Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

As he spoke, he took off into the air. "Alright, I won't delay your romantic time. After I finish these trivial matters, I'll come and have a drink with you!"

Boom~~

The fleet of warships began to move slowly. On a warship, Victoria Song stood on the deck and made a cheering gesture towards Ye Gucheng with her fist.

"Come on, Lao Ye, you are the best!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Xuan grabbed her arm and pulled her into the cabin. Song Qian's dissatisfied grumbling could be faintly heard.

"Don't pull me, I want to watch the show..."

...

Seeing the massive army marching towards the Li clan's headquarters, Ye Gucheng and Shi Feixuan looked at each other, both feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Especially Shi Feixuan, who had already had some strange feelings towards Ye Gucheng. After Song Xuan pointed it out with the words "under the flowers and moon", she felt her cheeks getting hot.

Ye Gucheng, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, and said with a smile: "My friend always likes to joke around, so don't mind it."

Shi Feixuan shook her head slightly. She was a rather aloof person, but at this moment, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Senior, what is the identity of that Senior Song?

Those troops, are they all his?"

Ye Gucheng explained, "You've been practicing in the mountains for many years, so you might not be familiar with many things in the world. I wonder how much you know about the Xuanyiwei, a government agency?"

"Xuanyi Guard?" Shi Feixuan was stunned. "The sky that's pressing down on our Wulin Holy Land?"

Chapter 481 My happiness is naturally to be handsome forever

The sky pressing down on the holy land of martial arts?

Ye Gucheng was quite amused by Shi Feixuan's statement and asked, "Did your elders tell you this?"

Shi Feixuan nodded and said, "I know about the Xuanyi Guards. People in the martial arts world say they are the court's lackeys, but my master once said that the Xuanyi Guards are the sky that weighs down the entire martial arts world and the martial arts holy land.

When faced with it, one can either follow the will of heaven or go against it and break free from all restraints."

Ye Gucheng said playfully: "So now, what do you think?"

Shi Feixuan thought of the terrifying army that had just filled the entire sky. Those terrifying auras gathered together, and they were about to destroy the world.

How can human power resist such a terrifying force?

She considered her words for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I think that God's will cannot be violated. As mortals, we should still follow God's will!"

Ye Gucheng laughed heartily, "In fact, if you said that you were going against the will of heaven and breaking through all constraints, I might look at you with a higher regard."

Shi Feixuan's eyes dimmed, and she said in a low voice, "Feixuan has disappointed you, Senior."

"It's not disappointing, because your choice is right!"

Ye Gucheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, and said calmly, "Going against the will of heaven and slashing through everything is the ideal state for a sword cultivator, but as a human being, the first thing to do is to keep yourself alive.

Those who have no strength but shout about defying the heavens every day are all idiots!

If a fool lives one more moment in this world, it is a disrespect to heaven and earth!"

Shi Feixuan stared at Ye Gucheng in a daze. At this moment, she felt that she could not see through the sword master in front of her.

The other person was a senior master, and he gave her a feeling of being sometimes profound, sometimes free and easy, but more often than not, he was a little funny... His tone of voice was obviously normal, but for some reason, she just felt like laughing.

For a moment, she was a little confused about what kind of personality this senior had.

"Senior, has anyone ever told you that you, like your sword, are both contradictory?"

Ye Gucheng asked, "Do you think that a swordsman like me should be cold-blooded, ruthless, decisive, and serious?"

"Isn't it?"

Shi Feixuan recalled the scenes of her training in the mountains. "My elders in the sect were all very cold and aloof. I rarely saw them smile in the past. I thought all sword cultivators were like that."

Ye Gucheng laughed and said, "Don't listen to them. They are a bunch of old women with long hair and short knowledge. They don't know anything about swordsmanship!"

Shi Feixuan: “…”

My hair is long too.

Fortunately, I am still young and not an old woman.

"When I have time in the future, I will take you to visit my good friend's house. We can drink tea and chat together. The more you interact with him, the deeper your understanding of life and the world will be.

You will find that the road of Kendo is actually a very interesting thing.

