'You are worthy of being the common ruler of the world, the emperor of Daqing.'
After Li Xiangxue said this, Ji Qingzhi became even more confused.
He didn't understand how Li Xiangxue knew this.
It can be said that since Li Xiangxue entered Taiping Township, all actions have been under his control.
No matter what was said, what was done, or who was contacted, his master knew it all.
The only thing he couldn't control was the time that Li Xiangxue spent in the Spring and Autumn Tomb.
But inside the Spring and Autumn Tomb, who knows his identity?
The Fang family won’t.
If the Fang family knew this, they probably wouldn't even come into contact with him.
Lin Kuang?
Not really.
Even if Lin Kuang sensed something was wrong from Shouyuan's perception, how could he connect the two identities of Ji Qingzhi and Emperor Yongtai together?
But between these two identities, there has always been... wait!
Ji Qingzhi's eyes flashed and he thought of someone.
Dou Tianyuan.
Lin Kuang was able to get out of the imperial prison, and no one else could do it except Dou Tianyuan.
If Dou Tianyuan knew about his relationship with Emperor Yongtai, then he would definitely tell Lin Kuang.
In this way, the purpose of releasing Lin Kuang privately was also explained.
As for how Dou Tianyuan knew...
There is no doubt that Lou Youzhi has made considerable contributions and even occupied a dominant position.
Judging from the information currently known, Lou Youzhi had long suspected that the natural disaster was under control.
Then the locust plague in Yongzhou was very suspicious in his eyes.
After all, Emperor Yongtai's plan to "massacre the refugees" had already failed, and Ji Qingzhi happened to go to Yongzhou and incited the refugees to rebel.
Even if the position makes sense, there is nothing wrong with the cause and effect.
But how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Naturally, Lou Youzhi could come to a conclusion.
——Ji Qingzhi is Emperor Yongtai’s man.
With this conclusion, combined with the fact that Lin Kuang's life span was missing, it is easy to come to the final answer - Emperor Yongtai stole Lin Kuang's magical powers and created Ji Qingzhi's identity with his external incarnation.
I see……
There was a flash of understanding in Ji Qingzhi's eyes, and then there was some self-mockery.
He didn't expect that the idle chess piece he used to deal with Lou Youzhi would eventually become Lou Youzhi's chess piece to deal with him, and even successfully backfired on him.
That's ridiculous.
Li Xiangxue noticed the fluctuation in Ji Qingzhi's eyes, and couldn't help shaking his head, saying: "No matter what you think of, or who you suspect, this matter has nothing to do with anyone."
"It was entirely my personal choice to attack you."
"Even if I die from it."
" It's okay if you believe it or not."
"Even if you take your anger out on others, that's up to you."
"As for why I'm saying this..."
Li Xiangxue sneered, "I am different from you. Although I am a commoner, I have known the principle of daring to act and daring to take responsibility since I was a child."
Ji Qingzhi didn't care about Li Xiangxue's ridicule, but he was indeed a little puzzled.
And not under anyone's instructions?
Then why?
Just for those refugees in Yongzhou?
That doesn’t make sense.
It might be possible for someone else, but Li Xiangxue...
You know, Li Xiangxue had already been missed in Fenggu County.
He was the one who stood up and chose to join the Taiping Dao.
If you cared so much about those refugees, why did you choose to leave in the first place?
"Do you really want to know?"
Li Xiangxue looked at Ji Qingzhi calmly and said calmly: "Don't worry, you still have more than half an incense stick of time before you die. I will tell you slowly."
"Before the locust plague in Yongzhou, I had been living in Canglong County."
"My father was a government official in Canglong County. His full name was Li Quan'an."
"Originally, the Li family was not well-received in that area."
"My mother quarrels with others almost every other day."
"Because my father is a government official."
“But soon, all that changed.”
"Because of the appearance of a person..."
Li Xiangxue spoke as if no one was around, with a calm tone and a nonchalant expression.
From the changes in Canglong County and the Li family, to Fu Yuanlong's closure of the city and Li Quanan's disability, to Fu Yuanlong's second closure of the city and Li Quanan's death.
During the entire process, Xu Chong's name and identity were hidden and not mentioned at all.
"These are things that I either didn't understand or didn't know about."
"It was after my father died that the county school teacher, Mr. Wang, told me."
"At that time, many villagers couldn't understand it."
"Why is it that every time there is a sign of good times, they are immediately ruined?"
"And it was destroyed by the imperial court."
