Chapter 488: The Prime Minister Reappears, Ade Tusi, Chen Ye, The Emperor's Mind

Yunzhou.

The original capital city.

This place has been occupied by Miao Yongcheng for many years. After experiencing the poisonous disaster, it has been at peace with the White Lotus Sect in these years, and the people can live in peace, and even feel happy.

At the Niwa Temple, Miao Yongcheng had a big fight with Ci'en, which ended in serious injuries.

If he didn't still have some cards to protect himself, he might have been killed by Bai Lian'er who had taken advantage of him. Even so, his vitality was severely damaged and he didn't recover for several years.

It was not until the past two years that he fully recovered by searching for the flesh and blood of exotic beasts and treasures from heaven and earth. However, he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.

Not long ago, one of his tribesmen came back.

Immediately afterwards, rumors of terrifying monsters began to spread in the city, and even became more and more intense as time passed. There were even similar rumors in other parts of Yunzhou.

But what is strange is that the military government represented by Miao Yongcheng simply posted a notice and did not conduct further investigation. This is also an important reason for the intensification of the situation.

Inside the military mansion.

Miao Yongcheng had no expression on his face as he looked at the information sent to him.

Look towards the dark side of the room.

“Forever over there succeeded, but also failed.”

"It was able to prevent Chen from rebuilding the Mercy Temple, but he died forever."

"Um?"

A cold air spread in the room, and a figure with purple skin walked out. The slight sunlight shone on his face, and his stiff but still majestic face revealed his identity.

Shockingly, it was the long-missing Prime Minister of the Yun Kingdom—Miaomu Dao!

"Dead?"

His voice was very stiff and cold, just like the trickster.

Miao Yongcheng glanced at him and handed the letter over.

A few days ago, it was his return that prompted him to send people to stop the reconstruction of the Mercy Temple, otherwise he would be full of food and go to enmity with a large family that had become the number one family.

pity.

He had no choice.

Although Miao Yongcheng, who has completed the ceremony, has declined in strength, his status in the clan is different from him. Even the clan leader has to obey him.

Moreover, its lifespan...

Miao Yongcheng's eyes were dark and unclear.

Miao Mudao looked at the letter in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Hmph, this Chen family is so majestic, just a mere mortal."

His pale eyes rolled, "Yongcheng, deal with them."

Miao Yongcheng lowered his head, "I'm afraid it may easily lead to a war between the two sides. We are already fighting the White Lotus Sect and fighting on two fronts. I'm afraid..."

"Stupid, what do you think I came out to do? Just to make this land wary."

"Although the last drug disaster achieved the expected goal, the final ending was ruined by an old monk. This is your incompetence. If your position was not difficult to replace, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me? ,

Now, it's just a matter of filling in that part of the tail. "

Looking at Miao Yongcheng who was silent, impatience flashed in Miao Mudao's eyes.

But he has not been a trickster for a long time, and his human nature has not yet become cold. His previous habits and habits are still there. He immediately said, "This is also what the ancestor meant. The reincarnation of other states has basically ended, and the master has been competed. It’s time to end the Yunba Second Prefecture. This time, we will deal with the White Lotus Sect and those restless forces.”

Miao Yongcheng immediately bowed down and said, "I will obey my ancestor's order."

Seeing Miao Yongcheng bowing down, Miao Mudao pulled up a stiff smile on his lips.

"By the way, I recommended you to my ancestor. You may be qualified to become the new emperor this time."

! ! !

Miao Yongcheng's eyes brightened, "Thank you, envoy."

Seeing Miao Yongcheng, who was once stubborn and wanted to be a loyal minister and good general, now pursuing fame and wealth, for some reason, Miao Mudao's gradually "dead" heart actually felt a hint of joy.

"That's it. After you finish handling the matter of Mercy Temple, we can officially start the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect."

"yes."

After saying that, he disappeared quietly.

Watching Naegi Dao leave, Miao Yongcheng's face was expressionless, his fists clenched, but he soon loosened them.

Slowly step by step, now he is no longer qualified to compete in front of the opponent.

However, it would not be bad to get their support to solve the White Lotus Sect, re-establish the dynasty, and enjoy the emperor's addiction.

At this moment, Miao Yongcheng has put behind him the guilt he felt towards Li Jiayuan.

"Wait a minute, the four chieftains in Bazhou are also making trouble. Why..."

He suddenly noticed a detail.

When the other party said they were going to solve the mess, they actually included Bazhou.

But logically speaking, isn't Bazhou's dominant force not a sacrificial altar?

Could it be said that the two are still in an alliance?

Miao Yongcheng thought secretly.

Afterwards, he began to think about the idea of ​​dealing with Chen. When necessary, he was prepared to go there in person and cut the mess with a quick sword!

