Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 232 Chapter 231 Yizhong County King suffered a defeat?

"The magic brush Ma Liang? That Ma Liang who can conjure up anything he draws? No, the second brother is talking about the magic brush? Does the Blackwater Bandit have a magic brush?"

"That's right! It's similar to the magic brush Ma Liang used."

"However, since that Blackwater bandit already has a magic pen, why would he want to steal other people's property? Isn't it all right to draw some silver with a pen?"

"This magic brush is not that magic brush. The blackwater bandit's magic brush can only draw living things, or objects that have the concept of living things. He can't draw dead things such as silver and mud, and even if he draws living things Things also have a time limit.”

"Ah? That's no wonder, no wonder this Blackwater Bandit is doing bad things. If I had such a magical pen, I would draw many flowers and beautiful birds and butterflies every day, let them decorate our home, let them play with me every day..."

"Xiangyun is right. I want to draw a grown-up Lu Xiaobai. Brother Lian has long wanted a mount, but Lu Xiaobai just can't grow up~"

This is naturally Yingchun who loves her brother the most.

"I...I want to draw a mother..."

Xiao Xichun's words suddenly silenced the Rongqing hall for a moment, everyone looked at the little guy with pity, but Xichun smiled sweetly at this moment.

"Hee hee~ But I have never met my mother, so I don't know how I will draw her."

The old lady on the high platform couldn't help looking at Xiao Xichun with loving eyes, but when Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but think of her own mother that Jia Lian painted yesterday, could it be that brother Lian...

"Brother Lian, since Zhang Shun has already captured the Blackwater Bandit, is that magical brush already in your hands?"

"That's right! Elder Sister Lin is still the smartest, Elder Lian quickly hand over the magic pen and lend it to me!"

"Oh~ I'm playing with the magic pen!"

"..."

Xiao Linyong and Jia Cong on the side also started booing and cheering.

Jia Lian was beyond Daiyu's expectation and shook his head: "My Yu'er is really smart, but it's a pity that this magic brush can't be used for you to play with."

"Ah? Why?"

"Second brother, don't be stingy, we will only play for one day at most, and I promise not to spoil it for you, okay?"

This is the voice of Big Face Bao.

"Don't worry, let me finish talking about the Blackwater Bandit first.

You think that since the Blackwater Bandit got such a magical brush, he can draw some capable thieves from time to time to steal some money from powerful and weak rich merchants, and he will be able to live well all the time.Why did he still send people to steal those rich and powerful people? "

Yingchun: "This? Maybe this person spends money and is greedy?"

Xiang Yun said with a grin: "It's also possible that this blackwater bandit wants a lot of money to buy an official."

All the sisters and Baoyu also made speculations one by one, but Jia Lian shook his head and denied them all.

Daiyu: "Oh, Brother Lian, don't be fooled, tell me quickly, why did that blackwater bandit steal these Marquis residences? It can't be because he lost his mind, went crazy, or was cynical."

Jia Lian chuckled: "Sisters, do you really think that the magical power of that magical brush came out of nothing?

You must know that everything in this world can only be gained if you pay for it. If you see something that you get for nothing, you must understand that such a thing is not a scam. It must be that you have paid a greater price in other places that you cannot see! "

"Brother Lian, what do you mean is that the magic pen is weird?"

"That's right. Although this so-called magic brush can make fake paintings come true and create something out of nothing, there is a price for using it. The price is the life of the person who made the painting—that is, the Blackwater Bandit!"

"life?"

"life???"

As soon as Jia Lian said this, even the old lady above couldn't help being shocked, but after a while, she understood the meaning of Jia Lian's words to her sisters today, and her eyes flashed approval.

"That's right, it's the lifespan! According to the account of the Blackwater Bandit, every time he uses the magic brush, he will consume at least half a month's lifespan.

He also thought at the beginning that his lifespan is only half a month, and he is only in his 20s, so it doesn't matter if he uses it a few times.But the process of stealing the silver was too easy, so he spent more and more extravagantly. Anyway, he only needs to spend another half a month of life to get a lot of silver again.

The last time and time again, unknowingly, he has consumed a lot of life span in just over a year since he got the magic pen. People in their 20s look like they are almost 50 years old! "

When Jia Lian said this, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea. Xiangyun took the opportunity to draw inferences:

"So the Blackwater thief finally realized the price of using the magic pen, so he decided to steal a few marquises, make a big one, and then stop?"

