Chapter 42: Eight Years in a Hurry (Part II)

Most of the immortal Dao exercises have the effect of rejuvenating the face, Huang Rong is already smart and beautiful, and her posture is unparalleled, and after the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao cultivation is successful, there is more ethereal fairy energy.

Such a smart and lovely beauty, if Zhao Kong wants to say that he is not impressed at all, it must be fake.

But before the third order, there was no doubt about the benefits of maintaining Yuanyang's body, Zhao Kong was not a genius in the first place, and if he further weakened his foundation, it would be foolish.

What's more, now this body is just for a while, Zhao Kong will return to the Shenzhou Realm sooner or later, even if Huang Rong can accept him to change his appearance, Zhao Kong will have a pimple in his heart.

So three years ago, Zhao Kong looked at Huang Rong, who was more and more drowning spirits, and told her a story, and the name of this story was - The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Although Huang Rong was only fifteen years old at that time, she was very intelligent.

After the fourth layer of Yuqing, the imperial sword flew all over the north and south of the river, and his wisdom was far from being comparable to that of his peers.

After listening to Zhao Kong's story about the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Huang Rong was silent for a few days and flew to the desert, and when she saw Guo Jing, who was still stupid at the time, she really couldn't raise too much good feeling.

Especially after confirming that Guo Jing had a marriage contract with Hua Zheng, the last trace of hesitation in his heart also dissipated.

After playing with Guo Jing, Huang Rong passed on the Jiuyang Divine Skill to Guo Jing, and then flew back without hesitation, telling Zhao Kong that she had nothing to do with that story.

Such a smart and decisive woman made Zhao Kong, who originally wanted to cut off the love thread as soon as possible, become even more hesitant, and this hesitation is three years.

"Alas, forget it, take it one step at a time."

Looking at Huang Rong in front of him, Zhao Kong couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

"Don't worry Rong'er, your father is a smart man, but he is just anxious for a while, it won't take long for him to figure it out, and it will be natural to go further when the time comes."

Zhao Kong quickly cleaned up his mood, touched Huang Rong's hair with a smile, and comforted softly.

"Well, Brother Kong, I know, don't talk about my father, today's dish is a new dish that Rong'er just figured out, how about you try it!" was persuaded by Zhao Kong, Huang Rong quickly turned her worries into joy, pulled Zhao Kong to sit at the table, and the two happily ate lunch.

……

The days with Huang Rong by her side are naturally relaxed and pleasant.

It's a pity that Zhao Kong's mind is not on the love of children, although he hides it well, but he can't hide it from Huang Rong, who is as careful as a hair, and after accompanying Zhao Kong for more than half a month, Huang Rong returned in a daze.

Seeing Huang Rong Imperial Sword return to Peach Blossom Island, Zhao Kong began to think about the cultivation again.

As for whether to take the risk of stealing the origin of the world, Zhao Kong, who was more gambling, finally chose to fight again.

Heavenly Law Foundation Building is a matter involving the foundation, and no matter how high the value of the Heavenly Yin Yuan Dao and Zhenyuan Ding is, it is just a foreign object, weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Kong knows very well how to choose.

However, this matter is impatient, not only must you carefully calculate the most suitable time, but you also have to upgrade your cultivation to the ninth layer of Yuqing in order to further increase the success rate.

The dimensional consciousness of this realm is chaotic and sleeps most of the time.

But this kind of thing of extracting the origin of the world is like drawing blood from a person, even if it is a sleeping fool, but if it is not done properly, it will also wake up the other party.

Don't look at the Condor World as a low-martial world, but according to the summary of tens of thousands of years in the Divine Prefecture Realm, the plane consciousness of this world is at least equivalent to a fourth-order powerhouse.

Even if it is muddy for a long time, its real combat power will not play much.

But if it is aimed at Zhao Konglai, the strength of the eighth layer of Yuqing will definitely not last for a few seconds, and he will have to roll back to the Shenzhou realm.

