Chapter 1179 Final Chapter The Second Path is Ruthless but Affectionate
The second year of Zhenyuan in the Daqi Dynasty.
Gu Qingcheng unified the north and the south.
Wang Qi led a large army, crossed Jiangling, and headed north.
Gu Qingcheng had abundant food, weapons, horses and money.
There were tens of thousands of female soldiers and wolf soldiers under her command, all of whom were brave and invincible.
Wang Qi was not bad either. He took over the troops of Chen Duan and the Wang family. After a brief integration, he formed the Shenwu Army that could absolutely reflect his will.
Each member of the Shenwu Army is like a tiger out of a cage, hot-tempered as fire, and unafraid of death.
On the battlefield, it is a bulldozer that moves forward bravely and sweeps away everything.
The never-ending supply of food and wages and the fierce and brave soldiers were not enough, so Gu Qingcheng also came up with a lot of "black technology".
Hot air balloons, hanging high in the sky, can not only detect enemy situations, but also serve as a "divine force descending from the sky" at critical moments during sieges.
The combination of clairvoyance and hot air balloon could become an invincible lookout tower in ancient times.
When it comes to deploying troops and attacking cities, this combination is a king bomb.
Of course, the most important thing is the small porcelain bottle.
Black powder, a hot weapon, even the most basic version, can crush the enemy in this space and time.
There is more than one set of king bomb combinations of four twos, big and small kings.
It directly crushed the Northern Dynasty with a dimensionality reduction attack.
Yuwen Heng first got the "Dream of Past Life", and then got the so-called "Immortal Magical Artifact" (that is, the system). He was full of confidence and ambition.
He assisted his father Yuwen Song to successfully move to the position of Grand Chancellor Yuwen Quan, and when Yuwen Song was proud of becoming the new emperor, he turned around and betrayed his own father.
In the end, he stepped on the corpses of his relatives, stood at the pinnacle of power in the Northern Dynasty, and became a new monarch.
Yuwen Heng plans to increase investment in the research of small porcelain bottles, treasure ships, etc.
In order to prevent Gu Qingcheng's troops from going through the sea and landing directly at the port, he specially sent people to Tianjin to set up control.
The port of Tianjin was tightly sealed and even the coastline was monitored.
However, what Yuwen Heng did not expect was that he thought he had predicted Gu's prediction, but the fact was that Gu Qingcheng predicted his prediction.
Gu Qingcheng did not take the sea route at all, but let Wang Qi, the madman, lead the army directly, like a crazy bulldozer, pushing directly from south to north.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Is Yuwen Heng too superstitious about the so-called dream prophecy and the system cheat? Has he forgotten where I beat him to a pulp? Jiangling! Honey! That place was originally a fortress on the river.
It was the core strategic location for the war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
After a great battle, Gu Qingcheng completely defeated Yuwen Heng and took over Jiangling.
Gu Qingcheng also used Jiangling as a base and continued to advance northward.
One of her sharp knives had already stabbed into the Northern Dynasty.
What Gu Qingcheng had to do next was to select a capable general, hold the sharp knife tightly, and attack the heartland of the Northern Dynasty! Wang Qi was the best general.
He and his soldiers, from top to bottom, were all extremely fierce.
With Gu Qingcheng's constant provision of logistical support and the assistance of various black-tech plug-ins, we were able to make rapid progress.
Unstoppable!
No defeat!
It only took half a year for Wang Qi's army to reach Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Dynasty.
The speed was so fast and the power was so fierce that even Yuwen Heng, who thought he was blessed by heaven, was caught off guard.
However, no matter how stunned or unbelievable it was, the cruel reality was already before them—the Southern Dynasty army had besieged the capital.
The enemy is at the gates! The fall of the Northern Dynasty is imminent! Yuwen Heng is not someone who gives up easily, and he will not be a king who surrenders and loses his country.
He weighed the matter over and over again and decided to lead his remaining troops to escape from the capital.
He used a secret passage told to him by the "system" and escaped before Pingcheng was breached.
"...Back then, the Gu family escaped from here?"
After coming out of the secret passage and looking at Pingcheng not far away, the dusty Yuwen Heng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He didn't think about how Gu looked when he was on the run, he just hoped that he could have the same "luck" as Gu.
