Witch Wind

Chapter 151: Wu Gui Xu Fu (Part )

The ghost general, several feet tall, holding a long spear, cruised over the Black Dragon Terrace.

More than a million ghost schools and ghost lieutenants formed a large formation, with murderous aura and phosphorescent light all over their bodies, patrolling back and forth in the Black Dragon Platform.

Cough, cough, cough.

Although they all practice the powerful ghost king's method, and their ghost bodies are as strong as diamond, these armored ghosts in the Tongtian Yuling Banner are ghost practitioners after all. Their bodies can transform from indestructible diamond into a wisp of cold wind at any time.

This way, it is easy to get into the underground and search for cellars, secret vaults, etc.

Apart from the common people, those who could live in Black Dragon City were all the prominent and powerful people in Dongyun Island Union, and the top wealthy businessmen also lived here. These nobles and wealthy businessmen all had the same hobbies as the local rich people in Nanxun Town. They dug huge cellars under their houses to store gold and silver.

Dongyun has many islands, gold mountains and silver mountains. Gold and silver are quite cheap here, and there are a lot of gold and silver among the people.

For a country's finances, too much gold and silver is obviously not a good thing. But for Xing Tianli, hey, hey, isn't this just a big piece of meat pie falling from the sky?
Gusts of cold wind continued to blow out from the mansions, blowing out countless gold ingots, silver ingots, gold ingots, silver ingots, and even gold coins and silver coins privately minted by the Dongyun nobles in the style of gold coins and silver coins from the hundreds of countries in the Far West.

There are also various other gold and silver jewelry, as well as gilded Saint and Saint Queen, and pure gold statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva recorded in many Buddhist scriptures, etc. - Dongyun’s main belief is the Saint and Saint Queen, but Dongyun people also devoutly believe in many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The mixed beliefs are quite strange.

Gold and silver of various colors were piled up like mountains, the quantity was astonishing.

There were also many priests and witches who were killed. The armored soldiers and evil spirits they originally controlled, together with the millions of the lowest-grade and weakest evil spirits in the Tongtian Yuling Banner, created gusts of dark wind that swept across the entire Black Dragon City.

Military camps and warehouses everywhere, all kinds of military equipment and supplies were turned out by these evil spirits. They carried huge ammunition boxes on their backs, held various automatic firearms in their hands, stirred up cold winds, and rolled up artillery of all sizes, and returned to Black Dragon Terrace, turning it into a huge war fortress.

Hey, these evil ghosts have an average strength of more than 10,000 jin. They can carry tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, fly in the sky, walk on the ground, enter water, enter fire, and shuttle through the jungle. Any rugged path is a smooth road under their feet. They use these advanced firearms and are much more powerful than those Dongyun soldiers.

Not to mention, some three-inch and five-inch cannons required dozens of Dongyun soldiers to serve each cannon. In the hands of these evil ghosts, sometimes a stronger evil ghost could carry a cannon and run around, and stick it on the ground, and a ghost could easily control the cannon to fire randomly.

Such fighting power, wow!

Xing Tianli couldn't help but sigh, thanking the three old ghosts who slaughtered the entire Black Dragon City. So many gold, silver and jewelry, so many guns and artillery, he was a little embarrassed.

In the ruins of the imperial court hall, Xing Tianli was accepting all kinds of gold and silver brought back by the evil ghosts, while listening with a smile to the mutual accusations between Ying Zhe, Ying E and the two family heads, and admiring their faces as they attacked and accused each other.

Several guys scolded each other for a long time, and gradually, Xing Tianli figured out the reasons and consequences of the annihilation of the Dayu Dynasty's Black Borneo expeditionary force ten years ago.

Of course, it was the Dongyun people who took action.

But in fact, it was someone inside the Dayu Dynasty who worked together with the Dongyun people to deal a fatal blow to the Black Borneo Expeditionary Force.

Some powerful people within the Dayu Dynasty hired the Dongyun people with the entire Black Borneo as a reward and put the only new army of the Dayu Dynasty ten years ago to death.

And the reason is very simple.

The Black Borneo Expeditionary Force was a new army, a product of the New Deal, and the New Deal had a group of new parties. This group of new parties pressed forward in the court, competing with the old princes and bureaucrats for control of the government.

