Chapter 70: Snow Falls and Coughs Up Blood
Recently, everyone has spent this time in peace, and the immortal cultivators are all keeping to themselves, and no one dares to cause trouble here.
And the Qin State also shrank most of its sphere of influence, and the six countries outside the border were ready to move, especially the opposite Chu State, which directly transferred the troops to the foreign side.
The reason for this is even more ridiculous, they are afraid that when the time comes, the king of Qin will die of illness, there will be turmoil in the Qin state, and the people of Li will be in dire straits, and the people of Li will be in need of rescue, and the state of Chu can arrive as soon as possible, so they did so.
The wolf's ambition is undisguised.
It's been much quieter since the beginning of winter, and winter is also the season of disease outbreaks.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
This sentence responded to the scene in front of him, and Chu Tian didn't know how many dead people he saw along the way.
The body is not clothed, and the food is not hungry.
The slum has been rebuilt, Chu Tian looked at the people who were so numb, and shook his head helplessly, during this time he bought a lot of food and distributed it to this group of homeless people, in the name of the prince.
Chu Tian didn't care about fame, but the prince paid attention to it very much.
Throughout this process, the prince's fame grew, at least among the people, and began to appeal to the highest level.
At present, many people in the entire Qin Wangcheng support the crown prince to become the emperor, and in the eyes of others, he is a generation of Ming monarchs.
Chu Tian saw that some people were not dressed in tatters, and it seemed that the family was a wealthy family, but people rubbed food here, and couldn't help but say angrily:
"This is not the way, the really poor people will not have enough to eat, and if this continues, I am afraid that there will be more deaths this winter. ”
This consideration is not unreasonable, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are more than 1,000 displaced people in this area where Chu Tian is located, not to mention the people on the periphery, all of whom are lives.
Chu Tian is not the Holy Mother, but there are so many people who are starving to death here, and he also needs to do his part to help as much as possible.
At that time, he thought of asking for help from Qingyun Mountain, but the concept of those immortal cultivators was completely different from Chu Tian, to them, those ordinary people were like weeds.
As long as all their roots are not removed, at most a batch will grow in a retreat time.
The suffering of the mortal world is difficult for people in the world of cultivating immortals to reflect.
"You guys go find some sand. ”
Chu Tian thought that there was a corrupt official who threw sand in the grain, and those who could eat enough could not eat the grain at all.
But for those homeless people, this is their only chance to survive, not to mention throwing sand, you just throw two pieces of carrion into it, and they dare to swallow it in their stomachs.
Chu Tian thought of the reputation of the corrupt official, and Chu Tian smiled helplessly:
"I'm afraid that if I do this, my reputation will not be good, and I will be hated by people next. ”
This pot can only be resisted by itself.
He didn't care about these little things, sooner or later, the immortal cultivator would break away from the mortal world.
In front of everyone, Chu Tian threw all the buckets of sand into the grain, only to hear him say indifferently:
"I think you've all seen it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that it's not easy for you to live, but there is so much food, I can only throw sand into it and eat mixed to be full. ”
When this sentence was said, everyone talked about it for a while, especially those who were wearing ordinary clothes below, who were even more annoyed, and some people looked at Chu Tian angrily and said:
"It's because of you corrupt officials that so many people starve to death!"
Chu Tian looked at the man shouting here, and couldn't help but show a sneer, directly grabbed the adult's neck, and said coldly and ruthlessly:
"Eat, go, or die!"
For those who provoke trouble, Chu Tian never shows mercy to his subordinates, and only by cutting through the mess with a quick knife can these things be dealt with.
That person was just an ordinary person, who was caught in Chu Tian's hands, staring at the cold and ruthless eyes, and couldn't help but feel timid in his heart, especially the terrifying murderous aura.
It's simply not something that an ordinary person can afford.
Seeing that man's unbearable appearance, Chu Tian didn't bother to bother with him, threw him on the ground, and said silently:
"Next time someone like this pops up, don't blame my men for being ruthless. ”
Even if it was a reminder to those people present, even if Chu Tian was merciful and sent them food, don't forget that he himself was a sword cultivator who had killed hundreds of demon clans.
