I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
449. A doting mother often spoils her son.
The sun was high in the sky when Han Linling, having slept well all night, went to work very early in the morning.
Jie Huayu, Huifu, Bai Rong, Wei Lan, and others intensified their cultivation and also went to the spiritual land.
When Wan Qingrou saw that the dragon blood rice was almost ripe, she also went to the sacred site.
Lian Xiuxiu and Piaomiaoyue lay lazily in He Chen's arms. Yun Qing, Yun Su, and others went to the secondary city. They still needed to select a site for the Demon Slaying Division. There were many things to do.
Jingzhai will return today or tomorrow. He Chen will need to go and greet him then.
Lion Horse is now Yun Su's mount, frequently traveling between secondary cities. It is fast and can fly.
Wei Ming's absence in the next few days must be due to dealing with racial issues.
Her beauty was so captivating that fish would sink and geese would fall from the sky, and the moon would hide its face in shame. Her graceful figure exuded an air of serene elegance, a transcendence of worldly concerns. She was like a fairy from a celestial palace.
Wei Qinghui changed into a loose-fitting, smart robe, greeted Shen Lang and the other two, and prepared to go out.
Piaomiaoyun beckoned and whispered, 'Sister.'
Wei Qinghui smiled gently, looking at the two of them with a relaxed and natural posture. Her long hair was like a piece of black silk, instantly giving people a sense of tranquility and beauty.
She gently approached, drew near, and whispered, "Sister Yue. Sister Xiuxiu."
Piaomiaoyue and Lianxiuxiu smiled gently and let the shy Wei Qinghui in, where she sat down.
A warm, large hand pressed down instantly, preventing him from getting up. He obediently leaned against it.
Piaomiaoyue said softly, "Sister, is there anything you need? Please speak freely. Let's see if we can help."
Wei Qinghui said gratefully in a low voice, "Thank you, sister. Wei Family Village plans to train more cultivators, starting from a young age. They hope I can go and check on them soon. Are there any good ones?"
Piaomiaoyue nodded and said softly, "That's a good plan. It's good to be prepared. Sister, please don't worry. If you need our help, just ask."
Sister Wanqing should have quite a few medicinal liquids, and I also have some medicinal formulas here. Sister, you might want to take a look.
Wei Qinghui said softly, "Thank you, sister."
Lian Xiuxiu touched Wei Qinghui's hand, and a sense of peace washed over Wei Qinghui, instantly making her feel much more at ease.
He Chen said gently, "Your daily necessities and money are all in the inner courtyard; just take what you need."
"Yes, thank you, Shen Lang," Wei Qinghui said softly.
Bathed in the warm breeze, a few people became intoxicated, and a spark of passion ignited within them.
A figure flashed and was already in the room.
The morning became lively again, like the soft singing of orioles.
It stopped after an hour.
Suddenly, a faint figure slowly approached, with long hair and a beautiful palace-style cheongsam.
Liu Qianqian arrived quietly. She had been delayed by something last night and was only able to come today.
Before she could even stand properly, she was gently pulled into a warm embrace.
Her hair fluttered in the wind, and an hour later the gale subsided and everything quieted down.
In the sub-city, Yun Heiyi and Captain Guan's injuries had improved, while Yun Su and the others were filled with fear upon hearing the news.
More detailed information revealed that the Red King launched a surprise attack on the Qi Kingdom's palace, and within the Qi Kingdom, those around him betrayed him, ultimately leading to the Red King's execution of the Qi King.
A three-year-old child ascended the throne. The Xuanji faction and the Supreme Palace jointly governed the east and west, splitting the palace in two. All the laws previously enacted by the King of Qi were abolished, and the old laws were maintained instead.
Yun Su's eyes flickered, Guan Xiaowei's eyes were filled with fear, and Yun Heiyi and the others remained silent.
Yun Shuni exclaimed, "It's unbelievable! How could King Qi be so easily defeated? Escaping shouldn't have been difficult. How could King Hong have killed him so quickly?"
Yun Qing's calm voice was cold as she said, "If we've been living in peace for too long, someone might be secretly pulling strings. Once the Red King makes a move, even if the Qi King escapes, he'll probably still be doomed."
It's easy to pin the blame on the Red King then.
Captain Guan nodded in agreement, saying, "The upheaval in Qi was probably planned in the last day or two."
With the Red King's return to power this time, and his personality seemingly unchanged, even more domineering than before, it's not impossible that someone might take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters and go with the flow.
He thought to himself, 'The world is in chaos. I never imagined it would start with the State of Qi, not us.' A slight smile played on his lips, whether amused or not was hard to tell.
Yun Su nodded slightly and said softly, "The control around the city needs to be upgraded. We also need to prepare more supplies."
Yun Qing and the others nodded.
Captain Guan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Madam, regarding Dalong Prefecture, you need to arrange for someone to come as soon as possible. Upon my return, I will immediately need to reorganize the troops; I am truly an amateur in governing a city."
Yun Su nodded. For a moment, many people flashed through her mind, but she couldn't make a decision. She nodded softly and said, "Don't worry, Captain Guan, I will arrange this as soon as possible."
During this period, Commandant Guan continued his previous actions, recruiting talented individuals to maintain stability. I will discuss further arrangements with the lord.
Inside the royal palace in the capital, the eldest prince looked at the detailed message handed to him, which even included snippets of conversation between the Red King and the Qi King. His inner turmoil was indescribable.
Suddenly, a sense of fear and unease washed over me, as if I were actually there. The magnificent palace had instantly turned into ruins, dust flying everywhere, a scene of utter devastation.
A wave of astonishment washed over me, and my tightly clenched hands betrayed a lack of composure compared to my outward appearance.
They didn't even notice that the secret report had been torn in the slightest.
A feeling of suffocation pressed down on my chest. Calm down, calm down, and slowly straighten my body.
The deep voice said, 'The Qi state is now ruled by a three-year-old child.'
The figure in the shadows replied in a calm, clear voice, "Yes, Your Highness. The State of Qi has already proclaimed this to the world."
The Crown Prince nodded slightly and ordered, "Summon all ministers to a meeting immediately."
"It's Your Highness." The young eunuch quickly ran out.
The news spread like wildfire. Within the royal city, among the noble families and prominent clans, those who heard the intelligence in their hands found it hard to believe, as if someone were playing a joke on them.
The Red King's combat prowess is undeniable, but wasn't he forced to retreat by the royal palace during his night raid on the capital?
How come when we arrived at the Qi King's palace, it was already the Qi King's death?
I was overwhelmed with emotion.
Inside the Lin residence, the Lin family head looked incredulous and was somewhat dizzy as he tried to gather his thoughts. A slightly drunk young man with delicate features quietly ran in from the side, seemingly heading towards his own courtyard.
Looking at his youngest son, his third son, he felt that since the eldest was outstanding, it didn't matter if the third son was a little outrageous.
Even in broad daylight, his face was still flushed. He spent his days drinking and having fun, but he failed to achieve anything in his studies and never even entered the first level. He was only at the second level. What a waste of money and pills!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he got, the more he looked over, and with a light leap, he blocked the way.
Young Master Lin's face turned deathly pale. Looking at the stick in his father's hand, his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
