His Majesty And Ministers CH 15 Prince Yun’s Sickness

Nearly noon, all the officials timidly withdrew from Taihe Hall, and the several big officials in charge of the cabinet all gathered around the Prime Minister of the Right, Lord Qin.

“Prime Minister Qin, we never even heard a sound about those memorials from the local officials in His Majesty’s hands…”

“…That’s right, all the memorials that should be sent to the imperial study have to be reviewed by the cabinet first…”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Say, just what has…”

“Enough, my lords.” Qin Youxiang walked unsteadily, but his tone was even and steady, “It is no longer what it used to be, and His Majesty’s thoughts are unpredictable. You all perform and fulfill your duties and you will be able to keep your official uniform and guarantee the safety of your wife and children, as for the rest…it is useless to say any more.”

This official talk was so impeccable that though the officials wanted to ask more, they didn’t even know where to start and could only shut up sheepishly.

Qin Youxiang didn’t look at these people either, he just continued to walk forward slowly.

Jing Ye looked up at the sky that was about to fall into the night, the clouds were surging, and the sky was colored in red and orange.

“Ye Mao.” He looked around.

Ye Gonggong stepped forward: “Ai, Your Majesty.”

“It’s already this hour, why haven’t they arrived yet.”

“This…” Ye Gonggong also did not know, “Perhaps they are held up by something. Your Majesty, shall we still wait?”

“En.”

The two of them just stood still on the grassy spot of ground, and the palace servants who accompanied them were sent away to prevent the two children from being nervous.

The sky was getting darker little by little, and the gorgeous sunset sky gradually faded into the long night.

Ye Mao beckoned the palace servants to bring the palace lanterns, and with a lantern he stepped forward and said softly, “Your Majesty, it’s getting late, let’s go back to the palace.”

Jing Ye’s eyebrows twitched and he raised his head to look at the darkness in the distance: “…Fine.”

He raised the hand that had been hidden in his long sleeve, revealing an exquisite and colorful toy drum in his hand. When he shook it hard, it would make a “dong dong” sound. If little Jing Yun saw it, he would definitely clap his chubby paws in delight.

The soft light from the gauze palace lantern reflected on Jing Ye’s lonely profile, highlighting his expression of helplessness.

Before he came here, he had both parents and a successful career. Unfortunately, he could not have a child of his own. He also thought that if he was a heterosexual man, liked beautiful and gentle girls, and married a virtuous girl, then he would surely be envied by many people.

Unfortunately, assumptions can never hold.

Just like he couldn’t even imagine himself in the past now.

“…Your Majesty?” Ye Mao called cautiously beside him.

“En.” Jing Ye came back to his senses, paused, turned around and began walking back, “Let’s go back to the palace.”

“Ai.”

Zhao Manor.

Zhao Mingde leaned on the small table by the couch, raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, “He actually dismissed Tang and Yin’s official status?”

Sitting in front of him was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar: “Yes.”

Zhao Mingde thought for a while, then raised his head and said, “The emperor doing this, is this a provocation?”

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said, “But Tang and Yin are unaware of the incident. In the past, the two of them only dealt with some court affairs that involved money but little power, yet the emperor inexplicably sent them to the southwest, and as a result, the money was robbed halfway through, and they were so scared that their souls practically fled their bodies, fearing of losing their life because of their failure in supervision. It was only after being persuaded by the people we sent, did they send a fake report that everything went smoothly.”

Zhao Mingde frowned.

“…I’m afraid that it was really someone who was lucky enough to pass their memorial to the emperor, and the emperor learned that the money was taken.” The middle-aged man shook his head, “As for who put the memorial in front of the emperor, in my opinion, it is no doubt the Prime Minister of the Right.”

“Is that so…”

Zhao Mingde didn’t continue. It wasn’t until a long time passed that he nodded as if he was truly convinced.

Jing Ye waited by the lake for the second time until it got dark.

Ye Mao looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, stepped forward and bowed: “Your Majesty, it’s time to return to the palace.”

“En.” Jing Ye guessed that this would be the result, but he still waited until this time.

“Go back to the palace.”

His Majesty the Emperor walked ahead with his head down. Ye Gonggong looked at his back from behind, and only felt a strong feeling of the bleak autumn wind being emitted.

On this side, Xiaoyi Pavilion was not so peaceful anymore.

Whe little Jing Yun found out that he was not being carried to see his “susu” the night before, he instantly opened his mouth and wailed. It was an hour of being held by his older brother and coaxed and kissed before his wailing stopped.

But who knew that the next day! It! Was! Still! The! Same!

So the little bun’s face really bulged into a bun (due to the need to gather air into his lungs), and with a “wah”, the wails that ensued were comparable to that of earthquakes. Even shocking Jing Le’s hand that held the sword to tremble.

Jing Le looked at his baby brother who was crying non-stop, and in the end his heart softened. He couldn’t help turning around and bowing to Lin Hangyu: “Teacher…”

The man looked at him and then lowered his eyes: “If this doting becomes a habit, it will be difficult to turn it around later.”

“Teacher…” Jing Le opened his mouth, but in the end still lowered his head. He turned and walked back to his younger brother, carefully wiping the tears on his tender face with his sleeve.

“Can Yun’er be good?”

“Wah…” Little Jing Yun raised his two chubby paws, grabbed his outstretched hand, and looked at him with big black eyes, “Wah wah wah wah—”

Jing Le pursed his lips and turned his face away from him.

Little Jing Yun was practically about to die of sadness. Usually after he did this, big brother would give him whatever he wanted!

Lin Hangyu also turned his face and looked out the window.

The noise and clamor lasted until the middle of the night. Both this one adult and one child did not know how to look after a toddler. When the little guy became thirsty from crying, they would hand over water, and when he was hungry, they would hand over food. So little Jing Yun became more and more courageous, and in this regard, he made full use of the amazing physical strength that his father passed on to him.

In the end it still couldn’t be helped.

When the little guy finally fell asleep with tears in his eyes, Jing Le breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to climb into the bed and hug his brother to sleep, but found that the little guy’s body was hot.

At this, now the two people were really at a loss.

In Ping’an Palace, Ye Mao slipped gently into the bedroom, and whispered beside the dragon bed, “Your Majesty?”

“En?” Jing Ye’s eyelids moved, and he made a sound in his throat.

“Your Majesty, something happened at Xiaoyi Pavilion.”

“Where…” Jing Ye turned over and buried his head in the quilt, but then suddenly raised his head, “What did you say?”

Ye Mao: “Lin Gongzi went to the imperial medical college in person, and according to the imperial physician’s report, the young prince has a fever…”

“What!” Jing Ye sat up all of a sudden, “That Sword Sage or whatever, he wouldn’t happen to really not know how to take care of children, would he?”

Ye Gonggong muttered, “Would someone called the Sword Sage know how to take care of children?”

Jing Ye had already got up from the bed: “Light the lanterns! We go to Xiaoyi Pavilion!” As he spoke, he had already landed on the ground, stepping on the cold floor with his bare feet.

Ye Mao: “Ai, ai, Your Majesty, please wait…let this servant call the palace maid to change your clothes first…”

Inside Xiaoyi Pavilion.

The imperial physician sat at a small wooden table, so shabby it did not look like it belonged in the palace, his hands trembling as he wrote the prescription. Lin Hangyu, who was emitting cold air, was sitting quietly by the window, watching the little guy whose face was reddened from fever on the bed and said nothing.

Jing Le, with the wooden sword on his back, leaned against the edge of the bed, and looked at his brother, barely even blinking his eyes.

The room was silent.

It was dark outside the window. Jing Ye strode to the gate of the courtyard, raised his head and glanced at the plaque on the door, then stretched out his hand to open the door and stepped in.

The courtyard door squeaked, Jing Le’s ears twitched, and he turned to look outside, but the little guy on the bed suddenly stretched out his arms, and the little chubby paws touched Jing Le’s fingers.

He quickly turned around and grabbed his brother’s hand: “Yun’er?”

“Mr. Lin.” Jing Ye walked into the courtyard, “May zhen come in and take a look at the little prince?”

Lin Hangyu’s thin lips pursed slightly. But Jing Le couldn’t bear it any longer. He stepped forward and knelt down and said, “Teacher, let him hold Yun’er. Maybe Yun’er will be more comfortable.”

Waves appeared in the man’s eyes, he was silent for a while, but finally said, “The door is not locked.”

Although the words were not loud, Jing Ye outside the house could hear it clearly, and immediately stepped forward to open the door. The imperial physician at the table hurriedly put down his pen and knelt on the ground: “Paying respect to Your Majesty.”

“Is the prescription ready?” Jing Ye walked over and picked up the prescription, looked at it closely, and suddenly couldn’t help being exasperated, “You have been here for such a long time, and you haven’t written anything?”

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the man by the window.

“This…” The imperial physician tucked his neck in fright, and after thinking for a long time, he carefully replied: “Actually…according to…according to this lower official’s investigation, the little prince’s fever is not because of illness, but from teething.”

“Teething?” Jing Ye was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he watched his brothers take care of their children this word had come up before, so he felt relieved, “It’s not a misjudgment?”

