Chapter 2408 Rising Sun
"Huh..."
King Chujiang exhaled a long breath, and the cold mist filled the air with frost.
She swallowed it back bit by bit, and the eyes exposed outside the mask condensed a delicate snowflake in the pupil.
Her body slowly warmed up and began to have human body temperature.
"Your idea is very dangerous." She said as objectively as possible.
"There is simply no way to design it."
"Jingguo is in the most dangerous time now. The original god of heaven has knelt down and Tiangong City has been destroyed. No one and no force can stop them from taking revenge. Even those hegemonic countries don't want to offend Jingguo."
"The killing of Ji Yanyue before, when she was carrying out a secret mission and could not be made public, and the attention of Yizhendao attracted attention, all directly led to the destruction of the organization. Almost everyone died."
"You also said last time in Canghai that with our strength, even if we knew clearly what the Jinghai Plan was from the beginning, we would not be able to stop it. Even if we crashed into the ancient Tianlu, we would not be able to affect it."
King Qin Guang had already given up tracing the Jinghai Plan - there was no need to trace it again.
Now everyone knows. The Jinghai Plan was proposed by Jingguo Prime Minister Luqiu Wenyue and promoted by Jingguo Emperor Ji Fengzhou himself. It was an important attempt by the Central Empire in Canghai. What happened in Youguo was just an inconspicuous corner of the great plan.
The pain of a few people in a certain city under Youguo was not even a ripple.
Who should we take revenge on now?
The Jinghai Plan also failed.
The nine beasts were all exhausted.
Although Luqiu Wenyue retired and her cultivation was reversed, she was still a strong real person and had been in Jingguo. There was no possibility of killing her.
Maybe it’s time to stop!
Can Ji Fengzhou still be the target?
Many people who experienced it felt that unforgettable things were no longer remembered by anyone.
"Chief." King Chujiang said seriously: "I don’t think you should still remember this matter."
King Qin Guang was sitting at a desk, wearing a Confucian shirt, quite scholarly, holding a pen in his hand, and was... drawing talismans.
He drew on the yellow paper attentively without looking up: "This is just a business."
"This is not a good business." King Chujiang said: "At this stage, any business related to Jingguo, no matter how expensive the other party's offer is, we should refuse it."
King Qin Guang admired the crooked blood talisman he drew, as if he was admiring some peerless beauty, and said casually: "Someone once saved my life, that is the reward for this mission."
King Chujiang opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
She had ten thousand reasons to refuse, but this one shattered them.
...
"What? Let us save Li Mao!?"
In the Ten Directions Ghost Mirror, the eyes that belonged to King Yama, which were not covered by the mask, were clearly widened.
Although he had given everything to King Qin Guang and expressed his loyalty with all his heart.
At this moment, he could not help but waver.
He suspected that King Qin Guang wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and take the opportunity to kill him - it was reasonable to say that killing him did not need to be so complicated.
Jingguo is clearly using Li Mao to fish for big names like Shenggong, Zhao Wang, and Shenxia.
What is the size of Hell's Gate? Why is it involved in this matter?
Even if the two newcomers are added, all the Yamas tied together cannot fill this huge fishhook!
As an organization with endless running water and growing day by day, Hell's Gate has never stopped recruiting new members.
Considering that the Wheel King is still being tortured in the Central Heavenly Prison and has not clearly died, there are only three positions to recruit new ones, Emperor Song, King Biancheng, and King Taishan.
For some reason - it is said that the pet left by King Biancheng is very strict - anyway, the Sixth Hall is temporarily vacant.
The new additions are Emperor Song and King Taishan.
The Coroner King has examined them, and they are very fresh.
The two Yamas who have just joined the organization, the fifth Emperor Song and the fifth King Taishan, also looked at each other at this moment.
They seemed to suddenly understand why Hell's Gate was established only a few years ago, and they are already the fifth...
This is looking for death.
The new Emperor Song spoke in a serious tone, giving people a sense of incorruptibility: "The Li Mao you are talking about... is it the Li Mao we know? The one who built Tiangong City?"
His true identity is the contemporary face of the Yi Kingdom in the Eastern Region, the top master of the younger generation, Lin Jie.
With the help of the Xingyueyuan War and the Xia War, the resources seized in the two wars, and the experience of further study at Jixia Academy, he finally achieved the Divine Realm last September with great difficulty.
It can't be compared with those peerless geniuses, but it is already the pride of the Yi Kingdom.
It's even more difficult in the future.
The strongest cultivator of the Yi Kingdom, that is, the general Yan Po, has only reached the Divine Realm, and there is no way to give too much guidance. He dared not listen to it even if he was given it. General Yan had long lost his real hope. What's more terrible is that General Yan himself doesn't know where he went wrong...
There is no way forward. With all the resources and past accumulation of the Yi Kingdom, it is already the limit to push him to this point.
He can only think of a way himself.
The experience of following Master Yan in the Xingyueyuan War gave him a great stimulus.