Jia Lian cast a glance at this little girl, she has some brains, but it's not big enough.

"Wrong again, the black water bandit discovered that this magical brush turned out to be a powerful magic weapon, and if he wanted to continue using it and stop the passing of life, he had to embark on the road of spiritual practice.

But he didn't practice mystical techniques and resources, so he focused on the mansions of the Earls and Marquises. He was smart enough to not dare to directly attack the palace and us dukes' mansions. "

"It's no wonder to refine the divine tool, but the black water bandit was able to forcibly use the magical brush, so he must have had a good posture for training the gods. It's a pity."

Yingchun's thinking, which was intentionally cultivated by Jia She over the years, jumps very fast, and it's a pity that Wang Sheng's posture of refining gods has appeared.

However, what Yingchun said was right to a certain extent, Wang Sheng's life energy, that is, his lifespan, has been extracted by the magic pen in a large amount for more than a year. But at this time, more than half of it was abolished.

The current Wang Sheng is in the same condition as Jia Jing in the East Mansion before. They are all "old" and have no potential to climb the road of cultivating gods.

Jia Lian glanced at Yingchun approvingly, and then glanced around at the other Jia family sisters who seemed to be enlightened, and Baoyu who was still confused.

"The reason why I told you about this blackwater bandit is to tell you how much he paid for going this wrong way, and you must learn from it.

Like you, Baoyu!You are 12 years old. I heard from the head of the ethnology that you haven't completed the pre-basic coursework for spiritual practice. What are you thinking?In the future, if you ever need power, do you want to learn from this black water bandit and trade your lifespan for power? "

Da Lianbao never expected that Jia Lian would point at him at this time, and suddenly hesitated, but finally bowed his head quickly to make a promise.

"I... I, I understand, second brother, I will work hard in the future."

"Ah."

In fact, Jia Lian didn't care to talk about Baoyu him, but he didn't want to choose one of his sisters to teach him.

"Okay, the Taoist magic brush seized from the black water bandit is now in the hands of your sister-in-law Keqing. According to your sister-in-law's practice progress, and on the premise that it does not affect her practice now, she can use the magic brush every five days. Paint once.

As for who to paint for?Then it depends on your performance in these five days..."

"Okay~"

"Sister Keqing~"

"Sister-in-law..."

Previously, due to the random intrusion of the younger sisters, the competition between Jia Lian and Qin Keqing naturally came to nothing, and the magic pen was always in her hand.

So Jia Lian decided to find something for her to do, and by the way, asked her younger sisters to supervise her spiritual practice, because Jia Lian found that Qin Keqing seemed to be a little slack since she stepped into the realm of spiritual training.

On the other side, Daiyu pursed her lips. Although Xiao Xichun's proposal just now was a bit tempting, she was still sensible and did not propose to "draw" her mother.

If there is only a seven-day survival period, it will only increase troubles...

……

This is the end of the story of the Blackwater Bandit, and his story was used by Jia Lian to educate his younger sisters.

As for Wang Sheng himself, a few days just happened to be the days when some members of the Nanyang Legion and the guards of Shenjing City were on duty. Following the principle of waste utilization, he was also sent to work in Batavia with the ship.

Jia Liaojian gave Wang Sheng a basic level of mystical refining method for the sake of the rare posture of practicing gods. If he can practice some tricks, he can better serve Jia Lian's forces.

Even if it is basically impossible to make great achievements, it is not difficult to complete the cultivation of the first level of refining gods, give birth to spiritual awareness, become a capable healer or something else.

In the original timeline, England relied on the exile of criminals to control the huge Australia, and finally the so-called British Australia was born.

Thinking about it this way, in fact, those prisoners in Daqing who were exiled for thousands of miles were given too light sentences, and they had to find someone to make a note and ask the Ministry of Punishment to re-sentence.

Even better, if one person commits a crime, the whole family will be imprisoned!

Yes, even though Jia Lian has opened up many overseas Nanyang benefits to the major families, the pace of Daqing people going overseas is still too slow and too conservative.

After all, since ancient times, Chinese people have been unable to leave their homeland, and this concept is indeed difficult to change.

