But you can just look at the methodological stuff as entertainment, don't learn to do it, especially in the anti-corruption aspect. History textbooks will tell you that Shang Ying's reform made the Qin state strong. But only the history books will tell you that Shang Ying was immediately divided by the nobles after the emperor who was his backer was hanged. In such a large empire, some things have become as deeply ingrained as a cancer, and you can't just get rid of them when you are young and vigorous. Don't try to do something big in such and such a way, it will only hurt you. ”

“…… Who is Shang Ying?"

“…… It doesn't matter who that character is...... In short, you just remember my last sentence, the heart of the people, naturally there are wise and resourceful loyal ministers to assist you. For the rest, let it be. ”

"Can't I change this even if I become emperor?"

"You are not the only candidate to become emperor."

“…… This is what the book says, people in the rivers and lakes, can't they help themselves?"

"Sort of."

……

For a high demon who is not in a state of soul weakness, to be killed by mortals. is an impossible thing. Their powerful and dark souls make it easy for them to escape even if their bodies die, and then find a parasite to store - provided that they are not killed by the Church's Cardinal Priest when they escape.

Deposit, not devour. Because even if it is a demon, death will cause a lot of damage to the soul, making the demon in a state of soul weakness, plus between different souls, there are certain laws to protect their individuality. Wanting to devour a demon who has just lost his ** body. It's not an easy thing to do.

However, even if it is a deposit, for the demon, it is necessary to choose the host again, because the demon in a state of soul weakness can easily be driven out of the spiritual world by the host. And it is precisely because of this that the prototype of the demonic contract appeared.

The demon uses its vast knowledge to grant the host's wishes. Each time, there will be a certain condition in exchange. At first, it was a language trap. Gain the right to live in the spirit world, and then, step by step, seduc, until the host sells his soul as well—and many times, the host is afraid that he will not realize that he is making a deal with the demon.

And once the demon contract is established, then the demon will be very safe to hide in the host's body, protected by the power of the contract, even the priest who casts the eye of the heart will not be able to discover the existence of the demon - of course, this also depends on the level of the demon and the strength of the priest - this matter is the secret of the demon contract.

And Aryat, as the personal attendant of the Demon King, although her level is a few points higher than that of the high-ranking demon, this does not mean that she can be exempt from vulgarity.

She had now found a good host, a greedy, ugly, despicable woman, and the only good thing that Aryat could look at was that this woman had a really good figure, but that face...... It's really going to hell, and she's sorry for the demon people - that's why she works in a bar in the imperial capital, wearing a mask.

Many people who don't know the situation, just looking at her figure, she is still a peerless beauty, and as a result, she comes here every day to drink and hook up. And this woman is also a little self-aware, although she looks very good in a very beautiful dress and has an ambiguous eyebrow with all kinds of men, but she has never come really, she is not tempted, she thinks too, but she does not dare and can't--the more the men who want to seduce but can't get it, come here every day to drink, hoping that one day the bar will make the business prosperous.

And it's not that there are no men who want to overlord the bow, but they are often thrown out by the bodyguards invited by the bar owner just after they make a move. The reason why the owner of this bar took in this woman who almost didn't starve to death on the street to work in his bar was because he took a fancy to this woman's figure, and then took advantage of the bad behavior that men didn't get the more they wanted, and the feeling that the opportunity seemed to be right in front of him and then reached out and grabbed it fiercely, which was enough to hook countless men tirelessly, how could this bar owner let this woman have an accident? even secretly assigned two bodyguards to this woman to protect her safety, and let her live in her own home.

As for Aryat, although this woman's face is too sorry for the people, if she was killed in the past, she should not choose this host, but for the sake of this figure, and for the sake of this woman's incomparable greed, Aryat decided to stay in this woman's body.

Probably due to the injury caused by her appearance since childhood, women don't seem to have much education in the empire, a country with a more developed level of education, and it's very easy to deceive, Aryat says that she is a lost wishing elf, looking for a way back, and wants to stay with a woman for the time being. The ugly woman immediately agreed. And in return, Aryat granted her a wish.

The first wish is, of course, the most beautiful face in the world.