He also wanted to live a wealthy life where he could throw Daoyuan stones as if they were stones!
In this world, people with backgrounds can make money by relying on their backgrounds, while people without backgrounds can only make money by risking their lives.
He was supported by a country, which was already very good. At least he was stronger than many people in the early stage of transcendence, but when he reached a high level, he could only be dragged down by the country.
The country has no use for him, but he has become the country's reliance.
Let's be realistic - he doesn't even dare to fight with others easily, for fear of getting hurt. Once the golden body is injured and the jade is lost, he can only lie at home and recover slowly. Not to mention the delay in cultivation time, it is very easy to leave sequelae and damage the origin. Treatment is unaffordable. Going to the Qi State Imperial Hospital for treatment almost empties the national treasury.
Extraordinary monks with limited funds will practice one or two medical Taoist techniques to some extent, and solve some minor problems by themselves. But there are specialties in various professions. If you want to practice to the point of being able to treat the golden body and jade, the hard work will be countless, and you must have a talent for medicine.
Otherwise, how can Renxin Pavilion and Dongwang Valley make a lot of Yuanshi!
For Lin Jie, there are not many choices.
There has been no war in Qi recently, and the East China Sea has been pacified. What about Huoshui and Yuyuan, each one is more difficult than the other.
Hell without Gate, which has been in the limelight in recent years, has entered his field of vision.
There is nothing wrong with being a killer.
There is no distinction between high and low in all occupations.
The world-famous Zhenhe Zhenjun was once a guest of Marquis Bowang.
By the way, he also participated in the Chaowendao Tiangong exam, but failed it - the person who set the questions was a piece of shit. If he didn't want to let him pass, he should just say so. He made things difficult for him in various ways!
Ju Kui's pattern was more than a little worse than that of Jiang Gelao.
Although he was born in Yi State, which was close to the Legalists and deeply influenced by the Sanxing Palace, Lin Jie disliked the Legalists very much.
Especially after he expressed his desire to study in the Sanxing Palace, but was coldly rejected.
What Legalist Holy Land, it's just like that.
Isn't it nepotism, not fair at all?
Even if he is not a disciple of the Legalists and has not learned the law, can he not go to the Legalist Holy Land for further study?
He has no choice but to rely on himself.
The murderous and arsonist Emperor of Song, the pillar of the country General Lin!
I was quite happy staying in Hell's Gate - I completed several missions and my pockets gradually became full - until today.
The leader of the organization usually looks quite smart, why did he go crazy this time?
He is willing to fight with his life, but not to give it up.
He stared at the King of Chujiang who issued the task. If the other party said "yes", he would immediately report to Jingguo and get the reward.
Considering the arrogance of the people of Jingguo, in order to prevent this killer experience from being known to others, maybe he should change hands, or maybe... I wonder if Jiang Zhenjun is interested in eradicating this cancer?
King Chujiang stared calmly ahead.
The Ten Directions Ghost Mirror reflected different eyes under the standard mask, and the same resistance was in different eyes. Everyone was sober.
Only King Qin Guang, who never wore a mask, was still like a handsome scholar, writing and drawing there - if Youguo was not that kind of Youguo, if Jingguo had never raised turtles there, he might really be a scholar, right? In Qingya Academy, or Longmen Academy.
"It's the Li Mao you know." King Chujiang said, "But our mission is not to save Li Mao, but to make people think we are the ones who save Li Mao."
"What's the difference?" King Pingdeng said, "If we go to save Li Mao, we will die. If we make people think we are the ones who save Li Mao, we will die."
Although he is the King of Pingdeng, he has nothing to do with Pingdeng Country, and he does not recognize the ideals of Pingdeng Country. He even does not think that those people in Pingdeng Country have ideals.
They are just a group of thugs.
Hell without Gate is of course also a group of thugs, but they clearly mark the price, pay money with one hand and kill people with the other, do not draw cakes, and do not set up ideal archways.
"There is a big difference." King Chujiang always seemed to be calm: "First, saving Li Mao is an impossible task, but pretending to save Li Mao is easy to achieve. Second, saving Li Mao and pretending to save Li Mao require completely different efforts, and there are many more choices. You said that the latter is also a result of death, I disagree. Are the risks of killing with real swords and guns and waving flags and shouting from afar the same?"
"Third, I am not talking about the difference now. I want to say that after we complete the task, we may escape. I don't want to die, and King Qin Guang doesn't want to die either. We will not make a choice that will lead to death."
"Everyone here is smart. You think this matter is very dangerous and hopeless. Of course, you know what kind of preparations Jingguo will make for this matter. But what I want to tell you is that the whaling net can't catch small shrimps. Think about it carefully. Is this the truth? Are the killers prepared for the powerful people of Yandao, such as Shenggong and King Zhao, willing to use them on us?"
"Ji Xuanzhen deliberately killed Tiangong The city was left with only one Bolu. What was the purpose of the Jing people? They simply felt that killing one Bolu was not enough, and they wanted to use Bolu to lure out more and more important members of the Equality Country. "
King Chujiang said: "We are not the target of the Jing people, are we?"
