17. This is the aftermath of the Great Desolation

Pei Niancheng never imagined that Li Han would be so stubborn, and even though he had made it clear, he still didn't intend to follow orders.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and Pei Nianyu looked at the two nervously.

Pei Niancheng's face sank like water, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a stern look in his eyes:

"Li Han, are you threatening me?"

Li Han lowered his head, his voice was calm:

"The subordinates dare not."

But he didn't intend to give in at all.

Pei Niancheng got angry, and caught off guard, he slapped the table, shaking the teacups on the table three times, and said in a gloomy voice:

"Li Han, don't think that I really dare not kill you because you have been with me for so many years."

Hearing what he said, Pei Nianyu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he turned to look at Pei Niancheng in surprise.

He knew that Pei Niancheng's behavior style was very different from his. For him, if his close subordinates violated the rules, referring to Lou Yefeng, his bottom line is... There is no bottom line.

On the other hand, Pei Niancheng is completely opposite. Pei Niancheng has his own set of methods of controlling subordinates. He treats different subordinates with different levels of tolerance.

If anyone touches this line, sorry, just Game Over.All those who were blacklisted by Pei Niancheng, their political life is over, there is no second chance.

The most important thing is that Pei Nianyu knows that Pei Niancheng has a very low tolerance for someone threatening him, and he can say anything about it.

After Pei Niancheng ascended the throne, there were two or three former emperors who were dissatisfied because they could not get a share of the new deal, and secretly made several moves.Later, Pei Niancheng asked them to have a talk, but the talk fell apart, and those people seemed to threaten him with something.

Pei Niancheng was so angry that he directly investigated them the next day.

And now... what Li Han did was so straightforward, testing Pei Niancheng's bottom line back and forth.

Pei Nianyu knew that if his younger brother really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't hold back.

In fact, Pei Niancheng's cold expression of "You think I dare not kill you" was just to scare him.He really didn't believe that Li Han would give up his trust in him for so many years.

However, Pei Niancheng miscalculated.After Li Han heard that sentence, he didn't react at all, he just replied:

"……yes."

There was silence in the air for two seconds.

Pei Nianyu subconsciously clenched the cup tightly, secretly worried about Li Han, while Pei Niancheng exploded all of a sudden.

He picked up the saber on the table.

Just when Li Han thought the master was going to pull out the sword.However, Pei Niancheng kicked out suddenly, hitting Li Han in the chest.There was three points of internal strength in that kick, but Li Han didn't resist, and kicked Li Han directly out of the door.

Pei Niancheng was furious:

"It's your uncle, yes! Someone, take him down for me!"

Several black-clothed shadow guards sprang out from outside the door, and dragged him out while touching his acupoints.

Seeing that the person had finally left, Pei Niancheng looked down at the sword in his hand, raised his arm, and threw it directly, falling to the ground in the yard with a thud.

Immediately, another shadow guard came to pick up Li Han's saber.

Pei Nianyu: "..."

He took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and immediately felt relieved.

The fact that Pei Niancheng was so angry showed that he wasn't really angry.When he was really angry, his expression was always flat, and he directly took the life of the person with his mouth opening and closing, and he didn't even have the slightest affection for the culprit, thinking it was a waste of time.

Now that Pei Niancheng slapped the table and yelled angrily, it meant that Li Han must be fine, and even the real punishment might not be serious.

Pei Niancheng turned back into the room and said angrily:

"This kid is out of order again."

Pei Nianyu held the tea gracefully, smiling without saying a word.

"Forget it, go back and deal with him, brother, I will talk to you first."

…………………………

After Li Han was taken out here, his acupoints were pinched and he couldn't move, so he knelt obediently outside the door of Yuqing Room.

Several black-clothed shadow guards around saw that Li Han, who had always been trusted by the master, was so violently beaten by the master at this time, they were a little frightened, and they didn't dare to go forward to ask the reason, and they didn't speak at all.He went back to the place where he was on duty secretly.

Inside, the master and King Yu were discussing matters, so he knelt here quietly, waiting for the master to come out before dealing with him.

However, after a while, a man in a taupe-colored gown appeared at the door.

"Li Han? Why are you?"

Li Han looked up slightly, and said lightly:

"Lou Yefeng, what are you doing here? The master ordered that no one be allowed in."

Lou Yefeng said: "I just heard His Majesty's angry voice, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you, you are... what's wrong?"

In fact, he was afraid that the target of His Majesty's anger would be Pei Nianyu, so he came to have a look.

Li Han shook his head: "No comment."

There was a sudden chill.

Lou Yefeng didn't care, just waited quietly for the master with arms folded.After all, he is now a servant, and he is supposed to be with him, so there is no reason for him to sleep alone in the room.