Today's escape will lead to a strong return tomorrow!
Yuwen Heng led the remaining troops and fled the capital.
He had a large map given to him by the "system", so he knew that to the north was Liaodong.
Further north from Liaodong is Goryeo.
Although that land is not as rich as the Celestial Empire, it can still be a temporary shelter.
He can use that piece of land as his base and utilize the various magical methods given to him by the "system" to develop well and accumulate strength.
Either we fight back one day, or we just go out to sea and look for more vast lands on the big map!
…
In this way, Wang Qi conquered the entire Northern Dynasty after half a year of fighting.
However, he did not gather his troops and take advantage of the opportunity to declare himself king. Instead, he presented all of this to Gu Qingcheng with both hands.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Looking at that face which was still crazy but without that obsession with love, she was a little dazed.
Alas, it's not him! However, the soul is gone, but the body is still so loyal.
Wang Qi became the most valiant, loyal and reliable god of war under the throne of the Great Qi Empress.
He is a die-hard fan of the Empress.
Not only did he fight for the empress in the north and south, he also used his madness and killing to defend the empress's majesty.
In the court, Gu Qingcheng once again mentioned moving the capital.
"When the new dynasty is established, the north and the south are united, the people of the country are united, and everything is renewed!"
"I know that it is difficult to start a business, but the affairs of the capital are particularly important—"
The capital of the Southern Dynasty was Jiankang, and the capital of the Northern Dynasty was Pingcheng.
One in the south and one in the north, both are options for the capital.
However, this time, Gu Qingcheng achieved unification from south to north, and the Southern Dynasty was the victorious party.
Since ancient times, the victorious side has had absolute autonomy and strength.
The court officials of the Southern Dynasty would instinctively believe that the capital of the new unified dynasty should be in Jiankang.
Go to Pingcheng? What a joke. Wouldn't that mean the Northern Dynasty is the winner?
Although the courtiers who surrendered from the Northern Dynasty lacked confidence, many of them were from old and established families in the north.
If we count carefully, two or three hundred years ago, they had the same origin as many famous families in Jiangzuo of the Southern Dynasties.
They all have the same ancestor.
It's the same lineage.
In fact, they are more resolute than those noble families who fled to the Southern Dynasty.
They did not flee! They defended their ancestral land! Moreover, in this battle, these noble families also secretly helped the Southern Dynasty a lot.
If they had not secretly tipped off the troops, or helped raise and mobilize food and money, Wang Qi's army would never have been able to advance thousands of miles!
They are all meritorious officials, why should they swallow their anger in the court? !
The two groups quarreled with each other, and when the mood got bad, they would start fighting.
The court is far from being as grand and majestic as people imagine. Sometimes, when it gets noisy, it's no different from a vegetable market.
And those high-ranking, noble and honorable court officials would not only spit at each other, but also roll up their sleeves and hit people.
A grand court meeting can often cause chaos and uproar! Gu Qingcheng watched coldly.
After watching for three months, the court officials were tired of arguing and fighting, and Gu Qingcheng finally spoke out her decision:
"Make Chang'an the capital!"
Neither Jiankang nor Pingcheng is the best choice.
The territory of the Celestial Empire was too vast. In ancient times when transportation and communications were not well developed, the location of the capital was extremely important.
The Celestial Empire no longer had any territory to the south, let alone any enemies.
To the north, however, there are vast grasslands and lands, and endless nomadic peoples.
The location of the capital city is somewhere north of the center.
Furthermore, Gu Qingcheng also believes in "the strict selection of ancestors."
The fact that Chang'an could become a thousand-year-old capital was definitely the result of careful consideration by emperors of successive dynasties and ancestors of successive generations.
In her previous life, Gu Qingcheng also considered with Yuwen Heng for several years and finally chose Chang'an.
The correct answer is right there, why not use it? As soon as Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, the court began to argue again.
"Although Chang'an is nice and has an abandoned palace, the city has long been abandoned!"
"If we move the capital to Chang'an, we will have to rebuild the palace, which will require a lot of construction and a lot of manpower..."
"...Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
If it were just this kind of discussion of "sticking to the facts", it would still be considered a normal court meeting.
But there are some people who have bubbles in their brains.
As we were talking, the topic turned to gender.
