The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

"The master has not yet."

Qin Hao pondered for a moment. In fact, he had been busy with the spaceship these past few days, so he didn't care much about what was happening in Qingdu.

With power in hand, anything can be solved with a simple flick of the wrist.

Don't worry too much.

This is what is meant by "one force can overcome ten techniques".

As for the minor actions outside of Qingdu, he didn't pay much attention to them and didn't investigate them immediately.

These are all managed by subordinates.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

You can't do everything by yourself.

All sectors and all those below need to be mobilized.

Otherwise, I'll be working myself to death while everyone else sits around enjoying themselves?

He's not that stupid.

Talented individuals only have value when they are put to use.

Skills will become rusty if not used for a day.

If they are not used for a long time, they will all fall into disuse.

"Okay, proceed according to the established plan."

It doesn't really matter how much money I make.

The development of this world still requires the joint efforts of everyone.

He didn't want to bear the weight of the world.

Being a behind-the-scenes facilitator is the most suitable role for them.

So, Fan Xian, you still need to work harder.

"Ha shovel."

Fan Xian sneezed and immediately frowned.

He's already at the seventh rank of cultivation, with domineering true qi protecting his body, and he can even sense a bit of the yin and yang mechanism, so how could he sneeze?

This is a bit funny.

On Si Lili's boat, Fan Xian was rather annoying.

Who told him to plagiarize again?

Si Lili, this beautiful flower, really took a liking to Fan Xian and made him her intimate guest.

"Young Master Fan, the evening breeze on the river is rather chilly. I wonder..."

Si Lili didn't finish her sentence before slowly collapsing.

Fan Xian, who was lying motionless on the bed, chuckled and turned to get out of bed.

Looking back at Si Lili, he realized she was an adult, and this Jin Hua truly deserved the title of courtesan queen.

With such looks and talent, she's truly remarkable.

However, he is not fortunate enough to have that privilege today.

All he can think about now is the chicken leg girl.

He hadn't considered having children with multiple female confidantes.

Although his ideas have been assimilated, he will gradually become an ancient person with some modern memories.

Clan, family, and polygamy—it's not entirely incomprehensible.

It's still acceptable.

Having quietly reached the shore, Fan Xian sped along the road and found Guo Baokun returning home.

He didn't even bother to hide his identity before beating up Guo Baokun.

Qin Hao, who was out keeping watch in the distance, shook his head. This plan was really rather underhanded.

If you want to alert the enemy, why risk your own safety?

Of course, Fan Xian did this partly to extricate himself from the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

If possible, he also wanted to gain control of the inner treasury's finances.

As fellow time travelers, he pales in comparison to Qin Hao.

The money in my hand is not enough; I don't even have enough to eat a proper meal.

The new menu of Sihailou is now only available to Fan Xian.

But the dishes on that menu were really too expensive.

Fan Xian really wanted to ask, "We're from the same hometown, how dare you make so much money off me?"

Fan Xian, who was originally a bit lazy, had to start thinking about how to make money.

Internal storage seems to be the best solution?

He had thought about some of the many good things in the inner treasury before and knew some general methods.

But if he has to do it himself, there's nothing he can do.

But the internal warehouse has already been prepared in advance, and it is quite large.

Fan Xian felt that even if he joined in, he would most likely lose.

In that case, wouldn't it be better to just take control of the inner treasury directly?
With such a customer, he had no choice but to consider the Chicken Leg Girl.

It seemed as if a little voice was constantly shouting inside him.

Faced with the choice between money and love, how will he choose?
So when I made the move, it seems I used a little more force.

After he got home and went to sleep, he felt like he had forgotten something.

The next morning, the Jingzhao Prefecture sent men to arrest Fan Xian.

Fan Sizhe put on a show and cornered the man in the courtyard.

Aunt Liu also used a gentle rebuff to leave the other party speechless.

But if things aren't done well and the person can't be taken back, they won't be able to explain themselves.

"So, you can't afford to offend Guo Youzhi, but you think my Sinan Marquis's Mansion is easy to bully?"

