Chapter 1173 The Return of the Emperor (3)
Before Song Zheng left Xionghu City, the news of the return of the Emperor Defeator had already spread. To be precise, after the first group of people from Piaomiao City fled back, the top brass of the Twelve Imperial Cities already knew about it.
But eighty years have passed, and the younger generation has no idea of the fear of being dominated by the Emperor.
When the new generation surpasses their ancestors in strength, they will inevitably be arrogant and even arrogant. The "Emperor Showdown" feared by their ancestors always wants to challenge them and firmly believes that they can win to prove that they are the members of the family.
The strongest among the bloodline.
After Song Zheng rested for two days, the two children already didn't want to leave.
This world has gone through eighty years of development, and all kinds of delicacies have emerged one after another. Xionghu City is prosperous and prosperous, and Su Yunji leads them to eat from the streets to the alleys every day, enjoying themselves.
The saints bid farewell to the master together. Huang Shan was particularly reluctant to leave and felt very uneasy. He repeatedly told Su Minglun: "You must take good care of the master. We can no longer serve the master by his side. It's all up to you."
Su Minglun is the grandson of Su Yunji, so he cannot be regarded as a "country boy", but after all, he is not a biological grandson, and his previous knowledge was limited. Today, seeing all the saints in the world come to say goodbye to the master, they are all extremely humble. To this day, they still regard themselves as domestic slaves.
Only then did he truly understand what kind of future Grandma Tang had arranged for him!
This shit... is so scary. Fortunately, I was very obedient before. I did whatever my grandma said and I didn't offend the master.
When Qiu Changtian saw Su Minglun following the master, he became angry for a while and prepared to go back and beat up the unlucky child. But he was also worried that Ming Yuanyuan would not agree, so he suffocated himself for a while.
Song Zheng waved his hand: "Go back, you all. You all have a big business. You have been here with me for the past few days. The house is going to be a mess. Go back quickly."
"Yes." Everyone agreed. Song Zheng turned around to leave, but suddenly a huge silver-white flying shuttle came quickly from a distance. With a huge sound of breaking through the air, it came to the top of everyone's heads in the blink of an eye, and then the flying shuttle
It spurted out strong winds in the opposite direction, and the machine that was dozens of feet in length stopped, stopped above everyone's heads, and then landed smoothly.
Qiu Changtian and the others had ugly expressions on their faces, snorted coldly, and did not even look at the man who came out of the shuttle.
Xuan Zhigu.
Compared with eighty years ago, Xuan Zhigu has a layer of white frost on his temples. He was originally handsome, but now he has a more mature charm.
He stepped off the shuttle, carefully lifted up his robe, knelt down to Song Zheng, and kowtowed three times: "Master, you are back."
Qiu Changtian couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You're late, the matter here has been settled."
Xuan Zhigu glanced at him and said as stubbornly and rigidly as before: "Su Yunji's matter has nothing to do with me. I am the master's slave, not her Su family."
"She, Su Yunji, sent a message asking me to come. It's not like I sent a message asking me to come. Why should I interfere with her business? If you have this time, why don't you study more about weapons."
"Qiu Changtian, you are distracted and waste too much energy on irrelevant things, so you will never be able to surpass me."
Qiu Changtian jumped up: "What did you say? I have surpassed you a long time ago. I spanked you so hard that you made your ass pee. How dare you say that I didn't win that match?"
"That's because I'm helping you, not your true level." Xuan Zhi Gu remained calm, but with just a few words, he made Qiu Changtian's mouth full of smoke.
Song Zheng stopped the two of them: "That's enough!"
He couldn't deny that what Xuan Zhigu said was reasonable. Although it was unreasonable, this was Xuan Zhigu. Besides, he had no intention of punishing Xuan Zhigu from the beginning, let alone now.
He glanced at Xuan Zhigu's shuttle and found that it was indeed a magical weapon.
"Leave this thing behind and go back by yourself." Song Zheng was worried that he had no means of transportation. After all, riding a sky bird was not as comfortable as this magical weapon.
"Yes." Xuan Zhigu nodded and accepted the order.
Song Zheng glanced at everyone and ordered: "I have something for you to do." He gave a general description of the situation of Tianhuo. Back then, this monster slaughtered villages and cities at every turn. Even after eighty years, he wanted to
It shouldn't be difficult to figure out his general whereabouts back then.
Everyone nodded repeatedly: "We will try our best to search for him."
They were quite excited. It was good news to know that they were still useful to the master.
Song Zheng took the people on the shuttle and waved to everyone outside: "Let's all disperse. Qiu Changtian, you are not allowed to play with Xuan Zhigu."
The shuttle closed and slowly rose. Then it stopped for a moment above everyone's heads. Suddenly, special flames swept out, wrapping the shuttle completely, and huge spiritual energy continued to vibrate and surge. In an instant,
During this time, this shuttle was upgraded to another level.
Then, the shuttle turned into a stream of light with a whooshing sound, and disappeared in an instant.
There was a look of reverence in Xuan Zhigu's eyes. The flying shuttle was the masterpiece of his current weapon skills, but the master just dealt with it casually and upgraded it to a higher level.
