Zhou Bai spent the New Year in the fourth year of Tongzhi in Xingyun City. The annual New Year celebrations finally diluted a lot of bloodshed.

However, the local people who unfortunately died in the war, after receiving the festival wine and meat as rewards from the new dynasty, were very sensible and did not complain about grief.

Life must go on, and if the princes stationed in the city are unhappy, they will have no good fruits to eat in the future.

I don't want to retain the treatment at the feet of the "Emperor" in the past, but I just want the new owner not to target me, and I just want him to be treated the same as Pinghe County.

Pinghe County was pacified and surrendered early. Except for the rectification of the local resisting family forces, the lives of most ordinary people not only did not get worse, but became better.

The government will help repair any houses damaged by the war. If you don't have food and winter clothing, you can also apply for assistance.

The transportation of materials in Ningjiang has never stopped. After the war, these materials will be used to improve people's livelihood.

Zhou Bai has not yet received feedback on the simple thoughts of the people in the old capital. He is currently concerned about the growth and dispersion of luck.

Lu Ding came from a noble family and was more particular about etiquette than Zhou Bai and Lei Haomiao. The entire palace was well built, with continuous palaces and high-rise courtyards.

Because the territory will expand in the future, Zhou Bai does not plan to set up a companion capital in Dingxi, and Xingyun City will still retain its administrative status as a county town.

However, he will not demolish the Dingxibo Palace. The core area will be reserved as a temporary palace, and most of the palaces will be reserved for public use, such as the martial arts academy, the academy, and the Taoist academy.

On this day, January 1, the fourth year of Tongzhi, there was a sudden change in the air movement in Dingxi, and Zhou Bai went up to the high building alone.

It turned out that Daxia took control of Xingyun County, and the new law was established, which completely destroyed the original Dingxi law.

Zhou Bai personally took charge, and the Daxia system was quickly established in Xingyun City. The fish and dragon swallowed the Dingxi dragon's energy without hesitation.

The first thing I did after entering the city was to seal up the Lu family's mansion, and by taking advantage of the luck involved during the country's collapse, I found the dragon vein in Dingxi that was in full bloom.

The dragon vein is located in a hidden mountain forest in Pinghe County. The ancestors of the Lu family were buried in the dragon's cave and used as a Feng Shui bureau. Therefore, Lu Ding's generation got the fate of Dingzhou Qianlong.

There are many people in the world who have obtained their destiny in this way.

Destiny, destiny, it may have been a fateful path for the ancestors of the Lu clan to find the dragon's lair in the first place.

However, these dragon veins are also called dead dragons. Unless they become a true dragon or a true dragon is born, the dead dragon will not move.

It has a big disadvantage, that is, the dragon veins need to be hidden, otherwise they need to be closely protected.

Otherwise, whether it is a Taoist monk or a mortal Feng Shui master, it is possible to destroy the dragon veins.

At least it will affect Qianlong's fortune; at worst, it will make Qianlong lose his moral character and lead to the decline of the country.

However, the dragon vein is difficult to find. This time it was also the time of national destruction and there were too many flaws in the luck vein, so it was easy to find it.

After finding the location of the Dingxi Dragon Vein, Zhou Bai didn't need to lock the dragon or fix the luck.

All he needs to do is bring his will and order the dragon veins to turn into living dragons. In this way, the dragon energy of Dingzhou will return to the country of Dingzhou, and it will inevitably be added to the true body of Dingzhou.

In this way, the dragon vein will not be left behind and there will be another opportunity to be exploited by careerists, and too much Dingzhou dragon energy will not be wasted.

Originally, before Zhou Bai became a duke and cast the Zhou tripod, his status was not correct and it was difficult to turn a dead dragon into a living one.

But who made Lu Ding so cooperative that he immediately announced the change of the country's name and gave up the nominal jurisdiction over Dingxi.

Of course, Lu Ding must have his own reasons for this move. It is nothing more than to preserve the dragon energy that has been added to him to the greatest extent and stabilize the hidden dragon's fate.

He gave up most of the dragon spirit of Dingzhou Dragon Vein and instead fought for the destiny of Dragon Daizhou, in exchange for Zhou Bai being less hostile.

I don’t want Dingzhou’s destiny. Don’t chase me to Daizhou. Let me take my time...

Although Lu Ding did not correspond with Zhou Bai, this must be the underlying meaning.

Changing the name to Daibei means completely losing the luck and foundation of Dingxi's dragon veins.

No, the Purple Qi King Ji who has grown several times in the core of Zhou Bai's destiny has indeed made him no longer eager to pursue Lu Ding, and his value is not that great.

The fish dragon that has passed through Huajiao Pass is growing again. It continues to swallow the dragon energy that has returned to the land of Dingxi, and its changes are obvious.

A crack appeared from the forehead of the ichthyosaur, gradually extending to the neck, body, tail, and finally the four claws on the abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, pieces of dragon skin and fish skin continued to fall off, turning into death energy and scattered everywhere.

It is not an accident, but a transformation, the transformation after obtaining the orthodox Dingzhou dragon energy.

Soon, the dead skin was gone, and the newly emerged red-yellow fish dragon was nearly seven and a half feet tall, a full two feet longer, which was more than the previous two years of digesting the accumulation of Dingguo.

However, after annexing the two counties of Dingguo, Yulong had to cross the Huajiao Pass. The current pass is not as good as that time.

It is still a dragon body and a fish tail, but after swallowing Dingxi Dragon Qi, the fish scales are gone, and the whole body is covered with hard dragon scales.

The original gills were gone, the characteristics of the fish head were completely hidden, the dragon nature was stronger, and the three-toed dragon claws under the abdomen were obviously much sharper.