"The people who hired us - I'll be frank - what is the goal of the Equality Country? They want to save Bolu, but they invited us first, just to let us spread smoke and attract the attention of the Jing people. The Jing people must know this. Who will the Jing people prioritize between the members of the Equality Country and us?"
"There is no hatred or interest dispute between us and the Jing country. We are just a pure killer organization. We will work for whoever gives us money. This is known to the world. This time, the Jing country and the Equality Country are playing a game. We are just passing by, just waving flags and shouting, and strengthening our momentum. If something goes wrong, we will leave. Is it really dangerous?"
"The reward is very generous!"
She broke it apart, crushed it, and analyzed it one by one.
What was originally impossible, under her analysis, seemed to have a real chance of coming true.
"That's what you say..." The fifth King of Taishan said hesitantly: "I'm sure none of the strong men in Jingguo who are preparing to close the net will be in a bad mood?"
King Chu Jiang still doesn’t know the true identity of this new Yama. Hell has no gates and only accepts newcomers based on their ability and nothing else. Only King Qin Guang said that he seems to be a water tribe.
After last year's water control conference, the aquarium tribe was not as low-key as usual. Many aquatic tribe masters came out to show their presence, strive for more voice for the tribe, and more proactively integrate into this era.
After all, it is such a huge ethnic group, and there are still many powerful people with divine presence. It's hard to pin down a specific identity.
King Chu Jiang said: "When you go out for a walk, you may meet a strong man who is in a bad mood. It is also possible that a poor person is in a bad mood when you meet him. King Taishan, will you not go out from now on?"
As a water tribe, there must be a reason to fight for being a killer.
These words just hit the mood of King Taishan.
He shut his mouth and stopped objecting.
It wasn't until King Chu Jiang convinced everyone that King Qin Guang put down the red pen, looked at the charm with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it."
The loyal Crown Prince and the City King naturally do not need persuasion. No matter what tasks King Qin Guang assigns, they will firmly support it - no matter whether they take real actions or not, their verbal support will never be absent.
Saving Li Mao is nothing, even if Yin Guan said he wanted to kill Ji Xuanzhen, they would still shout "The leader is wise"!
…
…
It was the fifth day of the third month in the Taoist calendar of the year 3930.
The morning light easily tore apart the night, and there were only a few clouds in the sky.
Looks like it's going to be good weather.
Qiu Tie stood on the edge of the Yellow River, like a silent iron tower. Holding a yardstick in his hand, he held it flat in front of him, and the head of the rope fell straight down, rapidly descending in the water, frightening away many swimming fish.
This is a simple but tedious task that requires no effort but requires a lot of patience.
The long river is turbulent, the water level is constantly changing, silt is accumulated or washed away, and the river banks are often undulating.
As a "river officer" entrusted by Jingguo, even though his feet were no longer Jingguo's territory, no one dared to block the way.
He needs to calculate a new one hundred and eight water level points for this year, and then measure them one by one to get the most accurate water level data - he can do the calculation again, Wei Guo Longhu Tan Oriental Master and Dean of Longmen Academy Yao Fu , Fu Yunqin, the general manager of the Yellow River, and others will also do the calculations. After all parties have verified that they are correct, the final data will be made public.
According to the results of last year's water control conference, the Yellow River Conference will continue.
Judging from the water level, it has only been two years - it will not be more than thirteen years since the last Yellow River Meeting. Still within the range of ten to fifteen years, in line with past patterns.
This is good news, indicating that there is not much turbulence in the long river. As long as the Yellow River Conference is successfully held, the impact of Changhe Longjun's death will be completely wiped out.
Qiu Tie looked into the distance. At Tianmayuan in the distance, he could see Yin Xiaoheng's corpse lying there - it was the silt washed away there that created the section of the Yellow River here.
But what is washed away by the long river is not just sediment?
As a river official, he also has to clean up the twilight divine will that was accidentally leaked on the Tianma Plateau - the remnants of the old era and the poison of the new era. If it is leaked at all, it will cause endless disasters, and the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will suffer.
Yin Xiaoheng's death was a bolt from the blue to everyone in Jingguo.
He also went to take a look at Tianmayuan. The three true monarchs guarding there had left, but everything there had solidified. He was also thinking about how this matter would end.
The sun seemed to rise behind Tianmahara, a brilliant orange color. The clouds that are thousands of miles away are blooming little by little.
Qiu Tie, who has been practicing self-cultivation for many years, likes this scenery very much——
After the eternal dusk, there is the rising sun that will always rise.
His eyes were also dyed red and gold by the morning sun, which is the color of hope. Then the bones rolled out of the eye sockets!
Qiu Tie's Taoist body suddenly tensed up, but then went limp in an instant.
He seemed to smell a faint smell of tobacco and vaguely knew that someone was approaching.
But the only intact eyeball left could only see a rattle floating on the water, drifting with the current.
That was the last scene that the river officer of the Great Scenery Empire saw.
