Chapter 277 Internal and External Troubles, Mother River God (5k)
Yu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not afraid of any action, but he was afraid that he would never see any action.
Yu Ziqing closed his eyes, entered the seventh floor, and contacted Lao Song.
After not seeing the old Song people for a long time, Yu Ziqing was not in a hurry and continued to move forward. After waiting for most of the day, it was midnight and he felt the call of the ring on the seventh floor.
Entering it, you saw Lao Song already sitting there waiting.
"Have you been busy lately?" Yu Ziqing asked casually as he sat down to himself.
Old Song sighed.
"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, I thought I would have a few years of leisure, but I didn't expect that I would be busier than before.
In the past few years, various minor disasters have occurred one after another on the western and southern borders.
The second prince was ordered to patrol the world, and I couldn't take any time off.
Regarding the issues on the western border and the southern border, we have been patrolling for a long time, and a lot of various problems have been unearthed.
To be honest, if the new emperor had not ascended the throne, I would not dare to dig into some things.
If one is dug out, a large area will be dug out, and many people may die.
I thought that when the new emperor ascended the throne, everything would be focused on stabilizing power, but I didn’t expect that the new emperor is quite courageous."
Lao Song's expression was a little complicated. After a pause, he continued.
"It is rumored that the new emperor will make the former second prince, Prince Lian, the crown prince.
I can basically confirm that this matter is true, but I haven’t officially issued an edict to announce it to the world."
"Is this true?" Yu Ziqing was a little shocked.
He had heard of this rumor a long time ago. The true and false news about Yu Guili spread all over the sky all day long.
These people have mastered the traffic password. The truth or falsehood of the matter is not important. What is eye-catching and shocking is more important.
This Yugui has only been around for a few decades, and now it has begun to reverse again and again.
This group of bastards, it’s better not to imitate the leader of the Kuihou Kingdom. They are mainly engaged in entertainment, just for fun. In order to flatter people, if you are engaged in information, why should you imitate others?
So when I heard this rumor, Yu Ziqing said it went in his left ear and came out in his right ear, so he didn't care at all.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
Yu Ziqing couldn't help but glance at the new emperor of Daqian.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least on the surface, he is really courageous.
After thinking about it a little deeper, Yu Ziqing felt that he had not underestimated the prince back then, but he did not expect that he still underestimated him.
He has more clues than he thinks.
When he appointed the second prince as the crown prince, he had to ensure that he could not wait until the second prince was about to die of old age and still occupy the throne.
In other words, there is simply no suitable candidate among his descendants to establish him as the new crown prince.
Generally, when a new emperor ascends the throne, it is necessary to establish a queen for the stability of the divine dynasty.
It is also necessary to establish a prince.
This is no longer a pure personal choice, but the best and simplest means to stabilize the political situation.
This is also about avoiding various risks and leaving precautions against unexpected situations.
Otherwise, Lao Zhang wouldn't be chasing after him to urge him to get married.
If Datui had not developed steadily and prospered, it would not have had any contact with the outside world at this stage.
Lao Zhang will never do anything, but still chase him to urge him to get married.
So, is the new emperor Daqian certain that he won't live long, or that he won't be able to sit on the throne for long?
Then he must have a very clear understanding now.
This is interesting. The God King used him as a pawn. This little kid is now blind and deaf, but he is still so arrogant. Does he really think he can do whatever he wants without dying?
I wonder if arrogance has always been one of the top three factors in the path to death.
Since the last time, before the prince ascended the throne, he came to him to exorcise demons and even took away his demonic thoughts.
At that time, Yu Ziqing felt that this guy had some ideas, but now it seems that he has more than just ideas.
Yu Ziqing felt that he should also slightly change his previous thoughts. For example, when the time was right, he should contact the new emperor more.
It's okay to contact them through the hands of the new No. 5. If necessary, it's not impossible to take action in person.
The God King's chess piece, the Qian Emperor's chess piece, is not only struggling, he seems to want to overturn the chessboard.
If you don't give some help to this situation, why are you waiting for it? Should you wait until the overall situation is decided before taking action?
Yu Ziqing's thoughts turned quickly and he continued to ask.
"What's going on at the estuary?"