Obviously, because of Chu Tian's strong attitude, those people were quiet for the time being, and some people who originally wanted to fish in troubled waters lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them.
The wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, it doesn't matter what kind of reputation falls on you, you can solve the trouble in front of you, and nodded slightly:
"Very well, and then distribute food. ”
This matter came to an end Under the watchful eyes of many officers and soldiers, food was also distributed, and it was obvious that there were no more those who fished in troubled waters.
No one wants to put sand in their mouths, but it doesn't matter to those who are truly homeless.
They still ate very deliciously, and even many people were grateful to Dade and looked at Chutian.
Chu Tian is one of the few people who has released food, even if it is mixed with some sand, he can let him live, and he is also a great good person.
Not far away, there was an old man and several young people, and the old man among them couldn't help but smile when he looked at what Chu Tian had done:
"It's hard to believe that a young man has come up with a method that people know a lot about the world, and that food can save lives for those who really need it. ”
"Don't just look at appearances, sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily real. ”
Brought a few disciples and grandchildren out, and gave them a lot of insight along the way, all of which were blamed for staying in the sect for too long, and they didn't understand the world's feelings.
One of them was quite unconvinced, and looked at Chu Tian who was distributing food there with a displeased face, and wanted to argue:
"I think it's all greedy for him. ”
"We are immortal cultivators, what do we do with those grains. ”
The old man reprimanded everyone, and there is a way to solve it if he is narrow-minded, but it can lead to bad light and can only bring disaster to the sect.
Pointing in the direction where Chu Tian was, he only heard the old man explain:
"A monk who builds the foundation realm, the prince behind him, do you think he will ruin his reputation for these grains? ”
Let this group of young people take a good look, immortal cultivators can not pay attention to human feelings, but the most basic thing is to distinguish clearly, so as not to be used by others at that time.
As far as the current situation is concerned, in the eyes of some immortal cultivators, Chu Tian has been beaten into a traitor.
It was a kind of surface, for some people with intentions, especially some politicians, what Chu Tian did solved a big trouble for them, and he was the most ideal subordinate in the hearts of all those in power.
However, there was one thing that the old man didn't understand why Chu Tian was in Qin Wang City to deal with these troublesome things.
It is no longer a secret to learn from the Xuantian Dao Master, and logically speaking, it should not be wading into this troubled water.
Chu Tian didn't notice that someone in the back was looking at him, and the homeless people in front were grateful to Dade, he didn't care about these things, but he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
When the food was distributed, a group of refugees had a full meal and some shabby cotton jackets, which were the only things they could survive the winter at night.
"I've done my best. ”
Chu Tian's words were helpless, when manpower was limited, maybe some of these homeless people would die inexplicably the next day, but they would finally let them have a full meal.
At the same time, in the palace of King Qin, King Qin was correcting the documents and lighting a fire in front of him.
Persuade King Qin to focus on recuperation during this time, but now there is no time to rest, so many immortal cultivators gathered in King Qin City.
King Qin personally corrected, he always felt restless, looking at the words in his hand, he had a splitting headache, Gonggong Chen, who was next to him, saw that King Qin's face was wrong, and hurriedly prepared the pill and said:
"Your Majesty will take one first. ”
Both of them knew that there was something refractory to this thing, a pill was equivalent to a human life, and King Qin was exchanging other people's lives for himself.
And there are only two left in the porcelain vase, the Gu God Sect and the Qin State are in a kind of disconnection, and no one dares to contact the two during this time, for fear of being caught by those who have a heart, so as to make trouble.
The two pills couldn't last for a month at all, and King Qin seemed to feel that his limit had arrived, and asked Gonggong Chen beside him:
"Gonggong Chen has served two generations of previous kings, and in my generation, I should have been begging for bones, but I was too selfish. ”
This is the king of Qin is revealing the heartfelt words, the king of Qin is also sixty years old, the ridiculous thing is that he can't live as an ordinary mortal, this is many years of dealing with documents, every morning in the morning, and he has become ill from hard work.
