Cao Su saw that Weng Xiao's face looked strange and realized that something might have gone wrong.
Weng Xiao, who had previously looked confident of winning, was now sweating profusely. His face, which was already a bit pale, became even more miserable. The previously stable Taoist charm around his body began to become scattered.
"You bastard, how dare you destroy my baby?"
Weng Xiao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, he became furious and shouted angrily.
He changed the seals one after another, obviously in a hurry, but the more anxious he was, the huge cloud seemed to become more and more arrogant, and the transformed human face suddenly opened its mouth. Instead of the previous copper bell flying out, on the contrary, it was filled with
A burst of extremely cold air came out, heading towards the door facing the two of them.
Cao Su has never taken action. The formation of this dark cloud monster is quite strange, and it is obviously related to Leng Gong and the late emperor's many concubines.
Therefore, Cao Su was more cautious, and Weng Xiao was a Qi practitioner who practiced Taoism. He had some abilities to invigorate the yin and replenish the spirit, so it was more appropriate for Weng Xiao to take action first. Unexpectedly, Weng Xiao was a great monk in the late stage of pill formation.
, the first time I took action was so embarrassing, not only could I not help the cloud, but my magic weapon seemed to have fallen into the cloud.
"General, I am afraid that this thing has become a spirit. With the blessing of the Taiyin Land, this monster is extremely powerful. The poor man's 'Bronze Soul Bell' is a first-class Yin magic weapon. It should be able to absorb part of it.
This monster's Yin Qi was unexpectedly captured by that monster. Now that Pindao has lost the connection with the 'Soul Bell', he is afraid that it was transformed by that monster." Weng Xiao's face turned pale, and the magic weapon was forcibly taken away. He said to
He also suffered some damage to his body. Although the damage was not great, it made him feel dull.
All the soldiers under Cao Su looked at the demonic cloud above in surprise. If even Weng Xiao couldn't do anything to him, what would they do next?
"The black-armored general from before may have had his soul taken away by the demonic cloud, and what is left there is just a body. But now the demonic cloud is gone. If it is allowed to remain here,
If you nourish your energy, within a hundred years, the entire imperial city will become the land of Taiyin." Weng Xiao looked solemn. Fortunately, today the general was so blessed that he suddenly came to Leng Palace to take away the Thunder Prison, otherwise he would not have discovered such a thing.
Cao Su sneered: "The entire imperial city? I'm afraid it's more than that? You see, all the luck dragons shattered and fell to the ground. The entire city has lost a lot of luck, and the imperial city is even more gloomy. Even if it's not the evildoers in the cold palace, it won't happen again."
After a period of time, there will be monsters causing trouble in the Imperial City. In the final analysis, there is still no luck and dragon energy to suppress it, and the Imperial City is indeed at risk of evil changes."
I didn't understand it at first, but it's different now. After the war, Cao Su also communicated with the people in the Taoist Palace and understood these basic situations.
But now when Cao Su was facing Yaoyun, he suddenly brought up the matter again, which seemed to have something more to it.
"The most urgent task is to suppress this evildoer first."
Weng Xiao said in a deep voice: "My Lord, why don't you invite the Taoist priests from the Taoist Palace to come and take a look."
Ma Chao, Gong Wu and others immediately put forward different opinions: "What about now? Let this monster cloud be arrogant and domineering here? Why not call an army over and kill it with strong bows and fire."
The warriors can think of no good solution, it is nothing more than fighting and killing.
The warriors under Cao Su are already good. At least they can think that the demonic cloud is a yin object. Since it is a yin object, fire attack is definitely a more suitable method.
After hearing this, Weng Xiao didn't say no, he just emphasized the existence of the Taiyin Land: "The Taiyin Land has a strange origin. The only thing that can be seen now is that this monster seems to dare not leave the cold palace, that is, this
The land of the moon."
The demonic clouds roared above the cold palace, spewing out gloomy yin energy at them. The martial artist who had lived in the cold palace for a long time, no matter how strong his energy and blood, would be penetrated by the yin wind sooner or later, just like the black-armored general guarding the Thunder Prison.
A martial artist with a high level of strength, his flesh and blood dissipated like this, and was finally controlled by Yaoyun, turning him into an empty frame.
Cao Su raised his head and glanced at the demonic cloud. The demonic cloud could only roar. Although it had swallowed Weng Xiao's bronze bell magic weapon, it seemed to have no offensive power and could not get out of the cold palace.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Although the Taoist Palace has closed the mountain, the Imperial Master has agreed that I will continue to establish the Demon-Slaying Taoist Hall. The leader of the first phase of the Demon-Slaying Taoist Hall will be Taoist Master Qingxiao.
