Chapter 569

Zhuo Haoran wasn't the only one. All the high-ranking military officials were stunned at first, then started cursing.

"The little emperor is still so stubborn? Does he think his life is too short? Or does he want us to kick him out of the throne? "

"Damn it. Where does the Daibun court get their confidence from? The national treasury is empty, everything is a mess, and even the Supervisor is gone."

"Heh, since he's not afraid of death, let's fight. When we enter the capital, the little emperor will kneel and beg for mercy."

Ever since the Supervisor was sealed and Qingzhou was invaded, the morale of the Yunzhou Army reached its peak. They even thought that it was only a matter of time before they conquered the capital and entered the Central Plains.

When they talked about the Daibun court, their words were full of disdain and condescension.

Therefore, in the eyes of the generals, the peace talks were completely charity and pity. The Daibun court actually dared to reject it?

They thought that when the Yunzhou Army pushed all the way to the capital, when powerful and invincible Transcendent experts like the State Preceptor and Galo Tree came to the capital, would the Daibun have the ability to resist?

Qi Guangbo's expression was solemn. When the generals finished venting their emotions, he knocked on the table and said:

"The intelligence from the Palace of Heavenly Secrets is that Xu Qi'an forced Yongxing to abdicate and supported Princess Royal Huaiqing to ascend the throne."

The generals of the Yunzhou Army, who were still raging and clamoring just a moment ago, were all speechless after hearing Qi Guangbo's words. They looked at each other with astonishment and shock on their faces.

This news was indeed very shocking and caught them off guard. However, its nature was more "ridiculous" and "outrageous". They actually supported a woman to ascend the throne?

"Pfft ~ ~" Someone couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? Is Xu at his wit's end? He actually came up with such a stupid move. "

"Yes, does he think that the Central Plains is not chaotic enough for a woman to ascend the throne? Even if the officials in the capital are afraid of his power and don't dare to rebel immediately, once he leaves the capital, the Empress will probably be given wine or die in the palace. "Zhuo Haoran sneered.

As a bloodthirsty butcher, women were like playthings in his eyes. How could they be worthy to sit on the throne?

Yang Chuannan shook his head and laughed.

"This way, the people in the capital will waver and it will be even harder for them to unite against us. When the Imperial Preceptor refines the fate energy of Qingzhou, it will be hard for them to unite against us.

The other generals roared with laughter. Some were mocking, some were disdainful, and some were ridiculing. They didn't care so much about the failure of the peace talks.

Ji Xuan and Ge Wenxuan looked at each other. Although they were confused and at a loss, they did not rush to agree with the generals. Instead, they looked at Qi Guangbo.

"She who, Qi Emperor, Huaiqing," Qi said. "Right.

Qi Guangbo looked at the crowd and said slowly,

"What do you think of this?" Qi Emperor looked at the crowd and said slowly, "What if I told you that he not only supported a woman to the throne, but also stabilized the court in a short period of time and caused flowers to bloom all over the capital on the day of Princess Royal's coronation? The people in the capital saw it as an auspicious sign from the heavens and believed that Princess Royal's coronation was the will of the heavens to save the unstable Daibun.

"What do you think of this?"

The laughter in the hall suddenly quietened down.

The smiles on the faces of the generals disappeared. They looked at each other in silence to see how their colleagues would react.

Ge Wenxuan said,

"He forced Yongxing to abdicate so that he could support a puppet as the Empress. That way, he would have no worries. But since it was a puppet, wouldn't it be better to choose an ignorant child? Why did he take this risky move and support a woman to the throne? "

Someone said, "Heh.

"That Empress must be as beautiful as a flower. Who knows, she might already be Xu Qi 'an's lover. Everyone knows that Xu Qi 'an is a womanizer. "

Ge Wenxuan frowned and said,

"Those who only think of their enemies as fools are the real fools."

Ji Xuan pondered for a moment.

