Villain: I am not good at fighting.

Chapter 518: The Dynasty Collapses and the Demon Concubine Brings Harm to the Country

In the cold winter of December, Liu Zhi went to the capital to meet the emperor. He met the Emperor Zhao, whose son was a bastard and had usurped the throne. The emperor was over fifty years old and looked a little listless.

He saw that the new queen beside Emperor Zhao was the young girl he saw at Luoxia Mountain. She was bright, beautiful and arrogant, and had none of the liveliness and innocence she had that day.

Liu Zhi, who was now cultivating the righteous spirit of Confucianism, could see that this woman was full of demonic aura and murderous blood. However, due to the connection with Luoxia Mountain, he remained silent and said nothing.

In the hall, Emperor Zhao asked him about the method of quelling the plague and the strategy of governing the country and maintaining peace. After the court meeting, Emperor Zhao sent someone to invite him to the imperial study.

The two chatted until the sun set. Liu Zhi could feel the king's ambition from their words, but he was powerless to do so.

During the discussion, they also discussed the new queen, who was a master from Luoxia Mountain and a student of the next generation of the Great Sage.

Liu Zhi and Emperor Zhao had a slight disagreement here, but he hid it well and did not show it.

The next day.

The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict, appointing Liu Zhi as the Inspector General of the Four Rivers, in charge of expelling the plague and developing people's livelihood.

Along with the imperial edict came an imperial decree from the empress, inviting Liu Zhi to the palace for a casual chat.

As soon as she entered the harem, the new queen dismissed her attendants and came happily to Liu Zhi, showing the liveliness of a young girl.

"Master Liu, it has been half a year since we last met. Do you still remember me?"

The tone of voice was intimate and full of youthfulness. Liu Zhi did not look away, but stepped back half a step to keep a safe distance and bowed, saying:

"Liu Zhi only cares about his country and people. Please respect yourself, Queen."

"Humph, you don't understand romance. You just learn whatever that devil teaches you. You are so obedient!"

The young queen's face turned cold, and her words revealed her disgust for Luoxia Mountain.

"Don't talk nonsense. The fairy who taught me the recipe for ruling the world is the one Liu Zhi respects the most. We are from the same school, how can you tarnish her fairy name!"

With a righteous spirit flowing through his chest, Liu Zhi was awe-inspiring without even getting angry.

"Hahaha, hahaha, then do you know why she asked me to go down the mountain?"

The young queen laughed crazily, and then suddenly said in a stern voice:

"She knew that I fell in love with you at first sight, yet she still asked me to marry this useless emperor and absorb his luck to destroy this dynasty."

Liu Zhi did not believe a word the young queen said. In his mind, Fairy Luoxia was equal to the Most Holy Teacher and should not be insulted.

"Queen, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Considering that the young queen came from Luoxia Mountain, Liu Zhi loved her and had no intention of exorcising any demons.

"Why, Saint Liu, aren't you afraid that I will destroy this dynasty?"

Liu Zhi had never seen the bloodiness of demons since he was a child, and he remained romantic and innocent towards the threats of the young queen. He paused and said in a sonorous voice:

"If you really do this, I will not be lenient."

The two men ended up parting on bad terms during this meeting, but Liu Zhi still insisted on not killing, not stealing, not lying, and not committing adultery.

But the young queen's words left a seed of doubt in his heart, and he did feel the girl's disgust towards Emperor Zhao.

But once he came into conflict with the respected Fairy Luoxia, he subconsciously thought that the girl was wrong.

Another half a year passed, and Inspector Liu Zhi finally solved the plague in Sijiang. It turned out that a disembodied rat monster was the cause.

He took great pains to lure the rat monster into a trap, and suppressed it with his righteous energy. That summer, the flames were blazing.

Liu Zhi returned to the capital to report. Empress Yi ordered him to enter the palace to reminisce about the past before issuing the imperial decree. Then he saw the empress in dishevel in the palace.

Then the queen accused him of being dissolute and usurped her innocence. The Emperor Zhao was furious and planned to imprison and behead Liu Zhi despite the obstruction of his civil and military officials.

