A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 939: If you mess with him, you will be in trouble. (Please subscribe!)

Hua Shier held the Iron-Winged Sky Dragon Slayer, who had captured Dan Chenzi, and suppressed him in the National Master's Mansion. He then held a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to welcome Zen Master Xiaoyue.

At the dinner, Hua Shier tried to sound out Zen Master Xiaoyue. If an earthly immortal who was about to ascend to heaven had too big an appetite, he would not be able to satisfy him. Even if he were to confer the title of Imperial Master, he was afraid it would not work. After all, he had already conferred the title of Imperial Master on two people, and if he conferred any more, it would exceed the limit.

If Xiaoyue is ennobled, will Xu Feiniang be ennobled? It's impossible that the Imperial Master's Mansion is full of Imperial Masters.

  Fortunately, Master Xiaoyue had no desire for fame, wealth or status. He only wanted three things:

That is, defeat Emei, defeat Emei, and defeat Emei!

Important things must be said three times, the monk’s obsession is so deep!

Zen Master Xiaoyue just wanted his former master, Changmei Zhenren, to see in the Lingkong Fairyland that if you had not chosen me, Miechenzi, as the headmaster, Emei would have been in darkness forever!

Everyone in Emei should regret this!

Zhang Tianshi and Banbian Old Nun looked at Zen Master Xiaoyue differently, and the smiles on their faces became much softer. This guy is too petty, and they would not offend him if they could avoid it!

Hua Twelve was different. He was deeply moved. Zen Master Xiaoyue was a good comrade. He did not fight or compete, and did not have high material demands. More importantly, they shared the same goal of defeating Emei.

  How could such a good comrade be a little narrow-minded?

After the dinner, Zen Master Xiaoyue followed Master Zhang Tianshi to the Imperial Master's Mansion to settle down. At this time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard inside and outside the capital.

Outside the palace, the sky was filled with fireworks. The young girls, wives, palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City all craned their necks to look outside.

Big-eyed Feifeng ran out from somewhere, and Hua Twelve saw a familiar figure following her in the distance. When he saw him, the figure quickly hid in a corner on one side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

  Princess Feifeng held Hua Twelve's arm and started to act like a spoiled child before she even said anything. Hua Twelve glanced behind her and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you all day, do you have something to ask me?"

Princess Feifeng giggled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from the Emperor's uncle!"

Just as she was about to speak, a "half-sky red" exploded in the sky, with a myriad of colors, truly lighting up half the sky red.

Big-eyed Feifeng was immediately attracted by the fireworks. She looked at them with envy and forgot about her business. She acted coquettishly towards Hua Twelve:

"Uncle, look at how beautiful the fireworks outside are. Why don't we set them off too?"

Hua Shier waved to Cao Zhengchun: "Get some fireworks, let's set them off too!"

Cao Zhengchun took people to move the fireworks, and soon fireworks rose into the sky in the Forbidden City. They were brilliant and colorful, and the royal family and the people enjoyed themselves together.

Big Eyed Feifeng, Li Yingqiong, Zhou Qingyun, Liu Sheng Piaoxu, and Cheon Song Yi, with a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, were having a great time in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, taking turns to release the lights.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers attracted Li Jingxu and the two Korean monks Qingyun and Heishe, and they all joined in the joy.

Li Jingxu practiced Taoism to return to nature and really had the mentality of a child. A child over a thousand years old actually played with fireworks, chasing Qingyun and Heishi with the fireworks.

  Hua Twelve laughed loudly, turned around and looked at Fei Feng who was having fun with the other girls. Thinking of what happened before, he sent a message to the corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony:

"Don't come out yet!"

A figure walked out leisurely. It was Long Long Jiu, the one with four eyebrows from the Baolong clan.

Long Longjiu smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, the moon is big and round today."

Hua Twelve was speechless: "What nonsense! You said the same thing when you went to the brothel!"

"Slander, Your Majesty, someone must have slandered me in front of you. Everyone knows that I am famous for being chaste. If Xiaoxi hadn't found a wife, they would have said that Xiaoxi and I were a couple!"

  Hua Twelve kicked this guy:

"You're getting more and more ridiculous. Ximen Chuxue is so unlucky to have you as his friend!"

