Chapter 90: King Zhou's Difficulties (First Update)
Zhou Jian, as the crown prince, was in the sea dusk, which was equivalent to the vassal king, and he faced the threat of the demon beasts in the sea, and he was almost waiting to die.
All this is the wish of King Zhou and Zhou Zheng. He added a ninth-layer monk during the foundation building period, Hua Ping, the deputy commander of the guards in the official palace, and Zhou Jian, the guard of Chen Ding, whose strength was even more unfathomable, naturally it was impossible to be just a simple guard.
On the one hand, he restrained Zhou Jian and trapped Zhou Jian to death in the sea dusk, and he couldn't take a step out of the sea dusk realm. On the other hand, there is also the responsibility of monitoring Zhou Jian.
Zhou Jianyi killed the county commander Wei Xiang, Xu He, and controlled the government. Hua Ping and Chen Ding naturally used means to use the Messenger Flying Sword to notify the King of Zhou in the Zhou capital.
Transmit the flying sword, as fast as a streamer. Only monks above the foundation building period can use it, and the higher the cultivation, the faster the speed.
It was enough to reach Zhoudu from Haidu, and it only took a few hours for Huaping and the flying sword used by Chen Ding to transmit the message.
There is a flying sword to transmit messages, and naturally there is a yamen that specializes in receiving flying sword messages, and this yamen is directly under Shangshutai, which is a huge beacon tower set up near the imperial palace in the center of the city.
The beacon tower is cyan, and there is a small tower in the center, and at the top of the tower is a round bead, also cyan, which is flickering at the moment. This is like a magnet, and the messenger flying sword that flies by special means will come here.
At this moment, on the beacon tower, there are not only armor guards, but also special officials, receiving flying sword messages from everywhere.
"Hey, there's news again?" The official saw that the cyan beads were glowing, and he exclaimed, a little strange.
Those who can use the Messenger Flying Sword are all monks in the Foundation Building Period, and such characters are top-notch in the entire Great Zhou. Usually when you receive a message here, it means that something big has happened.
Soon after, a faint light flashed, and the armor soldiers and officials on the beacon tower only felt a flower in front of them, and saw a small flying sword more than a foot long appeared near the cyan beads, with a faint light, while circling around the cyan beads, and a piece of white jade was tied to it.
"It's the flying sword of the Flower Commander again, what happened to Haidusk City?" After the official saw this flying sword, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise.
Huaping is in the sea dusk, and there will be no major events over there except for the demon beast attacking the city, which is equivalent to the peace of Zhou Guo, which naturally makes the officials breathe a sigh of relief. What is surprising is that Hua Ping has already had a flying sword coming over three days ago, why did he come again?
was surprised in his heart, but the official did not slack off, but carefully pinched a law decision and played a special true element.
"Ding. Zhen Yuan came into contact with the flying sword, and suddenly the light on the flying sword's body dimmed, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
In this way, the official bent down and picked up the flying sword and jade slip, hurriedly got off the beacon tower, and went to the palace. Soon after, this jade slip appeared on Zhou Zheng's Wang case.
The palace is still the same, the palace is full of palaces, and it is rich and powerful. The departure of Zhou Jianyi's prisoners did not change much in the palace.
Dexiang Palace, inside the study. Zhou Zhengzheng was kneeling on the throne, and there was a flying sword and a jade slip on the royal case in front of him. Next to Zhou Zheng, Manager Chen stood quietly. There was an official standing below, who was the messenger officer guarding the beacon.
Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment before waving his hand and saying to the official, "You go back first." ”
"No. The official said yes and immediately turned away.
After the official left, Zhou Zheng reached out and picked up the jade slip, and did not immediately scan it with divine thoughts, but first scrubbed it on his hand for a moment, and then sneered: "When Hua Ping left, Gu did explain that Hua Ping was monitoring Zhou Jian, but it was not necessary to report it from time to time. Unless something big happens. And three days ago, Hua Ping just came with the news that Zhou Jian was going to kill Wei Xiang, Xu He. Three days later, another message came that this thief was used to making waves. ”
"Even if you make waves, you are afraid that you will not escape death. Manager Chen bowed to Zhou Zheng and said. He is also the same, his old eyes are dizzy, and his shape is like a withered tree, but he gives people a lot of pressure.
