Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 329 The Empty King of Luan Kingdom (Two in One)

Zhangguo, Gucheng.

Tianwen organization stronghold.

"The organization has confirmed that You Hou was indeed assassinated by Your Excellency."

"I don't know what you think about the reward for this assassination?
Should I replace it with jade or..."

Huang Lao asked tentatively.

Li Qiu pondered for a moment and said.

"I need the organization to help me find a defensive vitality technique."

"There are three requirements."

He held out two fingers.

"One is that the stronger the power, the better."

"Second, it is best to be able to defend without affecting the battle."

"Third, it's best not to have too many flaws, such as the kind of enemy that can't break the defense with one blow, but can try to bypass the defense and attack my defensive vitality."

Huang Lao frowned, a little hesitant.

"Your Excellency's first request is not difficult, that is, the second request and the third request..."

Li Qiu also knew that his second and third requirements were a bit harsh.

First of all, he is already at the phase of the magic form, and some defensive vitality skills are not suitable for the incomparably tall magic form, which eliminates a lot of defensive vitality skills.

Coupled with the need for the defensive vitality technique to be able to apply the same method without affecting the battle, the defensive vitality technique that meets the requirements is even rarer.

The defensive vitality technique revealed by Zhao Li whom he killed earlier fits these two points.

But after seeing the flaws in Zhao Li's vitality technique, he added a third requirement, not to have too many flaws, and not to use defensive vitality techniques that allow the enemy to bypass the defense.

Like Zhao Li's defensive vitality technique, although he couldn't smash the condensed animal shield with one hammer, he could blast it aside with one hammer, and then attack Zhao Li's method.

Its function is only to delay the time of the enemy's attack, which can be said to be very tasteless.

Adding up these points, there are probably not many defensive vitality techniques that meet his requirements in the whole world.

"I will use all this reward to ask the organization to find a defensive vitality technique that meets my requirements."

Li Qiu added.

The emperor's seal he obtained was carved from peerless jade.

The vitality of heaven and earth contained in it is enough for him to absorb it wantonly for a period of time.

Whether there is jade supply during the period has no effect on him.

"Thirty thousand gold..."

Huang Lao was also a little amazed at Li Qiu's handwriting.

"Since this is the case, the organization will try its best to find a defensive vitality technique that meets your three requirements."

"Thank you."

Li Qiu nodded, thanked him, and then asked.

"Is there a commission suitable for me?"

Huang Lao thought for a while and said.

"No."

Li Qiu frowned and continued.

"It is also possible to accept commissions that require the strength of the mid-term or late-stage Dharma phase."

Not long ago, he broke through the phase of the law, and his strength had a huge leap, and the assassination commissions that he could accept were naturally no longer limited to the early phase of the law.

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Huang Lao's pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Late-stage Dharma Phase?!"

He couldn't help wondering whether Li Qiu was wrong. In fact, he wanted to lower the standard for accepting commissions, and said that the middle stage of Lichen or the late stage of Lichen was the middle stage of Faxiang or the late stage of Faxiang.

But it seemed that Li Qiu didn't look like he was wrong.

"Your Excellency is talking about commissions that can only be accepted in the middle or late phase of the Dharma?"

Elder Huang asked again.

"Yes."

Li Qiu frowned slightly, and replied.

Huang Lao's eyes changed, and he pressed his heart to be shocked. On the surface, he remained calm and shook his head slowly.

"nor."

He took a careful look at Li Qiu's eyes that were only exposed under the bronze mask, and explained further.

"Your Excellency, you should know that the higher the assassin's strength, the rarer the assassination commission."

"Especially in the Dharma phase, or even the late phase of the Dharma phase."

The assassins who need the strength of the Fa Xiangqi usually assassinate the princes of the most powerful vassal states in the north, or the doctors and princes of the most powerful vassal states.

If these people were entrusted to assassinate every day, wouldn't those vassal states be in chaos long ago.

Li Qiu also knew this.

But when he heard that there was no entrustment, his face was still a little ugly.

He needs these commissions very much to obtain source power.

Huang Lao looked at Li Qiu who was thinking with his head down, and a look of panic and caution flashed in his eyes.

"Sure enough, the evaluation of this person by the people who organized the stronghold in Shuo country is correct."

"It is indeed a strong man with a strange temperament that makes people puzzled, and whose strength is unfathomable."

He didn't take this evaluation too seriously before, after all Li Qiu came from that small place in Shuo Kingdom.

It is guessed that Li Qiu's strength has reached the limit in the early stage of Faxiang.