"Is it because the imperial court cannot bear to see them lead a good life?"
"I've heard it so many times, and I've started to think so, too."
"But the Master told me that it is not so."
"The imperial court is always the imperial court. It has nothing to do with good or evil."
“The only ones who have good and evil are humans.”
"The good times in Canglong County are because we happened to meet a kind person."
"Good days are ruined because you just happened to encounter another evil one."
"Later, the Master became the county magistrate."
"Canglong County has calmed down again."
"Then... the master was arrested by the imperial court."
"They say he is a traitor to the Taiping Dao."
"Haha, traitor..."
"After this incident, the people of Canglong became numb."
"They don't know whether they have offended God or the court."
“But they’ve learned to live with it.”
"Well, if we can't live a good life, then we'll just live a hard life."
"After all, life has to go on."
"Then……"
"A natural disaster is coming."
"Due to a plague, there were tens of thousands of people left, but only tens of thousands were left."
"These more than 10,000 people are very lucky to have survived until one person showed up."
"The magistrate of Fenggu County is Jiang Zhihong."
"He treated us and gave us food."
"As long as you come to Fenggu County, no matter who you are or what you have done, he will treat you equally."
"Later, there was not enough food, and the court never provided disaster relief."
"He started teaching us martial arts."
As he spoke, Li Xiangxue smiled faintly, his face showing a look of reminiscence, "Every day, he would stand on the ruins and ask us what martial arts is."
"Millions of people have the hope to continue living because of this sentence."
"For the people of Canglong, good days are no longer a luxury, but with Jiang Zhihong here, it seems that the hard times can continue."
"Then……"
"The court is here again."
"Jiang Zhihong privately spreads evil methods, and is guilty of conspiracy to rebel."
"So he's dead."
"Do you know..."
Li Xiangxue laughed at himself, "Before this, I always believed in what the Master said."
"Even though my master was arrested by the imperial court, and even though my mother and many others died of the plague, I still believe that there is no distinction between good and evil in the imperial court. We are just unlucky and have encountered evil officials."
"It was not until Grandpa Jiang was shattered to pieces, with only a skull left, that I realized that no matter whether what the Master said was right or not, he must have missed one thing."
"How many evil people are there in the court?"
"Is it because we Canglong people are unlucky that we encounter such things again and again?"
"If that's the case, how do you explain why the court would rather ignore the natural disaster and let the refugees die than kill Grandpa Jiang first?"
"Did Grandpa Jiang teach martial arts from the beginning?"
"How long has he been waiting for disaster relief?"
“Half a year!”
"From the time the natural disaster struck to the time the martial arts were taught, it took a full six months!"
"What's the result?"
"Instead of receiving disaster relief, we received charges of crimes."
"How can I believe what the Master said?"
"So, I chose to go back to Taiping Township with you."
At this point, Li Xiangxue paused and chuckled, "Now that I think about it, it was you who arranged for Nan Chongyue, right?"
"To increase my hatred for Lou Youzhi?"
"I have to say that Nan Chongyue has done a very successful job."
"At least at that time, I had only one purpose in living, to kill Lou Youzhi."
"This purpose allowed me to survive in the Shura Field and be officially accepted as your disciple."
"And you, without even asking a question, found the follow-up of Mingyu Jin that Taiping Township did not have."
“Maybe you think that Grandpa Jiang also taught Mingyu Jin when he was in Fenggu County?”
Li Xiangxue shook his head, "Not really."
"Ming Yu Jin was passed on to me by another person."
"And he..."
Li Xiangxue's eyes were red, and he stared at Ji Qingzhi coldly, "He died because of you, too!"
So that’s how it is…
Ji Qingzhi finally understood.
Why couldn’t Li Xiangxue be planted with the Dao Seed of a minister?
Because Li Xiangxue already had faith in his heart.
And this belief has long become Li Xiangxue's obsession, so how could he possibly turn to believe in him?
But this reason...
How ridiculous!
revenge?
What a childish and ridiculous reason.
You take revenge on me, who should I take revenge on?
Ji Qingzhi's eyes became mocking, and even contained some pity.
This change completely stimulated Li Xiangxue.
"Why?!"
"Why do you still have that look in your eyes?"
"Until now, you have no regrets at all?"
Li Xiangxue was hysterical. He grabbed Ji Qingzhi by the collar and brought him close to him. "Those are people. They are living people!"
"They are the subjects of you, the emperor!"
"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, Brother Zhao!"
“Those millions of refugees!”
"And Grandpa Jiang, who would rather die than save us!"
