Chapter 203: The Best of Both Worlds (Two in One Chapter)
In three days, with the help of Wu Min and others, 300 zhang of the underworld was dug under the underworld.
Huo Quai, as a coolie, was squeezed by Ji Le day and night, but under the stimulation of high labor, the martial soul further contracted, and a more pure martial arts power appeared in his body.
Shi Huang and Ji Le drink tea under the peach tree. Of course, this tea was brought in by Ji Le from outside. According to the current desolation of the underworld, there is no tea and no pure water for the two of them. Moreover, using the diet of the underworld, the imprint of the underworld will appear in the body, transforming from the living to the dead.
Feeling the smoke of qi and blood coming from the well, Emperor Shi drank tea slowly: "You deliberately let Huo Qubing take the lead in doing coolies, just to want him to stimulate his own potential and comprehend divinity when he digs the well through the underworld?"
"I have this idea, but how can it be so easy?" Ji Le sighed: "His strength will now reach the peak of the Six Dings, and if he wants to step into the demigod realm of the Seven Dings, it is far from it." β
At the very least, the reason why the demigods are called "gods" is the key to their realm. At this point, Huo Quzhi couldn't touch his eyebrows.
Huo Quzhi, who focuses on bravery and military affairs, even if he signs a contract with Ji Le in his personal capacity now, he can't really get used to the rules of the barbarian era.
When Ji Le condensed the divinity of civilization, he almost died once, and then through the faith of 100,000 people, he condensed his own divine brilliance. Huo Qubing has no faith in sacrifices, let alone his own exclusive path, how can he condense divinity from the martial soul?
"Just hope to give him some pressure. β
Suddenly, Ji Le's body was shocked, and his face changed slightly: "It's not good, something happened to Yang Ke's side!"
"Yang Ke, isn't the matter with the Nangong clan over?"
In the past few days, haven't the two lived in peace for the time being?
"It's Pei Lei! Sister sent news that Yang Ke and Pei Lei had a fight!"
"Pei Lei?" Yuan Xi, who was breathing in the sky with nine yin winds, landed, and she stood on the treetops: "He has come to the Xia Kingdom?"
"Probably. "But Ji Le, as the spirit of the country, has no sense at all, how did Pei Lei get in?
A few people didn't dare to slack off, so they called Huo Qubing and Wu Min to hurry back to Jiugong City.
......
On the second day of the rainy night, when Ji Le and his party were heading to the underworld, Yang Ke walked out of the secret room.
Seeing Yang Ketong's red eyes, Nangong Qingyan knew that he hadn't slept all night. Not only him, but also himself?
She walked over and helped Yang Ke wash.
"Just now, Her Highness came to me. She comforted me and told me that His Highness was looking for a way to break the curse. β
Hearing this, Yang Ke was surprised. It's only been a night, and Yang Ke has to admire Ji Le's action.
Nangong asked in a low voice, "This child, can't he really live?"
"......" Yang Ke pursed his lips, he didn't have much hope for Ji Le's actions.
His greatest tolerance for this was to start the sacrifice again when the people had three months of zero birth.
"When the hell did you find out about this?"
Calm down and think about it, Nangong Qingyan can hide herself, there must be someone behind her!
"This is what Madame Di told me. β
Di Yuan!
Yang Ke's face was ugly, and he made a note in his heart to the pregnant girl.
Nangong Clan's expression was miserable: "But if you want to talk about doubts, you already have them in your heart." β
"When he had a fever that day, you took him to the doctor. Then he said that he was seriously ill and died young, but I can see that the child is your husband...... "Nangong was emotional, and he couldn't say anything at all.
Although the concubine doesn't understand the specific reason, as a mother and as a wife, she still understands. β
They are not the gods of this world, and killing relatives is commonplace. For the Nangong clan, she could hardly bear this cruel truth.
Yang Ke's body shook, revealing an expression of disbelief. That was the eldest son of him and the Nangong clan, could it be that at that time, Qing Yan had a guess?
