Chapter 654: Arrival in Xinzheng (Part 653)

Light and darkness are both part of being human.

No matter how perfect a person is, he or she cannot be without flaws.

No matter how evil a person is, it is impossible for him to be without kindness.

It’s just that the proportions of the two parts are different.

Maybe fifty percent to fifty percent.

Maybe 99 percent to 1 percent.

But no matter what, we cannot deny the existence of some of them just because of the imbalance in the ratio of good to evil. This is Ye Qingcang's understanding.

Therefore, his style of doing things is unscrupulous.

But in his heart, there is still a bottom line.

Looking at the dark night sky, there are stars hanging above the night sky.

Ye Qingcang sat in the rocking chair in the courtyard.

Shaking slowly.

For him now, it is not difficult to replace sleep with meditation.

It's not just him.

Many people can use meditation as a substitute for sleep.

For example, Xiao Wu.

For example, Ning Rongrong.

Including but not limited to the great soul master Xiao Xiao.

This is the difference in the extraordinary system.

He was not sure whether warriors in the Heaven and Man Realm could use meditation to replace sleep, but the grandmaster Jingwei obviously could not do it. Neither could Wei Zhuang, the innate warrior, and first-, second-, and third-rate warriors such as Zi Nu, Han Fei, and Nong Yu, let alone Hong Lian who was even lower.

A super system excels in one area.

For example, the magic system.

It is very fragile itself, but its output is extremely strong.

It is known as a humanoid self-propelled artillery.

Actually?

Except for those who use magic to transform their bodies or use magic power to improve their physical fitness, most orthodox human magicians cannot live beyond a hundred years old. Even if there are a few magicians, they cannot live beyond two hundred years old and are still trapped in the shackles of lifespan.

There is also the extraordinary system in the Great Ruler.

Don't consider the fallacy about the speed of time.

A great emperor could not survive those gods in the Douluo Galaxy's divine world.

Therefore, being strong or not has nothing to do with the length of life.

It mainly depends on the rules.

A backdrop for viewing the world.

To put it bluntly, one world is different from another. Just because you can jump ten meters high on the moon doesn't mean you can jump ten meters high on other planets. Creatures that grow up in a low-pressure environment will be crushed to death if they are suddenly placed in a high-pressure environment.

“Maybe the whole planet is just a grain of sand.”

"Caught unwittingly by someone from a higher dimension."

“Then, it drifted away with the wind.”

“It is so difficult to find the truth.”

Ye Qingcang took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

Cross your hands and place them between your chest and abdomen.

Lean back in the rocking chair.

Silent all night.

However, Ye Qingcang's silence that night does not mean that others will remain silent that night.

There is no mention of Ying Zheng who was far away in Xianyang.

Let’s talk about Xinzheng at this moment.

Honglian and Jingwei in the palace.

We were chatting idly.

Most of the time, Honglian was talking and Jingwei was listening.

But on certain intelligence, Jingwei would still speak up and tell his own opinions: "It can be basically confirmed that the tide demon in the night is Madam Mingzhu. I have seen her and Madam Hu from afar. Although they are both very treacherous, they are both virgins. It is expected that they are related to the secret arts of Baiyue. The art of poison is the most famous method of Baiyue. But Madam Hu is obviously a weak woman who knows the method but not the way. Madam Mingzhu has practiced both the method and the way. She is a rare innate warrior!"

Although to Jingwei, there is no difference between innate warriors and first-rate warriors in front of her, not to mention that Madam Mingzhu herself is not good at fighting. Even if Madam Mingzhu is like Ji Wuye, who has been through hundreds of battles and has a body of iron and steel, it will be the same in front of Jingwei.

They are all things that can be killed with one sword.

But whether to kill Madam Mingzhu or not is actually not very important.

Some people are more useful when they are alive than when they are dead.

Keep the tide banshee.

It is like having a hostage held in the hands of quicksand in the night.

Moreover, the relationship between Chao Nuyao and Xueyi Hou is not ordinary.

They are cousins.

No one can say for sure whether the Blood-Robed Marquis would care about this relationship, but when the Chao Nuyao realizes that her life is not in her own hands, whether for the sake of survival or to prove her own worth and turn against them, this identity of hers can play an unexpected and unimaginable role, for example, harming Ji Wuye or the Blood-Robed Marquis Bai Yifei, not to mention leaking information.

Therefore, Jingwei will not touch Madam Mingzhu.

Besides, she doesn't have this mission.

No one could give her any tasks.

She followed Honglian into the palace simply because Honglian's temper was very much to her liking. Besides, Ye Qingcang did not have a fixed area for her activities. She came to protect Honglian voluntarily. There was nothing wrong with this approach, and it would not cause anyone's obstruction or suspicion.

