Chapter 48: When to Overcome the World, When to Overcome the Common People
The next day.
Qianlong Villa.
Zhuang Ming could probably guess the turmoil in the outside world after last night.
But no matter how bad the situation is, it can't be worse than when Zhuang's Trading Company was shut down overnight.
"We must let Lu He and the others prepare as soon as possible."
"Since King Chen is showing signs of attacking early, I'm afraid it won't be too long before he cleans up and attacks me."
"Be sure to strike first before King Chen launches an attack, so that he will not be able to take care of himself under the emperor's suspicion."
"This matter must be completed before we collect two hundred thousand taels."
Thinking of this, Zhuang Ming slowly exhaled.
He looked at the two ancient corpses of Qian Yang and Yin Ming.
These two ancient corpses were Taoist masters who refined the golden elixir in their early years. Later, they died and the golden elixir collapsed. However, when their magic power was dissipated, they also refined their physical bodies. Therefore, they were physically strong and their strength was not inferior to that of any martial arts master.
The power of a real person who has refined the golden elixir is beyond the scope of the mortal world.
As long as there is a precedent for such a figure in the world, it will be cited as a legend.
"The golden elixir disintegrates, and the body dies and the Tao disappears, but a corpse alone is so powerful."
Zhuang Ming sighed in a low voice: "If I had made no mistakes in my cultivation back then, I would have succeeded in condensing the Tao Seal within the Dantian. Today, even if I cannot refine the Golden elixir, I can surely reach the upper level of the Tao Seal."
The upper level of Daoyin is the third level, the peak level of this realm.
In terms of strength, he can rival a martial arts master.
"It's a pity...things in this world are full of surprises."
Zhuang Ming couldn't help laughing at himself and shook his head slightly.
He couldn't help but think of Song Tianyuan before.
This young man, who is proud of his status as a counselor, believes that in life, planning everything, motivating people's hearts and stirring up the situation with his thoughts is what a wise man does.
As for using force to solve the problem and acting with brute force, it is a wise man's incompetence, and it is really a shame.
But in fact, in Zhuang Ming's eyes, the birth of any conspiracy is only because his own power is not enough to suppress everything and not enough to achieve his goal simply and neatly, so he needs to use tactful and tortuous methods to achieve what he wants.
This does not mean that Song Tianyuan is definitely wrong.
This is really a matter of perspective.
There is no more powerful person in the world than a martial arts master.
Within the Dongsheng Dynasty, martial arts masters had a very high status, and even the powerful officials in the court were treated with courtesy.
But martial arts masters are still flesh and blood. They cannot withstand the blades of swords or strong bows and crossbows. After all, they are mortals. No matter how strong their martial arts skills are, they can only rely on their martial arts attainments and profound skills to become enemies of a hundred people. .
Therefore, the master-level experts still live under the laws of the Dongsheng Dynasty and cannot act recklessly or trample on everything.
Song Tianyuan was a mortal, so the power in his eyes was limited to the level of a martial arts master.
Therefore, in Song Tianyuan's eyes, manpower is exhausted, and only the wise man's plan can mobilize an army of millions, change the world's government, subvert the world's ownership, and determine the supreme ability of the people's future!
But the power in Zhuang Ming's eyes was different.
The power in Song Tianyuan's eyes lies in the world.
The power in Zhuang Ming's eyes lies outside the world.
His mentor, Bai Shengjun, could move mountains and fill seas with a single thought, and even a million-strong army could be destroyed in an instant.
In the eyes of such a powerful figure, all the intrigues, intrigues, and intrigues in the mortal world are just ants in an ant nest biting each other.
Zhuang Ming asked himself, if he had the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas, and shock everyone in an instant, why would he bother to think and plan here?
In the current situation, King Chen's official power was as irresistible to him, a merchant and commoner, as the mighty power of heaven and earth of a man with great supernatural powers.
Mana is power.
Power is also force.
But in the mortal world, his abundant financial resources are actually strength.
"It's just because I don't have enough strength."
