54, The Conspiracy of the Nine Princes 2
Just over 3 hours after the Ma family declared independence, a total of 39 county kings in the empire declared independence at the same time, and at the same time, they launched a general attack on the nearby county towns with an army of 300,000 ghost puppets to nibble away at the imperial power.
Even in the imperial capital, there were hundreds of high-ranking officials who launched a rebellion at the same time, and three of the Ten Saints of the empire were also involved, that is, after the shadow left, the three who pretended to go after them were hunted down, and left the imperial capital only to inform the nearby army and prepare to launch a general attack.
The powerful families in the entire empire have basically received the benefits of the Nine Princes, and if they don't participate in it, don't meddle in their affairs, otherwise they will be killed. So this Nine Princes, what he said to Tilting Shadow before was basically a lie.
After the imperial capital launched an attack, the Nine Princes suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the palace and shouted inside: "If you hand over the throne, you will not be killed, otherwise you will be killed." ”
......
Tilting Shadow and Gluttony, seeing these armies, did not take direct action, but hurriedly left to inform other forces so that they could take precautions, at least not so passively.
So he acted separately from the gluttonous demon and asked him to persuade him too, as for whether they listen or not, it's none of our business, and now the first goal is to return to the Lin family in the north, so that they can give up their defense, take refuge elsewhere or surrender directly, otherwise they will definitely die.
At least this must be done before the puppet's weaknesses are figured out, otherwise it is just a fearless sacrifice that is not worth it at all.
Without the greedy demon with him, the speed was 10 times slower in an instant, and he could only advance 1 kilometer per second, and from here back to the Lin family's sphere of influence, there were only about 200 kilometers left, and the nearest county seat was only about 420 kilometers, so they would arrive in less than 2 hours.
Seven minutes later, the shadow appeared in the Lin clan's Renma County, and after coming here, he shouted on the city wall: "Uncles and uncles, the Ma family has been marching here with 100,000 ghost puppets, please evacuate immediately." After shouting, he flashed away and went to other counties to inform.
But there was no one who believed her words, not only her, but even what the gluttonous demon said, no one believed it, they were all doing their daily life there, and they didn't take the affairs of the Ma family's power to heart at all.
The main reason is that what the two of them said actually said that it was an army of ghost puppets, not an army of human cultivators, so how could they believe it, it was something that had disappeared for millions of years, and even more had not heard of it, so it caused their members to suffer heavy casualties, and finally became their prisoners.
To be more precise, all the rebel forces have all become prisoners of the Nine Princes, including all the forces in the imperial capital, even the children of their own imperial family have not been spared.
The most important thing is that the emperor's ancestors did not stop it, but allowed the nine princes to do mischief, which led to the division of the empire.
The war lasted very short, less than 12 hours, and the entire empire was divided into 41 countries, the largest of which was the imperial dynasty, but it was no longer the original emperor, but the ninth prince of the emperor at the time of the founding of the country, Di Huajing.
Of the 10 saints of the original empire, 5 were killed in battle, 2 surrendered, and 3 originally joined it, so now they have become the strongest three saints. As for the new Five Sages, they were taken over by those who participated in the rebellion, one of them was Xu Fengyu, who actually dared to be called the Witch Saint King, and really thought that he was the first in the world.
That night, the Ying Ying struggled to persuade the Lin family to be alone, the reason was that all the people present didn't like her, and the grandparents were not there, which led to heavy casualties in the end, if he hadn't chosen to surrender, it would only be a matter of time before the clan was exterminated.
This also caused Tilting to be disheartened with the family, and left after the Lin family chose to surrender, and returned to Wenwang County in Suquan County, no longer caring about their affairs, but concentrating on finding Xu Weiting, finding out the real culprit, and ignoring other things.
After returning to Wenwang County, Tilting didn't pay attention to anything, but just lay down and went to sleep, ignoring anyone calling, and didn't get up until 7 o'clock the next morning.
I got up and washed it casually, and after changing my dress, I walked out of the room, ready to go to Longyang County and Yanni County, pay all the construction fees, and hire 10 5-grade civil engineers to increase the construction speed.
When I came to the hall, I saw Dong Anning, Qiao Ji'er and the three demons, sleeping on the ground in a mess, without any elegant image at all, and she was speechless on the spot.
After glancing at them for a few times, he didn't bother to pay attention to them, but flashed towards Yanni County.
When they came to the city gate, the walls were so tattered that not even a single figure could be seen, but after watching for a while, they flashed into the city to see what was going on inside.
When you enter the city, it is in tatters, most of the buildings are destroyed, not even a single creature can be seen, it is like entering a ghost town, and it is terrifyingly quiet.
Qingying didn't bother to pay attention to so much, she came here mainly from the Mission Hall, as long as Old Man Bao was still there, it wouldn't be a problem.