"Three years from now, this realm will be in a period of decay once in sixty years, and the plane consciousness will definitely be in a state of slumber to reduce the consumption of the power of the source."

"If you do it at this time, the success rate will inevitably be much greater, but if it is discovered, it will also completely anger the plane consciousness, and I will definitely not be able to bear the consequences."

"Therefore, it is safer for me to cultivate the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the ninth layer of Yuqing within three years, or even reach the ninth level of consummation."

"Otherwise, even if you succeed in stealing the origin of the world, you will be instantly killed by the awakened plane consciousness, even if it is not a real death, it will still be a loss."

In the past eight years, Zhao Kong has not only practiced Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, but also learned many secret methods brought from the Shenzhou realm.

Even the formation method, a slightly gifted minor method, Zhao Kong also studied it seriously after he realized that he had the opportunity to touch the origin of the world.

If you want to conceal the plane consciousness, you must rely on some secret methods and large arrays, so Zhao Kong has to strengthen this aspect, at least arrange the hidden heaven array in Zhao Quan's record.

In addition, if you want to steal the origin of the world, there is also the most critical premise, that is, you are qualified to sacrifice to the heavens on behalf of all the peoples, so that you can communicate with the origin of the world.

And this qualification is obviously not something that a vassal king can achieve.

When Zhao Kong returned to the palace, the maids waiting in the palace immediately greeted him.

"Inform me that tomorrow morning there will be a court meeting, and all officials above the fifth rank in the royal capital will be present."

"Yes, lord."

The maid gave a gentle blessing and left with small steps.

There were no eunuchs in the palace of King Wu, and all affairs were handled by women.

Zhao Kong, who has experienced modern society, naturally knows how much potential a woman has.

Wu Guoxinli, with a population of less than 10 million, is exactly the time when women need to be used as men.

Zhao Kong deliberately withstood the pressure, and in accordance with the Ming Dynasty's inner court system, set up female officials in the royal court, so that the female officials could control the prisons of the inner court, as well as the all-important power of wearing red, and gradually stepped into the officialdom.

Although there are not many women who are in charge of things now, as long as they can be maintained, sooner or later there will be a large number of female talents who will be active in the officialdom of Wu State.

……

The next day, Wu Wang Palace, Taiji Palace.

Zhao Kong sat on the high platform and listened to the officials below report on the situation in various places.

Although the Giant Whale Gang still exists, its main role is to deal with the affairs of the Central Plains more flexibly.

Most of the high-ranking members of the gang have the official status of Wu State, such as Yan Dong, the elder who is getting older but more energetic, and now he is also in the position of the secretary of the military department of the Wu Kingdom, and he is reporting to Zhao Kong about the situation of the Wu State army at this moment.

"King Qiqi, the 200,000 troops scattered on the islands have completed their training."

"Among them, the 20,000 most elite Dragon Elephant Army, under the catalysis of Jing Yuan Dan, has all cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong to the fifth layer, and the old minister dares to make a military order, and the Dragon Elephant Army can defeat the Jin Army more than ten times more in a head-to-head battle."

"In addition to the 20,000 Dragon Elephant Army, the combat strength, equipment, and morale of the other 180,000 armies are only stronger than the Jin Army, not weaker, just wait for the king's order, you can go north to attack Jin at any time!"

The Dragon Elephant Praruo Gong was snatched back by Zhao Kong when he went to the snow area seven years ago, and Zhao Kong couldn't look down on this technique himself, but he used it to train the elite troops of the Wu State.

As mentioned before, the pill that can be refined during the apprenticeship period has great side effects, and long-term use will continue to increase the bottleneck, and it is almost impossible to break through to the innate realm.

But fortunately, the materials are all ordinary herbs, and the auxiliary effect of external power is also quite outstanding.

Zhao Kong asked Huang Yaoshi to train hundreds of alchemy apprentices, as long as he had the most basic Dan sense, and then cultivated a third-rate martial artist with true qi, it would not be difficult to become an alchemy apprentice for a few months.

