Chapter 179 Tremble, Jiangnan Road (8000)

After this voice came from outside the hall, all the officials present shuddered, especially the few who had just spoken, who all shut their mouths and looked outside the hall.

Xu Bai felt that this voice was very familiar, and cast his eyes over it. Soon, a sturdy figure walked in from outside.

The man who came in was wearing armor, and his whole body was full of murderous aura in the army, especially his eyes, which were about to spit fire, and he was obviously in a state of extreme anger.

"I heard that you were making things difficult for Xu Bai, and I just came to see it, but I didn't expect it to be true. What's wrong, you are still not convinced?"

In the palace, especially the place where important matters of the court are discussed, there is only one person in the territory of the Great Chu who can call him "I" all the time.

——Shengyou Wang.

Chen Wang, who spoke first, silently retreated and wanted to hide in the crowd, but before he could take a step back, Shengyou Wang took two steps forward, grabbed Chen Wang's collar directly, and lifted him out of the crowd.

"Back then, when I rescued you from the prison of Dafeng Kingdom, you were so grateful to me that you wanted to lick my shoes. Why are you rebelling against me now?"

"What's your name? I should call you King Chen now, right?"

King Shengyou stared at King Chen with his eyes wide open, and a fierce aura emerged from him.

"No... I dare not, Your Majesty." King Chen's face turned extremely pale.

The person in front of him dared to hit someone in the hall. Even the King of Chu would not say anything. He was afraid that he would be slapped twice if he was not careful, which would not be worth it.

"Then you say, is it enough?" King Shengyou said in a muffled voice.

"Enough, enough, enough!" King Chen nodded hurriedly, indicating that it was absolutely enough.

King Shengyou looked at other people again, meaning whether it was enough.

All the people who were swept by his eyes shut their mouths. Although they did not speak, they obviously agreed.

The King of Chu sat on the dragon throne, smiling at the scene in front of him, turned his head and winked at Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, we must not be rude in the hall. We must abide by the rules."

Then King Shengyou put King Chen down, clapped his hands, and said, "Old Wei, I will give you face. Although you are a sinister and cunning person, you are not a bad person."

The corners of Eunuch Wei's mouth twitched, but he still endured it.

"Brother, this reward is over, right?" King Shengyou looked at the King of Chu again.

The King of Chu nodded and was about to say a few more words. Unexpectedly, he saw King Shengyou hook Xu Bai's neck and walked out of the hall.

"Hey, Xu Bai and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We have to find a place to drink a few cups when we meet suddenly. Brother, don't worry about me." King Shengyou hooked Xu Bai and walked away directly.

The latter turned around and spread his hands helplessly, meaning that he could not be blamed for this, and followed Shengyou Wang naturally.

After Shengyou Wang left, the people in the hall dared to discuss it.

"Nonsense! The prince is not in the border, but came to the capital, it's just nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, you are the prince's brother, this matter must be taken care of."

"That's right, Your Majesty, after so many years, the prince's temper has not changed, we can't let him be so willful!"

The officials began to express their opinions at this time.

The King of Chu just smiled, looked at Prime Minister Wen who had been silent, and said with a smile: "My dear, you always say a few words to your brother when he goes to court. Why don't you say a word today?"

Prime Minister Wen bowed calmly and said: "No mistake, no words."

"Oh?" The King of Chu became interested and asked: "Why?"

Prime Minister Wen said slowly: "Xu Bai is capable of taking on this important task. There is no question of whether he is capable or not. If the prince does not come to make trouble, I will also say a few words for him. Otherwise, let the opponents try to see if they can walk through my chapter of noble spirit like Xu Bai."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent, especially the few who spoke at the beginning, all shut up.

So Xu Bai also walked through the chapter of noble spirit?

Forget it, forget it, there is no fun. Who doesn't have some little thoughts these days? Who can walk through the chapter of noble spirit perfectly?

It can only be said that the little thoughts of the people present are just minor problems and will not violate the laws of the Great Chu State, but if others see it in public, it will be really embarrassing.