There was something implicit in the words that reflected Gu Qingcheng: She is a woman after all, and she just can't think things through!
As soon as this person spoke, the hall, which was as noisy as a vegetable market hall a second ago, became silent the next second.
Everyone, especially the officials of the Southern Dynasty, looked at the official who was suspected to be from a noble family of the Northern Dynasty as if he was a brave man (retarded).
"Damn it, are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Maybe he has never seen the world!"
"It's over, it's over, that lunatic is going to--"
Before the courtiers of the Southern Dynasty could finish their complaints, a huge knife flew in front of the minister who was still chattering and had no idea that danger was about to come.
The blade grazed the tip of his nose and penetrated vertically into the floor half an inch in front of his toes.
Swish! The blade was too sharp, and even though it didn't cut my nose, it still cut it.
Blood dripped down.
The minister was so frightened that he dared not move. His body was stiff and he fell straight down.
"Who else?"
Wang Qi folded his arms across his chest and stood out from the queue.
He walked slowly up to the man, raised his hand, and pulled out the knife.
After brushing off the remaining blood on the blade, Wang Qi looked at the audience with pride, "Who agrees with your Majesty's proposal? Who opposes?"
The whole audience was silent.
As Wang Qi's gaze swept over them one by one, the court officials first nodded vigorously, and then shook their heads vigorously.
They agree!
They have no objection! Woohoo, Your Majesty, don't even mention moving the capital to Chang'an, even if you move it to the grassland, they have no objection!
Your Majesty, please take your mad dog away immediately. It's just a matter of moving the capital. You have the final say! Wang Qi used his absolute strength and terrifying madness to attract all the firepower.
With him taking the initiative to take the blame, Gu Qingcheng is a wise, tolerant and communicative good emperor.
In addition to Wang Qi, there were also Jiang Chi and other ministers.
They are all loyal and capable.
Gu Qingcheng doesn't need to do everything herself to get the best results.
With the assistance of these people, Gu Qingcheng began to realize his plan step by step.
He moved the capital, implemented the imperial examination system, selected and appointed female attendants, and allowed women to take the imperial examinations.
Build the Grand Canal and continue to develop Lingnan.
He launched an expedition to Goryeo, opened up waterways, and encouraged the development of maritime foreign trade.
…
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Someone else wants to 'imitate others'!"
After dealing with government affairs, Gu Qingcheng returned to her own bedroom. Just as she was about to have a good chat about life with a young hunk, the evil water in her sea of consciousness began to jump.
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows: "Is there anyone else who wants to become me?"
The so-called "Dong Shi Xiou Pin" means that there is another imitator of Gu Qingcheng, the "rebel".
Gu Qingcheng devoured the main system and obtained everything from it.
There is not only immeasurable supernatural power, but also countless small worlds and contracted executors.
Although, Gu Qingcheng adheres to the principle of fairness and maintains the minimum values and bottom line.
But, people are greedy.
Perhaps, Gu Qingcheng felt that as the main god, he was fair and strict.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the eyes of the executor, she is a typical example of "the dragon slayer becomes the dragon".
The butt determines the head, and the identity determines the position.
The executor and the main god are two beings that are destined to be "opposed".
Gu Qingcheng has become the new "capitalist", and the "workers" who do not want to be exploited will naturally rise up in resistance.
And the most important point is that Gu Qingcheng herself "rebelled to power".
She set an example for all the executors! Gu Qingcheng: ...
Does this count as "I woke up from my dream and found myself to be the villain"? There was another rebel who tried to overthrow her, Gu Qingcheng, and replace her. Gu Qingcheng did not feel panicked.
bring it on!
It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I can have some fun with this rebel.
I just don't know whether this rebel got any help from the Bugs.
Huoshui: ...You really think everyone is you, Your Majesty! Even if there are bugs again, they are still your loyal dogs.
Not some random person!
Sure enough, a certain executor who thought he had found a loophole in the main system was easily suppressed by the main god Gu Qingcheng as soon as he showed up.
The so-called "uprising" didn't even cause a big splash.
Huoshui picked his nose proudly: ...Humph, you know how powerful I am now! Do you still want to imitate Your Majesty?
It's really ridiculous.
The biggest bug in this system has always been His Majesty's "Pure Love God of War".
