Chapter 965: Xu Quan Earns the Most
After the Great Heat, nothing noteworthy happened in the following days.
Wei Changtian still goes to the palace every day to handle some things, while Yang Liushi still goes shopping in the city when she has nothing to do.
The last "remnant" of the Jing family who escaped has died, and his body has been transported back to the capital and buried in the imperial mausoleum with the rest of the Jing family.
After a major reshuffle, most departments of the court began to operate again, and even ordinary people returned to their normal lives.
It seemed that everyone had accepted the fact that Daqian had fallen. Apart from the occasional discussions, it seemed that all the humiliation had been forgotten in just half a month.
But it is obvious that many people have simply buried the former Daqian deep in their hearts, waiting to see the light again one day in the future.
Of course, no one knows whether this day will come.
Maybe, maybe never.
Perhaps within a few years, Su Qi will be driven out of the palace, and someone from the Jing family, real or fake, who came out of nowhere, will sit on the throne again and restore Daqian.
Perhaps after a few years, everyone will find that life under the rule of the new dynasty is not bad, and gradually stop thinking about restoring the country.
Or perhaps, just like the "Anti-Qing and Restoration of Ming" in the previous life, there are always some people who are unwilling to give up and want to do something, but fail again and again, and then continue to try, and the struggle continues for a long time.
In short, after Wei Changtian leaves, all of the above may happen.
But at least for now, when this "living devil" still remains in Daqian, no one in Daqian dares to resist anymore.
Therefore, the date for Su Qi's coronation ceremony was finally set. After calculations by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, it was decided on the auspicious day of July 5th.
The time for Wei Changtian to leave Daqian was therefore determined, which was the sixth day of July, the day after the ceremony was completed.
Come and go in a hurry.
Although there are still three months left before the "before the beginning of winter" promised to Liang Qin, Wei Changtian can definitely stay in Daqian for a while longer.
But the latter felt that there was really no need.
Even Wei Changtian didn't care at all whether the remnants of Daqian would make a comeback in the future, or whether Su Qi could sit firmly on the throne.
His goal from the beginning to the end was simply to destroy Daqian and let everyone in the world know his style of "revenge".
As for what would happen after Daqian was destroyed, Wei Changtian was too lazy to care.
What's more, he has many more important things to deal with now.
"Sir, many matters concerning the coronation ceremony have been decided. Can you see if there is anything that needs to be changed?"
It was still that "temporary office" and the "central air conditioning" was still turned on very high.
Su Qi bowed and handed a booklet to Wei Changtian, which contained some details about the coronation ceremony.
Since he was not the emperor, Wei Changtian certainly had no time to care about these things, so he did not even open the book. He just smiled and pushed the book back: "Sir Su, after the ceremony, I will leave for Dashu, and Zimu will go with me. When the time comes, you will have to make decisions on all matters of the new dynasty."
"So unless you encounter something big that you can't solve, you don't have to tell me everything."
"I believe you can handle it."
"This is, I understand."
Holding the booklet in his hand with a complicated expression, Su Qi nodded slightly.
He seemed a little nervous, and I wonder if it was because he had no experience as an emperor for the first time.
"Sir, I will take my leave now."
"Um."
“.”
Watching Su Qi turn around and walk out of the room, Wei Changtian took a sip of tea and asked Li Zimu who was still sitting next to him.
"There are still five days left. What progress has Guankong made?"
"My Lord, the news has already spread."
Li Zimu replied softly: "It is now basically confirmed that Guan Kong and Lin Zhi are indeed in the city."
"Okay, remember not to act rashly after you fish them out."
Wei Changtian nodded: "Try not to let them escape again this time."
"Yes, sir. I understand."
Li Zimu responded and then lowered his eyes, obviously hesitating whether to say something.
"What's wrong?"
On the other side, Wei Changtian saw her like this and asked casually, "Anything else?"
"Young Master."
Li Zimu bit his lip and asked, "Still no news from Tang Chen?"
"No."
Wei Changtian glanced at her, shook his head and replied, "I have already sent people to Guigu Sect, but they have not yet found out whether his life card is broken."
"But you don't have to worry too much. They are the Sons of Heaven and are protected by Heaven's destiny. It won't be that easy for them to get into trouble."
