The real dragon appears in the world and suppresses all directions.
Up and down the capital, no matter the dignitaries or the common people, no matter the elite soldiers and generals, or the traffickers and pawns, all were under the power of the dragon and surrendered instinctively.
And inside the palace.
Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back and asked calmly.
"Why did your Majesty rebel?"
"..."
This question shocked the three people present, but they couldn't think of a single refutation.
Ever since the dragon appeared in the world and swept away the Zhennan Army, the existence of Zhuang's Trading Company seemed to be higher than that of the royal family. Even the current emperor did not dare to act rashly.
In the name of the emperor, he is still the supreme one in the world.
But Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's Trading Company was more noble than the emperor.
Even the current emperor knows in his heart that whether the current Dongsheng Dynasty needs to change to another dynasty, Mr. Thirteen, who has the power of the dragon, can decide in one word.
If we say that imperial power is granted by heaven, Mr. Zhuang's Thirteenth Company is the highest heaven in the Dongsheng Dynasty.
"Rebellion?" Emperor Dongsheng laughed, full of self-deprecation, and said: "I am the emperor, the supreme being in the Dongsheng Dynasty, and you use the word rebellion..."
"From the beginning, I only wanted to do business within the Dongsheng Dynasty to obtain what I needed. I only wanted to seek benefits and had no intention of competing with you for power." Zhuang Ming said calmly.
"But if you, Zhuang Ming, exist for just one day, you are like a mountain, suppressing me firmly on top of my head. And your Zhuang Ming's Zhuang's Trading Company is an existence above the imperial power, with branches in various places and great arrogance.
You actually suppressed the government." The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "In the past year and a half, has your Zhuang's Trading Company ever shown any respect or fear for the imperial court?"
"You don't want someone to put pressure on your head?" Zhuang Ming said.
"Not bad." The emperor said solemnly.
"So you want to rebel?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"..." The emperor was silent for a moment and then said: "If it weren't for continuous natural disasters and insufficient national treasury, I would not dare to attack Zhuang's Trading Company rashly, but..."
"In the final analysis, you still don't want to be lower than me. As the mortal emperor, you want to be supreme. But in the Dongsheng Dynasty where the holy gathering place is located, as long as I am here, the position of the emperor will ultimately belong to me.
under."
Zhuang Ming glanced at him and said calmly: "Under my intimidation, Zhuang Ming, the position of the emperor in the world can be regarded as below one person, but above ten thousand people. You don't want to sit in this position, but there are countless people."
I want your position..."
The words fell and the breeze blew.
Then they saw the emperor of the Dongsheng Dynasty turned into ashes.
And his eyes turned to Liu Quan.
There was endless fear in Liu Quan's eyes.
Zhuang Ming sighed and said: "You are very ambitious, I saw it back then, but in the battle at Qianlong Villa, you made a great contribution after all. Although I know that human nature is ugly and ambition is gloomy, but you fought to the death at that time
The battle is stained with blood, and I am about to die from exhaustion. The posture is still the same as yesterday. I would rather put aside my doubts and think that I have made a mistake, but I still force myself to believe that you are loyal, but you have let me down in the end."
Liu Quan bowed down and prostrated, and said solemnly: "If you don't go to sea, even if you don't have the power of a dragon, Liu Quan will definitely not dare to rebel just because of your ability to recognize people and your clever tactics."
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "You are very ambitious and want to climb up. Even in Qianlong Villa, you must have seen that King Chen had the intention to destroy the Villa and the hope hidden behind my original actions, so
Risk your life, fight for opportunities, make great achievements, and let me promote you... Is this what you think of wealth and honor in danger?"
He sighed softly and said: "You are different from Yuan Tao and Zheng Yuanshan back then. They were indeed loyal to me at first, but the situation in Da Chu changed their mood. However, you were loyal to me from the beginning.
Just for wealth, not loyalty."
Liu Quan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Zhuang Ming asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will come back from overseas?"
Liu Quan whispered: "I have reached the master's level in martial arts. If I want to go further, I have reached the limit of my strength. Not long ago, I obtained the technique and saw the hope of further advancement. I am in awe of the young master and fear of the dragon.
It just disappeared.”
Zhuang Ming pondered slightly, after the death of the Zhenxuan great monks of each sect, the real-person level figures were killed by the Ninth Senior Brother, and his twenty-four external incarnations collected all the relics of the real people of each sect.
