Chapter 228 Make the Rakshasa Girl Country Great Again
"The princess is marrying outside?"
Ye Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head with a smile and said to Huang Liwen: "Princesses, or princesses, of the Rakshasa Girl Country rarely marry outside. As for Lian Hongying, it is even less likely that she will marry the Yu Country. .”
"Are you sure?"
Huang Liwen was doubtful about this.
"I'm sure."
Ye Qingzhou had a determined expression on his face, and his words were not without purpose.
Because he had peeked at the changes in the fate of the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom before, Ye Qingzhou had confirmed that Lian Hongying was indeed favored by the Rakshasa clan's "divine will".
And this heavenly favor is both a gift and a yoke.
Because the Yu Kingdom is a superior kingdom and is far more powerful than the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom, once Lian Hongying marries outside, her own strength will be annexed by the Yu Kingdom faction to which the next king belongs.
This means that the national destiny of the Rakshasa girl country has been cut off, and all the early investments in luck have been wasted. How can the collective subconscious of the Rakshasa clan, or "God's will", agree?
You know, all the gifts of fate have a price tag.
No one can want and want more at the same time.
Today's Lian Hongying is deeply bound to the national destiny of the Rakshasa Girl's country, so it can turn misfortune into good fortune and adversity into good fortune.
Ye Qingzhou even speculated that when he took the risk to save Lian Hongying during the turmoil in Huajian City, he was probably influenced and interfered by luck.
Even if he doesn't take action, Lian Hongying will probably survive the crisis without any danger in the end.
This is the benefit of luck, everything you do will be beneficial.
But this kind of luck is essentially borrowed from God, and it is mandatory to borrow and repay. You have to pay back as much as you use, and even interest is included.
Lian Hongying has now reached the realm of the God of War, and her luck is booming. If she chooses to marry outside, she may have to pay back the money she borrowed from her with interest.
If you can't afford it, then it will be fun.
Maybe in the future, you will get stuck in your teeth when you drink water, your luck will be bad in various ways, you will step on dog poop when you go out, you will be targeted for no reason, and even if you are at home, disaster will come from the sky.
…………
Lian Hongying returned to the palace and learned that Ye Qingzhou was looking for her, so she called him to the study.
Ye Qingzhou teased: "I heard that the next prince wants to marry you?"
"Yeah."
Lian Hongying nodded, then pinched her eyebrows: "But I refused."
"As expected."
Ye Qingzhou once again confirmed the guess in his heart. The will of heaven and the heart of the people achieve each other and also influence each other. The taste is very subtle.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Lian Hongying showed surprise.
"You will not leave the Rakshasa Girl Country. Your heart has become deeply bound to this land and its people."
Hearing Ye Qingzhou's words, Lian Hongying showed surprise again, with a smile on her face: "I didn't expect that the person who knows me best is you."
It is rare to have a close friend in life, and Lian Hongying is filled with joy.
Even her mother didn't understand what she was thinking, but the 'Wang Brother' in front of her clearly revealed her aspirations and pursuits.
"I was just guessing."
Ye Qingzhou responded casually, but couldn't help but think about it in his heart: 'The influence of God's will on people seems to be a subtle change in concepts and thinking. From this point of view, is man’s so-called free will really free? ’
Zheng~
The Heart Sword seemed to sense the changes in Ye Qingzhou's thinking, and then buzzed and vibrated, and then an invisible sword light came from the heart and struck Ye Qingzhou's soul.
Click~
In Ye Qingzhou's inner world, an invisible and intangible shackles shattered.
At the same time, Ye Qingzhou's mind was clear inside and outside, and once again turned into a piece of flawless glass, making his will and thinking clear.
"What a risk!"
At this moment, Ye Qingzhou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that he himself was unknowingly affected by the providence of the Rakshasa clan and would subconsciously make a choice that was beneficial to the Rakshasa girl country.
"When did this change begin?"
Ye Qingzhou thought for a moment and quickly came up with the answer: "It should be that after the leader of the country, Lian Huozhi, officially conferred my identity as a prince, my soul became connected with the providence of the Rakshasa clan."
"Fortunately, I have the secret technique of the Heart Sword. If I kill myself with the Heart Sword, I can restore my heart to a state as clear and transparent as glass. If not, it would be difficult to get out when I get deeper and deeper."