Long Long Jiu chuckled foolishly, and then seeing that Hua Twelve didn't say anything, he made small talk:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the old slave outside the pass was killed by your flying hammer. Is it true?"

Although there is Huang Taiji's blood letter as evidence, people who have heard the true situation always feel that it is somewhat unreal.

What's more, I couldn't believe that the old slave died from the hammer thrown by Hua Twelve casually. It was too much of a coincidence.

But Hua Twelve believed it, because after he learned of the old slave's death, he remembered something. In the history of the real world, the old slave seemed to have died in the past two years.

Historical records state that the old slave died of gangrene, but there are rumors that he was killed by a red cannon during the Battle of Ningyuan.

There is a record of this scene in the "Shikui Book Later Collection. Biography of Yuan Chonghuan":

"Where the cannons passed, countless northern cavalry were killed, including the Yellow Dragon Guard, and one deputy king was injured. The northern cavalry thought that the expedition was not going to work, so they wrapped the bodies in leather, wailed, and ran away."

  In ancient times, "Bi Wang" referred to a minor king of the Xiongnu, and nowadays it can be seen as a Bi general. The record says that a Bi general was injured, but what kind of Bi general could make the Tartars stop fighting, roll up the body, and leave crying?

It also clearly stated that "wherever the cannon passed, it reached the Yellow Dragon Curtain." The Yellow Dragon Curtain was the old slave's ceremonial guard of honor when he traveled, which means that the fire from the red cannon at least swept across the old slave's ceremonial guard of honor.

Soon after, news came that the old slave had contracted gangrene and died in August.

Then in the history of the real world, it is most likely true that the old slave was injured by artillery fire in the Battle of Ningyuan.

In order not to affect morale, the Later Jin side said that he had gangrene, which was very likely.

Combining things in the real world, Hua Shier felt that the old slave was destined to die. He died from artillery fire in the real world and from hammer fire in this world. The power of the hammer he threw was not much different from that of a cannonball, so he believed that the old slave was hammered to death by him.

Well, in a nutshell, the killing of the slave leader is all my credit, that’s it!

  Hua Twelve thought so in his heart, but he didn't want to tell Long Longjiu. He knew that this guy had other things to do, so he said unhappily:

"Don't talk nonsense. You and Feifeng came here to talk, right? Feifeng is a lively girl. She gets excited when she sees the fireworks and forgets everything because she's having fun. If she won't tell me, then you can tell me what's going on between you two being so secretive!"

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you."

Hua Twelve kicked him again: "Get to the point!"

Long Longjiu moved closer and whispered:

"Two days ago, when Feifeng and Chen were investigating a case together, they were caught in a vicious trap and were trapped in an underground trap for three days and three nights. Something happened that shouldn't have happened accidentally, and they had physical contact!"

  Hua Twelve was overjoyed. He was finally going to get rid of Big Eyed Fei Feng. He widened his eyes and wanted to ask more clearly to avoid any misunderstanding:

"You said you gave Feifeng to me?"

Long Longjiu knelt down and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, who knew that there was poison gas in the mechanism? I didn't do it on purpose."

Hua Twelve immediately quit, thinking he didn't want to take responsibility, and shouted:

"How dare you say you didn't mean it? Say it again if you dare!"

  As soon as Long Long Jiu knelt down, he attracted the attention of the people setting off fireworks, especially when Hua Twelve started to sing. Princess Fei Feng hurried over and opened her arms to protect Long Long Jiu:

"What are you doing, uncle? I, I did it voluntarily. I just wanted to tell you about this, but I forgot about it when I saw the fireworks." Hua Twelve and Long Longjiu were both speechless. What's the point of this girl's brain? It concerns chastity, such a big thing, but she forgot about it when she saw the fireworks and was having fun. She is so heartless.

  But thinking that Fei Feng had always been nice to him, Hua Twelve slowed down his tone and said:

"Fei Feng, don't worry. Just tell your uncle directly what's wrong with you and he will make the decision for you!"

Fei Feng stamped her feet and said, "It really has nothing to do with Long Longjiu. I did this on my own accord. Uncle, if you dare to make things difficult for Long Longjiu, I will run away from home and never return to the palace!"

Hua Twelve quickly pulled Fei Feng's hand, clapped his hands with hers, and laughed:

"It's a deal, double happiness!"