I rolled my eyes at such a wish. Aryat, who possessed powerful illusion powers, was able to grant her wish with ease, and even carefully read the details of her face. Although the face created by illusion did not really change her appearance, when everyone saw that it was a beautiful face. Who knows and cares about the face beneath it? And Aryat's detailed inquiry was as if a piece of luxury goods were suddenly placed in front of this woman, making this woman dazzled. The woman herself didn't know what kind of face was the most beautiful, so she thought of a national idol of the empire and decided.

So, the next day. When the bar owner saw the woman, he was stunned. And early in the morning is the time when there are the most men, and then everyone is very strong to fight each other on the ground. But this woman has such a bewitching appearance at the moment, where can she still look down on this bar owner? She felt that she was also a rare chù nǚ body, so she naturally wanted to find a rich businessman to marry and be a rich wife with this look, but how could she, a weak woman, be the opponent of a big man, but this woman immediately thought of Aryat's existence and asked her for help.

Naturally, Aryat couldn't help this woman in vain, and she induced this woman to make the decision to make a second contract. Kill this boss. So. Her former ugliness is no longer known, and she can get back all the money that the man has earned from her, and in exchange, Aryat asks the woman to go to the most luxurious shopping street in the empire and spend it all as she wants.

For such a woman, it couldn't be easier to inspire her infinite **.

Next, more and more wishes naturally appeared. The woman has also changed from marrying a wealthy businessman to marrying an upper-class nobleman, and even marrying into the royal family, Aryat naturally increased her bargaining chips again and again, in exchange for the right to use this body. Every day. She can use this body for an hour at any time, during this time. The woman will not have any consciousness, and with the demon contract signed, the woman will not even have a chance to regret it.

In fact, such an ugly woman, Aryat didn't have the slightest idea of using her body, but there were times when she had to do it, such as ...... Right now.

"What? Plans change, and why is that...... Shoot at him instead? What about the original plan, and how can you be sure that they are alone?" Aryat looked at the shadow in front of her, and when she heard the news he conveyed, she couldn't help but feel a little angry and strange.

This plan was originally designated by her, and it was naturally unhappy to be instructed to modify it.

"The villain can't be sure, but that's what Lord Podessa meant, sic."

The meaning of the shallow layer is unquestionable, and the deeper layer is the shadow and does not know.

Hearing this name, Aryat's face obviously sank, and after a low snort, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Where is Lord Podessa now?"

"Your Excellency is not in the Empire." In other words, you can't see him, it's not negotiable.

"He should come in person, that stinky boy's willpower is unusually strong, even if I can charm him for a while, but my current strength, this charm can't last long, it's not enough to make him succumb at all."

"There are more important things than that."

"Then I need support, send me five high-level demon mages."

"Lord Aryath, you also know that high-level demon mages are very rare war resources, beyond the scope of the villain's authority and responsibility, and the villain needs to go back and consult Master Podessa to reply to your answer."

"You just said no, why bother to make such a detour? Didn't I just tell him that my soul is weak now, and he wanted me to ...... Is it difficult to be strong?"

"The villain doesn't know." "But Master Podessa thinks that if you can't even do such a small thing, you might as well let someone else do it." Also, the villain makes a suggestion, not every man must be targeted, you can try to think about the strategy from the people around him. ”

"Do you need to be reminded of this?" Aryat's face sank, "If I could find someone around him, I would have done it early in the morning."

"About this, because this man is good at disguise. So you're afraid you won't be able to find anyone around him for a while. However, Master Podessa will have an urgent mail to you later. It will record in detail the important people he cares about, as well as his girlfriend. It must be very helpful to you. ”

Hearing the Shadow's words, Aryat's heart became even more strange, "How could Podessa know this?" Her subordinates had checked these things, but they didn't have a clue

"You can ask him in person."

Aryat's eyes. "Haven't you seen my sister's whereabouts yet?"

"Nope."

"Phew, you don't know anything. Alright, I'll take care of that. ”

"Yes, though, the adults let the villain remind you one last time. If you mess up again, I'm afraid ...... There will be a penalty. ”

Aryat laughed coquettishly when she heard this, and said, "What kind of punishment, is it to be put in prison?" Or what? Fight? ”

"I guess that's a reward rather than a punishment." The shadow still said lightly, "What the adult means should be to let you give up the right to the dark door." ”

"He's dreaming, get out," Aryat kicked off. Sweep the shadow. But the shadow egg made a gesture of taking off her hat and saluting, and disappeared without a trace, and Aryat calmed down, gritting her teeth.

