After the earthquake, everything in Wangan City was quiet.
Ji Qianqian stood on the gate tower of Beiluomen in the north of Wang'an. She looked coldly around the inside and outside of Wang'an City, her hand pressing the knife tightly and her aura was fierce.
The Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards of the Dalü Dynasty implemented a city-wide curfew, strictly ordering residents in the city not to leave their residences or to make loud noises.
When the earthquake occurred, many rogues and martial arts practitioners tried to cause trouble and started riots, but they were all suppressed by the Jin Yiwei.
At this time, a series of heads were hung on several main streets in Wang'an City.
Zhao Xian's decisiveness and ruthlessness in calculating money.
After the earthquake, anyone who dares to use force in the streets and resist martial law will be shot to death regardless of the reason!
In fact, after the earthquake, the military morale of Wang'an City's Imperial Guards and some of the Imperial Guards also fluctuated.
Fortunately, Chu Xisheng, the emperor of the Dalu Dynasty, had a high prestige in the military and among the people.
Although this continuous change in the sky made the soldiers of the Forbidden Army uneasy, it could not shake their respect for the emperor, and the whole army still followed orders and prohibitions.
The people of Wang'an City were also very obedient.
They fell into a dream state under the rule of Emperor Jianyuan for two years. No less than 30 million people died. They were hungry without knowing it, and their bones were exposed in the wild. During this period, many tragedies that were contrary to human ethics occurred.
It wasn't until Chu Xisheng went north that their nightmares were driven away.
In addition, the Dalu Dynasty divided the fields and the land equally, lightened the corvee and paid little tax, and clarified the administration of officials.
In the past two years, their life was indeed much better than under Daning's rule, and even better than the years when Emperor Jianyuan ascended the throne.
Therefore, the two prefectures of Heluo and Heluo now have the highest support for the Dalü Dynasty in the world, and they least want the Dalü Dynasty to cause trouble again.
They are very cooperative with the court's laws and regulations.
But she still didn't dare to be careless when it came to money. She was condescending, her eyes scanning the inside and outside of the city like an eagle.
Within the scope of Ji Qianqian's sight, any tiny abnormality could not escape her eyes.
You can see raging fires erupting from time to time in the city.
It is winter now, and the sun and moon in the mortal world have been without light for nearly a month.
Although the areas near Shenzhou were not affected because Chu Xisheng used his body to replace the sun, the various places outside Shenzhou had accumulated a lot of cold air because the sun had not shone for a long time.
China is also affected, making this year's winter particularly harsh.
In such weather, it is impossible not to let the people light fires to keep warm.
However, the power of disaster gods such as Yinghuo, Fudou, and many fire gods are wreaking havoc in the mortal world.
Any sparks that pop out at this time may cause a fire.
Ji Qian Qian stood motionless. She was responsible for man-made disasters, and naturally someone would be responsible for natural disasters.
With her eyesight, she could see a giant bird with a wingspan of 710 feet, six legs and four wings, with a wingspan of 710 feet and a shape like a cloth bag. hover.
That was Chu Yunyun’s new spiritual pet—Di Jiang! A sacred bird of the emperor's rank.
It hovers in the sky. Whenever a fire breaks out on the ground, the Emperor Bird will suck in the flames and directly absorb the flames into its own body.
It is responsible for not only Wang'an City, but also the surrounding areas tens of thousands of miles away, preventing large-scale fires in the cities, villages and towns below, and protecting the essence of the entire Darü Dynasty.
Just when Ji Qianqian was on alert, a slightly hoarse female voice came into her ears.
"I heard that the Flame Sword Celestial Torch, ranked twenty-three on the Heavenly Ranking, died in your hands?"
That's Chu Ming.
Her figure came from the sky and came to Ji Qianqian's side.
The man then clicked his tongue and said, "It's really true! This guy is so brave, and he deserves it!"
