No wonder Chu Yi was so surprised. This sudden luck was really unexpected. You must know that Chu Yi destroyed so many countries, even those as powerful as the Byzantine Empire only got tens of millions.
Just luck.
The destruction of the Holy See this time was just a casual move, but he actually gained hundreds of millions of fortunes in one fell swoop. Compared to the countries he destroyed, this much fortune was really much more.
If you just calm down and think about it, considering the huge power and influence of the Holy See in the Western Continent, it only has the luck of hundreds of millions, which is actually a bit less.
At this time, Chu Yi calmed down. According to Chu Yi's estimation, the luck gained from destroying the Holy See should be doubled on this basis.
Thinking about the terrifying influence of the Holy See in later generations, not to mention the luck of hundreds of millions, it is normal to have more.
Of course, the Luck Altar will not lie. The destruction of the Holy See this time has indeed resulted in hundreds of millions of luck. It is impossible to get more.
Shaking his head slightly, Chu Yi couldn't help but chuckle. It was an unexpected blessing to get hundreds of millions of fortunes out of thin air. At least before going on the expedition, he had never considered that destroying the Holy See would gain so much luck.
It is quite good that the Holy See can contribute so much luck to him now. After all, although the Holy See has developed into a huge force, it has not yet expanded to such a terrifying level in later generations.
Lu Junyi, who was accompanying Chu Yi, noticed the change in Chu Yi's expression and couldn't help but whispered to Chu Yi: "General Manager, why are you laughing?"
Chu Yi raised his head and glanced at Lu Junyi, and noticed that all his subordinates were looking at him indifferently, so he naturally understood that his actions just now were noticed by everyone.
Waving his hand, Chu Yi said: "I just remembered one thing, but have the arrangements for the people left behind in Constantinople been made?"
Lu Junyi said: "Everything has been arranged according to the instructions of the chief manager."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "In this case, the army will set off immediately and return to the Central Plains."
Although if the army continues to march westward, it will more or less destroy some large and small countries along the way, but Chu Yi does not plan to continue the march westward, but is preparing to return.
After all, even if the fight continues, the territory that can be occupied in the end is limited. Even Chu Yi has no doubt that as he leads a group of powerful men to ascend and leave, a considerable part of the vast territory currently occupied by the Song Dynasty will be lost.
Out of the control of the Song Dynasty.
Even Chu Yi has no way to solve this problem. After all, such a vast territory is too big, and even such a vast country will not exist in later generations. Not to mention other things, just a transportation problem will limit it to a certain extent.
the territory of an empire.
Even though Chu Yi used the powerful men of heaven to open up the Tongtian Avenue, even with the existence of the Tongtian Avenue, it could not change the problem of backward transportation.
However, Chu Yi did not place any hope that the Song Dynasty could rule such a vast territory forever. But with such a vast territory he left behind, even if the Song Dynasty declines one day or even changes dynasties, the eyes of future generations will definitely be opened.
, with the Han people's idea of great unification, once a hero comes to the world, even the land that was lost in the past will return to the territory again.
Lu Junyi responded solemnly, looked at the already prepared army, and shouted with a loud roar: "The army is setting off!"
The mighty army came out of Constantinople and headed east along the wide road.
In just half a day, two figures descended from the sky into the army. It was Zhenren Luo and Patriarch Chen Tuan who had destroyed the Holy See.
The two told Chu Yi what they had seen and experienced in the Holy See. Chu Yi said with a smile: "This time I have to thank two real people."
On the other hand, Patriarch Chen Tuan stroked his beard, looked at Chu Yi and said, "When we return to the Central Plains this time, is the General Manager really going to lead everyone to ascend and leave together?" When Patriarch Chen Tuan spoke, Master Luo also stared at him.
With Chu Yi.
The two of them came here because of the news about Chu Yi's ascension, so they were very curious about Chu Yi's ascension. Fortunately, Patriarch Chen Tuan could endure it until today.
It seems to be because Patriarch Chen Tuan saw that Chu Yi was preparing to return to the capital. If he didn't ask now, he might have to wait until Chu Yi ascended.
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Is it possible that the real person is doubting Mr. Chu?"
Listening to what Chu Yi said, Patriarch Chen Tuan shook his head and said: "The old Taoist is not doubting the General Manager. In fact, in the old Taoist view, if there is anyone in the world who can succeed in ascending, then this person is not the General Manager.
