As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 191: Wedding Night, Missing a Master
"Congratulations on your wedding, Master Ming. My master is the Wang family of the Southern Region, and they have specially sent me here to present you with a gift."

After the princess presented her gifts, a few more people wearing red turbans came. They also saluted Mingchen and spoke respectfully.

Put aside all the distracting interests and return to the most essential things.

Mingchen called Wang Huai "big brother", and Wang Huai also acknowledged the friendship between them.

What the other party said when Mingchen left Xiaoyao City was serious. Since Mingchen wanted to get married, he would naturally keep his word and send a gift.

However, fearing that it would embarrass Mingchen and cause a commotion, he did not reveal his identity.

Mingchen cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, big brother!"

There were also quite a lot of guests coming and going, including local relatives and friends and officials from Xiao Xinyue's side, and there were often some strangers among them.

Some people took a closer look at it, but did not investigate it in detail.

The arrival of this group of people did not attract much attention.

If others knew that Mingchen was getting married, not only did His Highness come to send gifts to celebrate, but even another powerful hero from thousands of miles away also came to send gifts, I don't know what they would think.

After the two kings fought, two more kings came to celebrate.

As time went on, the wedding was basically over.

When it came to the final stage, during the wedding banquet, everyone was saying polite words to each other and toasting each other.

Mingchen was not very interested in these people. He simply drank two glasses, pretended to be drunk, said goodbye and went to find his bride.

The rest of the matters will be fully handed over to Comrade Lao Ming.

On the wedding night, who would have the time to leave the beautiful and bubbly sister alone and brag to a few people who may not even recognize her?

……

The Ming Mansion was bustling with activity. People from all walks of life gathered in the courtyard to dine, eat to their heart's content, and clink glasses.

But the other room was exceptionally quiet.

The red candles flickered, the hibiscus tent was warm, and the butcher who killed people without blinking an eye on the battlefield put down his sword, wore a red dress and a red veil, and sat quietly in front of the wedding bed.

She was playing with her fingers idly, waiting for the person she had been thinking about. Today she would marry him and they would be together for the rest of their lives.

Time seemed to be passing extremely slowly at this moment.

She was both excited and nervous, recalling every beautiful moment of their acquaintance, understanding, and love for each other.

"Squeak~"

The hazy veil conceals his face, but as a powerful warrior, his five senses are very sharp.

The wind was blowing, and Ling Yu clearly felt that someone had entered the house.

He moved closer to her and sat in front of her.

Through the red veil, she could vaguely see the outline of the person.

She knew very well who would come in at this time.

"Plop! Plop!"

She could hear her heart beating faster.

Mingchen, wearing a festive groom's robe, pushed open the door and looked up to see the person sitting beside the wedding bed.

It had only been a year since they first met, and Mingchen had never imagined that the kind-hearted 'brother' in black whom he met on the street corner would wait for him to lift her veil under the light of flickering red candles.

Mingchen took a few steps forward, came to the curtain, and sat down next to the beauty.

"Guess who I am?"

He did not lift the veil, but moved forward, pressed his hand against Ling Yu's head, and said with a smile.

"I guess you're not a good person!"

A familiar smell came to his face, and Ling Yu couldn't help but laugh.

This man!

Even at this time, he still wanted to laugh and joke with her.

Then, the veil was lifted, and the villain with curved eyebrows came into view.

“So beautiful~”

Mingchen put down the veil in his hand, looked at the beauty in front of him, looked at her watery eyes, and was lost in thought for a moment, sighing unconsciously.

Sister Dai put on a lot of makeup today, and there was no trace of her usual tough and heroic look. Her face was white and tender, her eyes were as charming as autumn waves, and her eyelashes were blinking as if they could speak.

The bright eyes reflected Mingchen's face, and the friendship contained in them seemed to be able to make people indulge in the past.

Who could have thought?

This beauty is the invincible murderer on the battlefield.

The brothel is so beautiful and stunning that even the most beautiful courtesan who has attracted countless talented men would probably lose some of her charm in front of such a beauty.

