LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 142
In the capital, in the Ghost King's Mansion, Zhu Houzhao also ran here today. It was not that Zhu Houzhao wanted to come here on his own initiative, but he was directly called here by Xu Ruowu.
Facing his father-in-law, Zhu Houzhao would still give a certain face.
Moreover, Xu Ruowu, the father-in-law, was different from ordinary fathers-in-law.
It was just that Zhu Houzhao had just returned to the Ghost King's Mansion, but he was attracted by an aura. This was a majestic figure, a rough and heroic face, an ugly face, a pair of yellow eyes that seemed to be awake and drunk, his arms were much longer than normal people, and a long sword was tied around his waist.
In just a moment, Zhu Houzhao recognized the other party's identity-Lang Fanyun!
""The sword that covers the rain, the waves that turn the clouds!" Seeing the newcomer, Zhu Houzhao also showed a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth.
Then he looked at Xu Ruowu who was standing aside. Why did you call him here?
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's puzzled look, Xu Ruowu just smiled without comment.
"Meet Your Majesty!!" Lang Fanyun bowed slightly when he saw Zhu Houzhao, and then he asked,"This time, Lang came to see Your Majesty because I have something to ask."
"Is it about the death of your late wife Ji Xixi?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a subtle look on his face.
"Yes! Your Majesty is indeed as good as a god!"After hearing this, Lang Fanyun hurriedly asked:"If Your Majesty tells you the truth of this matter, Lang is willing to owe Your Majesty a favor."
"I will let you owe me a favor, which is very valuable." Zhu Houzhao chuckled when he heard this, but he continued,"I do know the truth about this matter, but the mastermind behind it is dead."
"Dead?" Lang Fanyun frowned upon hearing this.
"Well, she's dead!" Zhu Houzhao continued to explain:"The mastermind behind the murder of Ji Xixi was Shan Yuru from the Tianming Sect.
As for why she wanted to kill Ji Xixi, it should be because you were entrusted by Yan Jing'an of Cihang Jingzhai to go to Beijing to defeat Hongxuan Buddha!"
"Shan Yuru?
So that's it, so that's it!" After hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Lang Fanyun's eyes sparkled, and then he clasped his fists and saluted Zhu Houzhao and said,"Thank you, Your Majesty, for avenging my deceased wife. I owe you two favors."
He didn't think Zhu Houzhao was deceiving him. As a swordsman who was half a step away from being a land immortal, Lang Fanyun could naturally feel Zhu Houzhao's mental state. If the other party was deceiving him, Lang Fanyun believed that he would be able to feel it.
"I hope you don't blame me for meddling in other people's business!" Zhu Houzhao chuckled,"If you can take revenge yourself, it won't be difficult for you to break through the Land God Realm."
Lang Fanyun shook his head and said,"It's not necessary. Xixi's death is a knot in my heart. I am willing to owe her a favor if I can avenge her." Zhu Houzhao understood for a while,"Lang Fanyun is really free and easy.
Then congratulations in advance on your breakthrough to the Land God Realm!"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind!"Lang Fanyun smiled bitterly and said,"Of course, if I can take revenge by myself, I still hope to take revenge by myself."
After a pause, Lang Fanyun asked Zhu Houzhao again,"Your Majesty, will you clean up the martial arts world in the future?" As soon as he said this, the Ghost King's Mansion became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
The forces on Zhu Houzhao's side stared at Lang Fanyun. If the other party had any bad moves, they would take action immediately, even if the person in front of them was Lang Fanyun.
"Clean up the Jianghu?" Zhu Houzhao chuckled,"Han Fei from the Qin Dynasty said it well: Confucians use literature to disrupt the law, and knights use force to violate the law.
Some time ago, I went to the Jianghu and found that many so-called heroes in the Jianghu were just people who got their reputations for nothing.
Many people without talent or virtue have gained great fame."
Lang Fanyun nodded slightly when he heard this. This was indeed the case. He was also a person who had been in the Jianghu, so he naturally knew what kind of people those people were in the Jianghu.
Some things, they just need to know themselves, and Lang Fanyun would not do it to clear the names of those people. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"I believe you all know about the previous Sun Moon Sect, which had 100,000 members and even participated in the Ning Wang Rebellion.
If these forces are controlled by some people with bad intentions, it will be a huge hidden danger for our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao paused and continued,"I believe that any emperor will be very concerned about the gang forces in his territory. Just like the Shaolin Temple in the Ming Dynasty, the fields around them are now under the name of Shaolin, and these fields are now exempt from taxes."
Lang Fanyun was silent when he heard this. He looked at Zhu Houzhao with a complicated expression and asked,"Are the forces of the rivers and lakes and the court necessarily in opposition?"
"That's not necessarily true. In this regard, Wudang Mountain is much better."Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said,"Wudang has always helped our Ming Dynasty resist the powerful men of the Mongols.
Although they have a lot of land under their name, most of these lands are like ordinary lands, paying taxes."
Lang Fanyun asked hurriedly,"If they pay taxes, they will not be hostile to the court?"
"Are you here for the 913 Nu Jiao Gang?" Zhu Houzhao also revealed a hint of realization:"I can actually guarantee this. As long as the Nu Jiao Gang pays taxes honestly, responds to the court, and controls its size, I can guarantee that no one will target the Nu Jiao Gang.
As for my guarantee, it is the guarantee of the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps other emperors need to worry about the issue of lifespan. Even if they make a decision, their descendants will overturn it.
But I believe in my strength and talent. Sooner or later, I can break through the land fairyland!"
Lang Fanyun was speechless when he heard this. He was only one step away from the Land God Realm. Lang Fanyun also believed that he could break through to the Land God Realm in a few months.
But now there is a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old saying that he can break through the Land God Realm. Lang Fanyun felt it was absurd.
However, seeing Zhu Houzhao's cultivation that has now reached the middle level of the celestial being, Lang Fanyun was speechless. Indeed, if Zhu Houzhao is not qualified to break through the Land God Realm, then there is probably no one in the entire Shenwu Continent who has the potential and qualifications to break through the Land God Realm.
