Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 348, Liu Hong and Ku He, two great masters, took over and reached a consensus!

Ku He's place of recuperation soon arrived.

Si Lili was lying in the carriage, her legs were weak and she had difficulty walking.

Seeing this, Liu Hong asked Si Lili to stay in the carriage and prepared to go to the real negotiation site.

What he said to Si Lili before should have been conveyed to Liu Hong by his personal palace maid.

However, the interval was too short, and before Zhan Doudou and Ku He could think it through, Liu Hong had already arrived.

A lot of talk goes on at the negotiation table, but in the end, it’s all about fists.

Liu Hong, Gousheng and Yang Du were standing outside the lake. Zhan Doudou, wearing a women's skirt, was also looking at the world's number one grandmaster.

Ku He lay on the raft, letting the lake surge and floating in it.

"King Han, I didn't expect you to be here so soon."

The water in the lake began to surge, as if it had shape, opening its mouth and making sounds.

Liu Hong looked at the lake with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then it turned into admiration.

"When I stepped into this lake before, I didn't notice anything wrong. Now I understand that all the lake water is condensed by Tianyi Dao's true qi."

As long as Ku He lies on the lake, in this small world outside Shangjing, he will have an endless supply of true energy.

With 50% of the Grand Master realm, one can exert 90% of the full potential, which is almost the perfect strength of a Grand Master.

Even if the three greatest masters of the world were gathered together, Ku He would still be invincible on this lake.

But here, it is almost a holy place for Tianyi Taoists. Practicing Tianyi Taoist exercises and breaking through the realm is almost as easy as eating and drinking.

No wonder Haitang Duoduo was able to break through to the ninth level when she was only in her teens and was known as a person with heavenly veins.

But Liu Hong looked at Ku He without much expression.

Is this Ku He’s back-up plan?
It’s a pity that Ku He was seriously injured and his heart was shattered. He could only rely on his true energy to survive.

If he acted rashly, his true energy would not flow smoothly and Ku He would die instantly.

The lake's big mouth suddenly disappeared, and Ku He didn't say anything else.

The two of them just remained silent.

Why do you hate Liu Hong? This is natural. Liu Hong is a traitor. In order to break through to the Grandmaster level, no one can compete with him for the true energy.

Barrett aimed directly at Ku He.

But from the beginning to the end, Ku He had no good intentions, he was also plotting against Liu Hong.

He used the poison he had poisoned to make the territory conquered by Liu Hong a wedding dress for Northern Qi.

At this point, we can only say that Liu Hong is more skilled.

"King of Han, we can agree to your conditions! But you have to guarantee that after the marriage between the Liu and Zhan families, the crown prince will also have the right to inherit the Kingdom of Han."

Ku He did not directly ask Liu Hong to designate the crown prince as the heir apparent, as this was unrealistic.

Even if Liu Hong was willing to give up Northern Qi and split it into countless vassal states, he would not agree to this condition.

Ku He just wanted Liu Hong to treat them equally and have conditions for common competition.

Liu Hong pondered for a while and nodded slowly.

"Yes! But you should know that now that I am a Grandmaster, it is extremely difficult for me to have children."

Liu Hong had experimented on Zhan Pianpian many times, and each time he did not take any protective measures.

But Zhan Pianpian's stomach still hasn't moved until now.

Ku He chuckled, looking confident.

"Don't worry about that, King Han. After all, I am a grandmaster who has mastered the magic of Tianyi and Italian magic. I have this ability."

It just comes at a great cost.

Why not tell me this bitter point? Liu Hong also knows it.

Otherwise, this guy Ku He would have wanted to expand the Zhan family even though he was in his sixties or seventies.

The raft carrying Ku He flew towards the waterfall.

"King of Han, this is a gift from the marriage between the Liu and Zhan families. Do you dare to come over?"

Ku He seemed to have regained his former heyday, his whole body was shining with golden light, and his entire body seemed to be made of gold.

Countless amounts of true energy gathered at the heart, and the sound was like the beating of a huge bell.

For a moment, Liu Hong mistakenly thought that Ku He had returned to his heyday.

Then Liu Hong smiled and shook his head. It was just a last burst of energy. Looking at the inner sage and outer king's true energy, he was capable of both offense and defense.

If you can’t beat him, can’t you run away?
"Hahaha, since Master Ku He has invited me so warmly, wouldn't it be a waste of the elder's kindness if I don't go and have a chat?"

Liu Hong stepped lightly on the lake and river water and headed towards the waterfall.

Gousheng and Yang Du looked at each other, and finally sat outside the lake, waiting for the final negotiations between the two great masters.

