Beasts become gods

Chapter 348 The Emperor’s Favor

Author: Sunday Lang

At the beginning of the 237th year of the Emperor's calendar of the Jialuo Empire, sergeants from five provinces were mobilized to wipe out Wang Chengliang's army. Sun Wang of the Shenwei Army was the commander-in-chief, Deng Juzhuo, the left general of Diancang Province, was the deputy general, and Wu Yijun, the former general of Puluo Province, provided military supplies and led 30,000 troops.

He went north with the intention of completing his achievements in one battle, trying to capture Wang Chengliang alive, demonstrating the country's power, knocking on the mountains to shock the tigers, and pacifying the small bandits in the north.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of the men in black robes put the plan of the Northern Expedition in vain. Sun Wang retreated when he saw the difficulty, and sent his troops back to Yongyao City to station outside the city to punish him. This move angered the Jialuo Emperor Luo Chen, but it seemed that he was sincerely inviting him, but in fact he was not.

The suspicion of forcing the palace to rebel made Luo Chen frightened and frightened. Outside, there were men in black robes who were powerful and could take his life at any time. Inside, there were city lords from various provinces who were willing to rebel. The control of the imperial power was getting weaker and weaker, and there was a real suspicion that he was trying to evade him.

These changes made Luo Chen panic all day long, and he could not sleep at night, tossing and turning, with the maids surrounding him without any thought. With his Spirit Emperor level strength, if he was really targeted by the black-robed man, he would be able to burp in minutes.

If your life ends here, how can you talk about the beauty of the country?

After all, the real ruler of the Jia Luo Empire was never just himself, but the powerful people from aristocratic families all over the imperial court and all provinces, cities and counties. They seemed to be sitting on this supreme throne, enjoying endless glory and wealth.

The reason why he is highly respected by everyone is because he has never violated the interests of his class and has the wisdom to weigh the pros and cons. This is the main reason why he can sit on the throne safely.

If the man in black robe captures and kills him, the pedantic veterans of the imperial court will only support his young children to the throne and seduce them with promises of benefits, so that the children will be easily bewitched by those veterans and become

A puppet that can be driven at will is easy to control and can meet the interests of all parties. This is really good news for those group of gossips who talk all day long.

The uneasy Luo Chen couldn't endure the long night. Although he mobilized the court guards early and the patrol troops guarded all parts of the imperial court and killed them on the spot at the slightest sign of trouble, he still couldn't sleep peacefully.

Under the personal escort of the bodyguards, he climbed onto the throne and waited for the ministers to rush to the court. He was more vigilant because of his chills and physical weakness. Looking at the ministers who crossed the threshold, he felt murderous intent in his heart.

A group of ministers were still whispering before entering the court. When they saw Luo Chen sitting on the throne, their expressions suddenly changed. They quickly restrained their thoughts from continuing to talk, and stood in their own positions, lowering their heads and staring at their toes.

He was afraid that the emperor would target him, and if he felt resentful, he would execute all his family members, including the young and old, and his years of clinging to him would be in vain.

The ministers all know very well that the emperor, who usually takes a long time to come to court, now comes earlier than anyone else. Today's morning court may not be so peaceful, and it can be deadly.

"I heard that the coalition forces from the five provinces returned without success and were asking for blame outside the outer ring city. Do you have any advice?"

All the ministers looked at each other in confusion, their eyes wandering, their heads lowered and their chests buried, not daring to look directly at Luo Chen.

Seeing the ministers acting like ostriches to avoid danger, Luo Chen raised his eyelids and said very dissatisfied.

"On weekdays, ministers talk loudly and talk about the rise and fall of their family and country with the intention of visiting them in person. What's going on now?"

At this moment, an old man in the front row of the ministers stepped forward and said respectfully: "To inform my emperor, the man in black robe is very powerful, but he has never hurt any of the soldiers. I think he is not a despicable person like the one below. If he

If your cultivation level has reached the Spiritual Emperor realm, you will face the inevitable end of ascension in the near future. It won’t be long before you think about it. Banditry in the north is happening again and again, mostly because they are poor and have no way to make a fortune, which is why they are getting worse.

