While I was calculating the value of Yang Luo in my mind, I was also exploring things about him regarding the dragon soul and his golden spear weapon.
Both of those are good things!
However, when Yang Luo was unconscious, the golden spear got back into his body. Without killing him, there is no way to take out his magical weapon. And I have absolutely no intention of killing Yang Luo now. He The value is too great for me.
On the way back to the northwest, we encountered no more danger. Kailong and Wang Haiyang's injuries have recovered well. By the time we get to the northwest, these two people will be full of energy.
When we passed through the northwest prefectures and counties, we took relatively hidden roads, so we did not have any interactions with the authorities in each prefecture or county.
After almost a month, we finally returned to Wuwangsin City.
When I arrived here, the people in the city naturally welcomed me warmly, and I had completely become the pride of Wuwangsin City.
After returning to the city, I simply listened to Lu Zheng, Shen Jiu and Suan Xianqing's introduction to the recent situation here. Since there was nothing important, I asked the three of them to leave after the briefing.
When Lu Zheng was retreating, he suddenly stopped and said to me: "By the way, Prince Chen, when you were going to the imperial city, two people who claimed to be your friends came to see you. You were not here at the time. I stayed with them for a few days, and then they left our side and went east. From what I heard, they seemed to go to Xishan County, but I don’t know exactly where in Xishan County they went. ."
I asked them what their names were.
Lu Zheng said: "One is called Qiu Zhan and the other is Zheng Runxiu!"
It turned out to be them. They should come to me in a few days. They should have been arranged by Qiu Yan to come to me. But what are they doing in Xishan County?
After saying these things, I said to Lu Zheng: "By the way, help me arrange a courier. As the Minister of Defense of the Northwest, I want to issue the first order to the fourteen states and counties in the northwest."
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Prince, what's wrong? You have just returned to the northwest, and you don't know much about the situation in the northwest."
I said: "I already know something about it, help me arrange someone immediately!"
Lu Zheng nodded, and then took out the document issuing the order, and the order I wanted to issue was only one sentence: "Within three months, quickly send 10 million talismans to Wuwangsui City!"
After writing this order, I stamped it with my seal of Secretary of Defense for the Northwest without hesitation.
Seeing this order, Lu Zheng frowned and said, "Prince Chen, your first order is to ask for money? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
I said: "What's inappropriate about this? Ten million talisman is a small thing to every state and county. If they are reluctant to give me this little money, wouldn't they be looking down on me as a prince?"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. What I meant is that you are a prince and the Minister of Defense of the Northwest. Your first order when you come back is to publicly ask for bribes. If this is spread, it will be bad for your reputation!"
I said: "I don't care about reputation or not. What I want to do most now is to do everything possible to develop our military strength. By the way, you go and buy high-quality horses and cavalry right away. A thousand cavalry." The guard cavalry regiment is not enough, I want to form several cavalry regiments with ghost talismans!"
Lu Zheng was a little confused and said: "Prince Chen, there is no need to be in such a hurry. There are more than ten Human Emperor's legions next to our Wuwangsui City. They can defend us enough!"
I said to Lu Zheng: "Enough? You are too optimistic. The northwest is a mess, and one move can affect the whole body. Prince Yun has evil intentions. If he joins forces with the Utopia, what do you think about our Rixin City and Wuwangsin City? How long can these thirty human legions last?"
"The most terrible thing is that the supply lines of these legions all pass through the state capital under Prince Yun. If Prince Yun really rebels and all thirty legions are cut off from supplies, do you think our two cities, Wuwang Sin City and Rixin City, can Can you afford these legions?"
"So, if you don't ask for money now and store grain, are you going to ask for it again when they rebel?"
"So just go and do what I say. Take my order and give it to the fourteen northwest prefectures and counties immediately, and tell them that one day later, I will treat them as treason!"
"When Fu Yu is obtained, you can issue this order again."
Then I wrote another order asking for food, but it was not much, but if the fourteen prefectures and counties were put together, it would be too much to send to me.
They certainly won't disobey my orders.
After preparing these two orders, I asked Lu Zheng to follow my arrangements.
If the King of Witch Spirits says it, I will continue to leave it to Zhou Yin to take care of him; if Yang Luo says it, I will let Bei Liu take care of it.
Both Wu Ling King and Yang Luo are important chess pieces in my hands, so I naturally have to leave them to my two most powerful people to take care of them.
These things have been arranged, and we are going to wait for a few days in Wuwangsui City. At the same time, I also ordered the South Cave Hall to investigate Prince Yun's movements. I want to know when he will come to me to exchange for Yang Luo.
