There was a bang.

Everything in front of me was shattered.

In a trance, it seems to be back here.

Zhuang Ming's heart palpitations still existed, trembling slightly.

It was as if he had crossed an infinite number of years, confronting a powerful primeval dragon.

"The sky wept blood, the king was destroyed, the demons were in turmoil, the bell rang, and the holy palace was overturned. ”

He breathed sluggishly, muttered, and felt a storm in his heart.

He didn't know what these eighteen words meant.

But he could feel that as powerful as the primeval true dragon, he also showed despair and sadness.

In an instant, Zhuang Ming's mind sank into these eighteen words, thinking about the meaning of these eighteen words.

In just eighteen words, he instantly crossed his mind, sketching a magnificent and tragic picture.

"Childe ......"

Liu He made a soft call and made him come to his senses.

Zhuang Ming exhaled slowly.

He clenched his fists and looked as usual.

Whatever that means, it's not in sight.

There is much more to come.

"Although King Chen fell into my hands, the big thing is not over yet. ”

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said, "We ......"

His voice paused suddenly, and his eyes looked ahead.

In the open space ahead, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rain and blood were mixed together.

And the soaking wet girl, with messy sideburns, in a muddy and bloody water, cried and trotted all the way, ran off her shoes, and ran in front of her.

"Childe ......"

"Hmm. Zhuang Ming nodded slightly.

"I thought I'd never see you again. She whispered.

"No, it won't. Zhuang Ming felt the power from the dragon, and said slowly: "From now on, we will not encounter such a danger again. ”

"Hmm. She nodded heavily.

"Go, go in. ”

Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and took her hand, only to feel as cold as frost, as when he first saw her.

——

Fengcheng.

Lord Zhao did not follow King Chen to Zhongwang Mountain.

For the young man, he was not disgusted, but somewhat appreciative.

It's just a pity that in six years, the Zhuang firm, which has created a huge momentum, has collapsed in an instant because it offended people who should not be offended.

Tens of thousands of troops besieged Zhongwang Mountain, and Zhuang Ming had no reason to be spared.

Even those people under the name of Zhuang's firm can survive under the crime of rebellion, it is difficult to say.

"The old man can't go to Zhongwang Mountain, and it's difficult to give you a ride. ”

Lord Zhao poured a glass of wine, poured it on the ground, and sighed: "Zhuang Ming, go all the way." ”

At this point, there is no room for change.

No matter how wise he is, he will definitely die.

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... Something big is wrong......"

At this moment, I saw a subordinate who ran in in a panic, shouting in his mouth.

Lord Zhao frowned and said, "What's the matter?

This was expected, and it was not unexpected.

And with an indescribable look on his face, he quickly shook his head and gasped: "It's not ......"

"Isn't it?"

"The Zhennan army besieging Zhongwangshan broke and fled. ”

"What?"

"Some of the soldiers fled into Fengcheng, as if they were crazy, delirious. ”

"Confirm it's the Zhennan Army?" Lord Zhao's expression changed.

"It's the Zhennan Army. The man gasped and said, "Our duke stopped them, and they were almost killed by the Zhennan army's escape...... Just now suppressed them, after inquiry, they said that in the Qianlong Villa, there is a hidden dragon, invulnerable, even the heavenly machine crossbow can not hurt it, can call the wind and rain, sweep the army, and have the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea. ”

"Nonsense. Lord Zhao frowned, he was born as a literati, and he has always dismissed fairy legends and ghosts as false stories that deceive the people.

"Really...... Those deserters from the Zhennan Army all said so......"

"Deserter ......"

Lord Zhao's brows furrowed.

He hadn't seen any fairies and ghosts, and he didn't believe that there were any fairies and dragons in this world.

But if it is really the rout of the Zhennan Army, what does it mean?

Doesn't it mean that the more than 20,000 elite Zhennan troops besieging Zhongwang Mountain were actually defeated by Zhuang Ming?

Lord Zhao's gaze gradually became incredible.

No matter how smart Zhuang Ming is, he is just a businessman who has amassed a lot of wealth, how did he defeat the Zhennan army?

Could it be that he secretly raises private soldiers?

But how many thousands of soldiers and horses can be hidden in Qianlong Villa?

What's more, there are more than 20,000 elites of the Zhennan army, all of whom have fled for it, is it possible that there are 100,000 troops in Qianlong Villa?

Or is there something else?