Moreover, these alchemy apprentices only need to refine the elixir of Jingyuan Dan, even if they are stupid, if they repeat the operation for a long time, their level will always improve.

Even so, the Dragon Elephant Army, which maintains the strength of 20,000 third-rate warriors, is already the upper limit of Wu's national strength, and even Zhao Kong subsidizes a lot of resources for this.

Coupled with a full set of heavy armor specially made for them, a giant Mo knife that was lengthened and weighted.

Once an army formation is formed, it is indeed easy to defeat the Jin army, which is more than ten times larger.

Zhao Kong nodded, and then looked at Deng Youlong, the head of the household.

Deng Youlong was originally an important member of Han Yanzhou's party, and after Han Yanzhou's death, Deng Youlong was also demoted to the border as an official.

Since Zhao Kong arose in Nanyang, Deng Youlong resigned as soon as possible and went to sea to join Zhao Kong.

Looking at the relationship between Deng Youlong and Zhao Yi, coupled with the fact that Wu was at the beginning of the state at that time, there was a serious lack of civil officials, so Zhao Kong entrusted him with important tasks.

As a result, a large number of officials of the main war faction who were depressed and suppressed in the Song State were attracted to go south.

It was precisely with the support of these officials that the administrative system of Wu State really worked.

"King Qiqi, since the king gave Shennong No. 1 rice six years ago, the southern islands have had a bumper harvest for three consecutive years, and the grain stored in various places can support the 200,000 army to continue fighting for four years, and if necessary, it can also be purchased from the people, and more than two million stone of grain and grass can be purchased in a short time."

Shennong No. 1 is a good seed bought by Zhao Kong from Wanjie Mall, which is especially suitable for the special environment of the islands in the South China Sea, and can also resist diseases and pests.

Although the fertilizer in this era cannot keep up, there are few people in Wu Guodi, and it can be alleviated by rotational farming, so the yield is quite amazing.

After Deng Youlong finished speaking, other officials stood up one after another to report.

Zhao Kong rarely cared about these things in the past, and his time was mainly spent on cultivation.

Zhao Kong, who has absolute confidence in his own strength, is unscrupulous in delegating power.

He really wished that Wu Guo could produce a prime minister like Cao Cao, so he could throw all government and military affairs to such a great talent.

This is also the tradition of the Shenzhou realm, there are top powerhouses in charge, and they have always been afraid of big people and ambitions, and they are afraid of mediocre people in high positions.

Hearing that, Zhao Kong became more and more satisfied, everything kept up with his plan, and even the development speed in some aspects was much faster.

It can be seen that there are very few officials from the Song State who have low ability.

It was purely because the emperor of the Song State could not suppress the civil officials, so that they fought for power and profit for a long time, and the internal struggle continued, and they were unable to go on the Northern Expedition.

Replaced by Zhao Kong, a king who can fly tens of thousands of miles a day to inspect, and can see through the officials at a glance that they are not lying, which official would dare not do his best seriously?

In addition, Zhao Kong himself is a generous person, not to mention the high salary and honesty.

even restored the fifth-level title of the prince and uncle, and all of them were sealed as anointed places!

For example, Yan Dong, Hu Xuan and other giant whale gang elders.

After taking all the islands in the South China Sea, they were given a large island with at least one county and suitable for cultivation and habitation.

Over the years, a large number of plantations were built with native people as slaves.

The Shennong No. 1 rice produced by these plantations alone made them rich quickly.

It can be said that in addition to the extremely strict laws of the Wu State, there is no Song State that cannot punish the doctor.

In other aspects, because of Zhao Kong's generosity, the civil and military officials were quite satisfied.

The military and political circles of Wu are basically in a state of vigorous progress.

After the civil and military officials finished reporting, Zhao Kong slapped the table and said loudly.

"Okay, everyone has done a good job in the past few years, continue to keep it up, after the autumn harvest this year, I will personally lead the troops to the north to destroy Jin, and all those who have meritorious service in this battle can be knighted and all of them are sealed!"
