Fang Lin glanced at the panicked White Lotus, and chuckled: "Don't panic, it's okay, but don't say anything for a while, and don't show any expression on your face." ”

Bai Lian was still a little dizzy, nodded in a daze, Concubine Shu and Qu Shan'er exchanged a look, came to Bai Lian's side, blocked it in the middle, and then, Fang Lin led everyone towards the group of thieves with such a big grin.

"Stop, who are you, dare to break into my Tiger Mountain!" When Fang Lin and the others came to the bandits, a minion from the Liangyi Realm stepped forward and asked in an arrogant tone.

With a crisp sound~~~ There was a crisp sound, and the minions didn't wait for Fang Lin's answer, but ushered in the big bull's fan-like slap, and the minions were slapped and turned in place several times, and the Venus in front of him burst out.

Not only did the plan fail, but Guo Ziming, who lost his troops and lost his generals, was already angry in his heart, and now he saw a few people who broke into his cottage without knowing it, but they were still extremely arrogant, and he suddenly felt angry in his heart.

Just when Guo Ziming was about to burst out, the momentum he had gathered instantly dissipated again, his round eyes stared at a palm-sized piece in front of him, on which there were three purple gold tokens of stars arranged in the shape of "Pin", paused for a breath, and immediately took a step back, Guo Ziming hugged his fists and said respectfully: "Guo Ziming has seen the envoy, I don't know what the envoy has to order, I will go to the soup and the fire, and I will not give up!" ”

Guo Ziming knows very well that there are four levels of envoys in Zixing Pavilion: Bronze Envoy, Silver Envoy, Gold Medal Envoy and Purple Gold Envoy, among which the status of the Purple Gold Envoy is the highest, and even the deputy pavilion master can be transferred, and it is precisely because of this that Guo Ziming is so respectful.

Fang Lin said "um", did not speak immediately, first glanced at the bandits, and saw that these bandits were all like defeated roosters, dejected, and many of them were injured to varying degrees, so he snorted lightly: "Guo Ziming, it seems that you went out to do a big deal this time, no wonder even the people guarding the 'Cloud Ladder' have been transferred." ”

"Huh!?" Guo Ziming was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately defended himself: "Envoy Mingjian, the brothers who guard the ladder are absolutely in accordance with the requirements of adults, and we will never dare to be careless, even if I transfer all the brothers in the cottage today, but I definitely didn't move the two brothers who guarded the ladder, envoy, please Mingjian." ”

"Hmph" Fang Lin snorted angrily, and then his whole body exploded, and then Li Haoran and Concubine Shu also burst out their momentum without reservation, Guo Ziming trembled, six Tai Chi Realm! Originally, the identity of the Purple Gold Envoy had crushed him to death, and now the six Taiji Realm powerhouses made his soul tremble.

"Envoy, even if I die, I don't dare to be disrespectful to Zixing Pavilion, disrespectful to adults, it must be those two boys who are cheating and playing tricks, I don't know where to run and be lazy, I will send two brothers over to guard now, and when I find those two boys, I will be severely punished." Guo Ziming was already in a cold sweat when he said this.

"Hmph, my lord said, he doesn't care what you do, but you will be punished if you don't do a good job of what he explained, when we came just now, the dozen or so wastes inside were disrespectful to us, and they have been killed by us, this can be regarded as a small punishment for you, from now on, the people who guard the ladder must be four, if today's situation occurs again, it will not only be a dozen people who have died!" Fang Lin said coldly and arrogantly.

"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." Guo Ziming replied resignedly.

"Well, I still have something to do, let's go, Guo Ziming, you can do it yourself!" Fang Lin said coldly.

"Yes, congratulations to the envoy!" Guo Ziming said brightly.

······

At the foot of Weihu Mountain, it wasn't until he walked out of more than ten miles that Bai Lian exhaled heavily, and gasped slightly: "It's really scared to death, why don't you ~~ not be nervous?" ”

"Giggles, you know at a glance that you have never experienced any storms, and this little battle scares you like this, if you know what we have experienced before, make sure you faint." Qu Shan'er said with a smile.

"What, what, you still have a lot of stories before, it's amazing, you can tell me about it, okay." As soon as Bai Lian heard the story, she immediately came to her senses.

At this moment, Fang Lin said in a deep voice, "Miss White Lotus, there is one thing I hope you can agree to. ”

"Well, you say." Bai Lian said with a smile.

