Chapter 262 Voidness and Submission

The dinner party did not last long. It ended quickly after Yu Liqing said his drunken farewell and was escorted by his personal guards. Everyone had no intention of continuing to chat. Feng Muyang and Zhu Boming had traveled a long way to come here, so naturally they had something to ask for, but what they said at this moment

The words are definitely out of time, will catch people's tongue, and arouse people's imagination. It will not be worth it if it ruins the plan.

The end seemed to be in a hurry, but in fact it was very slow. The center of the banquet turned from Qiao Anguo to Deng Shengjie. They were all over fifty years old. They pretended to talk and flatter a few words. They did not fall behind in the scene and gave enough face. This is naturally not good for Master Tianmen Wu.

Make use of the topic.

Everyone in the world knows what kind of business Shangtianmen is. When merchants and shops see people dressed up in Shangtianmen, they are so frightened that they close their doors and thank customers. Common people secretly slander and tease behind their backs. It is commonplace. It is only on such occasions that you can feel the lingering power of the imperial court. It seems like

The Jialuo Empire is still as prosperous and prosperous as it was a hundred years ago.

Qiao Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji were actually so happy. They had never wanted to receive the two city lords, but then two lackeys from Shangtianmen came, which was very unlucky. Later, they learned that the Northern Territory was in turmoil and the Frost Crystal Dragon

Wake up, no matter how delicious this banquet is, it tastes like chewing wax, and I have no intention of swallowing it. Arrange the city lord and the people who go to Tianmen properly, instruct the servants to take good care of them, and keep them in high spirits. Do not slack off and offend your lords.

, causing trouble.

The lively atmosphere outside Qiaozhuang continued to be noisy compared to the silence inside Qiaozhuang. Qiao Anguo had not been able to receive the exact news from the north, and was delayed for some time because of the meal. He was in a bad mood and was no longer in a bad mood.

Patiently continue to confirm whether this news is true. Let fifty top soldiers divide into five groups to go north, including Bixia disciples. They are not afraid of any risks encountered on the way. Each group is equipped with Bixia who are good at detoxification and alchemy.

The disciples of the Xia sect are all from the Dan sect, and they have at least four space storage spiritual weapons along with them on each journey, which can be said to be fully prepared.

Yang Chengfu and Cui Quji also facilitated this matter. After everyone dressed up in various simple appearances, the three explained that they should pay attention to their own safety during this trip north. The core purpose was to ensure that Lu Xulei, Ge Jianjun, Zhan Lu, Hong Tianying, and Meng Bugui

To ensure the safety of the five people, if nothing can be done, we must do our best to rescue the five people. There will be plenty of time and opportunities later, so we must not leave our lives to that.

The three people gave the advice sincerely, and everyone understood the profound meaning in their hearts without any ambiguity. They summoned the flying spirit beast one after another, jumped on the back of the flying spirit beast, flapped their wings and flew away, gradually moving away.

On the other side, Yu Liqing got rid of the servants in the name of going to the toilet. He avoided the servants on duty and came to Deng Shengjie's dormitory. He passed by the window and slipped into the room as light as a swallow. He saw Deng Shengjie sitting there.

He closed his eyes and rested on the chair, slowly opened his eyes, nodded to Yu Liqing, then withdrew his gaze and spoke in an easy-going tone.

"Is the matter done?"

Yu Liqing looked up and down to confirm the situation inside the house.

"Don't be cautious. I have set up seventeen layers of spirit-dispersing formations. No one can hear me if I talk in this tone."

"Master Deng is wise. His subordinates have already done a rough study of the situation in the southern region. If we give it some time tomorrow, we will be able to get a rough idea."

"Does Qiao Anguo have the ambition to separate the southern region and become emperor?"

"It seems that there is not yet. The defense lines are mainly concentrated along the coast. As for why the north has set up multiple defense lines, it should be because bandits have been rampant in recent years. Moreover, the defense lines in the north are mostly scouts and guards. There is no evidence of any disobedience.

heart of."

