Chapter 79: Transformation
Xu Lan finally understood at this time why he had destroyed the Qian family and had not received retaliation from Gu Baiyi.
In a sense, what he did was a favor to Gu Baiyi.
Retaliation?
Based on his current understanding of Gu Baiyi, the other party should be a real scholar.
These three words of reader,
Sometimes it is derogatory, sometimes it can also be praise, and when used on Gu Baiyi's body, it should belong to the latter.
If Grace will take revenge,
Gu Baiyi is very likely to have passed even the level in his heart.
But if he doesn't do anything,
So what do outsiders think of him?
Even his wife, who was with him, what did he think of him?
That's it
A man who is so conflicted chooses to go to a neighboring country when he knows that he is coming to Kyoto.
Missing
is the best way to solve it.
"Gu Qing will not return to Dachu in a short period of time."
Xiahou Yunxi smiled lightly: "Maybe in his opinion, after a long time, this contradiction will naturally subside." ”
"I see."
Hearing this, Xu Lan didn't show much what he thought in his heart,
No matter what Gu Baiyi thought in his heart, everyone was happy in this situation right now.
Even if the current situation is an illusion that Gu Baiyi has painstakingly created, it doesn't matter, as long as he has enough strength, he doesn't need to be afraid of all calculations.
Recently, he has been deeply touched by this.
"What are your plans after that?"
Xiahou Yunxi, who was reviewing the folds, asked softly: "With what I know about you, Kyoto can't accommodate you." ”
She didn't have a very clear understanding of Xu Lan before,
Until yesterday, I got some information about Xu Lan from the Hanging Mirror Division,
She was surprised to find that it was not for nothing that he could get Xiahou Changyuan's attention.
A scholar who has lived for eighteen years and is unremarkable,
But in just over a month, he was able to leap from an ordinary person with no cultivation to a cultivator of the Three Realms in front of him.
"I will probably stay in Kyoto for half a year or a year."
Xu Lan pondered for a moment and gave his own answer.
"Oh?"
After hearing this answer, Xiahou Yunxi was very surprised.
Putting down the fold in his hand, he slowly raised his head and stared at Xu Lan in front of him, his beautiful eyes were full of incomprehension.
"Isn't that a surprise?"
Xu Lan laughed and said, "According to the original plan, I hope that I will leave Dachu after learning about this matter, and it doesn't matter where I go." ”
"Well, quite unexpectedly."
Xiahou Yunxi said softly: "If you want to become a cultivator of the Five Realms with your talent, it is only an easy task, and staying in Dachu will not benefit you. ”
There is a formation set up by Xiahou Changyuan in the territory of Great Chu,
No one was able to gain the power to surpass the Seven Realms within the Great Chu Dynasty, and even the cultivators of the Nine Realms outside were forced to suppress their own realms to the Seven Realms after entering the Great Chu Dynasty.
Of course
Except for the example of Lin Bangying.
So in this case, if Xu Lan wants to pursue a higher realm, he must leave Da Chu.
"Do you know what was going on in my heart before I came to Kyoto?"
Looking at Xiahou Yunxi, who was a few years older than him, Xu Lan did not hide his inner thoughts,
is different from Sun Hongying, Xiahou Yunxi in front of her may be a few years older than herself, or maybe because she is in a high position.
Every time I am alone with her, my heart will be in a state of relative peace.
"I don't know."
Xiahou Yunxi shook his head,
Although she has a certain understanding of Xu Lan, and even has been married to him, she still feels that she has not seen through Xu Lan.
"Before, I didn't see the vastness of this world, and I always felt that this world seemed to be like that."
Xu Lan laughed at himself and said, "Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, I think I have this kind of thought, probably because my cultivation talent is amazing." ”
"Isn't it?"
Xiahou Yunxi was slightly stunned,
In just over a month, he has gone from an ordinary person with no foundation to a cultivator of the Three Realms, this kind of talent can be called unprecedented.
"Not really."
