The Bad Guys: I Paint Jianghu in Troubled Times

Chapter 48: For the Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 149: Military funds are available and the pit is dug Zhu Youzhen's words made Zhong Xiaokui's thoughts all confused. It wasn't that she lacked self-control, it was just that she was too crazy last night...Early in the morning. Zhong Xiaokui, lying on the table, let Li Xingyun wipe her body with silk wetted with warm water helplessly. Her Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Divine Art's extreme yin inner force and Li Xingyun's extreme yang inner force were harmonized through the Yin-Yang of the Dragon and Phoenix Art. Not only did they obtain extreme pleasure, but their skills also improved significantly. The most obvious thing was that Li Xingyun had already entered the ranks of the Great Heavenly Position. In less than a year, he stepped from the middle tier to the great tier. This was related to Li Xingyun's talent and of course the various techniques he practiced. However, for Li Xingyun, currently only the Tiangang Jue in his series of techniques had been practiced to the great tier. The upper limit of the Tiangang Jue was Yuan Tiangang, and there were not so many shackles in his practice. It all depended on the depth of his internal strength. Li Xingyun has now cultivated the Tiangang Jue to the Great Heavenly Level, but he still has a long way to go. Although he has completed the Longquan Sword Art, his sword power cannot be improved again in a short period of time. As for the Five Thunders Heart Art, it is even more difficult to practice. Of course, it is also related to the fact that he is not from the Tianshi Mansion. Even with the support of the Supreme Saint Qiankun Gong, he has only reached the third level of controlling the thunder power. However, Li Xingyun was already very satisfied with this. His speed of improvement was far beyond that of ordinary people. Even the Black and White Impermanence who had passive cheats in the original Jianghu world and who possessed the Divine Underworld Technique did not have the terrifying cultivation speed of Li Xingyun. Li Xingyun also learned the Divine and Dark Art from Jiang Chen, but according to Jiang Chen, the Divine and Dark Art still has flaws. The more chaotic the internal force absorbed, the more difficult the path of martial arts will be. Even if her experimental subject, the Ghost King, was not sealed by Li Xingyun and did not have the power of the elixir of immortality, his lifetime achievement would probably only be the level of a small Tiangang. "Your Highness... the map seems to be wet..." Zhong Xiaokui looked at the dotted map with some embarrassment, but she didn't expect Li Xingyun to say nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, this map is not important, I just drew it casually. It's just right that when you go to see Zhu Youzhen tomorrow with the account books of those corrupt officials, you can give him this map and tell him that it is the burial place of the Longquan treasure that you learned from me under torture." "Extorting a confession by torture?" Zhong Xiaokui couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "Bad prince, who was bullying whom in front?" Li Xingyun raised his eyebrows and stretched out his fingers to probe, which immediately caused Zhong Xiaokui to whimper, "I already said that it was torture to force a confession. Who do you think forced whom to confess? I confessed a lot to you last night."

Zhong Xiaokui suddenly clamped her legs together. How could she not know that there was something else behind His Highness' words? "Your Highness is bad... so bad!" …… Thinking of how His Highness finally used the Huayang Needle technique to make her feel good again, Zhong Xiaokui's pretty face turned even redder, and she even felt something again... "Kill! Kill them all! How much money have these bastards embezzled from me? Huh? This is all my money!" Zhu Youzhen's shout immediately called out Zhong Xiaokui who was about to immerse himself in fantasy. At this time, the officials kneeling on the ground also crawled on their knees and began to kowtow and beg for mercy from Zhu Youzhen. "Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I was just confused for a moment!" "Yes, Your Majesty, I am loyal to Daliang and have no second thoughts!" "Please spare my life, Your Majesty..." …… The voices of begging for mercy kept coming one after another, making Zhu Youzhen more and more impatient. Just when he was about to order the killing of these officials, Shi Yao, who had been waiting on the side, suddenly said, "Your Highness, the officials here are all important officials of Daliang. If we kill them all, who will do the work in Liang State?" Although Shi Yao did not care about the life or death of these Liang officials, the Liang State could not afford chaos now. If all these people died, who would provide money and food for their Highness to train troops? Shi Yao's words immediately brought Zhu Youzhen back to reason from his anger. At this time, only Shi Yao, who looked like his mother, could persuade him. "Then what do you think we should do? Should we just let them go?" Zhu You looked at Shi Yao, who chuckled. This chuckle instantly made the hearts of all the officials in the hall rise to their throats. Not long ago, they looked down on a dancer for being loved so purely by Zhu Youzhen. Unexpectedly, today, their lives and property fell into the hands of a dancer. How ironic! Shi Yao said slowly: "Shi Yao thinks that we can raid their homes, take back the money that originally belonged to Your Majesty, and let them make amends for their crimes. After all, how many good officials in the world today are not corrupt?" Shi Yao's words made Zhu Youzhen fall into deep thought. Although he usually killed many officials when playing games, they were all insignificant officials. If he killed all the officials kneeling here, the affairs of Liang State would be all on him. How could he enjoy his day? Who would do things for him? Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen stroked his chin and said, "Just do as Shi Yao said. You bastards, why don't you thank Miss Shi Yao?" "Thank you Miss Shiyao!" "Thank you Miss Shiyao!" …… Zhu Youzhen immediately waved his hand and said, "Zhong Kui, take people to search my house immediately and bring back all my money!" At this time, Zhong Xiaokui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is actually a small amount. The real corrupt officials are all the governors of Daliang. The governors are frantically plundering their territories. They are like local emperors. The money they have embezzled is enough for Your Majesty to train an army to conquer the whole world!" Zhu Youzhen frowned and said, "How could I not know? But what can I do? They hold the military power. These old foxes, I have already issued the imperial decree for them to come to Luoyang. These bastards are all claiming to be ill just like Yang Shihou. What can I do?" Zhong Xiaokui's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "So your majesty should pay more attention to training your own army!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youzhen also looked at Zhong Xiaokui and asked, "Zhong Kui, how many new soldiers have you recruited? How is the training going? When can they go to the battlefield?" Zhong Xiaokui immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the 50,000 new soldiers have been recruited and the training has already begun, but the issues of military pay, equipment, and war horses have not yet been resolved." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said proudly: "Take a portion of the money embezzled by these corrupt officials and use it as military expenses. By April next year at the latest, I want to see the training effect of your new army!" Zhong Xiaokui smiled slightly and said, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!" …… Yichun courtyard. Boss Hu San was sweating profusely as he looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He didn't even notice the man's appearance at all. The young man just sat there, like a mountain pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe. "Spread the news that Wang Sicheng, a corrupt official of Liang State, has buried a large amount of gold and silver here. As long as you get this gold and silver, you can live happily forever!"
