Chapter 5: Choosing an Emperor
This monk's name is Zhu Yong, and he is also a great monk of Yuanying, originally practiced outside the pass, and only recently entered the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty was crowned king, he took refuge under the command of King Bai, his status is quite high, it is best to enjoy it wantonly, some mortal lives are not put in his eyes at all, and his practice methods are miscellaneous, one of which is to sacrifice blood and qi to practice.
It is not easy to find every suitable Ding furnace, and Zheng Laosi is one of them.
"I set up a talisman on each Ding furnace, and I followed several disciples to protect me, and I died in an instant?" Zhu Yong frowned. "It's hundreds of miles away..."
He snorted.
"Ding Lu is a mortal after all, too fragile..."As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a talisman appeared in his palm, and his thick lips moved slightly.
Whizzing
Two figures appeared in the room in an instant, no one could see how they appeared, and the few beautiful maids waiting were careful not to look up.
These two figures, both wearing pale yellow robes, have withered faces, and the palms exposed in the sleeves are even more like chicken paws, and the wrinkled skin is attached to the palms. It seems that it has reached the end of its life, and it will be buried at any time. They stood respectfully in front of the big fat man and bowed like servants.
"Go, see what's going on in that furnace." Zhu Yong said.
"Yes. Master. The two figures bowed and saluted again. Then the figure drifted away with the wind like a puff of smoke.
"You go on."
The big fat man closed his eyes again and gave a leisurely command. The four beautiful maids who were waiting immediately served more attentively.
Village on the hillside.
Zheng Laosi suddenly set himself on fire. The black flame immediately frightened Xu Shan's family, and even more frightened several companions around him.
"Cultivator!"
"It's the cultivators who are making a move."
The faces of several companions changed drastically, this black flame must be a cultivator's means.
"Let's go." They were ordered to protect Zheng Laosi, and even met almost all of Zheng Laosi's requirements, that was relying on the cultivators behind them, and the deterrence of the cultivators was too terrifying. They didn't want to bury their lives here, seeing that the cultivators were making a move, where did they dare to stay, they immediately turned around and left.
They ran away.
Xu Shan's family was overjoyed after the panic. No matter what happened, Zheng Laosi died, which is a good thing.
"Retribution!"
"Let's go, let's go back to the house."
Xu Shan took his wife and children and turned around and went back to the house, where Xu Chuan was still sitting at the table and tasting a plate of braised pork in front of him.
Xu Shan came in and gave his wife and daughter a look, Xu Ning and Xu Ya immediately turned around and went into the house to clean up, while Xu Shan walked to Xu Chuan's side.
"Brother Xu, brother can't keep you here, thank you again for saving your life." Xu Shan picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all.
"Oh? What happened? I just heard a commotion outside..."Xu Chuan laughed.
"To tell you the truth, it's a little troublesome." Xu Shan didn't hide it, and briefly told Zheng Laosi about it.
"That black flame must be a cultivator's means, it may be that Zheng Laosi provoked some cultivator, hey, this white-eyed wolf who will take revenge, deserves to die, but there is also a cultivator behind him, who died in front of my house, under the anger of the cultivator, my brother is afraid that there will be no peace here, my brother is going to go into the mountains to hide, Brother Xu, you and I will leave it alone, if you are not thoughtful, I hope it is not strange." Xu Shan said sincerely.
He still didn't think that Xu Chuan was a cultivator, he knew that Xu Chuan must be refining qi and being a cultivator, otherwise how could a seemingly thin young man dare to walk in the mountains, Xu Chuan is a capable person, but refining qi and cultivating are two completely different levels.
Xu Chuan smiled.
"Big brother thinks thoughtfully, it's not strange or not, but you want your brother to help?"
"Brother Xu, don't get involved." Xu Shan said.
At this time, Xu Ning and Xu Ya, who had already packed up in the back room, walked out, and the mother and daughter each carried a burden behind their backs. Xu Ya's lips pursed lightly, her eyes stared at Xu Chuan, a simple girl in this mountain village, as if she wanted to reflect the man in front of her who was only a one-sided relationship in her heart.
This is the benefactor who saved her father.
But he is also a handsome young man.
Which girl is not pregnant with spring, the Ruyi Langjun in Xu Ya's mind is like this. However, with the reserve of her temperament and the current situation of her family, she will never say anything.