Xu Lan shook his head and said calmly: "In fact, if I want, I can cultivate to more than three realms. ”
This is not an exaggeration by Xu Lan,
From the beginning, if he had devoted himself to cultivation, he would not have only cultivated in the Three Realms.
Xiahou Yunxi:.
Although her cultivation of the Seven Realms was not obtained by her own cultivation, she had not experienced the hardships of cultivation.
But she also knew very well that if an ordinary cultivator wanted to break through a realm, it would take years or even more than ten years at every turn, but she couldn't do so.
And Xu Lan was
It sounded a bit exaggerated, but for some reason she felt that Xu Lan could indeed do so.
"Then why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Xiahou Yunxi paused slightly for a moment and said, "Is it because of the ancestor?"
"Hmm."
Xu Lan didn't deny it, but said lightly: "At the beginning, I thought that being a sword immortal was nothing great. It is only a matter of time before the talent reaches the so-called immortal realm. ”
"So from the beginning, I didn't plan to cultivate well at all, most of the time it was because something was about to happen that I reluctantly allowed myself to cultivate and then break through the realm, all of this was so natural for me."
Thinking back to all the things that have happened to me in the past month or so,
Xu Lan felt that it was most appropriate to use the phrase "the ignorant are fearless" to describe himself.
Because he hasn't been able to face the world properly,
I always feel that I can easily resolve all the contradictions with my own cleverness.
But in fact, if it weren't for his luck, there would have been several crises that would have cost him his life.
These include many confrontations with the Demon Sect, even including the calculation of Sun Hongying, etc.,
I have to admit that I have survived until now, and luck occupies a large component.
If it weren't for the fact that he met Xiahou Changyuan on this trip to Kyoto, I'm afraid that his thoughts would still not change.
Xiahou Yunxi was silent,
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
After all, she is not an ordinary cultivator, although the cultivation of the Seven Realms is rare, her cultivation does not belong to herself.
"I probably saw how vast the world is, and at the same time realized how small I am."
Xu Lan said seriously: "At the same time, Lin Bangying also made me understand a truth. ”
"What's the truth?"
Xiahou Yunxi asked with interest,
Lin Bangying's death was still a little touching to her, but she was destined to not be able to stay for too long because of her high position.
"The calculations of mortals who are extremely poor in their lives are not worth the thoughts of immortals after all."
Xu Lan said in a deep voice: "As a small individual, I can't change all this for the time being, but all I can do is change myself first. ”
Immortals, Star Monarchs, Star Gods, Heavenly Dao Administrators, and even Heavenly Dao that has never shown up but has always existed,
Throughout the history of the human race,
There is no trace of them, but they are everywhere.
"Maybe you're different."
Xiahou Yunxi was slightly silent for a few seconds,
remembered that the ancestor had said that he felt that Xu Lan should be the reincarnation of a certain Star Monarch, but he couldn't find out.
It's just that as the bloodline of the Great Chu royal family, she knows very well that her prison country seems to be infinitely beautiful.
But after all, it's just that Xiahou Changyuan, the ancestor, recognizes himself.
As a star lord high above,
Xiahou Changyuan can give himself everything, but it is just a matter of a finger to deprive himself of everything at the same time.
"Someday, I'll meet all of them."
Xu Lan raised his head slightly,
His gaze seemed to penetrate the roof of the Golden Luan Hall to the deep starry sky.
After learning about the war of all races and the Great Qin Dynasty from the mouth of Xiahou Changyuan,
This strong premonition sprouted in my heart.
In a few years, or even in the near future,
I will definitely meet other star monarchs, and even star gods.
"Perhaps."
Xiahou Yunxi lost his mind slightly, and after a long time, his tone carried some loneliness: "Maybe by that time, I have turned into a pile of white bones." ”
Although he has the cultivation of the Seven Realms, he is different from most of the Seven Realms cultivators.
It is impossible to obtain the longevity of a cultivator of the same realm, let alone increase one's longevity by breaking through the realm.
Fifty or sixty years is the limit of life for ordinary people, but it is also the limit of her lifespan.
