Dudu.

Anyi.

A total of 50,000 troops from Chu and Li rushed over, taking with them the clans of the Wu State, as well as the craftsmen of the entire Wu State.

There were a lot of obstacles along the way, but they were basically crushed, because there was no formation of an army in the capital.

There is no danger.

Casualties are in the double digits.

It's a miracle.

The Anyi of the capital is inhabited by subjects surnamed Jiang, and it stands to reason that even if it is under the control of the Li State, it should belong to the Jiang State.

It's just that after years of campaigning, Jiang Guo has already recognized the reality.

Their big rear is Anyi, and the dominant power is in the hands of the Li State, and there is only one city on the front line, Suicheng, which is in the hinterland of the Wuyan Alliance, and the iron wall without the support of the Li State cannot be defended at all.

Later, he simply completely vassalized the Li State.

Jiang Taiyuan's father, Jiang Chen, tried to resist stubbornly, but Jiang Yueqing had been operating in Anyi for many years, and had already won the hearts of the people, and finally ousted Jiang Chen from power in a coup d'état and became a veritable empress of Jiang Guo.

"They're coming! Open the gates! ”

Jiang Yueqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the mighty people coming, and immediately led people out of the city gate to greet him.

Just looked around, but didn't find Ying Wuji.

She grabbed one of the Chu generals and asked anxiously, "Where are you Zhenxi Hou?" ”

"He ......"

The generals of the Chu State were about to say something, when an extremely strong fluctuation came from the southeast.

Everyone followed the prestige and found that Ying Wuji had rushed over with the Wu royal family.

Jiang Yueqing was suddenly overjoyed, and beckoned from afar: "Ying Wuji!" ”

The group rushed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, they were in front of the city.

Ying Wuji was covered in blood, and when he saw that he had killed a lot of people along the way, his face was a little silent, he just nodded politely to Jiang Yueqing, and he didn't even wait to line up at the city gate, and directly spread a stone road to the city wall, and hurried up with a group of people.

Jiang Yueqing: "......"

"Alas......"

Jiang Yu on the side sighed softly.

Jiang Yueqing knew what he meant by sighing, and hurriedly said: "I saw just now that there seems to be a comatose person in King Wu's arms, presumably they are in a hurry." ”

Jiang Yu nodded and didn't say anything.

It's been almost ten years, and my daughter is almost thirty years old, and she has already reached the age of getting married.

During this period, Zhao Ning tried to arrange a marriage for Jiang Yueqing several times, wanting to choose a young and promising person from the Zhao clan to marry her, so that Jiang Guo's power could be smoothly handed over to Li Guo, which was originally a happy thing, after all, Jiang Guo now has no foundation to stand on.

Even the Great Qiu Tian clan has almost been wiped out, and there is really no intention of insisting.

A marriage, two families at ease.

But they were all rejected by Jiang Yueqing.

Even Zhao Ning personally proposed, but Jiang Yueqing refused.

That's Qiang Li's concubine!

Who doesn't understand her mind?

After Zhao Ning was rejected, he beat his chest for a while, and looked at Jiang Yueqing for a long time with hatred that iron is not steel.

That night, Jiang Yu had a nightmare in which he dreamed that the surname Jiang had been purged by the Zhao clan by bloody means.

But fortunately, Zhao Ning didn't act because of this.

It's good now.

After many years, Ying Wuji finally came back once.

But it seems that Jiang Yueqing should be waiting for nothing.

But it's not particularly empty either.

At least they nodded politely to this side.

Jiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Let's go?" ”

Jiang Yueqing's eyes drooped slightly: "Good ......"

……

The Lord's Mansion of Anyi.

When Ying Wuji and his party arrived, Zhao Ning and Mi Xingli, who were discussing the purchase of artillery, stood up together.

Originally, let Ying Wuji pull a dream to discuss.

But when Mi Xingli thought about it later, he felt that the sincerity was not enough, and several key cities in the Chu State urgently needed artillery suppression, so he hesitated for a moment and immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Ning, asking Zhao Ning to talk about it.

Only in person can she maximize the purchase volume and compress the delivery time.

But when it comes to the most rising time, Ying Wuji came, with a person's corpse.