"I hope you can make a soul blood oath and never divulge any experience with us!" Fang Lin Road.

"Why, don't you want others to know about such great things? Those brothers and sisters like me, as long as they do something that is not a big deal at all, they are hyped there, as if they are afraid that no one will know, but why do you ······" Bai Lian said puzzled.

"Hehe, we don't like to sell fame, we just want to practice quietly, and these things we do are too big, if others know, we may have a lot of trouble, so ······" At this point, Fang Lin did not continue.

Although Bai Lian was simple-minded, she was not stupid, and after listening to Fang Lin's explanation, she understood a little, and even made a blood oath.

Fang Lin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, now let's go to the east, and march towards the Heavenly Cang Sect while practicing!" ”

"Yay~~ I can finally go home!" Bai Lian looked innocent, jumped and jumped and said, and then she ran to Qu Shan'er's side and said coquettishly: "Sister Shan'er, you said you want to tell me your story, tell me now." ”

······

Linbei City, this is the closest county town to the Weihu Mountain area, Fang Lin and his party finally came here after a month of trekking through mountains and rivers, this month, a group of people walked through the mountains and Daze, fighting with various powerful monsters and even monster beasts, sharpening their combat experience and the tacit understanding of the team's cooperation, Bai Lian, a new member of the team, after an initial period of discomfort, also gradually integrated into the team, and formed the "Tiangang Beidou Array" with everyone.

This battle array is not very high-end, in the Yeyue Empire, as long as it is a first-class big sect, there are all of them, so Bai Lian has long been familiar with this battle array, and it didn't take much effort to merge with everyone.

Under their deliberate provocation, everywhere they passed was full of chickens and dogs, full of devastation, sometimes they killed the demon beasts and obtained a large number of materials, and sometimes they were chased by the demon beasts and fled in embarrassment, and even almost died in the belly of the demon.

"Hehe, I finally understand, why do you keep saying that the combat power of a team with a Divine Blessing Division will skyrocket or even double, with the addition of Lian'er in the past month, we are simply invincible!" Qu Shan'er said with a smile.

At this time, the group was happily talking about the battle they had with an eighth-level demon beast in the depths of the mountain forest a few days ago, the Storm Rock Giant Ape, and the big bull was able to resist the full attack of the Storm Rock Giant Ape with the blessing of the Vajra Array, the Sturdy Talisman and the Thick Earth Protection.

The flesh and skin of the Storm Rock Giant Ape are as strong as rocks, and normally speaking, the attacks of Li Haoran and others can't break through its defenses at all, but after receiving the blessing of the Divine Blessing Master's attack enhancement, it can also break through its flesh and cause some damage.

In the end, after two hours of fierce fighting, everyone finally killed this demon beast, and at this point, everyone also regarded Bai Lian as their most important partner.

That is, after defeating the Storm Rock Giant Ape, Fang Lin was finally the last to break through to the Tai Chi Realm.

In the laughter of everyone, Linbei City is already clearly visible, after entering the city, everyone is about to find an inn to settle down, but they see that the notice board next to the city gate is crowded with people, there is a golden armor soldier standing on the high platform of the notice board, holding a gong in his hand, after knocking twelve times, he said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, and the people have listened." ”

After shouting, seeing that everyone had quieted down, he cleared his throat, looked at an imperial list in the middle of the notice board and said in a grand voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I first ascended to the great treasure, the state affairs are not stable, but the foreign barbarians want to take advantage of this opportunity to disturb our land and offend my heavenly might.

To this end, I have the following special purposes: First, from this day onwards, all taxes and forced labor will be increased by 30%! ”

As soon as the ~~~~~ golden armor sergeant said this, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone in the audience was angry, increasing taxes is the most hated thing by the people, as long as the emperor with a little brain does not dare to do this, however, the Yeyue Emperor, who has just succeeded to the throne, just did it, how can the people not be angry?

"Silence!" At this moment, the golden armor sergeant shouted violently, and the momentum of the Liangyi Realm suddenly exploded, most of the people present were ordinary people and not martial artists, how could such a momentum be bearable, and suddenly their faces turned pale one by one, and they all stopped talking, but the anger and horror in their eyes were revealed.

