Chapter 62 Picking Stars and Shooting the Moon

“But ……” Ji Wu Yu face shows a difficult color: “Although this king has the authority to mobilize the formation of the Curtain Heaven, can also mobilize part of the Divine Mechanic Sect …… can Xue Qingqiu is definitely not so good to deal with, even if you can’t scare the palace, Department Six is definitely not able to hide, once that little bitch and Xuanzhe bring people to rush, I’m afraid that everything is off.”

Pan Kouzhi smiled slightly, “What if Department Six doesn’t move tonight?”

Ji Wuyou suddenly alerted, “Could it be that Father …… then why didn’t he just order it and use Pan Hou to persuade me?”

Pan Kouzhi leisurely lightly clasped the armrests, “Whether Department Six will intervene is unknown for now, but I believe His Majesty will only be happy to see the fight between the righteous and the devil, whether the one who dies is Xue Qingqiu, or me. But this fight is limited to jianghu grudges, or personal grudges between King Yong and them, and it shouldn’t be the court personally coming down on …… King Yong to understand this meaning?”

Ji Wu Yu narrowed his small eyes, “So father had passed the gas with you guys earlier.”

Pan Kouzhi laughed, “If not for that, how could this seat have thought that your father would elevate the Devil Sect while secretly wanting Xue Qingqiu’s life? As a matter of fact, I still can’t figure out what benefit killing Xue Qingqiu would have for your father, he thought that if Xue Qingqiu died in the hands of the righteous, the Star Moon Sect would lean on the court? Even so, the Star Moon Sect in disarray would not be as useful as a single finger of Xue Qingqiu.”

Ji Wuyou sighed, “I can’t figure it out either.”

There were three types of people in the world that you could never guess with common sense. One is the emperor, whose mind is hard to guess; the second is the eunuch, who is mean and twisted; and the third is the psychopath, whose thoughts are completely unorganized.

And an emperor Ji Qingyuan …… who has not been able to make the capital, has repressed resentment for a lifetime, and has been unable to be humane He has all three items.

Whether it is Xue Mu or Pan Kouzhi, or his own son Ji Wuyou, even if Ji Qingyuan’s intention to guess 10,000 times over and over again, forced to brainstorm a variety of reasonable explanations, it is impossible to guess the real reason why he wanted to kill Xue Qingqiu.

Three years ago, Ji Qingyuan’s daily consideration was still how to check and balance the righteous path. Generally speaking, the Devil’s Sect was a sinful sect that tried to subvert the kingdom of heaven, and the successive emperors had never considered supporting the Devil’s Sect with such a crazy idea, including himself. But one day he was reminded of it, only the source with him and the noble consort of a casual conversation.

Noble Consort Liu simply said, “I heard that Xue Qingqiu bloodied the Cold River Sect and captured the Wannian County Son alive, and the various sects of the Righteous Dao were silenced, and surprisingly none of them stood up for the County Son.”

Liu Guifei congenital dantian depression, meridian blockage, is not able to practice martial arts, usually move sick in bed, this kind of woman is absolutely impossible to belong to any forces, and this sentence is also but ordinary jianghu anecdote, not surprising. It is such a weak woman casually a sentence, opened a door in the heart of Ji Qingyuan – the magic door is not clean, but in the thousands of years of adversity in the talent. Rather than worrying about the grudges of a thousand years ago, it is better to support the Devil’s Sect, and then provoke a war between the righteous and the devil, the more deaths on both sides, the better.

So he sent out his shadow guards around him, contacted Xue Qingqiu, secretly met with him, and expressed his willingness to support the Devil Sect.

Before this moment, he was still a far-sighted emperor.

But after meeting Xue Qingqiu, a new devil arose in his heart.

Xue Qingqiu was too beautiful, and that gaiety made it impossible for him to believe that this was a devilishly flaming devil. On the contrary, the combination of these two attributes multiplied her charm, especially in the eyes of an emperor, this was a woman very worthy of conquest, able to prove an emperor’s qualifications and charisma.

But he couldn’t be humane, he didn’t even have the qualifications to chase after her, even his thoughts could only be hidden in his heart and didn’t dare to express them for fear that expressing them would be laughed at by Xue Qingqiu.

If it was an ordinary woman, he could still forcefully incorporate her into the palace. Unfortunately, that was Xue Qingqiu, one of the strongest people in the world, maybe not even one, he couldn’t do it.

