The death of several princes in battle was a huge shock. In the end, the Emperor was alerted and personally investigated the incident.
Five days later, the Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of War, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony posted an obituary:
In order to prevent the Fangwai sect from seizing ferocious beasts, the essence and blood of mythical beasts, and harming the great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court sent Yingwu Hou Yang Hong and the thirteen princes to stop it. Unexpectedly, thirteen princes including Yan Yue Hou and Ba Xia Hou died in the battle.
Da Zhou sacrificed his life!
This is the misfortune of the imperial court, the misfortune of the country, and the whole country is sad. According to the etiquette, he should be given a state funeral!
Yang Hong, the Yingwu Marquis, and Liu Che, the Thirteenth Prince, followed the imperial decree and led this operation, but they did not know the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and there was an oversight! Thirteen princes died in the battle, and the two of them could not escape the blame.
Therefore, the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che was assigned to serve in the army for three months, while Yang Hong, the Marquis of Yingwu, temporarily reduced the title of Marquis of Wu and was assigned to the mines and served in the army for three months!
Fang Yun looked at the content of the obituary in his hand, sent by Mozi from Shangjing City, and remained silent.
The "civil and military separation" system of the Great Court has weakened the imperial power a lot. But it does not mean that the Human Emperor is an empty shell. The intervention of the Human Emperor can still affect the results of this investigation. Of course, this is also because in the ancient battlefield
It is impossible to investigate the matter at all. The Ministry of War, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and even the Military Aircraft Department want to investigate and collect evidence. It is simply impossible. They need to wait for thirty-six years, until Tiangang and the Earthly Evil Stars gather again, and it will be possible again.
In Dazhou, the sectarian monks were like demons and evil spirits, and what they said was completely untrustworthy! Therefore, this is a matter that has no proof.
However, to be fair, this result is considered acceptable. Yang Hong and Liu Che each received a slap in the face, and both sides were punished! And from the information collected by Mozi, the eldest sons of the princes who died in the battle were all given the title of earl.
This kind of treatment was originally only available to nobles and marquises.
"These princes were all transferred by the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che. That's why the joint investigation by the Sixth Department, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Military Aircraft Department only looked for Liu Che. But now, Yang Hong was actually added to it. He was also punished.
He served in the mines. Since ancient times, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. It seems that the divine grace that Yang Hong has received is not as simple as I imagined."
In Fang Yun's view, things on the ancient battlefield may not necessarily be hidden from the Human Emperor. Yang Hong was originally just a chess piece in the hands of the Human Emperor, but now this chess piece actually killed a titled prince of the imperial court without authorization. This
It has gone beyond the control of the controller. Therefore, it must be punished.
However, Yang Hong obviously still has value. He can still be used as a sword in the hands of the Human Emperor, so he cannot die yet.
With this move, the Emperor of Humanity not only knocked down Yang Hong so that he did not dare to act recklessly, but also appeased the Confucianists and military strategists, shifted the responsibility to the Fangwai sect, and gave the world an explanation. At the same time, he proposed the eldest son of the dead prince as the
The earl once again showed great kindness from the emperor, which made these princes and heirs shed tears of gratitude.
As the current Human Emperor, the one in the Central Purple Qi Palace is much more powerful than the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che in terms of the emperor's mental skills.
Yang Hong, as a Marquis of Wu, was punished to serve in the mines, and he lost all face. Fang Yun was naturally happy to see this scene, but the Thirteenth Prince Liu Che was punished to be sent to the border for three months, which was not good news.
Already.
"As soon as the Thirteenth Prince leaves, my trip to Da Yingzhou will probably be put on hold. As for within three months, there is no hope. This is not good news."
Fang Yun held the letter from the capital on the table and fell into deep thought.
"Da da da!"
There was a sound of brisk footsteps, and Fang Yun put away the letter. He leaned on the back of the wide chair and looked at the door with a smile.
"come in."
The study door opened. Yin Weiliang, dressed in military uniform, walked in with a smile.
"How about it? Young Lord Marquis, have you considered it? As long as you promise to give me 50% of the refined elixir, I will use the top-grade Yunding in the Shenxing Sect to collect all the spiritual flowers and herbs for you.
All are refined into elixirs. You must know that the elixirs refined from the elixir cauldron of our ancient Shenxing Sect can increase the medicinal properties by more than 40%. For ordinary people, it is impossible to ask for it. You can consider it
alright."
This is not the first time Yin Weiliang has asked. The spiritual flowers and herbs in Fang Yun's space bags are obviously very attractive to her.
"Don't think about it. I won't agree to this kind of thing."
Fang Yun waved his hand and refused, then casually took the military official documents aside and started reading.
When Yin Weiliang heard the same words again, he gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't beat Fang Yun. The light in his eyes changed, and Yin Weiliang gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he had made a great determination:
"Four percent!"
"Half done!"
Fang Yun suddenly raised his head, a smile flashing across his eyes.
"Impossible! This is a top-quality elixir cauldron. Although the spiritual flowers and herbs you collected are rare, they are far from being comparable to the top-quality elixir cauldron. What's more, this top-quality elixir cauldron can be refined every time it is refined.
A furnace of elixirs consumes one medicine crystal!"
Yin Weiliang is much smarter now.
"It's impossible, forget it." After Fang Yun finished speaking, he lowered his head.
