long night walk

Chapter 1544: Compassion is not in power

"Since you want to keep your empress at this time, and you have even made up your mind to do it at all costs, why do you have to think and worry too much? Anyway, no matter whether you voluntarily offer the blood or take the blood by force, it will not hurt you. Life, why should I think of the step of understanding?

It is not a fault for the weak to protect themselves and escape in the face of disaster, and it is not a fault for those in superior positions to use any means to achieve their goals. As the Lord just said, all things are like this, returning to their roots, each performing its own duties and doing its own thing.

Things in this world cannot be distinguished simply by right and wrong. Adults only need to know what they want, what they want to do, and then achieve their goals.

You are not a saint like the empress, and you don’t have to do everything in accordance with common sense. If you are confused, weigh it for yourself, which is more important, the empress, or the wishes of these naughty children? The answer you want will naturally be clear at a glance. . "

"Sometimes if you throw away all worries and be simple and rough, it will be easier to achieve your goals easily."

Qingxuan stared blankly as the crooked truths that made him feel relaxed and happy were being taught to him in a serious manner.

Even though it was unreasonable, it was extremely reasonable. In her intoxication, she suddenly became enlightened, as if the haze that had been consumed in her heart for many years was gone.

Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh softly, his smile was as bright as the stars and the moon in the sky: "I have restrained myself, returned to etiquette, and strictly abided by the rules for so many years, but this is the first time I heard such unreasonable nonsense from you.

But it's strange... I don't know why, but the things that I have been caring about in my heart for many years seem to have become less important under your absurd reasoning. "

The empress never sticks to anything, and she doesn't care whether her followers are pious or not, and she has no disappointment. She does things without asking for anything in return, and she doesn't care about anyone's opinions.

The nectar rains down in time, and I don’t keep anything private.

Therefore, the empress is a saint and she is a mortal.

Therefore, she should do what a mortal should do based on her selfish desires, and blindly forcing herself to be like the empress would only be self-defeating.

Balian smiled slightly and said: "If you pay attention to these things, they are naturally important. If you don't pay attention to them, they are actually meaningless and as light as dust."

Qingxuan looked at Bai Lian and smiled, with a small dimple between his lips and cheeks.

Somehow, he couldn't help but stretch out a finger and poke it gently. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips and he whispered: "The pear vortex is not the pear vortex, it is the flower blooming on the young man's face."

Bai Lian was momentarily distracted.

Was he... being teased by this female official who had always hated him through drunkenness?

Perhaps amused by Balian's stunned reaction, Qingxuan chuckled again, "How can I be my queen's servant if I am so shy and can't let go of my figure?"

Bai Lian narrowed his eyes, he was very familiar with this tone. He already had experience in dealing with Ning Feiyan.

So he retreated instead of advancing, smiled sweetly and came a little closer, leaned over and said softly: "I am not talented, and I still have three points of experience in my appearance, but I am serving the king for the first time in my life. I am afraid that I will not be able to serve the empress." Zhou was so frightened that he lost his sense of proportion.

Why not take this opportunity today and ask Master Qingxuan to practice with me, which will just prove the truth of the rumor, so that I won't let you down in the future and make it difficult for the queen to enjoy herself, which would be a great sin."

Sure enough, when Bailian said this, Qingxuan's usually cold face turned red, and she looked a bit spoiled. She said nothing or said anything, slowly pulled the quilt, and hid her cheeks little by little in the brocade. Beheaded.

……

……

After a night of wind and snow, the first light of the morning was slightly cold, and the damp and slightly drunken smell of wine at night had dried up. Qingxuan opened the palace door and was about to leave the Wangchen Palace when a soft sound like running water from a pure spring suddenly sounded behind him. the sound of.

"Last night, I said I was going to look for records on refining the purity of source blood. I thought Lord Qingxuan, who was very resolute and capable, actually stayed like that all night. What was he doing?"

Qing Shui hugged her chest and leaned against the wall, originally just joking.

Unexpectedly, when she saw that Qingxuan, the female official, seemed to be frightened, her shoulders shook violently in shock. She felt so guilty that she almost hit the newly closed palace door. She covered her beating heart and slowly turned around. Come, glance at her faintly.

"Why don't you make any noise when you walk?"

Qing Shui looked at her strangely and said: "I've been walking like this all day long. It's not that you don't know, but you... What happened today? Where did my usual composure go when I was startled? I didn't Hold your breath, don't you notice the person standing behind you?"

