Four-Armed Divine Emperor

Chapter 169: Taiko Light and the Old Heaven

"Good boy, good boy, mother's good boy..."

At this time, Al was confused and lying in the arms of the beautiful lady. She held him in her arms, with her head pressed against her chest, rocking him like coaxing a child.

Not long ago, he was dragged away in public by the beautiful lady who was respected as "His Lady Hikari" by everyone in the Izumi family. He felt confused and at a loss as to why, but because she was very beautiful and was El's type, he subconsciously obeyed.

I didn't expect that the beautiful queen is beautiful, but her mind seems to be a little abnormal. Originally, Al thought that he had accidentally fallen into the magic lair of the beautiful witch. Now it's miserable. A beautiful boy like him might be toyed with by the beautiful witch in this way and that way, and finally be torn apart and turned into medicine residue, etc.

Unexpectedly, the development of the plot was somewhat beyond his expectations.

She is very beautiful, and with the addition of a unique maternal temperament, she can almost compete with Helen in her prime. She is also an oriental beauty, a rare type in El's harem. The beautiful lady holds him and treats him like a baby.

If Al was still an innocent little girl, he would be in his early twenties now, which is the time when he is young and energetic and most likely to have an erection. Being held in the arms of such a mature and beautiful queen, let alone being hugged and cuddled, even getting close to her and smelling her would make his blood boil.

Fortunately, he is already a fan of many people. Although he is moved and aroused by the beautiful lady, he knows how to enjoy the process. In fact, the foreplay represented by this "process" is as important to him as the later part. So he can resist pretending to be good, let the situation develop, and try to communicate normally with the beautiful lady.

"You called me kid? Do you recognize me?"

"My dear child, my good child, mother doesn't want you to leave, doesn't want you to leave..."

"..."

"Sister, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Why, how could it be wrong? What's wrong? Are you still blaming your mother? Wuu, wuuu..."

"..."

Al has come into contact with many people and has seen through many of them, but he has not seen through mental retardation. Since he decided not to use psychic powers to interfere with the "plot direction", he really couldn't guess the woman's situation for a while.

But lying down is really...

She gave me a pear tree, a lap pillow, and called me baby. Could she have any bad intentions towards me?

This moment was something Al had never experienced before, even after trying so many tricks.

In an ancient oriental aristocratic mansion, being held in the arms of a gorgeously dressed beauty—a beauty with a figure and face who looked like she came out of the second dimension—and a matriarchal beauty with a queen-like style, was simply too much of a plea for Al's sexual proclivities.

Just lie down, enjoy it wherever you want...

On the other hand, after sorting out his thoughts, Asuma also plucked up the courage to do something.

Since they met by coincidence, he couldn't just pretend that nothing had happened. The big boss was on a "secret visit" and although he might not want to be disturbed, if he didn't go to pay him a visit, with Al's unscrupulous character, if he used this as an excuse to punish Asma one day, he would have no way to stop him.

You can choose not to drink, but you can't disrespect your leader...

Poor Asma himself was a figure who wanted to be the king. He was first selected at the meeting and forcibly sent here as a decoy. With the mentality of being here since he was already there, he planned to come out for some fun. After only two days of happiness, he ran into a guy who was more terrifying than the strongest and most ferocious ones among the twenty-four seats combined. He was also the quasi-leader Jinyi Yexing, whom Asma was secretly serving now. The two sides got together.

Foreign forces, as described by the Eastern Continent, are the "Gods of the Old Heaven". The Orientals call the ancient war "White-robed Leather Cauldron". In their culture, white clothes represent sorrow, funerals, and burial ceremonies. One of their slogans is "Dress in white mourning for the world for a thousand years and fight against the unjust gods of the old heaven!"

They returned in full, but as the core of the old forces, there were twenty-four old gods, minus a sealed queen, which means there were a total of twenty-three gods. They did not return to El directly because they had concerns. They were afraid of targeted attacks from the White Tower and that their departure would cause the Outer Realm to collapse directly. In that case, they would not be able to make tactical maneuvers and could only fight to the death with the wizard in Neil.

However, it would be unacceptable if no top combat force came forward, and they also had the idea of ​​"fishing", so after a round of meetings, they voted and sent out the two weakest companions and one who was in the middle, a total of three gods, to enter the world of Il first.

Everyone knows that the first one to show up will be easily targeted by the White Tower. Maybe the mages have developed a decapitation tactic. After all, if they can achieve the result of "killing the gods" in the early stages of the war, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on both sides.

