Deng Zhiyuan left Binxi that night, and the sect leader of the Fuyao Sect, Luo Xinran, and the elder of the Zixia Sect, Murong Di, also left, leaving the people in the palace in a panic.

Emperor Dayu Lin Hongzhi was completely disappointed with this group of monks who had just fought and razed several mountains.

This time the Demon Sect rebelled, causing the Great Yu Kingdom not only did not establish a defense line in the south, but lost the last chance to negotiate peace. If you want to invite these great monks with eyes above the top next time, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Lin Hongzhi had already greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of all the monks who came this time in his heart, but he also understood very well that this was just a manifestation of helplessness, what good would it do to the country?

So he is very upset now. The only way he could think of was to unite with the other three major countries in the north of the East Fuyao Continent, gather half of the forces of the East Fuyao Continent, and then build a defense line in the south to block the demon clan, but this was really the best strategy. Where is the strength of those great cultivators that ordinary people can compete with in numbers? is just a random supernatural power, and this side will suffer unimaginable losses.

He is very busy now, and he has to deal with all kinds of twists and turns of the officials below him all day long.

He wanted to recruit troops and horses to expand the army, and the head of the household department said that there were very few men in the local area, and the age limit should be lifted if it was expanded. So the people in the Ministry of Rites retorted that it was too cruel to solicit old and young men in accordance with the etiquette law.

When the country is in trouble, what etiquette does it matter? Lin Hongzhi was about to be angry with the people of the Ministry of Rites, and he wanted to get angry, but Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was still an important minister serving the two dynasties, and he couldn't say anything serious.

The people from the Finance Bureau said that there were too many troops, there were fewer people who farmed the land, and there was not enough food to eat, so they had to spend money to buy it from the big merchants who stocked up on grain. As a result, the merchants smelled this limelight and made more efforts to stock up on grain, and for a time the price of rice soared, and the common people could no longer afford to eat grain, which was another big problem.

Originally, stockpiling grain without permission was just a punishment, not a capital crime, but Lin Hongzhi was about to lose his mind at this time, and directly killed several big businessmen on the rich side, copied the house to subsidize the state, and also made an example for other businessmen not to follow suit.

But soon this matter was made a big fuss by people with intentions, saying that Lin Hongzhi's murder was not in accordance with the law, and he also wantonly collected rations and men.

Where do the people at the bottom know about politics, they only know that taxes and labor have increased significantly recently, so they are also under the control of public opinion, and the people are full of resentment for a while.

So this morning, a few scholars from the Hanlin Academy knelt under His Royal Highness Jinluan for two hours, asking their emperor to restore the Qingming Dynasty, make great efforts, and return the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. Lin Hongzhi was trembling with anger while sitting on the throne, and scolded: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you want me to work hard and protect the country, then you tell me what to do!" ”

A few scholars in the Hanlin Academy will only copy the words on the books, and usually make some vassal and elegant poems, but this time they kneel down and admonish just to have a good reputation in front of the world, where will they govern the country? They had no choice but to follow the words in the ancient books and say a lot of empty truths that were not realistic, and as a result, they were blasted out by the even more angry emperor.

Lin Hongzhi lost his temper and scolded directly at the civil and military officials in the early court: "You group of waste, what's the use of raising you!" ”

The officials were in a state of panic all day long.

High-ranking officials knew about Mo Long's escape, but they really didn't have a better way to protect the country. And the lower-level officials didn't even know about this major event in the world, and they were still speculating about how the former gentle and humble emperor had become such a violent appearance, and for a while the officials were panicked and the people's hearts were disheartened.

And the only thing that makes Lin Hongzhi feel relieved recently is that someone from Middle-earth has finally come to take care of things.

The person who came was an old man, named Lu Zijin, who belonged to Xuanwu Mountain, the holy land of soldiers in Middle Earth, and was a well-known figure in Middle Earth. Not to mention that he has nine realms of cultivation, what is even more powerful is his attainments in the art of war and vertical and horizontal arts, known as "the genius of the soldiers, the only one in the vertical and horizontal", which he earned by virtue of his years of experience in marching and transferring generals.

In that year, there was the last battle between the two major countries in Middle-earth, one of which was weak, this old ancestor of the military family used strategy to attack the heart, and repeatedly surprised the army, and dragged down the opponent's 70,000 elite soldiers with 5,000 soldiers and armor, and achieved a magnificent military story.

This time, Lin Hongzhi got the help of this old man, and it can be said that he finally had a little hope, but there were still a lot of rags waiting to be dealt with in the court in front of him. If it is not handled properly, not to mention that it will chill the heart of this ancestor of the military family, maybe the Dayu Kingdom will have civil strife before the invasion of the demon clan.

However, these major events in the world are naturally done by masters, and they can't fall on the head of Xu Huaigu, who has traveled with a sword in the mountains and wilderness.

At this time, he has been away from Binxi for more than two months, and has been traveling north along the road, traveling to various places in Dayu country.

The extremely interesting Red Square in the Rain City is a must-pass place on his way.

Hongfang really deserves the name of Rain City, and before he got close to the city, he had already begun to rain heavily. When he drenched into a soup chicken and walked into the city gate, he saw the majestic grass inscription "Dragon King's Residence, Rain Master's Backyard" on the city gate archway at first sight.

This kind of mysterious feeling will not appear in ordinary people, Xu Huaigu can see it because after entering the first realm, he can glimpse one or two when he has some communication with the aura between heaven and earth.

Along the way, he also kept feeling that he had something different from what he was able to do after embarking on the path of cultivation, and he was disappointed. He seems to be only a little more physically strong, and his senses such as vision and hearing are also more sensitive, and he doesn't have the magical ability to manipulate thunder, lightning, water, fire, and so on.

In fact, the requirements for manipulating thunder and lightning like the Zixia Sect are extremely strict, not only must they learn and comprehend for many years, but the realm must be high enough, otherwise the thunder law will attack the person who casts it, and if they don't die, they will also be seriously injured.

And the set of techniques taught to him by the Taoist priest to restrain the primordial aura for his own use, he has also been practicing. Although he tried hard, the golden thread that wrapped his heart around his heart had not grown, but his sleep and spirit were much better than before.

This is the feedback effect of practicing immortal magic, which makes people's minds clear and prolongs their lives. When the realm is higher to a certain extent, it is the realm of Bigu as the Taoists say. When you reach that realm, you can live between the valleys and streams without eating and drinking, eating and drinking, and the fairy wind and bones.

Xu Huaigu quietly felt the big archway of "the residence of the dragon king, the backyard of the rain master", for the red square where it rains for ten months a year, these eight words really say the weather of the red square.

What surprised Xu Huaigu the most was that the people in the entire Red Square had long been accustomed to living in the rain, and everyone wore a special coat and a hat, or sold along the street in the rain, or walked leisurely in the rain.

However, this is still very unaccustomed to Xu Huaigu, who has just arrived, and the hot and humid weather is uncomfortable.

Fortunately, when he was out of Binxi, the emperor intended to befriend him, so he gave him a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver, so he can now be said to be extremely wealthy. So he rented a sedan chair and sat in it when he went out, so as not to get caught in the rain.

After tasting the famous ten taels of silver and a cup of Hongfang Sparrow in the Red Fang, he unexpectedly found that this was the tea he had drunk in the palace, but it was not as fragrant as the palace royal products.

After drinking the famous tea, I visited several famous mountains and Taoist temples nearby, and saw the beautiful mountains and rivers of Hongfang.

After doing all this, he also left the Red Fang and continued to go north, preparing to practice while traveling, and go to the Fuyao Sect.
