Chapter 93: Heavy Haze
Two months ago, the three grandmaster-level God Commanders of the Clear Evolution Hall immediately activated their secret techniques to escape from Red Rock Canyon when they saw the leader of Galaxy Sect, Chen Yaoguang, coming to their aid. Chen Yaoguang and Huang Xin discovered the corpses of Gu Xifeng, Hu Zi, and Liu Zhiyong, who had fallen to the ground..
Chen Yaoguang stood silently in front of the old Prime Minister's corpse for a long time. Finally, she sighed and used the Universe Bracelet to collect all the corpses of the Liu Clan. Huang Xin carried Gu Xifeng and Hu Zi back to the Galaxy Sect. The Red Rock Canyon's aftermath was handled by the Dark Star Branch nearby..
When Dark Star Division members cleared the canyon of corpses and weapons, no one noticed that a corpse and a gun were missing..
After Chen Yaoguang returned to the Galaxy Sect, she immediately disclosed everything that happened in Red Rock Canyon to the public. She did not hold back at all and pointed the finger at Qing Yan Hall and Taichu Emperor..
Liu Zhiyong and the rest of the Liu family were buried in a beautiful open space on the mountainside of Purple Dou Mountain. Galaxy Sect buried the Prime Minister's family according to the highest standards. People came in an endless stream after hearing the news. Galaxy Sect did not stop them. The Prime Minister who had worked hard should be honored by the people..
On that day, the mountain road of Zidou Mountain was full of people who came to pay homage to the old prime minister. They all put on mourning clothes spontaneously. Everyone felt like they had lost their parents. They felt sorry for the loss of such a good prime minister who loved the people like a son..
Some impulsive commoners even began to abuse the current emperor, calling him a trusted follower of the emperor, a barbarian, and a traitor. He was a great fatuous monarch. The experts in charge of order in the Galaxy Sect ignored these remarks..
After Li Boqian succeeded to the throne, the Taichu Dynasty and the Galaxy Sect were in harmony on the surface. After Liu Zhiyong's incident, they almost fell out on the surface..
In the royal study of Taichu Palace, Emperor Li Boqian frowned and looked at Long Yansi, the chief of Qing Yan Hall, kneeling on the ground. Zao Ji stood beside the emperor..
Long Yansi's breathing was weak at this moment. His body was covered in wounds and he looked very embarrassed..
"Your Majesty, we encountered many experts led by Huang Xin from the Seven Kills Battalion of the Galaxy Sect during this assassination operation. Our God Tenders and Ghost Warriors fought a bloody battle and killed Liu Zhiyong's family. The experts of the Seven Kills Battalion were also killed by our Clear Evolution Hall, leaving Huang Xin alone..
"Just when the three of us were about to capture Huang Xin, Galaxy Sect Leader Chen Yaoguang came to our aid. We had to evacuate first, which was why we failed to complete the mission successfully.".
Long Yansi said emotionally. In order to show off the strength of Qinghe experts in front of Taichu Emperor, he did not mention the losses of Qing Yan Hall..
" The mission I gave you was to secretly get rid of Liu Zhiyong, that old fart. Now that everyone knows about it, how do you want me to end it?" Li Boqian pointed at Long Yansi with a cold face and said angrily..
"Your Majesty, we didn't know that the Galaxy Sect would protect Liu Zhiyong's family in this way. Your Majesty didn't mention that there would be so many experts from the Seven Kills Camp protecting them when he sent us to kill them. This is something that our Clear Evolution Hall couldn't have expected..
"The Lord's Prayer," he explained to the Emperor..
" You mean everything is my fault? How dare you!" Li Boqian picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it at Long Yansi. The teacup hit Long Yansi's head. Long Yansi did not move, but blood flowed down his hair..
Long Yansi lowered his head. Li Boqian did not see his eyes. His eyes were filled with anger. He wanted to eat the person in front of him alive immediately..
