It was at this time that the rebels began to use the management scandals exposed by the State of Dasi during the epidemic, as well as the economic depression after the epidemic, to incite the people, and dissatisfaction with the court was everywhere.

Because of the epidemic, many monks lost their jobs and a large number of sects closed down. Now the streets are full of rioting monks protesting. The order in the Great Si Kingdom is in chaos for a while, and Yu Wenzhi is facing the crisis of being attacked by the crowd as soon as he comes to power.

"No, we have to fight."

Although frictions between the border and the demon tribe have never ceased, it has never reached the point of a large-scale war.

But now, he decided to go into all-out war with the demon clan.

War can divert the dissatisfaction of the people and the sects, and shift all the spearheads to the demons. At the same time, it can also promote the development of industries such as refining equipment and alchemy, and simply and crudely boost the economy of Dasi State.

After a major disaster, a war is always needed to resolve conflicts, although this is a last resort...but this is also the only route that Yu Wenzhi can choose at the moment.

In the next few days, he will carefully create hatred towards the demon race in preparation for the war.

"It's a good opportunity to make some fuss about this Shenzhou Cup. Qingyi, it's fine if you don't come, but if you dare to come..."

The angry human monks will make you understand what it means to be worse off than dead!

132. Guilty conscience

The game is the day after tomorrow.

However, as soon as she set foot on the territory of Dasi Kingdom, Jiang Keer could already see overwhelming news about the Shenzhou Cup.

In addition, Jiang Keer was quite surprised that the most popular topic was actually related to herself.

[Breaking news! The epidemic was developed and spread by the demon Qingyi! ]

[According to inside information revealed by relevant people, this epidemic was actually developed and released privately by Qingyi, who is proficient in poison techniques, with the purpose of disrupting order, destroying the unity of our people, and damaging our territorial sovereignty and civilization achievements for thousands of years.]

Jiang Keer was so angry that she laughed.

What’s even more interesting is that not only do some people believe this statement, but the majority of the human race also firmly believes it.

After all, when the source of the virus outbreak is difficult to prove with evidence, the argument that "Qingyi poisoned" not only fits the current situation, but also fits their expectations of the demon clan.

How could it be possible that the demon tribe developed an antidote and saved his life?!

Why is it that the demon race, whose poison and medical skills are relatively backward, was the one who developed the antidote?

Moreover, haven't you heard? The demons took advantage of the opportunity when everyone was fighting the epidemic, not only shamelessly seized a series of cities that originally belonged to the human race, such as Jingcheng and Jiangducheng, but also wantonly sold fake drugs and medical supplies for rescue, making a fortune!

As the saying goes, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. People always tend to believe what they want to believe.

Especially with Yu Wenzhi's order, the truth had already become a joke when rumors were being spread all over the country... A lie repeated a hundred times becomes the truth, not to mention that this lie is what the people expect and can bring comfort to their hearts.

"A beast is a beast! For its own selfish interests, it actually created such a terrible disaster that destroyed all the lives of the Chinese people!"

"That's right! But then again, if that's the case, why did she publish the antidote recipe? If it's circulated privately among the demon race, wouldn't our human race be wiped out?"

"Of course, we humans still have some value to keep them!"

"Value?" Suddenly, a woman sneered, strode over, and sat down at the table where the two human monks were talking. "May I ask you, what is the value of the human race?"

The two human monks were stunned for a moment.

Jiang Ke'er didn't expect to meet someone who would stand up for her here. She was touched for a moment, but also a little worried - it was obvious that the atmosphere here was not right, and the woman might be in danger.

"Can you make pills? Or refine weapons? Or squeeze juice? Or cook?" the woman continued to ask, "Or do you have a sense of smell that surpasses the dog demon, a vision that surpasses the eagle demon, and a strength that surpasses the tiger, cow, bear, elephant, and dragon? Hmm?"

"We have brains!" the human cultivator argued with a red face, "Those barbarians are not good at cultivation at all, and they don't have any creativity at all!"

"Then why was it the demon race who developed the antidote or pathogen of the plague instead of you who are so creative?"

"..."The two monks were now completely speechless.

In a rage, one of the monks flipped the table and roared, "Who are you? Why are you trying so hard to protect the demon race? Why are you trying so hard to destroy the prestige of the human race? I think you are a spy sent by the demon race!"

"Don't be such a chicken-headed fool," the woman sat there leisurely without moving, "Come, sit down, let's continue to reason. Tell me, if Qingyi wanted to poison, why didn't she take this opportunity to wipe out the entire human race? Excuse me, I don't see the value of the human race."