"I wanted to ask about the inside story that day, but I could see my husband's expression, and finally I couldn't bear to speak. Nangong's expression gradually became blank: "This matter, I originally just regarded it as my own speculation, and I thought it was just my imagination after the loss of my son. β
"It wasn't until Mrs. Di told me the truth that I started to investigate. β
"After all, I am the mistress of the royal court, and I can check a lot of information. β
"I don't know exactly what it is. But I know that after our children were born, no other children were born in the country, and after our children died, other children were born one by one, and the survival rate was extremely high that year. Also, I looked through the records of the Yang family's ancestors. This is also the case with the first exam and the ancestral exam. β
Every time the Yang family dies a child, Xia Guo can usher in a blowout of high production.
Nangong touched his lower abdomen: "So, is this child destined to not live?"
"I'm sorry. β
"Why. Nangong's voice suddenly became louder, knocking over the copper basin: "Why does it have to be our child?"
"If blood sacrifice is necessary, what's the use of just using our sisters' children?
"It has to be Yang, and it can only be Yang. Yang Ke smiled bitterly: "What's more, if you change to the children of other people, can you and I bear it?"
Nangong Qingyan's heart trembled, and she was silent.
"As for the enemy, if the enemy can be used for blood sacrifice, I would rather kill all the countries near the Xia Kingdom. But he didn't want it at all. β
The goddess in the altar signed a contract with the Yang family by name and made this cruel deal with the Yang family.
"I don't want to. But if we don't do that, none of us will be able to be born! As early as my father's generation, our country will be completely destroyed!"
Yang Ke's expression was a little excited, and Nangong Qingyan was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
"I'm sorry. Yang Ke restrained his emotions, looked at the frightened Nangong Qingyan, and said apologetically: "This matter is indeed my shame on you." β
"So, if you will. This is the last child. Looking back, we can reconcile and leave. β
"I've been delaying you for the past few years, and I'm really hugging-"
Smack-
Nangong Qingyan slapped Yang Ke hard, her face was like frost, and she turned to leave.
Covering his face, Yang Ke said dejectedly: "Sure enough, this matter is more troublesome than state affairs, and I am not good at dealing with it." I'm really not qualified to scold Ning Yuan!"
At this time, he desperately wished that he had Ji Le's slick means. Be able to handle all aspects of interpersonal relationships well, not like yourself, neither advance nor retreat.
......
This time, it was replaced by the Nangong clan and ran away.
She took the maid directly back to the old mansion of the Nangong family.
"Pack up, I've been living here for the past few days. β
Nangong ordered someone to clean up the house, and ran to the back garden to relax, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
Of course, she understood what Yang Ke meant, Yang Ke wanted to let herself go and let herself live freely in the future. But how is this kind of thing, especially at this time?
Moreover, how can I bear to use the child in my current womb as a price?
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and two figures, a man and a woman, appeared not far from the Nangong clan.
Nangong Clan's expression was cold: "Why are you here?"
"You left the palace in a rage, and if we stay in the royal court again, don't we want to collide with Yang Ke?"
So, the pregnant daughter and Pei Lei came to Nangong's old house for temporary refuge.
The pregnant woman smiled and said, "I am also familiar with the feng shui bureau here, and I just secretly construct a secret room to avoid the pursuit of those people." "Moreover, this place is not far from Deng Kai's house, and you can still see that kid.
"It's a small place, and it's not as good as the royal court. I don't care if someone hits me. β
"Don't worry, I'm measured. The pregnant woman seemed to remember something, and said: "When I came from the royal court just now, I heard that Yang Ke seemed to be discussing with someone, about the separation of your husband and wife?"
Nangong Qingyan's face sank, and he sneered: "If he wants to marry, he will marry, if he wants to leave, everything in the world will follow their Yang family!"
The pregnant woman smiled and said nothing, and pulled Pei Lei to retreat temporarily.
It's really the right time to come to Xia Country this time. The pregnant woman had a faint premonition that the grievances between herself and the Yang family were finally going to have a real end.
......
The Nangong clan ran away from the palace, and Yang Ke began to prepare for the separation again, which directly provoked a group of old ministers in the Mao royal court.
A group of ministers sternly refused, and Sima Jingwen was even more eager to beat Yang Ke to death with a cane.
Back then, you kept saying that you didn't want to marry Yu Yuan, but you had to be a concubine in Nangong, which caused a big mess in the royal court and the spirit palace. Now that you have finally settled down, do you want to give up Nangong Qingfei again?
