"Demon Emperor?" Pei Ziyun shouted.
There was no sound from the brass statue. After listening carefully, Pei Ziyun shook his head: "Has it lost its spirituality? The extraction speed is a bit fast!"
As the demonic energy continues to be extracted, the statues continue to become truly bronze, no longer containing the breath of life before. As for the other statues, due to their low grade, all the statues were drained and turned into stone sculptures.
"Only Cheng Yuanzi was petrified, but his inside became cast iron." Pei Ziyun looked carefully and saw dozens of statues in the courtyard. It was very spectacular. He couldn't help but smile: "System!"
A plum appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.
"Earth Immortal: Sixth Level (89.3%)"
"The Earth Immortal responds to the wind and thunder at the first and second levels, differentiates the soul at the third and fourth levels, baptizes with the spring thunder at the fifth and sixth levels, pours iron into copper at the seventh and eighth levels, and returns to old age and youth at ninety."
"Each level requires more power. The Demon King Statue alone can enable me to upgrade to the seventh level. It seems that it only takes another week, but now that the court is interested, I have to prepare more."
"I only pursue the path of immortality. Although I won't be so pretentious as to eat and drink from a basketful of food, but in terms of prosperity and wealth, having the titles of Liujin Island and True Lord is enough."
"But even if I say this, the court will definitely not believe it."
"Prince, Emperor Qitai, we were once allies, but we ended up here today." Pei Ziyun sighed, woke up, stood up and looked outside.
At this time, spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, and the temperature difference on Liujin Island was not big, and the gardens were lush and full of scenery. However, Pei Ziyun's eyes gradually became cold. When he looked up again, he saw the jade Xiao given by the emperor flying up with a wave of his hand. Fall down, get up and start blowing.
The little princess was still outside at this time, looking at the gift list.
Eight taels of longevity tea, twenty pounds of Jichun tea, twenty ginseng sticks, ten sandalwood fans, twenty reams of rice paper, twenty fine feather pens, thirty boxes of ink, and five red inkstones.
There are also jade Ruyi, jade bracelets, agate beads, silk, colorful satin, and miscellaneous silk.
There were also baby and women's products. After reading it, the little princess just smiled: "Mom has thought too carefully."
A mother-in-law smiled apologetically: "The eldest princess is very happy to know that the princess is pregnant. In addition to these, there is also a family letter here."
As he said this, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over. The little princess took a look at it and saw that it was a common word. Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, the sound of Xiao came from far away.
For a time, everyone in the entire mansion couldn't help but listen.
At first, the sound of the flute sounded as thin as a strand of hair, and then it continued to curl up, and gradually it became joyful, as if it was an encounter, an acquaintance, or an acquaintance.
The little princess had listened to a lot of music, and she was like everyone. At this time, she slowly stopped moving and couldn't help but be lost in thought.
In the past, the husband's whistle was actually in perfect rhythm, but it always felt a little off. Now it is not just about putting feelings into the music, but every note and every turn seems to have its own life and rhythm. Just listen to it. Listening to the sound of Xiao, it seems that everyone has witnessed the process of meeting, getting acquainted, and knowing each other.
The first thing to know about music is basic skills. Many outsiders always despise the basic skills of musical notes, thinking that being sentimental is the most sublime thing. But without basic skills, how can beings be expressed naturally and be deeply rooted in people's hearts
It even becomes everyone's, not only the rhythm and emotion, but also a little bit natural. The little princess listened to the melody flowing out, and the allusions she had read followed.
“There are close friends in the sea, and there are neighbors in the world.”
"No, the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away the heroes, right and wrong, success and failure are all gone - this husband's poem seems a bit appropriate."
Xiao Sheng did not turn around, and it did not become "Premier Bai knows how to press his sword, and the wise men of the rich family laugh and flick their crowns", but slowly ended in remembrance.
It's just that if the little princess misses something, she always feels that the rhythm is last and a little lost, as if it is just a dream.
No matter how close friends are to each other, the fate of the king and his ministers will always be like the water flowing eastward.
The garden was very beautiful, misty from a distance, and azure from a closer look. The little princess stood in it, silent for a while, and then she said, "My husband's skills are great."
quiet room
After the song was completed, a plum appeared in front of him, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of his eyes.
"Xiao Yi: Grandmaster (10.1%)"
Unknowingly, Xiao Yi entered the room, but Pei Ziyun ignored him and just sighed: "Good Xiao, but the love is gone."
"If the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit."
"What's more, the king treats his ministers as enemies."
"It's been like this for thousands of years. What's the use of Xiao?" After saying this, Pei Ziyun pinched the jade Xiao, shattered it into powder, and blew it to the ground.
"Call He Qingqing over." Pei Ziyun said. A Taoist immediately answered the door and turned around to go out.
After a while, Liao Qingqing came over. Her expression was slightly solemn, and became more majestic as she took power. She lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head, standing and obeying orders.
"How many big ships do we have now?" Pei Ziyun asked after taking a few steps.
He Qingqing was startled for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, we now have thirty ships and control five trade routes. We have two more ships secretly."
"What's the situation now with the overseas routes I ordered you to open?"