"I think that it is the blessing of the Great Chu State to be like you, loving each other and governing the Great Chu together." The King of Chu said loudly.

Prime Minister Wen quickly refuted: "No, I still can't stand Xu Bai, but no matter how much I can't stand it, I am considering the overall situation."

The King of Chu: "..."

Today's court session is an eye-opener, especially today's events, which are enough to move the world.

The weight of these three words, especially the king of a different surname, is too heavy.

But what will happen next can only be verified by time.

Xu Bai didn't know how it would develop later, he knew that his matter was a done deal.

At this moment, Xu Bai was pulled by King Shengyou, and they kept going all the way. They found a luxurious room, and King Shengyou kicked the door open.

The room was very large, and the decoration inside was very unique. It was often cleaned and spotless.

"This is my residence. As long as I return to Beijing, this is my place. Come, Xu Bai, I have something to ask you." King Shengyou first asked the maids at the door to prepare wine and food, and then pulled Xu Bai to sit down and asked.

"What do you think of this reward?"

Xu Bai smiled and said, "My Lord, from what you said, if I think it's not good enough, there will be another reward?"

King Shengyou nodded and said proudly, "Of course!"

"If you don't want to, follow me to the army, and I will give you a position second only to me."

"Even, I can marry Chu Yu to you, and you will be my son-in-law."

Xu Bai was full of black lines, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I still prefer to be a Xu Wang."

Originally, the first half of the sentence sounded good, but when it came to the second half, Xu Bai was completely confused. Marrying Chu Yu to him, isn't this a joke?

"You don't like Chu Yu?" King Shengyou said strangely, "No, that girl admires you very much. If you marry her, in addition to me, you will also have the Gu Yue Sword Sect to support you. It's much better than being a king."

Xu Bai still waved his hands to indicate that it was not possible.

Let's not talk about marrying Chu Yu. Now Xu Bai's plan is of course to be a Xu Wang, which is much better. After all, he can still make progress within the scope of his authority, and he is quite free. Isn't this wonderful?

Thinking of this, Xu Bai quickly changed the subject.

"Prince, you didn't come to see me alone this time, did you?"

At this time, the maids were holding all kinds of fine wine and delicacies and had already placed the dishes on the table.

After a slight bow, they left directly.

The one in front of them is the prince who is second to none, and the other is the new Xu Wang. When they talk about things, these maids dare not listen. If they hear something they shouldn't hear, it will bring disaster to themselves.

"Hey, you have a quick brain. In addition to seeing you, I came here mainly to ask for military expenses." Shengyou Wang poured the wine and said, "After drinking with you, I will go to my niece to ask for money."

Who is the niece? Naturally, it is the ninth princess who controls the finances.

"Is the situation at the border tight?" Xu Bai clinked glasses with King Shengyou and asked.

"That's not the case." King Shengyou shook his head and drank the wine in his hand.

"Daiyue and the barbarians suffered heavy losses back then, and we also suffered heavy losses, so we have been recuperating during this period."

"But they have a good foundation, and we have a weak foundation. Recently, there have been constant frictions. You hit me, and I hit you. Anyway, I guess that the peaceful and prosperous times will not last long."

Hearing this, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

The speaker has intentions, and the listener also has intentions. King Shengyou seemed to say this casually, but Xu Bai heard another meaning in his ears.

It seems that Daiyue and the barbarians are ready for war.

He remembered what he said to the emperor a few days ago, the inevitable connection between the Gui City and the unification of the world, and he thought that the other party might have started planning.

But judging from what King Shengyou meant, it seems that he had expected this step a long time ago.

"That's what I should worry about. I'm not panicking, so don't panic either." King Shengyou took a bite of food and said, "If this war breaks out, it won't stop for decades. The other side knows it, so there's no need to be sure, so it won't start for the time being."

Xu Bai smiled, put down his wine glass, and also picked up chopsticks to eat a bite of food.

These things are really not what he's worried about, it's better to work harder on the progress bar.

If the world is in chaos, the emperor and King Shengyou will take care of it first, and then it will be the turn of others.