The Old Ones knew this, so they deliberately chose one strong and two weak gods to "come down to earth". They prepared a targeted anti-decapitation plan, but as

Chapter 537

Asma is not without benefits in using bait for "fishing", after all, it does involve a huge risk.

For the gods, although they do not need something as insubstantial as the power of faith, intelligent life is undoubtedly the most important resource for them. People use things as commodities, and gods use people as commodities. To build palaces, to enjoy themselves, to bet, to fight, and to win in the "Game of Gods", they need a resource, that is, intelligent life that serves them.

After the battle in the Eastern Continent, but with the gods not yet returning in full force, whoever enters the mortal world first will undoubtedly have the first-mover advantage. When it comes to gaining the faith and worship of mortals, everyone knows which one to choose between a true god who actually exists in front of them and a god who has not yet appeared.

According to the covenant between the gods, how many "resources" were originally allocated to Asma, the "last god" at the end of the list?

In the southwest of the Eastern Continent, there is a big river called Yunjiang, which was once one of the three most important water systems in the Eastern Dynasty. In its middle section, due to the terrain, the river is divided into countless small branches, like the roots of trees. This area is densely covered with water networks and lakes, and is called Yunze. The largest one is called Tianhu, and its province is also named after it.

After the old forces seized control of the shogunate and obtained important information such as household registration data, it was determined that this large piece of land and all the people on it had at least 1.2 million households. This was the core of Asma's future "Kingdom of God" territory. The coastal areas to the east and south of Yunjiang were the territory of another god, and to the north of Yunze was a relatively backward area where some ethnic groups regarded as "barbarians" by the people of the dynasty lived. This area was not small in size, but the level of civilization was very backward. In return for Asma's personal involvement as bait, half of this large piece of "Kingdom of God" originally reserved by the god "north of Yunze" and the southeast coast was divided out to Asma, so that his Kingdom of God could have an outlet to the sea.

As the weakest of the few, Asma knew that he had little say, and even though he was unhappy, he had no choice but to do it. According to the original plan, he was to show up frequently and "show miracles" to attract the attention of the White Tower. His other two companions did the same, because even if they didn't do so, the White Tower would know that they came in. It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity that there are not many companions now and the cake is still here to try to eat more.

Every time they recruit a "believer", they will have one more human mine in the future. Why not do it?

Asma, on the other hand, acted very lazy.

Because his heart isn't in this at all. I have someone behind me now! What's the point of trying so hard to grab that little piece of land? Can we defeat the White Tower? Can we defeat that big devil?

So he simply used the time when his teammates were concentrating on "development" to indulge in pleasure.

Chapter 170: Requesting Instructions from Hara Yoshimitsu

Asuma plucked up his courage and asked Masamune to lead him to the place where El and "Taiko Hikari" who was the purpose of his trip were. When they arrived outside Taiko's "palace", he dismissed everyone and asked them to go away. He then approached carefully, like a bomb disposal expert approaching a time bomb.

"Ta-ta"

I didn't dare to use force and knocked on the door twice gently.

no response.

Asuma gritted his teeth. He could sense that there were people in the room, and it was that man and woman.

He waited for a moment, mustered up the courage, knocked on the door twice, and waited for a while, but still no one responded. Just when Asuma was in a dilemma, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.

"What are you doing~!"

To be honest, even though Asuma was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

He turned around, and before he could even see the man's face, he lowered his head and saluted with his palms raised upwards, as if offering something.

"His Majesty!"

As expected, the boy who had been taken to the "court trial" before appeared behind Asma.

He was still dressed the same as before, in a white shirt and robe, and now he looked a little complaining, mumbling and yawning, as if his sweet dream had been disturbed.

Al was indeed feeling a little sleepy. The big sister's soft and fleshy embrace was really fragrant, especially since she was completely devoted to him. It couldn't even be described as "playing", but rather a genuine mother-son interaction where she treated him like her son. Although this might seem like taking advantage of a mental patient, Al was indeed lying there very comfortably. If Asuma hadn't come, he would probably have closed his eyes and taken a peaceful sleep, then taken care of other things after waking up.

"Ah."

El simply replied and stared at Asuma, who had changed his face. Not to mention, even with that weird look, Asuma in normal human form still looked somewhat human, giving people the impression of a wild and handsome guy, at least more attractive than before.

Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (47)

With that weird look and the dog-licking attitude, Al really wanted to find a reason to beat him up. Asuma's worry was not groundless, Al was really unhappy with him.

"From now on, use this one instead of the previous one."

He "kindly" warned: "Otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the urge to beat you up."

"..."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Asma is flexible and is ready to follow up on any request from El.

