Guan Dong locust, flying to Dunhuang, Great General, Luntai death,
Hejian people, wives eat husbands, people in the pass, husbands eat wives,
Human flesh price, cheaper than pigs, weak men and women, filling military salaries,
Witchcraft disaster, Imperial City ruined, fathers stoning sons, turning on each other.
Spear Piercing Infant, Pan Dance, beautiful palace women, boiling in a large pot,
Piled bones, filth all over the road, Blood Channel, Meat Filling the Hall,
Officialsā bones, nowhere to bury, half of the worldās households have perished.
Young Master grinning,
"Mr. Lu, what do you think of this poem?"
Lu Yi smiled, rubbed his fingers to light the paper,
"The world is originally at peace, fools disturb themselves. Itās just a doggerel, such talentless and shallow people who only know how to wallow in self-pity and complain about Heaven canāt relieve the Emperorās worries."
Young Master grinning,
"Is that so, then I understand... By the way, Mr. Lu, Iāve heard locusts have plagued Hejian, thieves have risen in revolt, storming officialsā offices and killing tax officers, is that alright?"
Lu Yi laughed,
"Itās alright, we executed a hundred thousand bandits, and itās already suppressed."
Young Master grinning,
"I see, then Iām relieved... By the way, Mr. Lu, Iāve heard the war in the west is intense, military supplies have been cut off, and the forward army has continuously suffered defeats and destruction, is it alright?"
Lu Yi laughed,
"Itās alright, we have relocated half a million from Dui State to Luntai for farming, alongside the Armored People as slaves, supplying military needs."
Young Master grinning,
"Is that so, I said, with all of you officials wholeheartedly serving the court and relieving the Holy Emperorās worries, what else is there to worry about.
By the way, Mr. Lu, Iāve been idle in the Capital lately, drinking and making merry every day, so bored that Iām aching, I also want to find a duty to do."
Lu Yi laughed,
"Thatās no trouble, Young Master is a pillar of the state, Shanglin Garden knows your loyalty and will comfort you.
By the way, Iāve heard now the vassal guards of Gen Kingdom are having difficulty in Qianzhou, theyāve been digging the mountain for ten years and still canāt move Wangwu Mountain.
How about you hold the command and first act as a General Pingbei, going to Ye Capital to oversee the army?"
Young Master was delighted, grasping Lu Yiās hand,
"Thatās great, I knew I could rely on your intelligence and strategy, sir."
Thus finally sending off the Young Master, Lu Yi also let his face darken, hesitating several times before deciding to sacrifice a Blood Godās Son, his soul emerging in an instant, swiftly heading towards Heavenly Mountain to report.
The situation has changed, they are about to take action.
Meanwhile, a Blood Shadow from the sky arrived, landing at the bearās cave entrance.
Then the blood slurry churned, clouds and mists gathered, and that Blood Shadow detached from the human figure, like a red robe fluttering in mid-air.
Fei Yan slowly opened her eyes, looked at her hands, and then gazed at the blood robe in the sky, shivering all over, kneeling down.
"Thank you, senior, for sparing my life!"
The blood robe waved, casting a Blood Godās Son, imprinting on her forehead, Fei Yan remained prostrate, not daring to move.
"I pass you this Secret Technique, using the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the blood web throughout your body to flow Qi, it wonāt interfere with your original proper Qi flow, but significantly enhances power, if two people use Dual Cultivation, with one controlling Divine Thought to manipulate blood, it can increase healing and restore life."
Chen Xuantian pointed to the cave and said,
"When he wakes up, just say you saved him, and the injury was healed by Dual Cultivation."
Fei Yan couldnāt help turning her head to look, biting her lip, pitifully,
"Senior, senior, you actually want to see me with a bear..."
Chen Xuantian was speechless,
"Thatās a person! Besides, who wants to watch on the side!
Trick him however you want, let him believe it, handle it yourself!"
Anyway, Fei Yan understands very well, knowing what to say and what not to say, she knows the score, having spared her life, transmitted Dual Cultivation Divine Skill, and secretly placed a Blood Godās Son within her for Body Seizing, both stick and carrot have been given to her, naturally she wouldnāt dare spread rumors.
Thus with a flash of blood light, Chen Xuantian left directly using Blood Shadow Divine Movement, heading straight for the Capital.
Yes, Chen Xuantian also knows Emperor Wu and the Crown Prince are about to face off, he really doesnāt want to wade into the murky waters of the Three Constellations, thatās why he fled the Capital, but now having just left, after a brief round in the Eastern Country, he felt he still had to return to the Capital.
Hmm, now Chen Xuantian discovered the drawback of the Blood Godās sonās great method.
If too many Primordial Spirits are consumed, devouring too many memories, then too many things become as if seen with oneās own eyes, transformed into personal experiences.
Thus, Chen Xuantian also saw the Holy Emperor in Shanglin Garden, with relentless desires since ascending the throne.
A hundred years of conquest, exhausting the peopleās strength, in recent years, Guan Dong has encountered locust and drought disasters consecutively, leaving countless starving corpses, millions of famine victims blocked outside the Suiyang Pass.
The strong worked as tugboat men, laborers, oxen, and horses, helping to transport military grain, as a reward, after unloading, they could enter the shipās hold to sweep up leftover grains mixed with dust to fill their bellies.
Most people could only listlessly gaze at the endless white sails on the canalās banks, watching countless grain ships sail past, then starve to death on the dikes.
Ruthless officials led gang-like henchmen to raid homes everywhere, looting family properties and surplus grain, seizing peopleās fat and resources, collecting fifty cents tax for every one thousand coins. Anyone who reported tax evasion could directly raid a home, keeping half for themselves and submitting half to the national treasury, earning the title of an honest official.
And the armies fighting on all sides slaughter even more, previously a severed head might earn battle merits for promotion, but now the Immortal Emperor has already started selling positions and ranks, with each transition of Twelve Transitions military merit and rank needing a million to upgrade and command.
Even if bounty for severed heads isnāt paid, failing to reach the head count required results in fines or demotion, so they have to murder innocents for false merit, indiscriminately killing alien races, barbarians, and civilians, after all, once heads are boiled down to white bones, they canāt be recognized.