Given today's situation, I believe that we should not take drastic measures, but instead implement special regional policies, reduce taxes and lighten taxes, encourage farming and production, ease people's emotions, and take steps to achieve this."

"Oh? Then according to Wu Shenxiang's wishes, how should I carry out this so-called local special administration?" Luo Chen became interested, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, regardless of whether the straw was still strong, and he patiently listened.

Wu Tianmou told.

Wu Tianmou faked a cough, straightened his posture, and spoke calmly and slowly.

"In my humble opinion, the frequent occurrence of disasters in the north is indeed a bad year. We should focus on stability. We can order the northern army to continue to guard the northern border, and dispatch soldiers from Puluo and Galan provinces to guard the north of the province to prevent unrest in the north.

As a result, heavy troops were deployed north of Galan and Puluo, firstly to nip the trouble in the bud, secondly to prevent neighboring countries from sending craftsmen to invade the empire's territory, and thirdly, to borrow troops to cultivate acres of land on the spot, irrigate canals, and utilize fertile soil.

The soil is used to grow crops, and the right to trade within the province of Galan is granted, and must be traded with designated chambers of commerce or city lords in neighboring provinces. This can solve the suffering of local poverty, and can also give full play to military strength and military power to supplement military expenditures.

The national treasury can also be replenished."

"It's so good. Wu Shenxiang is really the pillar of the country. He thinks about being lonely everywhere, and he has a heart." Luo Chen was overjoyed, but he also became suspicious. He was even more wary of Wu Tianmou. He was too old for the aging prime minister.

I was a little afraid. I wanted to scold the first speaker before giving him death, but unexpectedly Wu Tianmou stood up. The unknown fire in my heart had nowhere to vent, and I became even more angry. On the surface, he remained calm and slightly

He nodded, as if he agreed very much.

"Your Majesty, I am just taking care of state affairs and fulfilling my duties. Due to the harsh climate in the north, the soil fertility is still there but the sunlight is not good, and the time suitable for farming is extremely limited. I suggest that we send the Agricultural Affairs Bureau to be experts in planting.

If our skilled craftsmen and capable ministers go with the army, we will be able to properly solve the problem of barrenness in the northern part of the empire, and we can also get rid of our dependence on Pinglan and Dinghai provinces for food."

"Very good, this move can solve an urgent need, and it should be the first contribution! When mentioning Dinghai Province, I immediately think of the Shenwei Army. The expedition to the southern region returned without success, and the suppression of the northern region also achieved nothing. Could it be that they have eaten too much free money?

Have they all become soft persimmons at the mercy of others? What do the captains of the five armies do for food? The northern and southern expeditions were all defeated. Is it because the commander is incompetent or the soldiers are tired? All the hard work was in vain!"

Luo Chen took this opportunity to get furious, and the ministers under the throne bowed their heads in silence, their chins almost touching the thoracic vertebrae.

After Luo Chen's breath stabilized, Qian Jin, Minister of the Ministry of War, took a cautious step out of the group of ministers and said anxiously: "A man in black robe suddenly appeared in the north. His strength is far beyond that of ordinary spiritual warriors. I am afraid that he is about to step into the ascended spiritual realm."

It was done by a strong man in the imperial realm, but the coalition forces of the five provinces did not lose anyone. It can be seen that the man in black robe did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. According to Wu Shenxiang's inference, the man in black robe did not show his face, but only warned but did not take action. This

He has a kind heart, which shows that he is not a despicable person who abuses his power. He believes that he should tell the world that he has been ordered to be the patron saint of the empire. He is promised a high-ranking official salary and can be named the most powerful person in the empire.

People and the empire are tightly bound together, and this can also win over the strong, causing the world's strongest to flock in and be used by the empire, at your command."

As soon as Qian Jin finished speaking, Luo Chen's eyes glanced at Qian Jin, which made Qian Jin feel a chill running down his spine. He secretly thought that my life was at stake, and he swallowed quickly and lowered his body even lower.