As for now, hehe, maybe he can do something about it and not take action unless he takes action himself, otherwise it will be an all-out war with the Chen family.

Miao Yongcheng's eyes flashed with a look that did not belong to a warrior, but more like those of civil servants.

It just so happens that the Miao family, as an ancient family that has lasted for more than 800 years, has long been deeply rooted in the land of Yunba, and has great influence even in Bazhou.

…

Bazhou.

Dongchuan City.

A few days later.

After dealing with the Miao family members, Chen Chu did not punish Lejun, but left it unsolved, as if he wanted to see the opponent's performance.

After collecting the remains and killing people in the city, Chen Chu was ready to find trouble with the other two groups.

In addition to Miao Yongyuan, the direct murderer, there was also Fahua Temple, the instigator who wanted to drag people into the water, and Ade Tusi, the accomplice who took away the property.

"What can you do?"

Chen Chu asked others for advice.

But.

Chen Qiu stood up and said, "Young clan leader, please return to Heyang County."

?

Chen Chu frowned unhappily.

But.

Ge Xuan, Ge Wan, Long Yuan's team leader, Le Jun, the four of them also stood up, "Please ask the young clan leader to return to Heyang County."

Chen Chu stopped talking and looked at Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu looked at Chen Chu fearlessly, "Your identity is different."

"Now this matter has become a big deal. My Chen family has lost dozens of members and hundreds of affiliated personnel, and the core members of the Miao family have also died under your sword. Next, it is destined to be a game between the two families."

"Your identity will only add unnecessary trouble if you stay here. The best choice is to return to Heyang County and supervise the reconstruction of the Cibei Temple."

In fact, Chen Qiu wanted to persuade Chen Chu to go home, but Ge Wan was careful and felt that this would easily make him rebel, so it would be better to let him return to Heyang County.

The Cibei Temple in Heyang County is close to the border, and the family forces can provide support there at any time, so it is relatively safe.

Chen Chu looked at the five people and took a deep breath.

Reason told him that Chen Qiu was right.

But the scenes of the tragic deaths of those clansmen kept replaying in his mind, and his blood seemed to be boiling.

So.

What should I choose?

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Chu suddenly asked.

"We are going to go outside the Fahua Temple first, instead of..."

Chen Chu understood.

It was probably just pretending to be submissive and waiting for the family's reinforcements.

I have to say that this is a safe strategy.

But Chen Chu was unhappy.

He understood that it was his identity that restricted him. As the son of the clan leader, his life was related to the honor and disgrace of countless people.

But...

Chen Chu looked up, his eyes seemed to pass through the partition and looked at Chen Nuo.

Dad, if it were you, what would you do?

"Please ask the young clan leader to return to the county immediately."*5

The voice came again, making him upset.

Suddenly.

There was a slight sound of running outside, and a member of Longyuan suddenly ran in, "Report!"

"There is a large army advancing towards Dongchuan City! Judging from the flags and costumes, it must be the army of Ade Tusi!"

Everyone's expression changed.

Chen Chu immediately asked, "How many soldiers and whose flags?"

"About 60,000. The leading flag is a tiger pattern, without any words."

More than 60,000 people, this is already a lot. Even if the auxiliary soldiers and civilians are excluded, there are at least tens of thousands of combat soldiers.

The leading flag is a tiger pattern, which is a special honor for its core figures.

So, the ones coming may even be the main force.

"It seems that I don't have to leave."

Chen Chu smiled.

"No, let's go, let's go together and all go back to Heyang County." Chen Qiu said.

"Then what? What about these remains?"

"Also, Dongchuan County is located in the central eastern part of Bazhou. If the Ade family comes to us, they will definitely blockade it in advance. Now it is better to build a city to protect ourselves and wait for reinforcements. With me here, the people sent by the family will definitely not be weak."

Chen Qiu was speechless.

As expected.

The people of Longyuan sent another message. The Tumo Tusi army that attacked Heyang County separated a part of its manpower and began to impose martial law.

"How long will it take for the army to arrive?"

"At the marching speed, it will take about five days."

"Okay, without further ado, seal the city gates, summon the city guards, and open the warehouses to release the grain!"

Chen Chu stood up and ordered loudly.

At this moment, Chen Chu showed the decisiveness that a leader should have, as well as the calmness and composure in the face of major events.

"Ge Wan! Gather the doctors in the city and set up a medical camp."

"Chen Qiu, you go and subdue the officials in the county government, then organize the civilians, mobilize the people's power to make defense equipment, and appease the people's livelihood in the city."

"Ge Xuan, you go and take people to get all the clan soldiers of those families out, as well as their financial support. If they dare not provide financial support, the whole clan will be wiped out!"

"Le Jun, you and I will gather the army in the city and train them!"

"Chen Oh, continue to find out the news, and also pass on the situation here as soon as possible to ask for help."

