A rumor has spread in Haizhou at an unprecedented speed, and of course it is also spreading in the land of the Dali royal court and in the surrounding countries, and this rumor is -- Haizhou actually killed prisoners! Moreover, it was a massacre of 140,000 people, which is simply an extermination of human nature! It is miserable! Animals are not as good as animals!

The speed of the rumor spread rapidly, as if it had completely spread in a few days, and in less than five days, even the most remote mountain village knew about such rumors;

"Is there really no problem with this?" Lan Hai frowned a little, Xiao Hao's various decisions, as well as some changes in Haizhou now, even Lan Hai is a little uncontrollable, all the changes and so on are too fast, of course, more importantly, these changes are really a little weird.

For example, Xiao Hao said that the massacre of 140,000 people was a warning that made those ordinary civilians afraid? What did he say that ordinary people were far from being as strong as they imagined? What is this?

Looking at the ancestor in front of him, Xiao Hao smiled slightly, stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky, the sky was full of clouds; now Xiao Hao's cultivation has already surpassed the blue ocean, but today's human environment attaches more importance to the teacher, etc., although Xiao Hao can learn from another teacher, but the relationship with the blue ocean is forever maintained. "Master, let me tell you a story.

There was once such an ordinary town, and suddenly a wolf demon came to the town, and the wolf demon hunted and killed people often, and there was no one in the town who was the opponent of the wolf demon.

One day, a brave hunter went into the mountains to fight the wolf demon to the death, but was defeated, and it was at this time that the hunter had an idea and consulted with the wolf demon: How about we give you one person a month, and you don't go into the town again, so that you don't get hurt, and you can enjoy the delicious food once a month.

Such a building yì. The wolf demon agreed. Because the wolf demon does get injured every time he hunts the residents of the town, after all, some human weapons are still relatively aggressive.

The hunter acted in this way, and it was also a kind of kindness, and he felt that in this way, the town would not have to worry about it every day, and that it would be nice to 'sacrifice' one person every month. It should be regarded as a sacrifice to the mountain god.

However, at first, the wolf demon was quite honest, but gradually began to be dissatisfied, and the 'food' required from the hunters could no longer be old people, but people in the prime of life.

The hunter wants to fight for it, but he is no match for the wolf demon, and the hunter wants to discuss with the townspeople that we should go and kill the wolf demon, but the townspeople think that the hunter is the executioner, and it seems that one person per month can accept it - anyway, according to the current 'law', our family should not suffer. In fact, by this time the town had become accustomed to the new 'rule'.

But the wolf demon is getting more and more greedy. Beginning to ask for young and strong, and began to ask for infants and young children, and gradually changed from once a month to twice and three times a month......

People are sad, but they find ...... If you can still live, then continue to endure it.

But gradually, the number of wolf demons is increasing, and what the hunters want to do for the townspeople has been rejected by the townspeople. The hunter was sad, he felt like he had been doing his devotional work for the town, but in the eyes of the people. But the hunter has become the spokesman of the wolf demon, the hateful sinner who deserves a thousand cuts. So. People don't believe in hunters, but ordinary people can't organize decent battles, they don't know how to fight wolf demons, and things drag on day by day.

Eventually, there were more and more wolf demons, and they were enjoying the food delivered by humans every day, while the people in the town were numb! There were fewer and fewer people in the town, and by the time the people reacted, it was too late to join forces and fight hard! The hunters who knew the wolf demon best, and who really wanted to do something for the townspeople, were not believed.

At that moment, an army suddenly came. Slay the wolf demon, but start ruling the town, which is enslaved and the townspeople live in extreme hardship. But it was in this situation that the hunters were reported, and the army killed the hunters to win the hearts of the people - and then the townspeople cheered for a while, and they willingly accepted the rule, but gradually the townspeople found that the soldiers were more brutal, and they killed people at every turn, took things they saw, and robbed beautiful women when they saw them, and soon the town was completely destroyed.

Master, what do you say about this story?"

After Lan Hai listened, there was silence in his heart, and it was the first time he heard someone reason in such a way, but what really shocked and silenced Lan Hai was not Xiao Hao's storytelling method, nor the surface of the story, but the truth contained in the story.

First, good intentions do not necessarily lead to good deeds.

Second, people tend to be short-sighted and tend to only see the surface.

Third, there is a meaning of boiling frogs in warm water - well, Xiao Hao also told Lan Hai about this truth.

Fourth, if we rely entirely on outsiders, then there will never be a future!

Fifth, people are often numb, and even their own blood does not necessarily awaken them to reality.

Sixth, in the beginning, people were capable of killing wolf demons, but they chose to be numb.

Of course, there are more meanings, but just a simple analysis, Lan Hai roughly understands what Xiao Hao is going to say!

