Chapter 189, Hurry up(1/2)
"What kind of hatred, what kind of resentment, to kill them all like this?"
"Tsk tsk, there are hundreds of corpses piled up in mountains. It seems that only a few female relatives escaped because they entered the capital in advance."
"I heard that the two countries have been feuding for thousands of years and have long disliked each other. It was only because they were intimidated by His Majesty's divine power that they now live in harmony."
"It's strange to say that the Fuso State mission committed such a big thing, but they didn't flee directly. Instead, they continued to enter the capital with great arrogance. Are they really not afraid of death?"
"Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. They will die anyway."
"Fuso Kingdom has become more and more arrogant in recent years. It's time to punish them properly."
………………
In the private room of the teahouse, Zhao Yinshun used his ears to listen to the whispers in the lobby.
It has to be said that under the emperor's feet, even the ordinary people are very familiar with the international situation, and they all talk eloquently, which reminds Zhao Yinshun of the talkative taxi driver in the imperial capital in his previous life.
"Sister, let's have some tea."
Pushing the teacup that was filled with smoke in front of Li Min, Zhao Yinshun persuaded him with a smile.
However, the expressionless iceberg beauty's eyes were empty, staring into the distance, her mind a mess.
Not long ago, she was sure that Fusang Country was not in danger, but before it was ten months, the reality hit her hard like a slap in the face, making her feel ashamed and angry.
But the most terrifying thing is that with her keen political sense, she smelled a hint of conspiracy in this matter.
Even though the [Emperor] had given orders, they actually dared to risk the disapproval of the world to attack and kill the envoys of other countries. In a small way, this is a conflict between the two countries, but in a big way, it is contempt for the power of God, and it is an unpardonable crime!
Combined with the various abnormal behaviors of Fusang Kingdom in the past few years, Li Min even suspected that they were deliberately testing!
Test Damin’s bottom line!
What on earth do they want to do?!
"There are rumors that the Fuso Kingdom is ruthless this time because the Shenli mission has mastered the secret between them and the pirates who are ravaging the eastern states, so they want to kill people and silence them. Is that true? Senior sister?"
Seeing that Li Min turned a blind eye to the crude tea in the teahouse, Zhao Yinshun took out a jade cup, filled it with [Yuling Wine] and pushed it in front of her.
The familiar sweet aroma of wine weakened the anger in Li Min's heart. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip gracefully. After a long time, she let out a long breath.
"The composition of coastal pirates is very complex, and people from all religions and professions from all over the world are mixed among them, but the ones that account for the largest proportion are our local demon sects."
"However, the power of Fusang Kingdom has indeed expanded very rapidly among pirates in recent years. The coasts of [Lu], [Yang], and [Yu] are almost monopolized by them."
After pouring another glass of [Yuling Wine] for her, Zhao Yinshun asked curiously: "Does the Damin Navy just don't care?"
"Hmph! The navies of each state are controlled by the local lords and clans. I don't know how many pirates are supported by them. Do you think they can fight with their left hand and their right hand?"
Raising his eyebrows, the young man suddenly realized.
If the white road cannot cut the leeks, use pirates to cut them. Anyway, the whole village and town will be massacred. After the sickle passes, won't those ownerless lands and assets naturally fall into the hands of the gentlemen?
The so-called win-win means that I win twice, black and white, how wonderful!
With a hard strike on his palm, Zhao Yinshun gained a new understanding of the world, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Wait, didn’t the Hon Hai City tragedy follow the same behavioral logic?
It's just that that time it was done with the help of cultists, and the entire city was not massacred. Instead, the three richest families were targeted and killed, and nearly 10,000 civilians were killed "by the way"...
When he thought about the fact that the county magistrate was involved behind this, and that behind the county magistrate was the instruction of King Liang, Zhao Yinshun couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
How can we build an empire with such a bunch of insects?
"By the way, there are no navies from all over the country. Damin also has the Royal Navy. Why not send them out to exterminate the pirates?"
Suddenly thinking that there was a water force stationed in Jinghai all the year round, Zhao Yinshun couldn't help but asked doubtfully.
"The Royal Navy has to ensure the smooth flow of the three major water systems of [River], [Chuan], and [Jiang], as well as the Sanjing Grand Canal. It is already stretched thin on weekdays."
"Occasionally they gather together to go on patrol, but the insider leaks the information, resulting in little success."
