Chapter 11 Guiding the Country
Li Jing's trip can be described as a futile. He shook off the cold-faced people he met on the road, and found that the number of cold-faced people in the city began to increase. The people hiding in the houses are shivering, not only worried about the wind and snow that will leak in the houses and kill them, but also the cold-faced people who look like people but can also "eat people". The wall against the wind and snow is the wall of life and the wall of despair. The people trapped in the house were saved for the time being, but their future was also trapped together. If they can't open the door, they have no hope of survival, and there won't be too much food stored in each house, after all, people in the city don't have the habit of spending the winter. Li Jing saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything about it. Maybe bringing them to a crowded place solves loneliness at most, but a person on the verge of despair can easily infect other people who still have hope. In the end, Li Jing returned to the royal city alone.
Back at the house where Jiang Mengsheng was staying, Li Jing entered the house, looking embarrassed to say that he hadn't done anything on this trip. Jiang Mengsheng didn't blame him, he heard from his mouth that there were many cold-faced people in the city who had turned into snow and would attack all humans with warmth, Jiang Mengsheng was even more worried about the safety of the people at this time. Li Jing's strength alone is definitely not enough, although there are also people in the forbidden army who train with him, and there are more or less a little resting beginners, but they are not useful. For example, Fu Qinggu is also the fur of a little bit of cultivation, but he can just take the qi out of his body, revealing a small ball of qi on the palm of his hand, and he doesn't know what he can do with it. In this way, only that book saint is the talisman who can save Pei'an City. Even if Han Xizhi hates the demons to the core, and she is still dissatisfied with Jiang Mengsheng, who is subservient to the demons, she must save the surviving people in this city. She decided to come forward in person and ask the Shusheng to open the enchantment for the people of Dawn. Li Jing had a very bad impression of that book saint, he was an unruly, proud and arrogant person. Even if he was indignant and heroic, why didn't he directly challenge the demons like Yan Qinghou or Sword Saint Duan Tianyun, but instead would only talk nonsense behind his back. If it weren't for someone else confirming that he was a book saint among the four great rune saints, Li Jing would not have believed that the declining scholar would be a rune master. But Jiang Mengsheng wanted to go in person, and Li Jing had no choice but to accompany him.
Fu Qinggu felt that she was really like a useless peasant woman this time. Jiang Mengsheng, who was one year younger than her, knew that she would do it for the country, but she couldn't help anything. She touched the magic ring in her hand and asked Ah Zi, the instrument spirit in the magic ring, "Ah Zi, will you change an enchantment to come out?"
Ah Zi replied: "If the master will, then I will too." I learned all my skills from my master. The previous master wouldn't have enchantments like this, so Ah Zi wouldn't. β
Fu Qinggu was very disappointed this time, feeling that her husband was just a reckless man. It is said that he is the king of the demon world, but he can only use his hands, dance knives and guns, and he can't use any of these techniques that can save people. Then she thought of an idea and asked Ah Zi: "Let me ask you, if you watch someone else cast a spell, can you also learn it?"
"It should be okay, Ah Zi is unforgettable. β
After getting Ah Zi's affirmative answer, Fu Qinggu was very happy in his heart. She thought that if Jiang Mengsheng came to the door in person, the guy named Shusheng still refused to help, so let Li Jing go and fight with him. When the fight starts, the book saint will definitely put some sigils out. At this time, let Ah Zi steal the rune, maybe he can learn how to use the enchantment. So before Jiang Mengsheng set off, Fu Qinggu also asked to go together. Jiang Mengsheng didn't want her to go out because Fu Qinggu was pregnant, but Fu Qinggu insisted on going together, and said that there was a way to find a way to make an enchantment even if the book saint was unwilling to cooperate, so Jiang Mengsheng asked her to go with her.
On the way, Jiang Mengsheng grabbed Li Jing's hand, so that Li Jing's qi could be integrated into Jiang Mengsheng's body, and the barrier could also be opened for her. Although Jiang Mengsheng is from the Nuwa clan, he doesn't know anything about cultivation methods, and can only use some treatment methods that he knows. Fu Qinggu summoned the machine spirit Ah Zi from the magic ring, and Ah Zi opened the barrier for her. On the way, they met the cold-faced man, and the two women were surprised, but they didn't expect that even if they had already known the cold-faced man's situation from Li Jing's mouth, it was still difficult to accept the kind of "human" whose whole body was composed of ice and snow, and had no flesh and blood and facial features. Fortunately, the cold-faced people did not move quickly, so they avoided the cold-faced people and walked outside the place where the cultivators were hired.
