Chapter 228: Make the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom Great Again

"The princess is marrying out?"

Ye Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and shook his head, and said to Huang Liwen: "The princesses, or princesses, of Luosha Women's Country rarely marry outside. As for Lian Hongying, it is even more impossible for her to marry into the Yu Country."

"you sure?"

Huang Liwen was skeptical about this.

"I am sure."

Ye Qingzhou had a determined expression on his face, and his words were not groundless.

Because he had previously spied on the changes in the fortunes of the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom, Ye Qingzhou had confirmed that Lian Hongying was indeed favored by the "will of heaven" of the Rakshasa clan.

This favor from heaven is both a gift and a shackle at the same time.

Because Yu Kingdom is a superior country, and its strength is far greater than that of Rakshasa Female Kingdom, once Lian Hongying marries out, her own fate will be swallowed up by the Yu Kingdom faction to which King Yi belongs.

This means that the national destiny of the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom has been cut off by someone, and all the previous investment in luck has gone down the drain. How could the collective subconscious of the Rakshasa people, or "God's will", agree to this?

You have to know that all the gifts from fate come with a price tag.

No one can have it all.

Today, Lian Hongying is deeply bound to the destiny of the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom, so she can turn misfortune into fortune and turn disaster into blessing.

Ye Qingzhou even speculated that when he risked his life to rescue Lian Hongying during the turmoil in Huajian City, he was probably influenced and interfered by fate.

Even if he didn't take action, Lian Hongying would probably be able to get through the difficulties safely in the end.

This is the benefit of having good luck. Everything you do will go well.

But this kind of luck is essentially borrowed from heaven, and it is mandatory to repay. You have to pay back as much as you use, and you may even have to pay interest.

Lian Hongying has now reached the realm of Martial God, and her luck is on the rise. If she chooses to marry someone else, then all the luck and destiny she borrowed before will have to be repaid with interest.

If you can't pay it back, that's going to be fun.

Maybe from now on you will get food stuck in your teeth even when you drink water, your luck will be bad, you will step on dog poop when you go out, you will be targeted for no reason, and even if you are at home, disasters will come from the sky.

…………

Lian Hongying returned to the palace and learned that Ye Qingzhou was looking for her, so she called him to the study.

Ye Qingzhou teased, "I heard that Prince Yi wants to marry you?"

"Ah."

Lian Hongying nodded, then pinched her brows and said, "But I refused."

"Knew it."

Ye Qingzhou once again confirmed his guess that heaven's will and human nature complement each other and also influence each other. The feeling between them is very subtle.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

Lian Hongying looked surprised.

"You will not leave the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom. Your soul has formed a deep bond with this land and its people."

Hearing Ye Qingzhou's words, Lian Hongying showed a surprised expression again, and at the same time, a smile appeared on her face: "I didn't expect that the person who knows me best is you."

It is rare to have a true friend in life, and Lian Hongying was filled with joy.

Even her mother didn't understand what she was thinking, but the 'brother' in front of her revealed her ambitions and pursuits in one sentence.

"I was just guessing."

Ye Qingzhou responded casually, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart: "It seems that the influence of God's will on people is to subtly change their concepts and thinking. In this way, is the so-called free will of people really free?"

Zheng~
The heart sword seemed to sense the changes in Ye Qingzhou's thoughts, and then it hummed and vibrated. Then an invisible sword light, emitted from the heart, slashed at Ye Qingzhou's soul.

Click~
In Ye Qingzhou's spiritual world, an invisible and intangible shackle suddenly shattered.

At the same time, Ye Qingzhou's mind became clear inside and out, and once again turned into a flawless piece of glass, making his will and thoughts become clear.

"so close!"

At this moment Ye Qingzhou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that he himself was unknowingly influenced by the will of the Rakshasa clan and would subconsciously make a choice that was beneficial to the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom.

“When did this change begin?”

Ye Qingzhou pondered for a moment and soon came up with the answer: "It should be that after the King Lian Huozhi officially conferred the title of prince on me, my soul became connected with the will of the Rakshasa clan."

"Fortunately, I have the secret technique of the Heart Sword. By cutting myself with the Heart Sword, I can restore my heart to a state as clear as glass. If not, it would be difficult to extricate myself once I got deeper and deeper into the trap."