"Ah, you can't escape death if you make waves. Zhou Zheng sneered when he heard this, and then his mind glanced over, and the next moment, the smile on Zhou Zheng's face froze, and he subconsciously exerted his hands.
With a "click", the jade slip was made of special materials, which was very strong, but at this moment, it was shattered in Zhou Zheng's hands.
"Your Majesty, is this?" saw a flash of surprise in Chief Chen's eyes and asked.
Hua Ping said that because this thief killed Wei Xiang, Xu He won the hearts of the people in the city, like a hegemon, intimidating the audience. Then he took advantage of the situation to select middle-aged men with acceptable qualifications and established a city defense army, which was quite impressive. And they also call themselves lonely and widows, and call themselves widows. ”
When Zhou Zheng heard this, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes and said.
"The city defense army is just that, if Your Highness wants to live, you must establish a city defense army, which is expected, and it is common sense to call it a lonely widow. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is the king, it is divided into feudal kings, and they can all be called lonely and widowed, and they are princes. It is common for the crown prince to call himself a widow. But this is like a hegemon, deterring the audience, and it is also evaluated by Hua Ping himself, which has to be taken seriously. Manager Chen also became solemn when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice.
It was Huaping's evaluation that made Gu worried. You must know that Huaping is the cultivation of the ninth layer of the foundation building period, and its own power is extraordinary. In his heart, he was afraid that even Gu couldn't afford to be this overlord, but this thief had received such an evaluation from Hua Ping, afraid that things would change suddenly and something that shouldn't have happened. As he spoke, Zhou Zheng's face became more and more gloomy.
It's true that Hua Ping is the deputy commander of the guard, but the main identity is still a monk. Although the two sides are monarchs and ministers, Hua Ping is a person.
It's like that time Hua Ping helped Deng Guifei and protected Zhou Jian once. Zhou Zheng may not have absolute control over Huaping.
Anyway, in Zhou Zheng's opinion, Hua Ping may not regard him as a hegemon, but he said that Zhou Jian is a hegemon. This not only made Zhou Zheng feel the threat from Zhou Jian, but also made Zhou Zheng feel an unspeakable anger. I became more and more disgusted with Zhou Jian.
"What are the measures of Hua Ping?" After a while, Manager Chen adjusted his breath a little and asked in a deep voice.
Hua Ping meant that the thief would let him do whatever he wanted, but he and Chen Ding would not obey his orders, so as not to boost the thief's arrogance. With that, Zhou Zheng let go of his hand, and the fragment of the jade slip in his hand fell on the case, making a thump sound.
"Hmm. Manager Chen nodded in agreement when he heard this, this couldn't be better. If it is Chen Ding, Hua Ping will no longer be ordered, and with Zhou Jian's ability, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Haidu.
However, this time, Lone felt that he should not let this thief go, and he had to find a way to shrink the cage. Zhou Zheng also had another killer move, and said.
"How to shrink?" asked Mr. Chen a little strangely. This sea sunset is such a big place, how can it be reduced?
"Why does Haiyang City have a population of more than 100,000 people?" Zhou Zheng did not answer immediately, but said with a sneering smile.
"I see. Manager Chen's mind is extraordinary, and when he heard this, he immediately showed a sudden look, and nodded with a smile.
The Great Zhou State has a population of 60 million, and a large number of criminals are put into the sea dusk every year to fend for themselves. If this source is cut off, Zhou Jian will be tantamount to having no source of population.
In this way, the city of sea dusk will only have 8,000 city defense troops forever, and under a large number of demon beasts, what can it do?
This is the bottom of the kettle.
"Go ahead. Zhou Zheng was also satisfied with his plan, and said with a smile on his face.
"No. Manager Chen promised, owed, and walked out immediately.
After Manager Chen left, Zhou Zheng stood up from the throne and came to the entrance of the study. After crossing the threshold, Zhou Zheng looked up at the sky, it was very sunny today, and the sky was empty, and there were no clouds. Zhou Zheng's heart was smooth and quite complacent.
"No matter how much you jump, you can't jump out of the cage set up for you, so die obediently. ”
