Chapter 1217 – Use Me Only
The Heaven’s Expanse Palace.
Ning Xiaolou had always had a lot of people by his side, especially those strategists who thought highly of themselves. For example, Bai Sheng Academy, the guy who found out that there waroblem and ran away after sending An Zheng into the Secret Realm.
As he sat on that wide and comfortable chair, Ning Xiaolou’s expression did not look very relaxed. Although the current situation was becoming more and more advantageous for him, he had a faint feeling that a storm was coming.
He just wasn’t sure if the storm came from the outside or the inside.
“Xiao Jiu.”
He glanced at the young girl who was sitting opposite to him, making him some tea. The young girl’s perfect curves had become even more tempting because she was sitting opposite him. She wore a snow-white muslin dress, and even though she was only sitting there, she gave off a transcendent aura.
“Your Majesty called me because I was hesitating?”
“Yes.”
Ning Xiaolou stood up, walked to her side, and lightly pinched her shoulder. The young girl’s face was slightly red, and when he lowered his eyes, it was as thougink lotus had bloomed.
“The reason why the Your Majesty is hesitating is because they have yet to determine the purpose of the Buddhist Sect’s visit. The buddhist faith is a great external support, even the immortal palaces have to respect the buddhist faith. Even the immortal emperors have to respect the buddha, so no matter why the buddhist faith is here, as long as it is here, it will be good for the Your Majesty. ”
“I know it’s a good thing, but what if they just want to expand their territory? “Now that I have managed to erase the people’s faith, their reverence towards me gradually dissipates. If the Buddhist Sect takes the chance to enter, then when the people’s reverence towards me move to the Buddhist Sect, I’m afraid within a few decades, Bai Shengjun will be dead in name.”
“That was decades later.”
The girl raised her head and looked at Ning Xiaolou. She was truly a beauty with bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin. Her name was Tian Xiaoxi, and she had a name that resembled a boy’s. But in Ning Xiaolou’s eyes, she was the most gentle woman in the world.
Xiao Jiu thought for a while and said, “The worries of the Your Majesty are not in a few decades, but right in front of your eyes. With the Buddhist Sect standing beside Your Majesty, no matter if it was a Immortal Teacher’s Estate or a Divine Court, they would all have to be slightly fearful. Your Majesty was now going to take advantage of this situation and do what he should have done but did not dare. Nine Saint Sect had already given him a good beating before, but it was not painful enough. Now it seems that Your Majesty should give it another beating, and give it a fierce beating. ”
Ning Xiaolou frowned slightly: “At this very moment, it is precisely because of the arrival of the Buddha Sect that the Nine Saint Sect was slightly restrained. I am not resting, could it be that I have to take the initiative and attack?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes.”
Xiao Jiu’er smiled and said: “If Your Majesty took advantage of this time to recuperate, Nine Saint Sect would think that the relationship between the Buddhist Sect and Your Majesty was just average, and that we did not have a deep friendship. But when Your Majesty makes his move, Nine Saint Sect will think that the Buddhist Sect has made their stand. ”
Ning Xiaolou’s eyes lit up: “That makes sense.”
He paced back and forth. After pondering for a while, he said, “Tomorrow morning, I will have the Qinguan’s army come out of seclusion and give them a good beating.”
“Not only that.”
Xiao Jiu continued, “Your Majesty also knows, that there are a lot of spies in Yancheng. Actually, most of the spies in DEA have already been investigated, but they didn’t dare make a move because there isn’t an opportunity. Because once we get rid of these spies, we’ll be able to disrupt the balance. When that happens, our people in Nine Saint Mountain City will be uprooted as well. But it’s different now, Your Majesty has to show an attitude that I’m not afraid of you. ”
Ning Xiaolou made a sound of acknowledgement, “If there are losses, there are losses … The people from Nine Saint Mountain City... Just give up. I’ll have Zhu Xiaojian do it later and we’ll do it tonight. ”
“One more thing.”
Xiao Jiu said: “That An Zheng, has Your Majesty thought about how to treat him? This person’s heart is higher than the heavens. Xiao Jiu actually knew that Qiu Mayi’s words were likhorn in the heart of Your Majesty. However, one’s life was in the sky, while another’s life was in the hands of another. “Since this noble can bring good luck to Your Majesty, then I will have to raise this noble aura of yours …”
“Nurturing noble energy? “What do you mean?”
“This person can bring good luck to Your Majesty because he is compatible with the fate star of the Your Majesty. I don’t believe that Qiu Mayi doesn’t have a way to directly transfer this person’s fate to Your Majesty. If the Your Majesty could directly obtain this person’s fortune, then what kind of noble person would be needed? The Your Majesty is indeed a noble. ”
Xiao Jiu’s words were likhunderclap that exploded inside Ning Xiaolou’s heart. His expression constantly changed, and his footsteps became faster and faster as he paced around the room. He suddenly wanted to say something, but after looking at Xiao Jiu’er for a moment, he started to pace again.
“Your Majesty, Xiao Jiu is not forcing Your Majesty to make a decision right now, his luck is still around, so Your Majesty does not need to rush to make a move. The first thing to do is to see Qiu Mayi. If Qiu Mayi is unwilling, then Xiao Jiu’er has a way. ”
“What method?”
“We’re sworn brothers.”
Xiao Jiu raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, “People with a different surname have karmic luck, the only way is to become sworn brothers. After the brothers became sworn brothers, they shared their karmic luck. Since ancient times, how many people had experienced the same life and death together after being sworn brothers? Their fate was tightly linked together. The Your Majesty gave him a portion of the matters in the court, which is equivalent to giving him half of the trouble in the court, while using half of his luck to seek trouble for the Your Majesty. ”
Ning Xiaolou stopped and looked out the window: “Is there any way to fix it once and for all?”
