Chapter 261: After the Fact

The princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom did not pursue, and the nine tails wrapped around Xu Qi'an and landed in front of Zhao Shou.

The nine tails unfolded and danced softly behind Xu Qi'an, and then, the nine fox tails dissipated in turn.

"Wait a minute, where's the incense?"

Xu Qi'an asked forcefully in a weak state.

With his tail stroking, a soft and seductive female voice came and sneered:

"My life is dying, and I'm still thinking about women, I'm really amorous. ”

Sure enough, it's a demon girl with a not very good personality.,Lack of training......... Xu Qi'an understood the other party's ridicule, frowned, and saw the other party's fox tails disperse one by one, and asked:

"Others treat me sincerely, and I treat others with sincerity. ”

This is the basic cultivation of a sea king.

"I've betrothed her to the males. ”

The voice of the princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom laughing and groaning came.

Xu Qi'an's eyes widened instantly!

"Kidding you. ”

The next words of the princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom calmed Xu Qi'an's anger, and she said:

"Fuxiang has returned to me, and the identity of the teacher is just an ordinary task for her, and it is also a certain part of her life's journey. ”

Xu Qi'an nodded, and replied weakly:

"Then I'm relieved. ”

Although he knew that Fuxiang was a secret son of the demon clan and that death was just an opportunity to get out, Xu Qi'an was still relieved to hear that she was okay now, and this fish would let her return to the sea for the time being.

In the future, we will find an opportunity to take back the fish pond again.

The princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom smiled and groaned before the last fox tail dissipated:

"By the way, the body of the floating incense is a corpse that I found from the pile of dead people back then, and not long after I died, the body can still be used, so I used the soul rejuvenation method to implant the soul of the floating incense into it.

"Although that body is no different from a living person, it is a corpse after all, and after a few years, it will decay and decay uncontrollably. ”

Xu Qi'an's expression suddenly froze, like a still painting.

...........

"Dalang, Dalang......."

Second Uncle Xu was waiting anxiously, and when he saw that the fox tail was gone, he couldn't wait to pounce on him to check on his nephew's injury.

Xu Pingzhi's old face was full of sadness, anger, worry and fear, he only held his nephew's hand, afraid that as soon as he let go, his nephew would be gone.

"Why hasn't the wound healed yet, isn't Sanpin known as an immortal body?"

Second Uncle Xu looked at it for a while, anxious.

Because his nephew's injuries did not improve, the two jade wounds were still there, and nine demon sealing nails pierced into his flesh, and the wounds in his abdomen kept bleeding thick, scarlet blood.

Coupled with the bleeding of the seven orifices, his appearance was terrifying, and he looked like he would die of his injuries at any moment.

"He's on the verge of his limits and needs urgent treatment. ”

Zhao Shou sighed, endured the pain of his headache, and announced in a deep voice: "Stop the bleeding." ”

Those hideous and terrible wounds slowly stopped oozing blood, but they still didn't heal.

In Zhao Shou's view, Xu Qi'an did not die at this time, which is the embodiment of the strong vitality of martial arts.

He consumed a lot in the death fight with Joan of Arc, and his injuries were not light, especially the two jade wounds, which killed a thousand enemies and injured eight hundred, which was very terrible.

Then he was embedded with the Demon Sealing Nail, which locked the qi and qi and blood, leaving him with the cultivation of a three-rank martial artist, but it was difficult to exert any of it.

In the end, he used the curse killing technique recorded by Confucianism to make the white-clothed warlock Xu Pingfeng suffer a backlash of luck at the cost of self-harm.

The backlash of killing the people of the atmosphere.

It belongs to killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 self-losses.

The heavy injuries are superimposed, and he can still save his life, isn't it the body of the martial artist's strong vitality.

"Let's go back to the capital first, the only one who can save him right now is the prison guard. ”

Zhao Shou looked at the battle in the distance, and with his three-rank cultivation, he couldn't get a glimpse of the battle between the first-rank Bodhisattva and the first-rank Mandate of Heaven, because it was shrouded in layers of formations.

The prison is cutting off the back path of the female Bodhisattva, and he wants to kill the Bodhisattva.

Xu Pingzhi picked up his nephew and bowed his head with a depressed expression.

He had already remembered everything, remembered the big brother who was in the limelight and a genius back then.

reminded me of the scene where the Xu family once soared.

It's just that everything is in the past, there are high-ranking officials in the capital who are extremely rich and have fallen and raided their homes every year, and in the case of shielding the sky, no one will remember the glorious Xu family twenty years ago.

