Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

"Qian Yun and Cen Shu are staying. I plan to go back to Beiliang with Tang Wan, and then go to Longhu Mountain with the Taoist priest. Xu Xuan will also follow."

In Liu Gong's mansion, Zhou Li placed the tea cup in front of the old man, poured a cup of tea and asked, "Mr. Liu, we are passing by on the way to Beijing, do you want to go together?"

"No."

Liu Gong shook his head, took the tea, drank it all and said, "I have to wipe the butt of my troubled son-in-law. He won't be able to leave for a while."

"above?"

Zhou Li pointed his finger.

"if not?"

Liu Gong glanced at Zhou Li, sighed and said: "This boy is so free and easy. He went to the Demon Palm Division himself to take all the blame. He even threw the python robe and seal of the King of Han at the Demon Palm Division. The poor people were so frightened that they had to kneel down before Zhu Gaoxu. He was so free and easy, but who didn't know that no one could punish him for his crimes? No one in the world would dare to punish him except the emperor. Prince Han, who has great military achievements.”

"Then finally..."

Zhou Li asked tentatively.

"I."

Liu Gong pointed at himself and smiled as if he was a tool. "I'm used to it. Good things don't always happen, and bad things happen even if you can't see them. In two days, I have to go to the Sanfa Division for trial. Zhu Gaoxu’s case of dereliction of duty, colluding with monsters, and colluding with the enemy to secretly deliver spiritual treasures. "

"this···"

Zhou Li touched his chin and said with some surprise: "The referees are all mine, why do you fight me?"

"It means the same thing."

Liu Gong waved his hand, "Okay, you can go when you need to go. There are too many things for you to worry about in the Thirteenth City of the North Ring Road, which is a bit too much. After you go back and find Lao Huang, tell him, Liu Gong said He has picked it up. A man with half a body can meet such a good student. His life is really good. "

Liu Gong's admiration for the old scholar was beyond words, and he even uttered a rare curse word in the end. For masters like them, it is a great blessing to meet such a talented student at an age when they know their destiny. Not to mention that Zhou Li doesn't have the common problem of ordinary geniuses - pride.

Zhou Li has always been humble. Others say he is a gentleman, but he thinks he is a beast. Others say he is talented, but he says he is like a beast. Others say he is indomitable and as firm as iron, but he says this is how animals have no brains. Many people wanted to praise him and kill him, but as soon as Zhou Li was praised, he immediately taught a lesson to those who praised him.

Steamed buns, do you have any opinions on Beiliang's absolutely yellow beast?

Liu Gong had a very good sense of Zhou Li. On the one hand, he saved Taiying and his son-in-law in a sense. After all, the Golden Snake Lady was already beyond the control of the King of Han at that time. If the Golden Snake Lady's plan really succeeded, no one in the world except a demon god would be able to satisfy the anger of the Han King.

On the other hand, this kid Zhou Li is as courageous as heaven, but as small-minded as a golden snake (self-proclaimed). Such a person has a smart mind, a minimal bottom line, and a heart that matches the bottom line. Zhou Li Li is destined to be a big shot in the future.

And the most important thing is...
"This is a secret that is not told in the Tang Sect."

Zhou Li glanced around, secretly put the cloth bag that Tang Wan had mailed to him into Liu Gong's hand, and whispered: "Half a bag is enough, it is durable and can be used for kicking Cuju, so you can use it with confidence. "

"Ahem... I do have some research on pharmacology. Since it is a Tang Sect medicine, I have to study it carefully."

Liu Gong coughed twice to hide his expression, put away the bag calmly, and said happily: "Xiao Zhou, you know the world very well."

"That's because you have been teaching me so well these days."

Zhou Li's smile was very hypocritical, but it made people feel comfortable.

"Haha, it's a shame that you don't want to hang out in the officialdom."

Liu Gong shook his head and said with regret: "When you lower your head and tilt your head, your face is really just right."

"That's what the old scholar said about me."

Zhou Li cupped his hands and asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, can I take the liberty to ask?"

"How to say?"

Liu Gong asked.

"Has your son returned to Beijing to report on his work?"

Zhou Li's words made the teacup Liu Gong originally raised stiffen in front of his chest.

The decoration of Liu Gong's residence is very ordinary, which is completely opposite to his style in Shangjing Taixue. The main seat Liu Gong sat on was just a wooden chair, an ordinary wooden chair.

