Chapter 552

Shirohime quickly rolled over and ran to Mu Nanzi's feet with its short legs. It raised its head and looked at her eagerly.

Mu Nanzi bent over and held it in her arms. Shirohime turned to look at Xu Qi 'an and said in a sweet voice:

"Is Her Highness gone? Did you make the deal? "

"She was very satisfied with the deal and praised your wit." Xu Qi 'an said.

Shirohime immediately beamed with joy, like a child who was awarded a little red flower in kindergarten. It was proud and proud, but it tried to suppress it.

Xu Qi 'an said patiently, "So, you have to listen to me in the future, understand? I don't have any bad intentions. It's all for the sake of the Fox Clan. "

Shirohime nodded.

It felt closer to Xu Qi 'an.

"Did Her Highness say anything else?" It looked at Xu Qi 'an with its black eyes, trying to get a reply from Her Highness.

Mu Nanzhi curled her lips, snorted and said,

"Your Highness wants to give you to him as a child bride."

"What is a child bride?" Shirohime didn't understand.

"When you are still young, he will be responsible for raising you. When you grow up, you will work like a horse for him and sleep with him. Hmm, you will sleep with him and give birth to his fox cubs."

Mu Nanzi explained the meaning of "child bride" in detail.

Shirohime immediately understood such a simple explanation. It looked back and forth at Xu Qi 'an and seemed a little unhappy.

'Damn, I am being despised …' Xu Qi 'an pretended not to notice the fox cub's expression.

'Cub really can't understand my charm.'

While talking, Li Lingsu returned first and landed in the yard on his flying sword.

"How is it?"

Xu Qi 'an asked.

"It's really serious. It was just a cold. If he had taken medicine earlier, he would have recovered quickly. But the old man chose to worship the temple god … "

Li Lingsu shook his head:

"His wife has been drinking talisman water for several days and her condition is getting worse. She can only live for two days at most. Fortunately, although her body is weak, her internal organs are not exhausted. I gave her a cold expelling pill and a Qi-replenishing pill to suppress the disease.

"She will recover in less than ten days after taking good care of herself and taking supplements."

Xu Qi 'an had given them an ingot of official silver, so there was no need to worry about the couple's livelihood.

Li Lingsu continued:

"Just now when I walked around the county town, I heard something. The county magistrate of Shengyi County, in the name of giving porridge, lured poor people and then killed them. He used their heads to pretend to be refugees and claimed credit from the imperial court. He also used the refugees as an excuse to ask for disaster relief money and food.

"Therefore, beggars are rarely seen in Shengyi County, and the people in the villages outside the city who can't make a living don't dare to enter the city."

Refugees were unregistered residents. They might have committed crimes or evaded taxes, so they left their homes and wandered around.

Because they have no land to farm, they usually choose to do bad things, such as theft or human trafficking.

There are also those who choose to do hard labor.

In times of peace, refugees are a small part of the population and nothing to worry about.

Once there is a famine, the people will become refugees because they can't survive. Now the refugees in Daibun are wreaking havoc. It's okay in rich areas, but in poor areas, the refugees are terrible.

This is also the reason why the Yongxing Emperor was forced to promote the donation. The situation is really terrible.

It's not easy for the father to say goodbye and the son to smile, but they encountered the "cold disaster" that happens once in a hundred years, plus the mess left by the late emperor …

Xu Qi 'an's face darkened. "Got it."

He glanced at the Son of Saint and said lightly, "You are indirectly mocking me. Saving one person is like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water. In fact, it can't change anything."

Of course, Li Lingsu didn't admit it. He said with a smile, "It's a reminder, a reminder …"

After a pause, the Son of Saint sighed. "The situation in Daibun is already very bad, and it will worsen day by day. If we don't improve in time and let the disaster continue, it's only a matter of time before there are uprisings everywhere."

In history, this phenomenon is called a peasant uprising … Xu Qi 'an thought more deeply. If the disaster can't be effectively alleviated, when Xu Pingfeng raises his arm and calls for help, many forces in Jianghu will respond.

They will think that overthrowing the decadent court is the only way out, just like the rise of heroes at the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, Miao Youfang walked in from outside the courtyard with a bamboo basket in his hand. The three people and one fox with a keen sense of smell had already smelled the pungent smell of blood.

Clang!

Miao Youfang walked through the courtyard and put the basket in front of everyone. He smiled with his hands on his waist.

"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you!"

