When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Zheng was a little helpless, and suddenly paused, and turned his head to glance at Li Nan who was following.

"Li Nan, do you know a thing or two about the family that my mother told me before?"

"Hee...... My lord, the old slave just knows! I heard that the fiancée arranged by Mrs. for you is Mu Ningshi, the daughter of the lord of Anping City in Yunzhou, and the other party also agreed. Li Nan replied.

"Mu Ningshi, this name is elegant. Qin Zheng smiled.

"My lord, would you like to take a break in the afternoon?" asked Li Nan respectfully.

"No, you immediately sort out all the damage caused by the invasion of the Sea Clan yesterday and my Canglan City!" Qin Zheng commanded.

"Yes, the old slave will do it. ”

In the following time, Qin Zheng has been handling business in the conference hall.

After two hours, Qin Zheng put down a pile of reports, slapped the table heavily, and shouted angrily: "Sea Clan! mess with my people's hearts, disturb my homeland, in this life and this life, I, Qin Zheng, will not give up with you!"

The report compiled by Li Nan was very ugly, this invasion, Canglan City suffered more than 2,000 casualties, not to mention the more than 5,000 residents who were taken captive, all of them were young and vigorous young and strong laborers.

"My lord, not to mention the loss of population, the direct economic loss is at least hundreds of thousands of gold! You see, Zhenhai Shellfish Farm is the second largest industry in my Canglan City, and the exquisite mussels produced every year are harvested in this season, but now they have been looted by the Sea Clan, and this year's harvest will be all zero!" Li Nan sighed.

"Damn, the reason why the Sea Clan didn't attack our Canglan City this time is because they treat us as hens that lay eggs. Look at it, when the time is up next year, these guys will come back to loot, it's disgusting!"

Qin Zheng's face was full of anger, and his hatred was hard to dissipate.

Last year, the old city lord Qin Mang was still alive, and he was still able to suppress the Sea Clan. But as soon as Qin Mang died this year, the Sea Clan became completely active, making it clear that he didn't take Qin Zheng seriously.

"My lord, the crisis we are facing now is very serious, and the winter is about to pass. According to previous years, the gold obtained from the income of Zhenhai Shell Farm was used to purchase grain from other large cities in the interior. Thirty percent of the monthly income of the officials and agricultural craftsmen of the major institutions in the city, and the most important fifty percent were put into the military camp, the purchase of weapons, the payment of military salaries, and so on. ”

"This invasion of the Sea Clan, eight hundred armor soldiers were killed in battle, this is another huge pension, I am afraid that with the income of other industries this year, it will not be able to reach a balance at all!" Li Nan smiled bitterly.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if you want to raise a brave army, you need to consume a lot of money!" Qin Zheng muttered to himself, not to mention, his idea was far from so simple!

"In other words, my top priority now is to make money!" Qin Zheng's eyes were full of worries, racking his brains, thinking of ways to make money.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, and waved his big hand.

"Li Nan, Su Shaoqing, follow me. ”

Half an hour later, Qin Zheng's figure appeared on the streets of Canglan City.

He made a special disguise, so that no one could recognize his identity.

Along the way, seeing the situation in the city, Qin Zheng's heart has been very depressed, and his expression is very bitter. The situation in Canglan City was too bad, worse than he expected!

No wonder it is known as the weakest of the eight cities of Haizhou! The Sea Clan has attacked in a grand manner, with such a force, how can it resist?

The people's belief in the city and their submission to the Qin family were extremely insufficient. So much so that he couldn't get too much human emperor luck before, because the people here didn't think that the Qin family could protect them at all.

Now.

People's hearts, luck.

All miscalculated.

And I need these two things the most.

If the human emperor is determined to control the human race, if he can't seek happiness and stable survival for his fellow human beings, how can he make them surrender to him and willingly contribute the power of faith to himself?

Li Nan and Su Shaoqing followed Qin Zheng around the city, only to see the city lord with a bitter face and keep shaking his head.

Li Nan was curious: "My lord, what do you have to do on this trip?"

"Li Nan, what other industries in our city are the most economically profitable besides the exquisite mussels produced by Zhenhai Shell Farm?" Qin Zheng asked.

He knows that the exquisite mussel is a kind of marine spiritual object, not only the mussel meat is delicious, it is a table delicacy that many princes and nobles like, and the exquisite mussel can secrete a kind of exquisite pearl, which can be used as one of the materials for cherishing the elixir after grinding, which is very popular and practical.

In addition, the canal extends in all directions, and all kinds of metal ores can be transported, so metallurgical iron and forging weapons in the city are the first major industries. And the Heavenly Craftsman Pavilion in the city is the leader of this industry. Li Nan 1510 said.

Speaking of which, my subordinates don't know whether to say something or not. Su Shaoqing suddenly interjected.

"Oh, General Su, what do you have to say, just say it!" Qin Zheng smiled, he could feel that Su Shaoqing was very loyal to him and intended to cultivate him.