"Um"
Li Zimu nodded slightly. Although she didn't say anything more, her expression showed that she was still very worried about Tang Chen's safety.
Wei Changtian couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Hahaha, now Chu Xianping is also missing just like Tang Chen. Why are you only worried about Tang Chen but not Chu Xianping?"
"ah?"
Li Zimu was stunned, and rarely showed a trace of embarrassment like a young woman.
She hesitated for a long time before she could barely find a reason.
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu is very strategic. He always plans before he acts, so I think nothing will happen to him."
"On the contrary, it was Tang Chen, he, he..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and Li Zimu stopped talking halfway through. She was afraid that she couldn't even convince herself with this explanation.
The real reason is now very obvious, which is that Tang Chen is undoubtedly more important in her heart.
As for why this happened, Li Zimu was not quite sure, and Wei Changtian would not be idle enough to gossip about such things.
Therefore, the latter did not continue to ask, but just waved his hand and changed the subject: "Okay, anyway, I will tell you as soon as I have any news."
"You don't have to worry too much. Just focus on helping Su Qi complete the coronation ceremony. We can deal with other things later."
"By the way, where are Xu Quan and Zhili? Haven't they arrived yet?"
"Oh, I have sent someone to notify them this morning. I think they will be here soon."
His expression gradually became calm, and Li Zimu really stopped thinking about Tang Chen and answered seriously.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang San's voice came from outside the house.
"Sir, Master Xu and Miss Zhili are here."
Soon, Xu Quan and Zhili walked into the room.
Like Wei Changtian, they had nothing to do these days. Apart from staying with the Tengu Army, they would occasionally go into the city for fun. Over the past few days, their relationship had warmed up a lot.
Of course, everyone now knows that Xu Quan is the Son of Heaven, and naturally there are many people with ill intentions who are always watching them.
However, no one has dared to act rashly these days, probably because they are still weighing the pros and cons.
After all, Xu Quan follows Wei Changtian. If he touches him, he will probably be retaliated by the latter.
Ever since Wei Changtian successively destroyed Dahui and Daqian, most forces had to carefully consider whether they could afford the consequences before taking action against Xu Quan.
In other words, they have to consider how much loss they can bear for the sake of a Son of Heaven.
Obviously, this varies from person to person.
After all, every force has different demands in this chaotic world, so some people may think it is not worth offending a powerful enemy for the sake of destiny, but others think it is worth it.
But for the judgment of "whether it is worth it", this is actually not the most critical
The most important thing is that they must first have the ability to kill Xu Quan.
Fifth rank, good at taming monsters, commander of the Tengu Army, and brother of the new empress.
Just looking at Xu Quan's strength and background, although it is out of reach for ordinary people, it is nothing in the eyes of some big forces. Under normal circumstances, it is not difficult to kill such a person.
But the fact seems not to be the case.
Just as Wei Changtian just said, it is actually not easy to kill a Son of Heaven who is protected by the destiny of Heaven.
Nearly a month has passed since the information about the Son of Heaven was leaked, and there has still been no news of the death of the Son of Heaven.
Of course, it is possible that the murderer intentionally concealed the information in order to avoid being targeted.
But it is also possible that none of the Sons of Heaven have died yet.
Therefore, no matter how weak Xu Quan's "paper strength" is, it would not be easy to kill him.
What's more, now there is a thousand-year-old monster following him all day long.
Therefore, none of the forces acted rashly, for fear of ending up with a result of failing to kill someone but ending up with Wei Changtian's name.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Quan has been able to remain safe and sound until now.
However, whether it was him, Wei Changtian or Zhili, they all knew very well that this was only a temporary silence.
Xu Quan cannot escape this whirlpool, and one day he will have to face it all.
By then, the crisis he faces will probably be far beyond his imagination at the moment.
"Sit down."
In the room, after Xu Quan and Zhili came, Li Zimu left tactfully.
After the door was closed, Wei Changtian motioned for the two to sit down, then he took out a jade box from his sleeve and said to Zhili with a smile: "Demon King, I promised you before that as long as you come with me to Daqian Capital, I will return these three holy fruits."
"Now that you have done this, I will keep my promise and return the holy fruit to you."
“Swish!”
With a casual throw, the jade box fell into Zhili's hands.