And why do you look guilty for having done something bad?

Qing Shui glanced calmly at the inner hall room through the crack in the door, but saw that the candlelight was still on. It was obvious that the corpse demon boy who often came here to read at night was also here last night.

It's really strange.

Qingxuan usually hates the corpse demon proton the most. He came to pick up the case book last night and didn't come back all night. It seemed that he slept in the Wangchen Palace of the Empress.

So he...spent the night here with that kid?

After thinking about this, the eyes of Qing Shui's female officer suddenly became subtle and meaningful.

Under the gaze of the female officer Qingshui who looked a bit mean when she narrowed her eyes, Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat and he said in a panic: "I didn't do anything last night!"

Qing Shui, the female officer, laughed and said, "I haven't asked anything yet."

She stepped forward lightly, leaned her head over, sniffed lightly with her nose, and said with a smile: "Yo? Mr. Qingxuan, who has always been self-disciplined, actually drank wine? It's really rare."

Qingxuan dodged her approach and sniffed, and pressed his back tightly against the door frame. He lowered his head and smelled the smell on his body. Although the clothes soaked by wine last night had dried, there was still a strong smell of alcohol left on his body. Not dispersed.

He really looked like he just woke up from a hangover.

She coughed lightly, and before Qing Shui could continue to press, she spoke first: "It's nothing. I came here last night to look for the blood record book. I was in a complicated mood at the moment, so I took the boy to drink a few drinks."

The suspicion on Qing Shui's face continued: "Is this really all there is?"

"It's just that." Qingxuan felt a headache and pinched the center of his eyebrows. She was no better than the empress, but she actually had some alcoholic beverages and capacity. She rarely got drunk on weekdays. Even if she was drunk and her thoughts were in a trance, she was always in a daze. He has strict self-discipline, and he is not like Balian who goes crazy and screams for his mother when he gets drunk.

Even when she was drunk and confused, most of her memories were not lost due to drunkenness.

Overall, she didn't do anything disrespectful last night.

As for the "drunk sex" and other romantic stories that Qing Shui looked forward to in her eyes, it was even more impossible for her to happen.

But no matter how Qingxuan tried to convince herself, she knew in her heart that she was distracted for at least a moment last night, and her eyes on that boy were anything but innocent.

And what's even more embarrassing is that it seems that the kid... saw it.

"Okay." Qing Shui lowered his eyes and smiled, took two steps back from Qing Xuan's body, stretched out his hand to carefully straighten the collar of her clothes that were a little messy and loose from sleeping, and said with gentle eyes: "I know that in recent days, Everything is not going well, and the collection of source blood is not satisfactory. Seeing that the empress' calamity is approaching, there is still no way to find a way out.

When you are feeling heavy and upset, you always want to bear the responsibility alone and rarely show it to others. You tolerate it by yourself and digest the pain in your heart secretly. Over time, you have become the cold and cold person you are today, keeping strangers away.

Now we know that it is a good thing to use wine to vent the frustration in your heart. As for the matter of blood, you don’t have to be disappointed by it. We always have a way to help the empress..."

In response to Qing Shui's endless concern, Qing Xuan chuckled, interrupted her and said, "You also think this is a good thing?"

Qing Shui paused and said hesitantly: "Wha...what?"

Qingxuan said calmly: "The inability to open the gate to the Holy Realm really makes me feel a lot of pressure. People with high positions are always unavoidable from this kind of pressure, but at the same time, we also have special rights. It would be better to just struggle with ourselves. Make clear use of your power to spread the pressure.”

Qing Shui's eyes opened slightly, looking very surprised: "What do you mean..."

Qingxuan's face returned to a cold expression: "As a citizen of Kunlun, I have been blessed by the empress for many years. Living in a place outside the sky, I can enjoy extremely pure spiritual power and fertile resources. However, no one is born to enjoy this without thinking of rewards. After all, there is still a difference between the people and the moths.

Qing Shui, pass on the order. All adult demons and fairies in the mountain must go to the blood pool to offer sacrifices to three lamps of blood. If anyone fails to comply, their qualifications to receive training materials for three years will be reduced. In this world, no matter where they are, But there is no reason to be freeloaders. "

The Kunlun Mountains are rich in resources. For an adult Kunlun demon immortal cultivator, three years of supplies can be enough to equal the resources accumulated by the world's first-class cultivation immortal sect for a full hundred years.

That is, compared to those three sources of blood, their value is only higher.