What is the reason why more than 20,000 Zhennan troops will be defeated?

"Where's King Chen?"

"I heard that I was pinched to death by Jiaolong. ”

“......”

Lord Zhao only felt that this matter was not credible, but he did not scold him again, but just said in a low voice: "Quickly order someone to investigate!

The subordinate hurriedly responded: "After seeing the defeat of the Zhennan army, someone has already gone to investigate." ”

Lord Zhao nodded slightly, then paused again, and said, "The people of the Zhuang Firm's firm who are imprisoned in prison are all courteous, and they are not allowed to be beaten and scolded, and they are given preferential treatment...... In addition, the official strictly ordered that when the Zhuang firm was sealed, it was not allowed to take advantage of the fire to rob, and all property was not to be taken. Moreover, all that has been taken before will be returned, and if not, once it is verified, it will be severely punished!"

He probably knows what kind of virtues these men under his command are.

Usually it doesn't matter, but now that things are not right, out of prudence, he doesn't want to offend Zhuang Ming again in small matters.

"Sir...... These people ......"

"Zhuang Ming, this person, the city is as deep as the sea, but in front of the public, he destroyed the divine objects and was convicted of rebellion by King Chen, and even the old man couldn't defend him. ”

Lord Zhao muttered: "Since hearing the news, the old man has felt that this matter is strange, unlike his Zhuang Ming's style of acting, but he never thought that Zhuang Ming would be able to resist the Zhennan army. Although I don't know what strength he relied on to defeat the Zhennan army, he at least solved the current predicament and looked at the changes later......

Zhuang Ming first rebelled and was convicted of irrefutable rebellion.

Now although he has strength, he defeated the Zhennan army and injured King Chen.

But in the end, it can't change the fact of blatant resistance to the law.

If there is no accident, the Zhuang family will definitely face the encirclement and suppression of the entire Dongsheng Dynasty.

Can Zhuang Ming really hold on?

Lord Zhao didn't know the truth.

But he knew that this young man was very smart, and at least he had relieved the crisis in front of him.

"Listen again, we are only temporarily taking these people into custody, and they are not thieves before they are convicted in the capital. ”

Lord Zhao paused and said, "If someone from Zhuang's firm comes to contact, let it go first......

The man was shocked and said, "Master......"

Lord Zhao said in a deep voice: "He has even defeated the Zhennan army, can we stop it? As long as the court is not convicted, what about him? If the court convicts him again later, he will also be surrounded and suppressed first, and when he is surrounded and suppressed, it will not be difficult for us to arrest people back at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Lord Zhao looked in the direction of Zhongwang Mountain, his eyes were extremely complicated.

With Zhuang Ming's scheming, he solved the dilemma in front of him, and he will inevitably set up a plan for the future.

He even suspected that Zhuang Ming had already fallen into the capital before he set off this huge momentum.

Perhaps, there will be no more condemnation in the capital.

——

Word spreads.

Not limited to Toyoshi.

There are rumors in the sixteen mansions of Huai'an.

On that day, Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's Commercial Bank openly rebelled and fled back to Zhongwang Mountain.

The whole Zhuang firm was arrested and imprisoned by the government.

The Qianlong Villa in Zhongwang Mountain was surrounded by more than 20,000 elites of the Zhennan Army.

On the same day, Qianlong Villa, there was a dragon, calling for wind and rain, soaring for nine days, sweeping thousands of troops, and defeating the Zhennan army.

More than 20,000 Zhennan troops scattered and fled.

Such rumors are no longer even limited to the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an, but are gradually spreading out.

"Nonsense...... Is there any dragon in this world?"

"Could it be that you have some giant python?"

"What kind of python can defeat tens of thousands of troops? If there really is such a giant python in the world, what is the difference between it and a dragon?"

"In my opinion, it is about that Mr. Thirteen, who has deep financial resources and secretly raises soldiers, otherwise how dare he openly rebel?"

That makes sense. ”

"That's right, if this Thirteen Mr. can really control the dragon, isn't he an immortal?"

"It's really an immortal, and you still need to make silver taels in the mortal world?

"Most of the Zhennan army was dispersed, and with the name of the Qianlong Villa, some people were far-fetched, adding some hidden dragons, and there was more to talk about. ”

Regarding this matter, some people believe it is true, and some people scoff at it.

In the Dongsheng Dynasty, for hundreds of years, no practitioner has shown the Dharma in front of people.