Although Wei Changtian's words "keep the promise" sounded shameless, fortunately he did not cheat a second time and finally returned the holy fruit to Zhili.
The latter opened the jade box and took a look. After hesitating for a long time, he thanked Wei Changtian for the first time.
"Thank you."
"Hahaha, no need to thank me, it's just a deal."
After laughing twice, Wei Changtian half-jokingly said, "Besides, if this holy fruit wasn't of little use to me, I might not necessarily return it to you."
“.”
His eyes froze and Zhili was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether Wei Changtian was telling the truth or just joking.
After all, this holy fruit really has no effect on humans, but it is of great benefit to monsters.
The reason why Xu Quan was able to break through to the first level was simply because the latter was the son of the Heavenly Dao of the "Demonic Dao".
Wei Changtian probably had already found out about this situation from somewhere else, so he was willing to "return the jade intact to Zhao" now.
But no matter what, now I have finally got the holy fruit back, which is good.
Anyway, she didn't lose anything, and she even got to know Xu Quan by chance. Holding the jade box, she turned her head quietly to glance at Xu Quan, and a hint of tenderness that only a girl in love could have flashed in her fragmented eyes.
Although he has lived for hundreds of years and has practiced Taoism for more than a thousand years, this demon king is "in love" for the first time and can't help but be a little "love-brained".
This even made her forget that there were actually seven holy fruits. "Ahem, Demon King."
On the other side, Wei Changtian didn't expect Zhili to fall so deeply in love, and he quickly coughed and reminded him:
"If there is no problem with these three holy fruits, then we are even on good terms."
"Oh, then I'll do as you say."
Zhili finally glanced at Wei Changtian and said, "Master Wei, do you have anything else to say?"
"If not, Xu Quan and I will leave first. We still have to go to the opera later."
“.”
Listen to opera???
Are you two living a comfortable life these days? ! Speechless and helpless, he looked at Zhili, then at Xu Quan who seemed a little embarrassed. Wei Changtian was silent for a long while, then he said with a wry smile: "Demon King, Master Xu, I asked you to come here today because I actually wanted to ask you about your future plans."
"To be honest, I will return to Dashu after Su Qi's coronation ceremony is over in a few days."
"As for the current situation in the world, I don't need to explain it to you. I think you should all know it."
"So I want to know where you are going to go in the future, Mr. Xu?"
"Will you come back to Dashu with me? Or go to Xinfeng? Or go to Changliu Mountain?"
"If possible, please tell me in advance."
"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. Just pretend I didn't ask."
Soon, Wei Changtian finally finished explaining the main purpose of why he called Xu Quan today.
The latter did not hesitate, and must have already made a plan, and immediately replied: "Sir, if you don't mind me being a burden, I am willing to follow you back to Dashu."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian nodded, not surprised by the answer.
After all, compared with the Fifth Demon Land and Xinfeng, although he is a big tree that attracts the wind, he is also the thickest "thigh", so Xu Quan's choice can be said to be very reasonable.
"Mr. Xu, you are too kind. Since you think highly of me, let's go back to Dashu together."
"You can continue to lead the Tengu Army. If you have other ideas, you can tell me. However, you still need to explain it to your younger sister yourself."
"Yes, don't worry, sir. I will take care of it."
"Well, that's good."
Since Xu Quan had already made up his mind, Wei Changtian was also happy to have another Son of Heaven serving him, so the two of them decided the matter without saying a few words.
After finalizing the matter, Wei Changtian turned his gaze to Zhili and asked, "Demon King, I wonder what you are planning to do..."
"Of course I want to be with my future husband."
Under Wei Changtian's surprised gaze, Zhili did not shy away, nor did he feel shy. He directly took Xu Quan's hand and said confidently: "Since he is going to Dashu, then of course I will follow him."
"Well"
My goodness, is the charm of the Son of Heaven so great? This time when he came to Daqian, not only did Xu Quan improve his realm by one level, but he also easily married a demon king?
Although Wei Changtian made a considerable contribution in this process, he still felt a little envious when he saw Xu Quan making so much money.
Shit ! I don’t even have a demon king wife!
Waving his hands, Wei Changtian sighed weakly under the slightly puzzled gazes of Xu Quan and Zhili, "Alright, you two go watch the show."
"I'll be alone and quiet."
