From the moment you step into this place in the center of Kyushu, Shui Nisheng feels a completely different atmosphere.
Prosperous streets, lively crowds, luxurious buildings, and strong self-confidence without any fear caused by the war.
Even if it really counts, the current Daxuan Dynasty only has its home base of Zhongxuan Prefecture, but the people who have lived in this prefecture for a long time seem to have never thought that other forces can invade any of its cities and towns.
And along the way, Shui Niesheng did feel the power of the Daxuan Dynasty. For example, the garrison of a small city had reached the level of a second-rate army, and the giant city in the center of a domain was even more powerful than a first-rate army.
It's a pity that Cao Zhengchun, who was traveling with him, didn't know what was wrong with his brain. He rushed to the madman, leaving him no time to carefully observe the distribution of the top experts in a town.
At this time, three days had passed since Shui Nisheng arrived in the imperial city. Cao Zhengchun was still busy with his own affairs. Wugen Mo was recommended by him to perform a glorious job in the cleaning room because of his excellent skills.
As for Su Ying, due to delays in some trivial matters, the meeting was scheduled for today.
During this period, Shui Nisheng was also in this imperial city, strolling around without any scruples. Although he knew that there were many eyes staring at him secretly, he didn't take it to heart very much.
Today's Qin Fan is no longer the king of Zhennan in name only. The civil servants of the Zongheng and Mohist families in the court belong to him. Within the six gates, Nie Yunhua, one of the four great arresters, has clearly pledged his allegiance to the king of Zhennan.
.
In addition, in the name of Earth Su, the care of the eldest princess's lineage, and the alliance relationship, the care of the princes' lineage headed by Li Shizhou.
If he, Shui Nisheng, had any trouble in the imperial city, it would cause serious political disputes.
Especially now, after the outside world has spread that Yu Wuwang's death was the result of the powerful alliance between King Zhennan and Emperor Xuan, even some officials who are extremely disgusted with the ghost market do not dare to cause trouble at this time.
This also allowed Shui Nisheng to visit all the places except for some confidential places that he could not go to.
At the same time, he also realized that there were real hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial city.
On the surface, the strongest personal combat power of the Daxuan Dynasty was the masters in the Daxuan Enshrinement Hall. However, after Shui Nie's detailed induction, he discovered that some of the mental strength of those civil servants who knew how to argue was higher than his own.
.
And he was also one of the few people who watched Bailihong, the top martial arts master, take action at the top of Lingjue Mountain.
Afterwards, the ghost market also launched an extremely detailed investigation into this system.
First of all, in terms of the Wen Qi realm, before reaching the level of warriors and celestial phenomena, the comprehensive combat power of those Wen Qi is not strong, the body is weak, and the mental power is quite high. They can use Wen Qi to perform movement methods, but the range of movement will not be too large.
wide.
Secondly, it is able to strengthen the army with its own culture, but at this point, there is no real record showing the strength of its increase.
But once the writer realized that he could carve runes in the void and draw the power of all things in the world, his combat power would soar to another level.
For example, on Bailihong at the top of Lingjue Mountain, if you write "open", a space passage will appear, and if you draw "雷", a thunder and lightning will strike down.
The principle is that when you read and read about the reactions of heaven and man, you can resonate with heaven and earth and borrow the power of heaven and earth.
In this regard, water nirvana is unclear and powerful.
After all, it is not a cultivation system, so it is difficult to understand the casualness of what the other party said, "I feel like there is fire in the world, so I just write the word "fire" and burn you to death."
In short, when it comes to the number of people who have reached the Celestial Realm's combat power, today's ghost market is still not as good as the Daxuan Dynasty, but there is no need to worry about those accomplished writers who will take action. Some of them are ideologically opposed to violence, and some of them are against violence.
This is because you are proud of yourself.
Unless the Xuanhuang Realm is overthrown, there will be basically no writers who will take the initiative to show their power.
"Although the person you are waiting for is not me, I still want to come." The sudden voice in his ears made Shui Niesheng stunned. At this moment, he was sitting on the window seat on the second floor of a restaurant, his eyes still on
Watching the people coming and going on the street.
It is even more difficult for a stranger to walk up to him and say a few words to him. Anyone who shows such an intention will be secretly observed by people from various factions who will conduct a friendly exhortation.
.
But after he raised his head and looked at the face of the man sitting opposite him, all doubts were dispelled.
Because the other party is Li Shizhou.
"Are you looking for me because of yesterday's visit?" Shui Niesheng knew very well that the other party had a voice transmission token and would directly contact Qin Fan for official matters. Now he is looking for him because of personal matters.