"Okay, 30%! It can't be any less. It will take me at least three months to refine a medicine from a space bag of magical flowers and herbs. I can't possibly do it in vain!"
"10%!" Fang Yun raised a finger: "Although other sects don't have Yao Crystal, your ancient Shenxing Sect still has it. Although I don't know what it is. But, you dare to use it to practice the general level
The elixir is certainly not that precious. It is possible that you can refine it directly, but you must use the special magic of your ancient Shenxing Sect."
Fang Yun has read "Modern Era" and knows that not all crystals are naturally generated. Some crystals are refined by warriors. However, these crystals generally have extremely high requirements for the refiners.
.And it usually takes a lot of time.
"You!" Yin Weiliang's heart skipped a beat, and she felt guilty. Fang Yun, this guy, is too shrewd to be fooled.
"No. If I refine one space bag, I won't be able to do anything else for at least three months. If it's 10%, I'll be at a huge disadvantage!" Yin Weiliang said.
"Then how many do you want?"
Fang Yun was not very persistent this time.
Yin Weiliang struggled with her eyes and gritted her teeth: "One and a half percent! It can't be any less, otherwise, I won't want it either!"
Fang Yun laughed: "Okay."
The alchemy cauldron has no offensive power. The so-called exquisite product is only reflected in the bonus of medicinal properties. If the medicinal herbs in the space bag can be refined with the ancient Shenxing Sect's alchemy cauldron, the medicinal properties will definitely be greatly increased.
He originally promised to give her 20%. Unexpectedly, Yin Weiliang only wanted 15%, but instead saved Fang Yun half. Now, even if Yin Weiliang is greedy for a little bit while refining, he will give her 20%.
Yep, he can just turn a blind eye. Anyway, no matter how greedy he is, he can't be greedy even half as much.
"It's still the young Marquis, what a shame!" Yin Weiliang said angrily.
"Aren't you still a prince named by the imperial court?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, not angry at all. Yin Weiliang was the only female queen of the Zhou Dynasty, and they all experienced a lot together on the ancient battlefield, and their relationship became much closer.
"Where is Princess Tianmo? Hasn't she been inseparable with you recently? Why didn't she come with you?"
Fang Yun lay in the wide chair and asked casually.
Yin Weiliang has frequently been in and out of General Ping Yao's Mansion recently, and naturally bumped into Princess Tianmo. Knowing that this was the only legendary queen of the Zhou Dynasty, Xie Pianran immediately became interested and pestered her every day. Asking about her "legendary deeds"
”.
For this reason, Fang Yun was rarely able to be pure for a period of time.
"I'm here today just to tell you for her. She seems to have something to do during this period. She has to go back to the Tianmo Sect. She may not be able to come to the Pingyao General's Mansion in a short period of time. You specifically asked me to tell you."
Yin Weiliang said that she had a good impression of Princess Tianmo. Although she was born in the devil's way, her temper was definitely not bad. Moreover, their personalities were compatible with each other.
"Oh?" Fang Yun nodded indifferently and didn't care. This princess was spontaneous and could go wherever she wanted. Neither the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Jubao Pavilion, nor the Pingyao General's Mansion could stop her.
"Did you say when you would come back?" Fang Yun asked.
"Haha," Yin Weiliang was startled, then pointed at Fang Yun and teased: "Princess Tianmo has a beautiful appearance and a kind nature. You are not attracted to her because of your lust, are you?"
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he also felt something was wrong. Hearing Yin Weiliang's teasing, he was slightly embarrassed. However, he was not the kind of shy person. He did not deny what he heard, but said calmly:
"My fair lady, a gentleman is very fond of others. Even if I fall in love with her, it's normal."
Yin Weiliang blinked his eyes and said with some surprise:
"You are quite frank. I originally thought you would find some righteous excuse to cover it up."
Fang Yun looked calm:
"I just like it, why should I deny it? There were so many princes and sons in the Zhou Dynasty who had three wives and four concubines. After all, I was born into a prince's family and came from a wealthy family. Do you need to be timid when you like someone upright?"
Yin Weiliang was stunned and said sincerely: "Although I disdain and sneer at your so-called rich background. However, I do admire you for the last sentence."
Fang Yun just smiled and did not answer.
"Do you want those magical flowers and herbs now, or do you want them to be given to you after a while?"
"It will take some time. I have to refine the herbs in my dimension bag into elixirs first."
Yin Weiliang showed a sly smile.
Fang Yun was noncommittal.
…
Time passed slowly, and there was peace in the city of Huai'an. The sect world was also relatively calm. Fang Yun knew that he would not be able to go to Dayingzhou in a short time.
The laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty were very strict. As the guarding general of Huai'an City, Fang Yun was not allowed to leave his station without authorization. Of course, this was not a problem in itself. Fang Yun could still hide it from the superiors. However, if he wanted to reach Dayingzhou safely,
, we must rely on the power of the imperial navy.
The ocean is vast and boundless, and coupled with the threats of natural storms, thunderstorms, tsunamis and deep-sea sea tribes, Fang Yun is not confident that he can spend more than half a month crossing the river and sea to reach Da Yingzhou. Moreover, the ocean is vast, so to think about it
To reach Dayingzhou, we must also rely on the compass made by the Ministry of Industry for the Imperial Navy!
