Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh temporary head of state
General Gore made a wrong move. He should not have taken action against the cultivators of the Qin Empire before he captured Blackwater City and killed the young emperor.
Countless cultivation sects were razed to the ground or burned to the ground by the iron hoofs of the Crusaders. This made the cultivation world of the Qin Empire unite with the same enemy and launch a desperate counterattack against the Crusaders.
More and more cultivators joined the army. At Zhenshuiguan alone, the number of cultivators charging on the battlefield reached five hundred. This was unprecedented in the war history of the Qin Empire, because cultivators
Those who rarely participate in human wars.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Yuan was just a trigger. What really caused the people of the Qin Empire to rebel was the Crusaders' attempt to destroy the Qin Taoism, which made the scholar-bureaucrats and some country gentry who had been living in poverty come forward.
Because resistance was like a spark that started a prairie fire, the Crusaders changed their previous image of a civilized army and began a brutal and bloody suppression. In just a few months, several cities were massacred, and millions of soldiers and civilians of the Qin Empire were killed and injured. The Crusaders showed their wolfish ambitions.
.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
In the continuous confrontation, countless heroic figures emerged...
…
In some local areas, the Crusaders and the armies of the Qin Empire fell into a stalemate, and the fighting was far more tragic than in the early stages of the war.
It was only then that the Crusaders discovered that the Qin soldiers were not really vulnerable.
The Qin Empire has always been a martial artist. At first, the Crusaders marched in, mainly because of the political corruption of the Qin Empire. After the Crusaders showed their ferocious faces, the people of the Qin Empire also showed their heroic and passionate side.
We only arrived at Heishui City from Zhao Yuan. Heishui City seemed to be far away from the war overnight. However, Heishui City was not at ease. In addition to the political struggle that was fought to the death, the atmosphere of war was also very strong. In addition to collecting materials to prepare for war, military training was held every day.
Everything is going on, and in the process of running in, the tacit understanding between the Cinu Cavalry and the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire is getting better and better.
In these three months, Zhao Yuan and General Chang Kong were assassinated several times, and each assassination was followed by large-scale retaliation.
There are over a thousand heads hanging on the walls of Blackwater City. Many of the heads have dried and have sunken eye sockets, making them look particularly ferocious and terrifying.
Under General Changkong's unswerving efforts, the constitutional monarchy began to take shape.
The three departments with separate powers also have their own style.
Facing this new thing, the vast majority of people have a repulsive attitude. Even some of General Chang Kong's confidants are quite critical because this kind of political reform affects the interests of too many people.
Every day, people would go to General Changkong's residence to lobby, but General Changkong seemed determined. He even personally killed several immediate family members while promoting political reform...
…
It's snowing.
The blizzard became more and more violent, and the sky began to freeze. People's noses and cheeks froze even more. The cold air poured into the leather jacket more frequently, and the clothes needed to be wrapped tighter. Sometimes the sled was on the bare ice.
The surface was rolling because all the snow on the ground was blown away by the wind.
Standing on the city wall, Zhao Yuan seemed to feel that there was a strong light shining on the snow-white wilderness. The horizon widened greatly, and the low and dark sky suddenly disappeared. In all directions, he could only see white diagonal lines formed by falling snow.
In the wilderness, the wind stubbornly blows everything in one direction.
On the right and left, everywhere is white and gray, and the earth is rustling over and over again...
…
Zhao Yuan stood in the wind and snow, the heavy snow had completely covered him, like a lifeless snowman.
In just three months, Zhao Yuan realized the cruelty of politics. Zhao Yuan would rather fight on the battlefield than get involved in political struggles.
Zhao Yuan originally thought that as long as he and General Chang Kong worked together to promote the constitutional monarchy, the constitutional monarchy would soon bear fruit. In fact, this was indeed the case. However, in the process, there were killings and conspiracies. Thinking of these, Zhao Yuan
I had the urge to vomit.
Now, the structure of separation of powers has basically taken shape, except for a head-of-state figure.
General Chang Kong strongly recommended Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Yuan refused verbally. However, Zhao Yuan's refusal had little effect, because apart from Chang Kong and Zhao Yuan, no suitable candidate could be found.
In fact, even if there is, General Chang Kong is not at ease.
Under General Changkong's persuasion, Zhao Yuan finally agreed to temporarily serve as Prime Minister of the Qin Empire.
One year!
Zhao Yuan's promise to General Changkong is one year. After one year, no matter what happens to the Qin Empire, Zhao Yuan will step down.
When Zhao Yuan leaves office, if nothing else happens, the first democratically elected prime minister will appear on the territory of the Qin Empire.
It was said to be one year, but in fact, Zhao Yuan knew that as long as the Qin Empire entered the counterattack, he would be able to get rid of the heavy paperwork.
