adopted daughter one way.
Moreover, with Ao Jin's strength, even if he only has an incarnation, he is enough to suppress them together.
The great ape quickly took out the token, stepped forward and said, "The Great Sage Token originally belongs to you, how can we seize it by force? If you need it in the future, please tell us at any time, and we will do our best!"
Ao Jin ignored their flattery.
After putting away the token, he left the Great Saint Temple directly.
Given the relationship between her and her fiancé, how could she not know what was going on in their minds?
Don't talk about helping.
I'm thankful that I'm not holding back.
If I hadn't gotten the key information from Pu Minglong, I would probably still be suffering from humiliation now.
Don't say it!
Things like "strategies" are really useful.
With just one piece of information gap, he gained the status of both the Great Sage Temple and the Eastern Palace.
I'll go find Qin Muye tomorrow and make him anxious for a night.
Of course, the main purpose was to avoid Li Xingluo, otherwise the two of them would put on another big show for him, and he would not be able to bear it.
This young human is difficult to deal with.
But he is definitely a coward.
Now that the imperial edict has been posted, he must have seen his own power.
Even though he didn't think the emperor changed his mind because of him.
The Great Sage Order in his hand was not fake. Controlling the whereabouts of low-level demon officials was equivalent to controlling his life.
this time!
I will make him kneel in front of me crying.
Return the disrespect he received twice before to him double!