He reached out his hand and gently placed it on Ling Yu's cheek, as if he was touching some beautiful work of art: "My wife, my wife, you are so beautiful..."

"Hu... Husband..."

In such an environment, Ling Yu seemed a little uncomfortable with the change in her status. Her pretty face turned red and her words became broken.

I was curious when we first met, became dependent on each other after getting along, my love grew stronger day by day, and my heart was pounding... and now I am wearing a wedding dress and a golden hairpin, with a rosy face, and I finally promised him that I would be with me.

"Hey~ my lady!"

"Hehe, sister, you finally call me husband!"

Although he had done a lot of happy things, this was the first time Ling Yu called him like this.

Mingchen also felt a little strange. Looking at his shy sister Dai, he couldn't help smiling with a smug look on his face.

He made jokes to ease the tense atmosphere.

This is the first time I have gotten married in my two lifetimes.

how to say?

Mingchen also felt quite wonderful, with concern and joy.

Marrying the person you love is something worth rejoicing about.

Mingchen seems to be a bit dissolute, casual, romantic and passionate, but whether in his past life or this life, he has a kind of romanticism that is not understood by the world.

People don't necessarily have to get married, but if they want to get married and form a lifelong bond, they must like each other very much.

Being vague and getting together due to various pressures is irresponsible to each other.

"..."

Ling Yu glared at the smug man in front of her with a coquettish look.

However, the joy was so intense that she couldn't help herself.

"Are you hungry, sister?"

After all, Sister Dai has been waiting here for a while.

Mingchen leaned over and gently touched the beauty's lips, then asked in a gentle voice.

"Not hungry."

Mingchen said jokingly, "Well, I'm hungry. I was anxious to see my wife, so I didn't eat or drink with those guys outside. Let's eat something together!"

Next up is physical work. How can I do that without eating more and replenishing my energy?
Only after eating a full meal can you have the energy to exercise.

He took Ling Yu's hand and came to the table.

Now it was just the two of them. Mingchen picked up his chopsticks, took a mouthful of food, and said to Lingyu, "Come on, open your mouth."

The intimate behavior made Dai Jiejie, who was usually independent and strong, feel a little helpless.

Her red lips opened and closed, and the chopsticks gently pressed against her lips, which seemed to have a bit of inexplicable meaning.

When I looked up, I saw the man's smirk.

"Let's drink~"

Mingchen shook the wine glass, and the fragrant aroma of wine filled his face.

Ling Yu loves wine and has drunk with Mingchen many times.

But this time it was a little different. They put their arms around each other, their eyes reflecting each other's appearance, and took a sip of the wine in their hands, which flowed into their hearts and spread out, as if emitting a burning heat in their hearts.

Hand over a glass of wine.

"Oops~"

"drunk!"

Ling Yu had never seen Mingchen drunk before.

This time, after drinking a glass of wine, the unlucky guy smiled mischievously and performed exaggeratedly: "Sister, it's time, let's go to bed~"

After the wedding night, what should we do next?

Even a fool can guess what this bad guy is thinking.

Ling Yu: ...

Today is a special day.

Ling Yu seemed unable to control his emotions, and his heart was beating extremely violently.

"Whoo~"

He blew out the flickering flame of the wedding candle in one breath.

Mingchen is in good health and has excellent eyesight. The room is quiet at night and he can see the shy face of his sister Dai and her broad mind.

It had been a long time since Ling Yu had worn men's clothes, and it had also been a long time since she had bullied their common property.

I don’t know if it was Mingchen’s illusion, but after so much hard work, he should have grown a little.

I wonder if Sister Dai can see her toes if she lowers her head.

Mingchen has always been a member of a huge sect!
All members of the Peaceful World sect are heretics!
Tonight is destined to be extraordinary. When people are enjoying peace, a war breaks out.

Ling Yu was an outstanding general, who was particularly good at relying on terrain and water resources to attack.

At night, the wind and clouds rose, and suddenly the two armies started fighting.

The rain was pouring down, the flood broke the dam, submerged the forest and destroyed the city.

