Early morning of April 24, 2018

With a rumbling sound, a corner of the west of the Golden Jade City, under the tall city wall, a lifelike fairy stone carving rises from the ground, the fairy holds a porcelain vase, the starry eyes are half-closed, although it is only a gray stone statue, it looks lifelike, full of dynamics, and the pedestrians passing by around are surprised to see it, and stop to watch.

At the same time, in the east, south and north of the Golden Jade City, fairy stone carvings with different postures rise from the ground, attracting many eyes.

In the morning, when the sun becomes more and more dazzling, more and more fairy statues appear in various parts of the city, as if a fine network has been spread out in the city, connecting all the regions together.

And when people were curiously discussing what the meaning of these fairy statues was, their moods and thoughts had been quietly collected by these fairy statues and gathered in the dark and invisible.

At this point, the [unity of all hearts] of Jinyu City has begun to take shape. Although the collection efficiency is still relatively low, and the upper limit of the wish power is not more than 100,000 people, the statue can collect the wish power normally, which means that the framework of this array has been completed. And in just one night, such a large-scale formation can be completed in the framework, and the ability of the interim government to execute can be described as amazing.

Even in Zhao Shenlu's era, Jin Yucheng's execution was nothing more than that.

Of course, this is not Zhao Hongwu and others who are wise and martial, and the charisma of the leader is comparable to Zhao Shenlu, but it is really that these members of the provisional government have been forced to a dead end.

From the 18th, Zhao Lingbo suddenly launched the Jinyu Seventeen Consecutive Locks to suppress Zhao Shenlu until now, a week has passed, and the Seventeen Consecutive Locks Changing Locks under the City Lord's Mansion have indeed shown frightening signs such as slow operation and leakage of the true yuan. And the woman who was suppressed in the formation often let out a terrifying laugh, as if the Flood Demon could break out at any time.

There is not much time left for Zhao Hongwu and the others, even if there are countless old experts in Jinyucheng patting their chests and guaranteeing that they can at least trap Zhao Shenlu for more than ten days by changing the locks, but looking at the increasingly shaky formation, thinking of Zhao Shenlu's glorious achievements in the past, in the face of this threat that can be called a catastrophe, Zhao Hongwu and the others are still sleepless day and night, and they can't help but show unprecedented energy.

At noon on the 24th, the main structure of [All Hearts and One Heart] was completed, and the three hundred and seventy fairy statues arranged in the city, under the control of Zhao Hongwu's primordial spirit, began to oscillate slightly according to the common frequency, shaking the weak wish power stained on the statue like snow in the treetops, and then converged in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

After about a cup of tea, a colorful light bloomed in Zhao Hongwu's palm.

"It worked!"

The attendants around couldn't help but cheer.

Zhao Hongwu also looked pleased: "It is indeed done, the results of the trial operation are even better than expected, perhaps it is because the wind and rain in Jinyucheng are smooth, the people are united, and the collection efficiency of the will force is fifty percent higher than the standard value on the array map." ”

"Congratulations, Lord Castle! Now we can definitely suppress the demon girl. ”

Zhao Hongwu nodded: "I hope so." ”

Beside him, Zhao Hongwen, who was a brother, frowned: "It's too smooth, but I feel that there is a problem, that Zhao Xinyu, do you really trust him?" ”

"How can you trust him, but what can you do now but trust him?" Zhao Hongwu smiled bitterly, "From the very beginning, we were in a desperate situation, even if it was a straw, we had to grasp it hard...... By the way, since you say so, what is the result of the stalking? ”

"I don't see a problem." Zhao Hongwen shook his head, "I personally went over to see it, and he stayed in the room of the Chengdong Restaurant all the time and didn't go out...... Unless his level of illusion is far above mine, at least this day's performance, he is innocent. However, I always feel that this kind of invisibility is precisely the biggest doubt. A person who suddenly jumped out and claimed to be Zhao Shenlu's ex-husband, there is no suspicion on him, don't you think this is very unbelievable in itself? ”

"Speaking of the unbelievable, ten days ago, if someone told you that I was suppressed by Zhao Shenlu by his own formation under the City Lord's Mansion, and you and I could stand here and take charge of the Golden Jade City, it would be unbelievable." Zhao Hongwu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'll tell you the truth, I just got a lifetime membership card in Zuiyue Building at the beginning of this month, and I spent a lot of money, I thought it would be a long-term canteen for the next 20 years, but it turned out to be ...... In short, the membership card is not used, and there is no time to return the card these days. ”

Zhao Hongwen said: "After that, whether it succeeds or not, it is impossible for us to return to the original days, but things have developed to this point, almost every step is unexpected, first Zhao Lingbo suddenly got up and launched seventeen consecutive locks to suppress Zhao Shenlu, and then the Holy Sect and the major families did not interfere in our coup, and then Zhao Xinyu came out, we are nominally the coup leader, but in fact, we are drifting with the tide every step of the way, and we can't help ourselves...... Don't you think it's like dancing on the edge of a cliff? ”

Zhao Hongwu said: "Of course, every step I take now is like walking on thin ice. But don't you think that's the way to get it? Born as a member of the Zhao family, how can he be mediocre and unremarkable all his life. Do you really like the drunken days of the past few years? Now, even if it's just a temporary illusion, even if the demon girl breaks out of the formation in a few days and wipes all of us in a net, but at least now, I can stand in the City Lord's Mansion and overlook these two million people, control countless massive resources, and complete the Great Array of Flood and Desolation [All Hearts and Minds] overnight, even if it is only one day, such a day is better than twenty years of inaction. ”

"That's why you listened to Zhao Lingbo's instigation to be this leader? You......" Zhao Hongwen sighed, "You haven't considered Zhao Lingbo's problem?" She has been Zhao Shenlu's loyal dog for so many years, and she suddenly bit back, even if it can be interpreted as an outbreak of resentment for many years, it can also be explained as ......"

