Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 545: Fang Xiang tries to win over the heavens, Chu Wujiang wants to participate in the Wuzhe Conference (7.2k)

"I also need to go!"

"I want to catch my third brother and make him kneel down and admit his fault."

Fang Yiran's face was full of stubbornness and unwillingness.

She originally hated her eldest brother and killed her third brother, but now the situation has been reversed. How could she not go completely crazy?

Fang Xinran seemed to have a premonition and quickly refused:
"Fourth sister, I am enough for this matter."

"You stay at home and take charge of intelligence work."

"No, I want to go!"

Fang Yiran pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into his palm.

Blood bursts out!

This girl, who usually plays the role of a little devil, shows her will to Fang Xiang with ruthless actions.

"Yi Ran!"

Fang Xinran hurriedly injected vital energy into her sister.

Wonderful rejuvenation!

Her energy contained a strong healing power that could heal injuries in a short period of time, just like the secret of the Silver Moon.

The injuries on Fang Yiran's body disappeared in an instant.

Fang Yiran ignored the damage on his hands and asked softly:

"Father, is this enough?"

Fang Xiang originally just wanted to find something for them to do so that they wouldn't be immersed in sorrow. After all, investigating the Left-Way Alliance was more or less an achievement.

I didn't expect their determination to be so strong.

This gave Fang Xiang a new idea.

"follow me."

"Come together."

Fang Xinran wanted to persuade her again, but now she could only nod along with Fang Yiran and said:

"Yes, Father."

……

Prime Minister's Residence, Study
Fang Xiang took the two of them to the study and opened the deepest bookshelf. An incredible scene appeared: a portal.

This kind of martial arts holy land would cost huge amounts of money to build, but now it appeared in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was successfully activated by Prime Minister Fang.

Fang Xinran and Fang Yiran looked at each other.

It turns out that the most precious secret room of the Fang family is neither on the ground nor underground, but in another dimension.

It needs to go through a special portal to reach it.

Fang Xiang said calmly:
"Except Xiao Ran, no one from the family followed me into the portal."

"Anyone who wants to enter must sign a contract. If there is a risk of leaking secrets, the memory will be automatically destroyed."

"If you don't want to go in, your father has other arrangements."

As martial arts develop, in order to ensure the corresponding secrets, a contract to destroy memory will be adopted.

This is the highest level of confidentiality.

Memory destruction technique.

Its price is also very high, and it takes a second calamity soul a lot of effort and half a year to create one.

As a top-notch figure, Fang Xiang, who has a three-tribulation soul that can compete with the Duke of Zhenguo, naturally has the corresponding skills.

Fang Xinran and Fang Yiran had come here, so they naturally would not refuse and agreed immediately:

"Please arrange it, father."

Fang Xiang took out the contract and asked his children to sign it before they entered the other dimension together.

……

Fang Family, Alien Dimension

In the vast void, a faint light appears like a dream.

The three of them traveled through the turbulence of time and space and came to a world intertwined by gray fog and abyss.

Countless dark red dots of light were suspended in the sky, like the devil's eyes peering in.

Underfoot was the rugged rocky ground, carrying a scent of heat and corrosion, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression.

They seemed to have reached the abyss.

In this abyss, both vitality and magic power will be corroded. Fang Xiang deployed a thick shield to protect his daughter in this dangerous environment.

Before Fang Xinran had time to explore the surroundings, he saw a high platform, which was surrounded by magma, as if it was offering sacrifice to some evil power.

"Staff of the Abyss!"

"Father, could it be that the Fang family is colluding with..."

Fang Xinran reacted the fastest and was the most shocked.

The Fang family has always been known throughout the world in the name of Confucianism and has a great reputation.

Although Fang Fusheng has ruined his reputation, it is generally positive.

If the Fang family colluded...

Fang Xiang shook his head and said:
"That's not the case."

"The Fang family is not colluding with the demons, they are just using them, just like the Holy Land of Martial Arts is also studying the power of the evil god."

"How can we defeat them without research?"

But father, if we continue researching like this, won’t we get deeper and deeper into trouble?
Fang Xinran pursed her lips, thousands of words coming to her mind.

In this regard, Fang Yiran said more frankly:

"it does not matter."

