Chapter 123 The Waves Rises with the Wind
Two hours after Bai Chuan left, the rebel army Zhang Rang and others arrived late.
Zhang Rang looked at the messy ground and the corpses lying all over the ground. Every corpse was covered with armor made of fine iron, and his expression was extremely shocking.
Obviously, he recognized this dead team in an instant, it was the elite forest guards of the Great Zhou that had chased them before.
But in today's powerful team, there are still eight-level masters, but now they died here.
He kept looking at these corpses with a face full of shock, and even squatted down in front of the almost completely carbonized corpse dressed up as a general.
He stretched out his hand to caress the slightly melted and deformed armor, and he couldn't help saying to himself: "Even the armor forged of fine iron is deformed by burning. Is this the power of a dragon? It's really powerful."
After sighing, he stood up, and exhaled a deep breath, as if he wanted to exhale the shock in his heart, and then turned his head to look at the faintly scorched and crooked trees.
There is no doubt that it was created inadvertently when the dragon left.
"Qingqing, let's go, we must find the dragon before Da Zhou actually catches him."
To be honest, at this moment, Zhang Rang didn't know why he was looking for a strange beast that didn't know if he had wisdom—a dragon.
I don't know what to do if I find them, because even the forest rangers who chased them down are dead so simply, they can't even do a decent resistance, let alone them.
In his heart, he completely gave up on obtaining the power of the dragon.
Now he is still trying to trace the traces of the dragon, perhaps because he grew up listening to the legend of the dragon in the past, and as a little snake catcher, he wants to really see the elegance of the dragon.
This desire to see a real dragon was unintentionally cultivated by Da Zhou after a thousand years.
...
In the early morning, when the sky is about to light up.
Sun Lin looked at the glorious palace in front of him, the most noble place in Da Zhou, and the turbulent emotion in his heart hit his heart.
As a disciple of a humble family, he really never imagined that he would be able to climb to the position he is today.
He exhaled slowly, and tidied up his clothes slowly.
As a newly promoted minister, he attaches great importance to today's affairs, because this is his first time stepping into this sacred place. In the future, he will devote himself to the development of Dazhou with all ministers here.
Although he has long heard various rumors circulating from the current Holy Majesty, calling him fatuous, incompetent and tyrannical.
But he believed that an official with no background who could choose himself to climb up from the bottom must have his own difficulties.
Perhaps the Holy Majesty is short of an excuse. If that is the case, then let him act as a way to remove all obstacles for the Holy Majesty.
Countless suffering Li people all over the world need them.
When I think of the frequent outbreaks of natural disasters all over the country, people are displaced.
He was a little heartbroken, Da Zhou urgently needed some good officials for the country and the people.
After slowly tidying up his official uniform, he stepped onto the stairs made of pure white jade.
At this moment, the stairs made of the best white jade are shining with warm light, which is caused by the morning glow that is about to shine from the east in the early morning.
He walked straight along with the crowd, exchanging greetings with other officials who approached from time to time. At this moment, he was no longer the little transparent person no one knew before.
After passing through countless magnificent halls with extremely luxurious carvings, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and covered with various glazed tiles, he finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Tianhe Palace.
This is exactly the place where the Great Zhou emperor used to go to the early court.
After he followed those skilled ministers through the somewhat unfamiliar process, he finally saw the real master of the Great Zhou, the current Emperor Sheng Zhou.
However, the scene in front of him was somewhat contrary to his imagination.
The Holy Majesty he imagined should be wearing a purple gold crown with hair tied on his head, with two dragons grabbing pearls and gold wiping his forehead, wearing a two-color gold and white double dragon hollowed out rhubarb arrow sleeves, tied with multicolored silk knotted with long tassels.
However, what really appeared before his eyes was a young man with disheveled hair and only a black loose brocade jacket. His eyes were as black as ink, his expression was undisciplined, and he did not have the majesty of an emperor at all.
If Sun Lin had to describe it, he could only think of those dandies in the city for a moment. Is this really the legendary Zhou Tianzi?
However, the facts did not change according to his wishes. While he was lost in thought, the morning court of the day also began, and countless ministers handed over their memorials one after another.
At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly shouted from outside the hall: "The Lord Protector is here to see you!"
The man above was taken aback for a moment, then smiled at the heavenly man standing beside him: "Xuan!"
Not long after, an old man with white hair and four eyes came in step by step with his hands in his hands. The eyes on his face were always closed, and it seemed that once they were opened, something unpredictable and terrifying would happen.
Zhou Tianzi looked at the old man and smiled as if no one else was there: "Uncle Clan, why do you have time to come here today?"
Then he frowned again and said, "Xiao Li, why don't you bring a chair for my uncle?"
"No need, Your Majesty, the old minister has important business to come here today." The old man ignored his attitude, shook his head and took out the memorial he had already prepared from his sleeve, and let the people next to him pass it on .