Li Shizhou nodded.
He didn't speak, just watched the water nirvana quietly.
Shui Nisheng turned his head away and continued to observe the crowds on the street. In fact, his thoughts had returned to yesterday.
He was confused.
After Bi Po Qiong died, he suddenly fell into an inexplicable panic. Originally, this feeling did not arise immediately, but after exchanging a few words with Black Thirteen, who had returned to the ghost market, he felt that the current situation was
I can no longer find my direction.
Every celestial realm master in Wangyou Ghost City has his or her own goals.
The original Black Thirteen was determined to change the current situation of the killer world, but now the killers of Yuanye Mansion have been integrated into the ghost market system. Assassination missions are still a part of their daily routine, but they are no longer the only way to survive.
.
The former division of bronze, silver, gold and jade medals was more like a medal of glory.
As for the so-called rat in the gutter, no one dares to bring it up now.
He succeeded, but he was not as confused as Shui Nisheng, because he still pursued the supreme swordsmanship for his whole life.
His communication with Sui Nisheng was because on the Buddha Sword Island, he found that the path of swordsmanship he was on still had many shortcomings, and he was excited and eager to find someone to share this happiness of continuing to make progress.
After all, in the ghost market, he and Shui Nirvana were the only ones with some level of kendo.
But this put Shui Nisheng into a thinking dilemma.
Because after the revenge goal was completed, he did not find the next direction. When it comes to swordsmanship, he is actually not as good as Black Thirteen Chicheng. He joined Tianjianmen at the beginning just to live. To say that he really loves it, it is better to say that he can continue to live.
The urgency is forcing him to move forward.
Later, the crazy person wants to become stronger, which is a kind of psychological catharsis after gradually knowing the truth.
Finally, when he saw the tragic situation before Bi Poqiong's death, he let go and was relieved, but now he has entered another dead end.
So he later contacted Yuan Shisanqian, who smiled and talked about pursuing the end of martial arts, but he knew that he also had an important goal of silently guarding the Quxi Yuan family in his own way.
Then there was Liu Yao, who first heard a lot of complaints from the other party that he had knelt down again this time, and then his cheap son-in-law witnessed his miserable state, and then started to talk about Liu Lisha's recent conversion to Guigu Taoism.
There is a lot of nonsense, but these seemingly irrelevant words clearly indicate his current life pursuits.
After getting the answer, Shui Niesheng hung up the line decisively and contacted Mo Kaixin.
"Do you know how much research I have now! Talk to me about your ideals! Talk about pursuits! Talk about goals! By the way, when you go to the Imperial City, see if the so-called second-best craftsman in the world has come up with anything new.
I also heard that he wants to improve the airship and do some kind of machine transformation! Childish! This is a blasphemy against the machine art!"
After nagging a lot, Shui Niesheng knew that he had found the wrong person. Mo Kaixin's goal was too clear, and his confusion seemed to him like a pointless moaning.
Then there was Huang Tiangui. To say that the other party was really mature, it was wrong, but rather that he was mature and prudent. He quickly discovered the problem of water nirvana and suggested that he talk to his old friends.
Old friend?
An old friend of Hua Wusheng?
Except for Lin Chaoying, who is neither a human nor a ghost, the only ones left alive today are her junior sister who once had a secret affection for her, Li Shizhou's biological mother, Bi Po Qiong's biological daughter, Huanhua Luojian·
Bi Ruan Bamboo.
In fact, he has been avoiding this person's existence because he doesn't know how to face it.
After all, he once suspected that Bi Ruanzhu was doing something secretly, but in fact the other person's experience was much more miserable than his. He knew that his biological mother was forced by her biological father to secretly give birth to a half-brother with the great elder.
She was forcibly arranged for a marriage again. As soon as she developed a relationship with the other party, her husband was killed by Bi Po Qiong.
As a widow with no support from her mother-in-law, and always being wary of her own father stabbing her at any time, one can imagine what she has gone through over the years.
Fortunately she gave birth to a monster son.
Now that Li Shizhou has protected him from the wind and rain, and now that he knows that Bi Po Qiong is dead, the suffering of the first half of his life can be considered completely over.
Shui Niesheng didn't know what state he was in when he entered the Marquis Mansion, and he also forgot what mood he was in when he left.
To him, the whole process was like a dream, a dream that should have been torn apart long ago.
