Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 126: Palace Banquet

After the deaths of two emperors in succession, the ascension of the third Emperor Taichang seemed much hasty.

Fortunately, with Chu Danqing's assistance, the power transition process went smoothly.

Then, Chu Danqing began to promote the work of suppressing bandits.

This action caused an uproar among the green forest bandits.

They've been burning, killing, and looting for so many years that it's become a common practice, and you actually want to get rid of them? Is that reasonable?
Chu Danqing didn't care at all what these bandits were thinking, as he had activated a hidden mission.

[Hidden Mission: Before returning, eliminate more than 50% of the bandits in Taichang Dynasty]

[Trial Difficulty: A-Level (Heroic)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 10000 (1 additional Paradise Points for every 200% increase in progress after reaching the target), Attribute Points +4]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -20000, Random Attribute -1]

After acceptance, a percentage value appeared to facilitate Chu Danqing to check the progress.

It is impossible to completely eliminate them, but it is already very good if we can get rid of half of them.

Chu Danqing began to suppress the bandits with violent means through the state machinery of Taichang Dynasty, and the progress was still very impressive.

However, the young emperor was very dissatisfied with his behavior of monopolizing power.

While disguising himself, the little emperor kept in touch with ministers from all sides in the court.

However, due to Chu Danqing's military power and prestige, everyone was watching.

Compared with the previous two Taichang emperors, this Taichang emperor was more like a rational political animal.

It is both a good thing and a bad thing. As long as the other party is in power, he will move forward with his political ambitions, and anyone who stands in his way will die.

The young emperor mainly relied on patience and it would take him one or two years to succeed.

Let alone one or two years, one or two months would be enough for Chu Danqing to complete the hidden mission and run away.

During this period, he practiced while paying attention to the bandit suppression.

It is definitely not his job to conduct, everyone has their own expertise.

How could he know how to suppress bandits? He couldn't possibly order the frontline soldiers to move their bows and arrows five meters to the left.

It's okay to command three or five people, but this requires macro-control of all parts of the Taichang Dynasty. If he had this ability, he would have gone into business long ago and not been crushed by his own products.

The progress of suppressing bandits was slow, but the progress of cultivation was different.

After completely refining the remaining Five Cloud Pills and adding some Five Elements Qi provided by Konggu Youlan, he upgraded the Five Elements Spirit Beast Technique and all the skills it carried to LV5.

It took a total of half a month, mainly because the Wuyun Pill was used up and the resources provided by Konggu Youlan were too few, so I could only grind them slowly.

He thought he could reach level 6, but he overestimated his qualifications.

[Five Elements Spirit Beast Secret (Inheritance) LV.5]

[Mana +100 per level]

[Health +100 per level]

【Inherited Skills】

[Five Elements Orb (Active/Passive) LV.5: A permanent five elements orb surrounds the orb, equivalent to 50 shield points. It also deals 50 five elements damage to the target it touches. Recondensing after shattering requires 5 mana points.]

[Golden Spirit Body (Passive) LV.5: Summoned creatures’ negative resistance +50 points]

[Wood Spirit Life (Passive) LV.5: Summoned Creature HP +500 points]

[Water Spirit Nourishment (Passive) LV.5: Summoned Creature Mana +500 points]

[Fire Spirit Refining (Passive) LV.5: Summoned creatures’ attack power +50 points]

[Earth Spirit Guardian (Passive) LV.5: Summoned creatures’ defense +50 points]

With the improvement of the Five Elements Spirit Beast Art, the respective increases in the three derivative skills of the Spirit Seal, Spirit Pearl, and Spirit Flag also increased from 3 digits to 5 digits.

"Things like cultivation really consume resources."

"With resources, we can make rapid progress; without resources, we can move at a snail's pace." Chu Danqing couldn't help but sigh.

As for his over-reliance on resources? Well, his aptitude was there, and the daily progress he could make without relying on resources was truly unsuitable for the fast-paced life in Paradise.

There is no need to worry about relying too much on external things which will lead to a weak foundation. The Wuyun Pill in his hand is a product of the Guo family.

If the pills given to their disciples by big forces have side effects, then what kind of big family is this? They deserve to be disbanded long ago if they can't even solve such a small problem.

"Next, we can condense spiritual patterns and spiritual scrolls." Chu Danqing looked at the next plan. It would not be difficult to cultivate these two derivative skills to the maximum level.

Ten hours would be enough, but he planned to take a break.

Although the pace is fast, we must also combine work and rest.

He is not made of steel. His body needs to relieve stress after high-intensity training, otherwise continuing to increase the intensity will cause serious injuries.

Keep challenging your limits and you will not break through the upper limit, it will only lead to hemiplegia.

How many athletes can remain without hidden injuries after retirement?
The geniuses with special physiques are another matter.

Anyway, he couldn't do it without the protection and help of elixirs and props.

"Xiao Chu, a letter." Seeing that Chu Danqing had stopped practicing, Dabao took the opportunity to get an invitation.

Chu Danqing was concentrating on his cultivation and with Dabao protecting him, he naturally didn't pay much attention to the outside world.