Think about it, when those places that are not covered by Haizhou, when those nobles recruit husbands again, those ordinary commoners will have to rebel -- anyway, if they resist now, they will die, and they will die if they go to war in the future! In this case, it is better to do the opposite.

In addition, Xiao Hao wants to express a meaning: sometimes you really go to liberate some ordinary people, they really don't necessarily appreciate it! The rescuers who appear at the "right" time save people before they suffer, and they appreciate it; only when they are desperate, you suddenly stand up, even if you are a demon, they will regard you as a savior.

This little story vividly shows this truth.

After a long time, Lan Hai spoke: "I understand." ”

Yes, Blue Ocean understands that doing things cannot be done by "right" means, but also by taking into account human nature, etc., sometimes the wrong means can even achieve many goals that cannot be achieved by the right means - at least in the eyes of ordinary people. Although some unscrupulous means, if you really use the right means, people may not appreciate it!

The world is like a new chess game! Blue Ocean has such a feeling!

As time passed, the rumors about Haizhou became more and more intense. The puppet king was overjoyed and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit troops to attack Haizhou again. But the reality is just as Xiao Hao expected, under the threat of Haizhou's 140,000 bloody numbers, the puppet king Shengqing's recruitment this time is full of difficulties! If you go to the battlefield, you will definitely die, and if you don't go to the battlefield, there will be a way to live! Under such circumstances, many soldiers of the puppet king have even defected!

During this period of preparation for recuperation and recuperation in Haizhou. The puppet king had no way to organize a large army by virtue of the present opportunity, and every day he was faced with all kinds of failed information, and the various nobles conscripted troops under their rule and even really went to the extreme of popular rebellion! Of course, the reason why they dared to have a popular uprising was Haizhou's means -- I don't know how many seeds were sown at the beginning!

Sometimes people are also hot-blooded, but they don't know how to vent, and Haizhou is working this, and at this moment, the vast majority of Zhongzhou and a small part of Lizhou, which is controlled by the entire puppet king Shengqing, are unable to gather enough food and soldiers-you know, Zhongzhou is definitely the richest place in the Dali royal court!

When these news reached Xiao Hao's hands, Xiao Hao just smiled slightly. In fact, I was relieved in my heart, but fortunately I succeeded, and there was no major change, but Lan Hai sighed softly at the intelligence, and suddenly there was a change, it was a change after an epiphany. Then I saw the light on Lan Hai's body surging, and he actually broke through!

After a long time, Lan Hai opened his eyes, and then ran back to his "office" before he had time to say anything.

Xiao Hao looked at it. also smiled slightly, knowing that Lan Hai had finally figured it out! A real prime minister can't think about how to make people good all day long. We also have to think about how to make society stable and make the foolish people happy! Sometimes, we can't think completely in the way of smart people, but also think in the way of fools and tyrants!

This change of thinking is also a baptism, and it is nothing to make Lan Hai suddenly have an epiphany. It's just that Xiao Hao didn't expect it. When he saw Lan Hai three days later, Lan Hai actually rushed to the Purple Qi Dongsheng Intermediate Nine Rank in one go, jumping from the original three grades to the ninth rank in one go, maybe this is also the Qi Luck cultivation can have such a change - as long as the wisdom is improved, there is no need to worry about going mad.

"Congratulations to the ancestor. "Xiao Hao is really congratulating. There can be such a big improvement. can only explain one point - before the blue ocean must have often "planned for the world" and drilled the tip of the horns, but Xiao Hao's words made the blue ocean really realize his mistakes, and now he had an epiphany, and by the way, he rushed to the intermediate ninth grade in one breath, taking into account that if it weren't for the relatively large difference between the intermediate and advanced levels of the purple qi east, it would take a period of precipitation, maybe the blue ocean would be able to rush to the purple qi dongsheng advanced in one go.

"Hey......" Blue Ocean after the breakthrough was not too happy, "How difficult life is." Maybe ordinary people don't understand, but I still want to do my best. Of course, I try to be mindful of the way things are done when I can, but I don't hesitate to do things if necessary. Because, if you hesitate too much, it will cause more damage!"

Xiao Hao nodded, already understanding that Lan Hai had figured it out. In fact, it is helpless to use a fictional story to tell things; if you say those truths directly, even if it is a blue ocean, it is estimated that the first reaction is to roll your eyes: What kind of bullshit logic are you! If it is more intense, maybe you will come directly with a big slap -- get out, Wukong, you are naughty again.

Soon after the promotion of the blue ocean, all the information from the south and the west also came back; Chen Guo in the south began to contribute to the work, and even through the intelligence system of Haizhou, Xiao Hao still knew a little bit of information -- Chen Guo was revising the national credentials, and it seemed that he was preparing to establish diplomatic relations with Haizhou.