After a long while, Liu Gong took a sip of the bitter tea in the cup and asked calmly: "When did you find out?"

"Tangman Zhang's death is too coincidental."

Zhou Li sat in front of Liu Gong, his flattery gone, replaced by a kind of indifference. He took the teacup beside him, poured himself a cup of bitter tea and drank it in one gulp.

"that's it?"

Liu Gong raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You're a little anxious."

Zhou Li shook his head and continued: "Ma Chenglong's role in this incident is too strange. He is your son, but what he did was of no importance. He was very powerful but did not show half of it. He did He spent a lot of time, but did nothing. He just died in an accidental coincidence. It’s so strange, don’t you think?”

Liu Gong didn't say anything, but raised his teacup to signal Zhou Li to continue speaking.

“And the most important thing.

After finishing his words, Zhou Li placed the imperial gold medal on the table, pushed it in front of Liu Gong, and said with a smile:

"I have never met the emperor."

Yes, Zhou Li has never met the emperor.

"You don't respect the imperial authority."

After a long time, Liu Gong smiled. His smile was a little strange, as if he was happy for Zhou Li, but also seemed to be feeling trapped. He shook his head and said, "Yes, you have never met the emperor. So your instinctive reaction is that the emperor cannot trust you."

If the entire Taiying was turned into a plate, there would be a total of four forces on the plate.

Among them, the most powerful and cutting-edge was the King of Han, who had absolute suppressive power. His power is the entire Thirteen North Ring Cities, and every part of the city is engraved with the seal of the King of Han. Using force to suppress others is the sharpest knife and the best expression of the power of the King of Han.

Secondly, there is Mrs. Golden Snake. Mrs. Golden Snake is more like a bowl of water, seeping into the entire Taiying, everywhere but pervasive. Her role in the whole incident was definitely not to confront the King of Han head-on, but the sword might be able to cut off the water, but it could not stop the water. Therefore, even though the King of Han was sinking with great force, Lady Golden Snake was able to outsmart him with her skill.

Finally, it was Zhou Li.

What is he?

Yes, he is a pure stinker. He is very self-aware, and in a competitive battle, he is not as good as the Three Thousand Battalion. When it comes to conspiracy, he has no way to fight against the old Silver Coin Golden Snake Lady who has been running it for more than 20 years. Therefore, he chose a path that neither the King of Han nor the Golden Snake Lady had ever imagined.

Maggots in the dung sea.

Zhou Li has a huge advantage over the two, that is, he has no power and no roots in Taiying, so he has no scruples. He can easily blow Taiying into the sky, or he can perform a wonderful dung sea mad maggot. Anyway, just pat your butt and leave when the time comes. If you are not convinced, you can come to Beiliang and experience the same death method of Gui Daozi.

This time, Zhou Li stirred up the shit very happily and comfortably, but there was always a weird feeling when Zhou Li stirred up shit. Just like a person wiping his mouth with a spoon after coming out of the toilet. It is obviously fine to take them out alone, but when combined together, there is always an indescribable feeling.

Later, when Zhou Li had his first contact with Jin Yiwei, he realized what he had overlooked.

Emperor.

Whether it is the King of Han or Lady Golden Snake, their foundation is not actually the Three Thousand Battalions or the Thirteen Cities of the Northern Ring.

It's the emperor.

In the final analysis, the rights of the King of Han and the three thousand camps were given to him by the emperor. The inaction of the Demon Master was also secretly granted by the emperor. Zhou Li did not believe that if the emperor wanted to interfere with Mrs. Golden Snake, someone would secretly interfere. You know, today Zhu Gaochi knows the imperial court very well. How could one of the Thirteen North Ring Cities stir up such a turmoil as the Golden Snake Lady without his instruction?
And the most important thing is that Yu Shao gave him the imperial gold medal at that time, which proved that the emperor could not be ignorant of things in Taiying. And the emperor cannot easily believe in himself. Therefore, the emperor, the most important force, must have a nail strong and firm enough to nail Taiying to bring everything under his control.

In Taiying, there is only one person worthy of this nail.

"Dear Imperial Censor, I would like to salute you."

This time, Zhou Li bowed to Liu Gong respectfully and without any mistakes.

Liu Gong readily accepted.

"So, what did His Majesty the Emperor say this time?"

Zhou Li raised his head and smiled like a little fox.

