Chapter 404: It

"Fang my lord, how should these two people, Xiang Kuangcheng and Mu Jing, be handled?"

"The Dao is different, we can only let them close their mouths forever."

"But they are just ordinary people, locked in prison where no one can see them, it won't affect our big event."

"Countless things in the Qingyun World that fell short of success died because of the benevolence of women."

He Jingyuan listened and fell silent, then nodded gently, his footsteps didn't stop, just didn't speak anymore.

Before long, the two walked into the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

Under the deep night, ice rain fell rustlingly, condensing into dense, sharp ice crystals in mid-air, hitting the glazed tiles of the palace, making a continuous, crisp, and ear-piercing "sha-sha" sound.

The flying eaves and corners of the palace showed a silent and hard outline in the dimness, and the rainwater gathered into strings along the eaves, not completely dripping, and had already frozen into icicles of different lengths.

This picture was like hanging a crystal curtain on this huge palace, eerie, and lifeless.

At that time, the two walked along the long corridor, gradually entering the deep palace; the imperial attendants who had been waiting here early saw the situation and greeted them, bowing slightly to the two.

"Seen Fang my lord, seen He my lord."

"Chen Gonggong, has His Majesty's headache been better recently?"

"Better, it hasn't hurt for a long time."

The imperial attendant heard He Jingyuan's question and said with a smile.

The young Great Xia Emperor had always had a headache, and since he ascended the throne, it had never stopped, and when it was serious, he couldn't even eat or sleep.

Old ministers like He Jingyuan all knew about this, so they always asked a question when entering the palace, as if it had become a habit.

While speaking, the white marble road reached its end, and further ahead were high stone steps, connecting to the terrace before the Emperor's bedroom.

At this time, the Great Xia Emperor was standing on the terrace, turning his eyes gently as he watched the arrival of Fang Ruoming and He Jingyuan.

"Caught the people?"

"Caught them, it's just that my fellow villager is more stubborn than I imagined."

Fang Ruoming said while walking toward the terrace, his tone carrying a trace of regret.

The Emperor sighed slightly after hearing this: "Ordinary people are indeed very difficult to understand our painstaking efforts, and more easily feel that we are executioners stained with blood, but how can the world's affairs be as simple as black and white? But fortunately, things will succeed soon, Fang Brother will hold the power of the world, and the prosperous age will come; when that time comes, they will understand everything."

Fang Ruoming nodded: "Let evil karma add to my body, I will also go."

"By the way, I heard you went to Gengyang City and killed some Fang family members? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that my younger sister found a marriage for herself, which is a Guan surname in Yuyang County, Fengzhou, and has a marriage relationship with the Fang family. I accompanied her to meet as a family member, but I didn't expect that after so many years, those noble families still haven't made any progress."

"After enduring for so many years, you finally couldn't help it."

"The past events are vivid, no matter how good the cultivation is, it's very hard to endure."

He Jingyuan was standing behind, hearing the conversation between the two and couldn't help but raise his head slightly.

He knew some of Fang Ruoming's past events; it is said that before joining the Northern Army, he had also gone to the Xian Sect to cultivate under a pseudonym.

But because he had no family background and was gifted, he was suppressed and bullied, and his experience was extremely similar to Ji You's.

It was also from then on that he began to hate the Xian Sect and noble family members.

"It was necessary to endure before because I was afraid of exposing everyone, but now it doesn't matter to vent a little, as long as it is handled properly."

"You can rest assured about this point; the Guan family was scared out of their wits, and the Xian Sect's reaction has always been slow, no one will find out."

"That's good." The Emperor nodded.

"How is the matter of the Sages' Holy Land?" Fang Ruoming suddenly asked, "Has the date for opening the Holy Land been set?"

"Today the Pill Sect sent a message, there are three cracks left in the Sages' Holy Land, and the date for opening the Holy Land has been set for the full moon of next month. Speaking of this matter, there is something quite interesting."

"Oh?"

