Chapter 23: The New Empire (Part II)
"I didn't expect Lan to be quite ruthless. While the two sisters, Red Pupil and Black Pupil, were hugging each other, Ye Wuji was watching Lan's abuse of Shangpu.
Lan used to be a teacher in a poor village, teaching the children in the village, until one day, when he went to class, he found that all the children had been tortured and killed.
Lan wanted the empire to deal with the murderer, but the result he waited for was that no one on the empire side cared about the murder of a child in an impoverished village.
Later, Lan discovered the darkness of the empire, and in order to change this situation, Lan decided to start with the top of the empire to carry out reforms, Lan and the revolutionary's philosophy is different, what he wants is to reform the empire from within.
Later, because of his handsome appearance, he attracted the attention of a young female taishou, and Lan's imperial equipment was obtained from the hands of this female taishou, and the reason why he was able to join the hunter was also because of the recommendation of this female taishou.
However, after seeing more darkness in the imperial capital, Lan also felt a deep despair about the reform from within the empire, until after seeing Shang Pu of the wild hound, the thought of revenge occupied his heart in an instant, and as for the imperial reform, he didn't care at all.
After that, Lan Qiang endured the idea of revenge, and took advantage of the opportunity of Seleu to join the wild hound, and was close to the wild hound, ready to find an opportunity to kill Shang Pu.
Lan is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that he did not complete his revenge before he died, and before that, Lan had decided to do it in the next two days, together with the black pupil.
Although Ran didn't tell his companions about himself, Black Hitomi still deduced some of Lan's thoughts from some of Lan's actions.
It's a pity that the two of them had just discussed the plan of action and were ready to take action at night, but Ye Wuji took action to kill the top of the empire, and their plan went bankrupt before it could be implemented.
"Najiehitan, I'll leave it to you here, the revolutionaries will still have some time to arrive, the imperial capital will be hard for you in the past few days, and there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, don't let them escape." Ye Wuji said and walked towards the interior of the palace.
"Yes, you two will rest here while I get rid of those bastards. Leonay said as soon as he rushed towards the palace.
"This little injury is nothing?" Not to be outdone, Brand and Lubbick were not to be outdone, and even Najeshitan's persuasion was useless to prevent the two from returning to the palace again.
"Finally it worked. As she spoke, Na Jiehitan threw a signal flare into the sky and summoned all the members of the revolutionaries in the imperial capital, as Ye Wuji said, although the upper echelons of the empire were taken away, there were not many follow-up problems.
"Estes, I don't know if I can help. After releasing the flare, Najehitan walked towards Estes, and after a moment of silence, Najehetan spoke.
"Not interested. Estes said coldly.
"After all, you have also been a general in the empire for so many years, and you don't want the imperial capital to be chaotic, I just hope that before they arrive, you can help maintain order in the imperial capital. Najeshi said frankly.
"Hmph. Estes snorted coldly, glanced at the very lost little emperor on the side, and then turned to leave.
"General Najehitan, this is. Soon the members of the revolutionaries in the imperial capital came to the front of the palace one after another, and when they saw the imperial soldiers lying on the ground, they were all shocked and confused, and they did not understand what was happening.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today, the revolutionary has finally won the final victory, and the minister is there, and there is his son over there, and we have finally succeeded after many years of hard work and sacrifice. Najehitan gave a general account of what had happened, and then let the members of the revolutionaries begin to maintain order.
At the same time, Will and Lan were also pulled into the imperial capital's garrison by Najieshitan, and now the matter here has not spread, once the news spreads, the imperial capital will definitely be chaotic, and at that time, strong people will be needed to maintain order in the imperial capital.
Lan and Will were able to get Najeitan's invitation because they had no evil deeds, and Porus was denied this treatment, and his imperial equipment was confiscated and the people were imprisoned.
Although Porus is actually a good person, it is a pity that Porus has done a lot of wrong things under the orders of the Empire before, such as setting fire to a village where there are still people, Porus has done it more than once.
Who made him a user recruited by Emperor Purgatory, the fire that caused Red Pupil to be suspicious of the empire in the first place was also done by Porus leading the burning troops.