Ignoring those ordinary people, the golden-armored sergeant continued: "Second, all warriors should serve the country, and they should report to the military affairs office of the city within three days, and obey the unified dispatch of the imperial court!" ”

Whoa~~~~ Now those warriors are boiling, these warriors are usually unruly and free and comfortable, you want to force them to join the army? Jokes, who would agree.

As a result, the laughter and scolding from all around continued endlessly, but at this time, this gold-armored sergeant did not make any other moves, and with his cultivation, he couldn't control this situation at all.

Just when the warriors were scolding, a cold snort suddenly came from the city guards guarding the gate, the sound seemed to be not loud, but it was like a shocking thunder in the ears of all the warriors, and the eardrums of all the warriors were buzzing.

At this time, a proud-looking general walked out of the city guards, and slowly walked towards everyone step by step, and at this time, a large number of sergeants rushed out of nowhere, surrounding everyone in the middle.

The general came to stand still in front of everyone, his blade-like eyes scanned around everyone, and slowly spoke: "Those who resist the decree and do not respect it, die!" As soon as this dead word came out, his momentum suddenly exploded - a powerhouse in the Yanyan Realm!

Although Linbei City is a county capital, it is not an important city, the strength of the warriors here is generally not high, and the highest cultivation of the martial artists in Linbei City is only in the Nine Secluded Realm, so a general in the Yanyan Realm can be completely deterred.

With the appearance of this general, all the warriors who were besieged were also honest, and at this time, the golden-armored sergeant continued: "Third, all martial arts families, sects, and sects must return to the imperial court within three months!" Fourth, fifth······"

Next, the golden-armored sergeant was undisturbed and read the decree in its entirety.

From the content of the entire holy decree, it can be seen that the new emperor Li Tianyou wants to gather a large amount of wealth, elixirs, minerals, etc. in a short period of time, and then strengthen the control of the imperial court, and do not allow the existence of martial artists among the people, and even the study and scientific research of civilians have been greatly restricted.

Although everyone was very unconvinced, but the force of the imperial court was too strong, and everyone didn't say anything more, and dispersed one after another. Fang Lin and his entourage no longer had the idea of staying in a hotel, but after eating a meal, they found a quiet and uninhabited place, used the breath charm to restrain the breath of their whole body, and planned to disguise themselves as ordinary people and go out of the city.

This holy decree of the emperor can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and for a while, the entire Yeyue Empire was boiling, but the common people were quickly calmed down under the suppression of those armies composed entirely of warriors.

There are also some small and medium-sized forces that are not satisfied with the iron and blood suppression of the imperial court, those who are obedient are obedient, and those who destroy the door are destroyed, which is simply to suppress the opposition by pure force——, absolutely, but there is a strange quiet situation between the big forces and the imperial court.

Just when the Yeyue Empire was filled with gunsmoke and rumors, the various countries around it also began to move accordingly, first of all, the dozen or so countries adjacent to it that had announced earlier that they would no longer pay tribute to the Yeyue Empire, and now they would display heavy troops on the border, looking ready to go to war at any time; The second is that all the neighboring countries have sent a large number of spies into the territory of Yeyue without omission to stir up the wind and rain, making the territory of the Yeyue Empire look like a wolf for a while; third, take this opportunity to poach some martial arts families or sects; Fourth, to plunder Yeyue, all countries sent special teams, taking advantage of the fact that Yeyue's army was trying their best to suppress the domestic rebellion, they came to Yeyue to loot, and then quickly withdrew; Fifth, sixth······ In short, each country has made a number of plans against the Yeyue Empire.

I have to say that the foundation of the Yeyue Empire is indeed very strong, all these turmoil have been suppressed in just half a year, and the actions of various countries against Yeyue have also died down.

On the Jinluan Palace, Li Tianyou's imperial case has been piled up with several feet of music, which are all reports from all parts of the empire during this period on the implementation of the holy decree and the chaotic suppression in various places.

