The former fifth prince, and now His Majesty Wu, has a completely different aura than when he pretended to be trash with his tail between his legs. The only thing that is the same may be that his figure is still so eye-catching. The originally spacious dragon chair is slightly narrower.
Your Majesty is capable, and since he was single-handedly pushed to the throne by Mr. Sun, he has discovered a "little trick for wise kings", which is to trust the people you should trust, such as Lu Guangxiao, Liu Zhi, Liang Yuzhi, and the most trustworthy
Sun Changming.
Many princes did not fully trust their virtuous ministers before taking the throne, but after ascending the throne, some virtuous ministers would always have "outrageous achievements that shock the emperor". The reasons are complex, and the most important one is the change in the positions of the monarch and his ministers.
Yes, the mentality of the prince and the emperor are completely different.
But the fifth prince is a different kind of person. He found that it is really good to leave all affairs to the ministers and enjoy the pleasure brought by the imperial power with peace of mind! I can really "rule from the top"!
The reason why the emperor wants to hold a new [Dragon and Snake Ranking], apart from the reasons speculated by the outside world, is actually because His Majesty seems a little bored and wants to do some interesting things. He accompanied the late emperor in the Destruction Domain of Tongcoff Gorge
After playing for several years, I have been affected to some extent.
Moreover, the emperor is rich now. After annexing Nanni and expedition against the red barbarians, each family made terrible profits, and accordingly they also brought out many rare treasures to please the emperor. The last time the emperor asked Lord Sun to break through the border, his contribution was not enough.
There are few treasures, but he can hardly put them down in his private treasure house.
His Majesty selected some of the worse ones and took them out as prizes for this [Dragon and Snake Ranking]. These prizes made the young cultivators crazy about them.
When Mr. Sun, Hanmei and others were preparing to go to Beijing, there was a turmoil in various places, and the talented young people who thought they also had a chance started to leave one after another.
…
Shan Nobufu personally commanded his caravan, heading south from the north, heading straight for the capital. There were a total of forty carts in the caravan, filled with various specialties from the north, especially the Thirty-Six Northern Plains.
.
But the truly valuable possessions are all in Shan Nobufu's own storage bag. This time he went to the capital for two purposes. One is to accompany his son Shan Changjie to participate in the "Dragon and Snake Ranking", and he must at least be a top pick. The other is to leave.
Once the relationship with the capital is gone, the caravan business is just a matter of course. The goods in the storage bag will be sent out this time.
Although it is very painful, Shan Nobufu believes that in a few decades, the wealth given out will be recovered several times or dozens of times!
The Shan family in the North is only 300 miles away from the border between the Great Wu Dynasty and the Thirty-six tribes of Beiyuan. In the past few decades, the Shan family has smuggled grain, salt and iron to the Thirty-six tribes of Beiyuan.
The landowner suddenly became one of the richest people in the North!
What? Is this to support the enemy? Say it louder, I can’t hear you!
The Fusi of Beiyuan Town is under the control of Liang Yuzhi, but Liang Yuzhi cannot cover all local matters. The person who cooperates with the Shan family is a local Qianhu. This kind of "cleaning up the house" matter, other people
Speaking of Mr. Sun, even Liu Zhi couldn't interfere.
However, after Lord Sun conquered Beiyuan and supported Utuya, he gradually liberalized the trade in Beiyuan, but the Qianhu was exposed and was secretly captured by Lord Liang Yuzhi.
The Shan family no longer has a protective umbrella, and Shan Xinfu wants to find a new one. It is best to make friends with an important official in the capital this time, influence the court's policy, and re-seal the border between the two countries, so that the Shan family can continue smuggling.
make money.
If you can't do that, then at least protect the Shan family for ten years. In ten years, your son Shan Changjie will be able to grow up. By that time, even Sun Changming will not dare to touch our Shan family easily!
The reason why Shan Nobufu is so confident is because the caravan that smuggled to the Thirty-sixth Division of Beiyuan last time brought back a distinguished guest from Beiyuan. He claimed to be from Zhongzhou, another continent in the Eight Wastelands, and was a distinguished "
protector".
