Chapter 231 The Emperor of Chu's Performance (8000)

"I will be in danger, what do you mean?" Xu Bai looked at Liu Qingfeng back and forth when he heard Liu Qingfeng's words.

He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, saying that if he didn't step into the sainthood, he would be in danger.

What danger?

Now for him, the two biggest threats are the two sainthood masters who escaped from the barbarians.

But the tricks used by these two sainthood masters have been cracked.

They can't blatantly step into the territory of the barbarians, so this kind of danger is much smaller.

But seeing that Liu Qingfeng said it very seriously, as if it was really the case, after Xu Bai asked this question, he patiently waited for Liu Qingfeng's answer.

Liu Qingfeng said solemnly: "Lord Xu, the danger I just mentioned is not the danger in the human world. Now, in this human world, there is nothing that can threaten you."

This is true. With Xu Bai's current strength and status, he can really walk sideways in the human world, and no one can threaten him.

As for the two barbarians, when Xu Bai becomes stronger, they will no longer be a threat. He will even find an opportunity to catch these two guys and kill them to avenge today’s revenge.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and soon came up with the answer. He stared at Liu Qingfeng and slowly said two words: "Gui City."

Liu Qingfeng nodded and said: "Yes, it is Gui City. Now, the biggest threat to Prince Xu is Gui City. The reason is very simple. They already know your existence."

"Knowing my existence?" Xu Bai touched his chin with his hand: "What does this have to do with my danger?"

Liu Qingfeng explained: "When Prince Xu first stepped into Gui City, it caused quite a stir."

"They already know that there is a human who can enter and exit Gui City freely, will not be threatened by Gui City, and his soul can be perfectly preserved."

"Just this point is enough for them to pose a threat to Prince Xu. Prince Xu, do you know that the Gui City is very interested in existences like you? They can't wait to catch you and study you thoroughly."

After saying this, Liu Qingfeng has expressed his meaning completely, and Xu Bai also understood it.

"So that's what happened. They are interested in me because I can enter Guishi at will, and even pose a threat to me." Xu Bai thought to himself.

If this is true, it is not just a threat, but an absolutely terrifying danger.

When a person attracts the attention of a huge force, this danger will multiply exponentially.

Xu Bai is like this at the moment. He seems to have become a thorn in the eye of Guishi. Guishi wants to pull it out, and then take Xu Bai's ability to evade the rules for itself.

"In other words, when the human world and Guishi go to war, I will be the first target of Guishi's attack, or their key target." Xu Bai said.

Liu Qingfeng nodded: "It's not just a key target. They will catch you at all costs. After catching you back, they will definitely use some terrifying means."

"I understand." Xu Bai said that he already understood.

Liu Qingfeng was a little confused. He didn't know why Xu Bai was so indifferent. This doubt appeared on his face and was seen by Xu Bai.

Xu Bai smiled: "The reason why I am so calm is not that I don't take them seriously, but since it has become an established fact, what I have to do now is to work hard to improve my strength and make myself safer."

When things come to a critical moment, many people will panic, get confused, and even lose their sense of proportion, but Xu Bai is different.

He thinks that since things have been decided, he should just follow his plan and strive to reach the level of sainthood before the opening of the Ghost City and the human world.

Even if the number of saints is full, Xu Bai wants to try whether he can break the rule of only nine.

"Since Lord Xu is clear, I will take my leave." Liu Qingfeng bowed slightly.

He said what he should say, and he felt that he should leave.

Xu Bai said with interest: "Do you have a place to stay now? Do you know where you are going?"

Liu Qingfeng thought about it and shook his head: "I don't have any plans for the time being. Let's see when the time comes. Think about it while walking."

He knew his situation. The most important thing now was to repair this remnant soul, which would take some time.

After all, what he had left in this world was just a remnant soul, and he still needed to spend time on repairing it.

As for how to settle down and how to go on the subsequent road, he had not thought it through clearly. After all, everything now became unfamiliar to him.

In an unfamiliar environment, what to do next, this needs to be considered later.

"What I mean is, you might as well stay here. Why do you have to go out and wander around? With your current strength, you can live well here." Xu Bai said.

In fact, the meaning of recruiting has been generated in the words.

For the current fiefdom, the most lacking is not the large number of manpower, but these top masters.

The man in front of him was a peerless genius. Even though he had been crazy for so long, he still had the strength of the seventh rank.

As long as he was given some time, he would be able to recover to the ninth rank. By then, there would be another ninth rank master in this fiefdom.

Liu Qingfeng was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "I am not very interested in being an official. It would be futile to stay here, and I don't have the ability to be an official."

