When the young official left with the investigation plan, Mo Qinggong flipped through the case files piled up on the table, then stood up and walked to the bookshelf next to him, with eyes that could not see much difference from his normal state.
, swept through the densely packed documents.
When the footsteps outside the study gradually faded away, he seemed to have found his target and pulled out several maps about the Chu Dynasty and beyond the Yinshan Mountains from the bookshelf.
…
The sun is about to set, and night is slowly approaching, as if there is a god in the distance, slowly holding a black flag and walking across the sky.
A black carriage slowly drove in from the hill outside the Tiger Wolf Northern Army station. The black carriage faced the dim sky in the distance, seeming to welcome the dark night.
In the central tent of the Tiger and Wolf Northern Army, the light was dim, with only an oil lamp burning.
On a bed covered with ordinary cotton mattresses, a man wearing a yellow python-patterned official robe sat cross-legged with an indifferent expression, listening to the sound of approaching wheels and the sound of war flags outside the tent.
Several strands of condensed heaven and earth energy were suspended outside his body, like several shields and several tombstones.
This man looks to be in his thirties, with a smooth complexion and a topaz-like luster. His forehead is broad and he looks extremely determined. His eyes contain great momentum, and he seems to be able to turn his whole body around at any time.
He holds a military camp in his hands.
This was one of the last generals to gain military power in the Great Qin Dynasty. With full military merit, Liang Lian, the general of the Longhu Northern Army, was the most likely candidate to become a marquis.
After dozens of breaths passed, a masked yellow-robed practitioner quietly walked into the camp and placed two large iron boxes half a man's height beside the bed as if nothing had happened.
She sat on the box and looked at him levelly.
Liang Lian knew that he was from Jiaodong County.
Since Yuanwu ascended the throne and Zheng Xiu officially became the mistress of the entire Qin Dynasty, the color of the yellow robe, which resembles dry soil, has become a unique symbol of the Jiaodong County envoys.
Perhaps for some privileges or to show their distinctive status, these envoys from Jiaodong County never concealed their identities, and they must wear such yellow robes when entering Changling.
In the eyes of many elderly people in Changling, this was even a naked humiliation by Jiaodong County to the old dignitaries of Changling.
Compared to the average person, Liang Lian knew more about the people in Jiaodong County. He knew very well that within the Zheng family, there were also factions divided into factions. There were factions that were completely dependent on Queen Zheng Xiu, and there were factions that relied on seniority.
A faction with great strength and independence.
From some details on the clothes, we can tell that the person standing behind the yellow-robed practitioner in front of him should be a top master with an unknown reputation, the four practitioners from Jiaodong County who Zheng Xiu is most afraid of.
One of them is Zheng Bainiao.
"The Queen asked me to warn General Liang that what you are doing is too simple and crude. Being in Changling is no different from fighting an enemy country. We need gentler methods. The water in Changling is deep. Never think that you can easily crush anyone.
"
The yellow-robed cultivator paused and continued calmly: "However, the opinions given by my family are not like this. In other words, they still support your development in Changling City."
Liang Lian looked at the other party indifferently and said nothing. He only heard the masked man in yellow robe continue: "As long as you use gentle and careful methods to completely capture the power of the two floors without any flaws, then there will be no problem.
."
"Of course, this is mainly your own business, General Liang. How to measure and plan, we will not interfere." Knowing that Liang Lian was eager to expand his influence as a feudal lord, he would not refuse his proposal. This man from Jiaodong County
The practitioner was silent for a moment and said:
"What the family really wants you to do is to take this opportunity to test out the two masters in Baiyangdong, as well as to find out the attitudes of the officials in many princely houses in Changling towards the queen, and to find out from them.
Some cooperation possibilities.”
"Xue Wangxu has actually entered the Seventh Realm. This is something I never thought of before." Liang Lian showed a cautious look on his face and said: "Coupled with another grandmaster Zhao Qing whose strength is still above him,
Even if there is anything involving Baiyang Cave, only one of them should be able to handle it."
"The key lies in the foundation of the strange master." The masked man in yellow robe said: "After the First World War, Xue Wangxu's specific strength has been revealed, and his past experience, personality and temperament have already been recorded in Jiaodong County's data.
"
"But so far, except for the information revealed by Baiyangdong himself, the family knows nothing about Zhao Qing, regardless of his origins, the skills he has practiced, his true combat power, and his temperament and attitude."
"After all, he is a powerful grandmaster who is on par with many princes, or even more powerful. Even if Shendu Supervisor and Supervisor Tiansi can't find anything unusual for the time being, the family is still not at ease and needs more information.
, depict her general appearance.”
"Only by grasping the overall situation of Changling and not exposing any factors that may lead to accidents, can we in Jiaodong County weave an invisible web to arrange everyone's life."
Having said this, the masked man in yellow robe chuckled softly: "Including helping General Liang take the last and most critical step to become the fourteenth prince of the Qin Dynasty."
Liang Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not refute the other party's words that seemed extremely arrogant and wanted to control the government.
On the contrary, as an important military general who had cooperated with Jiaodong County for a long time and a loyal subordinate who served the Queen "wholeheartedly", he understood very well that the Queen's "family" did have such a powerful ability.