No one knew where Zhan Doudou disappeared to, and Si Lili's carriage also disappeared without a trace.

Inside the waterfall, the rooms are simply furnished.

Ku He casually picked up two stone bowls, filled two bowls of waterfall water, and placed them on the stone table.

Although Ku He's current strength can be said to be the number one grandmaster, there was no fear in Liu Hong's eyes.

Instead, he calmly picked up the stone bowl and took a sip of the waterfall water.

Ku He stared at Liu Hong and then laughed.

"You are so lucky! You were born in Danzhou instead of Northern Qi. Otherwise, you would have been a minor official all your life."

"This is destiny, isn't it?"

Liu Hong didn't say much.

Even if he was in Northern Qi, he could still thrive by relying on flattery.

But there is no need to engage in meaningless arguments with Ku He, a dying man.

"King of Han, the system of Northern Qi should remain as it is. Don't change it. It can't be changed."

Perhaps Liu Hong will marry Zhan Doudou and become half a member of the Zhan family.

Ku He spoke sincerely, with a hint of pain in his eyes.

"Northern Qi... maybe that's it. Hard work won't make it better, and debauchery won't make it worse."

Most of the time, the Zhan family was exercising the power of the largest clan and negotiating with the other three clans, rather than exercising imperial power.

Because other states and counties are governed by people from major aristocratic families.

Following the unchanging ancestral system, you are given so many taxes and soldiers every year.

There is not a cent left! All the money was stuffed into the pockets of the aristocratic families.

If the emperor wants to impose heavy taxes and levies, then just replace him.

These aristocratic families regarded the people as their private property, so how could they allow the Emperor of Northern Qi to interfere?

This led to the situation that both the Northern Wei and Northern Qi seemed to be the largest countries in the world.

As a result, they suffered repeated defeats in battles against the Qing Kingdom because of the internal disunity.

The good is not thorough, and the bad is not thorough either.

Liu Hong listened to Ku He's statement without being distracted.

This is the conclusion drawn by the Grand Master after decades of observing the Northern Qi Dynasty. There is no reason to ignore it.

When Ku He talked about this group of aristocratic families, he felt a little helpless.

To some extent, Ku He was also a member of an aristocratic family, but the Zhan family became the royal family, and their interests conflicted.

"In fact, Northern Qi is not suitable for reform. There is another factor, your Tianyi Dao."

Liu Hong knocked lightly on the stone table, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction.

Emperor Qing looked down on Tianyi Dao, saying that its followers did not engage in production, were idle all day long, and only knew how to beg for a living.

This is only secondary.

Liu Hong's dissatisfaction with Tianyi Dao was that Ku He, as the national teacher, promoted Tianyi Dao among the people.

They made the common people believe in the afterlife, and that as long as they could endure this life, they would become descendants of aristocratic families in the next life. Instead, they divided people into different classes: ordinary people, poor families, aristocratic families, powerful families, and the royal family.

Each class is like a natural barrier, and the lower class people are not allowed to resist, in order to consolidate the imperial power.

It can be said that thanks to the spread of Tianyi Dao’s beliefs, the people of Northern Qi were immersed in a false afterlife and lost their will to resist.

When Ku He heard Liu Hong's words, he fell silent and just picked up the teacup and took a sip.

This was his own fault, and Ku He did not refute it.

There is a deeper factor. When Sean Ku went to the north to find the temple, he ate human flesh due to hunger and cold.

The two were divided into different classes, and the common people were no longer considered human beings, but animals.

What's wrong with eating animal meat?

This is the pain that I am hypnotizing myself with in my heart.

"Since the King of Han knows everything, do you still want to insist on reforming the Northern Qi? You should know that the reform in the South has not yet been completely completed."

Liu Hong's eyes became gloomy.

This is a perfect soil for reform. The lower class people believe in afterlife and allow the wealthy and powerful families to treat them like animals.

Ku He saw that Liu Hong didn't say anything and started laughing.

"King Han, you know it clearly, don't you?"

"You proposed one country, two systems to Dongyi City, so why didn't you propose one country, two systems to Northern Qi?"

This was the great trend of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which can be seen as the period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Liu Hong alone cannot change the situation at all.

"You won, why bother! The Northern Qi system will not change within 30 years."

Liu Hong slowly stood up and made a concession.

Let the South complete the reform first, and then coordinate and unify productivity and ideas.

As for the north, Liu Hong cannot take care of it for the time being.

As for future conflicts between the North and the South, after Liu Hong has slowly adjusted, perhaps Liu Heng can handle them, allowing him to accumulate experience to become emperor.