No one else."
It can be heard that the words of Patriarch Chen Tuan are definitely coming from the bottom of his heart. After all, Patriarch Chen Tuan has personally seen Chu Yi kill several powerful men in the realm of Heavenly Masters.
Even if Patriarch Chen Tuan thinks that he is extremely powerful, he really can't do it if he is really asked to kill a strong person in the realm of Heavenly Master.
Perhaps Ancestor Chen Tuan can defeat a powerful Celestial Master, but he will definitely not be able to kill a powerful Celestial Master as easily as Chu Yi.
After all, there is only one word difference between defeat and kill, but the meaning is very different. Chu Yi can easily kill a powerful Celestial Master, so his strength must be much higher than that of a Celestial Master. Otherwise, a Celestial Master is too strong.
If someone really wants to quit, the existence of the same level alone really can't make the other person stay.
Just watching the Pope and the Inquisitor beheaded, you can see Chu Yi's true strength.
Apparently, Patriarch Chen Tuan thought that Chu Yi had deliberately hidden his true cultivation level, but he didn't know that Chu Yi's true cultivation level had never been hidden.
As for the thoughts of Patriarch Chen Tuan, Chu Yi naturally sees clearly, but it is reasonable for Patriarch Chen Tuan to have such a guess. Not to mention Patriarch Chen Tuan, even if it were him, he would probably
Just like ancestor Chen Tuan.
At this time, Master Luo also spoke from the side: "What Taoist Taoist Chen Tuan said is true. No one has been born in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. I never thought that there would be such a genius as the General Manager. If we say the General Manager
Ascension, we firmly believe in it, we are just taking everyone with us..."
It is really too bizarre that Chu Yi said before that he would take everyone to ascend together. The legendary person who achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs is just a beautiful fantasy. At least they are not in the real records.
Is there any powerful person who can take others with him when he ascends?
Now Chu Yi actually said that as long as he was willing to go with him, he could even take away his relatives. How could this not make Patriarch Chen Tuan and Master Luo feel a little unrealistic?
Chu Yi was sitting on the carriage. In the spacious carriage, Cao Xiyun was sitting on the side. Lu Junyi was sitting on Chu Yi's side. Opposite him were Zhenren Luo and Patriarch Chen Tuan.
Lu Junyi and Cao Xiyun looked at Chu Yi at this moment. Although they didn't say it, they also had doubts in their hearts.
Looking over several people, Chu Yi said with a smile: "If we use the normal method, it is indeed impossible for Chu to bring so many people to ascend together. It is not easy for Chu to even ensure that he can ascend smoothly alone."
Ancestor Chen Tuan showed a bit of surprise on their faces, and at the same time they were more curious, because Chu Yi said this, which proved that Chu Yi was not lying, but that he really had a way to take everyone to ascend together.
When he thought of this, Patriarch Chen Tuan couldn't help but his heart beat faster even with his determination, and he looked at Chu Yi with burning eyes.
A flash of light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes and he said: "This time when Chu returns to Beijing, he will start preparing for his ascension. At that time, he will still need help from real people."
Although Chu Yi did not directly say a way for everyone to ascend together, it did give everyone hope. Ancestor Chen Tuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If it is really possible to ascend, I can just let the general manager do what I want."
Compared to when we came here, we had to defeat the Seljuq Dynasty and the Black-clad Great Eclipse, which were large and small countries, so the speed was naturally not much faster, but now it was a smooth journey back to the Central Plains.
Of course, no matter how fast the hundreds of thousands of troops march, it is not a day's work to return to the Central Plains from thousands of miles away.
On the second day after leaving Constantinople, Chu Yi arranged for Lu Junyi to command the army to march at normal marching speed, but he took a group of strong men under his command to return to the capital first.
Ever since Chu Yi led his army to march westward, there has been no disturbance in the capital.
Everyone knows that Chu Yi's Western Expedition will probably be his last before his ascension. Once Chu Yi returns, his ascension will inevitably be put on the agenda. If that time comes, the most eye-catching event in the world will be the Great War.
In charge of Chu Yi's ascension.
Before Chu Yi ascended, anyone with any brains would not jump out and cause trouble at this stage. Many people even prayed that Chu Yi could return and ascend as soon as possible. In fact, they had such a big boss like Chu Yi above them.
, so that they don’t dare to make any small moves.