As an outsider, Ye Qingzhou had no intention of sacrificing his life for the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom.

Originally, he wanted to tell Lian Hongying about the changes in the fortune of the Rakshasa Kingdom that he had witnessed, but he was also influenced by fate. Now that he had regained his clarity of mind, he naturally changed his mind in an instant.

After Lian Hongying sat down, she asked the maid in the palace to make tea, and then asked Ye Qingzhou: "I heard that you came to see me?"

"Ah."

Ye Qingzhou's shackles were now gone, and his mind was no longer affected by the will of the Rakshasa Clan, so he said, "The annual Divine Sword Festival will be held in three days, and I want to sign up to participate."

"You have the inheritance of Emperor Yan, and you still care about the reward from the Divine Sword Festival?"

Lian Hongying smiled and teased Ye Qingzhou. She did not suspect anything, but teased him, "Young man, it's not a bad thing to be competitive. I'll help you sign up. Anyway, Huajian City already has a recommendation quota."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Still calling me Your Highness?"

"Sister Wang."

"Hey, be good."

Lian Hongying then smiled with satisfaction. The corners of her lips slightly curled up, revealing a charming smile.

After returning to his room, Ye Qingzhou immediately thought about what benefits he could get from this matter. Without the interference of the Rakshasa clan's will, he could now finally weigh the gains and losses more calmly.

"Lianhuozhi's death is of no benefit to me, but blocking the knife for her or reminding her of the coming disaster will also not bring me any benefit. Only in muddy water can you fish."

Ye Qingzhou quickly came up with an idea. Lianhuozhi could be saved, but it would not be too late to save her until she was in trouble.

The target that Ye Qingzhou wanted to plot against was naturally the mastermind behind the scenes, King E: "Don't blame me for being cruel. If you were to take over, you wouldn't necessarily let go of the remnants of the old king. Moreover, if we want to forge divine weapons, the soul of the God of War is a must. If you die, the thousands of families in the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom will be blessed."

Late at night, the silver moon hangs high in the sky.

Ye Qingzhou used the technique of ghost possession to control the Juejian Unit 2, left Prince Chan's Mansion, and secretly found the temporary residence of Prince Yao Lian Qixia.

"Your Highness Prince Yao, I have something important to discuss with you."

Just a moment later, Ye Qingzhou was grabbed by a white jade hand and taken to a luxurious bedroom.

All I saw was a snow-white jade bed, half-covered with gauze and a pearl curtain.

Behind the curtain, a graceful figure is looming. In the hazy light, the undulating outlines and curves make people feel distracted and their imaginations run wild.

"My prince, you came to visit me so late at night. Do you have any bad intentions?"

Lian Qixia saw through Ye Qingzhou's puppet body at a glance, and her phoenix eyes stared directly at Ye Qingzhou's ghost: "What a delicate puppet! I never thought that my brother is so versatile and even proficient in the art of armor-suppression."

"I'm sorry for making His Royal Highness Prince Yao laugh at my little trick."

Ye Qingzhou lifted the beaded curtain and sat down beside the jade bed without any hesitation: "I do have bad intentions, but this intention will not only not harm Your Highness, but will also bring great benefits."

"Oh? Tell me, what kind of benefit is greater than the sky?"

Lian Qixia leaned forward lazily, holding her delicate head with her jade hands, and looked at Ye Qingzhou with a disdainful expression, as if she was looking at a little puppy who was trying hard to please his owner.

"Your Highness, do you want to be the king? I can help you achieve your wish."

"Haha, my brother is really good at joking. Do I need your help?"

Lian Qixia showed a playful smile in the corner of her eyes, raised her jade feet, and stretched them directly into Ye Qingzhou's arms: "If you want to please me, you have to change your way."

Ye Qingzhou did not shy away from it. He held her feet and gently kneaded them, massaging the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet. After Lian Qixia squinted her eyes in comfort, he said, "Do you think being the ruler in five years is the same as being the ruler in five days?"

"Ok?"

Lian Qixia's face changed, her eyes narrowed, and her sharp gaze immediately fell on Ye Qingzhou, which made him feel more pressured: "What do you mean by that?"

"During the Divine Sword Festival, someone will harm the king."