Soon, they came to the room where the book saint was. The book saint in the room also knew that Li Jing, who had left before, had returned, and there were two more people around him. Among them, there was also a person who only had a spirit but no soul, which made him a little curious.
The frozen door was shattered by the people inside, and the moment the door was opened, Li Jing walked into the house with Jiang Mengsheng and Fu Qinggu.
The room was very crowded, Fu Qinggu and Jiang Mengsheng were both women, and they were very conspicuous in this place where there were only sloppy men. Although the cultivators in the room are all prodigal men in the rivers and lakes, they still behave appropriately and know how to respect women. After all, the other party is a princess, and it makes people a little in awe from the status of their status. The resters offered to make a way for the princess to walk through the open space in the middle. On the other side of the open space, the book saint Han Xizhi continued to write on the table, even though he knew in his heart that Jiang Mengsheng was already approaching him, but his face still did not change, he did not look up at people, and continued to write with a brush on the table. Until Jiang Mengsheng was already standing in front of Han Xizhi, he still didn't react.
Looking at Han Xizhi, who was unruly and had such a disrespectful attitude towards the princess, Li Jing was very angry and wanted to go up to reprimand him, but was stopped by Jiang Mengsheng. Jiang Mengsheng looked at the Shusheng who was practicing calligraphy, judging from the appearance of the clothes and temperament, it was indeed different and outstanding. She made a noble woman's salute, saluting an ordinary person in the body of a princess. Jiang Mengsheng knows that in the face of disasters, there should be no more dignity and inferiority, and human beings should be equal. After she finished saluting, she said to Han Xizhi: "This palace is the acting ruling princess Jiang family, I heard that Your Excellency is a world-famous talisman master, and has the magical power of eight immortals to cross the sea. For example, today it is like a change, and suddenly heavy snow swept the world, and the people are not happy. I implore the gentleman to take action and create an enchantment to save the people of Pei'an City from the dire suffering. β
After hearing Jiang Mengsheng's answer, Han Xizhi finally stopped the pen in his hand and put the pen back in his sleeve. Then, he turned his head a little impatiently and looked at Jiang Mengsheng. He neither saluted, nor stood up, but still sat on the stool, watching Jiang Mengsheng not speak. He looked Jiang Mengsheng up and down, thinking that the pillar of a country was currently in the hands of a woman who was no more than ten years old, which really made him cry and laugh. This is the most failed place since the creation of the dynasty of mankind, as a traditional person who has been educated by feudalism, Han Xizhi believes that the politics of a country are far less terrible than being controlled by a woman. Men in this world all think that women should not be able to do anything and be nothing except for marriage and children. Han Xizhi is this kind of scholar with pedantic thoughts, such a person is still a book saint, this is the most ridiculous place. Han Xizhi's contempt for Jiang Mengsheng was actually not just because she bowed down to the demon clan, but because he thought that women were useless animals in his bones.
"You're a princess, how old are you, and you dare to act as a state minister?" Han Xizhi said with a little contempt.
Jiang Mengsheng also swallowed this insult, and said in a good tone: "Indeed, in terms of experience, this palace is indeed not qualified to act as an agent for state affairs. But it is not the palace alone that governs the country, there are many talents in the palace, and they can all make the people of the world prosperous and powerful. The main palace is just a faΓ§ade, and it has nothing to do with age. The main palace also often sees the national history of various countries, isn't there also many countries that send a baby boy who has just passed the full moon to the throne? Could it be that in the eyes of the gentleman, the age of the young man in the main palace is not as good as a child who can't even speak and has not yet lost milk?"
Jiang Mengsheng's response this time was sonorous and powerful, so that Li Jing and Fu Qinggu behind her silently applauded her in their hearts. Han Xizhi only realized this time that the little girl he despised was indeed not simple, it seems that it makes sense that she can become a national political agent, and sure enough, people can't be good-looking. Han Xizhi stood up this time and saluted Jiang Mengsheng, which was regarded as a recognition of what she had just said.
Seeing that Han Xizhi's attitude had changed, Jiang Mengsheng struck while the iron was hot and said: "Since Mr. is a hero among the people, he must be broad-minded, and the people need your help, please also ask Mr. to help save the people." β
I thought that Jiang Mengsheng's sincere attitude and personal visit could make Han Xizhi change his attitude, but this book saint was just eating the ancients, and he was still not shocked in his heart. Han Xizhi looked at Jiang Mengsheng, and finally said: "It's just an enchantment, I'll come with a pen." Jiang Mengsheng thought that Shusheng had agreed, and a happy expression appeared on her face, but Han Xizhi's follow-up answer poured cold water on her face.