"Sister!"

Li Caimei, who was sitting next to Zhao Ning, suddenly turned pale.

The atmosphere in the entire hall fell silent.

"Sugar ......"

Ying Wuji's throat was like swallowing a glass ballast, and it was very difficult to speak, but he still said: "Tangtang, don't worry about it first, things are not without a turnaround, you listen to me first." ”

Let's talk about it.

Directly pulled her hand, took Li Caitan's body, and walked towards the back hall.

Then he turned around: "You two keep talking!" ”

Zhao Ning: "......"

Mi Xingli: "......"

How can this continue to be talked about?

The two glanced at each other, but still didn't follow.

Backroom.

Li Caimei was very sad, and after listening to Ying Wuji's relay, her emotions slowly stabilized.

Leaning on Ying Wuji's shoulder for a while, she wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "Maybe that time was my sister's happiest moment, right?" ”

Ying Wuji nodded: "Hmm! ”

In fact, the longer a person lives, the more afraid he is of death, but at the same time, the more he is afraid of death.

My sister-in-law has been very depressed since she was a child, and she has experienced twists and turns in the first half of her life, and she has lived in full anger most of the time.

Her happiest time should only be the period when she just escaped from the Li family, and the last part of her life.

But the only thing that is truly satisfied from the heart is in the arms of U Thant......

Ying Wuji did not dare to make such a judgment, because no one can represent others.

Li Caimei raised his face: "Can Hua Chao really cultivate the technique of Danqing Soul Crossing?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Ying Wuji nodded: "She works hard." ”

Li Caimei bit her lip: "But sister, she ...... Do you really want to live? ”

Ying Wuji: "......"

He wasn't really sure about that question.

He watched the matter of the eldest sister-in-law and Brother Danzi almost the whole time, and did not deliberately interfere, but he could vaguely guess that Brother Danzi did not dislike the eldest sister-in-law, and the key to the problem was that the eldest sister-in-law could not pass her own level.

She may be more inclined to become a lingering thought of Dan Zige forever after her death.

But this is ...... More on that later.

"And ......"

Li Caimei looked at him and said faintly, "Your path to a saint." ”

Ying Wuji smiled and stroked her cheek: "Don't worry! I'll just worry about these things! ”

"Hmmm......"

Li Caimei nodded, her eyes drooped again, and she looked at her sister's well-preserved corpse, with a sad expression.

Ying Wuji accompanied her for a long time, and when she was tired of crying, she put her on the bed and fell asleep.

I looked at the sky.

It's also approaching the time when the twilight is opened.

He strode to the main hall.

"How's it going?"

Zhao Ning got up, his face full of worry.

Ying Wuji waved his hand: "It's no big deal!" What about you guys, how are you talking? ”

"Thanks to you!"

Qi Xingli couldn't help but smile and said: "His Majesty King Li is very generous and promised me a lot of artillery. ”

Zhao Ning's expression was a little solemn: "Wuji, you come into the house with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Mi Xingli: "......"

The bright smile on her face suddenly became a little strange.

At first, it was just a simple business, but in a blink of an eye, Ying Wuji was brought into the house by Zhao Ning.

What is it?

Mi Xingli fell into deep thought, she felt like she was giving her man to other women to play with for fame and fortune.

Although Zhao Ning is Ying Wuji's wife.

But it just feels weird.

Just now, I was complacent because of my superb negotiation skills.

Now I feel like my head is green.

"Hmm!"

Ying Wuji nodded and left with Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning turned around and nodded slightly at Qi Xingli.

Thereupon.

Mi Xingli's face became even stranger.

"Alas......"

She sat down in her chair and exhaled softly.

I don't know if Zhao Ning will be like himself, putting Ying Wuji in an eighteen-like pose.

How did the phoenix blow it?

……

Posture is naturally non-existent.

Because Ying Wuji was injured a lot, it was naturally no big deal to enter the body of Yu Du, but the incarnation of Ji Dong's blood struggle was too serious.

In short, it hurt some vitality.

Coupled with Li Caitan's matter, how could he be in the mood to do that kind of thing?