Imperial City of the Song Dynasty
The emperor Zhao Gou was currently reviewing memorials in the imperial study. Under Chu Yi's suppression over the years, although the life of the emperor Zhao Gou was not difficult, it was not that comfortable either.
As a king, he did not dare to have any thoughts of pleasure for fear of causing trouble to himself. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Gou developed the habit of being diligent in his work.
Putting aside everything else, Zhao Gou's ability to work diligently and manage politics alone, at least among the many emperors of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou can definitely be ranked among the top three.
At this time, Zhao Gou finished reviewing the pile of memorials in front of him, stretched his body, and his eyes fell on the great eunuch Tong Guan standing next to him.
Tong Guan was previously stationed in the Western Army, and he even vaguely had the idea of competing with Chu Yi, but before Tong Guan could make any other moves, Chu Yi suppressed him and did not dare to have any other thoughts.
The thoughts that were about to stir in his heart were suppressed by Chu Yi. Not long after, Tong Guan was recruited back from the northwest by Zhao Gou.
After all, all the military power in the world was in the hands of Chu Yi, so Tong Guan, the supervisor of the Western Army for the imperial court, had no meaning in his existence.
Tong Guan, who returned to the inner court, naturally became the person Zhao Gou relied on. After all, Tong Guan had become a strong man of heaven and man. Not to mention his ability to command troops, Zhao Gou's cultivation as a strong man of heaven and man alone made Zhao Gou
The structure has no choice but to rely on the position of help.
The most important thing is that Tong Guan is not from Chu Yi, so Zhao Gou is very comfortable to use.
Taking a step forward, Tong Guan gathered up the pile of memorials on the table and looked at Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty wants to take care of the dragon body."
Zhao Gou waved his hand and glanced at the memorials, glanced at Tong Guan and said: "Ai Qing, where do you think the general manager is at this moment, and when can he return to the army?"
Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, then said after thinking for a moment: "With the General Manager's ability to use troops and the number of strong men under the General Manager this time, I really can't think of any dynasty in the western barbarian land that can stop the Great General Manager.
As long as the General Manager is willing, it is not difficult for the General Manager's troops to sweep across the western lands. As for when the General Manager will return, it depends on the General Manager's own consideration."
While he was talking, he saw a figure striding over, standing at the door of the imperial study and solemnly saying: "The envoys are in front of the palace, Hu Yanzhuo wants to see your majesty."
Hu Yanzhuo, dressed in military uniform, stood at the door of the Imperial Study Room, looking like a fierce general.
When Zhao Gou heard Hu Yanzhuo's voice, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Huyan Aiqing, please come in quickly!"
Zhao Gou has always maintained sufficient respect for the powerful people at the level of gods and humans. Although the royal family's own background is not bad, Zhao Gou has no intention of neglecting the powerful people of heaven and humans.
Hu Yanzhuo walked into the imperial study, and bowed to Zhao Gou very faithfully and said: "I, Hu Yanzhuo, pay homage to your majesty."
Zhao Gou waved his hand slightly to signal Hu Yanzhuo to stand up and said, "Is it possible that Aiqing has something important to do here?"
Based on Hu Yanzhuo's position, it can be said that the safety of the palace lies in Hu Yanzhuo's hands. If there is nothing important, Hu Yanzhuo will generally not come to see him at this time.
When Hu Yanzhuo heard this, his expression became serious and he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I just received the news that the chief executive has returned to Beijing!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou stood up suddenly and looked at Hu Yanzhuo with a look of astonishment on his face. He was obviously shocked by the news that Hu Yanzhuo brought.
After all, Chu Yi's return was too sudden. As the emperor, he didn't even receive any news.
Tong Guan's expression on the side also changed slightly, and he leaned forward slightly to look at Hu Yanzhuo.
Hu Yanzhuo took a deep breath and said: "I have just received the news. About half an hour ago, the chief manager and a group of powerful men under him fell from the sky into the humble garden. They were not powerful men, but they were all.
Unnoticeable.”
Zhao Gou nodded slightly. Zhao Gou knew quite a bit about the abilities of the powerful Heavenly Man. If Chu Yi didn't intend to make it public, then it would not be unusual at all for him to quietly return to the capital.
Slowly exhaling, Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and then said to Tong Guan and Hu Yanzhuo: "Two dear friends, please tell me that I want to go to Zhuoyuan to meet the King of Song."
