Seeing that Zhang Xiaopou came back safely, everyone was finally relieved after being in suspense for more than a month. They were even more relieved when they heard that Zhang Xiaopou had captured Shangguan Jinqiu. Otherwise, they would have had such a powerful enemy around them all day long. Left and right, staring at their relatives and friends like poisonous snakes, they must have trouble sleeping and eating.
"It has been more than a month since I left the imperial capital. Needless to say, the memorials must have piled up. If I don't go back, the ministers may be scolded, so I have to say goodbye."
When Su De saw Zhang Xiaopou coming back, he said goodbye to everyone.
Originally, he was very motivated to be the emperor, thinking that he would one day unify Qingzhou and become the first emperor of Kyushu. However, this month he learned about the Queen of Tianwai Tian from Zhou Jianlai and others, and learned that there is no Tianwai Tian in the entire Qingzhou territory. The sect's territory was huge, and I couldn't help but feel a huge gap in my heart. I felt that I was just a local emperor sitting in a well watching the sky, and even unifying Qingzhou would be boring.
The energy in his heart to be the emperor was gone. Thinking of the memorial, the palace, and the imperial capital, he felt inexplicably repelled and bored. He felt that this was a terrible cage that would trap him in a small well for the rest of his life, so that he could never see it again. The big world outside.
However, thinking that the prince Su Qihong was already thirteen years old and would be an adult in three years and could take over the throne, Su De suddenly saw the hope of escaping from the prison in his dejected heart and wished that these three years would come in a blink of an eye.
Prince Su Qihong was still imagining that after he had a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, he could escape from the sight of Su De and Qi Ronger, leave the boring palace and imperial capital, and go for a walk in distant places. Little did he know that his father had already started digging holes for him. .
"Drink some tonight and leave tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaozu said something to persuade him to stay.
"May I?"
Su De's eyes lit up when he heard this, but instead of asking Zhang Xiaopou, he looked at Qi Ronger expectantly.
If Qi Ronger hadn't urged him to go back early to deal with political affairs, he would have wanted to stay in Liujiacun for a few more days and listen to Zhang Xiaozu and others telling stories about Tianwaitian.
Zhang Xiaozu followed Su De's gaze and looked at Qi Ronger in surprise, asking with his eyes: "Are you so strict?"
Qi Ronger suddenly blushed and glared at Su De angrily.
Su De smiled coquettishly and said, "Then let's stay one more day."
"yeah!"
Upon hearing this, the prince and several princes and princesses all had happy smiles on their faces.
Although there is no other scenery in the vast desert except wind and sand, in their eyes, it is a hundred times more beautiful than the scenery in the palace, so it is beautiful to stay for one more day.
Dusk.
Several bonfires were lit on the sand dunes in front of the village.
Children such as Zhang Tianci and Niu Yufu ran and played around the bonfire, while Zhang Xiaozhu and other adults sat together and chatted, ranging from Tianwaitian to Kyushu.
Mentioning the various sects and aristocratic families, Qi Yoyo suddenly looked cold and said: "This time I forced the various sects and families to take sides. Originally, I wanted to deal with those forces that insisted on going against us, so that they would be punished in the future. He didn't dare to offend Liujiacun again, but Shangguan Jinqiu and three others disrupted the situation and allowed them to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
But we can't just let it go.
If we just let it go, with you here, the forces led by Kyushu Auction House may not dare to offend us anymore, but they will definitely squeeze out and suppress the seven forces that stand with us.
If we let it go, if Liujia Village faces danger again in the future, no one will dare to stand up and help us.
Therefore, we must stand up and at least show strong power so that they will not dare to attack our seven allies. "
Zhang Xiaozu said: "Then just kill them all."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect Zhang Xiaopou to be so ruthless. He was about to destroy the sixteen heirloom powers headed by Jiuzhou Auction House with just one opening of his mouth.
