world.
Kushan County.
After the Three Kingdoms returned to Shang Dynasty, the Guishang Kingdom was divided into the largest county in Kyushu due to its vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and single ethnic group.
Jinlun, the thirteenth prince of the Kushan Kingdom, was the first governor of Kushan County.
The county governs Luntai.
At this time, LT County.
The Kushan royal family stood on both sides of the county road, bowed and saluted, facing the sky.
Ten heavenly locomotives broke through the sky and flew from the sky.
Everyone in Kushan is in awe.
Sincerely in awe.
three months ago.
The Guishan Kingdom spent all its efforts to build more than a dozen giant fairy ships to fight against the Great Shang. Not only did one of them fail to return, not even a single person from the army on the fairy ships returned. It is said that all of them died in the battle.
Even the thirteenth prince, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared on the battlefield and surrendered to Dashang.
While the whole country was shocked, the followers of the Thirteenth Prince even cried out in tears, telling them that Kushan had made an enemy that they should not mess with.
This enemy is none other than Dashang.
Dashang was the most powerful empire under the sky. They only used a mosquito to destroy the Kushan Empire's army.
At first, no one believed the words of the Thirteenth Prince's followers. How could a mosquito wipe out hundreds of thousands of troops?
These people were all arrested by the Kushan king, paraded in public, and even hanged and burned to death in public to calm the people's panic.
Even though later, the three-eyed Great Merchant God would descend from the sky, sweep across the Kushan royal family, and support the thirteenth prince to become the Lord of Kushan, they still did not want to believe the rumor that a mosquito wiped out an entire army.
What's more, they had seen those giant black fairy ships. That fairy ship was as big as a city. It flew over their heads, and even the sky was swallowed up by darkness.
Facing that fairy ship, they didn't even have the courage to stand up.
How could a mosquito from Dashang destroy a fairy ship comparable to a city?
But an insect, no matter how big it is, can be as big as it is.
However……
Within a few days, they were slapped in the face.
Chaos gods and demons are coming.
They only saw monsters that covered the sky and fell from the sky. Each of these monsters was thousands of miles tall and extremely huge. A pig could swallow up their holy mountain, and a cow could flatten their vast land...
On this day, they finally believed it.
It is not impossible for a single mosquito to wipe out their army.
From that day on, all the fear of the Chaos Gods and Demons in their hearts was transferred to Dashang.
…
Above the sky.
The locomotive fell.
A group of big business officials stepped out of the Tianji chariot, with steady steps and majestic equipment. The aura of a great power arose spontaneously, and an unknown pressure hit their faces.
"Look, Di Ji's people are coming!"
"Thanks to Chaoge's Shangguan, he made my hands tremble and I was speechless without saying a word..."
"They looked no different from us...the only difference was that he took one look at me and I knelt down."
…
While everyone was talking about it, a lame young man was sneaking out of the crowd quietly.
"Hey! Don't back down! This time we made an agreement! We will give you all the food at home, and you will stand up for us!"
At this moment, a big hand suddenly grabbed him.
"...I, I'm afraid!"
"If you're afraid, just give all the food back to me, and I'll find someone else later!"
"Hand, I can't hand it over... I, I've already finished eating."
"...Are you from the Kushan royal family? The royal family is not as good at eating as you are!"
"How about I plant it and pay it back next year?"
"no!"
"Go ahead, you!"
"Ouch!"
Behind the Kushan royal family, there is a crowd of Luntai city residents. They are shoulder to shoulder, a sea of people, standing on tiptoe to get a look at Chaoge's Shangguan.
This conversation took place in an inconspicuous corner among the crowd.
Here, stood a group of people, their clothes were ragged, their hands were covered with calluses, their positions were strange, completely different from the calluses from farming.
Among this group of people, there was a young man who was wearing slightly clean clothes but was lame on his right foot. He was thin and handsome, with curly black hair that was slightly golden.
This group of people accused him angrily.
Finally, from the crowd surrounding him, a foot suddenly stretched out and kicked him out.
Then, he stumbled out, bumped into two Kushan royals, threw himself in the middle of the county road, lay down in front of a Tianji car, and ate a mouthful of dirt.
"Assassin, assassin!"
"Catch the assassin quickly!"
The royal family members who became the first officials of Guishang County were shocked at first, and then they reacted as quickly as possible and immediately shouted to arrest the assassin.
After shouting, they remembered that they were just officials serving the people. If they did not do well, they would even be demoted to civilians in the next term.
They had long been deprived of military power, without guards or troops.
So, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward, holding down this civilian who didn't know the heights and heights of the sky and bumped into Shangguan!
"Shangguan, Shangguan, I have something to report to Shangguan, let me go, let me go..."
"It's a very important matter! Shangguan!!"
Shen Gongbao stood in front of the Kushan boy who had been kicked out. His face was calm and he waved his hand to signal the Kushan royal family to retreat.
"This person rushed to Shangguan with ulterior motives. It would be safer for us to suppress him and reply..."
Shen Gongbao glanced at them and said, "You mean, I will be in danger?"
Several people were struck by Shen Gongbao's gaze and their hearts trembled. They quickly lowered their heads and put down the lame young man.
Shen Gongbao's eyes fell on the young man, showing a calm smile, and said: "Why do you ask me to stay? But you want to accuse these officials? If you have evidence that they are corrupt and perverting the law, I will kill them on the spot."
Shen Gongbao's words not only made the Kushan royal family, but also the lame young man tremble with fear, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said eagerly:
"No...it's not..."
"The grassroots are from the Guishan Kingdom... Bah, citizens of LT County, Guishang County, are... entrusted by... the villagers to ask the superior for something..."
Shen Gongbao suddenly became interested and said, "What's the matter?"
The young man seemed to have exhausted all his courage, gritted his teeth and said: "Shangguan, can you give us some seeds of spiritual roots... We can't survive anymore..."
After the lame boy finished speaking, a burst of empathetic choking sounds suddenly sounded around him.
then.
The ragged villager who pushed the lame boy out was the first to kneel down and beg:
"Please Shangguan give us the seeds of spiritual roots..."
"Please Shangguan give us the seeds of spiritual roots..."
…
"Please Shangguan give us the seeds of spiritual roots..."
Immediately, the surrounding Guishuang people, whether they knew the lame boy or not, all knelt down and begged Shen Gongbao to give him spiritual seeds.
Shen Gongbao quietly looked at the villagers who were kneeling down from the gate of the county town. He paused and stepped out of the way. He pointed at the middle-aged man behind him and said, "This matter is not my responsibility. I should go to Zhao." Doctor Qi Zhao."
Zhao Qi looked at the lame young man quietly, his eyes falling on him, as if he was weighed down by a huge weight. He did not dare to raise his head. He only heard: "There is no disaster in Guishang. The army did not bring food and grass when they went out a few months ago. You guys Isn’t the food supply enough for you?”
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, the Pojiao boy laughed miserably and said, "Where are the grain reserves left? In order to build the Yuxu Immortal Ship, the farmland in Guishuang has been abandoned for three years... We all relied on the grain reserves in previous years. Live until now.”
Zhao Qi sneered when he heard this and said, "Jiang Ziya deserves death for his crime."
"Ahem..."
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, his hair was scruffy, Jiang Ziya, wearing the official uniform of the Tianji Academy, awkwardly walked down from the Tianji car.
Zhao Qi suddenly felt even more embarrassed than him and said with a smile: "Dean Jiang, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Jiang Shang."
Jiang Ziya:......
He sighed, looked at the kneeling villagers in LT County, and said: "The king came to Tianjiyuan that day and decided on the direction of Tianjiyuan's research. He once said something. The world is suffering through military warfare, even if there is a fairy boat that can be safely used. .”
"I didn't expect that your Majesty, that day would have been counted to today."
Jiang Ziya, whose appearance had long changed, looked at the lame young man and said calmly: "Since the people of Luntai have pushed you out, it means that you are a courageous person, a trusted person, and a capable person. I The purpose of coming to Kushan is to solve the long-standing ills of the Kushan Empire."
"As the rulers of the Kushan royal family, they have long been separated from the bottom and do not know the sufferings of the world. From now on, you should follow me and be a doorman who leads the way."
"Tell me, what is your name?"
When Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he didn't know that the corner of the slope-footed boy's lowered mouth was twitching.
Damn courage...
A ball worth trusting...
He was just pretending to agree to get some food.
He is a liar.
He was kicked out.
However, the matter has reached this point, the die is done, and we can only bite the bullet.
The young man timidly raised his head and replied respectfully:
"Dragupta, a grass-roots citizen, has met... met the superior..."
Jiang Ziya said: "The name of the Kushan Empire is Chongfu, from now on you can be called Cripple."
Dragupta:? ? ?
He still thought it would be Dhara or Gupta, why was he lame...
Dragupta did not dare to refute, but had to thank him repeatedly.