"With my understanding of Xiahou Changyuan, once the bloodline born between us can solve the problem that the royal family can't cultivate."
Xu Lan smiled: "He will never let you die easily." ”
"That's not for sure."
Xiahou Yunxi's face flashed crimson, and then said, "If the ancestor can let me do this, naturally I can also let other women do this." ”
She still sees this very thoroughly,
Once Xu Lan can really solve the problem that the royal bloodline cannot be cultivated, then it will prove who is the irreplaceable existence of the Great Chu Imperial Family.
"I just promised to give birth to blood with you, but I didn't promise anyone else."
Xu Lan smiled calmly and said, "I don't think I'm a good person, but I'm not ruthless to that extent. ”
Although he and Xiahou Yunxi do not have much affection at present, once there is blood between the two, the relationship between the two will evolve into family affection.
At that time, it would be impossible for him to watch Xiahou Yunxi grow old and even die like an ordinary person.
"Is that true?"
Xiahou Yunxi's heart moved slightly,
No one is willing to watch themselves age a little bit until they die, especially for a practitioner.
"Seriously."
"Okay."
Xiahou Yunxi squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Lan in front of him, and slowly stretched out his finger and said, "You, step forward." ”
"Now?"
Xu Lan was slightly stunned, this is the Jinluan Palace!
"Yes, now."
Xiahou Yunxi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "You, you can't be afraid, right?" ”
Xu Lan:.
What words, what words are these!
Then Xu Lan walked forward to the dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace, and hugged Xiahou Yunxi, who was wearing a phoenix robe, into his arms.
"If you don't approve it, you want to be a faint king?"
Xu Lan glanced at the mountains of folds on the table and couldn't help laughing.
"I haven't tried to be a faint gentleman yet."
"Okay, then you'll be satisfied."
After a long time,
The folds on the table had long since been disrupted, and some had even fallen to the ground.
Disheveled, Xiahou Yunxi curled up on the dragon chair and stretched lazily, and Miaoman's body curves were fully revealed.
"There are so many twists and turns that have not been approved, what should I do?"
Xiahou Yunxi hugged Xu Lan's arm and said like a coquette: "You have to be responsible." ”
Maybe it's because of Xu Lan's promise, maybe it's because the relationship between the two has become much closer after some chatting,
Xiahou Yunxi's attitude towards himself is also different.
Xu Lan:.
It's a bit out of line with the setting of the Seven Realms cultivators, right?
"It's not good."
Xu Lan pondered for a moment and said, "You and I have different handwriting, and you can't let others think of you if you pass it out?" ”
"It doesn't matter, I don't care."
Xiahou Yunxi blinked,
Then he whispered a few words in Xu Lan's ear, and after finishing speaking, his whole face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
After listening, Xu Lan instantly changed his mind.
"It's not that I want to see what skills the old palace maids have taught you, it's just that I don't think you should have to care too much about other people's eyes."
Xu Lan said seriously: "It's just a twist and turn, it's not difficult." ”
"Really?"
Xiahou Yunxi casually held a book on the ground, handed it to Xu Lan and said: "Dachu Cangzhou suffered a major flood, and hundreds of people were displaced, what do you say the imperial court should do?" ”
"Naturally, the imperial court sent funds for disaster relief."
"Of course, the court has to give out the money, but how can we make this money really help the people?"
Xiahou Yunxi said lazily: "According to the past practice, the imperial court allocated hundreds of thousands of taels for disaster relief, but in the end, it was not the people who were affected by the disaster, but the local officials who were full of oil, how should this situation be handled?" ”
"Well, this one."
Xu Lan thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "First of all, you have to understand one thing, that is, no matter how much money the imperial court allocates to disaster relief at any time, in the end, there is absolutely no such number that can be used on the people." ”
"Indeed."
Xiahou Yunxi nodded and said, "Sometimes I even wonder if I can use one-tenth of it for the people, but you also know that there are some things that cannot be studied in my position. ”
"It's okay, you just have to be mentally prepared for this."