Zhao Ning's expression was a little solemn: "Mowgli, Cai Mei ...... her"

"It should be fine!"

Ying Wuji reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "Danqing Soul Crossing Technique......"

Zhao Ning shook his head: "Don't mention the Danqing Soul Crossing Technique, you know that this magical power is very restrictive!" ”

Ying Wuji was silent.

This supernatural power is indeed very restrictive, and it does not mean whether it is the person who draws it or not, because what Tsing Yi has mastered is the authentic art of reincarnation.

But...... The path of the saints.

It has been close to ten years since Li, and in the past ten years, Ying Wuji felt that he was getting closer and closer to the saint realm, but he was never able to break through the barrier, so he specially asked to meet a few saints.

There are Confucian saints who retreat in the country of Qi.

There are also Taoist saints who stay in Taishang Temple and have no intention of going out of the mountain.

Eventually, he came to the conclusion that a true saint must be extremely confident in his own path, and he must go on when he sets foot on it.

In other words, saints must not be selfish.

The reason why saints are able to fit the way of heaven is because they are no longer a concrete person.

Since they have become the Tao itself, it is impossible for them to do anything that is contrary to the Tao.

If knowledge and action cannot be united, there can be no sanctification.

Ji Tong is the most special one among saints, but in fact, it is not special, because his saint path itself is very extreme, and he himself can sacrifice for this saint path, let alone others?

So, he often goes against the teachings he proposes, but without the collapse of the Sacred Heart, because the transgressions in order to achieve the ultimate goal are themselves part of his teachings.

Your own path......

To be honest, it hurts.

Because there is some idealism, but it can be summed up in two points: to make it difficult for the privileged to move and to clear the way for the strivers.

However, Ying Wuji is a realist, and he has made a lot of discipline for himself over the years, refraining from exercising privileges other than the Tao.

But...... Selfishness is hard to change.

If anything else can be overcome, then this Danqing Soul, he really doesn't know how to overcome it.

Just like Tsing Yi back then, because he came to a dead end, he finally chose to commit suicide.

He is facing the same problem.

Kings and ministers can be limited by the law, and the law can change with the development of the country, and slowly fit the path of the saints.

As long as there are enough practitioners, even if they can't reach that ideal state, they will get closer and closer, so that the path of sainthood can be considered clear.

But behind the soul of Danqing is eternal life and reincarnation.

This privilege is enough to completely destroy that ideal state.

Hardly anyone can refuse this privilege.

Especially Ying Wuji, an ordinary man, he can accept his normal birth, old age, sickness and death, but it is difficult to accept that the people around him leave one by one.

It's like winning the battle of the Ping Demon at that time and secretly returning to the Li Palace, but only seeing Zhao Ji's coffin.

He couldn't stand it.

But again it was something he had to overcome on the path to holiness.

Danqing Du Soul couldn't speak, at least not in the way they could think of now.

Otherwise, it will be all eternal and reincarnated, and a large number of privileged classes will inevitably be born.

The existing order will also collapse as a result.

A more complex and complete order......

Ying Wuji doesn't think his brain can think of it.

He suddenly thought of a wild sentence he had said to Luo Yan when he was young and frivolous, "The most important place for the dead to stay is in the coffin."

Now that I think about it, how hard it was.

I just want to give myself a big mouth.

"Hoo ......"

Ying Wuji let out a long breath and scolded with a smile: "Damn! Sanctifying an ordinary man is simply the greatest torture for him. ”

Zhao Ning sighed with emotion: "Who said it wasn't?" But you must go on, and your father should hope that you can walk out of a real prosperous path to prosperity rather than resurrection. ”

"Hmmm......"

Ying Wuji nodded, a little frustrated.

Zhao Ning smiled and held his hand: "Don't be depressed, the Danqing technique may not be repulsive to your saint path." Although Tsing Yi's reincarnation technique is profound, the Hua Dynasty may not be able to make a breakthrough, you just need to believe in her! ”

"Hmm!"

Ying Wuji nodded solemnly, as if he felt a lot more at ease.

Zhao Ning pursed his lips and glanced out the door: "So you still confessed to Qi Xingli?" ”

"Probably on!"

