Chapter 123 Talking about Heroes
Although Tianyi Jushi has recovered after drinking the potion, the long-term mental damage cannot be healed by a dose of potion, and he needs a deep sleep.
Oh, not a death-like sleep like Tarona, but a normal twelve hours.
Wang Xiaoshi went to the border and there was no one in his house, so Tarona simply brought Tianyi Jushi back to Shenhou Mansion.
We are brothers, there is no distinction between you and me.
Anyway, Yuan Shisanxian followed Cai Jing into prison yesterday, along with his disciples, and their cells were next to each other.
Zhao Kuangyin was not prepared to kill him. It would be a pity if he did not contribute to the Song Dynasty with such high martial arts skills. As for his disciples, if they were singled out for ideological education, they could continue to shine for the Song Dynasty.
Anyone who sees this will have to say that people are making the best use of their abilities.
Half an hour later, Zhuge Shenhou, with his hands behind his back like a big man strolling at the entrance of the village, led Shentong Hou, who was misty and had a bad face, into the palace.
Another half hour passed, and the [Flower of Evil] was teleported back to the headquarters. The great witch, free of worries, twirled her fan, hummed a strange tune, and went to the Ministry of Justice.
After many twists and turns, it was Di Feijing who finally contributed blood.
Tarona didn't tell him what he wanted his blood for, as it might scare the child.
Di Fei was surprised and honest. He gave him a glass bottle with a capacity of 100 ml and told him to fill it to the neck. He cut his palm and filled the bottle to the brim.
The scarlet beauty was very satisfied. She gently touched Minister Di's head. With a light touch of her fingers, the wound that ran across his palm healed instantly, and there was an extra-sweet piece of candy in his mouth.
Looking at the red-skirted fairy's departing back, Di Fei, who was holding a piece of candy in his mouth, was startled and burst out laughing.
He never thought that, even though he was so old, one day he would be treated as a child by an immortal.
However...
It feels good.
Tarona returned to the Golden Wind and Rain Tower. Before the people guarding the door could react, she had already flashed into the stone tower.
I didn't look closely before, but there is a ginkgo tree in the yard, next to the fish pond.
The scarlet beauty lifted her skirt and sat down beside the fish pond.
She took out the glass bottle filled with warm blood and shook it twice. The special glass bottle would not cause the blood to stick to the wall.
This was her first time drinking blood.
To be honest, I have a little bit of a psychological barrier.
But only a little.
After a moment's silence, the witch brought the glass bottle closer, tilted her head back and drank it in one gulp.
As expected, it tastes great and I want to drink it again.
The warm blood flowed into her throat like sweet rain, and the surging appetite that had been forcibly suppressed was finally irrigated. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and a fierce light flashed in her scarlet eyes. Her two fangs unconsciously poked out, as if she wanted to choose someone to eat.
Bang.
Tarona crushed the glass bottle stained with sweet blood. She closed her eyes and adjusted herself. She didn't know whether the satisfied food had finally succumbed to her rationality or not, and she retreated back unwillingly.
Although the amount is not much, it is enough to quench my thirst.
In terms of energy, humans are not the first choice of food for Grand Duchess Rose. If she were to eat as much as she wanted, even Bianjing would not be enough for a single meal.
Fortunately, the compatibility between me and Grand Duchess Rose is very low. Even after drinking blood, the current synchronization rate is only a little over 29%.
fine.
Although breaking 51% is quite interesting, it is indeed tiring to fight for it.
Tarona yawned, sank into the black and white hunting ground, stepped into the dark lake, and the pitch-black coffin carefully wrapped her, and she prepared to take a short nap.
It was she who guaranteed to bring Zhao Kuangyin from the underworld to the human world, and she had to make sure that Zhao Kuangyin would not cause harm to the human world before she could leave.
But if you think about it, you will know that it won't happen. Zhao Kuangyin is a warmonger, not a terrorist. Both she and the underworld are just putting on an act.
He slept for two days. When Tarona appeared again, Wuqing and others who had not seen her for more than two days breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought the immortal had left.
Scarlet Beauty checked the physical conditions of several children one by one as usual. After making sure that each one was healthy, she gave each child a pat on the head fairly.
Wuqing and others were still very busy. Ever since Cai Jing was imprisoned, whether it was the Dali Temple, the Six Gates, or the government office in the capital, they all wished they could grow eight hands. They were unable to even confiscate the property.
My God, they knew Cai Jing was greedy, but they didn’t expect him to be so greedy!
Some of the things that were confiscated from his house turned out to be treasures that were not even in the national treasury!
Compared with him, the other corrupt officials who were imprisoned shortly after Cai Jing were slightly inferior.
Although Zhao Kuangyin was prepared, he still couldn't help but get angry when he saw the list of people whose property was confiscated handed over by the Ministry of Justice.
If these termites had not yet told him everything they knew, he would have wanted to take a knife and kill them himself!
Good, good, good!
This is the most loyal and trusted minister of the Song Dynasty!
He ordered the imperial physicians to save these people's lives, and not a single one of them could die before they had endured the tortures of past dynasties.