"My lord, it has been opened. We can sail to Boluo Island in two months." He Qingqing said this, silently for a moment, and then smiled: "I have seen this island, and it is roughly ten times the size of Liujin Island. It’s bigger than that.”
"Ten times bigger?" Pei Ziyun was just asking, but was startled when he heard that this is two thousand square kilometers.
"Yes, I walked around and I'm sure there are 10 times more. There are wild bananas everywhere on the island, and there isn't much wind. Merchant ships often park there to avoid typhoons."
"I took a closer look, and there are a lot of wild spices. The most expensive one is probably the bird's nest."
"However, the ships we sent out can camp on Boluo Island, but there is nothing we can do if we go further. By the way, there are thousands of natives on the island."
"Two months? That's enough." Pei Ziyun said coldly: "I will give you a task. I will secretly ask the master to bring his mother and Ye Su'er, plus the little princess, and you will serve him, and he will go to sea immediately to go fishing. Luo Dao, wait for my order."
"Liujin Island is still too close and easily influenced by the imperial court. Boluo Island is beyond reach."
"In the future, the center will be changed to Boluo Island. You will send people to conquer this island, and all the natives will be reduced to slaves to farm and carry out infrastructure construction."
"Once we have a stronghold, we can move our population."
He Qingqing listened and just responded: "Yes, don't worry, Lord, we are all familiar with this on Liujin Island, and we will just repeat it when we go to Boluo Island."
After she retreated, Pei Ziyun snorted coldly and played with the gold medal. He saw the gold medal shining with golden light and carrying dragon energy. Although he had survived the thunderstorm and turned from yin to yang, he felt a slight tingling pain and shook his head: "A gold medal destroys one's actions, does it mean one destroys one's life?"
Then he threw it on the table and stopped looking at it.
Day 5·City Lord’s Mansion
The mansion was not of high standard, but it was larger in area. At this time, a banquet was held, with rare delicacies on display, including decades-old sea cucumbers, half a catty of large abalone, shark fins, whale meat, and half a meter of prawns. Pei Ziyun sat at the head of the table, Said: "Eunuch Gao, this is a delicacy that is difficult to taste in the capital. You should eat more of it."
Everyone should be.
"Hey" Wei Gaoguang sighed, picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, smiling bitterly: "This slave is busy with errands. I didn't invite the True Lord to go back, so I can't taste the taste."
For a moment, everyone at the table looked at each other and became quiet.
At this moment, someone hurried over and said when they arrived: "Zhenjun, another eunuch has arrived. He has stopped at the pier and is coming to the mansion."
Just as he was saying this, a sharp voice came from outside the palace: "King Lu is in urgent need. Your Majesty misses the True Lord very much. Please return to the capital as soon as possible."
As he said this, a eunuch broke in. The eunuch was holding a token. He saw Pei Ziyun sitting in the first place and stepped forward: "True Lord, please accept the metaphor!"
Seeing another eunuch coming, Pei Ziyun was slightly startled, stretched out his hand to flick the corner of his robe, and smiled: "One gold medal one day, five in a row today, the emperor is really eager."
Instead of kneeling forward to receive the order, the father-in-law came forcefully. Seeing this situation, he fell into embarrassment.
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Gao Guang hurriedly stood up and apologized: "It's not good to suppress King Lu, and the emperor respects the true king, so he urges the true king like this. Alas, your majesty has the world in mind, and we and the subjects should do our best."
"Yes, your majesty is worried about the world. The true king left the camp and there was no one in the army to take charge, so he suffered a huge defeat. Now the demon soldiers are running around, causing harm to the country and the people. Even if you send several generals, they can't suppress it. Your majesty is so angry that he has already sent several overseas troops. The purple jade cup is a tribute."
The father-in-law turned around very quickly. He didn't put on any airs at this time and apologized in a low voice: "Guanghuai County was destroyed, Huyong County was plundered, and General Hu Yuan died in the battle. There were thirty-one officials in the court to discuss the crime, let alone the victory." Damaged."
The father-in-law said: "The demons are causing chaos. Your Majesty is very worried. Please forgive me for being anxious. I also ask you to go out and kill the demons for the sake of the people of the world."
"Hmph, it's just a small fight, just a few counties." Pei Ziyun glanced at it and smiled, then glanced at the map: "It's like the sky is falling."
Gao Guang and the new eunuch were stunned and smiled bitterly. They didn't know what to say. The hall became quiet. At this time, they saw He Qingqing sending someone to serve the food, giving them a look and making a secret gesture.
Everything is ready.
Pei Ziyun picked up the wine, took a sip, and suddenly smiled: "But suppressing King Lu is not good, and it will indeed harm the country and the people. Even though I am a Taoist, I still have to do my best."
Seeing Pei Ziyun say this, Gao Guang was immediately overjoyed: "Zhenjun, when will we set off? Your Majesty is impatient. Please, Zhenjun, don't keep your Majesty waiting too long."
"Of course." Pei Ziyun responded, turned around and ordered: "Prepare the ship, I will set off today."
Gao Guang and the eunuch were both surprised, with smiles on their faces, and responded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
Pei Ziyun thought for a while and said, "But I don't have anyone available for the time being. Let's do this. Come, call all the guards of the young princess and follow me."
Then, Pei Ziyun smiled and said: "Since things are like this, now you can just get drunk and rest."