"The allied forces of the five provinces knelt down in the outer ring city of Yongyao Capital to plead guilty. I thought that I should ignore the past grievances and ordered the soldiers to make up for their mistakes and sharpen their will. This move can not only show your majesty's compassion for the soldiers, but also show your attitude and let people

All the officers and men know that Your Majesty loves the people as his own sons and cannot bear to be harshly criticized." His already aging body looked even older after such a bow. Over the years, the curtains at the court had been closed hundreds of times, but this moment seemed to be the most glorious moment in his life.

"Continue." Luo Chen said coldly, his voice sounding impatient.

"The Southern Territory Legion has grown rapidly in recent years. It has taken in refugees without the permission of the empire, resulting in the number of troops exceeding 100,000. It is unwise to think of a conquest at this moment. I have a plan for my humble position. I can issue an edict and lead officials from the Foreign Affairs Office to the Southern Territory to declare the decree.

, based on this, it can be considered that Qiao Anguo really has a disobedient heart. If he accepts the decree happily and acts according to the decree to provide all kinds of resources needed by the empire, then he will not be held accountable and he will be given the title of Zhennan General.

, using the population increase as an excuse to increase taxes and tributes, in order to test Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu, whether he is suspected of treason. If they are willing to accept it, they will use this to suppress it, and at the same time strengthen the military control of Yanxia and Pinglan provinces.

If there is any unusual movement in the southern region, troops can be dispatched for reinforcement as soon as possible."

Luo Chen's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, as if he was seriously considering the pros and cons of this, and said slowly for a long time.

"In the beginning, Shangshu Qian pushed hard for Wang Chengliang to lead his army to guard the northern Xinjiang. Now the trouble in the north has become a reality. The general in charge of Zhenbei killed the messenger and cut off the territory to claim lordship. It is a fact that the ambition of the wolf is obvious. I had high hopes for you, but you have disappointed me!

"

"The crime of humble duty deserves death!" Qian Jin knew that he must bear the blame. At this moment, if others were to impeach him, he would still have room for maneuver. But now it was Luo Chen who held the blame, and the picture he saw with his eyes gradually became darker.

, sweating profusely but not feeling body heat, just thinking that life is coming to an end.

"Qian Jin, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, strongly recommended Wang Chengliang, which caused the epidemic in the north. He thought that Qian Jin had worked hard for many years and made great achievements, but now his eyesight is dim and his mind is weak. He is really ill. You are allowed to resign and return to your hometown to recuperate..." Luo Chen wanted to leave.

He had a heavy responsibility, but looking at the trembling body, he really couldn't bear the pain and wanted to kill him, so he gave Qian Jin some dignity.

"Thank you for your kindness, your majesty! Long live your majesty! Long live your majesty! The guilty minister is terminally ill and it is really difficult to shoulder the responsibility of Minister of the Ministry of War. Thank you for your kindness. May the glory of Jialuo be forever!" Qian Jin cried with joy and knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

, the body seems to have returned to its youthful state, and the back is straight.

"I heard that Qian Shangshu's youngest son supervises trivial matters in the Foreign Affairs Office. Remember to call him Qian Yixiong? Since Qian Shangshu proposed to issue the edict, Qian Yixiong will issue the edict himself. If this matter is completed, it will be a meritorious service!" Luo Chen's face softened.

After a while, he nodded.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to Qian Yixiong. It is really a blessing for him. I humbly take the position of a dog to thank His Majesty for his kindness!" Qian Jin was frightened in his heart, but on the outside he was smiling, as if he was crying with gratitude.

The ministers were trembling, with their necks and heads bowed, and none of them dared to take a breath. It was not until Luo Chen softened his tone and his face looked much better that the ministers stopped cowering like mice, and waited for Luo Chen to symbolically mention the finances.

The matter of taxes was discussed among the ministers. After a long time, Luo Chen excused himself as tired and left the hall under the service of the chamberlain. Then he retired. The ministers filed out of Yongyao Hall one after another, not daring to stay for a moment.