The imperial physician bowed his head and said, “The prince’s body is hot but the back of his ears are as usual. Thus a sign of teething. It is recorded in “Secrets of the External Body”: ‘When teething occurs, the body becomes hot, the pulse becomes disordered, the sweating becomes profuse, and the eyes become unclear. Slightly similar to suffering a fright.’ It is all in line with the symptoms of the little prince, so this official predicts that his fever-like symptoms are due to teething.”

“Let zhen take a look…” Jing Ye walked to the bed and sat down. He picked up little Jing Yun in his arms and felt the temperature of his ears. And indeed it was as usual, and his heart finally went back to its usual place: “Good. Ye Mao.”

Ye Gonggong, who was standing by the door, bowed: “Ai, Your Majesty.”

“Pour some clean warm water for the prince to drink, not too hot.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Ye Mao nodded and was about to turn around, but was stopped again: “Have someone bring a bottle of the new tribute rose dew from the palace. It’s sweet, and the little guy will like to drink it with water.”

“This servant will go now.”

“Your…Your Majesty.” Jing Le pressed the edge of the bed and stared up at his little brother’s sleeping red face: “What’s wrong with Yun’er?”

Jing Ye rubbed his head and chuckled: “He’s not sick, he’s grown up.”

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 172 Objective Factors

“The first time in the forty-sixth scene of “Black and White”, action.”

Zhou Yuanting and Ah Ze hid in the alley with a group of brothers. Ah Ze couldn’t hold on anymore. He was cut twice in the back, and in order to help Zhou Yuanting block the knife, he was also stabbed in the stomach. Blood gushed down his fingers. Ah Ze was sweating profusely in pain, and his veins were visible as he panted.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“No way, I can’t hold on anymore.” Ah Ze leaned against the dirty wall and slowly slid down the wall, his eyes were a little unfocused as he looked at Zhou Yuanting, who watched a brother also getting slashed a few times, yet still had no expression on his face: “Don’t you feel any pain?”

Zhou Yuanting leaned against the other wall and raised his head silently.

“It hurts so much.” Ah Ze clutched his stomach tightly, his whole body tense: “I was most afraid of pain when I was a child, but I ended up being a gangster. Do you know why I rushed to the front every time I fought? Because I was afraid dammit. I felt ashamed when I stepped back, so I could only rush forward. When those people saw that my momentum was so fierce, they would become afraid first.”

As Ah Ze said this, he took another breath, and then heard Zhou Yuanting ask him, “Why?”

“What?” Ah Ze raised his head and looked at Zhou Yuanting. Zhou Yuanting also lowered his head at the same time, and their eyes met. The look in Zhou Yuanting’s eyes was very complicated. It seemed to still be the same indifferent and aloof arrogance, as if he looked down on hoodlums like them. But in the depths of his eyes, there was a bit of uncertainty, gratefulness, and wavering. His eyes were particularly bright in the dark alley, and a drop of blood slid from his forehead across the bridge of his nose, giving him a kind of aura of one who just pretended to be strong but was actually fragile.

“Why did you come here?” There was no change in the tone, no choking, no sadness, but the tone, its naturalness, the shuddering effect that gave people goosebumps when they heard it.

The sense of drama surged all of a sudden.

Ah Ze was covered in sweat from the pain, but suddenly smiled: “I think of you as a brother. I was afraid that something would happen to you.”

In the end, it wasn’t Ah Ting who met with an accident, it was himself: “Sooner or later, those on the streets like us, would encounter this day. Those of us who are just grunts either try hard to hack people or end up being hacked to death by others. I already expected this.”

“Ah Ting!” Ah Ze raised his head and looked at Zhou Yuanting, who held his back straight against the wall even though he was bleeding: “Do you really like elder sister-in-law?”

Zhou Yuanting didn’t answer.

Ah Ze smiled, with the hint of a dreamy look on his face: “Elder sister-in-law is really beautiful. I have slept with so many girls, but none of them were more beautiful than elder sister-in-law. You have a good eye. You are handsome, and girls like you. But you don’t sleep with any of them…..”

When Ah Ze spoke up to here, he suddenly took a few harsh breaths: “But elder sister-in-law, you can’t…..”

Ah Ze’s whole body suddenly slackened, and the hand covering his stomach slowly slid down, lying in the corner without moving.

Zhou Yuanting closed his eyes and looked up at the sky. Then, with his blood-stained right hand, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and lit one up. The flame flickered slightly, and the cigarette smoldered. Zhou Yuanting leaned against the wall and repeated softly: “Being a grunt, if you don’t try hard to hack people, you will be hacked to death by others.” Even when sleeping girls you couldn’t sleep with the prettiest.

The camera captured the moment from the sky. Outside the alley, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a lot of traffic. A group of extras wielded machetes and iron rods to search back and forth aggressively on the street. In the dark and narrow alley full of debris, Zhou Yuanting was standing, and Ah Ze laid on the ground covered in blood. Several brothers huddled around them anxiously like fearful mice.

“Cut!”

Du Ze, who was slumped on the ground like a dead fish, suddenly opened his eyes and gave a thumbs up in Tao Mu’s direction. The family knows their own affairs. Although he had already prepared well, without the cooperation of Tao Mu, Du Ze would not have entered the scene so quickly. His emotions couldn’t have been so complete either.

Director Xu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, was also very satisfied. What he liked most about Tao Mu was not how good Tao Mu’s acting was. Tao Mu’s acting was really good. The level was definitely on the top of the line. But what Director Xu admired most about Tao Mu was that he could bring his fellow actor into the scene every time he acted. Instead of only caring about his own performance, only caring about his own screen presence.

Anyway, Director Xu felt that every time Tao Mu’s scenes were filmed, the picture was the most harmonious and the most impactful. Of course also the best looking.

Because of Tao Mu’s high level of cooperation and Du Ze’s own preparations, the filming of this boxed lunch scene went very smoothly. Although it did not take just one shot, there was no NG. Just a lot of extra shots for closeups and the like. Du Ze ran behind Director Xu and watched the video playback, and was very satisfied with his performance.

Of course, he was most thankful towards Tao Mu’s cooperation. If Tao Mu’s acting skills were not so contagious, Du Ze thought he would never have gotten into the scene so deeply. Especially the line he recited before his death made even his own nose sting.

“It’s time to eat!”

Director Xu did what he said and let everyone off to eat lunch after filming the scene.

Du Ze hurriedly ran to the script supervisor to get two boxes of lunch, and hurriedly ran back to Tao Mu. Then he gave Tao Mu the chicken drumsticks in his lunch box. Thanking Tao Mu for helping him act so seriously.

Because of his good performance, and being recognized by his colleague, Tao Mu, who received chicken drumsticks, was also very happy. Because he liked to eat chicken drumsticks. Especially the special braised chicken drumsticks in Hong Kong which were really delicious.

He should find some time to learn the recipe. When he returned to Beijing in the future, he could make it himself whenever he got a craving.

“I heard that Tao Mu’s cooking skills are also very good.” Fang Ruoti said with a smile: “I wonder when you could let us have a taste?”

“There will definitely be a chance.” Tao Mu was in a good mood: “When you come to Beijing, I will definitely be the host. I will cook a good meal at home to entertain the distinguished guests.”

As soon as these words came out, the several bigwigs were very satisfied. It didn’t matter if Mr. Tao’s words were sincere or he was just being polite, everyone was very satisfied with this attitude.

As he was talking, he saw several black cars being parked on the side of the street. The doors opened, and a row of men in black got out of the cars menacingly. One of them opened the rear door of the car in front, and an old man in his sixties in a dapper suit stepped out of the car with a smile. Behind him was a young man in his twenties who looked very handsome.

“What a pompous entrance.” Du Ze leaned over to Tao Mu and explained quietly, “It’s the gang leader in Causeway Bay. But don’t worry, he’s not here to make trouble for the crew. He likes acting. Our crew wants to film in Causeway Bay. For the location shoot, they help close the streets and maintain street order. The only requirement is to make a cameo.”

The cameo appearance was still a mob boss. After the death of Ah Ze, Zhou Yanqing’s mob boss negotiated with the mob boss of Causeway Bay.

Du Ze bumped Tao Mu’s shoulder with his own and whispered, “Don’t be afraid.”

Tao Mu chuckled: “I’m not afraid.”

What was there to be afraid of, Hong Kong had returned to the mainland for many years now. Even if he was a mafia bigshot back then, he had to do proper law-abiding business now. Didn’t people see that bigshot smiling politely when he saw Yan Sheng?

Tao Mu paid more attention to the young man behind the boss. Because that person was the white paper fan who liked Shen Yu in his previous life——what was he called again?

Seemingly noticing Tao Mu’s scrutiny, the young man also turned his head. After pondering for a moment, he walked up and stretched out his hand: “Hello, Mr. Tao. I’m Liang Shuwen.”

“Hello.” Tao Mu nodded, shook Liang Shuwen’s hand briefly, and said, “Tao Mu.”

“I know you.” When Liang Shuwen said this, he suddenly smiled: “Your employees are very impressive.”

Ah? Tao Mu was a little bewildered. Why did the conversation suddenly involve his employees?