Ying Wuji smiled: "Now she is still arrogant, and she won't worry too much about this matter, even if she really ...... at that time."

Zhao Ning shook his head with a smile: "No, even if you don't!" As long as you believe in her, just like your father believed in you back then. ”

"Hmm!"

"Just ......"

Zhao Ning frowned slightly: "It's just that this time Li and Chu sent troops, it will definitely attract the attention of the King of Chu, and it shouldn't be so easy to pass." ”

Ying Wuji doesn't matter: "It's okay! Before the state of Chu doesn't need me, there can be no problems. What's more, this time I can explain it with the artillery transaction, the problem is not big, even if there is a real problem, I can solve it. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Ning didn't ask much, as long as there was trust between husband and wife, it would be over.

The same is true between comrades-in-arms.

She looked at the sky outside the window: "It's dusk, you go back quickly, I'll take care of Caimei." ”

"Good!"

Ying Wuji kissed him lightly, and then took out a mirror from his arms.

After he is gone.

Zhao Ning went out, this time the Wu clan and a group of craftsmen arrived, and they still needed to be properly arranged.

But I never thought that when I went out, I saw a woman standing at the door in despair.

Zhao Ning looked sideways and asked, "Yueqing, do you have something?" ”

Jiang Yueqing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, General Ying ...... him"

Zhao Ning thought thoughtfully: "He's already gone, are you here to find him?" ”

"I ...... I'm not! ”

Jiang Yueqing's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, has the position of the concubine ever been vacant?" Now that there is no need for Jiang to exist, if it can be incorporated into Li State, it will be better for the subjects surnamed Jiang! ”

"Oh......"

Zhao Ning showed a meaningful smile, and stepped forward to hold her hand: "In this case, when we go out from the Dusk Capital, we will ask the ceremonial officer to choose an auspicious day for us!" ”

……

The Divine General's Mansion of the State of Chu.

As soon as Mi Xingli came back, she saw Ying Wuji lying on the bed, and couldn't help asking, "Huh?" Why did you come back so early? Ending the fight so soon? ”

Ying Wuji pouted: "Why are you full of battles?" ”

Mi Xingli smiled and groaned: "Of course! Now that I have a lot of artillery, of course, I have to think about fighting, so let me check if the black powder is sufficient! ”

The corners of Ying Wuji's mouth twitched: "I'll talk about it in the evening!" There's still business to do! ”

"Okay!"

Mi Xingli rubbed at him for a while, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I also have something to do, I'll go and report the artillery to my father first, and you will wait for me in vain at night." ”

Let's talk about it.

He hummed a tune and left.

Over the years, although she is still a son-in-law, almost all major events have been handled by her.

The prince tried to intervene many times, but he didn't find a chance.

The change has been completed, and it is time to enjoy the dividends, and the prince's thirst for power is gradually revealed.

In this way, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters, who were quite close before, is inevitably drifting apart.

The strange thing is that Mi Duo did not stop it, nor did he mean to straighten Mi Xingli, but only strictly forbade extremely unseemly means between the two.

This phenomenon is not very friendly.

So Mi Xingli has been increasing her weight, and if she really wants to change the law but she doesn't become the king of Chu, then the end will be miserable.

"It's all workaholics!"

Ying Wuji shook his head, then lay directly on the bed and closed his eyes.

The next moment, consciousness appeared in the Red Dust Prison......

Oh no!

It is in the Red Dust School Palace.

As soon as I came in, I heard the shouting of Hongchen.

"You guys, don't talk to each other, answer your own questions yourself!"

"Try to cheat again, Lao Tzu...... The Master will give you zero points. ”

"Then you will be guilty of old sins!"

Go down with a bang.

There was a chill in the school palace.

The mirror sealed with red dust kept wandering, and it looked quite majestic.

After seeing Ying Wuji, he didn't applaud like before, but just waved his hand at Ying Wuji quietly.

Didn't speak.

But Ying Wuji knew what he meant: Hello comrade.

Ying Wuji beckoned to him: "Master Hongchen, come here!" ”

"Hmm!"

Hongchen nodded, warned the candidates not to try to cheat, and came to Ying Wuji's side.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you!"

