"Master Hou is back."
"Hongying, I've been away for a few days. Is everything okay at home?" Luo Xing asked.
"It's okay. There are just a lot of people who came over and said they wanted to see the Marquis. I told them that the Marquis is cultivating and won't see guests for the time being."
"Well, bring me the greeting card and let me take a look." Luo Xing nodded. It was normal for martial arts practitioners to retreat into seclusion, so this excuse was reasonable.
Besides, when he is in this position, he is already free whether he sees anyone or not.
Moreover, he has basically no dealings with officials in the DPRK and China. Most of those who submitted letters to pay homage probably came here to take advantage of him because they saw that he was gaining power.
The speculators are gone.
In addition to these people, there were also some wealthy businessmen from Yangzhou in the invitation. After they learned that Luoxing Yangzhou's official position of "acting governor" was still retained, they all wanted to go back and get their property back. Naturally, he came to pay homage to his father-in-law in Yangzhou.
These people want to meet, but they need to consider who they will meet and who they will not meet. After all, they haven't figured out who they are yet.
"Draw up a list of these people and give it to Yurou and ask her to check the details of these people." Luo Xing told Hai Lanzhu.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
"You will handle this kind of incident in the future." Luo Xing said, "Since Your Majesty continues to ask me to be the acting governor of Yangzhou, then I will reluctantly continue to do it."
Originally, Luo Xing was only regarded as a temporary worker without any long-term considerations. Now it seems that Emperor Yongxi wants to officially appoint him as the governor of Yangzhou.
However, this appointment has never been made, which shows that there is still a lot of resistance between the DPRK and China, especially the civil servant group.
The governor is a high-ranking official in the border areas, usually a civilian official, and the power of recommendation lies with Zhongshu Province. In the past, the emperor considered the special circumstances of Yangzhou and asked Luo Xing to take charge of it. The civil servants could tolerate it for a while, but now Yangzhou has been effectively taken over. .
If a Yinggu from Nanya is appointed as the governor, will he be able to govern the place?
The problem now is Luo Xing's origin.
Emperor Yongxi could appoint Luo Xing as acting governor, but if he wanted to make a formal appointment, it must be reviewed by the Menxia Province. The Menxia Province had the power to refute the emperor's will, but generally the Menxia Province would not directly confront the emperor. If they disagreed , you can use procrastination.
To reject it directly would be to slap the emperor in the face and force the emperor to change someone else.
The servant under the sect is Cai Jin. Cai Jin is the uncle of the eldest prince. The sacred land of Yangzhou is naturally a place of competition.
Naturally, the eldest prince and the third prince's lineage are fiercely competing. It can be said that everyone wants the position of governor. The problem is that Luo Xing has a bad relationship with Concubine Su, who is behind the third prince. The third prince is obviously at a disadvantage.
The relationship between Luo Xing and the fourth prince is very good. Although the fourth prince's mother and concubine are from humble backgrounds, he now has a hot father-in-law.
Of course, rumors about the "Tongxin Gu" in the fourth prince are spreading everywhere, and there are variables in the marriage between the fourth prince and Qin Hongtiao...
The fourth prince is still banned in the palace, and outsiders cannot understand his situation. If the poison of the "Tongxin Gu" cannot be eliminated, the fourth prince will have no choice but to marry the daughter of the remnant of the previous dynasty, and he will never have a chance.
If the Fourth Prince can unlock the poison of "One Heart Gu", then he will become one of the powerful contenders for that position.
But everyone in the world knows that there is no solution to the "Tongxin Gu", so it is determined that the fourth prince is basically out of the game, and after Qin Chong becomes a prince, he will relinquish military power...
Among the adult princes, it is difficult to say which one Emperor Yongxi prefers. The second prince is obsessed with martial arts and has little foundation in the court. He can become the next pillar of the royal family, but it is unlikely that he will become the emperor.
The eldest prince and the third prince are both powerful competitors.
The two princes have been fighting since childhood and have been fighting for many years. Each has its own victory or defeat, but it is hard to say who will win in the end.
In Luo Xing's view, Emperor Yongxi was just raising Gu. As long as it was his own son, it would be the same no matter who became the emperor.
It is the best way to select the most powerful one through their own competition, provided that they cannot threaten him, who is the boss.
Emperor Yongxi was not yet in his twilight years, and his control over the affairs of the court was very powerful. This victory, in particular, pushed his prestige to a higher level.
For at least ten years, Southern Chu will not dare to invade the North again.
As for the Southern Expedition, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but although Nanchu was defeated this time, his vitality was not injured, and Nanchu had a powerful naval force. This force used to operate in the South China Sea, mainly for the safety of the waterways in the Western Continent. .
If this power is recovered, the Great Zhou navy will not be able to fight back at all.