"After several attempts, the pirates were not wiped out. Instead, river pirates arose inland, hindering water transportation. In the end, prices in the Gyeonggi area skyrocketed, almost triggering a civil uprising, so no one dared to go to sea lightly anymore."
Sipping [Yuling Liquor] lightly, Li Min replied quietly, his eyes flashing with an imperceptible cold light.
"Then why not expand the Royal Navy?"
"There is no money, local taxes are getting less and less, and the national treasury can no longer make ends meet."
"…………"
It's so real. This dying dynasty is almost equivalent to terminal cancer.
When "Bian Que" comes, he has to say goodbye to Sanlian!
Zhao Yinshun glanced at his senior sister sympathetically, pinched her catkins, sighed and filled her with wine.
"Senior sister, stop worrying about things and drink."
After drinking cups of [Yuling Wine], the fragrant and sweet aroma of the wine wafted out through the cracks in the door, making the gourmets salivate.
"Master Huang, there are distinguished guests inside, you..."
"Get away!"
The noise outside the door made Zhao Yinshun frown. The next second, the simple and elegant door was kicked open, and a man smelling of alcohol, flushed and disheveled broke in, laughing incoherently.
"I want to see what kind of wine it is..."
The maniacal laughter stopped suddenly, and the man stared at Li Min's face, his eyes instantly burning with burning desire.
"What a handsome little lady."
"roll!"
Before he could make any wild move, the distracted Li Min roared, and the huge invisible force turned into visible ripples, instantly knocking the man away.
At the critical moment, the jade pendant around the man's waist glowed with bright light, forming an egg-shaped shield to wrap it up. It then shot through the wall like a cannonball and disappeared into the depths of the black hole.
"Senior sister is compassionate."
The sword energy that was about to be released retracted from his fingertips, and Zhao Yinshun raised his eyebrows at Li Min with a half-smile.
If you are teasing the eldest princess of the empire in the street, why don't you kill the nine tribes to add to the fun?
Hearing his junior brother's teasing, Li Min glared at him angrily.
"Our charm is almost divine. It is too lethal to people who are weak in mind and spirit. That guy will not be punished until death."
"So Senior Sister is compassionate!"
"I think you are just bored and want to kill someone!"
He gave Li Minbi a thumbs up, but she was so angry that her brain collapsed. Zhao Yinshun rubbed his head and was about to refute her slander when he suddenly heard excited shouts from the street.
"Someone is coming to the [Conferred God Platform] again!"
"Who is it this time?"
"It's still the Holy See, and the challenger seems to be a swordsman."
"Hurry up and grab a seat!"
…………
Blinking his eyes, Zhao Yinshun glanced at his senior sister, and Li Min stood up helplessly.
"Let's go."
A hazy halo covered their entire body, covering their appearance better than nothing. The two of them stepped out of the door and walked towards the Conferred God Platform under the hesitant gaze of the teahouse owner.
"Shopkeeper, Mr. Huang dug it out. There are treasures to protect the body. There are no injuries."
"Oh, there are dragons and tigers hiding under the emperor's feet. Mr. Huang doesn't know how high the sky is after drinking a few kilograms of wine. I think he will have to kill himself sooner or later!"
While he was complaining, a disheveled man rushed out and roared with red eyes.
"Where are the people? Where are those two people?!"
"Let's go, go in that direction."
"Fuck, you beat me and you still want to run away, but I won't let you leave the imperial capital!"
Watching the man roar out of the door, the shopkeeper and the waiter looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads.
"Wine hurts people's intelligence, it's better to drink tea..."
On the other side, I and my senior sister came to the area where the [Fengshen Platform] was located. People on the three floors inside and three floors outside had already filled the nearby open space.
However, the closer you get to the [Conferred God Platform], the more serious the invisible pressure becomes. Ordinary people can only watch from a distance. Only the top transcendent or the top geniuses can come close to watch the battle.
Bingbing's slender fingers held Zhao Yinshun's hand, and Li Min took a step forward gently.
When their toes dropped, the two of them had already crossed over the crowds of people and arrived directly at the innermost part of the [Fengshen Platform].
"Senior sister, why do people challenge Iris every now and then, but no one cares about me? I'm obviously the number one in the [God Ranking]."
Reluctantly letting go of the cold catkin, Zhao Yinshun complained with resentment.
Have leeks become fine these days?
Why don't you come into my bowl?