What does this matter? Compared to the queen being confessed to and "married" by a big devil she just met, it is just a trivial matter.

"What do you want from me? Ah~" Al made a

Chapter 538

Yawning, tearful eyes.

Asuma was stunned for a moment, and felt that his understanding of El's "unbridled and arbitrary" nature had reached a new level.

No, big brother, you are the leader of the third camp in Season 2, the strongest person with all the power. When the foreign forces officially came to an end, it could be described in the way of history as "marking the outbreak of the Second World War in Il". At this critical juncture when both sides were busy with layout and counter-attack, just to pave the way for the formal decisive battle, you ran alone to the heart of the enemy-controlled territory, and saw the enemy's high-level traitor whom you secretly controlled - Asuma, who was ready to cooperate with El to make a big move, and then run away and join the new master after that.

As a result, El looked very impatient... Asuma thought that he was overthinking it and this "meeting" was just a coincidence?

But that doesn't make sense. Al's sudden appearance in Chang'an Jing obviously means he has some ulterior motive. Otherwise, could it be that he came here just to have fun like him?

I can only say that this boss is really hard to please...

But now that he was there, Asuma couldn't help but continue asking.

"I would like to ask you...what are your instructions for coming to the East?"

Asuma had never been so humble even in front of the queen.

"Oh, about that." Al nodded and said, "A little bit, it's okay, there's no rush. Tell me why you are here first."

Al had restricted his perception throughout the entire process. It could be said that he was using his own power to shield his own power. He might be the only one in the world who could do this now, sitting on the chair he created and lifting himself up.

So when Al saw Asma, his first reaction was to suspect that he had accidentally walked into a plan or trap. Because he had directed and starred in too many scripts in the Forbidden City, Al could not fully believe in the existence of coincidences.

At that instant, El was even ready to launch his backup plan of traveling across the world. This was the main legacy from the Returner, a higher level of power that even he couldn't comprehend or fully grasp now. The enemies within El would definitely not be able to restrict him in this regard, and El was very confident.

But later he calmed down, because everything seemed to be just a coincidence, so he did not go against his original plan, went with the flow, and continued to act according to the "randomly generated" plot.

But now, Al still needs to confirm the whole story from Asuma.

Asuma knew El's abilities, and he couldn't hide anything from him. Letting him speak out himself was perhaps a sign of El's respect for his subordinate, so he honestly told him all about the gods' plans and his own thoughts.

As for why he appeared in the Izumi family, it was strictly speaking a coincidence created by Al himself.

The Chang'an Shogunate had experienced a coup several years ago. The regent at the time was a woman named Hara Yoshimitsu. This was her official name as Taiko. Her real name was Mitsurugi. She was an outstanding woman in all aspects. There was only one pair of siblings among her peers. The sister was very outstanding, but the brother was completely useless and had no interest in power, thinking that it would hinder his enjoyment. In the end, they had no choice but to give the woman a male name and recommended Mitsurugi to be the regent Taiko.

She was the beautiful lady who had just “rescued” Al from the trial and held him in her arms as if he were her son.

It was not a controversial matter for a woman to be the regent, because there had been female taiko in history. Moreover, Hara Yoshimitsu was very capable in all aspects, kind, and had good abilities in all aspects. As a woman, she also possessed a rare talent in martial arts. The Eastern Continent had a tradition of martial arts, although with the long period of peace, it had become a cultural trait exclusive to the powerful class, such as "martial arts", "sword Zen", and so on.

Hara Yoshimitsu, or Taiko Mitsuru, was a great master of this art in his time. Because he promoted benevolent rule, he was praised by the nobles as "the benevolent and brave woman of the time."

For a female Taiko, receiving widespread praise from her subjects was obviously a great affirmation of her.

This should have been a pretty good story, but please note that the praises above all happened in the early years of Taiko Mitsuru's reign.

Chapter 171: The Rebellion in Chang'an

It is normal for a king who starts well to fail later.

The same is true of Taiko Hikaru, but she is not increasingly incompetent, nor is she violent and unjust, greedy for pleasure. It is not as serious, but in a sense, it is worse than that. According to the consensus of the government and the public:

His Highness Taiko Mitsuru unfortunately lost his only son in the second year of Taihe Jian'an. Then, under the heavy blow of the pain of losing his son, His Highness Taiko Mitsuru... went crazy.

For a normal woman, children will at least occupy a large part of her life. But for Taiko Hikaru, she is not a real politician or family leader. The reason why she is in that position is mainly because of the responsibility given by her innate blood. In fact, the so-called "Regent Taiko", "Tenka", and the most powerful person in the shogunate, actually do not have any high standards. Most of the time, she is qualified enough to sit there and be a mascot.

