Everyone was a little surprised to hear that Ye Ming wanted to use poison. After all, most warriors are not good at using poison, and more or less, they despise and fear people who use poison.
Ye Ming seemed to understand what everyone was thinking. He said calmly: "What is martial arts? Fighting the enemy with force. If you can kill the enemy without taking action, this is the first choice."
Some people seemed to disagree with this point and couldn't help but said: "Deputy leader, if everyone thinks like this, how can martial arts develop?"
Ye Ming laughed and said: "It is enough for us to understand one thing. What is the purpose of force? It is very simple, to deter and kill the enemy. As long as force can achieve these two things, it is good force."
Everyone was thoughtful, and although they did not completely agree, they felt that Ye Ming's words were very reasonable.
Opening a restaurant cannot be completed in a day or two. If you do it too hastily, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the target. Therefore, Ye Ming was very calm. He decided to spend a few months to build the reputation of the restaurant first, so as to attract the target, and then implement his plan. During the time he was running the restaurant, he could also do other things.
Although the Haotian Sect continues to grow and expand, taking advantage of the chaos in the world to expand its territory, it has also been severely suppressed in some areas. The Qinglong Dynasty was the first hardest hit area. Although Emperor Qinglong was killed and a large amount of land was occupied by the Five Elements Divine Dynasty, the Qinglong Dynasty did not disappear. As soon as the news of the death of Emperor Qinglong appeared, Prince Qinglong gathered a group of people with common interests to ascend the throne in Dongdu and proclaimed himself emperor, becoming the new generation of Emperor Qinglong.
However, at this time, the Qinglong Dynasty was no longer as powerful as it was in the past. The area of the dynasty was less than one-tenth of its original size, and it was only concentrated in the area near the Eastern Capital. The first thing the new Emperor Qinglong did was not to restore the country, but to encircle and suppress the Haotian Sect with all his strength, because the Haotian Sect developed extremely rapidly near the Qinglong Dynasty, making it feel threatened.
The Qinglong Dynasty's siege caused heavy losses to the Haotian Sect, and a large number of believers were killed. As a result, some people who originally joined the religion were forced to withdraw from the Haotian Sect. For a time, within the jurisdiction of the Qinglong Dynasty, the power of the Haotian Sect was almost empty. This change made Ye Ming very happy, so after finishing the arrangement of the restaurant, he rushed to Dongdu as soon as possible.
This is not the first time he has come to Dongdu. He has been at Qinglong Academy for a while and is quite familiar with it. When he arrived in the Eastern Capital, the first thing he did was to investigate who controlled the current Qinglong Dynasty.
Undoubtedly, restaurants are the easiest places to get information. The most famous restaurants in Dongdu have not been affected by the current situation, and their business has actually become better. At this moment, Ye Ming was in a restaurant called Yudinglou, drinking quietly alone, but his ears were constantly picking up the conversations of the diners around him.
Some fragmented information was organized by him to form a complete information structure. Today's Qinglong Dynasty is actually controlled by the Qinglong royal family. The original Crown Prince Qinglong was promoted to the Qinglong Emperor, and a group of princes and royal relatives also held important positions. This kind of governance structure is based on common interests, so its execution is extremely efficient and there is strong loyalty among members.
In today's Qinglong Dynasty, in addition to the new Qinglong Emperor, there are also twelve extremely powerful princes, including the King of East China Sea and the King of Yinshan. The twelve kings each sit on one side and support each other, and behind each prince, there is support from various forces, large and small.
For example, the prince, the original Thirty-nine Prince Feng Wushang, the power behind him was a newly rising sect, the Blood River Sect. When Ye Ming heard the word blood river, he was very surprised. He felt that this blood river sect must be related to the underground blood river. The power of the Blood River Sect has been expanding rapidly, with tens of billions of followers, and Feng Wushang also serves as the deputy leader of the Blood River Sect.
The remaining eleven princes also have the support of major forces behind them, and there are even shadows of the four major sacred lands and various holy places. Among the twelve princes, it is Nafeng Wushang who is currently in charge of encircling and suppressing the Haotian Sect. Therefore, the main opponent Ye Ming currently faces is actually Feng Wushang.
When he was at Qinglong College, Feng Wushang had evil intentions towards Murong Xuejiao and Yan Ruyu, which resulted in a serious conflict between the two. At that time, he was the prince of the Qinglong Dynasty, and Ye Ming was just a nobody. Even so, he still didn't take advantage and was taught a lesson by Ye Ming. Time has passed, the Qinglong Dynasty is no longer the Qinglong Dynasty of the past, and Feng Wushang is no longer the Feng Wushang of the past.
Ye Ming further inquired that the reason why Feng Wushang was willing to take on the task of annihilating the Haotian Sect was because he practiced an evil skill that required a large amount of human blood. By hunting down the masters of the Haotian Sect, he can suck people's essence and blood without restraint. Ye Ming has also been exposed to the blood shadow magic skill practiced by Feng Wushang, and this skill has made rapid progress. But the further you go, the more you need to absorb the blood essence of stronger people. In the end, only the blood of the peerlessly powerful man helped. Therefore, throughout the ages, those who practice the Blood Shadow God have often made the world's masters fearful, and one day they will unite to kill them.
After hearing enough news, it was getting late, and he was about to go back to his room to rest, when a fat man with a yellow face walked in, followed by a thin black man. The two of them were walking and chatting. Their clothes and temperaments were very extraordinary. It was obvious that they were upper-class people and had a good status.
The two of them were busy with their travels. As soon as they sat down, the fat man called out impatiently: "Waiter, serve the best food and wine. Be quick, we have to be on our way."
The waiter responded quickly and served exquisite dishes within a short time. The fat man and the thin man are not weak in cultivation. They are both martial arts masters. Their need for storage is not strong, but more to satisfy their appetites. The restaurant where Ye Ming is located is very famous for its dishes, and many dignitaries are happy to patronize this place. Of course, the consumption here is also extremely high. Ye Ming sat here for a day and only drank some tea, and the money he spent was already as high as thousands of Fatian coins.
While eating food and drinking, the fat man said: "Old He, what kind of woman do you think our prince can't find? He has to go all the way to kidnap that little girl named Yan Ruyu. Not to mention, he also calls that girl Murong Xue. A charming woman is found.”
The thin man smiled and said: "Old Ma, as the saying goes, the best thing is what you can't get. I guess, our prince wanted to get these two girls but failed. Now he has ascended to the gods and is a prince again. Of course To fulfill old wishes.”
The fat man curled his lips: "Forget it about these two girls. What's going on with Wu Qianying? I would rather offend the True Dragon Holy Land than take down the person. Isn't this too reckless?"
The thin man scratched his head: "I'm also curious about this matter. What does the prince like about Wu Qianying? Her appearance? Or her military ability? The former doesn't seem like it, but the latter, does the prince still lack generals who are good at fighting? "
Hearing this, Ye Ming narrowed his eyes. The prince they were talking about must be Feng Wushang. Now that Yan Ruyu, Ji Ruxue, and even Wu Qianying have been captured by him, it is self-evident what his purpose is.