Now that the national spirit is still there? The royal court and the spirit palace are already in a delicate balance, and you still want to cause trouble? Aren't you afraid that the prestige of the national spirit will further increase and directly change the royal family?
Moreover, Nangong Qingyan has done her best for you in the past few years, serving the two old ladies of your family and taking care of your three side rooms, what are you dissatisfied with?
When he came to Shangde Palace, Sima Jingwen was scolded angrily.
"Your father asked me to take care of you back then, I don't remember raising you to be such a fool who doesn't distinguish between good and bad!"
"Teacher, you can help me with this matter. Yang Ke rubbed his head: "This may be the best way to deal with us." β
After the divorce, with the current atmosphere of Xia Guo, she doesn't mind the women remarrying, and when the time comes, let Nangong Qingyan remarry, she can have as many children as she wants.
As for his own reputation, I haven't seen it for a long time anyway.
Seeing Yang Ke's tired demeanor, Sima Jingwen was stunned: "What, you don't want to?"
If you don't want to make this request, is it difficult......
"Is it Nangong's idea?Does she know that you are in love with Yu Yuan, or can't stand your lovers outside?" Sima Jingwen suddenly realized: "If that's the case......
Yang Ke's face darkened: "Teacher, what are you talking about?"
I am innocent of Yu Yuan, and I have nothing to do with it at all. Lovers outside, come on, except for a few private rooms in Nulu, where are there others? And these private rooms are not used by themselves, they are all begged by Xun Ningyuan and them.
"What's the matter? Forget it, you don't care about this matter for now, the old man will help you mediate. Heli, can this kind of thing be fooled around? Go back and marry again, and see who dares to marry into the royal court. Is it possible, do you want to pull Yu Yuan's girl in? Come on, people may not look down on you now. β
"What a good girl Nangong is, I didn't object to you choosing her at the beginning. In addition to Taibu's persuasion, this girl also has a good personality and looks like a prosperous husband. β
"You, you must cherish it. β
After listening to Sima Jingwen's nagging again, Yang Ke hurriedly retreated.
Sima Jingwen shook his head and went out to help Yang Ke deal with the aftermath. Therefore, this kind of thing did not spread to the Spirit Palace. was ordered to die by Sima Jingwen and was confined to the royal court.
At this moment, Ji Le was taking Huo to dig the "Well of the Underworld", and he didn't care about the affairs of the royal court, and left it to the woman to deal with it.
The Nangong clan moved out of the palace, which made it more convenient for the woman to bring someone over to explain.
After two days, Nangong's complexion was much better, and after listening to the woman tell the story of her and the king of Shang, her mood gradually returned to calm.
On the third day, she sat by the lotus pond and thought about the future.
"Although it is not difficult to run out now, in case the people are sterilized again, how long can I delay?"
According to the woman, that altar was of great significance to the Xia Kingdom. Now that all the people have lost their fertility, there is no other way but to use the divine power of the altar.
That's right, His Royal Highness Ji Le is thinking of a way. But the three generations of the Yang family have not been completed, how long will it take for His Royal Highness Ji Le?
One month, one year, two years, or ten years?
Yang Ke and the people can't wait so long.
"So, even if I hid in Nangong's old mansion and gave birth to this child, His Royal Highness Ji Le secretly took care of it. But after being born, all the people were sterilized, and Yang Ke would never allow this kind of thing to happen. When the time comes, it will be another cannibalism. β
"Even, how long can His Highness Ji Le shelter himself, how long can he endure? He is the country, and the first interests should be considered by the people. β
At that time, his own strength could not save this child at all. Moreover, it will increase Yang Ke's burden.
"A child after birth and a fetus that has not yet taken shape......" Nangong Qingyan touched her belly, and the blows of the two to Yang Ke were completely different.
"Also, His Royal Highness the National Spirit protects himself, but he wants to cause the destruction of the Xia Kingdom......"
"At this time, I am delusional to keep this child, is it too willful?"
Calm down, Nangong Qingyan is also reflecting on herself.
I have to admit that she is also the beneficiary of Yang's sacrifice.