In particular, they felt that the new policies were strong enough and their influence on the court and the local areas was deep-rooted enough. On a whim, with the support of the emperor at the time, they shouted the slogans of "changing the state system" and "constitutional monarchy."

The first target to be overthrown for "changing the state system" and "constitutional monarchy" was the empress dowager who had been ruling the country behind the scenes for many years.

So, a huge pie fell on the heads of the Dongyun people.

The Dongyun people's fleet invaded Black Borneo and completely destroyed the Black Borneo Expeditionary Force by surprise attack.

On the third day after the Black Borneo Expeditionary Force was annihilated, a bloody purge of the New Party was launched in the Dayu Dynasty's capital, Fentian City. The New Party was caught off guard and captured in just half a day. In the evening of the same day, the then emperor "fell into the lake while boating and unfortunately died suddenly". That night, the three judicial departments joined forces to handle the case, and in one night, they sentenced many of the New Party leaders to the serious crime of "killing nine generations of their clan".

They did not wait until the autumn of that year. On the second day after the three judicial officials finalized the charges, at noon at Caishikou, a group of New Party bigwigs, including Xiangliu Baihu, and their relatives in Beijing were beheaded, and the ground was covered with their heads.

What followed was that bureaucrats at all levels in the Dayu Dynasty, in all provinces, prefectures, and counties, launched a full-scale counterattack against the new policy officials and strangled them completely.

The vigorous new policy movement of the Dayu Dynasty suddenly disappeared, and the national destiny of the Dayu Dynasty, which had just begun to improve, was broken again.

"How can I believe what you say?" Xing Tianli asked a ghost to bring a big chair. He sat steadily in the middle of the ruins of the court hall and asked Ying Zhe, Ying E and others to kneel upright in front of him.

"There is a secret agreement!" Ying Zhe sighed, he raised his head and looked at Xing Tianli seriously: "There is a secret agreement between the royal family of Dayu Dynasty and my royal family of Dongyun. It is stamped with the seals of the Queen Mother of Dayu Dynasty and the eight iron-hatted councilors. There is a lack of the emperor's seal, but it is not important, right?"

Ying Zhe smiled flatteringly: "Anyway, the Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty at that time was also dead."

Xing Tianli looked straight at Ying Zhe.

Ying Zhe stood up very smartly, and under the escort of two ghost generals, he ran to the underground secret hall of his bedroom, and brought over the secret agreement signed between him, the Queen Mother of the Dayu Dynasty, the eight iron-hat kings, the correspondence between him and some high-level officials of the Dayu Dynasty, and the secret documents of bargaining.

'Gudong'!
Ying Zhe knelt on the ground again. He kowtowed to Xing Tianli and said very obediently: "You are wise. There are a group of very powerful cultivators in the Black Borneo expeditionary force of the Dayu Dynasty. They are the descendants of the Wu family of the three ancient families, the Yu, Xia, and Shang families. I, Dongyun, will not go to such trouble to attack them."

"In the battle to annihilate the Black Borneo Expeditionary Force, their ordinary soldiers were all killed by our Dongyun army, but as for the officers of the three ancient families... ahem, we deliberately let them escape. In order to facilitate their escape, we even deliberately used a group of the weakest scum to pretend."

"As a result, there were several remarkable ones among them who were able to slaughter thousands of people with one man. They were truly worthy of being the heroes of the Celestial Empire, the land of our parents. However, they were still killed. We deliberately made way for them to escape, but they refused to leave and there was nothing we could do!"

"As a result, they were killed by the masters of the Dayu Dynasty." Ying Zhe looked at Xing Tianli seriously: "May I ask your name, Your Highness? You are here to avenge them, right? The culprit is not me, Dong Yun."

"I, Dong Yun, have paid enough, haven't I?"

"We were just hired assassins. We didn't really kill them. When we besieged them, even the priests and maidens of Penglai Shrine were just pretending to be at a distance. They were just a bunch of low-class ronin and low-class people who were just pretending to besiege them."

"The real murderer who killed them was the Queen Mother of the Great Yu Dynasty and the eight iron-hatted kings!" Ying Zhe looked at Xing Tianli cautiously: "What do you think?"

Xing Tianli slowly flipped through the secret agreement handed over by Ying Zhe, looking at the secret documents in which he and Dayu Chao bargained with some high-level officials.

Haha, really, really...

New Party.

New Deal.