It must be said that Aunt Liu was actually quite formidable.

However, Fan Xian wasn't worried at all. He had always wanted to see who was behind all this.

He wasn't too worried about offending the Crown Prince.

After all, there was no need to worry too much about what his father, Fan Jian, meant.

On the contrary, their family situation is not suitable for taking sides on the issue of the crown prince.

Fan Jian had actually sensed something. Although he didn't know that Emperor Qing was the fourth Grandmaster, he did know that Emperor Qing was in his prime and had no plans to pass on the throne for the time being.

As an emperor, what he fears most is that his successor is too powerful and threatens his own power.

For families like theirs, which have a long and distinguished history, staying out of royal affairs is more conducive to the continuation of the family line.

There are no dynasties that last for a thousand years, but there are aristocratic families that last for a thousand years.

Whether it's out of public interest or personal motives.

Fan Jian didn't seem to want to get involved.

Fan Jian didn't need this merit of following the emperor. Although his noble title wasn't very high and his official rank was only second grade.

But their power and influence are considerable.

Even Prime Minister Lin, who wielded immense power, did not have a significant advantage over Fan Jian.

Fan Xian also learned some things from the information Qin Hao had given him earlier.

In addition, he had been assassinated multiple times in Danzhou.

Fan Xian had a vague idea of ​​who his adversary really was.

Or rather, he knows who is on his opposite side.

He just couldn't quite believe it.

After a heated exchange, he successfully created rifts between himself and both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

It can be said that they neither helped either side, and even offended each other slightly.

Fan Jian summoned Fan Xian back and went into the study. Upon seeing Fan Xian, he said, "Do you know that after this incident, you have become mortal enemies with Guo Baokun and even Guo Youzhi?"

Guo Baokun had serious injuries.

Although he did not die, after being treated by the imperial physicians, he only needed to stay in bed for a period of time to recover.

But this suffering is inevitable.

Moreover, there's the matter of face, which is of utmost importance to aristocratic families.

Fan Xian's beating of Guo Baokun was itself a disgrace to Guo Youzhi.

The report was submitted to the Jingzhao Prefecture, and at first, they almost couldn't bring the person back.

After being arrested, he was released without charge.

That would be an even bigger loss of face.

For these people, the money spent on treating their injuries was nothing.

Each of them owned vast tracts of fertile land and countless businesses.

Shops and estates, aren't they all goose-in-the-coffin?

What's a little bit of silver?
Customers at Sihailou Restaurant never flinched when making purchases.

Of course, they were unaware that there was a new menu.

I don't know, that new menu isn't actually the final menu.

If they knew, they would definitely sigh, "They still don't have enough money to spend."

Fan Xian wasn't worried about Fan Jian's question at all: "It doesn't matter. Your worries are completely unnecessary. This also serves as a way of showing His Majesty that the Fan family has no intention of participating in the struggle for the throne. It's a way of showing our identity."

After a pause, Fan Xian continued, "Besides, Father, you have the Tiger Guard under your command and can also command the Red Armor Knights. If you don't take a stand in this struggle for the throne, that would be the biggest threat."

Ok?
Fan Jian was somewhat surprised that Fan Xian had actually identified the biggest threat in the officialdom.

Well, it's not that those people can't see it.

However, sometimes power can corrupt people's hearts.

The merit of following the dragon can cause trouble for some people.

How could Guo Youzhi not know these things?

However, Guo Youzhi felt that the Crown Prince's position was legitimate, he was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and Emperor Qing also valued him.

Although there are three princes vying for it, the chances of winning are generally very high.

So he wanted to compete.

Perhaps we could even get a hereditary title?
Official positions and such are all uncertain.

If descendants are not good at studying, they will not be able to support the family.

However, a title can be inherited.

Even without power, one can still retain wealth and status.

Guo Youzhi may well have had the idea of ​​becoming the next prime minister.

Fan Xian was slightly smug. After all, he was a time traveler. How could he not see it?

Of course, this was also because of the letter Qin Hao gave him, which allowed him to glimpse some of the waters of Qingdu.

