Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

I really wish there were more blind guys like this. It feels so good to beat them up!

"Oh, look what has happened!"

After the fight was over, Qin Hui, as if belatedly realizing something, hurried over and helped the captain, who was still lying on the ground in a daze, to his feet. While patting the shoe prints on the captain's body, he advised: "We are all serving the country. Gentlemen, please do not hurt the peace. Peace is the most important thing, peace is the most important thing!"

Looking at Qin Hui's hypocritical smile, the captain silently took off his shoes, and then slapped Qin Hui's face with the sole of the size 42 shoe.

"What level are you? How dare you teach me how to do things!"

No matter whether you are an ambassador or not, those who can serve in the Imperial Guard are all children of noble families, and few of them have good tempers.

Moreover, since he was able to reach the rank of captain, this person's family power in the imperial capital must be very strong.

If I can't afford to offend the guy surnamed Song, then I can afford to offend you, surnamed Qin?

Chapter 727 My rules, those are the rules!

Qin Hui's head was buzzing after being hit by a shoe, and he didn't react for a long time.

You, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can’t beat the people from the Imperial City Bureau, so you bully me, a civil servant, right?

Just wait and see, I will report you when I get back!

He was secretly furious in his heart, but as soon as the anger showed on his face, he forced himself to hold it back. He even rubbed his swollen left cheek and stretched out his right cheek.

"General, if you're still angry, I'd be happy to let you hit me on the cheek!"

The captain holding the shoes in his hand was also stunned for a moment. Looking at Qin Hui, who had a smile on his face and was not angry at all, he couldn't help but be stunned and felt a little unbelievable.

"Are you really shameless?"

Qin Hui waved his sleeves, looked up at the sky, and looked at the scorching sun. He couldn't help but smile softly, "State affairs are of paramount importance. How can I fail Your Majesty's important responsibility because of personal grudges?

"General, feel free to vent your anger on me. As long as we can successfully complete this peace negotiation and prevent the people of both countries from suffering from war, I will sacrifice my life for you!"

Looking at Qin Hui, who was bathing in the sun, looking disheveled but exuding a sense of righteousness, the captain was silent for a moment, opened his lips, but still did not say the words of apology.

Although he did not apologize, he rode on Pegasus and headed towards Black Rock City.

"I'm going to negotiate with Black Rock City!"

This can be considered a disguised form of surrender and apology.

Qin Hui waved his sleeves and snorted in his heart, "You little bastard, I can't deal with you."

Wait, I'll remember this grudge!

Don’t give me the chance, or I’ll kill all your ancestors!

There was also the man surnamed Song. He subconsciously turned around and looked behind him, only to see the Great Inspector Song staring at him with a smile.

Qin Hui felt a pang of fear in his heart and instinctively felt apprehensive.

Forget it, forget it. The people from the Imperial City Bureau are not easy to deal with. He didn’t hit me, so I won’t hold a grudge against him for now!

Song Xuan slowly withdrew his gaze and had to admit in his heart that no one who could leave his name in history books was a waste, no matter whether he was good or bad.

The reason why Qin Hui was able to get the position of Minister of Rites was, apart from other things, the key to success was that he had mastered the art of forbearance!

Song Qian looked him up and down and sneered, "Master Qin has good tactics!"

Qin Hui immediately stood up straight, brushed the dust off his face, and said righteously: "I have served my country with all my heart, and the only thing I want is death. I don't care about my dignity!"

Song Xuan glanced into the distance. The gate of Black Rock City had been opened, and rows of people and horses were pouring out. He could vaguely see Yao Yue's figure.

He waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Form your formations and prepare to follow me into the city!"

...

"The Dao Song envoy has arrived!"

Outside the Black Rock City, there was a long and melodious singing voice. As the voice sounded, the vicissitudes of life bell sounded suddenly from inside the city.

The sound of the bell was ancient and vast, carrying the breath of time. The moment it rang, almost everyone in the entire Black Rock City, whether it was the outer city, the inner city or the main city, could hear it.

At the beginning, Yao Yue smashed the body of the previous Lord of Black Rock City with one punch. After becoming the new Lord of Black Rock City, the bells rang three times in Black Rock City.

Every time the bell rings, it means that something big is about to happen.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three bells rang in succession, and many people in the city looked up at the sky. The ringing of three bells meant that something as big as the change of the city lord might happen today.

But the bell did not stop, but continued to ring. After the sixth bell rang, many people's faces changed drastically, showing expressions of fear and horror.

what's the situation?

The bell rang six times, indicating that a member of the imperial family had arrived from the court, or that Black Rock City was threatened by a devastating force. Could it be that a big figure from the royal family had arrived today?

But this is not over yet,

Boom!

The bell continued to ring, and at the moment the seventh bell rang, some powerful people in the fusion realm who were in seclusion in Black Rock City opened their eyes and looked up at the sky in confusion.

What’s going on? Are the armies from other dynasties coming to attack?

But before they could find out the reason, the eighth and ninth sounds rang out in succession. At this moment, many powerful people in the state of fusion could no longer sit still. They came out of seclusion and flew up. They were eager to know what had happened.

In the history of Black Rock City, the bell would ring nine times, which would only happen when the emperor passed away or a new emperor ascended the throne. What happened? He just went into seclusion for a period of time, and the emperor of the Moyuan Dynasty passed away?

Haha, this death is too sudden, isn't it? How did he die? Was he struck by lightning? Did he fail to survive the tribulation?

There were more than ten great masters in the fusion realm who had been practicing in seclusion. They had not come out when Yao Yue and the Lord of Black Rock City were fighting before, but at this moment, the ninth ring of the bell made them come out of their seclusion.

