Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

When Bai Jian led his army eastward, the first to feel the pressure was Zheng, which was closest to Liang.

After years of encroachment, the State of Zheng was reduced to only one prefecture, Xinzheng.

Now that Wei Wuji has been dismissed, the alliance has completely failed.

Under pressure, Zheng State hastily sent Xu Daoyun to Guanzhong and presented her to King Zheng of Liang in order to secure temporary peace.

After the Zheng delegation was dismissed, Luo Zheng received Xu Daoyun in his private quarters.

"Daoyun pays her respects to Your Majesty."

Xu Daoyun smiled and bowed to Luo Zheng.

However, the cunning glint in her eyes revealed that she didn't hold much respect in her heart.

But that's to be expected.

After all, she and Luo Zheng were old acquaintances.

"That's enough. It's just the two of us here, let's stop with the formalities."

Luo Zheng waved his hand.

The two knew each other inside and out, so he didn't bother putting on airs anymore.

"Who told you to be the King of Liang now? Of course, people have to be very polite to you so that you won't bully them in the future."

Xu Daoyun blinked her eyes.

He immediately raised his head and boldly looked Luo Zheng up and down.

"It's been a long time. I feel that Your Majesty's aura has changed a lot. Your imposing presence is colder and heavier than before."

"Didn't you say so? Who told me I'm the King of Liang?"

Luo Zheng casually brushed it off.

Xu Daoyun was right; compared to a year ago, Luo Zheng's aura had become much more violent.

But it had nothing to do with him becoming the King of Liang.

The root cause is that the curse brought by the [Possessed by Evil Spirits] talent is gradually eroding Luo Zheng's spirit.

In other words, Luo Zheng's willpower was strong enough that he forcibly became immune to the backlash of the curse.

But even so.

His aura was still affected, becoming much more sinister and terrifying.

Needless to say, the court officials, and even Zhao Ji and Xia Ji, instinctively restrained their intimacy.

"Speaking of which, was the dismissal of Lord Wujing (Li Qi) and Lord Xinling (Wei Wuji) part of your scheme?"

Luo Zheng asked Xu Daoyun out of curiosity.

I casually patted the empty seat next to me, inviting the other person to sit down and chat.

Xu Daoyun rarely showed any hesitation.

"This is the throne of the King of Liang. Is it really alright for me to sit with you?"

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but you're only starting to worry about this now? Besides, you're already one of my people, so just sit down when I tell you to."

Luo Zheng looked down on Xu Daoyun.

They were riding and sitting together before, but now they're holding a grudge.

"Okay, okay... How domineering..."

Xu Daoyun muttered something under her breath, but finally sat down next to Luo Zheng.

Her pretty face was slightly flushed.

She told Luo Zheng about the Nine Kingdoms of Kanto.

"I told you to slow down your attack because I heard something from my brother..."

It turns out that Xu Daoyun's elder brother, Xu Xian, had received instruction from a reclusive master and traveled the world; he was an exceptionally intelligent man.

Last year, Xu Daoyun was at home when the other party drowned his sorrows in alcohol.

Suddenly, he told her that the world was beyond saving.

With treacherous officials in power in various countries, even if Liang does nothing, they will bring about their own destruction.

Rather than waiting for the world to descend into chaos.

It would be better to let the Liang Kingdom gain control of the country first.

"Does Your Majesty understand what I mean?"

Xu Daoyun blinked.

"He's using you as a pretext to help me seize power."

Luo Zheng wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that Xu Xian was deliberately saying these things to Xu Daoyun.

Moreover, Luo Zheng also knew Xu Xian.

In his predetermined fate, Xu Xian had once conspired with others to assassinate Liang Wang Zheng, who was on an eastern tour.

He is very likely one of the chosen ones of this world.

in other words.

Xu Xian is an enemy, not a friend.

He must have had another purpose in helping Luo Zheng this time.

"Your Majesty, it would be best to attack the State of Zheng as soon as possible."

Xu Daoyun said solemnly.

Luo Zheng winked and gave a mischievous smile.

"What? Because Zheng sold you to me, you want revenge?"

"What are you talking about?!"

Xu Daoyun rolled her eyes at Luo Zheng.

Then, her face flushed slightly, and she began to stammer.

"I...I've been ready for a long time to marry you..."

As she spoke, Xu Daoyun handed Luo Zheng an ancient scroll.

"What is this?"

Luo Zheng looked at the ancient scroll, on which were written three characters in classical Chinese.

The Taiyi Jing.

"The Yellow River produced the Hetu (River Map), and the Luo River produced the Luoshu (Book). My elder brother received the Hetu and Luoshu from a celestial being, and now I entrust them to you."

Xu Daoyun's face was still flushed as she stared intently at Luo Zheng.

"Consider it part of my dowry..."

"..."

Luo Zheng's gaze towards Xu Daoyun changed.

What the hell!

This is my younger sister!

Does your brother know how much of a jerk you've put him in?

……

Regardless, Xu Daoyun entered the Xianyang palace and became Luo Zheng's fourth wife.

Luo Zheng also decided to launch a swift attack on the State of Zheng.

Bai Jian ordered Teng Mian to lead a detachment to strike directly into the heart of Zheng.

Without the aid of other countries, Zheng's resistance was virtually nonexistent.