"We are a family and we should stick together no matter what our family members have done."

"Second sister, is that right?"

Fang Xinran gritted his teeth and said:

"My little sister is right."

"As the sage said, protect your loved ones."

"Besides, my father would not do evil. There must be some reason for this!"

Fang Xinran needs a reasonable explanation.

Fang Xiang pointed at the treasure on the platform and said softly:

"This item is called the Staff of the Abyss. It can start the Abyss Game. Countless evil people want to get it."

"It has gone through countless generations of masters. Once the master dies, all of his luck, blood and flesh will belong to it, and it will continue to nourish and grow stronger."

"Since it came to the world, every place has been soaked with the blood of the human race."

Fang Xinran suddenly understood.

Even the winner of the Abyss Game must sign a final agreement.

The moment you die, all your blood, essence, and luck will belong to the devil, making the Staff of the Abyss even more powerful.

Fang Xiang is a legend. His reputation fifty years ago was no less than Fang Xiaoran's, and comparable to Chu Wujiang's today.

With the talent of a genius, it takes fifty years to become a primordial spirit, and a hundred years to become a three-tribulation primordial spirit.

Now she finally understood the origin of this legend.

Fang Xinran said quickly:
"Father, this thing can no longer be used."

“It’s too dangerous.”

Fang Yiran also nodded in agreement.

Fang Xiang smiled and said:

"My father never used it."

"But every evil person is obsessed with it. They compete in this dangerous game and even turn their loved ones into bargaining chips."

"Compared to the Young Heroes Association, this is one of the few opportunities to change your fate."

"For this glimmer of hope, countless people died."

"The heroes who followed the wrong path from generation to generation have turned into a handful of yellow earth."

Close relatives become bargaining chips?

Fang Xinran's heart trembled, but Fang Yiran whispered:

"Father, are you going to use us as bargaining chips?"

Fang Xiang laughed in silence and said:
"of course not."

"If I really need bargaining chips, I won't use you."

"The Fang family has as many guest officials, adopted sons, and adopted daughters as they want. Why do they have to do such an inhumane thing?"

"Besides, it doesn't make sense."

Fang Xiang never eats grass near his own backyard.

Those evil people all voluntarily participate in gambling and are willing to accept defeat.

Fang Xinran asked in confusion:

"So what exactly does father want to do?"

You can't just expose your own shortcomings.

Fang Xiang said without changing his expression:
"In the past, my father snatched the Staff of the Abyss in order to stop the Left-Way Alliance's plan to breed Gu."

“I thought something big could be accomplished.”

"Who would have thought that Yuanshi Tianmo would throw the dice again, causing the divine soldiers to roar, gathering the left-handed alliance, and convening the game."

"My goal this time is to completely put an end to the Abyss Game and promote the righteous path."

The basic skill of the nobility is acting.

Even if you want to kill all the people in the world, you must prove that this is the way of heaven and justice, and you must never admit that you are doing a bad thing.

Fang Xiang had been the prime minister for many years, so naturally he had mastered this skill to the highest level.

Fang Xinran couldn't help but agree:

"Father, you are wise!"

"But what should I do?"

Fang Xiang continued:

“When Yuanshi Tianmo held this ceremony, there would always be some casualties, which would allow the evildoers to gather their luck.”

"Rather than letting them succeed, it is better to send you over."

"In this competition, no matter how strong or weak your martial arts skills are, it doesn't matter."

"As a father, I have the ability to make you quit halfway. Even if you fail, I have a way to compensate you."

Now I understand.

Fang Xinran and Fang Yiran are both gifted with natural talents.

One is ranked 80th on the Young Phoenix List, and the other is ranked 5th on the Young Phoenix List.

One is the sound of nature, the other is a miraculous cure.

Excellent?
Very good, but not enough.

Whether it is to save Fang Xiaoran, win back Fang Wanjun, or participate in the Northern Expedition, it is far from enough.

Fang Xiang originally just wanted to use the Abyss Game to encourage them, but seeing that they were so ambitious, he brought one of the Witness family's trump cards.

Fang Xinran said in a deep voice:

"Father, what if I can win the entire game?"