Qian Jin came last. He knew very well that returning to the mansion was the end of his life. Instead of being sentimental and struggling, he should think carefully about his children and grandchildren and figure out how to survive in the future. There was one thing that he never shared with others.

Tao, just because he spoke out, he would face the risk of implicating the entire clan, and he did not dare to slow down at this moment. In the last stage of his life, he wanted to seize the opportunity to tell his descendants the perfect strategy he had planned.

"It's really my fault for pushing you to the forefront, but after much thought, if one person must die, you are the only one who is the most suitable." A deep voice suddenly sounded from behind, pulling Qian Jin out of his thoughts and looking back.

Look, it's Wu Tianmou.

"It has nothing to do with you. I was the cause of it. The consequences will only come when the time comes." Qian Jin shook his head with a wry smile. Although he and Wu Tianmou had no grudges, they had always had different political opinions. Wu Tianmou was used to doing nothing, and everything happened.

The fortune and misfortune of the celestial phenomena are compared with each other, and although he is old, his mind is still the same as before, and he is still willing to raise troops to conquer and suppress bandits with military force. It seems that he is fighting for the country, but in fact he is greedy for military pay and profit from it.

"But it doesn't matter even if you die. As far as I know, Qian Shangshu privately bought more than a dozen courtyards and managed a lot of properties in the names of his aunts and uncles. I think he will not have to worry about making a living after his death, and it will benefit three generations.

That's enough." Wu Tianmou glanced at Qian Jin absentmindedly and smiled.

"Please be kind to Wu Shenxiang and let my family go. I will die alone without disturbing my family." Qian Jin responded calmly, but his eyes were as murderous as he stared at Wu Tianmou, as if he was about to fight back before his death.

His words were sincere, but his eyes were murderous.

"This matter is easy to handle. If your descendants all obey me and act according to my own will, not only will I not hold your family accountable, but I will also grant you property in various names, which will benefit three generations." Wu Tianmou disagreed.

He smacked his lips, gave an understatement of reminder, and struck the dying man in front of him.

"Are you serious?" Qian Jin's smile faded and his voice became much colder.

"Have I, Wu Tianmou, ever said anything false or done anything stupid?" Wu Tianmou sneered, as if he was a little annoyed by Qian Jin's question.

"In this case, I promise on behalf of my family that I will never disagree with Wu Shenxiang in the future, and follow Wu Shenxiang's lead." Qian Jin smiled, but his body had lost most of its strength, and he would die in this life.

Li's remonstrance was ultimately rebuking himself to death.

"That's nonsense. This world belongs to Emperor Jialuo. How can I be the one to take the lead? Be careful..." Wu Tianmou squinted his eyes, but he already understood, staggered his position, and strode forward with meteoric strides.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wu, and Qian will bear it in mind!" Qian Jin replied in a deep voice, trembling a little at the end of the words.

The sky was still sunny, but it had lost its color. Qian Jin returned to Qian's Mansion in despair, only to see a eunuch holding a golden edict in his hands, and beside him were three maids carrying a black square plate, on which were placed

A delicate jade vase, a piece of silk and a bladed dagger put a smile on the eunuch's lips, but the three maids felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died, or perhaps they were really moved by the scene.

"Shang Shu Qian, I'm here to congratulate you! Your Majesty heard that you were ill, Shangshu Qian, and ordered me to give you three choices. Of course the first choice is this jade bottle, the second is the dagger, and the last is this.

The finest silk."

"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Qian Jin said no more, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and bowed again and again to the edict in the eunuch's hand. He burst into tears, but he never cried out.

"The emperor was sympathetic to Qian Shangshu's frail health, and granted Qian Shangshu two hours to talk to his family. The old slave resigned." The eunuch stopped his smile and spoke word by word. In the end, he realized that the words were boring and no longer expected to gain anything.

Selfish, he took a deep look at the old man in front of him who was about to "die of illness", shook his head and left.

It was so glorious in the past twenty years, but now I feel that I am plagued by bad luck in making money, and I no longer have the energy and energy to make new breakthroughs.