"According to the intelligence of the Daibun royal family, Princess Royal Huaiqing is a famous talented woman in the capital. She studied at the Yunlu Academy and was an editor at the Hanlin Academy during Yuan Jing's reign. She's not an ordinary woman. "

Due to his family background, Ji Xuan paid special attention to the members of the Daibun royal family. The generals in the hall might not know the background of a princess, but Ji Xuan knew it very well.

"Just because of this?"

Zhuo Haoran understood what Ji Xuan meant. The talented Princess Royal might be more powerful than Yongxing when she ascended the throne. However, due to his prejudice against women, he still had a disdainful attitude.

Qi Guangbo knocked on the table again and said,

"When the spy from Tianji Palace sent the news, the diplomatic mission to the capital was still there. Since Xu Qi 'an was spared, he must be trying to make a deal with us."

Everyone looked at Ji Xuan.

If he was an ordinary son of a concubine, his status would be limited and he would not give the Daibun royal court a chance to demand an exorbitant price.

However, this son of a concubine was Ji Xuan's younger brother (not a twin). As a third-rank Warrior of Yunzhou, Ji Xuan's status was extraordinary. His younger brother was naturally not the same as an ordinary son of a concubine.

Ji Xuan said in a deep voice,

"I will listen to your decision, General."

He took a step back.

Qi Guangbo said,

"Three days later, gather the troops and enter the Yongzhou territory. Besiege the city and not attack. Put pressure on the Daibun royal court. Then send an envoy to contact Yang Gong and force them to release Xu Qi. "

Ge Wenxuan nodded.

"In this way, we can exchange for Prince Ji Yuan with a small price."

Gathering the troops was not only a way to exert pressure, but also to show a strong attitude and cut off the opportunity for the Daibun royal court to demand an exorbitant price.

The generals in the hall heard this and rubbed their palms excitedly.

"I can't wait."

"The soldiers have been looking forward to attacking Yongzhou day and night."

"I don't think they would dare to refuse to hand over Prince Ji Yuan."

…

In the city of Qingzhou, in a mansion less than three miles away from the administrative office.

Xu Pingfeng sat cross-legged. Streams of energy invisible to the naked eye converged toward the mansion and turned into a stream of light that flowed into the body of the warlock in white.

The energy was condensed in his Dantian, forming a turbid air mass.

Xu Pingfeng held the air mass with both palms, refining the "impurities" in the air mass bit by bit, making it transparent and flawless.

The core ability of a Qi cultivator was to refine and purify the fate of a state, then integrate it into one's own body, and use the refined fate to pry the power of all living beings.

When the fate reached a certain level, a qualitative change would occur, and one could become a Heaven's Fate Master, peep into the future, and become the world's top chess player.

The sound of flapping wings could be heard in the courtyard, and a carrier pigeon landed steadily in the courtyard.

Xu Pingfeng opened his eyes and absorbed the turbid air mass into his Dantian. Then, he reached out and "caught" the carrier pigeon in his hand. The carrier pigeon carried a letter from Qi Guangbo.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xu Pingfeng pondered for a moment, then wiped the paper with his finger.

The black handwriting disappeared and turned into a word.

But!

He stuffed the letter back into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and gently tossed it out. Then, he stood up and took a step to the left, arriving at the meditation room next door.

The temperature in the room was as hot as summer. Galo Tree Bodhisattva was sitting cross-legged. His neck was no longer empty, and his head had regenerated.

"The peace talks have failed."

Xu Pingfeng smiled.

Galo Tree Bodhisattva opened his eyes. There was no other expression on his serious face. He said slowly,

"The Supervisor has indeed kept a trump card.

"However, what kind of trump card could give him the confidence to fight against us?"

Xu Pingfeng stood with his hands behind his back and said with a chuckle,

"You don't know him well enough. If he dares to fight to the death with us, it might not be because he has the confidence.

"Even if the Supervisor has kept a trump card, it's impossible for him to directly advance to the first level. It's nothing more than some means to enhance his combat power, and Luo Yuheng is about to pass the tribulation and advance to the first level.