More than ten people stood in the void, looking at each other in confusion.

"What's going on? The emperor is dead?"

"I don't know. It could be that an emperor from another dynasty died."

"Let's go and see what the new city lord is up to. How can we ring this bell casually?"

Soon, at the highest point of the main city area, they saw the new city lord, Lord Yaoyue, wearing a black robe and holding a hammer in his hand, striking the tenth blow!

Boom!

When the tenth bell rang, countless people in the entire Black Rock City were paralyzed.

Many people were paralyzed and at a loss. They thought nine rings was the limit. The bell in Black Rock City had never rung ten times before.

Now that the tenth sound is ringing, what does it mean?

God has descended to earth?

Is the dynasty about to fall?

Or is God going to destroy the world?

After ringing the ancient bell ten times in a row, Yao Yue put away the hammer with satisfaction and glanced at his anxious subordinates behind him.

"What, do you have any objections?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a scholar laughed bitterly, "City Lord, since the beginning of records in Black Rock City, the highest number of times the bell has been rung is nine.

You knocked ten times right away. It's just a foreign delegation, three knocks would have been enough, but ten times... that's against the rules!"

"rule?"

Yao Yue chuckled, "What rules? My rules, those are the rules!"

"If I think it's necessary to knock ten times, then it must be knocked ten times, not even once less!"

Her tone was unquestionable, and her eyes flashed with majesty. It was obvious that if anyone dared to say something inappropriate again, she would take action.

My husband, Yao Yue, is coming. As the mayor of Black Rock City, is there anything wrong with giving him a higher standard of reception?

Your husband must have what others have, and he must also have what others don’t have.

My husband may not care, but I, Yaoyue, just want to give it to you!

Nine bell rings is the limit of the Moyuan Dynasty, but not the limit of her husband!

Her husband must be treated above everyone else in terms of standard!

Holding great power and looking down upon all living beings, if I cannot even satisfy myself by doing small things for the ones I love, then all these decades of cultivation in the path of magic would have been in vain!

Chapter 728 Could it be that the City Lord is impressed by my literary talent?

Seeing the new city lord ring the bell and lead his subordinates to fly out of the city, many monks with advanced cultivation in Black Rock City were stunned.

"What's going on? All this time, just to welcome a foreign delegation?"

"What kind of mission is this? It's even more important than the emperor's death."

"The female city lord personally rang the bell and went outside the city to welcome them. Who in the delegation was it that warranted such a large-scale mobilization?"

"Ridiculous! This is nonsense! I just received a message. It's just an ordinary peace negotiation mission!"

"It's just a trivial matter, but he has to ring the bell ten times, which has delayed my cultivation. This new city lord is really unreliable! If he hadn't bought a house in the city long ago, he wouldn't have stayed in Black Rock City!"

After dispersing, more than ten powerful people in the fusion stage gathered together, complained for a while, and then prepared to return to their residence to continue their retreat.

But suddenly, their expressions changed. An unknown will seemed to have locked onto them. They had a feeling that if they dared to leave, they would be shattered to pieces immediately!

At this moment, a middle-aged scholar appeared from the sky, cupped his fists and said with a smile, "My fellow Daoists, my city lord invites you!"

"I recognize you!"

A gray-haired old man said in a deep voice: "Xukongzi, you were the military advisor to the Black Rock City Lord before. Now that the city lord has been replaced, it seems that you are still serving as the military advisor.

May I ask, fellow Taoist, the new city lord invites us over, but is there something wrong?"

Xukongzi chuckled, "The City Lord has ordered that you all go together to welcome the delegation. Everyone, this is the first time that the City Lord has attached such importance to an event since taking office.

Please come with me, and don't make things difficult for me!"

The gray-robed old man exchanged glances with the others, and their expressions looked somewhat grim. It was obvious that they did not want to go over.

Xukongzi's expression grew colder. "Everyone, now that you've been noticed by the City Lord, don't you think you can escape unscathed just by running away?"

After he said this, everyone knew that the mysterious will that locked them down must be the work of the new city lord.

"Never mind, since the City Lord has sincerely invited me, it would be ungrateful of me if I don't go!"

His words gave him a way out, and the other powerful people nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we should give the City Lord some respect!"

...

Outside the city, inside the Song Dynasty delegation.

Qin Hui was riding on a Pegasus, smoothing the folds of his sleeves over and over again, his whole body filled with excitement, unable to control himself.

"Master Ning, did you hear that? Black Rock City is ringing the bells to welcome us!"

Ning Caichen said, "I heard it. What does this bell sound mean?"

"You don't understand this!" Qin Hui explained excitedly, "In the Demon Yuan Dynasty, the city lord had immense power. It's no exaggeration to say that he was a local lord.

The ancient bell at the highest point in the city is the symbol of the city lord's power.

Only when a major event occurs or an important guest arrives will the bell be rung to announce it to the people of the city.

Normally, for a delegation like ours, ringing the bell three times is already a high standard, but now, it has rung for a full... a full..."

Ning Caichen said, "Ten times!"

"Yes, ten times!"

Qin Hui was a little bit unbelievable, "In Black Rock City, not only in Black Rock City, but in all the cities of Demon Yuan, there has never been a record of the bell ringing ten times, but this time, it happened to our delegation.

Deputy Envoy Ning, do you know what this means?

We are going to leave our names in history!

This is a treatment that no one else has. Just because I, Qin Hui, am the leader of this delegation, the reception is so grand!

Could it be that the Lord of Black Rock City has read my articles and was impressed by my literary talent and philosophy of governing the country?

Otherwise, I really don’t understand why we can receive such high level of courtesy! "