The country he sheltered was called Deng State, which was already the overlord in Zhongzhou. This risky pursuit across the sea was to chase down the remnants of Deng State's sworn enemy, Ju State.
This patron took a fancy to Shan Changjie and accepted him as his personal disciple. Shan Xinfu was also a monk. When the patron taught his son, he stayed with him for a few days, and he keenly saw that what the patron taught him was
Dharma, the power of fighting is amazing! Then I learned that the monks in Zhongzhou put their fighting ability first in their practice. The monks of the same level in Zhongzhou defeated Dongtu!
Moreover, Zhongzhou’s formations, alchemy methods, and weapon-making techniques are far superior to those of Eastern Tu. For example, in the hands of a Zhongzhou alchemist, a spiritual medicine can exert its medicinal effect to the greatest extent, and the refined medicine can be
The level elixir is about 40% more effective than Dongtu!
Shan Changjie was already extremely talented, and with the guidance of this patron, he immediately improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, the patron asked Shan Changjie to follow the standards of Zhongzhou and not just practice hard behind closed doors. Every time he made progress in cultivation, he would make great progress.
Leading Shan Changjie to secretly challenge the well-known overhaul, Shan Changjie was able to defeat the weak and the strong every time, and completed cross-level challenges many times.
Half a month ago, the protector left three secret scriptures to Shan Changjie, asking him to continue practicing and set off to return to Zhongzhou. The protector and Shan Xinfu made an agreement: the Shan family will serve as the internal correspondent of Deng State in the East, and Deng Guo will serve as
They provided all kinds of spiritual support. If one day, Deng's fleet arrived in the east, the Shan family would raise the flag of rebellion in the Wu Dynasty to welcome the king.
According to the patron's estimation, as the source's recovery deepens, the barriers between the eight wastelands will gradually weaken, and in ten years Deng's fleet should be able to cross the ocean and reach the Eastern Land.
Taking advantage of these ten years, Deng Guo eliminated the threats around him, strengthened his national strength, and prepared for the expedition.
Shan Nobufu didn't care at all about Dongtu, Dawu, and doing business with Beiyuan Thirty-Six Divisions. Now it seems that it is just a small matter. This time he wants to make a big deal and sell the entire Dongtu!
Before the protector left, Shan Changjie had already broken through to the fifth level and four meals, and he would be able to reach the sixth level in two or three years! So Shan Xinfu was very confident about this time's [Dragon and Snake List].
If you can't find a way in the capital, then when your son is ranked among the dragons and snakes, and you go to pay homage to those important ministers, they will not refuse.
The father and son were riding alone in a large car. It looked no different from other large cars on the outside, but the decoration inside was very luxurious. The Shan family had made a lot of money and knew how to enjoy themselves. Shan Changjie was meditating in the car, and Shan Xinfu
The more I watch it, the more I like it. My son is very hardworking and will seize every moment to improve his strength.
The harder this bad guy works, the greater the harm he can cause.
…
On the East China Sea, hundreds of miles apart, there is a large ship riding the wind and waves. One of the ships is from the Imperial Master's command, escorting Akitsu Mashiro, a registered disciple of the Imperial Master.
After the Imperial Master returned to the country, he vigorously purged his subordinates and sent all those whose identities were "questionable" to a bitter and cold place. The Imperial Master did not need evidence. As long as I had doubts, I would send them all away.
Akitsu Mashiro was originally not outstanding among the many registered disciples of the Imperial Master, but he was of the right age, he was exactly thirteen years old this year, and he was fair-skinned, beautiful, and cute.
The Imperial Master never thought that she could really do anything in the [Dragon and Snake List]. She was mainly sent to make friends with Sun Changyan. It would be best to stay with Sun Changyan like Yu Ling and Meng Yaya.
This girl Yu Ling cannot be reused! She is too simple, but this Qiu Jin Mashiro is scheming enough to give Sun Changyan advice and severely squeeze out Princess Tianming.
This is Akitsu Mashiro's mission.
All the people on this ship did not know that there was another ship hundreds of miles away. In addition, the people on this ship were of mixed origins and belonged to six remote vassal states. These people may not be loyal supporters of the former king.