He knew very well what his situation was. If it came to fighting, he was good at it and was very good at it.

But if he really wanted to be an official, he would be a little overwhelmed.

Being strong and able to fight does not mean that he has the talent and ability to be an official. Liu Qingfeng knew very well that he was more like a lone ranger.

"I'm not asking you to be an official." Xu Bai smiled.

Liu Qingfeng was puzzled and asked, "Then why should I stay here?"

In the first few sentences, he had already figured out Xu Bai's meaning, and thought that Xu Bai wanted him to be an official, but after saying these few sentences, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be confused.

Xu Bai said very simply: "I won't let you be an official, but just let you be a master here. If there are serious problems that can't be handled, you can go and help."

Liu Qingfeng opened his mouth and wanted to continue to refuse, but was interrupted by Xu Bai's hand.

Xu Bai said: "Why are you so stubborn? Think about it, here, I can let you see so many precious secret books, whether it is for you to repair your soul or improve your realm, it will be of great help."

"You have enough things here to improve your realm."

After the voice fell, before Liu Qingfeng agreed, the female master next to him looked at Xu Bai with surprised eyes.

"Why do I have to use the Taoist's experience of failing to become a saint in exchange for the opportunity to read books here? He doesn't have to pay anything to read books."

This really made her puzzled. When she met Xu Bai, she gave him a big gift.

After all, things like the experience of failing to become a saint are treasures of various forces, so what she couldn't figure out was here.

Xu Bai turned his head and said meaningfully: "This matter should be viewed separately. What we have is a business. You can't stay here forever, right?"

The female master heard it and felt that it made sense. She nodded and admitted that it was true.

This is a fact, and she couldn't refute it. After all, she might leave after finding what she needs, and it is impossible for her to stay like Liu Qingfeng.

More importantly, she was just looking for an opportunity to become a saint. According to the means of equal exchange, it really didn't make sense.

"Okay, no more words, I have to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this matter quickly, otherwise if it's too late, it will easily delay military intelligence." Xu Bai said.

Liu Qingfeng has been thinking about what Xu Bai said since he spoke.

Indeed, as Xu Bai said, he needs a good place.

He has no goal, no clues, and most importantly, he really needs to find a stable environment to stay in, not only to improve his strength, but more importantly to stabilize his residual soul.

"Alas..." Liu Qingfeng sighed, "Then I will disturb Prince Xu, I hope Prince Xu can forgive me."

Xu Bai waved his hand, indicating that all this is just a small problem and there is no need to be so polite.

Next, the few people have nothing to say.

Liu Qingfeng also found a place and started reading a book.

Xu Bai did not stay here, he needed to find the Ninth Princess quickly and let the Ninth Princess pass on the content here through the fastest route.

It can let the King of Chu get the news in the fastest time, and it can also give the King of Chu one more day to deal with danger.

"Go and have a look first."

Thinking of this, Xu Bai raised his foot and disappeared at the door.

His figure gradually disappeared, but Liu Qingfeng and Nuguan ignored him and read books by themselves.

…

At this time, at the ruins.

People had already entered, and each force had arranged people to enter.

This thing itself is life and death by fate, wealth and honor by heaven. They are waiting here, and they also have to fulfill their responsibilities. If someone comes out alive, they will naturally take this person away as soon as possible.

Just when everyone was waiting seriously, suddenly, a powerful person in the industry looked up and looked at the end of the sky. His face was puzzled at first, and soon became shocked.

"He's coming!" Everyone was shocked and excited.

In the distant sky, a young man in ordinary clothes was coming on the auspicious clouds in the sky.

Although there was no special change in the sky around the young man, when this person appeared, everyone present was shocked. In addition, they were more at a loss. These people in the industry have recognized the identity of the person.

——Xu Bai!

Several leaders of various forces began to whisper to each other, and Xu Bai, who was flying through the air, heard it all clearly.

"So he is the Blood Slaughter Swordsman. I have seen his portrait, but never met him. Today, I see that he is indeed extraordinary."

"More than extraordinary, this man is truly worthy of being the first of the young generation. Just by looking at him, you can see how powerful he is. He is worthy of being the Blood Slaughter Swordsman!"

"The Blood Slaughter Swordsman is worthy of the name. I am not as good as him."

Xu Bai's eyebrows jumped wildly. The guys in front of him were constantly testing his bottom line.

What he disliked most was that others called him the Blood Slaughter Swordsman, but these people in front of him completely touched all his taboos.

If the current environment was not different, according to his previous nature, he would probably have to beat all these people up to relieve his hatred.

Everyone didn't know why, Xu Bai's face suddenly became very gloomy.