"So what you mean is that Qingyi didn't poison him?" The monk looked at the woman as if she was a fool. "Even His Majesty Yuwen has admitted it, and the whole world knows it clearly. Even now, there are still idiots who don't believe it and insist on being different from others. How do you want to show that you have brains?"

"I don't have a brain. Since you all have brains, why don't you answer my question? Could it be that anyone here saw Qingyi poisoning someone?"

"..."

of course not.

"You trample on the merits of the lifesaver of the whole clan and try to bring shame upon yourself!" The woman laughed bitterly. "If I were Qingyi, I would immediately develop a virus to poison all of you idiots to death! Bah! She risked her life to save you, I feel sorry for her!"

"Who are you?" The human cultivator's anger had reached the point where he could no longer suppress it.

Since they couldn't refute it, they gave up thinking about it. Anyway, they believed that even if they couldn't figure it out now, they would find a reason in the future... In short, the poison must have been cast by that bastard Qingyi! It must have been done by the demon clan!

No matter how many times you think about it, the conclusion will never change.

"I am her friend."

"So you are a spy from the demon race?" The human cultivator was overjoyed and drew his sword. "Since you defended that criminal like this, I know you are not a good person!"

"A spy? No, I won't change my name or surname. I'm here to cause trouble!" The woman laughed disdainfully. "I, Gan Ruanruan, have been invited to participate in the Shenzhou Cup finals. What do you want? Beat me up?"

Gan Ruanruan? The Shenzhou Cup contestant?

The human cultivator's face turned pale, and he immediately took a step back and stopped fighting - this guy couldn't be touched, and it wasn't just a matter of being unable to beat him. All the contestants after the Shenzhou Cup rematch were protected by the organizers of the tournament, and if they were injured outside of the competition, the organizers of the Shenzhou Cup would severely punish the perpetrators!

Of course, given the situation this year, the organizers might not necessarily punish him, but he didn't dare to take the risk.

Since fighting was not an option, he could only continue to talk nonsense. His mind suddenly changed, and he seemed to have discovered something. He sneered and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Since Qingyi didn't do anything bad, why didn't she come to participate in the competition in person? This place is still far away from the imperial capital. You are sitting here alone. Does that mean that you are the only one who dared to come to the appointment this time?"

Gan Ruanruan was stumped by the question for a moment. She gritted her teeth and said nothing.

"Hahaha, I guessed it right, didn't I? If Qingyi wasn't guilty, why didn't she dare to participate in the competition openly to prove her innocence! She just feels guilty!" The human cultivator said loudly with pride.

"Correct!"

"That's right! She is guilty of her crime! She dares not see anyone!"

The commotion here has attracted a lot of human cultivators to watch. When the people around heard this, they suddenly felt that it made sense. The doubts that had been in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and they all cheered loudly.

"Ugh……"

Jiang Ke'er sighed softly and walked to Gan Ruanruan's side.

Gan Ruanruan only then noticed her and was a little confused for a moment.

Jiang Ke'er looked around and said, "Everyone, you won't die if you plant fewer flags."

"Who are you?" The human cultivator looked at Jiang Ke'er unhappily.

Jiang Ke'er took off her hood and mask, and looked at him with a look of idiocy: "You will feel uncomfortable if you don't show your face to me, right? I am the medical practitioner you mentioned who was too guilty to dare to participate in the competition! Are you feeling better now?"

(2/4)

133. Accident

That familiar face choked back all the human cultivators' sophistry.

Qingyi, that black-hearted medical practitioner... How dare she come?!

"You've poisoned so many people to death, and you still have the nerve to come here?" someone asked angrily.

Jiang Keer rolled her eyes, no longer holding out any hope for the intelligence of these guys, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to kill more people."

"?!"

"I promised to kill all the other contestants in the semi-finals. This promise has not been fulfilled yet, so of course I will come." Jiang Ke'er stepped on the stool with one foot, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her expression gradually revealed a hint of arrogance that made the human cultivators feel familiar. "I always keep my promises...but I hope you don't force me to swear to kill all the human race. I really don't like killing people, and I don't like playing with poison."

Jiang Ke'er pulled Gan Ruanruan and walked out of the crowd arrogantly.

This can't help but remind people of the scenes before the start of the Shenzhou Cup rematch. Her performance as a medical practitioner during the epidemic was so brilliant that people forgot how vicious and tough this guy was.