The Emperor seemed to recall something, raising the corner of his mouth gently: "The five great Xian Sects don't trust each other, but they took the initiative to propose that the Northern Army guard the core of the Holy Land, while they guard the four directions; this suggestion happens to coincide with our thoughts."

"This is the one who gets the Dao, heaven helps him." Fang Ruoming looked into the distance with deep eyes, "After working hard for so many years, it's time to call this sun and moon change to a new sky. When that time comes, Fang will definitely not forget everyone's efforts and help."

"That would be good."

"The cold night wind is cool, His Majesty's body is not good, so go back to rest early, I also have to make some preparations."

The Emperor coughed twice: "Then I won't send you off. I looked for you today just to meet and ask about the Fang family matter; some words will be left until after the success."

Fang Ruoming nodded after hearing this, then walked down the white marble steps.

After watching him walk away, He Jingyuan, who had been standing behind the two, looked at the Emperor, as if he had something to say, but hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

The Emperor looked at him when he saw the situation: "Does He my lord have anything else to say?"

"It's my two Si Xian Jian officials, I don't know how His Majesty wants to deal with them?"

"Didn't Fang my lord say?"

He Jingyuan fell silent for a moment and then raised his head: "Fang my lord said to kill them."

The Emperor turned his head upon hearing the sound: "The winter when the reign title was changed was when our plan officially started. When I gathered you all together that day, I said that his order is equivalent to my order; why do you have to ask me again?"

"I just feel that they are just ordinary people, locking them up is fine, there is really no need to kill them."

"I am very curious, what did Xiang Kuangcheng say to you in prison that made you suddenly start to hesitate tonight?"

"His Majesty is serious, what we are doing is a great cause that benefits the people, this subordinate has never had any hesitation, but do we really have to hand over everything to Fang my lord?"

The Emperor turned his body over: "So what you are hesitating about is not what we are doing, but him as a person."

He Jingyuan pondered for a long time and then spoke: "His Majesty, Xiang Kuangcheng once asked a question in prison: if we are truly stained with blood for the sake of the people, then after the new world order is established, should we pay for the lives of the dead people? This subordinate was asked, and Fang my lord's response was different from what I thought."

"If Ruoming Brother has an innocent heart, he also has the ambition to open peace for all generations; he is the most clear person I have ever seen. What's more, the luck of the whole clan can only be borne by his body. You shouldn't hesitate at the critical moment, but should be more firm and unwavering."

He Jingyuan bowed after hearing this: "His Majesty, I understand."

The Emperor looked into the distant deep sky: "They are both good ministers; if it weren't for today's matter, they could be reused after the great cause is completed. Even if they can't be used now, remember to let them go quickly."

"This subordinate knows."

"Go."

He Jingyuan nodded, then walked down the white marble road.

Under the endless darkness and the fine rain like weaving, only the Emperor was left on the terrace.

But he didn't return to the bedroom immediately because of his illness, but still maintained the same posture as before, looking into the boundless deep sky.

Suddenly, the Great Xia Emperor smashed his head without warning.

"Stop arguing, be quiet!"

"..."

The spring rain fell for several days, until the seventh day of the third month.

Wei Rui held an oil-paper umbrella and crossed Yong'an Street, walking toward Nishan, with fear and unease in her expression.

Soon, she arrived before the sect gate of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, but was blocked by the array and could not enter.

The Zhangshi Tian Shuyuan disciple guarding the sect gate array saw him and bowed slightly: "Wei Miss, may I ask why you came to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan?"

"I want to find Cao Jiaoxi."

"Cao Jiaoxi? Oh, you mean Elder Cao?"

Wei Rui nodded immediately: "Yes, I have something to say to him, please help me pass the message, this Young Master."

That Zhangshi Tian Shuyuan disciple couldn't help but show a difficult expression upon hearing this: "The Sages' Holy Land is about to open, the demon race is eyeing us like a tiger, Elder Cao and a group of elders in the Elder Pavilion have all followed the Hall Master to Zhongzhou, and I cannot contact them."

"Then what about Zhengxin Xianzi?" ===== CHAPTER 405 =====