"Master Hongchen has worked hard during this time."

"Huh? Where is it, what should be done, what is the explanation of Master Ying this time? ”

"It's nothing, I just haven't been here for too long, and I want to ask the students about the exam."

"The results are all good!"

Hongchen's face that had been on the plate for a long time was a little frowning: "Anyway, the gang that taught me before has no failures, and the gang in Qianguo is not bad, but Bai Zheng often has nightmares and is not in a good state of study." But it didn't matter, I set up a support group and asked the best students to help him. ”

A gang of support groups are here?

The corners of Ying Wuji's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but praise: "Master Hongchen is talented!" ”

Hongchen stroked his non-existent beard: "Where is it!" ”

Ying Wuji was curious: "So who is this best student?" ”

Hongchen was amazed: "Nangong Yan! It's also strange to say, this woman is usually quite introverted, but she doesn't learn to poke the needle. ”

"Oh......"

Ying Wuji thought about it, so he moved on to other topics, chatting with Hongchen without a match.

Wait until the exam is over, and the paper is closed.

He walked in front of Nangong Yan and said with a smile: "Do you want to know the situation outside?" ”

"Huh?"

Nangong Yan raised her head and looked at Ying Wuji with some doubts: "Of course I want to, but why do I ...... for no reason?"

Ying Wuji pointed at Hongchen: "Master Gang Hongchen said that you studied very well, and you should be rewarded." ”

"I see!"

Nangong Yan looked a little surprised: "Thank you so much!" ”

Of course, she wouldn't tell Ying Wuji that Ji Dong had paid a big price to replace her original soul and mirror shadow.

Although Ying Wuji's secret technique of the trick mirror is very strong, it is not without flaws, because the trick mirror is originally just a fragment of supernatural powers, and the defects are very big, and the red dust is all mine...... Although Ji Yu has not cultivated, he knows very well.

supplemented by marriage, using the fate of the two to forcibly replace.

So a chess piece placed next to Ji Tong became a chess piece next to Ying Wuji.

It's just that it's useless.

I was in class here all day, and Ji Dong didn't want to listen to it after asking a few times.

Synchronizing information would not have been necessary.

However, Ying Wuji proposed it, and he definitely couldn't refuse.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ying Wuji opened his mouth and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Very good!"

Nangong Yan smiled a little happily, but she was a little concerned: "It's a pity that that mirror shadow will betray the prince after all." ”

Ying Wuji smiled: "The mirror itself is just a product of my supernatural powers, there is no betrayal at all, you don't have to have so much psychological pressure." But...... I want to ask you a question. ”

Nangong Yan sighed: "Just ask!" ”

Ying Wuji asked, "What do you think...... Is what Ji Yu did to you right? ”

"Nature is right!"

Nangong Yan was a little excited: "The prince has fulfilled everything for me!" ”

Ying Wuji asked again, "Do you crave such fulfillment?" ”

Nangong Yan said firmly: "Of course! ”

Ying Wuji continued to ask: "Then why do you think Li Caitan didn't fulfill himself at the end of the dusk?" ”

Nangong Yan hesitated: "This ......"

A look of struggle appeared on her face.

Because she really didn't understand why Li Caitan would make such a choice when he was able to kill Wu Dan's wife and children and wash away Wu Dan's memory.

Is it stupid?

She felt that Li Caitan was stupid.

But for some reason, I feel that there is nothing wrong with doing this.

This feeling of separation made her a little irritable.

Ying Wuji asked her again: "Do you think I am?" ”

Nangong Yan's heart jumped, and she couldn't help but feel a little wary, but her expression didn't show any clues, but she was puzzled: "What are you asking me to do here?" Or rather...... Is my answer important to you? ”

Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "Of course it's not important to me, but it's important to you, and you're ...... It is very important for Nangong Yu. ”

Nangong Yan was stunned for a while, shook her head and said, "This question ...... I don't know! ”

Ying Wuji smiled: "People always have to think about it for themselves, and I won't turn it off for you first." Sooner or later, your dear prince will be crushed by me, and the time to stay with him is running out, so enjoy it.

But you can also think about Li Caitan.