Xu Qi 'an looked out and saw that the basket was full of human heads. All of their eyes were wide open, and fear was frozen on their faces.

"Seven?"

He frowned. There were only four thugs in the courtyard at that time.

Miao Youfang made an 'oh' sound and said, "I killed the Magistrate, the Magistrate, and the Magistrate."

The temple fell silent. Li Lingsu's mouth was wide open. "Why did you kill the Magistrate and the Magistrate?"

"You don't understand."

Miao Youfang had an expression of "I'm an experienced man". He crossed his arms in front of his chest and said,

"This mother and son dared to bully the people and rape innocent people, but the government didn't do anything. This means that they must have a backer behind them. After interrogating these thugs, it turned out that they were in cahoots with the Magistrate and the Magistrate.

"I asked around and found out that the Lieutenant was also a black-hearted person who did all kinds of bad things. So I broke into the government office and killed them all."

"So efficient …" Li Lingsu and Xu Qi 'an looked at each other, speechless.

The latter pinched his brows and said, "Alright, put the heads here and don't worry about it anymore. Just take it as a warning to the petty officials in the government office."

After that, he took out the fragment of the Tome of the Earth and briefly explained the situation to Huaiqing.

[One: I understand.]

Xu Qi 'an was relieved. Miao Youfang had killed all the senior officials in the government office, which would definitely cause panic among the people. He had to report this matter to Huaiqing as soon as possible so that she could inform the imperial court.

The imperial court would then be able to arrange a new Magistrate in time to stabilize the situation.

The group returned to Shengyi County and found an inn to stay in. In the room, Xu Qi 'an summoned the Buddha's Pagoda and asked the Pagoda Spirit to remove the seal on the Divine Mirror.

"This thing can illuminate the entire Nine Provinces. What a great function. It's simply a trump card in intelligence warfare."

Xu Qi 'an repeatedly looked at the Celestial Divine Mirror in his hand and praised it.

Mu Nanzi leaned against the side of the water tank and stirred the water. She looked back.

"The Nine-Colored Lotus Root is about to ripen."

Xu Qi 'an held half of the Celestial Divine Mirror and walked to the side of the water tank. In the shallow mud, the Nine-Colored Lotus Root had grown from a small half to the length of an adult's arm.

"Isn't it already ripened?" Xu Qi 'an said.

"Not yet. Another ten days will be enough," the reincarnation of the Flower God said confidently.

She raised her chin proudly and said, "This kind of supreme-grade spirit treasure is the only one in the world. If it wasn't for my Spiritual Essence, hmph!"

She stared at Xu Qi 'an with her bright eyes as if waiting for his praise and flattery.

"Great!"

Xu Qi 'an pinched her chin and lifted her face.

"Slap!"

Mu Nanzi slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Don't touch me."

She was a tsundere and could not tolerate being teased like this.

"After ten days, it's time for me to join the Wulin League …" Xu Qi 'an walked to the side of the bed and looked to the southeast.

The Sword Province was to the southeast of Jiang Province.

When the Old Ancestor of the Wulin League was in seclusion, he took a huge risk to help him deal with Xu Pingfeng.

Xu Qi 'an only knew that he was in trouble when he was trying to break through to the Second Stage and was in a dilemma.

Under such circumstances, dealing with a Second Stage Martial Artist might break the balance that the Old Ancestor had been trying to maintain.

"No, it's very likely that the balance has been broken and he is now slipping into the abyss …

"But since the Wulin League didn't send a letter to the capital asking me to fulfill my promise, it means that the situation is not too serious …

"The Wulin League is a big force and the Old Leader is a Peak Third Stage Warrior. I must pull him into my camp.

"Oh right, there's Wan Hua Lou in the Sword Province. Wan Hua Lou is full of beautiful women. With the Saint's LSP nature, he must have a lover. Haha, there will be a good show to watch.

"I can also fan the flames and say that Li Lingsu likes the new and hates the old. With the relationship between the major gangs of the Wulin League and Wan Hua Lou …"

Xu Qi 'an suddenly felt a little impatient.

He walked to the desk with the mirror in hand. His Primordial Spirit turned into a "tentacle" and reached into the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror.

On the bronze mirror, an eyelash-less eye appeared again. It stared coldly at Xu Qi 'an.

"How should I address you?"

Xu Qi 'an conveyed a friendly thought.

"Long live the King of Myriad Demons!"

The Artifact Spirit of the Divine Mirror also conveyed a thought.

