Xue Han, the daughter of Ba family, the leader of the five major families in Ba County, is the most talented in martial arts. She practices Yin Yang magic.
The Ba family controls all the cinnabar mineral resources in Ba County. Based on this alone, the Ba family can occupy the top positions in the ranking of merchants in the world.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this that the Yin Yang family has a very close relationship with Ba Shi. Every year, the Yin Yang family brings high profits to Ba Shi in the Cinsha industry.
Currently, the Yin and Yang family, including Yunzhong Lord Xu Fu, Dharma Protector Moon God, and Dharma Protector Star Soul, are all at the center of the Qin Kingdom, and they can be said to be highly relied upon by the King of Qin.
This time, the Ba clan suddenly encountered a disaster, and the clan leader Ba Tong died. Ba Qing had to deal with the other four clans who were eyeing him, as well as an old and cunning county guard. In addition to taking advantage of the situation to temporarily protect himself, Ba Qing naturally thought of contacting the Yin Yang family.
…
Qin State, Xianyang Palace.
"absurd!"
A loud shout shook the hall, and Ying Zheng stood up with a slap on the table, his brows raised angrily, his eyes sharp, and he glared so hard that all the people in his highness bowed their heads and bent down.
"The two counties of Bashu and Bashu suffered from natural disasters, wild beasts, birds, and water monsters. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there has never been such a ridiculous thing!"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Li Si took a step forward, held up his hands and advised: "The news from Bashu, according to the sergeant who sent the message, was that only one or two of the dozens of elites arrived in Xianyang. Precisely because this statement is absurd, it should be treated with caution.
"
"Do you think that these ridiculous reports are all facts?"
Ying Zheng held down the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, and lowered his eyes with his slender eyebrows, "In the two counties of Bashu, more than half of the salt is unsaleable in a quarter, and the domestic salt market has been invaded by the East. These grotesque and ridiculous natural disasters are like
It’s an excuse for local incompetence.”
"Your Majesty, is it an excuse or a fact? I'm going to send out the elite snares to find out what's going on in Sichuan. It's just..."
Li Si hesitated a little, his eyes flashed, but he still firmed up his judgment, "Coming back and forth to the land of Bashu takes a long time. If there is such a disaster in Bashu, disaster prevention is a top priority. What is even more difficult is that in the next period,
Within a certain period of time, it is completely impossible to prevent Qi State’s refined salt from occupying the market.”
Natural disasters in Bashu, Salt War in Qi...
Ying Zheng knew in his heart that Li Si was not alarmist.
Qin State now occupies a huge area, and its rule in Shandong is not stable. The salt war started by Qi State cannot be solved by a simple ban.
As for Bashu's problem, natural disasters, which sound like nonsense, are very likely to be true. When dual crises occur together, the disaster will be endless.
He stood and thought for a while, and then he sat down again and said, "Zhang Han."
With a neither gentle nor serious cry, Zhang Han, the commander of the Shadow Guards, appeared in the middle of the hall before the king's words fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty."
"It's up to you to take the Shadow Guards to find out what happened in Bashu."
"yes."
"Li Si, Qi State started a commercial war with salt, and I am already one step behind. You are fully responsible for this matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Si took the order, his eyebrows squeezed together and his expression solemn.
Regarding such a big thing happening in the salt market, Luo Wang is paying close attention to it. All signs indicate that the former commercial overlord organization, the Iron Blood Alliance, which has disappeared for several years, has reappeared in the world.
The Iron-Blooded Alliance reappeared and caused so much trouble to the Qin State as soon as they made a move. He had checked all the records of the Iron-Blooded Alliance when Lu Yan was in charge of the net, and knew that this was a very difficult enemy.
Moreover, there is also a member of the Iron Blood Alliance lurking in the dark in the Qin Kingdom. The crisis encountered this time is probably inseparable from him.
Li Sizheng was distracted and retreated. At this moment, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, Master Yueshen wants to see you."
Huh? Luna?
Ying Zheng's mind flashed with lightning, and he immediately guessed that the Yin Yang family might have come because of the word "natural disaster", so he waved his hand and said: "Quick transmission."