The two chatted about some details, and Xu Bai learned that Chu Yu was actually doing well there.

Don't look at this girl's innocent appearance, but she has been with Xu Bai for so long, and she has learned a lot of things, and she actually applied them flexibly.

Take the most recent conflict as an example. Chu Yu, this girl, used a hundred people to trap thousands of people in the Great Yue Kingdom.

Of course, King Shengyou didn't say the specific details, but from King Shengyou's words, it can be heard that he is more and more satisfied with his daughter.

The two chatted for a while, and King Shengyou asked Xu Bai about his plans.

"Xu Bai, what are your plans next?"

Xu Bai put down his wine glass and turned it gently: "I do have some plans. After this matter is over, I will go to the Vajra Temple and Jiangnan Road."

When he entered the capital before, Liu Xu had invited him, and Wuhua had also invited him many times. He had to go to these two places.

Face is given to each other. If the other party gives him face, he must give it back, otherwise he would be an ignorant person.

Moreover, these two places are also managed by the corresponding kings of different surnames, and they can also get a lot of benefits by the way.

"Hmm..." King Shengyou pondered, "I know that you have had a hard time along the way. After you came here, you may not have been informed. The Vajra Temple and Qingyun Academy have praised you to the sky and clearly stated that they are on your side. I really have to go on this trip. After all, you also need to have these social skills."

"What are your plans after visiting these two places?"

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Now that I am in this position, I will naturally inspect the world and look around the palaces in various places."

Inspect the world (×)

Progress bar everywhere (√)

Hearing this, King Shengyou tapped the table lightly with his fingers and pondered, "In this case, why not find a time, wait until you have finished visiting those two places, and then wait until you have inspected all the places, and come to my border?"

"Oh?" Xu Bai became interested: "Does the prince have something important?"

King Shengyou shook his head, indicating that there was nothing important.

He stood up, walked slowly, and finally turned around and looked directly at Xu Bai.

"Xu Bai, let's be frank. I have admired you for a long time, but this time, my brother gave me a lot, better than I did. I hope you have a better future."

"But your current status is completely different. You are a king of a different surname, the King of Xu. I guess no one in the Great Chu Kingdom dares to offend you anymore."

"You should have a longer-term vision."

"For example... outside the Great Chu Kingdom."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. How could he not understand what King Shengyou meant?

Now he has the support of the King of Chu, which can be described in one sentence.

That is walking sideways.

At least in the Great Chu Kingdom, let alone walking sideways, no one would care if he took off his clothes and walked.

King Shengyou meant that his sights should be on the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians.

"My lord, but my duty is to govern the vassal kings in the territory." Xu Bai smiled.

"No one would refuse to be famous all over the world, not just in the Great Chu Kingdom. Even the martial arts world of the Great Chu Kingdom is only half of the martial arts world?" King Shengyou said slowly.

"Do you know that the Great Yue, the Great Chu, and the barbarians, these three combined into one, is a real world."

Xu Bai listened to King Shengyou's endless talk, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely go to meet him."

"Hahaha, this is the Xu Bai I know." King Shengyou laughed.

In fact, Xu Bai still had something to say, that is, meeting him for a while is secondary, the main thing is to get more progress.

The two chatted for a while, and finally, King Shengyou had official business to attend to, so he left directly. Xu Bai was not convenient to stay here for a long time, so he also left the room.

After leaving, Xu Bai went directly to the royal treasury.

In the royal treasury, Ye Zi was still learning, and she was getting closer and closer to the realm of the second grade.

However, Ye Zi had only been studying for a short time, and it was still early for the agreed deadline. Xu Bai estimated that he would leave soon, so he came to see him.

"Young Master." Ye Zi bowed slightly when he saw Xu Bai coming.

Xu Bai smiled and raised his hand to touch Ye Zi's head.

Beside him, the old woman teased, "Lord Xu, how come you have time to come here?"

Although the old woman was imprisoned in this place, she was still a master, so she naturally knew these things.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "Senior, please don't make fun of me. I came here to tell Ye Zi about these things, because I may leave soon."