Su De frowned and said: "I'm afraid it won't be possible to destroy them. I heard the old general said that the final doomsday is coming. Yan Taibai wants to unite the power of cultivators from all over the world to resist the doomsday. If we go on a killing spree at this time, I'm afraid it won't be compatible. Yan Taibai’s intention.”
Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said: "Kyushu must work together to resist foreign enemies and the apocalypse.
It is better not to have the unity of Heshenli. What I need is the unity of advancing and retreating together and living and dying together. "
"How are you going to destroy it?" Zhou Jianlai asked with a frown. .net
"Let there be only nine forces left in Kyushu. One force will rule one state, and the other forces... will be wiped out." Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes flashed coldly.
This was the answer he thought about carefully on the way back from Sichuan.
Zhou Jianlai frowned when he heard this and said, "The ancient power has existed for thousands of years and has a very deep foundation. If you want to uproot it, I'm afraid the blood will flow like a river."
"Then blood will flow like a river!" Zhang Xiaozhu said firmly.
"I understand." Zhou Jianlai nodded.
Zhang Xiaozu's decisive and cold attitude told him that in order to lead the cultivators of Jiuzhou to resist the invasion of Tianwaitian, Zhang Xiaozu was ready to become the second Butcher Zhang. In addition, the situation faced by Jiuzhou was already very serious, otherwise Zhang Xiaozu, who had always been kind to others, A pawn will never be ruthless enough to destroy someone's foundation.
"W-which nine families?" Su De's voice trembled slightly.
He wanted Dasu to become one of the nine families.
Zhang Xiaozu replied: "Zhongzhou Jiuzhou Auction House, Qingzhou Dasu, Pingzhou Daofazong, Lingzhou Lifa Sect, Chuanzhou Leiyin Temple, Luzhou Lingque Sect, Jingzhou Lingxiao Sect, Yuezhou Riyue Sect, Fuzhou I haven’t decided on the state yet.”
Su De was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that if Zhang Xiaozu's plan could succeed, he would soon be able to unify Qingzhou and become the emperor of the ages.
Zhang Guangyao, Qi Wuwei and others were secretly trembling, because Zhang Xiaozu's simple words had changed the fate of many people, and even many ancient forces that had stood for thousands of years would be overthrown by this power purge.
"This guy…"
Qi Wuwei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart as he looked at Zhang Xiaopou's calm and calm expression as he spoke words that were not surprising.
Recalling the conversation he had with Zhang Xiaozhu in Yancheng, he wanted Zhang Xiaozhu to restrain his temper and try not to offend the powerful, so as not to affect his future career, but Zhang Xiaozhu didn't care at all and said that they were not from the same world.
Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaozu was right. They were indeed not from the same world. His world was as small as a speck of dust in front of Zhang Xiaozu's world.
He turned his head and glanced at Qi Yoyo, a proud smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "My daughter is really good at reading people. It's up to her mother to do that."
He was beating around the bush without forgetting to praise himself.
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes suddenly fell on Su De, and he said in a serious tone: "Qingzhou is the foundation of Jiuzhou, it is the most important, and there is no room for error."
Su De immediately patted his chest and promised, "Dasu and Qingzhou will live and die together."
"Does Kyushu Auction House have the ability to rule Zhongzhou?" Qi Yoyo asked with a frown.
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaozu nodded affirmatively, "Because the Kyushu Auction House is about to become the family property of half of our bandits."
"That's it." Qi Yoyo laughed dumbly. She thought Zhang Xiaozu was leaving the Jiuzhou Auction House for Xiang Qingtian's sake. Who would have thought that he wanted to occupy the magpie's nest.
"What should we do about the demons? Senior Wang Mingyang has helped us a lot." Yuan Taiping said.
Zhang Xiaozu said: "Originally, I planned to let the demons go to Fuzhou, but in view of the racial war in Pingzhou, rashly handing over Fuzhou to the demons will most likely lay the foundation for another terrible disaster. The same mistake cannot be made. They committed the crime twice, so let’s let them stay in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave for the time being. I hope Senior Wang can understand.”
Yuan Taiping nodded and said, "That's the only way."