Zhuang Ming sighed, looked down at the young dragon, and murmured: "We are still far away from turning into a dragon..."
He knew in his heart that since his own strength was insufficient, he had to use strategies to make up for his shortcomings and find the other party's flaws.
However, compared to the powerful ministers of the imperial court, he was as different as a merchant.
No matter how you use your tactics, it seems that the other party can break the law with just one command.
This time, King Chen just couldn't hold himself back and took revenge.
The next time, it will be a disaster.
Zhuang Ming had already known in his heart that he could make peace with King Chen this time, but the other party did not want to cause trouble and had to compromise temporarily.
Although on the surface they are like brothers, the relationship between Prince Chen and Zhuang Ming also seems to be that they hate each other so late, and it is hard to find a close friend.
But Zhuang Ming had already known it in his heart, and when the other party had calmed down and stabilized, he would settle the old and new grudges together.
By that time, the power of the royal power will surely be crushed with the force of thunder.
No matter how prepared Zhuang's Trading Company was, it could not withstand such a destructive force.
Therefore, we can only bring down King Chen before he takes action!
——
Three days passed.
Zhuang's Commercial Bank has been preparing for banknotes.
The expansion of business in other places has now temporarily stopped, but the warehouses and shops that have been built with money earlier can only continue.
His roots are still in the Sixteenth Mansion of Huai'an.
But during these days, his income in the Sixteenth House of Huai'an has dropped by more than 70% compared to this month in previous years.
"What a great King Chen, he is so deadly..."
Zhuang Ming looked at the account book in his hand and couldn't help but chuckle. He threw it in front of him and his eyes fell on the young dragon again.
After these days, the young dragon continues to grow.
Absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and refining the energy is much faster than before.
But the biggest source of growth is the various things he collected in the mortal world.
There are ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other herbs and medicinal materials, as well as all kinds of exotic gold, jade and strange stones, as well as strange Qi and blood items obtained from exotic birds and animals, and so on. Anything that contains spiritual energy will be collected in the treasury.
And whoever is chosen by him must contain a lot of spiritual energy.
And so on, after being devoured and refined by the young dragon, it grows extremely fast.
Now he is in the middle level of Daoyin, and has been promoted to the top, almost entering the upper level.
The middle level of Daoyin is approximately equal to the level of Lu He.
The upper level of Daoyin is the realm of martial arts master.
However, given the extraordinary qualities of the young dragon, and the way he is used to transport people, even though they have not yet reached the upper level of the Dao Seal, those who have truly cultivated the Dao Seal to the upper level may not necessarily be able to defeat this young dragon.
As for the martial arts master level figures, Zhuang Ming has controlled Qian Yang and Yin Ming for many years and knows how powerful the warriors at this level are... But the young dragon has grown up to this day, and he is also quite confident that he can control the young dragon.
, killed a master-level expert at the third level of martial arts.
"If the dragon can become a dragon, it will be comparable to a Taoist master who has cultivated the golden elixir, and his power will be endless."
"The power of this level of cultivation, when placed in the human world, is almost as powerful as an immortal."
"Even though it has not yet reached the point of moving mountains and reclaiming seas, it is already a power beyond the ordinary world."
"If I have this kind of power that can transcend the mortal world, then I, within the Dongsheng Dynasty, will have nothing to worry about."
"It's a pity that in the body of a young dragon, even if I can break through today, I can barely reach the upper level of the Tao Seal. In terms of strength alone, it is only comparable to a master-level expert at the third level of martial arts."
"After all...it's not the right time yet."
Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly and exhaled slowly.
Although he is not yet strong enough to defeat the Dongsheng Dynasty, he still lives under the laws of the Dongsheng Dynasty and is threatened by the big figures who control the power of the Dongsheng Dynasty.
However, he keeps growing.
Whether it was Zhuang's Trading Company he founded.
Still his baby dragon body.
All are growing.
A loud sound!
Then I saw a pale white python springing out of the fish pond, flicking its long tail.
Bang!
The rockery was shattered!
It's even better than the martial arts master's move of breaking open monuments and cracking stones!
