Qingzhou, the Su Empire, Zhang Xiaozhu and all his relatives, live or die.
Anyone who captures Zhang Xiaopeng will be rewarded with 500 Star Pills.
Those who apprehend his mother Shen Wenjun will be rewarded with 600 Star Pills.
For apprehending other relatives, the rewards range from fifty to one hundred Star Pills.
Those who harbor and protect will be killed without mercy!
The Shen family's wanted order swept across the entire Jiuzhou in just half a month. The reason was that the reward was so generous that it made all cultivators excited and crazy.
Five hundred or six hundred star pills, this number is an astronomical number that is unimaginable not only for cultivators in the secular world, but also for 99% of cultivators in the world.
At that time, countless cultivators flocked to Qingzhou Dasu Empire.
No one is a fool, and everyone knows that the higher the reward, the higher the risk.
But as the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
There is no shortage of such brave men in Jiuzhou Continent.
Some people who are self-aware have no illusions about the jackpot. Their goal is very clear, and they are going to the relatives of Zhang Xiaopeng's Nine Clan.
The minimum reward is fifty star pills. If you catch any one, you can make a fortune. Maybe you can exchange for a few star pills by catching a maid in Zhang Xiaopou's family.
Therefore, everyone who was moved by the Shen family's wanted order, regardless of their level of cultivation, had a dream of getting rich and rushed straight to Qingzhou Dasu Empire with full confidence.
Snapped!
Su Hanlin slapped the Shen family's wanted order on the dragon case, and the dragon case turned into sawdust with a click.
"The Shen family bullies people too much!" he growled with a livid face.
Su Hui stood aside and knew that Su Hanlin was really angry because the Dragon Case had been slapped by Su Hanlin for decades without being broken into pieces, but today it was feared that it would be broken with a slap.
It's not that Long An is too corrupt to resist the beating, but that Su Hanlin is so angry that he loses control of his power.
"Father, there are countless cultivators coming from all over Jiuzhou to my Da Su." Su Hui was not afraid to speak because of Su Hanlin's anger.
"How do you want to respond?" Su Hanlin asked.
"If we protect Zhang Xiaozu and his mother, then the Dasu Empire will become a killing place. As long as Zhang Xiaozu and his mother are still in the Dasu Empire, and the Shen family's wanted order is still there, then this killing will be
It won't stop."
"Do you mean that Zhang Xiaozhu and his mother should be excluded?" Su Hanlin glanced sideways at Su Hui.
This sight made Su Hui shiver in his heart.
Su Hui took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said: "I must first know what kind of strength we have and whether we can stop the disaster caused by Zhang Xiaopeng, and then we can make a decision."
"What if you can resist one or two?"
"Then let Zhang Xiaozu and his mother return to the imperial capital, and we will defend him from all enemies coming towards him."
"Why?"
"There are two reasons:
First, Zhang Xiaopeng is the queen of the generals. General Zhang died fighting for the empire, and the empire should protect his descendants.
Doing so will not only chill the generals, but also infinitely stimulate the centripetal force of the Imperial soldiers, making them loyal to the Empire from the bottom of their hearts.
Secondly, the Dasu Empire wants to break away from the rule of Chuanshi. This is an opportunity to show its power to Jiuzhou Continent and let everyone in Jiuzhou Continent know that the Dasu Empire is inviolable.
If we can withstand the Shen family's attack on Zhang Xiaozu, Wentian Sect will naturally stop."
"What if we are unable to resist?"
Su Hui said without hesitation: "Then we can only exclude Zhang Xiaozhu and his mother, unless the father wants the Su Empire to bury Zhang Xiaozhu and his mother together."
"Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers on the battlefield by shutting Zhang Xiaopou and his mother out?"
"If you want to incriminate yourself, why not make up a few unforgivable charges. The soldiers will not have any objections after hearing this." Su Hui lowered his head and said.
After a pause, he continued: "Maybe we can take this opportunity to make friends with the Shen family of Zhongzhou, use their power to check and balance the Wentian Sect, and buy time for the empire to grow."
Su Hanlin was silent for a while, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "You must ask your younger brothers and sisters to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible."
"Ah, why?" Su Hui was surprised and confused.
Su Hanlin stared into Su Hui's eyes and said word by word: "I'm afraid that if they walk too slowly, they will all be confused by you."
Su Hui trembled with fright, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and said in fear: "My son, I will never dare to do the immoral thing of fratricide."
"Get up. I don't mean to blame you. I mean that you are already capable of succeeding to the throne. You... your wings are strong."
"My father's words scared me, and I am very frightened and uneasy." Su Hui knelt on the ground with his whole body, but he couldn't help but feel a little joy in his heart.
"Get up." Su Hanlin stood up and took a step forward, stretched out his hand to help Su Hui up, and then walked towards the window. As he walked, he asked: "How is your uncle Zhang's funeral arrangements going? How long will it take for the general's mausoleum to be buried?
Can it be completed?"
Ten days ago, bad news came from Northern Xinjiang. Butcher Zhang’s soul lamp in Eternal City was extinguished.
When the lamp goes out, people die.
Guowei Mansion is busy with his funeral affairs.
"It will take half a month at the fastest." Su Hui replied.
"Hurry up."
"yes."
Su Hanlin stood by the window, looking at the gloomy sky, and said, "Look at the day, it seems like it's going to snow."
"Perhaps Snow from Northern Xinjiang came to see Uncle Zhang off."
