Jun Wu Xie looked around and asked, "Where are Chan 'er and Xiaoxiao?"
"Chan 'er pestered Xiaoxiao to go to the back of the mountain to play."
Concubine Ling poured some hot tea and put away the jade scroll on the table with a smile.
Jun Wu Xie sat down in front of the green stone table and sipped his tea. He said, "Have things been going well in the imperial court recently? For example, did you encounter any problems with the spiritual fields?"
"I don't think so." Concubine Ling also sat down and shook her head. "The spiritual fields are being managed by His Majesty's people. I haven't asked about it in a long time."
"Why are you standing? Sit."
Jun Wu Xie looked at Mu Yunxi and then at Mu Xuelan.
"You guys chat first. I have something to say to Yunxi."
Mu Xuelan grabbed Mu Yunxi's hand and walked out of the courtyard toward the back of the mountain.
Mu Yunxi wanted to say something but stopped. She wanted to struggle but didn't in the end. She let Mu Xuelan pull her forward.
"She's the Holy Maiden of Ice Cloud House, Mu Yunxi?"
Qin Keqing and Su Lan were both shocked.
Jun Wu Xie retracted her gaze from their backs and nodded. "Yes, and she and Xue Lan are mother and daughter …"
Qin Keqing and Su Lan's mouths fell open. They were speechless for a long time.
Even Concubine Ling was stunned. She didn't expect the two to have such a relationship.
She felt that something was wrong with Mu Xuelan and thought that they were master and disciple. Who would have thought that they were … mother and daughter?
"Sir, why are you so into this?"
Su Lan blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.
"Hmph, I knew you were a big pervert. Is it so exciting to have both mother and daughter?"
Qin Keqing felt no pressure and became cheerful. She teased him with a red face.
"So what if they're mother and daughter? The cultivation world doesn't care about these things."
Concubine Ling said disapprovingly. In fact, she was still a little surprised.
"It's not what you think …" The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth twitched as she said, "I didn't know about their relationship before this. I met Yunxi in the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm. At that time, I knew very little about the Ice Cloud Building, let alone their relationship."
"Mister, you don't have to explain." Su Gang covered her mouth and giggled, "This pair of mother and daughter are extremely beautiful. Even in the entire universe, they can be ranked in the top 10. Rather than letting others take advantage of them, why not let you take advantage of them?"
"This is getting more and more ridiculous!"
.........................
Looking at Mu Xuelan's reaction, she seemed to be angry.
................. Qin Keqing saw that Jun Wu Xie was a little displeased and explained: "The Ice Cloud Tower is very special. They only pass down their female bloodline to a single descendant and will not marry for their entire lives. They will also not come into contact with men. They place their own blood essence into the heart of the Ice Cloud Tower to give birth to the next generation and they do not have any actual ability to give birth."
............. . "Su Lan was a little disappointed." Then the forbidden feeling isn't that strong. That's the feeling I want. "
Jun Wu Xie, "…"
This woman was getting bolder ever since she followed him. What kind of words was that?
Qin Keqing and Concubine Ling glared at her in embarrassment.
At that moment, they heard footsteps.
Jun Wu Xie turned her head and a smile appeared on her face. "Lord Alcohol?"
He got up and walked over. He saw Lord Alcohol holding a little girl's hand. He couldn't walk steadily and had a milk bottle in his mouth. She was looking at him curiously with her big watery eyes.
"Wu Xie, this is your Junior Sister, Fan Yin." As Lord Alcohol spoke, he said to Little Fanyin, "Aren't you always clamoring to meet your Eldest Senior Brother? He's your Senior Brother. "
"Yiya ~ Senior Brother ~" Little Fan Yin sucked on her pacifier and giggled. With the milk bottle in her mouth, she ran unsteadily to Jun Wu Xie and opened her tiny arms. "Senior Brother, hug me ~"
The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth twitched. She really didn't expect that Lord Alcohol would find such a young disciple and even give her the same seniority as herself. Out of the blue, she had an additional junior sister who looked like a baby …
Seeing her run over, Jun Wu Xie was afraid that she would fall. He quickly went forward and hugged her.
