Jiang Yushi did not follow Zhong Wen, but chose to return to Dajiang to join the frontier army.
But when leaving Fulong Empire, Zhong Wen still had one more person in his team.
The last Emperor Fulong, Ji Xiaoran!
Under Jiang Yushi's strong recommendation, Zhong Wen finally agreed to bring this "staff member" with him.
Before setting off, several people specially attended Ji Lieshen's enthronement ceremony. Looking at the loveless expression on the new emperor's face, Zhong Wen almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place and stumbled into someone else's funeral.
After leaving Fulong, the group went straight to the next destination, which was also Zhong Wen's last stop to visit relatives and friends.
Jingyu Empire!
Just because after Liu Qiqi was sucked away by the space gap, brothers Liu Sanque and Liu Siquan waited hard to no avail, so they had no reason to stay in the Daqian Empire, so they simply returned to the Jingyu Empire with Old Monster Ding. , began the reconstruction work of Si Cliff.
Zhong Wen went to Siduanya this time just to report that Liu Qiqi was safe to the Liu brothers.
Although he didn't know whether Liu Qiqi was safe now.
Perhaps meeting old acquaintances before the decisive battle was the real purpose of his trip.
Considering that Ji Xiaoran's cultivation level was really rubbish, and that although the Dongxu body was extremely powerful, it could not distinguish between friend and foe, Zhong Wen hesitated again and again, and finally took out a Xuan Tianzhu and forcibly raised his cultivation level to the spiritual level. Respect the realm.
A sick man who was out of breath after walking for a few steps suddenly turned into a strong and energetic spiritual boss. Ji Xiaoran felt like he was in another world. He couldn't help but marvel at Zhong Wen's methods and admire him endlessly. .
"This is……"
Not long after crossing the border, Zhong Wen was greatly surprised by the sight in front of him, "Jingyu Empire?"
The former border of the Jingyu Empire was a green grassland with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. It was coveted by successive emperors of the Fulong Empire and launched countless wars of aggression in order to plunder the land.
But what you see is a mess, everything is devastated, and where can you see the slightest bit of green?
Along the way, the situation did not improve at all, and even got worse. It can be said that the ground was full of hungry people, mourning people filled the fields, gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers.
Where is the beautiful Jingyu Empire?
It is clearly hell on earth!
"The Jingyu Empire has become like this."
Ji Xiaoran said calmly, "It's been more than a year."
"How did Jin Xi become the emperor?"
Looking at the rotting corpse of a child at his feet, Zhong Wen's face was gloomy, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
"Soon after Jin Xihe took the throne, he encountered a coup and was imprisoned in prison."
Ji Xiaoran replied patiently, "The current Emperor Jingyu is his distant uncle Jin Buwan."
"ha?"
Zhong Wen couldn't help being surprised, "So fast? Isn't that guy suffering from mental illness?"
"This person actually sees things very far."
Ji Xiaoran commented casually, "Unfortunately, due to bad luck, wandering around, weak character, and no way to control his subordinates, he has never been able to cultivate a reliable force of his own. Even when he became the emperor, he was restrained everywhere and found it difficult to convince the public. His subordinates The commander of the imperial army was easily bribed by that old fox Jin Buwan, and that's why he ended up like this."
"It is the emperor who is incompetent."
Zhong Wen was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed deeply, "It is the common people who are suffering."
"I never expected to hear such words from you."
Ji Xiaoran glanced at him, seemingly surprised.
"how?"
Zhong Wen was stunned for a moment, "Do I look like a cold-blooded and ruthless person?"
"how come?"
Ji Xiaoran shook his head and smiled, "I just didn't expect that a cultivator like you, who is comparable to a god, would actually waste his sympathy on ordinary people who have no cultivation."
"Ordinary people are human beings too."
Zhong Wen frowned and said rather unhappily.
"Zhong Wen, except for the same race."
Ji Xiaoran turned her head and stared into his eyes and said seriously, "These people have nothing to do with you."
"He is worthy of being an emperor."
Zhong Wen sneered and mocked, "Sure enough, he is cold-blooded and ruthless."
Seeing that he was resisting her words, Ji Xiaoran sighed softly and decisively chose to shut up and say nothing more.
For a long time after that, there was no verbal communication between the two, and wherever the team passed, the scenes became more and more horrific, so much so that Zhong Wen once wanted to block his daughter's eyes for fear that her young heart would be hurt. .
Even though he had seen so much, the moment he arrived at Siguo Cliff, the sight in front of him still greatly surprised him.
I saw a dark mass below the cliff, and it was actually densely packed with people. At a glance, there were thousands of people.
"You monster on the mountain, get out of this country!"
