So ashamed of myself.
After Yang Zhao's explanation, Zhu Yuyan acted like a spoiled child again and finally got Yang Zhao's forgiveness. She quickly sent someone to inform Shi Zhixuan, who was hiding next to Shi Qingxuan, about the matter.
Shi Zhixuan is indeed a man of extraordinary talent.
Even if Zhu Yuyan had the detailed information given by Yang Zhao, she was able to bring Shi Qingxuan to Daxing City after a fight with Shi Zhixuan.
But if Shi Zhixuan hid, even Zhu Yuyan, who had made great progress in cultivation, would not be able to detect his whereabouts at all.
However, with Shi Qingxuan in hand, he was not afraid that Shi Zhixuan would escape.
It only takes a short while.
After the Yinkui Sect's people informed Shi Qingxuan of the news, a tall and gloomy figure suddenly appeared in the backyard of Fengming Pavilion.
Chapter 363: The one who causes chaos in the world should be initiated by His Highness
Shi Zhixuan is a true genius. As the illegitimate son of the Hedong Pei family, he has never received too many resources from the Pei family. He has been a disciple of the magic sect Huajian School since he was a child.
In terms of martial arts, Shi Zhixuan is hailed as the number one prodigy in the Demon Sect in the past hundred years, and has the potential to unify the Demon Sect.
In terms of civil administration, Shi Zhixuan changed his name to Pei Ju. After joining Yang Jian, he rose from obscurity to prominence and was once promoted to the position of Shangshu Zuocheng.
In the military field, when Shi Zhixuan used the pseudonym Pei Ju, he participated in the war to destroy Chen, quell the rebellion in Lingnan, and split the Turks. He was awarded a title for his military achievements and was named Duke of Wenxi County.
In a sense, this is a hexagonal warrior.
Moreover, in every aspect, they can achieve excellent results and achieve extremely high achievements.
But even such a gifted man could not withstand the heavy blow of love, and was bound by Cihang Jingzhai with a beauty trap. After the death of his wife Bi Xiuxin, he suffered from a split personality and almost became a madman.
For example, Shi Zhixuan who appeared in front of Yang Zhao and others.
Even though Shi Zhixuan was dressed neatly and looked very imposing, he could not hide the gloomy aura rising from his body, which hovered behind him like a demonic shadow.
When Yang Zhao saw Shi Zhixuan coming, he let go of Zhu Yuyan and said, "Evil King, since you are here, why don't you come in and have a seat and a cup of tea?"
Shi Zhixuan looked gloomy and said, "I dare not drink the tea of the Grandson of the Great Sui Dynasty."
Yang Zhao has plans for Shi Zhixuan, but Shi Zhixuan is also one of the smartest people in the world.
Yang Zhao asked Shi Zhixuan to come into the house as a form of recruitment.
If you drink Yang Zhao's tea, it means you have the intention to get on the bus.
Shi Zhixuan directly gave up the title of "Grandson of the Sui Dynasty", which meant that he was not optimistic about Yang Zhao's ability to achieve anything, nor did he want to accept Yang Zhao's recruitment or get involved in Yang Zhao's affairs.
Yang Zhao smiled, and then suddenly said: "Evil King, you need to make good use of the face I give you. You don't want your daughter to get into trouble, right?"
If the kingly way of recruiting doesn't work, then the only way is to use the tyrannical way to conquer them.
After hearing Yang Zhao's words, Shi Zhixuan's originally gloomy aura suddenly became vigorous, demonic energy rose from his body, and his whole aura continued to rise. In just a blink of an eye, he had surpassed the half-step Martial Saint level and completely stepped into the realm of Martial Saint.
Shi Qingxuan is Shi Zhixuan's Achilles' heel.
Yang Zhao threatened Shi Zhixuan with Shi Qingxuan, causing Shi Zhixuan's evil thoughts to surge, and he almost became completely possessed. The terrifying murderous intent, like a shadow in the dark night, enveloped the entire backyard of Fengming Pavilion.
"Evil King, it's not good to have too many evil thoughts. It will easily bring disaster."
As Shi Zhixuan was almost completely possessed by the devil, Yang Zhao stood up abruptly. As soon as he finished speaking, infinite light spread in the house, and in just an instant, all the shadows and evil thoughts of Shi Zhixuan were dispelled.