"This issue is a bit complicated and I haven't fully investigated it yet.
The information that has been traced so far involves many aspects.
The main stream of Mujiang River has a wide range of implications, from resources to people's livelihood, to transportation, etc., involving nearly half of the population of Daqian.
A large amount of manpower, material and financial resources are invested in river dredging every year.
But the problem is that in the past few hundred years, there have been endless fights within the imperial bureau, and the situation of seizing the heir has become serious, and it has reached the point of treating people wrongly.
There are more and more demons and monsters down there, but they are protected by officials and have not been dug out.
The allocation for dredging rivers has been squandered by corruption. It is increased every year, but it is still not enough.
As for the main stream of the Mujiang River, there has never been a river god before, and the river gods of the tributaries are not eligible to enter the main stream.
This matter has been put on hold, especially in recent years, when everyone's attention has been on the west and south.
It wasn't until an earth dragon turned over in the northeast and shook up a mountain range that it completely lost control.
The course of the Mujiang River was changed, and even its entrance to the sea was changed.
Such a powerful force that suddenly explodes cannot be stopped by human power.
At most, you can only control the direction of the diversion a little bit, so as not to completely lose control.
And I went to investigate and found that the mother river god had disappeared before the river was diverted.
I checked the files and found that Mother River God had given a warning three months ago.
It's a pity that the news was suppressed by a fool, and now even this guy is dead.
On the surface, he committed suicide, leaving half a body behind.
Anyway, it's a mess. After the Mujiang River was diverted, it had a huge impact, and it's still unclear whether it has really stabilized.
The losses are even more incalculable. Just the number of people who died is conservatively estimated to be in the millions.
These days, the new emperor has given death to three princes.
Jin Yiwei's decapitating knife was so severe that it curled up.
Damn it, how dare these guys.
I personally went to sit in charge, and I personally took care of four of the Jinyiwei's guardhouses.
Not a single innocent person could be found among those guys. No wonder I haven't gotten any news over the years.
If my response was any slower, I would have gone to Caishikou and knelt next to the Duke.
Even so, he was fined eighty years' salary.
I haven’t seen what my salary looks like in years, and these bastards are still trying to trick me.”
The more Lao Song talked, the angrier he became, and his murderous aura slowly rose.
Yu Ziqing couldn't help but grin, Lao Song was really miserable.
Judging from the situation, Lao Song was about to start receiving his salary again, but this time it was over.
The amount of salary is not important, he is not short of the money. What is important is that Lao Song has spoken out his words in advance.
But he was tricked by the people from the guardhouse below.
He didn't kill a few high-level officials, so he showed restraint.
What Lao Song said was not too different from Yu Ziqing's guess.
The sudden change of course of the Mujiang River must not have happened without warning. It must have been a combination of various factors that caused the final qualitative change.
"Are there any traces of external interference? Or was it just the combination of various internal and external factors that made it completely out of control?"
"Except for the Mother River God, everything we have found so far is at the level of ordinary eucalyptus."
Lao Song was a little silent.
If a person does something just to keep his position, he may just cover up some information that is unfavorable to him.
But there are really too many people who do this, and when they gather together, they lead to the current consequences.
"Is the Mother River God missing or dead?"
"Currently, it seems that he is just missing and probably not dead. Some people speculate that he is absconding out of fear of crime.
Nonsense, if the Mother River God wanted to escape, he wouldn't have warned her in advance.
Moreover, Mujiang Jiji's illness turned him into what he is today. It took him only a few days to become the Mujiang River God.
Until now, he has not even been able to control the entire Mujiang River.
No matter how hard he finds someone to take the blame, he will not be executed.
But so far, we can’t find the mother river god, and there are no clues.”
Yu Ziqing thought for a while and said.
"I just came back from the East China Sea. I'll take a look at the Mujiang River for you on the way."
"Then... thank you for your work." Lao Song bowed his hand. He had been really worried recently.
After leaving the ring on the seventh floor, Yu Ziqing sent a letter to be delivered to Dadui.
From minor disasters to major disasters, well, don’t these guys have any new ideas?
Just after listening to it, Yu Ziqing had a very strong feeling of déjà vu.
Isn't this the way Datui has changed?
