I am a snake, so it is reasonable for me to teach a group of demons.

The 18th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Outside the Xu family residence on Yashi Street in Qixia Prefecture.

Zhao Xuaner, wearing a green skirt and tall and graceful figure, looked at the white sky and murmured,"Master, the scorching sun has not been seen for most of the month."

"When will the snow fall?"

Luo Xinghe, who was wearing a purple-gold Taoist robe, whispered,"When the murderous aura is at its strongest~"

"By the way, Master."

Zhao Xuan'er asked curiously,"You ordered the Weidu Wu Pavilion to invite almost all the martial artists in the Wei Kingdom to gather at Qixia Mansion."

"Promise to reward the person who kills Cang Xue with 10,000 gold and make him a marquis"

"But Master, have you ever thought that there is only one Cang Xue, and there can only be one person who kills Cang Xue?"

Zhao Xuan'er asked after choosing her words:"Master, how are you going to distribute the hatred that the young man in white had after killing Cang Xue from one person to tens of thousands of warriors in the entire martial arts world of Wei State?"

"Simple."

Luo Xinghe smiled and said,"Stab the girl's body with a sword, chop the girl's body with a knife, even if you spit, you can get a hundred taels of snowflake silver."

"Life is fragile, a single blow can kill, but a corpse will not"

"All the warriors will chop the girl's flesh into mud and grind her bones into powder."

Looking at his apprentice's slightly frowned eyebrows, Luo Xinghe changed the subject and said,"Xuan'er, do you think those martial artists are fools?"

Zhao Xuan'er shook her head,"No."

Luo Xinghe:"Master summoned the entire martial arts world to kill Cang Xue, and the girl is only at the fifth level of the outer training realm. Why use thousands of butcher knives to kill a chicken?"

"Since those warriors are not fools, they will definitely notice something strange at first glance."

"After a little thought, we can guess whether there is a great master behind the girl."

"But all the warriors finally came to Qixia Mansion. Do you know why?"

Zhao Xuan'er said without hesitation:"It's just like the law does not punish the masses."

"If one person kills the emperor's son or the prince, the entire clan will be implicated"

"If ten, one hundred, or one thousand people kill the emperor's son or the prince, their entire clan will be implicated."

"But what about hundreds of thousands of people? Millions?"

"A Yin immortal or Yang god can defeat a city alone, while a land immortal can defeat a country alone"

"But there are so many land immortals in Xiangang Continent, and no one dares to truly destroy the country."

"When Qi Qingji opened the sky with his sword, he only broke the face of the Wei State, and never killed a single person."

"Because the law does not punish the masses, because there are ostentatious people in the world"

"Can……"

Zhao Xuan'er pondered for a moment and continued,"But these warriors don't know that they are doomed to die."

"That young man in white could not only annihilate hundreds of thousands of people in a county for the sake of his first disciple, but also go against the will of heaven and destroy the destiny of a country."

"He can kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions for his second disciple."

Luo Xinghe gave the girl a thumbs up and praised her sincerely,"My daughter Xuan'er has a very smart mind." A creaking sound suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of the master and disciple.

The side door of the Xu family mansion opened a crack, and two servants carried a corpse with a bloody face and walked out of Yashi Street.

Perhaps because they often ate the corpses of the Xu family, a dozen hungry wild dogs had already gathered at the entrance of Yashi Street, smelling the blood.

"" Creaky~"

The main door of the Xu family mansion slowly opened.

The Qixia prefect, dressed in brocade and with white hair on his temples, hurriedly ran to Luo Xinghe. With a respectful attitude, he bowed and clasped his fists and said,"Your humble servant Xu Lianzhi, I didn't know that the state teacher was coming. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you."

……

A quarter of an hour later.

In the hall that still lingered a faint smell of blood, Xu Lianzhi looked at Luo Xinghe, who had a calm expression and was sipping fragrant tea.

He murmured in his heart: 'A show of power... seems useless~'

Xu Lianzhi had never seen Luo Xinghe.

The prefect of Qixia had only heard that this national teacher had tried to reform the law during the reign of the previous emperor, which affected the interests of the gentry and failed miserably.

Not only was he regarded as a thorn in the eyes and flesh by the civil and military officials and other dignitaries, but his power as national teacher was also taken away by the new emperor Fu Ling.

Because of this, Xu Lianzhi dared to let the servants carry the body of the man called Liang Yue out through the side door in front of the old Taoist priest.

"I wonder what the Imperial Master wants to do for you?"

Xu Lianzhi asked softly.

"Two things."

Luo Xinghe put down his teacup and said,"Today is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. From tomorrow on, the entire Qixia Prefecture will be under martial law."

"Except for entertainment places such as inns, brothels, and gambling houses, other shops are not allowed to open for business."

"Especially the common people, strictly prohibited from going out on the streets."

Xu Lianzhi was slightly startled.

"this……"

"My Lord Imperial Master, it is very difficult for me to handle this matter.……"

Luo Xinghe said expressionlessly:"Although I have lost my power, I am still the State Master of Wei."

"When we return to Weidu, I will say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty."

Xu Lianzhi sat upright,"The order of the Imperial Master is the order of His Majesty, and it is the will of heaven. I will do my best to fulfill it."

Luo Xinghe smiled calmly.

Zhao Xuan'er's face was full of disgust.

""Hey, Imperial Master, what about the second thing?"

Xu Lianzhi asked.

……

It was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The sky was grey and the wind was cold.

In the huge Qixia Prefecture, the streets were long and deserted.

On Yuchan Street, a thin boy in coarse linen clothes held a stick in his right hand and an iron sword on his left waist.

In the boy's sight, he could not see the sky, the mountains and rivers, or the myriad things, but only the white emptiness.

The sound of communication gradually became noisy and clamorous.

The boy groped his way to the eaves of a teahouse to take shelter from the wind.

""Hey, Chuyi!"

A surprised voice came from the teahouse.

The young man listened attentively and said uncertainly:"Brother Ji Yang?"

"New Year's student, come in quickly and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

The young man was surprised:"Grandpa Wang Liang?"

……

Fumbling to pick up the teacup, the young man took a sip.

The warm tea flowed through his throat into his stomach, and his stiff body immediately felt warm.

The man with two rough hands peeling the peanut shells said rather embarrassedly:"Chuyi, let me introduce myself again. My name is not Chuyang, but Qin Feng."

The old man who was eating pumpkin seeds chuckled and said:"Chuyi, young man, let me introduce myself again. My grandpa is not Wang Liang, but Gu Shucheng."

The young man:"Brother Qin Feng, Grandpa Gu Shucheng, let me introduce myself again. My name is not Chuer, but Chuyi."

The man stuffed the peeled peanuts into the young man's hands.

"Chuyi, big brother will be generous to you for lunch. You can have pickled cabbage and shredded pork noodles without meat. You can add more soup as you like."

The old man smiled obscenely,"Chuyi, wait till night, grandpa will take you to the brothel to spy on the courtesan bathing."

Chuyi:"Grandpa Gu, I'm blind."

The old man:"Then grandpa will steal the courtesan's bellyband for you."

Chuyi was puzzled:"Why do I need the bellyband?"

The old man grinned:"To clean my gun"

……

The 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

There is no moon or stars.

"Ding ding ding~"

"The weather is dry, be careful with fire."

In a wing room of the second courtyard of Liushuang Street, Zhao Xuan'er, who was lying on the wooden bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