The leader is a friend of mine for many years. You will quickly send a message to Taoist Master Qingxiao and ask him to find a few monks who are good at the 'Yang Attribute' Taoist method to come and have a look. If possible, we will join forces to suppress this demonic cloud.
Don’t let this place grow bigger.”
After Cao Su sent the order, his soldiers immediately followed the order and left.
He felt a little regretful that he could not find the Thunder Prison and only saw such a strange scene.
Weng Xiao said: "The vitality of the Taoist palace is seriously injured, and there may not be a suitable Taoist priest in the palace. It seems more important to leave this matter to Jiulingshan to handle it. After all, the Qi refiners in Jiulingshan are all good at the Five Elements Taoism."
.”
As soon as Weng Xiao said this, Cao Su also followed the advice and said with a smile: "Weng Gong's words are reasonable."
Cao Su immediately ordered someone to send an order to Jiuling Mountain, asking Jiuling Mountain to reinforce a certain number of Qi refiners to come and deal with the matter.
His mind moved: "Why don't I invite a few more sects from the cultivation world and invite them to come to the imperial city to have a look. When there are more people, there will be more ways. They will always think of ways to deal with this matter. It's better than
It is much better for us mere mortals to use 'rockets' to refresh the yin energy."
Cao Su's semi-ridiculous words made several "ordinary people" under his command laugh.
Ma Chao, Gong Wu and others don't care about what Cao Su calls "ordinary people". Wufu is more vulgar. Since the Qi Refiners are superior, letting them handle this matter is more like an arrangement for them.
"What's more, the Yin Qi here is too strong, which is really not conducive to martial artists stationed there for a long time."
When Cao Su thought of this, he already found a suitable way to deal with it. First, he designated a certain area in the cold palace area, and the Cao army guarding the imperial city guarded the imperial city according to the area where the Yin Qi could not invade, while other places continued to remain the same.
There are strict guards with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Cao Su had changed his temper, Weng Xiao did not immediately take action himself, but took the evil sword to solve this cloud, and he immediately showed a satisfied smile: "
My lord, this is a very clever plan."
Cao Su smiled when he heard this, and Weng Xiao didn't say what was "wonderful" about it.
Perhaps he took the opportunity to further strengthen his control over the imperial city?
Or could it be that other cultivation sects were brought in to divide the Tao Palace's influence in the divine capital?
Or should we take this as an opportunity to completely activate the operating mechanism of the Demon-Slaying Dao Hall and prepare to drastically rectify the entire world of cultivation. Should we start to further rectify some of the original unreasonable violations of law and discipline?
After the master and servant looked at each other, they laughed tacitly.
In comparison, the dark cloud of Leng Gong, which is still roaring incompetently above its head, is more like a monster that has just grown up. It can't do anything to people outside Leng Gong, let alone Cao Su, Weng Xiao and others.
Cao Su laughed and said: "It's a pity that Mr. Weng has a superior magic weapon."
Weng Xiao smiled: "It's not a pity, it's all what it should be."
——
A few days later, Shendu.
The entire god has been purged several times and has regained a little vitality.
Although there are still a lot of people doing casual things in the city, as time goes by, the gloomy clouds gradually begin to dissipate, and some business travelers appear on the streets. Restaurants, gambling houses, brothels and other entertainment venues in the city also begin to open for business.
The meaning of life is greater than the sky, but time can kill everything. People have not forgotten the sorrow of the past, but living is the more important thing in front of them.
When Cao Su took control of the imperial court, his first decree was to split the Imperial Guard Department.
No one expected that the organization Cao Su would attack for the first time would be the Arch Guard Department.
The Gongwei Division was Cao Su's old unit. Unexpectedly, Cao Su would raise his butcher knife to the Gongwei Division. Everyone can understand this.
Correspondingly, there was the establishment of the Military Machinery Pavilion. After the establishment of the Military Machinery Pavilion, the Prime Minister became the prime minister in the actual sense, dividing the original power of the left and right ministers, but he was still above the officials.
The Gongwei Department was dismantled, and Jiang Qi, the original commander of the Gongwei Department, was promoted to General Right, Military Assistant Minister, which was equivalent to entering the Military Machine Pavilion. Although it was a second-grade official position, in a practical sense, he was ranked ahead of some first-grade officers.
This is equivalent to supplementing Jiang Qi, and Jiang Qi also acquiesced in this matter and gave Cao Su a lot of help during the process of splitting the Arch Guard Division.
Some of the secret guards in the Gongwei Division were directly controlled by Cao Su, and the original Tianwu Division and the Suppressing Evil Division were directly disbanded. The two parties plus some personnel from the original Forbidden Army re-established new departments for the five cities of the East, West, South, North, and Central Military and Horse Divisions.
