Chapter 57: King Yan rebelled? (Please order first)
Under the dim light, Zheng Yi was carefully checking several secret letters.
There are seven secret letters in total, all of which contain secret messages to purchase a large number of weapons and armor from Yujian Villa.
Or rather, evidence.
Prince Xian had already been sent away by Zheng Yi, and now it was another big event that Xiao Guizi mentioned.
Zheng Yi knew very well that someone purchased weapons and armor from Yujian Villa.
The Qingzhou rebel army, the Tianming Sect, the White Lotus Sect, and even the Wu Kingdom outside the Black Mountain Pass all purchased weapons from Yujian Villa.
After all, Yujian Villa has been passed down for more than 300 years, and the ancestors were famous for their sword making.
In addition to sword making, his villa also has superb metallurgical techniques.
As long as it is willing, it can transform from sword-making to an arsenal of other war weapons in a very short period of time!
Knives, guns, axes, even crossbows, bed crossbows and more!
This is something Zheng Yi will never tolerate.
I don’t know why the Dayu royal family has allowed a martial arts force who can build war weapons to survive for so long?
If it were him, he would already have Yujian Villa in his hands!
But this time the buyer is different.
King Yan!
This King of Yan, named Zheng Zongzhao, was the fourth brother of the late emperor and the uncle of Emperor Zhengyong.
This man competed with the late emperor for the throne, but failed by mistake and the emperor's throne slipped from his hands.
However, because his mother was the queen at that time, she knelt down and begged the late emperor for mercy, so her life was spared and she was allowed to go to her fiefdom to surrender.
It turned out that he had been deprived of military power and political power, and could only be confined in the fiefdom to retire and wait for death.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was actually taking advantage of the turmoil in the six states of the North to secretly cultivate party members, purchase weapons and armor, and even win over many sects in the North.
King Yan... what to do?
The letter in his hand is evidence that King Yan purchased a large number of weapons from Yujian Villa.
Among them, there were 3,000 pairs of iron armor, 20,000 pairs of leather armor, and 1,000 bed crossbows, which made Zheng Yi pay attention.
Zheng Yi frowned slightly and said, "Who else knows about this matter?"
Xiao Guizi said quickly: "Back to your Majesty, your Majesty and your slaves only know about this matter, not even Commander Ma."
"You may not have anyone in your hands. I will give you five hundred thousand taels of silver and let you set up the East Factory. You can use my handwriting to go to any department in the capital to recruit people."
"The main task is to supervise the officials, the imperial guards, and the arsenal!"
Xiao Guizi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly knelt down and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you for your trust! I will definitely be loyal. Even if Your Majesty lets me die, I will never frown!"
Supervise the officials, supervise the imperial guards, and guard the arsenal!
As Zheng Yi's personal eunuch, Xiao Guizi certainly knows what these three rights represent.
Today's Jinyiwei has become a major authority in the Dayu court.
His spies are almost all over the capital.
Even if it is what kind of obscene clothes a certain official is wearing today, Jin Yiwei can find out.
All the officials in the capital have changed their minds when talking about Jin Yiwei.
As for guarding the arsenal, that is a huge disadvantage.
He, Xiao Guizi, knew very well what was in the arsenal, the treasure of the Immortal Family!
"Get up." Zheng Yi nodded with satisfaction: "I will give you a task. This is your first task in the East Factory. You must complete it!"
"No!"
"You, send someone to the land of Yan to find out all the movements of King Yan."
Zheng Yi ordered: "Especially the prices of salt, iron and other materials in the city. Once the prices are higher than usual, contact the local garrison immediately..."
"No, the King of Yan dares to secretly purchase a large number of weapons. It seems that the troops stationed in Yan have been attracted and corrupted by him."
"Assemble three gold medal worshipers from the Enshrinement Court to go with you. Once you find any abnormal movement of King Yan, immediately capture... and kill him on the spot!"
Xiao Guizi raised her head suddenly, then quickly lowered her head and said: "No!"
"Wait a minute, it's still unstable..."
Zheng Yi called out to Xiao Guizi again and made a decision quickly.
"Let Mr. Chen go there. As long as there is evidence of treason, let Mr. Chen personally take action and kill King Yan!"
"No!"
Although Zheng Yi now has a lot of power at his disposal, Chen Liancang is the only Xiantian realm warrior.
After all, Prince Xian was a prince, so he was asked to do the assassination, and the assassin was his brother, so only a fool would do it.
If the vassal king commits a crime, even if it is rebellion, he will be taken to the capital for interrogation, and then the emperor will make a decision.
This kind of order to directly assassinate the feudal king is simply... unheard of!
But this is nothing to Zheng Yi.
He is not the real Emperor Zhengyong, and the title of Emperor Uncle means nothing to him.
What he wants is nothing more than Dayu’s stability!