Little Fan Yin looked at him curiously with her round eyes. She giggled as she released the pacifier and handed the milk bottle to Jun Wu Xie's mouth. She said in a childish voice, "Senior Brother, eat Grandma ~"
"Ahem, if Senior Brother doesn't want to eat, Little Fan Yin will."
Little Fan Yin pouted as tears welled up in her eyes. She pouted and said, "Senior Brother doesn't like Junior Sister ~"
"I like you. You are Junior Sister. How can I like you?"
He smiled and pinched her pink cheeks.
"Then Senior Brother will eat Grandma ~"
Little Fan Yin stubbornly brought the pacifier to his mouth. This was her baby. She wanted to share her baby with Senior Brother so that he would dote on her even more.
"I'll eat, I'll eat …"
Jun Wu Xie's face turned green. He suppressed the discomfort and awkwardness in his heart and sucked on the pacifier.
He felt that everyone was staring at him. He felt indescribably awkward as his face burned.
"Senior Brother is the best ~"
Little Fan Yin's eyes narrowed as she smiled. She kissed him on the cheek and then hugged the milk bottle to Concubine Ling and the others. "Senior Sister, you have to give Senior Brother some Grandma ~"
Pfft!
Jun Wu Xie almost spat it out.
Concubine Ling, Qin Keqing, and Su Lan's faces turned red. They were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a place to hide.
"This child …"
Lord Alcohol hurriedly carried Little Fanyin over and took her away as she struggled.
Jun Wu Xie stood there awkwardly for a while. He looked in the direction of the sect's main hall and said, "Our Celestial Slayer Sword Sect seems to have a lot of cute little fellows?"
"Yes, they are the children that Nalan Jie and the others found. They are all three to six years old. The Patriarch personally chose nine of them — four girls and five boys — to be your personal disciples. As their master, shouldn't you go and see them? "
"They are cultivating, so I won't disturb them. By the way, has there been any movement at Ice Cloud Building recently? "
"Yes." Concubine Ling sighed and said, "Ice Cloud Building is not in a good situation now. Since Young Master went to Binhai Ancient Town half a month ago, there have been people harassing Ice Cloud Building's people outside. They flirted with them verbally and even injured them physically. Later, there were even people who went to the sect to provoke them. Ice Cloud Building was always at a disadvantage. "
"How is Ice Cloud Building now?"
"The situation is terrible. Ice Cloud Building's people are basically stuck in the sect and don't dare to come out. All their properties have been eaten up, and now they can't even keep their position in the treasure house. "
"Which forces are involved?"
"Holy Gate, Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, and West Desert Buddhist Sect's Pudu Temple."
"Pudu Temple?"
Jun Wu Xie was stunned. The monks of Pudu Temple were involved in this kind of thing. What were they planning to do?
"Yes, I specially investigated. There are two major sects in Pudu Temple. One is Vajra Zen Sect, and the other is Blissful Zen Sect. The one involved in this is Blissful Zen Sect."
"Blissful Zen Sect. Isn't Blissful Zen Sect a branch of Tantric Buddhism? Why did they form a Buddhist sect together with Vajra Zen Sect?"
Jun Wu Xie was deeply surprised. Blissful Zen Sect, a group of lecherous monks, no wonder they wanted to take over Ice Cloud Building.
The women of Ice Cloud Building were all ice and jade. They were the best cauldrons for Dual Cultivation. Blissful Zen Sect would of course be tempted.
"Recently, several holy sects of Ice Cloud Building were heavily injured. Their Heavenly Jade Guardian was also injured. Now, they can only rely on the sect's formation to defend. Outside Ice Cloud Building, many experts of Holy Gate, Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, and Blissful Zen Sect have gathered.