Fang Xiang said softly:
"Then you will have a chance to obtain one wish from Yuanshi Tianmo."

"What my father obtained in the past was the Heart of the Earth, a natural treasure that is most suitable for the Fang family."

“But this time it’s going to be very, very difficult.”

"I just wanted to motivate you. Don't underestimate the heroes in the world."

Fang Xinran gritted his teeth and said:

“It doesn’t matter how difficult it is.”

Fang Yiran raised her hand and said:
"Father, I feel the same way."

Fang Xiang said in a deep voice:
"But you must obey your father's instructions. If he tells you to withdraw from the competition, you must withdraw."

The two shouted in unison:
"Yes, Father!"

After she finished her speech, Fang Xinran felt a little uneasy again. She couldn't help but ask:
"Father, if this matter is known to the court or the sect, what should we do?"

Don’t worry about winning, think about defeat first.

Fang Xinran has a better sense of the overall situation than Fang Yiran.

Once this matter is exposed, the Fang family will also suffer a lot.

As a result, Fang Xiang smiled and said:
"Father will inform the court and the three holy places of the intelligence I have collected."

"You two just broke into the inner circle of the left path."

"We will represent the imperial court and completely annihilate the Leftist Alliance!"

"Put an end to this tragedy."

Fang Xiang clasped his hands together.

As the prime minister, he has nothing to do with evil practices.

As long as the secret of the Wand of the Abyss is not revealed, no one will know who the banker behind the game is.

Emperor Hao raised nine evil demons, and then slaughtered them like piglets.

Isn’t it the same for Fang Xiang?

To him, the Left-wing Alliance was just a white glove that he could use at will, and he could simply discard it after squeezing out all its value.

He would never have anything to do with the underworld.

In this case, who can find the Fang family?
Fang Xinran and Fang Yiran said sincerely:
"Yes, Father!"

Fang Xinran and Fang Yiran rebuild their confidence.

They must expand their strength as much as possible before the Northern Expedition, and then participate in this grand expedition on behalf of Fang Xiaoran and the Fang family.

Fang Xiang added:
"Wait, there are two more points."

The two of them said quickly:

"Father, please speak."

Fang Xiang stretched out his first finger and said in a deep voice:

"First, you must know how to borrow luck. For example, if Cui Weiyang's great fortune is bestowed upon you, it can help you turn misfortune into fortune."

"The key reason why Xiao Ran ended up like this this time was that Cui Weiyang was delayed."

Fang Xinran gritted her teeth and said:

"Father, my brother has ended up like this because Cui Weiyang came too late. This woman cannot be trusted."

Fang Yiran nodded and said:
"Dad, I agree with my second sister."

"I'm afraid Cui Weiyang has ulterior motives and is deliberately wasting time."

Fang Xiang said in a deep voice:
"Don't ever think like that."

"Cui Weiyang is not the murderer and has done nothing wrong to the Fang family."

"The Fang family won't delay her. As long as she does one last thing, the Fang family can cancel the engagement based on her wishes, in the name of Xiao Ran's serious illness."

"Remember, this game is not about force. Luck is sometimes more important than anything else."

Now that Fang Xiaoran is in a life-threatening situation, Prime Minister Fang cannot delay for too long, otherwise it will damage the friendship between the Cui family and the Fang family.

As long as Cui Weiyang helps with one last thing, both parties can end the relationship in a decent manner.

It's better than making a big fuss.

Fang Xinran remained silent, while Fang Yiran took the initiative to ask:
"I understand. What about the second thing, Dad?" Fang Xiang continued to explain:
"The second thing is to spread information about the Abyss Game."

"We must inform the three holy places as much as possible, especially the Buddhist sect, and ask them to pay attention to internal security."

Fang Xinran was surprised and said:

"Father, why is this?"

Fang Xiang said calmly:
"The Yuanshi Tianmo has taken action. Mobo Xun will definitely mobilize the Buddhist disciples he has bewitched."

"The human race is going to march north to fight against the evil god's court. This is the whole big picture."

"The Evil God's Royal Court will definitely adopt a retreat tactic, and the Demon Kingdom will definitely wait for an opportunity to mobilize its army."