Although they perished together with the previous main system, they still represent the most core and secretive set of codes, guarding Your Majesty!
"Misfortune, how wonderful!"
Just when Huoshui was feeling smug, Gu Qingcheng's soul suddenly let out a sigh.
Huoshui didn't react, and nodded vigorously following Gu Qingcheng's words, "Yes, how great!"
"That's right! I am the first empress in the history of this world. Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, there are people standing in front of me. I just need to follow my ideas and fulfill my dreams."
"In this other world, I am the supreme god, I own three thousand small worlds, and I have countless executors who do tasks for me and earn special energy. Even if these people want to resist, there are guardians to eliminate them for me--"
Whether as a woman or as a superior, she has definitely reached the pinnacle of her life.
pity--
"It's fake, it's fake after all!"
"The illusion is ultimately just an abyss that leads me to indulge!"
Gu Qingcheng spoke softly and gently, words that made Huoshui feel "terrified".
"Fake? What's fake?"
"Illusion? Where is it?"
The little idiot was so scared that he started stuttering.
Gu Qingcheng was quick to grab a small ball of light and said, "Huoshui, the dream is very good and makes me very happy."
"But, the time has come, we should wake up!"
After saying that, Gu Qingcheng stretched out his other hand.
Swish! A flash of cold light appeared, and an extremely sharp Moonlight Sword emerged from her palm.
There was no need for Gu Qingcheng to hold the sword herself, the spiritual sword, which was shining with the cold light of the moon, slashed directly into the void.
Bang! The tip of the sword touched the center of the formation.
Boom! From high in the sky, there was a faint sound of fierce air breaking.
Then, the illusory system space disappeared instantly.
Instead, there is a house that is quaint, full of spiritual energy and looks like a fairyland.
Gu Qingcheng doesn't even need to open her eyes, she can see everything clearly with her spiritual sense——
In the room full of ancient charm, a beautiful girl in red was sitting cross-legged.
She had a calm expression and was concentrating on meditation, not being disturbed by the outside world at all.
And around her, talismans and formation plates were scattered all over the ground.
This was obviously destroyed by a thunderstorm.
"What a demon in my heart!"
"What an ordeal!"
Gu Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes.
This is the real her——
Gu Qing, the eldest sister of Shenxiao Palace, the number one sect in the Xiuxian Continent.
After practicing to the tribulation stage, one is about to ascend to the upper realm.
She cultivated herself from a mortal to a quasi-immortal. She did not have noble ancient bloodline, nor was she an immortal who had trained in the lower world.
She has the credit of saving the world.
However, a thousand years ago, the Feixiantai was destroyed, and no cultivator in the Xiuxian Continent could ascend to heaven anymore.
Gu Qing was unwilling to give in, so she turned to practicing the ruthless way in order to ascend to heaven.
A moonlit sword cuts off all love and affection, just for cultivation.
At the last moment of ascension, he fell into a huge inner demon because of the various karmas he owed when practicing the ruthless way.
Or maybe someone else is secretly trying to sabotage her ascension.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng had a so-called past life and present life. She was originally a peerless beauty, but now she became a peerless ugly woman! Fortunately, there is still a "troublemaker".
Yes, the evil spirit! It was not some mentally retarded assistant, but the sword spirit of her life-defining magic weapon, the Moonlight Sword.
Realizing that Gu Qing had fallen into an inner tribulation, the sword spirit urgently activated the ancient artifact that Gu Qing had accidentally obtained - the Three Thousand Mirrors.
The sword spirit wants to use the three thousand mirrors to let Gu Qing experience a different life, improve his state of mind, and control his inner demons.
However, what Gu Qing encountered, besides his inner demons, was also the enemy's conspiracy.
The Three Thousand Mirrors not only have three thousand small worlds, but also the main system, villain scripts and other traps.
What is even more worrying is that the sword spirit has already consumed most of its spiritual power just by activating the Three Thousand Mirrors.
The only remaining spiritual power can only allow it to sneak into the "main system" and become a mentally retarded assistant.
The sword spirit turned into a disaster. It forgot its own identity and origin, and only remembered that it must not let its master "fall".
Therefore, it repeatedly emphasized that its owner should be a good person.