Xu Chuan got up and arched his hand,
"Okay. We'll leave it at that. ”
"Brother Xu, these jerky and baked cakes, you can keep them on the road and eat them." Xu Ya quickly stuffed a small burden into Xu Chuan's arms.
Xu Chuan took it with a smile.
Xu Shan took the mother and daughter and immediately walked towards the back mountain.
When Xu Shan's family left, Xu Chuan sat down again.
A talisman appeared in his hand, it was the Celestial Guardian Talisman. Through the order of the Tiance Guard, Xu Chuan already knew what was going on in the world.
The case of Jin Yanwei broke out, King Yan made trouble in the capital, Xia Jin was held hostage, and then King Yan and others left safely, and the king was sacrificed.
Xu Chuan is not unaware of the matter of the Wild Goose King, and even he is a participant! When he fell into the Abyss Cave that day and carried out the inheritance of the Ten Tribulation Caves, Xu Chuan had already received a summons from Princess Miaoyin.
Princess Miaoyin once heard Xu Chuan talk about fighting side by side with King Yan on the battlefield of Xiamingguan, so as soon as Jin Yanwei had an accident, Princess Miaoyin sent a message to inform Xu Chuan, Xu Chuan heard that 60,000 Jin Yanwei died in vain, and his first reaction was anger, and his second reaction was to think of King Yan. What kind of character is the King of Wild Goose, how could he swallow this breath, and then Xu Chuan thought of the scene of the King of Wild Goose dying in the city seen in the future catalogue.
That city wall is not the city wall of Xiamingguan, it is the city wall of Xia Capital City!
Xu Chuan vaguely guessed what the King of the Wild Goose would do, and dissuasion could not be dissuaded, only rescue. So, Xu Chuan contacted the Meng commander next to the Ming King, the Meng commander had just successfully crossed the robbery, cultivated into a Yuan Ying, concealed his identity and hid in advance in the emperor Junwei, the emperor Junwei is the military guard under the command of the Qi Emperor, as long as there is an accident in the capital, the emperor Junwei must be in the front, which is the closest to the king of Yan, and then Xu Chuan sent a message to Liu Gonggong.
He has no friendship with Gonggong Liu, but Gonggong Deng still has some, when Gonggong Liu sent the edict to Xu Chuan, his attitude was extremely respectful, the eunuchs, especially the eunuchs of this Yuanying Great Monk, what do they care about the most?
Xu Chuan didn't blackmail Father-in-law Liu, he just gave Father-in-law Liu a choice.
Gonggong Liu chose to make a move.
The king of geese was saved, and the Xia Emperor announced to the world, and the king was sacrificed. It seems that it was a matter of killing Jin Yanwei's 60,000 military guards, and finally touched the scales of Emperor Xia.
Now that the king has risen together, the cultivators in the nineteen states have assisted the favored king, but it is the people of Dawn who have been affected the most.
"At any time, there are injustices, and the court has no control, and there are more injustices." There was coldness in Xu Chuan's eyes. "Xia Jin changed the laws of the imperial court and relaxed the constraints on cultivators, and Emperor Xia did not interfere, or even let it go.
However, Xia Jin designed to let Jin Yanwei's 60,000 soldiers die in vain at the hands of the demon clan, which angered Emperor Xia, and directly issued an edict to open the king sacrifice.
Xu Chuan now also understands what the psychology of the Xia Emperor is, the Xia Emperor protects the Xia Dynasty, but he is only a pillar, and the manager is the imperial court. As long as it doesn't involve the demon clan, Emperor Xia is at the mercy of the imperial court.
The court is stricter, he doesn't care, the court is lax, he doesn't care.
No one is perfect, and a person's personality is even more complex. Emperor Xia is a strong man, a leader, but definitely not a benevolent person.
Xia Jin stepped on the minefield and stepped down.
Now there is a chance to re-establish a lord of the court, a new emperor, so this emperor, why doesn't Xu Chuan choose a Ming monarch he likes?
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan couldn't help but groan, saving a person is just a small merit, if it is to save a country, it is a great merit.
"Here we are." Xu Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, this kind of evil cultivation, dare to appear in front of him, how could he let it go, just now the luck option has emerged, choose to stay, get rid of the cultivator behind Zheng Laosi, and increase the public opinion by three hundred! Prestige plus three hundred, luck plus fifty.
Whoosh.
Two figures suddenly appeared in the room, both of them were wearing light yellow robes, and looked coldly at the young man in Tsing Yi in front of them.