Under his command, the few people who originally didn't know what to do calmed down and began to act according to his instructions.

Afterwards, Chen Chu immediately took Le Jun to the military camp and controlled the generals.

Because of the collapse of Yun State, most cities in Bazhou have some sense of autonomy, but they need to submit to Fahua Temple and pay taxes.

In a sense, Fahua Temple has fulfilled the ideal of the Buddhist country on earth, but unfortunately, it is of no use to the people on this land.

Under Chen Chu's vigorous and resolute action, the entire Dongchuan City began to move.

A war is inevitable.

...

Tianhe County.

In the factory.

A thirteen-year-old boy who looks very ordinary is working hard.

The heavy factory life makes everyone very tired, but there is no complaint on everyone's face. Instead, they are all working hard.

However, most of these workers are in their twenties and thirties, and there are no young people like the boy.

It's just that everyone seems to have gotten used to it and is not surprised by it. They talk to the boy very harmoniously.

Obviously, the boy has been working here for more than one or two days.

"Hey, you said your last name is Chen, is that true or not?" A dark-skinned young man of 18 or 19 wiped his sweat and asked the boy next to him.

"Haha, guess?"

"Don't worry, everyone says that you can get into the factory at your age, so you must have a big connection, but I don't think so. If you really have a big connection, how could you be allowed to get into the factory? Although it's good here, it's very tiring."

"So, I think you are..."

The boy frowned slightly without leaving a trace, "I am?"

"... Are you the illegitimate child of a big family?"

The dark-skinned young man gossiped, and when he saw the boy's face stiffened, he immediately thought he guessed right.

"Hey, tell me, which family is it?"

The boy twitched his mouth, "Chen."

"Ah? It's really Chen! My God!"

Looking at the young man's appearance, the boy narrowed his eyes and his face was sad.

"My name is Chen Huo, but I'm not an illegitimate child. My parents are missing, and my sister and I are the only ones left. Someone in the family bullied us, so they arranged me here. Poor my sister, alas~"

The dark-skinned young man was indignant, "Don't be afraid, you can still go and complain, that adult will definitely give you justice!"

For Chen Nuo, the people of Tianhe County trust and even believe in him.

But...

But Chen Huo looked like he couldn't bear to look back, "Alas, do you think I don't want to? But, I..."

After saying that, he shook his head and left.

Only the young man who was surprised and inexplicable was left, looking like he doubted his life.

After leaving the factory area.

Chen Ye finally laughed.

"What? Who are you teasing again? Second Young Master Chen."

When he mentioned Second Young Master Chen, he bit the words very hard.

A beautiful figure flashed by.

Although her face was a little immature, her beauty was already visible. Her long hair was tied up to her waist, and a touch of heroism between her eyebrows added to her elegance.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Oh, my dear sister, you are a good child in front of the queen, what wind brought you here?"

A small hand stretched out from behind and pinched Chen Ye's ear. Chen Ying was angry, "You dare to be sarcastic to me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have a meal! And, call me sister!"

Chen Ye was not annoyed. Her eyes lit up when she heard it, "Oh, sister, I was wrong. Hurry up and put away your magic power and let your brother see what delicious food you brought."

Looking at his reckless appearance, Chen Ying sighed helplessly and took the food box out from behind.

"Eat quickly."

Opening the food box, there were braised lion head, Dongpo pork, stir-fried green vegetables, winter melon and pork ribs soup, a bowl of rice and a few ringo.

This is already a luxury for ordinary people, but it is just average for the children of the Chen family.

Not to mention the direct descendants and warriors.

But Chen Ye ate like a starving ghost, with an intoxicated look on his face.

Chen Ying, who was beside him, felt a little distressed and said unhappily, "You said what to your father that day, why did he send you to this factory and deduct most of your wages, it's simply a black worker."

"And even mother agreed to bring you here, grandma's plea was useless."

Hearing this.

Chen Ye, who was eating delicious food, suddenly recalled his experience a year ago.

At that time, he was very happy. He had food, clothes, and everything in the family. He was also a warrior with good talent. He could be called a winner in life.

Until he accidentally ran into the mirror and found that his father actually communicated with it.

Then, his father asked him not to tell anyone and asked him a few more questions.

He didn't remember the first few questions.

He only remembered that it was the following questions that changed his father's expression.

Question: What kind of person do you want to be?

Answer: The most secure person!

Question: If a bowl of sugar is mixed with salt, how do you distinguish it?

Answer: Don't distinguish it, since it is harmless, you can eat it all.

Question: If you are given two arrows, and you have to face two intelligent beasts, one of which can be killed with one arrow, and the other requires two arrows, what will you do?

Answer: First shoot the beast that needs two arrows, and then shoot whoever is disobedient.

