Zhou Xing had never hated someone so much, and he had never thought that one person could calmly plot so many people into his pawns. He hated the feeling of being deceived, and he hated the feeling of being played like a fool by the other party. Of course, Han Yan's death made him hate it even more deeply.
As an otaku from another world, the worst, most insidious and cunning person he could imagine was not as bad as Shen Xiu, and he couldn't understand why Shen Xiu wanted to involve the Han family when he was just dealing with Jia Zhi. Are all the living lives just numbers or irrelevant in your eyes, Shen Xiu? He can't blame a person for being willing to sacrifice the lives of others for the sake of superiority.
After Zhou Xing had been exercising for a long time, he suddenly stopped and thrust his palms forward into the open space. The giant python mixed with fine sand and gravel let out a roar and rolled forward, causing an echo in the pine forest on the hillside. .
"Bah, bang, bang." A lonely burst of applause sounded behind him, "This brother has such handsome kung fu."
Zhou Xing stopped the physical exercise when he noticed someone approaching. He turned around and saw a young man named Zhou, who was less than thirty years old, standing a few feet away, holding a lotus leaf bag in one hand. He was cooking roast chicken and holding a pot of wine in one hand, looking cynical.
Zhou Xing recognized this person. He was Chen Rong of Wujun, the leader of the three heroes of Hongdu.
As soon as he arrived here, he vaguely felt that someone was following him behind him. Later, he appeared once. He didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that this person turned out to be Chen Rong.
"Brother, I came to visit the mountains and rivers today, and I unexpectedly met a Zhou Xing like you. It seems that today is really auspicious." Chen Rong said with a familiar look and walked towards Zhou Xing with a smile. , "I wonder what I call this brother?"
"I recognize you. Your name is Chen Rong, and you are one of the three heroes of Hongdu." Zhou Xing said coldly, wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeves.
Chen Rong looked surprised when he heard what he said. He rubbed the back of his right index finger holding the wine bottle under the tip of his nose and said with a smile: "I didn't expect someone to recognize me, Chen Rong, in such a remote place." , it’s really a pleasure to meet you.”
"I recognize you, but you don't recognize me. How lucky are you to meet me." Zhou Xing has been in a low mood these past few days, without the enthusiasm of the past. "Tell me, why are you here today."
Chen Rong rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his index finger again, and he was not angry at all about Zhou Xing's cold attitude: "It seems that the owner of this place has expected that I will come here, so I will open the skylight and speak out. That day I happened to hear what you yelled at the sky, and to be honest, I wanted to fuck Shen Xiu all the time."
"I have heard about the grudge between you and Shen Xiu." Zhou Xing did not change his expression at all after hearing this, "But I just want to kill Shen Xiu alone."
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Chen Rong no longer looked cynical. He said solemnly: "If Shen Xiu was easy to kill, he would have been killed countless times. No matter how much you cultivated than Zhou Xing, after all, We are alone and weak. Wouldn’t one more person give us more strength?”
"I said that if I kill him alone, I can kill him alone, no matter how many people are around him." Although Zhou Xing's words were not loud, they contained undoubted strong confidence.
Once bitten, twice shy.
After being cheated by Shen Xiu once, he was very repelled by this kind of alliance. What's more, he is confident enough and confident that he is strong enough to kill Shen Xiu.
Chen Rong watched him walk past him coldly, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief. When he came, he prepared many incriminating cases, but he never expected that this young man would assassinate Shen Xiu on his own without asking for an alliance.
This guy is either crazy or crazier than crazy.
Seeing Zhou Xing's back disappearing behind the gate, Chen Rong still shouted reluctantly: "You really don't need my help?"
Zhou Xing paused, turned to Chen Rong and said, "I would be very grateful if you could provide me with a map of Shen Xiu's house."
Some are happy and some are sad.
Unlike Zhou Xing, who had been depressed and sad these days, Shen Xiu was in high spirits these days. Since that day when he killed Sikong Zhang Hua and Shangshu Ling Pei Wei on the spot, all the officials were so shocked that no one dared to stand up to oppose him. He personally ordered Zhao Wang Huangfulun to serve as envoy Chijie, chief governor, supervising all military affairs at home and abroad, prime minister, minister, and Wang Ruzhi. He promoted Zhang Bu, Guo Mo and other monks from poor families who played a great role in this coup. He completely gained control of the army inside and outside Shangluo, and deposed the three public officials and nine ministers. He also pretended to declare himself the Duke of Guangling County, and for a while, everyone looked at him with suspicion.