A good general must not only be brave and extraordinary, but also knowledgeable, courageous, and knowledgeable.

"My lord, the Heavenly Craftsman Pavilion has set up an ordnance department in our Canglan City for ten years, but in the past ten years, they have been famous, and the taxes are all paid according to the minimum in the city. However, in the past ten years, the metallurgical iron-making technology and industry of Canglan City have been expanding, and a large number of excellent weapons have been sold inland one after another, obtaining a lot of profits. So I think it's time to increase the tax on Tianjiang Pavilion and even all stores in the city!"

"No way!"

Li Nan immediately shook his head in denial, and said hurriedly: "Back then, the old city lord hinted at raising taxes, but the Heavenly Craftsman Pavilion sent three immeasurable realm powerhouses from the headquarters the next day to sit in Canglan City. Inevitably, the relationship with the Heavenly Craftsman Pavilion will break down, and there will be a fight, and the old city lord will not mention the matter of increasing taxes in the future! If you talk about it now, I am afraid that you will be strongly opposed by the Heavenly Craftsman Pavilion, and even attract the opposition of other shops, and even an even greater disaster will erupt!"

Li Nan said in shock, Qin Zheng understood the meaning of his words.

"Li Nan is right, Canglan City is now the weakest of the eight cities, and the Qin family has no strength to lead at all, if a conflict breaks out with the forces in the city, it will inevitably affect the overall situation!

Qin Zheng couldn't help but pouted fiercely.

"My lord, it's useless to be lowly and useless. Su Shaoqing couldn't help blushing and blamed herself.

"I don't blame you, this is a problem I have to face, and it should be solved by me!" Qin Zheng flashed coldly.

"Li Nan, Su Shaoqing, let me ask you, do you know about the Dragon Slaying Pool?"

After walking a few steps, Qin Zheng walked straight out of the city, and suddenly spoke to the two of them and asked.

"Dragon Slaying Pool?" Li Nan and Su Shaoqing tightened their brows at the same time, thought hard for a while, and shook their heads in shame.

"My lord, I have never heard of this name. ”

"Sure enough...... In front of me is Meishan, General Su, you and Li Nan come with me. Qin Zheng shouted, got up, and rushed towards Meishan.

Meishan is a big mountain three miles away in the suburbs of Canglan City, which is not famous, but it is also beautiful.

Qin Zheng went straight to the top of Meishan Mountain, and after a while, the three of them stopped and had reached the peak of Meishan.

Li Nan was just a mortal cultivator, and he ran for a while, although he had Su Shaoqing's help, he was still out of breath.

"Li Nan, give me some time, and I will help you break through the True Yuan Realm cultivation!"

Qin Zheng smiled, his tone confident.

If others heard it, I am afraid they would scoff at it, Qin Zheng himself is only a cultivator, and he actually dares to say that he helped an old man to enter the True Yuan Realm from the mortal realm?

"Ah, sir...... This...... The old slave thanks you for your kindness, and you will never give up!" Li Nan was shocked instantly, knelt down and kowtowed.

Break through the mortal realm!

Li Nan never dreamed that he would have such a day.

"It's okay! You have served my Qin family for many years, and you have worked hard, and you deserve it. ”

Qin Zheng looked at Su Shaoqing again, and saw that he had a fiery face, and seemed to be quite excited, and looked straight at himself.

Looking at each other, Qin Zheng said leisurely: "General Su, let me ask you, have you ever regretted serving me as the master?"

"The life of the humble duty was saved by the old city lord, the Qin family treated me more favorably than the mountain, even if Su Mou is for the sake of the lord, you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, what are you afraid of?"

Su Shaoqing brushed it and knelt down.

"Haha, okay, it's really a hot-blooded man! Listen, as long as you are loyal to me, what I can give you will be beyond your imagination! Strength, wealth, a qiē!"

"Thank you, sir!" said Su Shaoqing solemnly, without doubting Qin Zheng's promise.

Although in his heart, he felt that Qin Zheng seemed to have changed a lot compared to the past, but he had an intuition that made him believe that he was not following the wrong person.

Qin Zheng nodded in satisfaction and looked up into the distance, his memory and thoughts fluctuating.

Slay the Dragon Pool!

"If that's right, this will be the place where I will rise!"

Qin Zheng glanced at the top of Meishan Mountain, the surrounding environment was beautiful and the scenery was pleasant, but because the Hai Clan had just invaded, not many tourists dared to come to this mountain.

"Li Nan, Su Shaoqing, go to the monks of Meishan Monastery and ask them, is there a spring pond here?"

"Quanchi, my lord, are you talking about Longyuan Spring? Su Shaoqing said.

"Lead the way!" Qin Zheng shouted.

Bypassing the winding mountain road and passing through a large area of dense forest, Su Shaoqing stopped with Qin Zheng.

"My lord, there is the Dragon Source in front of you. But...... This place is extremely strange, and it is said that there are monsters in the spring pond. My lord, stand back and let the lowly go and check it out. ”

"No need, you come with me!" Qin Zhengshen tightened and walked over.