Deng Shengjie licked it carefully, his tone was joking, and his expression turned cold.

"You are so observant. If everyone were like you, the world would be really peaceful."

Yu Liqing pretended not to hear the sarcasm, pretending to be confused as if he understood, thought about it for a moment, and said in a fake tone.

"What Master Deng means is to teach me some clues. Even if the clues are innocuous, they can still frame Qiao Anguo and escort him back to Yongyao Capital?"

"Enlighten yourself."

"My subordinates resign."

Yu Liqing raised his legs and jumped again, tapped the window edge with his toes, and jumped forward to the corridor pillar. Seeing the servant who turned on the light walk away, he rolled and somersaulted five times in a row and left the front yard of Deng Shengjie's dormitory, avoiding the patrol and the front door.

At the sentry post, he sneaked back to the toilet again, pretending to be healthy and well, and left the toilet. The servant did not become suspicious, but said that Yu Liqing had a bad gastrointestinal problem, his nose was twitching, and he could not smell any peculiar smell. He escorted him back to the house and asked a few thoughtful questions.

, after being politely declined, he closed the door and stood in the courtyard waiting for the summons.

There was no movement that night. Except for the people who stayed up all night to celebrate the Qing'an Festival and caroused outside, Qiaozhuang was eerily silent.

In the next few days, Qiao Bang was dragged by Zhu Hankun to do activities together. Qiao Bang did not expect that he would be pestered by his classmates after leaving the academy. He was used to practicing in the morning, so he did not leave the room for the next few days.

Stay in the house and practice the Beast Absorbing Technique and the Sun-Blocking Hiding Technique. During the time he spent with Zhu Hankun, Qiao Bang never summoned the little meat bag. He did not intend to expose the Glow White Leopard to Zhu Hankun prematurely. After all, he knew about it

The results are still unknown.

Although Qiao Bang had no talent for discerning people, he could see that Zhu Boming seemed to be honest and honest, but he was actually very scheming. If he was deceived by his appearance and plotted by him without knowing it, it would be equivalent to harming the Southern Territory Army.

Feng Muyang's motive for coming here is mostly to join forces. Dinghai Province is actually divided into two areas. One is an area that is not invaded by spiritual beasts. A large number of humans live here. After four human migration movements, the population here has reached 100,000.

The pinnacle of the world is the Southern Territory, where sea spirit beasts frequently appear. The reason why it is called the Southern Territory is because before Qiao Anguo came here, there was basically no one here. There were only sporadic troops guarding here, not so much for defense.

It's better to say it's a matter of luck. If you encounter a sea spirit beast on the shore, you'll fight it. If you don't encounter it, you'll rest where you are and patrol regularly.

Compared with the continuous mountains in the north, the sea area is much wider. The invasion of sea spirit beasts is uncertain and sudden. The previous defense was very chaotic. Most of the factors came from the lack of military pay and uneven food rations.

The casualty rate is high and there is no source of troops.

Now under the control of Qiao Anguo, the Qiao Family Army, which originally had less than 2,000 people, has grown into a Southern Region Army of nearly 20,000 people. It has abundant military pay, sufficient military supplies, a very low fatality rate, and the number of troops is still increasing under control. If this is placed

More than ten years ago, no one expected such a scene. I believe that Emperor Chen’s original intention of sending Qiao Anguofa to the Southern Territory was not to let him grow and develop, but to use the endless stream of sea spirit beasts in the Southern Territory to kill him.

to death.

When Hu Sigui was a general, the corruption and chaos in Dinghai Province was particularly serious. The people's lives were in dire straits, and how could the army have enough supplies? The soldiers worked hard and fought bravely, but in the end they had little money and were dragged down by the current situation.

, there are many people who have no partners in their lives. If Feng Muyang was not elected as the city lord later and killed the six most arrogant corrupt officials with thunderous means, the situation in Dinghai Province would not have improved.

