IPPWR Chapter 24. Tyrant (24) I heard I killed my father to usurp the throne 

It was not until the guard brought a dying man with an arrow in his chest that the stunned officials and the onlookers came back to their senses.

？？？

What just happened? Are they not dreaming?

The faint roar of the dragon, the fleeting illusory dragon shadow, and the shining golden light that disappeared in an instant…

Recalling the vision just now, there was only one thought left in their minds.

Surprised, the dignified monarch of a country would do such a thing in the street…cough, that’s not right.

——It turns out that the words “real dragon emperor” are not empty words that emperors used to put gold on their faces, or… did his majesty really meet an immortal?!

Yuan Buwei was still calm: “… Well, you don’t have to make a fuss. I’m blessed by nature. Shouldn’t it be normal that God has blessed zhen?”

Look at these officials who have never seen the world, he showed his dislike ←_ ←。

Officials: …

Prime Minister Su: …

? ? ? Not good. His Majesty blew out the rainbow fart they were about to blow. What is left for them to say now?

Fortunately, Yuan Buwei didn’t notice their embarrassment, he took a step forward and seriously examined the assassin.

Although this assassin was dressed as a native of Northern Li, in an ordinary and inconspicuous grey cloth with a high bun. The incongruous aura around his body, as well as the deep lines on the bridge of his eyes and nose, all revealed his identity.

In the memory left by the original body Qi Mingxuan,he had seen countless such people, as corpses and broken arms.

After only one look, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Jiehu people?”

Taking into account the exquisiteness of the archery skills that are already close to the Tao in this world, Yuan Buwei added: “A vulture archer?”

The so-called vulture archer, among the Jiehu, is the highest level of praise for an archer. Even among the Jiehu people who are all naturally good at shooting, there are very few people who can get this title. All of them are warriors among warriors.

The assassin didn’t seem to hear his words at all, his eyes were blank, his soul was lost, and the whole person was still deeply immersed in the incredible scene just now.

Yuan Buwei shook his head and ordered, “Take him away.”

Several guards dragged the person away immediately.

The assassin woke up like a dream. Apparently, his mentality has collapsed from the stimulation and looking at Yuan Buwei is like seeing a ghost.

This sudden change did not affect Yuan Buwei in the slightest. He did not change his plan and swaggered around outside. Inspecting the grand occasion of the academy opening with his own eyes and then returned to the palace.

However, this trivial matter, which he never took to heart, really shocked others. All kinds of strange rumours began to spread quickly.

Some about “the Son of Heaven meets the Immortal”, “the real dragon blessing”, “the ancestors manifested their spirits”, “the reincarnation of god into man”… There are all kinds of rumours, but all of them are developing in the direction of fantasy.

It happened that the academy was completed, and many people from the south and the north were paying attention. Soon, all kinds of bizarre legends spread all over the world stemming from these people.

System 999 was almost shocked to the ground by the host’s sudden riotous operation. In this world, perhaps only it knows the truth best.

All real dragons and gods are fake, this world does not allow such a powerful existence, it is clearly the host playing tricks.

Although this body is now only the weak body of an ordinary person, the soul of Yuan Buwei is far stronger than ordinary people. With his powerful soul, arrows that are completely impossible for others to react to, are like slow motion to him and can be easily caught. He also temporarily affected the souls of others in a small area, causing them to have a momentary illusion is not difficult.

For several days in a row, the ministers were all in a trance, doubting life, hesitating to say anything, as if there were countless question marks on their foreheads. However they dared not take the initiative to question Yuan Buwei.

Yuan Buwei didn’t mention it again, instead asking about the assassin’s situation.

This person is indeed a Jiehu person, even a famous vulture archer in Jiehu.

According to his confession, half a month ago, a caravan from the Central Plains to Dayan approached a county king in Dayan seeking cooperation.

The content of the cooperation is naturally the assassination of the tyrant.

The caravan smuggled the vulture archer into the territory of Beili and all necessities were arranged by the other party. Taking him all the way into the capital of Beili and also arranged this excellent opportunity for assassination.

The inn for him to live in, the restaurant to observe the emperor’s route from appropriate heights and several other places were prepared by these people in advance.

– As for him? Only responsible for shooting that arrow!

After this man was arrested, he was severely tortured, and then he said everything like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

But more in-depth secrets, such as who is the behind-the-scenes instigator of the caravan? He doesn’t know.