"The master is still the master after all!" he said sincerely.
There was no one around to talk to him, just as Song Zheng judged: This was Xuan Zhigu, but it was unreasonable.
Zhao Mang walked past him proudly, pulled off a small shield from his body and threw it at Xuan Zhigu's feet. Xuan Zhigu was stunned. He made this for Zhao Mang when he was in Piaomiao City.
.After so many years, with Zhao Mang's strength, he should have no need for this kind of protective gear, but he still wears it with him...
Now, I have given it back to myself.
He frowned, but still said nothing.
Qiu Changtian exclaimed proudly: "I am alone, without friends or lovers, so I will live my whole life with your weapons."
Xuan Zhigu said calmly: "That's what I wish for."
Everyone shook their heads and dispersed. Xuan Zhigu did not enter Xionghu City, but walked into the wasteland.
Zhao Mang did not leave and lived in Xionghu City. The saints all have their own foundations. Zhao Mang built a main city of Hualong City and seven acropolis; he founded the "Tiandao Wushe" with three thousand disciples.
.He let it go for the time being and lived quietly in Xionghu City.
Su Yunji felt something keenly, but there was some hesitation in her heart and she never expressed anything.
…
Wang Jiu sat in the shuttle, looking here and touching there, and curled his lips: "It's too elementary."
"Scholar, where should we go next?"
"Go to Yong'an City."
Even after Song Zheng's modification, the speed of the shuttle was far less than their flying speed. It took them three full days to fly outside Yong'an City. Song Zheng landed the shuttle in advance, and everyone walked
Entered Yong'an City.
Compared with 80 years ago, Yong'an City has not changed much, but it is more prosperous. Yong'an City can no longer accommodate such a large population, so an acropolis was built seven miles outside the city.
The inspection of entry and exit at the city gate was obviously much stricter. Wang Jiu sneered and said, "Scholar, I am guarding against you."
Song Zheng was noncommittal and told Su Minglun: "After you settle down, go and find out who is in power in Yong'an City now."
There is no need to inquire about the general situation. Su Minglun has also heard: "The true emperor of Yong'an City has not changed. He is still leaning eastward eighty years ago."
Xiangdong Qing was the one who was known as the "Determiner of the Emperor" during the Song Dynasty. He ended the flow of the predecessor Yong'an True Emperor to the east and supported Xiangdong Qing to come to power.
"However, about forty years ago, His Excellency Mao Yonggong died mysteriously. After that, the power of the Imperial City Division was not as strong as before. In the past twenty years, the Imperial City Division's tolerance has almost disappeared."
"After the death of Duke Maoyong, Quan Heyi lived in seclusion. I haven't heard from her for a long time. I don't know if she is still alive."
Su Minglun hurriedly found an inn to stay, and then went out to find out the news without stopping. Song Zheng explained that he would focus on asking for information about Quan Heyi.
After all, they are old friends.
It was not until evening that Su Minglun came back. Knowing what Song Zheng was concerned about, he immediately said: "I have found out that Quan Heyi is still alive and living by the Huanhua River outside the city.
The Imperial City Division has ceased to exist in name only and is now just an empty shell.
Xiangdong Qing newly formed Shuanggewei to completely replace the Imperial City Division, but the authority of Shuanggewei is limited to Yongan City and will no longer interfere with other imperial cities."
Song Zheng listened quietly. He knew that the Imperial City Secretary and Quan Heyi lost their power, and the root cause was himself. Xiang Dongqing also did not want the Emperor to exist, even if he came to power because of the Emperor.
"The current commander of Shuangge Guard is Yuwen Taihao. He is the father-in-law of Xiangdong Qing. It is said that he has surpassed the level of Immortal Saint ten years ago and is known as the most powerful person in Yong'an City."
"There has recently been another Immortal Saint level powerhouse in Yong'an City, Long Beishan, who has not appeared for a long time. I estimate that he may be one of the twelve Immortal Saints who colluded with Bei Xiongwu to besiege the master."
"In addition to these two people, there is also an Immortal Saint King Sheri in Yong'an City. He is the commander-in-chief of the Yong'an City Guards. There is also news that he has actually surpassed the Immortal Saint.
These three people are called the three martial kings of Yong'an City."
Song Zheng nodded and asked, "How has Xiang Dongqing been doing over the years?"
"His reputation among the people is not bad. During this time, he is busy with the marriage arrangements for his children. He wants to marry his third daughter to Feng Baili, the new city lord of Hurricane City thousands of miles away; he also wants to marry Piaomiao for his eldest son.
Jiu Xiong Jiaojiao, the youngest daughter of Jiu Xiong Po Lei, the third city lord of the city."
He saluted Pan Feiyi again and said: "Piaomiao City was reorganized after driving away the saints. The people in charge are seven city lords. The higher the ranking, the greater the power in the city."
Pan Feiyi sneered: "Nonsense."
Song Zheng asked: "Is he so anxious to unite Zonglianheng because he feels threatened and wants to stabilize his throne through marriage?"
Su Minglun said: "These are small things that cannot be found out at the moment. If the master needs it, I will go out tomorrow and use some of the power of the Su family to find the answer for the master."