When Yang Zhao walked out of the room, he was like the sun patrolling the sky, eliminating all the dark shadows and murderous intent wherever he passed.
Under this situation, Yang Zhao walked straight up to Shi Zhixuan.
Shi Zhixuan's whole body stiffened, and the murderous intent in his heart subsided, as if he had met his natural enemy. He did not dare to show his claws in front of Yang Zhao.
The evil thoughts were suppressed by Yang Zhao.
The gloomy air on Shi Zhixuan also dissipated temporarily, and a kind of clear, proud and elegant air, mixed with a little majesty, was revealed on him.
At this moment, Shi Zhixuan seemed like a different person, looking at Yang Zhao with wise eyes.
After a pause, Shi Zhixuan said, "Your Highness has a high level of cultivation, your heart is full of infinite light, and your body is like the sun patrolling the sky. I would like to thank Your Highness for exorcising my inner demon. If Your Highness has any instructions, I will do my best. I hope Your Highness can let my daughter go."
See the changes in Shi Zhixuan.
Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Well, it's better to do it this way. From what the Evil King said, he still doesn't think highly of me, right?"
Shi Zhixuan was silent for a while, then his face became serious and he said, "In the past few years, when I was not crazy, I also heard about what Your Highness did in the Song Dynasty. Although I don't know what specific plans Your Highness has for returning to the Sui Dynasty, Your Highness must have great ambitions."
"Unfortunately, the situation of the Great Sui Dynasty is more complicated than that of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, the current emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty is Yang Guang, who is ambitious but incompetent and fond of ostentation. A million-strong army may not be able to win the Liao Dynasty. After that, the Great Sui Dynasty lost its dignity and the people were in turmoil..."
Having said that, Shi Zhixuan looked up at Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, "You can speak whatever is in the Evil King's mind. It is not a crime."
Shi Zhixuan's eyes flickered, and he continued, "If the imperial court fails in its expedition against Liao, the authority that originally belonged to the royal family will certainly be stripped away again by the aristocratic families. At that time, all the contradictions inside and outside the imperial court will be exposed, and it will be impossible to ease them."
"The aristocratic families will definitely not allow a court that breaks the rules and targets the aristocratic families to continue to rule the world. The martial arts sects will also strongly resist the suppression of the evil sects by the Sui Dynasty's lackeys. The people will also be in turmoil under the instigation of ambitious people. Even the foreign tribes on the grassland will wait for an opportunity to move south."
"In this case, the Great Sui Dynasty is in a state of despair and there is no way to turn things around. Even if the former Emperor Wen were to be reborn, he would probably only be able to preserve half of the country at best. From now on, the world will be torn apart and chaos will return."
Yang Zhao had the memories of two lives, so he was able to see some future events of the Sui Dynasty.
But right now, Shi Zhixuan, in his half-crazy and half-insane spare time, was able to predict the future situation of the Sui Dynasty with an almost accurate estimate.
Such talent and strategy made Yang Zhao much more pleased than his martial arts prowess.
Yang Zhao admired him more and more, and asked again: "If I am not afraid of the corruption of the world and join the human race in the fight for the dragon, what do you think, the evil king?"
Shi Zhixuan paused for a moment and said, "If Your Highness wants to enter, the sooner the better. If you wait until the world is in chaos before entering, Your Highness's appearance will only make the Sui Dynasty's aristocratic families form an alliance faster and eliminate the threat brought by Your Highness first, and then the next Emperor Wen will be born."
After hearing Shi Zhixuan's words, Yang Zhao's expression finally changed.
It has to be said that what Shi Zhixuan said was something that Yang Zhao had not taken into consideration.
Yang Zhao is a brave and powerful man, and he has an outstanding military record in the Song Dynasty. Once he enters the battlefield, he will inevitably bring enormous pressure to the aristocratic families of the Sui Dynasty, causing those people to end the chaos ahead of time, and then select a leader from the aristocratic family to jointly target Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao finally became more serious and asked, "Is there any way to break the impasse?"
Shi Zhixuan remained silent.
Yang Zhao's eyes flickered with coldness, but after a long while, he suppressed his anger and said, "Evil King, help me. I promise to resolve the conflict between you and your daughter, reunite you and your daughter, and release your inner demons."
Shi Zhixuan raised his head instantly, his eyes full of brilliance, and then he said word by word: "If Your Highness has perseverance and courage, those who are in chaos in the world should be led by Your Highness."