"Your Majesty, calm down. The Chief isn't blaming Your Majesty, it's all the Galaxy Sect's fault for always opposing Your Majesty..
Zaoji walked behind Li Boqian and buried His Majesty's head in the fullness of her chest. Her slender fingers gently massaged the emperor's head..
Zaoji's fingers sent out faint purple threads that swam around Li Boqian's head. Li Boqian narrowed his eyes comfortably. The evil fire in his lower abdomen was unbearable. He waved his hand and said," Get out!" Long Yansi stood up to bid farewell. His anger gradually subsided. He turned around and looked at Li Boqian, who had fallen into a gentle place, with a disdainful expression..
There were only Li Boqian and Zaoji left in the royal study. Zaoji's eyes were full of spring. Li Boqian got up and held her in his arms. It was self-evident what they wanted to do..
Although Long Yansi was very dissatisfied with Li Boqian, he was in a good mood. His plan went smoothly. Although he suffered a lot from Liu Zhiyong's assassination, he managed to drive a wedge between the Taichu Emperor and the Galaxy Sect..
When he returned to Qing Yan Hall, all the Qinghe people who saw him bowed respectfully. He just walked by quickly and ignored the people who bowed. These people did not feel that there was anything wrong..
Long Yansi came to a room and walked in without knocking..
There were four people kneeling in the room. From their clothes, one could tell that they were Seihe Ghost Warriors. Their faces revealed a fanatical expression as they looked respectfully at the young man sitting on the bed..
The young man's body was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and blood was still oozing out of his left chest. His face was extremely pale, and it seemed that he had suffered serious injuries..
An old man in a white robe stood beside the kneeling four. Green light flickered in his hand. He squatted on the ground and slapped his hand on the ground. A huge pattern appeared under the four of them. Green light enveloped the four of them, and a line extended from the pattern to connect to the young man's body..
The four ghost warriors excitedly whispered something in a clear and peaceful voice, their expressions crazy..
Their skin visibly shriveled, and their hair quickly turned white. In the blink of an eye, the four of them turned into skin and bones. As the sound disappeared, the four fell to the ground and died..
After the death of the four, the young man sitting on the bed gradually became ruddy and his chest stopped bleeding..
At this moment, his eyes sparkled with a green light. Four black shadows drilled out from the corpses of the four Ghost Warriors and were sucked into the young man's body..
After this operation, the young man had almost recovered. He stood up and moved his body, looking very satisfied. If Gu Xifeng was present, he would have been shocked because this young man was Yamakumaru, who had already been "killed" by him..
Long Yansi saw that the ritual had already been completed and asked," Yamaku-kun, have you recovered?" His tone was filled with concern..
"Lord Chief, bless the Spirit God. I've almost recovered..
The mountain is full of fear and fear for God..
"Thanks to God's presence, otherwise, even if my heart grew on the right side, I would not have survived for a few days..
The mountain is full of gratitude..
"The Spirit God lives forever. These brave ghost warriors have already gone to the Divine Kingdom and obtained eternal life..
The white-robed old man crossed his arms in front of his chest and lowered his head slightly. His body was shining with starlight, and his appearance was very sacred.
:.
"The Spirit God is always there!" Ling Yan Si and Yamamaru did the same thing as the old man and said sincerely..
Since the death of the old Prime Minister Liu Zhiyong, the leader of Galaxy Sect Chen Yaoguang has never entered the Imperial Palace again..
Li Boqian relied more on Qing Yan Hall. Qing He Country kept sending experts to Absolute Beginning. Some Qing He people even joined Absolute Beginning Army, which caused the dissatisfaction of Absolute Beginning Army God Lin Chuhe. However, Qing He people were still well-behaved in the army and did not hold important positions. Marshal Lin did not say anything..
The plan to send 500,000 troops to Taichu also began to be implemented. At first, Junji Temple's policy was to voluntarily register, but there were very few applicants. No matter how much Junji Temple publicized, the common people did not buy it..
