Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 227: Ye Qingzhou

Qiyu City, the royal palace.

"Mother."

Lian Hongying arrived in gorgeous attire, looking graceful and elegant. She did not need any makeup to look stunningly beautiful, so stunning that it dazzled everyone.

"Hongying, come with me to welcome the envoy from Yu Country. The person coming this time is Ji Boying, the prince of Yi Wang who is from the Jintian clan."

After Lian Huozhi finished speaking, he took a few more glances at Lian Hongying's outfit, revealed a satisfied expression and said to her, "I heard that the prince of Prince Yi is handsome and talented. He is only over 200 years old this year, but his cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Ascension Realm. He is only one step away from becoming a god."

"Mother, why are you telling me this?"

Lian Hongying was startled instantly. She understood at this moment that the reception of the envoys from the Yu Kingdom was all fake and the real purpose was to arrange a blind date for her.

Naturally, she was extremely reluctant about this.

Lian Huozhi saw that Lian Hongying was quite resistant to this matter, so she couldn't help but persuade her: "Mother knows that you have great ambitions, but even I can't do it alone when it comes to passing on the throne. To tell you the truth, King Heng and Queen E have secretly supported Qixia to inherit the throne. Although you have reached the divine realm and been crowned a king in the human world, your foundation is still too shallow to ascend to the throne."

Lianhuozhi was also quite helpless about this.

She had more than a hundred children, but her two favorites were Lian Qixia and Lian Hongying.

Among them, Lian Qixia is the eldest daughter and her first child. She has been trained as the heir since she was a child. She has always been by her side and worked hard for her.

Lian Hongying is the most talented among her children and knows how to sympathize with the people. Under Lian Hongying's governance, Huajian City has always been well organized and prosperous.

Although many people in the outer city of Huajian City still live in poverty, in fact, they are all refugees who have moved here from outside. Compared with other cities in Luosha Women's Kingdom, Huajian City has done a good job in people's livelihood.

In many other cities, the lower-class people don’t even have the chance to work like beasts of burden, and even survival is a luxury.

"Mother, I don't want to marry outside the family."

Lian Hongying pursed her lips, but her attitude was very firm: "My daughter has pledged her life to the country. The sword in my hand will only be wielded for the people of Luosha Women's Country."

"Oh, you kid..."

In fact, Lianhuozhi had always been watching the struggle between the two sisters.

But the palms and backs of her hands are all made of flesh, so what can she, as a mother, do?

Today's Rakshasa Women's Kingdom is in trouble both internally and externally, with external worries and internal troubles.

Despite the calm situation, undercurrents have long been surging beneath the surface, with various forces constantly fighting openly and secretly, and pulling each other's feet.

Among them, there are even the Scale Clan and the Feather Clan who are making frequent moves behind the scenes and want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom.

Therefore, just to maintain the balance of the court, Lianhuozhi was exhausted.

The eldest daughter, Lian Qixia, has a domineering personality, but she sticks to the ancestral system and has always been keen to protect the interests of the vested interest groups, thus gaining the support of generals and nobles.

The youngest daughter, Lian Hongying, is stubborn but enterprising. She has always advocated reforms to the internal affairs and system of the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom, thus touching the interests of many powerful and wealthy families and causing her to be criticized and excluded.

However, there are also many middle and lower-level military officers from aristocratic families, as well as martial arts masters among the civilians, who are willing to follow Lian Hongying. This is also an emerging force that cannot be ignored.

If one of them is not handled properly, the entire Rakshasa Women's Kingdom may be torn apart by the power struggle between the two sisters.

For Lianhuozhi, the best solution at the moment is for his eldest daughter to inherit the throne and stabilize the internal situation.

The youngest daughter married into the Yu Kingdom, and through the line of King Yi, she obtained foreign aid from the Jin Tian clan, thus improving the diplomatic environment of the Luosha Women's Kingdom.

In this way, contradictions and conflicts can be easily resolved.

However, Lian Hongying obviously did not accept such an outcome. Marrying far away in the Yu Kingdom and leaving her hometown was not what she wanted.

What she wanted was to personally lead the country to get rid of its chronic illness and move towards prosperity, just like the first monarch of the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom did in history.

Lian Hongying is not obsessed with power and status, but she wants to promote reforms. Without power and status, nothing can be accomplished, so she will not hesitate to compete with Lian Qixia for the throne.

