Xia Palace.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo wants to see you!"
At the entrance of Yanfu Hall, the voice of the guard came.
Qin Wuhen woke up from his practice, and in his eyes, two golden sword lights flashed away.
Then, he waved his sleeves, and the "Emperor's Sword" floating in front of him shook tremblingly twice, and then fell to the Dragon Collapse on its own.
After a day of refining, he has been able to initially control this divine weapon, the Emperor Sword, which is far beyond the level of a spiritual weapon. Although he is still not able to master it and collect it in his dantian, he can at least barely control it.
"Phew...still need to work hard!"
Qin Wuhen stood up, shook his head and whispered
Then, he looked towards the door and said calmly: "Xuan!"
"yes!"
After the guard's voice fell for a moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a green figure walked straight into the hall.
"Old minister, see your Majesty!"
Looking at Xiao Qi in front of him, Qin Wuhen smiled and raised his hand: "You don't have to be polite, Prime Minister Zuo!"
Seeing Xiao Ping getting up, he asked again: "Prime Minister Zuo is here. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Xiao Ping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the reform of official positions in the imperial court has come to an end at this time. All ministries are operating normally. The order and development in King Xia's city are thriving."
"But the news about the reform of the city master system has spread."
"Nowadays, chaos has occurred all over the Great Xia. The local officials and generals are supporting their own troops and testing the bottom line of the imperial court. Many aristocratic families and sects have shown signs of resurgence!"
"If this matter is not dealt with in time, there will be endless troubles. Therefore, I am here to ask Your Majesty to make a decision!"
Hearing this, Qin Wuhen was slightly startled, and then his face gradually turned cold.
From the moment he ordered the reform of the local city master system, he expected that abnormal situations would occur, but he did not expect that such a situation would already occur before it started.
"It is your own fault and you will not live!"
Qin Wuhen's eyes were cold: "Inform Jin Yiwei and the Eight Gates to monitor at any time, but don't rush to take action, wait until Li Xiaoyao and Lu Dongbin come back!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Ping naturally knew what Qin Wuhen was thinking, so he nodded in agreement.
Then, he continued: "Your Majesty, there is also the matter of the border."
"Now the coalition forces of the three major dynasties have been defeated, and the Cangming Dynasty and the Aogu Dynasty have been completely wiped out."
"According to the spies' reports, the Cangming Dynasty and the Aogu Dynasty already knew that their king was imprisoned in the Xia Palace. However, after this battle, my reputation in Great Xia spread far and wide, and the two dynasties were silent and frightened. They were thinking about how to deal with me. To ease relations and redeem their king."
"Of course, there are also different voices in the DPRK, who want to launch another desperate attack on our DPRK and save their king, but there are only a few such voices..."
A trace of disdain appeared on the corner of Qin Wuhen's mouth: "Who is in charge of the two dynasties now?"
Xiao Ping replied: "In the Cangming Dynasty, Prince Cangming is in charge of government affairs temporarily, and the senior ministers in the court assist him, while in the Augu Dynasty, the grand master of the current court is in charge, and the prince is in charge."
"hehe!"
Just by hearing this news, Qin Wuhen could imagine the situation of the two dynasties.
He continued to ask: "Where is the Murong Dynasty?"
Xiao Ping said: "The Murong Dynasty is very peaceful on the surface, but it is said that envoys from the Feiyu Dynasty and Tianyun Dynasty have recently entered the Murong Dynasty. The specific situation is unknown."
"Tianyun Dynasty, Feiyu Dynasty?"
Qin Wuhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew Murong Fu's insidiousness very well, and he would not calm down so quickly.
"Let the spies pay more attention to the Murong Dynasty's movements and report back at any time!"
"As for Cangming and the Aogu Dynasty..."
Qin Wuhen had murderous intent in his eyes: "Wait a minute!"
"When Li Xiaoyao and the others come back and completely stabilize Daxia, it will be their time to die!"
"yes!"
Xiao Ping nodded solemnly, and then said: "Now the situation on the border has been completely stabilized. General Lu Bu is stationed in Ziyang City, and General Han Xin is stationed at Shanyu Pass."
"And the two generals have sent their generals to the borders of the two countries to assist the guards in guarding. If there is an emergency, they can notify them at any time and provide support."
"In general, the four borders are extremely stable. However, after the last battle, the lost troops are still being replenished. It will take at least a month to restore the previous troops!"
Qin Wuhen waved his hand: "This matter is not urgent, as long as Lu Bu and Han Xin are at the border, it is enough!"
"yes!"
Xiao Ping bowed his hands respectfully, but for some reason, his expression suddenly felt strange.
Qin Wuhen frowned and said, "What else does Prime Minister Zuo have to do?"
Xiao Ping looked a little hesitant, but finally he handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the DPRK has been settled, and the foreign troubles have been eliminated..."
"So... so I beg your Majesty to allow me to... resign!"
Um?
"Resign?!"
Qin Wuhen sat up straight and stared at Xiao Ping: "Uncle Xiao? But am I ashamed of you?"