Gonggong Chen did not drag on because of his age, looked at the emotional King Qin, and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the minister is a crippled body, and he should have done his best to get the last bit of light and heat. ”
The two are actually masters and servants, but unfortunately I was brought up by Gonggong Chen since I was a child, and King Qin was the eldest son when he was born, so he should inherit the unification, plus at the beginning, a bloodbath in the Qin State.
The royal family is even more dead, which is completely opposite to the situation of the three princes competing in front of them, and only the crown prince was eligible to inherit the throne at that time.
Coupled with the wrist of the previous Qin king, a large number of rebels were slaughtered.
King Qin is not too much to call Grandpa Chen.
In addition, Gonggong Chen has served the Great Qin royal family for hundreds of years, and the realm of transforming gods can be reborn with a broken arm, and he still serves the emperor in this posture, which also fulfills the original heart.
King Qin suddenly felt angina in his heart, grabbed his heart with his right hand, and coughed violently twice:
"Ahem. ”
Seeing a touch of red reflected in his hand, King Qin's face couldn't help but change, Chen Gongzi on his side took out a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains, the two looked at each other, King Qin knew that his limit was approaching.
Even if you have to hang your life, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive this winter.
It took a long time for King Qin's face to improve, and he took a few breaths, this time he seemed to be ten years old, and his spirit and spirit would be lost a lot when he was old, and when he thought of some things, he instructed Gonggong Chen next to him:
"Prince Xuan. ”
The second and third children, there is a great holy land behind them, and the whole country must not be handed over to them, otherwise the big country will become a puppet, and the king of Qin will be ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors.
The crown prince is the best candidate again.
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
As for the two princes, they will never be able to let them get the throne, although the Beishan party is a big trouble for the Qin State, don't forget that the prince also came out of the Beishan party, at least the future road is much easier.
After Gonggong Chen left, King Qin sat down in his position and coughed violently, and this time no one wiped the blood for him.
No one can know about coughing up blood except for Gonggong Chen, so as not to be heard by some people with ulterior motives, and then the Qin State will be even more chaotic.
The East Palace Prince's Mansion is lit all night, and the soldiers patrol here, all of whom are foundation building monks.
Today is destined to be difficult to be calm, the prince was pleasantly surprised after getting the news, he can assist on the side, and King Qin corrects the documents, which is a great gift.
And now it can be said that it is even more advantageous to compete for the throne, and it has been determined in my heart that the two imperial brothers have no chance.
The prince received the decree with both hands, and his joy could not be calmed down, so he knelt down and stood up, and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Father. ”
By the next morning, the news had already spread in the court, and it could be described as turmoil in the government and the opposition, and the crown prince was very likely to inherit the unification, so even the neutrals could not remain calm.
The two princes stood on one side, anxious, watching the crown prince walk to the side of the throne, they were trying to get the position, but unfortunately they still let the prince take the lead.
"Damn it!"
The second prince roared in his heart, but when he saw King Qin's eyes, he could only lower his head and dare not express his objection.
The third prince's eyes were gloomy and uncertain, and he looked at the crown prince who walked to King Qin's side, and sighed imperceptibly.
The two of them have their own thoughts, but now, the prince is still a step ahead, and the two of them can only quit helplessly.
As long as King Qin does not die, the crown prince will not be able to succeed to the throne, and these two princes will also have a chance, and it is a big deal to join forces with those immortal cultivators.
Chu Tian got the news today, and he was not surprised by King Qin's decision, and he was also collecting the movements of the two princes during this time.
To be able to exist for decades is by no means a fool.
The ambitions of the wolves in other holy lands, there are Chu States outside, as long as the Qin State shows a little weakness, I am afraid that they will attack it in groups.
asked the prince to participate in the court politics, just to give him a chance to exercise when the king of Qin was alive, so as not to die one day and be unable to control it by virtue of the prince alone.