The Imperial Court has never distributed supplies to the Southern Territory. Instead, it has intensified its efforts to increase taxes year by year, shamelessly asking for resources from the Southern Territory Army. Such ridiculous behavior can bring down an army in less than three months in an ordinary army. To put it bluntly, the Imperial Court

Emperor Wei Chen simply didn't want Qiao Anguo to linger, he just wanted to see Qiao Anguo die and die under the sharp teeth and claws of the sea spirit beast.

The Southern Territory can be as big as it is today because of Qiao An's ability to manage the army. He established countless prestige in his early years. Many desperate heroes from all over the world rushed to the Southern Territory. The Southern Territory can be as prosperous as it is today because of Yang Chengfu's reasonableness.

Use the resources of the sea to heal the good-natured spirit beasts that have stranded on the coast and push them back to the sea. They will cook the evil and ferocious sea spirit beasts. All the valuable parts of their bodies will be removed, and the soldiers will become traders.

To supplement the military, the cubs of sea spirit beasts were tamed and a spirit beast park was built for soldiers to contract; the Southern Territory is able to achieve its current prosperity because of Cui Quji's tireless work day and night in refining alchemy, treating diseases, and teaching skills. If the Southern Territory is

Without Cui Quji, dysentery alone can cause countless plagues, so how can we resist the invasion of sea spirit beasts?

Feng Muyang and Zhu Boming are both good at calculation and scheming, but Qiao Bang has lived in Banfeng City for nearly half a year and feels that Feng Muyang's achievements are obvious to all and the people are living a pretty good life. As for Zhu Boming, he has never been to Pinglan Province, but

Looking at the resources Cao Yang donated every time he visited, Qiao Bang felt that the economy of Pinglan Province was far better than that of Dinghai Province. Both masters and servants were good at business. If they knew that the light-chasing leopard could be eaten by its host

If the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures change their attributes into a Glowing Leopard, and then evolve into a Glowing White Leopard that can quickly heal the target, God knows what variables will follow.

Qiao Bang has decided that even if he returns to the academy, he will only reveal the two abilities of the little meat bag, the Forgiveness of Light and the Brilliant Flash, during normal competitions. He will not easily reveal his other abilities to others, especially the Chain of Glow. Qiao Bang plans to go out in the wild

During the survival assessment, he cast it when no one was around. Although the side effects of this chain of radiance were huge, the effect was obvious. Qiao Bang couldn't tolerate a teacher like Wu Jin who stepped forward to be seriously injured again.

The suffering is far greater than the sense of relief that comes from being saved.

Today is the day when the two city lords leave the Southern Territory and return to the cities under their respective jurisdictions. It has been seven days since the Qing'an Festival. Zhu Boming had actually expected it. After all, the two people who accompanied him to the Tianmen asked to come here. At that time, he

It was difficult to refuse, which became the "stepping stone" for Deng Shengjie and Yu Liqing to start their trip to the Southern Territory. Zhu Boming, who knew that he was in the wrong, did not make much noise after arriving in the Southern Territory. He stayed in the dormitory peacefully, and the servants came to serve him before he got up to cooperate.

An Guo invited him to have dinner together, but he pretended to be unwell and asked his eldest son Zhu Guangning and his wife Xu Yuqing to go there. He pretended to be ill and was in bed without leaving the bedroom.

Cui Quji "considerately" sent two disciples of the Bixia Sect to come forward for diagnosis and treatment, and finally prescribed a prescription to treat headaches and brain fever. He announced to the public that Zhu Boming was tired of traveling and traveling, and that he was not accustomed to the climate and climate when he came to the Southern Territory, so he needed to rest and recuperate.

Once you feel light and healthy, you can set off back to Binh Lan Province.