"yes."
"The moon god pays homage to the king."
The long skirt touched the ground, and the hem of the skirt dragged out a curtain of blue water as she walked slowly. The Moon God placed her hands on her belly, walked steadily and dignifiedly to the center of the hall, and gave a graceful salute.
"The Master has always devoted himself to cultivation, and today he took the initiative to enter the palace. I wonder, what is the important matter for meeting this person?"
"The Moon God came especially for the disaster in Bashu."
When he raised his head, his snowy neck was slightly exposed, his eyes were hidden in the blue gauze, and they were shining slightly. The Moon God only used two seals with his hands, and the vast starry sky suddenly appeared in front of the hall.
But I saw a bright meteor passing by, the firelight was extremely real, and the splashing sparks seemed to be dancing in front of everyone's eyes from zero distance.
"Hoo~"
This meteor smashed onto the floor tiles of the hall, silently exploding countless broken stars. After a strong wind came out of thin air, the countless broken stars outlined a picture.
…
Between the high mountains and cliffs, a plank road reaches the sky. A group of dozens of people are running wildly on the plank road.
Go! Quick, quick, don’t look back!
Be careful! Ah~~
don't want!
Judging by their clothes, these people were all Qin soldiers, wearing light armor and carrying short swords and crossbows.
They tried their best to cling to the mountain wall and kept running forward, with fear written all over their faces.
And the source of their fear was the flock of birds that covered the sky and the sun.
The birds swooped down, and some couldn't stand the harassment and fell into the abyss; some were scratched in vital parts by sharp beaks and sharp claws...
The leader seemed to be quite skilled in martial arts. He shot many flying birds with his crossbow and his sword energy spread out in all directions, attracting the attention of the birds for his subordinates. In the end, he shot out all the crossbow arrows, ran out of energy, and was pecked to death by countless birds.
…
"This is the current catastrophe in Shu. Countless beasts in nature seem to have undergone some terrible changes and have become proactive in attacking humans."
The Moon God stretched out his hand, pointed out, and spoke of a terrifying crisis, but nothing happened, "Birds attack in groups, fearless of death. Wild beasts hunt together, advancing and retreating in a controlled manner. If we don't give first aid, I'm afraid that all of Shu will return."
original."
Ying Zheng still stared at the scene slowly dissipating under the control of the Moon God, frowning, "Is this the so-called natural disaster..."
Li Si blinked his eyes hard. The Moon God must not have the guts to lie to people here. The natural disasters in Shu are so terrifying.
Zhang Han, whose sword-shaped eyebrows were twisted into an unknown shape, stared at the dissipating scene with a very heavy gaze.
The next task of the Shadow Guard is to solve the mutation in Shu. The difficulty level of this task is beyond the sky.
He took the initiative to salute the Moon God and asked: "Master Mage, you may know the root cause of such large-scale changes in birds and beasts."
Ying Zheng is also most concerned about this point, "Master, you said you came here for the disaster in Shu, but you can solve the crisis."
"The land of Bashu has always been home to strange ghosts and gods, and the local tribes in various places have unique witchcraft. And the most psychic people in the entire Bashu are the Shushan witch tribe.
It is said that the inheritance of their clan lasts for thousands of years, even before the formation of the Zhou Dynasty. If we want to find out the root cause of this disaster that has a huge impact on the entire Shu, the Shushan Witch Clan is likely to be the key."
The Moon God glanced at Zhang Han and asked Ying Zheng for orders: "In the land of Shu, there are many strange people and magic arts, which are very different from those in the Central Plains. Yin and Yang magic and witchcraft are closely related. The Moon God is willing to take the disciples of the Yin and Yang family to Shu.
I will investigate and share my worries for the king."
"Well, with the help of the mage, I feel a lot more at peace."
Ying Zheng nodded and glanced at Zhang Han again, "Zhang Han, you lead the Shadow Guards to go with Master Yueshen. When making decisions, remember to consult the Master's wishes."
Zhang Han knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and accepted the order, "Yes, Your Majesty."