The snow is falling harder and harder, and no other colors can be seen except heavy snow on the wasteland.
At this time, Zhao Yuan's entire body was covered in snow.
Zhao Yuan shook slightly, and the snow on his body shot up all over the sky, revealing his rock-like armor.
Zhao Yuan looked into the dark forest.
Has the White Dragon King rescued the giant dragon in the Black Rock Valley Pool?
How are Fairy Caixia and the others doing in the prehistoric area?
Thinking of Fairy Caixia and the others, suddenly, a ray of light flashed across the sky like a shooting star. A group of monsters who were standing around shivering from the cold discovered that Zhao Yuan, who was originally standing on the city wall, had disappeared.
The group of demons looked at each other in shock, but did not dare to leave. They kept walking back and forth, and some even activated their spiritual energy to keep warm. Suddenly, the demonic aura was strong on the city tower, prompting the cultivators to check one after another and saw that it was Zhao Yuan's.
A group of personal guards and cultivators then left.
Zhao Yuan arrived at Liaoyuan Trading Company.
Boss Xu, Qiu Xiaochong, and Xiaocui are all here.
Due to the invasion of the Crusaders, the Liaoyuan Trading Company, which was once in full swing, also suffered a heavy blow. However, in the intelligence business, the Liaoyuan Trading Company was booming because, amid the chaos of the war, there was a lot of tracing business.
"Brother Zhao!" Qiu Xiaochong looked surprised when he saw Zhao Yuan.
"Xiao Chong is not on duty today?"
"I'm on duty, so I took the time to come out and see my wife." Qiu Xiaochong chuckled.
"It won't happen again!" Zhao Yuan frowned.
"Brother Zhao now..."
"Xiao Chong, from now on, even if the three powers are separated, I can't protect you." Zhao Yuan said with a serious face.
"ah……"
"You idiot, why are you still standing there? Go back quickly. These are extraordinary times. Do you want to dismantle Brother Zhao?" Xiaocui grabbed Qiu Xiaochong's ear.
"... Don't talk nonsense, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going... It's so cold and freezing that I can't let anyone live... The Crusaders would not choose this time to attack the city...
"Qiu Xiaochong muttered and complained.
"If I were a Crusader general, I would attack Jiudaowan Barracks in the next few days." Zhao Yuan said calmly.
"ah……"
Qiu Xiaochong's body trembled, as if being pricked by a needle, he jumped up suddenly, picked up the iron rod and other objects on the corner of the door, and rushed into the vast snow. Immediately, there was a vibration of horse hooves, gradually disappearing...
…
"Is there any news from Honghuang?" Zhao Yuan sat down, took a sip of hot tea, and asked Boss Xu.
"We have placed a heavy reward and obtained a lot of information. However, there is no way to distinguish which rest is true and which rest is false..."
"Just tell me." Zhao Yuan nodded.
"I sorted out some mixed information, and there are some pieces of information that are somewhat reliable. For example, some people said that in an area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the prehistoric area, an ancient formation was accidentally activated. If
Fairy Caixia is really trapped in the prehistoric area, so it should be the ancient formation that was inadvertently activated."
"Continue." Zhao Yuan frowned.
"Some people say that there are magical weapons unearthed in the ancient area, which have attracted many master cultivators to rush there. In addition, some people say that there are cultivators who are about to ascend to immortality and are going through the tribulation in the ancient area. They have arranged formations to protect themselves.
...In short, there is a lot of information about the prehistoric area, and so far, these are the only ones that have been sorted out."
"Do you have a specific address?"
"No, the prehistoric area is too big. Except for the goblins and cultivators living in the prehistoric area, it is difficult for outsiders to determine the specific location, but..." Boss Xu hesitated.
"But what about it?"
"A few days ago, a seriously injured cultivator offered a map of the prehistoric zone in exchange for crystal stones. At that time, he refused because he didn't think too much..."
"Where does that cultivator live?" Zhao Yuan stood up in awe.
"General, don't worry. The cultivator was seriously injured in the Black Forest. It's freezing cold today, and he is short of money. He must still be stranded in Blackwater City. I will immediately arrange for someone to inquire and buy the map."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"It should, it should..."
Boss Xu looked flattered and smiled silly.
Over the years, Boss Xu always felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't believe that he was actually related to the undefeated God of War of the Great Qin Empire.
After Zhao Yuan and Xiao Cui chatted for a while, they stood up and left.
After leaving Liaoyuan Trading Company, Zhao Yuan flew towards the Black Forest Sword at lightning speed. After arriving at the edge of the Black Forest, he pressed the flying sword and ran all the way to the Longtan in the Black Rock Valley...