Jiang Ziya immediately withdrew his gaze from Dragupta, looked at the people in front, and said as he walked:
"The governor, arrange for a craftsman who is familiar with the immortal work to take me to the workshop of the immortal work. I want to know that before Yun Zhongzi left, he destroyed the mechanisms and equipment of the immortal work here. How many."
After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, the Kushan royal family looked a little strange. Prince Jinlun, who was given the surname Jin, said:
"In addition to the royal family, the Kushan people are all familiar with it..."
There was loneliness and sigh in the voice.
He pointed to the leg of the lame boy and said: "Dragupta was once a craftsman in Immortal Creation. His leg was crushed by a mechanism..."
Jiang Ziya glanced at the lame boy, flicked his fingers, and a piece of talisman flew out of his sleeve and landed on the boy's crippled calf.
The next moment, the talisman bloomed with fairy light, and Dragupta found that his leg was healed.
He was stunned there for a moment, so excited that he wanted to cry, and even forgot to say thank you.
"Don't be stunned. Since you are familiar with it, take me with you."
Jiang Ziya's voice made him wake up, wiped the tears from his eyes, thanked him with tears of gratitude, and quickly walked in front to lead the way for Jiang Ziya.
The young man walked faster and faster, and at the end he found that he was walking dozens of feet with one step, and the distance of dozens of miles was covered in an instant.
Jiang Ziya nodded, pushed open the door of the Immortal Creation Formation, and was stunned for a moment...
All the organs and equipment were in place and not a single bit was damaged.
"This...is not the way Yuxu Palace behaves..."
"Could it be that Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi also had the idea of joining the Great Shang and deliberately left these immortal creations to express his feelings?"
For Yun Zhongzi, it is simply too easy to destroy these formations.
Jiang Ziya frowned and decided to inform the king of this guess.
"Sir...is there any problem here?"
Dragupta asked curiously as he had automatically assumed the identity of the doorman.
Jiang Ziya looked at the fairy workshop in front of him that had drained the financial resources of the Three Kingdoms, sighed and said:
“No problem is a problem.”
"It seems that my trip this time was in vain."
…
Jiang Ziya then used his escape skills to return to the Kuishang Palace, which is now the seat of Guishang County, the great merchant.
At this time, all the officials of Dashang had been invited to the banquet by Prince Kushan.
When the Prince of Guishuang saw Jiang Ziya coming in Tudun, he hurried forward to greet him and said:
"Shangguan, we have already set up a banquet here. The regulations are in full compliance with the banquet regulations for merchants you issued. One serving per person, four dishes and one soup, no extravagance or waste!"
Jiang Ziya was pushed to the top by Zhao Qi and others.
When Jiang Ziya told the story about the preservation of the formations left behind by the immortal creations, everyone present had the same idea.
Yun Zhongzi actually left all the masterpieces that he had worked hard on for several years to the great merchant and the great king.
There is definitely something weird about this.
"However, since there is nothing wrong with Guishang's immortal creations, it's time for Pindao and Brother Shen to go back."
Jiang Ziya pointed at Dragupta and said to several Kushan royals: "From now on, he will have full authority to handle the immortal creations of Kushan."
"You all must cooperate well."
The Kushan royal family agreed one after another, feeling envious in their hearts. How lucky would a cripple be to be valued by Shangguan Chaoge.
After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he stopped talking. Zhao Qi then asked:
"Governor Jin, it's been three months. I asked you to draw the county map based on the topography and population of Kushan. How is it going?"
Upon hearing this, Jinlun hurriedly asked someone to fetch a map of Guishang County. On the map, Guishang was divided into more than a dozen counties based on the general trend of mountains and rivers and the distribution of human races.
Zhao Qi looked at the map of Kanyu, nodded, and said: "We have never gone to Miao and Mobei, but came to Guishuang first. This shows that the king attaches great importance to Guishuang."
"In the coming time, we will take the lead in implementing various reforms in Kushan."
"I hope you will cooperate well and don't take the head on your neck seriously."
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, not only the Kushan royal family but also other Kushan officials began to sweat.
…
Half a year later.
Chaoge, Shouxian Palace.
Zi Meng stood in front of the map of Kyushu, looking away from the land of Miao, Guishuang, and Mobei that was undergoing transformation. In his hand was a Bodhi leaf.
This bodhi leaf was covered with fairy light, a human figure appeared, and at the same time a voice came from it.
"This time the gods and demons invaded, the poor Taoist got a glimpse of the secret. Our Western religion wants to change its name to Buddha. It is no longer a side branch of Xuanmen. It is its own lineage. It does not worship Hongjun or recite Huangting. I dare to ask King Shang, if you can let Buddhism Spread eastward and save all sentient beings?”