Unless Zhou Dynasty could build a navy to compete with it, going south to attack Chu could only remain in imagination.
Emperor Yongxi is not stupid.
If the Southern Chu clans were not powerful enough to check each other, and if they really devoted all their strength to the Northern Expedition, they might really be able to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But this is only a possibility. The power on land is still much stronger than that of Dazhou, especially the smelting technology of Dazhou, which Nanchu does not have.
Smelting and forging technology determines the quality of military industry, and Nanchu is not weak in this aspect.
Emperor Yongxi has always been ambitious and wanted to unify the Eastern Continent. However, his ambition also required strength. Without enough strength, it would be a joke to even think about doing this.
Now it seems that Emperor Yongxi is just a conservative king at best.
The problem is that Luo Xing doesn't know how long he will be an official. He is now deeply involved in the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty.
I'm afraid it's very difficult to live a happy life in the countryside.
But if he goes to Yangzhou and becomes a governor with a high mountain and a distant emperor, it would be a good choice. He has no ambition.
Being an emperor, haha, is too tiring and tiring. There are a lot of worries every day. It would be better to travel around and have tea and drink every day.
However, people always have to have something to do. Otherwise, even if they play every day, they will sometimes get bored.
Originally, his goal was to break away from Nanya.
Now it seems that this goal is within reach. It does not require merit points or extraordinary. In fact, it depends on the altitude where you see the problem.
Many things that people cannot do in their lifetime may be solved with just one sentence. But when you get to that position, you will find that the problem is very simple, but if you can't reach it, it will be an insurmountable gap.
Everyone knows the truth, but it is difficult to actually do it.
What exactly do you need next? People have their own goals at each stage. When one goal is achieved, they need to find the next goal.
Extraordinary may be his next goal, but this goal does not seem difficult for him to achieve...
"Hai Lanzhu, tell me about your hometown and people?" Luo Xing asked Hai Lanzhu. Maybe one day he would take a boat overseas or even go to the Western Continent.
Life is very long, and when you are very poor and bored, you may build a big boat and go out to sea, taking your family with you to travel around the world.
This might be nice, away from the strife and troubles of the world.
"Master Marquis, my people had to go to sea to avoid being hunted and hunted. For thousands of years, we have lived on an island. From a few hundred people to now, we have hundreds of thousands of people. Although we are cursed and cannot practice cultivation, my people are very smart and good at singing and dancing..."
"If you can't practice, how can you protect yourself?"
"Although we are called Kunlun slaves, people abandoned by the gods, we are good at making various mechanisms, especially puppets, but we can only make them, but we can't drive them..."
Luo Xing has never seriously understood the past of Kunlun Nu. It turns out that they are a group of people who are good at manufacturing.
They can create puppets, but they cannot drive them for their own use, and power and energy need to be done by others.
This caused them to rely on others for their existence in the past. When others learned all this, they became dispensable, leaving only their handsome appearance and singing and dancing arts to entertain people with sex.
A typical example of killing the donkey.
"Why can't you practice?" Luo Xing felt strange. Hai Lanzhu looks exactly like them. Except for the appearance and genes, which may be better, the rest is not bad. Why can't he practice?
If they can't cultivate true energy, physical cultivation is also a way. It's not like they can't even cultivate pure physical strength.
"We didn't know that when we practiced martial arts, we would feel so painful that we would pass out directly from the thought of practicing martial arts. Gradually, no one dared to try it. According to ancient legends in the clan, this is a curse, rooted in us. What is in the bloodline is to lock us and prevent us from having the opportunity to practice, otherwise it will bring disaster to the world!" Hai Lanzhu said.
"I taught them Tai Chi, have you practiced it?"
"I don't dare, slave."
"You can try it. If it doesn't work, let's talk. When I have time, I will personally do a physical examination on you." Luo Xing said, "By the way, what is your secret method of sound transmission? It is similar to the sound transmission in martial arts. ?”
"It is a vibration that I simulated. Most people cannot hear it. Only the Lord of Destiny of my clan can hear it."
"That's why you think I'm your master?"
"Yes, although we live in seclusion in the South China Sea, we are not isolated from the outside world. Every once in a while, we will send people to the mainland to look for the Lord of Destiny. We have been looking for many years until we met the owner." Hai Lanzhu said.
To be honest, Luo Xing was dubious about Hai Lanzhu's words and just took it as a story. Anyway, he wouldn't go to the South China Sea for a while.
There is also the fox girl Susu, Luo Xing also feels that her identity is not simple.
night.
Luo Xing was meditating and consolidating his cultivation when suddenly his brows moved, his eyes opened, and he disappeared from the place, his figure melting into the darkness like a ghost.