, but he must be a firm opponent of the National Preceptor.
The National Preceptor is covering the sky on Sang Island with one hand, and there is no way to kill all the opponents within this period of time. It is because there are too many opponents, and the National Preceptor can only drive them to the edge of Sang Island for the time being.
But the Imperial Master did not expect that a ship would come across the ocean, bringing the gift of the [King of Conqueror of Time and Space]! The evil gods are not stupid at all, on the contrary, they are very cunning. Starfire was in trouble, leaving the other two
The evil gods were alert. They also made some small changes to their "preaching" model because of the new situation.
For example, the "messengers of the gods" who arrived on Sang Island this time brought pure gifts. For the missionary work on Sang Island, the [King of Time and Space Conqueror] no longer emphasized the need for "equivalent exchange" and gave talents of dedication.
Get boons - at least not in the early stages.
They need to select a group of "chosen people" from the six opposing vassals. Our God will directly grant divine grace and transform them into high-level believers. Based on these chosen people, they will vigorously promote it on Mulberry Island.
The power of my God to attract more believers.
But Mulberry Island is originally a poor place, and the six vassal states are even more on the fringes of a poor place. What kind of outstanding talents can there be? The "envoys" have been busy for several months, but they have not found a suitable candidate...
This kind of "fitness" does not require the candidate to have a devout belief in the "King of Conqueror of Time and Space". It simply requires that the talent reaches a certain standard in order to be able to withstand the grace of "my god".
Later, the envoys had no choice but to recruit generals from among the dwarfs, gather all the relatively good seedlings, a total of thirty-one people, and then send them all to the altar.
In the end, only one lucky person among these people survived, and that was Shichiro Aoki, who was on the boat at this time.
Everyone on Aoki Shichiro's ship knew about the existence of Akitsu Mashiro. They went to Dawu to kill Akitsu Mashiro in the battle for the "Dragon and Snake Ranking", cut off an arm of the national master, and at the same time "revolt against the world".
"Da Wu" announced that there are still unyielding fighters on Sang Island, come closer to us!
However, the six opposing vassal states were really poor. There were a hundred people on a boat and only two small bags of japonica rice... Even the martial arts masters could only send people to fish every day to satisfy their hunger.
Fortunately, such a group of people are full of energy! I don’t know whether they are hypnotized by others or moved by themselves. Anyway, they feel that what they are doing is a very great cause...
…
In the southwest of the Wu Dynasty, the soldiers were always poor and disciplined. If caravans and the like passed through the defense area, they would definitely take a few percent off. Or even kill them all and take possession of the goods.
In recent years, the situation has gradually improved due to Master Sun's regulation. However, this "tradition" continues in some places. Today, there is a small army lying in wait at the mountain pass to make a fortune. But these people have now
All turned into corpses.
There was only one person who took action. He was very young. He was carrying a rattan bookcase. He was short and dark-skinned. He looked easy to bully.
"I told you, I don't have money but I'm very cruel. If you don't mess with me, I won't listen. Once I make a move, I can't stop you. I can only kill you all."
Luang Prabang shrugged while carrying the book box: "It doesn't matter anyway, no one knows it was me. I will continue to go to the capital to participate in the [Dragon and Snake Ranking]."
"The world has changed so much. When I first arranged the sleeping tomb, I was clearly in the middle of the continent. How come after I woke up, I went to the southwest border where no birds shit, looking for a handsome body, and turned it over.
I've searched the area for three hundred miles, but all of them are short and ugly, alas..."
He is no longer "Luang Prabang". Although his body is still fully awakened, he has mastered the art of splitting the gods and separated 30% of his soul. After seizing his body, he also has the strength of the Seventh Realm!
He first went out and took a walk to see what the world had become. If he could use the power of 30% of his souls to collect more cultivation resources in advance, that would naturally be better.
Before falling asleep, he was both good and evil, and came to this era. He was not bound by any morality or law.
…
Among the many young talents who came to the capital with ulterior motives and concealed their identities, the most shameless one may have been raped by General Wu Heng.
During this period of time, General Wu Heng was simply a replica of Lord Liu Zhi in the late emperor's time! He fought with those "treacherous ministers" in the court, but did not get much support from the emperor, so he became the scapegoat for who knows what happened.