However, there was no news about Prince Yun for several days, and I felt a little bit uneasy. Could it be that my estimate was wrong, and Yang Luo was not very important to Prince Yun?
Two more days passed, and there was no news from Prince Yun. Instead, Li Qingmu came to Wuwangsui City on a golden dragon. His purpose of coming here was very simple, to announce another reward from the Human Emperor to me, and this time he rewarded me. , is to directly turn Jiuheng Prefecture and Yunshan Prefecture into my princely fiefdom and give it the name Chen. In other words, from the perspective of the weaving of the human race, Jiuheng Prefecture and Yunshan Prefecture will disappear and be replaced by My fiefdom, Prince Chen.
This seems to be a reward, but in fact it is like an order, asking me to take back control of Jiuheng Prefecture and Yunshan Prefecture from Prince Yun.
After hearing this order, I smiled at Li Qingmu and said, "His Majesty the Human Emperor is really kind to me. Can I refuse such a heavy reward?"
Li Qingmu also smiled and said: "Actually, in my opinion, His Majesty the Human Emperor acted a little too hastily. This is not like the previous His Majesty at all, although His Majesty has already taken back control of the fourteen prefectures and counties in the northwest. Quan, but he was not in a hurry. He first established the Nandong Hall, and then strictly controlled military expenditures in the northwest, which has effectively curbed the development of Prince Yun."
"According to your Majesty's plan, within a hundred years, you will take back control of the fourteen states and counties in the northwest without losing a single soldier, and then use another hundred years to encroach on the Utopia!"
"But since the last time the Three Saints came to the Imperial City, he has sped up all his plans dozens of times. He seems to be impatient and wants to complete within a few years what he previously planned to spend a hundred years to complete."
"His Majesty the Human Emperor may have encountered some difficulties. You have to understand him. His Majesty the Human Emperor cares about the world and all sentient beings. It is definitely not as simple as using you to deal with Prince Yun. He has bigger things in mind!"
When I heard what Li Qingmu said, I was stunned.
The Human Emperor has accelerated his plan dozens of times, and the reason for his acceleration is related to my three masters.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think about Master Li always asking me to search for a certain secret in the Book of Creation?
Could all this be related to the Emperor’s plan to speed up his plans?
At first I felt that I had been doing insignificant things, but after hearing what Li Qingmu said, I suddenly felt that everything I did was getting closer to Master Li step by step, and I was getting infinitely closer to them!
One day I will know all its secrets.
Seeing that I was silent, Li Qingmu asked me: "Prince Chen, what is your decree?"
I took a deep breath and said, "I took it!"
Li Qingmu also smiled and said: "Looking at the entire human race, only a newborn calf like Prince Chen dares to cooperate with His Majesty in doing these things. It is not unreasonable for the Human Emperor to promote you infinitely. By the way, about you in Yunhui City Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message about the things I did."
I asked what the words were.
Li Qingmu said: "Great job!"
Hearing what Li Qingmu said, I couldn't help but smile. Originally, I had already started to have a prejudice against the Human Emperor because of Yun's return to the city. But today, after seeing Li Qingmu and listening to his words, My prejudice against the Human Emperor was reduced a lot.
Li Qingmu didn't stay here much longer. He left the reward documents and left on the golden dragon!
Regarding the content of this document, I also communicated with the Human Emperor through Jade Pendant, and I discovered that this order was only a document and had not been officially announced in the court. He planned to announce it after I received the order.
I told the Human Emperor through Jade Pendant, asking him to give me a few months, and he would announce it only when I asked him to announce it.
I am also planning to ask for money and food from two places. If this order is issued, I may not be able to get a piece of talisman or a grain of food.
And I will take advantage of this month to quickly expand my troops so that if the order comes and Prince Yun's forces turn against him, I can easily deal with it.
It is not practical at all to rely on Qianfeng Cangyuan to fight against the fiefdoms of the three princes. It would be good if they could protect themselves first.
So after discussion, we are planning to schedule the announcement of the reward in March next year. At that time, I will not long come back from studying the Book of Creation in the lower world. Maybe my strength will be improved again.
The Human Emperor also agreed to my proposal.
After all these things were arranged, Nangong Fan said: "It seems that you can't get out!"
I said: "Not only will I not withdraw, I also want to go further. If I keep going like this, sooner or later I will come to the side of my three masters. I want to know what kind of things people with their strength will do." ."
Nangong Fanxong also said: "What about Mai Xiaorou, do you still want to save her?"
I said: "That may be a way for me to get close to my master, so I naturally want to save him, and that is also the original purpose of going to the upper world!"
My intuition tells me that a bloody storm will sweep across the upper world in a few years... (To be continued)