He made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Xiao Jiu was silent for a moment, then said: “So, we still have to see if Qiu Mayi is willing to or not.”
She stood up, took a piece of clothing and draped it over Ning Xiaolou’s body. “Actually, it is still too early for Your Majesty to think about all this. Those who knew, those who found out, and even those who suspected, were all wiped out. The second matter was that the elders of the court were no longer of use. I know that Your Majesty has groomed a few youths in the past few years.
Ning Xiaolou said: “The saying is that... However, these people’s positions were too important. Forget about those outside the Yancheng, just talking about those old fellows in the imperial court who had controlled the imperial government for so many years, which one of them was not willing to sit in the most important position and not give up. The benefits these people hold in their hands are too great. Once they begin to attack, I would not be able to endure if they were to join hands. At that time, Yancheng will have internal strife, and even if I rule several tens of thousands of miles, it will also be chaotic. The consequences are unimaginable. ”
“Your Majesty’s weakness is its hesitation.”
Xiao Jiu’er lightly sighed, as if she didn’t want to say anything anymore.
“I’ll listen to you. I’ll listen to you.”
Ning Xiaolou turned around and hugged her slender waist, his hand feeling extremely good, “I know, you are the only one who is truly good to me in this world. In all these years, which major event didn’t listen to you? “However, this matter can be decided from a long-term perspective. After all, if we don’t move, then so be it. If we move, it would just cause the mountains to shake and the earth to move …”
“The more it is like this, the more decisive it is. While those people were completely caught off guard, we captured them overnight. ”
“Take him down overnight?”
Ning Xiaolou sat down and said dejectedly, “Those people are being watched by me and my people are also being watched by them. You know very well that the military iop priority, so even I don’t know how many people they’ve planted in the military. If I don’t move the military, I will only move the DEA … DEA has limited manpower, and only Zhu Xiaojian is able to take action, every single movement of Zhu Xiaojian is being monitored by them, as long as there is any wind or grass movement, they would immediately make preparations. ”
Xiao Jiu’er suddenly felt an extreme heartache for Ning Xiaolou. Back then, when the old Your Majesty left just like that, he made a mess for him. Now, not only was this mess not reformed, it was even more difficult to deal with. Old Your Majesty liked to act like he was tolerant and virtuous, so when he did something wrong to his subordinates, or if he had any intentions, it was basically seeing through everything. The old Your Majesty thought that they could win over people’s hearts this way, but he did not know that after so long, these people had all gotten used to it and thought that it was impossible for the Bai Shengjun to leave them.
Under this kind of vicious cycle, although Ning Xiaolou looked glorious, there weren’t many people by his side that could use it. If it was Ning Xiaolou himself who intervened, of course it would be fine, but that would also mean he would lose an extremely bad reputation. Furthermore, once the Bai Shengjun made his move, the people outside would clearly see that the dazzling Bai Shengjun Ning Xiaolou was actually all alone.
“I need an outsider.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ (f)ir(e).net
Xiao Jiu’er pondered before saying, “A person who has strength but is not seen by those people. This person was inconspicuous, so when he suddenly did something, those people would be caught off guard. “How about …”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe looked at Ning Xiaolou: “Taking advantage of the chaos tonight, Your Majesty is going to beg that princess? I think that the princess really came here with Golden Crown’s sincerity, and Golden Crown won’t give up on this opportunity. They will feel that their people are helping you get rid of the trouble around you. That way, it’s equivalent to having one hand directly inserted into the court, and it’s even possible for them to have the authority to control the Bai Shengjun’s imperial court. ”
Ning Xiaolou shook his head: “It’s precisely because of this that I don’t dare to beg her. I know, if I ask for it, the experts of Golden Crown will definitely kill me. For my own sake, I need a group of outsiders to kill my own people.
Xiao Jiu’s expression changed, “It’s my fault for being inconsiderate. Once this matter is spread out, it will greatly affect the Your Majesty …”
Right at this moment, an eunuch suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry. Because it was too urgent, he tripped on the doorstep and flew in directly. Lying on the ground, the eunuch said witale face, “Your Majesty … Not good, something big had happened. Yancheng’s Guardian General Song Lie is dead … ”
Ning Xiaolou stood up abruptly. “What did you say?”
“Song Lie is dead. Not only Song Lie, six of the eight great generals of the Privy Council are dead, three of the prosecutors of the DEA are dead, and the lords in charge of each department are dying one by one. Right now, there is a long queue of people from various families that have come to request an audience with the Your Majesty! “My lords in the court, ten out of ten, six out of seven …”
“Who the fuck is that?!”
Ning Xiaolou hoarsely shouted, “Where are my people? Where are the people from DEA! Where are the people from the military! Where are they! ”
“It’s me.”
An Zheng stood in the courtyard of the Jing Ran Palace and changed into a clean set of clothes. He stood there calmly with his hands cupped in front of his chest as he slightly lowered his head.
“It’s all my fault. I started killing people the night before. Four hours and fifteen minutes, killing a hundred and nine people.”
He raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.
“Those within the court, those that cannot be used, I will kill.”
Ning Xiaolou fiercely rushed out from the great hall, grabbing onto the front of An Zheng’s clothes, then looked at An Zheng with bloodshot eyes: “Did you think that since you killed everyone, I would have no one to use in the future, and could only use you!”
An Zheng actually did not deny it. He nodded and answered seriously: “Yes, Your Majesty … You can only use me. ”
Ning Xiaolou’s hand suddenly loosened and drooped down dejectedly.
“Damn you... “Who is it?”