After the transformation, the fish and dragon roared loudly, opened the mouth of the gluttonous dragon, and entangled all the last scattered Dingxi luck above the palace city into the still sparse Daxia French net.

Then, it took another look at the Dingxi Tianzhu, which was shaking and gradually collapsing.

The dragon's head moved closer to Zhou Bai, and then suddenly hit the Tianzhu.

boom!

With a huge roar, the Dingxi Eight-foot Heavenly Pillar, which had been standing in the center of the palace city for more than two years, collapsed.

Almost everyone in Dingxi heard this sound, and their hearts suddenly sank, but when they looked around, nothing happened.

A sustenance was lost and a new sustenance was ushered in.

From then on, there was only one Tianzhu in the entire Dingzhou, which was the Great Xiazhu.

…

Daizhou, the capital of Daibei Kingdom, is located on the outskirts of Yichuan City.

On the altar, there were abundant offerings and incense. Under the altar, hundreds of officials gathered, looking majestic and solemn.

January 1, the fourth year of Tongzhi, happened to be the day when Lu Ding founded the country and offered sacrifices to heaven.

"... I hope that the fire of virtue will burn all over the world, the red luck will not be exhausted, and the gods will enjoy it!"

Seeing that the process was completed and there was no abnormal phenomenon in the sky, some monks hiding in the dark had no choice but to jointly perform Taoist magic to obtain red clouds and clouds, and then they got through the test.

"There is a response, there is a response!"

"Bojun's fire virtue is undying, and he is still cared for by Chimai. We will definitely be able to create a new world in Daizhou!"

"Yes, we still have an army of 100,000 people, with sufficient food and supplies, and a complete military system. What can these reckless men in Daizhou do to fight us!"

"I will write a letter immediately after the great court meeting to expand overseas. Otherwise, why would a county be called an uncle's country?"

Listening to the discussions among the ministers, Lu Ding felt a slight movement in his heart. He must indeed expand without stopping, and he must have at least two counties.

Yesterday, Fulong's warlock was still suggesting to him that he should just call himself Viscount, otherwise he would be afraid that his virtue would not match his position and his luck would backfire.

The Red Veins of Heaven did not respond. As Lu Ding expected, Nao Shizi's celestial phenomenon could only fool the unsuspecting mortals.

Not to mention the changes in heaven, just say that he abandoned Dingzhou and came to Daizhou resolutely, which was not in Chimai's heart.

Delaying Zhou Bai, an unscrupulous man, from unifying the state is what the higher-ups want, but will the higher-ups bear the consequences of losing all his property and being shattered to pieces?

The answer is no. After Lu Ding got some secrets revealed by Chimai, not only did he not think about following the order, but he jumped out of the prison and started a new world.

"Master Jie, how are you doing?" Returning to the temporary palace renovated by the county government, Lu Ding asked the fulong warlock Jie Long confusedly.

But of course Jie Long understands the meaning. After all, he deduced it in the first place, and the vitality lies in the south.

Based on this trust, Xie Long was ready to sell his life to Lu Ding.

Xie Long bowed and pointed to the door: "The National Fortune Tianzhu was four feet long, but for some reason it was cut off by one foot. Now it is only three feet long."

"Why? Master Jie, can you let me see the current situation of our country with your own eyes?" Lu Ding had some idea and looked in the direction of Dingzhou to ask for advice.

Jie Long nodded slightly, raised his hand and blessed Lu Ding with a spiritual eye technique, and white hair immediately grew out.

He didn't care. This was the price for interfering with Qianlong. But the world was in chaos right now, and a little lifespan meant nothing.

Before leaving Dingxi, he had completely consolidated his status as a real person through the luck of the country.

Lu Ding walked out of the door and looked around casually. He saw that the Dingxi Tianzhu collapsed suddenly, leaving only a towering twenty-foot tall Tianzhu standing proudly independent in the entire Dingzhou.

Looking at the Daibei Tianzhu that had just been erected, it was only three feet away, a huge gap in strength. He could only suppress his shock and had no idea of ​​returning to the north.

Four feet became three feet, why?

Not even half of the luck stored in Dingxi Tianzhu was transferred over, and the soldiers and ministers who followed him were all from Dingxi.

If we cannot quickly absorb local forces and continue to bring hope to Dingxi interest groups, then the future is really hard to say.

"Lord, most of the Houtu Sect has followed us to the north. There are also hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people, which are the foundation of your rise." Jie Long saw that Lu Ding was a little confused and couldn't help but said.

Lu Ding took a deep breath and nodded: "Whether the Yin Court can be established or not, whether the family structure can be stabilized or not, the catastrophe is approaching, and a stronger national destiny is first needed."

"Otherwise, the evil spirit of Qingxu will enter the world, disasters will occur everywhere, and Daibei will be destroyed before the Xia Kingdom comes."

"The weak should be good at learning from the strong. Xia's military meritorious service is very suitable for Daizhou, passing orders to the orphans, opening the imperial examination as soon as the new year is over, and attacking Lin Hu at the same time!"

…

In February of the fourth year of Tongzhi, the three counties of Dingxi were completely merged into Daxia, and the militiamen were stationed in the countryside. There was no more resistance from the war.

And at this time of spring, when the flowers were blooming, the news of the disconnection of heaven spread quietly to all the countries in the world.

Some countries with no moral destiny feel that it doesn't matter and still want to develop step by step, but the increasingly fierce and violent war atmosphere makes them join in.

There is no other way. Those big countries are indiscriminate and mindlessly expanding, so they can only be forced to fight.
To be continued...