Every time he thought about this, his heart was like a million ants eating away at him, every day that passed, the more he hated, hated himself, hated the world, and hated Xue Qingqiu.

He would rather destroy her than have some man possibly get her in the future.

As an emperor, he still knew that the overall situation was important, the Star Moon Sect must be supported to check and balance the righteous path, he couldn’t kill Xue Qingqiu. Even if he tried his best to lay out a plan to kill her, it would inevitably lead to the Star Moon Sect becoming completely demonized, bringing fatal damage to his kingdom, he couldn’t gamble on it.

The best way was to set himself aside and provoke the righteous path to kill her. In this way, the Star Moon Sect would in turn have to rely on the court even more in order to take revenge, and the court might even be able to completely grasp this thousand year old sect as a result, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course this reason is insufficient. And regardless of whether the Star Moon Sect can be incorporated as you wish to grasp, even if you wish, without Xue Qingqiu, the righteousness of the road will also be more powerful and difficult to control, the significance of Xue Qingqiu is far less important than the check and balance of the righteousness of the road to keep Xue Qingqiu. But Ji Qingyuan must convince himself that killing Xue Qingqiu is useful, not because of perverted thoughts, really not, absolutely not!

The righteous path is also very happy to kill Xue Qingqiu, this point is not in doubt, but the problem is that the righteous path can’t kill Xue Qingqiu either, she is really too strong. There is only one chance …… when Xue Qingqiu arrived at the capital, under the effect of various formations ……

Xue Qingqiu seems to enter the capital once a year at irregular intervals. Unfortunately, it quickly left, and there was no opportunity for layout.

Until Xiahou Di caught Curry Night entering the capital, the opportunity suddenly came. Ji Qingyuan knew that Xue Qingqiu was bound to come to the capital, as long as Xiahou Di did not let go, this tug of war between them would take ten days and half a month. Such a long period of time, enough time for him to make enough arrangements, gather enough people to do this thing.

This was his only chance.

Xue Qingqiu couldn’t have dreamed that while she was still in Lingzhou without moving, this side had already secretly notified the righteous path to come to the capital and was ready to lay out a plan to kill her.

So Ji Qingyuan once hinted Xiahou Di, don t just let Curry Night, that is the source of chaos in the world Oh …… actually but to delay time, waiting for Zhengdao strong people to enter the capital. Unfortunately, he ultimately can not say explicitly, resulting in Xiahou Di did not comprehend his intentions, actually by that do not know where to come out of the Xue Mu talked about a business directly to Curry Night to release ……

Well …… have to admit that that Xue Mu’s publication cooperation is very creative, Ji Qingyuan really appreciate, to Xiahou Di released people also have nothing to say. If Xue Qingqiu died, Star Moon Sect really rely on the court, Ji Qingyuan felt that he should reuse this Xue Mu. Xiahou Di gave Xue Mu a gold medal, which he approved.

No matter how useful this Xue Mu was, that was an afterthought. This time the time became tight, Xue Qingqiu could leave at any time, even if there were still some important people located in remote places who had not yet had time to arrive, his plans had to be advanced.

Standing in the pavilion of the Imperial Flower Garden of the palace, Ji Qing Yuan raised his head to leisurely look at the evening sun in the sky, and faintly said, “I know that you have been guessing that there are people from the Star Moon Sect in the palace.”

Behind him stood an old eunuch who replied in a low voice, “Your Majesty has paid surprisingly much attention to the Star Moon Sect in recent years, and the old slave always felt that someone was trying to influence His Majesty’s thoughts.”

Ji Qing Yuan lost his smile and said, “Have you found out?”

The old eunuch sighed, “Perhaps the old slave was overthinking. After keeping an eye out for three years, there really is no suspicious person in the palace.”

“I know you are still suspicious of your consort …… your consort does often say good things about the Star and Moon Sect, but the woman adores Xue Qingqiu is unusual, Shu Fei does not also adore Mo Xuexin it, in recent years, there are still many twittering all day long in talking about Mu Jian Li, what is so rare?” Ji Qing Yuan shook his head and said: “also, today you do not have to worry. Hold my oracle to go to Department Six, and command that any movement in the capital tonight shall not be interfered with.”

“Old slave obey the decree.”

“Well …… this time there are still some people who can’t make it in time, I’m worried that it’s not enough insurance. You go to declare the decree after changing the civilian clothes, personally go to participate in this …… star picking and shooting the moon.”

chapter sixty-three – the mountain rain

Ohio time.