"That's it?"

Lian Qixia looked quite disdainful, obviously not taking it seriously.

You know, the Rakshasi Women's Kingdom was founded on war and respected martial arts. What kind of storms has it not experienced?
The assassination of the king has happened too many times.

But for thousands of years, there has not been a single successful example.

After all, the ruler of each generation was the strongest person in the Luosha Women's Kingdom, and he also held the magical Luanfeng double swords, which were enough to rival the powerful kings who had ascended to the eleventh floor of the heaven. How could a mere assassin who could not see the light of day succeed in the assassination?

Ye Qingzhou believed in the changes in fortune that he had seen, so he said to Lian Qixia: "This time is different. If there are no changes, the king may not be able to escape."

"Humph~"

Lian Qixia opened her phoenix eyes, and endless murderous intent suddenly surged in, enveloping Ye Qingzhou.

"shut up!"

When Lian Qixia heard that her mother's fire weaving would get into trouble, she became very angry.

Although she wanted to be the king, and was also dissatisfied with her mother's favoritism towards her younger sister Lian Hongying, she never thought of wanting Lian Huozhi to die.

In fact, compared to Lian Hongying, who cares about the people, she is the child who has never grown up.

From childhood to adulthood, what Lian Qixia longed for most was Lian Huozhi's love and recognition.

She has always wanted to be the proudest daughter in her mother's eyes.

Her hostility towards Lian Hongying initially stemmed from her instinct to win favor.

So she would never allow anything to happen to Lianhuozhi.

When the God of War gets angry, millions of people die!

Ye Qingzhou only felt that he was like a small boat, in the midst of raging waves, as if he could capsize in the waves at any time.

"Your Highness Prince Yao, don't be impulsive. I am not your enemy."

Lian Qixia finally calmed down, but her face was still full of anger. She looked at Ye Qingzhou with sharp eyes: "Tell me what happened. What do you know?"

Ye Qingzhou did not continue to provoke Lian Qixia, but began to sow discord: "Queen E secretly planned to murder the king, and then instigated you and Queen Chan to fight each other, so that she can reap the benefits and ascend the throne."

"Do you have evidence?"

"No."

Ye Qingzhou spread his hands. Where did he get the evidence?

Everything, so far, was just his guess based on the changes in the fortunes of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"..."

Lian Qixia was speechless for a while, then glared at Ye Qingzhou and scolded him angrily: "Ewang has always been known for her virtue, and she is also my mother's biological sister. Why should I believe what you say?"

Ye Qingzhou smiled when he heard this: "When Your Highness asked this question, he actually believed it in his heart."

"..."

Seeing Lian Qixia remained silent, Ye Qingzhou confirmed his judgment: "Whether Queen E really wants to rebel is not important at all. What is important is that Queen E has the ability to rebel, so she should die. Am I right?"

The mindset of emperors has always been like this.

Throughout history, how many ministers and generals have been suspected and eventually exterminated?
Do every one of them really want to rebel?
Of course not.

But when you have the ability to rebel, whether you have the idea of ​​rebelling or not, the outcome is actually determined.

Kings will never gamble on human nature. They will only instinctively nip all threats in the bud and eradicate them completely. Only in this way can they rest easy.

Lian Qixia did not refute Ye Qingzhou's words, and at the same time she suppressed her anger and murderous intent. Her phoenix eyes were as cold as a knife at this moment: "What do you want?"

"I want to make a deal with your highness."

"trade?"

"good."

Ye Qingzhou then stated his demands: "There are two contents in the transaction. First, I want King E's life. Second, I hope that after Your Highness ascends the throne, he will fully support King Chan's reforms."

"This is impossible!"

When Lian Qixia heard the word "reform", she refused without thinking.

But Ye Qingzhou had already figured out Lian Qixia's thoughts, so he directly brought up Lian Huozhi: "Your Highness, don't you want to make Luosha Women's Kingdom great again? With such an achievement, I'm sure the king will be very pleased, right?"

"Um……"

Lian Qixia frowned and thought, but did not refuse directly.