Jiaodong County's earliest strategic significance to the entire Qin Dynasty was just a port that could provide abundant seafood to supplement the army's meat supply. Even with the trade of fishing boats and some overseas rare elixirs, Jiaodong County accumulated huge wealth. In the past, Changling dignitaries
In his eyes, the people in Jiaodong County were just country bumpkins, fishermen, and second-rate traders.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But to this day, the entire Qin Dynasty, and even the entire world, has realized how powerful and terrifying Jiaodong County is.
What's scary is that most of Jiaodong County's huge wealth seems to have been used to arrange ears and eyes.
Jiaodong County has various terrifying sources.
Many secret things can be hidden from Shen Du Jian and Jian Tian Si, but not from Jiaodong County.
Jiaodong County pays a certain amount of attention to well-known practitioners, even the rising stars in those places of practice in Changling, including some students who have just started to practice but have performed very well.
There are several warehouses in Jiaodong County, which contain detailed information on many practitioners they pay close attention to.
Especially for the Grandmasters above the Seventh Realm, Jiaodong County has a detailed evaluation.
Many years ago, when Zheng Xiu entered Changling, Jiaodong County made an evaluation of the young talents of the same era as Zheng Xiu. Later, most of these young talents' development trajectories and advancements in cultivation were recorded.
It is very consistent with Jiaodong County’s assessment.
It is precisely with the support of the family of the two major sword sects of Minshan and Lingxu that she has countless plans and is secretly powerful enough to be unimaginable. Empress Zheng Xiu has firmly controlled the affairs of Changling in these years, as if she had received destiny.
The gods are omnipotent.
And Zhao Qing, who appeared out of nowhere, did nothing, but as an unstable factor, and the Baiyangdong where he was located had conflicts with the queen, he had become a thorn in the side of Jiaodong County.
"So, what are the things that require my cooperation?" Liang Lian took a deep breath and asked.
"To put it simply, the family will send several outstanding students to join Baiyang Cave and Ivy Sword Academy." The yellow-robed practitioner said lightly: "Besides, before the Lushan League is officially held, we need to design a
A new grandmaster battle for Zhao Qing to participate in."
"Grandmaster battle?" The guarded look in Liang Lian's eyes flashed away, and he quickly replied: "I shouldn't be Zhao Qing's opponent, and I can't force her to reveal her true identity."
"In the family's established plan, the most you can do is face off against Xue Wangxu, who is in the seventh realm. As for Zhao Qing, whose strength is unknown, there will be others to deal with it." The masked man in yellow robe said: "If necessary, Zheng
Lord Shiratori may personally take action and make the final decision."
Liang Lian looked slightly surprised: "He's actually here too? It seems that no matter what kind of trump cards Zhao Qing has, he will never escape the control of his family."
As the second uncle of Queen Zheng Xiu, Zheng Bainiao is actually the top master of the Seven Realms, and is even the best among them. He is almost comparable to the two. Ordinary Seven Realms like Liang Lian and Xue Wangxu,
I'm afraid it's hard to resist even one move.
Such a big shot quietly left Jiaodong and came to Changling, which undoubtedly showed that Jiaodong County was planning something important during this period.
"By the way, General Liang, the reward for your recent cooperation with the family is in these two boxes." After briefly reminding some matters, the yellow-robed practitioner stood up and prepared to leave, and finally said: "
It may be needed in the next few months."
Before he finished speaking, the other party's figure was no longer in the tent, and the black carriage in the distance began to drive slowly.
Without any hesitation, Liang Lian immediately opened the two large iron boxes brought by the yellow-robed man. What came into view were dark blue metal balls the size of fists, with densely packed runes engraved on the surface.
Recognizing the object on the top of the box, his pupils narrowed slightly unconsciously.
Because these metal balls are obviously the standard ordnance of the Chu Dynasty. They belong to the "Green Gold Killing Ball" series assembled in batches by the Chu Army. They have amazing power to harm practitioners of the Five Realms and Six Realms, and because they are one-time explosions
Artifacts are extremely difficult to imitate.
Underneath these green-gold killing balls, there are many other small symbols of different types, such as pulling strings, air-jumping talismans, etc. Most of them are more functional and lethal than the green-gold killing balls.
Qin sword is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. It is not only the use of swords. The largest number of sword-using sects in the world are gathered in Changling, but also the art of sword refining and sword making.
Except for Zhao Jianlu's several swords that condensed true fire and were forged countless times by powerful practitioners, most of the world's famous swords came from Qin's cultivation place in the past hundred years.
Compared with the Qin sword, the Chu Dynasty's technique of making talisman was the basis for the Chu Dynasty to compete with other dynasties for supremacy.
The nature of the sword embryo is relatively simple, but the making of the runes is more complicated. Carving the runes into an array to attract the vitality of heaven and earth and flowing like the meridians in the body of the practitioner requires not only the ultimate understanding of the runes, but also skills.
The superb casting, seal carving and other methods combine an astonishing number of lines into the square inch, and there is no deviation at all.
Therefore, whether Jiaodong County has mastered the technology to imitate a large number of Chu wares, or through some method, purchased the ordnance reserves of the Chu Dynasty in bulk, this has revealed its strong comprehensive strength.