For Taiko, that was her first child, and possibly her only child. She had no husband, and was being trained as a quasi-Taiko. The Yuan family did not want the Taiko bloodline to flow out, and even did not want the power of regent to fall directly into the hands of another branch, so they secretly selected a baby from within the family.

Chapter 539

She was raised by Taiko Mitsuru since she was a child as her heir.

In a sense, this child also carries the expectations of Taiko Mitsuru's future "husband", because the shogunate nobles have a fancy tradition called "child training", which is to choose one or more objects, bring them by their side when they are very young, and train them as their ideal spouse, and then they will be together reasonably when they grow up.

Some have very unique preferences, such as those who like married women, and even "marry" such spouses when they grow up, learn from their experience, and then welcome them back after a few years...

Female Taikos could not marry, and preferably had no male favorites, nor could they become pregnant secretly. According to the ancient practice of the shogunate's nobles, they would select some outstanding children from a young age and raise them personally, acting as both their mother and their sister, and eventually becoming their wife, raising them from boy to man. Such a person was truly their "other half," and their loyalty was absolutely guaranteed...

In the early days of the pain of losing his son, Taiko was in a relatively good condition, although sad - people only knew that Taiko Koden must be very sad about the loss of his only child, but they did not find anything special.

But later, according to the eunuchs around Taiko, the Regent Taiko began to talk to himself in the void, as if communicating with a "ghost". In fact, it was her hallucination. She always seemed to see her child coming back. On the other hand, every time she experienced such an illusion, she had to endure the pain of "losing her child" again. Over time, her mental state can be imagined.

And from here on, Taiko Hikaru began to deliberately use the power she held. She pursued something that seemed out of reach even to the extraordinary people:

Resurrection from the dead.

There was even a situation where the coffin of the dead child was dug out and placed in the court, and he had a conversation with the coffin in front of many ministers. Because of a similar appearance, he actually snatched away the "child son-in-law" of another female head of a large family in the Dahua clan, and the chaos of fighting for a boy was almost like a coup.

Finally, the nobles of the nobility who could no longer tolerate it, including the opposition within the Hara clan, jointly launched a coup, causing the "Chang'an Rebellion", deposing Hara Yoshimitsu's power as regent and replacing her eccentric but useless Hara Yoshinaka who loved pleasure with power.

But one reason was that although Yoshimitsu Hara made a fuss, no one was killed. Another reason was that her past actions were considered open-minded and tolerant, and everyone agreed with her. As for the latter circumstances, they had their reasons and were excusable. Her only son and future husband died more than ten years ago, and it was unlikely that something like this would happen again. She probably invested more emotions in them than her parents... So this "coup" did not contain any bloody or harsh elements.

Although Hara Yoshimitsu did not hold great power, he still retained his honorable status. His unreliable younger brother Hara Yoshinaka was recognized as a waste. Besides being greedy for pleasure, he was also a person who attached great importance to family affection. After being forced to take over his sister's position, he ordered that all the treatment of "Kōden" be retained, and the etiquette remained the same, so the whole court still had to call him "Kōden".

What happened to the abdicated Hara Yoshimitsu?

After asking a "monk (magician)" to help with treatment, the situation has indeed improved a little. At least he will no longer dig up dead people's graves. But the mental illness is still a big problem. If we talk about erasing the memory, on the one hand, Hara Yoshimitsu himself is very strong, and after going crazy, his spirit is very stubborn. And it doesn't seem to be that serious. After all, this change of memory means erasing more than ten years of memory. What's the difference between that and changing a person?

He is just a retired Taiko with some special hobbies. With one or two hundred servants looking after him every day, what could go wrong?

So they could only let it go, but sent more servants to serve and supervise it to prevent it from causing trouble.

"Taiko Mitsuru" originally had her own palace, but she could not sit still and always wanted to go out to "find her son", because sometimes she would think that her son was not dead, but just had not come back to see her for a long time. It could be comforted once or twice, but it would be difficult to suppress it more than once. Taiko Naka felt sorry for her sister, so she simply came up with a clever trick. She allowed Hara Yoshimitsu to move to the mansion of a noble family with his servants every once in a while, as if he was going out for some fresh air, and then let the people below set up a trap to coax her, as if he was fooling a child, and the corresponding family would be prepared and honored to receive him.

People outside will spread rumors, so it is better to let "family members" be responsible for coaxing the child - the madman. Family members naturally refer to internal and external vassal states like the Izumi family.