"Haha, if your Uncle Zhang hears this, he will be sore that his teeth will fall out." Su Hanlin laughed dumbly, then walked towards the door and said: "Let's go, I will take you to see my confidence, and then you
Let’s decide whether to protect Zhang Xiaozhu’s mother and son.”
Su Hanlin led Su Hui to his palace and walked deep underground through a secret passage.
The end of the secret passage was not a secret room, but a door to space. Su Hui followed Su Hanlin and walked in. The gorgeous scenery that burst into his field of vision stunned him.
I saw the light of stars in the sky and under my feet, as if I had stepped into the bright starry sky world.
Su Hanlin stepped on the stars and walked forward. After Su Hui woke up from the shock, he quickly followed.
After walking about a thousand steps forward, Su Hanlin stopped and saw an abyss of stars in front of him.
Su Hui followed up, poked his head forward slightly, and curiously looked into the abyss of stars.
I saw an extremely huge yellow dragon, coiled at the bottom of the abyss, with its eyes closed, as if sleeping.
From the starlight in all directions, a large amount of yellow crystal light was flying out, and then fell on Huang Long.
Su Hui felt that the yellow dragon under the abyss was made of these yellow crystal lights, and as the yellow crystal lights continued to pour out and fall, its body and strength were constantly growing.
"Father, what is this?!" Su Hui asked in shock as he looked at the sleeping Huang Long.
"Huanglong."
Su Hui said nothing, waiting for Su Hanlin's more detailed introduction.
"Everyone in the world knows about the four holy beasts: green dragon, white tiger, Xuanwu and Suzaku, but few people know that there is a yellow dragon holy beast above the four holy beasts, which is revered as the head of the holy beasts.
My ability to defeat powerful enemies in troubled times and finally ascend to the supreme throne is largely due to the help of the sacred beast Huanglong."
"Father, are you the guardian of the Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast?" Su Hui asked in surprise.
"Yes and no."
"What does this mean?"
"The guardian of the Yellow Dragon Holy Beast is dead. I inherited his will. Although I am not the guardian of the Yellow Dragon, I can command the Yellow Dragon Holy Beast."
"Father, do you mean that this Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast can withstand the wrath of the Shen family?"
"I can use the power of Huanglong to kill the saint."
Su Hui was so shocked that his mouth opened wide enough to stuff his fist.
"But I can only summon the power of the Yellow Dragon within the Dasu Empire. I cannot summon it beyond the scope of the Dasu Empire."
"Why is this?"
"Because this yellow dragon is the yellow dragon of the people of Dasu.
In fact, Huanglong is both a real dragon and not a real dragon. He is formed from the wishes of the people.
Look at those little golden lights, they are the support and will of many people in the Su Empire for me.
In other words, the more I allow the people to live a good life, and the more I let the people sincerely love and support me, the stronger their will will be, and the stronger my yellow dragon will be, and vice versa.
This is somewhat similar to the power of incense in Buddhism and Taoism. The more people who pray and burn incense, the stronger the deity being worshiped will gain. Buddhists and Taoists can summon the power of the gods for their own use."
Su Hui nodded understandingly.
"So, as long as you, and the descendants of the Su family, are wise kings who are loved and supported by the people, then the Yellow Dragon Holy Beast will protect our Su family for generations. On the contrary, when the Yellow Dragon Holy Beast leaves, it will be the moment of our Su family's defeat."
"My son, please remember that you will be like your father and be a wise king who makes a living for the people of the world." Su Hui said excitedly.
"You don't need to rack your brains to be a wise master. In fact, as long as the people are fed and hungry, you will be a wise master. I haven't done it yet, I hope you can do it." Su Hanlin said.
"My son will live up to his father's expectations."
"So you decide whether to allow Zhang Xiaozhu and his son to enter the country?"
"My son does not dare to overstep his bounds. Please let your father make a decision."
"On the fifteenth day of this month, I will give way to you. This will be the first major event and the first severe test after you succeed to the throne, so you make the decision."
Su Hui's eyes widened, and he was shocked for a long time before he realized what was happening. He knelt down in a hurry and thanked him: "Thank you, father, for your kindness!"
In the afternoon of that day, a piece of news spread from the Dasu Imperial Palace to all directions.
Zhang Qingsong, the king of Zhenbei, died in battle, and his son Zhang Guangyao inherited his title. He named Zhang Guangyao's wife, Zhang Shen, a first-class royal wife, named Zhang Xiaopeng a marquis, and granted her permission to move into the Guowei Mansion.
Although the first sentence of this news is shocking, it is not as shocking as the last sentence.
By allowing Zhang Xiaozu to move into the Guowei Mansion, in other words, the Su Empire wanted to protect Zhang Xiaozu and his family members. This meant that they were going against the Shen family of Zhongzhou.
Along with this news, there was also an order, ordering local officials to bury road signs at large and small intersections in their jurisdictions, and use ink pens to mark the direction of the Imperial Palace.
This is to tell cultivators from all continents who are new to the Great Su Empire not to take the wrong path.
"Ahem..."
In Qingyun Mountain, Sanqing Temple, Yu Chengyang looked at the stars in the sky and sighed: "What is supposed to come has come. Zhang Butcher defied heaven three times and failed in the end.
Hey, the old Taoist will stop struggling and die early and be reborn early.
If you walk faster, you might be able to catch up with the old butcher on the Huangquan Road. If the old butcher is shocked, the Lord of Hell may give you some preferential treatment."