In the West, on the other hand, it is more intense, and from the perspective of a bystander, the miscellaneous family has taken a stinky move! I don't know what to think, but I didn't think about it: What will this make those who take refuge in the miscellaneous family think?

What's more, because the actions of the miscellaneous family angered Sheng Zhan, this person who can sit firmly in a place like Lizhou is not a sheep, but a dormant tiger. At this moment, the tiger descended the mountain, and its fangs were exposed! The two miscellaneous prefectures bordering Lizhou were not at peace! In particular, although Zhang Yun and these elites did not kill people, they provided Sheng Zhan with a powerful ability to maneuver.

More importantly, Sheng Zhan is purely about revenge, and there is no bullshit military purpose! This has created a phenomenon -- as long as Sheng Zhan feels that a certain place is in danger, he will never go there, even if there are many enemy family members there, and if he feels that a certain place is safe, even if it is an ordinary village or town, he will go over and step on it.

An army of 10,000 raged behind enemy lines in a serpent-like manner. I never fought against any team of more than 1,000 troops, more than 2,000 ordinary people, and even then, it was all sneak attacks and the like, poisons, ambushes, luring enemies, camouflage, half-crossing, etc., it was simply everything.

Maybe relying on Sheng Zhan alone certainly doesn't have so many means, but don't forget, there are dozens of kobold military divisions from Haizhou next to it, and maybe one or two kobold military divisions will do bad things. But a few dozen dog-headed military divisions are enough to turn around the masters of the sun and the moon! These dog-headed military divisions have a large number of good teachers -- Xiao Hao, as well as countless people in the rivers and lakes who are crawling in life and death, and Haizhou was a well-known (notorious) bandit nest at the beginning, and there were too many "talents"!

"It feels very good!" Xiao Hao laughed proudly.

Xiao Hao was really proud, a few days ago, the dragon princess came forward and took the dragon prince away, and that time the dragon princess Ao Qingyin didn't say anything. Xiao Hao understood that it must be the high-level of the Terran who had come forward, but he didn't know it, and obviously, now the powerful Terran was already working to expel the power of the Dragon Clan on the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou - and the actions of the Dragon Clan in the Yingzhou Secret Realm gave the Terran an excuse! No, maybe he acquiesced to the actions of the Dragon Clan. That's for this! This is a premeditated plan that has been formulated a long time ago! As for the premeditated conspiracy of the high-level of the human race, Xiao Hao can only look up to -- those clever masters of the Sun and Moon Tonghui have nothing to do, and they ponder the conspiracy every day.

There is also a trading center in Haizhou built by Xiao Haoti, but it is still under construction and busy. Perhaps because of his proximity to Xiao Hao, Zhang He, a Danxin master who was in charge of the transaction between Ziyue Pavilion and Xiao Hao, was also influenced by some of Xiao Hao's thoughts, so Zhang He actually decided to build a joint venture with Haizhou. This Purple Moon Pavilion Xiao Hao is now also known to the Han Patriarch and the Mo Family, and it is very complicated; But the Lone Ranger and related organizations also participated, and of course, the nine streams were indispensable. In fact, it is the largest "black market" within the Terrans!

But it doesn't matter, as long as it is not remotely controlled by some miscellaneous family and Li Zongfa's family, and this background made Xiao Hao decide to cooperate, business will be a very important part of Xiao Hao's ruling atmosphere in the future, and business pays attention to going out, otherwise how much future can he have in his own land. Of course, there is another point in Haizhou, a business thing. The government will not intervene too much, which Xiao Hao has inherited the good experience of another world, the Ministry of Commerce operates independently, and the way it operates is almost completely different from the rest of the government departments. Such a decision also made Purple Moon Pavilion very happy!

And this time the construction of the trading center. Xiao Hao let the Ministry of Commerce completely toss it by himself, and at most he gave a few guiding suggestions. Even the auctions in Haizhou led by the Purple Moon Pavilion have a unique style and rules, and they are all making new attempts and reforms, which is what Haizhou is today. Once their minds are opened and their horizons are broadened, businessmen will spontaneously promote the development of society, and the government's responsibility is to supervise and not let business be skewed.

Considering that Haizhou had become more adequate after a month of preparation, Xiao Hao finally gave the order -- a general attack on the puppet Wang Shengqing; at the same time, let Han Sheng return, let Zhang Yun pay attention; especially Zhang Yun, as long as he can continue to "make trouble," it is the best support for Haizhou's strategy.

This time, Xiao Hao did not go on a personal expedition, and let Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng lead the army to the expedition. This time, there were 30,000 troops, of which nearly 10,000 were elites, and the rest were also elites among ordinary soldiers; Xiao Hao planned to destroy the puppet king Shengqing in a battle and hold Zhongzhou in his hands. It's just that Xiao Hao understands that he can only occupy the Zhongzhou part, after all, there are a lot of jackals around - none of those states are easy to get along with, I don't know if it is the so-called heroes in troubled times.