Liang Shuwen explained: “I went to a bar last night. When I came out, I was entangled by two reporters. They claimed to be expatriate reporters from FlyNews.com and asked me to do an interview so that I could talk about the car accident.”

He paused briefly, and as if afraid that Tao Mu didn’t understand the context, Liang Shuwen explained considerately: “The reason why the actor named Shen Yu in your crew had a car accident was that he accidentally collided with my car. I saw him crying quite fiercely at the time, and I thought he was injured. So I sent him to the hospital. I didn’t think it would bring so much trouble to Mr. Tao because of this.”

“Because of my fault, Mr. Tao’s family was scolded by netizens. Although I have explained it clearly in the interview, I still feel very sorry.” As Liang Shuwen spoke to here, he suggested very seriously: “But Mr. Tao can be rest assured, we have already resolved the complaints from the Hospital Authority and the hospital in question.”

Now what was this about the Hospital Authority and the hospital complaining?

When Liang Shuwen saw that Tao Mu was really ignorant he continued explaining.

According to the laws of Hong Kong, it was illegal for a reporter from FlyNews.com to bribe a doctor to directly reveal Shen Yu’s medical case. So after the news of the fake car accident broke out, someone brought their complaints about the hospital to the HA. The hospital also sued the irregular operation of FlyNews.com.

Liang Shuwen felt that this matter had something to do with him, and he also felt that he should not offend FlyNews.com and Xiaoheng Capital for the sake of a stranger. So he asked his father to come forward and push things down. Not only had the HA been settled, but even the gossip tabloids have been suppressed.

In fact, everything had already been settled and done with. Liang Shuwen came over this time just to show his goodwill. After all, he had done all the hard work, so he had to let the other know. Lest the wink was aimed at a blind man. (TN: pointless endeavor)

Tao Mu was a little intrigued. He felt that what Liang Shuwen said was very interesting. Saying that Shen Yu collided with his car, wasn’t the subject and object of the sentence switched?

But recalling that Liang Shuwen was also a top student who graduated from Hong Kong University. Tao Mu felt that Liang Shuwen would not be that stupid.

However, Tao Mu was very curious about what kind of stimulation had provoked this Liang Shuwen. In the last life, until his death, he regarded Shen Yu as the only light in the darkness, the only salvation in his tragic life. Nothing had happened yet in this life, but Shen Yu had already turned into a scam artist in his eyes? He also actively contacted the Hospital Authority and local media to help FlyNews employees deal with the aftermath.

Why didn’t Tao Mu know that Liang Shuwen actually had such a helpful side?

He was puzzled in his heart, but it didn’t delay Tao Mu saying his thanks in person. Because of this little episode, Tao Mu also stepped forward to thank Liang Shuwen’s father.

Liang Shuwen’s father smiled and invited Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng to dinner. Tao Mu pondered a little, and only said that he would contact Li Xiaoheng. He did not give a definite answer in person. He could make decisions for himself, but he didn’t want to make decisions for Li Xiaoheng. Although the two had already begun to date, Tao Mu’s head had always been very clear.

Father Liang didn’t mind either. After chatting a bit more, he began to actively discuss how to act in the next scene——he really did come to make a cameo appearance with sincerity. He was a bigshot who liked to act very much.

The only regret was that he was limited by his identity. After so many years of acting, he did not even get a nomination for the best supporting actor.

On the other side, Shen Yu also recognized this helpful person who knocked him down and sent him to the hospital. He smiled and greeted: “So it’s you? Why are you here?”

“Second young master Shen.” Liang Shuwen nodded at Shen Yu, expression and tone ndifferent.

Tao Mu was affected by his previous life and thought that Liang Shuwen’s performance was very strange. However, he forgot to consider the objective circumstances.

In the last life, Shen Yu was the young master of the Shen family, and he had always had a good reputation in the circle. Because Tao Mu made things difficult for him, he ran out of the crew in a fit of pique. The result was that he ended up colliding with Liang Shuwen’s car. Although not injured, he was indeed frightened. And because Liang Shuwen sent him to the hospital, Shen Yu intuitively believed that Liang Shuwen was a good person. No matter what outsiders say, Shen Yu always insisted on standing by Liang Shuwen’s side and defending him.

It was the first time Liang Shuwen met a person like Shen Yu. He felt that Shen Yu, who was carefully cared for and raised by the Shen family, was a delicate white lotus in a glass bottle. Isolated from the filthy real world, his whole body exuded a holy light from heaven.

However, in this life, before Liang Shuwen even met Shen Yu, he had already seen all kinds of black materials about Shen Yu on the Internet. Later, because of Shen Yu’s involvement, he almost offended the powerful Xiaoheng Capital and FlyNews.com, which had a huge public opinion influence. To him, Shen Yu was practically equated with trouble.

In addition, FlyNews.com broke the conspiracy theory that Shen Yu staged a fake car accident to guide public opinion——even if Liang Shuwen indeed lacked love and yearned for the light, he would never have fallen in love at first sight with this scandal-ridden person when they meet for the first time.

The objective conditions that could affect Liang Shuwen were gone. And if Liang Shuwen could still subjectively fall in love with Shen Yu at first sight. Now that would be a weird thing indeed.

Liang Shuwen was the white paper fan of the gang, that is, the military advisor and think tank of the gang. Although part of the reason was the influence of his background and the help of his father. But Liang Shuwen’s head was absolutely working fine.

And the reason why he liked Shen Yu so much in his last life was not only because Shen Yu showed a pure and kind side, but also because of Shen Yu’s connections, which facilitated the cooperation between the Liang family and the Shen family, and also promoted the whitewashing process of the Liang family. This was actually the most important reason.

Liang Shuwen felt that it was Shen Yu who dragged him from darkness into light. Coupled with the admiration that comes from an unrequited love mentality, the mutual fermentation of interests and feelings was an important reason for Liang Shuwen to devote himself to Shen Yu.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

It was a pity that in this life, Tao Mu’s FlyNews.com constantly broke the news of Shen Yu’s black material. Shen Yu’s biggest bargaining chip to attract admirers was gone. Therefore, the drama of love at first sight would naturally be a rare if not obsolete occurrence.

AN: Small skit——

Plot halo: if love at first sight won’t work, then there is still falling in love over time. I won’t die that easily _(:з」∠)_

Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure CH 064 The Mountain Range Congregates, The Human Heart Rages

Feng Qingxiu had a dream, and the things in the dream were quite wonderful, but it was not so wonderful when he woke up.

Logically speaking, cultivators need to guard their essence from spilling before entering the Golden Core Formation stage, to preserve the original yang in their bodies, as refining essence into energy was not just idle talk.

The cultivators all believe that essence was the essence of heaven and earth, the beginning of life, and was very precious, so unless they were heretic cultivators or mated cultivators, most cultivators remained celibate and chaste. Moreover, fleshly desires decrease after cultivation, which directly led to the scarcity of descendants among cultivators.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Compared with ordinary people who liked to have two children every two years or even one a year, a cultivator couple were more likely to have two children in a span of a hundred years.

So when Feng Qingxiu faced his erection after waking up one morning, he could only recite a heart purifying mantra to have it go away.

How could he have such a dream?

Feng Qingxiu was puzzled. Cultivators were usually in a state of restraint, and had few dreams. And the dreams they did have were usually reflections of certain things… Could it be that he had peach blossoms in his future?

After pondering for a few breaths, he shook his head, he had no need for peach blossoms, his current business was to follow at his master’s side and cultivate well! How could he be distracted by some seductress from nowhere.

Without thinking any more of it, Feng Qingxiu got up and went to take a bath, and then he packed up and went to his flying peak.

His master had granted him a fifteen-day vacation yesterday.

“Master, I’m going ahead!” Feng Qingxiu said to Ji Yunlai.

“Go early, come back early.” Ji Yunlai, who was trying to calculate the heavenly secrets, also replied casually.

Feng Qingxiu carefully closed the doors and windows and summoned his formless sword energy.

Flying with one’s sword was the standard for cultivators, but Kun-Lai was not limited by the mode. There were many people who flew on things like an abacus, chessboard, calligraphy or painted scroll. So Feng Qingxiu used his formless sword energy to fly, and other than being a little faster, there was really nothing out of the norm about it.

His target mountain peak was on the sixth section of Kun-Lai Immortal Mountain. It took about two hours to fly from Zhaoyue Peak.

“When the Sect Leader came to the Western Continent, the mountains surrounding the Western Continent had their own names. The highest mountain in the south was called the Main Mountain, the east was Lotus Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain, Zhaoyao Mountain, and the north was called Jiuqu Mountain and Sky Mountain. The Sect Leader said there was no auspiciousness in these names, and all these names were abolished. The entire mountain range on the periphery of Western Continent is now called Kun-Lai Immortal Mountain!” You Jia, who accompanied him, chatted with him casually, “I think it’s more like the Sect Leader felt that so many names to remember was too troublesome, so it is all called one name.”

Feng Qingxiu didn’t answer, but nodded secretly in his heart, thinking it was very possible.