"A few days ago, they issued an ultimatum to Ice Cloud Building, giving Ice Cloud Building a month to consider whether to submit. The condition for submitting is to provide them with a total of ten thousand disciples and upper echelons every three years to be their concubines. If Ice Cloud Building doesn't agree, they will take over the entire Ice Cloud Building and capture the hundreds of thousands of women to humiliate! "
"Young Master, should we help Ice Cloud Building resolve this crisis?" Concubine Ling sighed and said, "Now that the world's environment has changed, those forces are even more anxious. They all want to increase their strength quickly. Plucking the women of Ice Cloud Building is one of their methods to increase their cultivation. If we don't help, I'm afraid … "
"You don't have to worry about Ice Cloud Building. I have my own plans." After Jun Wu Xie finished speaking, he continued, "Go and prepare to recruit talents in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I need a large number of talents to manage the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether it's the upper echelons or the lower echelons. The most important criteria are character and temperament. With your soul realm, you should be able to see through their inner thoughts. "
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
Concubine Ling looked at him in surprise. Is he going to make a big move?
"I want to replace some of the Great Zhou Dynasty's officials in a short time! I'm going to take a walk in the city. You guys do your own things. "
With that, he flew into the air and left.
The Great Zhou Dynasty's capital had never been so lively and prosperous.
Jun Wu Xie also hadn't strolled on the streets of the Great Zhou Dynasty's capital for a long time.
He changed his appearance and went to the east side of the city. Feeling the current prosperity, he felt very emotional.
When he passed by a district government office, he saw that it was full of people and heard the sound of drums.
He walked forward and saw an old man in his sixties beating the drums and crying out for injustice.
However, he was thrown down the stairs by the bailiffs and his head was bleeding from the fall.
"Sir, please help this commoner. This commoner doesn't have any land. The land that should have been given to this commoner has been taken by the country gentry. This commoner works for the country gentry and can't feed my grandson at home!"
The old man's face was full of tears. "This commoner's three sons sacrificed their lives for the country during the defense of the capital. This commoner has six grandsons and five of them died on the battlefield. At that time, the oldest was only sixteen years old. Now, I'm left with a six-year-old grandson, my only bloodline. This commoner can't let him starve to death. Sir, please have mercy and help this commoner …"
The corner of Jun Wu Xie's eyes twitched violently. He took out a rune memory stone and silently recorded the scene here.
"Unruly commoner, how dare you disturb the government office and speak without thinking! Everyone has been given land. You say that you don't have any land. You must have sold your land to someone else! This is a serious crime! "
"No! This commoner is innocent. This commoner didn't! "
The old man panicked and kowtowed to the two bailiffs.
"Hmph!" The bailiffs sneered and glanced coldly at the people gathered nearby. "Did you see that? This is the fate of an unruly commoner! You sold your land privately and still dare to complain to the government office. This is a serious crime. Take him down! "
Immediately, two people came forward and grabbed the old man's arms and dragged him inside.
"Wait!"
Jun Wu Xie came forward and pushed the two bailiffs away. He looked at them coldly and said, "Is this how you treat the family of a hero?"
"Kid, who are you? How dare you go against the government office in public? Family of a hero? Many people have sacrificed their lives for the Great Zhou Empire. Does he deserve special treatment? Besides, were we the ones who forced his sons and grandsons to go to the battlefield? "
When these words came out, the people around were furious. However, they didn't dare to say anything.
They had seen the government office's methods. The old man who cried injustice was directly labeled as someone who sold his land privately. This was a serious crime punishable by death!
"Did any of you go to the battlefield in the war between the Great Zhou Empire and Celestial Forest?"
Jun Wu Xie was really angry.
"No, so what?"
The two bailiffs crossed their arms and looked at him playfully.
"If it weren't for their sacrifice, do you think you would still be alive to stand here and bully their old father and grandfather? You ungrateful bastard! "
"How dare you insult the people of the government!"
"You're courting death!"
A few bailiffs came forward and were about to attack him.
"Little brother, leave quickly. You can't win against them. Run!"
The old man didn't know where his courage came from. He rushed in front of Jun Wu Xie and blocked the bailiffs. "Little brother, run!"