Seeing that Lou Yefeng didn't intend to leave, Li Han suddenly asked:

"Lou Yefeng, you don't have any internal energy now?"

Lou Yefeng was not surprised that he already knew about it, but he was noncommittal:

"Actually, it's not entirely true. During the month when I was locked up, I tried to practice again when I had nothing to do. It also allowed me to practice a little bit of internal strength."

"The secret method I use is only to evacuate the internal force, and it will not damage the dantian."

Li Han frowned and asked again:

"Even if you can regain your internal strength, you will have to be in your fifties or sixties when you reach the previous level."

Lou Yefeng smiled and said: "The meridian has been opened once, so retraining the internal strength will naturally be faster than the first training. I estimate that by the end of the year, it will recover about one-tenth of it?"

It is already late autumn, and it will only be two or three months until the end of the year.If you keep going at this speed, it will only take a few years to restore your internal strength.

Li Han was silent.

He knew that Lou Yefeng was a genius in martial arts, but he never thought that Lou Yefeng's martial arts skills had been constantly breaking his inherent cognition.

"However, Li Han, why are you asking this?"

Li Han was silent for a while before saying:

"Lou Yefeng, don't you...don't regret it? Even if you can recover your internal strength in the future, you can only be a servant now."

Lou Yefeng shook his head:

"What's wrong with Shijun, I will be very happy if the master can use me. What's more..."

He thought of the slightly frivolous but tender words his master said to him this morning, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Your Majesty is fine."

Lou Yefeng didn't say any more after that.Telling Li Han about his feelings for his master... would be a negative example.

Li Han was a little puzzled, and before he could ask a question, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a clear and delicate girl's voice:

"Hey, Li Han, why are you kneeling here?"

Lou Yefeng turned his head to look:

"Jiang Xue, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Xue held two porcelain bowls firmly in each hand, and the borsch soup in the bowls did not shake at all, and handed a bowl to Lou Yefeng:

"Sister Yun Shao just tried to make it again according to the master's method, and then asked me to bring it for you to taste, to see what is still missing?"

It was hard for him to refuse Yun Shao's kindness, so Lou Yefeng nodded, took the bowl of borscht and ate it neatly.

He finished eating quickly, and put the bowl aside, while Jiang Xue leaped onto the wall lightly, and then sat on the wall, eating slowly while mocking Li Han.

"Hey, why does Commander Lin make mistakes one day..."

The feud between her and Li Han has a long history. Jiang Xue was picked up by Pei Nianyu and Pei Niancheng in the heavy snow five or six years ago.

At that time, for Jiang Xue's special physique suitable for martial arts, Lou Yefeng thought it was worthy, but Li Han thought... Jiang Xue was already eight or nine years old, and it was too late to practice martial arts again.

So in the end Jiang Xue returned to Pei Nianyu.

And she remembered the scene of Li Han looking down on her very deeply. Later, after she had half achieved martial arts and tied with He Qineng, when she saw Li Han, she wanted to use this incident to mock him.

Li Han saw that she was attacking him every day, so he turned his eyes away and ignored her.

To Li Han, a little girl like Jiang Xue, who is a bit indulgent because of her master's tolerance, is really not a qualified shadow guard, and he doesn't want to talk to her too much.

However, Jiang Xue did not intend to let him go.

She reversed her internal energy with the method of Yang Yan, and the borsch soup in the bowl in her hand immediately began to steam and bubble, and the refreshing sweet and sour smell immediately permeated.

Li Han was punished to kneel here before he had time to eat in the morning. After smelling the heart-warming and comfortable smell, his stomach twitched slightly, and he turned his head back, his eyes fixed:

"What's that in your hand?"

Jiang Xue giggled, dangling her two feet, knocking lightly on the bowl with a spoon, making a crisp sound, while deliberately making delicious shapes:

"I don't want to tell you, this is a delicious food invented by our master. It's your turn. Uhit's delicious"

Li Han: "..."

The smell was steamed by her internal force, and kept entering along his nose.

Although the shadow guards are very capable of starving, but it is for ordinary meals, and it doesn't matter if they endure not eating for a few days.But at this time, regarding this unheard of soup, he only felt that the appetizing smell was so attractive, and for the first time, he felt a desire for food.

However, his acupoints were tapped, and he couldn't even run away without looking. Looking at Jiang Xue who was eating happily in front of him, his expression suddenly became a little tangled.

In the end, Lou Yefeng couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Jiang Xue:

"Jiang Xue, you've been trying to please him with your mouth, why bother to bully him like this..."

Jiang Xue replied calmly: "Commander Lou, you are not the commander now, so you can't order me."

Lou Yefeng: "..."