The legends of fairies and ghosts have long been ethereal, and they only exist in the wild history recorded in ancient books and the stories passed down by word of mouth.

In the eyes of many people, this matter is mostly false, and it has been fabricated by people with good intentions, adding a lot of magical colors and more talking points.

However, although it is difficult to say whether the matter of Jiaolong is true or false, it is a fact that Qianlong Villa was besieged by more than 20,000 Zhennan troops.

Now the Zhennan Army has been defeated!

That Qianlong Villa really has the strength to fight against the army?

Dongsheng Dynasty was surging in an instant.

The court was shaken, and the people were uneasy.

——

And at this moment.

Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa.

"Childe...... Here's a list of the losses. ”

"Well, put it down. ”

Zhuang Ming's eyes were cold and he put down the list.

The commercial houses in various places, assigned by him, no one resisted the law, but no one was killed, but in terms of silver, the loss was really great.

However, the officials of the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an can be regarded as giving him face, and perhaps they heard that he defeated the Zhennan army, and the imperial army did not arrive, so they were jealous and feared to anger him.

Therefore, the losses on the list are not as large as he originally estimated.

On the contrary, after the news of his defeat of the Zhennan army spread, the officials of the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an respected him like a god and secretly made up for some losses.

Although they also felt that there was no movement in the capital and the situation was not yet clear, Zhuang Ming might still be a thief, and it was still difficult to determine the future outcome.

But at least, at this moment, no one in the sixteen mansions of Huai'an dared to embarrass him.

Most of the staff of Zhuang's Commercial Bank, who were originally imprisoned, were also released.

But Zhuang Ming knew that the matter was not over yet.

"Brothers who have died, remember their meritorious deeds, bury them thickly, paint their images, seal them in the high pavilion, but give bereavement to those who have relatives. Wounded brethren, let us do our best to treat them, and there must be no mistakes...... Those who are disabled will also be supported by my Zhuang firm from now on. ”

Zhuang Ming said: "After a while, I will reward it again......"

Liu He's expression was heavy, and he said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Zhuang Ming exhaled slowly and closed his eyes slightly.

Liu He said softly: "Lu Ye's shoulders were pierced, his bones were torn, his meridians were broken, his organs were injured, and his arms were almost weak. ”

"Yue Ye and Bai Ye, the injuries are too serious, and they are still unconscious, but the Dragon Monarch Holy Medicine has saved their lives, and the doctor said that there is a vitality in it, which is supporting their blood and qi, stimulating the pulse, and will gradually recover. ”

"It's just that Bai Ye broke his arm and couldn't be continued. ”

As he spoke, Liu He's voice was also slightly hoarse.

Zhuang Ming opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to support the young dragon in his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

Liu He gave a salute and was about to retreat.

Zhuang Ming paused and said, "Tell those who are still alive that no matter how serious the injuries are, sooner or later, I will let them recover." ”

Liu He was stunned, only thinking that the son was comforting, but when he remembered the dragon, he immediately turned pale and said, "Yes." ”

Zhuang Ming waved his hand to let him retreat.

But Liu He left, and another person came outside the door.

Light and careful.

"Childe ......"

"Huh?"

Zhuang Ming looked up and saw that it was a frost spirit holding a hot soup.

The girl's face was still very pale, her eyes were bloodshot, and there were faint tear stains, and she took the hot soup and put it on the table.

"Go and rest, I don't have anything to do here. ”

Zhuang Ming paused, and said softly: "I know the matter, I have done a good job, the obscured qi you refined dispersed with the wind, confusing a large number of soldiers of the Zhennan Army and delaying their footsteps, otherwise, they would have attacked Qianlong Villa first." ”

Frost Spirit snorted and said, "It's all up to Childe's teaching. ”

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What is the matter...... Is it over?"

Zhuang Ming shook his head slightly, and said: "Things are still to come, after all, the Dongsheng Dynasty is not the king of Chen, and it is not only 20,000 Zhennan troops, but ......"

He looked indifferent and continued: "It used to be a big thing, but now it can only be a small thing. ”

The supreme imperial power in this world must also be surrendered to him.

Because of the dragon's divine power, it is higher than the world!

——

Meanwhile.

Huai'an emergency report has been sent to the capital.

The storm has spread, and it has been carried out overseas with the ship.

The wind and rain in the world have not stopped!