They didn't know what they had done wrong, and they all looked at others, meaning that this was your fault, and they were probably bearing joint responsibility now.

Of course, no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't think that it was because of the title.

Xu Bai fell from the sky and slowly landed beside Chu Ling and Ye Zi. Then, he came to Chu Ling's ear, but didn't say it directly, but changed his way.

Now there are many people here, and some secrets can't be said at will.

But Xu Bai's method of using the soul has reached the level of the ninth level of transcendence, so he has learned a more detailed way.

With a slight movement of the soul, Xu Bai has said everything he heard through the soul.

Chu Ling was originally wondering why Xu Bai's face turned so bad, as if someone had offended him.

When he felt the message transmitted by Xu Bai's soul, he already understood the reason.

Chu Ling's face changed slightly, and became as heavy as Xu Bai.

"I will inform my father right away." Chu Ling thought in his mind. This was the method Xu Bai taught him just now.

Xu Bai nodded, meaning to go now.

Chu Ling left without saying anything, and this scene was also seen by those forces.

Several forces were a little chaotic. They had seen from Chu Ling's departure that something big seemed to be happening, so they were a little flustered.

At this time, Xu Bai couldn't leave, and the reason was very simple.

If Chu Ling left, and he left too, then only Ye Zi would be left here to manage the ruins. This was not very reasonable.

Seeing that the group of people were a little commotion, Xu Bai's gloomy face gradually improved and he smiled.

His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of the group of people, so that the group of people could hear it clearly.

"With this king here, there will be no chaos. You just do your things well, what? Do you think that this king can't be here?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally chaotic scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at each other and said in unison.

"Don't dare!"

This sentence was spoken from the heart, and there was no falsehood.

It was not only because of Xu Bai's identity, but also because of Xu Bai's strength.

Now, among the saints, Xu Bai is the strongest, and they certainly dare not offend him.

"That's good, you should do whatever you should do, don't be restrained just because I'm here." Xu Bai waved his hand, his eyes swept over the group of people, and finally stopped at one place.

Wuhua and Liuxu were also looking at Xu Bai at this time, and when their eyes met, they both smiled knowingly.

"Come here!" Xu Bai said softly.

Next to him, the maid ran over.

"Your Highness."

Xu Bai pointed at Wuhua and Liuxu and said, "Bring two chairs and let them sit."

"Yes!" The maid trotted away.

Not long after, two chairs were brought over.

Xu Bai waved his hand: "How long are you two going to stand down there? Come up quickly."

Wuhua and Liuxu looked at each other, and then walked up without hesitation.

Everyone cast envious eyes again, and everyone had different ideas in their hearts.

This is what is called "one man's success brings prosperity to all his family members".

If they had known that Xu Bai would achieve what he has today, they would have come to curry favor with him every day.

It's the time and the fate!

They also know that currying favor with him now will have little effect and may even be annoying.

Liu Xu and Wu Hua sat down.

Wu Hua spoke first: "Alas, I didn't expect that the former donor Xu has now become Prince Xu, and even a master of the ninth rank. It really makes me ashamed!"

Xu Bai wanted to knock on Wu Hua's bald head like before, but when he saw Wu Hua's black hair, he felt a little regretful: "You are doing well too. The Buddhist disciples of the world are the cornerstone of the future development of Buddhism."

Wu Hua subconsciously touched his head and laughed foolishly.

Only among them would Wu Hua behave like this.

Xu Bai turned his gaze to Liu Xu again, but his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong with you?"

Liu Xu is a beautiful woman with a good figure. Although she always likes to wear a veil, she is actually a woman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

If she meets an unfamiliar person, she will act as cold as an iceberg, but when she gets familiar with him, she will show another side.

At the beginning, the three of them were not strong. When they experienced that life and death period, Xu Bai had already understood Liu Xu's character very well.

In general, she is a reader who likes to write special plots.

Very strange.

But now, he saw Liu Xu silent, which was not in line with Liu Xu's character.

Liu Xu shook her head and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's a little uncomfortable to meet suddenly."

Although she said so, Liu Xu's heart was full of waves.

She kept thinking of what the teacher said, repeating and struggling in her heart.

After a while, she sighed in her heart.

"Now... it's not the right time. I'm not ready yet."

Thinking of this, Liu Xu returned to her previous state and teased, "Lord Xu, you still have time to care about our affairs."

Now, in Xu Bai's eyes, Liu Xu returned to normal, and he didn't think about it anymore.

The three of them began to chat and chat happily. Ye Zi next to them was still writing with his head down.

Gradually, after nearly an incense stick of time, Chu Ling came back.

