Chapter 87 – Mind Tricks
The Acacia Double Envoy Lu Shutong was captured alive by Department Six, castrated halfway, abolished his martial arts skills, and was shackled in front of the door of Department Six for public display. When the news came out, it was like an earthquake, instantly spreading throughout the capital, and then spreading to the entire world with terrifying efficiency.
The sensation caused by it, than Xue Qingqiu from the six holes in the siege to break the game more eye-catching, because Xue Qingqiu that battle most other people do not know, only know that there is an explosion in the west of the city, the participants in the battle of the strongest people can not possibly say out, know the inside story of a number of people are also silent. And Lu Shutong case is a living yoke in front of the world, the deterrent effect is unparalleled.
Department six, that night there are countless large and small clans and families of the door to pay a visit to Xiahou Di, sent gifts piled up in the side hall.
Xiahou Di sent most of the night to send these flies away, looking at the wide range of gifts, I do not know should be satisfied or should be a sigh.
The onlookers only saw Department Six in this endless scenery, she herself was also excited before, but after calming down, but the more she thought about it, the more chills ran through her body.
Xue Mu has already made a request through the court emissary Eunuch Li, demanding some heavenly treasures is still a small matter, this knighthood proposal is politically far-sighted, enough to make the Star Moon Sect undergo a heavenly change, and even be able to affect the overall situation of the righteous and devilish paths, and the world’s current situation has extremely far-reaching impact.
Under normal circumstances, this is not possible. The devil’s remaining sins, to give you an idle post are considered heaven’s grace, without merit, let the court think how?
But the current situation, the father is with the Star and Moon Sect peace talks, she understands the father this person, killing the decisive appearance under the cover of extreme selfishness and cowardice, and now afraid of the Star and Moon Sect a clap two apart to stir up a big basket, there will certainly be a great concessions. As long as the requirements are not too unbearable, the possibility of acceptance is very high.
The emperor’s hurdle was good, but it was hard to say in the court. Xue Mu needed a feat that would leave people speechless, so the feat came.
Without expending a single soldier of his own, lending her Department Six’s hand, eradicating Lu Shutong was both removing a strong enemy and a great merit.
She Xiahou Di will not refuse this cooperation, because Department Six needs this heavy merit too much to make the world famous, this is a naked win-win situation, Department Six benefit is great, but Xue Mu also completed all his calculations needs.
In the pen to write the first word of that little yellow article from …… not right, afraid of the day of the incident said to her “array plate belongs to me” from the moment, perhaps this layout has sprouted in his heart.
Who all thought he wrote this little yellow paper is revenge Department Six, plus the end of the meaning of advertising to the Star and Moon Sect, one arrow double carve is also remarkable, but never thought that earlier he has already hidden a deeper bureau?
When she thought about it, it was really scary, a person like Xue Mu, with the full support of the Star Moon Sect, if she continued to give him time and space, she really didn’t know what kind of shocking waves he would set off.
But now she couldn’t even raise the thought of restricting Xue Mu for a bit. Shame, gratitude, appreciation, admiration, scorn, caution, and even a hint of shame, she didn’t know what kind of tone she should use the next time she saw Xue Mu.
Right …… She suddenly had a flash of light. Xue Mu wanted to ask for a title for the Star Moon Sect, and he needed the court to register …… Then how about stuffing him with an official hat at the same time?
She is not the first time she wants to pull Xue Mu into the court, this time the idea together is unable to hold back, Xiahou Di regardless of the eye has been the night, once again wind and fire rushed to the palace.
Seeing a red dress from afar, the palace gate guards all shrunk, not even a questioning, obediently opened the door.
Ji Qing Yuan was in the imperial study, looking at the long list of lists handed up by Eunuch Li, his cheeks twitching with heartache: “This Xue Mu is really a lion’s share of the money!”
Eunuch Li respectfully hung his head and said, “Demon sect demons, momentary forgetfulness can happen. With some bargaining, it should be possible to reduce some.”
“Then I’ll leave it to the General Manager.” Ji Qingyuan obviously wasn’t too concerned either, rubbing his head tiredly, “Useless thing, he still refuses to make a move?”
“It is conceivable that he has a grudge in his heart and is unwilling to save King Yong’s life.” Eunuch Li respectfully said, “The old slave thought that if he really gave Star Moon Zong a title, when the time comes for him to save King Yong, he is afraid that he will not be able to shirk.”
“Fair enough.” Ji Qingyuan nodded and said, “In fact, the idea of knighting the Star Moon Sect, I have had this thought a long time ago, so that it can truly create a check and balance on the righteous path. Xue Mu mentioned it this time, but it is considered to have thought of it together with me.”
Eunuch Li heart contempt, afraid to say clearly, but also to their own face gold, really do not know shame.
At this time, outside the door eunuch through Bing: “Your Majesty, Xiahou Chief Constable seeks to see.”
“Let her come in, this matter also just need to see her opinion.”