For Huangfu Yun, the king of Huainan who had not had time to leave the city and return to the vassal state that day, Shen Xiu also promoted him and made him a hussar general, and also led the central guard army. After all, he is the son of Emperor Wu of Jin. If there is no son of Emperor Wu of Jin, no one will be able to pass the position of assistant to the government.
As for the King of Qi Huangfu Zhuo who raised the army together, Shen Xiu also promoted him and named him General Pingdong, Jiejie, and the governor of Xuchang. By doing this, he was equivalent to expelling King Qi from the center.
With his current power, there are countless monks who come to visit him every day and give him gifts. Every day, the entrance of Shen's Mansion is like a market, with crowds of people vying to deliver business cards to Shen's Mansion, for fear that if they are delivered late, those good and fat jobs will be snatched away by others.
On the contrary, the front door of Taiwei's Mansion in Situ Mansion, which used to be crowded with people, was now extremely deserted, without the lively scene of people coming and going in the past. Even in front of Prince Zhao's Mansion, as the Prime Minister, it was far less lively than in front of Shen's Mansion. Everyone knows that finding King Zhao is of little use. Shen Xiu is the key figure who can determine a person's position.
Shen Xiu likes the feeling these days very much, likes this wonderful feeling of having power over the world. Although he is very busy every day, he is so busy that he can hardly take time to rest. These days, he only rests for one to two hours every day, but he is still energetic and full of emotions. In the past few days, he didn't know how many official positions he had been sealed off. He only knew that his arms were sore and swollen from just stamping them every day.
Holding the emperor hostage to command the princes, Shen Xiu would think of this sentence every time he stood up to move when he felt pain in his back and arms and was reminded of Emperor Wu of Zhou.
It turns out that the feeling of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes is so wonderful. What's even more wonderful is that this emperor is almost a fool, which is different from Emperor Shang Xian who was smart since childhood.
Emperor Wu of Zhou created an era back then. Could it be that I, Shen Xiu, can also create an era?
Every time she thought of this, Shen Xiu would burst into laughter, and her heart would become even more heroic.
What Emperor Wu of Zhou did, why can't I, Shen Xiu, do it?
As usual today, he worked in the palace and came home very late. Even though it was past midnight, there were still many people sitting densely in front of his house. When these people saw the vehicle he was riding in, they immediately stood up and cheered him with great excitement.
"Lord Shen, you must pay more attention to rest. Don't work so hard on court affairs that your body is exhausted."
"Yes, the imperial court cannot do without Mr. Shen, and the world of Jin Dynasty cannot do without Mr. Shen."
"Master Shen, you are good at everything but not good at all. That is because you don't care about your body too much."
Shen Xiuduan was sitting in the car, smiling and waving to the people who had been standing on both sides to avoid his path. Although he didn't know any of these people, he was very concerned about his image in front of others.
The carriage stopped at the door of Shen's mansion. He got off the Qinggai carriage, waved to everyone again, and then turned around and entered the gate.
"Bang." With a sound, Shen Xiu's figure disappeared behind the closed door. At the same time, everyone who was originally smiling almost unanimously lost their smiles.
"Fuck, the villain has his way." Someone whispered in the darkness.
When Shen Xiujin came to the house, the housekeeper immediately came forward to report to him various things in the house today. Shen Xiu walked towards the study while listening to the butler's report. This housekeeper has been with him for many years. His cultivation level is not very good, he is only a sixth-grade cultivator. But Shen Xiu was very satisfied with how this person handled the general affairs. In addition, this person had always been loyal to Shen Xiu, and he was cautious in his words and deeds. He didn't listen to what he shouldn't listen to, and didn't say what he shouldn't say. This made Shen Xiu very satisfied. Show satisfaction. He had just appointed the steward's son as the county magistrate the day before yesterday. At that time, the steward was so moved that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Xiu several times, and he worked even harder with all his heart.
The two of them entered the brightly lit study room. The housekeeper closed the door, then thoughtfully took off Shen Xiu's coat and hung it behind the screen. As soon as he walked around the screen, he suddenly saw a man standing there quietly holding a long sword. Before he could make a sound, the tip of the man's long sword had already reached his neck. He could feel the sword light emerging from the tip of the opponent's sword piercing the skin on his neck and stopping just in front of his throat.