"I will marry you to Long Longjiu. I will prepare your dowry for you. You don't have to return to the palace before the wedding!"

  A quarter of an hour later!

Seeing the palace gate close with a bang, Fei Feng stamped her feet in anger:

"Ah, I'm so angry, my uncle actually ignored the palace curfew just to get me out!"

Long Longjiu saw the princess getting angry and didn't know what to say. At this moment, the palace gate was stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly said:

"Fei Feng, the palace gate is open. The emperor must be reluctant to let you go back. The emperor just wants to scare you!"

Fei Feng snorted: "Even if the emperor's uncle begs me to go back, I won't go back."

The palace gate opened, Cao Zhengchun leaned out and threw a package to Long Longjiu: "This is the princess's change of clothes, the emperor wants you to take it away!"

After saying this, the palace gate closed again.

Feifeng, Longlongjiu: "."

With Feifeng's departure, it can be said that the last trace of the Zhu family was wiped out in the palace.

Of course, Hua Shier was not a heartless person. The next day, he issued an edict to grant Feifeng and Long Longjiu a marriage, and gave the Ning Wang’s former residence in Beijing to Feifeng as a princess residence. He let the Ministry of Rites take care of the master’s wedding, and all expenses were borne by the palace.

Putting aside these trivial matters, Hua Shier has already ordered the National Master's Mansion to ambush outside the city. Dan Chenzi came to deliver the letter and never returned. If anyone from Emei comes to look for him or rescue him again, they must be captured as well.

The result disappointed Hua Twelve. No one from Emei came. He went to the Imperial Master's Mansion to meet Dan Chenzi, who was held under the Demon Suppression Tower. As soon as they met, he said:

"You should reflect on yourself. What kind of popularity do you have? I can't even catch any fish with you!"

Hua Twelve came here not only to ridicule Dan Chenzi, but also to see how he could absorb the opponent's magical power.

Even if he doesn't need it, Liu Chi still needs it. Now Liu Chi has changed a lot. It used to be black like a black jade bracelet. After absorbing the magic power of Xuantian Sect, Liu Chi has turned golden. It looks like a big gold chain when worn on his hand. It is obvious that it is evolving.

Moreover, Liu Chi's aura has also become much stronger, but he is still dormant. It is obvious that Xuan Tian Sect's magic power is too great, and Liu Chi has not yet fully digested it.

Hua Shier had a good idea, but he was dumbfounded just after he finished his sarcastic words. He saw Dan Chenzi's face was as pale as gold paper, as if he was seriously ill. He had no magic power at all. His scapula was pierced by a cold iron chain, and the tendons of his hands and feet were picked.

  Call the disciple from Tianshi Mansion who was guarding the place and ask him what was going on.

The guarding Taoist priest said, "Your Majesty, Master Xiaoyue came here last night and left this morning!"

Hua Twelve was speechless. Zen Master Xiaoyue hated Emei to the core and was willing to join his side even without any money. It was obvious that she had come back from the welcoming banquet yesterday and came here to abuse Dan Chenzi. He naturally couldn't cause trouble for the other party for such a small matter, as that would discourage his own people. If he couldn't attract them, then he couldn't.

Half a month passed in a flash. Hua Shier was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace when Cao Zhengchun came to report that rumors were spreading everywhere, saying that the court had decided to have a sword fight with Emei on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month outside the Shanhai Pass and to break the formation and discuss the real dragon.

  What I mean is, let’s see which one is destined to be the emperor, the Ming Dynasty or the Later Jin Dynasty!

The story was spread with great detail and became a hot topic. People from all over the country wrote letters to the emperor, wishing the court a successful start!

The matter was reported by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so those books for all peoples are probably still on the way.

Hua Shier immediately understood that he had only accepted the letter of challenge from Emei but did not reply. The other party was afraid that he would not admit it, so they spread the matter and even linked it to the True Dragon Emperor and the Mandate of Heaven. This was forcing him to fight.

However, Hua Shier did not care too much about it. These things of Emei were just martial arts methods. How could he act on impulse when it came to court politics? If these were the only methods he had, he would definitely not give in.

Hua Shier believed that the Later Jin must have a trick up its sleeve. Once Lao Nu died, Huang Taiji would succeed him. He was also a powerful figure.