"Huh~ I didn't expect that it was you who noticed."

Liu Gong smiled, waved his hands in relief, and said, "Okay, no need to pretend to be like me here. I still don't know who you are? Tell me why you have a showdown with me."

"showdown?"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment.

"Still pretending?"

After sneering, Liu Gong stood up, walked to Zhou Li, and said: "You are not an idiot. You understand that it is safest to keep the fact that I am the emperor's censor in your stomach. But you chose to leave before Show your cards to me and put this matter out in the open. There must be your Xiao Jiujiu. Tell me, what do you want? "

Zhou Li was speechless. Today he came to see Liu Gong. He was the only one, and it could only be him. He stared at Liu Gong blankly for a long time, then smiled helplessly.

"I can't hide it from you."

With his hands hanging down, Zhou Li looked at Liu Gong, his expression still calm and half-smiling. But at this time, there was a little more depth and solemnity in his eyes.

"Mr. Liu, I just want to ask you, is the King of Han dead or alive?"

Liu Gong didn't answer immediately, he just walked to the bookshelf nearby silently. He stretched out his hand, casually took out an album, threw it in front of Zhou Li, and said:

"have a look."

Zhou Li picked up the album from the table, opened it and started reading.

119,765 people died

6,932 people were slightly injured
1,695 people seriously injured

The sixth, ninth and thirty-second Jinyi Guards were all killed, a total of ninety-six people.
The third, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth teams were all killed during the night, a total of 169 people.

The labor and financial resources were one hundred and thirty million, seven hundred and ninety-five thousand six thousand six hundred and seventy-three hundred and twenty taels of silver.

····
Looking at the shocking numbers above, Zhou Li took a deep breath, looked at Liu Gong in front of him, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said, "Death?"

"What do you think?"

Liu Gong did not answer, but gave Zhou Li a meaningful look and asked, "Do you think the casualties and supplies here are not enough for the King of Han to die willingly?"

"Do you think the King of Han won? Did he cut off the demon clan's life and their future?"

The two of them felt like Mount Tai was pressing down on the entire Taiying. At this moment, Liu Gong was no longer the calm and indifferent old man. Now he was the most deadly and dazzling sword.

Emperor's Sword.

"Whoo~"

Zhou Li took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then he put the album aside respectfully and said:

"Mr. Liu, let me be clear with you. I don't care what happens to the King of Han. He deserves it whether he lives or dies. Mrs. Golden Snake accepted death happily, and he will not lose his status. However, I just want to ask One thing, I want to ask you, I want to ask Qianyun’s grandpa, I want to ask... His Majesty the Emperor.”

"Zhu Qianyun, how will you be dealt with?"

The air was as heavy as death.

Silence spread throughout the room, and the light from the window scattered randomly on the ground, but avoided the old and the young. The two looked at each other like this, as if they were confronting each other, and they seemed to be talking. There was a strange tacit understanding.

"This battle has depleted all the dragon veins and spiritual energy sources in the thirteen cities of the North Ring. Originally, the King of Han wanted to use the fate of the demon clan to re-grow them all, but unfortunately... now the entire North Ring is struggling to survive. In another month, , the spiritual spring will completely dry up, the thirteen northern cities will be barren of grass, and everything will die."

For a long time, Liu Gong closed his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Qianyun has the blood of the black dragon, which can protect the spiritual spring and dragon veins. As long as she chooses to live in Taiying forever, she can combine the dragon veins of the thirteen cities in the North Ring with Once all the spiritual springs are restored, the King of Han will be able to live, and she can inherit the throne of Han and continue to live."

"You are her grandfather."

Zhou Li looked directly at Liu Gong and said word by word: "What is the difference between this and imprisonment?"

"If the King of Han loses his bet, he must willingly accept the fate of failure."

Liu Gong stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "In terms of love, I naturally don't want this kind of prison-like life to happen to Qianyun. But for Beiliang, for Shangjing, for Taiying, and for Beihuan Shi There are tens of millions of people in the three cities, and I have to do all this."

"Zhou Li, don't stop me, and don't try to rescue Qianyun."

Stretching out his hand, he gently pressed on Zhou Li's shoulder. The old man's eyes were full of tiredness, but more importantly, he could not break his determination.

"Otherwise, you are an enemy of me and an enemy of Ming Dynasty."

"Till death do we rest." (End of chapter)
