The Sword Dynasty - 547. Chapter 546

Time passed and spring had not yet arrived, yet another rain fell in Changling.

Winter rain is no better than spring rain, and it is often annoying.

What’s more, for most practitioners, rain and water mean femininity. In Changling, there are only a few practitioners, such as Ye Ce Leng, whose natal aura fits the meaning of water.

Rain can act as a barrier to practitioners’ perception, and can cover up a lot of breath.

Therefore, in the world of practitioners, many major events often happen with the arrival of heavy rain.

Huang Zhenwei stood under the rain canopy on the top floor of a turret, silently watching a yellow robe practitioner walk into the palace.

This is from Jiaodong County.

Since Yuanwu ascended the throne and Zheng Xiu officially became the mistress of the entire Qin Dynasty, the color of the yellow robe, which is similar to dry soil, has become a unique symbol of the envoy of Jiaodong County.

Perhaps for some privileges, or to show a unique position, these Jiaodong County messengers never conceal their identity, so they must wear such yellow robes when they enter Changling.

In the eyes of many old people in Changling, this is even a stark humiliation by Jiaodong County to the old dignitaries in Changling.

The earliest strategic significance of Jiaodong County to the entire Da Qin Dynasty was only a port that could provide abundant seafood to supplement the army’s meat. Even with the trade of fishing boats and some overseas scarce elixir, Jiaodong County accumulated huge wealth, and in the past Changling nobles In the eyes of Jiaodong County, the people in Jiaodong County are only hillbillies and fishermen, as well as the second dealers who dealt with them.

Only to this day, the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and even the entire world, have realized the power and fear of Jiaodong County.

The scary thing is that Jiaodong County’s huge wealth seems to be mostly used in the arrangement of eyes and ears.

Jiaodong County has various sources of horror.

Many secret things can be concealed from Shendujian and Jiantian Temple, but Jiaodong County cannot be concealed.

In addition, the practitioners who died for Zheng Xiu and Jiaodong County often came from outside Jiaodong County.

Especially in the “home” of Zheng Xiu, the Zheng clan who cultivated practitioners like Zheng Xiu, the outside world knows almost nothing about what kind of practitioners exist in it.

Precisely because of its remote location, it is only a rural area in the eyes of Changling people, so since the Zheng family ruled Jiaodong County, no war has been ignited in Jiaodong County.

Even Zhao Gao, the yellow-robed cultivator who followed Zheng Xiu to Changling and witnessed how Zheng Xiu went from a country girl to the mistress of the Qin Dynasty, didn’t know what was inside the Zheng family’s clan. Such people, how many people are there.

Even if Zheng Xiu mobilized countless forces in Jiaodong County when besieging Wang Jingmeng and suppressing the Bashan sword field, there were no practitioners from the Zheng family clan to officially show up or take action.

So over the years, the home of Zheng’s clan in Jiaodong County has remained mysterious.

Those walking outside are some of the outlying children of the Zheng family, and there are even very few collateral blood relatives surnamed Zheng.

However, the yellow-robed practitioner who walked to the palace today gave Huang Zhenwei a completely different feeling.

First of all, this yellow robe practitioner is too old.

This yellow robe practitioner is at least fifty or sixty years old, which is a whole generation older than the previous yellow robe messengers in Jiaodong County.

Secondly, he couldn’t see how strong the cultivation base of this yellow robe practitioner was.

The breath of this yellow-robed cultivator is perfectly hidden in the rain. Even if it is impossible to reach the eighth realm, Huang Zhenwei has a very strong intuition, an intuition that he might be killed when confronting the enemy with this yellow-robed cultivator.

For practitioners of Huang Zhenwei’s level, strong intuition means inevitable.

Therefore, this yellow robe practitioner must be the true “family” of the Zheng family.

…

This man in yellow robes, who was slightly stained with frost on the temples, was of medium build and looked more than 50 years old, entered the imperial city, then announced according to the rules, and then walked to the queen’s study.

Empress Zheng Xiu waited for his arrival at the entrance of the study.

“Uncle.”