............

Late at night, the Imperial Study.

The candlelight is brilliant and bright as day.

The crown prince sat behind the big case belonging to the emperor, and his mood was mixed, with emotion, embarrassment, excitement, excitement, and apprehension.......... Just like ordinary people facing the only once in their lives to marry.

The crown prince knows that whether he can successfully ascend the throne depends on tonight.

At this time, the princes were still waiting in the side hall, drinking hot tea, eating pastries, and waiting for the discussion.

The emperor was beheaded, the dragons were leaderless, and the prince naturally stood up to preside over the overall situation, which is a matter of course and the meaning of the prince's existence.

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day, nor shall it be without a prince for a day.

The role of the prince is highlighted at this time, if Dafeng does not have a prince, at this time, it is estimated that it will be chaotic.

After the pacification of the day, all strata of the capital were generally calm, and the most ferocious was the ordinary people of Pingtou, who gathered at the gate of the imperial city and various yamen, clamoring to see Xu Yinluo.

The people in the market suspected that Xu Yinluo was secretly arrested and even killed by the imperial court.

Wang Shoufu asked the prince to mobilize the forbidden army into the town to suppress it, and at the same time ordered the Beijing officials to come forward to pacify, and only by taking a two-pronged approach did he stop the possible riot.

"Your Highness, Lord Shousuke is here. ”

The old eunuch stepped over the threshold, stood below, and whispered.

Wang Shoufu wore a scarlet robe and an official hat, and stepped into the imperial study with steady steps.

Compared with the panic of the ministers, Wang Shoufu's face was calm, his spirit was excellent, and the whole person seemed to be reborn and swept away.

"Your Highness!"

Wang Shoufu made a move.

"Shousuke-sama, what should I do at this moment?"

The crown prince looked down at Wang Shoufu.

He knew that Wang Shoufu would be an important help for him to ascend the throne, and it was also a figure he could rely on in the future.

And this is not difficult, because in the royal party, there are many princeling members.

Wang Shoufu himself did not stand in line, that was because he was pressed by his father before, and Shoufu naturally couldn't stand in line.

But in fact, Wang Shoufu himself is a princeling, at least he is biased towards himself, otherwise he would not sit idly by and watch the members of the Wang Party secretly defect to him.

Wang Shoufu said: "Your Highness has to do three things: First, stabilize the hearts of the people. Second, stabilize the morale of the army. Third, stabilize the court. ”

The crown prince leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Lord Shoufu, how do you think you should stabilize these three?"

Wang Shoufu seems to have already finished the draft, methodically, and said slowly:

"Your Royal Highness, Xu Qi'an beheaded the first emperor outside the capital, everyone knows it, this matter cannot be concealed, and forcibly covering it up will only make the people's anger boil, and they will no longer trust the court. ”

Now, everyone in the capital remembered Xu Qi'an again, and remembered that he was the master who killed the emperor.

The prince sighed, it was the same as he thought.

Wang Zhenwen continued:

"Inform the public of what the first emperor did, announce it to the world, cut off the grain and grass of the army, and harm the virtuous ministers, so that 80,000 soldiers died at the hands of the witch god cult. Subsequently, in the name of the Son of Man, the prince reprimanded the first emperor, and did not allow the first emperor's card to be placed in the Taimiao, and the bones were not allowed to enter the emperor's tomb.

Subsequently, Xu Qi'an was rewarded, the official was reinstated, knighted, and announced to the world. In this way, the will of the people and the army can be determined. The actions of the first emperor will certainly make the court and the royal family lose face and reduce their prestige, but the behavior of the crown prince will make the people of the world and people of insight applaud, and they will look forward to the dynasty creating a new atmosphere in the hands of the new monarch. ”

The first emperor Wang Zhenwen refers to is Emperor Yuanjing.

"This is not possible!"

The prince was shocked, and said in his heart that you want me to be not a son of man.

No matter how perverse the first emperor is, father and son will always be father and son, others can scold the first emperor, but his son can't do this.

Even if it is reasonable, it will be infamous as an unworthy son of man.

This infamy may not appear in the short term, but it will certainly be recorded in the history books.

In all dynasties, even if the son forced the palace to usurp the throne, he had to provide Lao Tzu well and be imprisoned in the palace.

Whipping Lao Tzu's corpse, throughout the ages and present, there is not a single case, because it is too taboo, and smart people will not do it.