"It gives him some confidence."

Galo Tree Bodhisattva nodded slightly.

Xu Pingfeng continued,

"Three days later, we will send troops to Yongzhou. At that time, we will know once we investigate."

"The White Emperor hasn't returned to the Jiuzhou continent yet?" Galo Tree Bodhisattva asked.

"It will take some time," Xu Pingfeng said.

No one knew what the descendant of the Devil God was doing overseas or what he was planning.

Of course, if Xu Pingfeng deliberately investigated, he could still find some clues, but there was no need for him to do so.

Doing so would only destroy the alliance, and the loss outweighed the gain.

…

Celestial Commissioner.

On the Eight Trigrams Platform, Xu Qi 'an sat cross-legged at the table, looking at the people in the capital and comprehending the power of all living beings.

Light flashed behind him, and Sun Xuanji appeared behind him with Guardian Yuan in his fluttering white robe.

"Have you recovered from your injuries?"

Xu Qi 'an sat cross-legged, leaving a man and an ape with a straight back, just like the Supervisor back then.

Guardian Yuan first looked at Sun Xuanji, and then turned to look at Xu Qi 'an's back.

"Almost done."

Xu Qi 'an nodded and took out a brocade pouch from his pocket.

"The thing inside will tell you what to do next."

Sun Xuanji took the brocade pouch, but didn't open it. He quietly looked at Xu Qi 'an's back.

Guardian Yuan considerately translated:

"Are you imitating Teacher Supervisor? But I think you are more like Junior Brother Yang! "

Xu Qi 'an snorted and didn't answer.

Guardian Yuan considerately translated:

"Xu Yinluo's heart is telling me: Don't compare me with the Act Tough King. I am not imitating Supervisor, I am imitating Zhuge Liang … F * ck, I was careless and didn't guard against this damn monkey. I want to eat monkey brain tonight."

Protector Yuan suddenly woke up and broke free from the immersion state. He quietly shrank behind Sun Xuanji and said in a trembling voice,

"Please give me a chance."

Sun Xuanji opened the brocade pouch and glanced at it. "Hmm." Then, the formation under his feet spread and he teleported away with Guardian Yuan.

Protector Yuan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He felt as if his life had been spared.

At the same time, he realized that his Mind Reading Technique had improved again. He could see through Xu Yinluo even if he didn't restrain his thoughts.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

As soon as Sun Xuanji left, Xu Qi 'an flew to the Lingbao Temple.

He hadn't been to the Lingbao Temple since he returned to the capital. At first, he was not in the mood and didn't have time. Later, he was busy with Mu Nanzi and neglected the Master Teacher.

After all, the Master Teacher must know that he and Mu Nanzi were practicing Dual Cultivation. It was not the desire of a fish pond owner to go to him at this time.

But now, he had to go to the Lingbao Temple.

…

In the Lingbao Temple.

Luo Yuheng sat cross-legged on top of a pond, meditating with her eyes closed.

She wore a feather robe and a lotus crown on her head. There was a bright cinnabar dot between her eyebrows.

She was as cold and otherworldly as a fairy from the Ninth Heaven. The fairy aura that she had cultivated for years could instantly kill most women who were born in the mortal world.

In the pavilion beside the pool sat a woman who was holding a fox cub. She clicked her tongue and said,

She clicked her tongue and said, "The Master Teacher is so beautiful. Her skin is smooth, her eyes are beautiful, and her lips are red.

"You really make a vulgar woman like me envious, jealous, and hateful."

She looked ordinary and old, but her tone was clearly teasing and didn't have any sense of inferiority.

"I'm so envious, jealous, and hateful!" Bai Ji clapped her claws and echoed.

Mu Nanzi sighed.

"The Master Teacher is beautiful, but it's quite pitiful that she doesn't have a man to love her."

Shirohime said softly, "How pitiful!"

Mu Nanzi continued.

"Unlike me, although my looks are average, I at least have a man to love me."