As soon as she came back here, Chu Ling nodded secretly to Xu Bai, saying that she had already notified him, but the message would take time to reach the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

It's okay to send the message, Xu Bai doesn't care.

But now it's embarrassing to leave. Since I'm here, I have to wait until the ruins are over.

"How long will it take to end?" Xu Bai asked.

Chu Ling shook her head: "This ruins is not big, you can see from the surface that it won't take too long, but I can't calculate the specific time."

Xu Bai understood.

It won't take too long, and I won't waste too much time.

Since it has been solved, he is free now, so he chats with Wuhua and Liuxu again.

Gradually, time began to pass.

Until the night fell, there was movement in the twisted space.

One by one, people walked out of it, all of them had more or less scars on their bodies, and everyone looked miserable. Some even lost an arm or a thigh, but they still survived tenaciously.

Xu Bai was silent, and the forces present did not speak, and silently took their members back.

This is the cruelty of the ruins. If you want to get an opportunity, then it will inevitably lead to death. Everything is resigned to fate.

There is no free lunch in the world, and pie will not fall from the sky. The cruelty of people in the industry is also vivid.

At this time, it was already late, and the ruins disappeared quickly. After Chu Ling said something, the forces present were ready to disperse.

After returning, these forces still asked their members what they had gained from this relic, so no one said much.

Xu Bai did not interfere and did not say anything, after all, the king of this fiefdom was Chu Ling.

When almost everyone left, only three forces stayed.

To be precise, it was the Buddhist sect, the academy, and one person.

The person who stayed was not special, but seemed extremely nervous and cramped.

Xu Bai frowned and said, "Who are you?"

Inexplicably, one person was left behind, which was beyond his expectation.

"I am... I am... I am a yamen runner in the hands of Prince Yun. This time I came here to convey Prince Yun's news. Prince Yun said... Let Prince Xu save a good position for him."

This person stuttered and was very nervous.

In fact, it can't be blamed on him. He is just an ordinary yamen runner. There are so many big figures here. It would be a lie if he was not nervous. It's good enough to be able to speak.

Xu Bai suddenly realized what was going on, and then he remembered that Yun Zihai hadn't come.

"I've already come to the Barbarians, why doesn't this guy come to support me?"

Speaking of Yun Zihai, during the time they spent together, they felt quite compatible, and it stands to reason that he should come to help, and this place is also suitable for Yun Zihai to display his talents.

The yamen runner nervously explained: "Prince Yun has long been named a king of a different surname. According to the rules of the Great Chu State, it is impossible for him to come, but Prince Yun said..."

"I dare to repeat Prince Yun's tone, please forgive me, Prince Xu."

As he spoke, the yamen runner began to imitate Yun Zihai's tone:

"Since Brother Xu has gone to the Barbarians, I, Yun Zihai, have to help him out. After a while, I will go to His Majesty to resign from the position of prince, and come to Brother Xu to seek a job."

Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

This really seems like something Yun Zihai would do. This guy is reliable most of the time, but sometimes he is particularly unreliable, like when he breaks through a realm.

"My senior brother broke through to the extraordinary realm without telling the dean. He almost died at that time." Liu Xu said helplessly: "The dean took great efforts to finally save him."

Yun Zihai was born prematurely, so he had defects, so every time he broke through a great realm, it was a huge horror.

But this guy had to break through every time, so he brought a lot of trouble to the dean.

"Speaking of which, this guy also reached the extraordinary realm, it's really fast." Xu Bai sighed: "Go back and tell Brother Yun that when he resigns from the position of prince, he can be any official here."

He is familiar with Yun Zihai. Not only is Yun Zihai's strength super strong, but more importantly, his management and governance talents are unparalleled.

After Xu Bai left, Yunlai Mansion was managed in an orderly manner and even developed rapidly. He knew all this.

With Yun Zihai's help, everything is naturally even more powerful.

"Yes!" The yamen runner quickly agreed.

Without staying too much, nor daring to stay too much, he left in a hurry.

Xu Bai turned around and said, "You two, follow me into the palace. Tonight, the three of us will have a candlelit chat. Your people will also live in the palace."

As the saying goes, it is a great pleasure to have friends from afar.

With both friends here, Xu Bai will indulge himself tonight and not work on the progress bar.

Liu Xu and Wu Hua nodded and agreed.

Everyone did not stay any longer and went straight to the palace...

...

The next day.

Great Chu State, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Eunuch Wei was standing nearby, with his hands in his sleeves, silently lowering his head.

The King of Chu was holding a letter in his hand. After reading the letter, he handed it to Eunuch Wei and said, "Take a look."

Eunuch Wei responded and opened the letter.