One must know that at the time of the establishment of the sect, the entire Kun-Lai Immortal Mountain range from north to south was like a horseshoe curve, which was divided into nine sections by the Sect Leader, named from Kun-Lai 1st Section to the Kun-Lai 9th Section. The Kun-Lai Sect was located in the central part of the range on the 5th Section. The city of Haijing was on the 7th Section in the south, and the other sections had strongholds, which were guarded by various sects taking turns guarding.

Baishui Palace had already issued the license plate of their flying peak, the name was Flying Peak No. 113.

This meant that it was already the 113th flying peak of Kun-Lai to be created.

Looking at his master’s naming style, one could see that he really didn’t pay attention to minor details such as names at all.

Their speed was very fast, chatting all the way, and soon they reached the mountain peak.

There was already a lot of spare earthwork piled around the valley around the entire mountain peak. According to the calculation, nearly a quarter of the mountainside had already been hollowed out.

And in several entrances of the mountainside, there were pangolins and giant termites of various colors moving back and forth.

Of course, it was impossible to directly dig a large space in the center of the flying peak, but was instead relying on the rocks to build a space like a peak nest, and at the same time leave room for ventilation and talisman seal carvings, so both digging and building occurred simultaneously.

And outside the construction site on the mountain, there were already people waiting.

Qingnu and Huang Wei were both looking at the blueprints, while Ying An continued to hang around as a sidekick with his cowlick on the side.

“By the way, how about calling this flying peak the ‘Great You Jia’?” You Jia asked while hooking an arm around his shoulder.

“Uh,” Feng Qingxiu said directly, “no way.”

“Yes, the name ‘Qingnu Mountain’ is more suitable for the beautiful scenery here, isn’t it?” Yimeng Qingnu walked over gracefully, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she smiled at him.

“Although the scenery is lovely, the name is less than domineering. Now, the ‘Great Golden Crow’ has momentum, and it gathers more auspiciousness as well. The influence of a name on a spiritual mountain should not be underestimated. It’s better to call it the ‘Great Golden Crow’.” Huang Wei replied with a smile.

“If we still can’t agree.” You Jia chuckled and stretched out a tentacle, “We can settle it with a duel.”

“Agreed!” Qingnu nodded.

“Supported!” Huang Wei smiled.

The three rays of blue, white, and gold light pierced straight upwards into the sky!

Instantly, the sky and clouds oscillated in endless waves for a while.

Ying An shrugged and continued to surf the Net.

The spirit demons who were doing the digging didn’t even spare them a glance, but Feng Qingxiu who saw this straightforward style of jumping into duels, couldn’t help reminiscing his days in the outer sect.

Seeing those troublemakers had left, the disciples of Taiyi Peak directly invited Feng Qingxiu inside.

***

Qingdi Peak.

When Bai Liu received the new news, he just silently put it aside.

The young man next to him looked indifferent, neither speaking or moving, like a ghost.

“This is too much!” Bai Yue said with an angry expression, “Father, you went to Taiyi Peak in person last time. They said that they would come to repair our flying peak. Now great, simply reneging on their word, who do they think they are!”

“Say no more!” Bai Liu shook his head slightly, “My resources can last for a while yet, but if it really doesn’t work, then let it go.”

“Father!” Bai Yue was stunned, as if she had not recovered her senses, she asked, “What did you say?”

“If it really doesn’t work, then forget it,” Bai Liu said with a pale face and looking a little weary, “Qingdi Peak no longer has anyone left, and it is useless to remain, the above is still unwilling to issue Ling’er’s Dao Disc.”

“Why, isn’t it said that as long as you can enter the Demigod stage, you can be a law enforcement disciple of Kun-Lai? Although you need a recommendation, Father, you are an elder of the Synthesis stage, why is it still not possible?” Bai Yue’s face turned pale.

“That was something from many years ago, but now, how is Kun-Lai still lacking disciples of the Demigod stage.” Bai Liu was not surprised, this was expected, “I will go to Taiyi Peak again to speak about the flying peak.”

“Don’t act so inferior to them!” Bai Yue said angrily, “You are also the master of an inner peak. You are not inferior to them. Isn’t it just an expedition? Didn’t you plan to not let us go?”

Bai Liu just sighed, but turned to the young man: “Ling’er, do you know why I insist on going on the expedition?”

The young man was silent for a while, and then slowly said: “The circumstances have changed, before, Yimeng Qingnu was still here, and the disciples up and down the Qingdi Peak were united, so naturally there was no problem. Now, nearly nine out of ten disciples of the Qingdi Peak have moved to Qingnu Peak, so Qingdi Peak’s vitality is severely damaged, and it costs a huge amount to retrain a new generation of disciples, which would naturally cost more resources. If we do not attend the expedition, it is likely that Qingdi Peak’s vitality will not be recovered without a hundred more years.”

“Exactly.” Bai Liu nodded and looked at his daughter, “Do you understand, it is what it is, that Yan Ling could understand this, I feel a lot more at ease.”

“Peak Master!” Suddenly, a terrified cultivator walked into the hall, “It’s not good, there’s something urgent happening over at Senior Brother Guan’s!”

“What happened?” Bai Liu instantly got up and asked angrily.

Qingdi Peak had two veins left, medicine and acupuncture. The medicine vein was mainly dominated by Qingnu, and had already left together with Qingnu. But Guan Yuli, the head of the acupuncture vein, did not leave because his master was an apprentice of Bai Liu. For the sake of his master, he temporarily stayed, and as a result, a group of acupuncture disciples also remained. They had been temporarily appeased by him, so how could something happen so suddenly.

It went without saying how terrifying the pressure of a Synthesis stage cultivator was, the cultivator who brought the word immediately knelt down and almost trembled, “It’s Second Brother Xiao and the others who took a fancy to Senior Uncle Jin’s green bamboo needles, and when grabbing it they injured Senior Uncle Jin…”

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Liu had already rushed out.

That Senior Uncle Jin was Guan Yuli’s master. Guan Yuli had always been on good terms with Qingnu and was essentially her right-hand man. This time, the reason they didn’t leave together was because his master was attached to Qingdi Peak and didn’t want to leave, so he stayed temporarily. And as for Ah Jin, if it wasn’t for the serious injury he attained in the battle a hundred years ago, how could he just remain at the Golden Core Formation Stage and be injured by a few disobedient boys!

Was he usually too indulgent with those boys?! Even robbing their elders!

In just an instant, he was already by the hut on the peak where the blood bank was built.

The sons of his old friends had all fallen to the ground, with countless fresh bamboo branches sticking out of their bodies, groaning in pain, making his heart tighten.

Their cultivation base had actually all been destroyed!

“Guan Yuli!” Bai Liu was instantly furious, and with a flick of his fingers, he destroyed all the bamboo branches and fed them medicine, “You went too far!”

The handsome young man who was supporting a middle-aged cultivator and treating him with acupuncture raised his head, nodded at him, and said coldly: “Greetings to Peak Master Bai, if I came even a moment later, they would have urinated on my master’s body, the fact that I didn’t kill them is already the sign of the greatest restraint.”

“What did you say?” Bai Liu couldn’t believe what he heard, and looked at the young men on the ground: “Is this true?”

“Uncle Bai!” A naive-looking boy cried and said aggrievedly, “We just want to share your worries. We heard that the shopkeeper here has a set of green bamboo needles, which can automatically find acupoints for acupuncture, warm and nourish the blood, and can help people easily achieve mastering of cultivation, that’s why we asked him for it. But he refused, and even said that we are dragging you down, insulting us and calling us lazy, and only then in a moment of pique we… we did a foolish thing…”

The young man applying acupuncture needles smiled and said indifferently: “Although my green bamboo needles can automatically find acupoints and apply acupuncture to warm and nourish the blood, it is not something that such trash like you could learn. Even the best brush will not be able to paint a good painting in the hands of trash.”

Becoming a divine physician with just a set of good needles?

The dozens of male and female disciples around the young man also sneered. This group of idiots had quite the imagination. If it was so, why would they still need to memorize Taiyi Nine Needles and other techniques, and how would they still need to graduate from practicing acupuncture on bronze dummies before moving to real people, and even go as far as sticking each other with needles to practice for decades?

Did they really think their abilities were dropped in their laps by the wind?

“But that didn’t mean you had to destroy their cultivation base!” Bai Liu felt a great pain in his heart. The cultivation base of these children was accumulated from alchemical pills, but the human body had its own limit. The more pills were taken, the less effective they would be. In the end, the body couldn’t bear the strain, and might explode and die. Now that their cultivation base had been destroyed, even if their ​​​​dantian was repaired, it would be nearly impossible to use pills to accumulate cultivation again.

Originally, they had a lifespan of a few hundred years, but now it was difficult to say whether they could even live past a century.

“Peak Master.” The middle-aged cultivator who had not spoken this whole time finally spoke up. His robes were neatly arranged by his apprentice, and he didn’t look very disheveled, but what happened to him just now couldn’t be clearer. He said slowly, “Thinking about it, I am also your apprentice, and Yu Li is also your direct grand-apprentice.”

Bai Liu was dumbfounded for a while, he naturally knew that.