Then she shook her head with a sorrowful expression: "That's not a good thing either, a pervert who won't even let me get out of bed"

A vein protruded from the corner of Luo Yuheng's forehead.

She pretended not to hear anything and continued meditating.

Outside the small courtyard, separated by a wall.

Silently leaving … Xu Qi 'an used Heaven Gu's [Star Shift Dipper] ability to conceal his presence, returning to where he came from, hiding his achievements and fame.

"That idiot Mu Nanzi, she became arrogant after awakening the Flower Deity's spiritual essence … Master Teacher, this is karma for you, who told you to threaten her … hmm, it's none of my business anyways.

"These days, it's all about sisters, Flower Deity, Master, Huaiqing, Ling Yue, Yuan Shuang …"

Xu Qi 'an left the Lingbao Temple.

A few minutes later, an orange cat jumped up the wall and arrived at the secluded courtyard.

Mu Nanzi and Luo Yuheng both looked at the orange cat.

The orange cat didn't panic at all, holding a letter in his mouth, he elegantly walked to the edge of the pond and threw the letter down.

Then he turned around and left.

The Master and Flower Deity both frowned and tried asking:

"Xu Qi 'an?"

The orange cat regained his senses, uttered a cute 'meow', then continued to walk forward.

The two women were getting on in years, but they were still the most beautiful women in the world.

Luo Yuheng waved his hand and caught the letter. After he opened it and read it, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Whose letter is it?"

Mu Nanzi pretended not to care and asked.

"Xu Qi 'an"

Luo Yuheng casually replied.

"What does it say?" Mu Nanzi's ears perked up.

Luo Yuheng's lips curled up, speaking with a casual tone:

"Requesting for dual cultivation"

…

Nighttime. Eight Trigrams Channel.

Xu Qi 'an held the fragment of the Earth Scroll, using the faint starlight to read the message on the mirror.

[One: The Earth Sect's base of operations has been found out, they are indeed in Qing Zhou and have joined Cloud State's rebel army. Currently in charge of Qing Zhou's QING: Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting. Their main base is at Qing Zhou City's QING: Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting.

[They're used to wearing the Earth Sect's Daoist robes, so they're easy to recognize]

Wei Yuan's spies are truly impressive … the members of the Heaven & Earth Society sighed in their minds.

[Nine: Very well, then we'll act according to the plan. Everyone, let's find a place to meet up]

[Three: We'll meet up at the underground palace outside Yong Zhou City. Everyone knows that place, and Yong Zhou is right next to Qing Zhou, so it's convenient to move around, there's no need to come to the capital]

[Eight: The underground palace outside Yong Zhou City?]

Azuro didn't know where the underground palace was.

Chu Yuanzhen sent a message: [Thirty miles south of Yong Zhou City, there's a mountain range. You should be able to meet us there. [Eight: Where are you? If it's not far, we can ride our swords to pick you up.]

Azuro rejected: [No need, it's not too far. I'm already in the Central Plains.]

It was only a few thousand miles away from Yong Zhou City.

[Nine: Then, see you tomorrow at five in the morning!]

All the members replied: [Okay!]

There's going to be a good show tomorrow … Xu Qi 'an put away the book fragments, melted into the shadows, and returned to his room.

The candlelight was as small as a bean.

Mu Nanzi was sitting at the table with Shirohime in her arms, reading a storybook with pictures and words.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

As Xu Qi 'an spoke, he began to take off his robe, preparing to shake the bed with the Flower Goddess.

Mu Nanzi sneered.

"Xu Yinluo, why aren't you looking for your Imperial Advisor for dual cultivation? What are you doing here?"

？ Why am I looking for the Imperial Advisor for dual cultivation? It's not the time for dual cultivation yet. Normally, Luo Yuheng is still very resistant to having sex with me … Xu Qi 'an didn't understand why she was jealous.

Weren't you flaunting your prowess in the day and curling up beautifully?

"What are you talking about?" Xu Qi 'an said impatiently.

Mu Nanzi snorted and didn't bother to respond to him.
