Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 682.681. Bai Yifei's Transformation!

Is she trustworthy?

Watching Madam Mingzhu's departing figure.

After the palace gates were closed.

Honglian, who had rolled herself into a caterpillar shape, asked from inside the blankets.

Jingni remained silent.

It seemed like they didn't hear it.

The reluctance to answer was quite obvious.

But Ye Qingcang was not as taciturn as Jing Ni.

He smiled calmly after hearing Honglian's question.

He turned to look at Honglian.

He replied patiently, "It may be believable, or it may not, but whether it is believable or not, it doesn't matter in the face of absolute power. She is a smart person, so she knows what she should do. What I'm afraid of is that she is not a smart person, because an unsmart person is prone to making some foolish moves, even if it won't affect me much, at most it will cause me some trouble and waste some of my time."

"Bad people rack their brains."

"It's better for a fool to have a clever idea."

"Is that what you mean?"

Recalling what Ye Qingcang had once said, Honglian borrowed it temporarily.

Ye Qingcang nodded.

The current Crimson Lotus is essentially an enhanced version of Crimson Lotus.

Because she knew many historical allusions.

No one can escape the shackles of the times.

Sometimes, being able to think three steps ahead for every step you take is enough to understand the world.

It's like openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass.

This statement is not valid at present.

Because Han Xin is not yet available.

Of course, Ye Qingcang isn't entirely sure whether Han Xin actually exists. The Qin's Moon system is independent of history, like a derivative. If history were to follow, Han Fei would definitely not be in his twenties at this moment, let alone return to his country to fight for the throne. Even this most important age has been altered, so who knows if the hidden dragon Han Xin has actually been born yet?

Therefore, Honglian's knowledge was not bad.

However, their ability to act has weakened considerably.

It's achievable to cite classical texts and draw inferences from one instance to another.

For Honglian to say such a thing.

Ye Qingcang was not surprised.

"So, does that mean I don't need to monitor her anymore?"

Jing Ni gently placed the cleaned Jing Ni sword back into its sheath.

At the same time, I confirmed with Ye Qingcang.

Ye Qingcang nodded.

He openly admitted, "That's what I mean."

Jing Ni didn't say anything more.

This is not resistance, but support.

Regardless of Ye Qingcang's current status as the leader of Luo Wang, or the supernatural methods he has demonstrated, she will not disobey Ye Qingcang's decisions and orders.

She believed that what she could see, Ye Qingcang could also see, and perhaps even see further and think more deeply than she could.

As the saying goes, "Cast a long line to catch a big fish."

Seemingly inactive, but in reality, they are plotting something much bigger.

"I wonder what Bai Yifei will do after learning about what happened tonight. Ji Wuye is a smart man, as is Emerald Tiger, including the leader of the intelligence organization, the Straw-Clothed Man. But they have no choice, and they know that themselves. So they will definitely resist to the end."

"But white is not the same."

"Bai Yifei comes from a military family."

“Even the son of a marquis.”

"Her family has received the king's favor for generations."

"Even if they are not as powerful as the Zhang family who served as prime ministers of Han during the Five Dynasties period, they are not much different. After all, in this era, the gun is more powerful than the pen. In fact, in most eras, the gun is more powerful than the pen. Countries that rely on the gun to establish themselves often perish due to excessive power, which is the opposite of countries that perish under humiliation."

"In short, they are all good, they are all loyal subjects."

"Unless absolutely necessary."

"Otherwise, Bai Yifei would not have given up this good reputation of being loyal to the emperor and loving the country."

Ye Qingcang slowly took a sip of tea.

As a princess of South Korea.

She was also the most beloved daughter of King Han An.

In Honglian's palace, everything is set to the highest standard.

All of them are complete.

It's not difficult to brew a pot of tea on short notice.

In addition, not much equipment is needed; Ye Qingcang can start a fire by himself.

Therefore, this behavior is not surprising.

It won't attract the attention of others.

Honglian didn't react much. She just lay on the bed next to her, wrapped in a blanket, quietly watching Ye Qingcang drink his tea in silence.

Until the cup of tea is finished.

Ye Qingcang then took his leave.

He chuckled and said, "It's getting late. Although it's a bit late to say this now, it's already past four in the morning. Even if you lie down and go to sleep now, it's not really time to say you should rest. But considering you've been busy most of the night, saying you should rest isn't just empty talk. I'm leaving now, you don't need to see me off..."

"Fine……"

Honglian yawned lazily.

Adrenaline is indeed a wonderful thing.

