Chapter 59: The Fall of the Black Dragon Emperor
"The people on the ship have been dealt with. It's about Master Su. He has cooperated and put aside the grudges from the East and West Factory..."

"Also, regarding the matter of Qingque, Master Su must be informed as soon as possible. There is someone behind Marquis Jiangling."

After a busy day and night, Yu Zhong got off the carriage and returned to the Jinjiang Supervisory Office, looking alert.

wrong.

It's too quiet.

Could it be that after the matter was resolved, that person remembered the grudge between the two factories and wanted to take action against him, Mr. Xu's godson?
When he walked into the inner hall, Yu Zhong's expression changed.

"Master Su."

he said in surprise.

Inside the room, there was a handsome young man holding a bowl of medicine and feeding it to the girl on the sickbed.

"It is indeed a life-saving medicine, the thousand-year-old ginseng king. His life is saved, but his internal organs are damaged. He needs to slowly warm himself up with his inner qi..."

Qingque didn't wake up, but her face looked much rosier.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Su, Black Armor Wu Sanda told me that this Qingque is the last orphan of the Daliang royal blood..."

"I know."

"There is an imperial mausoleum beneath the Daliang Imperial City. Legend has it that there are countless treasures, and only the blood of the emperor can open it. Does Master Su also know this?"

"Is this happening?"

Su Chen looked over.

Seeing this, Yu Zhong told him everything.

The black armor double second-grade, Wu Sanda, was shocked by Su Chen's terrifying skill of cutting off the river with one sword, and was terrified.

He told Yu Zhong everything about Qingque's life story and who assigned Jiangling Hou to do so. When the ship docked, he ran away with his intestines covered, and vowed never to set foot in Jinjiang City again in his life.

"The new saint of the Black Abyss searched for the remains of Daliang and ordered the Marquis of Jiangling to seize the blood of the blue bird, open the imperial mausoleum, and search for the secret treasure?"

Su Chen said nothing.

He feels.

Heiyuan was persistent in his search for the secret treasure that he was looking for, even at the cost of opening the imperial mausoleum. Perhaps it was the fiery red bead that had fallen into his hands during the Tianwu period.

What on earth is this thing?
Eighteen years.

They are still searching.

"correct."

"Who is he?"

Su Chen looked at a scroll hanging in the hall.

On the scroll.

There was an elegant man, wearing armor, stepping on a huge monster, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and wearing a bright red battle robe behind him. His eyes were deep, as if he was howling to the sky, with an imposing manner that could swallow up mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.

It's more than just heroic.

"He is Long Xuanjun."

"Master Su, other troubles are easy to solve. Cut off the Nujiang River with a sword and snow, or use the legendary secret hidden movement of Jinjiang to cover it up..."

"Only the death of Marquis Jiangling is particularly troublesome! He is the adopted son of the Supreme First-Rank Long Xuanjun. Even if the First-Rank of the Martial Supervision Bureau comes forward, it will not be easy to solve it..."

"It is rumored that this Lord Long Xuan led the battle to destroy Liang. He is the best in the world, of the highest rank, and can shake the Grandmaster..."

Yu Zhong said it in a subtle way.

meaning is.

Master Su, even if you are old, you may not be his match.

When.

This supreme master might come to Jinjiang to cause trouble for you.

"It's really him."

"I almost didn't recognize you after you changed into that outfit..."

Su Chen was silent for a while.

It was difficult for him to connect the man in the portrait who was so awe-inspiring that he could swallow mountains and rivers, with the top man in the imperial city who kowtowed to him at every turn.

He is of the highest rank, that’s about right.

and also.

How dare this guy claim that he, Su Chen, died under the sword of Lord Long Xuan of the Great Zhou.

"Yu Zhong."

"you are wrong."

"Of all the troubles, he is the easiest to solve."

"You just need to spread the word that the one who killed the Marquis of Jiangling, Su Chen of Daliang in the past, would not even dare to leave the imperial city, let alone come to Jinjiang..."

shook his head.

Su Chen sat down to drink tea and raised his hand to signal Yu Zhong to tell him about how the Great Zhou swallowed up the Daliang and the current situation of the Xuanlong Dynasty at the end of the year.

The last years of Jianwu.

Liang was destroyed.

The royal bloodline is cut off.

The nine great families turned against the Zhou and submitted to the Great Zhou, quickly helping His Majesty Xuanlong to swallow up the six counties of Daliang. Only the three counties that had established themselves early and were in chaos were left, and were still jumping up and down.

Liang was destroyed.

But the powerful officials in the court and the vast rivers and lakes still have their foundation. A large number of second-grade and first-grade people have appeared one after another, shocking the heavenly soldiers of the Great Zhou. Even though the Great Zhou has dozens of first-grade people who protect the country, and the supreme first-grade Long Xuanjun who is rumored to have destroyed Liang, they still dare not start a war, for fear of following the footsteps of Daliang.