, was in charge of the 108th city of Shendu, and had curfew and fire prevention powers. The northern and southern imperial guards were completely dispersed by Cao Su. According to Cao Su's next plan, the city defense army and the Zhili army were managed separately. The city defense also had
If you have the opportunity, you can patrol on weekdays and so on, and the Zhili Army can set up the Luoshui Camp. On weekdays, there are no tiger symbols and general orders, and the soldiers and horses must not move lightly.
Through the split of the Imperial Guard Department, Cao Su gradually began to rectify the personnel structure of all major departments in the imperial court.
If these departments are fully staffed, it may not be so easy for Cao Su to adjust.
But at this moment, many people in these departments died in the turmoil, and some became food for monsters. With the lack of numbers, no one could stop Cao Su's blade, allowing Cao Su to slaughter at will.
Some previously redundant departments and positions were cut off, the government agencies were streamlined, and his former staff were deployed in the court.
Cao Su's methods were much more sophisticated than Rong Zheng's. The key thing Rong Zheng wanted to do was to get rid of the influence of the Wen family, kill the entire Rong family, and uproot almost all the Yang and Yuwen families, but he didn't think about it.
Due to the rectification of court duties, when he came to power in the later period, the court was still smoky, no different from the Daozong and Xiaozong dynasties.
Cao Su took over Rongzheng's peach, and neither the royal family nor the clan needed him to eradicate it, and there was little resistance in the court.
A streamlined small court is more suitable for the current Cao Su. He easily completed some power transfers and quickly took the entire court into his own hands.
In the entire court, Feng Yuchan was the only one who could be listened to by the emperor.
But what's the use of Feng Yuchan alone? Feng Yuchan didn't even enter the military aircraft pavilion, and his power was quickly eclipsed by Cao Su. Apart from commuting to get off work on time every day, what else can he do?——
Three months later, by the Luoshui River.
The large ship from Jizhou docked at Luoshui Wharf in the north of Shendu.
The ships on the wharf were like smoke, and ships coming from south to north transported goods here. After Cao Su took control of the court, he reached out to control Luoshui Wharf and renamed it "Shendu Wharf".
Nowadays, at the Shendu Wharf, although the original water transport bureau is still operating, there is an inexplicable additional direct management department above it - the water transport yamen.
This yamen was a department specially set up by Cao Su after he streamlined many departments. The direct leader of the department and the person in charge of the yamen, that is, the Shendu Water Transport Department, was a little-known figure in Shendu - Yang Ping.
It is said that this Yang Ping is a good friend of the general who has known him since his early years. He was originally just a small official, living in a time when the gods were not prominent.
Although he has a handsome appearance, he has always been depressed because of his lack of background.
Now, he has soared into the sky, and was appointed by the general as the first Water Transport Department of Shendu, with an official rank of fourth rank.
On this day, Yang Ping, the newly appointed Water Transport Department of Shendu, led several government officials to the dock. In addition to one kind of government officials, there were also two black armored men with long auras, fierce faces, and strong physiques standing behind him.
There was a strong bloody aura about him, which was incompatible with the people around him. When he got closer, he seemed to have a murderous aura on the battlefield. At a glance, he could tell that he was a master in the military.
Yang Ping stood on the pier and waited for a long time. His newly worn robe was also a little wet from the wind and waves, but Yang Ping never had any intention of leaving and looked eagerly at Luoshui.
There are too many ships on Luoshui River. There was no management at first, and some water transport gangs were allowed to develop freely.
But now, under the instructions of the general, the water transport business should theoretically be run by the government. For this reason, the day before yesterday, Yang Ping specially found the heads of more than a dozen water transport gangs, large and small, and "invited" these heads to the Yamen
Visit here to discuss joint development of water transportation.
In the words of the general, this is called "negotiation". When the government handles affairs, it does not mean that gangs are not allowed to operate, but the prerequisite is that they must operate under reasonable rules and regulations. They cannot deliberately suppress their development, nor allow them to grow wildly.
After Yang Ping listened to the general's words, the more he understood them, the more he found them to be unfathomable.
However, he came to the dock today not for water transportation, but because he wanted to meet the nobles of Jizhou.
"Master Yang, the ship from the General's Palace has arrived."
The military man next to Yang Ping spoke. As the ship docked at the shore, the shores on both sides had already been cleared by a large number of Cao's troops, leaving only Yang Ping and some officials from the water transport yamen waiting here for a long time.
Not long after, a group of nobles from Jizhou Prefecture got off the giant ship.
At the head were two gray-haired old men, several beautiful women, and a group of babies.
Seeing this, Yang Ping hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Yang Ping, has met Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao."