He picked up the invitation, which was sent to him by the little emperor, inviting him to a banquet.

"Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner tonight? Are you planning to hold a Hongmen Banquet?" Chu Danqing looked at the gilded invitation in his hand.

His last name wasn't Liu, so he wasn't immune to the Hongmen Feast. Chu Danqing considered refusing, but then he thought, since he had done nothing wrong, what was there to feel guilty about?

It is true that he is not Emperor Gaozu of Han, but the person opposite him is not the Overlord of Chu either.

If we talk about the King of Chu, he should be the one, Guo Ming's military prowess is there for all to see.

Chu Danqing looked at the time and saw that there was still about half an hour before the banquet started.

After a quick tidy up and washing her hair, she took Dabao to the banquet.

After rushing and hurrying, we finally arrived before the start.

After arriving, Dabao started eating without any hesitation.

Chu Danqing also wanted to just show off to his fans like Dabao, but unfortunately his status was too high and he was always disturbed.

He wanted to ignore it, but because the logistics arrangements for the bandit suppression were still in the court, he could only follow the personal connections.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than half a month, and the position of Queen has been vacant until now. I wonder who Commander Chu has his eyes on?" Someone suddenly asked this question.

Chu Danqing replied calmly, "This is a royal affair. I have no right to interfere. Your Majesty must make the decision."

Who the queen is is none of his business.

The little emperor was also a little confused by Chu Danqing's words.

In his plan, Chu Danqing's behavior shouldn't have been like this.

Chu Danqing's image is that of a powerful official who monopolizes power and eliminates dissidents, but he actually did not interfere in the selection of the queen.

The main reason was that during Chu Danqing's training, the progress in suppressing bandits had reached 25%, and only half of the progress was left.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another month at most, and there is no need for him to get involved in these things.

"What? Your Majesty can't decide for yourself?" Chu Danqing looked at the little emperor and continued, "Then take your time to choose. There are so many people in your harem, there will always be someone suitable."

"I remember you had a Crown Princess. Shouldn't His Majesty also become the Queen when he ascended the throne?"

Just like the previous Emperor Taichang, after he ascended the throne, the former Crown Princess became the Queen.

But it seems like it doesn't exist at all.

The current situation is rather strange. Although the young emperor does not have a queen, he has a grand empress dowager and an empress dowager.

The two of them seemed to have always wanted to rule the country from behind the scenes, but Chu Danqing was too aggressive, which prevented their idea from being implemented.

"I want to establish a queen, but the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are not happy about it, so it has been put on hold for the time being." The little emperor hesitated for a moment and explained the situation.

It’s not that he didn’t try, but there was really no other way.

"You are the emperor, you have to stand up." Chu Danqing said immediately.

"Commander Chu, you don't know." A minister explained, "The Grand Empress Dowager lives in Yangqi Palace and refuses to give it up. The Empress Dowager is staying in Qingrong Palace for long-term care. Your Majesty is still temporarily living in the Eastern Palace."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Danqing looked sideways.

He understood the young emperor's idea and wanted to use his own power to strike down the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager so that he could return to orthodoxy.

"How dare they insult Your Majesty like this!" Chu Danqing slammed the table.

Everyone was frightened by his behavior.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will handle this matter." Chu Danqing said, and stood up to gather people.

"Commander Chu is so majestic." A voice came, and then the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager walked in one after another, surrounded by a crowd of people.

Chu Danqing took a quick look and saw that these two people had won over some of the loyal followers of the previous two Taichang emperors and incorporated the remaining personnel of the Investigation Bureau, forming a new force.

The main reason is that Chu Danqing has been practicing for some time. Even if he has paid attention, his focus is on suppressing bandits.

Manpower is limited, and he has to divide his energy. His Five Elements Spirit Beast Technique cannot reach LV.5.

"I'm here to see how Commander Chu should resolve this matter." The Empress Dowager said coldly.

At the same time, a group of people armed with swords and armor rushed in.

This group of people had a disorganized formation and acted without a trace of discipline. It was obvious that they were not regular troops.

"Green forest bandits?" Chu Danqing recognized their origins.

"Chu has good vision." A burly man holding two axes in the lead sneered, "You corrupt officials have deceived the emperor, and you have persecuted a group of us green forest heroes for no reason."

"Today I will kill you, this dog official, and restore order to the world."

The other party spoke righteously, but only he knew what he was actually thinking.

"That's it? There's not even a master." Chu Danqing's tone was full of regret.

Among this group of people, the number of masters combined is not even as many as the ones we encountered in the ghost market.

It seems that after Li Wanwu's death, the imperial court has completely lost control over the Green Forest.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing took action in time, otherwise there would be chaos again.

After all the summons were summoned, Chu Danqing said directly: "Kill all these bandits, don't leave any alive."

Innocent? The other party has pointed a gun at him, he will not show mercy.

Being a good person does not mean having no bottom line. Don't hesitate when it's time to take action.

As the saying goes, killing is to protect lives, killing karma is not killing people.

If we talk about human rights to the robbers, what should we say to the victims?
The battle began and it was an immediate one-sided victory.

The enemy's mob had no power to resist at all.