But that’s right, there is nothing new under the sun. No matter how many things change, if you look at their essence, they are actually the same.
Let A Fourteen sort out the history of Datu. He wants to take a good look at it and then predict what will happen next.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, chaos on earth, rampant monsters, etc. are all these things.
Yu Ziqing entered the Mujiang River from the mouth of the Mujiang River, and the flying boat sank directly into the river. As soon as he had an idea, he flew a little higher in front of the river, and the flying boat slowly disappeared and entered the earthly divine kingdom of the Mujiang River.
Entering it, the chaos was even greater than outside, the river was roaring, and the river was filled with corpses of various aquatic creatures.
But here, the Kingdom of God is twisted and illusory. What is shown here is the former river channel and the former mouth of the sea.
Constant distortion, extreme chaos.
Yu Ziqing took a flying boat and traveled upstream along the Mujiang Kingdom.
In the source of the earth, the holy voices of the sages became steady and loud. There was no power in the sound, but there was a kind of charm that spread with Yu Ziqing as the center.
Wherever it passed, the angry river slowly calmed down, and the illusory and distorted parts began to slowly return to normal.
Yu Ziqing moved forward unhurriedly, following the main stream and upstream, and smoothly dredged and calmed down the mother river kingdom.
Don't let it continue to accumulate chaotic power, waiting for the next outbreak.
All the way to the source of Mujiang Kingdom, Yu Ziqing stood on the bow of the boat and shook his head gently.
"Stop hiding, come out. If you can't tell the difference between us and the enemy now, you are really dead."
The river surged, slowly condensing into a human figure, and the outline of the human figure condensed again, turning into a man with one leg missing, an unshaven beard, and a pale complexion, as if his vitality was severely damaged.
The other party looked at Yu Ziqing, and he could naturally recognize Yu Ziqing's face as Qing Ziyu from Jinlan Mountain.
Everyone in the big influence would recognize this young face, just to prevent him from offending others because he couldn't recognize him.
Over the years, the number of strong men who have died at the hands of Jin Lanshan, the strong men who have died indirectly at the hands of Jin Lanshan, or those who have anything to do with Jin Lanshan can be counted with both hands.
Although most of them have no direct relationship with Jinlan Mountain, even their deaths were in vain.
But when that strong man died, your people from Jinlan Mountain were always there, which was a little different.
Then he glanced at King Ruan Ren, who was motionless and had his eyes closed.
He could detect that King Ruan Ren's aura was extremely obscure and difficult to sense, and he could only feel that it was extremely dangerous.
But so far, the other party has ignored him at all, closing his eyes and not even looking at him.
Mother River God was secretly worried, Jinlan Mountain was indeed mysterious and unpredictable, and its details far exceeded everyone's expectations.
And the importance of this Qing Ziyu is definitely not just as simple as being a young master of Jinlan Mountain. He is escorted by such a strong person when he goes out.
Yu Ziqing also looked at the mother river god. His aura was weak and he was missing a leg. For the earth creature, this was no ordinary injury.
If the ground is only injured and the appearance shows that it is missing arms and legs, then it must have damaged the foundation and the origin.
Previously, Yu Ziqing heard from Lao Song that his mother, the River God, had disappeared and was not dead, but there was no one alive or dead body.
As a land creature, when this happened, Yu Ziqing knew that the Mujiang River God must still be hiding in Mujiang.
Only in this place can he hide so well that no one can find him.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
"I handed over a warning memorial, and within three days, two powerful men came disguised as holy envoys.
They were holding tokens and had a big seal stamped on them, so I had no doubts.
I thought it was because the imperial court responded quickly and wanted to prevent hidden dangers before they occurred, so they naturally cooperated fully.
Unexpectedly, when I left the Kingdom of Earthly God and arrived at the place where the river needed to be dredged, these two people took advantage of my unpreparedness and attacked me with the god-killing torture device of the Divine Dynasty.
That’s when I knew I knew too much.”
Mother River God sneered, her smile was very ironic.
"If you want to assassinate me, you may even forge a seal and carry the god-killing treasure.
Naturally, it involves big shots and the interests of many people.
Unfortunately, these fools did not expect that the Mujiang River would directly change its course and flow into Haikou.
Now none of them can survive, and they will all die."