Chu Tian wore a thin cotton jacket in the pavilion, and there was a bamboo sword in his hand, and the sword qi was seven feet long, and the snow was falling, leaving him independent.
The snow fell, Chu Tian looked at the mud in the courtyard full of sword marks, and said with a smile:
"Something interesting. ”
Chu Tian's swordsmanship became more and more profound, but he was not in a hurry to break through, and after feeling the barrier, he pressed it directly, he wanted to learn more swordsmanship in this realm and lay a solid foundation.
followed by Song Zilan, the two have been together for a few months and are considered friends, of course, they have been beaten by her during this time.
Song Ziran's runes are extremely weird, making people unguardable.
Especially the formation formed, once Chu Tian stepped in, he could only be a passive defense, and for a sword cultivator, there was simply no way to play.
Looking at the traces of sword qi in the courtyard, Song Zilan did not feel any discomfort, shook her head slightly, and said worriedly:
"The prince is in the court, I'm afraid the results are coming out, I advise you to hide, don't be found to settle down when the time comes. ”
This sentence is a kind reminder that it is not a good thing for the prince to come to the court, and at this juncture, some people speculate that King Qin's body is also getting weaker and weaker.
If there are masters looking at the periphery, they can find that the luck black dragon of the Qin State is becoming a weakening trend.
Recently, there have been a lot of small movements in the major holy places, and most of them come and go to the mansions of the second prince and the third prince.
Chu Tian saw this matter very clearly, and there was no dead end for him, so he said with a slight smile:
"No matter how bad the result is, what can it become, it's a big deal that the prince is deposed, and I go directly to Qingyun Mountain to seek refuge. ”
Casual and free, this is the result of Chu Tian's cultivation during this time, the killing aura on his body has dissipated with time, and even this sword qi has become more and more neutral and peaceful.
Looking at Chu Tian who didn't care, Song Zilan smiled, since he wasn't worried about himself, why bothered about this:
"At that time, Qingyun Mountain will not avenge you, but it is okay to keep you safe. ”
Anyway, the master is still here, a great power in the god transformation stage, as long as he doesn't do things that anger and resentment, he can definitely save his life unharmed.
"If you really fail, you can come to Qingyun Mountain to sit, I'm sure you'll like it there. ”
After Song Zilan said this, she got up directly, Qingyun Mountain is indeed a good place, and it is a holy place that many immortal cultivators yearn for, but it is also full of deceit, but their generation is strong.
That's why I didn't get bullied by others.
"Thank you. ”
Seeing Song Zilan leave, Chu Tian also put the long sword in the scabbard, looking at the green bamboo and white snow in front of him, looking like a swordsman.
Chu Tian knew that he was not qualified to be a chess player, and the Qin Dynasty had become a place where those great holy lands were playing, and the only thing he had to do was to become a useful chess piece.
At the same time, in the mansion of the second prince, Yulin Zhenren and the two were also plotting some things.
Yulin Zhenren and the second prince were playing a game of chess, but neither of them had any thoughts on this, they only heard Yulin Zhenren say:
"Second prince, you have to prepare in advance, today I saw that King Qin's face was not right, I'm afraid time is short, if it really doesn't spread to you, then you can only use the means of forcing the palace. ”
"Smack!" the sunspot fell to the ground, and the second prince was so shocked by these two words that he dropped the sunspot to the ground, and said in astonishment:
"Forcing the palace. ”
This should be the worst method, the name is not justified, even if you succeed in sitting on the throne, I am afraid that there will be a long period of turbulence in the future, a little contemplation, his eyes showed a fierce light, and said hideously:
"The throne! Those who want to achieve great things are not informal, and history is always written by the victors. ”
Since ancient times, there have been no relatives, except for growing up and playing with many princes in childhood, but since adulthood, they are enriching their wings, and the open and secret battles are endless.
Forcing the palace is the last method that comes to mind, and the second prince does not want to win the throne in this way, and there is still a glimmer of hope, sighing:
"I just hope that my father will give us a chance, I don't want to end up turning against each other. ”