No one dared to touch her.

If she was the one who poisoned... then she really has the ability to poison and kill the entire human race.

If not... No, it must be!

"It's up to you all to think about it," Jiang Ke'er turned around and showed a slightly sinister smile, "But I'm determined to kill your two favorite teams, Team Shenling and Team Zhanhuang!"

After saying that, Jiang Keer and Gan Ruanruan disappeared from their sight.

When they got to a place where no one was around, Jiang Keer suddenly burst out laughing: "Pretend to be awesome and then run away, how exciting."

Gan Ruanruan covered her face: "By the way, why are you here?"

"I should be the one asking you this. Didn't Aunt Lian go to find you?" Jiang Ke'er asked back.

"Yes," Gan Ruanruan smiled helplessly, "She told us to stay in Jiangdu and practice hard, to become strong people who can protect the area in the future, to protect the demon race, and not to impulsively come to participate in the Shenzhou Cup to die."

"Then why are you here?"

"I just feel that," Gan Ruanruan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "We all protect the demon tribe, so who will protect Aunt Lian..."

"..."

"The demon tribe has you guys, so I have to come here. At least I can't let the bagpipe team end up with a reputation as deserters... After all, this should be our last time to participate in the Shenzhou Cup." Gan Ruanruan smiled, "Even if we die there, this is the integrity of the bagpipe team, isn't it."

Jiang Ke'er didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Then let's go together." She said with a wry smile.

"Hey~" Gan Ruanruan happily took Jiang Ke'er's arm.

They continued walking towards the imperial capital.

Before I had taken a few steps, I heard a familiar angry roar.

"If you keep swearing, I'll beat you to death!"

Jiang Ke'er didn't want to cause any trouble, but the voice was too familiar, so they had to sneak over and find another pub not far away.

The red-faced man, reeking of alcohol, was thrown out of the pub by two waiters like trash.

The man got up and suddenly spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the tavern's signboard. He rushed into the tavern while cursing: "A bunch of ungrateful things! I don't care about my life anymore. I must beat you bastards to death today!"

Half a minute later, the man was thrown onto the street of the tavern again.

He wanted to rush in again to argue with the monks inside, but Jiang Ke'er quickly stopped him.

"Eh?" The man rubbed his swollen eyes and looked at Jiang Ke'er in a daze, "Am I hallucinating from drinking? Where did Qingyi fall from? Qingyi... Damn it, I get angry when I think of Qingyi! No, I have to go in and beat the shit out of those bastards! Bastards... You should all give her life back!"

"Forget it, Brother Shui, forget it," Jiang Ke'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she picked up Jie Shui and pulled the drunk guy away from the pub.

Gan Ruanruan looked at Jie Shui with lingering fear, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do I usually look so embarrassed when I'm thrown out?"

"Even worse than him." Jiang Ke'er said mercilessly.

Gan Ruanruan suddenly felt a little regretful.

The two women carried Jie Shui to a small alley. Jiang Ke'er fed Jie Shui some hangover medicine, and then she and Gan Ruanruan looked at this guy helplessly.

"Eh? Eh hey hey?"

Jie Shui sat up suddenly, staring at Jiang Ke'er and Gan Ruanruan, then looked around, clearly confused about the situation: "Where is this? Was I thrown back to Jiangdu?"

"It's a long story." Jiang Ke'er thought she was the only one who escaped, but she bumped into Gan Ruanruan and Jie Shui. She felt a pain in her balls and asked, "Why didn't you listen to Aunt Lian?"

"There is no word for cowardice in the Jie family's dictionary!" Jie Shui answered confidently, "Get out of the way! I'm going to participate in the Shenzhou Cup!"

The two girls didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay."

Jie Shui didn't expect Jiang Ke'er and Gan Ruanruan to let him go so easily. He thought Jiang Ke'er and Gan Ruanruan were here to stop him.

So he took out a compass to determine the direction and started running towards the imperial capital.

He ran not far when he found Jiang Ke'er and Gan Ruanruan following him slowly.

"Why are you following me?" Jie Shui asked in confusion.

"On the way." Jiang Ke'er and Gan Ruanruan looked at him calmly.

"Wait... aren't you here to stop me?"

"of course not."

"Then you guys should also..."

Jiang Ke'er nodded. She could already imagine Si Lian's furious look. She smiled and said, "It seems that none of us three are good and obedient children."

“…Four.”