After asking these questions, Dad's expression was very strange, and he even fired all the teachers who taught him.

Although those teachers were not very good at teaching people, he actually liked them very much.

Then, Dad asked him a few more questions about people's wisdom, human heart, suffering and so on.

After that, Dad threw him here.

He said that he wanted to cultivate empathy so that he would not become a disaster in the future.

After this year, he finally figured it out.

Especially when he stayed in the factory, lived with the workers day and night, watched these people who were exactly like him, ate the food that he used to think was garbage and it was so delicious, and even wanted to take it back to his family...

To earn a few more cents, he worked overtime day and night, just to make more money for his family.

There are also those who earn medical expenses for their parents, save money for the bride price to marry their beloved girl, and support their children to study...

Palms are worn out, fingers are broken, and the body is squeezed.

He finally saw the suffering, and this was actually a situation that his father had improved. When the workers mentioned his father, they all expressed admiration and gratitude.

And the suffering doesn't end there. He lives in a factory, but sometimes he goes out, sweating profusely outside as a rickshaw puller, performing on the street just to make people laugh and earn a living...

Finally, when he was hungry and struggling to provide for three meals a day, he seemed to have forgotten those lofty ideals.

Dignity, ideals, beliefs, these lofty things are so powerless in the face of hunger and pressing reality.

Ordinary people already try their best just to stay alive.

Therefore, the answer given at the beginning may, probably, maybe, there are indeed some problems.

This is what he has learned this year.

However, it seems that I can't tell myself this sister.

Chen Ye smiled and said, "What happened? It's nothing. I probably said something rude and made dad angry."

As soon as you hear it, you know it's perfunctory.

Chen Ying was too lazy to say any more, "Here, this is the money given to you. Keep it yourself and don't spend it randomly."

"Okay, okay, thank you sister~"

"Don't drag your tail, it's disgusting."

Watching Chen Ying leave, Chen Ye shook off the money in his hand and walked towards an alley.

There, there are some children who have lost their loved ones due to various reasons and entered the orphanage.

However, the orphanage is an industry with no output at all, and the funds provided are not much. Although they will not go hungry, if they want to eat good food, or even new clothes, don't even think about it.

As for why he went there.

Hmm.

Probably, probably, he just wants to get some help. He, Chen Ye, the second young master of the Chen family, likes the feeling of being crowned by the stars!

After buying some meat buns and meat dishes, Chen Ye walked away as if he didn't recognize his relatives.

"Dali! Ergou! Sandezi! Fourth sister! And the younger brothers, your young master is here! Come out to greet him quickly!"

only.

The familiar sound of greeting did not sound.

What came into view were the shivering children huddled in the corner.

And several adults who looked tall and powerful.

There are both men and women, there are knife wounds on the hands, and there is a bit of evil in the eyes. They should fight often, but they have never killed anyone.

Looking at the crushed food residue on the ground and the faint smell of alcohol, all things considered, this is a malicious act of bullying!

Chen Ye made a quick judgment.

Take a deep breath.

"Dad, your rule is not as good as you said. At least you have been negligent in terms of public security."

"Hey! Boy, where did you come from? Don't mind your own business. These guys stole my money."

Perhaps seeing the workers' clothes on his body, these people actually chose to drive him away.

Chen Ye looked at him without changing his expression and talked eloquently.

"Nowadays, you can make money by doing anything in the city, so you don't have to take risks. So, it seems that you are part of a gang, right?"

"At the beginning, the three major gangs surrendered, so there was no thorough cleaning. There are men and women. They should not be from the Green Snake Department, so they are the other two?"

! ! !

The expressions of several people changed drastically.

I just went out to have a drink, but I didn't expect my feet to be stepped on by a few children whose clothes were white from washing, so I vented a little bit.

Anyway, they are orphans. As long as they are not beaten to death, the orphanage will not make a big move. If not, they can just leave the city. After all, no one knows their identities.

Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the gutter and met a kid with some knowledge.

The tall woman narrowed her eyes and walked towards Chen Ye.

"Good boy, you have some eyesight, but why don't you run? Look at this handsome little face, it's such a pity. Don't worry, we will send you to a quiet place together. Don't get me wrong, we are not going to kill you."

"Oh, it seems that you are also part-time in the kidnapping business? Uncle Deng, no, you old Deng, look what you have managed!" Chen Ye suddenly started to curse.

Then.

Puff puff puff puff!

Pentakill!

Blood sprayed and the head fell to the ground.

Chen Ye had a small flying knife in his hand and twirled it casually with his fingers, "Haha, I have to give Lao Den'er some advice to eradicate gangsters and eliminate evil."

Then, looking at the children huddled in the corner, he no longer looked so careless.

Instead, he approached them with a gentle expression, hugged them, patted them gently, and comforted them softly.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's safe. Brother, I will kill them all."