Teng Mian finally lived up to expectations, capturing Xinzheng in just over a month.

King Zheng set himself on fire in the palace.

The fire raged for three days and three nights before it was finally extinguished.

The entire Zheng Palace was reduced to ruins.

The Zheng state, which lasted for hundreds of years, thus became history.

Thus, Zheng became the first of the ten states during the Spring and Autumn Period to be destroyed.

Its demise.

It also sounded the death knell for other countries.

After conquering Zheng, the Liang warriors did not stop their advance.

Bai Jian personally led an army of 300,000 north to attack Tang, with Yang Zheng leading an army of 100,000 as support.

Teng Mian continued eastward, leading an army of 100,000 to attack the Liang Kingdom.

Now.

The rest of the countries were forced to pull their heads out of the mud.

They accepted the reality that the Liang Kingdom intended to annex them.

On the Tang side, under pressure, the Tang emperor had no choice but to reinstate Li Qi and Lian Jing.

Li Qi was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and ultimately led the border cavalry to resist Bai Jian's offensive.

Lian Jing was ostracized and sent to the State of Wei.

He was recently assassinated by assassins from the Liang Kingdom and died tragically.

Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, was also assassinated along with him.

Upon hearing this, Liang Wangzheng, who had committed such a crime, laughed in anger.

"Trying to frame me again, huh? Can't you come up with a different tactic?"

Unfortunately, he had a bad reputation in Guandong and was frequently criticized by various schools of thought.

Take the burning of Xinzheng as an example. It was clearly because the King of Zheng had gone mad and was bewitched by the national advisor, wanting to sacrifice the entire city's inhabitants to perish together with the Liang army.

Only because the Liang army led by Teng Mian stopped them in advance did they resort to burning the city in desperation.

When the news got out, it became known that Liang Wang Zheng burned Xinzheng.

They couldn't clarify it even if they wanted to.

In response, the curse on Luo Zheng became even more intense.

However, Luo Zheng couldn't care less about that.

On the one hand, without Xuanluo, none of the remaining mediocre generals on their side were reliable.

Bai Jian's 300,000-strong army was well defended by Li Qi and could not gain any advantage.

Teng Mian followed the script and confronted the Wei Wu soldiers at Daliang.

Everyone is looking for a breakthrough.

On the other hand, Luo Zheng's harem was on fire.

……

Ever since Xu Daoyun married into the palace, Luo Zheng has liked to go to Xu Daoyun's palace to slack off whenever he has free time.

The place was quiet and secluded, and Xu Daoyun often sat by the window reading.

Luo Zheng could then rest nearby.

There are no constraints, and no need for intrigue.

In addition, Xu Daoyun was well-educated and polite, yet unconventional and a bit quirky.

Luo Zheng sometimes found himself surprisingly compatible with the other person during conversations.

But that's how it is.

He naturally spent less time visiting the other concubines.

Especially the fickle ginger.

The woman couldn't stand the loneliness and openly came to compete with Xu Daoyun for his favor.

Well known.

Xu Daoyun was a fun-loving person.

So he deliberately pestered Luo Zheng, pretending to be jealous of Qi Jiang.

"Your Majesty, I have composed a new piece of music today and would like to perform it for you. Please give me your feedback."

Qi Jiang fanned herself with a fragrant breeze, her delicate shoulders half-exposed.

She wanted to use her body odor to seduce Luo Zheng.

Xu Daoyun smiled sweetly and gently took Luo Zheng's arm.

"I really want to hear Sister Jiang Ji's new song! If Your Majesty is going, please take me with you. I hope she won't mind?"

"...Didn't my little sister want to read? It's too noisy over there, I'm afraid she won't like it."

"How could the younger sister not be happy to hear her older sister's music?"

Qi Jiang's fake smile became increasingly forced, while Xu Daoyun's expression revealed her hypocrisy.

The two exchanged words there.

The tea was full of aroma and flavor.

"..."

This way, you can also create a chaotic battlefield.

Luo Zheng was speechless.

If he hadn't known the original history, he might have been led astray by the two of them.

Qi Jiang is vain, which is why she threw herself at him.

Xu Daoyun was an old acquaintance of Luo Zheng, so it was normal for her to have feelings for him, but that was all.

In her predetermined fate, she also actively joined Liang Wang Zheng's harem in order to indirectly realize her ideals and ambitions through Liang Wang Zheng.

Perhaps she discovered that King Liang Zheng was tyrannical and cruel, and not worthy of her assistance.

Therefore, in collusion with Xu Xian, they killed King Zheng of Liang.

"What does Your Majesty think?"

As expected, Qi Jiang and Xu Daoyun posed the question to us.

Unfortunately, this kind of basic question was no challenge for Luo Zheng.

If you want to improve your chances of getting along with someone.

Without a doubt, we'll choose to play together.

It can act as a mediator, improve favorability, and if handled well, can even unlock a threesome storyline.

But let's be reasonable.

Luo Zheng is playing the role of a conqueror.

This is not a harem romance drama script.

That's enough.

Luo Zheng interrupted the two women's argument.

"I suddenly remembered that Mi Ji has been here for quite some time, and I haven't visited her yet. I'm going to look for her, so you don't need to come along."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiang and Xu Daoyun both fell silent.

Luo Zheng didn't care what the two of them thought.

He started walking on his own.

They went to find Ji Mi.