Pay close attention to the movements of the human race to the outside world, and worry about missing any information, which will lead to the rise of the human race and completely drive the demon race out of the Eastern Land.
Regarding the [Dragon and Snake List], General Wu Heng felt that it was his duty to get involved. In particular, he wanted to take this opportunity to find out the true strength of the younger generation in the Wu cultivation world.
For this reason, he carefully selected one of the many human slaves, and with the help of Sir Skull Sophora's demon formation, he forcibly raised it to the fifth level. Unfortunately, it reached the level of a meal and could no longer be raised.
General Wu Heng detained the whole family of this "traitor" and threatened him not to betray. Then he used the ghost chariot guards, who were already very few secret agents in the Wu Dynasty, to assign an identity to this traitor and put him
Sent into the territory of Dawu.
…
The entire Eastern Land was turbulent. Dragons and snakes were rising. The emperor did not expect that a random event he held would turn out to be a clever move, attracting all the evil spirits and ghosts from the dark!
…
After some preparations on Master Sun's side, he was shocked to find that the team heading to the capital this time was very large. Ayu, Aban, Wan Qianlai, Shui Linghua, Yun Nianying... and other subordinates all sent young people from their families away
Come, some of them accompany me in person, and some of them write letters and send them to ask adults to take care of them.
Many of the outstanding disciples of the sects of the aristocratic families that have "trade cooperation" with Master Sun are in Nanni or on the island, and they also swarmed near Mengjiang Dusi, wanting to go with Master Sun.
For no other reason than to let everyone take a look: the group we have united around Mr. Sun will have successors and will become stronger and stronger in the next few hundred years.
Mr. Sun had a headache: If you do this, His Majesty will be very jealous!
Among this group of people, there are some who are even more desperate. They suggested that Mr. Sun pull out a flying palace from the late emperor and fly to the capital together. There are many people, and the flying palace is spacious and comfortable, which is suitable for this trip.
Transportation!
Mr. Sun asked Ayu to drag out the "great cleverness" who proposed this suggestion and beat him with eighty military sticks.
There were hundreds of people gathered near Mengjiang Dusi before departure. Lord Sun ordered them to be split into five teams, each with about a hundred people, which could ensure safety and not be so conspicuous - it was a bit self-deceiving, anyway.
It's better than everyone rushing into the capital.
Mr. Sun is also planning to have a talk with the emperor after this Dragon Snake List to share some of his power.
Meng Hebei didn't care about anything on the way, focusing on improving Meng Yaya's strength. Meng Hebei still had regrets in his heart that he couldn't compete with the adults that time.
He didn't dare to be unconvinced, but he was still sorry.
The Lord has also said that Sun Changyan will definitely not participate in this year's [Dragon and Snake Ranking]. Meng Hebei saw the opportunity. Although I did not win the number one prize, my sister-in-law has the status of number one!
Shui Linghua also came, bringing with him a junior sister from the sect named Xia Xiaoyu. She happened to be fourteen years old this year, and Master Sun had met her when he was in the East China Sea.
This girl is the treasure of the entire Shengshui Palace. She has grown up in the sect since she was a child. She was cute and beautiful when she was young. She is also well-behaved and sensible. She has excellent cultivation qualifications and is recognized as the successor of Shui Linghua.
As for the rumors in the sect that she was the illegitimate daughter of a certain elder, Shui Linghua thought that was nonsense!
Shui Linghua was very worried about Meng Hebei's IQ. You idiot, it only took a few days to go from Mengjiang Dusi to the capital? You also worked hard to tutor your sister. How useful is sharpening your guns in battle?
Shui Linghua took Xia Xiaoyu with her and soon became familiar with Sun Changyan. Then Shui Linghua could conjure up various precious ingredients every day. The young lady was very happy and left a bowl for Xia Xiaoyu every time she cooked.
These precious ingredients were all accumulated by the Holy Water Palace in the East China Sea over the years. Xia Xiaoyu has risen to two levels in just a few days! Do you think this is more useful than sharpening your weapons in battle?
