Chapter 422: Spit and Go Again (Two Chapters in One)
Although the imperial court sailors stepped up their speed, the [Heavenly Alliance] water bandits had Qiu Ping's secret help, and they had been wandering south.
In just a few days, it went straight to Yunzhou in the south along the Xunshui.
Along the way, their momentum became more and more grand.
And the more this is the case, the more urgent the imperial court's urging to suppress the bandit sailors, if it continues like this, the imperial court's control over Cao Yun will completely collapse.
"Go ask the gang of Qianjiang Jiao...... They still have something to eat. ”
After these years of wandering on the water, the young man had long since lost his handsome appearance, not only did he have a scruffy beard, but his eyes were sunken, and he looked like a refugee.
"It's long gone, and they're still resentful of us."
The sturdy man is no longer strong at the moment, and he looks so hungry that he looks skinny.
He glanced back at the boat of Qianjiang Jiao and said in a low voice.
"I'm your whole family, you have to drag us into the water, Lao Tzu is your eighth ancestor!"
Faintly, you can hear the angry scolding of the people in Qianjiang Jiao.
They are called wronged.
I thought I could take refuge in a good background, but who would have thought that this group of people would have been mud bodhisattvas for a long time.
They followed behind [for the Heavenly Alliance], but found that they could not go ashore, and as the dry food they carried was eaten, they could only eat some rough grain raw every day.
The ghost knows which gods these people have offended, and such a strange thing has happened.
Hearing the dirty words that followed more than ugly, the young man's face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't wait to step forward and tear the mouths of this group of people.
But now, everyone's emotions are on the verge of collapse.
Neither he used gold or silver nor painted bread, but he could not arouse the popularity of the people.
He did not dare to attack at this time, lest he cause infighting among his own people.
"Could it be that God is really going to kill me?"
His gaze was a little straight and flowing in the distance, but he felt a little disgusted when he saw the water.
If he had to choose, he would rather go ashore and never touch the water again.
"Former ...... What's the place ahead? ”
As they continued to move south, the surrounding scenery was now completely different from the north, and the surrounding vegetation was flourishing, but they saw a huge dock not far ahead.
About thirty or fifty large ships were moored nearby, and countless coolies and slender men were busy.
Not far from the shore, there is a government office with considerable regulations.
"It's the Governor's Caoyun Department, let's go down the river and reach the end of this river."
There were not many literate people among the bandits, only the young man recognized the name hanging on the government of Nafu.
Seeing this yamen, his face was sad and joyful, and if he went further, could it be that they were going to enter the Lingjiang River in Yunzhou?
What a time this is the day?
"The water bandits are coming, run!"
This is the starting point of the Xunshui water, and it is also the place where several waterways converge, and the southern states of the water transport eventually converge here, and then go north along the Caohe River to the north to enter the imperial capital.
At this time, everyone was unloading and loading the goods, but when they saw a large bamboo raft coming from the north, combined with the recent rumors, they immediately panicked.
They didn't expect that this group of water bandits who were active in Qingzhou would come to the south so soon.
The crowd dispersed in a hurry, and the inspectors in the governor's caoyun yamen did not dare to come forward, but were just on guard, and once the enemy came ashore, they would ...... Just run away.
After all, Caoyun Yamen has no army, there are only a few hundred people up and down, and there are no weapons and armor, so he has to fight with so many bandits.
"Boom."
Just as everyone was fleeing wantonly, all of a sudden, a thunderclap sounded out of thin air in the sky, and it exploded directly in the middle of the [Heavenly Alliance] fleet.
The water bandits' bodies were numb, their bodies were stiff, they couldn't move, and they were loaded into the river one after another.
The movement here not only scared the water bandits of the [Heavenly Alliance] half to death, but even the crowd on the shore was stunned.
This is so good, why is it still thunderstruck.
But they quickly reacted that such a strange scene must not be a human so-called, it must be a fairy apparition.
"Boom."
A thunderbolt fell, blowing up the water bandits on their backs, but in the blink of an eye, a piece of water floated.
Qiu Ping hid in the shadows, holding a ball of thunder in his hand, and threw it casually.
"Boom."
This thunder exploded on the bamboo raft at the young man's feet, and the other party was directly unstable and staggered into the water.
These thunderbolts are Qiu Ping's part-time job in the Thunder Department, and the power is very weak, and in non-thunderstorm weather, these thunderbolts can't even kill slightly stronger mortals, and can only shake people over.