Ye Zi was stunned, and then fell into silence.

She had already expected that after all, this huge capital city could not control the heart of the young master.

It was not this time that she could not accompany the young master.

Just like the old woman said, even if Xu Bai didn't care about these things, if she didn't make progress, sooner or later she would be erased by time.

If you want to really follow Xu Bai, you must not only not be a burden, but also make yourself a truly useful person.

"Okay." The old woman saw that Ye Zi didn't say anything, but she was such a shrewd person that she could see the gloom in Ye Zi's eyes at a glance, and waved her hand and said, "One day off, give you two a day, but be moderate."

Ye Zi raised her head with a surprised expression on her face.

Xu Bai was stunned.

He didn't really want Ye Zi to accompany her for a day, but just came here to talk about these things, and asked the old woman to take care of Ye Zi. He didn't expect the old woman to be so open-minded.

"Thank you, senior." Xu Bai bowed.

The old woman waved her sleeves impatiently, meaning that you should leave quickly and don't let me change my mind.

Next, Ye Zi took Xu Bai's hand and went straight out of the royal treasury.

Xu Bai had a long day.

He didn't get up from the bed until noon the next day.

All night, all night long, Xu Bai felt like a tireless cow, working over and over again.

"Sir." Beside him, Ye Zi was already dressed and carefully helped Xu Bai put on his clothes.

While getting dressed, he kept mumbling trivial things, most of which were about being careful about this and paying attention to that.

Yin Xianqu had been given to the Ye family by Ye Zi, which was considered to be a deal with the Ye family.

The two of them ate something, and Xu Bai sent Ye Zi to the royal treasury.

After repeatedly telling Ye Zi to study hard, Xu Bai left the royal treasury under Ye Zi's resentful eyes and went to the imperial study.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Xu Bai knocked on the door.

There was no sound from inside the door.

He was still wondering why the emperor was not in the imperial study at this time?

Soon, Eunuch Wei came over from the side.

"Shh, keep your voice down, His Majesty is inside, but he won't open the door." Eunuch Wei quietly led Xu Bai out of the courtyard of the imperial study.

Xu Bai's face was full of doubts: "What's wrong with His Majesty? Are you in a bad mood?"

"More than that." Eunuch Wei smiled bitterly: "The prince suddenly found here yesterday, and the two of them quarreled in the room again. It was about the eldest prince, but we are used to it. When the prince came out, his face was still bruised, and it is estimated that His Majesty is about the same.

Although it is easy to recover at their level, there are also ways to prevent the other party from recovering, so..."

Good guy.

Xu Bai finally heard it clearly. It turned out that he was injured on his face, so it was inconvenient to see people.

But... why did the two quarrel about the eldest prince?

Xu Bai thought, recalling what he heard when he went to court before, it seemed that the eldest prince was not crowned as king at that time.

Thinking of this, he asked his doubts.

Eunuch Wei sighed: "The eldest prince has been suitable for the military formation since he was born, and is also the most suitable for the prince's profession, so His Majesty does not intend to let him come back."

"You also know that half of the royal family died on the battlefield. The other half are suitable for the military formation and were arranged by His Majesty."

"The prince thinks that the military formation is too dangerous, but His Majesty thinks that other people's children can join the army. Other people's parents trust the Great Chu State and let their children go to the army. Why can't his children?"

"So, they fought."

Xu Bai fell silent.

After a while, he said a word.

"Your Majesty...really..."

Halfway through, he felt that he couldn't say anything.

Eunuch Wei said: "So, this is why we follow Your Majesty wholeheartedly."

"I'm leaving." Xu Bai didn't want to say more on this issue and changed the subject.

Eunuch Wei had already known it and handed Xu Bai a waist badge.

This waist badge was made with great craftsmanship, with unknown metals mixed in the jade, and a huge character "Xu" on it.

Xu Bai took it and knew that it was a token indicating his identity as Prince Xu. There was no other one besides it.