Meng Hebei didn't realize it until he arrived outside the south gate of the capital. He immediately regretted it and complained to Shui Linghua: "Why didn't you remind me earlier? I thought we had a good relationship."
Shui Linghua chuckled and left, too lazy to pay attention to this idiot. What gave you this illusion? Just because you couldn't understand something before, you came to me to ask for advice and I helped you?
This time Meng Yaya and Xia Xiaoyu are in a direct competitive relationship. It would be nice if I don't add insult to injury. Do you have to remind me?
Meng Hebei scratched his head in annoyance. Meng Yaya quietly tugged at the corner of her brother's clothes and whispered slyly: "Brother, it's okay. Miss leaves a bowl for me every day."
Meng Hebei was stunned for a moment, and he was filled with gratitude to Sun Changyan. Lord Sun had trained him for many years, but he might not be able to convince Meng Hebei - it was not that Meng Hebei was ungrateful, but that he still had the "awkward" nature of a humble family.
Mentality - But this move by the young lady made Meng Hebei completely loyal to the brother and sister.
Master Sun's team entered the city from the south gate of the capital, but suddenly stopped. There was a burst of noise in front of them. A Yu, who was following Master Sun, immediately said: "Sir, wait a moment, my subordinates will go down and deal with it."
When Mr. Sun was sitting on the Diaoyutai with his subordinates around him, most things in this world no longer needed to be dealt with personally. But the rest of the team crowded forward and wanted to see what was going on.
Meng Hebei and his sister also went to join in the fun.
At the gate of the city, Liang Yi was injured. Several acquaintances supported him. Opposite him were a group of domineering young people. Meng Yaya pouted: "It's useless. You have been with us for so long, and you are not even a dandy from the capital."
You can’t even win.”
Liang Yi's face suddenly turned red, as if he felt more uncomfortable than being injured: "They don't follow martial ethics, four of them beat me one..."
When Meng Yaya heard this, her eyes immediately widened and she stepped up: "Is what he said true?" Someone from the group of young people opposite sneered and said: "Little girl, the water in the capital is very deep, don't force yourself to stand out.
, implicating myself and my family in it!”
Ayu was nearby and had already figured out the whole story. Feeling that it was a little tricky, he turned back and reported to the adults: "He is the younger brother of the imperial concubine."
The fifth prince got married early, but he was not favored when he was still a prince, and the concubine's family background was not prominent. Later, he took in two concubines. After he ascended the throne, everyone in the Wu Dynasty was looking forward to the birth of the prince, but the queen
Nothing came out. Until three months ago, a concubine gave birth to the first prince. The country was stable, and both the government and the public breathed a sigh of relief.
The concubine was also named a noble concubine, and her child was likely to be the future prince.
So the imperial concubine and her family cheered up in the capital! At that time, the family background of the imperial concubine was not prominent, let alone these concubines. The behavior of this family was basically that of the nouveau riche.
Liang Yi is a relative of the emperor's grandmother, but the one who attacks is obviously more powerful! Ayu is not afraid of the other party's power, but is worried that if he doesn't handle it well, it will make things difficult for adults.
Master Sun asked: "How did they conflict?"
Ayu answered truthfully: "The other party fought for the way, but Liang Yi refused to give in. The four of them attacked first and beat Liang Yi." Lord Sun then said: "Then let's do business... don't stop Meng Yaya."
A-Yu wondered why the adults mentioned Meng Ya-Ya. There were screams from the city gate. A-Yu turned around and saw that the troublemaking dudes had been slapped away by Meng Ya-Ya!
She is submissive in front of young ladies, but is very domineering in front of outsiders. She can break stone monuments with her small hands and capture tigers and leopards alive.
The remaining five or six people swarmed up, cursing, and Liang Yi shouted: "Yaya, let me help you!" Before he could rush forward, all those dudes had been beaten away by Meng Yaya. Meng Yaya turned back.
She came up and gave Liang Yi another kick - Liang Yi was very experienced in being hit by her. He immediately crossed his hands in front of him and was kicked several feet away but was not injured.
Meng Yaya pouted: "No matter how many of them attack you, if you can't win, you are useless."
Chapter completed!