He immediately judged in his heart that this man's swordsmanship was abnormal. He wanted to scream, but he was afraid that the tip of the opponent's sword would cut his throat instantly. At this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his Adam's apple moved up and down nervously.
"Is it Zhou Xing?" As soon as there was movement behind the screen, Shen Xiu naturally noticed it due to his profound cultivation. He is also extraordinary, his expression has not changed at all, and his voice is still calm and calm, just like before.
The man knocked the housekeeper unconscious with one palm, and then emerged from behind the screen, but it was not Zhou Xing.
Shen Xiu immediately saw the anger that was about to burst out of Zhou Xing's eyes, and was even more surprised at how fast this person was practicing. With his cultivation as a fourth-grade top monk, he didn't even notice the other person's aura after entering the door. This is such a powerful breath-containing cultivation.
Dragons can be big or small, hidden or visible. Zhou Xing has been practicing until now, and one of the several corresponding talents he has obtained is the ability to hide aura.
He was secretly shocked. Facing the gleaming sword in Zhou Xing's hand, a warm smile appeared on his face, "Where have you been these days? Do you know how many people I have sent to look for you?"
"Are you looking for me?" Zhou Xing was really surprised to see the other party like this. He originally thought that the other party was yelling, but he raised the knife and dropped it. But he didn't expect that the other party would actually see him holding a sword and look like he wanted to have a chat with him holding a candle, "Catch me."
"Catch you?" Shen Xiu laughed a few times as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and then said again, "You are my proudest student and the student I value most. It's not too late for me to cherish you. How could I arrest you?"
"Fart!" Zhou Xing was furious when he heard Shen Xiu's words, "From the beginning to the end, you were using me and trying to trick me."
"How could I be willing to cheat you," Shen Xiu continued to say calmly without getting angry, "I cheated that woman Jia Zhi."
"Shen Xiu, you are really capable of telling lies. The whole world owes you the title of Best Actor." Zhou Xing laughed angrily, "Didn't you tell me the truth in the palace?"
"That was purely a coincidence." When Shen Xiu heard the word "actor", Shen Xiu frowned slightly. She didn't know what it meant, but she was not slow at all, "My original design was just to use your pure Spiritual power, I didn’t expect you to pretend to be Huang Fumi.”
Seeing Zhou Xing's unmoved look, he changed the subject and said, "This matter is in the past. I'm very happy to see that you are safe and sound. Now is the time for me to employ people, Zhou Xing, Are you willing to work with me? You are a destined person, born to be extraordinary, and I am very optimistic about you. The situation is so good now. I can decide the affairs of the court. You and I, master and disciple, will join hands to create a new world. A great undertaking. What do you think?"
"Humph, a big cause?" Zhou Xing sneered, "What big cause?"
When Shen Xiu heard his words, her expression perked up and her voice became excited. "Zhou Xing, let's take you as an example. With your qualifications as a destined person, you should enjoy the best resources. Look, how many days have passed since you started practicing, and you have already reached such a state. This is How shocking. But the problem is, you have wasted so many years. If you had started practicing since you were young, I am afraid that in our Jin Dynasty, there would have been a man of destiny like the previous Saint Kong. But why Why would you waste so many years?"
"Resources, everything is a question of resources." Shen Xiu paused, and then said in a louder voice with an extremely solemn expression, "It's not that you, Zhou Xing, are unwilling to practice, but that you, Zhou Xing, simply don't have the resources to practice."
"But the territory of Dajin is so vast, and the products of Dajin are so rich. Dajin can produce countless spiritual valleys and spiritual fruits every year. But who takes advantage of these outputs?" Shen Xiu stared at it seriously. Zhou Xing opened his eyes, waved his arms and said loudly, "They have been occupied by people from the Zhou family. Countless people from families with mediocre qualifications have consumed a lot of spiritual valley resources, and countless people like you, Zhou Xing, have been Talent, but suffers from lack of resources and does not have the opportunity to practice. Zhou Xing, don’t you think this is the greatest injustice in the world? Don’t you want to change all this?”
The more Shen Xiu spoke, the more passionate his voice became, and the more powerful his arm movements became. He had already ignored the sword in Zhou Xing's hand and started walking back and forth in the room without stopping at all.
"Zhou Xing, you know, I had a dream a long time ago!"