What about King Yan?
Elder Chen must have taken action, and as long as King Yan doesn't have a back-up man like an innate warrior or monk, he will definitely die!
The next day.
Your Majesty decrees.
In Wuzhou, Yujian Villa secretly hid weapons and armor. He committed the crime of treason and had everyone in his family beheaded!
At the same time, more than 3,000 former blacksmiths and swordsmiths of Yujian Villa were also detained by the wolf-like Jin Yiwei from the villa, shops, weapons shops, and blacksmith shops under Yujian Villa's name to the capital, and were demoted to official slaves. .
The battle to destroy Yujian Villa was also caused by the participation of a large number of newly recruited martial arts figures who had joined the Jinyi Guards and the Worship Academy, and spread quickly throughout the Dayu Wulin like a storm.
"Yujian Villa was flattened by the Imperial Guards in one night!"
"I saw it with my own eyes! An immortal master took action and dropped endless thunder, blowing up the entire mountain of Yujian Villa into rubbish!"
"Mom, I saw it too! First there were a dozen huge fairy boats flying over, and then there were countless sky thunders..."
"Ten thousand people at Yujian Villa were all blown into pieces!"
"The thunder that day was extremely poisonous! I could smell it even though I was several miles away..."
"There is definitely an immortal master who has taken refuge in the imperial court. Your Majesty has found a real immortal!"
"It's so scary...!"
Countless martial arts people are discussing the battle that destroyed Yujian Villa, and many martial artists secretly went to the original site of Yujian Villa to check it out.
What caught their eyes was a hillside that had been bombed to pieces, with big craters everywhere, and even the ground was burnt black.
Now, they really believed it.
And these more than 3,000 swordsmiths, blacksmiths, etc. were also sent to the capital more than ten days later.
After consulting Emperor Zhengyong, an order was issued.
"All swordsmiths, blacksmiths and others at Yujian Villa are demoted to official slaves and sent to the arsenal as slaves. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed without mercy!"
The addition of more than 3,000 swordsmiths, blacksmiths and others greatly increased the speed at which the arsenal could produce gunpowder and thunderbolts.
Especially the metallurgical secrets, Zhan Liang and others quickly mastered advanced metallurgical technology after studying them.
Later, new steel was developed, which greatly increased the manufacturing speed of the red cannon!
With the arrival of Enke and the promotion of the selection of girls for His Majesty, many people suddenly poured into the entire capital.
The public security pressure in the entire capital has been greatly increased.
Even the Forbidden Army has detached some people to guard the city and maintain order in the capital.
Nanyue County.
In the wild, a group of carriages composed of Baiyue people were meandering towards the capital.
This is the team of the Baiyue people who present their beautiful girl, Yue Chan.
As a native of Nanyue County and one of the ethnic minorities who took the initiative to seek refuge in Dayu, the Nanyue people had a very special status in the Dayu Dynasty.
Many ministers in the court looked down upon them, but they had to win over the Baiyue people.
And the beautiful girl Yuechan presented by the Baiyue tribe does not need a preliminary audition. After her identity is verified, she can be sent directly to the palace.
The status is much higher than that of ordinary beautiful women, and the lowest status after entering the palace will be Madam.
You might even be named a noble!
In the carriage, an elf-like little girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old and wore a lot of silver jewelry was lifting the curtains and looking out with interest.
Beside her, another lively maid squatted.
"Sister, have we left South Vietnam? We are so nervous!"
Yuechan smiled and said: "No, the high priest has promised me that I will be Emperor Dayu's woman from now on!"
"Emperor Dayu..."
The maid Ani's eyes were bright and she said: "Don't you know that Emperor Dayu is handsome? Is he tall? Is he fair?"
"How do I know?"
"Also, I heard that Emperor Dayu would marry hundreds of women, more powerful than the patriarch uncle!"
"Hmph!"
Yuechan hummed: "My man can only like me!"
"If that doesn't work, I'll use the Love Gu to control him and make him only love me..."
"Love Gu? But, but he is the Emperor of Dayu. Didn't the old priest say that he wants..."
"Stop!"
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves and a lot of shouts from behind the team.
The maid Ani immediately became excited, "It's General Xu! Sister, it's General Xu who is here to see you!"
As he spoke, he quickly stuck his head out: "General Xu! We are here, we are here~!"
Soon, a group of heavily armed soldiers and horses passed by the convoy and stopped it.
The leader was a burly man wearing black armor.
The man was about twenty years old, with steady eyes and a faint scar on his cheek.
After seeing Yuechan's carriage, he said with fiery eyes: "Yuechan! Come out! I have something to say to you."
"General Xuanwu."
After a few breaths, Yuechan Yingying got out of the driveway: "I have been betrothed to your Emperor Dayu by the old priest. Please stop pestering me."