Ye Qingzhou continued, "The so-called reform is essentially a redistribution of interests. Your Highness can take this opportunity to win over the public opinion and strengthen the royal power. After Queen E's death, there are only four powerful warriors left in the Luosha Women's Kingdom. Although the god general Dao Yuzhi comes from a military family, he is doomed to be alone in a three-on-one situation."

Lian Qixia was actually moved, but she still had concerns: "My mother won't agree."

"Not agreeing doesn't mean I will stand up and oppose. Even if it's two against one, Your Highness and the Chan Queen sisters are united and will still win. What is there to worry about?"

Ye Qingzhou's "patient persuasion" or instigation soon made Lian Qixia unable to extricate herself.

Who doesn’t want to strengthen the power in his hands and become a king whose words are law?

The reform ideas proposed by Ye Qingzhou are also in line with Lian Qixia's personal interests. After all, it is the nobles, not the royal family, who are getting a share of the cake.

If she could win over the common people to share the interests of the nobles, then the Rakshasa Women's Kingdom under her control might be able to usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity.

By then, wouldn't I be able to prove to my mother that she is a better king than my sister Lian Hongying?
However, the premise of all this is that there must be no mistakes in the safety of Lianhuozhi.

Seeing this, Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you ever heard of the Holy Phoenix Nirvana Pill?"

"A top-grade elixir that can bring people back to life?"

Lian Qixia's beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked at Ye Qingzhou with burning eyes: "You actually have such a miraculous elixir in your hand?"

"No."

"You're looking for fun with me, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although I don't have it, I know how to make it."

"you?"

"I have the Shennong Herbal Classic in my hand."

"really!?"

Lian Qixia showed joy on her face, and the last worry in her heart disappeared.

Ye Qingzhou then listed the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, the most important of which was the heart blood of the divine bird Phoenix, and only Lian Qixia had a portion of it.

This is also the reason why Ye Qingzhou came to her for cooperation.

Three days later, the Divine Sword Festival.

After three sleepless days and nights, Ye Qingzhou finally used the Shennong Ding to refine the Holy Phoenix Nirvana Pill. At the same time, he also used the exotic flowers and fruits provided by Lian Qixia to greatly improve the level of his alchemy skills.

Today, his alchemy skills have been upgraded from the great success level to the perfect level. Ye Qingzhou has molecular-level control over the materials and medicinal properties of medicinal materials.

Looking at Ye Qingzhou's messy hair, Lian Hongying took the comb from the maid and helped him comb his hair: "You're going to compete soon, why did you get yourself into this state?"

Although her tone was accusatory, Lian Hongying cared about him as if he were her own brother: "Change your clothes before leaving."

"Ah."

Ye Qingzhou naturally followed suit.

When they arrived at the Divine Sword Festival venue, it was already packed with people. The thirty-two contestants from twenty-six cities, except Ye Qingzhou, were all ready.

Ye Qingzhou's appearance immediately pushed the atmosphere to its peak, and countless people in the royal capital cheered for him enthusiastically.

Including Ye Qingzhou, there were a total of six craftsmen from the royal capital attending this year's Divine Sword Festival, and Ye Qingzhou was the only member of the royal family among the six.

Although he was a prince, the nobles did not recognize him at all.

But why would the people of the royal capital care so much?
In their eyes, a prince coming to participate in the craftsman's competition was enough for them to be honored.

Lian Hongying was also cheering Ye Qingzhou on: "Brother Wang, perform well."

"Well, I will."

Ye Qingzhou walked through the aisle and before he stepped into the competition venue, Lian Qixia appeared beside him: "Where's the stuff?"

"it's here."

He took out a porcelain bottle from the Xiayu Treasure Ring and handed it to Lian Qixia: "As long as the king takes this medicine in time, he can be brought back to life."

“Holy Phoenix Nirvana Pill!”

Lian Qixia took the pill excitedly. After confirming that it was genuine, she looked at Ye Qingzhou with a different look: "It seems that you really have inherited the legacy of Emperor Yan. No wonder my good sister treats you like a treasure. Rumor has it that Emperor Yan wrote a book called "Heavenly Casting Sutra", which contains the technique of casting together between heaven and man, which can be used to cast divine weapons."

"Your Highness, don't be too greedy."

Ye Qingzhou was not worried that Lian Qixia would tell others. Instead, he wanted to use her power to clear all obstacles.