The three maids placed the square plate and left with the eunuch. The huge Qian Mansion seemed to have felt its own fate. The fallen leaves were flying, the sound of running water was faint, and even the Nine-Turn Stone Bridge and the high pavilion in the center of the river pond were desolate.

It is obviously early spring, but it seems like frost has covered the wall.

"Father!" Qian Yixiong had noticed that Qian Jin had returned to his house, so he came at a trot in three steps and two steps at a time. He saw three things on the stone table. Knowing the consequences of going to court, he couldn't accept it for a while and actually wanted to watch it.

Do you want your father to die in front of you?

"Child, come here, I have something to tell you..." Qian Jin seemed to have exhausted all his strength, raising his hand to let Qian Yixiong come closer to him. Qian Yixiong hurriedly stepped forward and looked at his pale father, with wet eyes and liquid.

outflow.

"After decades of hard work, I have finally made some money for my family, and I have lived my life in vain. I don't have much warning for you. Your eldest brother and second brother are very smart, but they don't have great wisdom.

If you can see the immediate benefits, but if you are short-sighted and unable to see the future, your future fortune will not be very high."

"On the other hand, you may be able to make great achievements in the government and the public, but I would like to advise you that after completing the emperor's instructions, you should resign due to illness, return to your old home in Dien Chong Province, sell off all your land deeds and family property, and seek opportunities to enter the southern region.

Getting an official position is my greatest hope for you."

"Father, why did you teach me to devote myself to the Southern Territory? If I want to serve my country, shouldn't I continue to stay in Yongyao Capital and share the country's worries?" Qian Yixiong still has feelings for his family and country in his heart, even after knowing that his father died because of his advice.

Although he died, his thoughts of protecting his family and country were not shaken.

"The separation of the North and the South has become a foregone conclusion. Turbulence and killings are widespread in the Northern Territory. It is difficult to survive in the cold and bitter land. There will be countless disturbances in the future. If you join the Northern Territory, you will not be taken seriously. Instead, you will attract suspicion and risk your life.

; and the Southern Territory has passed the stage where everything is in need of development. Now it has a strong army and strong horses, and has sufficient productivity relying on its population. When food and clothing are no longer a problem that troubles the people, economic prosperity will be a new look. City-state planning and

Construction will become the top priority, and instead we will no longer recruit more troops, which will only increase the burden."

"The fall of the empire is a foregone conclusion. Instead of helping the country, it is better to seek happiness for the people. My father must die today. My death will allow you three brothers to survive, but this will not bring you a better future.

On the contrary, your three brothers will be neglected, the family property and land will be missed, and life will not be easy in the future."

"Your eldest brother is a headstrong man who cannot listen to the comfort of others. He is self-righteous and only knows right from wrong only when he gets into trouble. I really don't know how to protect him. I hope that after I die, he will learn to restrain himself and not be used as a tool by others...

…”

"Your second brother is afraid of social interaction, likes to be quiet and avoids troubles. He thinks a lot but doesn't take any action. He misses many good opportunities and doesn't know how to cherish them. He is often sad about spring and autumn. He likes to hang out with those classmates in the liberal arts school, but he doesn't like them.

Those people's writing style is so lofty and lofty. They comment on others but never put it into action. In the future, they will be affected by poetry and songs, and they will be manipulated by others. If they don't change, they will be persecuted and imprisoned in the future, and there will be no possibility of getting out of prison...

"

"On the contrary, it's you, Kazuo. I see the ambition to make progress in you. Among the three brothers, you are the most promising. However, you should consider the pros and cons before taking action, especially balancing the interests of all parties. This is the top priority.

Heavy."

"The emperor at that time did not value whether officials were incorruptible or corrupt. Unlike his father, Emperor Luo was not broad-minded. He only saw results. If the officials got things done, it would not matter. But if the officials did nothing, it would not matter.

If I fail, I will become a useless tool just like my father. To Luo Huang, my body is the final use value. This scene will eventually end, and it’s time for me to hit the road."