Without the sacrifice of the first exam, without the sacrifice of Yang Ke's brothers and sisters, it would not be the turn of their generation to be born. She herself inherited the favor of the Yang family, but when it was her turn, she refused to pay. That is, Yang Ke cares about the relationship between husband and wife and endures her willfulness.
"After all, who would really be willing to give away their own children?"
Nangong's heart was entangled.
"Curse - it would be nice if there was a solution to both worlds and let my children grow up with the children of the people. Unconsciously, she read to the lotus pond.
If this problem can be solved, Yang Ke will not have to hesitate left and right, and continue to be entangled in his heart.
"The best of both worlds? Absolutely. Pei Lei suddenly spoke.
After hiding in Nangong's house for three days, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Can't you think of such a simple way?"
"You-" Nangong Qingyan looked around, the woman hadn't come over today, and hurriedly said, "Later, Her Royal Highness the woman will come over, you leave quickly." β
Pei Lei stiffened his face: "I've been here for three days, I've been annoyed for a long time to see you women twittering!"
"It's just that I want double insurance, it's too simple. You wait, I'll solve it right away. That's it, as for crying for so long?"
Nangong Clan's face changed greatly, of course she knew Pei Lei's so-called method.
But this method must not be used!
"Wait-" She lifted her dress and walked over, "This is an internal matter of my Xia Kingdom, and it is not your turn for outsiders to interfere." β
"Hmph - I'm not for you, but for the child in your belly. Pei Lei stared at Nangong's belly, with a bit of sympathy and tenderness in his eyes.
Unconsciously, he associated Yang's fate with his own.
He was regarded as an outcast by the Thor lineage and used to bear his sins. How similar is it to those innocent children of the Yang family?
Therefore, Pei Lei has no good impression of Yang Ke. It also raises a protective mentality against these innocent children. This is similar to Won-hee's idea.
These two divine sons who bear the sins of the Protoss, even though they have different ideas and paths, they are both willing to pour their kindness into these pure and flawless children.
Because in these children, they can see their own shadows.
The Nangong clan planned to use spells to stop Pei Lei. The man squeezed his hand and directly smashed the fire spell with thunder.
"A guy who sacrifices his own child, this kind of person you still protect? Heβthere is no value in living. β
"Don't worry, when you turn around, you support your son to be the king, and this throne is still the Yang family's. β
That's right, if you want to protect the people of the whole country and plan to protect the children of the Nangong clan, the way is very simple.
Since the Yang family can only live one per generation, then let this child be the last one, force Yang Ke to commit suicide, and continue the life of this child!
After speaking, Pei Lei immediately turned into thunder and rushed to the royal court,
"Wait-" Nangong panicked and recited the incantation again, in a vain attempt to stop Pei Lei.
"Little girl, let me handle this kind of thing. No matter how cruel the Yang family is to us women, it's time for them to pay back. β
Mrs. Di suddenly appeared, and a mana interrupted Nangong Qingyan's spell.
In front of this Spirit Palace senior, the Nangong clan's shallow mana was not enough at all. Within two moves, he was knocked to the ground by Mrs. Di.
Then, Mrs. Di also chased after the royal court, intending to settle the grievances today.
I was going to do it again in half a year. But since Pei Lei plans to make a move, let's strike first!
"Hmm......" Nangong Qingyan felt a tingling pain in her abdomen, and her face turned pale. was by Mrs. Di, she had already had fetal gas.
Fortunately, the woman arrived in time to save her, and after asking what happened, she hurriedly summoned Ji Le.
......
The thunder rushed into the royal court, and soon flew towards the southern jungle under the light of a fire.
The dense forests in the southern part of the Xia Kingdom were ravaged. It was first occupied by a group of foreign beasts, then cleaned up by Huo Quzhi and Deng Kai, and most of it was destroyed by Yang Ke and Huo Qubing a few days ago. Now, the battle between Yang Ke and Pei Lei is ushered in again.
Under the thunder and fire, all the trees turned to charcoal.
Yang Ke, who was bathed in flames, looked at the scorched earth coldly and asked Pei Lei: "What are you doing here?"
"Do what? Help people do justice. Pei Lei snorted: "If you know each other, hurry up and commit suicide." If you are really that great, just kill yourself to give your son a life!"
Yang Ke squinted: "The pregnant girl has been in contact with Nangong with you?"