This is because Chu Ming has already seen the head of the 'Flame Sword' Men Tianju.
He was so courageous that he dared to create chaos in Wang'an City, and Chu Xisheng caused chaos in front of his eyes; he deserved it because he betrayed his ancestors and colluded with the Eternal God Clan.
Chu Ming thought that in this era, there are still people who are stupid enough to fall in love with the Eternal God Clan and risk their lives to cause trouble in Wang'an City.
What benefit can those giant spirits give him?
She then clicked her tongue in admiration: "It is said that this person was in your hands, and after only two rounds, he was beheaded with a knife. His Majesty and Queen were nothing like this in the past. By the way, Qianqian, when will you be promoted to the first rank?"
Killing twenty-three on the Heavenly Ranking with two moves, this is already the level of the top three on the Heavenly Ranking.
Nowadays, when it comes to calculating money, one's physical strength is only at the second level.
What is commendable is that the level of Tianbang in this era is generally better than before.
"What you said is too exaggerated. The Flame Sword Celestial Torch is only worthy of its name and is far weaker than you think."
Ji Qianqian shook his head, not feeling that there was anything to boast about.
What's more, how can she compare to Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun in the second-grade period?
When your Majesty reaches the second level, you can already kill gods; when you reach the third level, you can show off your power under the God of Creation Tree.
And her current fighting strength is also the result of Chu Xisheng's help.
It was Chu Xisheng who used the power of wishful thinking to help her strengthen her body several times; it was also Chu Xisheng who brought back the 'Holy Monument', which allowed her to increase her bloodline strength to the limit in the past few years.
It was Chu Xisheng who asked Ziyu to grant divine favor and help her greatly improve her 'unparalleled' bloodline derived from the military god Ziyu.
As for the promotion to the first rank, Ji Qian Qian was not willing to talk to Chu Ming.
But when he thought about it, Ji Qianqian couldn't help but put his hand into his sleeve and stroked the magic bow "shooting the sun" inside his sleeve.
——That was the magic weapon of the former "bow god" Tianyi.
Your Majesty borrowed this weapon from unknown sources and gave it to her for use temporarily.
His Majesty also designed a set of powerful secret rituals for her, which will allow her to advance to the first level, super level, and even become a god in the future without any obstacles.
It's just that the time hasn't come yet.
Ji Qianqian immediately discovered that Chu Rulai, who was following Chu Ming, was looking at her hand that was inserted into her sleeve.
Ji Qianqian's heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm: "Your voice has become nicer."
In the past, Chu Ming's voice was like a broken gong.
My face also looks much better, unlike before where there was always a layer of blackness on my face.
In addition, there are also changes in personality.
When he first became a evil corpse, Chu Ming not only looked resentful, but also looked lifeless and eccentric.
"Yeah?"
Chu Ming touched her throat complacently: "Two months ago, His Majesty said that I was very diligent in my work, so he took action to complete my inner world a little."
The key is that her physical body has also undergone some changes, and her flesh and blood has regained a little vitality and gained a little warmth.
Although the current state is still neither dead nor alive, at least it is not like before, where the whole person is a cold rotting corpse.
"I see."
Ji Qianqian nodded slightly.
She did feel that Chu Ming's energy became more restrained.
The more perfect the inner heaven and earth are, the more the Qi will converge.
Therefore, for Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun, ordinary people can no longer sense their external intelligence.
Next, she warned with a look in her eyes: "Since His Majesty values you so much, you should know what is good and what is bad, and do your best to serve him! I also received news that you had a killing spree last night, not only in the Xiangshu prefectures You killed tens of thousands of martial arts cultivators in one night, and several super-class ones died at your hands?"
Ji Qianqian initially had a bad feeling for Chu Ming.
But after all, they had worked together for so many years, and no matter how strong the resentment felt about Ji Qianqian, it had been almost smoothed away.
Now she felt that this woman was quite pitiful.