When he finished reading, he tore the letter into pieces and threw it into the brazier next to him.

"Your Majesty, it seems that our chances of winning this battle are very low."

This letter was sent to the palace by Chu Ling.

It explained in detail the changes of the masters who had entered the Sainthood in Guishi.

The Emperor of Chu nodded: "I know."

Eunuch Wei was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, why are you so calm?"

He was a little surprised.

Having followed the Emperor of Chu for so many years, Eunuch Wei knew the Emperor of Chu best.

And now he is so calm, not like the Emperor of Chu before.

The Emperor of Chu smiled and said: "What is coming will come, and this battle will come sooner or later. There is no need to worry too much. Just fight when the time comes."

Eunuch Wei did not speak, he always felt that something was wrong.

The Emperor of Chu suddenly said: "I am tired, today's morning court will not be held, I want to rest for a day."

Eunuch Wei frowned even more.

Since the Emperor of Chu came to power, this morning court has never been interrupted, but it is not held today?

However, he saw that the Emperor of Chu really didn't want to talk, and thought that the Emperor of Chu was upset because of this letter, so he stopped disturbing him and said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Eunuch Wei said something.

"Your Majesty, if you need me to die again, tell me anytime."

The Emperor of Chu watched Eunuch Wei leave without saying anything.

After the door was closed by Eunuch Wei, he stood up, came to the window, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Outside the window, it was still the same.

The Emperor of Chu had seen this scenery for many years, but he had never been tired of it. Whenever he was in a bad mood or in a good mood, he would come here to take a look.

After so many years, it has become a habit.

After watching it for a while, the Emperor of Chu retracted his gaze.

"Well... since there is no morning court, today, I will be unbridled."

The Emperor of Chu went out, and he went to the harem.

After arriving at the harem, he went directly to the Queen's residence and pushed the door open.

The queen was lighting incense in the incense burner. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, isn't it the morning court now? Why are you here?"

Although the queen has reached middle age, she still looks like she did when she was young.

The emperor of Chu smiled and said: "I won't attend the morning court today, so I'll come to accompany you."

The queen reacted, although she didn't know why, but she still pulled the emperor of Chu to sit down.

Just when she was about to say something, she didn't expect the emperor of Chu to speak first.

"Hate me?"

These three sudden words, anyone may not be able to understand, but the queen knows it in her heart.

The queen shook her head and rubbed the shoulders of the emperor of Chu: "No, that's their fate."

"Born in the imperial family, and even more in the family of a good emperor, with this honor, they naturally have to shoulder the responsibility, and dying on the battlefield is their destination."

"Just as your majesty said, the children of other people are also children, and your children are also children. People can send their children to the battlefield, and you can too."

Listening to the queen's words, the emperor of Chu sighed slightly and patted the queen's hand.

"I have nine children, many of whom died on the battlefield. I also have a concubine who defeated the enemy with a sword to save me, but eventually died of a hidden disease."

"And those soldiers who died on the battlefield, and those who have dedicated themselves to the Great Chu Kingdom over the years, their deaths are all related to me, and I feel guilty about them."

"For so many years, everyone knows that I am the emperor, but I know in my heart that they are."

The queen listened to the Emperor Chu's chattering and wondered: "Your Majesty, have you encountered any troubles?"

In the past, the Emperor Chu would not talk so much, but today seemed strange.

The Emperor Chu shook his head and said, "No, I just feel that there are still many things to do, and many loopholes in the Great Chu Kingdom have not been filled."

"Now, most of the people in the Great Chu Kingdom have no worries about food and clothing, and your majesty just needs time." The queen said, "It can't be rushed."

"Yes." The Emperor Chu said, "It can't be rushed."

He changed the subject and didn't want to say more here.

"Talk to me about other things, about the past."

The queen smiled and said, "I obey your order."

...

That day, the King of Chu stayed in the Queen's bedroom until the afternoon, and then went to the bedrooms of other concubines. After a long time, at night, he walked out of the palace alone.

It was late at night, and there were no people on the streets. They didn't know that the emperor of the entire Chu Kingdom was walking on the streets.

The King of Chu looked at all the streets and finally came to the Zhaixing Tower.

"Your Majesty, please."

In front of the Zhaixing Tower, General Mu hunched his body and looked like an ordinary old man.

The King of Chu waved his hand and said lightly: "All the hidden pieces, withdraw them all, no one can stay, otherwise, I will take your heads."

As he finished this sentence, a series of black shadows quickly moved away.

General Mu was stunned. He didn't understand what happened.

At this time, the King of Chu looked at General Mu with a complicated look and said, "Go in and talk..."