…………

At this time, above the Kingdom of Rakshasa Women, a golden chariot was being dragged by four wild birds with colorful wings and was flying across the clouds.

The four crazy birds all have the blood of the phoenix. Their crowns are extremely gorgeous, their postures are even more arrogant, and their bodies radiate powerful life fluctuations. Wherever they pass, all the birds submit to them.

And in the gorgeous carriage, there were two people sitting.

One of them was wearing a gorgeous white robe with gold edges. He had a human appearance except for a pair of eyes that were as sharp as an eagle's.

He is Ji Boying, a member of the royal family of Yu State who was born in the Jintian clan. His father is King Yi, one of the Eight Kings.

Extraordinary family background, outstanding talent, noble status...

When Ji Boying was born, he possessed everything that countless people desired. Martial arts, power, wealth, and beauty were all readily available to him.

So, he became tired of these worldly desires and developed greater ambitions.

"Uncle Yu, do you think my plan can succeed?"

Ji Boying's gaze passed over the sea of ​​clouds outside the car window, and his golden eyes and dark pupils instantly became bottomless.

"Your Highness has far-reaching strategies. He will surely be able to control the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom in his hands, laying a solid foundation for victory in the Eight Feathers Kingship competition three years later."

Sikong Zhen said complimentingly.

Within the Kingdom of Yu, succession to the throne has always been a matter of "fighting", so the one who can ascend to the throne must be an outstanding person in every aspect.

Only such a person can lead the Feather Clan to sit firmly on the throne of overlord of Kunlun Cave Heaven.

Compared with the homogeneous ethnic group of the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom, the composition of the Yu Kingdom seems a bit complicated.

There are a total of 27 tribes named after birds in the country, all of which evolved from tribes in ancient times, such as the Fengniao clan, the Xuanniao clan, the Bozhao clan, the Qingniao clan, the Danniao clan, the Zhuhong clan, the Lujiu clan, the Hujiu clan, the Shuangjiu clan and so on.

Among them, there are eight branches of the Feng royal family, with eight kings. They have the most honorable status in the Yu Kingdom and have always been responsible for astronomy and calendar, and have the power to govern the country.

Every time before the old king went to Yujing, he would step down and then elect a new king.

The new king was not appointed by the old king, but eight outstanding talents were selected from the eight major Feng royal families. Each of them led 10,000 soldiers and entered the Tianyi Holy Ruins. Under the watchful eyes of the ancestral gods, they shed their blood and competed for victory.

The king's power is granted by God, and the winner is the king!
In today's Yu Kingdom, among the eight royal families of the Feng clan, the Dihong clan and the Jintian clan are currently the most powerful and have the greatest chance of successfully competing for the throne.

Ji Boying has already confirmed that he will fight on behalf of the Jintian clan. Before that, he wants to secretly control the Rakshasa Female Kingdom in order to increase his own foundation.

The golden carriage, towed by the mad bird, soon arrived at Qiyu City.

The Yu Kingdom is the strongest country in Kunlun Cave Heaven. Its strength and status are second only to the Queen Mother of the West. Therefore, even if only a prince is born, the king Lianhuozhi will go out to greet him in person and be servile.

"Meet the Prince of Yi."

Lian Huozhi laughed sweetly, and then introduced, "This is my little girl Hongying."

"It turns out to be King Chan in person. Nice to meet you."

Ji Boying then deliberately showed an attitude of long-time admiration and took the initiative to get close to Lian Hongying: "I am very happy to hear that His Royal Highness Prince Chan has ascended to the divine realm."

After saying that, Ji Boying took out a colorful treasure box from the Sumeru Ring he carried with him.

There was nothing else in the treasure box except a red-gold feather, shining brightly, which was presented in front of Lianhuozhi and Lian Hongying.

"This is the Vermillion Bird feather, on which are three strands of Nanming Lihuo. Your Highness Prince Chan is practicing fire-attributed techniques. With this divine fire, your cultivation will surely reach a new level."

The Nanming Li Fire, one of the nine divine fires, is the Li fire of the innate Bagua. It is also the companion fire of the divine beast Suzaku clan, so it is extremely powerful, especially when used to deal with evil spirits and ghosts, the damage is doubled.

In addition, the nature of the Nanming Lihuo can be warm or fierce, and it has the power to integrate nature and borrow the power of heaven and earth. Once it is used, it is majestic and unstoppable.