"At the same time, Demon Po Xun and Yuanshi Tianmo are responsible for the internal strife and stirring up the belly of the human race."

"The Abyss Game is only the first fuse of the war between the human race and the evil gods."

"Remember, we always stand on the side of the human race."

Yuanshi Tianmo used the Heavenly Fate Realm as bait, trying to make Fang Xiang a puppet under his control. How could Fang Xiang do as he wished?

He wants to account for everything, including Yuanshi Tianmo and Moboxun.

Fang Xinran and Fang Yiran took a deep breath and nodded:

"My daughter understands."

"Then you guys go back first."

Fang Xiang looked at the Abyss Staff in front of him, sat alone on the ground in front of the magma, and silently said in his heart:

[Buddhism is going to hold a great meeting, and at the same time, bring out the true meaning of Nirvana to gather Buddhist disciples from all over the world. ]

[Maboshun will definitely not miss such a good opportunity and will definitely encourage the Buddhist disciples to participate in the Abyss Game. ]

[Talented people who only rely on the left path cannot be raised to the realm of destiny. 】

[The Yuanshi Tianmo wants to use me, and I am no exception. 】

[If I am not mistaken, the true meaning of Nirvana in Buddhism is my most likely gain.]

[Other forces will be involved to some extent.]

[The more you get involved, the greater the rewards I will gain. ]

【The dice has been thrown.】

This time it was Fang Xiang's turn, trying to be a little better than heaven.

Holding the Staff of the Abyss and relying on his status in the imperial court, he wiped out the Left-Way Alliance, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

……

Fang Xiang arranged the overall situation and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Chu Wujiang first sent Qian Huan away, planning to use him to investigate the Abyss Game, and then brought Qiao'er back to the Chu Mansion as a hostage, planning to consolidate Qianmen's power.

Even if Qian Huan is unreliable, the power of Qianmen alone can still recover some of the investment.

Not only that, Chu Wujiang also specially summoned Wang Yan back.

Wang Yan was recently negotiating with the Minister of Revenue Tao Jincheng on the issuance of national debt. After receiving the notice, he did not dare to delay and ran back quickly.

When she saw Miss Qiao'er, she couldn't help showing surprise on her face and said:
"It's a bit like that."

"No, it's very similar."

Wang Yan was amazed, but Qiao'er felt uneasy and rebuked him:
"Like what?"

"I am me, I am not anyone else!"

Wang Yan said quickly:

"I am talking about Miss Qiao'er, who looks a bit like the seventh young lady of the Wang family, Wang Nianchu."

"It is said that Miss Seven's nickname is also Qiao'er."

"But I haven't heard about Miss Nianchu's death, or the news of her having twins..."

Wang Nianchu, Wang Qiaoer...

Qiao'er kept chewing on these two names in her mind, and she couldn't help but ask:

"How are Wang Nianchu's parents?"

Wang Yan said with a smile:

"Nature is good."

"Her father is Wang Yi, the master of the Wang family's Yuanshen and the candidate for the next head of the family. Her mother is the daughter of His Royal Highness Prince Qin, Princess Qingheng."

"She also has a brother, Wang Ren, who is ranked fourth on the Tianjiao list. No, he is now ranked second."

"In terms of family background, the only women of this generation who can surpass her are probably Cui Weiyang, Princess Qionghua, Fairy Fengyao and others."

If the happiness of the world is measured by status and wealth, then Wang Nianchu must be one of the ones with the best reincarnation skills.

But Qiao'er couldn't believe that she would be associated with such a name.

It's too unreal.

So much so that she didn't want to believe it.

Miss Qiaoer said in a low voice:
"Even if I look like her, I will never be her."

"Please stop trying to persuade me."

Faced with Wang Yan's attack, Qiao'er immediately fled.

She chose to escape and was unwilling to face reality.

Wang Yan watched Qiao'er flee, then turned to Chu Wujiang and asked softly:
"Master, would you like me to persuade him or ask the elders from the Wang family to come and help?"

"I suspect that this may involve stealing."

The cat replaces the prince.

It sounds horrifying that the legitimate daughter of a saintly family was replaced by someone else.

Once it is confirmed, the entire Tianming Dynasty will be plunged into bloodshed.