"No need, I have a Turtle Breath Pill that can keep you breathless for a month. After singing the play, I will dig you out of the grave, change your name and live in seclusion in the mountains, and you can live for more than ten years." Posthumous biography.

A hoarse voice came, and I saw a person pushing open the door and stepping over the threshold, holding a green pill in his hand.

"Five Emperors...Brother Yu, how can you come out, what if..." Qian Yixiong was shocked and hurriedly pushed Luo Yu into the door. However, he realized that he had the strength of the Spirit Lord Realm and wanted to push the Spirit Emperor Realm.

It is really difficult for Luo Yu to cultivate.

"Since Qian Shangshu has been given death, it is nothing more than death or immortality. Based on my understanding of my father, he is sadistic by nature and will definitely not have his spies to keep an eye on the house. On the contrary, after Qian Shangshu's death, there will be some

Tricky." Luo Yu didn't care. He put his hand on Qian Yixiong's shoulder and continued walking forward. There was no trace of nobility in his plain robe, but his heroic spirit could only be seen in his eyebrows.

"I have the intention, but unfortunately this Turtle Breath Pill is of no use to me. I have lived long enough, but I just want to die. If you insist on giving it to me, you should give it to my youngest son Kazuo..." Qian Jin smiled casually,

It seems that the person who is about to die is not him, which is extremely frivolous.

"That's the case, then I won't say more and thank Qian Shangshu for helping me escape and keeping me safe. From now on, I will do my best to protect the three brothers of the Qian family in return for Qian Shangshu's life-saving grace!" Luo Yu has already seen it!

Qian Jin had a death wish, perhaps because he was discouraged after years of admonitions had no effect, or because he was afraid of complications that would affect his family. In the end, he could not persuade someone who wanted to die, so he could only obey and promise.

"Thank you, but I am not selfless in saving the fifth prince's life. Your mother-in-law was once the person I admired, but it's a pity that fate has played a trick on me. I was called into the palace and selected as my concubine before I even mentioned my feelings to your mother-in-law.

.Although you are of the emperor's blood, in my heart, you are the son of an old friend. I also hope that you will be healthy and live a long life. It would be great if you were my child..."

"If Qian Shangshu has such a father who works hard for the country and cares about the country and the people, it is really a blessing for me, Luo Yu. If Qian Shangshu doesn't mind, I would like to call you Yafu. You can save me from water and fire, and we will be reborn with kindness!"

Luo Yu couldn't control himself when his emotions surged, and he knelt down and knelt down to express his feelings.

"Okay! Good! Good! I could only see your mother-in-law a few times from afar after she entered the palace. Unfortunately, she became ill and died when you were three years old. I was also disheartened and did not marry another woman.

The Thoughts of a Good Wife and Concubine. I’m afraid you can’t remember the appearance of your mother and concubine, but I once drew a portrait of your mother and concubine from memory when I was young. It’s on the innermost top of the library. You can take it.

Keep it as a thought to relieve the pain of lovesickness."

"Thank you for the painting from your father!" Luo Yu felt mixed emotions in his heart, sighing and lamenting, and sighed secretly.

"What are your plans for the future?" Qian Jin's eyes seemed to be brighter and his tone was much louder.

"I plan to leave now. After putting on a disguise, I will leave Yongyaodu and go to the neighboring provinces to find the Guanhai Sect. I plan to join it and start a career in the future."

"Guanhai Sect... is suitable for you to remain anonymous, but have you thought of a pseudonym?"

"The money will come."

"The money comes...it's good, but I still took my last name..."

"I didn't discuss this matter with my father. It was a decision I made privately, so don't be surprised." Luo Yu spoke sincerely, and his attitude seemed to be like a son treating his father.

"That's great! Go and get some soft clothes, and take away your mother's paintings too! Kazuo, go and help Qianlai prepare some dry food, and then find a slave outfit, and let Qianlai exchange it for it."

Come on, accompany the other slaves out of the house to do some shopping, and wait for an opportunity to leave!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it right now!" Qian Yixiong stopped being dumbfounded. Hearing his father's final instructions, he stopped crying and turned around to walk away.

