Chapter 44: Up (1)
Translator: 549690339
From the establishment of Great Chu until now, it could be said to be extremely bumpy. It was only now that it was slightly stable.
However, the situation was not very good.
There were demons and strange people in the palace, as well as those Jianghu people who had entered the evil path.
Outside, there were Great Yue and the barbarians eyeing them covetously. If they were not careful, they would have to worry about the country being destroyed.
The Emperor of the Great Chu Country was a man of great talent, with great strategy and courage.
All the generals were guarding the border.
The literati stabilized the internal affairs and managed to balance the internal and external affairs.
What was even more courageous was to set up the Heaven Inspectorate and use the martial artists to control the martial artists.
With the three parties working together, Great Chu was heading towards a good place.
However, there was one word that could not be separated from this-money.
Do you need money to maintain the army?
Do you need money for your salary?
Do you need money to build all kinds of facilities?
They all wanted money, and they wanted a lot of money.
However, the Emperor also understood that he could not raise the tax standard because of money. Otherwise, it would cause even more internal trouble.
Then what if he didn’t have money?
Doing business!
Doing business with all his might!
However, as a member of the royal family, doing business was a disgrace.
At this time, the Ninth Princess was born.
On the surface, the Ninth Princess was not favored by the royal family.
However, in secret, the Ninth Princess ‘business involved a wide range of businesses and earned a lot of money for the royal family of Great Chu.
Moreover, the people from the royal family also had their own opinions.
She’s no longer in power. She can do whatever she wants. Anyvvay, we’re not the ones who asked her to do it.
It had to be said that this move was brilliant.
Any official who had some eyes understood the meaning behind it.
Therefore, Magistrate Zhang knew that he could not offend the Ninth Princess.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Lin family had given him a lot of money, he would have left them alone long ago.
Now, he was asking him to offend the Ninth Princess. Wasn’t that asking for a beating?
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor had said that if one broke the law, they could be arrested. However, this was not illegal.
He had no choice. If he was caught, it would cut off the royal family’s source of income. He knew very well what the outcome would be if the source of income was cut off.
“We’ll find an excuse to release that courtesan later and this matter will end here.”County Magistrate Zhang thought about it and quickly left the Lin Manor.
The sudden death of the young master of the Lin family had spread like wildfire in Sheng County.
Some of the people who had been bullied clapped and cheered when they heard the news. They ran back and forth in the streets and alleys to pass on the joyous news to those they knew.
In addition to Xiaoyue’s previous incident, the commoners felt carefree and felt that the anger in their chests had eased.
At this moment, in the Dragon Conqueror Bodyguard Agency, Xu Bai was sitting on a small stool as usual, looking at the locust tree in front of him.
The golden progress bar was very close to completion. He estimated that he would succeed tonight, so he did not take a step out of the backyard.
“Brother Xu, Brother Xu, have you heard the news?”
In the front yard, Liu Er kept waving his hands.
Until now, the escorts still did not dare to step into the backyard. After all, this locust tree was too strange.
Xu Bai stood up from the stool and walked to the front yard to ask what was going on.
“The young master of the Lin family died in a woman’s stomach. I’m so happy.”Liu Er waved his hand excitedly.
He thought that since Xu Bai hadn’t gone out all day, he might not have heard the news, so he brought the news over. It was also a good opportunity to chat and get closer.
He, Liu Er, had specially fawned over Escort Leader Xu.
“What did County Magistrate Zhang say?” Xu Bai pretended to be surprised and asked.
“The Lin Manor wanted to punish the courtesan, but Magistrate Zhang chased him out and took the courtesan away. The butcher who sold meat next to him had a relative who worked there. After that, I heard from the old butler that Magistrate Zhang was unwilling to punish the courtesan. “Liu Er said.
Unwilling?
Xu Bai rubbed his chin.
This situation was beyond his expectations.
However…There seemed to be room for manipulation.
“Alright, I got it. Tell the brothers to hurry up and practice. If there are any darts, their skills won’t be rusty.”Xu Bai said, pretending not to care.
Liu Er was a sensible person. He knew that Xu Bai didn’t want to say anything more, so he didn’t stay any longer. He said goodbye and left.
After Liu Er left, Xu Bai returned to the small stool and sat in the backyard, staring at the locust tree.
As he stared, he fell into deep thought.
To be honest, County Magistrate Zhang was not a good person.
He was also involved in Xiaoyue’s matter.
Xu Bai had wanted to mess with him for a long time, but this was different from messing with Lin Fenghua. This was an official of the imperial court and a scholar.
If he really did it directly, it would be troublesome.
But thinking about it carefully, Liu Er’s words just now seemed to indicate that County Magistrate Zhang did not care about the Lin Manor’s matters anymore.
If he didn’t care about the Lin Manor, there would be room for him to operate.
As for how to do it, it was urgent.
The progress bar of the locust tree was about to be filled up. When it was full, County Magistrate Zhang would not be able to escape.
The most important thing now was the progress bar.
“It’ll be fine at night. I don’t know what it is after spending so much effort.”Xu Bai thought.
Time slowly passed. The sun set and night fell.
All the bodyguards left the agency and returned to their own homes. Only Xu Bai was still in the backyard, sitting on his unique small stool.
To be honest, this small stool was very comfortable to sit on. It was not uncomfortable at all.
The only drawback was that his legs would go numb after sitting for a long time.
The sound of the night beats in the street not far away, and the night watchman begins his daily life every night.
In the pitch-black night, only the sound of the night watch could bring warmth.
The night was a little cold. Xu Bai put on a coat and still stared at the locust tree.
The progress bar slowly increased. Finally, when the last bit of the progress bar was full, light blue words appeared in font of him
[You observed the locust tree in the backyard and comprehended the reversal of Yin and Yang.]
When the words appeared, Xu Bail s expression did not change.
He had been in a daze for a long time and was numb to it.
After the light blue text appeared, it did not last long before it turned into smoke in an instant.
A moment later, new words appeared.
[Fusion option detected. Fusion in progress.]
[Four Slaughtering Heart Technique + Reversal of Yin and Yang = Reversal of the Four Directions.]
[Fusion successful!]
As the last line of text appeared, the text disappeared and a huge amount of information fused into it.
With the influx of information, Xu Bai realized that the golden airflow in his body had also changed.
The color was still light gold, and there was nothing unusual about it, but there seemed to be something extra. Xu Bai understood the reason.
Divine Essence!
This was the divine essence unique to Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism!
The Reversal of Yin and Yang was not only a cultivation method of the One Gate, but also a cultivation method of the Divine Element!
In the past, when he named his Refined Qi, it was derived from True Qi, Divine Essence, and Spiritual Energy. Now, it finally lived up to its name and completely matched the name of Refined Qi.
Cured OCD.
Xu Bai silently mulled over the information in his mind. A moment later, he smiled.
“As expected of the ‘Under’.”
The mental cultivation method after this fusion, apart from the group battle ability of the Four Sides Massacre, also had the effect of reversing Yin and Yang.
The so-called reversal of Yin and Yang could be summed up in two words..