"Prince Xu." Eunuch Wei suddenly bowed: "This journey is long, so I won't see you off, but I have been getting along very well with Prince Xu recently, and I have a few words to say to Prince Xu."

Xu Bai quickly held Eunuch Wei's arm and said: "Eunuch Wei, please don't embarrass the younger generation."

Eunuch Wei insisted: "This is the rule."

He is the most rule-abiding person, so rule-abiding that even the emperor feels inferior to him.

"Please speak, Eunuch Wei." Xu Bai sighed.

To be honest, during this time in the palace, he and Eunuch Wei did get along very well.

Of course, he also knew Eunuch Wei's character, especially his rule-abiding character.

Eunuch Wei said solemnly: "First, from now on, Prince Xu will call himself the prince, because this represents the face of the Great Chu Kingdom."

Xu Bai nodded and said, "That's natural."

"Second." Eunuch Wei continued: "The Great Chu Kingdom is only a part of the world. Prince, be careful of the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians."

Xu Bai nodded again.

Next, there was nothing else.

Although Eunuch Wei said that he would not send Xu Bai far away, he finally sent Xu Bai to the gate of the palace before turning around and leaving.

Xu Bai looked at the respectful soldiers guarding the city next to him, with the Xu token hanging on his waist, laughed loudly, and walked away slowly.

...

A strong wind blew in the rivers and lakes.

This wind brought the news and spread throughout the rivers and lakes.

First, Xu Bai entered the capital.

No one in the entire martial arts world thought that Xu Bai would actually walk to the capital alive, especially the last battle, which was finally reported. The fact that Xu Bai fought thousands of people alone was like a storm, sweeping the entire martial arts world.

For a time, the reputation of the blood-slaughtering swordsman gradually spread in the martial arts world, and more and more people heard about it.

The younger generation smiled bitterly and said nothing. The original situation of the younger generation competing for the top spot had been suppressed by Xu Bai alone. As for the older generation’s views on Xu Bai, they were different.

Various ideas were brewing, and it was not known whether they were good or bad.

The second thing was the king of a different surname.

If the former was just a rumor in the martial arts world, the second piece of news was enough to shake the whole world, especially the Great Viet and the barbarians.

The Great Chu Kingdom actually had such a hand, so what was the purpose?

The Great Viet and the barbarians began to speculate.

Of course, this matter could not be guessed in a short time.

The third thing was still related to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai was crowned king, named Xu Wang, and could even monitor the vassal kings of the world.

This news was more shocking than the first two combined.

Many people in the martial arts world could not help but sigh. In addition to envy, they also had a kind of yearning.

The yearning and worship of Xu Bai took root in the hearts of many people in the martial arts world.

Xu Bai was born in a humble family and was just a bodyguard, but now he is the Prince Xu. Even those biographies dare not write like this.

Therefore, many people in the martial arts world are proud of this.

Look, don’t you look down on the people in the martial arts world? Look at the Prince Xu, who came out of our martial arts world.

Words like these were constantly circulated everywhere.

When the Great Viet Kingdom and the barbarians heard the news, they were even more shocked and began to think about how to deal with it.

As the now famous Prince Xu Bai, he did not know that he had caused a storm in the martial arts world. He was sitting in a teahouse, looking at the storyteller in front of him with an embarrassed look.

In front of the storyteller, many people from the martial arts world had gathered.

At this moment, the storyteller was explaining in a vivid and vivid way. If he was given a bowl of tea, he could probably talk for a whole day. Xu Bai was very happy to listen to it, but when he heard the second half, he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Pa!"

The storyteller slapped the table in his hand on the table and raised his voice, like a rooster with a shrill voice.

This action instantly attracted the attention of many people from the martial arts world, and their eyes were fixed on the storyteller.

"Today we will not talk about the love affairs of the young men and women in the martial arts world, nor the grudges and hatreds in the martial arts world, but a person in the martial arts world."

"If you come here often, you will know who I am talking about. If you don't come here often, it doesn't matter. You will know it if you listen."