Chapter 364 Shi Zhixuan Weeps and Cries
Shi Zhixuan's words were like a bolt of lightning, as if a thunderclap had sounded throughout the entire courtyard.
Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Zhixuan fiercely.
Shi Zhixuan was not moved at all, with a brilliant look in his eyes, and said: "The aristocratic families of the Great Sui Dynasty are afraid of you, because behind you is the Great Song Dynasty, which has begun to take off, with hundreds of millions of people and strong national strength. If you stand on Yang Guang's side, you can cause heavy damage to the aristocratic families of the Great Sui Dynasty."
"If the one who caused the chaos in the world was initiated by Your Highness, then Your Highness would have an irreconcilable conflict with Yang Guang, which would greatly reduce the vigilance of those aristocratic families."
"If Your Highness shows some benefits and sincerity, makes friends with a group of aristocratic families, wins over a group of aristocratic families, and suppresses a group of aristocratic families, then the great cause can be accomplished."
What Shi Zhixuan said is not without reason.
As for Yang Guang, a member of the old Yang family, in fact, the aristocratic families today no longer have much to fear. At most, they are intimidated by the majesty of the Sui Dynasty and still place him above the throne.
But if the two Yangs join forces.
Once Yang Zhao and Yang Guang reached some kind of agreement and Yang Guang accepted it, and brought in the power of the Song Dynasty behind Yang Zhao, it would have a devastating impact on the entire aristocratic families of the Sui Dynasty.
This is something that those aristocratic families cannot accept.
For those aristocratic families, family inheritance comes first, and everything else is both important and unimportant.
When one's own family inheritance is in crisis.
These aristocratic families will naturally gather together to form a community of interests and work together to deal with those who can cause harm to their own inheritance.
Shi Zhixuan was indeed a man of genius and he quickly proposed a solution to Yang Zhao's impasse.
Even though Yang Zhao did not like this method of breaking the impasse, he had to admit that if there was no help from the system, this was definitely Yang Zhao's best choice now.
But it’s a pity that if there were military formations and military soul techniques to help.
Those so-called aristocratic families will be like scrap metal and will all be crushed by Yang Zhao after he becomes powerful.
Yang Zhao collected his thoughts and glanced at Shi Zhixuan who was sitting in the hall. His desire to conquer the other party grew stronger and stronger.
Then, Yang Zhao smiled and winked at Zhu Yuyan next to him.
Zhu Yuyan nodded slightly and arranged for a Yinkui sect disciple beside her to quietly leave holding a jade talisman for transmitting sound.
at the same time.
Yang Zhao looked at Shi Zhixuan again and said, "The Evil King has amazing talents and is truly a great man who is good at planning for the country. Since he has a plan to break the impasse, I will keep my promise and help the Evil King and Miss Shi Qingxuan to get along with each other. After resolving the misunderstanding between the Evil King and Miss Shi, I will then solve the Evil King's own problems. How do you think?"
Shi Zhixuan looked at Yang Zhao with a slightly hopeful look, and said, "May I ask Your Highness, how exactly should we do it..."
Yang Zhao waved his hand to interrupt Shi Zhixuan's words and said, "Evil King, I don't need you to do anything. Just wait quietly. But before I act, I also need to understand the specific reasons why the evil king's wife died that year."
When Shi Zhixuan heard Yang Zhao mention Bi Xiuxin, his eyes began to become gloomy again.
Bi Xiuxin is the biggest demon in Shi Zhixuan's heart.
Seeing this, Yang Zhaoxin sent out several streams of pure purple energy to suppress the evil spirit in Shi Zhixuan's body, and then said, "As far as I know, more than 20 years ago, with the help of several predecessors from the Demon Sect, the Evil King integrated the Huajian School and the Butian Pavilion's mental skills to create many martial arts such as the Tianyi Mental Skill, the Phantom Demon Body Skill, and the Immortal Seal Skill. He was chosen as the next leader of the Demon Sect, is that right?"
Shi Zhixuan's eyes suddenly became blurry, and he said hoarsely: "Shi, I have failed the teachings and expectations of my predecessors. This is the regret of my life."
Yang Zhao laughed and said, "Evil King, don't feel guilty. Back then, the Evil King was famous in the world of Sui Dynasty. The situation of Cihang Jingzhai was despicable. They intended to use the beauty trap to break the Evil King's mind and bring him into Buddhism. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. Does Bixiu feel beautiful?"