Sure enough, a few days later, several things happened one after another. One was that the "Wanmin Umbrella" that Cao Zhengchun had reported was sent from all over the country, causing a sensation in the capital, and everyone believed that the rumor was true.

The other is that the Later Jin sent an envoy to challenge the Ming Dynasty to a national war!

When the delegation arrived in the capital, they presented the letter of credence in the court.

Huang Taiji said in his letter to the country that in order to avoid the loss of lives and put the people of both countries in dire straits, although the Later Jin intended to interfere in the world, it did not want to start a war. It set up a base outside the Great Wall, and after the sword fight in Liaodong, it would ask the Ming Dynasty to defeat it.

It was agreed that if the Ming Dynasty could break the formation within six months, Huang Taiji would swear to heaven that the Later Jin would surrender and there would be no Later Jin from then on. He also committed suicide in front of King Laohan's tomb and wrote the oath in blood.

If Ming cannot break the formation within half a year, it means that the destiny lies with Later Jin. Ming must give up the throne and become a vassal of Later Jin, and pay an annual tribute of 5 million taels of silver and some other materials to Later Jin.

Upon hearing the contents of the letter, the court was in an uproar. No one expected that the Later Jin would play such a big game.

In fact, they didn’t know that if it were the original Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin would definitely not listen to the advice of the Emei Sect and would just do it directly.

However, in the more than one year since Hua Xi ascended the throne, he has turned the Ming Dynasty upside down and made it a brand new place. There is plenty of money, the refugees have been settled, and there is a strong army and a long row of red cannons at Shanhaiguan. Now the Later Jin wants to attack the Ming Dynasty. Even if it wins, both sides will suffer losses. That's why they agreed to Emei's seemingly absurd solution that can solve the problem.

However, Hua Shier saw through it clearly. The letter from the Later Jin Dynasty was bullshit. All the conditions were fake. The five million taels of silver proposed by Huang Taiji were all a cover. The purpose of that fat man Huang was to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Now that the two countries are at war, people from the world of cultivation have intervened. If the Ming Dynasty wants to break the Emei formation, people from the National Master's Mansion have to take action. There is no need to think about what formation the Emei side has, it must be the Yin-Yang Microdust, which is a fairy formation.

  When all the cultivators on the Ming side are almost killed or injured, the Later Jin will have the help of the Emei Sect and the Shamanism outside the Great Wall, then the Ming Dynasty can get whatever it wants. By that time, the Later Jin will not want money anymore and will enter the Great Wall to destroy you. What else can you do!

The situation was causing a lot of uproar at the time, and the Later Jin Dynasty had even sent a letter to the country. If the Ming Dynasty did not agree, it would surely bring disgrace to the Ming Dynasty.

Hua Twelve sat high on the dragon throne and sneered at the Later Jin envoy: "Okay, Huang Tai wants to play, I will play with him!"

After he finished speaking, he instructed Cao Zhengchun standing beside him, "Leave only one soldier from the Later Jin envoys and kill all the others. Let that soldier take the message back and tell Huang Taiji that I agree to break the formation!"

The Later Jin envoy couldn't believe it. As he was dragged away, he was still shouting: "When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys!"

Hua Shier directly said: "The Later Jin is nothing more than the slaves of the Ma family released by my Ming Dynasty. It is nothing more than a shitty country."

After the Later Jin envoy was dragged away, several earthly immortals from Hua Twelve's National Master's Mansion came to the court and asked Zen Master Xiaoyue to paint the appearance of all the people including the Emei Changmei Zhenren. Then he issued an order to cast kneeling statues of all the people of Emei Sect in various places, just like Qin Hui.

When the kneeling statue in the capital is cast, a public protest will be held!

  Your ancestral graves have been dug up, and your luck has dropped by more than half, yet you still want to struggle. This time, hundreds of millions of people are spitting on you to see whether you will die or not. The spit will drown your last bit of luck. Without your luck, you will go astray when practicing martial arts, and you still want to set up an array? Fuck you!

Zen Master Xiaoyue was very excited and clapped his hands. The other earthly immortals shook their heads and smiled bitterly. The emperor was so stupid. Each of his tricks was more vicious than the last. They all mourned for the people of Emei for half a minute in their hearts. Why did you mess with him when you could mess with anyone else? Isn't this just bad luck?

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