She hated being pointed at for her plans, not to mention that she was not at all a match for Podsa. If you don't do what you are ordered this time, you won't have any good fruit to eat when you go back

Damn it...... That's it. Let's think about how to enter the palace and set up the magic circle.

……

[Hmm...... What a headache......] The shadow walks in the shadows of the street. He kept turning his hat in his hand, looking at the splendor in his eyes, and a wave of nostalgia flowed in his heart, a world that he was once extremely familiar with...... It doesn't seem to belong to him anymore.

But, in order to save his wife, why care? And walking between light and darkness is really exciting and fun......

[How can I inform the eldest sister that his man is unlucky to be targeted again......]

……

The sultry night, singing and dancing. Different from the magnificent Pang Wei in the Imperial Capital Theater, the performance of the band in the palace at this moment is quite fortunate to have a jasper-like fine style, and there are singers to sing.

Of course, when Feng Liu complained about this, if he hadn't known in advance that this was the Chieftain Band to play, he would have thought that it was a beautiful group that would hold a solo concert.

This time, there are a few core figures missing from the band members who entered the palace to play, all of them are orcs, including the soul of this band for a hundred years, the old drummer of the Totus clan, because in the last big competition, the empire had captured Beamon and "traded" with the orc empire, it seems that some lions on the imperial side opened their mouths, which caused a confrontation between the two parties for a long time. So to be on the safe side, these orc musicians are not allowed to play. And the substitutes for them are the best people in Zhunele's hands.

But Feng Liu knew that there were some problems with the few people who were substituted, but he couldn't say where the problem was.

LeBlanc once analyzed the intentions of the Shadow Society this time, it is nothing more than two situations, the first, the most likely, that is, the same trick used in the concert. The second is to carry out the assassination plan directly, and kill the emperor, the princes, the princesses, and the emperor's closest ministers. The former has a red-clothed sect master, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do it. The latter is more likely to succeed, but it is of little significance to the Shadow Society, unless in just a few months, the Shadow Society has laid an ambush in various important cities of the Empire with enough power to confront the Church.

[I now think I'm afraid there is a third possibility, charming. Feng Liu contacted LeBlanc, [Shouldn't you plan to do something with two women who are a little demon and seem to be sisters? 】

LeBlanc smiled, [The two of them are just singing, you think too much, little ghost. 】

[Do you recognize them?] 】

[Aisha is a very famous female singer in the empire, and finally won the opportunity to cooperate with the Chieftain Band to perform on the same stage in the palace. As for the one named Bilis, she and Aisha just met three days ago because of a folk song event, and it is said that they are Aisha's long-lost sister, and they are born with a beautiful singing voice like Aisha, so Aisha took the risk of bringing this sister this time. It's okay if you don't know Bilis, but after two years in the empire, you don't even know about Elsa? 】

[I don't like to listen to the pop songs of this world...... Wait, you're saying that the one named Bilis and Elsa suddenly recognized each other three days ago? 】

[Yes, what, little ghost, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence, worried that Aryat is fake? LeBlanc smiled, how could she not guess Feng Liu's thoughts, [Don't worry, don't think about it, if it is really related to Aryat, even if she signs a demon contract with her, how can she escape the heart eye of the cardinal sect master? Can you escape the Magic Circle of Light arranged at the entrance to the palace? 】。。 }

Feng Liu thought about it, Aryat was destroyed again this time, and her body and soul should be in a weak position, and it was impossible to have the strength to avoid the eyes of the red-clothed sect master, not to mention the double insurance of the magic array.

[Okay, I'm overthinking. Now, dear, what are you doing now? 】

[Investigate the situation in the palace and communicate with Catherine's sister.] 】

[Catherine? How is she? Feng Liu knew that Catherine had made several communicators, but he was now on the safe side to stay at the scene to prevent accidents, and it was inconvenient to use the communicator to communicate.