But it has only been a few days, and the strength reported by Li Qiu has far exceeded that of the early stage of Faxiang, and has reached the late stage of Faxiang.

He didn't suspect that Li Qiu was telling lies.

Because Li Qiu had such an example before.

And it's meaningless to say such a lie, if he said that he had a commission, if he accepted it, he would kill himself, if he didn't accept it, he would be embarrassed on the spot and couldn't get off the stage.

Li Qiu said that he can also accept the commission of the middle or late stage of the law, so he probably does have the strength of the late stage of the law.

Qi refiners in the late stage of Faxiang can run rampant even in the entire north.

For a strong man of this level of strength, if he wanted to kill him, he would only be able to kill him in an instant.

And he still doesn't know if Faxiang's late stage is the limit of Li Qiu's strength.

After what happened today, he no longer dared to speculate on Li Qiu's true strength.

After thinking for a while, Li Qiu raised his head.

Huang Lao's expression immediately straightened.

"Old Huang, what major events are going to happen in the various princely states recently?"

Without a suitable entrustment for Fa Xiangqi, he can still pin his hope of obtaining the source of power on the identity of Daoist Qingfeng to see if there is any suitable Taoist Qingfeng to appear, mainly to help the righteousness and harvest the source of power by the way.

If there is no more, then he can only settle for the next best thing, and take on the commissions completed by assassins who are suitable for the strength of the Lichen period.

Although it might be a bit troublesome, I don't know how long it will take to complete a few commissions that can be worth a Dharma phase, but there is no choice.

"Your Excellency is welcome."

Elder Huang's address to Li Qiu changed quietly, and his attitude became slightly more respectful.

For a strong man who can kill him at will, he can't treat Li Qiu with the same attitude as before.

"Recently, there have indeed been several major events among the vassal states."

Huang Lao said while thinking back.

"The first thing has to do with Zhang Guo."

When Zhang Guo was mentioned, Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and he already guessed what Huang Lao Jiang was going to talk about.

Elder Huang said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know who Zhangguo offended, but within a few days someone spread the story of Zhanghou engraving the emperor's seal privately to the whole world."

"It provoked the princes and great powers in the south to be ready to move, wanting to send troops on behalf of the emperor to destroy Zhangguo.

It should be in the near future that Zhang Kingdom will be destroyed. "

Li Qiu suddenly felt that he had some kind of bad luck.

He was in Shuo country before, and Shuo country was almost destroyed by the red fire bandits.

It hasn't been long since we came to Zhangguo, and Zhangguo is about to face the catastrophe of subjugation.

But this time the Tianwen organization base does not need to be relocated.

Shuo Kingdom may be slaughtered in the face of the Red Fire Bandits, and there is a real danger of extinction.

There is no point in staying there without Rentianwen organization stronghold.

Zhangguo is about to face the conquest of a big country, at most it just changes the name of the country, and the common people and most of the nobles will be fine.

There are still people here, and there may still be commissions. There is no need for the Tianwen organization to relocate its base.

Li Qiu was thinking about the old Huang's saying that someone deliberately spread the story of Zhanghou engraving the emperor's seal privately in the world.

There are two people who know that Zhanghou privately engraved the jade seal of the emperor are still alive.

One is him who killed Huang Feng and Zhao Li to get the jade seal of the emperor, and the other is Wang Zhi who stole that jade seal from Zhang Palace.

He didn't do this, so it's obvious who did it.

Most likely, Wang Zhi wanted to take revenge on Zhanghou, Huang Feng and others, so he deliberately spread the story of Zhanghou's private engraving of the emperor's jade seal to the world, hoping to kill people with a knife.

Li Qiu thought about it, and felt that this matter was of no use to him.

His setting of Taoist Qingfeng's identity is to help the righteous party against the unrighteous party, and help the weak party against the strong party.

Although Zhang Guo and other great powers fit the latter, they do not fit the former, and both are unrighteous parties.

Because about Zhanghou's private engraving of the emperor's jade seal, others may not be sure whether it is true or not, but he knows it is true or not.

The emperor's jade seal, which is conclusive evidence, is in his hands.

This matter is true, the state of Zhang under the rule of Zhanghou is indeed rebellious and should be conquered.

In addition, the main reason is that the vassal states that conquered Zhang Kingdom on behalf of the emperor may be very powerful, and he cannot afford to provoke them for the time being.

Most of the great princes and princes will just send a general to lead troops to conquer Zhangguo.

He can probably deal with the general and the army he brought, but he can't deal with the great princes behind the general, and he will eventually bring great danger to himself.

"The second matter is related to Luan Guo." Huang Lao continued.

"Luan country?"