Yang Zhao's outspoken words made Shi Zhixuan suddenly stunned.
Then, Shi Zhixuan spoke up and said, "Xiu Xin is extremely beautiful. She was the most outstanding successor of Cihang Jingzhai at that time. Even Yang Guang, Song Que and others were obsessed with her. But only I am deeply in love with Xiu Xin. For love, we are willing to give up everything."
The beauty trap kills people without shedding blood and is the most effective way to corrupt heroic ambitions.
Yang Zhao secretly sighed at the power of Cihang Jingzhai. With just Bi Xiuxin, they were able to restrain Shi Zhixuan while also alienating the relationship between the Sui Dynasty, the Demon Sect, and the Lingnan Song Clan.
Yang Zhao was alert and said, "For love? Evil King, are you sure that Bi Xiuxin really loves you? I heard that Bi Xiuxin fed the demon with her body and never really loved you. Even after she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, she just wanted to get your unique skills and crack it..."
"Shut up, that's not the case at all."
Shi Zhixuan's reverse scale was touched, and he suddenly looked crazy, with evil thoughts rising in his body, but he was unable to break through the pure yang purple energy suppression set up by Yang Zhao.
Wait for it to roar like crazy for a long time.
Shi Zhixuan just sat down on a stone bench in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and said, "The truth is not as the rumors spread in the martial arts world. Xiuxin and I love each other. How could she harm me, and how could I harm him?"
"Back then, Xiu Xin and I retired from the martial arts world because I wanted to improve my martial arts and merge the magic and Buddha's methods into one. As a result, my mental state was not very good, so I had to go to the Big Buddha Temple to study Buddhist scriptures in order to balance and purify my spiritual thoughts."
"It's just that I don't know. When Xiuxin had just given birth to Qingxuan, she saw that I was in a bad condition, so she found the Immortal Seal at home, wanting to help me deal with the mental illness in my body. The Immortal Seal retained too much of my martial arts ideas, which led to Xiuxin..."
As he spoke, even a genius like Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but choke up and burst into tears.
Yang Zhao also sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the Evil King and the Lady were also a pair of infatuated lovers. So, Bi Xiuxin's death was not as rumored in the martial arts world, that Cihang Jingzhai instructed Bi Xiuxin to steal the Immortal Seal but failed, and she died in your hands, right?"
Shi Zhixuan wailed for a long while before he said, "Those people in Cihang Jingzhai are all bastards, but what they said is not wrong. If I hadn't sought shortcuts in martial arts, if I hadn't left the Immortal Seal at home, Xiuxin wouldn't have died. It was me who killed Xiuxin!"
Shi Zhixuan is still drowning in guilt and unable to extricate himself.
Yang Zhao turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuyan beside him.
Zhu Yuyan nodded and raised her hand. In her hand, a sound transmission jade talisman flashed continuously.
Chapter 365: Shi Zhixuan and Shi Qingxuan's Father and Daughter Reunion
People like Shi Zhixuan are very complicated. They have amazing wisdom and qualifications, but they are like fools and get stuck in a dead end on certain things.
Perhaps this is the most elusive aspect of love.
Bi Xiuxin’s death can only be described as an accident.
But the love buried deep in his heart made Shi Zhixuan take all the blame for Bi Xiuxin's death on himself, which even led to Shi Qingxuan's misunderstanding, and a deep gap between father and daughter.
In Shi Zhixuan's view, this torture is a punishment for himself.
Just when Shi Zhixuan's emotions were becoming increasingly unstable, a girl who looked like a forest elf rushed into the courtyard where everyone was, very excited.
Next to the elf-like girl was the Yinkui sect disciple arranged by Zhu Yuyan.
From the very beginning, Yang Zhao set a trap for Shi Zhixuan.
If Yang Zhao really had to resolve the estrangement and misunderstanding between Shi Zhixuan and Shi Qingxuan, it would not be easy and it was unknown how much effort it would take.
So Yang Zhao instructed Zhu Yuyan to arrange someone to hold a jade talisman and deliberately go to a place not far from Shi Qingxuan. Then he tricked Shi Zhixuan into recording the truth and emotional outburst at the beginning and passed it to Shi Qingxuan's ears.
