Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Jingcheng is a city closer to Andu.

Therefore, here one can know what happens in the Anguo court at the first time.

At the same time, the time spent from here to Andu is relatively short.

Anguo is mainly composed of three major forces.

Eastern Sand, Western Sand, and Central Sand.

The central part of Shah is the strongest and is also the supporting force of the royal family. The eastern part of Shah is the tribe from which Empress Zhaojie came, and the western part of Shah is represented by Concubine Chu and Duke Chu.

At this time, Emperor An had three sons. The third prince was only three years old and his mother was of humble origin.

The second prince, Li Zhenye, was the biological son of Empress Zhaojie and the mother of the eldest prince, Li Shouji, who was also from the eastern part of Saudi Arabia.

The eastern part of Saudi Arabia should have supported the second prince Li Zhenye, but in the past five or six years, Empress Zhaojie and the old patriarch died one after another, and now the eldest prince's relatives are in power.

On the surface, they support the eldest prince, but no one can be 100% sure what the situation is behind the scenes.

The rift has existed, and the eastern part of the country is no longer united.

As a result, the lineage of the Emperor and Empress, which once threatened Emperor An, fell into decline and no longer had the power they once had.

Emperor An and Empress Zhaojie were childhood sweethearts, and his ascension to the throne was the result of strong support from the eastern part of the Shah.

In the past few years, without the constraints of Empress Zhaojie, Emperor An married Concubine Chu, favored Concubine Chu the most, won over the forces in western Saudi Arabia, and balanced the political situation.

He constantly divided, won over, and balanced, using the positions of crown prince and queen to seduce, always keeping his own position in the most stable position.

The battle of Tianmen Pass ended. Although An Guo suffered heavy losses, he captured Emperor Wu and seized three cities, which could be considered a great victory.

Emperor An Li Jun met the eldest prince Li Shouji, King of Hedong, and the second prince Li Zhenye, King of Luoxi, who came to greet him at Guideyuan.

After dealing with the open and secret struggles, Li Jun returned to the Andu Imperial City, ready to rest and figure out how to deal with Li Tongguang, the nephew of Emperor Wu who was captured alive.

In addition, Wu State's peace terms still require him to make the final decision.

However, God has destined that he will not be able to have peace for long.

The forces of the avengers and rebels have been gathering towards Andu, and the upper-class dignitaries of An State are still immersed in the joy of victory.

I don’t know that a major change is about to break out rapidly without warning.

All local governments have gradually strengthened control under the twelve-hour control.

The current upper echelons of Anguo have become a group of blind people who have lost their eyes.

The wind in early March.

With a hint of winter chill.

Outside the city of Andu, Zhao Xu, Ren Ruyi and others rode their horses to look at the capital from afar.

Although Anguo was a small country, Andu was the capital left behind by the dynasty that unified the nine countries a hundred years ago.

In addition, Anguo has been the most powerful country in the Nine Kingdoms region for the past hundred years, so Andu has always been regarded as the center of this region.

Therefore, its grandeur and magnificence are no less than that of the capital of Daxi and many large cities that Zhao Xu has seen.

Of course, this does not mean that its defensive capabilities can be compared with those of the capitals of the upper countries. After all, in terms of masters, there is a huge gap.

"Is it a bit risky to attack directly and take down Andu?" Zhao Xu's eyes were sharp and he had a smile on his face. He already regarded Andu as something in his hand. Jia Ling next to him was still a little worried.

Although she is already the actual controller of the Zhuyi Guard, years of oppression still leave a shadow in her heart.

Even though her current strength has broken through to the first-grade Zhixuan, and she has hidden power and can crush Commander Deng Hui, she still lacks confidence when facing the powerful figures in the upper echelons of Anguo.

Of course, except for Ren Ruyi and Jin Meiniang, all other Zhuyiwei five or six years ago had this subconscious mentality.

Zhao Xu did not say anything, but flew behind Jia Ling, rode the same horse, grabbed her hand, leaned over to her ear, pointed at the capital in the distance, and whispered, "Let me make it rain!"

Jia Ling's feelings for Zhao Xu had sprouted many years ago. Although they had not met in these years, the changes brought about by Zhao Xu made this feeling more and more sublimated.

The torment of missing her made her feel envious and jealous towards Ren Ruyi who was able to help Zhao Xu from time to time.

That's why during the Da Xi period, he sent his closest and most trusted confidant, Zhu Ji, to accompany him.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's series of actions made her instantly lose her usual image of the powerful Queen of the Red Guards, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

However, the sudden changes in the world the next moment calmed her panicked mood instantly.

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, the mighty power of heaven and earth changed the world. The originally clear sky above Andu was replaced by dark clouds.

After a moment of lightning and thunder, a spring rainstorm began to fall so magically.

In the city of Andu, whether it was the ordinary people, the upper nobles, and even Emperor Andu Yang Xuan, they all felt somewhat puzzled by this strange astronomical phenomenon.

Zhao Xu and his companions just admired the rain in silence as it only covered Andu from beginning to end.

All the subordinates looked at Zhao Xu with awe.

Among these people, only Ren Ruyi and Lu Xu followed Zhao Xu and witnessed the supreme grandmaster's tremendous power.

Others, even Jin Meiniang and Jia Ling, had only heard of it but had never seen it with their own eyes.

"Disperse!"

The rain had been falling for less than half a minute when Zhao Xu's thought caused the sky to change drastically again.

Andu returned to the clear sky as before.

Today, for the people living in Andu, they truly saw a spectacle that they had never seen in their lifetime.

This kind of change in the celestial phenomena eventually aroused the vigilance of the upper class, but the reality was that they lacked experience and were really confused.

"Don't worry at all, I've got you covered!"

As Zhao Xu said this, he suddenly felt two burning gazes.

He immediately tactfully returned to his mount.

Although Ren Ruyi, Jin Meiniang and Jia Ling have had a pleasant cooperation over the years, their personalities are actually incompatible.

"Tonight, I will take down Deng Hui and Chen Kui!" At this moment, Jia Ling no longer had any hesitation and was full of confidence.

Deng Hui is the commander of Zhuyiwei, and Chen Kui is currently the left-hand man. The two of them and their confidants are the only forces in Zhuyiwei that Jia Ling cannot control.

If he gets these two, Andu will truly become a blind man.

Zhao Xu showed his strength just now to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he wanted to get rid of the last uncertainty in the hearts of old people like Jia Ling, and on the other hand, he wanted to establish his authority in front of others.

After all, he had been gone for many years. Although the upper echelons had no problem with him, many people who had entered in recent years were still relatively unfamiliar with Zhao Xu.

Seeing is believing. After taking action today, his prestige will surely be unbreakable.

"Lu Xu, this is the plan you made. Is there anything else you need to pay attention to?"

After eliminating the hidden danger with a few gestures, Zhao Xu turned his attention to the military advisor Lu Xu.

"The main forces of Anguo are Shadong, Zhong, and Xi."

"With our absolute force, we can take over Andu and control the Central Desert. With our control over the local areas, the East and West tribes will have no choice but to surrender and perish."

"However, if the Lord is willing to take action and win the support of Western Sha, it will be the icing on the cake!"

Lu Xu is indeed a top strategist. In just one year since he arrived here, he has not only reformed Zhao Xu's power platform, but also has a clear understanding of the power structure of An Guo.

"Since you said so, I guess there are arrangements!"

"Duke Chu has been in contact for some time!"