When the yellow-robed man appeared and stood in front of her, she nodded first, greeted her, and then said blankly: “You shouldn’t come.”

The man’s appearance was very ordinary, and he did not have the aura of any big man, but he smiled slightly when he heard Zheng Xiu’s words.

His slight smile is charming.

When young, just such a smile can easily fascinate some girls.

However, the smile on Zheng Xiu at this time made him inexplicably full of a kind of majesty and powerful aura.

He smiled and asked, “Why shouldn’t I come?”

“When you come, you have revealed the foundation of Jiaodong County.” Zheng Xiu looked at him and said coldly: “It is to show weakness to others.”

“Showing weakness and poor skills?” The yellow-robed man’s smile became more intense. He even looked at Zheng Xiu with a little sympathy. He looked at her with the eyes of the real elders looking at the younger ones. You are too disappointed. I think you might be overwhelmed. Why should I come?”

Zheng Xiu glanced at him indifferently, “Disappointed?”

The yellow-robed man looked at her flatly and sighed: “In recent years, you have not paid much attention to the opinions of your home, and have even threatened your home. But the family has been more and more dependent on you before, not because of fear of your threat, but because of Jiaodong. Regarding the future of the Qin dynasty, the status of the county has become increasingly unstable… After the reform, the food and grass of the Qin dynasty, and even meat, are not so in short supply. My Jiaodong county was originally the most indispensable meat supplier of the Qin dynasty. If we disappear, the army will become smaller and smaller for us. So in a sense, our foundation is disappearing, and you are the future of our Jiaodong County.”

Speaking of this, the yellow-robed man smiled again, only with sincere emotion and sincerity in his smile, “Before you were allowed to come at home, not because you were afraid of any external causes, but because you are perfect. To be fair, You have been the most perfect genius in Jiaodong County for hundreds of years. All your previous performances have been perfect, but these two years are different, you have caused more and more changes, and there are too many people dead around you. But still It’s not what the family is really worried about. What’s really worried about at home is your spring expedition… You bet too much, and it is easy to bet the entire Jiaodong County in.”

Zheng Xiu’s face is still devoid of emotion, and her fair skin is blooming with beautiful porcelain light: “So there is no confidence in me at home?”

The man in the yellow robe still did not answer her question directly, but shook his head and said: “It is not a question of confidence, but the family feels that you should understand that you and the family are always one. You should understand that it should be you and the family. Walk towards the future of the Great Qin Dynasty together, not towards the future for you, and the family becomes your pawn.”

Zheng Xiu glanced at him. Before he could speak, the yellow-robed man stopped looking at her. He turned around, looked at the sky above Changling streets and alleys in the distance, and said softly: “I remember Lihou’s son was called Li Xixing, a dog was drowned when he was a child…Don’t forget, you were drowned when you were a child.”

Zheng Xiu raised his head slightly, frowning his perfect brow.

Suddenly she laughed very rarely, very coldly.

“Since I was a child, anything I really love will be deprived of my family. Dogs I love are killed. My playmates who study and practice together are arranged as assassins trained to kill and die in my hands… Everything is possible. My spiritual practice is distracted, and the things that may cause me to worry will be removed by the family.”

She slowly said: “Without mind, nothing that can affect me, there is no weakness, so even Wang Jingmeng will die in my hands. The family asked you to come and say these things to me, including yourself, but Have you really thought about it?”

“Before killing him, you might have no weakness, but now it is different. Your position and your ambition are your greatest weakness. Unless you are willing to live under Yuan Wu.”

The man in the yellow robe looked at her with emotion and shook his head, “It’s a pity that I know you too well, so unless you regain confidence in you at home, I will act on behalf of the family during the next period of time.”

Zheng Xiu was silent for a moment, then she looked at the back of the yellow-robed man and asked: “In this case, you should at least tell me what you are going to do next.”

“kill.”

The yellow-robed man replied very simply, his teeth showing white with a smile.

“Shen Xuan, Pan Ruoye.”

He turned his head slightly, glanced at Zheng Xiu, and then said, “I have another person to do it. I haven’t figured it out yet.”