Thinking about it this way, Jia Lian actually hoped that the Yizhong County King's war in Annan would be a complete victory at this time, at least to maintain the current victory of occupying more than half of Annan.

In the province, only Jia Lian's family is always clamoring to develop overseas, to immigrate more overseas and so on.

It's better to get the royal people involved...

At this time, Annan had a war eagle rushing thousands of miles to send a battle report to the court. The Annan United Army in Daqing suddenly suffered a defeat, with more than 5000 soldiers lost. At this time, most of them had returned to Hanoi City for repairs.

Jia Lian didn't go to the palace to ask for the detailed battle report, but he could guess what was going on. Obviously, the Yizhong County King underestimated the enemy.

Anti-justice King Zhongjun beat Annan and didn't ask him for advice, and he didn't even say hello to him. It's not a good deal to rush forward.

Regardless of the fact that Yizhong County King has suffered a defeat now, Jia Lian can guarantee that if he goes over now, Yizhong must think that he wants to pick peaches.

That being the case, one thing more is worse than one thing less!

Anti-justice King Zhongjun and his collaborators didn't hurt their bones, they just lost a small defeat, and they should be able to afford the loss of 5000 troops.

It's okay, people can bear it!

It's just that Jia Lian thought so, but he ignored the respect that the old man in Longshou Palace had for his grandson.

No, Xia Shouzhong has come to the door, and the Supreme Emperor has invited him!
In Dragon's Head Palace, Jia Lian saluted perfunctorily like the old man, then sat down on the grand master's chair brought by the eunuch on duty today, and even twisted it left and right.

"Well, your grandpa's chair is good and comfortable~"

The eunuch on duty who heard Jia Lian's words and Xia Shouzhong who sent him in all lowered their heads firmly, and at the same time the corners of their mouths twitched violently.

On the other hand, the Supreme Emperor didn't take it seriously, he still had a smiling and kind face on his face, but the age spots on this face had gradually started to appear, and he was really not young.

Jia Lian looked at the Supreme Emperor for a while, and suddenly got up with a strange expression and came to the old man. Under the guarded eyes of the chief eunuch on duty, he walked around the table and came to the Supreme Emperor, and gently stretched out three fingers to rest on the old man's wrist.

After a while, Jia Lian withdrew his hand, but deliberately remained silent, and returned to his seat with a stern expression, as if in a daze.

The Taishanghuang was in a good mood, and he was good at nourishing his energy. Just watching Jia Lian's performance with a smile like this made Xia Shouzhong beside him very anxious.

For an old man like him who has served the Supreme Emperor all his life, it can be said that all his honor and disgrace are tied to the Supreme Emperor alone, and it is impossible to even have a chance to change his family.

After all, Emperor Baode had long been surrounded by the manpower he had cultivated when he was in the hidden mansion, and there was no place for old people like them.

If something happened to the Supreme Emperor, some of them might be buried...

Those who strike will definitely be the big eunuchs around Emperor Baode, after all, they know the viciousness of the eunuchs best.

"Hey, my little grandfather, what is the condition of His Majesty's body? You are telling me! Is there anything wrong with us slaves?"

Jia Lian cast a glance at the old man: "Your Majesty likes tofu these days?"

Hearing this, Xia Shouzhong quickly turned his head to look at the chief eunuch on duty, and the chief eunuch responded quickly when he saw this.

"Yes, today's lunch and yesterday's dinner have a small stack of fried tofu with shrimps, the emperor likes it better..."

Jia Lian continued to ask: "When your Majesty released the water these days, there were many small bubbles?"

"Yes, yes, sir, you are right."

That's right, the old man should have relatively high uric acid, and he prefers to eat tofu these days, which has caused a heavy burden on his kidneys recently...

"It's not a big problem, but in the future, the acidic food should be halved. It's good to eat tofu once every two or three days..."

Every one or two months, Jia Lian would give the Supreme Emperor a pulse.It's better for this old man to last for a few more years, among other things, as long as he is around, Emperor Baode will not dare to stretch out his hand indiscriminately.

Jia Lian can also avoid direct conflict with him...

On this point, Yizhong and Jia Lian are in agreement, but it seems that the situation of the Taishanghuang is not bad at present, and he himself is full of energy, so it is obvious that he will not be able to send it in a short time.

Then there is still time...
