478 I, Commander-in-Chief
The body of the dwarf was quickly dragged down, no matter how majestic and lofty he was before, now he was ruthlessly swept into the garbage heap, and Emperor Li also removed a coat of arms printed with a flame pattern from him, and carefully handed it to me, saying that this is the status symbol of the "Fire Messenger", with this chapter can run rampant throughout the provincial capital, and the major families and institutions can come and go at will, and to a certain extent, it can represent Emperor Li.
Holding this coat of arms, I have only one feeling: powerful.
In the past, I only knew that Emperor Li was quite majestic in the provincial capital, and everyone was afraid of him, but I didn't expect that even the Qiyao envoys under him could be so powerful, and the big tree of Emperor Li really overwhelmed the entire provincial capital.
Then, Emperor Li officially welcomed me into the secret realm, gave me an elevator card that allowed me to enter the top floor, and told me the password on the forbidden door. Actually, I memorized the password a long time ago, but now I still pretend to know it for the first time and memorize it carefully.
The room where the gnome used to stay has been completely renewed, from the bed linen to the bedding, and all the living utensils have been replaced with brand new for me. Zhao Tieshou explained to me the code of conduct as an envoy of Qiyao, except for the task arrangement, under normal circumstances, you can't leave the royal nightclub, and you need to greet Emperor Li in advance if you have anything. In addition, all my territory and forces outside will also belong to Emperor Li, and the control does not belong to me, and I will arrange other people for me when I go out to do things.
I can understand Emperor Li's intention in this arrangement, which is to deliberately weaken my strength in case I turn against him in the future. But I'm still that distressed, the territory I worked so hard to fight, and the strength that I worked so hard to build, the military general mosquito, the military advisor Lao Jiang, and my favorite sharp knife team, have just come to naught and gone down the drain?
As a result, Zhao Tieshou told me again that if I went out to do things, it would definitely be easier for my own subordinates to work, so Emperor Li allowed me to keep some of my own manpower, but the number could not exceed thirty.
I got energetic again and started picking right away.
It stands to reason that the Knives should have been retained, the most elite force under my command, but after the battle that night, I finally saw the true colors of some people, so I didn't hesitate to eliminate them all now.
In the end, I seriously selected a list of thirty people, of course, Lao Jiang and Mosquito are on the list, and the sharp knife team led by Flying Knife Chen also retains eighteen people, and the other ten are also some reliable brothers.
In fact, there are many brothers who can be trusted, but at this moment, I have no choice but to give them up. And after they followed Emperor Li, life may not be worse than before, everyone was just eating together, and with Emperor Li, they didn't have to worry about anything.
Emperor Li told me that I should recuperate for a while, and that I would have something to do in the future, and that I had to do it.
Since then, I have lived in the secret realm steadily, and the life in the secret realm is of course monotonous and boring, and Emperor Li occasionally goes out, mostly with Zhao Tieshou. For example, my uncle was playing games, while I went to the small garden to practice, and the air there was very helpful for me to practice the dragon vein diagram.
Although my uncle is only a stone's throw away from me, it is inconvenient for me to go directly to him because I have just entered the secret realm, and the emissaries of Qiyao usually ignore each other. But it's quite satisfying to see him every day.
Staying in the secret realm, my studies were completely abandoned, but I also seized this opportunity to practice hard, and stayed in the small garden almost from morning to night. I need to improve my strength as soon as possible so that I can help my uncle when dealing with Emperor Li in the future.
Because Emperor Li is really too strong, I can't see through his strength until now, and I really feel unprecedented pressure.
Seeing that I practiced so diligently, another person also felt the pressure, that is, the Golden Yao Messenger Meteor. He was once defeated by me, and he was definitely not convinced by me, so he often came to the small garden to practice, which can be regarded as a competition with me.
Of course, it doesn't matter to me, I practice hard and it's not for him, so everyone just practices their own way.
The air quality in the small garden is very good and my progress is as fast as it gets, one day inside is equivalent to three days outside. But there is a flaw in cultivating the dragon vein diagram, that is, every time I hit the acupoint, I will die of pain, and the pain will be so painful that the ghost will roar and scream, no matter how much I suppress it, it is useless, and the meteor is startled, and I am asked what kind of ghost kung fu I practice?
Of course, I replied to him, "It's your business." ”
I am also the envoy of Qiyao under Emperor Li, and I am not afraid of offending him, unless he himself does not want to live.
Emperor Li would sometimes receive some important guests in the secret realm, some people knew them, some people didn't, some people were arrogant, and some people were mysterious. However, only when the dragon king comes, the monotonous and boring secret realm will be a little happier.
Since the Dragon King replaced Long Yuhua as the chairman of the Longhua Group, he has become the absolute predator of the business community in the entire provincial city, and he is also a frequent visitor to Emperor Li, and the two often discuss business. The dragon king's personality is bold, not only is he quite familiar with my uncle, but he also has a good relationship with several other envoys, and I feel that he can play with anyone and be good friends with everyone.