Li Tianyou glanced at the ministers and said lightly: "In the recent past, everyone in various places has known about the situation, so let's talk about any opinions." ”

Zuo Xiangwu Tong came out of the class and replied: "Your Majesty, the development of things is exactly what the emperor expected in advance, at present, it seems that although there are some losses, but the imperial court has completely integrated the strength of the whole country, there are no warriors, no resources, the common people can't afford to make any waves, and after this period of time for the integration of warriors, the imperial team has increased by fifty percent, and the minister thinks that now the empire can launch a war of extermination against any neighboring country." ”

Wu Tong is an old man who has been following Li Tianyou, and he has a very accurate grasp of Li Tianyou's personality and temperament, and he knows what Li Tianyou thinks in his heart; After Li Tianyou succeeded to the throne, he was named the left minister, Li Tianyou also trusted him, after listening to his words, although Li Tianyou did not say anything, just waited quietly, but nodded secretly in his heart.

At this time, the secretary of the military department came out of the class and said: "The minister thinks otherwise, these warriors are some unruly people, who joined the army according to the emperor's order, but their hearts are unstable, and they will not be prohibited like the real army. ”

Then all the ministers expressed their opinions, and in the end, Li Tianyou said slowly: "What the ministers said has its own reason, but Ran Er and the others have missed a big problem, that is, although the imperial court has rectified all the small and medium-sized forces, there are still ten first-class families, eight first-class major sects and three major sects that have not been solved, if these people do not solve it, it will become a big disaster in the future!" ”

As soon as Li Tianyou said this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, if these forces added up to all oppose the imperial court, then the entire imperial court would probably have a headache, as if he had already guessed what the ministers were thinking, Li Tianyou continued to speak: "Actually, we don't have to deal with all of them at all, among these families and sects, some of them are close to the imperial court, and some of them are even still officials in the imperial court. Some are swaying from side to side, such forces will not take the initiative to oppose the court, at most they will secretly make some small moves, we just need to let them know that they are being closely monitored by the court, then they will not dare to make trouble, the last one is to be determined to oppose the court, such a force must be eradicated, such as Tiancang Sect and the Yuan family! ”

These ministers are all treacherous and cunning, and when they heard it, they understood that Li Tianyou had already planned it, so they all hurriedly said respectfully: "The emperor is sage!" ”

"If you want to deal with Tiancang Sect and the Yuan family at the same time, the burden on the imperial court is too great, who do you think it is better to deal with first?" Li Tianyou asked.

At this time, all the ministers thought that they should clean up the Yuan family first, because they did not have a strong person in the realm of life and death, only General Zuo thought that Tiancang Sect should be cleaned up first, the reason is very simple, the court and Tiancang Sect are like two tigers, and the Yuan family is just a wolf, if the tiger attacks the wolf first, then the other tiger is very likely to take advantage of the situation and join forces with the wolf; But if two tigers wrestle, the wolf will definitely not rush up when the situation is still unclear, so the Tiancang Sect should be cleaned up first.

As long as the Tiancang Sect is destroyed, the Yuan family may automatically come to surrender, and it can also play a great deterrent role on other forces, which will also be of great benefit in the future.

After some debate, Li Tianyou finally decided to adopt General Zuo's suggestion and dispatch absolute power to exterminate the Tiancang Sect!

······

Shang Guo, on the Jinluan Palace, the national teacher Shang Rong, an old man in his sixties, was giving advice to Emperor Shang: "Emperor Chenqi, according to a series of recent actions of Ye Yue, Emperor Ye Yue is going to clean up the country, and then launch a war to destroy the country. ”

Emperor Shang said solemnly: "What is the good strategy of the national teacher?" ”

"Li Tianyou wants to destroy all the countries and make the Yeyue Empire the only empire in the entire continent, but he can't do it against all the countries at the same time, so he will inevitably pull some and fight a part." Shang Rong Road.

"And the current Ye Yue is the most powerful, and when he fully integrates the country, it will be the time when the army is headed, whoever is the first to meet will inevitably die, so the first thing we have to do is not to become Ye Yue's enemy within twenty years." Shang Rong continued.

"How can I not become the enemy of Ye Yue?" Shang Huang asked.

"Paying tribute, calling ministers, crying poor, showing weakness." Shang Rong replied.

Emperor Shang nodded, and continued to ask, "How can you cry poor, and why do you show weakness?" ”

"The Black Phoenix Ze incident three years ago gave us a good reason, three months will be the day to pay tribute to the Yeyue Empire, and then we will send a person who can speak to Yeyue to say that the Black Huangze incident has dealt a great blow to our country, and all kinds of compensation at that time have almost emptied all of our country's savings, and the tribute to Yeyue over the years has also been made up by the entire royal family, and said that next year's tribute to our country may not be able to make it up, and I pray for Emperor Yeyue to reduce it as appropriate."