“You are willing to face the entrustment of the dead, yet you are not willing to face the living people like us.” The middle-aged cultivator’s tone was calm and slow, “The acupuncture vein was personally handed down from you, but you haven’t cared about it for a long time—the last time was almost a hundred years ago, when I accepted Yu Li as my apprentice, you said that he was of the spirit demon lineage and should not have entered Qingdi Peak. I still accepted him in the end, but you never came to see me again, even afterwards when you had me collect spirit demon blood and send it to your precious apprentice, you only sent a disciple to relay this order. It was also what my apprentice said. The cost for buying the spirit demon blood was also paid by my apprentice, otherwise, with my meager savings, it really wouldn’t have been enough to afford the amount your precious apprentice needed.”

“Ah Jin…” Even with his cultivation at the Synthesis stage, it was difficult for Bai Liu to restrain his anger for a while, “How could I be someone who would renege on the money owed to you!”

“I won’t say anymore. When one is old and dying, one often thinks about the past. When I was being humiliated today, I was just thinking, it’s okay for a bag of old bones like me to lose face, but I can’t drag my apprentice down,” the middle-aged cultivator patted his apprentice’s hand comfortingly, “Yu Li, I heard that Qingnu has been waiting for you for a long time, let’s go together.”

“It should have been this way a long time ago.” The young man put away the thin needles, his refined face showing no joy or anger. He only turned his head to look at the disciples under his command, “Go back and pack up, we will meet at Qingnu Peak.”

The young men and women behind him cheered at the same time and scattered.

Bai Liu was silent, watching Guan Yuli help his master up and walk towards the door.

Just when the two sides brushed past, Bai Liu closed his eyes deeply, and then slowly said: “After injuring my people, do you really think you can just leave?”

***

Yimeng Qingnu fought with the other two for an entire day, but to no avail.

So they went back to Feng Qingxiu to drink tea.

“Senior Sister Qingnu, you just ascended a mountain, shouldn’t you be very busy?” Feng Qingxiu asked curiously, why do you still have time to run around every day?

“Now this, you don’t know.” Huang Wei smiled and said, “Her wife didn’t come with her, without him, Qingnu would not be able to take care of the internal affairs, so now she is hiding from that group of Qingnu Peak people looking for her to make decisions on matters.”

“After he has persuaded his master then he’ll come over. He has already made plans for Qingnu Peak from top to bottom. Those trivial matters will be solved after he comes over. In any case, it’s not like they’ll die if forced to wait a few more days,” Yimeng Qingnu said easily, “Ai, it would be nice if he was really my wife.”

“Yes, you deal with the matters outside while he deals with the inside.” You Jia smiled and said, “It’s just a pity about Xiao An’s unrequited love~”

Ying An looked at them blankly, not knowing what anything had to do with him.

Suddenly, Feng Qingxiu, who was holding his Net Charm, looked up at them: “Is that wife surnamed Guan?”

The four people looked at each other, and the other three l connected their Net Charm at the same time. Only You Jia asked Feng Qingxiu, “What happened?”

There was no other way, You Jia was the one who used up his online hours the fastest, and there was no time left in his Net Charm for today.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“F**k! Yu Li was seized by that idiot Bai Liu.” Qingnu stood up murderously, “Let’s go, you guys come with me!”

You Jia snatched Feng Qingxiu’s Net Charm with a tentacle, and immediately submitted a new post on it.

“Latest News: Fighting for Love—Yimeng Qingnu angrily goes up Qingdi Peak, could she get back her love? Please follow the live news of your Headline King You Jia”

This would definitely hit the headlines in seconds.

His Majesty And Ministers CH 14 Bonding & Restitution

Jing Le hugged his younger brother and carried the small wooden sword on his back, running all the way from the small side path back to the secluded courtyard.

There was an old plaque hanging in front of the courtyard, with the words “Xiaoyi Pavilion” inscribed.

Little Jing Yun was still slapping his elder brother’s tender face angrily: “Wah wah!”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Don’t fuss, Yun’er.” Jing Le grabbed his younger brother’s chubby paws with a stern face, “We have to meet teacher.”

“!!!!!!”

Jing Yun widened his eyes and was finally obedient.

Jing Le carefully stepped into the yard with his brother in his arms, stood in front of a paper window, and then lowered his head: “Teacher.”

 After a long time.

“You are late.”

“Still late in the end…” Jing Le pursed his lips and lowered his head again: “This student understands.”

“Go outside and slash a hundred times with your sword.” The man’s voice was as cold as ice and snow, “No whistling sound of the wind should be heard.”

“Yes, teacher.”

Jing Le hesitated for a moment, but still raised his head and said, “Teacher, can you look after Yun’er for this student?”

“Fine.” The man responded, “Just bring him into the room.”

“This student thanks teacher!” Jing Le smiled and carried his younger brother to the door, “This student is entering?”

“En.”

Jing Le took his younger brother into the house. The man was sitting quietly by the window, the candle was flickering, and the dim yellow candlelight reflected on his long jet-black hair, shrouding it in a flowing halo.

Jing Yun was carried to the couch while still babbling. Jing Le stroked his soft hair, and instructed, “Be good Yun’er, listen to teacher’s words.”

Little Jing Yun stared at his older brother with wide eyes, and then turned to look at the man at the table who was as cold as snow. He suddenly recalled the gentle smile and embrace of the young man earlier, and he couldn’t help feeling a surge of misery.

“Wah wah wah wah—”

The man’s brows moved slightly: “What’s wrong?”

Jing Le was a little embarrassed: “This…”

The man was silent for a while, then finally got up, walked to little Jing Yun and leaned over to hug him: “Don’t cry.”

The angry little Jing Yun was like a newborn calf not knowing to be afraid of tigers. Although he was a little scared, he still resolutely slapped the teacher’s icy face with a wave of his little chubby paws.

“!!” Jing Le inhaled sharply and stepped forward: “Teacher, actually…this student can still look after Yun’er…”

“What happened outside?”

“Huh?” Jing Le was stunned, “Oh, it’s, it’s nothing, we just met one person…”

He looked at the expressionless face of his teacher, and said carefully: “This student didn’t take good care of my younger brother, letting him run off accidentally, and when this student found him later, someone was holding him.”

“…Yun’er liked his hug and refused to come back. That’s why we came back late.”

The man didn’t say a word, just gently let go of the little guy who kept babbling in his arms, lowered his head and looked at him: “Don’t fuss.”

Little Jing Yun was first shocked by the man’s icy eyes, but he immediately reacted: You actually acted mean to me! As a result, let go of his lungs and screeched, this time turning the volume to the highest level.

“Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah—”

Man: “…”

Jing Le: “Teacher, what should be done?”

Man: “…Children, hard to raise.”

Jing Ye saw the two brothers again the next day.

As soon as the little one saw him, he grinned and opened his arms to beg for a hug. Jing Ye walked over and stretched out his arms. The bigger one hesitated for a while, but still carried his brother and handed him over.

Jing Ye smiled and hugged the little guy, rubbing against his little petal-like face. If he could take him back with him just like this, his mood would be even more complete.

Little Jing Yun raised his head and opened his mouth, spitting out a bubble, with an adorable smile on his face.

Jing Ye smiled at Jing Le: “Are you lost again?”

Jing Le looked at his smiling eyes, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed for the lie he told yesterday, and rubbed the little wooden sword in his hands: “No, no.”

Jing Ye squeezed little Jing Yun, who was constantly moving in his arms, and asked him, “Do you have to practice martial arts outside until this hour every day?”

Jing Le nodded, thought about it for a moment, and said, “Teacher said that people must first work hard on their hearts and minds and then work hard on their muscles and bones.”

Jing Ye looked at the wooden sword in his hand again, and found that the back of the sword was hollow: “This is…”

Jing Le followed his line of sight and replied, “Teacher wants me to practice slashing with it until there is no sound of breaking the air.”

Jing Ye: “…”

A child who was only eight years old was treated so strictly. He remembered that group of little ancestors in his previous life who would burst into sobs if just their little finger was scraped, and he couldn’t help but gently hold the boy’s hand and found that there was already a thin layer of calluses on it: “You practice every day, are you happy?”

Jing Le was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “I don’t know, but I need to practice.”

Jing Ye sighed in his heart.

Lu Baizang came to deliver snacks to His Majesty the Emperor as usual. Jing Ye looked at the porcelain plate on which the desserts were placed, and suddenly asked him, “Do you know what children like to eat?”

Lu Baizang was slightly surprised and said with a smile, “This subject has a little niece. Before entering the palace, she often pestered this subject for snacks to eat.”

“Really?” Jing Ye couldn’t help laughing, “Then zhen must trouble qing to make some of the same from before.”

“En?”

No need to fry melon seeds anymore?

“You don’t need to fry melon seeds anymore.” Jing Ye said, “If it is no trouble, please make some snacks that qing‘s niece likes to eat.”

Lu Baizang raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Your Majesty’s words are too impersonal and distant.” Then he loomed closer over him, “As long as Your Majesty wants, this subject can give you anything…”

Ai qing.” Jing Ye stepped back expressionlessly, “Remember Lu Huihui?”

Lu Baizang: “…”

Jing Ye was once again standing by the lake, this time with a bag of cakes. Sure enough, when it was almost evening, Jing Le walked out from the shade of the tree with little Jing Yun in his arms.