Department Six, Department of Publications, printing workshop.

Xiahou Di stood in the workshop to personally supervise the work, a motionless do not know how long to stand, looking at a carload of “Jianghu Xinxiu Spectrum” from the workshop transported out of the warehouse, she has always been solemn and slightly condensed depressed look has become a lot of light, the corners of the mouth always hangs with a bright smile.

“Chief Constable.” A painter came over and handed over a drawing, “My subordinate had seen Ice Fairy a few days ago, drawing from memory, Chief Constable see if there is any discrepancy?”

Xiahou Di took over and glanced at it, Zhu Chen Yao’s cool and proud face jumped onto the paper, even that flawless physique was outlined in seven or eight points. She pondered for a moment, nodded: “The charm has come out, a number of details this seat can not remember, in addition to that bastard who will stare at women all day ……”

Painter froze, can not pick up the mouth, pause for half a day before saying, “No one in the painting academy has seen the qin fairy, this can not be painted.”

Painter gulped, completely unaware of what this strange performance of the chief constable is the case, had to continue to ask stiffly: “The third ……”

“Which has what third!” Xiahou Di voice suddenly raised an octave.

The painter was stunned, “Uh? Didn’t the chief constable say before that Miss Xiao from Medicine King Valley?”

“Uh …… oh.” Xiahou Di awkwardly rubbed his face, “Maybe two days of sleeplessness, some distracted. She ah …… she can, I see the poor. You have not seen it send someone to draw, take my sign to …… go.”

The words did not fall, someone reported outside: “Chief constable, the palace fish eunuchs came to declare His Majesty’s oracle, Xuanhou let the subordinate down to invite you to go over.”

“Eunuch Fish?” Xiahou Di was stunned, his complexion cautious, striding out the door.

Eunuch Fish, Fish String, is His Majesty’s personal Grand Eunuch, he also has another identity, the first expert in the Grand Interior, a peak Cave Void powerhouse, and the greatest guarantor of His Majesty’s safety. This kind of character personally came to announce the decree, the significance is not trivial.

Before he could walk to the lobby, he could hear Xuan Zhe pressing his angry tone as he asked, “Eunuch Fish, is this the oracle of His Majesty?”

Xiahou Di slightly frowned, stepped into the lobby, saw a green-robed man standing upright in the center, leisurely answered: “Xuan Hou this intention, is it that I fish string false transmission of the imperial decree?”

Xuan Zhe didn’t give a damn about him, “This marquis is saying that you, a eunuch, are falsely transmitting an imperial decree!”

Xiahou Di sat down beside him and frowned: “What exactly is the oracle?”

Xuan Zhe smiled coldly and handed over the oracle: “It says that regardless of any movement in the capital tonight, Department Six is not allowed to intervene. How absurd!”

Xiahou Di’s first reaction was also a fake imperial decree, this is too fake: “Then what is the use of Department Six?”

Fish string leisurely said: “This is not old slaves know. The oracle is here, a thousand times true, if you have any confusion, you can go to the palace and ask the emperor.”

Xuanzhe laughed coldly: “At this moment, the palace door is closed, you are not the same as a fart?”

Fish string looked at Xiahou Di and smiled meaningfully, “Isn’t this someone who can enter the palace? Farewell.”

Look at the fish string leisurely left, Xiahou Di and Xuan Zhe face to face, in their hearts know that tonight there will be a big change. But the system within the trouble here, with the emperor’s oracle pressure, before confirming the evidence, they are in any case really can not move.

Xiahou Di paced back and forth a few steps, sighed: “If not necessary, I really do not want to enter the palace. Does Xuan Hou have any news?”

Xuan Zhe looked serious, whispered, “Today at shen time, the natural door Leng Zhu entered the capital. You know my relationship with them, they can’t hide their entry into the capital from me. But what about others? Just as we didn’t know that Xue Mu had entered the capital until Shadow Wing made his move to assassinate him, I suspect that those who entered the capital covertly probably have other strong people, we just didn’t get hold of the information.”

Xiahou Di’s eyes widened, “Leng Zhu are here? Cold Bamboo, Fish String, these two are both at the peak of Cave Void! Plus Mo Xuexin, Shadow Wing, Yuan Zhong …… If there are others …… this lineup could it be that they want to assassinate His Majesty?”

Xuan Zhe shook his head, “Impossible. We say that he falsely passes on an imperial decree, but incredibly this kind of absurd decree. In fact, you and I both know that if the fish string is really dissident, His Majesty is afraid that he has already …… why need to recruit outsiders into the capital?”