Since the invention of possession and disguise, all major forces have put in enough effort to prevent internal traitors in order to prevent the core backbone of the family from being replaced by others.

Similarly, if they discovered this substitution, their revenge would be unprecedented.

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, wait until she figures it out."

"If she doesn't want to, we won't force her."

Wang Yan heard this, covered his mouth and smiled:

"The master is really kind and gentle to women."

"In the future, will my family have a new sister?"

Chu Wujiang grabbed Wang Yan in a bad mood, hugged her in his arms, slapped her butt hard, and pretended to scold:
"How do you talk to the master?"

After being beaten, Wang Yan blushed and said:

"I know my crime, and I ask the master to punish me."

You bullied me, come and bully me.

Wang Yan's eyes were full of spring and his body seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

Chu Wujiang held the beauty in his arms, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Yan'er, let's talk about business first."

"We can't force Qiao'er into this matter, but we can't just sit there and wait. We need to prepare in advance."

"We need to conceal Qiao'er's origins and secretly tell the Wang family that we have received some strange news that the seventh daughter of the Wang family has been swapped. Let them investigate on their own."

"By the way, you can tell Brother Wang first."

"What's fake won't be real. Wait until the Wang family comes to a conclusion, and then we'll make our plans."

Chu Wujiang respected Qiao'er's will. Since she was unwilling to return to the Wang family, he would let the Wang family conduct a self-investigation first to prevent this deception from causing a huge disaster.

After all, Wang Ren has a good relationship with Chu Wujiang, and if his sister is in trouble, he will definitely help.

"The master is wise!"

Wang Yan showed admiration, which made Chu Wujiang smile:
"It's just a small matter, why are you flattering me?"

Wang Yan snuggled in Chu Wujiang's arms and shook his head:
"I'm not flattering you, I really like you."

"I am willing to do anything for my master."

Wang Yan has a very obvious admiration for the strong. Apart from her own low status, Chu Wujiang perfectly meets all her ideas of a husband.

In addition, she turned to practicing the "Five Desires' Paradise Sutra", so every time she saw Chu Wujiang, she would be happy and joyful, and the same was true for Li Xian and others.

Interests and desires eventually transform into deep love.

It’s just that Wang Yan’s progress is much faster than others.

The witch's heart is almost condensed successfully.

Mobo Xun is known as the peerless demon, and he specializes in controlling people's hearts.

His [True Meaning of the Heavenly Demon] is not just vulgar desires, on the contrary, he can sneak into Buddhism and preach to Buddhist monks, and can make them speechless.

Therefore, his martial arts also pursue high-level emotions.

It is just that it is based on desire, and step by step satisfies the deep emotional needs in the heart, achieving liberation and bliss.

Lust is just the foundation.

Chu Wujiang felt the love of the beautiful woman and chuckled:

"I accept Yan'er's happiness."

"It's just that there are still important matters to deal with."

"What about the national debt?"

Wang Yan finally woke up from his love and quickly replied:

"Please rest assured, Master. Tao Jincheng controls the Shenlong Bank and has extensive experience in debt issuance."

"He intends to use the talisman to create a special weapon to verify authenticity, and use it to record and verify national debt."

“Most of the processes for the national debt have already been worked out.”

"The dukes and officials of various states are all willing to subscribe to the national debt. All in all, Tianjing will be able to solve the problem of 10 billion taels of silver."

"only……"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"Just what?"

Wang Yan said with some difficulty:
"But the emperor is far away. After leaving Tianzhou, the Minister of Revenue is worried about whether the sales of the national debt can reach 10 billion taels, and he is afraid that it will be a loss on his hands."

"After all, this national debt is a new thing."

Even though Shenlong Money House is widely distributed and has branches in hundreds of states across the country, it would still feel overwhelmed when faced with a total amount of 10 billion.

In one go, it is equivalent to collecting more than twice the national tax revenue. Such a large amount of issuance makes people feel uneasy.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"That's easy. We can change it to [offtake and distribution]."

Wang Yan asked in surprise:
“What is offtake distribution?”

Tao Jincheng and Wang Yan's idea was to negotiate and do business with each powerful family one by one.

The nobles in Tianjing are easy to talk to.