Moreover, on the day this person was caught, the head of the caravan who came forward to cooperate with them committed suicide at home, cutting off all clues after that point.

There are enough powerful contacts in the capital and Dyan to smuggle a Jiehu person to and fro. Who hates the emperor so much.

Of course, who other than those noble families?

It’s just that an unimaginable scene happened that day. Who knew how uneasy the person behind the scenes should be at this time. That entanglement and doubt is most apparent in the ministers at court today.

Including prime minister Su, everyone was obviously very curious about what happened to Yuan Buwei and their eyes were filled with the words “Your Majesty, speak quickly”.

Contrarily Yuan Buwei stayed silent.

He majestically sat at the top, looking at the numerous official’s expressions that looked aggrieved enough to explode but dared not speak. He suddenly felt that this boring meeting had become a little more interesting.

System 999 is also very happy: [Host, with your one move the rumours about you have turned around. If you can trick and sway over the male protagonist, the opportunity to whitewash is right in front of your eyes 】

[Even a crime like regicide can be washed away, as expected of you! It turns out that this system has always been on the first floor, and you have been standing on the fifth floor, host! 】

When its villain whitewashing system was born, the task completion mechanism set was determined from the judgement of the protagonist. Completion relies on whether the protagonist believes that the host is a good person.

After listening to the various strange slang that System 999 drops in from time to time, Yuan Buwei has mastered quite a few new words.

… The whitewashing of reputation or something can only be said to be a complete accident. This system is really overthinking it.

Yuan Buwei gave a “en” sound.

With a flash, a thought occurred.

With a light cough, he put on a serious expression: “I just let these people become accustomed to it in advance… lest they be caught off guard by what happens next.”

Yes, that’s right. He is such a kind person.

… Definitely not due to a mischievous whim!

Why not let these people adapt in advance? Because he was already preparing to transform the world.

Well, in the words of the popular science materials of System 999, it is to develop the feudalism of Beili——

Although there is no spiritual energy in this world, it has another special power that is more versatile and interesting, and that is luck.

The theory of luck is mysterious, perhaps due to this world previously belonging within multiple planes. As far as he knows, some planes are completely unaffected by luck and all living beings are treated equally. Therefore it has never had any special child of luck, while some planes have extremely valued children of fate with a heavenly destiny determining everything from birth.

And this world…

Since System 999 cares so much about the so-called “protagonist”, it means that the power of luck is very influential in this world.

This being just an ordinary small world, ordinary people cannot perceive the existence of luck. And no one has started the cultivation of the power of luck, therefore, luck qi has limited influence on the people of this world.

——Yuan Buwei is a person who can make this happen.

To study the luck of this world, it is actually best to start with Qi Yu. However, since Yuan Buwei was enthroned, this little fat man has never taken the initiative to show his face.

According to the imperial eunuch, he seemed to have been told something by the empress, leading him to deliberately avoid Yuan Buwei and stayed in his own palace all day, doing who knows what.

Currently, listening to the report of a servant who had deliberately ran in front of him to flatter him, Yuan Buwei stared at him quietly for a few breaths with no change in expression.

Seeing that the person became soaked with cold sweat, he casually ordered, “Send this person back to the sixth imperial younger brother.”

As for what will Qi Yu do with him? Leave it to him.

Probably because people found that this new emperor was unpredictable, extremely difficult to please and he could always discern everyone’s thoughts keenly. Yuan Buwei’s surroundings quietened down.

What if there is no Qi Yu? If there is no male protagonist, isn’t there a female protagonist! Yuan Buwei borrowed the heroine directly from the prime minister’s estate. He has been researching for several days now and has gained a lot.

As a result, Qi Yu struggled for several months, and finally stepped out of his palace. He just entered the imperial garden when he saw a very familiar wild girl.

The sun is setting and the imperial garden is tinged with purple and bright red.

At this moment, the little girl’s face was brighter than the flowers in the entire imperial garden and she was looking up at his brother with incomparable respect and admiration.

And the most important thing is…

His imperial brother, who has always been indifferent, is actually reaching out and patting the little girl’s head.

There was a happy smile on his lips.

Qi Yu: ! ! !

…If I remember correctly, my imperial brother has never patted me, nor has he ever smiled at me like that.

Obviously I was here first…