Porus himself seems to have realized this kind of thing, so when the revolutionaries confiscated his imperial tools, although Lan and Will helped to intercede, he still honestly handed over the imperial tools, and followed him to prison.
His only worries were his wife and daughter, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he received assurances from Najehitan that the revolutionaries would never affect innocent family members.
In the original book, after Porus's death, his wife and daughter were also tortured and killed by the Wild Hound people, and that shouldn't happen now.
"Where do you want to go, Nishinomiya. "Deep underground in the palace, Ye Wuji directly found one of the minister's four henchmen who were preparing to escape with the imperial tool, and should also be the minister's most important henchmen.
"Stop him. As the West Palace spoke, the four black-clothed people standing on both sides of it immediately rushed towards Ye Wuji, but just as he jumped up, he fell to the ground at the same time, and the sound of broken bones sounded from the four people at the same time.
"I'm still thinking about making a comeback, so let me see what hole cards you have. Under Ye Wuji's control, Xigong quickly explained everything he knew.
"I didn't expect there to be such a magical imperial tool. Under the narration of the West Palace, Ye Wuji found the Emperor Gu World Encyclopedia Longgo Longo, which was put away by the West Palace.
This is a very magical imperial tool, which records the geography and topography of this empire, including the surrounding countries, and only records some general information for the surrounding countries, but for the territory of the empire, it is simply a matter of great detail.
As long as it is a territory belonging to the empire, there are detailed records in the World Book, including terrain, products, resources, and even the types of dangerous species, and the approximate number of them.
More importantly, the last page shows the large-scale natural disasters that will occur in the future empire, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, tsunamis, and so on.
And if the territory of the empire increases, the World Book will automatically display all the information of the new territory, which is completely an artifact of statecraft.
I have to say that the first emperor did a lot of things in order to make the empire he established a long history, but unfortunately the descendants were not angry, and such a powerful imperial tool was actually in the hands of one of the minister's subordinates.
At the same time, Ye Wuji also knew that Xigong Dongshan made a comeback to get the hole cards, and why the minister was stupid and let the revolutionary army gather and wanted to solve it all at once.
The minister is not satisfied with his current position, although his power in the empire is incomparable, but after all, there is a little emperor above, and there is also a general Bude on the side, some people who are not used to him are eyeing him, the little emperor will grow up after all, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be good to discover the truth that day.
So the best way is to be the emperor yourself, and the revolutionary army is a perfect target to use them, you can use them to deal with General Bude, and the little emperor.
To be able to become the minister of the empire, the minister is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not have climbed to such a high position.
In the case of having the Supreme Emperor Gu, no matter how many people there are on the revolutionary army, they will not be the opponent of the Supreme Emperor Gu, in fact, if it weren't for the Little Emperor himself causing too many killings, he would not have given Tazmi a chance to destroy the Supreme Emperor Gu at all.
Of course, this is only one hole card, the second hole card is General Estes, and even if these two hole cards do not block the revolutionary, the minister has a third hole card.
That is, he has let Xigong for so many years, using the secret base built by the World Book throughout the entire empire, and the personnel trained in it.
In the case of having the World Book, Xigong can choose a hidden base within the coverage of the entire empire at will, and as for the resources, there is an introduction to the World Book, are you afraid that there is none.
Even if the empire completely fails in the end, relying on these hidden bases alone, even if the minister can't gain a foothold in the empire, he can go to the countries around the empire to continue to do his power.
It's a pity that neither the original book nor the present, the minister has not completed his plan, he has not been able to escape from the imperial capital, and the West Palace has no need to escape from the empire.
In the original book, in the end, these hidden bases were still swept away by the red pupil, because after the death of the West Palace, the world book fell into the hands of the red pupil, and relying on the guidance of the world book, the red pupil solved these troubles.
Although it will cost a person to use two imperial tools, in the original book, Rell reluctantly used two imperial tools in order to save the black pupil, which directly caused one of his internal organs to be damaged.
But at that time, the red pupil was no longer the same, after using his own emperor Gu Murayu to cut himself, the red pupil was already an inhuman existence.
"Obediently, it's such a rich resource, but it's a pity that the Great Qin Empire can't make such an imperial tool. After killing the West Palace, looking at the resources within the empire recorded in the World Book, Ye Wuji was shocked.