Is there anything wrong?
Xing Tianli didn't know what the so-called New Deal or the New Party did. But looking at the appearance of the Black Borneo Expeditionary Force, it was probably just the routine of "learning from foreign barbarians and reforming to become stronger".

The New Party was very lucky. Their new policies really turned around the national situation of the Dayu Dynasty. The fact that a Black Borneo expeditionary force was able to occupy such a huge resource area and colony was enough to prove that their actions were successful.

The New Party was very unfortunate. They were too successful. When the power they controlled threatened the Queen Mother of the Great Yu Dynasty and some old-school nobles, they were doomed to be destroyed. If it were a normal, true Dharma Ending Age, a world where everyone was ordinary mortals with flesh and blood, the New Party would have a powerful fleet and a strong expeditionary force. They would be able to hold the government hostage and change the world. However, although this world has entered the Dharma Ending Age, some extraordinary powers still remain.

It is unknown how many servants from the Forbidden Palace of the Dayu Dynasty were dispatched.

Xing Tiantongming, Xing Tianli's father, a senior general of the Black Borneo Expeditionary Force and the fleet commander in Black Pearl Harbor, died in battle. The death of Xing Tiantongming also meant the annihilation of the Black Borneo Expeditionary Force. Li Kuisheng and other remnants who had escaped by chance could no longer make any difference.

Thus, the New Party collapsed.

Thus, the New Deal withered.

As a result, the old officials complacently began to collect empty salaries, keep concubines, sell official positions and titles, and cooperated with the foreign masters to build concessions, squeeze the land, and harm the people of the Dayu Dynasty.

The old powerful lords who had extensive connections and great influence in the local areas and the court were satisfied, so they, from a high position and with great wisdom and power, wiped out all the "rebels" of the new policies, swept away the evil spirits, restored the righteousness of the court, and made the old saintly empress dowager, who naturally received the full support of all the officials.

As a result, the dragon throne under the Queen Mother's buttocks, which was where the government was ruled from behind the curtain, became more stable.

As a result, the current emperor, who had just been pointed out to the throne by the Empress Dowager ten years ago, became more and more free and at ease. He could call on any troupe from the pornographic theater to perform pornographic plays in the palace.

As for the decline of the country, as for the bullying of the great powers, as for the fact that Dongyun was allowed to grow stronger, and even that nearly 10 million Dongguo immigrants in Black Borneo were all controlled and enslaved by Dongyun people...

They are just poor people.

The Empress Dowager, the old saint, and many dignitaries continue to sing and dance. Those who keep gigolos continue to keep gigolos, those who keep sisters-in-law continue to keep their sisters-in-law, hey, they even keep their brothers-in-law. I wonder how comfortable their lives are!

"No wonder. We were dealing with the weaving department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before. They monopolized the entire Jiangnan region. They sold the best silk, satin, damask, gauze, tea, wine, salt, sugar, and even porcelain, lacquer, hemp, and grain. All import and export shares were decided by them. However, the general account book at the end of each year was in the red."

Xing Tianli smiled, he raised his left foot and wanted to kick Ying Zhe.

But suddenly he thought of the enormous strength he now possessed and the fact that he had not yet gotten used to the violent power of the body of the 'Five Elements Heavenly Wizard'. He stretched out his finger and hooked at a ghost soldier wandering outside who had the lowest strength, probably only at the stage of refining essence into qi.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the ghost with a pale face and wrapped in an ancient Qin heavy armor floated over silently.

He sensed Xing Tianli's intention, and picked up a large pillar as thick as a water tank from the ruins of the imperial court. Xing Tianli coughed, and the ghost soldier was stunned, then he picked up his long spear and chopped the pillar into the thickness of a thumb, and then hit Ying Zhe on the back with a "snap".

With one blow, the dragon robe on Ying Zhe was shattered, and the flesh on his back was torn apart, leaving a bloody mark about an inch wide. The blood and flesh were blurred and looked very hideous.

Ying Zhe screamed miserably, twitched wildly on the ground, and even foam came out of his mouth.

Ying E, Beihe Cangming and Nanshan Huaju on the side had twitching faces and kowtowed to Xing Tianli hurriedly, fearing that this ghost would give them a hard blow.

They suddenly realized why the ghost had used his long spear to cut the pillar.