He didn't feel anything until he fell in love.

After arriving, Fan Xian realized that the waters here were truly deep.

The father and son talked for a long time, and Fan Jian also sensed Fan Xian's progress.

But his actions were still crude and shallow.

Sometimes, we focus on the big picture but neglect the details, and there are many things we can't see.

As Emperor Qing's childhood friend, Fan Jian also helped him take charge of two armies.

Fan Jian's shrewdness is far beyond what Fan Xian can match.

After sending Fan Xian away, Fan Jian thought to himself, "He is your son. Can you really give up your ambitions?"

However, if he were to inherit your ambitions, danger would befall him again.

Why did you die?

Back then, all of them unexpectedly left Qingdu, leaving that woman alone in Taiping Villa.

When they returned, Ye Qingmei was already dead.

Emperor Qing then purged the Empress's entire family as a form of appeasement.

Fan Jian and his group had no choice but to accept it.

After all, besides Ye Qingmei, they also had their own families, and they couldn't completely abandon the constraints of their families.

Just like how Grandmaster Ye Liuyun had to submit to the Ye family.

Unlike Si Gu Jian, who sat alone in Dongyi City, ruling a separate territory.

Kuhe also did not concern himself with external affairs, focusing solely on spiritual cultivation.

However, the Northern Qi royal family still bestowed great favors upon them.

Haitang Duoduo, the disciple, was also bestowed the title of Saintess.

Because he had to take care of Fan Xian, Wu Zhu forgot many things.

Otherwise, they would have caused a huge uproar in Qingdu back then, right?

"What exactly is the reason?"

Fan Jian was very upset.

His inner self was ultimately different from Chen Pingping's.

Chen Pingping had no family, no wife or daughters.

Therefore, Chen Pingping spent many years preparing.

Fan Jian's situation is complex. Of course, in the original novel, Fan Jian ultimately chose to betray Emperor Qing.

He showed loyalty and respect to Ye Qingmei, a woman who looked down on all men. Her talent and ambition truly made Chen Pingping and Fan Jian admire her.

However, Fan Xian was probably also a reason why Fan Jian betrayed Emperor Qing.

After all, he was the son who had called him father for many years and was registered under his name.

With each step of this process, Fan Jian's feelings for Fan Xian will gradually intensify.

A few days later, Fan Xian finally made up his mind.

He can earn the money himself. When he meets Qin Hao, he can simply recount their friendship as fellow villagers.

Under the guise of "Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger," he refused to believe that the other party wouldn't break his bones.

As for how to make money, it's obviously through copying.

He's a liberal arts student; what could be easier than plagiarism?

As for whether I'll be in trouble when I meet Qin Hao?
Who cares about social death now?
He finally made up his mind to call off the engagement.

Fan Ruoruo asked curiously, "Brother, do you know that this is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty?"

This marriage isn't something that can be easily called off.

Besides, she's Prime Minister Lin's daughter, and also the illegitimate daughter of the Eldest Princess.

Given that Lin Wan'er is ill, would the other party be willing to let Fan Xian annul the engagement?
Although Fan Ruoruo was unaware that this might also involve the internal treasury's financial power.

Fan Xian laughed and said, "Don't worry, I deliberately offended the Crown Prince and the Second Prince before, so Prime Minister Lin will not be willing to continue the marriage alliance with me."

Needless to say, the eldest princess was even more reluctant to give up her power.

Now all Lin Wan'er needs to do is cooperate; everything else will be taken care of.

Fan Ruoruo, being quick-witted, immediately understood: "So, the previous incident was something you deliberately made a big fuss about, brother."

She is also a famous talented woman in Qingdu, how could she not know these things?

I just hadn't thought of it before, but now that I understand, I naturally know.

However, Fan Ruoruo still decided to cooperate with Fan Xian. Why should Fan Xian, with his talent, get involved with Lin Wan'er, this sickly beauty?

If it were Fan Xian's own choice, Fan Ruoruo wouldn't say anything more.