Life can be fun and joyful! "

Shi Feixuan nodded in confusion. "Senior, you haven't told me the specific identity of that Senior Song. He must be very powerful in the Xuanyi Guard. I can sense that my master is very afraid of him."

Ye Gucheng nodded and smiled, "If the Xuanyi Guards are the sky above the Wulin Holy Land, then he is the will of heaven!"

"I understand!" Shi Feixuan understood and did not continue the topic.

Song Xuan is handsome, powerful, and his strength is unfathomable, but she doesn't want to pay too much attention to him because she will unconsciously feel scared.

On the contrary, the Senior Ye in front of her, who looked aloof and free and easy, made her feel quite friendly. Standing next to him, she not only did not feel afraid, but felt very safe.

Master said that this was a result of the connection between sword spirits and the encounter of people with the same path.

"Senior, you said that life can be interesting and happy. What makes you happy?"

Ye Gucheng smiled slightly, but said nothing, just looking up at the sky at a mysterious forty-five-degree angle.

My happiness, of course, is to be handsome all my life.

Of course, I can’t tell you this.

Maintaining a certain sense of mystery is also part of being handsome. If I tell you everything, how can I continue to be handsome?

......

On the warship where several masters of Cihang Jingzhai were, as soon as Fan Qinghui returned to the cabin, her several fellow apprentice sisters hurriedly set up a soundproofing ban.

"Senior sister, you're amazing!"

As soon as Fan Qinghui sat down, one of the beautiful nuns exclaimed in admiration.

"Hmm?" Fan Qinghui showed a puzzled look on his face.

I just escaped death and saved my life from Song Xuan, the living devil, and you are already praising me.

Although it is indeed amazing that I am still alive, I don’t think I would set up a soundproofing ban just to curry favor with someone, right?

"Senior Sister, why are you being so mysterious to us?"

Another nun laughed and said, "Qing Yunzi had no idea where to start, so Senior Sister immediately changed her target. Feixuan is the perfect person to feed the demon this time."

She smiled happily and said, "Sword Saint Ye Gucheng, I have known his name for a long time, and it seems that this person may become a Grand Master in a few years.

Feixuan was able to form a relationship with him before he became a grandmaster. This means that my Cihang Jingzhai will have another great helper in the future.

And you have also seen that Ye Gucheng and Song Xuan have a very close relationship. With this relationship, my Cihang Jingzhai will be able to prosper for another three hundred years!"

Fan Qinghui was stunned when she heard this, and looked at them with a gloomy expression, "Do you all think so? Do you all think that Feixuan and Ye Gucheng's relationship was my trick?"

The nun was puzzled. "What else? If it wasn't Senior Sister's trick, how could such a coincidence exist in this world?"

"Shut up!"

Shi Feixuan shouted angrily, pointing at them and scolding them, "You are talking nonsense, you are making trouble!

Who told you that this was my method? If I had that ability, I would have ascended to become an immortal long ago!

What does it mean to feed the devil with your own body? If you don’t know how to speak, then don’t speak!

Feixuan, that is love. Do you understand love?

Those are two hearts destined to meet each other even though they are separated by mountains and seas. This marriage is destined by God and no one can stop it!

You all remember this, if anyone dares to mention feeding the devil with their own body again, don’t blame me for punishing you according to the rules of this sect.

If anyone talks nonsense and ruins Feixuan's marriage, I, Fan Qinghui, will kill him even if I go to hell!"

Seeing that Zhaizhu was really angry, several people looked at each other and dared not say anything. They bowed and said that they remembered it.

Seeing this, Fan Qinghui breathed a sigh of relief with some fear in her heart.

It was so dangerous. I almost got killed by these stupid teammates.

Who is Song Xuan?

Standing in front of him, I felt as if my entire body was being examined clearly from the inside out, and he seemed to have the ability to see into people's hearts.

If this group of stupid teammates keep thinking about Shi Feixuan feeding the devil with her own body, Song Xuan will definitely see through it after a while.

