He Zhen was trembling with shock, and Bai Zhenshan was not at peace in his heart. What a Xu Yaoting, he is young, his behavior is more sophisticated and vicious than those ministers who have been tempered in officialdom for a long time, and his thinking is so thorough, one after another, not to mention He Zhen, even he has been tricked. With.
"Xu Yaoting, even if Zhou Tai committed a huge crime, what qualifications do you have to kill him?" He Zhen still loved and valued Zhou Tai very much. At this time, Zhou Tai died tragically, and He Zhen couldn't care about that anymore, blushing He yelled at Wandong.
Wandong calmly smiled and said, "The emperor has made me a Young Marquis, and Zhou Tai is just a small general. Seeing that he has done evil and violated the laws of the empire, as a Marquis, I have no respect for him." He is a small general, so he naturally has the power to do whatever he wants!"
"Why do you do evil and disregard the laws of the empire? This is just your words!"
"A one-sided statement? Huh! Okay, Mr. He can go out and ask around to see what kind of thing your good nephew is! See if I have wronged him!"
"you… "
He Zhen was immediately speechless. As an uncle, he knows better than anyone what Zhou Tai is. If I really go to inquire, no one will say anything nice for Zhou Tai, and maybe countless dirty water will be thrown at He Zhen. He Zhen would only do this unless his brain was caught in the door.
"That's all! Since Zhou Tai deserves to die, just kill him. Lord He, just now you vowed to kill your relatives out of justice. Why, now that you really see your nephew's head, you can't bear to part with him?"
In this confrontation, He Zhen was completely defeated. Bai Zhenshan didn't want him to continue to 'mess around' any more. This would only show He Zhen's weakness and powerlessness when facing the Xu family, thus further weakening his prestige and power.
"But..." He Zhen was still a little unwilling, and he opened his mouth to argue, but was stared back by Bai Zhenshan's sharp and majestic gaze.
With a slight snort as a warning to He Zhen, Bai Zhenshan immediately looked up at Wandong and said with a smile, "Yao Ting, you did a good job in this matter! Black sheep like this should have been eliminated a long time ago. But , If you encounter something like this in the future, you can't do it purely out of anger. Otherwise, even if you do something evil, you won't get the approval of others, but will generate a lot of gossip. "
Bai Zhenshan gave Wandong a gentle but gentle blow, not only to dampen Wandong's arrogance, but also to let the ministers understand that Bai Zhenshan still cares about He Zhen, and you should move closer to He Zhen. Only when He Zhen becomes more powerful can he be able to better check and balance the Xu family in the future.
The reason why Wandong wanted to send Zhou Tai's head to the palace and let Bai Zhenshan see it was to put everything out there and tell you He Zhen plainly that I killed your nephew. Even the emperor said He deserves to die, and you can't blame me. This matter has come to an end. If you use this matter as a reason to retaliate against me in the future, then you are really unreasonable.
Wandong's move can be said to be a once and for all solution, which is very clever! Hu Jingqi and Xu Wenchuan looked at each other and nodded, highly approving of Wandong's handling of the matter.
Bai Zhenshan is indeed a diligent and wise king. After recovering from the illness, he had to convene ministers every day and discuss matters all night long. From the Qingyun Empire to the entire Dongxuan Continent, from people's livelihood to the empire's strategy, all kinds of big and small matters were included, and even Xu Wenchuan felt a little tired.
Although Wandong does not have to participate in politics, his life is very fulfilling. Every day, they not only have to practice Xuantian's Divine Enlightenment Art, but also take time to give guidance to Leng Shuangrong's ancestors and grandsons in their cultivation. These three ancestors and grandsons have taken advantage of Jinshui Tower, pestering Wandong every day to practice. To be serious can be described as rapid progress.
Especially Leng Yongsi, who is very talented. In just a few days, he relied on the magic of the Spirit Seal to raise his cultivation level to the peak of the eighth level of Qi. Soon he would reach the ninth level of Qi, which was more than one step faster than Wang Yangde's progress.
Although Leng Yuecui also performed well, she was much worse than Leng Yongsi. This is not only because Leng Yuecui's talent and qualifications are slightly inferior to Leng Yongsi, but also because most of this girl's thoughts are not on cultivation, but on Wandong, which makes Wandong scratch his head. .
In addition to these two things, Wandong's promise to make swords for everyone will also continue.
A few days ago, Wan Dong used a whole box of purple gold to cast a purple gold dragon gun for Wan Haoxiong. He was very satisfied with it, and he thought in his heart that he could also cast a pair for Wan Youqi that was not inferior to Wan Haoxiong. The Purple Gold Short Sword of the Purple Gold Dragon Spear.
Wan Dong knows best about his aunt. She is beautiful, she is also very obsessed with exquisite and beautiful things, and she has a little bit of a temperament to pursue perfection in everything. Therefore, the knife made for her must not only be durable and powerful, but also beautiful and delicate. Wandong pays great attention to the style of the knife, the pattern decoration on the blade, and even the handle, striving for perfection.
