Chapter 51: The Messenger of the Empire

Linshui County and Yunhe County are two connected counties, and above the sky from Linshui County to Yunhe County, a group of people led by Zhao Chenjue are flying towards Yunhe County with a flying sword.

In the cultivation realm, under the age of fifty, everyone belongs to the ranks of young people. And Zhao Chenjue has just turned forty, is the grandson of the prime minister of the Eastern Qi Empire, last year at the age of thirty-nine to achieve the foundation building Great Perfection cultivation, is one of the most famous geniuses of the Eastern Qi Empire.

There are one hundred and eight counties under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Qi Empire, and every three years, the Emperor of the Eastern Qi Empire will send tax envoys to pay taxes from each county and county. This year, it was the year of tax collection again, and Zhao Chenjue, an imperial genius, just wanted to go out for a trip, so he asked his grandfather to help him take over the task of collecting taxes.

Imperial tax emissary, this position is a well-known fat shortage, and it has always been the emperor's cronies who are qualified to hold it.

Because each county and county has to pay a minimum of 100 lower grade spirit stones every three years, and then increase the tax by a certain percentage depending on the prosperity of the county and county, and the tax envoys can make their own decisions about the proportion of the tax increase, and the rights in this are great. Of course, the proportion of this increase in revenue cannot exceed 300 percent, and the increase in taxes also belongs to the empire, which needs to be recorded, and is not within the reach of tax envoys.

However, the tax envoy has so much power, why should he worry about not being able to get oil and water? He only needs to control the proportion of the increase in income, and those city lords still don't obediently bring spirit stones to honor him?

Zhao Chenjue, as the grandson of the prime minister, can be ranked among the top three in the Dongqi Empire, and there is never a shortage of spirit stones for him. The reason why he asked his grandfather to come forward to help him come to this tax envoy's task this time was to go out on a trip and find something to do by the way, and secondly, he heard that wherever this tax envoy went, the city lords of all counties and counties would try their best to please him, either it was a spirit stone or a beautiful woman, so he also wanted to see it.

Sure enough, along the way, Zhao Chenjue really had a lot of fun, not to mention what he ate and drank, all of which were the most famous dishes and wines in various counties and counties. The most important thing is beauty, Zhao Chenjue has walked dozens of counties and counties in a row, and basically the lords of each county have recruited one or several beauties with good looks for him. After being full of wine and food, hugging one or several beauties upside down, in addition to getting imperial taxes the next day, you can also laugh at a lot of filial piety, such a day is simply refreshing.

"Young Master, how did the pair of sisters taste last night?" Flying high in the sky above Yunhe County, a guard asked with a lewd expression.

"Hehe, it doesn't need to be said, that body skin, that style on the bed, tsk, this young master is very satisfied. Zhao Chenjue recalled last night's double flight and smiled with satisfaction.

"Young master, this city lord of Linshui County is still quite knowledgeable, even a few of us he has taken care of, it's really good!" the other guard remembered last night's affair, so he also praised in passing.

"Well, so for the sake of his dedication to making Young Master Ben happy, Young Master Ben only collected him a tax of one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and one more spirit stone didn't increase his income, which is worthy of his filial piety!" Zhao Chenjue smiled lightly while flying with the sword.

"Young Master, the area of Yunhe County is ahead, shall we fly directly to the county seat, or do we have a secret visit first?" another guard asked, pointing ahead.

"Along the way, all the city lords are quite knowledgeable, there is no need to make a secret visit or something, fly directly to the county town, think about this Yunhe County Lord should not dare to treat this young master badly, otherwise this young master will not mind using force to replace the city lord. Zhao Chenjue said domineeringly.

The guards also thought deeply when they heard this, this time Zhao Chenjue served as the imperial tax envoy, and his grandfather, the prime minister of the empire, was worried about his safety, so he sent him eight guards. Among the eight guards, two have reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, two are in the late stage of Foundation Building, and the remaining four are in the middle stage of Foundation Building.

This level of guard lineup can be called terrifying, and in the entire Dongqi Empire, only a few powerful and powerful people such as the emperor, the generalissimo of the empire, and the prime minister of the empire can get it.

Therefore, Zhao Chenjue was sure that the city lord of Yunhe County would not dare to treat him badly, because with the force he had, he could completely sweep a county, unless the people of the entire county joined forces to deal with him and his guards, otherwise a thousand and eight hundred people would not be enough for them to kill. Besides, with his identity, which county and county have the courage to join forces against him after eating the bear's heart and leopard?

After flying for more than two hours like this, far away, an incomparably majestic county town appeared in Zhao Chenjue's eyes, the majestic city wall, the momentum that rose to the sky, and Zhao Chenjue and the others looked straight at Zhao Chenjue and the others, and they couldn't believe that this city, which was not smaller than the imperial capital, was actually just a county town.

