Crescent City did not open its city gates after dawn the next day, and the entire city began to enforce martial law. Shops were not allowed to open, and the streets were cleared. For a while, the entire capital seemed extremely strange and quiet.
Huo Su came back at noon the next day, and shortly after his return, an imperial edict came from the palace, conferring many titles on Huo Su and awarding him many treasures.
The unlearned and incompetent prince of the empire was able to catch an enemy spy. His majesty of the Crescent Empire would reward him no matter what. After all, his son was enlightened and his father was also happy.
In the afternoon and evening, after Huo Su and Chu Lipan conspired for another two hours, they entered the palace again to meet the saint. And this time he presented a jade slip, and the content in the jade slip was astonishingly:
Zhang Baotu.
Yes, Huo Su claimed that when he was walking on the street, he saw a vendor and bought an antique porcelain vase from the vendor. But after he accidentally broke the porcelain vase yesterday, he actually found a jade slip, and the jade slip was
There was actually a treasure map hidden in the slip. The treasure map pointed to a water cave under the Xia Dong River. In that water cave, it turned out to be the place where a senior practiced practice.
After the emperor of the Crescent Empire got Huo Su's jade slips, he was shocked. There were ancient ruins at the bottom of the Xia Dong River. This was incredible. What were the ancient ruins? That was a great treasure, so Huo Su's father immediately went there in person.
Look for.
Huo Su's cultivation level was too low and he offered to contribute to the empire, so he didn't go along!
Two days later, Huo Su's father returned, and immediately summoned Huo Su to the temple to meet the saint, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were also summoned.
Huosu's father didn't say anything about the reason. He asked Huosu what reward he wanted in the hall, and his father would give him whatever he wanted.
Huosu claimed that he was ignorant and unskilled before, and felt ashamed of his ancestors and his father. One day, he suddenly dreamed that he was aging, but thinking about his past and present life, he had accomplished nothing, so he asked his father to let him go.
He trained on the front line, that is, in the garrison at Summer River, served the empire, and died.
Huo Su's father's name was Huo Yuanfei. After hearing his second son's request in tears in the palace, his eyes were red with emotion, and he immediately decided to appoint Huo Su as the forward deputy general to participate in important military affairs.
.
On the fifth day, Huosu personally led his family to leave the capital and go to the banks of the Xia Dong River.
Of course, there are also three people in disguise among his generals, one is Yang Zhen, one is Chu Lipan, and the other is Jin Juhua. As for Chu Bai, he went to the bottom of the Xia Dong River and never came back. Huo Su also
Don't know where he went.
"Master, I'm very curious. With the strength of the master and the two seniors, they should be able to defeat my father and the few surviving pavilion elders, but why are they so slow to take action? Instead, they want to give my father an immortal
Where is the weapon?"
That's right, the treasure map presented by Huo Su, which was among the remains of his predecessors, actually contained a fairy sword. This was one of the important reasons why Huo Yuanfei began to dote on his second son.
Of course, Huo Su also knew that this was a series of games, and the master did not hesitate to use fairy weapons as bait for this game.
"It's easy to kill a few people, but it's difficult to control an empire and people's hearts. Now that you kill the prince and your father, you may not be directly pushed to the front desk. After all, you have other brothers, and there are many other brothers.
If you are better than you, how can the civil servants and generals of the dynasty trust you, an ignorant person, to be the king of a country? So we are not in a hurry, this is just the beginning, you just need to act according to our plan.
"
"What I want is a complete Crescent Empire, a Crescent Empire that the people want, not a mess." Chu Lipan sighed.
"I understand, but I'm still worried. My father is already at the ninth level of transcending tribulations. After getting the immortal sword, I'm afraid he will become a loose immortal in a few days. If he becomes a loose immortal by then, I'm afraid...
I'm afraid it will be even harder to deal with!" Huo Su glanced at Yang Zhen and Jin Ju, and he knew that both of them were immortals.
"Haha, don't talk about one calamity, so what if it's five calamities? You just need to accumulate military merits now, and then spread your reputation."

At the same time, Chu Bai was currently traveling around the various continents of the Crescent Empire. According to their plan, Huo Su’s reputation was to be built up in the next year, so he was assigned a hard job, which was to go to the Crescent Empire.
Go to various mountain villages or towns in the empire to find the orphans of those fallen soldiers of the Crescent Empire, and then give some money to the orphans of these fallen soldiers in the name of Hosu.
This is the idea put forward by Mr. Chu. If you want to quickly change Huo Su's bad reputation, you can only start from the bottom and bribe the families of those sergeants. In this case, Huo Su will have a great reputation among the people, and will eventually be
The civil servants and generals of the empire knew it.
The time limit they agreed on was one year, and after one year, the real war would begin.
Of course, Chu Bai was not in a hurry to leave this summer star. Although he wanted to take a look at the core of the Liuyun Galaxy and find Jiang Dongxue and Lan Meng, he still had to help Chu Lipan unify the planet, at least until
Only the foundation of the Chu Dynasty can be laid.
Half a year later, in the northern part of the Crescent Empire, Snow Valley.
This Snow Valley is actually a small town, covering some villages, and the reason why he came to Snow Valley is because on his list, there is a descendant of a marshal who died in the empire living here.