But at this moment, it is just right to use it to fill the cup, and his two supernatural powers of time and space are strong, but the hand is silent, mysterious and mysterious, and mortals can't understand the mystery.
Soon, the two groups of water bandits [for Tianmeng] and [Qianjiang Jiao] were all paralyzed and fell into the water.
Due to being witnessed by countless people at the scene, Qiu Ping's feeling of being suppressed by the pent-up resentment in the past few days was instantly swept away, and many people felt gratitude and recognition in their hearts.
All of these turned into divine fire fuel, which caused the divine fire to rise to the sky in an instant, directly burning away all the resentment qi.
If there is a great supernatural person here, he can find that the invisible divine fire burning around him, as high as a hundred feet, bright as a bright flame, has turned from orange at the beginning to blazing white, and burns back along the resentment that overcame it.
He made a big vow a few days ago to protect the thirteen rivers of Caoyun.
Due to the ineffective suppression of bandits in the imperial court, I don't know how many people have prayed to him in the past few days, hoping that he can take action to protect Caohe.
Now that Qiu Ping has made a move, all these thoughts of gratitude have been absorbed by him, further intensifying the burning of the divine fire.
With such a powerful divine fire, Qiu Ping felt that even if he went to attack the mansion, he could use the divine fire to block his resentment.
Of course, he's not that stupid to do such a hard thing.
"Hahaha, it's not in vain that I've been taking care of it diligently these days."
Qiu Ping held back for a long time, isn't it just to wait for this moment.
Others are worried that they may lose their minds by spreading their beliefs on a large scale, but he is not afraid, no matter how much these positive wishes are, they are just fuel for the divine fire.
After the fish was fried, he reached out and grabbed the young man in his hand, and directly imprisoned him with a piece of space.
The second goal of his trip was to catch the reincarnation of this [Lian Zhen Star], but he didn't bother to care about the lives and deaths of others.
These water bandits have fallen into the grass, and there is no clean one under them, and even if they drown, they will be judged by the Netherworld.
……
Qiu Ping returned to Xunshui Tongzhi Yamen, he sealed the reincarnation of the [Lian Zhen Xing] behind a treasure orb, and then ordered someone to send it to the capital city of the imperial capital, the Yamen.
He now plans to strike while the iron is hot, let the divine fire burn further, and sweep away the resentment that has accumulated so far, and he will not be able to spare time to report to the King of Mingling.
"Hula."
The invisible divine fire had increased several times at this moment, reaching close to five hundred zhang, and burned along the resentment in the sky.
Because Qiu Ping is now wantonly manifesting saints, and secretly casting spells to manipulate the affairs of the world, causing chaos in the Caohe system.
The gods felt the terrifying resentment of the outside world, let alone going out, and they all wanted to shrink their heads into their bodies.
They didn't expect that this newly appointed Hebo would dare to play so big, even if Dijing ended, I am afraid it would be difficult to clean up the situation.
But just as they were complaining secretly, an invisible and dangerous flame swept directly through the void.
When encountering this flame, those grievances were like catkins in spring, which were quickly burned out.
And the flames seemed to be getting more and more fierce, and they split up towards the thirteen Cao rivers, and the resentment that should have been relieved by the gods could not hold a breath in front of this flame.
"What kind of power is that? How terrible it is? ”
The gods directly under the control of the emperor all have the divine power to dissipate resentment, but in front of this divine fire, their level is like the light of fireflies.
And as Qiu Ping's divine fire burned more and more, a black orb flew out from the top of his head, and in the dark, it seemed to be combined with this divine fire?
Qiu Ping was shocked in his heart, this divine fire represented the spark of the collision of faith and willingness, and this jewel was his divine authority, and the two were combined......
Isn't it similar to the fusion of the godhead and the divine fire, which is the way to become a god in that world.
Could it be that these two will merge together and evolve into the kingdom of God?
If this is the case, although the power of this divine kingdom is more powerful, the connection with the deity itself will be even more fragile.
If you don't see it, the authority of the gods in that world is like a joke, and if you rob his godhead today, you can openly claim that it is such and such a god. Tomorrow you will break my kingdom, and you will have my authority.
Qiu Ping hesitated, but soon relieved himself and let the two blend.
Anyway, the source of his strength is the two realms of time and space, and he doesn't care about the authority of this Bashui Hebo at all.
On the contrary, the connection with oneself has weakened...... That's not a good thing, and the pressure of the Heavenly Dao has become less.
