"I see." Jiang Fan didn't feel anything wrong with them taking precautions. After all, in this troubled world, absolute trust is still difficult. Now he can truly enter the palace and take charge of Bliss.

"The Privy Secret Palace not only stores these, but also many secrets of dynasties and important people. They are the fruits of hundreds of years in the City of Paradise. Unfortunately, it has undergone great changes many times, and now only ten of these things remain."

Jiang Fan immediately nodded, which was good. Originally, he had been wondering why, although Tianji Pavilion was all-encompassing, it did not record many top secrets as he imagined. It turned out that they were all hidden in the Privy Secret Hall.

"However, you must also pay attention to the fact that time has passed and people and things are changing. Even the things in the Privy Secret Palace can only be used as a reference and cannot be fully adhered to."

Jiang Fan said that he understood that this was a simple truth. Only change is the eternal change. It is better not to believe in secret intelligence records than to believe them completely. People should judge the situation with their own minds.

"Thirdly, there are many treasures and wealth inside, which have been collected by hundreds of years of bliss. In fact, the emperor's grandfather also wanted to get it. After all, this huge wealth will be of great use to the restoration of the Zhou Dynasty."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh, the treasures that the Shadow Guards had plundered for hundreds of years were so amazing, but he didn't expect that they would become his own all of a sudden.

However, the city lord quickly gave up his idea: "Don't think too much. Most of them were taken away by the imperial court before the Shadow Guards defected. In fact, the Paradise City and Tianji Pavilion are both newly built.

It's just an imitation of the original. However, it's still an amazing wealth, but..."

She smiled and said: "In the long run, you will earn more sooner or later. I have no doubt about this. It has only been two years and you are already the richest man in the world."

Jiang Fan said: "This is not my own effort, Ba Qing alone accounted for 60%."

The city lord said: "Everyone is yours, what's the difference? No matter how you get it, you get it."

"Haha..." Jiang Fan didn't want to gossip anymore and said quickly: "Sister will take me to see it later. I really need some information to fill my head."

The city lord nodded: "It's all yours, don't rush it for a while. Since my father has given me the information, there is something important that you need to know first, which is the true origin of Paradise City."

This was precisely what Jiang Fan was most concerned about, so he listened attentively.

"Bliss was built in the 24th year of Zhou Xingyuan. Its predecessor was the personal bodyguard of Emperor Taizu..."

The city lord narrated the story, and Jiang Fan finally understood the past and present life of this dark kingdom.

When Emperor Taizu accepted the abdication, it was actually because of the power in his hands that the Feng family was no longer able to compete with. In order to preserve the fire, Yu Taiyue abdicated and gained a reputation as a protector.

However, Emperor Taizu could not trust the Feng family at all, so he instructed his personal bodyguard commander to establish the Shadow Guard. In addition to eliminating dissidents and performing secret missions, the most important thing was to monitor and restrict the Feng family.

The Shadow Guard has the power to kill first and report later, to carry out special projects alone, and to supervise everything. Since Emperor Taizu, it can be said to be extremely powerful. It is the true shadow empire under the bright and upright image of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But later, with the weakening of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the rise of powerful powers, the heroes of the world could no longer restrain their ambitions. For a time, the world was in chaos and heroes were vying for hegemony.

In order to continue the Great Zhou Dynasty, it had no choice but to enfeoff in various ways, including the previous Qi State, Lu State, Chen State, etc., which were all products of a specific historical period.

In this way, Dazhou forcibly extended his life to the thirteenth year of Jingde. That is, about one hundred and seventy years from today.

At this point, the eighteen princes canonized by the Great Zhou Dynasty finally decided on the five strongest kingdoms after hundreds of years of disputes, which are today's Qin, Jin, Xia, Wei, and Chu.

From then on, the five kingdoms began to compete for supremacy in the world, which was more intense than in the era of the Eighteen Kings.

The then Emperor Xianzong had realized that the Great Zhou Dynasty was in dire straits and could not continue, so he thought hard about ways to survive.

It was during this period that he made a major move to make Shadow Guard independent.

This was actually a huge risk. After all, the Shadow Guards were the most loyal secret guards at that time, and they were also a huge force under the Human Emperor that shocked everyone.

But there was no other way. In order to continue Guo Zuo, Xianzong laid out a century-old plan and designed the Shadow Guards to rebel. At the cost of tens of thousands of heads, he completely drew a clear line with the Shadow Guards so that the world would no longer have any doubts. But what he really did was

The purpose is to retain the power and let the shadow guards secretly take away Xianzong's favorite prince in order to restore the country in the future.

After the defection of the Shadow Guards that shocked the world, the Shadow Guards, under the secret planning of the talented prince, managed to survive in the cracks of the five kingdoms and established the City of Paradise.

At this point, Bliss declares its independence.

Later, with the painstaking support of Xianzong, the Zhou Dynasty miraculously survived for twenty years and entered the Anzong era. This Anzong was the father of Pingzong. Although this man did not have great talents, he was indisputable.

Let everyone feel at ease.

In this process, Bliss shrank overtly and developed secretly, hoping to one day make a comeback and restore the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xianzong's prediction finally came true. Anzong had no great talents, and the Zhou Dynasty was increasingly shaky, losing all its real power. It was even once the most powerful Wei at the time who used the emperor to make the princes a complete puppet.

Seeing that the great Zhou Dynasty was about to be completely destroyed, unexpectedly, seventy years ago, a peerless young talent suddenly appeared. With clever means, he brought this extinguished candle to Taiyue and forcibly continued it to this day.

This young talent is Zhang Zhiling, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms.

Subsequently, Zhang Zhiling traveled to the five countries in the world, trying to regain the Zhou Dynasty by himself, but in the end he was unable to resist the historical trend and left sadly.

However, due to the hard work of him and a group of outstanding people, Da Zhou finally gained a foothold in Taiyue. Although he no longer had real power and became a puppet at the mercy of all parties, it was still better than complete destruction.

Zhang Zhiling's era was the period of Emperor Ping at the end of Anzong. Emperor Ping was different from Anzong. Not only did he have extraordinary intelligence, but he also had a true heart of a human emperor. He also recruited countless heroes like Zhang Zhiling. Who wanted to save the Great Zhou Dynasty?

, it was beyond his power, but in the end, he relied on means to miraculously continue the temple between the Five Kingdoms and the Holy Land, at least achieving nominal destruction.

It's a pity that what Xianzong did back then was too real. Emperor Ping, like Anzong, thought that Ji Le had betrayed the Zhou Dynasty when he needed it most, betraying the trust of all previous emperors. He regarded Ji Le as a traitor, and his hatred even went beyond the blatant self-reliance.

Those disobedient disciples of the king.

But at this time, the prince who had fled was already old. In order to prevent his happiness from deviating, the old prince went through countless observations and tests and finally selected the current prince Ji Zongyi as the secret successor.

But the situation the prince faced was very bad. In order to take over this power without being noticed, the prince followed Xianzong and personally planned a royal incident.