When you encounter danger, it will give you explosive power far exceeding that of ordinary people, but when you escape danger, it will retract this power in an overdrawn form, including the explosive power that was previously increased.

It's like borrowing money.

If you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again.

Honglian is in this state.

Normally, Honglian should rest after 8 PM. That is to say, around 8 PM, Honglian can remove her makeup, change her clothes, and lie in bed. Although some people fall asleep the moment their head hits the pillow, most people still need to toss and turn in bed for more than ten minutes before finding their own rhythm and falling asleep peacefully. However, Honglian resolutely chose to go out to deliver the message last night. When she returned to her palace, it was already past 2 or 3 AM. She was already drowsy and was startled by Madam Mingzhu's entry. Her adrenaline may not have surged, but the mental pressure was definitely overwhelming. It is unlikely that she can let go of this pressure and fall asleep without thinking about anything in a short time, because mental illness is incurable.

To put it bluntly, even if Jingni tells Honglian that it's okay and she can go to sleep...

Honglian was still worried.

Only after it is certain that this matter has been completely resolved.

Only then can Honglian let go of all her burdens.

But when she lets go of all her burdens, all her weariness will return.

Make her fall asleep quickly.

The principle is simple.

In colloquial terms, it's like a bowstring.

A balance of tension and relaxation is the right way.

If you keep this tension up for too long, it will snap.

Therefore, after breathing a sigh of relief, Honglian had the idea of ​​giving Ye Qingcang away. Although she was a bit willful, she still had the manners of a princess. However, this manners were not enough to support her to resist her instincts. She was sleepy, and before she could say anything, her little head drooped down and she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

"If you have time, teach her some real skills."

before leaving.

Ye Qingcang said softly to Jing Ni beside him.

The so-called true skill is inner strength.

This is somewhat similar to the battle of sword qi at Mount Hua in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

Both are indispensable.

Honglian's swordsmanship is quite skilled.

Moreover, it's not just for show.

Although many of the techniques were designed for aesthetic purposes, the swordsmanship instructors of the royal guards in the Korean royal palace did not hold back in terms of killing skills. Even if they were not as good as Jing Ni, a master of swordsmanship, they were still quite remarkable and provided a good foundation for Hong Lian.

A towering building can indeed be built from the ground up.

But the current Red Lotus has clearly not reached that level.

But what truly makes a martial artist extraordinary is their unique internal energy cultivation.

The internal energy cultivated through internal martial arts can not only be used in combat and daily life, but also subtly improve one's physical fitness. Once you've mastered it, jumping three meters high is no problem at all.

Only when this condition is met can a martial artist be considered a truly inhuman being.

Honglian is just one step away from succeeding.

In fact, it was correct that the Imperial Guards and their instructors didn't teach her the later internal energy cultivation techniques. Although Honglian's family background could support her cultivation of internal energy, most internal energy cultivation techniques require a huge investment of resources, but this was not a problem for a princess like Honglian. It's just that, as the saying goes, "a knight-errant uses martial arts to break the law, and a scholar uses literature to disrupt the law." If Honglian cultivated internal energy, she might be able to fly over rooftops or do other such things. If she caused trouble, Prince Han An certainly wouldn't blame Honglian; the blame would naturally fall on the people who taught her.

That could very well be a capital offense. Moreover, although there are basic martial arts techniques in the martial arts world...

Even the most basic martial arts techniques require navigating the martial arts world to learn about or even read.

The military exists independently of the martial arts world.

It also exists independently outside of the temple.

Most of the generals learned family-inherited skills.

It was never meant to be shared with outsiders.

Therefore, in terms of skill alone, similar to fencing competitions in later generations, Honglian would definitely be the strongest, stronger than Nongyu and Han Fei who had never practiced, perhaps evenly matched with a battlefield warrior like Li Kai, slightly weaker than Zi Nu, and certainly weaker than Wei Zhuang and Jing Ni.

But if it comes to a fight, Honglian can't beat anyone.

Even Nongyu, who wasn't very skilled in swordsmanship.

Internal forces surged.

He could also send Honglian flying with a single slap.

This is the effect of internal force.

It is also an advantage of internal strength.

The past is the past, and the present is the present. If Honglian is still not allowed to learn internal skills now, she may not even be able to protect herself when problems arise in the future. Although Ye Qingcang can transform into thousands of bodies and protect Honglian in the state of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, people ultimately have to rely on themselves, and Honglian must eventually learn to be independent.

Even if we take a step back, it would be good to add an extra layer of protection for Honglian.

Not to mention that Honglian is very interested in this.