Jing Ye leaned over with a smile, took over Jing Yun who had already opened his arms, and said to the serious-looking elder brother with a smile, “Are you hungry?”

“…” Jing Le lowered his eyes: “I’m not hungry.”

“Is that so.” Jing Ye freed one hand and slowly opened the paper bag in his hand, “Then do you want to eat cakes?”

Lu Baizang’s cooking skills were truly outstanding, as soon as the paper bag was opened, a sweet fragrance wafted into the air. Little Jing Yun’s eyes went cross eyed, and his drool was like a dam bursting.

Jing Le swallowed his saliva, and just as he was about to say no, his stomach growled and his face flushed.

Jing Ye couldn’t help laughing and picked up a piece and put it into the mouth of the little guy who was already desperately trying to grab at it. Jing Le blushed and wanted to turn his back, but Jing Ye grabbed another piece and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

After all, he was just a child, the yam cake with jujube filling in his mouth melted in his mouth, accompanied by the sweet aroma of red jujube filling, and he couldn’t help swallowing straight down into his stomach.

Since his father’s death, Jing Le had never eaten any meals or snacks that could be used other than to satisfy hunger. Because his shifu never ate these kinds of things.

Jing Ye smiled and rubbed his head.

Whether it was the palace guards who followed the emperor, or the uncle and his two nephews who were eating happily, none noticed the corners of white robes fluttering gently in the tall trees not far away, 

After feeding the two little guys, Jing Ye returned to Ping’an Palace in the imperial sedan. Ye Mao was waiting at the gate of the palace. When he saw the emperor getting off the sedan, he stepped forward and said: “Your Majesty, the two lords, Lord Yin and Lord Tang you sent to the southwest, have returned to the capital today.”

“Is that so?” Jing Ye leaned down and got out of the sedan, “All the officials on the imperial envoy have returned to the court…then it’s time to settle the account.”

The next day.

Jing Ye sat on the dragon throne in his five-clawed dragon robe and said loudly, “Tang ai qing, Yin ai qing.”

The two glanced at each other, and said, “This subject is here.”

Zhen has been worried about the disaster in the southwest this whole time, and now that the two ai qings have come back…” Jing Ye’s index finger lightly rubbed the dragon head on the armrest, “…Can you tell zhen how the disaster is now?”

Yin Yuan took a step forward, stroked his sleeves, and knelt down on the ground: “Reporting to Your Majesty, after the 300,000 taels arrived in the southwest, many people now live in peace and warmth, and the disaster situation has greatly improved.”

Jing Ye smiled: “Is that so? Then the two ai qings have worked hard.”

The two of them also smiled: “Your Majesty is wise, it is the blessing of the imperial court.”

Zhen feels very relieved that ai qing has said this.” Jing Ye said with a smile, word by word, and only he could hear how he gritted his teeth, “That being the case, zhen has here some seemingly untrue rumors, and would like you two to have a look.”

Lords Tang and Yin had strange expressions on their faces, raised their heads, and saw that the emperor took out a red sealed memorial from his sleeve, raised his hand and threw it down the steps.

The two couldn’t help the sinking in their hearts.

Tang Hongwen moved his fingers, stepped forward slowly, picked up the memorial, and opened it to look.

There was silence in the hall for a while. Tang Hongwen stood at the foot of the steps and looked at the memorial, and the more he read the more his body trembled, and finally his hands trembled so hard the memorial fell to the ground, and he himself also knelt down: “This subject! This subject…Your Majesty please investigate…”

Yin Yuan sensed something was wrong, so he hurriedly picked up the memorial and read through it. However, after two brief glances, he was already dripping with cold sweat, and immediately fell to the ground: “Your Majesty, please investigate! This subject has never concealed anything from Your Majesty!”

Jing Ye leaned forward and stared at them: “Then does ai qing mean to say that this Shahe County magistrate falsely reported news and intended to deceive zhen?”

“Yes…yes…”

“Do you really think that this was the only memorial handed to zhen!” Jing Ye raised his voice sharply, “The officials from several counties and towns next to Shahe County have sent them! Saying that you two! Allowed the relief funds to be robbed without reporting it! And even made a profit from it!”

“…Speak, who should zhen trust?”

“Your Majesty…Your Majesty, this subject…”

Jing Ye looked at the two people coldly: “Tang Hongwen and Yin Yuan, who embezzled the state treasury, deceived the monarch and did not report the truth, should be sentenced to death on the basis of the law.”

“Your Majesty!” The two of them could no longer say anything, they just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, “Begging Your Majesty to forgive the sins of this subject…”

Jing Ye looked at these two people indifferently: “Where are the Imperial Guards?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

There was a sound of armor clanging behind the huge colonnade, and the soldiers who emitted the aura of blood and killing intent stood forward: “Your Majesty.”

“Take the two of them out of the hall, remove their official uniforms, and throw them out of the palace.”

“Yes!”

“Relay the order to the Imperial Army to leave immediately without delay, seize and confiscate the manors of Yin and Tang.”

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 171 Challenge

It’s probably been a bit too smooth-sailing recently. To be more specific, if you have someone to dote on you, you would unconsciously become arrogant. Therefore, even though Tao Mu could clearly see that Lin Rong’an was showing goodwill towards him, he was too lazy to bother with the other.

If this was put in the past, such a thing was absolutely impossible. So long as the benefits were sufficient, even if Tao Mu would be putting himself through grief, he would still respond with a smiling face. But he didn’t think like that now. What his Yao Dad said was right. Life was too short to spend all your days making money. And besides, making money was to improve one’s life. He was not lacking in money now, so why should he make himself unhappy and do business with his enemies in his previous life?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Was it because he had too much time, or because acting was not fun?

But the matter also involved Li Xiaoheng. Tao Mu was not willing to talk to Lin Rong’an, but he couldn’t make decisions for Li Xiaoheng. So he could only answer perfunctorily: “I don’t know much about this. Although I am a partner of Xiaoheng Capital, I do not participate in the specific management of the company. If the Lin family is interested in cooperating with Xiaoheng Capital, you should communicate with CEO Li directly.”

“Oh?” Lin Rong’an raised his eyebrows, tilted his head to examine Tao Mu, and smiled meaningfully: “I thought it would be easier for me to come to you based on the relationship between Mr. Tao and Mr. Li.”

Tao Mu was exactly annoyed by Lin Rong’an’s ambiguous tone. Since the previous life, this person would not speak like a normal person.

“You don’t need to worry about my relationship with CEO Li.” Tao Mu said impatiently, “Are you here to pick a fight?”

“Mr. Tao, please don’t get me wrong. I just…..” Lin Rong’an was startled suddenly. Just what?

The relationship between Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng, or to be precise, the news that Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng burned incense and worshipped Buddha at the Wong Tai Sin Temple to seek their marriage fortunes, had already reached all those well-informed Hong Kong families. Lin Rong’an also heard about it. He hadn’t felt anything before, but now seeing Tao Mu in person, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Why was Tao Mu together with Li Xiaoheng? Was it because Li Xiaoheng met Tao Mu before him?

Lin Rong’an knew his own sexual preference. He never hid it either. Even the Hong Kong gossip tabloid would occasionally publish the gossip scandal that Lin Rong’an dated both men and women. Lin Rong’an never cared, and the Lin family never asked. Everyone knew that Lin Rong’an could handle matters clearly. No matter how wild he played outside, he would get married when it was time to get married.

Therefore, Lin Rong’an misunderstood that Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng also had this kind of relationship. Both business partner and bed partner. After all, most of their kind were just that uncaring about scruples.

Lin Rong’an just envied these two people’s luck. No matter Tao Mu or Li Xiaoheng, their appearance, figure, family background were all extremely high-quality. Especially Tao Mu, there was no need to mention that face, just that figure with broad shoulders, narrow back, slender waist, long legs and perky bottom. When standing still, it was just good-looking. But when action scenes started and he got into his fighting pose——swinging a punch, swiping with a blade, and kicking with long legs——it was simply so beautiful that anyone’s mouth would go dry. Lin Rong’an very pathetically got an erection.

“Cut!”

Director Xu sat in front of the monitor and replayed Tao Mu’s previous fight scene with great satisfaction.

Probably because he had acted in several martial arts dramas before, Tao Mu’s fighting scenes were particularly beautiful. It maintained the realism of heavy fists punching into flesh, and at the same time, he could make it look smooth and unrestrained. Especially the micro-expressions on his face and in his eyes during the fight, combined with Tao Mu’s fighting skills, the visual impact could not be anymore strong.

“Not bad.” Director Xu nodded slightly. After going through Tao Mu’s fight scene again, he started filming the next scene.

Which was the scene where Du Ze finally got his box lunch.

The makeup artist came up to touch up Du Ze’s makeup, and put a blood bag in his mouth. Du Ze held the blood bag in his hand with disgust: “Wait a while until it’s time. It’s all chicken blood, and it’s disgusting and smelly.”

After finishing speaking, he told Tao Mu in a worried tone, “Later, make sure you lead me.”

Du Ze meant to have Tao Mu accompany his acting well. It would be even better if he could immerse him into the scene too. That way he could also perform better.