I have to say that Ji Boying knows how to cater to people's preferences, and the gifts he gives are very targeted.

The Vermillion Bird feather is a rare and precious item of natural talent. It is very rare in the world. Even a strong man at the level of Martial God may not have many of them.

But Ji Boying just took it as a gift, which showed his generosity to the extreme.

However, Lian Hongying frowned slightly, and felt a chill in her heart. It was obviously triggered by a sudden impulse, making her feel an inexplicable sense of crisis from Ji Boying.

Although she didn't understand the reason, Lian Hongying still instinctively chose to refuse: "Your Highness, this item is too valuable. I cannot accept it."

"Well, this is my fault for being abrupt."

Ji Boying smiled gracefully and did not get angry. Instead, he continued to chat with Lian Hongying enthusiastically and elegantly, appearing active and proactive.

Only Sikong Zhen, who had been with Ji Boying for many years, secretly sighed in his heart: "This woman dared to reject your highness's kindness, she is already seeking death."

Then Sikong Zhen became a little worried: "Could this woman have seen that I put the 'heart poison' in the Suzaku feathers? But this is impossible? The heart poison is colorless and tasteless, invisible and formless. Even a martial god, as long as he has not cultivated the martial arts soul, it is difficult to sense it. She has just entered the realm of the gods, how can she detect it?"

Sikong Zhen couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He was a famous poison master in Yu Country, known as the 'poison doctor', a master who was proficient in both medicine and poison.

Strictly speaking, heart poison is not a poison, but more like a spiritual suggestion.

Once the poison is applied to the heart, the mind of the victim will be affected by the caster, and with the subtle influence, he or she will eventually become a puppet.

It was obvious that Ji Boying had no good intention in giving such an expensive gift.

One of his direct purposes is to turn Lian Hongying into his chess piece, so that he can use Lian Hongying's identity to eventually achieve the goal of annexing the Rakshasa Female Kingdom.

Because they were wearing the Heart-Locking Stone, neither Lian Hongying nor Lian Huozhi could detect the malicious intentions of Ji Boying and Sikong Zhen.

In other words, Lian Hongying was blessed by destiny, otherwise, by accepting Ji Boying's gift, she would have really found trouble with him.

"Please come this way, my lord. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome you."

"Thank you, Lord Lian."

Ji Boying remained calm at this moment, still with a gentle and elegant look, but his eyes would fall on Lian Hongying's pretty face from time to time, pretending to be deeply in love.

But he had no idea that Lian Hongying didn't buy his tricks at all. Instead, because of the favor of destiny, she was extremely repulsed and even disgusted with him in her heart.

Just when Lian Hongying didn't know how to continue the awkward conversation with Ji Boying, her expression suddenly changed, and the divine thought she left on Ye Qingzhou was wiped out!

Lian Hongying suddenly looked towards the west of the city, and her sight immediately fell on Prince Yao's Mansion: "Damn it!"

There was a flash of red light, and Lian Hongying disappeared without even saying hello, leaving Ji Boying standing there in embarrassment.

He was so angry that he could hardly maintain his composure, and he was furious: "How dare you be so rude, you lowly maid!"

Lianhuozhi was about to speak to smooth things over, but her expression immediately changed because she felt the violent fluctuations of vital energy coming from the west of the city.

…………

Prince Yao's Mansion.

"Sister Wang, a forced melon is not sweet."

"I haven't even eaten it yet, how do I know if it's sweet?"

Lian Qixia pressed closer and closer towards Ye Qingzhou, licking her red lips, her eyes full of aggression, as if she was about to eat him alive.

Ye Qingzhou didn't want to become the plaything of this "domineering female president" in front of him.

Are you kidding? He wants to be the man who reaches the pinnacle of martial arts. How can it be like to be someone else's little puppy?

At the critical moment when Ye Qingzhou was worrying about how to escape, a fiery red figure fell from the sky, and a white jade-like hand pulled him behind him.

At the same time, the other hand turned the palm into a knife and slashed out suddenly.

Zheng~
The sword energy released by Lian Hongying condensed into a thin line, directly cutting through the space and falling heavily towards Lian Qixia.

"Humph~"

Lian Qixia showed disdain on her face, and also turned her palm into a sword, slashing out a sword force condensed to the extreme.