Jun Wu Xie was shocked.
Looking at the old man's thin back, he didn't know what to feel.
He had never thought that there would be a day when an ordinary old man who didn't know how to cultivate would stand in front of him and protect him with his old body.
"Old man, you don't know what's good for you!"
The bailiffs pulled out their sabers and slashed at the old man.
"Puff!"
A golden light flashed and the heads of the two bailiffs flew high into the air. Fresh blood spurted out.
This was too sudden. The people around them were shocked and screamed. They all looked at the young man who attacked in horror.
"Little brother, you … you …"
The old man was also shocked.
"Those who intend to overthrow the Great Zhou Empire will be killed without mercy!"
Jun Wu Xie's voice was cold. He carried the old man with one hand and disappeared in front of the government office.
When the officials of the government office rushed out with the bailiffs, he was already gone.
…
A military camp in the East City was in an uproar. Dozens of generals ran out of their tents.
"Welcome, Sovereign God!"
They all knelt on the ground.
At this moment, the old man turned his head and realized that the young man's appearance had changed.
His pupils contracted quickly. Then, he cried tears of joy and knelt on the ground. He said fearfully, "I didn't know you were Sovereign God. I have offended you. Please forgive me!"
"Old man, get up. You didn't offend me, so there's no need to kneel." He pulled the old man up and said to the generals in front of him, "Get up! Now, immediately have your people enter the city in plain clothes. Investigate all the offices and departments. If there's anyone who has violated the law, colluded with officials or merchants, bullied the people, disrespected the martyrs, or corrupted the law, capture them alive and bring them to the Central Capital. They will be judged together and put to death by a thousand cuts in front of everyone! "
"Sovereign God, this … isn't this action a little too violent?"
The commander of the military camp was shocked.
In the past few months, he had heard a lot of news. Many people in important positions in the imperial court were involved.
In the current Great Zhou Empire, there were endless spirit fields. The harvest of spirit rice was astonishing. Every grain of spirit rice was a fortune. Naturally, many people could not resist the temptation.
Moreover, ever since outsiders started doing business in the capital, there were many problems with the approval of many projects.
He only knew the surface. Because he was in the military camp, he could not fully understand the problems within.
"What, are you also involved?"
"No, absolutely not!" The commander was so scared that his entire body went soft. He knelt heavily on the ground and said in panic, "Sovereign God, please investigate. Even if this general were to die nine times, he would never dare to do such a thing!"
"That's good!" Jun Wu Xie coldly said, "All of you, remember this well. The Great Zhou Empire is the Great Zhou Empire of the people, but it is also my Great Zhou Empire! Whoever dares to do such a shady business in the Great Zhou Empire is stabbing this Jun Wu Xie in the back. They will not live! "
"Yes, yes, yes, this general will remember and will not forget!"
"Enough, act according to my orders immediately! Remember, be secretive, swift, and precise! Don't give them time to destroy the evidence! Don't miss a single one. Anyone involved in this matter will be arrested and brought to the Central Capital! "
"Sovereign God, rest assured. This general promises to complete the task. This general will go now!"
The commander hurriedly left with several dozen subordinates and quickly gathered the soldiers.
"Old Man, you will stay in the military camp for the time being. Once this matter is dealt with, you can go back. You don't need to worry about the fields. What should be given to you will definitely be given to you."
"This old man will forever remember Sovereign God's great kindness!"
The old man knelt on the ground and wept with joy.
When he raised his head again, Jun Wu Xie's figure was long gone.
At this time, Jun Wu Xie had already appeared in the West City, his appearance still changed.
He did not expect that in just a few short months, the capital would become so foul.
The desire of some people, their nature of pursuing profit, was beyond his imagination.
Perhaps those people's minds had not yet turned and thought that the Great Zhou Empire was still the Great Zhou Empire of the past.
This time, he wanted everyone in the Great Zhou Empire to clearly understand that the Great Zhou Empire was no longer the Great Zhou Empire of the past!