Each of these people had ferocious faces and angry faces. They held "weapons" such as kitchen knives, hoes, and fire sticks in their hands. Under the leadership of several leaders, they yelled at the top of their heads with murderous intent, as if they were thinking about crossing the cliff. It's like there's some deep hatred.
"civilian?"
Zhong Wen carefully observed the crowd and repeatedly confirmed it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but exclaimed.
Just because these people who aggressively surrounded Si Guoya were without exception ordinary people with no cultivation.
First, there was a group of weaklings who provoked Piaohua Palace, but now even civilians dare to come and cause trouble in Siguoya?
What's wrong with this world?
Zhong Wen's head felt a little bulging, and he felt that ever since he returned to the Three Saints Realm, everything was so unbelievable and unreasonable.
"Do you think it's incredible?"
Ji Xiaoran, who had not spoken for a long time, finally said, "How dare a group of ants clamor like this against the Holy Land."
"what are they doing?"
Zhong Wen said in confusion, "Even if Si Guo Ya declines, there are still top masters like the Liu brothers. Not to mention taking action, just one look can make these ordinary people die a hundred times, and they are all tired of living." Is it done?"
"It is precisely because they have no cultivation that it is inconvenient for them to take action."
A cold light flashed in Ji Xiaoran's eyes, and she replied in a deep voice, "As long as these people have a reincarnation cultivation level, they are already corpses on the ground at this moment."
"you mean……"
Zhong Wenruo realized something, "Are they a group of innocent people who were incited by others?"
"They are indeed common people, but are they innocent..."
Ji Xiaoran said meaningfully, "Ji only knows that since Jin Xihe stepped down, there have been rumors among the people that a group of demons came from Siguoya and used demonic methods to harm the country. The turmoil and war in the Jingyu Empire were all caused by worship. given by them.”
"I see. It's clearly because the Jin royal family is ineffective in governing, but they deliberately divert attention and shift the responsibility to Si Guoya?"
Zhong Wen's face could not help but darken, "But Siguoya is the Holy Land of Jingyu Empire, and the Liu brothers are serious Holy Land elders, why don't they come forward to clarify?"
"Once the emotions of the masses are stirred up, it doesn't matter what the truth is."
Ji Xiaoran patiently explained, "Besides, ordinary people have no chance to meet the elders of the Holy Land. Even if the Liu brothers come forward in person, no one will recognize them."
"What a conspiracy!"
Zhong Wen was silent for a moment and said sincerely, "Is this the Jin Buwan you are talking about?"
"Jin Buwan knew that his position was unfair. After hearing the news about the Liu brothers' reconstruction of Siguo Cliff, he must have been worried that the Holy Land would seek liquidation from him. From a motive point of view, it should be this person without a doubt."
Ji Xiaoran thought for a while and said, "But as far as I know, he is an arrogant, extravagant, uneducated and ignorant person. He definitely does not have such a clever method. It is probably a trick of his staff."
"In the Jin family..."
Zhong Wen suddenly asked, "Is there anyone suitable to be the emperor?"
"You want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Jingyu Empire?"
Ji Xiaoran was slightly moved, "I'm afraid it's not a wise move."
Zhong Wen turned to look at him, his eyes as cold as ice, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"As you can see, these ordinary people are not kind and weak people. They are selfish, ignorant, biased, and not good at thinking. Once they are carried away by their emotions, they often do unreasonable things."
Ji Xiaoran said in astonishment, "What they can hear and see is the information that those in power want them to know. Their humble status prevents them from accessing any truth. They can only become the sword in the hands of the superiors and the food in their mouths." , not to mention whether these people are worth saving, even if you replace them with an emperor, it is just a last resort to treat a headache and a sore foot. It will take more than three or five days to solve the country's ills. We can do it, we don’t have that much time.”
"Why don't I know there's not enough time?"
Zhong Wen's expression was gloomy, and after a long while he sighed and said, "But Liu Sanque is my father-in-law. You can't just watch him being harassed by a group of ordinary people all day long, right? Since you don't sit on the throne, you must If you want to come and serve as my staff, then come up with an idea!"
"I see. If you just want to help Liu Sanque stabilize the situation, that would be easy."
Ji Xiaoran suddenly realized it, gently waved the jade fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "There is no need to change the emperor at all. An incompetent person like Jin Buwan is actually the easiest to control. As long as you give him enough fear, he will naturally be obedient. , the person who unties the bell will be the one who ties the bell."
"you mean……"
Zhong Wen stroked his chin, his eyes still confused, "You want me to scare him?"
"No, it's impossible for you and me to stay here for a long time."
Ji Xiaoran shook his head gently, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "The object of his fear must be Si Guoya."