His Fuyao movement has reached its peak as his cultivation has improved. Even an extraordinary master like Jiang Daozong may not be much better than him even if he performs Fuyao.
It is indeed the top form of Zhenwuyuan.
Xicheng Yunxiuzhuang.
The night was dark, and the embroiderers in the village had already gone to bed. Only a few rooms still had lights on, and it was quiet.
call!
It seemed that the air was disturbed by something, but there was no movement.
A black shadow floated across the ridge of the roof, passing deep into the village at an almost completely imperceptible angle.
Completely immersed in darkness.
In the quiet room, Master Yun Ni was lying on the bed, a light was on, and the caregiver was lying on the foot of the bed. It seemed that he could not hold back his sleepiness and was already fast asleep.
The black shadow observed for a long time to make sure that no one in the room was moving. In a flash, he appeared in front of the bed.
He wore a black jumpsuit and hat on his head and deliberately avoided the light. His face was gloomy and dark, and it was so cold that it made people feel scary.
The visitor didn't speak, and just looked at Master Yun Ni on the bed quietly, with a blazing light in his eyes.
He had been eyeing this woman for a long time. He was originally worried about the sect behind her and was waiting for her to beg her to come to him.
Now he can't wait any longer. He's afraid that something unexpected will happen again. He can only cook from raw rice to cooked rice. Everything is a foregone conclusion. What can he do to him then?
Jiang Daozong grabbed his hand, and the real Yun Ni on the bed was rolled up together with the sheets. Then, he was pinched by the person with one arm and passed directly through the window, disappearing after a few ups and downs.
But what he didn't know was that a pair of eyes had been staring at him for a long time, and they chased after him.
Yunxiuzhuang is not the place to do anything.
And if Jiang Daozong wants to attack Zhenren Yun Ni, he can't go back to Zhenwu Academy directly. He must have an unknown lair.
as expected.
Jiang Daozong took Master Yun Ni hostage and ran all the way. After leaving the city, he headed directly to the northwest, flying hundreds of miles in one breath.
In a valley, after falling down, a natural crack can be seen. Through the crack, there is a cave inside, and a hot spring courtyard is actually built inside.
Building such a hot spring resort in such an inaccessible mountain range is beyond financial resources. Moreover, there is a magic talisman formation at the crack where you just came in. Ordinary people can't get in without a way to get in and out.
"Master, you are back!"
Two young women floated out of the garden. Good thing, they are both second-grade martial arts sects. Jiang Daozong, a hypocrite, really knows how to enjoy it. Such stunning beauty, even if it is placed outside, is still a talent that various sects are competing for. .
"This is your future mistress, send it to the spiritual pool, I want to practice!" Jiang Daozong gently threw the real Yun Ni, and it fell firmly into the hands of the two women.
"Yes, Master." The two women carried Master Yun Ni and left quickly with great obedience, while Jiang Daozong turned around and walked towards a small building embedded at the foot of the mountain.
"Ayue, Ayue, I'm back..."
Luo Xing, who followed closely behind, frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that Jiang Daozong's Jinwu Cangjiao was not only hiding his beauty, but also had Yun Ni's idea.
Of course, he had other motives. This Jiang Daozong actually practiced a kind of yin and yang tonic technique. He was indeed a sanctimonious hypocrite.
"Jiang Daozong, I have helped you break through and advance to the extraordinary, what else do you want?" An angry voice came, which made Luo Xing startled. The voice sounded so familiar. After distinguishing it carefully, he finally remembered that it was an immortal word. The voice of Master Leng Yue.
"Ah Yue, we are husband and wife for a hundred days. What's more, you and I have been husband and wife for only one day. Don't you want to stay with me for a long time?" Jiang Daozong went up to the second floor and opened a bedroom door. Said to a woman sitting in front of the dressing table.
"I just feel disgusted with you!" Master Leng Yue said.
"Ah Yue, don't you feel lonely alone? I have found a new sister for you. She is also an old acquaintance of you, okay?" Jiang Daozong put his hands on Master Leng Yue's shoulders and said with extremely gentle words. .
"Take your hands away, I think he is dirty." Master Leng Yue angrily scolded. It was obvious that she was being controlled by someone at the moment and had no ability to move. Otherwise, with her cultivation as a first-grade grandmaster, how could she not resist?
Jiang Daozong, the leader of the Zhenwu Academy, actually imprisoned Master Leng Yue of Xirong Lian Sect. Obviously, this was not just a day or two.
Master Leng Yue is obviously the cauldron for his cultivation of evil-replenishing skills.
And Master Yun Ni is another target of Jiang Daozong.
"Ah Yue, I'm not a heartless person, why are you bothering me?" Jiang Daozong seemed to feel aggrieved.
"nausea!"