Because he once stabbed me, of course I didn't have a good face for him, but he didn't shy away from this, and directly hugged my neck and said, "Yo, are you really angry?" Without my crucial sword, would you be the current Flame Messenger? ”
I said I'm about to bury my fart here, how can I be free outside?
The Dragon King said: "Why are you worried about this, are you afraid that Emperor Li will not arrange a task for you?" When the time comes, you can break your leg. ”
In a few words, the Dragon King and I "released our suspicions" and became good friends. He knew that I missed my uncle a lot, so he pulled me to my uncle's side to play games, and with him as a matchmaker, I was also "familiar" with my uncle, even if the dragon king was not there, I could go over to play games with my uncle.
Although he stayed in the secret realm every day, the news about the outside world was not broken, and Emperor Li really found a new source of goods for the major families and major forces, and it was cheaper than before. This kind of business in the provincial capital is also thriving again, destroying the "Qingning" that I once exchanged for my life.
I don't know how it feels to wear Jiuxing?
Also, the old man of the Wang family is terminally ill, and he has reached the point where he can't get out of bed at all, and the young master of the Wang family, Wang Gongzi, is completely in charge, and gradually becomes a faction of his own and takes charge of himself, so that the Zhou family can't raise his head.
In a flash, the season has entered the early winter, and I have been in the secret realm for more than a month.
On this day, Emperor Li took all of us to his room.
"It's time to act." He said.
In his room, we had a long meeting.
As I expected, Emperor Li's thief heart to dominate the provincial capital has not disappeared, and no one has ever been able to stop what this guy wants to do. The previous promise to abandon this plan was only a temporary expedient measure.
Now that several months have passed, the major families have gradually lowered their vigilance, and they have fallen into endless open and secret battles, and the Zhou family and the Wang family have fought several times. Several other families also had conflicts because of land and business problems, but the relationship between the Feng family and the Liu family was getting better and better.
Emperor Li learned from the pain, summed up the reasons for the previous failure, and he suspected that the previous plan was leaked, and it was Zhao Yi, the head of the Zhao family, who secretly reported the news.
In this regard, I'm thankful that the spiders didn't implicate me in the first place.
Emperor Li was ready to take various ways to completely destroy the Eight Great Families; But in order to act, I must be famous, and I must not arouse the alarm of other families, so this task fell on my head.
Because I was besieged by the Eight Great Families, it is only natural that I want to take revenge now.
And the fact that I became Emperor Li's subordinate Huoyao Messenger did not spread in the Tao except that the people inside Emperor Li knew about it, and everyone thought that I was still under house arrest. Therefore, it is most appropriate for me to do this matter, which is why Emperor Li said before that I must do this thing, and Emperor Li will manipulate everything behind the scenes and give me the greatest support.
Emperor Li asked me, who do you think is more suitable to start with?
When the army of the provincial capital besieged me before, the Liu family, the Zhao family and the Hong family were the Liu family, the Zhao family and the Hong family, and the three of them persevered to the end. And among these three families, of course, the most hated is the Liu family, Liu Dequan and Liu Canjun, there are a lot of public and private hatreds, and the accumulation of a pen can only eliminate the hatred in my heart by slaughtering his family.
So I immediately nominated the Liu family.
As a result, Emperor Li rejected my proposal: "Wang Feng, I know that you hate the Liu family a lot, but the relationship between the Liu family and the Feng family is not ordinary, if they join forces, it will cause us a lot of trouble, so we must leave them to the final solution." ”
Emperor Li said so, and I had no choice but to continue to choose between the Zhao family and the Hong family.
My hatred for these two families is half a catty. The Zhao family thought they were loyal to Emperor Li, but in fact, Emperor Li was already suspicious of them, and they deserved to have today, lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot; And the third young master of the Hong family died at the hands of Emperor Li, Hong Longxiang didn't dare to seek revenge on Emperor Li, and he tried his best to take my property, stupid and unaware, not as smart as the Zhou family, and he also deserved it.
It's just that there is still a Zhao Xueqing on the Zhao family's side after all, and I can't bear it, so I chose the Hong family without hesitation.
To destroy the Eight Great Families, there must be a beginning, so start with the Hong family!
I made my suggestion.
Emperor Li agreed on the spot: "Okay, let's start with the Hong family!" The Seven Yao Envoys listened to the order, from today onwards, the operation to unify the provincial capital has officially begun, and I have appointed the Huo Yao Envoy Wang Feng as the commander-in-chief of this plan, and the other Six Yao are all under his dispatch, and there must be no mistake! ”
Then, Emperor Li took a jade wrench from his left little finger and handed it to me: "Seeing this jade wrench is like seeing me, whoever dares to disobey you can kill him on the spot!" ”