In this way, this Shinto authority is like a foreign tool that can be used by everyone.
I just don't know if King Mingling will make trouble for himself later?
But Qiu Ping didn't bother to think about it, the big deal was to be dismissed, and I didn't even bother to do this kind of pickled work.
As Little Loach's strength grew, he didn't attach so much importance to Shinto's official position.
The divine fire instantly flew into the orb that symbolized the authority of Bashui Hebo, and as soon as the flames burned, all those powers melted, but a space that was almost empty appeared inside.
In the blink of an eye, the phantom of a river appeared in the space, and at the end of the river, thirteen branches of the Cao River were connected.
It is as if the great rivers of the dynasty have been shrunk and placed here.
The divine fire suddenly condensed, turning into a faint point of light, suspended inside the orb, like a small sun, shining in all directions, but suddenly making this space full of agility.
"It does have a bit of the meaning of the kingdom of God, and this space of internal evolution can filter the miscellaneous qi of the outside world. However, it is not possible to absorb the believers like the kingdom of God, so that the believers can become supplicants and live here forever. ”
Qiu Ping stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the orb fell into his hand.
This is also normal, this orb was not refined by him alone, it is essentially part of the entire Shinto system.
If he can contain the believers, then he is tantamount to an uncontrolled Shinto warlord, and the entire Shinto system will not tolerate it.
As for the divine fire in the orb, although it seems to have become very small, in fact, the space inside the orb is comparable to a city, and the divine fire is still hundreds of zhang high, and with the help of the orb space, the divine fire is completely stabilized.
Flame size will not be reduced due to the decrease in external willpower.
Any resentment that rises from the outside world will be burned by the divine fire in the orb. And under the power of the divine fire, unless it is a resentful aura born from facing the imperial court, there will be no trace left.
"Very good, now I see who else dares to blow up my hair in the entire Caoyun system."
Qiu Ping slapped the orb on top, and the orb sank into his body.
He was also in a good mood, and the resentment of the whole Cao Yun could no longer affect him, as if he had gone to a sword of Damocles hanging on the top.
Without these constraints, he can do things freely, and his ability to interfere in human affairs is greatly increased.
"Then next, we have to arrange for the court to make a move."
With the help of water bandits, Qiu Ping almost destroyed the Xunhe banknote system, but this was not his purpose.
This money pass must be established in the future, otherwise the imperial court will not be able to collect taxes, and the Cao River will be silted up in the future, so we can't always let the gods clean it up.
Moreover, the tariffs of Caoyun are a very important part of the imperial court's finances, and without these revenues, in case the imperial court burps and smokes everywhere, the cause and effect behind this must be counted on his head.
What he wanted was to show his power and let the court know that he had the ability to interfere with the world and not be harmed.
In this way, a mechanism was established for the gods to supervise the imperial court.
The gods do not need the money of the world, and there is no conflict of interest with the imperial court, but they help the imperial court to supervise the Cao Yun, which can effectively avoid official corruption, so as to ensure the smooth flow of the Cao Yun and produce positive benefits.
It was a win-win situation for the gods and the court.
If you want to say who suffers, it is naturally the head snake of the money customs in various places and the big businessmen who colluded with officials and businessmen behind it.
The former cannot use the banknote level to make a lot of money, while the latter cannot use the banknote level to jam the neck of competitors and suppress the opponent by illegal means.
But Qiu Ping still wants these people to die.
The collusion of these officials and businessmen and the expansion of their power will squeeze the living space of ordinary people and middle- and low-level merchants.
As for who to cooperate, he had no other choice, and in the imperial court, there was only that Jing Xinghuai.
Although Jing Xinghuai disappointed Qiu Ping a little last time, in general, this person is still determined to reform and is consistent with his own interests.
After figuring out this joint, he flicked his sleeves, his body rolled up the wind and waves, and walked all the way to Bashui along Xunshui.
On the way, he also met the imperial court sailor.
It's just that the speed of this team is too slow, and the gang of water bandits have been solved by themselves, and they are still hanging around the Qingzhou territory.
"Huh."
Qiu Ping spat out disdainfully, what a bunch of waste wood.
He was in charge of Caoyun, and even if he spit out casually, he set off a storm.
The imperial sailors were already having a hard time, but they were suddenly hit by a wave, and the fleet swayed in place, and many people did not check for a while and turned over on the deck.
Qiu Ping was far away, and he could hear the impotent rage of the ship's scolding.