As an outsider, Ye Qingzhou had no intention of sacrificing his life and blood for the Rakshasa Girl Country.
Originally, he wanted to tell Lian Hongying about the changes in the fate of the Rakshasa Girl Country that he had glimpsed, but he was also influenced by God's will. Now that he regained his clarity, he naturally changed his mind instantly.
After Lian Hongying sat down, he asked the maid in the palace to make tea, and then asked Ye Qingzhou: "I heard you came to see me?"
"Yeah."
Now that Ye Qingzhou's shackles are gone, his mind is no longer affected by the providence of the Rakshasa clan, so he said: "The annual Divine Sword Festival will be in three days, and I want to sign up to participate."
"You have the inheritance of Emperor Yan, so you still value the reward from the Divine Sword Festival?"
Lian Hongying smiled and teased Ye Qingzhou, but she didn't raise any suspicion. Instead, she teased him: "Young man, it's not a bad thing to be competitive. I'll just sign up for you. Anyway, there is already a recommendation quota in Huajian City."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"You still call me Your Highness?"
"Sister Wang."
"Hey, be good."
Only then did Lian Hongying smile with satisfaction. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing an intoxicating smile.
After returning to the room, Ye Qingzhou immediately thought about what benefits he could get from this matter. Without the interference of the Rakshasa clan's providence, he could finally weigh the gains and losses more calmly.
‘Lian Huozhi’s death will do me no good, but blocking her knife or reminding her of the coming disaster will also not bring me any benefit. Only in muddy water can we fish. ’
Ye Qingzhou quickly came up with an idea. Lian Huozhi could be saved, but it would not be too late to save her until something happened to her.
The target that Ye Qingzhou wanted to plot was naturally King E who was behind the scenes: "Don't blame me for being cruel. Anyway, if you come to power, you may not let me, the remnant of the old king, go. What's more, if you want to build a magic weapon, the God of War The soul is a necessary thing. If you die alone, thousands of families in the Rakshasa Girl Country will be happy.”
Late at night, the silver moon hangs high.
Ye Qingzhou used the technique of ghost possession to control the Juejian No. 2 machine, left Prince Chan's Mansion, and secretly found the temporary residence of King Yao Lian Qixia.
"His Royal Highness King Yao, I have something important to discuss with you."
After only a moment of voice transmission, Ye Qingzhou was captured by a white jade-like plain hand and led into a luxurious bedroom.
I saw a snow-white jade bed, half covered with gauze and string beads as curtains.
Behind the curtain, a graceful body is looming. In the hazy place, the undulating contours and curves make people's imagination wander.
"Brother Wang came to visit late at night, do you have bad intentions?"
Lian Qixia peeked through Ye Qingzhou's puppet body at a glance, with a pair of phoenix eyes, looking directly at Ye Qingzhou's ghost: "What an exquisite puppet, I never thought that Brother Wang is so versatile, he even has the art of armor-breaking." So proficient.”
"A little trick made His Royal Highness Yao laugh."
Ye Qingzhou opened the bead curtain and sat on the edge of the jade bed without hesitation: "I do have bad intentions, but this intention will not only do no harm to His Highness, but will actually be of great benefit."
< br>
"Oh? Tell me, what kind of benefit is it that can be bigger than the sky?"
Lian Qixia leaned over lazily, holding her head in her hand, looking at Ye Qingzhou with a scornful expression, as if she were looking at a little puppy trying its best to please its master.
"Your Highness, do you want to be the leader of the country? I can help you achieve your wish."
"Haha, Brother Wang is really good at joking. Do I need your help?"
Lian Qixia's eyes showed a playful smile, she raised her jade feet and stretched them directly into Ye Qingzhou's arms: "If you want to please me, you have to find another way."
Ye Qingzhou didn't shy away from it. He directly held her feet and gently kneaded them, massaging the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet. After Lian Qixia was so comfortable that she narrowed her eyes, he said: "Being the leader of the country in five years will be the same as being the leader in five days." Lord, do you think it can be the same?”
"Huh?"
Lian Qixia's expression changed, her eyes narrowed, and her sharp eyes suddenly fell on Ye Qingzhou, which greatly increased his pressure: "What do you mean by this?"