What Liu Quan was referring to was probably the first group of cultivators sent out after the various alliances of sects surrounded the blessed land of Jusheng Mountain.
At that time, I had just left Tianyu Blessed Land and was halfway there.
Presumably, the dozen or so real people and dozens of Taoist seals were killed by the formation guarding the Holy Mountain. Their relics were left in the world and were captured by Liu Quan.
Perhaps some of it was captured by the Dongsheng Dynasty.
"Now that the matter has come to this, what else do you have to say?"
"I have nothing to say, but..." Liu Quan paused and looked strange.
"But?" Zhuang Ming said calmly: "Are you still qualified to make conditions with me?"
"Liu Quan has always known what the young master does." Dan saw Liu Quan kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "But I remember that Liu Quan once fought hard to kill the enemy at Qianlong Villa to seize the opportunity. I hope the young master will spare my family."
"Since you know that I always like to eliminate the roots and avoid future troubles, why do you need to say more?"
"Liu Quan is willing to imitate the head of the Qian family in Xuancheng."
"so what?"
"Young Master is already a god-like figure. My child is just a mortal like an ant. He never knew what Liu Quan did. Please remember that Liu Quan also made meritorious service and spare his life." Liu Quan put his forehead on the ground.
, whispered.
"This reason is not enough." Zhuang Ming said calmly.
"I have one more thing to report to the Young Master," Liu Quan said.
"Say." Zhuang Ming said.
"Young Master..." Liu Quan raised his head but hesitated to speak.
"You want to negotiate the price with me?" Zhuang Ming said softly: "I am a businessman, but I don't like people to negotiate the price with me. When Song Tianyuan of Xuancheng died, he also negotiated the price with me. I agreed to him, and then he died.
Already."
"Don't dare." Liu Quan lowered his head. He was by the side when the young master killed Song Tianyuan in Xuancheng.
"Say." Zhuang Ming continued.
"The Dongsheng Dynasty also has a skill that can draw on the general trend of the world for its own use. However, this skill was sent to the palace by someone on purpose, and it was not acquired by the Dongsheng Dynasty after the death of the immortal gods." Liu Quan said.
.
"Sent to the palace on purpose?" Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows.
"The man sent the exercises to the palace and then drifted away without a trace." Liu Quan responded.
"Oh?" Zhuang Ming's eyes narrowed. It stands to reason that except for Patriarch Wuyuan, everyone else who has set foot in Jusheng Mountain Blessed Land, even the great monk Zhenxuan, has already fallen. Most of those people will not be spared either.
It's just a matter of sending the exercises to the palace. What's the purpose?
"Master..."
"Okay, I'll spare his life."
Zhuang Ming said calmly: "But I can give you a chance. If he knows that you died in my hands, he can take revenge on me at any time. But if he comes, I will kill him. And if you don't want him to know, you will die if you die."
I can agree to it, but from now on, no matter how outstanding he is, within Zhuang's Trading Company, he will only be a guard commander or a steward at most, and the trading company will not give him a chance to rise to the top.
"
Liu Quan bowed and said: "This kid originally had no ambitions. From now on he will just be a pawn and live a stable life."
After he finished speaking, Liu Quan drew his sword out of its sheath, crossed it across his neck, and blood spattered in front of the palace.
Zhuang Ming's expression was calm, but there was a flash of regret in his eyes.
And his eyes turned to the Imperial Master, who was trembling all over.
"Is it you who calculated the signs of the fall of the gods and the rise of the Dongsheng Dynasty?"
"Hui Zunshen is the right path." The Imperial Master bowed his head and said in a trembling voice.
"Somewhat capable."
Zhuang Ming said calmly: "What do you think of today's events?"
The Imperial Master quickly bowed down and prostrated, saying, "It all depends on the guidance of God."
Zhuang Ming took a step forward and said slowly: "As long as I am the emperor of the Dongsheng Dynasty, he can only be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and is no longer supreme. But there is one exception..."
He took a step forward and his body changed.
In just a blink of an eye, he transformed into the emperor of the Dongsheng Dynasty.
The Imperial Master's face was full of astonishment.
"As long as I personally become the emperor."
Zhuang Ming said calmly: "Then the emperor of the Dongsheng Dynasty is supreme."