"The crown prince wants to quickly accumulate prestige, win the love of the people, and give the people confidence in the new dynasty, which is the price that must be paid. With a Ming monarch like His Royal Highness ascending the throne, and Xu Qi'an being knighted and sitting in the court, the overall situation can be determined. ”

"No. The prince still shook his head.

Wang Shoufu nodded and said the second plan:

"Then he pretended that His Majesty was controlled by the Witch God Sect with witchcraft, so he did these perverse things, and Xu Yingong took action to stop the conspiracy of the Witch God Sect.

"The battle between Dafeng and the Wushen Sect has just ended, and the people are angry because 80,000 soldiers died in the northeast, and no one will suspect it, so it is just a good opportunity to divert the contradiction and transfer the anger of the people to the Wushen Sect.

But Xu Qi'an's deeds should still be praised, which is conducive to saving the image of the court. Today, the people gather everywhere in the yamen and the imperial city gate, which is just the right proof. ”

The prince was silent for a long time and did not refute.

Seeing this, Wang Shoufu continued:

"In the end, it is to stabilize the court, what the princes are worried about is nothing more than the words of a son of heaven and a courtier, and His Royal Highness will be wooed. ”

"How to woo in?"

The prince asked.

Co-optation is not a verbal promise, but must give actual benefits, therefore, to win over one group of people, it is necessary to suppress another group of people.

The prince is actually asking: who to suppress?

Wang Shoufu said lightly:

"Yuan Xiong, the right capital of the Imperial History Observatory, and Qin Yuandao, the squire of the military department, colluded with the Witch God Sect to control His Majesty, and attempted to subvert Dafeng, which is an unforgivable crime. When the Nine Clans are punished. The rest of the party will all raid their homes.

"But when the prince first ascended to the throne, he needed amnesty to the world, Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao beheaded the public, confiscated the family property, and the female dependents of the family were charged to the Jiaofang Division, and the clansmen could be exempted.

"Depending on the severity of the case, a group of fellow party members will be punished with a raid, dismissal, and beheading, and their families may be exempted from joint sitting. ”

The time of disposal, the way of disposal, are given.

The prince thought for a long time and nodded slowly: "Good!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the old eunuch: "Inform the princes and enter the palace to discuss matters." ”

............

Yunlu Academy.

Xu Pingzhi returned to the courtyard with a tired face.

Because of his sudden departure, his aunt and daughters returned to the academy to wait for him.

"Old, old man........"

The beautiful and plump aunt greeted her, her face was a little ugly, and she said in a low voice:

"I, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things. ”

For example, the reason why my aunt's father, that old Xiucai, married her to Xu Pingzhi was not because she was simple-hearted and not good at house fighting.

It's because the Xu family was a wealthy and wealthy family back then, and Xu Pingzhi's brother was in a high position and held authority.

Lao Xiucai relied on his daughter to be as beautiful as a fairy, not like a mundane thing in the world, so he married his daughter to Xu Jiaerlang, that is, Xu Pingzhi.

But these things, my aunt found that she had forgotten all these years.......

In addition, Xu Pingzhi's eldest brother, where is the veteran of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, obviously one of the princes of the court, a big man with great authority.

Second Uncle Xu glanced at his wife, tired in his bones, and said softly:

"Forget it, forget it, forget better, some things, it only hurts when you think about it, and some people only hurt when you think about it. ”

The aunt opened her mouth, her beautiful and delicate face was dazed, and she stopped talking.

Xu Lingyue ran out of the house, and the twenty-eight boy stood on his tiptoes, kept looking back, and said eagerly:

"What about my eldest brother, where is my eldest brother........"

"He's in Si Tianjian and he's doing well now. ”

Xu Pingzhi comforted his daughter, and then said: "I think, we probably don't need to leave Beijing." ”

...........

Stargazing Building, in the bedroom.

Chu Yuan, Lina, Li Miaozhen, Master Hengyuan, the four of them sat around the square table, silently drinking tea.

They already knew what happened to Xu Qi'an later, knew about Xu Pingfeng's existence, and the fact that he used his son as a container and now planned to kill his son for luck.

Xu Qi'an told them what happened.

Coming to this point, there is actually no need to hide it, Emperor Joan of Arc has been killed, the father and son have a showdown, and everything has surfaced.

It's a showdown, and I'm the son of luck.

Of course, Xu Qi'an will not hype up this matter, but it is no problem to tell his closest partners at all.

"It's unbelievable, it turns out that his background is so bizarre and so apprehensive. Chu Yuanzhen muttered.