"At the Divine Sword Festival, someone will be harmful to the king."
"That's it?"
Lian Qixia looked quite disdainful and obviously didn't take it seriously.
You know, the Rakshasa women's country built its country through war and relied on martial arts to establish respect. What kind of storms and waves has it not experienced?
The assassination of the king has happened too many times.
But for thousands of years, there has been no successful example.
After all, the previous kings of the country were the strongest men in the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom, and they also held the magic weapon Luan and Phoenix in their hands, which was enough to rival the powerful kings who climbed to the eleventh level of the sky. How could a mere shady assassin successfully assassinate someone?
However, Ye Qingzhou firmly believed in the changes in luck he had seen, so he said to Lian Qixia: "This time is different. If there are no changes, the king may be doomed."
"Hmph~"
Lian Qixia opened her eyes, and endless murderous intent suddenly surged in, wrapping Ye Qingzhou in it.
"Shut up!"
Lian Qixia was immediately very angry when she heard that something happened at her mother's fire refining and weaving meeting.
Although she wanted to be the leader of the country and was dissatisfied with her mother's preference for her sister Lian Hongying, she never thought about Lian Huozhi and die.
In fact, compared to Lian Hongying, who cares about all the people, she is the child who never grew up.
From childhood to adulthood, what Lian Qixia longed for most was Lian Huozhi's favor and recognition.
She always wanted to be the most proud daughter in her mother's eyes.
Her hostility towards Lian Hongying originally came from this instinct to compete for favor.
So she would never allow anything to happen to Lianhuozhi.
The God of War became angry and laid down millions of corpses!
Ye Qingzhou only felt that he was like a small boat in the rough waves, as if he might capsize in the waves at any time.
"Your Highness King Yao, don't be impulsive. I am not your enemy."
Lian Qixia, who finally calmed down, still had anger on her face. She looked at Ye Qingzhou with sharp eyes: "Tell me clearly, what do you know?"
Ye Qingzhou did not continue to stimulate Lian Qixia, but began to sow discord: "King E secretly planned to murder the king, and then instigate an internal fight between you and King Chan, so that she can reap the benefits and become the king. ”
"Do you have evidence?"
"No."
Ye Qingzhou spread his hands. Where did he get the evidence?
Everything so far is just his guess based on the changes in the fate of the Rakshasa Girl Country.
"..."
Lian Qixia was speechless for a while, then she glared at Ye Qingzhou and cursed angrily: "King E has a reputation as a virtuous person. She is also her mother's biological sister. Why should I believe what you say?"
Ye Qingzhou smiled when he heard this: "When His Highness asked this sentence, he already believed it in his heart."
"..."
Seeing Lian Qixia's silence, Ye Qingzhou further confirmed his judgment: "Whether King E really wants to rebel is not important at all. What is important is that King E has the ability to rebel, then she should die. Am I right?”
The emperor's mind has always been like this.
Throughout the ages, how many ministers and famous generals have suffered from suspicion and eventually their clans were exterminated?
Do each of them really want to rebel?
Of course not.
But when you have the ability to rebel, no matter whether you have the idea of rebellion or not, the outcome is actually destined.
Kings never gamble on human nature. They will only instinctively nip all threats in the cradle and eradicate them. Only in this way can they sit back and relax.
Lian Qixia did not refute Ye Qingzhou's words. At the same time, she restrained her anger and murderous intent. She just had a pair of phoenix eyes, which were as cold as a knife at this moment: "What do you want?"
"I would like to make a deal with His Highness."
"Deal?"
"Not bad."
Ye Qingzhou immediately stated his request: "There are two contents of the transaction. First, I want King E's life. Second, I hope that after His Highness ascends to the throne of the king, he can fully support King Chan's reforms."< br>
"This is impossible!"
Lian Qixia just heard the word 'reform' and flatly refused without thinking.
But Ye Qingzhou had already figured out Lian Qixia's thoughts, so he directly moved out Lian Huozhi: "Don't you, Your Highness, want to make the Rakshasa Girl Country great again? With such an achievement, the king must be very pleased, right?" br>
"Well..."
Lian Qixia frowned in thought, but did not refuse directly.