For a moment, the general was horrified and his army was defeated.

The little red bird stood aside, its bright red color particularly suiting today's day. Watching the two armies fighting back and forth, it couldn't help but applaud and wished it could join in.

The magic power flows, the body moves.

The silver moon cast a faint glow, falling on the bird.

At some point, the little bird's body grew bigger and gradually turned into a different appearance.

The long white hair fluttered in the wind, and the feathers and wings that could not be erased at the beginning had turned into smooth white arms and legs.

She touched her body with satisfaction and nodded secretly.

I've been studying for so long...it's about time.

What can you think of?

……

A hundred miles away, Ji Qu.

The city has become increasingly bustling in recent days, with people coming from several surrounding states, counties, and cities.

The empress is about to ascend the throne and be crowned. This trend has already been created and cannot be stopped.

Even if Xiao Xinyue doesn't want to be king now, the surrounding counties and ministers will not allow it.

Ji Qu, a city that has developed in obscurity for several years, is about to become famous all over the world and attract countless people's attention.

Some of the people who came to this city at this moment wanted to see the famous empress being crowned as king, while others had other purposes.

At night, the moon is like a hook and the evening breeze is cool.

After finishing a day's work, Xiao Xinyue stretched, stood up from the chair, walked to the window, and looked into the distance.

The wind blew the green leaves flying in the air.

Today is the playboy's wedding day, and he must have received her gift by now.

I forgot to remind you.

Ling Yu is a powerful general who is invincible on the battlefield. He must have great strength.

Mingchen is a weak scholar. Although he knows some strange tricks, he is probably weak himself.

I wonder if Ling Yu will be considerate of Ming Chen and not harm his health...

……

Yueyang City,
Compared with the peaceful and prosperous scene of Qingzhou, this place, as a political and economic center for hundreds of years, presents a completely different picture.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and the wind is blowing. The once bustling streets are now deserted and there are few smiles on the faces of passers-by.

Those who indulge in a life of wealth and luxury, even the most dull-witted people, are now gradually beginning to taste some of its charm.

Only four months after the previous king passed away, there were rumors that the new king would abdicate.

Ever since the death of the previous king, the escape of the second princess, and the ascension of the new king, the people of Kyoto have been keeping the rumor of a thief stealing the country a secret.

Now, with the fog cleared, everything seemed to be laid out in plain sight. If one still couldn't figure out what the powerful father-in-law was up to, then one could just run into a wall and die.

People have been in a panic in recent days, and those whose ancestral home is in other places have left the capital.

The situation in Qianyuan was already in chaos, and the rebels in the south were coming in with great force and had not yet been suppressed.

There are enemy countries in the north eyeing us covetously.

At this critical juncture, if the traitor doesn't pretend and directly seizes the artifact, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the world.

After some time, soldiers from all over the world gathered here.

No matter what the outcome is, people at the bottom of society will ultimately be caught up in their fate and cannot see any hope for tomorrow.

"Master Dong, what are you doing?!"

"We agreed to support the new emperor as king and use him to rule the world. You will be the father-in-law of the country and I will be the general. That's why I decided to help you!"

"How dare you do such a treasonous thing?"

"The whole world is rebelling and besieging Yueyang. What should we do?"

"In the future, the pen of history will be as hard as iron. Your and my plot to usurp the throne will surely be recorded in the annals, and we will be cursed by countless generations to come."

"How can you and I be worthy of this?!"

"Do you know what you are doing?!"

……

Xiao Anhong's third abdication edict has arrived at Dong's house. Dong Zhenghong is sitting on the Diaoyutai with a teacup in his hand.

This time he was going to agree and had already ordered his loyal followers to start the abdication ceremony.

A storm was about to come, and an invisible dark wind enveloped the entire capital.

At this moment, a sturdy general in military uniform strode in.

He was emotional and came in anger, and seemed to have no respect for the old man in front of him who had great power.

Instead, he widened his eyes and asked in a questioning tone.

He is the commander of the Yueyang Imperial Guards, General Jiang Jingtao.