But at this time, Liu Zhi was already a true saint in the eyes of the people. On the night he was imprisoned, a chivalrous knight rescued him from prison.

The officers and soldiers guarding the prison had no intention of fighting and let him be taken away by the knight. Liu Zhi was worried that he would be forced to flee and bring harm to his family.

As a result, the next day, news came from the palace that Emperor Zhao was so angry that he died after failing to save his country. He left a will that designated his seven-year-old son as the new emperor.

The young fox demon who was promoted from queen to queen mother displayed fierce and bloody methods and strongly controlled the government.

Liu Zhi was stripped of his official status and exiled three thousand miles away. Along the way, a little paper man secretly took care of him, so he was naturally safe and sound.

But he had had smooth sailing since childhood, and a sudden setback left him at a loss and lost his direction. At this time, a piece of gossip reached his ears.

There is something strange about the death of Emperor Zhao. The prince who was originally supposed to succeed to the throne should have been Zhao Ning, the Prince of Lincheng, before the young fox demon became the queen.

Zhao Ning was the crown prince. He coveted the beauty of the new queen but was discovered by the Emperor of Zhao, who deposed him in anger.

But the folk rumor is that the evil queen lost her chastity and seduced Prince Zhao Ning, falsely accusing him of being presumptuous and dissolute, which is exactly the same as Liu Zhi's situation.

Liu Zhi suddenly realized that she really wanted to destroy the dynasty, so he rushed to Lincheng overnight and asked Zhao Ning to purge the emperor's side.

Zhao Ning had this intention long ago. Liu Zhi, this saint, came to his doorstep to help him solve the problem of his reputation for starting out in an illegitimate way, so he immediately decided to rebel.

A vigorous war began. Zhao Ning's side was victorious, while the Demon Queen's side was defeated and internal conflicts emerged one after another.

As the army approaches, the Demon Queen reveals her true form as a seven-tailed red fox, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, she fights a fierce battle with Saint Liu in the capital of Zhao State.

The Confucian righteousness was followed by the law. The Demon Queen was eventually defeated and suppressed at the bottom of the lake in the Imperial Garden. Before being sealed, she shouted unwillingly:

"Liu Zhi, it's useless to seal me. Your life has already been arranged by her. Even if you support the new emperor to ascend the throne, the world will still be in chaos!"

This battle pushed Liu Zhi's reputation to the peak. Everyone in the world knew the name of Saint Liu. The new emperor Zhao Ning respected him as "sir" and worshipped him as "the most holy teacher."

Liu Zhi has the authority to speak his mind and has countless students. To this day, he still abides by the advice of Fairy Luoxia.

Do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, and do not commit adultery.

However, the Demon Queen's unwilling roar was like an invisible curse, and the world was definitely not entering a peaceful and prosperous era as he had imagined.

In the second year of Zhao Ning's reign, there was a severe drought in the north of the Yangtze River. In the second half of the year, a flood occurred in the south of the Yangtze River. All of the Liu family's property in the south of the Yangtze River was submerged in the flood. Fortunately, his parents and relatives were still alive.

In the third year, there was an earthquake in Jiangdong and a locust plague in Jiangxi. The entire Zhao State was devastated. Liu Zhi, who had the memories of his past life, found that he could not save the situation no matter what he tried.

Most of the problems were not caused by humans, but rather by natural disasters that led to man-made disasters. He recalled what the fox demon had said before, that his life had already been arranged, and no matter what he did, the world would still be in chaos.

Fairy Luoxia passed on to him the divine book on governing the world. He read it over and over again and found every sentence to be wise and true. Why had the world become like this?

Puzzled, Liu Zhi came to the bottom of the lake in the Imperial Garden, which had been transformed into the Supreme Academy, and the Zhaoning Palace had been moved because of him.

"Chi Xiangling, why did you say that the world would be in chaos? What do you know?"

This is the name of the seven-tailed red fox. Liu Zhi had only refined the "Beichen Fushenglu" to the first level, and his righteous energy was not able to kill her.

During the years she was suppressed at the bottom of the lake, she often appeared in Liu Zhi's dreams and tempted him to fall.

"Haha, you finally realized something was wrong."