Fortunately, Jiang Xue also finished eating quickly, so she mercifully decided to let Li Han go, and then returned to Yun Shao's small kitchen with two bowls.

"Uh... this..."

Lou Yefeng was a little embarrassed, this guy was kneeling here, but Jiang Xue came here to eat and drink, it was a little out of character...

"Cough, this soup is called borscht. Li Han, when you come over next time, I'll ask Yun Shao to make you another bowl."

Unexpectedly, Li Han's expression slowly darkened, and he looked down at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he suddenly said:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I may... maybe not have the chance to taste it."

Lou Yefeng pursed his lips and did not speak.

"I made my master very angry today, I... don't know what the master will do to me..."

Lou Yefeng patted him on the shoulder with a relaxed tone:

"It's okay, as long as you still have breath, the kitchen of King Yu Palace will always be open for you. Even if you want to drink a bowl before your execution, brother, I will send you to the execution ground..."

Li Han: "??????"

………………………

Not to mention that the shadow guards outside were chatting, but here Pei Niancheng started talking about business as soon as he entered the door:

"Brother, let's not talk about anything else, the most important thing is... that Mo Cui jade pendant on your body."

Pei Nianyu took out the jade pendant, only to find that it had cracked.

"Hey, this is... Could it be that something that has been illuminated has blocked the disaster for me?"

Pei Niancheng shook his head with a serious expression:

"Where is the consecration so simple? According to my guess, this is clearly a thing left by the ancient monks."

Pei Nianyu looked at him in surprise.

"The development of civilization in Da Jing is different from ours. You know this. Ever since I transmigrated, I have been guessing that this place was probably a plane of cultivation a long time ago, in the prehistoric era tens of thousands of years ago..”

"Individual strength does not seem to make civilization stronger, and there are almost no historical records about the prehistoric period. Until the end of the prehistoric period, the aura degenerated, degraded from cultivation to high-level martial arts, and it was considered the end of the era of cultivation. However, the decline of personal power broughtThe evolution of wisdom, and thus, the slash-and-burn civilization appeared on this land."

"And now, thousands of years later, I reckon that the aura has degenerated to the period of low-level martial arts. You can see that the lightness skills of those shadow guards can only use their strength to fly over walls, and cannot fly out of thin air... At the same time, human cultural creationPower and scientific and technological wisdom are getting stronger."

"Based on my prediction of the world's current productivity, I am afraid that in a few hundred years, force will completely decline—and civilization will almost enter the industrial age."

This was the first time that Pei Nianyu heard Pei Niancheng tell his knowledge about this different world, and he couldn't help thinking, and it took him a long time to realize:

"Then what does this have to do with this jade pendant?"

"This jade pendant was left by my mother. I also have a piece, and it was also broken when I traveled through time. It contains a piece of something similar to a high-level spiritual consciousness. After it is broken, it will be stored in your body...You can understand it as an amulet, or in other words, a golden finger. It will show up when you have a strong need."

"Then, brother, the important thing I'm talking about is this. Now you just need to meditate on your strongest desire in your heart to activate it..."

Pei Nianyu was silent, and he suddenly said:

"I seem to have activated it yesterday... Is it a system?"

Pei Niancheng was surprised: "So fast?! No, it doesn't have to be a system. To be precise, it can be any kind of cheat. It depends on your consciousness. You want a magic weapon or a peerless book.Any of the exercises can do it."

Pei Nianyu pondered for a while, then said:

"...This thing, after taking shape, can I return it and change it?"

Pei Niancheng was stunned, feeling a little bad in his heart:

"It can't be changed. What system did you transform into?"

"Uh, a gourmet system..."

Pei Niancheng was speechless, with an expression of disbelief.

Pei Nianyu looked at his expression, and suddenly something was wrong in his heart:

"What is the golden finger avatar you chose?"

"Integrating political struggle, military strategy, and development and construction... the eternal Mingjun system."

Pei Nianyu: "......"

He remembered the salty fish-like tasks of his system.

The same system, the gap is a bit big!

He said angrily:

"Why is your system so domineering..."

Pei Niancheng was even more speechless than Pei Nianyu:

"I've said that this thing is transformed according to your strong need consciousness. I thought it would be too late for me to tell you about it today after you woke up yesterday. I plan to let you choose a direction before activating it."

"The problem is, where would I have thought that you have become so greedy for food in just one night...! The food system... Puff..."

Pei Nianyu's face darkened, and he slapped the table:

"You mean I'm a foodie, right?"

Pei Niancheng shrugged:

"Aren't you a foodie? Brother, don't you have any points in your heart?"

“…………………”

The author has something to say:

Pei Niancheng: I didn't expect my brother to be such a foodie. He came up with a gourmet system, and finally there will be delicious food in the future. I'm so happy.