Since the time of Xiao Yu, the Kyoto Imperial Guards have been under his jurisdiction and are deeply entrenched. Even after Xiao Zhengyang came to power, the time was too short to take him down.

The reason why Dong Zhenghong dared to launch a palace coup, purge the royal family, and support Xiao Anhong to take the throne...

This is also thanks to the alliance support of the general in front of him.

So naturally, he had the confidence to rush in and confront Dong Zhenghong head-on.

Ultimately, strength is the core of maintaining rule.

Only with soldiers can you have control over everything.

The two formed an alliance and brought about the current situation.

After they agreed to cooperate, they shared the glory.

Dong Zhenghong was in charge of the court and was a powerful official second only to him.

Jiang Jingtao commanded the troops, supported Dong Zhenghong, and sat firmly in the second position in the court. He held the highest official rank and great power.

But... he never thought of usurping the throne or changing the dynasty.

Dong Zhenghong is simply crazy for doing this now.

Five hundred years have passed since the Qianyuan period, and many concepts have become deeply rooted and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Jiang Jingtao has some ambitions, but they are not big. He cannot be a minister who destroys his country. He cannot bear the infamy of the country's demise. He dare not face the iron pen of history after his death.

If Dong Zhenghong really succeeded and the New Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, that would be fine.

But what if it doesn’t work?

His family will surely be destroyed, and his ancestral graves will probably be dug up by future generations.

The country is now in chaos, facing internal and external difficulties.

The Blood-Clothed Army in the south is difficult to deal with. How can we establish a new dynasty in this turbulent time and risk the disapproval of the world?

"General Jiang, don't worry."

"I am not stupid yet."

The boss also did this during this period.

If he did not attend court, all kinds of affairs would pile up and the court would be in chaos.

Old Dong stayed at home, waiting for Xiao Anhong's two abdication edicts.

If I don't think too much, my mood will be much calmer.

He put down his teacup and waved to the general who was coming towards him aggressively, motioning him to sit down.

"Humph!"

Jiang Jingtao snorted coldly and sat aside.

The servant brought him a cup of tea.

"General, the new emperor is as dumb as a pig and unfit for any important task. Keeping him around is nothing but a waste of energy and national resources."

"He is extravagant and lustful, indulging in pleasure, and not concerned with state affairs. Do the ministers not know that the new ruler is not virtuous? Does the world not know that the new ruler is not virtuous?"

"The throne belongs to those with talent and virtue. If he feels he lacks the ability, what's wrong with him abdicating to me?"

"The world will only say that I am wise!"

"I quit twice, isn't that enough?"

"This move is legal and reasonable. I am the legitimate successor to the new dynasty. What's the problem?"

"He, Wang Huai, was born into a rebellious family. He killed, plundered, and was rude and unreasonable. Yet, he could still carve up land, crown himself a king, and establish himself as an emperor."

"Why can't I be justified?"

Old Dong is a man who has made his way through the court. He can turn black into white and death into life with his mouth.

His eyes were blazing and his voice was resounding, as if what he was doing was just and as if everything was as it should be.

He even convinced himself.

"you!"

Jiang Jingtao drank the tea in one gulp like a cow chewing a peony.

After hearing these fantastic words from Old Dong, I felt that he was crazy.

He was a general from the military, destined to be tongue-tied, but his heart was not as evil as Dong Zhenghong. He was so angry that he opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to argue.

Dong Zhenghong lowered his eyes and looked at him calmly: "General, what are you worried about? When I inherit the throne, I will give you nothing less! You are still the general, you are still the backbone of the country!"

"What do you mean by legitimate? This is an attempt to usurp the throne!"

"You're crazy!"

"boom!"

Jiang Jingtao felt that this old man was crazy about wanting to be emperor.

He slammed the table and stood up, staring at the old man with his eyes wide open: "Master Dong, you are on a path of no return."

"I'm sorry, Jiang, I can't accompany you anymore!"

"From now on, we will cut ties. I have nothing to do with you anymore!"