After sending everyone away, he raised the jade bottle and uncorked it, pouring out the dark brown round pills. Countless images flashed through his mind. Finally, he gave himself an explanation, swallowed the pills into his mouth with a smile, and swallowed them down his throat.

After entering the internal organs, he fell directly backwards, stretched his limbs as much as possible, looked at the well-proportioned hanging beams on the top of the house, and secretly expressed his feelings.

"As an old man, I can be regarded as sacrificing my life for the country..."

Unfortunately, no one responded. His body twitched suddenly, and he gasped while shaking rapidly. His head dropped to the side, his eyes opened angrily, and he suffered great pain.

Qian Jin, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, chose the most honorable way to die and did not let anyone witness the process of his death. He used his own death as a certificate of surrender to give an explanation to the Jialuo Emperor Luochen and the entire family.

The next day, the whole city of Yongyao was in mourning. Qian Jin, the minister of the Ministry of War, was seriously ill and died without timely treatment. Luochen was so sad that he couldn't help himself. The ministers who complained about the disease said that the disease had subsided. The news spread like wildfire, and the people did not know the truth.

They all came to express their condolences in front of Qian's Mansion, and they all praised Qian Shangshu for his many efforts and achievements during his lifetime. Because Qian Jin committed suicide, he gained a good reputation after his death. This was the greatest grace bestowed upon him by Luo Chen.

If the king wants his minister to die, he must die. Qian Jin sacrifices one person's death in exchange for the whole family to survive. This seems to be the best result.

…

"Ouch……"

In Shimo Mountain, Qiao Bang was practicing the Wind-Flying Willow Kung Fu by himself. I don't know if he was absent-minded or stayed in the dark environment for too long. When he landed, he didn't use the two powers of Lingsha properly, and his feet were sprained.

Holding his ankle, Qiao Bang felt sore and numb. There was no one anywhere, only the sound of banging not far away. The pain came one after another. In the dark belly of the mountain, Qiao Bang felt helpless and weak.

Poor.

I don’t know where Lu Xulei and Hong Tianying went. They disappeared since the night before yesterday. They came back at least at night before, but they simply stopped coming back from the day before yesterday. They left themselves in this mountain. If it weren’t for the space storage spiritual weapon.

With spare dry food and water, Qiao Bang would drink water from the underground river.

Oh, it’s so uncomfortable...

Silently activate the chain of light, and do your best to inject the spiritual power of the light element into the injured ankle.

After staying in the mountains for several days, I felt a little uncomfortable. I really don’t know how Xu Ruoyun endured this long and lonely time...

Perhaps because you love forging so much, you have neglected other needs...

After a long time, the dull pain in his ankle stopped. Qiao Bang lay on the rugged mountainous ground and looked at the twinkling stars in the dark night through the gaps. He couldn't help himself for a long time.

Hey... forget it, why don't you just take a rest tonight... You've been practicing hard for a few days, why don't you give yourself a break?

With this thought in mind, Qiao Bang began to sit upright, looking up at the stars in a large font, enjoying the rare tranquility.

I don't know when Xu Ruoyun stopped forging, and I vaguely heard him shouting "It's done!" At first, Qiao Bang was curious, thinking that Bingling had made it, but when he got closer to take a look, he realized that it was just one of the small parts.

, I lost interest after going back and forth. No matter how much Xu Ruoyun called Qiao Bang later, I didn't go over to have a look. I really didn't understand and couldn't understand what made Xu Ruoyun excited.

"It's done! Jia Luo Sheng Yao's protective boots! It's both light and tough, and has the effect of maintaining the air for a certain period of time! It's finally done!"

Hearing Xu Ruoyun shouting, Qiao Bang became uneasy and actually made an artificial soldier spirit? But he didn't witness it with his own eyes?

No! I have to go and take a look!

With a thought in his mind, Qiao Bang ignored the dust on his body and started trotting with his ankles just right, approaching Xu Ruoyun quickly.
