Chapter 847: Heavenly Soldiers Descend, Ouyang Feiying Breaks Down (5/5, please subscribe)

After signing the contract, Li Shimin gained the right to come and go freely in this world, and turned around to go back and dispatch his troops.

Huangfu Renhe was just about to leave when he heard Ouyang Mingri say, "Brother Huangfu, wait a moment. Take these things with you."

Huangfu Renhe turned his head and saw two items fall into his hands.

"This is the Dragon God Art and Purple Sun Elixir. Since you wish to seek revenge against my father, you cannot do without a powerful martial art," Ouyang Mingri explained. "Consider these some compensation from me."

"After all, what my father did back then is truly hard to put into words."

Huangfu Renhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Young Master Ouyang is indeed open and aboveboard. Many thanks, then."

He turned and left, returning to his residence.

Following Ouyang Mingri's instructions, he pressed the jade slip to his brow and read the information within, then the entire person fell into a daze.

"Transform body into dragon!"

"Six hundred years of lifespan!"

Huangfu Renhe was stunned.

This was simply no mortal technique.

He felt some doubt in his heart, but the method by which the jade slip recorded the technique was truly too miraculous, and there was also Li Shimin who had crossed over—everything was corroborating that this technique was very likely

real.

He took the elixir and cultivated for half a day.

Huangfu Renhe no longer had the slightest doubt. A streak of golden light shot up into the sky, transforming into a golden dragon. Moments later, it landed and once again manifested as a human.

"An unparalleled divine art! I never expected that the technique Young Master Ouyang gave would actually be an immortal's art. This time, I owe him a great favor. Sigh...."

Thinking of his father's grudge, he became conflicted again.

After thinking for a while, Huangfu Renhe went out the door in low spirits, and then saw squads of elite soldiers guarding every part of the city.

On these people, Huangfu Renhe sensed true qi fluctuations.

Moreover, they were not ordinary true qi experts—they carried the true qi aura of the Profound Immortal Martial Dao.

"These are all existences who can take on ten thousand single-handedly," Huangfu Renhe was shocked. "Your Majesty has already begun to act."

At a thought, his divine sense covered the entire city.

Then he discovered that the entire Sifang City had already changed hands.

Facing the formidable extraordinary heavenly soldiers, the soldiers of Sifang City directly switched sides and surrendered completely.

At the City Lord's residence, Ouyang Mingri was confronting Ouyang Feiying.

"Father, you abandoned me back then, and I bear no hatred for it. Today, please come away with me for now. This Sifang City is no longer yours."

"Unfilial son!" Ouyang Feiying's brows shot up in fury.

This Sifang City was something he had obtained only after expending immense effort—how could he be willing to give it up!

He gathered his true qi, employed his lightness skill, and charged at Ouyang Mingri.

"Why bother!"

Ouyang Mingri shook his head and waved his hand, and Ouyang Feiying was immediately frozen in place on the spot.

"Father!"

The next moment, a woman rushed out from one side—it was Ouyang Yingying.

"Yingying, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Ouyang Mingri lifted Ouyang Feiying, turned and left, with no intention of stopping at all.

"No!" Ouyang Yingying saw this and hurriedly chased after him, but how could she possibly catch up.

Ouyang Mingri, carrying Ouyang Feiying, had just arrived outside the City Lord's residence when he saw the crossing gate open and Li Shimin appear, clad in a dragon robe.

"His Majesty Taizong has arrived!" Ouyang Mingri stopped. "This Sifang City is yours now. By the way, my sister is still in the city—please show some mercy."

"Don't worry," Li Shimin said with a smile. "I'm not so petty as to lay hands on a mere child."

As they were speaking, Ouyang Yingying had already stumbled out.

Ouyang Mingri saw her and, unable to bear it, manipulated his true qi to lift Ouyang Yingying as well, then stepped into the air and vanished from the city.

Outside the city, he unsealed the acupoints of Ouyang Feiying and Ouyang Yingying.

"Who was that?"

Ouyang Feiying's voice was trembling.

Ouyang Mingri said with a smile, "That was His Majesty Taizong of the Great Tang, who descended from the heavenly realm to set the world in order again. What? Does Father wish to compete with His Majesty Taizong?"

Ouyang Feiying listened and stood dumbfounded on the spot.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh, and his aura suddenly withered, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

"His Majesty Taizong?"

"Haha, if it is him, what virtue or ability have I to contend against him?"

Ouyang Mingri had long foreseen this and said, "What? Father doesn't want Sifang City anymore?"

"Can't keep it!" Ouyang Feiying sighed at length. "His Majesty Taizong's civil governance and military prowess shine through the ages. Even if I wanted it, what could I do?"

Ouyang Yingying was shocked: "Father, if you're no longer the City Lord, doesn't that mean I'm no longer the City Lord's daughter either?!"

Ouyang Feiying shook his head without speaking, his heart full of bitterness.

A force built up over many years, seized in a single day—how could he possibly let go of it all at once!

Seven days passed in a flash.

The people of Sifang City still remembered the coup of seven days ago!

The heavenly soldiers descended, and His Majesty Taizong of the Great Tang descended from the heavenly realm to once again take charge of the world.

From this day on, the face of Sifang City changed.

Taxes were reduced, tax rates were lowered, and corvée labor was abolished entirely.

Moreover, the government even distributed a considerable amount of grain, as well as some seed varieties reportedly capable of yielding several thousand jin per mu.

Real, tangible benefits in hand — in just seven days, the common folk of Sifang City had already forgotten Ouyang Feiying and fully accepted Li Shimin's rule.

Moreover, compared to before, the people were happier than ever, their faces beaming with smiles, their eyes full of hope.

"It's really wonderful — we won't have to do corvée labor anymore!"

"That's right, and with immortal grain yielding several thousand jin per mu, from now on no one will ever starve to death."

"They say Your Majesty has already canonized deities in the mortal realm to move about and bring rain, so from now on our Sifang City will be like the lands south of the river, with abundant rainfall."

"Brother Gou, your mother was ill — how is she now?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty's Medicine Department bestowed immortal medicine, and my mother has fully recovered. Your Majesty truly is an immortal — how merciful."

Huangfu Renhe walked along the main street, his eyes brimming with joy.

(Having spent the money) "I truly made a wise decision, allowing my father's legacy to flourish and grow."

He still wore his constable uniform, working as a minor constable in the city, solving the people's troubles, feeling only that life was easy and pleasant.

"Xiao Xi, I'm no longer the city lord's young lady — why are you following me?" Suddenly, a clear, crisp voice rang out, "Besides, hasn't your family already been allotted over a hundred mu of farmland—

—and told you to go back?"

"Young Lady, just let me follow you!"

"If I go back, I won't be able to farm either!"

Huangfu Renhe turned his head and saw Ouyang Yingying and her maid Xiao Xi walking along Sheng Street.

Having lost her identity as the city lord's young lady, Ouyang Yingying was somewhat sullen. Seeing someone looking her way, she gave a cold snort: "What are you looking at? Watch those dog-eyes of yours!"