"Don't worry, this time it has nothing to do with your wife, I can't see it. Pei Lei rubbed his hand, and Lei Guang condensed a nine-foot-long wide iron sword in his hand.
"I've been holding back for a long time, and I'm going to have a fight by the way!"
The thunder sword swung down, and dense thunder shot out from the sword body, and the area within a radius of one mile was all shrouded in the attack range.
Thunder!
Under the sword, all living beings were destroyed, and even the land was swept away.
"Damn the gods!" Yang Ke has also been holding back his anger these days, and when he saw that the other party's move was a killing move, he simply put on his armor and picked up the divine sword to fight Pei Lei.
"In our country, you don't want to be too presumptuous!"
Mrs. Di was the first to arrive, and when she saw that Yang Ke and Pei Lei were fighting fiercely, she secretly stretched out her hand and condensed a witch doll.
But later, she hesitated for a moment, and did not directly sneak attack with a spell.
"With Pei Lei's character, he doesn't seem to like me doing this. β
For the sake of this companion, Madame Di endured for the time being.
The best ending is naturally that Pei Lei kills Yang Ke and forces the curse to be temporarily sealed, delaying it until twenty years later.
Suddenly, a violent wind filled the sky, and a cheerful laughter rang out: "Your Highness the Thunder God, since you have come to the Xia Kingdom, why don't you come to me?"
In the sky, the goddess of gold fell slowly: "Our unfinished battle can start now." β
The endless divine wind enveloped the thunder light, extinguished the flames, and enveloped the land within a radius of ten miles in its own divine power.
"If you want to fight, why don't you count me as one?"
After Yuan Xi, Ji Le, Huo Quai, and Shi Huang came one after another.
After seeing Mrs. Di and Pei Lei, Ji Le's face sank: he couldn't feel the traces of these two people in the Xia Kingdom at all, how did these two guys get in? As a person from the Xia Kingdom, could it be that Mrs. Di had other secret methods?
He squinted his eyes and said coldly to Pei Lei: "Xia Guo has a good relationship with the Thunder God Temple, Your Excellency is here, do you want to go to the Thunder God Temple to say hello?"
"You don't need to use the Thunder God Temple to press me, I'm here just for Yang Ke. As a national spirit, I believe that the Yang family's disgusting deeds can't hide it from you, right?"
Young's business?
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and his attitude eased a little.
And Ji Le looked at Yang Ke with an inquiring look.
Yang Ke hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice: "They don't know where they heard the wind. β
"Oh?" A trace of killing intent flashed on Ji Le's face, but he immediately reined in and looked at Pei Lei quietly: "Lord Shenxiao, as the god of the Fa-rectification, I believe in his justice. As a descendant of Thor, His Highness will also be a righteous god. What do you think of Yang's approach?"
Impartial?
Pei Lei sneered, but when he mentioned the matter of the Yang family, he said seriously: "A group of poor women, because of the persecution of the Yang family, their children cannot be born in this world and cannot be qualified to become mothers. β
"And it is the most shameful thing in the world to let innocent children bear the sins of adults!"
In a trance, Pei Lei thought of himself. A small child, forced to bear the sins of the entire divine vein, and then locked up in the temple and raised. No one paid attention to their own cries, no one cared about themselves.
All adults want is profit.
In the end, I was not saved. But the child in the woman's womb was different.
Pei Lei looked at Yang Ke with murderous intent on his face. As long as Yang Ke is killed and the curse is replaced in advance, that child can grow up smoothly.
"The spirit of the nation. I know you're looking for a way to save Xia Guo. Isn't there a win-win solution now?"
"Forcing Yang Ke to death, his child can survive, and his wife does not have to suffer the pain of losing her child. And you've got twenty years to figure out how to crack it. He can even support his youngest son and hold the throne for twenty years. Isn't that the best thing to do for you?"
Kill Yang Ke and support the posthumous son to ascend to the throne?
Shi Huang and Huo Quzhi were stunned, with strange expressions on their faces. Isn't this the plan they had originally discussed? But at that time, Yang Ke had no son, so there was no real conflict between the two sides.
But now......
Indeed, the death of one Yang Ke in exchange for a win-win situation for everyone. For now, it may be the best way.