"Then there is the statement that the hearts of the people in our country are scattered at present, although the imperial court has made unremitting efforts, but it has achieved little success, and the domestic sects, the imperial court is also powerless to deter, so that Emperor Yeyue will inevitably think that my royal family is weak and politically unclear, and besides, we have never shown disrespect to Yeyue, so Li Tianyou will not regard us as enemies for the time being." Shang Rong Road.

"However, in the end, we will also become Li Tianyou's enemies." Shang Huang said: "In the end, wouldn't the result be the same?" ”

"It's different, Li Tianyou uses such tyrannical means to rectify the country, although it will receive miraculous results in a short period of time, but after a long time, there will inevitably be chaos, the warriors are unruly, this is already deep in the bone marrow, although it is now suppressed by Li Tianyou with absolute strength, but one day it will break out, and then it will not be suppressed by any force, one of them; Second, the adoption of a high-pressure policy against the common people, which is a manifestation of shaking the country's foundation, when one day, when the people's emotions erupt, although Li Tianyou has millions of elite soldiers, it is difficult to extinguish the fire of the prairie fire; Third, although the country is warlike and will die, Li Tianyou is reckless and easy to crusade against other countries, even if he can destroy it, but it is difficult to govern it well, so his best choice is to suppress it by force and plunder resources, and this will arouse greater resentment, as he attacks more countries, his power will be more dispersed, more and more weakened, and then we will have the ability to compete with it! Speaking of this, Shang Rong's eyes flashed and said, "I wonder if we will be able to seize a considerable advantage in Ye Yue's hands at that time." ”

After listening to Shang Rong's analysis, Emperor Shang's frown finally relaxed, and he laughed and said, "The national teacher is really wise and unparalleled. ”

Just as the ministers were also in a voice, Shang Rong continued to say without arrogance or impatience: "Your Majesty, it's not enough for us to do this. ”

"Oh? What else does the national teacher have to do? Shang Huang asked.

"Integrate business, recruit talents, and expand the soil." Shang Rong Road.

"What do you mean by that?" Shang Huang asked.

"Rongshang means that the imperial court can secretly support some families, so that they can bring some of our country's unique resources and specialties to other countries in exchange for the resources and yuan crystals we need."

"To recruit talents is to recruit talents, we can set up a temporary army, called 'Yulin', to recruit some disciples who are scattered in the rivers and lakes and sects or families to go out to practice, and provide them with cultivation resources and training venues, and they only need to complete some tasks for the imperial court, so that the connection between the imperial court and various forces will be closer, and once talents are found, the imperial court can vigorously recruit them."

"Expanding the territory is to expand the territory, but we can't easily attack other countries, but wait for Li Tianyou to give us instructions to assist in the attack, so that we won't lose much, but we can get rich rewards." Shang Rong explained.

Emperor Shang closed his eyes and pondered for a while, suddenly opened his eyes, and said in awe, "The national teacher is really the pillar of optimus!" Looking around, seeing that all the ministers were nodding their heads, the Shang Emperor continued to ask, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

After a while, seeing that no one answered, the Shang Emperor got up and said in a deep voice: "From now on, my national policy of Dashang is to 'enrich the country, strengthen the army, integrate business, acquire talents, and expand the land', and hope that we and other monarchs and ministers will work together to build the future of Dashang!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers bowed to the mountain and shouted.

······

In the northern city, Fang Lin and his entourage used the breath charm to restrain their whole body breath, waiting in line to leave the city like ordinary people.

At this time, there was a bronze mirror hanging high on the city gate, and suddenly, a beam of light in the bronze mirror shot on the person below, and the person was immediately dotted with stars, followed by a "poof" sound, and the green smoke on his body was flooded, and then, as long as he was a warrior, he could feel the breath of the four elephant realms on his body.

"Hmph, I want to use the breath charm to escape, dreaming!" A sergeant next to him snorted coldly, then pressed the man to the ground, and said loudly: "Deceived the court, his crime should be punished!" ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and stabbed, and with a click, a big head rolled aside, and blood splattered, causing an exclamation.

Seeing this, Bai Lian's pretty face turned pale, and she trembled and said, "They... They have a magic weapon that can recognize the breath charm, I... What are we going to do? ”

······