But since Fan Xian was unwilling, she, as his younger sister, naturally cooperated wholeheartedly.

Fan Ruoruo went ahead to meet Lin Wan'er, and they went to the royal villa to wait for each other.

Fan Xian naturally set off after Teng Zijing, but an accident occurred when they passed through Niulan Street.

The appearance of Cheng Jushu brought Fan Xian to the brink of death.

Wu Zhu was out on business and was not in Qingdu at all.

Moreover, with Qin Hao's promise, Wu Zhu had no worries about Fan Xian's safety at all.

Grandmasters disdain lying, and Wu Zhu listened carefully to what Qin Hao said to his face, confirming that Qin Hao harbored goodwill towards Fan Xian.

There are many suspicious points surrounding Ye Qingmei's death.

Wu Zhu also wanted to go and see what was going on.

This is what Wu Zhu himself wants to know, and it's also what Fan Xian has been investigating all along.

"Death calamity, is this the death calamity?"

Fan Xian was taken aback and tried his best to resist.

He had to unleash all his domineering true energy, including the true energy within the snow mountain behind his waist.

But that's still not enough.

Teng Zijing was already seriously injured, and he was no match for his opponent.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation; in the past, he had always been the one to fight against the strong with the weak.

He relies on the domineering power of his powerful true energy and his strong physical body.

He always fought against opponents of higher ranks.

When I was a sixth-rank, I could kill a seventh-rank.

He's already at the seventh rank, yet he's no match for this eighth-rank person?
"What a force."

Fan Xian was greatly surprised to be defeated by Cheng Jushu once again.

He knew, of course, that Cheng Jushu's moves were not particularly sophisticated; he relied solely on his immense strength.

"This person actually possesses superhuman strength."

Martial artists are inherently strong, and with the aid of their inner energy, they can do many things that ordinary people cannot imagine.

However, the difference between them lies not only in their internal energy but also in the sophistication of their techniques.

The person in front of him had incredibly crude moves, but his physical body was extremely tough, clearly indicating that he had also practiced some kind of external martial arts.

In addition, he was already an eighth-rank martial artist and possessed superhuman strength.

Even a ninth-rank master would have a hard time defeating him.

Among the seventh-rank, he might be able to contend with an eighth-rank due to the characteristics of his domineering true qi.

But this does not include Cheng Jushu.

His strength was too high, and he was extremely strong. Both he and Teng Zijing were at a disadvantage here.

"Am I going to die?"

Fan Xian was saddened and worried. Was Teng Zijing, who had a wife and daughter, going to die here?

How can he face Teng Zijing?

How will his wife and daughters live in the future?
“I said that the force he suffered would go underground.”

A warm voice rang out.

Teng Zijing felt a tremendous force fall on him, and he thought he was going to vomit blood.

But as the force touched him, Teng Zijing felt a power transferring it through his body to the ground beneath his feet.

The earth, with its vastness, bears all things.

At this moment, Teng Zijing felt this very directly.

This?
Teng Zijing was shocked, but he had not forgotten that he was still in the midst of a battle.

Next, Cheng Jushu kept hitting Teng Zijing with his arm, but Teng Zijing seemed to be completely unaffected.

Cheng Jushu roared. He felt that the person opposite him was only at the peak of the sixth rank, just a little short of breaking through to the seventh rank.

But their strength is average, unless they run away.

He wouldn't need more than a few punches to kill him outright.

Moreover, the manner of their death was absolutely gruesome.

Right now, he still thinks the other person will die from that punch.

Surprisingly, the opponent was completely unharmed by that seemingly fatal punch.

Moreover, he also felt that his strength had been transferred.

Compared to the earth, his strength was utterly insignificant.

However, many stone slabs on the street are still broken.

Teng Zijing also noticed that the stone slab beneath his feet was constantly breaking.

Fan Xian was also helping out, or rather, he was also the main target of the attack.

“I said, he has ten layers of armor on his body.”

Besides having some of the force transferred, Fan Xian also felt as if he had been given additional protection.

“I said, the protective armor can bounce back.”