And Ye Qingzhou continued: "The so-called reform is essentially a redistribution of interests. Your Highness can take this opportunity to manipulate public opinion and strengthen the royal power. Once King E died, there were only four strong warriors left in the Rakshasa Kingdom. People. Although the divine general Dao Yuzhi comes from a family of generals, he is destined to be a lonely tree."
Lian Qixia was actually moved, but she still had concerns: "My mother will not agree."
"If you don't agree, it doesn't mean you will stand up and oppose it. Even if they are two against one, His Highness and Sister Chan are of the same mind and still have a chance of winning. What is there to worry about?"
Ye Qingzhou's "teaching" or instigation soon made Lian Qixia unable to extricate herself.
Who doesn’t want to strengthen the power in his hands and become a king who sticks to his word?
The reform ideas given by Ye Qingzhou were also in line with Lian Qixia's vital interests. After all, it was the nobles who were given the cake, not the royal family.
If she can win over common people to carve up the interests of the nobles, then the Rakshasa Girl Country under her control may be able to create an unprecedented prosperous age.
By then, wouldn't he be able to prove to his mother that she is a better king than his sister Lian Hongying?
But the premise of all this is that the safety of Lianhuo Zhi cannot go wrong.
Seeing this, Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you ever heard of the Holy Phoenix Nirvana Pill?"
"The ultimate elixir that can bring people back to life?"
Lian Qixia's beautiful eyes lit up and she looked at Ye Qingzhou with a burning gaze: "You actually have such a panacea in your hand?"
"No."
"You are making me happy, right?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. Although I don't have it, I know how to refine it."
"You?"
"I have "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" in my hand."
"Seriously!?"
Lian Qixia's face was filled with joy, and the last worries in her heart disappeared.
Ye Qingzhou then told the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, the most important of which was the precious blood of the divine bird Phoenix, of which only Lian Qixia had a copy.
This is why Ye Qingzhou came to her for cooperation.
Three days later, the Divine Sword Festival.
After three days and nights without sleep, Ye Qingzhou finally used the Shennong Cauldron to refine the Holy Phoenix Nirvana Pill. At the same time, he also used the exotic flowers and fruits provided by Lian Qixia to greatly improve his level of alchemy.
Today, his alchemy skills have been upgraded from the realm of Dacheng to the realm of perfection. Ye Qingzhou has molecular-level control over the materials and properties of medicinal materials.
Looking at Ye Qingzhou's chicken coop, Lian Hongying took the comb from the maid's hand and helped him comb it: "The competition is about to take place. How did you get yourself to look like this?"
Although his tone was reproachful, Lian Hongying cared about him as if he were his own brother: "Change your clothes before setting off."
"Yeah."
Ye Qingzhou naturally followed the good and followed the flow.
When they arrived at the arena of the Divine Sword Festival, there was already a sea of people there. Thirty-two players from twenty-six cities, except for Ye Qingzhou, were all ready at this moment.
Ye Qingzhou's appearance immediately pushed the atmosphere of the scene to its peak, and countless people in the capital cheered enthusiastically for him.
Including Ye Qingzhou, a total of six craftsmen appeared in the Royal Capital for this year's Divine Sword Festival, and Ye Qingzhou was the only member of the royal family among the six.
Although he was a prince, the nobles did not recognize him at all.
But how can the people of the royal capital care so much?
In their eyes, a prince coming to participate in the craftsman's competition is enough to make them proud.
Lian Hongying is also cheering Ye Qingzhou: "Brother Wang, perform well."
"Yes, I will."
Ye Qingzhou walked through the aisle and before entering the arena, Lian Qixia appeared beside him: "Where are the things?"
"Here."
He took out a porcelain bottle from the Xiayu Treasure Ring and handed it to Lian Qixia: "As long as the king of the country takes this medicine in time, he can be brought back to life."
"Holy Phoenix Nirvana Pill!"
Lian Qixia excitedly took the elixir. After confirming that it was genuine, she looked at Ye Qingzhou differently: "It seems that you have really received the inheritance of Emperor Yan. No wonder my good sister Wang You look at it like a treasure. According to rumors, Emperor Yan wrote a book called "Heavenly Casting Scripture", which contains the art of casting magic weapons by heaven and man."
"Your Highness, you can't be too greedy."
Ye Qingzhou is not worried about Lian Qixia telling her, but wants to use her power to clear all obstacles.