When Ku He saw that Liu Hong agreed, there was some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

The North and the South have completely different systems, concepts, and productivity, which can easily lead to conflicts.

If the later King of Han had handled the situation improperly, the north and the south would probably have split.

By then, with the crown princes from both Liu and Zhan's families, they would be able to establish a country in Northern Qi, declare independence, and break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Zhan Doudou's idea is very good, but the feasibility of Zhan Qi replacing Liu is still somewhat small.

Ku He was prepared to leave a basic base for the Zhan family.

As for whether Liu Hong saw it or not, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, even if the world falls into war again, it will be Liu Hong’s descendants fighting.

No?
No matter how much the meat fights, it will still rot in the same pot.

This is a naked conspiracy! Either Liu Hong forces the aristocratic families to rebel, or Liu Hong gives in and waits for the rapid expansion of the South's national strength before solving the problem.

Ku Heye slowly stood up, his face looking both sad and happy.

Now that both parties have reached an agreement, there is no need for him, the grandmaster, to linger on any longer.

The world will belong to Liu Hong.

Both Ku He and Emperor Qing were very clear about this.

Ever since Liu Hong resisted the pressure, implemented reforms, formed alliances and strived for opportunities for reform for the Han Kingdom.

This result was already determined.

Fortunately, Liu Hong was a rational and generous monarch. He was not as unreasonable as Emperor Qing.

He will give in!
Until the strength is accumulated enough, we will solve the problem with lightning speed.

"In that case, Master Ku He may begin."

Liu Hong spoke lightly, opened his arms, and countless true energy poured into his body.

Ku He looked at the Tianyi Dao martial arts that had been changed beyond all recognition and gave a bitter smile.

"Of course. The decisive battle is imminent. Our two families have become grasshoppers on the same rope. Of course I have to help you."

The water in the lake of the waterfall began to boil, as if it was boiling.

Countless white mists, under Ku He's control, filtered out the characteristics of Tianyi Dao's true qi and surrounded Liu Hong.

Liu Hong did not take it lightly. He absorbed it directly and refined and purified it again before absorbing it into his body.

Seeing Liu Hong being so careful, Ku He raised his eyebrows.

Liu Hong felt that every corner of his body was filled with countless true qi, filling the lack of true qi that had always existed.

After making sure everything was correct, he spoke slowly.

"A decisive battle? I don't think conquering Qing is a decisive battle."

Ku He's hands trembled and he almost couldn't control his true energy.

He looked at Liu Hong with horror and couldn't help but scold him in a low voice.

"You are crazy! No one dares to deal with it. The Grand Master is not invincible."

Liu Hong closed his eyes and did not get angry.

"It's not that I want to deal with it, but the reform has already begun. This is what I have been seeking all my life, and I will never give in."

Ku He's heart was pounding, but he still didn't give up the idea of ​​dissuading him.

"After all, it protected us and helped us to build our own civilization from savages who ate raw meat and drank blood. Moreover, it has many great masters."

The true energy became increasingly thinner, revealing Liu Hong's expressionless face.

"It holds us back from further progress and prevents the development of technology."

When Ku He heard Liu Hong's stubborn words, he burst into laughter.

"Why? You are just a grandmaster. Grandmasters can die too."

The true energy in the lake had been completely absorbed, leaving only Ku He's Vajra body and the heart that was materialized by the true energy.

Liu Hong stretched out his hand.

Ku He hesitated for a moment and then extended his hand.

With his hands pressed together, Liu Hong once again absorbed the power of this great master with the most powerful true qi.

The tone was light, but full of confidence.

"Ku He, why do you think I can't break through to the realm above Grandmaster?"

"You are bound by these rules and regulations, but I am not. Perhaps what can bind me is the more distant future."

Ku He's face, which had originally been rosy with radiance, gradually turned pale.

Finally, Liu Hong withdrew his hand, allowing the grandmaster to continue to survive for a few more days.

"King of Han, it turns out that we have all been deceived by you. Your five-year agreement is not a five-year agreement to unify the world at all."

Ku He panted and laughed sadly.

I laughed so hard that tears fell to the ground.

These four great masters thought that Liu Hong was afraid of them, so he made a five-year agreement and started the decisive battle.

But they didn't expect that Liu Hong didn't even regard them as opponents.

Liu Hong's gaze has already reached higher.

Ku He felt his vitality slipping away uncontrollably and smiled wistfully.

"King Han, you should understand that I still have true energy. Are you really not going to absorb it anymore?"

"Keep it for yourself!"

Liu Hong looked beyond the waterfall and spoke without turning his head.

"And you have a method to make the Grand Master give birth to an heir. Use it while you still have energy. You won't be able to hold on for much longer."
