Song Yan stopped in front of a quiet bamboo forest and said to the guards and female officials behind him: "You can just wait here."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
The guard and the female officer said in unison.
There is a winding gravel path among the bamboo forest, and Song Yan walks slowly along this path.
At the end of the trail, a simple hut stands alone, with a faint air of purity and nobility...
This is the hermitage of Tongtian Martial God.
"I have met His Majesty."
There were two young girls waiting in front of the hut. These were not female officials in the palace, but disciples of the Tongtian Martial God.
"No need to be polite, please step aside." Song Yan nodded.
"yes."
The two girls stepped back. Song Yan did not knock on the door. Instead, he stood in front of the hut with his hands folded. There was a large area of the palace that was uninhabited, but the Tongtian Martial God chose this piece of bamboo forest and built it himself. cabin.
"Your Majesty, please come in."
As the sound rang out, the closed cabin opened immediately.
Song Yan stepped in and his eyes fell on a woman in green who was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed with her eyes closed and practicing. She smiled and said, "Have you ever gotten used to living with a national master?"
The layout of the cabin is very simple.
A bamboo bed and a set of wooden chairs.
There is a tea set placed on the wooden table, but nothing else.
It can be said to be extremely crude.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's very nice here."
Tongtian Martial God opened his eyes, and there was a sense of intimacy in his clear eyes.
"That's good. If there is anything needed, the Imperial Master can ask for it." Song Yan continued.
"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when he comes?"
Tongtian Martial God was speaking, but the closeness in his eyes had disappeared, and his whole person was filled with coldness.
Song Yan said: "Why, can't you come and see the Imperial Master if you have nothing to do?"
Hearing this, Tongtian Martial God's cold eyes once again had waves, but his face immediately sank: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
Song Yan smiled disapprovingly: "I promised you a hundred years of life. I gave you the fifty years before. Now, I will give you the remaining fifty years."
Tongtian Martial God's eyes lit up.
Immediately, Song Yan recited the "Pei Yuan Jing" exercises that he had practiced to the late stage of foundation building.
As long as she practices this technique to the later stage of foundation building, it is not difficult to increase her life span by a hundred years, not to mention fifty years.
After just listening to it once, Tongtian Martial God realized the magic of this technique and began to practice it subconsciously.
Suddenly, the vitality of heaven and earth gathered in her body, and in a moment, true energy was condensed in her Dantian.
At the same time, the realm is also constantly rising.
An hour later.
Her cultivation level stayed at the ninth level of Xiantian. Feeling the nourishment of the true energy in her body, Tongtian Martial God stood up and bowed deeply to Song Yan: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the merit."
"You're welcome, nothing happens, I'll leave first!"
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
Watching Song Yan's figure disappear, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Tongtian Martial God's mouth.
The civil unrest has stopped.
The establishment of household registration and the construction of schools were in full swing under the auspices of the cabinet.
In three months at most, the household registrations of the thirty-six provinces in the world can be consolidated, while the construction of schools will be slower.
All school teachers are appointed by the empire, but these teachers need to undergo a short training before going to teach.
With the implementation of these two things, Song Yan could feel the growth of Qi in his body every day.
At the same time, Tiangong Institute has received a lot of manpower and material support. Although it has temporarily increased the number of fire mines to 50,000 per day, it is believed that it will not be long before the daily production of 100,000 fire mines required by Song Yan can be achieved. .
The twenty days passed in a blink of an eye.
The empire has gradually stabilized, but the situation on the seven major battlefields is becoming increasingly tense.
During these twenty days, the two demon clans once again expanded their armies, and the total number of demon armies stationed on the seven battlefields has reached 15 million.
According to Tan Ma's report: The two demon tribes are still increasing their troops, which is an annoying thing.
On the Blood River battlefield, the entire Blood River City was enveloped by a large formation. Two million soldiers and horses of the powerful Niu Demon Clan and one hundred thousand soldiers and horses of the Wing Demon Clan gathered below the city.
However, there are only 1.5 million soldiers in Blood River City. Once the formation is broken, it will be too difficult to defend Blood River City. Therefore, during this period of time, as the commander-in-chief, Meng Li is almost graying his hair. .
"See Your Majesty!"
In the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, Meng Li suddenly fell to his knees.
"No need to be polite, Lao Meng, get up!" Song Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Meng Li stood up with a smile and asked in close proximity, "Why are you here, Your Majesty?"
Song Yan said: "Of course I'm here to help. In this case, you go and gather a thousand people for me!"
"yes!"
Soon, Meng Li gathered a thousand men, all of whom were elite soldiers.
… …
Early next morning.
The powerful bull demons and the winged demons began to attack the city again. The winged demons were flying in the sky, constantly attacking the defensive formations, but the soldiers on the city were unable to do anything to them. Below the city wall, the powerful bull demons were concentrating their attack formations. Act on a certain part.
Under successive attacks, the formation defense shield continued to ripple like light waves.
Suddenly, a thousand soldiers and horses came to the city wall and stood scattered on the city wall.
"Prepare!"
Meng Li personally served as the commander.
Suddenly, a huge fire thunder appeared in the hands of thousands of soldiers. Each of these thousands of soldiers wore a storage ring on their hands. There was only one thing stored in each storage ring, and that was the fire thunder.
"cast!"
"Boohoo!"
Following Meng Li's order, a thousand soldiers stripped off the traps on the fire mines, and then all surrendered to the Bull Demon Clan army.
Yesterday, they had practiced how to drop bombs for a day, so they were quite skilled in their movements.
Thousands of round iron balls fell into the Bull Demon army and hit many people, but their power was so limited that they could not even hurt people. This made some Bull Demon soldiers laugh loudly.
But at this moment.
"Boom! Boom!"
Thousands of loud noises joined together, shaking the heaven and earth. Even the soldiers on the city wall felt the tremors caused by the explosion.
And what followed were countless screams. These thousand fire thunders killed at least tens of thousands of powerful bull demons, and even more were injured, no less than fifty thousand.
For a moment, the Dali Niu Demon Clan was stunned.
"Keep voting!"
"Boohoo!"
Thousands of fire thunders flew down again, and after a bombardment, nearly ten thousand powerful bull demons were killed and tens of thousands were injured!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The demon general who presided over the siege quickly ordered the army to retreat. The opponent only threw two rounds of iron balls and almost destroyed the 200,000 siege army. Will he not retreat and wait for the entire army to be destroyed
Seeing the powerful bull demon clan retreating in panic, the soldiers on the city wall cheered loudly. As for Meng Li, he was a little dazed. He never expected that the fire thunder sent by His Majesty could be so powerful.
At the same time, the other six battlefields also received the fire thunder sent by Song Yan, and played an unimaginable role in today's battle.
That evening.
Song Yan received battle reports from the seven major battlefields. It was initially estimated that the number of demons killed by fire and thunder reached 200,000, and at least one million were injured.
Huo Leichu made great achievements!