I saw a clear spring pool in front of me, the spring pool sticks to the mountain wall from the gap between the spews out of the cold spring water, the pool is cold and cold, the pool is full of unknown exotic flowers and plants.

"Longyuan Spring, the top of Meishan Mountain, it seems that the things in the pool have not been discovered, so the name has not been changed. Haha, God really help me!" Qin Zheng couldn't help but feel hot.

Looking back, Zhenyuan condensed his eyes and saw Su Shaoqing's anger soaring into the sky, and the faint blood and qi around his body were rolling, and he was vicious.

Qin Zheng smiled and said in a deep voice: "General Su, can I borrow your blood?"

"My lord smiled, why not. Su Shaoqing frowned, took out the knife, looked at Qin Zheng, and said calmly: "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

"Very good, Li Nan, you pour out the wine in the wine gourd and fill it with blood for General Su. ”

Li Nan did so, and then Su Shaoqing separated a knife on his wrist, and the blood dripped into the wine gourd, and soon, a small gourd was full.

"My lord, what are you going to do next?" handing the gourd full of his own blood to Qin Zheng, Su Shaoqing did not have a trace of paleness on his face, he was still powerful, and he was really a hero!

However, both he and Li Nan were a little uneasy, staring at Qin Zheng with curious eyes.

"Hehe, you don't have to be afraid, just watch a good show below!"

Qin Zheng smiled leisurely, took the blood gourd, and walked along the Dragon Source Spring, the footwork under his feet was slightly peculiar, as if he was measuring something and positioning a certain law.

Then, Qin Zhengshen was solemn, stretched out one hand and swiped in the void, and the silk true yuan floated, and suddenly, it turned into thousands of stars, covering the space.

The position where the three of them were standing instantly seemed to be dark, and countless stars appeared around Qin Zheng's body, which was very mysterious.

"Heaven and earth, moon and stars!"

"Seven Kills and Dragon Slaying Bureau, Five-Star Ranks!"

"Transform!"

Qin Zheng shouted, his divine brilliance was shining, and he sprinkled the blood in the gourd to the ground.

Blood spilled and dripped into the dirt.

In all directions of the spring pool, the ground cracked open, and blood penetrated and seeped into the spring pool. Weirdly, in the entire Longyuan Spring Pool, the spring water is all dyed red, and it is strange and impermanent.

Li Nan was sluggish......

Su Shaoqing was shocked and shouted: "Star Dou Divine Technique, worthy of the Formation Dao!"

He immediately twisted his arm hard to make sure it wasn't a dream.

"Star Dou Divine Technique, it's really Star Dou Divine Technique! It's just ...... When did you learn this thaumaturgy?" Su Shaoqing was shocked.

Qin Zheng heard the voice, looked back at Su Shaoqing, and said with a smile: "General Su, good eyesight!"

The gourd in his hand continued to drip blood, but Qin Zheng's footsteps were very regular, and it seemed that according to the trajectory of the thousands of stars in the space, the blood was dripping to the right place.

Gradually, beads of sweat poured out on Qin Zheng's forehead, and the whole person became extremely dignified, and his eyes were red.

Li Nan came back to his senses and said worriedly, "What are you doing, my lord?"

"I don't know, but I have a hunch that once it's done, it will be earth-shattering!" Su Shaoqing was excited, and his eyes were hot.

Rumble!

Bang!

As the last drop of blood in the gourd in Qin Zheng's hand fell to the ground, he pounced on him suddenly.

"Stand back!"

The three of them retreated and stood ten zhang away from the Longyuan Spring Pool, Li Nan couldn't help but shiver, feeling that the temperature was even colder.

Looking at Qin Zheng again, his eyes shè jing, slightly excited.

In front of him, the wind howled, and the entire Longyuan Spring Pool shattered, and the spring water was controlled by some kind of force, and all of it leaked out, burrowing into the cracked ground.

After a while, the Dragon Source Spring Pool disappeared.

Instead, a huge hole appeared in front of everyone.

A majestic and heavy coercion seemed to tear through the void and poured out of the dark pit.

Blood light emerges, enveloping the space, thousands of stars, and disappearing.

The scene returned to calm, but Li Nan and Su Shaoqing were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

The two of them trembled and looked at Qin Zheng in amazement.

"Big ...... My lord, this hole?"

"Do you know why the spring water of this dragon source is so cold, and why there are rumors of demon beasts appearing here?"

"No...... I don't know, please let me know!" Su Shaoqing asked in a trembling voice.

"Seven Kills and Dragon Slaying Bureau, here, there was once a strong man of the human race...... Slaughter...... Pass...... Dragon!" Qin Zheng was word-by-word!

"What!"

Li Nan and Su Shaoqing were shocked at the same time, and screamed silently.

"Dragon Tomb! Yes, this pit is a dragon tomb!"

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up.;