After the court session, Zhao Kuangyin angrily beat Zhao Ji again.
If Cai Jing and others could see Zhao Ji now, they would certainly cooperate and tell him everything they knew, just to die quickly.
Su Mengzhen led a few clerks to follow the Ministry of Justice in searching the property. He couldn't help but click his tongue with every entry.
He really had not expected that Cai Jing and others were so wealthy.
Who has ever seen so much real gold and silver?
Tsk tsk, the proceeds from this confiscation of property are enough to support the Ministry of War for several years.
Master Su Lou shook his head and went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice with his hands behind his back. He was going to see Cai Jing on the order of the emperor. He had confiscated so much wealth, and he must have been heartbroken to see all this.
But more of it should be fear.
After all, they now know that the emperor is His Majesty Taizu, and no matter what, they will surely die.
After being busy for more than half a month, the cases of these corrupt officials and treacherous ministers were finally concluded. The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of War all breathed a sigh of relief. The busiest ones fell asleep as soon as they returned from the palace. It can be said that their sleep quality has never been so good.
Among them are Su Mengzhen and Wuqing.
Seeing her most beloved child so tired, the Scarlet Beauty did not look very happy towards Zhao Kuangyin who came to ask for help.
Zhao Kuangyin also knew that it was not a good idea to squeeze his ministers in such a tight time frame. He dared not say such truths as "a minister should die for his monarch" in front of the Scarlet Immortal. So he waved his hand, promoted and increased the salary of the officials who took the lead in this incident, and gave them extra rewards.
The Scarlet Beauty's complexion looked a little better.
Zhao Kuangyin came to ask for a share of the spoils for no other reason than to ask when the war would break out.
He has already issued an edict to hold a special imperial examination next month. If a war breaks out on the border, he will postpone the imperial examination.
There is no need for any magic props to assist in this matter; Tarona's inspiration is enough.
The Great Witch captured the correct answer from the vague future, but due to the constraints of certain rules, things about the future are always vague, just a few words, or a passage in the mist. The true and accurate information depends entirely on the inquirer to understand.
Zhao Kuangyin thanked him solemnly, and went back to think about the answer to the divination carefully.
Another month passed, and Bai Choufei and others who had penetrated deep into Western Xia brought news that the team of experts who had infiltrated the territory of the Song Dynasty had been confirmed to have been sent from the Western Xia Imperial Palace. The Western Xia Imperial Palace was now undercurrents, and as long as an external force that could break this barely balanced intervention could intervene, it would surely be blown to pieces.
Bai Choufei is very courageous, and Xi Honglei is even courageous.
The two of them put everyone under pressure and designed an assassination that shocked Xixia.
But unfortunately, Li Qianshun had an expert by his side, who helped him dodge the attack and only injured one of his hands.
After the plan was completed, Qi Shaoshang, who was guarding outside the Xixia Palace, diverted the blame to Li Qianshun's queen, Princess Nanxian of Liao.
The Xixia and Liao Kingdoms were one family, which was just something that was said to outsiders. Li Qianshun, who had experienced the interference of foreign relatives in politics and the abuse of power in the harem, began to be wary of Princess Nanxian before she married. Although their relationship warmed up after marriage and they were quite affectionate, there was still a barrier in his heart.
This sudden assassination was enough to cut another hole in this barrier.
Even if Li Qianshun was unwilling to suspect Princess Nanxian, those ministers who had their own plans would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Choufei and others escaped from Xingqing Prefecture, sneaked into secret mountain roads to avoid subsequent searches, and successfully reunited with Wang Xiaoshi who led troops to pick them up.
A month later, Western Xia attacked the Song Dynasty's border for no reason. The guards at the border raised the alarm twice but to no avail, so they reported this to the emperor.
The emperor was furious, so he sent troops to Western Xia and led the army personally.
The battle lasted for three months. The Western Xia suffered successive defeats and internal turmoil. The Song Dynasty, led by the emperor, was invincible and won victory after victory.
Li Qianshun once asked Liao for help and requested troops to support, but Liao was suddenly plundered by the Jin Dynasty and was in a desperate situation. How could it possibly spare troops to send reinforcements?
The Song Dynasty masters, led by Yuan Shisanxian, have retired after accomplishing their mission and left Liao State calmly.
As winter approached, Western Xia finally surrendered and was defeated.
Zhao Kuangyin accepted the letter of surrender from Western Xia, which stated that Western Xia would return the lost territory to the Song Dynasty and how the compensation would be paid.
He sneered and placed the surrender on the table.
Now it is just compensation for money and land, but in a year that won’t be the case anymore.
After the reorganization of the army and the return to the court, Zhao Kuangyin conferred titles on court officials and then announced the imperial examination. The long-decayed Song Dynasty finally regained its revival.
After the court session ended, Zhao Kuangyin called the historian and did not let him go until dark.
This piece of history may not be revealed until a long time later, and he would never allow Zhao Ji's name to remain in the history books. It may be too magical, or it may be questioned by future generations. Zhao Ji does not deserve it.