Tao Mu was panting slightly. He had filmed a morning of fight scenes under the hot sun. All were intense action scenes. He had to run, jump, and hack at people, and he had to do all of it with style and aesthetic beauty, with passion and emotion, with layers and layers of undermeaning. So he was indeed tired.

His hair was wet with sweat, and it fell wetly on his forehead. It made Tao Mu’s skin seem even paler than jade. And it was the finest jade at that. Sweat and blood covered all over his body, and the blood-red wounds cut by the machete also contrasted eye catchingly against the pale skin. And as he leaned weakly against the wall at the corner of the street, there was an aura of beauty that inspired sadomasochistic urges.

Tao Mu was so hot, he unconsciously tugged at the neckline of the T-shirt that had been purposely messed up by the prop master, took the mineral water handed over by the assistant, and drank half of the bottle in one go. The rest was poured directly over his head.

Sweat mixed with water droplets rolled down, and Tao Mu squinted at the sun.

“I want to take a bath.” Tao Mu licked his lips. He had no obsession with cleanliness. But no matter how sloppy one was, after running for so long under the 30-degree Celsius sun, sweating so much, and having the makeup artist touch up the fake blood on their faces, they would also want to take a bath.

Du Ze looked at Tao Mu, who was giving off sex appeal in waves, and suddenly didn’t know where to look.

“After filming this scene, it’s time for dinner.” Du Ze coughed lightly, “I just don’t know how many times there will be an NG.”

“It’s alright. I’ll try my best to cooperate with you. Let’s try our best to go through it. Early death and early reincarnation.” Tao Mu reached out and patted Du Ze’s shoulder. But he forgot that the makeup artist had just smeared half a bag of plasma on his hand. The red slap print appeared on Ah Ze’s white T-shirt, and the angry makeup artist screeched.

Tao Mu could only widen his eyes innocently and spread out his hands. He really didn’t mean it.

“You should wear a black shirt.” Tao Mu was particularly uncaring of his image as he sat down against the corner, straightening one leg and bending the other leg. One arm rested on the knee of the bent leg: “We’re the mafia, we have to wear black. What was the prop master thinking? Actually making you wear a white T-shirt. It makes your complexion look particularly dark.”

“But it makes you look particularly handsome!”

While talking, Fang Ruoti’s assistant brought a box of iced dragon fruit to Tao Mu: “It’s from sister Fang.”

“Huh?” Du Ze squinted at Tao Mu, and wanted to ask when Tao Mu got so close to Fang Ruoti. But Tao Mu didn’t give him this chance. He just held up the dragon fruit and asked, “Do you want to eat it?”

“Eat!” Du Ze thought about it, but didn’t bother to ask. After all, Tao Mu’s identity was different from actors like them. He came attached with a halo of capital. Didn’t people see that even the young master of the Lin family was standing on the set waiting to fawn on him. Not to mention actors like him.

Sure enough, after Fang Ruoti was the first to show her goodwill, there were other actors’ assistants who took advantage of the break between the props crew setting up the scene to come over to send warmth——or in this case, send coolness. Zhou Yanqing’s assistant brought a small fan, Wang Jinsheng’s assistant brought a bowl of ice bean soup, and Luo Daming’s assistant brought a cup of sour plum soup that Luo Daming made himself. Even Yan Sheng’s agent secretly snuck over to discuss with Tao Mu his experience in transcribing Buddhist scriptures.

Zeng Yiheng came here after receiving a call from Yan Sheng’s assistant. He didn’t expect that a stable and reliable person like Yan Sheng would make such a big mess for the sake of Shen Yu. He even dared to threaten the director with a work strike.

Zeng Yiheng rushed to the crew as soon as possible, and apologized in front of Director Xu, and directly said that Yan Sheng was possessed by evil spirits, and asked Director Xu not to bother quibbling with him.

Director Xu really didn’t care much. If this matter of Yan Sheng was put on other occasions, even if Director Xu didn’t voice it, he would still feel a slight grudge in his heart. But today was really different. Who asked Yan Sheng to make a fuss to help Shen Yu plead for mercy, only for Shen Yu to bring the young master of the Lin family to support him right after.

Because of this slap to the face, Director Xu not only was not angry with Yan Sheng, but even felt some pity and sympathy for him.

However, there was no need to voice this kind of private emotion.

Even so, Zeng Yiheng felt a special headache. Right after he gave Yan Sheng a good scolding, he immediately came to Tao Mu to ask for a good way to ward off evil spirits. Who let Tao Mu to always come out on top when going up against Shen Yu!

“If it really doesn’t work, please lend me one of your photos, and I’ll put it in Ah Sheng’s wallet to ward off evil spirits.”

“Why not a condom while you’re at it as well!” Tao Mu rolled his eyes at Zeng Yiheng irately. They were the official CP, intimate, lovey-dovey, with the power of absolute true love. So what’s the deal with stuffing his picture in the guy’s wallet.

Even if Yan Sheng didn’t mind, he himself felt disgusted. Not to mention that crybaby Shen Yu, he could just imagine him turning into a clingy pest, pestering him every day and accusing him on the Internet!

“Aren’t I being forced into a corner by a certain someone? So I was just grabbing at straws.” Zeng Yiheng explained with an ingratiating smile, “Please don’t mind me Mr. Tao, I really don’t mean to stir up trouble and slander you.”

Tao Mu angrily took a mouthful of sour plum soup. He didn’t notice that in the corner of the studio, Shen Yu was currently looking at him enviously.

Even if the white lotus flower had a bad head, he could still pick up on the fact that the entire crew did not want to see him at this moment. He waited on set all morning and no one spoke to him. Even Yan Sheng, who had always doted on and listened to him, ignored him. When he had no scenes, he would rather get into his nanny’s car and read his lines than talk to him. He took the initiative to go over, but big brother Yan actually sent an assistant to stop him.

Shen Yu could sense that the entire crew looked at him strangely. But he didn’t know what he had done wrong. He was the one who almost got hurt, wasn’t he?

No one paid attention to him, so Shen Yu was very sad. But Tao Mu had been filming all morning and had barely rested for a few minutes when groups of people came delivering fruits and iced drinks, meticulous in their care and attention. Big brother Yan’s agent even ran over to chat with Tao Mu. He could see the two talking and laughing.

With such a contrast, Shen Yu lowered his head even more sadly and hugged himself tightly. So aggrieved he wanted to cry.

Lin Rong’an stood beside him and observed with interest. Looking at Shen Yu for a while, and then looking at Tao Mu for a while. He found that Tao Mu’s personality was not bad. It seemed that it depended on the person when he coldly pushed people thousands of miles away.

As for the division standard! Lin Rong’an glanced at Shen Yu subtly.

Noticing Lin Rong’an’s gaze, Shen Yu, who had been left out for an entire morning, came over like a puppy who finally met a kind person, and asked timidly, “Third brother Lin?”

Because Lin Rong’an accepted old madam Lin’s entrustment and brought him back to the studio, Shen Yu naturally developed a trace of trust in Lin Rong’an.

Lin Rong’an looked at Shen Yu who seemed to have a habit of calling brother whenever he met anyone, and hooked up the corner of his mouth meaningfully.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

If only the wild leopard with particularly sharp claws could be as easily reeled in as this domesticated cat in front of him. But then again, those who were too easy, coming and going when they were called, without any temper or personality, posed no challenge at all.

Lin Rong’an regretfully suppressed his active thoughts. It was a pity that Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng were still going strong. If he were to make a move now, it was likely that he would offend Li Xiaoheng. It was better to wait another year and a half, he didn’t believe that with the status of Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng, they could be so lovey-dovey forever?

Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure CH 063 Each Walk His Own Way, Each Has His Own Dao

The core of the flying peak was easily taken care of by Ji Yunlai.

The rest of the shell needed Feng Qingxiu to find a mountain that was pleasing to the eye by himself—Kun-Lai occupied the Western Continent, and there was nothing more than mountains here.

So the apprentice went to choose a mountain, and was even accompanied by those new friends of his.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Ji Yunlai originally wanted to accompany him with his divine consciousness as protection, but a thought arose in his heart, and he suddenly changed his intention.

This was just like voyeurism!

Was he paying too much attention to his apprentice?

That kind of attention had even surpassed that between a father and son and was now more like between boyfriend and girlfriend—although he had never had a girlfriend or boyfriend.

He must be careful…

Ji Yunlai went to the top of the mountain to let the wind blow on him, and began to reflect. He had never heard of himself liking a person during the past six hundred years.

So he had been single for at least six hundred years.

Even if he didn’t mention the entire thousand years he had no memory of, just the memories in this life that he had and the last life added together, he was still a bachelor in his 50s.

How terrifying!

Ji Yunlai recalled the past. In his last life, he was born in the late 1970s. Before university, because his home country at that time was not tolerant towards homosexuals, he had been very careful to hide his sexual orientation. Later, when he went to study abroad, because of the difference in thinking and culture, he didn’t make many friends, and because of his obsession with cleanliness, he was very displeased with the chaos in the gay circle, so he just devoted himself to work, and then later he died.

After being reborn, needless to say, there was no boyfriend in sight during the first sixteen years.