"Amitabha. ”

Master Hengyuan's bitter and hateful expression: "Father kills son, tragedy in the world, Lord Xu's life experience is embarrassing." ”

Li Miaozhen's face was gloomy, holding the teacup, and he didn't say a word.

She was both sympathetic and pitying, mixed with a flood of rage.

"Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, this Xu Pingfeng, the old lady will stab him to death sooner or later!"

The youth of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect is back.

"We have a tribe in southern Xinjiang that is like this, and when the son becomes an adult, if he thinks he is strong enough, he can challenge his father. If you win, you will inherit everything from your father, including your biological mother. If you lose, you have to die.

And if the father feels that his son is a great threat to him, he can also challenge him and kill his son in a dignified manner to protect his status and interests. ”

Lina said.

It was a tribe of fathers and sons.

Chu Yuanzhen and the three of them didn't pay attention to her, and many tribes in southern Xinjiang were in the ignorance of drinking blood, and they had all kinds of strange customs.

But here is Dafeng, and there is a code of ethics.

Xu Qi'an's life experience made them sympathetic and sympathetic, and they felt the same hatred for the enemy.

Ignore me........ Lina puffed out her cheeks, a little unhappy, and was about to speak, when she suddenly covered her stomach and wrinkled her brows together:

"Yes, it hurts, it hurts........

"Seven, Seven Absolute Gu ........."

............

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

On the gossip platform of the stargazing building, there were bursts of coughing.

The cold wind was howling, Xu Qi'an was wrapped in a blanket and sat on the side of the desk, holding a bowl of medicinal soup in his hand.

Zhong Li squatted in front of the small stove and boiled medicine for him, and Chu Caiwei concentrated on stitching up his wound and applying pain-relieving ointment.

Song Qing heard that his best friend was seriously injured and dying, and he also said that he wanted to help.

You don't have to........ Xu Qi'an drove him away.

After taking the pill of the prison, drinking a few bowls of medicinal soup, and then Chu Caiwei forcibly suturing up those wounds that could not heal, Xu Qi'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he was sick, his injuries were indeed improving.

If it were to be replaced by him during the Yuyang Pass period, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold on to the return of the prison at all, and he would have already left the West.

However, the Demon Sealing Nail was still in his body and had not been pulled out.

If the nail is not pulled out, his cultivation will be sealed along with the gods.

"The female Bodhisattva named "Liuli" is dead?"

Xu Qi'an looked at the white clothes that hit the back of his head.

Jian Zheng shook his head slightly: "How can it be so simple to kill a product, it just hit her hard, at least for two years, she can't get out of the Western Regions." ”

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and said with a smile: "This bodhisattva seems to be weaker than Sarun Agu. ”

He smelled the faint virgin fragrance on Chu Caiwei's body, as well as the strong smell of meat buns.

Hungry.......

"Those who can make a product will not be weak, and each has its own strengths. The battle between a product depends on the right time, place and people. In the territory of Dafeng, the only thing that can beat me is super products. However, Dafeng's national strength has weakened so far, and two of them can stop me. ”

Jian Zheng paused and continued: "It's just that I don't want to harm the people of the capital because I entangle with Sarun Agu. Besides, you and your father have a business, and it's inconvenient for me to interfere. ”

Inconvenience?

Why does your apprentice want to backstab you, and it's inconvenient for you?

Without waiting for Xu Qi'an to ask, the supervisor gave an explanation:

"The Mandate of Heaven cannot reveal the secret of heaven, it can only be tactfully and secretly arranged, and success or failure is determined. ”

Jianzheng means that he used the means of the Mandate of Heaven to gain insight into Xu Pingfeng's plan, which is equivalent to an insight into the Heavenly Machine, so he cannot forcibly intervene or leak the Heavenly Machine......... And his action to repel the female Bodhisattva has nothing to do with leaking the heavenly secrets, it is purely to defeat foreign enemies.......... Xu Qi'an showed a sudden expression.

He immediately asked, "Did you know that the female Bodhisattva would come?"

The prison was holding up the wine glass on the case, drank it all, and exhaled with satisfaction:

"The glazed Bodhisattva has two major Bodhisattva fruits, the five-color glazed law phase and the walker law phase, the latter can travel to the Western Regions Dujing Mountain. ”

So, Xu Qi'an didn't understand the meaning of prison.

The supervisor smiled and said, "Next, I want to tell you two things, which are very important. ”

Xu Qi'an sat upright, listening with a serious face.