But kill Madam Mingzhu.

This is beyond voluntary participation.

She is not Honglian's nanny.

Not even a member of Quicksand.

I really won't bother with that.

However, Honglian had no intention of ordering Jingwei around. In her mind, Jingwei and Zinu were similar, both were her godsisters. Zinu definitely could not enter the palace at will. The level of her cultivation was one aspect, as Zinu's level was not high and it was easy for others to notice her. The affairs of Liusha and Zilanxuan were another aspect. Wei Zhuang managed the Qijue Hall, and Han Fei was responsible for the intrigues and personal relationships in the court. It was not that Zinu did not want to be a hands-off boss, but that she could not find a suitable candidate to replace her.

Nanyue’s personality is still a little too gentle.

Although Nanyue is the type of person who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

With her third-rate martial arts skills.

Pick up the sword.

Six or seven ordinary people couldn’t get in.

But he wanted her to handle the complicated personal connections in Zilanxuan.

And there are those dignitaries.

It is undoubtedly unrealistic.

As for Honglian?

Not making things worse is the greatest help she can offer!
Her strength is not in managing Zi Lan Xuan.

But it lies in the trivial matters in the harem.

Although she is not Han Wangan's concubine and is certainly not as good as Madam Mingzhu and Concubine Hu in terms of pillow talk, she is Han Wangan's most beloved daughter. This identity gives her an innocent personality and allows her to obtain privileges from Han Wangan in many things.

It can even be said that it can change Han Wangan's original decision to a certain extent.

Therefore, Jingwei is the only person around Honglian that he can trust at present.

It is not that Honglian does not have a personal maid, but Honglian has a clear understanding of herself.

She's really bad at judging people.

Things come true in secret.

She still prefers to believe Jingwei.

Whatever is on my mind, I will tell Jingwei.

Honglian had indeed seen Ye Qingcang's faceless man. Zi Nu had also proposed a method, which was to replace the palace maids around Honglian with faceless men to create a safe environment for Honglian. This approach had its advantages as it could check and balance Madam Mingzhu. Even if Madam Mingzhu could not be suppressed, she could still make her feel constrained and like a thorn in her throat. To put it bluntly, Honglian was a flag placed by Liusha in the palace, specifically to compete with Ye Mu.

Zi Nu competes with Jade Tiger in a business war.

Wei Zhuang competed with Bai Yifei in military and political affairs.

Honglian faced off against Chao Yaoi in the harem.

The Straw-Cloaked Man was left to Ye Qingcang to deal with. In fact, Ye Qingcang didn't even need to do anything, as the Straw-Cloaked Man's intelligence force had been suppressed by Luowang without any breathing space. As the world's number one intelligence organization and killer organization, even the Black Ice Platform had to admit defeat. The intelligence organization under the Straw-Cloaked Man was not even as good as the Black Ice Platform, and could at most compete with the Shadow Secret Guards. Under Luowang's hands, they were suppressed and disappeared without any chance to struggle.

As for Han Fei, he competed with Ji Wuye.

Zhang Liang is too young at the moment.

Not useful.

Development is his first priority.

However, Zi Nu's plan was good.

But this plan was ultimately rejected by Honglian.

Honglian’s savagery is real.

But her kindness is not fake.

Today's Honglian is still in the state of Little White Flower, which is different from the later Chilian. In fact, even if she became Chilian, Chilian is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, and Honglian is even less so.

Regarding this practice of devouring and replacing the people around you.

Honglian didn't like it at all.

In her own words, she could not tell which of the palace maids around her were good or bad, and it was indeed her problem. Perhaps these palace maids were indeed bad, but as long as there was one good palace maid among them who was killed by the Faceless Man in this way, if their relatives knew about it, how sad would they be?

At worst, she could distance herself from these palace maids.

Don't let these palace maids get access to secrets.

As long as these palace maids didn't do anything to her.

It didn't hurt her.

He didn't betray her information, or in other words, he didn't get any evidence from her.

She would never attack these palace maids.

Moreover, although the Faceless Man is called the Faceless Man, he is not a human being in essence, nor can he only replace humans. He can be replaced by any small animal, and his communication function will not be affected.

So, in Honglian’s current bedroom.

There are quite a few faceless people.

Honglian deliberately showed interest in animals.

According to the arrangement of Quicksand.

During one of her outings, she followed Han Fei into a nearby underground black market, and bought a beautiful white fox from a businessman disguised as a killer from the Qi Jue Tang. In fact, it was a faceless man in beast form after being devoured. This sparked her interest in adopting small animals, and she began to adopt stray cats and dogs in the palace.