"I know there are many explanations that can be made, but does that matter? She suppressed Zhao Shenlu with her own hands, and we witnessed it with our own eyes. With Zhao Shenlu's demon girl's temperament, even if it is acting, is it possible to let his maids step on his head...... Of course, it may also be that the demon girl's temperament suddenly changed drastically, and she did not hesitate to spoil herself to wash everyone in the world. But if we want to endlessly speculate about the possibilities, we don't want to do anything. Zhao Hongwu said, "If you really can't rest assured, cherish every minute and every second in front of you, such as ......."

As he spoke, Zhao Hongwu beckoned and took out a silver wine jug from the storage bag.

Zhao Hongwen glanced at it, and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Wuxiang Immortal Brew!?" ”

"Haha, it's the gift that the director of the Wuxiang Sword Academy brought when he visited Zhao Shenlu five years ago. This wine is the supreme wine brewed by the legendary sword immortal himself two hundred years ago, and it even caused many great monks to scramble and even fight at that time. And such immortal brew, after more than two hundred years of precipitation, is now an out-and-out value, the entire Xiangzhou continent, the only remaining Wuxiang immortal brew does not exceed five pots, of which there are two pots of Wuxiang Sword Academy, two pots are kept by the Holy Sect Master, and the last pot is located here. ”

When it comes to this phaseless immortal brew, Zhao Hongwu is simply a treasure.

"At present, looking all over the Xiangzhou Continent, there are definitely no more than three kinds of wine that can be compared with this Wuxiang Immortal Brew, and there is no one with a two-hundred-year aging history, so when the Wuxiang Sword Academy gave this thing, it is said that it is difficult to give it up, and it was Zhao Shenlu who used very bad means to take it over. And she herself is not willing to enjoy much, for the past few years has been in the office display case, this pot of wine, now at least half of it is left. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongwu shook the wine jug, listened to the sound of the wine stirring, and said with a cruel smile: "And I, today, will drink it all away!" ”

Zhao Hongwen was silent for a while, and silently took out two wine glasses from the storage bag: "Big brother is wise." ”

"Hmph, after drinking this pot of Wuxiang Immortal Brew, as well as the Dark Moon Elixir and Psychic Fat, they are all treasures that Zhao Shenlu put in the exhibition cabinet to show off, and now that she is underground, these things are cheaper than the two of us, to be honest, just with these treasures, I feel that launching a coup d'état is already a sure win."

"That's right." Zhao Hongwen smiled and set the wine glass, and then waited for his brother to open the wine jug and pour out a stream of clear wine.

Then, Zhao Hongwen frowned: "Hmm? It's obviously the supreme in wine, but it doesn't smell like half of the wine, this ......"

Zhao Hongwu was also surprised: "It's indeed a little strange, but it may also be that Wuxiang Immortal Brew has gathered all the essence in the liquor, in short, taste it first." ”

After speaking, Zhao Hongwu picked up the wine glass, and after briefly clinking glasses with Zhao Hongwen, he raised his head and drank all the wine.

“…… Strange, there is no smell of alcohol at all. ”

"It's basically water, slightly salty?" Zhao Hongwen frowned, "Is this how the Wuxiang Immortal Brew should be?" ”

"I don't know, only a handful of people have drunk this kind of wine in the past two hundred years, and I haven't found any record of what it tastes like."

With strong doubts, the two brothers drank a few more glasses, and the more they drank, the more they felt that something was wrong.

"This is definitely not a bar?! No matter how special it is, at least it should smell like wine to be called wine, and this thing tastes weird even if it is drunk with water. Don't Zhao Shenlu store it improperly, it's already spoiled, right?! ”

"Spoiled? How does this immortal wine go bad? Theoretically, it won't deteriorate if stored for 10,000 years! ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hongwu poured out all the remaining immortal brew in the pot.

Only this time, in addition to the clear liquor, there is also an extra note.

With a strong sense of foreboding, Zhao Hongwu picked up the note.

"The person who saw this note, congratulations, without my permission, got the treasure in the display case, and as a reward, told the truth as follows: The Wuxiang Immortal Brew was drunk as soon as I got it, and the wine jug was bath water."

"Poof!" Zhao Hongwu sprayed it on the spot, but after thinking about it, if this was Zhao Shenlu's bath water......

The bath water of the world's first beauty seems to be ...... It's not that hard to accept.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw another note slip out of the flask.

There is also a simple line of words written on it.

"By the way, I asked my subordinates to bring the bath water from the public men's bathhouse in the east of the city, I hope you like it."

"Gross!"