The pillar was as thick as a water tank and was made of rosewood. If that ghost were to hit Ying Zhe, wouldn't Ying Zhe be turned into a meat patty?

Ying Zhe cried out in a hoarse voice: "It's my fault, it's my fault."

Xing Tianli sighed softly, "You are shameless enough. Black Borneo has been handed over to you. You Dongyun has the royal family, Beihe family, Nanshan family, and more than a dozen other powerful dukes' business companies. You also want to do business with the weaving department. Tsk tsk, you also enjoy the special supply discounts in the secret agreement."

"Look, look, the many special products of the East Country that the Weaving Department provides you with are of the best quality and the lowest price. Haha, in Jiangdong Province, the average market price of a package of high-quality raw silk fluctuates between 280 and 320 taels, and your Dongyun Company only pays 100 taels for the goods from the Weaving Department."

"Let's say a package of raw silk costs three hundred taels on average? If the weaving department sells you a package of raw silk, the cost will be two hundred taels."

"And these two hundred taels of silver, in the final analysis, will still be counted on the heads of the people of the East Country."

"This is true for raw silk, tea, porcelain and other goods."

"The silk, porcelain and other valuable goods from the East Country originally had a profit of twenty or thirty times in your Dongyun. In recent years, you have been buying goods from the weaving factory at 30% of the market price, and your profit has reached more than a hundred times."

"A hundred times the profit. How much of this money was sucked from the blood of the people of the East Country?"

"No wonder. The northwestern provinces have suffered from severe drought for several years. Hundreds of millions of people have become refugees and almost have to trade their children for food, but the court has not allocated even a grain of rice or a penny of relief. The money that should have been used for people's livelihood must have been taken away by you Dongyun people."

Xing Tianli sneered.

Ying Zhe howled miserably. After enduring the initial intense pain, he held back his tears and howled hoarsely, "What you said is not fair. Excuse me, the big jade has been broken into pieces from top to bottom. Even if I, Dongyun, don't go and suck the marrow out of it, I can get enough benefits from them."

Ying Zhe raised his head, panting, spitting white foam, and said in a hoarse voice: "Even if I, Dongyun, don't take advantage of this, will the benefits given by the Weaving Department to the Far West Hundred Countries be reduced? The huge amount of gold and silver raised by the Weaving Department every year is collected from the people. In the final analysis, isn't most of it given to the Jiazi Walker of the Three Ancient Families?"

"What if, even if there is no Dongyun, no Western Hundred Kingdoms, and no three ancient families walking for a century to suck blood from the Great Yu Dynasty... hey, hey, hey, do you think that the Great Yu Dynasty and the Yu Clan's bunch of mountain barbarians and slaves will care about the common people?"

"Without us, the old bitch Queen Mother will become even more extravagant, and those princes and ministers will abuse the people. Will they use even a penny of the gold and silver we have taken away for the people?"

Xing Tianli looked at Ying Zhe coldly.

He suddenly smiled: "Yes, you are right. The culprits and the biggest disasters are still those in Dayu Dynasty... Hehe. However, I don't have any great feelings of worrying about the country and the people. I am just a..."

Xing Tianli looked up at the sky with melancholy. He muttered in a low voice: "I am just a liberal arts student who can't make a nuclear bomb even if I travel through time. Tsk, I am just here to avenge my father in this life. I am just an ordinary person, right?"

"Fortunately, there are always people patching up the mess."

Xing Tianli looked towards the direction of Dayu Dynasty, and towards the northwest of Dayu Dynasty.

After watching for a long time, he murmured, "I don't know what Uncle Li is doing, ahem."

He stood up, shook the Magic Bamboo lightly, and with a loud "swish", a flash of sword light swept across three miles, smashing several palaces next to the Imperial Court Hall into pieces.

He looked down at Ying Zhe and the others who were kneeling on the ground in silence, not daring to move, and said in a deep voice: "It's a headache. How should I deal with you? Kill you? Let Dongyun return to the chaotic world of the Warring States? It seems very good."

Ying Zhe and others shook their heads frantically.

Xing Tianli said in a deep voice: "Well, or, hold the emperor hostage to control the princes? Support a new Holy Emperor? It seems very interesting."

Xing Tianli smiled maliciously, and tapped the ground lightly with Tongtian Miaozhu again and again, poking out tiny, bottomless holes in the ground.