Maximize your character value. Even if you cannot become a saint instantly, you cannot be carried away by negative emotions such as selfishness, indifference, prejudice, hatred, etc.
Fortunately, Gu Qing had a strong mind. Although he was bewitched by his inner demon and the Three Thousand Mirrors, and although he said "I won't be a pushover", he raised his character value to the highest level and accumulated countless merits and faith.
Finally, she completely broke through the layers of illusions.
"The Dao is clear but has sunshine! The ruthless Dao does not mean to be completely heartless and loveless, or to be cold and ruthless. Rather, it means to be ruthless to people but kind to the common people."
Gu Qingcheng broke through the illusion but did not stop meditating.
She was realizing that the tampered Three Thousand Mirrors had imprisoned and bewitched her, but it also gave her the opportunity to improve her state of mind.
She finally understood that the so-called ruthless way is actually to transform small love and affection into great love and justice.
If you love all people, you will naturally love everyone.
And God loves the world.
Boom! Gu Qingcheng felt as if the last shackles that restricted her cultivation were shattered, and she was supported by a gentle and firm force.
Gu Qingcheng herself couldn't see, but her surroundings were shrouded in a dazzling golden light.
"Look! Senior Sister has survived the inner demon tribulation!"
"...Did the senior sister really achieve great success in practicing the Way of Mercilessness?"
"She's going to ascend?"
Gu Qingcheng slowly, slowly flew into the air.
In the huge Shenxiao Mountain, everyone saw her.
A few days ago, there were 81 thunder tribulations that almost turned this beautiful fairy into charcoal. Fortunately, her junior brother and master protected her with all their strength, which helped her survive the thunder tribulations.
Unfortunately, the most domineering and rare inner demon calamity dragged her into the illusion again.
This time, no one can help her but herself.
Nine days have passed. Everyone originally thought that this number one cultivation genius in the world of immortal cultivation would sink into the illusion and eventually die.
Unexpectedly, she actually "flew" up.
Is this a breakthrough from the illusion? Is she about to ascend to heaven? Everyone in the Shenxiao Palace looked up at the woman in the air, shining with golden light, with different looks in their eyes and endless discussions.
Suddenly, a girl in white in the crowd vomited blood.
Her spiritual platform, dantian, etc. were directly shattered.
"Dare to blaspheme? You will suffer backlash!"
A cool young man standing not far from her had a cold look in his eyes.
"...Yes! I harmed her, the best senior sister, so I got retribution."
The girl in white no longer had the cuteness she used to have, instead she looked unwilling and resentful.
She knew that she was ruined and could no longer practice.
She is already a hundred years old, but is still a youngster in the world of immortal cultivation.
But in the mortal world, longevity is already a very rare thing.
In fact, at the moment her Dantian and Lingtai were destroyed, she began to age rapidly in changes visible to the naked eye.
Before her lifespan was completely exhausted, the woman in white began to attack the boy crazily: "I'm going to die soon, and I deserve it!"
"I shouldn't have targeted and framed my senior sister just because I was jealous of her."
"But even if I am bad, I am bad in an open and aboveboard manner."
"What about you, Junior Brother Demon God? Do you dare to reveal your identity and feelings to your 'dear' Senior Sister?"
"Do you dare to admit to her that you also had a hand in Three Thousand Mirrors?"
"How dare you—"
The woman in white has turned gray-haired, but she still wants to output crazily.
The cold and arrogant young man didn't give her any chance at all. He just pinched his fingers lightly, and bang, the old woman in white fell down.
"...I really don't dare to reveal everything, but I will still follow in the footsteps of Senior Sister!"
The boy killed the annoying ant without caring at all.
He raised his head and looked at the woman who was about to break through the sky, "Big Sister, it seems that you have successfully practiced the Way of Mercilessness."
"The Tao is not clear, but there is sunshine! God loves the common people, but I am also one of them, so you love me too, right?"
Whoosh! The young man turned into a black gas, closely following the figure shining with golden light, and disappeared into the world of immortal cultivation, ascending to become an immortal...
PS: Hehe, it's completely finished!
PPS: It just happened to be Women's Day. I wish all the sisters a happy holiday. I hope everyone will not be wronged, not waste their energy, love themselves, love their families, and be healthy and happy forever! See you in the new book next week, mua! (*╯3╰)