After all, they lived in Tianjing, and most of them came from aristocratic families and powerful people, so they regarded the world as their own.

In this case, the resistance to buying government bonds will not be too great. On the contrary, each family will be somewhat interested and willing to try it out.

Because they believe that the things that the Duke of Zhenguo, the Marquis of Guanjun, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are jointly promoting will at least not turn against them.

Over the years, Prince Chu Wujiang's reputation is still worth some money.

However, once they leave Tianjing, the effectiveness of these reputations will be greatly reduced, and getting them to subscribe to government bonds will become a big problem.

As a result, Chu Wujiang adopted the principle of taking what is available, smiled and said:
"For example, if the face value of the national debt is 100 taels, we sell it to the sects in various places in the form of 99 taels or 95 taels, and ask them to help sell and subscribe."

"They can also make a lot of money, so they are naturally interested in helping us sell and reducing the cost and pressure of sales."

"If they can't sell it, they'll just have to bear the consequences."

“With the distribution profit, we can convert them.”

Chu Wujiang has always had many financial means.

The contract sales he proposed was not something uncommon.

It is difficult for manufacturers to engage in direct sales as they have to leave enough profit for distributors.

Wang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s indeed a good idea.

The opponents that were originally to be conquered will be transformed into sales allies.

But Wang Yan still said with some concern:

"If this is the case, will the court be under greater pressure from interest payments?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"We can issue two types of national debt. One is for the sects to distribute, with lower interest rates, and the other is for the court to sell directly, with higher interest rates. We will always find a way."

Wang Yan was even more convinced now.

If the imperial court were to sell the silver itself, it would be very stressful to gather 10 billion taels of silver in a short period of time. Moreover, the sects in various places that lent money might even pretend to obey and secretly resist.

After all, their money houses also absorb silver and money for circulation.

Now the imperial court is like a giant whale, siphoning money from the world, which will definitely have an impact on them. They will claim that the imperial court has issued national bonds and will not repay the money.

Now Chu Wujiang can use the contracting and distribution method to divide and disintegrate, and pick out the cooperative and the opposition factions.

Those who are willing to cooperate with the court can get some discounts.

Those who are unwilling to cooperate with the court will jump out and let the court settle the score with them later.

This seems perfect, even the interest issue is taken into consideration.

Wang Yan couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Master, is there anything you don't know?"

"Give birth to a child."

Chu Wujiang said confidently, and took Wang Yan up. The daughter-in-law of the Zhen family suddenly had tears in her eyes and whispered:

"I am lucky to receive the grace of my master."

Chu Wujiang took Wang Yan back to the room and enjoyed the ultimate pleasure.

He didn't know how many times he had spent such absurd days, and it seemed like he would never get tired of them.

Chu Wujiang likes and is willing to practice his martial arts through pleasure.

I don’t know how long it took, as if even the heavens could not tolerate such absurdity. Just after Wang Yan fainted from happiness, his maid Baili Jin ran over and knocked on the door.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
"Master Hou!"

Chu Wujiang covered Wang Yan with a quilt and asked softly:
"whats the matter?"

Baili Jin said quickly:
"My Lord, Wuhuaan is here to visit."

Wuhua Temple is a famous Buddhist force in Nanzhou and one of the four Buddhist temples.

The dragon girl transformed from a demon into a human and joined the group, becoming the eldest sister of Wuhua Temple.

A few days ago, Chu Wujiang implanted a demonic thought in her body to eavesdrop on related matters.

Now Chu Wujiang was very clear about her purpose and couldn't help but smile:
"Tell her to wait. I will be there soon."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

……

Taoranju, living room
When the Dragon Girl saw Chu Wujiang, she spoke directly:

"I came here this time to invite you to attend the Wuzhe Conference."

The Mahayana Temple in Florida held a grand ceremony.

It is very close to Nanzhou.

As the saying goes, Taoism in the north, Buddhism in the south, and Confucianism in the middle.

Places like Tianzhou are more of the sphere of influence of Confucianism, the north is controlled by Taoism, and the south is the private territory of Buddhism.

Under such circumstances, Mahayana Temple is very close to Nanzhou.

You see, this is just a coincidence.