Cheng Jushu felt that part of the force of his punch was diverted and part was protected.

Then, some of it bounced back and hit him.

Despite his strong physique, he wasn't worried about this punch at all.

However, if things continue like this, I will not be able to succeed in what I want to do.

How embarrassing!

Moreover, he knew the consequences of failing to complete the mission.

While fighting the enemy, Fan Xian is also searching for Qin Hao.

The voice was both cool and gentle.

He remembered clearly that he was also questioned by this voice at the Prince Jing's residence that time.

At the time, I thought this person was really mean.

Now, however, they felt that the voice was very gentle, like a clear spring that nourished their hearts.

I just experienced a life-threatening situation.

This voice protected them.

"Is this the essence of Confucianism and Taoism?"

Such a thought actually popped into Fan Xian's mind.

He still has the mind to think about these things.

Cheng Jushu had the same idea; Fan Xian found the other party, and Cheng Jushu felt the same way.

Don't let his muscular physique fool you; he doesn't seem to have much brains.

But actually, he's quite intelligent; at least his intuition is very strong.

She was dressed in green and holding a fan in her hand.

Fan Xian thought this guy was a bit of a show-off.

She looked as if she were strolling leisurely in a garden; her demeanor was simply superb.

But in Cheng Jushu's eyes, that man's demeanor was just like that of a teacher at an academy.

"It's all you!"

Cheng Jushu didn't hesitate at all and turned around to attack Qin Hao.

He even stopped caring about Teng Zijing and Fan Xian.

These two are indeed formidable, but they are no match for him.

His physical body was so strong that he didn't even need to wear armor.

That thing will only affect his actions.

"Be careful."

Fan Xian didn't know what the power of Confucianism and Taoism was, although he had heard Uncle Wu Zhu mention it before, saying that the other party was a grandmaster.

Uncle Wuzhu didn't reveal the outcome of that battle, but Fan Xian guessed that Uncle Wuzhu must have won.

After all, Uncle Wuzhu is a seasoned grandmaster, while the other party is just a young man.

Although Fan Xian still suspects that Qin Hao is actually an old guy who has regained his youth.

The other party may have many wicked tastes, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they are inherently malicious.

He knew the immense power of this giant tree.

He shouted it out instinctively.

However, Qin Hao did not listen to the advice at all.

He didn't even move.

Fanning himself with his fan, Qin Hao said softly, "I said, entangle."

Beneath the stone slab, countless vines grew out and entwined the giant tree.

One vine won't do; Cheng Jushu's strength is immense. Even if it's entangled by vines, he'll uproot it along with the stone slab.

Then, they continued charging towards Qin Hao.

But there were too many vines from all directions, which tightly entangled Cheng Jushu.

If one isn't enough, then ten will do.

If ten won't work, then a hundred will do.

The resilience of plants is beyond your imagination.

People often use the proverb "When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break metal" to teach their children.

If you can break one chopstick, what about ten? Or a hundred?
Right now, Qin Hao is putting on a show for everyone. What seems like the simplest vines, vines that break easily when pulled, are able to trap an eighth-rank expert with innate superhuman strength.

"this?"

Is this what Confucianism and Taoism are all about?

Fan Xian was greatly surprised.

The same goes for Teng Zijing.

"What is this? Is this the power of God?"

It's no wonder Teng Zijing thought that way; the scene was just too bizarre.

"Confucianism and Taoism, is this all there is to it?"

Fan Xian muttered to himself.

He had wanted to turn back and help, but now he realized he didn't need to move.

They just opened their mouths and said a few words, and it seems like they've changed everything?

Cheng Jushu, this troublesome opponent, was reduced to ashes with just a few words.

Yeah, I'm really stuck.

No matter how strong a plant is, it can't match its resilience.

"What are you doing standing still?"

Qin Hao was speechless: "Why haven't you gone to inform the Capital Prefecture or the Surveillance Bureau yet?"

Qin Hao's cold voice brought Fan Xian back to his senses: "Alright, I'll notify the Surveillance Bureau immediately." (End of Chapter)