Li Qiu frowned slightly.

He had heard of this vassal state before, because of his particularity.

The vassal states are generally ruled by the princes canonized by the emperor. If the canonized princes die, their blood will inherit the position of the monarch.

And the vassal state of Luan State used to be ruled by vassals like other vassal states, but in recent decades, the Luan State King has been gradually overshadowed by the three noble forces of Luan State. Life can't leave Luan Palace at all.

In fact, this is also caused by the decline of the Jiang royal family and the collapse of the world.

The princes are canonized by the emperor, which in a sense represents the emperor.

Even if the vassals are cowardly and can be bullied, the nobles and officials of the vassal states dare not be presumptuous.

Because there is the emperor behind the princes to support them.

But after the power of the Jiang royal family weakened, the emperor no longer had the power to order the Quartet to frighten the world.

Some stupid princes only see the status of the emperor is declining day by day, maybe when they have a chance to win the world.

But he didn't see that even the emperor who was at the top of the class had lost his majesty and was no longer so feared and revered by others, let alone those princes who were below the emperor.

Although they are different from the Son of Heaven, they still hold the real power, but their power and influence will definitely not be as good as before, because there are no people backing them.

The relationship between the princes and the emperor is similar to the relationship between the nobles and the princes.

The aristocrats and officials saw that the princes were obsessed with the emperor who was in decline, and regarded him as nothing, and they really had the power to control a country.

It is difficult to guarantee that I will not associate myself with the princes from the princes and the emperor, and give birth to the idea of ​​whether I can also unite with other nobles and officials, overhead and ignore the princes, and control one side alone.

If in the past, capable princes encountered such courtiers, they would naturally be able to suppress or destroy them.

Don't be afraid if you are not capable, because the emperor is behind the princes to support him.

If any nobleman dared to empty the princes, the emperor issued an order to immediately send troops to conquer, kill the mastermind, and demote all his clansmen into slaves.

But if there is no support from the emperor, and the princes are weak and deceitful, with mediocre abilities, things like Luan will happen.

Decades ago, Luan Hunhou was such a vassal, who was gradually excluded by the two nobles of Luan Guo, Wu and Fan.

In the end, the Luan Kingdom was directly divided into two by the two nobles of Wu and Fan, and almost established a country within a country.

The Wu and Fan families were afraid that once they established a state, they might be targeted by some great princes and destroy them in the name of fighting rebellion for the emperor, so they never established a state and took the last step.

As for Luan Hunhou, who was left with only the name of the monarch, he fell into the hands of the slightly stronger Wu family of Wu and Fan, and became the puppet monarch under his control.

Luan Lihou was Luan Lihou after Luan Hunhou's death. Li and Hun were also given posthumous posthumous titles, meaning tyrannical without relatives and killing innocents. This posthumous title was also given by the Wu family.

Luan Lihou is actually a very capable monarch, but he has no real power and is helpless, so he can only be a puppet monarch just like Luan Huanhou.

In his middle age, Luan Lihou, who had been aggrieved for half his life, became depressed and went mad. During a banquet, he poisoned all his relatives and descendants, shouting in his mouth that I would rather kill all my relatives than I don't want them to be like me again, to be puppets in the hands of the Wu family, drinking a glass of poisoned wine and committing suicide.

This resulted in the severance of Luan Hou's bloodline, and the Luan Kingdom became even more existent in name only.

Over the next ten years, the Wu family and the Fan family attacked each other more fiercely. Both sides wanted to destroy the other and rule the Luan country, but they never succeeded.

Until now, the people of Luan Kingdom have also suffered from wars.

"Excuse me, Mr. Huang, what happened in Luan Kingdom?

Could it be that one of the Wu and Fan families won and finally unified the Luan Kingdom? "

Li Qiu guessed and asked.

Huang Lao shook his head.

"No, it's just that there are rumors that Luan Hou's bloodline has not been cut off.

It was rumored that a maid in Luan Palace had an affair with Luan Lihou's younger brother, Prince Chao.

When Young Master Chao was poisoned to death by Luan Lihou, the maid was pregnant without knowing it.

Later, when the maid found out that she was pregnant, she immediately found a way to leave Luan Palace, gave birth to the child incognito, and brought it up. "

And the only surviving blood of Luan Marquis is said to be in the Urn City, one of the dozens of cities under Luan Guofan's family. "

Both Wu and Fan's families have sent people to find the last Marquis Luan's blood in the urn, let him take the throne that has been vacant for more than ten years, and then control him. "

When Li Qiu heard about this, his expression changed immediately.

He saw an opportunity to gain power.
