Chapter 33 The Origin of Mo Yuzhu
When it comes to King Jing Hong of the Chu Kingdom, even Jiang Qingyu has to boast that he is a wise king even though Jiang Qingyu is so harsh.

He has been in power for 27 years, and he has been focusing on government affairs all the time. He is able to recognize people and dare to employ them.

Later, he used the policy of gentleness to win over a group of hermit families, and drove away the wolves, and suppressed the arrogant sect forces, allowing the imperial power to transcend all forces.

Even after Jiang Qiushui led his troops to conquer Youzhou, he risked being criticized by all the officials in the world, and he was appointed as the second king of a different surname with real power in the history of Great Chu, and he governed the three states in the north!
Such courage can be called an emperor through the ages!
Now the treasury of Chu State is full, talents are coming out in large numbers, and the territory has changed from the eight states of the previous emperor to nine states. It can be said that Emperor Jinghong played an important role in it.

There were even more than one veteran minister who praised Jing Hong in public that Jing Hong was the best emperor since the founding emperor!
He doesn't even touch the words of wine and sex, and lives in the imperial study for more than 300 days a year. Up to now, there is only the empress in the harem, and there are only two heirs under his knees, the prince Jingyuan and the princess Jingxi. They are all righteous women.

Jiang Qingyu remembered that ten years ago, an old minister who had returned home asked someone to bring a memorandum to the capital, which actually stated that he wanted Jing Hong to accept more concubines and have more children, and not to focus too much on political affairs. Housework was left out.

But Jinghong commented on the memorial:
"There are [-]-[-] men and women in the world. Only when one husband and one wife are married, the people of Chu will have a complete family. I will lead by example."

When Jiang Qingyu heard this sentence for the first time, her impression of Jing Hong changed a little.

But today, listening to the words of the great eunuch Xu Xiaosi before his death...

It seems that things are not that simple.

"Jing Hong likes men, it's absurd and... seems a bit reasonable?"

For some reason, Jiang Qingyu chose to believe Xu Xiaosi's dying words.

At the same time, he looked at Xu Xiaosi's white jade-like skin, and paused a few more times at certain parts, his eyes couldn't help showing suspicion and sympathy:

"Shouldn't it be..."

"Oh, he is also a poor man."

Serving the emperor for decades is not easy!

But it’s pitiful, and some necessary processes are still indispensable.

Jiang Qingyu squatted down and began to clean the battlefield.

He first found the box containing the jade hairpin and black jade beads from Xu Xiaosi's corpse, picked them up carefully, then searched the corpse again, and found several hidden weapons known to the world.

Other than that, nothing else.

"Girl Awakening Zhe guessed right, the old eunuch has hidden at least sixteen kinds of hidden weapons."

"In addition to the thirteen known types, including the 'White Snake', the Thunder Bead that was detonated just now, the Jade Hairpin, and the Mo Yuzhu, there are a total of seventeen kinds, which confirmed her calculation."

It's a pity that the previous battle with Xingsi almost exhausted the hidden weapons carried by Xu Xiaosi, so that Jiang Qingyu could only find a few fragments.

In addition, the bodies of all the Gong family members, including Gong Xing, were turned into fly ash in the explosion just now, which also made him lose the opportunity to profit from it.

After doing all this, Jiang Qingyu looked in a direction to the left.

The explosive force of the "Thor" just now was astonishing, attracting many people who came to investigate the news.

Even though it didn't take him much time to kill Xu Xiaosi and clean up the battlefield, it was still enough time for the innate third-rank Luminous Sun Realm from Meteor Pavilion to rush here.

"Come out, Xing Si."

"You must have heard the words Eunuch Xu said before he died, right?"

The surroundings were silent, no one answered, and it was unknown whether they were afraid of the mysterious Jiang Qingyu, or Xu Gonggong's words.

But in the silence, Jiang Qingyu felt an undisguised murderous intent.

"You want to kill me?"

"I killed Xu Xiaosi, you shouldn't have any trouble guessing my strength. But you still have to try to see if you can keep me even if you offend a master of the same level..."

"Is it because I took away something that made you absolutely sure?"

Jiang Qingyu's tone was very frivolous, and she didn't seem to be afraid of the Moonshot Bow and Xingyun Arrow in Xing Si's hands:

"Let me guess, is it a jade hairpin or a black jade bead?"

Without waiting for an answer, he continued:
"I guess it's Mo Yuzhu?"

"Although I don't know the origin of the Mo Yuzhu for the time being, just because the poison released from it can corrode Xu Xiaosi's hands that have been cultivated for half his life, it is not difficult to guess that the value of this object is far higher than that of the jade hairpin."

Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, it attracted a laugh:
"Oh, what do you know?"

"The value of this thing does not lie in the poison at all, but in the jade bead itself!"

Following the sound, a masked man in a purple robe came out of the forest.

In his left hand he held a half-human-high stone bow, and in his right hand he pinched an arrow made of stone material.

The arrow feather was on the bowstring, and the other end pointed at Jiang Qingyu's head, the bowstring was pulled into a full moon shape.

It is said that the headquarters of the Meteor Pavilion was built on a meteorite, and it is also said that the owner of the Meteor Pavilion was born from a mutation of a corpse that was innately fifth-rank dragon-raising state.

The Dragon Raising Realm was a well-known craftsman during his lifetime, and Xing Yi, the master of the Meteor Pavilion, obtained part of the memories of crafts, so he used meteorites as materials to forge ten divine weapons.

The Moon Shooting Bow and the Starfall Arrow are the second ones, ranking fourth and seventh respectively, and they are temporarily kept by Deputy Pavilion Master Xing Si.

Being pointed at the head by Xingyun Arrow, Jiang Qingyu felt a tingling pain on his forehead, which made him very upset:
"Xingsi, the deputy head of the Xingyun Pavilion, is this the first time we have met?"

"Actually, there is no need to go to war. You can talk about the origin of Mo Yuzhu first, maybe I can sell it to you at a high price without needing it."

Xingsi snorted coldly:
"Don't you just want to extract the origin of the jade beads from me?"

"I might as well tell you directly, I don't know what this thing is called or what its magical effect is, but you must keep it today!"

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly:
"Tell me a reason first."

Xingsi also does not hide:

"Our pavilion master also has a jade bead, which is exactly the same in appearance, size and breath."

"And I saw with my own eyes that he carried the jade beads on his body every day, never leaving him every step of the way!"

Jiang Qingyu asked again:

"Where did he get that jade bead?"

The pavilion master Xingyi of the Meteor Pavilion is a genuine fourth-grade congenital star-picking realm, and the jade beads that he can carry on his body must not be of ordinary grade, and it may have some magical effect to assist in cultivation.

However, Xing Si just smiled:
"Isn't the outside world rumoring that our pavilion master was born from a corpse?"

"The innate fifth-rank dragon cultivator refiner was buried with jade after his death, and what was in his mouth was the jade bead that our pavilion master carried day and night!"