And this time, before the soldiers set out, Princess Qingyue actually took the initiative to come over, asking Xiao Hao to capture the pseudo-king Shengqing alive as much as possible, and to make this uncle of hers well. Looking at Princess Qingyue's hateful eyes, Xiao Hao was a little chilled, but it didn't matter, of course Young Master Xiao agreed, and if possible, he would try his best to capture him alive.

But come to think of it, with the health talisman provided by Xiao Hao, as long as he doesn't run away, the possibility of being captured alive is still very high - with the health talisman, he can attack at will, and he doesn't have to be afraid of attacking the vital point, and he doesn't have to be afraid of the pseudo-Wang Shengqing committing suicide.

After a complicated rest and preparation, after a slow march for half a month, the soldiers of Haizhou came to the bank of the Youlongjiang River, facing each other across the Youlongjiang River. On the other side, there were Zhongzhou soldiers who were nervously defensive.

Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng looked at the somewhat soulless guards on the other side and smiled coldly; both of them were acquired masters, and with Xiao Hao's support, they were already close to breaking through the innate realm-considering that the return of heaven and earth was likely to unfold in the near future, Xiao Hao decided to let his people enter the innate realm as early as possible...... Ahem...... It's a secret.

In short, because his cultivation is good, his facial features are sensitive, and although he is separated by the wide Young Dragon River, Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng can still see the fear of the soldiers on the other side.

"Pass the order, now the enemy is not fully prepared to take advantage of the situation to attack. Han Sheng calmly gave the order.

"This ...... There are no ships?" Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng's personal soldiers were a little puzzled.

"Haha......" Zhang Zheng laughed proudly, "you pig brains, what era is this, still thinking about the boat! Do you remember when we cleaned the rivers here a month and a half ago? Today I will open the eyes of you dirt buns!"

Han Sheng pouted next to him, "Tu Baozi, are you talking about you in the past?"

When the team was reorganized, Han Sheng took out a volume of "holy decrees" from the sea and said that it was a holy decree, but in fact, Haizhou has not yet been completely established, and Xiao Hao has not officially canonized, so such a "holy decree" should be said to be a "verbal decree", and it is not as powerful as a real holy decree - but now Youlongjiang is already under the control of Haizhou after all, so it is relatively easy.

At the beginning, a holy decree from the king of the royal court could make Xiao Hao's divine power invalid for an hour, and the effect of the holy decree was still very powerful.

Unfolding the holy decree, Han Sheng read word by word: Open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water!

Today's Xiao Hao is qualified to use the order of "E" in Haizhou, and the kind of high-minded taste is fully displayed.

Poof...... The decree suddenly turned to ashes, but a burst of royal red light shimmered across the entire river ahead. The changes that followed stunned everyone.

I saw that in the tumbling of the river, an arch bridge that seemed to be carved from the crystal slowly appeared from the surface of the river, first the middle part, like a part of a crystal ring, and then gradually, more river water converged into a crystal ring, and gradually the crystal ring rose, the two ends continued to extend, and quickly connected to both sides of the river.

But the change did not stop, only to see the crystal arch bridge slowly widened, and finally expanded to a zhang width, enough to sprint in parallel with the two horses; on both sides is carved railings and jade masonry, flowers, birds, insects and fish, dragons fly and phoenixes dance, a completely "crystal" carved art flat across the young Longjiang River, only some shallow red silk threads shuttle in it.

"Let's go!" Han Sheng took the lead in walking up, but after stepping on the crystal bridge, Han Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, it was stronger than he imagined; just now Han Sheng directly used the true qi of the peak of the day after tomorrow to stomp on it, but the entire crystal bridge did not change in the slightest, as if it was really carved with extremely hard crystal, and there was no water, no slippery, and no cold on the bridge deck. If you look closely, you can see that the bridge deck has a hazy, rough surface like freezing mist.

The Rumble ...... cavalry, infantry, and even powerful ballistae made their way onto the Crystal Bridge.

On the other side, the soldiers and generals of Zhongzhou were stunned, but then there were bold and far-sighted generals and soldiers who wanted to block the attack of Haizhou through the Guò Crystal Bridge.

But a frightened thing happened, when a large number of Zhongzhou soldiers went up, Han Sheng slightly turned the general seal on his waist, and the situation changed in an instant, thousands of Zhongzhou soldiers fell suddenly, as if they were stepping on the void, they struggled to fall into the rolling young dragon river below, and soon disappeared completely after a few ups and downs.

The commander of the Zhongzhou side, who was still commanding in the rear of the ......, was stunned for a moment, and then ordered to block the river with bows and arrows. (To be continued......)
