One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 78: Putting down the chaos of monsters
Xiahou Yunxi, who originally turned to leave, slowly turned around.

First, he took a look at Xu Shanhe and found that he did have some similarities with Xu Lan, and then his eyes fell on Xu Lan.

"He's my father."

After Xu Lan paused for a moment, he took the initiative and said, "Dad, this is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"I met my uncle."

What surprised Xu Lan was that Xiahou Yunxi did not act like the eldest princess, but instead bowed respectfully to Xu Shanhe as a junior.

This scene completely confused Xu Shanhe.
Even the many Tiance soldiers on the side looked at me and I looked at you, a little at a loss.
Obviously, they have never seen the aloof eldest princess being so polite to an ordinary citizen.

"There are still many demonic beasts causing trouble in the capital. I will invite my uncle to a banquet later to apologize."

After Xiahou Yunxi finished speaking, he led the Tiance army away from here, leaving behind Xu Shanhe who was still messy in the wind.

What did the eldest princess call me?

"Let's go to the palace first."

Xu Lan didn’t stay here too long either.

After what happened just now,

He realized that the dynasty luck and demonic beast inner elixir in his body were too attractive to these demonic beasts that broke out of the seal.

One end is fine,
If three or four monster beasts appeared at the same time, there would be a lot of trouble.

"Let's go."

Xu Shanhe came to his senses from the eldest princess's words of "uncle".

He looked at his son with complicated eyes, but he felt a little strange.

In his impression, although Xu Lan is the kind of character who is good at managing interpersonal relationships,

But he has never had anything to do with any woman in Qingzhou City.

But now, he never expected that in just over a month, his son would not only have a close relationship with the head of the Sun family, the largest wealthy family in Qingzhou City, but also
Nowadays, it seems that even the relationship between the eldest princess who controls the Chu Dynasty is extremely unusual.

"Where is the problem?"

Then Xu Lan and his party returned to the palace,
And just as he had guessed, wherever he went, the monsters that broke out of the seal would be attracted to them.

This was quickly noticed by the eldest princess,
Until the end, Xiahou Yunxi simply didn't go anywhere and just sat in the palace waiting for the monsters to appear.

The dynasty luck in Xu Lan's body and Qinglin's demonic beast inner elixir aura are extremely attractive to these demonic beasts.

After all, these two people worked together in the past to severely injure them and seal them away for thousands of years or even longer.

This continued until the early hours of the morning, when the monsters in Kyoto were completely cleared away.

"There are close to a hundred monsters appearing in Kyoto."

Even Xu Lan had to sigh,
If these monsters hadn't been severely injured and sealed for thousands of years or more, their current strength would have been completely gone.

Otherwise, this group of monsters alone would be enough to destroy the entire Chu Dynasty.

"One hundred and twenty-six."

Xiahou Yunxi also showed a hint of fatigue in his expression.
Even though she is a practitioner of the Seventh Realm, she still feels powerless after rounds of battles.

"There are so many in Kyoto alone, and there are countless monsters that have broken the seal in various places in the Chu Dynasty."

Sun Hongying's heart moved slightly.
The reason why Kyoto was able to calm down the monster chaos quickly and safely was largely related to Xu Lan.

with him,
Those monster beasts seemed to be desperate for their lives and came straight to his location.

Coupled with Xiahou Yunxi's top combat power,

That's why Kyoto can easily survive the crisis this time, but other places in the Chu Dynasty may not have such good luck.

It seems that I have to put the return to Qingzhou on the agenda.
Although she doesn't value the Sun family in her heart,

But now that he has become the head of the Sun family, he can't just watch them die in this chaos of monsters.

"The Xuanjing Division has been sent to various places to assist the government in suppressing the monsters that have broken out of the seal. I am not very worried about this."

It seems to be to appease Xu Lan,
Xiahou Yunxi said directly: "Now there is no one left in the Xuanjing Division in Kyoto."

"Your Highness is wise."

Xu Lan, who was still a little worried at first, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Although he is not very clear about the combat power of Xuanjing Division,

But no matter what, it is much better than the situation where there are only three realm practitioners in yamen everywhere.

Take Qingzhou as an example,

As the transportation center of the Great Chu Dynasty, practitioners of the Three Realms were the top combat force in Qingzhou.