And also...... Your prince may do something that makes you not very happy, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Let's talk about it.

He waved his hand and turned to leave.

Nangong Yan looked at the place where he disappeared suspiciously, her expression a little complicated.

……

Yanwang Palace.

Ji Yu held the small leather whip and looked at Nangong Yan in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

How could she show such a complicated expression when doing such a thing?

The mood is no more.

He stopped his movements.

Put clothes on Nangong Yan.

He asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Uh......"

Nangong Yan's face was a little strange: "Ying Wuji synchronized my perception just now. ”

"Oh?"

Ji Yu was a little strange: "Why? ”

Nangong Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "Because I did well in the exam." ”

Ji Yu smiled with satisfaction: "It's good! Keep up the good performance, don't let him find the clues! ”

"Hmm!"

"Did he tell you anything else besides that?"

"No more! It's just a synchronization of perception, there is no follow-up, he is still very stingy, just for brainwashing, and there is no real reward. ”

Nangong Yan didn't know why she said no.

Ji Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Regardless of him, sooner or later he will pay the price for his arrogance." ”

Nangong Yan nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”

She wanted to ask Ji Dong why Li Caitan was finally able to break free from her own instructions.

But after thinking about it, she still didn't ask.

Instead, he asked another question: "By the way, Lord Wang, I have all withdrawn from the Black Armor Legion, and Ji Su also rushed back after hitting a wall, we ......"

Ji Yu smiled: "Let's recuperate for a while, Li Guo is very well prepared in this matter of defense, we don't need to fight with them." A year later, attack Chu! ”

This time, Li and Chu cooperated to rescue the craftsmen of the Wu State, and the Chu State was likely to take the opportunity to purchase the artillery of the Li State.

But Ji Tong is not afraid, because Li Yan has Wei Han's buffer in the middle, and the only cities that can really be attacked are those cities, and it is not difficult to be full of artillery.

Yanchu is bordered by a large area, and it is impossible to arrange artillery in every city in a year.

He and Ying Wuji should also have an end.

Saints don't oppress people with force, but the pseudo-saint of Ying Wuji is not among them.

Watching from behind, Ying Wuji should not take action in person, but use Nangong Yan to make a fuss.

When he decided to count on Nangong Yan to turn against him and win the battle, then he was not far from destruction.

As soon as Ying Wuji fell, the state of Chu would be vulnerable.

After the annexation of Chu, his own strength increased greatly, and if he attacked Qianli again, there would be no problem at all.

"That's right!"

Ji Yu suddenly asked, "Did I let you count the list of ten-year-old children out?" ”

Nangong Yan hurriedly said: "It's out!" In your study, there are a total of 390,000, with good qualifications and a total of 90,000 without congenital deficiencies. ”

"Hmmm! Got it! ”

Ji Yu put on his clothes: "I'll take a look, you will prepare 90,000 mirrors during this time." ”

Nangong Yan asked, "Are you sending them to the capital for training?" ”

Ji Yu smiled gently: "That's nature!" The Black Legion needs them. ”

Nangong Yan bit her lip: "To cultivate the Black Armor Legion, must you carve their true self?" ”

"You can't bear it?"

"Somewhat, it's not a pleasure to always feel deprived of something."

"Yan'er!"

Ji Yu was a little serious: "It's all worth it!" For the sake of prosperity, you and I can sacrifice, and so can they. And...... They don't need those things! ”

Nangong Yan took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”

Ji Dong is gone.

Nangong Yan was the only one left in the room.

She sat in her chair and felt a chill in her hands and feet.

For a moment just now, she recalled what Nangong Ling had said when she was a child.

"Yan'er! For the sake of the Nangong family, all of us can sacrifice, and so can you! ”

"You don't need this half of the body of Tude."

"It's all worth it!"

"Why aren't you enlightened at all?"

"People can't be too selfish!"

"Since you're so obsessed, let's go to prison and stay there!"

That prison was dark.

She couldn't remember what it was, because there was nothing but darkness.

The only thing that impressed me was the musty smell and the roar of my own beast.

She rubbed her arms together.

There is a stove in the house, which is brightly lit and richly furnished.

But it's not as warm as inside the Mirror Prison.