"However, you have to tell me, as a human being, you actually rule the human world for the demons, what are your intentions?"
This sentence suddenly plunged into the hearts of Jiang Mengsheng, Li Jing and the others, Li Jing was even more furious, and the sword in his hand was clenched tightly, wanting to teach this book saint a lesson. However, although Jiang Mengsheng's heart fluctuated, there was still no change on his face. She understands that there are many people in this world who think of Han Xizhi, but Han Xizhi dares to say it in front of her.
"Sir, this sentence is very good, and it is also what everyone here wants to ask in their hearts, right?
"Hehe, do you really have to wait until that day to show up?"
"How did you see that day really existed, sir?"
"Joke! This kind of thing will not be seen by a discerning person? A person on a chicken farm who raises a flock of chickens and feeds them food every day, will he still spend money to give them a happy ending? Isn't the result obvious, and the result of those chickens is only to become a meal on the plate? You still don't understand this metaphor? We are like the chickens in the chicken farm, and they will eventually become food in the mouths of the demons. Everyone has known about the cannibalism of the demon clan since ancient times, could it be that a princess of the royal family doesn't even know about this thing?" Han Xizhi's words were sonorous and powerful, and he completely said his heart. This is the bottom line of a human being's heart, and they can't accept another race to manage them, because it will feel like their fate is not in their own hands.
Jiang Mengsheng hurriedly explained: "Demon kings, they are not what you imagined! They are also like us ordinary people, there are good and evil, and they are the kind of good, and they have never hurt people." β
A few months ago, the demon clan raised an army to invade the Qi country, which was the king of the Qi country or Jin Shijie, the strongest king of the six countries. But in that battle, the Demon King's spell evaporated the lives of tens of thousands of people from the world. It's just a hand-raising, and it actually took the lives of tens of thousands of people, and you dare to say that they are good people?" Han Xizhi was obviously angry.
"That, that's ......" Jiang Mengsheng felt that he couldn't be influenced, closed his eyes to nourish his qi, and then calmly replied, "Indeed, many people died at that time." But in what war did no one die? Is it the one who kills or the one who raises the army?"
Han Xi was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. Jiang Mengsheng continued: "It is true that the Demon King deprived tens of thousands of people of their lives at that time, but before that, the Demon King had personally come to the front of King Qi Jin Shijie and told him to surrender, otherwise many people would die. But Jin Shijie was reckless and treated the lives of tens of thousands of people as child's play. Wait until the moment when the army is defeated, and then blame the demon king who killed people. Don't you think you're too narrow-minded? Which war has the right reason? Those who don't know each other, and the people opposite them have no grudge against them, but they want to draw their swords and kill each other. Who's at fault? Is it the fault of those who want to live and draw their swords to kill each other just to survive?"
Han Xizhi was speechless, but he would not be so willing to think that the demon clan was the savior of the real world. He simply broke the can, sat down in the chair, and said, "You are very sharp, but I will not change my mind." You can find someone else for this rune!"
As soon as he heard Han Xizhi's words, Li Jing was sure that the other party had no intention of communicating. Fu Qinggu poked his finger in the back and secretly told him that he could adopt another plan. Li Jing comprehended, pulled Jiang Mengsheng, who wanted to continue talking, behind him, and said to Jiang Mengsheng: "Princess, as you can see, in front of you is just a scholar who reads dead books, not a hero who can save people. He can't even get out of his own one-third of an acre, how can he save the people of Pei'an City and even the whole world. This kind of person who can only talk kung fu, let me teach him a lesson for you!"
Jiang Mengsheng wanted to stop Li Jing, but was pulled by Fu Qinggu. Fu Qinggu told her that the book saint would not agree, and the current way was to let Li Jing fight the other party, and let Ah Zi, the instrument spirit in the magic ring, steal the other party's sigils, so that he could save the people as quickly as possible. Jiang Mengsheng saw that the matter had come to this point, and he could only use this method.
Seeing that Li Jing was provoking himself, Han Xizhi finally couldn't sit still. He stood up silently and said to Li Jing: "You kid, you are not small, and your tone is bigger than mine. β
"How can you have a big mouth. Listening to your nonsense for a long time, I couldn't help it for a long time. Since you don't want to help, then I'll fight until you do!"
"Okay, I happen to be tired of sitting down, show you this stinky boy how small he is!" Han Xizhi took out the pen from his sleeve, which was called "pointing the country", and it was really a bit similar to today's scene. A person who doesn't understand the country can still hold a pen to guide the country.
Laughing at the wind and clouds out of my generation, how can my generation be a Penghao person.
