Stars would descend in troubled times.
The power of a large star would often be dispersed to dozens or even hundreds of people, forming a Star Fate Holder.
From the starlight surrounding the body to the appearance of the Star Fate Holder, the promotion to the Star Secondary Fate Holder, and finally the Star Fate Holder, the process was often very bloody. It was necessary to kill other competitors and gather the star power into one body.
This was a bloody path that a Star Fate Holder had to go through.
But now, Wu Ming directly deprived the other Goat Fate Holders' layouts and providence and brazenly guided the Star Fate Holder to bless Wu Tiehu's body. It was equivalent to artificially creating a 'Goat Fate Holder'.
Only when the heavens released their killing intent could the stars be changed. Now, Wu Ming did this, it was a case of a man surpassing the heavens! He had done something that only the heavens could do.
Such a change, even if a Heaven Immortal wanted to make a move, it would be extremely troublesome, and there would be repercussions in the future.
But when Wu Ming did it, it was as easy as lifting a finger. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it could not be done unless one was a Golden Immortal!
Now that fate was changed, it was impossible for the two mighty figures, Celestial Thearch and Absolute Heaven Immortal Sovereign, to not notice it. This was a greeting.
"Men, bring Hong Zhu here!"
Wu Tiehu's eyes shone brightly as his injuries healed. First, he ordered people to bring wine and meat. He ate while dealing with official business. This recovery made him feel that he was not only full of energy, but his eyes and ears were also sharp. He could handle any complicated affairs with ease. For example, those logistics accounts, any general would have a headache looking at them, but he could see everything clearly at a glance.
At this time, an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately shouted.
The two bodyguards beside him bowed. Not long after, a blue-clothed scholar came in and bowed: "Greetings, General. Seeing that you are well, I am willing to shorten my lifespan by ten years …"
He looked to be less than twenty years old and had a handsome appearance. At this moment, tears trickled down his face, and it was obvious that he was extremely emotional.
"Good … Hong Zhu, you are very good!"
Wu Tiehu, on the other hand, was gnashing his teeth. "You were the advisor I recruited with a large sum of money, yet you purposely came up with such a vicious plan to harm me. Previously, I rashly attacked because of your advice. What else do you have to say?"
His eyes narrowed as a chilling murderous aura descended.
Hong Zhu was startled. He felt that today's Wu Tiehu was very different from usual. When Wu Tiehu stared at him, Hong Zhu felt a chill in his heart, as if he was being seen through.
He had no choice but to argue, "General, this lowly one's plan was wrong. Even if you kill me according to military law, I'm willing to do so. But if you say that you deliberately framed me, that's pure nonsense. When you were heavily injured, this lowly one prayed to the Eight Lords day and night, wishing that I could repay you with my body …"
"In that case, this general blamed you wrongly! Unfortunately … "
Wu Tiehu shook his head. "Bring it up …"
A badly mutilated human figure was brought forward. When Hong Zhu saw that it was his attendant, his face turned ashen.
He knew that this general had long suspected him. When he was invited here, he also captured his attendant and interrogated him. Although he had no evidence of what he had done, his suspicious behavior and all kinds of strange things could not be hidden from his attendant. Under the torture, he could not count on the attendant to keep his secrets.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "General Wu, since things have come to this, kill me or torture me, do as you please!"
"You're Ding Bao's man?"
Wu Tiehu glared at him with a murderous look on his face.
"No … It's just that I have a personal grudge with the general. My real name is not Hong Zhu, but Yang Wen. I also have a younger brother, Yang Wu. Do you remember?"
Looking at the bodyguards coming over from both sides, Yang Wen calmly asked with a cold smile.
"Yang Wu? That Boastful Scholar? "
Wu Tiehu was stunned. Immediately, the image of a young man who spoke passionately appeared in front of him.
"Hehe … He dared to provoke me just because he was scheming. How is it? Are you satisfied with the gift I gave him?"
Wu Tiehu carefully looked at Yang Wen in front of him. "You two brothers really don't look alike at all. I wonder if your mother … Hehe …"
"Bastard!"
Yang Wen was furious. "Evil thief, I only regret not being able to kill you this time. You caused my younger brother to drown himself in the river. Such a sin must be settled …"
"Dead?"
Wu Tiehu sneered. "He sought his own death. What does that have to do with me?"
However, he was clear that the reason why Yang Wu sought his own death had something to do with him.
He followed Wu Zhi and became a general. Naturally, he had a big family business. A group of vassals came to him, and he needed to buy property and settle down his family.
Although Wu Zhi's political system was clear at this time, and it was unlikely that he could take it by force, it would be a lie to say that he did not have preferential treatment. In addition, he was born in the military and had always been overbearing. Thus, he provoked some disputes with the officials.
At this time, the scholar named Yang Wu stood up.
He was eloquent and deliberately made a big fuss. In the court, he refuted Wu Tiehu's arguments and even spread to Wu Ming's ears.
In the end, Wu Tiehu naturally did not have a good ending.
He was also a sinister person. On the surface, he admitted defeat, but he secretly hired a desperado to stop Yang Wu, cut his face, and left a mark.
This was quite fatal.
At this time, whether it was the recommendation or the examination carried out by Wu Zhi, the prerequisite for a scholar to become an official was to have good facial features and the bearing of an official.