To this end, Han Fei deliberately acted out a rivalry with Honglian, that is, let Honglian deliberately be noticed by Han Wangan when she was playing with the white fox, and then, lead Han Wangan's questioning, and finally let Honglian pretend to be unable to withstand the interrogation, and honestly tell the process of Han Fei taking her to the underground black market, so that the white fox transformed by the faceless man would be registered in Han Wangan's memory, even if he met it again, it would not arouse Han Wangan's suspicion. Even if it aroused the suspicion of Madam Mingzhu and other concubines, the clear origin could dispel these people's suspicion.

The price was that Han Fei was severely criticized by King Han An the next day.

Commonly known as a scolding.

Then, Han Wangan specially found two guards.

Honglian was not forbidden to leave the palace.

Instead, he ordered Honglian to take the two guards with her whenever she left the palace in the future, and Han Fei was not allowed to send the two guards away in any way.

All I can say is that it is true that Han Wangan is in a bad state.

But they still pay great attention to the safety of their children.

I also have some understanding of the chaos in the outside world.

It's not really confusing.

As a result, during the three or four months that Ye Qingcang was away.

There are now dozens of stray cats and dogs in Honglian's bedroom.

Although the fighting power of these stray cats and dogs is indeed not as good as that of humans, the Faceless Man was extremely weak before possession, and a normal person could be killed with one slap. Their strength after possession depends on the creatures they possess, and the strength of cats and dogs is definitely not as good as that of humans.

But in terms of finding out information.

These cats and dogs play a huge role.

Many secrets in the palace are kept secret.

But I won’t avoid cats and dogs.

Especially for cats and dogs with owners, with collars specially marked by Honglian around their necks, most people would not dare to kill them at will.

In the palace, one person's death is a trivial matter.

As long as this person is not a favorite in the eyes of the nobles.

If you die, you will die.

Clean up the beginning and the end.

no big deal.

Looking at any imperial palace, whether it is the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty, the Korean Imperial Palace where Honglian lives, or the imperial palaces of the Zhao Dynasty, Chu State and other countries, the number of corpses in the cold palace will not be less than one hundred.

But what if these cats and dogs with owners die?

Attract the attention of the nobles behind these cats and dogs.

Some little secrets are hard to keep.

Don't think these noble people don't have the energy.

In fact, not only do these nobles have the energy, but those nobles who don't want to be involved in this matter don't mind helping. Although the beauties in Han Wangan's harem do not reach three thousand, there are still thirty of them. Except for Concubine Hu and Madam Mingzhu who can see Han Wangan on a daily basis, the rest of the concubines often can't see Han Wangan a few times a month. If there are no more children, the palace is dangerous, and those who understand it know it. There are no knowing how many princes and princesses were poisoned and aborted before they were born, and were born in infancy. Apart from the few personal maids beside them, these concubines are only accompanied by some small animals, and they will be alone for the rest of their lives.

One counts as one.

They are all idle people with nothing to do.

Plus, Honglian was the most favored princess.

In Han Wangan's mind.

His status is second only to the crown prince, and even above several other princes, such as the fourth prince Han Yu and the ninth prince Han Fei.

If the actual conditions only allow Han Wangan to choose one of the two.

As long as it doesn't offend the prince.

No matter who he faces, Honglian is the winner.

Moreover, the title of crown prince has always been a false proposition. What King Han needs is only a crown prince. It does not matter who this crown prince is. If the current crown prince Han is deprived of the crown prince position because of his mistakes, then King Han, when faced with this choice, will choose Honglian without hesitation and let the former crown prince die. Suppose that the position of crown prince Han eventually falls into the hands of the fourth son Han Yu, then Han Yu, who originally competed with Honglian as the fourth son and failed, will not be abandoned because he has the identity of crown prince. Honglian will be abandoned by King Han because of the difference in status. This is the source of the false proposition.

It’s not that Han Wangan doesn’t love his daughter Honglian.

Instead, Han Wangan must put inheritance before personal favor.

Just like Han Wangan had to put the country before his personal preferences.

Therefore, if the cats and dogs adopted by Honglian were killed because they saw something they shouldn't have seen, not to mention how the Faceless Man's system would cycle, it wouldn't matter if they died, they could just change their bodies and still record the information they saw before they died. As for those who did it, they would certainly consider the possibility that Princess Honglian would mobilize a large number of people to look for the cats and dogs, which would undoubtedly exaggerate the matter and be one of the stupidest practices.

With this idea in mind.

These faceless men in beast form have become a powerful tool for collecting intelligence.

Come to think of it.

What bad intentions could a cat have?