This series of moves are all a cover-up, a trick to fool the two people from Shangtianmen. Although the moves are bad, they have been tried and true. Zhu Boming informed Zhu Guangning of the central idea early on, and letting his wife accompany him was just a help. He wanted to promote the relationship between Pinglan Province and Nan

In order to achieve deeper cooperation between the domains, he also wanted to train his eldest son Zhu Guangning so that he could start to act independently. When things were ready, Zhu Boming wanted to retreat to the second line and push his eldest son to the position of city lord. This was not considered in the Jialuo Empire.

Nothing new, it’s just that there are more objects submitted and the process takes longer.

Feng Muyang was even more low-key here. Wanfeng City was about to be swept by a storm. He made two preparations and passed the information he learned to the staff in Wanfeng City through cipher text, waiting for him to return home before making a decision.

During this period of time, he was thinking a lot about how to reverse the situation in Wanfeng City to the greatest extent. This was one of them. After dinner with Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu, they held a candlelit night talk and did not shy away from the suspicion of going to Tianmen. They finalized the decision.

This is the second part of the conspiracy scheme in Dinghai Province.

When the two city lords came to the Southern Territory, they tacitly agreed not to have too much interaction with each other. At the same time, they also paid attention to propriety and kept a distance from the two people from the Shangtianmen. It was as if both of them came to the Southern Territory to have a vacation and enjoy themselves, and not for other reasons.

.

During this period, the two city lords racked their brains and finally achieved their goal. They negotiated conditions with Qiao Anguo and initially established a plan for the next three years. As for the process, Qiao Bang didn't know anything about it, and he didn't want to know too much at this stage.

Most of them, I just heard some content from the words of Yang Chengfu and Feng Muyang.

"City Lord Feng actually doesn't need to worry about Venerable Na Wu being held accountable, because we don't want to let Han Dongsheng escape unscrupulously. In my opinion, as long as we don't send more people to break into the Han Mansion, he will find an opportunity to escape on his own when the situation is not good.

, we formed a circle around the Han Mansion, loosening it from the outside and tightening it from the inside. It seemed tight but actually left him and his family members a chance to survive, forcing Han Dongsheng into danger, allowing him and the masters in the mansion to hurt people and cause some deaths.

The fake show was really done, and the matter was made big and spread throughout the streets. This will show that the city lord did not neglect the arrest, but did not expect that Han Dongsheng jumped over the wall in a hurry and ignored the majesty of the imperial court. He and the guards of the palace broke through and fled.

City Lord Feng immediately sent someone to Shangtianmen to report the situation, and afterwards he pretended to be miserable and came to punish him personally. City Lord, you have obviously lost a lot of power because of this, so Deng Shengjie will not pursue many more cases, and at the same time, he also spent a few lives to wash away the problem.

Clearing up the relationship between you and Han Dongsheng proves that you and Han Dongsheng have no interest entanglements, and shows that you are not the same person."

"But my Feng family is very small, how could I be so harsh on my family members? Even if this thing is done, it will only increase the number of killings, which is inconsistent with my usual style. I am afraid that Mr. Yang's method is inappropriate."

"Haha, City Lord Feng is overly worried. How can this matter affect the Feng family? Before doing anything, send away the family's personal guards. It is best to find an excuse to let them go to the surrounding areas, and then send some who can't deal with them on weekdays.

Go over and form a circle. If you kill a few stupid young men, you will be more trustworthy, and you will also take the opportunity to kill some soldiers who are usually displeased."

"Let's not mention whether Han Dongsheng will resort to ruthless means to solve the obstacle. How could General Manager Yang think that Han Dongsheng would definitely run away instead of informing his cronies in the imperial court, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and survive this disaster safely?"

"This is the reason why you have not lived in the imperial court for a long time. You and I both understand the principle of people leaving for tea. Han Dongsheng was promoted to the imperial court. That Li Siguan was just a tool to make money. It can be used easily. If you use it,

It feels a little awkward, will you still use it?"

"Mr. Yang is pleased to see that Feng has learned the lesson. But I still have doubts in my heart. If the chess piece goes wrong, I may not be able to secure my position as city lord..."