"It is said that this person has a black knife on his waist and a puppet beside him. He is handsome and powerful. He is also a master of the Transcendent Realm."

"Yes, I believe you all know that we are talking about the blood-slaughtering knife guest Xu Bai."

"This person is already the king of a different surname today. He once fought thousands of martial arts masters alone. It is said that the mountain was dyed red with blood. It was really tragic..."

...

The storyteller was talking vividly there. Xu Bai held a teacup in one hand and put the other hand aside, shaking slightly.

This feeling is very strange. He came here to listen to the storytelling, but he didn't expect that he would become a person in the book while listening.

In short, it is quite wonderful.

Xu Bai picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He was just passing by, smelled the tea here, and came to take a sip, but he didn't expect to hear such exciting news.

Looking at the excitement in front, Xu Bai decided to drink this cup before leaving.

Thinking of this, an unusual sound suddenly came from the storyteller in front.

"Ah!!!"

A scream came out, and even Xu Bai was attracted to it. Looking in the direction of the scream, he found that it was the table not far to his right.

He thought there must be a conflict, but he didn't expect that everything was normal there. At the table, a female Jianghu person was looking at him with starry eyes.

"Oops!"

Xu Bai's heart was shocked.

This was not a conflict, but his identity was seen by others.

"Go!"

Taking advantage of the fact that no one reacted at this moment, Xu Bai flashed and performed the Nine Turns of Xingpo, and disappeared completely.

The first-grade puppet flip speed was also very fast, and it soon disappeared from this teahouse.

At this time, the female Jianghu person finally came back from screaming, her eyes shining.

"It's Prince Xu! Ahhhh!!!"

Instantly, the teahouse was boiling, and all kinds of screams rang out.

...

And Xu Bai didn't know what happened next.

At this time, he had already arrived at Jiangnan Road.

Jiangnan Road belongs to Dengyunzhou, but because of Qingyun Academy, it is even more famous and prosperous.

Along the way, he passed by many palaces, and he also got a lot of things, especially the progress bar.

He thought it would take a few more words, but he didn't expect that these people who could be named as vassal kings were also some smart people. He just gave a few pointers and he could get a lot.

He had also been to the palace of Dengyunzhou, and along the way, the progress bar was also cleaned up by him.

The latest panel appeared, and looking at the light blue smoke in front of him, Xu Bai's mouth corners slightly raised.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Transcendent Second-grade Sanren. ]

[General Principles of Swordless Sword (Transcendent 2nd level): Full level. 】

……

During this period of time, the harvest is still quite fruitful.

It must be said that after reaching the Transcendent Realm, it is indeed difficult to improve strength. Even if he has a golden finger, the improvement is not as fast as before.

Fortunately, the progress bar of the golden finger has been upgraded, and the speed is powerful. He has reached the second level of the Transcendent Realm.

The General Principles of the Swordless Sword and the Ten Thousand Aspects Heavenly Art have reached the second level of the Transcendent Realm, which is more in line with the Heavenly Change.

After the Swordless Sword is used, the chaos and despair are even worse.

And the Ten Thousand Aspects Heavenly Art has more things to accommodate.

It's just that Xu Bai doesn't have the corresponding means to display it.

But there are also benefits. The more it accommodates, the more chaos it will cause, which will make his Heavenly Change stronger and stronger.

What makes Xu Bai most satisfied is that this time, the stone in his heart has finally been removed.

The True Solution of Hundred Poisons has become the Poison Principle, which has directly reached the ninth level, so that he is no longer afraid of poison techniques. At least the poisons below the Transcendent Realm have no effect on him.

After admiring the panel for a while, Xu Bai stopped when the light blue smoke disappeared.

At this time, he was flying in the air, looking at Jiangnan Road not far away, slowly landing on the ground, and then walking towards that place.

After all, there were many ordinary people there. If they saw him flying in the air, it would probably cause a sensation, so Xu Bai chose to walk there.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and soon, Xu Bai arrived at the gate of Jiangnan Road.

Just when he was about to step into the city gate, he didn't expect that something unusual happened at the city gate.