When I saw Bi Ruanzhu again, the other person's eyebrows were no longer as gentle and loving as before. They communicated calmly, talked calmly, and exchanged their feelings about Bi Poqiong's death calmly.
This kind of dull relationship made Shui Niesheng realize that the other person was just as confused as him.
It's just that the two people's directions were different, so Shui Nisheng left a pamphlet before leaving.
"The Teachings of Ashoka".
He felt that the other party needed the support of faith at this time. For him, that meeting was also the time to completely bring Hua Wusheng's past to a successful end.
"I don't want you to see her again."
Just when Shui Niesheng's memories were interrupted by Li Shizhou's words, he nodded.
He did not find his new direction in Bi Ruanzhu, but he also let it fill the regret that was hidden in his heart at the end.
Seeing Shui Niesheng's cooperation, Li Shizhou could no longer say the warning he had prepared.
But it would not be appropriate to just say a few words and leave. After all, Li Shizhou's lineage of Liehou and the lineage of King Zhennan are allies. Such a short period of contact, coupled with the fact that they don't seem to be harmonious.
The atmosphere may be interpreted by those in the dark as some unfavorable signals for him.
"Recently, the position of the head of the worship hall has been mentioned many times in the court. Do you have any ideas?"
When it comes to business matters, Shui Nisheng no longer looks careless.
"Isn't it true that the leader of the enshrining hall can only be held by members of the Yu family?"
"The eldest princess is not suitable. Her ambitions were exposed too early, and Emperor Xuan would not let Emperor Xuan hold such an important military agency concurrently. Those civil servants were also worried that the imperial power would be too heavy, causing them to completely lose their right to speak.
Just like this time, even though he had the merit of killing Yu Wuyi, the reward given to Brother Qin by Emperor Xuan despite all opinions was still too much.
After all, the Daxuan Dynasty does not really control the three states now, but the territory of Zhennan King has surpassed it in one fell swoop. If you calculate it this way, which side is the emperor and which side is the king."
"Isn't the northwest state capital almost completely captured by the imperial troops? The Yunyue Shi clan even took the lead in surrendering to the imperial court again.
Also, if the Lord had not helped the imperial court to share the pressure from the south, including the east and west, it would not have been so easy to spare enough troops to capture this state."
Shui Niesheng did not discuss some overly sensitive issues with Li Shizhou, but brought the topic to the Daxuan United Army that had recently won successively in the northwest state capital.
Among them, Li Shizhou's Shaohou Army performed quite well. The young marshal Kou Zhong who led this army has begun to become famous. If the news of Yu Yiyi's death had not had such an impact, he might have been among the top ten famous people with his current fame.
A line of handsome candidates.
"The Yunyue Shi Clan and the others are scared." Li Shizhou didn't want to talk more about this issue. Recently, the court was also spreading rumors that the collapse of the third chain of humane merit was related to the demise of the Xie family in Zi Nong.
This is to force other aristocratic families to return to the embrace of Daxuan. Although Daxuan owes the eight aristocratic families some things, it has also guaranteed their prosperity and wealth for more than a thousand years. It is hard to explain some of the gains and losses.
.
As for the fact that the Daxuan Dynasty was about to regain the northwest state capital, Li Shizhou was not too concerned about it.
This battle was fought so smoothly not only because his Shaohou Army made a good start at the beginning, but also because of the death of Yu Wuli, which caused the troops stationed in the northwest prefecture to shrink. The Buddhist soldiers who originally wanted to attack in a flanking attack
The local demonic tide had to avoid the Daxuan Dynasty, which had begun to attack its troops.
But these have little to do with him. The previous trip with Qin Fan and the three people who had basically confirmed that Ye Di was Yu Cangmiao (you said there are also Feng Mo and Xiao Feng, these two people should not be Qin Fan's pendants)
, the other one is a pendant of pendants).
He realized that the power he had at the moment was not enough to break away from the imperial court and go it alone. His goal now was to train Xiao Qiushui as soon as possible, and also to find Lei Chun's biological father, Guan Qi, and his biological relatives.
Dad Yan Kuangtu.
Only by gathering these three masters of the Wen system, and with the increasing strength of myself, can we be sure to control our own destiny.
"By the way, please tell Brother Qin that I have asked Yang Guo to escort Chun'er to the Dao Domain. After a while, I will bring the secret book I owed before and the most critical seventh picture to the ghost market."
Li Shizhou calculated that the time was almost up, nodded to Shui Niesheng, and prepared to leave.
After getting up, he happened to see a man dressed in white appearing at the top of the stairs, which made him sit back down after raising his buttocks.
