"Today, Han Fei and Hong Lian broke the Broken Dragon Formation, allowing our country to avoid losing its territory! My ministers, do you think they should be rewarded?" Xiao Tian, now transformed into King Han, spoke with a resounding voice and a smile in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you deserve a reward!"
"A generous reward!"
"Very well!" Xiao Tian lowered his voice and laughed loudly, "In that case, let's celebrate here! Everyone present shall enjoy the imperial cuisine and wine, and be prepared with singing and dancing!"
Many ministers were stunned by the news and began celebrating in the court!
Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei stared at the 'King of Han', a wicked smile curving his lips. He couldn't help but turn around and leave in secret.
This was a night that some powerful figures and Go masters in Han State would never forget, and also a night that some people racked their brains over, unable to understand.
The General's Mansion.
"Tiger, Lord Marquis, do you think the King of Han has been replaced?" Ji Wuye, with new beauties on his left and right, had a gloomy look in his eyes.
"General, that can't be right, can it?" Jade Tiger chuckled and poured Ji Wuye a full glass of wine.
Blood-Clad Marquis Bai also stood by the window, his posture like a drawn sword, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a wine cup half-filled with transparent liquid.
"Let Her Majesty investigate, and that will suffice."
Ji Wuye turned his head to look at Marquis Bai Yifei in Blood Robes and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Marquis, to make a trip to the palace."
As dawn broke, inside the palace, Lady Mingzhu, watching the elusive Xiao Tian, couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, you've been too presumptuous in court. Nightfall is starting to suspect you."
Xiao Tian plopped down on Lady Mingzhu's soft bed, stretched out, and chuckled, "Did the Marquis of Bloody Garments send you to investigate me?"
"Your Majesty is incredibly wise, but this concubine is finding it so difficult."
"Beauty, what's so difficult for you? You practically hold all the power in this harem. Hu Meiren can't compete with you for power." Xiao Tian curled his lip.
"Eh." Lady Mingzhu swayed her waist and walked to the edge of the bed to sit down. Her soft, boneless hands began to massage Xiao Tian's calves.
"Your Majesty, you can't go too far. My cousins aren't stupid. I might be suspected of betraying Nightfall."
"What's there to be afraid of? This is what makes it lively. You're working for me." Xiao Tian closed his eyes, enjoying Lady Mingzhu 'Lady Mingzhu leg massage, which had just the right amount of pressure.
Sometimes forceful, sometimes gentle, sometimes slapping—it's clear that Lady Mingzhu has been putting in a lot of effort lately to please Xiao Tian.
"Enough, Your Majesty, whatever makes you happy. I am but a rootless duckweed; when the time comes, I will be gone."
Xiao Tian curled his lip and said, "Alright, Nightfall Ji Wuye, your cousin Marquis of Bloody Garments is just suspicious. I'll use the identity of the King of Han less often from now on. Also, if you need to find me, you can call out my nickname in your mind."
"A nickname?" Lady Mingzhu asked in surprise, then smiled charmingly and said, "I am truly delighted. After all these days, I am finally able to learn a little about His Majesty."
Xiao Tian felt a chill run down his spine; the woman's tone made every cell in his body begin to tingle with excitement.
"I've remembered it. My nickname Undying Deva Path. Come, try calling it out in your heart a few times."
Lady Mingzhu was half-believing and half-doubting, silently calling out the nickname "Undying Deva Path" three times.
Xiao Tian's consciousness sank into his mind, where a world map appeared. Recently, Lady Mingzhu had successfully become an ally, hence the blue cursor on the world map. At this moment, because Lady Mingzhu was calling out his nickname for help in her mind, a series of red exclamation marks and some question marks appeared above the cursor.
"Very well, that's it. I have sensed your call."
Lady Mingzhu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Your Majesty really treats me like a one-year-old child."
"Believe it or not." Xiao Tian curled his lip. Couldn't this woman trust him even a little?
At noon, Xiao Tian, having enjoyed lunch at Hu Meiren's place, watched a play at the Purple Orchid Pavilion.
" Qin State's intentions are not simple. Although our country's crisis has been temporarily averted with Li Si's solution to the Broken Dragon Formation,' I still feel uneasy," Han Fei murmured.
" Little Feifei, this is a typical case of overthinking caused by excessive mental exertion at night and lack of sleep, leading to nervous Weaken. Just drink some wine and sleep for a day, and you'll be fine." Xiao Tian lay on his side, drinking fruit wine that he had secretly added to his Martial Soul Beverage Cola Sprite, through a straw he had invented.
" Han Fei has indeed worked hard, but has Young Master Xiao achieved anything in the palace?" Zi Nu's eyes were playful as she stared at Xiao Tian.
"What achievements have I made? Wealth? I don't lack it. Status? I don't care about it. I can only wait for your good news to find me the Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment, so I can live a peaceful life as a lazy bum."
Zi Nu, Han Fei, and Yan Lingji couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Wei Zhuang, holding the Shark Tooth Sword, stood upright by the window, gazing into the distance. He couldn't help but turn his head and say, "Speaking of the Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment, the Seven Absolutes Hall has a clue. One of our brothers in the alley south of the city saw a young master wearing a complete jade pendant that resembled the Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Piece at his waist."
"So what happened next?" Xiao Tian asked, perking up.
"That brother is dead. He knew he was going to die in advance and secretly slipped the news into a crack in the wall, where it was discovered by Tang Qi Seven Absolutes Hall," Wei Zhuang said.
"Interesting. Then I'll take a good look around Xinzheng City. There have indeed been some strangers arriving lately."
"And, Xiao Zhuang, I feel like your spring is coming." Xiao Tian Xiao was incredibly irritating.
Wei Zhuang was exasperated and didn't bother to say anything more to Xiao Tian.
"Commander Xiao, what is Brother Wei Zhuang's spring?" Han Fei winked at Xiao Tian, full of curiosity.
"You two better watch yourselves, don't make Wei Zhuang angry." Zi Nu smiled.
"Hehehe, Zi Nu Beauty, you're overthinking it. Xiao Zhuang never gets angry; when he does, people die. But Little Feifei, your question is very insightful and crucial. Let me tell you..."
It was around 3 or 4 pm.
Xiao Tian used his Ruyi Divine Ability - Seventy-Two Transformations to transform himself into an ordinary passerby, tightly gripping the Nine-Colored Glazed World Fragment in his hand as he traversed Xinzheng City.
As night fell, in a secluded and elegant residence...
" Young Master Shang, your jade pendant is glowing."
"Um?"
The handsome young man in white glanced at the jade pendant at his waist that emitted a hazy white light, and was secretly surprised.
"Presumably, some guests have arrived." Gai Nie cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
"Since the guest has arrived, why not show yourself?" Young Master Shang asked calmly.
"Hehehe, hand over the jade pendant to me, and I won't reveal your whereabouts here." Xiao Tian, now disguised as an ordinary person, appeared mysteriously before Gai Nie and Young Master Shang.
Gai Nie was startled, his expression turning serious.
As the foremost Grandmaster in the Qin State and the swordsmanship teacher of the King of Qin, he not only possessed near-perfect swordsmanship skills but also had exceptionally strong perception.
However, the appearance of an ordinary person in front of him made Gai Nie feel a little uneasy.
"Why?" Young Master Shang possessed a strong mental fortitude, his eyes sharp as he stared intently at Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian understood the implication in Young Master Shang's words: he was asking how he knew Young Master Shang and Gai Nie's identities and whereabouts.