A few minutes later, when I came to Old Man Bao's mission hall, there was no change here, it was still exactly the same as before, so I walked in directly, and after entering, I shouted there: "Old Man Bao, I am not here, collect the money." ”
When Old Man Bao heard the word "collect money", he hurriedly replied: "Come out immediately, and wait for a while." ”
As soon as he finished his words, he heard the sound of someone running, or from the ground, and in less than 30 seconds, he saw the garbage heap pushed away, and a person came out of it.
After the old man Bao came out, he looked around, and when he saw the shadow, he hurriedly said to her: "It turned out to be Miss Lin, come, go inside and say, it's not safe outside now." After saying that, he re-entered the underground passage, and the shadow had no choice but to follow in.
The passage is not wide, only 1.5 meters, staircase-shaped, but deep, about 1000 meters, but not dark, and every 50 meters there is a night pearl illuminated passage.
After going down to the lowest place, there are four long corridors, which really extend in all directions, but no matter which direction you look over, you can't see the end at a glance, and there are many rooms on both sides of the corridor, and there are door numbers on the door of the room, all of which are arranged with numbers.
As for the purpose of these rooms, Tilting didn't know at all, only that now Old Man Bao took her all the way to the north, walked about 500 meters, opened the door of the room and walked in, and when she also came in, she quickly closed it, as if she was afraid that others would find out.
After Tilting came in, he couldn't help but say: "Old man Bao, don't you want to be so cautious, there is not even a ghost in the city, what are you afraid of." ”
The room is not big, only about 20 square meters, with a bed, a low table, and a few futons on the ground, which is for people to kneel on.
It's just that Old Man Bao's room is like a garbage dump, except for those few things that can be seen clearly, everything else is blocked by garbage, and he doesn't know what is there at all.
But after Old Man Bao heard the words, he hurriedly spoke: "Miss Lin, it seems that there is no one on the surface, but those ghost puppets are nearby, I believe that there are ghost puppets searching in the room now." ”
After hearing his words, Tilt Ying just smiled slightly, and then said: "Hehe, no matter what, I came here to pay all the construction costs, and hire another 10 5-grade civil engineers, until all 9 county towns are completed, how much will it cost in total." ”
"Wait, I'll do the math for you. After saying that, he pushed the table away and immediately counted it there with a piece of paper.
After only 3 minutes of calculation, he calculated everything and said to her: "The material cost of 9 cities, 1~3 materials, a total of about 27 billion gold coins." The urban design fee is a total of 180 billion gold coins in 9 counties. It took 10 5-rank civil engineers a total of 14 days to build these 9 counties, with a total of 14 billion gold coins. The cost of urban defense facilities, a total of 180 billion gold coins in 9 counties. The total is about 401 billion gold coins. After speaking, he smiled at the Ying Yingmei, a bad old man who was greedy for money.
After hearing this price, I sighed in my heart, and immediately paid all the gold coins after sighing, and I didn't say a word during the period, because I didn't want to talk to him anymore, this bad old man who was a cheating father was clearly a greedy man.
After collecting all the payments, Old Man Bao took her out of the underground passage, and he personally went to inform the 5-grade civil engineers, asking them to go over to build it immediately, and order materials after the notice.
But the place where Old Man Bao took her away was not the mission hall in the city, but in a forest dozens of kilometers outside the city.
After bringing her here, Old Man Bao left alone and left her alone. Tilting is also happy to be like this, with you, a money-grubbing ghost, it's super inconvenient to do things.
So after identifying the direction, he wanted to head towards the nearby demon beast area, where to go first, who knew that just a few seconds after leaving the place, he received a message in his mind: "Return to Wenwang County quickly, prepare the rescue plan, Sister Tianyan has given an order, she will help you find Xu Weiting's location, but the premise is that you have to let Di Huajing personally give you the 'stone into gold' skill roll." ”
After receiving this information, he immediately turned around and headed towards Wenwang County, and when he returned to Wenwang County, when he saw them, he said to them: "Say, what do you want me to do, how can you help me, it is not so easy to see him now, the reason you know better than me." ”
"It's okay, it's not easy to see him, as long as she comes, you will know how to crack the 'turning stones into gold' skill, when the time comes, you go to him with this news and let him come with the roll, as for whether he dares to come, I don't know." "The spirit demon said very irresponsibly in the end.
In an instant, a large string of crows flew overhead, speechless and didn't know how to say that he was good, so irresponsible, what a bastard, in desperation, Tilt Shadow had to enter the room and wait while refining the poison.
After waiting for more than 3 hours, it was lunch time, and her figure was still invisible, and even the psychic communication of the mind demon, the other party also closed the screen, completely ignoring him.
