Chapter 41 [Tianyahui, Paradise on Earth]

Southwest Gobi.

The desert is vast and the sky is full of yellow sand.

Here, there are many crises.

Even the imperial court seemed to have given up on this place.

As a result, this place became a paradise for countless fugitives.

Yellow sand, some people also call it gold.

Horse bandits, local bandits, and those who committed the most heinous crimes gathered here, established their own regime, and became kings of the mountains.

Here, money is king.

The least valuable thing is probably human life.

Originally, this place was in chaos, with all kinds of people mixed together.

However, five years ago, three people suddenly came.

It is said that he was a notorious bandit who once broke into Prime Minister Lin's mansion to steal and succeeded.

After that, he was wanted by the imperial court and was hunted down and captured continuously.

In desperation, the three brothers entered the southwest Gobi Desert.

The three brothers all have unique skills.

One is of the ninth rank, one is of the eighth rank, and one is a gentle scholar.

The three of them arrived in the southwestern Gobi Desert and immediately felt like fish in water.

In just five years, the enemy forces were eliminated and the Southwest was rectified.

Today, all forces in the southwestern Gobi have been united.

There are three brothers. The eldest brother is a ninth-rank swordsman, the second brother is an eighth-rank swordsman, and the third brother is a weak scholar but has unparalleled wisdom and strategies.

It was because of his advice and suggestions that the southwestern Gobi Desert was unified.

Today, this group of people, with a total of 50,000 people, has established their own territory and has become a force that cannot be ignored.

Moreover, these people are fearless and live on the edge of a knife all day long.

In recent years, the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion many times, but all ended in failure.

This further encouraged the arrogance of this group of people.

The names of the three leaders are easy to remember:
Xu Da, Xu Er, Xu Wen.

The third brother, Xu Wen, named his power: Tianya Society.

It means that we are destined to meet here.

Over the years, more and more people who have fallen on hard times have come to seek refuge, and their power has grown ever greater.

In the early years, the three of them were always worried that Chen Pingping would send out the Black Cavalry to encircle and suppress them.

With 50,000 troops, their combat power is not weak and they also occupy the terrain.

However, if they were to face the Black Knights, no one would be sure of their chances.

After all, the name of the Black Knight makes the whole world tremble.

Therefore, Xu Wen came up with an idea and made a big fuss about how the Qing court was incompetent and had nothing but the Black Cavalry.

As expected, the Black Cavalry did not set out.

Except for the Black Knights, these people fear nothing.

In this southwestern Gobi Desert, the Tianya Society built a place of ultimate enjoyment, called: Paradise on Earth.

Here, as long as you have money, you can get whatever you want.

Countless gangsters and wealthy people have gone in and enjoyed themselves there.

Those who returned were full of praise for this paradise on earth and were reluctant to leave.

However, the consumption is very high.

It is said that just a cup of water can be sold for one hundred taels.

This is a paradise on earth designed specifically for the rich.

Paradise on Earth has become a tool for the Tianya Society to make money, a treasure pot.

Every year, countless people enter to enjoy the ultimate experience.

Some people also call it a "den of money-selling."

A paradise on earth, said to be rich enough to rival a country.

As a result, the Tianya Society was established and grew stronger.

Now, even the imperial court has shown the intention of recruiting him.

However, it is said that the Tianya Society spent a huge sum of money to bribe the court officials and facilitate the amnesty.

As for whether it is true or not, there is no way to know.

Now that the imperial court is about to offer amnesty, the entire southwestern Gobi Desert has suddenly become much more peaceful.

The three brothers of the Xu family seemed to have been looking forward to being recruited for a long time.

Therefore, the imperial edict was not rejected.

And today is the day when the imperial officials come to recruit the amnesty.

In the southwest Gobi Desert, a red carpet of ten miles was laid out just to welcome this important official from the imperial court.

At the entrance to the southwest Gobi Desert, a large army is stationed with flags flying.

The flag of the Tianya Society depicts a desert scene, implying that there is an endless desert here.

"The imperial envoy is about to arrive..." Many people in Tianya Society were discussing the matter.

If this recruitment is successful, from now on they will be people of status and will no longer be hunted down by the court.

Finally, I can get out of the desert and live in the outside world.

Therefore, many people still have hope for this recruitment.

"Bullshit, those shitty officials are all the same, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Some people were very disdainful of this recruitment.

Kyoto.

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, the imperial envoy should have arrived in the southwest Gobi Desert by now." The old eunuch poured Emperor Qing a glass of candied fruit.

"I hope everything goes well." The old eunuch whispered.

Emperor Qing sharpened the arrow, placed it in front of him, and looked at it carefully, but he was still not satisfied.

He picked up the candied fruit and drank it all in one gulp.

He had long been thinking about solving the problem of the Gobi Desert in the southwest.

However, for the temple plan, there must be a war between Qing Kingdom and Northern Qi.

At this time, he didn't want to waste manpower.

He also didn't want to reveal his cards and have them known by the Northern Qi spies.

Therefore, the best way to deal with the issue of the Southwestern Gobi Desert is to surrender.

He also had his considerations for doing this. When the time comes, he will send these people directly to the front line to serve as cannon fodder.

In this way, everything was solved.

He was reassured about the matter of surrender.

After all, the three brothers of the Xu family also wanted to be recruited.

Therefore, there won’t be too many twists and turns in this matter.

By now, the imperial envoy should be arriving in the southwestern Gobi Desert.

Everything is going according to his plan.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing's mood suddenly improved a lot.

"What is the prince busy with?" asked Emperor Qing.

The action of sharpening the arrow in his hand did not stop.

"Your Highness?" The old eunuch, Eunuch Hou, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said:

"In recent days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not left the East Palace and has been recovering from his injuries."

"Where's the second one?"

"The Second Prince... is also recovering from his injuries, and there is no movement."

Emperor Qing paused while sharpening his arrows, "It's too quiet."

He said.

Sometimes, being too quiet is not a good thing.

Now, his temple project has begun.

He didn't want anything to go wrong at this critical juncture.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing suddenly felt that he needed to warn the two of them.

At this time, it's best to be quiet and not cause any trouble for him.

Otherwise, there will be punishment without mercy!
The temple project is about unifying the world and may even lead to the discovery of the secret of immortality.

He has been planning for this for more than ten years.

At this time, he would kill anyone who caused trouble for him.

Never be soft!

Chen Pingping has already left Beijing, and Fan Jian's red-armored knights have also set off.

Once the plan begins, there should be no room for error.

Danzhou.

"Mr. Fan, there is a letter for you!" Fan Xian had just gone out when he received a letter.

"Who is it that would write to me? Could it be Ruoruo?" Fan Xian opened it curiously.

However, there was only a piece of white paper in the envelope, without a single word on it.

Looking carefully, he suddenly found a tiny plum blossom on the blank paper.

Seeing this, Fan Xian fell silent.

In his mind, he recalled the encounter with Crown Prince Li Chengqian many years ago.

The two of them spent some time together and were considered half friends.

Fan Xian was filled with admiration for his manner of conversation, temperament, and supreme enjoyment.

When Li Chengqian left, he told him that if he saw this plum blossom one day, it would mean that danger was approaching.

“The prince is far away in Kyoto, how could he know that I would be in danger?
Could it be that he can tell the future?"

Fan Xian smiled and didn't take it to heart.
