Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 286

[Chapter 286: Emperor Xia’s Happy Event]

Above the vast sea.

The majestic dark clouds, like a huge funnel, overturned on the sea surface. Tornadoes raged under the clouds, raising huge waves dozens of feet high. In the dark clouds, lightning snakes danced wildly, which was frightening.

This was a storm at sea. Even huge merchant ships would choose to bypass it when facing such sea areas, otherwise they might end up with the ship destroyed and people killed.

At this time, in the center of the storm, four figures were suspended in the air.

It was raining heavily under the dark clouds, but the rain changed its direction when it was a few feet away from them and fell into the turbulent sea.

Lin Xiu’s mind moved, and a thick thunder penetrated his body, giving him a feeling that all the pores in his body were relaxed. Beside him, Caiyi, Ning’er, and Qin Wan were also suspended in the air.

Some small thunders were drawn out from the dark clouds and immersed in their bodies.

After three days of hard work, Lin Xiu finally succeeded in giving them the power of thunder.

Caiyi’s talent is not very good. It takes too long for her to break through to the upper realm of the Xuan level. Lin Xiu plans to use this method to improve her cultivation within two months.

And Ning’er and Qin Wan, using this method of cultivation, may have better results than Lingyin in the polar regions.

In Lin Xiu’s arms, there is also a little guy with a white body. Thunder flashes on his body, and a comfortable expression appears on his little face. He arches comfortably into the depths of Lin Xiu’s arms.

Since discovering that the little guy has awakened the power of thunder, Lin Xiu has helped it practice whenever he has time. Its strength is no longer the same as before. The intensity of thunder released has reached the Xuan level.

It may be the first little tiger in history to practice in a sea thunderstorm.

And the intensity of thunder it can withstand is stronger than when Lin Xiu was in the upper realm of the Xuan level. The little guy’s body seems to be more adaptable to the power of thunder than humans.

It was born for this.

After this thunderstorm subsided, the one with the fastest growth in strength was not Lin Xiu or Caiyi, but this little guy.

Its fur became more translucent and was still flashing with lightning. This was because it could not fully control the huge thunder power in its body and needed some time to digest it.

At the same time, Ning’er and Caiyi were almost at their limit.

The huge thunder power was accumulating in their bodies. Their bodies were far inferior to Lin Xiu’s. The amount of thunder they could absorb each time was limited, but even so, it was much faster than their daily practice.

Lin Xiu did not go back to Jiangnan Prefecture with them. He just found a small county town by the sea and rested temporarily, waiting for them to completely refine the power in their bodies and transform the thunder power into Yuanli, and then go to the sea to look for opportunities.

This was a county town called Fu County. Daxia’s administrative system was a prefecture-county system. There were hundreds of counties under the jurisdiction of the 21 prefectures. Fu County was close to the sea and was a large county under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Prefecture.

Caiyi and the others were practicing in the room, and even the little guy was digesting the power in his body. Lin Xiu was alone and had nothing to do, so he wandered around the streets of Fu County.

Almost every place has its own unique food. Lin Xiu likes to appreciate the local customs and taste the local food. After walking around, he carried a few bags of cakes in his hand and planned to take them back for them to taste.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front. The people who were walking on the road hid to both sides. One person even fell from the bridge into the river because he dodged too much.

Lin Xiu didn’t know what happened. He was still standing in the middle of the road. He was dragged to the side of the road by a man. The man said to him in a deep voice: “You are from another place. Dare to block his way. Be careful to get a beating in vain…”

Under Lin Xiu’s gaze, a young man came from the bridge.

On his left and right sides, there was a woman in each of his arms. The expression on the woman’s face was extremely flattering. She talked and laughed with him. Behind the young man, there were several guards, which reminded Lin Xiu of the dandy in the capital.

Since Zhang Jing’s death, it has been a long time since the dandy in the capital dared to be so arrogant.

But this is the most remote county in Daxia. No matter how strong the wind from the capital is, it can’t blow here. To some extent, the dandies in these small places live more freely than the children of the big families in the capital. In

places like the capital, there are big figures one after another, and there are always people who can’t afford to offend. But in this small place, a county magistrate can do whatever he wants, and his power is even greater than that of the emperor.

Emperor Xia still has to be wary of the Zhang and Song families, but the officials in this place are like local emperors, and almost no one can restrain them.

Lin Xiu and A Ke have killed many evil people these days. The crimes committed by those people are really innumerable. They are willing to die. Lin Xiu thinks it’s a bargain for them to be killed by a thunderbolt. After

seeing so many of these people, looking at these dandies, I feel that some of them are very arrogant, but arrogance is not illegal. You can’t kill them all. If that’s the case, he won’t have to do anything else in his life.

At least this dude didn’t do anything bad in the street, and the two women seemed willing, so Lin Xiu didn’t plan to care about him.

Another reason is that Emperor Xia, oh no, the respected leader of the alliance, gave him a list that didn’t include people from Fu County. Although he was doing assassination work, he was also doing it according to the law. The

assassination list was given by Emperor Xia, and it was the emperor who sentenced them to death in accordance with the laws of Daxia. Lin Xiu and A Ke acted on the orders of the emperor, and there was nothing to criticize in public and private.

However, although there were no people on the list in Fu County, there were in other counties in Jiangnan. This time, they would stay in Jiangnan for a long time, so they could be dealt with by the way, so as not to have to do it again in the future.