Xiahou Di thought for half a day, wondering to the extreme: “But if you say they came to round up someone else, it is only Xue Qingqiu worth these people so much fanfare, right? But who knows Xue Qingqiu’s behavior? A closed door is a day, are they going to force their way in? Curry Night’s formations aren’t something to look at and play with, how many casualties should there be from forcing their way in? It’s too unreasonable.”

The two giants looked at each other, both confused.

It was indeed impossible to guess when the intelligence was not equal.

A petite girl came up to serve tea, Xuan Zhe temporarily stopped his mouth, turned his head and smiled, “Is Xiao Ai still used to being here?”

Xiao Ai smiled sweetly, “Thanks to the chief constable and Xuan Hou care, everyone here is very good to me.”

Xiahou Di looked at her, there are a few doubts in her heart that this goods will not have problems, too long-sleeved and good at dancing, this day down almost everyone likes, everyone treats her as a sister to see, the general poor girl has this ability?

But Xuan Zhe’s face she is not good to casually fall, in addition also feel that if Xue Mu really want to insert nails in the Department of Six Sectors, he himself can rightfully do the priest, there is no need to do more than this……. Deep down inside, she also vaguely believes that even if Ai has a problem, the current situation allows her to go to Xue Mu to air out the situation is not a bad thing, so she laughed and said: “You are a subordinate of the Publications Division, this kind of subordinate thing doesn’t need to be done by you. The Publications Division is still busy today, so you’d better go help.”

“Yes.” Xiao Ai slowly retreated, turning around like a fly as soon as she left the door. What she heard just now was too odd, no matter how Xiahou Di Xuanzhe guessed, Xiao Ai felt that she had to report it to the Grand Master for finalization.

Xue Mu is practicing at the moment.

It’s not dual cultivation kung fu, it’s poison kung fu.

The busy thing is busy, the original Xue Qingqiu continue to stay in the capital really does not make sense, according to Xue Mu’s idea is really can go, whether it is the Department of Six Sectors cooperation or the cooperation of the Shadow Wing, since they will send people to the spirit of the state to talk about, not a problem. Just Xue Qingqiu said after dinner that there is something, drifting away, he can not help.

Must have gone to see her palace secret line, is also normal, come to the capital for a few days have not seen, before leaving certainly want to see a side.

Xue Mu also do not think that this out will be something, but he is this moment finally leisure up, can start practicing.

Even though he had some kung fu to build up his foundation, he actually still didn’t know the slightest thing about enemy tactics, which was very biased. While martial arts obviously couldn’t be practiced so quickly, only poison techniques had the possibility of quick success, so Xue Mu decided to practice at least one poison transportation technique within the next few hours.

After rummaging through the Record of Hundred Herbs, there were indeed a lot of poison techniques that could be used directly, the most direct one was to emanate the entangled hybrid poisonous qi that was entangled in the true qi, a means of eruption. How to emanate was also explained in great detail, and with the route map in place, it wasn’t difficult to practice.

And this is still a thousand kinds of mixed poisons, the solution can not be solved, the power is extraordinary, but unfortunately the poison is still not direct enough, the other side of the power to a certain extent can not be that death, can manage to force the poison, meet a stronger point can be directly resisted off ……

Thinking of that killer’s cartilage incense, Xue Mu felt quite interesting, all the way to poison a piece of people, this means is very good. Regrettably, his current power is still poor, the toxin absorption is not complete, if you want to explode like this, probably can only explode once and then deflate, it is considered to be a lose-lose situation.

Two defeats are two defeats, there is a means of preserving life is always good, first practiced it.

He held the book in his left hand and spread his right hand towards the sky, trying to run the power transportation method in the book. Dark green true qi from the dantian slowly to the arm meridian collection, you can almost see the arm faintly emit green light, then green light want to rush out of the palm, “suddenly”, failed.

Xue Mu is not discouraged, and then the quick stuff also need to exercise familiar, control as if the arm to be able to do it, this is the natural and natural.

I don’t know how many times I tested it over and over again, but a faint green cloud slowly appeared in my palm.

The green cloud quickly dissipated. Xue Mu shook his head and continued to try.

After an unknown number of more attempts, the green cloud finally coalesced and grew thicker and thicker.

It was at this moment that Meng Lan hurriedly barged in with Xiao Ai: “Gongzi, Xiao Ai said that she has something important to report.”
