Chapter 413 Dongsheng Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters
During the Dongsheng Dynasty, there was a snowstorm in the winter of the previous year, a drought in the summer of last year, and a natural disaster in the spring of this year.
To the people of the world, it is just a natural disaster. However, it was the last time that great practitioners from various sects invaded the Jusheng Mountain and the aftermath of the fighting led to landslides, earthquakes, fires, floods and other changes.
The so-called natural disasters are actually natural disasters. However, for the common people, the continuous disasters will inevitably cause panic and shake up the society. If the local government of the Dongsheng Dynasty had not already established a solid foundation, I am afraid that powerful and ambitious people from various places will incite the mob to rebel.
, but even so, it is still inevitable that people everywhere will be panicked and the mood of the people will be uneasy.
Under the disaster, all kinds of things were in short supply, and the national treasury did not have much at the time of the previous emperor. When the new emperor came to the throne, although there were great changes and signs of prosperity, a natural disaster seemed to destroy these signs of great prosperity.
, pressed one end.
Nowadays, the treasury of the Dongsheng Dynasty has been overwhelmed by the continuous disaster relief. Nowadays, natural disasters occur frequently. This may be because the Dongsheng Dynasty has lost the sense of measure in the past and is eager to attack Zhuang's trading company.
In just a few days, Zhuang's Trading Company had noticed something strange from the actions of local governments.
Bai Lao, Xue Qing and other stewards all responded accordingly.
But even if Zhuang's Trading Company develops, Yu Guangjing this year is still just a trading company attached to the Dongsheng Dynasty. No matter how hard it is to deal with it, it can't resist it at all.
The Dongsheng Dynasty wanted to attack Zhuang's Trading Company. For a trading company, it would be a disaster, and it would be destroyed by heaven.
It's just that the Dongsheng Dynasty is still afraid of Mr. Thirteen who possesses the dragon.
"It's quite troublesome right now. The young master is far away overseas and may not be able to return as soon as possible. The Dongsheng Dynasty has been able to deal with it in the past, but now there are continuous natural disasters. I suspect that the current emperor wants to use the Zhuang's Trading Company, which has strong financial resources, to fill the gap.
The national treasury is used for disaster relief."
Bai Lao said in a low voice: "In the past, he would have definitely not dared to do so, but there is a traitor within the trading company and has leaked most of our details. Now if the emperor notices that the young master is not around, I am afraid he will take action immediately..."
After finishing speaking, he frowned and said: "I have been very puzzled these past two days. How dare Liu Quan rebel? Is the emperor really not afraid of the young master returning from overseas? Could it be that they have some information?"
Beside him, Xue Qing pondered for a moment and said: "If it doesn't work out, it's time to use the talisman left by the young master."
Bai Lao nodded and said: "The talisman is sealed. Only my key can open it. You take it out first. If necessary, don't worry too much."
Xue Qing nodded, took the key, and said: "In addition, there is..."
Before his voice fell, a cold light burst out in the darkness.
There was only a flash of sword light.
Immediately, blood burst out.
Xue Qing screamed and his wrist suddenly broke off.
It was one of the four guards on the side who grabbed the key and headed straight to the outside world.
"Stop him!"
Bai Lao was shocked and shouted quickly: "Stop him quickly!"
But when he saw the guard, he jumped up, stepped over the wall, and hurried away.
Two of the other three guards immediately gave chase.
Xue Qing's face was pale and trembling.
"Damn it!" Mr. Bai was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that after Liu Quan's rebellion, there would be another person hiding so deeply.
"If this key is lost, the consequences will be disastrous." Xue Qing gasped and said, "Don't lose it..."
"But..." The young guard who was the only one here had a complex look on his face. He did not think of his companions' rebellion. He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems from just now that Liu Qiang's ability is higher than what he has shown in the past. I'm afraid he is getting closer."
At the level of a martial arts master, he wants to escape, and only a martial arts master can stop him, and now Lord Yueyang and others are not here..."
"Damn it!"
Bai Lao's breathing was slightly rapid.
However, at this moment, there was a force coming from behind, which calmed his mood.
I saw Xue Qing, who was almost comatose, regaining consciousness, and his broken palm was reattached to his wrist. Under the flickering light, he was completely uninjured.
There was still a pool of blood on the ground, and Xue Qing's face was still pale, but he raised his hands with a look of shock on his face.
The three people present looked at each other in confusion.
At this moment, a white figure landed in the courtyard and came with the wind.
"How did it get to this point in such a short period of time?"
The white figure spoke slowly and in a calm voice.
Bai Lao and the other three people all looked at the visitor, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
The person who came was dressed in white, tall and elegant, with his hands behind his back. He had a straight face and handsome features. He said with a smile: "You are only a young man and you don't recognize me?"
"Master!"
The three people saluted one after another and were extremely happy.
Zhuang Ming came closer, looked at Bai Lao, Xue Qing, and the young warrior, and nodded slightly.
This young warrior was not one of the soldiers who fought to the death during the siege of Wangshan by the army, but he vaguely remembered that he was under Bai Qing's command.
"What's going on?" Zhuang Ming looked at the blood on the ground with a dull expression.
"The old slave is incompetent. There have been traitors in the trading company many times. This time..."
——
Bai Lao bowed and spoke, briefly recounting the past.
He paused for a moment, looked a little ugly, and said: "It's all my fault that the old slave doesn't know people well. If the young master was here, such a change would definitely not have happened."
Zhuang Ming frowned and said, "Liu Quan also rebelled?"
Bai Lao looked complicated and nodded.
Zhuang Ming was silent for a moment and then let out a breath.
When he swallowed the Dragon Eye Stone, King Chen sent a large army to encircle and suppress Zhongwangshan. In order to gain time, the entire Qianlong Villa resisted with all their might, resulting in many casualties, but the remaining people were all valued by him.
As for Liu Quan, who was not very accomplished in martial arts at that time, he was not afraid of fighting and fought tooth and nail to resist.
But such people still rebelled.
Just like Zheng Yuanshan and Yuan Tao who were sent overseas by him to establish themselves in the Dongyuan realm of the Chu Dynasty.
"Can't blame you."
Zhuang Ming sighed softly and said: "Even if I were here and he tried his best to protect me before, I would inevitably lower my guard against him... What's more, after I leave, you will be able to take care of all this big business.
, you are already old, and it is difficult for you to pay attention to the loyalty of people."
At this point, I heard him chuckle again and said calmly: "However, even if I have gone to sea, the dragon swept through thousands of armies and already frightened the world. No matter it was the emperor, Liu Quan, or the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so what?
Dare to act like this? Aren't they afraid of my return?"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw him reaching out and making a move.
Boom!
The courtyard wall suddenly shattered.
A figure smashed into the wall and lay among the rubble, with a mouth full of blood.
It was the guard who had escaped earlier. In his hand, he still held the key to sealing the talisman.
"I have no impression of this person in front of me. He must be a newcomer?"
Zhuang Ming said: "You two are discussing matters here, and as one of the four guards, he is probably also highly regarded by you two. What is his origin?"