"besides……"
Just as Li Xiangxue was about to say Xu Chong's name, he paused, "I almost forgot that you, who are in the capital of Daqing right now, can also fully perceive the situation here, right? Are you deliberately provoking me and trying to trick me?"
As he spoke, Li Xiangxue exerted force with his hands and pushed Ji Qingzhi out.
Ji Qingzhi fell backwards without any resistance and leaned on the steps.
The Taoist master and emperor did not seem angry at all. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Yes, he was deliberately provoking Li Xiangxue and wanted to find out who the person Li Xiangxue was talking about was.
Although Li Xiangxue was alert and did not say everything, it was enough.
After all, such an existence appearing in the small Canglang would definitely leave traces.
And it just so happened that Canglong County had always been a place he had been paying attention to.
Just like that, pieces of information flashed through Ji Qingzhi's mind.
Soon, the answer was revealed.
A name he was extremely familiar with, even more familiar than anyone else.
Xu Chong.
Xu Chong used to be a historian in Canglang and was fully capable of changing the living conditions of the Canglang people. Moreover, with the existence of Zhengyang Jin, it is normal for him not to use it after obtaining Mingyu Jin.
But the problem is...
Xu Chong?
Ji Qingzhi was at a loss for a moment.
Xu Chong is dead?
Or did he die because of himself?
When did it happen?
Is it before becoming an immortal or after becoming an immortal?
If it was before, it would be fine.
Even if the immortal is not Xu Chong, he can be easily found.
But if it's later...
This is not good news.
Because, this means that the rules of immortality have disappeared once again.
As Ji Qingzhi was pondering, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
His soul is about to completely dissolve.
Li Xiangxue noticed this and added , "I heard that you can't leave the palace. If I can leave here alive... I will go to the capital to find you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Qingzhi's pupils suddenly dilated and his consciousness completely dimmed.
Without the obstacle of the soul, the inner demon's devouring of Ji Qingzhi suddenly accelerated.
In just a few breaths , all the returns were swept away.
And at the moment when the inner demon returned, Li Xiangxue, with a little regret, also lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
What he had mentioned before about the Fang family's painted boat was not entirely made up.
Just as he was setting out from Binzhou coast on his way to Taiping Township, he actually came across a pleasure boat belonging to the Fang family.
However, it was not like what he said, that the Fang family came to him, but he was the one who took the initiative to provoke the Fang family.
For the faint hope in my heart, and also to test the use of the inner demon.
Therefore, he had long been clear that once he used his inner demon to deal with the existence of the Tao realm, the return of the inner demon would immediately make him fall into a deep sleep.
In a place like this, sleep could very well mean death.
He is not afraid of death, nor does he think it would be a pity to die.
What he regretted was that Emperor Yongtai was still alive.
…
…
When the Fang family's ship appeared nearby, Old Lady Hua was extremely panicked and terrified.
If it were the old days, it would be fine.
No matter how strong Fang Ren was, she was confident that she could deal with him.
But now, her life has come to an end, like a candle in the wind, which may be completely extinguished at any time.
In this situation, is there any way to save the Hua family?
Old Lady Hua couldn’t figure it out.
Until she saw a familiar figure on the Fang family's boat.
Xu Chong.
"Why is it you..."
Old Lady Hua stood at the bow, looking confused.
"The Fang family has been completely exterminated. This is the spoils of war."
Xu Chong smiled and floated over.
Extinction...extinction?
Old Lady Hua was completely stunned, her face disheveled in the wind.
"The Lin Kuang you saw last time was actually me transformed using the Wu Xiang Yi."
Xu Chong continued, "I came here this time to see Nong Yue's situation."
“…”
Old Lady Hua took great effort to concentrate, "Oh Nong Yue, she is still frozen."
"Still frozen?"
Xu Chong frowned.
At this time, two figures flashed out one after another.
One is Sun Yourong, and the other is a woman with a mature charm. Her face is somewhat similar to Sun Yourong. As expected, she is Sun Yourong's mother, Hua Nongyu.
“The Immortal!!”
Hua Nongyu was shocked.
After hearing this, Old Lady Hua also reacted.
She was so flustered just now that she didn't notice this.
"We'll talk about this later."
Xu Chong waved his hand and said, "You guys can take over the Fang family's ship. It's useless to me."
Hua Nongyu glanced at Old Lady Hua, nodded after getting the signal, and flew away.
Sun Yourong looked at Xu Chong, her expression complex and calm at the same time.