[The third floor of the book of murder. LeBlanc sighed, [I seem to be overestimating, she and Wayne have secretly set up four or five dens of the Shadow Society, but there are actually a large number of pseudo-seventh-order people in the Shadow Society...... It is not much different from the real seventh order at all, or even stronger, and the result is that the number of layers of the stacked killing book is not given. 】

After hearing this, Feng Liu pondered for a moment and said, [Seventh Order, not only refers to the strength of combat power, but also the factors of life posture and intelligence, etc., the real Seventh Order powerhouse has relatively strong energy fluctuations when they are promoted, which is quite like the golden light when the heroes are upgraded. However, these people are some tricky ways to reach the seventh order, and they may be extremely strong in combat power, but they may not be able to reach the threshold of the seventh order from the perspective of balance due to the transition of vitality or intelligence overdraft, and the summoning law does not accept these energies. 】

[Eighty percent is like this...... Then do you say sister, am I unlucky or lucky? The two enemies who came to me were all quasi-seventh-order strength, eh] LeBlanc sighed, and suddenly said, [Little ghost, Catherine has found a strange news, I'll go over and check it. 】

Are you leaving the palace? What's wrong, LeBlanc? 】

[Wayne and Catherine secretly caught a messenger of the Shadow Society, but they couldn't decipher the meaning of the letter, it was written in demonic language, I have Alison's memory to easily interpret it, the content of the letter on this messenger is related to you, but the specific information is stored in the soul of the messenger, I went to extract it, I left the palace first. Imp, be careful. 】

[Well, don't worry. 】

……

In addition to pop music. Feng Liu likes to listen to ancient music, of course, it is the ancient style of the Celestial Empire, and he is really not interested in music like opera in the West. The music was usually hypnotized before he went to bed completely, so much so that he almost fell asleep when he sat in his seat - if it weren't for controlling the visions of LeBlanc on the side, he would have had an alarm device and fell asleep.

After ending the call with LeBlanc, Feng Liu got in touch with Akali, who was patrolling the palace. Akali had taken a prophetic potion, and when he had performed a prophetic potion. She searched every corner of the palace, and as a result, the locations of the shadow attendants hidden in the dark parts of the palace were all searched, but there was no Hell Shadow Demon.

Feng Liu looked at his watch, it was already close to half past ten, out of the perspective of the rest of the royal family—you must know that the queen was already seventy or eighty years old—so the concert ended at half past ten, and after that, there was a small midnight banquet in the palace. In Feng Liu's view. It is to invite the members of the band to stay for a supper, and to give the children of the ministers and the princes and princesses a chance to communicate with each other.

Feng Liu, I wonder in my heart, what the hell will this shadow do, the concert in this palace is about to end, and I haven't started yet. Could it be that he and Catherine are thinking too much. Overestimating each other? However, this does not perfectly explain their movements in concert...... Or rather. In the previous concert, they didn't expect anyone to make trouble. So only a few people were arranged. Or is it that the purpose of what they want has already been done at the previous concert, so today's concert can be safe?

Or was their goal at that late-night party after the concert? Feng Liu thought of this, and suddenly felt that this possibility was very high, because at that time, the red-clothed sect leader had already left the palace and wanted to huí jiào hall to cultivate, these days due to the emperor's illness, this cardinal sect leader has not prayed and repented to the god of light for several days, which directly affects his monthly salary summary - the special energy of casting the great prophecy - although Feng Liu didn't know why prayer and repentance could affect this salary issue, and the god stick didn't talk much about it back then, but he always felt that this was very powerful.

And now, the emperor is safe and sound, the cardinal sect leader naturally has to rush to make up for this salary in the past few days, he didn't bring tonight's concert, or the emperor came forward to invite him. And now that the demon has appeared in the magic array and the eye of the mind, there is no trace of the Shadow Society, and it is simply a delusion to ask him to stay based on speculation.

So, when it's time for a small late-night snack, that's the best time for them to start. But Feng Liu was puzzled, the emperor's dormitory was also protected by the Bright Magic Array, and the red-clothed sect master would also escort him all the way to the dormitory, and the Hell Shadow Demon didn't have the slightest chance to make a move.

……
