108 Elves
"It's her!"
Su Chen's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously gathered his thoughts, ready to withdraw from the dream world at any time.
Fortunately, the woman didn't seem to notice herself.
Compared with what she saw ten years ago, her figure has become more transparent, and her divine thoughts seem to have become much weaker, on the contrary, Su Chen's divine thoughts have increased, and now Su Chen feels that the strength of her divine thoughts may not be weaker than that of the other party.
So, the woman didn't notice his existence.
"Strange. It stands to reason that people's divine thoughts will only continue to improve as their cultivation grows, and unless they are hit hard, they will not be weak and regressive. Who is this woman? ”
He was a little confused.
After confirming that the strength of his divine thoughts was not weaker than that of the other party and that he could leave at any time, Su Chen was relieved and decided to take a good look in secret.
Judging from the image of the manifestation of the soul, the woman should not be very old, she looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a good appearance, eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes like stars, a standard beauty embryo, wearing a white long dress, graceful figure, fluttering in the aura, like a fairy in a dream.
Of course.
The dream world is unpredictable, as long as the divine mind is strong, she can change her form at will, so Su Chen is not sure if this is her true face.
Maybe it's a hundred-year-old foot-picker, or some kind of goblin and ghost?
While speculating.
The woman in white had already finished reading Gu Yinghua's dream, her eyes showed pity, and she sighed softly: "Another poor person." I can't help you get out of the misery of reality, but at least I can let you have a good dream......"
said.
She reached out and tapped her jade fingers.
There was a ray of divine light, which split out from between her hair and fell into a dream, like a rain.
The darkness of the distorted and corroded dream seemed to be dispelled a lot in an instant, and in Gu Yinghua's dream of only hatred and pain, a small white flower bloomed, and then it continued to expand like a tide.
In the dream, Gu Yinghua resigned and returned to his hometown, his mother was still alive, his wife and children were still alive, and he was smiling at the entrance of the village......
"So that's how her divine thoughts were consumed?"
Su Chen was a little surprised.
He couldn't figure it out, how could a strong man who could cultivate to the point of falling into a dream have such a simple and kind heart, and he did not hesitate to spend his divine thoughts, just to let a person he didn't know have a vain dream?
What's the point of doing that?
He couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the figure of the woman in white flashed, and she had already withdrawn from the dream portal, Su Chen had the intention to explore, and secretly followed.
It soon became clear that she had entered another person's dream again.
The man was just an ordinary peddler and pawn in the city, and there was nothing special about it, and the dreams were just the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, trivial things, but the woman watched them with relish.
She constantly wanders in people's dreams, like a legendary dream elf, looking at all kinds of pictures in the dream.
When she encounters a vicious person, she will punish him and give him a nightmare.
When she meets a poor person, she will weave a sweet dream to give that person a moment of comfort.
When she encounters depressed people, she will also take action, so that people can see some hope for the future.
In this way, she kept shuttling through the dream realm, doing some things that seemed boring or even meaningless to Su Chen.
And the aura on her body also became a little weaker.
Although the consumption is very small and small overnight, if the years go by, this consumption will only decrease but not increase, and I am afraid it will be difficult to last for a long time.
"Who the hell is this? It's not like the kind of powerful person who has cultivated the immortal world for many years, doing these things is like an innocent child who has not been deeply involved in the world. But if such a person is really like this, how did he fall asleep? ”
Su Chen was puzzled in his heart.
He followed the woman in white for a long time, and found that the other party had been wandering aimlessly in the dream galaxy like this, with no goal and no sign of leaving.
It's just that when he is extremely sleepy, he sleeps in the depths of the dream space, like a homeless kitten.
Somehow, Su Chen actually had some pity for her.
But it is still unclear the identity of the other party, and Su Chen did not rush to contact him, but just watched silently for a while, and then withdrew from the dream space.
"Let's wait a little while, let's see. Anyway, she hasn't found out about my existence now, so there shouldn't be any danger. ”
Thinking about it, Su Chen opened his eyes on the enlightenment futon.
The matter of the woman in white couldn't affect him for the time being, so he didn't care too much.
However, Gu Yinghua, since there is the shadow of the Witch God Sect behind him, he is afraid that the plot is not small when he returns to Beijing this time.
Even the master of the Witch God Sect behind him secretly entered Beijing.
In order not to startle the snake, Su Chen is not good at it for the time being.
So he tried to urge the divine thoughts, covering the inside and outside of the imperial city, trying to explore some clues.
But alas, in the end, there was no gain.
With his current divine thoughts, he can only explore the inside of the imperial city at most, and make sure that there is no innate aura above the surface, but the outside is too big, the population is large, and the aura is mixed, and the other party really wants to hide, and without making a move, Su Chen will not be able to find out.
"Now that the Great Chu is prosperous, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and if the Nanban wants to recover, it must cause turmoil, and the wise and martial Emperor Jin should be the best target."
Come to think of it.
Su Chen decided to make some preparations.
He shook the brass bell and summoned King Kong from dormant in the darkness, ordering him to go to the Guanyun Pavilion arsenal and station.
This is done because the legend of the sacred bird of Chu has long spread all over the world, and now the world knows that Chu has a strong man above the innate to sit in shelter.
This may attract the attention of some of the best players in the same division.
If the Witch God Sect really has an innate master entering the capital, and if he wants to make a move in the imperial city, he will inevitably find a way to solve it or transfer the master from the palace first.
Su Chen placed King Kong here, also as a bait on the bright side.
As for whether it will work, it is uncertain for the time being.