In truth, it didn’t matter to him, he could live well by himself.

Thinking about this, he thought that he should still be more careful with Xiao Qing in the future. He was still a child, so he couldn’t mislead him.

His body now as a Human Immortal had long been perfected and was as pure and clear as glass, without any mortal needs troubling him, so as for love and sex, he’ll just leave it up to fate.

Raising his hand, he looked at his slender and fair fingers, and gently crushed a stone beside him.

Recently, he had been feeling a little confused. After inheriting such an enormous sect, he felt a little constrained and didn’t know what to do.

A few days ago, he asked Yan Zhao, what other enemies were around?

This junior brother immediately knelt down and begged him to stay in the sect and be the leader of the sect and let them do the menial work instead. If a sect had reached the point where the leader of the sect had to go out every day to fight for life and death, then Kun-Lai should have closed shop long ago. Now, the great sages that were around were thousands of miles away, so it’s fine if you just stay at home, it’s fine!

Honestly… sigh!

He took out the Main Net Charm again, which had penetrated into every aspect of the life of an official Kun-Lai disciple for hundreds of years. As soon as he left Kun-Lai, it would be half paralyzed.

Ji Yunlai even wanted to find a certain Professor Yang, ah no, Elder Yang, from the Law Enforcement Hall who was good at using electric shocks.

But the trace of unease in his heart told him that the current situation was far less calm than the surface appeared.

This was not an illusion. It was said that the Xing Dao Master was an incredibly learned man, and possessed an even more terrifying power in deducing the strings of fate and heaven’s secrets than his martial strength. However, now looking at the information on the Net Charm about the practice of deducting heaven’s secrets, Ji Yunlai found that it was missing some key information.

Before he lost his memory, some things were deleted by him, so he could not learn those parts for the time being.

It seemed that in the practice of heavenly divination, he had to learn and make up the missing parts for himself.

Feng Qingxiu came back after selecting a mountain peak, and this time it went very smoothly. The several co-owners of the flying peak had already selected more than a dozen peaks with suitable peak shape, volume, and structural rock formation, and just had to determine the final choice together.

The rest just remained the issue of hollowing out the peak and carving in the talisman seals for strength and toughness on the mountainside. The foreign spirit demons looking for work were professionals in this field, especially the pangolin spirit demon clan. They were Kun-Lai’s veteran flying peak engineering team. The mountain peaks they went through were always flat and thin, as well as most convenient for Taiyi Peak to add talisman seals to.

But because the blueprint was a new blueprint from Feng Qingxiu’s master, there would definitely be people watching the process on the side.

On the way back, Feng Qingxiu was thinking about going to the flying peak to stay and oversee it for ten days to half a month, and he had to ask his master for leave.

Though he felt a little reluctant to leave his master.

When he passed the courtyard, he saw the blooming white camellia again, and his shadow had also already taken the initiative to move over and wrap around it.

He stepped forward and peeled off his disobedient shadow. He was a little angry: “What the hell are you looking for?”

The shadow jumped in his hand and pointed to the ground directly below the camellia.

“This is Master’s place, you can’t dig around casually.” Feng Qingxiu flicked it back, “I won’t allow you to move freely any more if you continue to make trouble.”

Since his cultivation level had deepened, he had been able to control this disobedient shadow.

So the shadow didn’t move anymore.

However, Feng Qingxiu was still a little curious, so he went to his master.

There was no one in his master’s room, and the door was not closed, so he wondered where he went.

In a moment overcome by curiosity, Feng Qingxiu couldn’t hold back and ran over to the camellia, carefully removing a layer of soil under the bush. Soon, he found a smooth pebble, gray in color, with a line of small characters engraved on the back.

Nothing I want to have,

No one I envy,

A lifetime’s love, what I want is already there, what I never asked for is still given.

The love is shallow but the bonds of fate are deep,

My life is limited.

Unrequited love,

Dark green together, clouds returning.

May there be someone in the next life to accompany him in my place.

Qing.

This handwriting was actually the same as his own! The! Very! Same!

Feng Qingxiu beat up his shadow with an icy expression! Making sure to hit very hard.

Damn, how dare you use his handwriting to write and bury this kind of thing, making it look like he had some inappropriate thoughts towards his master, and what “my life is limited, I hope someone in the next life will accompany him in my place” I am still living well! I am a cultivator who plans to reach the Synthesis stage, and I will definitely live for thousands of years!

And what “a lifetime’s love, what I want is already there, what I never asked for is still given”?

Am I the kind of person who doesn’t fight for what I want?

What if his master saw and misunderstood? What if his master thought he liked him, even though he did like—

Feng Qingxiu got stuck for a moment, and seemed to be recalling whether there was anything weird about his feelings of affection towards his master. How could there be anything weird? He just liked to engrave some mini figurines of his master in different poses to collect and make some small clothes and accessories!

It was only natural that the apprentice liked the master!

And even wanting others to accompany his master, go die, it’s enough for his master to have only him here!

After dishing out a good beating, Feng Qingxiu wanted to destroy the stone, but the formless sword energy for the first time wouldn’t listen to him.

Feeling helpless for a while, Feng Qingxiu didn’t dare to carelessly throw it away either. If it was picked up by others, even if he had 10,000 mouths he would still be unable to explain his way out of it, so he put it in a pile with the small carvings he treasured, closed the box, and decided to find a way to deal with it later.

Then he went to beat up his shadow again.

Shadow was extremely aggrieved.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the void, and it was Ji Yunlai who came back.

His master looked at him suspiciously.

Feng Qingxiu was feeling a little guilty, he lowered his head and let go of his shadow, and with his hands now empty, he pretended to be a good and obedient boy.

Ji Yunlai chuckled and shook his head: “Did you find a peak you liked?”

“I found a very good one.” Feng Qingxiu nodded, and naturally pulled his master’s hand and led him forward, wanting to leave the crime scene, “It’s getting late, let’s talk inside, Qingnu gave me some of the new spring tea from the tea garden, you will definitely like it.”

Fortunately, his master didn’t see the stone.

He prayed it won’t be seen in the future either.

***

Taiyi Peak.

At the “fiercely working month” selection meeting, the most outstanding talisman seal masters from each team came forward enthusiastically, each displaying strong means, wanting to apply for this flying peak construction task.

Taiyi Peak didn’t judge based on the level of cultivation, but on the attainment of talisman seals and wards, and for a while all kinds of insubordination and disrespecting superiors occurred.

“Peak Master, can’t we take turns like last time?” After a melee battle, still no one could convince each other. A disciple took out the expensive healing salve produced by Qingdi Peak and began dabbing it over his bruised face.

As the main peak with the fewest numbers in Kun-Lai but the highest income (due to monopoly), these disciples did not want to give up this opportunity.

Money and materials were the things that were the least lacking for them. Those who could go to Taiyi Peak were your standard academic tyrants, and the Sect Leader was the god of academics in their hearts, the pinnacle of Kun-Lai’s Way of Seals. If they missed this opportunity, they would regret it for their lifetime.

“This time it’s officially starting construction, how can we take turns? If something goes wrong and the Sect Leader becomes angry, what would we do then?” The peak master said coldly, and then forcefully added his name to the first spot on the list, before slowly saying, “Also, let me warn you all, don’t disturb Ah Fu’s Seclusion, if he really comes out, none of you will have a chance!”

“Uh, Peak Master, if we don’t notify Senior Brother, he will tear us apart when he comes out.” A disciple piped up timidly.

“Let him tear you apart, anyway, didn’t we buy half of the property at Qingnu Peak, so there is plenty of space to live there.” The peak master said lightly, “Besides, can you even decipher the Seclusion ward around his dwelling?”

Very reasonable. Sure enough, the older the ginger, the spicier it was, and all the disciples worshiped him one after another, completely forgetting that so long as the ward was triggered, their senior brother would be awakened and could come out himself.

Anyway, their senior brother was also one of the seven Kun-Lai Talents, and there was no shortage of opportunities to show his face to the Sect Leader.

“Then can more people go this time?” Another disciple asked.

“Of course.” The peak master was not able to win against all his junior brothers after all. And indeed, an elder from Taiyi Peak said, “If you have passed the second level of warding, you can go, and those who have passed the first level can also go watch on the sidelines.”

Instantly, there were countless cheers from everyone. The study of talisman seals and warding was divided into nine levels, the second level was basically entry-level, while the first level was still novice learning, and by the third level one could already participate in the construction of the flying peaks, though just on the less important parts.

However, this was based on Kun-Lai’s ultra-high standards. A disciple of the seventh level of the Kun-Lai Talisman Seals and Wards was already considered a “Grandmaster of Seals” and in the Central Continent, sects would come kneeling at their doors for help in constructing their mountain protection wards.

“But what about the other flying peaks under construction?” A disciple asked. If everyone went, then who would work on the more than a dozen flying peaks on the waitlist? They have to be shipped on time after all.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“They can wait!” The peak master dismissed contemptuously, “If they don’t agree, then they can build it themselves.”

The disciple tucked in his neck, others would misunderstand if they did this!

No one would provoke the Sect Leader, but that Senior Brother Feng would be attacked in dark corners at least hundreds of times by angry people from other peaks.