Boom~
Under the fierce collision of the two sword energies, the space shook violently, and then the entire Prince Yao's Mansion was razed to the ground by the erupting power.

"Sister Wang, you've crossed the line."

Lian Hongying stood in front of Ye Qingzhou, her beautiful eyes full of anger, and her eyes flashed with fierce fighting spirit as she looked at Lian Qixia: "He is mine."

"Isn't the princess too overbearing? The princess is not your private property. As the princess's sister, can't I be close to him?"

After saying this, Lian Qixia cast a provocative look at Lian Hongying, then looked at Ye Qingzhou with a smile: "My good brother, will you choose me or her?"

"Don't be like this, I'm just a child. In fact, we are all family. Even if we can't love each other, there is no need to love and hate each other, right?"

Ye Qingzhou complained casually, fearing that the two Valkyries in front of him would start fighting in the next second, and then cause the entire capital to collapse and break apart.

Fortunately, Lian Huozhi appeared in time and suppressed the dispute: "What are you doing?"

"Mother."

Lian Qixia came forward and complained like a bad person: "I just had nothing to do, so I invited my brother to my home as a guest, but I didn't expect the sister to be so overbearing. For such a small matter, she actually demolished my mansion. Please mother, please help Qixia."

"You guys, you guys never give me peace of mind!"

Lianhuozhi was finally helpless and could only order people to rebuild Prince Yao's Palace.

As for the punishment of Lian Hongying, it was also raised high and then put down gently.

The next day, the news spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys, becoming the topic of conversation for everyone in the capital.

"Prince Yao and Queen Chan, did the two sisters really fight over a man?"

"The Yao Palace has been razed to the ground. What do you think?"

"Is this man so handsome that he could shock heaven and earth and make ghosts weep?"

The gossip spirits of many people were completely ignited, and they became more and more excited as they talked.

In fact, in the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom, women are respected, and it is not uncommon for nobles to fight over men.

However, it still made everyone feel incredible that two kings who had reached the realm of martial gods would fight for a man.

"Blue beauty is really a disaster."

"It is said that this person is the younger brother of the two princes?"

"He's just a stepbrother, not a blood relative."

"Is he the king's newly adopted son?"

"No, it is said that he is the son of the king's wife and another woman."

"Oh my god! Are they planning to dominate the harem of our Rakshasa Women's Kingdom?"

The relationship between Ye Qingzhou and Ye Xiangyang soon became known to everyone, causing the people and nobles in the royal capital to talk about it with great relish.

It was already unusual that Ye Xiangyang was chosen as the king's husband by the king Lian Huozhi against all odds. Now the two princesses are fighting for Ye Qingzhou. All of this is very topical.

In the State Guesthouse, after hearing this, Ji Boying's fists hardened, and he directly crushed the wine cup filled with nectar into a ball of copper mud: "How dare you ruin my plan? You have already chosen your own death!"

"Uncle Jin."

"The old slave is here."

"I want his life."

"Yes, I will make sure he dies without a burial place."

…………

Prince Chan's Mansion.

"Good fellow, you think I'm Su Daji, right?"

Ye Qingzhou was speechless, and then he was secretly alert in his heart: "This matter spread so quickly, there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames..."

As for who did it, it’s actually not difficult to guess.

"According to the vision I saw earlier, the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom was originally destined to fall into the hands of E Wang Lian Lingxiao. It seems that this matter is closely related to her."

There are only five martial gods in the Rakshasa Female Kingdom now. If nothing unexpected happens, Lian Huozhi, Lian Qixia and Lian Hongying, mother and daughter, will die one after another. The remaining two martial gods, Dao Yuzhi is a military official of honor and honor from a military family, and only Lian Lingxiao, a noble civil servant, best fits the description of the "confidant" in the vision.

"This is an old bitch. It's too dangerous to let her hide behind and do things all the time."

Ye Qingzhou has already started thinking about how to solve this problem.

After all, helping Lian Hongying now is equivalent to helping himself.

Just as Ye Qingzhou was thinking about countermeasures, Huang Liwen ran over in a hurry: "Old Ye, something bad is happening!"

"Why, are you going to die?"

"I'm fine! You're the one who's in trouble!"

Huang Liwen's eyes widened, and then he said, "The prince of Yuguo Yi has formally proposed to His Royal Highness Prince Chan."