With the help of the Xuanjing Division,
Even if the monsters in various places cannot be suppressed again in a short period of time, they only need to stabilize the situation temporarily and wait for the follow-up support from Kyoto's Tiance Army.

"What I'm most worried about are the monsters that sneak into the mountains and forests."

Xiahou Yunxi sighed slightly and said: "Once they are allowed to recover, it will also be an unbearable disaster for Da Chu."

"There shouldn't be much to worry about."

Xu Lan thought for a moment, then said: "Xiahou Changyuan said that he wanted to travel around Dachu. In addition to commemorating his old friends, he probably also has some other plans."

Based on his understanding of Xiahou Changyuan, everything he did seemed not to have a single goal.

"If there is an ancestor who takes action, there is really no need to worry."

Hearing this, Xiahou Yunxi also showed a look of relief. After all, the ancestor was here, and he was the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Chu Dynasty.

"What are you going to do with these monsters?"

Xu Lan paused for a moment, then asked: "I'm afraid it's difficult to kill them with the current methods. I'm afraid keeping them is a hidden danger."

"It sounds strange."

Xiahou Yunxi seemed to remember something and said: "My ancestor once told me that there is a prison-like formation under the Imperial Mausoleum Ancestral Temple. He told me that this formation can smelt some extremely tenacious creatures. , let them turn into nutrients for the destiny of the Great Chu Dynasty."

"Is this a backup plan left by Xiahou Zhangyuan?"

Xu Lan was slightly startled when he heard this, but then he was relieved.

Xiahou Changyuan is the star king who controls the law of [destiny]. Perhaps what happened today was deduced by him thousands of years ago.

As for why he didn't imprison these monsters directly back then, although Xu Lan wasn't very sure, he had some guesses in his mind.

Maybe it has something to do with the [rules]. As a star king who [masters] the rules, he also has to follow the [rules].

Just as he clearly knows that [the origin of the law] is a shackles for Xingjun,
But for thousands of years, he never gave it to anyone else or destroyed it, but when Lin Wanying asked for it, he gave it to him directly.

There is a certain [rule] involved,
After all, Xiahou Changyuan took the initiative to give the [Origin of Law] to others and having the [Origin of Law] taken away by others are two completely different things.

And the current situation is probably consistent with this statement.
The vitality of monster beasts is indeed tenacious;

But in fact, it shouldn't be too difficult for Xingjun who has mastered the [Origin of Law] to kill them.

Just because of certain [rules] reasons, Xiahou Changyuan could not directly kill these monsters thousands of years ago or turn them into nutrients and fertilizer for the fortune of the Great Chu Dynasty.

But it's different now,
It was because of other people that these monsters broke out, so when the [rules] were broken, Xiahou Changyuan could naturally attack these monsters.

Although Xiahou Changyuan said that it was the Star God who gave the [rules], but at the end of the War of All Races, the Star God was just a human being.

In other words, the root of shaping all this is the manager of heaven. "Let Xingjun have [the rules] but let them check and balance each other."

"The Star Lords seem to have mastered the [Rules], but in fact they are also the group of people who are most severely constrained by the [Rules]."

Many thoughts flashed through Xu Lan's mind, and he had to be careful about this kind of thing.

For ordinary practitioners,

Now he is only in the third realm, and he is still far away from the so-called nine realms.

Not to mention the level of Immortal and Xingjun.

But he is different,
What other people find difficult to accomplish in a lifetime only takes a year or two for Xu Lan.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Everyone has worked hard today."

Xiahou Yunxi said calmly: "I have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some meals that suit Qingzhou's taste."

"Please Your Highness."

Xu Lan nodded, with some ripples in his heart.

Although he had some relationship with Xiahou Yunxi, he actually had no feelings for Xiahou Yunxi.

Everything between the two of them is just a transaction at best.

But Xiahou Yunxi and Sun Hongying are different.
She knows exactly what to do, and in layman's terms, she will never embarrass herself in front of outsiders.

This alone is actually quite rare.

After eating, Xu Shanhe was also arranged to stay in a palace, which made Xu Shanhe feel flattered.

In Qingzhou, he is a cultivator of the Three Realms respected by everyone.
But in Kyoto, he was just one of thousands of people. Before that, he had never dreamed in his life that he would one day live in the palace.