At this time, he was wearing a thick layer of black fur and a dog-skin hat, walking alone on the thick snow.
In fact, he has been walking around this continent for the past six months. When he is thirsty, he eats snow, and when he is hungry, he goes to a noodle shop in a small town to eat some noodles.
He regards himself as an ordinary person, because he has been running around for many years, always living with his heart on his mind, and has never truly relaxed.
In the past six months, he has been in contact with orphans, some are old people, some are orphans or widows, etc. As he comes into contact, he sometimes becomes sentimental. In fact, no matter where he is, the lowest level
Common people are the most honest, they are easily satisfied and don't have too much greed.
So in the past six months, he has gained a lot of insights, and it seems that his state of mind has been qualitatively improved.
At some point, he fell in love with this business. He liked to see himself delivering spiritual stones or gold to the hands of the orphans, seeing their faces crying and laughing, drinking their home-brewed wine of gratitude, and eating their food.
Simple meals.
There is a Jiangjia Village in the Snow Valley, and the same surname as Jiang Dongxue is Jiang. In this Jiangjia Village, there was once a very popular and supreme figure, Jiang Heshan, a big shot who had great power and knew everything.
This Jiang Heshan was the fallen marshal. It was rumored that he had been to the depths of the Liuyun Galaxy and had also entered the Liuyun Temple, the highest academy in the Liuyun Star. He was a serious student of the Temple and joined the Temple after he came out of the Temple.
A high-ranking member of the empire eventually became a marshal, and his cultivation reached the seventh level of Tribulation Transcendence. The reason why he died was because he was first poisoned and then killed by conspiracy and calculations by enemy spies!
After finding the Jiang family and explaining his purpose, he received a warm reception. The Jiang family had declined. Shortly after Jiang Heshan's death, the family moved out of the capital and returned to the village. Decades later, Jiang Heshan's wife had long since
He died, and even several of his sons were killed in the battle, and those left behind by the Jiang family were mostly widows and children. Up to now, there are only two men in the entire Jiang family compound, one of whom is an old servant without an arm.
One is Jiang Heshan's only surviving grandson, who is only eighteen years old.
"Sir, are you sent by Prince Su?" The person who spoke was Jiang Zhongyuan, an eighteen-year-old boy who also had a cultivation level, Yuanying Xiaoxiu, but the old servant always stood beside Jiang Zhongyuan, hugging him
body.
"Well, the prince used to be disrespectful and uneducated. One day, after waking up from a dream, he repented. Now he was fighting on the south bank of the river. However, before the prince went to the battlefield, he sent us out to disperse the family wealth.
So we divided our troops into several groups and distributed the prince's savings over the years to the orphans of the soldiers who died in the war. It was more or less the prince's wish." Chu Bai was not humble and did not say a word. He had already opened his mouth to say this.
Come on, he has said too many things like this in the past six months.
Of course, at this time, he was also looking at the one-armed old servant with great interest, because the old servant's cultivation level was actually at the eighth level of transcending tribulation.
That's right, a person who had transcended the eighth level of tribulation was actually working as a servant in this remote place, so he was very curious. This old servant was not mentioned in the previous information.
"Your Majesty is so honorable and honest, what a blessing to the empire!" At first glance, this young man is a member of a well-read poetry and well-mannered family. He is not arrogant at all, but on the contrary, he is very humble and polite.
"The empire is what it is today, thanks to the soldiers on the battlefield. Therefore, the prince specially ordered that the soldiers who died in the battle should not be left with a cold heart. They must take good care of their relatives left in the world."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Zhongyuan stood up and bowed to the south.
"Well, sir, you have come a long way. Let's stay in a humble house for a few days before leaving. I have been living in the north of the Snow Valley for a long time and have no information. I also want to hear interesting stories about the empire, the war in the south, etc. I hope that sir can enlighten me."
Chu Bai laughed: "Okay, let's stay here for a few days, and I want to eat snow rice balls. The further north I go, the more delicious the snow rice here is."
"Haha, there are as many snow rice balls as you want. I'm afraid I'll overwhelm you. Uncle Jun, go to the kitchen and bring the snow rice wine that grandpa has collected. Sir, he has traveled thousands of miles to do good deeds. I want to have a discussion with him today.
Only when you are drunk can you rest.”
"Yes." The one-armed old man bowed, but he did not leave. Instead, his lips moved slightly, as if he was giving instructions to the kitchen through sound transmission.
Chu Bai watched this scene with interest, while Jiang Zhongyuan also smiled faintly, as if he didn't mind the one-armed old man giving orders in this way.
Just when the one-armed old man relaxed again, Chu Bai sighed: "I heard that Jiang Shuai once entered the Liuyun Temple and was a student of the Temple. I am also very curious about the Temple, but I know nothing about it.
, I wonder if Mr. Jun knows the situation in the temple?" He also got straight to the point. Both sides have seen the other's cultivation, so there is no need to hide it.
After listening to Chu Bai's words, the one-armed old man suddenly raised his head and frowned: "Who are you? Don't say you are Huo Su's retainer. I don't believe it. Tell me why you are here."
The real destination, otherwise don’t even think about leaving Jiangjiazhuang!”