Qing Shui's pupils widened in surprise, seemingly shocked and confused as to why Qing Xuan's state of mind had changed so drastically overnight.

"You... just drank all night, why did you become so radical? Is it likely that many people will be dissatisfied if you issue such an order?

Not to mention that the one who issued this order is not the empress. When the empress agreed to use Hanyu Pond as a bargaining chip to lose to the demon world, it already caused a lot of turmoil in the mountain. Now that the empress is in danger, you and I still..."

Qingxuan looked over, his eyes so bright that he said calmly: "There are thousands of people in the clan, but even the empress can't satisfy everyone. If you and I only want to achieve our goals, if we are still tolerant, we will only develop These people are becoming more and more arrogant and ignorant.

Hanyu Pond is the spiritual vein of heaven and earth. Not to mention that the empress is the Lord of Kunlun, every plant and tree in this mountain belongs to the empress. Even if the empress loses the Hanyu Pond, she has nothing to do with others. They secretly feel that The dissatisfaction is ridiculous to the extreme, and all the resources for cultivation in the mountain come from gifts from the Queen. Just because everything we have received from the Queen over the years has been taken for granted. How come they have to receive supplies from the Queen every year? of all the goods and necessities.

The people of Kunlun who have never set foot in the mortal world are actually inferior to three-year-old children in the world. Those children who are not yet literate at least know that if they want a candy, they need to spend their own money to buy it. "

Qingxuan's eyes slanted coldly, and the smile on his lips was a bit contemptuous: "They don't even understand such a simple truth. They should be the ones who should be ashamed of this, not us who are depressed and disappointed for this. I don't know why. Since ancient times. Since then, Ci has not been in power. Since she is a female official in Kunlun, the person in charge only needs to issue orders accurately. "

Qing Shui was stunned for a long time before she realized that Qing Xuan was not a joke. She looked at Qing Xuan in amazement and couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know what happened to you, Qing Xuan, but overnight, I felt... You really don’t care about anything and your heart is as indestructible as a stone.”

No one knows better than her why Qingxuan feels disappointed, struggling and painful these days.

She didn't know how to persuade her, but she finally persuaded herself?

However, seeing her current appearance, Qingshui was completely relieved.

Qingxuan shook his head: "Some things, once you decide to do it, you must implement it to the end. Looking forward and backward will only hinder the queen."

Qing Shui's eyes were complicated: "This matter is not easy to handle."

Qingxuan smiled: "If you want to force the empress to stay in the world, it is tantamount to fighting against the law of heaven. This means that every step of our resistance and everything we do will not be easy to handle. So Awakening, I have already prepared.”

……

……

When he heard the new order issued by the female official Si Xi in Wangchen Hall, Master Qing Ao destroyed an entire cauldron of pills.

With an indifferent expression, he lifted the top of the furnace with a whisk, lifted up the sleeves of his Taoist robe with an expressionless expression, and personally collected the charred black residue from the furnace bit by bit.

He listened to the new news brought by the believer's close disciples and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he chuckled: "I didn't expect that just two women would have such courage."

The close disciple also laughed and said: "Master, this is good news for us. On weekdays, our opening of the altar to teach Taoism has been quite effective. Half of the people who believe in the incense in Kunlun Mountain are our true immortals." After the religious division came, many people in the mountains had already become dissatisfied and wavered.

Now that this female officer Qingxuan is so ignorant and gives such an inhumane order, I am afraid that it will arouse resentment and resistance from many people. "

Master Qing Ao slowly turned around and looked at the disciples who were kneeling on the ground with uncontrollable joy in their eyes. There was a trace of cold sarcasm in his eyes and he said indifferently: "I don't know how to behave? That's all you've seen. ”

He rubbed his fingers, slowly rubbing away the remaining burnt marks on his fingertips, and sneered indifferently: "When it comes to self-interest, it will naturally arouse the resentment of many people, but resistance is not necessarily possible, as long as Cangnan Yi As soon as she took charge of the power of Kunlun, the fairies and fairies in the Kunlun Mountains did not dare to rebel. They were dissatisfied, but they had to admit that she made this move in seconds. Kindness and empathy are the bad moves.”

"What I missed is that these two female officials were able to see the situation clearly so quickly, analyze the pros and cons, and dare to break up and stand up."

By exerting such power, simultaneously luring them with interests and suppressing them with power, these people of Kunlun, who had been ignorant and comfortable for many years, suddenly saw their situation and situation clearly.