With a scar on his face, he could not pass the first test. Not only would his career be ruined, but he would also be discriminated against and would not be able to enter the mainstream society. It was equivalent to his life being ruined.
His family was just a poor family. Even if Yang Wu appealed, it was hopeless. After all, he was still a commoner who had not passed the examination and did not have an official position. Even if he reported it to the government, he would only suffer a minor injury. At most, the culprit would be imprisoned for a few months and punished with dozens of beatings. Why would a desperado and a troublemaker be afraid of this?
Therefore, there was no way to appeal, and knowing that his life was ruined, he could not take it anymore and jumped into the river!
If Wu Ming knew about this, he would definitely sigh. It was not a good thing to show off one's ability.
It was just like the protagonist in the historical novels in his previous life. He did not even pass the Elementary Scholar exam, but he went around trying to make a name for himself. Even though he had a golden finger and was successful in every endeavor, he did not know that under the rules of society at that time, to deal with a commoner in white, he could hire a hoodlum to break his right hand or cut his face.
At that time, if he was injured, it was just a brawl. Breaking the hand of a scholar who was not even a scholar was not a big deal.
However, if his face was injured or his right hand was left with a scar, it would completely cut off the possibility of him becoming an official. If the transmigrator did not know how to hide his strength and bide his time, he would always take the lead, fearing that the matter would not escalate and would sooner or later incur resentment.
If he did not wait for revenge now, could he just obediently watch the other party pass the imperial examinations, go all the way to Elementary Scholar, then High Scholar, and finally settle the score?
Wu Tiehu obviously understood this logic. Seeing that Yang Wu was talented and intelligent, he did not say that he could really succeed. Thus, he immediately struck a vicious blow, completely cutting off the other party's future possibility of becoming an official.
Even though the Dazhou Dynasty was in chaos, it was still a society that valued appearance.
A disfigured young scholar did not have a great reputation, nor was he a peerless talent. There was no possibility of him standing out among the other feudal vassals.
"So, you are here to take revenge, to avenge your brother?"
Wu Tiehu's eyes narrowed, "Take him away and behead him as a sacrifice in the future."
After Yang Wen was taken away, he immediately gave a secret order to his trusted soldiers, "Keep the information in the tent confidential. You all monitor this person's tent and see who else is going to contact him!"
It was reasonable for this person to want to take revenge on him. However, to be able to set such a huge trap, not to mention the other party, there must be a mole in his own military camp.
Of course, this matter must be investigated to the end!
Wu Tiehu had already vaguely come up with a list of suspects. At this time, he wanted to use Yang Wen to lure the snake out of its hole.
He slightly narrowed his eyes and there seemed to be a flash of cold light in his pupils …
…
Time was pushed forward slightly.
Xiang Liu City, in the Imperial Residence of Prince Ding.
"It's a success …"
Wu Ming looked at the vast starry sky and the shining Yangyang Star with a faint smile on his face, "I reversed the Heaven's Will and made Wu Tiehu the Yangyang Star Lord. At least, there is no problem in facing his own Human Tribulation … As for the other external tribulations, before they clearly see my background, many powerful figures will not dare to make a move. There is no doubt about the result of this battle. A mere Ding Bao has no power to turn the situation around …"
"But …"
He was a little worried, "True gold is refined after thousands of trials. I erased all the trials that Wu Tiehu should have gone through and directly made him achieve the True Fate of the Stars. Even though his luck increased for a while, he also lacked the tempering of his mind. Moreover, with the accumulation of tribulation energy, I'm afraid there will be more tribulations in the future. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for him."
He had also seen the fate of this servant. To be able to achieve the Secondary Fate of the Stars and become an invincible general on the battlefield was already borrowing his luck. However, his fate was not very outstanding.
Now that he had awakened the True Fate, it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
"The True Fate of the Stars is a great fortune and a great fate. Those without a strong foundation cannot bear it, or else their fate will be too great … However, it is normal for generals to die early. A general dying in a hundred battles, if he did not change his fate, perhaps he would have fallen under Ding Bao's hands …"
At this time, the plants in the courtyard were deep and serene. The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the crows were flying to the south. Wu Ming walked straight to the center of the garden and sat down in a pavilion. He then shouted, "Servants!"
"Master, what are your orders?"
Two maids came forward. Their voices were gentle and their faces were charming.
"How can there be no wine under such a bright moon?"
Wu Ming smiled and asked the maids to bring a jar of fine wine and two cups.
Seeing their puzzled expressions, he waved his hand and said, "I want to entertain a guest. I don't need you to serve me. You may leave!"
"Yes, Master!"
The two maids' eyes were filled with disappointment as they left.
The entire garden suddenly quieted down.
Wu Ming quietly poured a cup for himself and took a sip.
"This wine is only aged in the human world. It is not as good as the immortal wine of the Heavenly Court, but it still has a bit of the joy of the mortal world. Since the honored guest is here, would you like to drink a cup?"
He raised his cup and saluted a certain direction.
"Of course!"
A voice as clear as jade came. Immediately, a young man slowly walked out under the moonlight. Even though he was only wearing casual clothes, there was an extremely noble aura that could not be concealed.