Xu Lan continued: "Since this disaster relief, the imperial court has no longer allocated any funding, but has opened a warehouse for disaster relief and set up a porridge shed to help the victims. ”
"No, either."
Hearing this, Xiahou Yunxi shook his head and said, "The hearts of some officials are darker than they imagined, and even rice cannot escape their greed for ink. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."
Xu Lan chuckled: "Just mix a considerable proportion of sand and mud into the rice for disaster relief. ”
"Why?"
Xiahou Yunxi looked very puzzled when he heard this,
"Corrupt officials will not look down on the rice mixed with the sand, but the victims will not care about the rice with sand."
Xu Lan said slowly: "This is human nature. ”
"It works."
Xiahou Yunxi thought about it carefully, but he also felt that it was a good way.
"On top of that, you can send an officer to accompany the relief supplies."
Xu Lan continued: "There is only one thing he needs to do, and that is to supervise whether the porridge cooked by local officials after setting up a porridge shed after getting the relief materials can float when inserted into the chopsticks. ”
"I see what you mean."
Xiahou Yunxi's eyes lit up slightly, this is a good method.
"If you can float up with chopsticks, then the head of the local official will also fall to the ground."
Xu Lan smiled slightly: "Although it is still impossible to be perfect in this situation, at least it can make the people suffer as little as possible." ”
"Then look at this again"
Xiahou Yunxi was immediately happy, and then picked up a book and handed it to Xu Lan.
Xu Lan:.
In order to discuss the new posture that Xiahou Yunxi has learned, no, it is new knowledge, and he thinks it is not a big problem.
Two hours later,
Xu Lan looked at the twists and turns that had been solved in front of him, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's amazing, I solved the day's twists and turns in a short period of time."
Xiahou Yunxi blinked his eyes and said, "Otherwise, in the future, you will be the emperor." ”
Xu Lan:.
One day?
So many twists and turns, just a matter of one day?
Forget it, forget it,
The position of the emperor, the dog shook his head when he saw it.
"It's done, it's time to rest."
Xu Lan quietly looked at Xiahou Yunxi in front of him, being a man, he must do what he says.
"Okay, then you hold me."
Xiahou Yunxi slowly stretched out his hands and motioned for Xu Lan to return to Tingchao Pavilion with him.
"I can't help it."
Xu Lan smiled slightly, and then picked her up and said, "Let others see it, how can you be a prisoner?" ”
"It's okay, who dares to talk nonsense?"
However, when Xu Lan returned to Tingchao Pavilion with Xiahou Yunxi in his arms, he saw Sun Hongying alone in the courtyard looking up at the starry sky.
The appearance of the two naturally attracted Sun Hongying's attention,
In an instant, the three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell silent instantly.
"Shameless."
Sun Hongying turned her head slightly, pretending to be light and light.
Xu Lan:.
It's not talking about yourself, is it?
Be reasonable. Forget it, I can't talk about it at all, after all, I do look a little shameless now.
As for Xiahou Yunxi in his arms, he snorted lightly, but hugged Xu Lan tighter.
"Huh"
Xu Lan keenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong with these two women gradually,
As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.
Then he hugged Xiahou Yunxi into her boudoir, and Sun Hongying, who was behind her, gritted her teeth and kept cursing something in her heart.
"There you go."
After entering the room, Xiahou Yunxi stroked Xu Lan's face and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you won't be able to see her tomorrow."
"This"
Xu Lan was slightly stunned,
Xiahou Yunxi's actions made him a little unaccustomed, although he also thought that his relationship with Sun Hongying could not be hidden from others.
"I'm not that stupid to think I can take everything you have alone."
Xiahou Yunxi shook his head, trying to make himself look very calm.
As a woman, she naturally doesn't want to look at her man, and there are other women in her heart, but she also knows very well that it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines.
Not to mention anything else,
Just among the royal families in her cognition, which of the princes is not a group of wives and concubines?
Although she is the eldest princess of the Great Chu Dynasty, she also knows very well that this identity does not seem to be so important in Xu Lan's eyes.