"Since I came to the throne, my father died, leaving behind this mess, which has led to internal and external troubles in Daxia, and I have been busy with the country. Maybe sometimes I have suffered a loss from you without knowing it. If Uncle Xiao feels bad for me because of this, During the break, I would like to apologize to Uncle Xiao, and hope that Uncle Xiao will understand!"
Uncle Xiao's expression suddenly changed, he bowed to the end quickly, and said with sincerity and fear: "Your Majesty, you are speaking harshly!"
"My resignation has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Your Majesty loves me so much that I will never forget it for the rest of my life, and I will never repay it even if I die!"
Qin Wuhen looked confused: "Then why did Uncle Xiao resign?"
"this……"
Xiao Ping's face was hesitant and his eyes were tangled.
Qin Wuhen frowned and said, "Can't you tell me clearly?"
"This... ugh!"
Xiao Ping sighed slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said with a calm face: "Your Majesty, the situation in the DPRK and China has been stabilized. Daxia's national power has greatly increased, and its rise is just around the corner! I will no longer be disappointed if I can see your Majesty leading Daxia to glory. This life is in vain!”
"Although I am the left prime minister of the DPRK, it is difficult for me to share many things with His Majesty. It is really a waste of time."
"Therefore, I shamelessly beg Your Majesty to resign from my post as left prime minister and let someone more capable take on this important responsibility!"
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Qin Wuhen looked at Xiao Ping, who looked ashamed and dejected in front of him, and couldn't help crying or laughing.
It turns out that’s the reason!
He can naturally understand Xiao Ping's thoughts.
As more and more powerful men from all over the world were born, Xiao Ping felt the pressure.
Lu Bu, Han Xin and others before were okay. After all, they were military generals and ignored government affairs.
However, since Li Si was born and served as the Right Chancellor, he has taken care of all the government affairs in the DPRK and the Central Government in an orderly manner, and has promulgated a series of great policies for governing the country that can be passed down through the ages. Who among the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government currently disapproves of Li Si?
Looking back at Xiao Qi, he is also the prime minister, but he seems to have no sense of existence at all.
Qin Wuhen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In fact, Xiao Ping's ability is not bad. Otherwise, how could he climb from the grassroots to the position of prime minister?
But that also depends on who you compare with.
Who is Li Si?
That was the eternal phase that assisted Qin Shihuang in establishing the immortal Qin Empire!
How many people can compare with him in the position of "prime minister"?
Although Xiao Ping has served as left minister for many years and has much more experience and qualifications than Li Si, he still falls short of him in terms of ability.
Compared with Li Si, Xiao Ping lacks such an enterprising spirit and seems to be quite conventional in his work and dare not go beyond it. This is not the case with Li Si. After all, he has a lot of successful experience and his vision and mentality are far beyond Xiao Ping.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Xiao Ping feels pressure and has this idea.
But no matter what, Xiao Ping is also a veteran of the court, loyal to Daxia and himself. Before he ascended the throne, facing the pressure from the two major families, Xiao Ping was still able to stand on his side and firmly support him, not to mention Besides, Qin Wuhen also had to remember this love.
Lack of ability can be tempered, but this loyalty is rare and valuable!
Therefore, Qin Wuhen never had the thought of giving up on Xiao Ping, not before and never again!
There was a long silence.
Qin Wuhen looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Uncle Xiao, don't mention this matter again. I understand your thoughts."
"But in my heart, Uncle Xiao and I are no longer as simple as a monarch-subject relationship. It can be said that without Uncle Xiao, I would not be where I am now. There are some things that cannot be exchanged for any treasure!"
"What's more, Uncle Xiao's abilities are obvious to all, but they are only good at different fields. Why should Uncle Xiao belittle himself?"
"I am still waiting for the day when I will come to China, and Uncle Xiao can still be by my side, overlooking the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with me!"
Xiao Ping suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, how can the veteran He De be so favored by Your Majesty!"
"I don't deserve it!"
"I say you deserve it, then you deserve it!"
Qin Wuhen stood up, waved his sleeves and said, "If Uncle Xiao cares about the relationship between the king and his subjects, don't mention this matter again!"
Xiao Ping immediately kowtowed and said excitedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I won't mention it again!"
"I will definitely use my remaining body to serve Your Majesty and Daxia, and I will devote my whole life until my death!"
Seeing this, Qin Wuhen said happily: "That's great!"
"Don't think too much, go down and rest!"
Xiao Ping stood up and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty! I retire!"
After saying that, he bowed respectfully again and then slowly exited the hall.
Quietly watching Xiao Ping leave, Qin Wuhen shook his head, smiled bitterly, and sighed softly.
a long time.
He shook his head and looked toward the southwest of Daxia with a calm gaze.
It’s been four days, and I don’t know what the situation is like at Shiwandashan...
--------------------------------------------------
Inside the second level of the Immortal King Ruins.
In the square, the fighting continues
The horrific aftermath of the battle shook the bluestone floor of the square to pieces.