"Everyone, let's get to know each other. I am the handsome and charming Silver Gong of Daibun, Xu Qi 'an."

Xu Qi 'an tried to communicate with it.

"Damn the Buddhists! Cut them into pieces!"

The Artifact Spirit of the Divine Mirror said.

… I can't communicate with it at all! Xu Qi 'an scratched his head. He felt that this was a tricky situation.

He thought for a moment and said, "I am your father."

The bronze mirror shook violently. The eyelash-less eye became deeper and more spirited. It was as if it was examining Xu Qi 'an.

At the same time, a majestic thought was transmitted into Xu Qi 'an's mind.

"Lowly human brat, are you blaspheming this god?"

Sober? Xu Qi 'an was surprised and happy. He replied with a thought.

"I am an ally of the Myriad Demons Kingdom."

"What a glib tongue!" The Artifact Spirit of the Divine Mirror snorted. "The Myriad Demons Kingdom was destroyed a long time ago."

"The King left behind a daughter. She is now the leader of the remaining forces of the Myriad Demons Kingdom …"

Xu Qi 'an patiently explained his karmic entanglement with the Myriad Demons Kingdom.

"Lowly human boy, don't try to deceive me. You Buddhist lackey, you will die a horrible death. "

The Artifact Spirit didn't buy it.

When Nine-tailed Celestial Fox descended, it was sealed by the Pagoda Spirit, so it didn't notice the appearance of its master's daughter.

The Buddha's Pagoda is a traitor … Xu Qi 'an pondered for a moment.

"No matter what, you're already in my hands. Why don't we cooperate? You'll be used by me. I'll nurture you. "

"Very tempting conditions. But I refuse!"

The Artifact Spirit of the Divine Mirror seemed to have a backbone. It sneered.

"I'm irreconcilable with the Buddhist Sect. Even if I'm destroyed, thrown out of this place, abandoned, or sealed, I won't eat a single bit of your incense."

Unyielding to the extreme, I respect you as a good man … Xu Qi 'an chose to compromise with the insane Artifact Spirit.

It wouldn't be nice to ask Shirohime to summon the Myriad Demons Kingdom's princess. That would be too disrespectful.

"Fine, I won't force you. One month later, I'll hand you over to the Myriad Demons Kingdom's princess. During this time, you'll be nurtured in the Dragon Breath."

Xu Qi 'an said.

"What bullsh * t Dragon Breath. I won't accept your kindness."

The Artifact Spirit said stubbornly.

I can't be bothered with you … Xu Qi 'an took out the Book of the Earth fragment and threw it in.

When the Celestial Chaos Divine Mirror touched the Book of the Earth fragment, the jade mirror rippled and swallowed it.

Xu Qi 'an used his primordial spirit to "move" the Celestial Chaos Divine Mirror and threw it into the lifelike golden dragon.

"I won't accept your kindness, Buddhist Sect's dog!"

The Divine Mirror threw itself into the Dragon Breath while cursing. The next moment, its cries stopped.

A warm, majestic force wrapped around it and nourished its consciousness. It felt as if it was lying in the arms of the Myriad Demons Kingdom's king.

"Ah ~ ~"

The Divine Mirror couldn't help but moan. "Awesome, awesome. What is this … Why does it feel so good?"

This nourishment was countless times better than the incense. It even soothed the confusion and pain caused by its incomplete consciousness.

Given time, I might be able to repair my incomplete consciousness and return to my previous state … The Divine Mirror suddenly had this thought.

It immediately became excited.

When the Saber saw that a Artifact had come in to compete with it for the Dragon Breath, it immediately expressed its grievance, hoping that its master would chase it away.

Don't worry, you are my son, and it was picked up … Xu Qi 'an comforted it.

"It seems that you like the Dragon Breath very much. Then, can we cooperate now?" Xu Qi 'an smiled.

The Divine Mirror pretended to be dead and didn't respond.

It didn't want to give in, but it also wanted to bathe in the Dragon Breath.

Xu Qi 'an snorted and moved it out with his primordial spirit.

"Let me go back, let me go back."

The Divine Mirror was anxious.

Xu Qi 'an stared at the protruding eyes in the mirror expressionlessly.

"Okay, okay …"

After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, the Divine Mirror finally gave in. "I can be used by you."

The Law of Fragrance is the hardest law in the world. The Nobel Prize owes me a prize … Xu Qi 'an smiled.

"Happy cooperation."

He said impatiently, "Now, I want to see your ability."

Illuminate the Nine Regions!