Seeing that the clan uncle was so solemn, the man no longer insisted, and directly took the memorial and read it, but he was stunned after seeing it.
His waist gradually straightened, he no longer leaned on the dragon chair, and his expression gradually changed from the casual one at the beginning to a solemn one.
The man who became serious at this moment truly had a trace of the majesty of the emperor, instead of an unrestrained playboy.
A few minutes later, Zhou Tianzi, who had finished reading quickly, looked at the old man below with serious eyes, and said solemnly, "Is this confirmed?"
"The Zhou ceremony of the Forest Guard Army has been heard by all the snake catchers in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range."
replied the old man.
Zhou Tianzi didn't ask any more questions, he slowly leaned on the dragon chair behind him, pressed his brows and closed his eyes to think.
The weird question and answer between the two made all the ministers around confused, but none of the veteran ministers who knew His Majesty's unpredictable character dared to speak.
They just stared at the memorial in his hands curiously, wishing to snatch the memorial from the Holy Master immediately to find out.
After a long time, Zhou Tianzi opened his eyes again. He stood up, his pair of dark eyes were extremely sharp at this moment, and he said impressively:
"I remember that place is closest to Youzhou. If that's the case, then order Zhou Renyi to recruit all the troops stationed there, and rush to the Broken Dragon Mountain Range immediately."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the officials. Among them, Sun Lin, the minister who had just taken office, was the most violent. Under the excitement, he broke away from the crowd and stepped forward and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Youzhou is the closest to the border of the Great Zhou. Once the army of Youzhou leaves, the grassland barbarians will drive directly to Youzhou in an instant, burning, killing and looting wantonly. The good Youzhou will be destroyed in one fell swoop. , Your Majesty, this matter must never be allowed! This is an eternal sin and is cast aside by all people!"
Hearing this, Emperor Zhou was not annoyed, he turned his head and asked with a smile, "If I insist on doing this, what about you?"
"Minister, minister," Sun Lin, who thought His Majesty would be furious, was even ready to speak again, because what he said just now was considered disrespectful to some extent.
But he didn't expect his attitude to be so weird that Sun Lin couldn't react for a while.
At this time, he suddenly glanced at the pillar next to him, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he walked to the pillar and pointed to the pillar and said:
"Then, I will slam my head against the pillar of the main hall to show my will! I advise you to be sober!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Lin stared at the Emperor Zhou, because as a minister, he said all these words, the Holy Majesty should not take such a big shame.
But he didn't know that other people in the hall looked at him as if they were looking at a dead person.
"That's it." Zhou Tianzi's tone seemed to be a little loose, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his voice changed, and he said with a smile: "If that's the case, hit it!"
"What, what?" Things changed too suddenly. The joy in Sun Lin's eyes didn't show completely for a while, but it turned into astonishment in an instant, and he couldn't react directly. ..."
However, Tianzi Zhou didn't have that patience anymore, he narrowed his sharp eyes and approached, and said softly: "Come on."
Without waiting for his response, he directly stretched out a white-looking hand and grabbed his neck, as easily as picking up a bamboo pole, and slammed straight towards the pillar of the hall.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a clear and thick voice resounded, echoing in the hall, and Sun Lin lost his breath, and his whole body collapsed limply.
Seeing this, Zhou Tianzi smacked his hands and threw down the disappointment, "It's boring, just die like this? If you really bump into it on your own initiative, maybe I will give you a high regard."
During the whole process, no one dared to say anything, even the white-haired old man lowered his eyes and stopped paying attention.
Obviously, this kind of thing didn't happen once or twice. Everyone who can live a little longer knows not to offend the Holy Majesty easily.
Even if he is the protector of the country, this is no exception. The king is the king, and the minister is the minister, and you must not overstep your position without authorization!
"Hey, who the hell, hurry up and clean it up, since this official position is vacant, then quickly choose a new one from the group of substitutes."
Zhou Tianzi smiled and ignored this little episode, and then said to everyone, "Since there is no objection, then hurry up, I want to see the dragon captured alive and brought back immediately."
After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and left.
A group of ministers were left in shock: "Dragon?! Really appeared?!"
Then there was a burst of surprise, no wonder the Holy Majesty, who had always been careless and only knew how to enjoy, was paying such serious attention for the first time.
At the same time, at this moment, some cleverly surrounded the Duke Protector who had not yet left, and some directly rushed towards the memorial left by the Holy Majesty before he left.
As for how to treat it after knowing it, only God knows.
You must know that the majority of people in this hall are not simple. There are countless great sects and families in various high mountains.
The sky is about to change.
An invisible vortex is about to slowly form at the foot of the Broken Dragon Mountain Range.
As for the people of Youzhou after the garrison army left?
The coming prairie barbarians?
Who here cares?
Could it be that they can still fight till the end of the day? What a joke.
The one who really cares is now lying on the ground, and no one has paid attention to it so far.
As the bright red blood spread, a few servants and eunuchs came to clean up...