In this way, the time and energy Wan Dong spent on building the double swords for Wan Youqi actually exceeded the time and energy he spent on building the purple and gold dragon gun for Wan Haoxiong. However, after spending so much effort, the final work is truly extraordinary and well worth the money! Compared with the domineering and mighty Zijin Dragon Spear, it may be slightly inferior, but its dexterity and sharpness are superior. And its exquisiteness and exquisiteness are unparalleled. Wan Dong will never forget the indescribable look of amazement Leng Yuecui showed when he saw the two swords for the first time. If she hadn't been good at using swords and had never been exposed to weapons like knives, she wouldn't have cared about who Wandong's swords were made for, and she would have snatched them away long ago.
It took several days to cast Wan Youqi's double swords, and Wan Dong was in a very good mood. But at the dinner table, Wandong found that Xu Wenchuan's face was a little unattractive, and he seemed to be troubled by something.
As a competent grandson, he naturally has to find ways to share his worries for his grandfather. After filling up the empty wine glass in front of Xu Wenchuan, Wan Dong opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa, is there anything bothering you?"
Xu Wenchuan glanced at Wandong and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile and said, "Grandpa is a little envious of you now."
"Envy me?" Wandong was slightly startled, his face full of confusion.
"Yes! You are so smart. You enjoy the generous treatment of the Young Marquis without having to participate in politics. You are full of civil and military officials. I am not the only one who envy you."
After hearing this, Wan Dong shook his head and said with a bitter expression, "Grandpa, you know that I have no choice but to do this, so why bother making fun of your grandson again?"
"That's right! Dad, people outside say that our family, Yaoting, only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and has no future. He has been wronged enough. It's really too much for you to ridicule him." Ning Shan is extremely precious to this son now. , He will never be allowed to suffer the slightest injustice, not even Xu Wenchuan.
"What's the sarcasm? I'm sincere, okay? Sometimes, I really wish I could leave everything behind, return to the mountains, and fish all day long. How leisurely it would be. Hey!"
Seeing that Xu Wenchuan was in a bad mood, Wandong asked with concern, "What's wrong, grandpa? Is the emperor deliberately targeting our Xu family again? If so, grandpa, you don't have to worry. In this kind of day, at most Lasts for one year.”
Xu Wenchuan was about to shake his head in denial, but after hearing the second half of Wandong's words, he suddenly looked stunned and asked, "At most, it will last for one year? What do you mean?"
At this time, there were only three members of his family around the dining table, and Leng Shuangrong's grandfather and grandson were not present. After retreating from the surrounding servants and maids, and making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Wan Dong said to Xu Wenchuan seriously, "Grandpa, I will tell you a shocking secret today. You must not tell anyone else."
Wandong's solemn look was so rare that Xu Wenchuan couldn't help but be surprised. He felt a little nervous and asked, "What's the secret?"
Wan Dong frowned slightly and whispered, "The emperor will not live until today next year!"
"What!? Yaoting, you don't want to kill the king, do you?" As soon as Wandong finished speaking, Xu Wenchuan jumped up as if someone had stabbed him in the butt, with a stern look on his face. Chong Wandong asked in a low voice.
Wan Dong couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Grandpa, where are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?"
Xu Wenchuan thought about it and asked hurriedly: "Then why do you say that the emperor will not live for more than a year?"
Wan Dong sighed softly and said, "Maybe this is fate. The root cause of the emperor's illness for several years is an unusually domineering and extremely evil mysterious force that exists in his body. This force is eating away at him all the time. The emperor's vitality. Although I eliminated this mysterious power, I can't repair the emperor's loss of vitality. Maybe in the final analysis, my cultivation is not enough. "
"How could this happen?" Xu Wenchuan was shocked after hearing Wandong's words.
This vitality of life is different from true qi and Tao qi. It is a qi that is innately developed by each person and is directly connected to a person's longevity. Both true qi and Tao qi will be gained and strengthened during cultivation, but this vitality of life cannot be obtained through cultivation. Or perhaps, this life energy can also be cultivated, but humans have never mastered this method. Therefore, extending life has always been a beautiful vision of people, but no one can actually achieve it.
Wandong shook his head, speechless. With his current level of cultivation, there is simply no way he can restore Bai Zhenshan's lost vitality.
"What is the origin of that mysterious power in the Emperor's body? How can it be so terrifying that it can swallow up a person's life force?"
Wandong shook his head again, this was what he wanted to know most. Wandong originally wanted to absorb this mysterious power from Bai Zhenshan's body into his own body, and keep it temporarily for detailed study in the future. However, when he actually introduced this mysterious power into his body, he discovered that this A mysterious force can even swallow his life force. Surprised, Wandong immediately used Tao Qi to completely refine it, which actually improved Wandong's cultivation level a lot. (To be continued)