He decided to be a fence-sitter, standing aside and watching, and then he would invest in whichever side was suitable.

Just stood up.

Old Dong narrowed his eyes, and looked at him with a dangerous look: "General Jiang, what do you call me?"

This general is also an idiot.

Once you get into this trap, how can you get out so easily?
What else could he do if he escaped?

What a fool!

"I?"

"Master Dong, you..."

Jiang Jingtao was even amused by Old Dong's self-proclaimed title.

However, just as he was about to say something, his anger subsided, and his eyes began to spin, making him feel dizzy.

Severe pain spread from his abdomen, and he stared at the crazy old man in front of him with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You poisoned me?!"

He raised his hand with great effort, his fingers trembling slightly, and pointed at Dong Zhenghong: "You, you are crazy..."

The words have not yet fallen.

"thump!"

He fell to the ground, his face blue and purple, and he was lifeless.

Dong Zhenghong looked calm and remained seated throughout the entire process without moving an inch.

Some people just don't know themselves.

In this era, evil people may not necessarily die, good people may not necessarily die, but stupid people will.

A cold wind howled through the hall.

A strange person in a black robe, neither male nor female, floated into the lobby.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your long-cherished wish has come true."

He knelt on one knee in front of Dong Zhenghong, his voice like a broken gong.

Now, he has already called Dong Zhenghong "Your Majesty", but he is much smarter than Jiang Jingtao.

"How did things go?"

"The Tongyou Palace has been repaired."

Tong Wuchang bowed to Dong Zhenghong and said, "When Your Majesty ascends the throne, you will be able to offer sacrifices to the underworld with the help of ghosts, gods, and demons, and millions of ghosts."

"it is good!"

What Jiang Jingtao said was indeed correct.

Dong Zhenghong is indeed crazy.

He has no way out. He wants to live, he wants power, he wants the supreme position, and he wants his family to be rich and prosperous.

He madly put all his chips on the line and could only follow this alchemist until the end.

He pointed at Jiang Jingtao, who was lying on the ground, lifeless, and said, "Can you take care of him? I still need his soldiers."

"Of course you can."

Tong Wuchang smiled sinisterly.

He took a few steps forward and came to Jiang Jingtao.

With a casual cut on his body, a huge gash suddenly appeared on his chest and abdomen, and blood gushed out.

He dipped his black-nailed fingers in the bright red blood and with a casual stroke of his brush, he drew unknown runes on Jiang Jingtao's body.

[Soul-pulling Puppet Secret Technique]

Time flies, and Tong Wuchang wrote so densely that it took him an hour to finish the work.

Just as he finished writing, he pinched the seal in his hand, pressed it with one hand, and whispered, "Get up!"

A cold wind blew, and the general, who should have been dead, trembled all over and jumped up from the ground.

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

He had a blank expression on his face, his lips moving, and he repeated it several times before finally finding his original tone.

He didn't say a word when he was alive, but after his death he called Dong Zhenghong "Your Majesty" several times.

Dong Zhenghong watched from the side, but his expression darkened.

"Tong Wuchang, what exactly do you want to do?"

This person has endless means, unknown background, and unknown purpose.

If he can treat Jiang Jingtao like this, then he can treat him the same way.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. I am here to help you."

Tong Wuchang shook his head, his eyes grim, and said something that Dong Zhenghong didn't quite understand: "Nine is the extreme, and ten directions are perfection."

"Five Lords and Nine Imperial Guards, but one Imperial Guard Master is still missing."

"Now the world has begun a great catastrophe, the destiny of heaven is in chaos, heroes emerge, take advantage of the chaotic times to rise, overcome difficulties, dominate the rise and fall, and ascend to the realm of the supreme."

"If Your Majesty succeeds, in life, you will be the common ruler of the human world, supreme and almighty; in death, your soul will return to the underworld, and you will be the immortal God."

Tong Wuchang's eyes were red, revealing a strange enthusiasm: "I have seen the will of the Holy Lord of the Netherworld, and I only wish to lend you a helping hand and take off with the wind."
