I have Sharingan in another world
Chapter 39 Appointing the Lord of Snow Rock City
At that time, the Tianxing Dynasty was a place where all the courts paid tribute, and the capital was the most prosperous city on the Spirit Pattern Continent. Everyone wanted to go to the capital to become an official and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor. However, in recent years, the Tianxing Dynasty has been plagued by treacherous officials and wicked men, and the entire dynasty has been thrown into chaos. Therefore, the students of Luoshen Academy are naturally no longer willing to go to the capital to seek development.
As time went by, the agreement between Luoshen Academy and Tianxing Dynasty was gradually forgotten by both parties. No one expected that Tianxing Dynasty would bring up this nominal agreement at this time, leaving the deans speechless for a moment.
"Well..." The dean of the Spirit Pattern Department said with some difficulty, "Even if there is such an agreement, it also depends on the student's wishes. Our Luo Shen Academy does not have the right to decide where a student will develop in the future."
Huangfu Chen was explaining the geographical location and local customs of Xueyan City to Zhou Shu. The more Zhou Shu listened, the more excited he became. In other words, if he became the lord of Xueyan City, even in such a remote place, the Heavenly Star Emperor would not be able to control him at all!
Emperor Tianxing patiently persuaded him, "Zhou Shu, you should think it over carefully. Snow Rock City is vast and sparsely populated. If you become the Lord of Snow Rock City, I can exempt you from taxes for 10 years."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shu's heart stirred. It seemed that the Heavenly Star Emperor was using both threats and inducements to try and get him to take up a post in Snow Rock City!
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "But what about my studies?"
Seeing Zhou Shu relent, the dean of the Spirit Pattern Department seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. If Zhou Shu was unwilling to go to Snow Rock City to take up the post of city lord, Luo Shen Academy would indeed have no way to force him to go to Snow Rock City. In that case, it was unknown what demands the Heavenly Star Emperor would make.
"There's no need to worry about that. You can wait until you graduate from your first year and pass the test. Then you can go directly to Snowrock City to become the city lord. At that time, your student status will be retained, and you can come back to study the resources within the academy at any time," the dean of the Spirit Rune Department explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shu thought of Grey Wolf's security team. It wasn't a good idea for them to stay cooped up on Tiger Roar Mountain all the time. Although there were no city defense troops in Tiger Roar City at the moment, it was uncertain whether a new city lord would come to take office in the future. If there were city defense troops, Grey Wolf's security team would probably have a hard time surviving here.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Snowrock City to assume the position of City Lord, but I can only go after my first-year graduation exams are over at the earliest!" Zhou Shu said, bowing to Emperor Tianxing.
"Alright, then I will send Li Yehua to assist you in governing Snow Rock City." Emperor Tianxing nodded and said, "Li Yehua, obey my command!"
Going to assist Zhou Shu in governing Xueyan City was tantamount to exiling himself to such a remote place. Li Yehua felt utterly hopeless, but he still knelt down to accept the decree: "Your subject is here!"
"I hereby bestow upon you the title of Marquis of Xueyan. You shall depart immediately without fail!"
With the order given, Li Yehua was struck dumb as if by lightning. He stood up unsteadily. Of the five princes, he was the first to leave the capital. Although he had no ambition to seize the throne, the title he was given was only that of a marquis, which was tantamount to a death sentence for his future.
"Father, why is this?" Li Yehua trembled, unable to hold back his question to Emperor Tianxing. Seeing that Emperor Tianxing did not react, Li Yehua bowed to Emperor Tianxing again: "Your subject takes his leave!"
As Ye Hua's figure receded into the distance, everyone was stunned. What was Emperor Tianxing trying to do? Sending a prince to assist a city lord—had he lost his mind?
Zhou Shu was also completely bewildered. What exactly was Emperor Tianxing up to? Was he planning to have Li Yehua monitor him? He couldn't come up with a solution no matter how much he thought about it. Since Emperor Tianxing wanted him to go to Xueyan City, he would go to Xueyan City and cause a huge uproar in front of him. Anyway, it would be at least a year before he could go. He would deal with it after a year.
...
The top scholar on the stage was escorted to his residence by Li Yeqiong and his guards. Seeing Li Yeqiong's arrogant demeanor, Zhou Shu was too lazy to pay him any attention.
After seeing the group put down their things and turn to leave, Huangfu Chen said, "Brother Zhou, are you really determined to go to Xueyan City? Actually, you can choose not to go. Even the Heavenly Star Emperor in Luo City wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
Hearing Huangfu Chen's words, Zhou Shu looked at him and said, "I can choose not to go, but those people from Tiger Roar Mountain need a place to stay. Now that you know I am a survivor of Qingye City, I will definitely avenge the destruction of Qingye City!"
"How do you take revenge? By slaughtering all the demon beasts?" Huangfu Chen asked.
"The destruction of Qingye City was not a natural disaster but a man-made one. Although I don't know why Prince Qishun did this, since he has done these things, I will make him pay for his crimes in blood!"
"Prince Qishun?" Huangfu Chen looked surprised. "You mean that the beast tide that struck Qingye City back then was orchestrated by Prince Qishun?"
Zhou Shu nodded: "The Spirit Demon Dynasty established by the Demon Emperor has been expanding every day. If we don't want the tragedy of Qingye City to repeat itself, we can only make ourselves stronger."
"Since Snow Rock City is a remote place with many different forces around it, I suppose that no matter how capable the Heavenly Star Dynasty is, it cannot completely penetrate into that area. Since he asked me to go, then I will go and take a look."
Seeing Zhou Shu's confident demeanor, Huangfu Chen's heart stirred: "Brother Zhou, then I will go to Snow Rock City with you."
Zhou Shu was taken aback. Huangfu Chen was a disciple of a noble family, so it would be very difficult for him to go to Xueyan City. Since Huangfu Chen was interested, Zhou Shu nodded and told him to think it over carefully.
Imperial Capital
Inside the Prince Qishun's Mansion.
A richly dressed man sat in the main hall, his face contorted with rage, coldly staring at the two kneeling figures. In a hoarse voice, he said, "I never expected such a huge blunder to occur this time. Do you want your lives or...?"
The two men kneeling on the ground kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Your Highness Qishun, please have mercy on us this time! We really didn't expect Emperor Tianxing to suddenly decide to go to Luoshen Academy. We couldn't stop him at all!"
"Enough with the noise!" Prince Qishun waved his hand. "Only one of you can live. Choose for yourself!"
The two kneeling figures paused for a moment, exchanged a glance, and then lunged at each other. Since their cultivation had been sealed, they could only use their hands and teeth as weapons to tear at each other like wild beasts.
Prince Qishun picked up the Purple Cloud Tea, which only the current emperor could drink, and took a sip: "Just a moment ago we were brothers in misfortune, and now we are mortal enemies. How ridiculous!"
Watching the two men tearing at each other frantically, blood splattered all over the ground, Prince Qishun frowned and waved his hand, signaling them to be dragged out.
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry. After so many years of planning, seventy percent of the Tianxing Dynasty is under your control," the black-clad man beside him flattered obsequiously.
Prince Qishun coldly sneered expressionlessly, "I didn't expect my brother to have some skill, but it's a bit too late for him to realize it now..."
"Are there still survivors in Qingye City?" King Qishun asked after a pause.
"Yes, I heard his name is Zhou Shu, and he's currently at the fifth rank." The strategist beside him asked, "Should we...?"
Prince Qishun chuckled and said, "I have my own plans for that..."