"Emperor? How can that tuberculosis man be worthy of you!"
Xu Xuanwu's eyes were fiery and he said: "Yuechan, will you agree to marry me? I am willing to give everything for you!"
"As long as you nod, I will take you around the world right away. I will take you wherever you want to go!"
"Aren't you afraid of your emperor?"
"Emperor?"
Xu Xuanwu gritted his teeth and said: "As long as my father is here, the emperor can't do anything to me."
"Now the entire Yu Dynasty is relying on my father, who dares to stop me?!" Yuechan shook her head, but still pursed her lips and said: "General Xuanwu, you already have one wife and three concubines, I forgive Yuechan for not marrying you .”
"The person I want to marry is Emperor Dayu!"
"You..."
At this time, another group of soldiers and horses caught up.
The leader of the big man is Shuyue, the leader of the Baiyue tribe.
"General Xu! Why are you stopping my Baiyue carriage? Come back quickly, I want to drink with you, hahahaha..."
"Shuyue..."
Xu Xuanwu gritted his teeth and said that without his father, he was no match for Shuyue.
After some entanglement, he could only watch the carriage escorting Yue Chan go further and further away.
He was so angry that he wanted to burst into tears, but there was nothing he could do.
"Emperor, Emperor's brother-in-law...what if I were the emperor?"
……
Inside the Qiankun Hall.
Zheng Yi sat cross-legged in front of a large cauldron made entirely of jade.
This large cauldron is gray-white as a whole. It is as tall as a person and about one foot wide. It is very precious.
The moonlight in the courtyard fell like running water, and the entire earth and Zheng Yi it illuminated seemed to be covered with a layer of moon-white frost.
Even the surface of the big cauldron seemed to have clouds of frost.
This large cauldron was presented by the Baiyue people of Nanyue County. It is called the 'Woo Jade King Cauldron'. It is made of special local jade in Nanyue County and has the effect of warming Yang blood.
This thing has another function in Nanyue County, cultivating Gu insects!
Putting Gu insects into a vessel made of black jade can keep them alive, restrain their aura, and achieve better cultivation results.
Zheng Yi's black jade king cauldron was donated by Shen Xing together with the moonlight Gu.
At this moment, it has become the best container for Zheng Yi to cultivate Moonlight Gu, which should be said to be Blood Moon Gu!
In the black jade king cauldron, there are more than ten moonlight Gu entangled together, eating and killing each other, just to compete for a piece of blood essence that Zheng Yi just dropped into the cauldron!
Cultivate blood moon Gu!
The previous moonlight Gu mother had already given birth, and she laid seventeen eggs in the first batch.
According to the "Dongyun Spiritual Insect Blood Sacrifice Method" and the records of the secret method of practicing Gu in Nanyue County, the Gu Insect-type spiritual insects win by quantity.
However, there must be a female worm, a king worm, or several leader-level spiritual worms among them to direct the swarm to attack.
What Zheng Yi did today was to cultivate the king insect among the insect swarm!
This method not only cultivates the king insect, but also cultivates the ferocity and murderous intention of the spirit insect, making this group of moonlight Gu even more ferocious.
"Zhizhizhi..."
"Hiss, hiss..."
Seventeen moonlight Gu were fighting and devouring fiercely. They relied on their young mouths to bite the same kind and devoured them with big mouthfuls.
While they were fighting, they were also squirming in the direction of Zheng Yi's essence and blood, rolling their whole bodies in the essence and blood, constantly absorbing the power of the essence and blood.
At the same time, rays of moonlight also shone on them, slowly seeping into their bodies, healing their injuries and replenishing the moonlight essence in their bodies.
Finally, after a period of fighting and devouring, only eleven of the seventeen Moonlight Gu survived.
The other six Moonlight Gu all became the nourishment for these eleven Moonlight Gu.
Their bodies became white and fat, like a dozen silkworm babies about to cocoon.
The difference is that there is a faint red thread on them, revealing their differences.
Seeing this, Zheng Yi without hesitation poured out eleven drops of blood again and landed on them.
The power mixed with blood essence and moonlight essence was gradually absorbed by these eleven moonlight Gu.
Eleven drops of blood essence equals eleven years of life!
It is impossible for ordinary cultivators to have such courage and courage to cultivate moonlight Gu with their own life span.
"Zhizhizhi~"
Suddenly, one of the eleven Gu worms let out a series of screams.
I saw it suddenly turned its head and bit the companion next to it, biting it with big mouthfuls.
The bitten companion also screamed and started biting the moonlight Gu.
Seeing this, the other moonlight Gu actually wandered to other places and continued to absorb blood and moonlight essence.
"Huh?"
Zheng Yi's eyes lit up slightly, but he did not stop the Moonlight Gu, but looked at the Moonlight Gu with interest.