This criminal who almost destroyed the foundation of the Song Dynasty deserves to be nailed to the pillar of shame forever. This is not just a family shame, but a national hatred.
He wanted the future emperor of the Zhao family to remember that the world would eventually belong to everyone in the world, and would never belong to just his family.
Today he brought the Song Dynasty back to power. If anyone is as incompetent and unjust as Zhao Ji tomorrow, he deserves to have the entire dynasty overthrown!
And he will always be watching and waiting underground.
…
The end of the year is approaching, and time has passed. It turns out that Tarona has stayed in this world for such a long time.
After the war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia ended, she took Zhao Kuangyin back to the underworld. The inspection period had passed, and Zhao Kuangyin could stay in the human world. When the five-year period was up, an envoy from the underworld would come to take him back.
In this way, Tarona's only remaining mission was completed.
She never liked to be sticky when leaving. She would get goosebumps all over her body if she burst into tears. Therefore, she always said goodbye in a calm and relaxed manner, coming like a gust of wind and leaving like a breeze.
Besides, it wouldn't be a good thing to see her again.
The day she left happened to be a holiday, and every child was enjoying a rare rest at home.
Tarona bought a lot of useful things in the system store and gave them to them one by one.
Only children have it, adults don't have it.
Then the children who received the gifts understood that she was leaving.
No need to see you off.
The scarlet beauty touched the children's heads one last time, then chuckled, turned and left. The extremely bright and passionate scarlet color instantly blended into the time and could no longer be found.
Meeting is fate, but fate can be long or short, deep or shallow.
Like a fleeting moment, it is hard to forget in this life, but it is impossible to keep it.
The sky is high, the earth is far, and we will never meet again.
Best wishes and good luck.
…
As soon as he came back, Tarona was taken to the psychological department by Theseus for a follow-up examination. The scene was indeed a bit awkward when the doctor met the disobedient patient.
"I'm going to hand in the report."
Theseus pushed his glasses up and looked at Talona. "You will review it carefully, right?"
Tarona: ...
Tarona: "Okay."
Theseus nodded and left with the report.
Tarona and the psychiatrist looked at each other for a long time. Finally, the psychiatrist coughed and took out a test for her to fill out.
The Great Witch took a deep breath and cooperated with the treatment.
When she came out of the psychology department with a bag of drinking medicine, she felt dizzy and her ears were buzzing, all because of the doctor's nagging.
Oh, she will have to come for a follow-up check next time. After the next check-up confirms that there is no problem, she will not need to come again.
Tarona: ...
I want to run, but I can't.
Having a responsible partner is sometimes a sweet burden.
Perhaps some helpful god heard her voice, because on the first day before she was about to enter the next mission world, her close friend called her crying and said that Seth was infected with the virus.
When Tarona and Theseus arrived, Seth had just come out of the hospital for intelligent life forms, with Tianqi, whose eyes were red from crying, beside him.
The little girl was so guilty that she was about to burst into tears: "It's all my fault. If it wasn't for helping me, Seth wouldn't have been infected with the anti-surveillance virus. Wuwuwu! It's all my fault..."
Oh, it's the anti-surveillance guy.
Talona touched her head and comforted her: "Don't worry, even the anti-monitor can't break our defense. Look at Seth, does he look like he has a problem?"
Seth certainly didn't look like that. He looked at his crying partner tenderly, showed her the medical report, and consoled her: "Don't worry, Miss Tianqi, it's just a small debuff. I also responded to him, and now he's at best half dead."
The defenses that come with the Time and Space Balance Bureau have never received any negative reviews, and have been upgraded since then. It is not that easy to break through them.
Even this tiny debuff was a trap set by the Anti-Surveillance using the characteristics of an intelligent life form. After being filtered through layers of defense, it can be completely ignored.
However, the effect of this debuff is weak, and it may work sometimes and not work sometimes. The next mission world that Tianqi is going to is a comprehensive world where MCU and DC are merging, which is indeed a small hidden danger.
Seth frowned, he was worried that this little hidden danger would break out at a critical moment and cause his partner to be injured. Otherwise... wait until the debuff wears off before going?
Tarona glanced at his report and said, "The series of tasks you have accepted are time-limited assessments. If you fail to complete them within the specified time, Tianqi will have to stay at C-level for another year."
As far as she knew, Tianqi wanted to transfer to another department, and only cadres of Grade B or above could apply for a transfer.
The girl has wanted to change departments for a long time. If she has to wait another year, she will just cry in secret.
So she discussed it with Theseus and decided to switch partners with Tianqi. After all, Theseus and Seth were essentially intelligent life forms, so there was no need to report the switch.
It's just a little weakness buff. The danger in the martial arts world is low, so it won't have any impact even if it breaks out.
Tianqi immediately rushed over with tears in her eyes and hugged Tarona: "Wuwuwu, thank you Sister Ta! I will bring you many special products!"
In order to repay Sister Ta, she decided to pluck out the flower beds of those witches and get more leaves from the Asgard World Tree. Fist!
Tarona smiled and touched her head, his technique very skillful.