The conscription progress was slow, His Majesty urged it tightly, and the pressure on the Military Aircraft Temple was huge. In the end, all counties could only be required to forcibly conscript, commonly known as pulling strong men..
Local officials took advantage of this opportunity to accept bribes, oppress the common people and deceive the whole Yingzhou in the process of forced conscription..
Only the regions controlled by the Galaxy Sect and the counties where the disciples of the Galaxy Sect were the chief officials were relatively stable. Although they could not disobey the monarch's orders, they could implement some relatively gentle and humane policies..
For example, the only child in a family is exempted from conscription; one child in a family with many children serves the elderly; married children are given priority in conscription…Even so, such a large-scale increase in troops will inevitably cause resentment among the people. No matter how moderate the policy is, young people will be required to recruit troops..
The common people in other places were even more resentful. Civil uprisings occurred in many places, but they were quickly suppressed by local government troops and did not report to the imperial court..
Soon, a team of 520,000 people was recruited. Some places even added a lot of strong men to take credit. Because of the recruitment, the morale of these recruits was even more lax. If not for the terrible punishment given to deserters by the Taichu Dynasty, many people would have fled home just after the recruitment..
The emperor was delighted at the end of the reinforcement so quickly. He rewarded many gold, silver and jewelry to the ministers of the Military Aircraft Temple, including the ministers of the Military Aircraft Temple. He also ordered the Military Aircraft Temple to be responsible for sending these recruits to the western front and handing them over to Marshal Lin Chuhe for training..
Lin Chuhe lived up to his reputation as the Absolute Beginning Army God. When these rookie recruits joined his command, they quickly stabilized their morale. In less than three months, these forced recruits had become well-trained Absolute Beginning soldiers..
A month after Gu Xifeng woke up, his body gradually recovered under Peach's careful care. Even the injuries on his soul had recovered. Later, he learned that the strange fragrance in his room came from a treasure called Soul Fixing Incense, which Huang Xin had brought out. This thing could actually speed up the recovery of soul damage..
If he didn't have the Soul Stabilizing Incense, it would take a long time for his soul injuries to recover on their own. This made him very grateful to Huang Xin. Huang Xin was quite generous..
During this month, Gu Xifeng had spent a happy time. Every day, he watched Peach busy around him and take care of him. His heart was filled with sweetness. He wished he could hug her immediately..
Of course, this was only Gu Xifeng's beautiful wish. If he was really allowed to act, he might not dare to..
Hu Zi helped Peach take care of Gu Xifeng every day. Even though he was still young, he did not hesitate to work. Everything he did was decent and serious. It could be seen that the old Prime Minister was very attentive to the education of his younger generation, and it was quite effective..
After spending a month together, Gu Xifeng naturally knew Hu Zi's name. Liu Ziling was a very scholarly name..
Presumably, the old Prime Minister also wants Hu Zi to serve the imperial court and benefit the people when he grows up. However, is this country worth serving?.
Li Boqian's name was deeply engraved in Gu Xifeng's heart. What this Taichu Emperor had done made him extremely disgusted..
When Gu Xifeng completely recovered, Peach hugged him tightly in joy. Although he was very happy in his heart and wished he could hold this girl whom he had missed so much in his arms, Gu Xifeng stood stiffly on the spot with his hands raised in the air, not daring to make the next move..
"Peaches, thank you for taking care of me these past two months..
Gu Xifeng was somewhat embarrassed..
"Then how can you repay me?.
"Peaches let go of Gu Xifeng and said mischievously..
This sentence reminded Gu Xifeng of Huang Xin's joke a month ago. He thought that he would give himself up in return..
Thinking of this, his face immediately turned red. He hesitated for a long time and did not know what to say..
Peach looked at his embarrassed face, smiled proudly, and said softly,"Fool!".
Then he ran out of the room happily..
After leaving Gu Xifeng's line of sight, the smile on Peach's face slowly disappeared, and her eyes were a little melancholy..