Ye Wuji is now even more curious about the first emperor of the empire, such an emperor, even with his current strength, he can't do it, but the first emperor did it a thousand years ago.
However, although the resources within the empire are abundant, how to obtain these resources is a big problem, because all the resource-rich places are difficult for humans to reach, most of them are in the mountains, not only the distance is long, but also there are a large number of powerful and dangerous species.
"I really don't understand why these people are so greedy. After closing the book of the world, Ye Wuji sighed slightly, even in his current realm, he still didn't understand some people's thoughts at all.
Just like the minister, these people in the West Palace are obviously already masters and live a very luxurious life, but they have been constantly exploiting the bottom.
Even if a person with a lot of money gets moldy in his own warehouse, he will not give a penny to the relief of the empire.
From the West Palace, Ye Wuji knew several places, where the minister used to hide his property, and the amount of his property was enough to rejuvenate the empire.
"Kelly, it looks like you're a lot older. "The red pupil who pursued Daoxuan met an acquaintance who was in the same empire back then, a person with a very old face, and it was this person who created the red pupil.
Behind Kelly stood dozens of people dressed like him.
"Because of the trouble caused by your betrayal, you can't even get old. Kelly looked at the red pupils and sighed deeply.
"I think you also know that the empire is over, do you still want to resist at this time? Red Hitomi frowned involuntarily.
"The empire is over, and it's time for us to make an end between us, right, to be honest, what I've always hated the most is you in the elite group, and at the same time you're also the person I envy the most, envy you for having the opportunity to choose, but it's a pity that we don't even have the opportunity to choose. Kelly said as he slowly drew his long knife.
"Now you have a chance to make a choice. Red Hitomi spoke.
"I know, it's a pity it's too late, what's the situation with the strengthening group, I think you should also know, even if we surrender now, it's just a matter of living a little longer, in that case, why not make a conclusion here, let me see the real difference between the strengthening group and the elite group, taking medicine." Kelly said as he swallowed all the medicine from the bottle in his hand.
"Then I'm sorry to bury you. After the red pupil said the three words to bury you, his eyes immediately became firm, and he rushed towards Kelly and the others with the village rain.
"I didn't expect the gap to be so big. Looking at the rapid extension of the curse on his arm, Kelly collapsed after leaving such a sentence.
Although Kelly's side has an absolute advantage in numbers, the red pupil far surpasses them in strength, and with the power of the gods, in a short period of time, the red pupil solved these people unscathed, and then caught up with Dao Xuan, and under his fearful begging for mercy, he solved him with a sword.
Red Pupils kill people and never deliberately torture them.
"Haha, boss, the night raid can be disbanded. Leonai took the corpse of the minister's other henchman, Yongguan, and walked to the palace hall, and said to Najeshitan, who had already come.
"Yes, the night raid can indeed be disbanded, what do you want to do after that, Leonay?" said Najehitan as she withdrew her gaze from the Emperor's throne in front of her, turned to Leonay and said with a smile.
"Of course I went back to living my life. Leonai said with a smile.
"Don't stay. Najehitan was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"With the boss here, I believe it's okay, what can I do if I stay, I don't know anything except fighting. Leonai waved his hand.
As a member of the Night Raid, his exploits cannot be seen, after all, such a thing as a killer can never be put on the surface.
"This seems to be my room, I guess I didn't go wrong. At night, Ye Wuji just walked into the room arranged for him by the revolutionary army, and unexpectedly found that Leonai was actually inside.
"I know, I'm just waiting for you, speaking of which, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid that if it wasn't so easy to succeed, one of us would definitely die. Leonay jumped suddenly, wrapped her legs around Ye Wuji's body, put her hands around Ye Wuji's neck, and continued, "So I'm here to thank you. ”
"You don't have to, I just happened to meet you. Leonai's movements made Ye Wuji's body stiffen, don't look over it and say.
"You say that you are the emperor of a country, look at your appearance, don't you look like it, don't you want to send it to the door, or say that you can't do it. Leonay leaned into Ye Wuji's ear and said as she licked his ear.
"You're playing with fire, you know. “
"Then do you want to play together? “
"Wait, don't regret it. Ye Wuji picked up Leonai as he spoke, and walked towards the bed on the side.