"The other moonlight Gu has almost eaten enough, and the moonlight essence and blood essence have also been absorbed enough, and they will fall into a short-term 'digestion' state."
"This state makes them, like well-fed cats, need to sleep for a while to digest all kinds of energy in the body."
"Essence, blood, moonlight essence, I didn't expect that this moonlight Gu would still have the time and physique to fight!"
"It seems that the potential of this Gu worm is very different. Maybe it is the same as the mother worm..."
After the tea time, the sound of the two Gu insects biting finally stopped.
In the end, the bitten Gu worm was directly devoured by this Gu worm.
Together with the two drops of blood essence, it was also absorbed by it.
The size of the entire bug is far larger than other ordinary moonlight Gu, and is the size of a cherry tomato.
Even with his moon-white body, he could clearly see the bloody thread.
The other nine Moonlight Gu are obviously weaker than this Gu in terms of size and blood-colored threads.
"Zhizhizhi~"
Suddenly, the moonlight Gu raised its head slightly, opened its mouth, and shot out a moon blade as big as a fingernail.
Amidst the harsh sound of breaking through the air, the moon blade unexpectedly hit the edge of the black jade king cauldron, cutting off a piece of black jade the size of a fingernail in one fell swoop!
"Good guy!"
Zheng Yi was also surprised, how could this moonlight Gu master the moon blade attack so quickly?
Moonlight Gu, in addition to ordinary bite attacks, will also use the moonlight essence stored in the body to spit out moon blades.
The more moonlight is absorbed, the more mana is contained in the body, and the more powerful the moon blade is!
"Zhizhizhi?"
Suddenly, a bloody flying insect the size of a baby's fist crawled out from Zheng Yi's left shoulder.
This flying insect is like a moth, but it is blood red.
The moonlight shone on its body, and a moon-white halo appeared on its surface.
Blood Moon Gu, female insect.
This is the first moonlight Gu mother worm that Zheng Yi cultivated, and it has grown to this point now.
He once conducted an experiment, and the moon blade emitted by the Blood Moon Gu was blood red.
One blow easily penetrated three inches of steel!
If this kind of power hits a person, it is enough to kill a Xiantian realm warrior!
As soon as the mother blood moon Gu appeared, the nine moonlight Gu in the black jade king cauldron immediately lay obediently in it, with their heads close to the jade cauldron.
As for the Moonlight Gu, it actually raised its head and stared at the Blood Moon Gu mother with a pair of small eyes.
"Buzz buzz..."
The Blood Moon Gu mother spread her wings and almost turned into a phantom and landed in the Black Jade King Cauldron. She slapped the Moonlight Gu to the ground with one claw.
I gave birth to you!
How dare you stare at me? !
Blood Moon Gu slapped the Moonlight Gu with one claw after another. The Moonlight Gu was so frightened that it kept screaming and crawling around to avoid the old mother's claws.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Yi couldn't help laughing. Why did he feel like an old mother training a naughty child?
"Don't kill it, I still have use for it."
"Zhizhizhi...!"
What answered him was a series of screams from the Blood Moon Gu mother worm.
With a thought, the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror appeared in my mind.
Lines of handwriting also appeared clearly.
【Lord: Zheng Yi】
[Talent: Yin and Yang]
【Lifespan: 24/113】
[Kung Fu: The Second Level of "White Lotus Reincarnation Magic Technique" (125/1000)]
[The third level of "The Bloody Sword of Hundred Wars" (11225/100000)]
[Comprehensive strength: First Grade]
[Innate Spiritual Energy Progress (Level 1): 5/10]
Due to the cultivation of moonlight Gu, his life span is only 113 years, and Zheng Yi's nervousness becomes more and more clear.
"More than one hundred and ten years old, that means I can live another 90 years? Too little!"
"We have only cultivated a dozen moonlight Gu and they are already consumed like this. What should we do in the future?"
"We still have to let the beautiful girl enter the palace as soon as possible!"
Zheng Yi's mind moved, and the Blood Moon Gu climbed onto his shoulder again.
And his tone also became cold: "Chong'er, I have a task for you."
"Go ahead, don't let me down."
"Buzz buzz..."
Blood Moon Gu spread its wings as thin as cicada wings, stood up quickly, and almost turned into a stream of blood and shot out.
And the target of its flight is... Cining Palace!
In addition to being able to launch moon blades to attack, Blood Moon Gu also has the ability to absorb people's energy and scare people's hearts.
Since you don’t want to be decent, then I will give you dignity!
"Your Majesty~"
Liu Chengen walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, which empress' palace are you going to sleep in tonight?"
"Just go to Bibi's place."
"By the way, we can also see Mr. Zhengui and Jie'er Yu'er."
The "White Lotus Reincarnation Magic Art" is only the second level. He must continue to work hard and break through as soon as possible.
"No!"