Yu Ziqing sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
If it is a normal situation, there will be no outside intervention.
Maybe this matter can really be suppressed quietly.
The biggest incident, at most, is the disappearance of the mother river god.
Mother River God warned, no matter how stupid those people are, they will not ignore it and do it quietly.
No, if you do it openly and above all, you will eliminate the crisis, and when you are done, you can get a reward and make a contribution.
But now there are external forces who want to cause trouble, and if they add a little fuel to the flames, it will directly become a big event that no one can control.
What was originally a matter of embankment overflowing directly escalated into the diversion of the main stream of the Mujiang River.
With such a big event happening, and the new emperor already having a tendency to criticize like crazy, the Supreme Emperor was busy with his own affairs and no one knew where he was.
This is a sign that the great work is coming to an end.
Following the old path of Da Dui, and deteriorating much faster than Da Dui.
Despite his appearance, Daqian is still the strongest among the three divine dynasties.
When Da Dui is at his strongest, on the surface, it doesn't look like that.
Now it seems that, on the surface, the earthquake with the weakest comprehensive strength is actually the most resilient. Instead of going downhill, it is going up.
At least the juniors sent to Jinlan Mountain by Emperor Zhen are quite promising so far. Regardless of whether they are suitable to enter the court or not, there is a high probability that one or two strong men will emerge in the future.
"Do you know the two people who attacked you?"
"I don't know him. He's not a strong man on the surface. His origins are probably fake, and his face and body shape may also be fake."
Mother River God gritted her teeth and showed a ferocious smile. He stretched out his hand to grab a leg and took out a leg.
"They attacked me in a sneak attack, and my origin was damaged. I suffered heavy injuries and left traces.
Everything else is fake, except for your cultivation.
You can calm down the fluctuations in the Kingdom of God and give me a chance to recover.
I don't know why you have such ability, and I don't know why you can enter the Kingdom of Earth God.
However, those people can also enter the Kingdom of the Earthly God. In the eyes of some people, this method has long been ruined.
I don’t ask you, I will give you this leg too.
I don't have the ability to take revenge now, but these people are so crazy.
He actually sat back and watched the main stream of the Mujiang River change its course. Such a heinous crime. Are you really not afraid of retribution?
Who of them can afford it!
No matter what you want to do, I just ask you to calm Mujiang and let those two people die miserably."
Mother River God gnashed her teeth, her breath fluctuated violently, and her eyes turned red.
Yu Ziqing took over the mother River God's leg and could sense that there was the power and aura of the person who made the sneak attack.
This mother river god is a ruthless person and decisive in situations.
But one thing is right, no one can bear such heinous crimes.
"I was entrusted by someone to come here, and no one dares to cheat on this matter.
Don't worry, you won't be punished, you can rest here well."
The mother river god dived to the bottom of the river and continued to recover from her injuries.
And he went all the way to the place where the river originally needed to be dredged, and left the Kingdom of Earth God.
At night, when the moon was high, Yu Ziqing searched for the place where the mother river god was attacked.
He raised his head, looked at the bright moon, and murmured to himself.
"Moon God, please help me."
Supernatural power, moonlight.
Under the moonlight, Yu Ziqing seemed to see time going back. Under the witness of the bright moon, everything that happened night before was unfolding before his eyes.
Time has passed and it is not that difficult to look back.
Just as Yu Ziqing expected and felt, the longer it goes on, the harder it will be to look back. The greater the impact, the harder it will be to look back.
tomato
However, with the blessing of the Moon God, Hui Shuo only lasted a few months, so there was no big problem.
Soon, Yu Ziqing saw what happened that night.
Mother River God led two strong men out of the Kingdom of Earth God. At this time, the power of Earth God will be far weaker than in the Kingdom of Earth God.
There were two people who cooperated tacitly and attacked the mother river god from behind.
The mother river god was severely injured without a single blow, but this ruthless man tried his best to injure himself even more seriously, forcibly leaving behind some things and falling into the mother river and disappearing.
The two men looked a little ugly, and they entered the Kingdom of Earth again to pursue them, but unfortunately there was no result.
Yu Ziqing took out a pen and paper and drew a portrait of the two people, as well as a magic weapon.