A total of six strong men from the Dawu Dynasty and Tianjian Dynasty were in the Tribulation Stage, and they were in a stalemate with the demon youth. Although there was a gap in realm, the demon youth's cultivation was obviously not strong in the Mahayana period. One against six , it’s still quite difficult.
Above the Tribulation Stage, the body and soul have approached perfection. The six of them shook the space with just their physical strength!
All around, the nine demon cultivators of the demon clan were also scattered by people from various major forces. Basically, there were about ten people besieging one demon cultivator, and the place was in chaos.
In just a few moments, four demon cultivators were beaten to death. Even the Nascent Soul was blown to pieces, their souls escaped, and they completely disappeared from the world!
Although the demons are all strong at the Hedao realm and above, the humans always have the numerical advantage. If the stalemate continues, the defeat of the demons will be a matter of time.
Although the demon youth was busy dealing with the six people who were in the Tribulation Stage, he also noticed the situation of his subordinates, and a touch of violence and anxiety appeared in his eyes!
He knows that if this continues, I'm afraid even he will have to answer here!
His goal is only to inherit the Immortal King. The life and death of his subordinates are not important to him. But if he waits until his subordinates die and all the strong men of the human race surround him, he will not be able to leave even if he wants to!
Thinking of this, a stern look appeared in the demon youth's eyes, and he suddenly roared. At the same time, his aura suddenly swelled, and a destructive force emerged in the field!
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the six people who fought with them all changed!
"No, he's going to blow himself up!"
"Quickly retreat!"
Winning a fight and fighting to the death are two completely different concepts.
Although the six of them can temporarily suppress the demon youth, no matter what, the opponent is always a strong man in the Mahayana stage. A strong man of this level self-destructs, leaving no grass growing within a hundred miles, and is afraid of everyone present. No one can escape death!
Before they finished speaking, the six people withdrew a thousand meters away!
When the other powerful men from all sides saw this, including the remaining demon cultivators, their expressions were horrified and they all fled the place.
After practicing for so many years to reach this state, no one wants to die.
However!
Seeing the crowds retreating one after another, the demon youth above the square's originally swollen breath stagnated in vain!
Immediately afterwards, a touch of paleness suddenly appeared on his feminine face, and a trace of blood spilled from his mouth.
At the same time, his aura suddenly subsided quickly and calmed down, and the aura of destruction disappeared!
A touch of sarcasm appeared on the corner of the demon youth's mouth, he looked back at the crowd in the distance, then turned around, and galloped away in the opposite direction under the shocked eyes of everyone.
In a moment, he disappeared from everyone's sight!
The breeze blew and there was silence.
In the distance, everyone was stunned!
Escaped... escaped?
The most important thing is, can self-destruction be cancelled? !
Everyone is messy in the wind.
for a long time.
Everyone just came back to their senses one after another.
Elder Lingjian, a strong man in the Tribulation Stage of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, looked livid as he looked at the direction in which the demon youth was escaping: "Damn it!"
The rest of the people also looked ugly.
At this moment, everyone still doesn't understand that they were tricked by the young demon cultivator!
The other party must have used some secret method to frighten them by pretending to self-destruct, and then took the opportunity to escape.
However, at this moment, I can’t catch up even if I want to!
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
At this moment, several demon cultivators who were stunned by the demon youth's manipulation show came to their senses. Seeing that everyone ignored them, how could they let go of this good opportunity? They immediately flashed and moved in all directions. Run away!
Hearing the noise, everyone came to their senses. They had just been tricked by the demon youth. How could they let these demon cultivators escape?
The faces of the six powerful men in the Tribulation Stage were cold and they took action at the same time!
"You devil bastards, die for me!"
In an instant, all the demon cultivators who had not escaped within a thousand meters were overtaken.
Immediately afterwards, terrifying auras flashed, roars spread, and then turned into screams.
After a while, there was no more movement.
Except for the escaped demon youth, all nine demon cultivators above the Hedao realm died!
Everyone gathered again, but this time, they were divided into groups.
The strong man from the Dawu Dynasty looked at everyone in the field, then turned and left.
"Walk!"
When everyone saw this, they also left one after another to look for opportunities.
What happened here is that although the young demon cultivator escaped, if a strong man in the Mahayana stage wanted to escape, there really wouldn't be many people left to stay with him. The most important thing was to seize the time and find a way to enter the third level.
As for the young demon cultivator, if you encounter him, just stay away.
…
And at the same time.
Somewhere in the cave world, Li Xiaoyao and six others were speeding through mountains, forests and lakes, and finally saw a building that was incompatible with the surrounding scene.
A huge palace with a height of 100 meters!
The palace stands on the top of a cliff, towering into the clouds and majestic!
When he saw this palace, Li Xiaoyao stopped for a moment, and the others also stopped and looked at Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao took out the key to the ruins from his arms and saw a dazzling light emitting from the key.
And the direction that the light was facing was surprisingly the hall on the top of the mountain!