"Father-in-law Su, someone brought some pastries just now, and I put them at the door for you."
At this time, Xiao Lizi's voice came from outside the door.
This little eunuch has now officially moved to Kwai Yuan, serving Su Chen, and taking care of the chores in the garden by the way.
is quite diligent and understands the rules.
Every once in a while, Jiang Yan would send someone to send some pastries in the name of the emperor, which incidentally attached various information collected in the palace recently.
Xiao Lizi never asks too much and looks more.
This made Su Chen very satisfied.
He also passed the method of dreaming and examined Xiao Lizi's past, with his mediocre background, mediocre qualifications, and no great ambitions.
is just an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary.
"Well, we got it."
Su Chen said, pushed open the door of the secret room, walked out, and found that Xiao Lizi was a little pale, and his steps were vain, as if he was suffering from the cold.
I couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Sick? You're too weak. ”
When Xiao Lizi heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Father-in-law Su can rest assured, it's just a little illness, and it won't delay the ......affairs of the garden."
"That's not what we meant."
Su Chen shook his head, this kid is good at everything, but his courage seems to be too small, and his personality is a little weak.
He thought about it, threw a yellowed book on the table, and then took another Qi and Blood Pill, and said, "Even if you are working under our family, this body is too weak." Taking this elixir can make you feel better faster, and when you are okay in the future, you can practice the above martial arts. This is the Taizu Long Fist created by Taizu, and it is enough to strengthen the body......"
Hearing this, Xiao Lizi was pleasantly surprised.
Although I know that I don't have any talent for martial arts, it would be good if I could strengthen my body, and I immediately thanked him for a thousand thanks.
Su Chen didn't care too much.
This little eunuch is too ordinary, and he doesn't expect to achieve anything, he just thinks that the other party is obedient and pleasing to the eye, and he just gives a little benefit appropriately.
Send Xiao Lizi back to rest first.
Su Chen lifted the basket in his hand, there were some delicate pastries made by Shang Shan Jian in it, Su Chen picked it up and tasted it, it tasted pretty good.
With his current cultivation, he doesn't have to worry about someone poisoning, and the poison in ordinary mundane areas can't hurt him at all.
Under the basket, there is a hidden mechanism, which contains some letters, all of which are some intelligence information, about the changes in the palace personnel, as well as the big and small things in the court, no matter how big or small.
Su Chen took a general look, and there was nothing worth paying too much attention to in the palace.
It's nothing more than those harems of Emperor Jin, the open and secret battles between the queen and the favorite concubine, but they are still within the scope of the rules, just ignore them.
However, the confrontation in the court was far more intense than imagined.
The state of Chu has been peaceful for many years, the national fortune is prosperous, there is no external trouble, and the power struggle between the court and the central government is highlighted.
Although the Son of Heaven is strong, the people below don't dare to have any delusions, but there are also factions between each other.
Now the court of Chu State can probably be divided into two factions.
One faction is the new prime minister Zheng Hailou headed by the scholar group, most of them are the Jiangnan wealthy clan who contributed to the rebellion of the Southern King, taking advantage of the decline of the imperial capital Shi clan, replaced the new powerful people in the court, now the power is very large, there are many friends, the political position is to the interests of the scholar clan first, called the old school.
The other faction is more inclined to support the Son of Heaven's various new policies to benefit the people, most of them are Qingliu who was born in the imperial examination and promoted through meritorious service, and the reformists led by Liu Changqing, the secretary of the ministry.
The two sides have different political views, and they often compete for interests, and the children of the two families gradually compete for power, and the corners of the door have intensified.
When Su Chen returned, he saw that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was beheaded by the whole door was a victim of this struggle.
In the process of this struggle, Emperor Jin pretended to be deaf and dumb on the surface, but secretly supported the reformists.
Because although the state of Chu seems to be strong over the years, a large part of the interests have actually gone into the pockets of the scholars, and the treasury is not as full as imagined.
The scholars have killed one stubble after another, and they cannot be roughly cut off, and they must fundamentally solve the problem.
Therefore, Emperor Jin is currently planning to implement two new policies.
The first is the authority of the salt and iron franchise, which was taken over from the imperial court from the hands of the scholar lords.
The second is to pay taxes to the nobles, cancel all kinds of tax-free policies for their business and industry, and restrict the nobles from using their rights to compete with the people for profit.
If these two measures can be implemented, the treasury will have a large amount of money to do more.
But this will also shake the fundamental interests of the scholars, and they will fight back desperately.
Therefore, to achieve this goal, we need to take it slowly.
The reformist faction, which is composed entirely of clear streams, is the sword in the hands of the emperor, just like Lin Fan back then.
It's just that for now, it is the Shi clan that has the upper hand, and in the process of these battles, Gu Yinghua, who joined the army in Dali Temple at the time, took advantage of his position to deal a heavy blow to the Qingliu officials, and for a while, everyone cursed.
"This Gu Yinghua, I'm afraid I'm not playing some kind of Infernal Affairs, right? If my prediction is correct, it won't be long before those scholars and officials will be planted in the hands of this man......"
Su Chen shook his head.
The affairs of the DPRK and China are extremely complicated, and he only understands them slightly, and will not rush to interfere.
With the mana in his hand, he burned the letter, and was about to rest for a while.
Suddenly, there was a burning heat from his sleeve, and he hurriedly lowered his head and found that one of the talisman seals was burning.
It was the seal he left for Tsing Yi Lou to use in times of emergency.
Tsing Yi Lou, it seems that something has happened.