Given the other party's ruthless temper, if he thought that I was plotting against his friends, the entire gate of Cihang Jingzhai would probably be razed to the ground!

Chapter 482 Li Shimin

The Li clan’s headquarters has been completely shrouded in shadow.

A feeling of panic and anxiety spread wildly among everyone in the Li clan’s residence.

The clan leader, Li Yuan, stood bent over in the yard, occasionally looking cautiously into the reception room not far away.

His son Li Shimin and daughter Li Xiuning were received by that adult. The life or death of the Li family depended on how these two children performed.

In the reception room, Song Xuan sat in the main seat, leisurely looking at the brother and sister below who were feeling a little uneasy.

Li Shimin was a heroic young man in his twenties, with a square face and big ears, and bright and lively eyes. Although a little reserved, his face was calm and his mentality was very good.

Li Xiuning looks younger, with a beautiful and refined appearance and lively eyes. She looks at Song Xuan with curiosity from time to time, and the girl's lively and ethereal aura is overwhelming.

"Do you know what I'm here for?" Song Xuan asked casually, blowing on the teacup.

"I know, I know!"

Li Xiuning spoke first, his voice brisk, "My Lord, you are here to destroy my Li family."

Song Xuan said in surprise, "I'm here to destroy your Li family, why do you look a little happy?"

Li Xiuning said, "Although I come from a powerful family, to be honest, there aren't many good people in powerful families. If we kill them all, there will certainly be some who are wronged, but if we kill every last one, there will definitely be some who slip through the net!"

From the perspective of the imperial court, the aristocratic families were naturally beneficial to stabilizing the situation in the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But now, after three hundred years of its establishment, the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer needs these parasites from the aristocratic families.

Keeping them is a waste. If I were a master, I would just kill them all. That would be more peaceful!"

Song Xuan glanced at Li Shimin, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Has your sister always been so reckless?

Li Shimin laughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir. My sister has always been like this, hating evil and being impatient. Although she comes from the Li family, she has not been infected with the bad habits of disciples from aristocratic families."

She loved practicing martial arts and reading military books, and once said that if she had the chance, she would lead an army to fight and kill all the powerful families in the world.

My little sister has a bit of an extreme temper, I hope you can forgive me."

Song Xuan took a look at Li Xiuning, who was dressed in red and full of energy, and felt a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, in this world of comprehensive martial arts, Li Xiuning from Tangzhou is still an angry young man.

"Five years ago, I would have strongly supported your idea. After all, killing isn't the best way to solve a problem, but it's definitely the fastest.

But now that I am in this position, killing is just a means for me, but it cannot be the only means.

As for the issue of aristocratic families, even if they were all killed now, new aristocratic families would still emerge a hundred years later.

Power is fascinating, and when a vacant position is left, there will always be new people and forces to fill it."

Song Xuan drank a sip of tea, his eyes wandering over Li Shimin and his sister, and said with a faint smile: "Ye Gucheng is my good friend, and he thinks highly of you two.

I wonder if you have any good ideas to solve the problem of aristocratic families without killing people on a large scale.

I'm not talking about a temporary solution, but rather a solution that will prevent the emergence of new aristocratic families after this batch of families are dealt with."

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, bowed, and said, "Your Excellency, if we want to solve this problem, we have to address the root cause."

Song Xuan said: "Go on."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "The so-called aristocratic families, in the beginning, were those who followed Taizu and made great contributions. Taizu then rewarded them with large amounts of land in various prefectures.

They took root in this land and raised their descendants. Generation after generation, the family grew and branched out. Some became officials, some did business, and some specialized in martial arts. The family controlled more and more land.

Up to now, three hundred years have passed, not to mention other places, just in Tangzhou, in such a vast territory, almost half of the land is controlled by aristocratic families, and the rest is occupied by major martial arts families and sects.

There are very few actually in the hands of ordinary people. In Tangzhou, most people are tenants who make a living by renting land from landlords.

Fortunately, the vitality of heaven and earth is abundant and the crop yields are extremely high. Although the people are suffering, they can still make a living even after paying most of the grain rent.