"Ah Fu, are we in the wrong place, is this really Yunhe County?" Zhao Chenjue asked in disbelief.

"Young Master, judging from the map, this should be Yunhe County!" Looking at the majestic city a hundred miles away below, the guard Ah Fu also said in disbelief.

In the middle of the ring, Zhao Chenjue's eyes flashed with a gleam, licked his lips, and said, "Let's go, let's fly over and have a look first." ”

The eight guards nodded and flew over with them.

......

"Wow, everyone, look, that group of people is so powerful, they are all amazing masters Wow, ** flew into the county town together. ”

"It is said that the city lord has placed a lot of prohibitions over the county city, and if he does not reach the level of Jindan Ancestor, he can't fly into the county city, are these people all Jindan Ancestor?"

"Fart Jindan Ancestor, in my opinion, most of these people don't know the rules of our new county town......

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

Amid the discussion of the crowd, several explosions sounded high in the sky, several rays of light lit up, accompanied by screams, and then several figures fell from the sky like kites with broken strings.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

Zhao Chenjue and the eight guards were impartial, and just fell to the gate of Dongcheng City.

"Haha, these fools, I really think that I am the legendary Jindan Ancestor, and I want to fly in directly without even paying the entrance fee to the city, now I know that it is amazing, right?"

"That's it, I didn't see that we all lined up honestly to pay the city fee, when we are all stupid, if we can fly directly to the city, then who can be stopped by this city wall, it's really blind. ”

"Anyway, if you don't say a word, I don't think those people are easy to mess with, so don't get into trouble. ”

Although Zhao Chenjue and the others, who were bruised and swollen, heard the discussions of those people at the city gate, they didn't have the heart to bother with them, because Zhao Chenjue and the others had been shocked by the change just now.

Ban, in the sky above this county town, there is actually a ban on the storage zĂ i, this discovery really scared Zhao Chenjue and others stupid.

Even if it is the imperial capital of the Eastern Qi Empire, it does not have the ability to arrange a ban over the imperial capital, how can this Yunhe County have the ability to arrange the legendary prohibition over the county town?

Zhao Chenjue and the others couldn't figure it out.

"Young master, it seems that this Yunhe County has changed to a new city lord, and this new city lord has a lot of skills, he should be a master who is good at formation prohibition, such a talent, if the young master can take him under his command......"

Hearing the words of the guard Ah Fu, Zhao Chenjue's eyes, who had just gotten up from the ground, couldn't help but light up, what kind of cultivation this new city lord was still unclear, but just the ability to arrange prohibitions with this hand was already impressive. Thinking of this, Zhao Chenjue is really moved, it doesn't matter what he collects taxes or anything, the important thing is to find a way to collect such talents for his own use.

In this regard, Zhao Chenjue is still very confident. The first is his identity, he has a prime minister's grandfather, and the strength of this prime minister's grandfather has reached the level of the legendary Jindan Ancestor. In the entire Dongqi Empire, the prime minister's grandfather's cultivation was only second only to the emperor and the generalissimo. The second is his own strength, Zhao Chenjue is only forty years old, but he is already the foundation of the Great Perfection, with the support of the Prime Minister's grandfather, sooner or later he will step into the level of Jindan Ancestor.

With such conditions to solicit the other party, Zhao Chenjue believes that it will be successful, after all, although this new city owner is powerful in arranging prohibitions, it does not mean that his own strength is also so powerful. And for cultivators, the most important thing is to cultivate resources and get guidance from famous teachers, it just so happens that Zhao Chenjue thinks that he is not lacking, as long as he prescribes his conditions, he will not worry that the other party will not work for him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chenjue, who was hot in his heart, ignored his wolf appearance, and couldn't wait to walk towards the city gate.

"Each person entering the city needs to pay a lower grade spirit stone. The voice of the city guard rang out at the right time.

If it was normal times, Zhao Chenjue would definitely scold, even if he entered the imperial capital, he would only charge a low-grade spirit stone, and this district and county would dare to be equivalent to the charges of the imperial capital?

However, now Zhao Chenjue was in a hurry to see the city lord of the county city, so he didn't have the heart to worry about this aspect, just asked Ah Fu to hurry up and hand over the spirit stone, and quickly entered the county town.

After entering the county town, a strong aura of heaven and earth rushed towards him, Zhao Chenjue suddenly felt refreshed, and when he reacted, he was shocked again, the aura of heaven and earth in this county town was actually three times richer than the outside, which is also incredible!!

Don't...... , Remembering that the new city lord is good at formation prohibition, Zhao Chenjue thought of a possibility, maybe the entire county city has been arranged with a large spirit gathering array, and this spirit gathering array level is at least intermediate.

This is another imperial capital entirely!!
