In the palace, the emperor watched the koi fish in the river in the back garden, in addition to the palace maids and eunuchs serving the left and right, there were two middle-aged men standing beside him, one of them was wearing tiger armor, looking majestic, and the other was wearing an embroidered python robe, which looked polite.

"Zixian, the imperial capital has been quite peaceful recently, but I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart! Do you know why?" The emperor's complexion looks a little bad, probably because of frequent insomnia.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing an embroidered python robe stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and now the entire imperial capital is indeed quiet and a little terrible, the emperor is worried about the country and the people, and it is naturally difficult to feel at ease!"

"Do you have any good solutions?" the emperor asked with a smile.

"Forgive Weichen for being incompetent, this time the matter is too tricky, and it will affect the whole body! The middle-aged man said respectfully.

"You are the prime minister of this court, even you are helpless, it seems that it is really difficult to do it this time!" The emperor shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, the more you feel that at this time, the more you have to cut through the mess quickly! Since the emperor already has the determination to reorganize China, why don't you cut through the thorns and make great progress?" asked the middle-aged man in armor on the side, puzzled.

The emperor sighed and said helplessly: "Shang Jie, you are still too reckless! Although I am the king of a country, do you think that the Tiger Ben Army can wipe out several powerful families, and which hidden family can you fight against?"

"But the emperor, this country is your country! How can you be controlled by the little people? You must kill them all!" Shang Jie is the marshal of the three armies, although his personality is a little irritable, but he is loyal, and Su Zi is the emperor's right-hand man!

"Why don't I want to get rid of those stumbling blocks as soon as possible? But what I lack is usable people! I finally have a Ye Jianfeng, and a few days ago I was given a talent and skill by Li Zhifan, and now I have become a waste! I really have a headache!"

Ye Jianfeng's matter made the emperor very pity, because if Ye Jianfeng was not deposed, then he would be able to launch a purge of other families in the name of the Ye family, even if something went wrong at that time, it would end up by Ye Wentian, and now that there are no good chess pieces, he will be very passive!

In fact, it's not just the emperor who also has a headache, the queen has been anxious recently.

In Kunning Palace, the queen and the eldest princess have been discussing how to deal with Li Zhifan's mother and son for the past few days.

"Queen Mother, let's discuss and go, and the final result is to continue to wait? Erchen is really unbearable!" The eldest princess has always disagreed with the queen's method, and feels that now is the best time to make a move!

"I've been telling you for so many days, why don't you still understand? It's easy to get rid of Li Zhifan's mother and son, but it's very troublesome to offend the backers behind him!" said the queen with a straight face.

"Queen Mother, what kind of backing can their pair of mother and son, who are as humble as ants, have any backing? If we kill them now, we can still get the magic weapon and bloodline totem cheats in the other party's hands!"

But the queen sighed and said: "It is precisely because of the existence of divine weapons and totem cheats that we can't make a move at this time, if we kill this mother and son now, we will become the target of everyone, and then other big forces will target us!"

"Who dare!You are the queen of the world!Who can oppose the royal family?" said the eldest princess murderously.

"You don't know much about this world, in the eyes of ordinary people, the imperial power is supreme, but in the eyes of the real big clans, our royal family is just a tool to take charge of the secular people in their place!" the queen sighed.

"But don't you still have the Xiao family, a hidden family, behind you?" the eldest princess asked puzzled.

"The Yin family is not the only Xiao family, they are mutually restrained by each other, once the balance is broken, then it will be a bloody storm! This is a result that no one wants to see!"

"Then there is no way to kill that lowly mother and son?" said the eldest princess through gritted teeth.

"Wait! There is no other way than to wait, only to wait until the mother and son themselves offend every family, and then everyone will attack them in groups, in order to have the best result!" said the queen with a smile.

......

Li Zhifan didn't care about the conspiracy traps of the outside world, all he wanted in his heart was to become strong as soon as possible!

However, a person's strength will always seem a little weak, and Li Zhifan also needs a super armed force that is completely controlled by himself!

The reason why he had this idea was mainly because the last battle made Li Zhifan see the flaws of the spirit beast.

Although the strength of the spirit beast is strong, compared to humans, the wisdom is still insufficient, and Li Zhifan needs to control it personally when facing the enemy, otherwise the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Li Zhifan wants to cultivate a group of dead soldiers who are loyal to him, and in the future, he can rely on the combination formation to help him resist strong enemies, and he doesn't have to be distracted and controlled.

Of course, the cultivation of spirit beasts is still indispensable, because as long as there are enough of them, they are still a big killer!

What Li Zhifan has to do now is to have as many hole cards and means as possible, otherwise it will not be easy to survive in this imperial capital!

The slave market in the south of the city is the best place to select the dead, because most of the slaves here are prisoners of war at the border pass, or some anti-thief tribe, who have been labeled as slaves all their lives, and there is no freedom at all!

Although there is only one Chinese empire in the Chinese continent, the surrounding barbarians often invade and invade, these tribes are barbaric and uncivilized, and from time to time provoke wars at the border passes, so the product of slaves was born!

In addition, among the 36 princes in the land of Kyushu in China, not every prince is willing to submit, there are always some princes who are ready to move, and there are rebels every once in a while, but these years are quite peaceful, and there have been no rebel princes for a long time.

Li Zhifan went to the slave market alone, and the slaves here were men and women, old and young, but there were very few that really satisfied him.

In order to sell the slaves at a good price, some merchants gave some male slaves pills, which looked muscular, burly and powerful, but in fact they were just strong on the outside and strong on the inside.

As for those women, the treatment will be slightly better, they usually eat and drink well, and they will also dress them up, if they can be favored by some rich old men and good boys, they can exchange a lot of money!

Li Zhifan has been shopping here for a long time, but he still hasn't picked a slave that satisfies him, because he not only needs these slaves to be strong enough, but also needs them to be bloody, affectionate, and loyal to him, not a numb walking corpse!