In her early years, she was just a girl who was spoiled by her parents. She suffered a bloody blow in the Wuxiang Shen Sect and began to understand the world. However, she was tricked by her uncle, betrayed by her father and family, and ended up in this situation now.
But sympathy is sympathy, but counting money is still
As always, he was worried about Chu Ming and was full of vigilance.
Chu Ming was not unhappy after hearing this.
She experienced the world and heard that behind Ji Qianqian's warnings and exhortations, there was also some concern for herself.
This is extremely rare for her.
The woman who counts money is actually the most kind-hearted.
"As expected of the leader of Jinyiwei, he is quite well-informed."
Chu Ming smiled and stroked the hair in front of her forehead: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion. Everyone I kill has a way to die. Those super-quality people have ulterior motives and are not very honest. In the local area The rich clans of the country want to use the power of these superb martial arts to protect themselves. I am ordered by Your Majesty to clean up the southwest, how can I allow them to live freely? There are some things that are not convenient for Your Majesty to do, so I can only use this sword. Come and do it. Isn’t that why Your Majesty uses me?”
Chu Ming pointed forward again: "Isn't that what you do with money? When greed and jealousy blind people, only strict laws and regulations, thunderous means, and severe punishments can be used to shock them, so that they know how to advance and retreat, and how to weigh. , Only in this way can the Holy Emperor’s kindness be shown.”
Counting money is silent.
Although the southwestern states were placed under the jurisdiction of Dalu earlier than the two states of Heluo, they have never been submissive. The powerful local nobles had always criticized the imperial court's policy of dividing farmland and equalizing land.
Recently, they have also been linked to some super-grade martial arts cultivators who were unblocked by Chu Xisheng.
Not all of these nine thousand demigods are grateful to Chu Xisheng, and not all of them are willing to work together for the revitalization of the human race in China.
Many of them are unruly and ambitious men who choose to proclaim themselves as a last resort in order to gain future vitality.
Originally, under the suppression of Chu Xisheng's power and prestige, neither the powerful nobles in the southwest nor those demigod martial cultivators dared to make any mistakes.
However, when the divine power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire under Jidu began to wreak havoc on the world, these people began to become restless.
"You're right."
Ji Qianqian shook his head with a solemn look on his face: "The problem is that you killed many people without any evidence and were executed without guilt. If you do this, not only will there be gossip in the court, but it will also make it difficult for His Majesty."
Chu Ming laughed dumbly.
She thought that after today, there would be more than just gossip in the court.
In the future, the ministers of Yi, Shu, Xiang and other places will not be able to push her bullets three feet high.
"At this time of year, how can I have the time to look for any evidence? As long as my behavior is suspicious and my Yazhan knife senses hostility, it is enough. Should I wait until they actually rebel to make the situation worse?
You see, the southwest states are very stable now. I can ensure that no one will dare to cause trouble there within ten days. If Your Majesty is to be held responsible for this, I am willing to be punished. "
Chu Ming trusted Chu Xisheng.
Knowing that Chu Xisheng would never abandon his chess pieces at will like Emperor Jianyuan did.
She then flew into the air again: "I won't talk to you anymore. Her Majesty the Queen has returned. I have to report my duties to her."
Ji Qianqian frowned when he saw this, but then he still reminded him loudly: "Chu Ming! You have to be careful!"
Chu Ming laughed after hearing this: "Are you worried about me as a father?"
She turned around and patted the expressionless Chu Rulai on the shoulder.
"I know this guy is not very honest and I have been keeping an eye on him. In fact, the one you should really be careful about is you. People's hearts are fickle and are the most elusive thing in the world. Wang'an City has the largest population and the most prosperous martial arts in the world. The divine power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire is pervasive, and it will not be easy for you to suppress this capital without causing trouble."
After she finished speaking, she continued to fly towards Miyagi.
Ji Qianqian looked at her back, and the vigilance in his eyes calmed down a little.