Lin Xiu stood on the side of the street, and the young man looked at him twice more when he passed by with his two female companions.

It was really that this man was too handsome. Men in Jiangnan were more or less soft, but this man had sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a tall body. Standing there, a masculine aura came to his face.

This made him, who was also a man, look a little jealous.

This guy actually looks better than me.

Coincidentally, the handsome young man also looked over.

The young man looked at him coldly and said, “What are you looking at!”

The handsome young man didn’t seem to expect this scene. After a moment of surprise, his expression returned to calm. He looked at him with a very strange, half-smiled expression and said lightly, “What’s wrong with you?”

Seeing this scene, the people around Lin Xiu were startled and kept their distance from him. Soon, he was the only one left within three feet of him.

At the same time, they also looked at him with sympathy.

This person must be a foreigner.

Otherwise, who dares to mess with the brother-in-law of the county magistrate in Fu County?

When he went out and walked on the road, the people saw him and had to crowd on the side of the road to make way for him. Anyone who blocked his way would be beaten.

If he endured it and kept silent, it would be fine. If he dared to talk back or fight back, he might have to stay in jail for a few days.

Who made him the brother-in-law of the county magistrate?

And the county magistrate, it is said that he has a relationship with a wealthy family in the capital. In Fu County, he can be said to be all-powerful. No one can disobey his orders, and other officials have to act according to his face.

Sure enough, this poor outsider just said a word, and the brother-in-law of the county magistrate turned around and looked at the four guards and said, “Throw him into the river for me.”

The four guards were also accustomed to this. Two of them walked up and stretched out their hands to the handsome young man.

There were only two sounds of “plop” and “plop”. Before people could see what happened, the two guards were thrown into the river.

The other two guards were stunned for a moment, then they also rushed forward, but they only felt a flash before their eyes, and after the world spun, they also appeared in the river.

The young man was stunned in place, and before he could react, he was grabbed by the chest and thrown into the river upside down.

The two women were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately ran out of the crowd. The

young man who drank a few sips of water in the river was protected by four guards. He wanted to climb up, but was kicked down by Lin Xiu one by one.

The young man floated on the water, looked at Lin Xiu viciously, and cursed.

“You’re dead!”

“You bastard, do you know who I am?”

“Don’t run if you can!”

“You’ll spend your next life in jail!”

…

Lin Xiu glanced at him indifferently and simply sat down at a tea stall on the roadside. A passerby couldn’t help but persuade him, “Young Master, run quickly. Someone from the government office will come and you won’t be able to run away…”

Lin Xiu asked, “It was obviously his people who started it just now. Is self-defense also a crime?”

Another passerby said, “That’s true, but he is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is from a wealthy family in Beijing. Last year, someone just spit at his feet and was arrested and thrown into the county jail. He has not been released yet. If you throw him into the river, he will lock you up for ten or eight years…”

Lin Xiu asked, “Is this person so lawless?”

The passerby said, “More than that, he is here, no one dares to provoke him, and those who provoke him will definitely have a bad end. Run quickly…”

Lin Xiu didn’t run, but ordered a pot of tea and sat here to taste the tea.

He realized a problem.

If he wants to help A Ke fulfill her dream, it is not enough to rely on the identity of the leader of the Tiandao League. The only thing

the Tiandao League can do is assassination. Those who are extremely evil can be killed, but there are more people like this in this world who can’t bear to see it go away.

He figured it out a long time ago that what Daxia needs is a thorough reform from top to bottom and from inside to outside to break the situation where the powerful and wealthy control the government.

In fact, Emperor Xia is already doing this, but in a subtle way. The Tiandao League is responsible for killing those corrupt officials who are extremely evil, and he quietly puts his own people in place.

Jiangnan is the richest place in Daxia, and the power of the powerful and wealthy is complicated. I am afraid that every official is a wing they have cultivated, and they are constantly transfusing blood for them. Emperor Xia should also be very troubled.

This time he will stay in Jiangnan for more than two months, and he has plenty of time to do something.

The leader of the Tiandao League can’t do these things, but the Secretary of the Secret Investigation Department can.

For the sake of the Imperial Concubine, I will give Emperor Xia another great gift. When the time comes, when we return to Kyoto, I will ask him for a colorful boat. Will he have the nerve to refuse?

Kyoto.

In the Imperial Garden, Emperor Xia was strolling hand in hand with the Empress and Concubine Xian, when they suddenly heard a pleasant bird call.

The Empress smiled and said, “Your Majesty, it’s the magpie calling. There will be a happy event in the near future…”

“Happy event?”

Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows and asked her in a low voice, “Did the Empress agree to what I said last time?”

The Empress seemed to remember something and her face turned red. She and Concubine Xian had been fighting for twenty years, and neither of them could stand the other. How could it be possible for them to sleep together…

But she hesitated for a long time, and still whispered, “As long as Concubine Xian agrees, I will agree…”

If she did not satisfy His Majesty, she was worried that he would ignore her for a few months again.

Emperor Xia whispered a few words to Concubine Xian, who was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said, “Your Majesty, this, this is too absurd, how can this be possible…”

Concubines had strict palace rules for such matters. Only one could sleep with the queen at a time. What’s more, the queen was her biggest enemy. How could she be with the queen…

Emperor Xia said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. If Concubine Xian disagrees, there are still Concubine Wang and others…”

Hearing this, Concubine Xian hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and said, “Then, just once…”

Emperor Xia smiled and said, “Okay, just once…”