What is the relationship between his son and the eldest princess?
Xu Shanhe felt that he was going to have insomnia tonight.
Soon, Xu Lan and Xiahou Yunxi were left in the hall.

When there was no one else around, Xiahou Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was the supervisor of the Great Chu Dynasty, today's events also consumed a lot of her mind.

"Can you wait for me for a while?"

Xiahou Yunxi looked at Xu Lan in front of him and said softly: "The monster chaos broke out today, and I still have many memorials to review."

"it is good."

Xu Lan hesitated slightly, but nodded.

It seems that Xiahou Yunxi attaches great importance to the matter of having a new child. Well, he attaches more importance to it than he thought.

"You don't need to worry too much about the Qian family in Qingzhou."

Xiahou Yunxi said softly while reviewing the memorial: "Gu Qing will not anger you for this matter."

As a supervisor, she really didn't know about this at first. Even Gu Baiyi never mentioned it to her.
If she hadn't remembered something yesterday and looked through the Suspended Mirror Division's case files, I'm afraid she wouldn't have known about it until now.

"Maybe."

Xu Lan looked calm,

In fact, during this period of time in Kyoto, he also learned a lot of news about Gu Baiyi from other people.

What surprised him was that Gu Baiyi had a pretty good reputation in Kyoto.

but
After all, it was because of his own fault that Gu Baiyi's wife and entire family were killed.

Even if this grudge is difficult to resolve,
If he were in Gu Baiyi's position, he might not be able to face his enemy calmly.

"Gu Qing is a very smart person."

Xiahou Yunxi said softly: "It should be the day you entered Beijing, which happened to be the day he was ordered to go to neighboring countries to establish diplomatic relations."

"You mean he knew I was going to Beijing?"

There were some ripples in Xu Lan's heart.
He had always thought that the meeting that day was a coincidence, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.

But it's right to think about it,

As a popular person next to the Princess of the Supervisory Kingdom, there are countless officials who are willing to be friends with her even if she has no official position.

I'm afraid I've just left Qingzhou.

Gu Baiyi, who was far away in Kyoto, already knew about this.

But he couldn't understand why Gu Baiyi wanted to avoid him?

Logically speaking, going to Kyoto should be his best chance to take action against him, bar none.

"should know."

Xiahou Yunxi paused for a moment, and then said: "Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly asked me to go to neighboring countries to establish diplomatic relations on behalf of Dachu, probably because he wanted to avoid you."

"What's the point of him doing this?"

Xu Lan couldn't understand even more.
Logically speaking, given Gu Baiyi's status, even if he does not have an official position, it is still very easy to deal with him.

Facing the hatred of genocide,

Not only did he not take revenge, on the contrary, he actively avoided himself.

It's a bit counterintuitive.

"Because from a certain standpoint, you helped him solve his biggest trouble."

Xiahou Yunxi's words were shocking, and Xu Lan was completely stunned by what he said.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Lan's mind.

A seemingly impossible answer gradually formed in my mind, although this answer sounded quite absurd.

Gu Baiyi has always been at odds with the Qian family!
As the son-in-law of the Qian family, Gu Baiyi does not seem to be as prosperous as others imagined.

correct,

I recall what Chen Ci once said,
Gu Baiyi was a scholar in Qingzhou in his early years. I am afraid that his experiences in those years created conflicts between him and his former family.

As a result, he finally gained the attention of the eldest princess.

It was also the first time that his family moved away from Qingzhou. However, even though he left Qingzhou, his relationship with the Qian family remained unbroken.

Just like that mineral vein,
Sun Hongying also said that the Qian family's strength and status would not have allowed them to participate in the final bidding.

But in the end, it was the Qian family who got the ownership of the mine.

This probably has a lot to do with Gu Baiyi who is in Kyoto.

Taking a step back,
Even if Gu Baiyi didn't help, because of his different status.

Other officials in Da Chu will also consider Gu Baiyi's feelings when doing things.

And it happened to be this kind of behavior that caused Gu Baiyi a lot of trouble.

However, due to his status, he could not do anything to the Qian family. On the contrary, he could only endure everything silently.

And he happened to take action at this time and wiped out all the Qian family.

This was a worry for Gu Baiyi, but also because of his identity, he had to consider how to face Xu Lan.