It would be good if Chu Ming was wary of Chu Rulai's thoughts.
This person's life or death depends on Chu Ming's thoughts, and he should not be able to get out of the trap.
As for Chu Ming's warning, Ji Qianqian wasn't too worried.
She did not dare to ignore the power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire, but she
Be confident.
Chu Ming probably still doesn't know what kind of power the prime minister of their Daru Dynasty has now.
Thinking of the short fat guy Jian Zangfeng.
When counting money, Qian couldn't help but look in the direction of Tianlao.
I wonder if what Jian Zangfeng is doing has been completed?
※※※※
At this time, Jian Zangfeng was sitting with Fang Buyuan in the sky prison where Dugu Shou, the Seventh Generation Master, was imprisoned.
"This is our condition." Jian Zangfeng said with a solemn and sincere expression, "I wonder what Mr. Dugu's business is like?"
Fang Buyuan, who is the Minister of Household Affairs of Dalu, smiled and said: "Mr. Dugu, we spent a lot of time and words to convince Queen Lu this time to get her to agree.
I know that you are loyal to the Daning Dynasty and will never change until death. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to accept my submission to my emperor. But you might as well regard this as a transaction and spend the rest of your life in exchange for the survival of Daning Sheji. "
Jian Zangfeng did not speak anymore, but looked at Dugu Shou intently, waiting for the answer from Grand Master Daning.
The condition they offered for Dugu Shou was that after Dalu captured the Central Plains in the future, they would choose a son from Lu Luanli's knees to inherit the Daning Kingdom and establish a separate vassal state in the Central Plains.
Destroying the country without stopping sacrifices has also been the tradition of China throughout the ages.
Jian Zangfeng thought that if even this method could not persuade Dugu Shou to surrender, then they would have no choice but to give up.
Dugu Shou, who had half-closed his eyes, was looking at Jian Zangfeng's hand.
His right hand has been holding a scale.
The two ends of the scale were constantly swaying and rising, but they always maintained a general balance.
There was a strange look in Dugu Shou's eyes: "Are you measuring and balancing people's hearts?"
Jian Zangfeng nodded: "Exactly, the human heart is elusive, difficult to measure, and even more difficult to balance, which makes the Grand Master laugh."
He can only balance the divine power of the Lord of Jealousy and the Lord of Desire in the two states of Heluo, so that the people of the two states will not be greatly affected.
"——As you can see, the gods are frequently bringing disasters to our human race at this time. If our race cannot work together to overcome the difficulties, the day when our race will be destroyed is not far away in the future."
After hearing this, Dugu Shou was secretly frightened.
The luck of the Wuxiang Divine Sect is really hard to describe.
After Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun, there is such a peerless genius.
He can even measure and balance people's hearts, so how powerful has his method of leveling and balancing the sky become?
Dugu Shou immediately looked puzzled: "I want to know, how virtuous and capable Dugu Shou is -"
After all, among the nine thousand super-grade martial arts cultivators that Chu Xisheng unsealed, there were not only one thousand but also three hundred who were more capable than him.
How could he be so virtuous and capable as a lonely guardian that he could be so valued by the fourth generation of Holy Emperors?
But halfway through, Dugu Shou realized that this question was meaningless.
So he changed his voice and said: "At this time when the Chinese people are in danger, Dugu Shou is willing to do his best. However, I want your majesty's personal promise to seal the country."
Jian Zangfeng smiled when he heard this and looked pleased: "That's no problem. It's a great blessing for our clan to have Mr. Dugu help us."
Lord Tu Dexing has promised to select one person from the human race to become the top three true spirits of the Heaven-Suppressing Method.
Among the countless powerful people in the human race, the only one who has mastered a powerful and reliable method to suppress the sky is Dugu Shou.
You need to know that their Queen of the East Palace is a direct descendant of the Ning Dynasty.
Their relationship with the Daning Imperial Master is by no means a life-and-death relationship.