I've just been rejected repeatedly.

"Speaking of which, how's Li Kai doing?"

"Has Madam Hu discovered it?"

"Did Madam Hu notice anything unusual?"

During the time Ye Qingcang left the Qin's Moon Star System and returned to the Douluo Star System, the Luo Net in Xinzheng was mostly managed by Jing Ni.

Logically, he should have directly asked Zi Nu about Li Kai's situation.

Because it was Zi Nu who arranged the follow-up.

But I left in too much of a hurry.

I want to execute the actions precisely at the right moment.

There was no time to ask Zi Nu these questions.

Fortunately, asking Jingni yielded the same result.

The intelligence network of Luo Wang is far superior to that of Zi Lan Xuan, and the Faceless Man is even better.

Unfortunately, although there are many Faceless Men, there aren't so many that they can be wasted at will. They wouldn't deliberately devour other objects to monitor Li Kai and Madam Hu just to satisfy Ye Qingcang's gossip and give Ye Qingcang something new to eat.

For such a trivial matter, asking Jingni is perfectly reasonable.

Jingni was also aware of this.

Nodding, she explained, "Li Kai's relationship with Madam Hu has progressed, but it's currently stalled by Madam Hu's resistance. Therefore, Miss Zi Nu has been considering whether to have Li Kai reveal his identity to Madam Hu, including Nong Yu's identity..."

"That's it..."

Ye Qingcang tapped his hand thoughtfully.

I've decided to talk to Zi Nu about this tomorrow.

Although Madam Hu was completely devoted to Li Kai.

But the matter was accomplished in secrecy.

If Madam Hu is not clever enough, she might leak information, allowing Ji Wuye and Ye Mu to notice something amiss, thus ruining the plan.

In this world, you don't need evidence to arrest someone.

All you need to do is doubt.

Moreover, Li Kai could not withstand interrogation under the cover of night.

Li Kai's disguise might fool outsiders.

But it could never fool Ji Wuye.

Because it was Ji Wuye who promoted Liu Yi to the position of Left Sima, no one understood Liu Yi's abilities and background better than Ji Wuye, in addition to the interrogation methods used by Nightfall.

Leaks were inevitable.

Their sudden intimacy might arouse suspicion among outsiders.

It's better to leave it as it is.

To keep it a secret from outsiders.

In any case, they will eventually recognize each other.

Whether it's a day earlier or a day later, it doesn't matter.

Many things depend on the process.

But there are still some things to see how it goes.

However, it's too early to talk about these things now.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Hei Bai Xuan Jian is about to arrive in Xinzheng."

"This is the message we received the night before the Net."

Jing Ni confessed voluntarily.

Before Ye Qingcang became the master of Luo Wang, she was naturally a prisoner who did not obey his orders. However, after Ye Qingcang became the master of Luo Wang, she became his capable assistant and is currently helping him handle internal affairs in South Korea.

This includes personnel relocation in various locations.

There is also coordination with Xianyang.

It is worth mentioning the occultation of the sun. Because the situation of the occultation is quite complicated, there is currently no clear arrangement or plan.

"Black and White Xuanjian?"

Ye Qingcang nodded and repeated the name to himself.

As one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue in the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

Hei Bai Xuan Jian's strength is still above Jing Ni's.

However, there's no need to worry too much.

Compared to the other masters of the Eight Swords of Yue, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was nothing.

In addition, Hei Bai Xuan Jian will also obey his orders as the master of the Net.

There is no need to worry about this.

Waved his hand.

He walked out of the palace on his own.

And at the same time.

Xinzhengwai

Bai Yifei, having tallied the losses, stared at the data with a grim expression.

What pained him most was not the supplies.

It's not about that wealth either.

But people.

The white-armored soldiers were his personal guards.

He feels sad every time someone dies.

Not to mention the deaths of a number of people.

Moreover, the most important point is that Tianze was rescued at the exact timing, which makes it hard for him not to suspect that it was premeditated, or that there was a problem within Nightfall.

Even if he doesn't yet know exactly where the problem lies.

I'm not sure if my guess is correct.

But plan ahead.

Take precautions before they happen.

"We should still bet on both sides!"

In the study room.

The candlelight flickered uncertainly.

Bai Yifei's profile was blurred and elusive.

Loyalty and treachery are separated by a single thought.

Moreover, removing corrupt officials from the court is also a form of loyalty.

"Great General, Great General."

"Please don't let me down."

"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to play the role of a loyal subject."

Bai Yifei's soft sigh was buried under the fading night.

It too was left behind in the night of last night.