Xiahou Di strides inside, arching her hand in a salute, appearing not very respectful: “See your majesty.”
Ji Qing Yuan also does not care about her rudeness, smiled: “Today captured Lv Shutong, Department Six shook the world, Di’s work.”
Xiahou Di didn’t make any statement on the name “Di’er”, but only said, “This is Department Six’s job. I just don’t know if it is against His Majesty’s plan to support the Devil’s Sect.”
Really afraid of this, she would have come to ask for instructions, this time to put the horse after the gun is obviously only for the sake of the first cut. Ji Qing Yuan also does not care: “No harm, the devil’s door really worth a high look is not much, die a Lu Shutong, on the whole pattern is not much impact. Furthermore, the Acacia Sect are all ruthless people, not to mention that they won’t make a big fuss over Lu Shutong. The chief constable this target choice is very good ……”
Changed the “chief constable” such a title …… Xiahou Di in turn more natural, coloring: “This is Xue Mu’s suggestion.”
Ji Qingyuan sighed: “He is also for himself. Recruiting and granting a title is unusual, however, the situation of the Star Moon Sect is not even considered recruiting, so this granting of a title is difficult to convince the public. But with this merit as a base, it will add eight points of certainty.”
Xiahou Di decisively said: “The dynasty field mediocre generation, care about them for what! Even if there is no such merit, it should also be awarded a title. This is the only way to appease the Star Moon Sect, otherwise Xue Mu’s anger will be hard to quell, sooner or later there will be trouble.”
Ji Qing Yuan was a bit surprised: “Chief Constable is really so jealous of Xue Mu?”
Xiahou Di did not answer, acquiescing to this point.
Ji Qingyuan said, “A district Qi Hai stage poisonous person …… Since you are scrupulous, seek an opportunity to kill it.”
Xiahou Di and Eunuch Li changed color at the same time, “No!”
Giving Eunuch Li a strange look, Xiahou Di didn’t have the heart to think too much and said urgently, “If we kill Xue Mu right now, no matter if we set up any clues, Xue Qingqiu will only settle the score on the court! Could it be that Your Majesty wants to ambush Xue Qingqiu once more?”
Ji Qingyuan sighed, “Can only ambush?”
Xiahou Di firmly said, “Only caress. I suggest that not only do I give the Star Moon Patriarch a title, but I also give Xue Mu a position. Xue Mu is a person who remembers kindness and is not a devil. If he can be treated sincerely and kindly, he will be rewarded in the future.”
This time, it was Eunuch Li’s turn to look at her strangely, secretly saying that this princess’s understanding of Xue Mu was a bit beyond the ordinary. If one really treats Xue Mu well, a person like Xue Mu will really remember the favor and will be rewarded sooner or later. Xiahou Di saw correctly that this was the best strategy to deal with Xue Mu.
Ji Qingyuan tapped his fingers on the case table for a while, and suddenly smiled, “Then …… even the knighthood is sealed to Xue Mu.”
Xiahou Di didn’t react for a moment, “What is the meaning of this?”
Ji Qingyuan revealed a mocking smile, “Xue Mu’s current authority in the Star Moon Sect comes from Xue Qingqiu’s trust and decentralization, once he is in an official position with a court title and Xue Qingqiu does not have …… the relationship between the two may also be subtle, and is not enough to be feared.”
Eunuch Li froze for half a day, also revealed a mocking smile, mocking who, no one knows.
Xiahou Di only felt a wave of fatigue welling up in her heart. At this time, still playing with the emperor s mind, still playing political tricks ……
Theoretically, this idea of Ji Qingyuan might make sense. Not to mention just fake siblings, even if they were husband and wife, this kind of provocation would often be very effective. Once these two had a disagreement and the king’s phase was at odds, the Star Moon Sect would not be enough of a problem.
However, Xiahou Di still felt that Xue Qingqiu’s grandeur and Xue Mu’s heart was like a clear mirror, and that this seemingly plausible strategy might be pointless when used on those two. Originally is clearly a can draw Xue Mu’s official position, born to play the opposite effect, he will not remember this favor, but will hate the court more.
She opened her mouth to persuade him, but Ji Qingyuan waved his hand, “It’s settled. Xue Mu’s position will be the Lord of Spirit State City, I’m eager to see the expression of the entire Devil Sect at that time.”
Xiahou Di helplessly closed her eyes.
Ji Qing Yuan pondered for another moment, “For the time being, we can only grant a third class baronetcy, do you have any suggestions for the title?”
Xiahou Di was disheartened and said, “Let your majesty decide.”
Eunuch Li also horse’s ass: “Your Majesty’s opinion is ten times better than the old slaves, the old slaves can have what suggestions ……”
“Heh ……” Ji Qingyuan was very satisfied knocking on the desk musing, “Lone Tong Yuan …… Phoenix Qiuwu. Star Moon Sect is also a Phoenix Rising this time. Xue Mu’s title will be set as …… Phoenix Man, how about it?”