Emperor Xuanlong, a man of great talent and strategy, personally went to appease the three major sects, Tianshi Mansion, Xuanyang Sect, and Xijian Pool, and recognized their status as the three major sects in the world.

The three sect leaders came to the capital to accept the titles they were given as a sign of their submission.

This incident shocked the world.

Rear.

He reduced taxes, built water conservancy projects, distributed grain, treated the people of Liang well, and executed thousands of Zhou officials who had bullied the people of Liang and exploited their wives and daughters, and exterminated all nine clans of their clans to serve as a warning to others.

If the person in charge of a place is a Zhou person, the assistant official must be a Liang person to check and supervise him.

He also invited the commoner ruler, who had a high reputation among the people and had knocked on the palace gate to plead for the people and ask for the advice of the masses, back to the court to serve as the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou.

This move shocked the world for the second time.

Thirty million Liang people returned home and kowtowed to the emperor to express their gratitude, which was a spectacular sight.

In just one year, the whole country was united. Even if the powerful people of the old Liang wanted to cause chaos, they had no way to start and could only reluctantly show a gesture of submission.

"Moreover, Emperor Xuanlong encouraged the people of Zhou and Liang to intermarry, and even arranged for the marriage of Princess Yunyang of Daliang to the Crown Prince of Zhou..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor's eldest grandson will have the blood of Zhou Liang. By then, the world will surely be peaceful and stable..."

Talking about Emperor Xuanlong, Yu Zhong was also full of admiration.

"It's not that easy."

Suchen has a different opinion.

"In terms of foundation, Daliang has a master demon emperor. At the peak of the Tianwu Tower, there were at least two top-level masters, and the rest of the strong and weak ones exceeded the number of the palms of your hand..."

"If it weren't for the internal strife, imperial fighting, uprisings, and assassinations that prevented Daliang from heading north, the Great Zhou would have long since ceased to exist..."

"besides."

"The land of Daliang was obtained too easily by the Great Zhou."

"I don't know."

"The Liang people are fierce and their practitioners are unruly. They have been resisting the violent Liang for more than 30 years, never sparing their lives. The top masters of the three major sects have killed them one after another, but they still stand firm. A new batch of them rush out every three to five years?"

“Not to mention, there are hidden sects and secret cults that lurk in the dark, planning earth-shattering things, and never take any dynasty seriously.”

"I think that among the people of the Great Zhou, only Emperor Xuanlong has seen this clearly. The rest of the people in the Great Zhou are still immersed in the fantasy of ruling Daliang and becoming the Celestial Empire..."

"In addition, the most important point is."

"In the ship, you, a Jinjiang Supervisor who is on the same level as Marquis Jiangling, are being scolded as a remnant of Daliang in public..."

"obviously."

"In the Great Zhou system, there are a large number of officials who have not benefited from the huge gains of Daliang and are dissatisfied with the old people of Daliang."

"It seems that everything is going well and peaceful, but in reality, it has long been a powder keg of suppressed contradictions and conflicts..."

As Su Chen spoke, Yu Zhong fell silent.

indeed so.

One year into the Xuanlong reign, autumn.

When Emperor Xuanlong appointed the three major sects to continue to be the Three Sects of Daliang, the leaders of the seven sects of Da Zhou, who were eyeing Daliang covetously, became furious and overturned the table and left in front of Emperor Xuanlong.

There are so many things like this in the past year.

Even in the palace.

The eunuchs in power from the Great Zhou were also using every possible means to oppress these old Liang eunuchs, forcing them to set up the Military Supervision Bureau and unite to protect themselves.

"But, Master Su."

"Your Majesty Xuanlong, you can suppress them, right?"

Yu Zhong couldn't help but argue.

"Yes."

"Emperor Xuanlong is a man of great talent and strategy. He can see clearly that Zhou is no match for Liang. He just took advantage of the situation and almost unified the world..."

"He can indeed control the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts world, and the noble officials, balance the Zhou and Liang dynasties, and bring peace and harmony to the world."

"But, he's dead?"

"Emperor Xuanlong is seventy-nine. Even if he practices cultivation and holds the ultimate power, he can live to a hundred years old, but the prince is already fifty."

"Emperor Xuanlong lives for another twenty-one years. How can there be a prince in the world who ascends the throne at the age of seventy-one and has gray hair?"

At this moment, Yu Zhong's face changed drastically.

The Great Zhou Palace.

Emperor Xuanlong has caught a cold and has let the Crown Prince govern the country for ten days!

"The Black Dragon Emperor has fallen."

Su Chen looked into the distance fifty miles away, in the direction of the Great Zhou Imperial City, and saw that the longevity flame of the world's heroic ruler that was standing tall into the sky had gone out.

night.

Thousands of horses and cavalry left the capital.

The world is in an uproar!

In the winter of the first year of the Xuanlong reign of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor died and Crown Prince Yan ascended the throne.

"The world is in chaos!"

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a black robe under the moonlight, looking at the imperial city fifty miles away, as if he heard countless shouts and cries of killing.

The princes fight for the throne!
The world is in turmoil again!
