Chapter 661: Finally Escaped

~11 min read 2,041 words

"It's really not going to work. I think I should leave quickly after leaving behind the inheritance. It's a pity that there are family members left there. Why don't I go and tell them to divorce? Being hunted is not a good thing. The problem is how to compensate?" Bai Lang was also thinking about this problem at this time.

The founding Emperor enjoyed the country for ten or twenty years, which was not short. Originally, he came to vent and try to walk the originally blocked road again. Being an Emperor was not what he wanted. Bai Lang felt quite impatient now. The authority to carve up the world was very intoxicating, but this was not what Bai Lang wanted at all.

This guy had always been following his own heart, but now he had to make plans for himself after he left—so Bai Lang was actually a good person.

The first important thing was to establish the Crown Prince. Although it was his first time being an Emperor, Bai Lang had seen several Emperors before, and he had read quite a few modern historical novels and web novels. He could guess that even if he established the Crown Prince, it would be inevitable to have a bloody storm in the future.

At least for these two younger brothers, he couldn't keep them all, unless he gave one a piece of land to be a king—but if he was sealed on the San'er side... "Seems a bit miserable?" Bai Lang muttered. The best solution was for him to have a son, but it was probably quite difficult.

If he could have one, wouldn't he have had one long ago? Bai Lang also felt whether he had practiced martial arts to some kind of problem, or was it that he actually had reproductive isolation with the people of this world? In short, no matter what he did, he had to cut the Gordian knot, otherwise, there would be endless troubles if he delayed.

So Bai Lang also called the two children and asked them to demonstrate the civil and martial arts to him. In the end, he chose Bai Bao's son. He immediately asked the cabinet to hold a meeting, and the Hanlin scholar drafted an edict to seal the Crown Prince, and the other child was directly sealed as a King—separating him directly from Bai Biao's lineage.

Bai Lang could still stay for a few years. It should be said that he could suppress this consequence to a relatively small level. As long as he was still there, the bureaucrats, harem concubines, and nobles who originally stood in line could stand in line again—originally, it was the Martial Emperor who made the decision, and there was no one who could guide his ideas. Bai Lang didn't need to consider the reaction in the court—it was like this originally.

The Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin basically established the foundation of the country. At the same time, news came that the fleet led by Bai Ying was also defeated by the Dutch-Portuguese coalition. Bai Ying's ultra-long-range sniping killed many captains and officers, but the advantages in ship hull and cannons still caused heavy losses to Bai Ying's fleet.

Everyone had ships of similar tonnage sunk, and each fled back to the port to lick their wounds—it's just that Bai Ying was closer to the port, while the coalition had to retreat to the Red Sea. They couldn't stand in the port here in Malacca because the landed infantry was too fierce.

The expeditionary army in the San'er direction finally returned one after another by ship a year and a half later. They transported back quite a lot of looted gold, silver, and horses, and of course, the women they robbed, but the port was abandoned. Bai Lang was too lazy to talk about them because people wanted to return. If they didn't occupy the San'er place, they didn't occupy it. Anyway, the two East India Companies didn't dare not let mainland merchants come to trade. It's better to say they were impatient for this.

Five more years, Bai Lang became more and more lazy in government. Almost all major events were left to the cabinet. After opening the sea ban, the power of merchants grew, and after the "Tanding Rumou" (tax reform), the tax received increased quite a bit. Industrialization also gradually began—after changing the scope of the imperial examination and stopping the actions similar to the literary inquisition, quite a few people began to study Western learning.

In short, the direction should be good. And Bai Lang was almost tired of playing with the old women in the harem. He couldn't take them away. Even the "spiritual" Lin sister was just a "qualified" Empress now. Her worldview had not transcended the era.

After getting older, she was actually quite similar to her mother's lineage. In short, Bai Lang let the Crown Prince be raised under her, and also set the position of the Empress Dowager.

"This restlessness is becoming more and more obvious." Bai Lang closed his eyes. In his divine sense, he could see the violently restless fighting spirit in the endless distance. When the fighting spirit took shape, it was an extremely violent big baboon, as strong as a gorilla, its tail swinging fiercely, its arms tearing at the golden Sanskrit trapping it, and that terrifying face opening to roar.

This was the master, looking very fierce. However, it seemed that Bai Lang couldn't rely on this guy to run away—after all, this old thing had been squatting in the bitter kiln for years. It was true that he had rich experience in fleeing and breaking out of prison, but to say hiding? Bai Lang looked left and right, and this violent baboon monster didn't look like the type of "hundred-faced man" who was good at hiding himself.

"Violent criminals are all like this." Bai Lang sighed. Relying on his master to rescue him, he could only slide down the path of a violent criminal, so he had to run away secretly, don't shoot.

This had to rely on others. The demon monk had actually hinted to Bai Lang long ago... Bai Lang touched the Jade Fish that had followed him for so many years. He knew the origin of this thing long ago. It was at the same level as his master—of course, the lower limit and upper limit of this level were a bit large. Anyway, it was a shuttle treasure made by a Taoist named Zhou Xianda who claimed to be at the same level.

The current situation was that he couldn't simply rely on this thing to run back to the main world or jump to other worlds. That was useless for the Heavenly Court "complex" that wanted to take him to jail. He had to be more transcendent, that is, the place that looked like a tavern that he had seen once.

Bai Lang instinctively felt that that place might be the safest place, at least for jailbreaking. "A place of lawlessness, the forces from these worlds cannot easily reach into it." Bai Lang knew a little about the endless void, and this place was a bubble in the endless void, a place independent of the world.

It was a space opened up by some great power. Those who could enter should be related households, right?

This was already the seventeenth year after Bai Lang usurped the throne. The world had been stable for about ten years. There were still five or six years left before the limit warned by the demon monk, but Bai Lang felt that he couldn't run away at the end, he still had to leave a margin. The Crown Prince was about thirteen years old, and he couldn't be called a young Emperor if he ascended the throne at this time.

"So it's time for me to slip away. But I can't slip away secretly, at least I have to leave a mark in the history books of later generations, which can be considered 'legitimacy of the dynasty'." Bai Lang made up his mind, so when he was in the court meeting—now it was no longer a morning court on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th, but a simple rule of a major court meeting on the 10th, and he only needed to attend court three times a month, everyone could be lazy. "My dear ministers, I am leaving." Bai Lang threw out a king bomb at the beginning.

The ministers headed by the cabinet below were shocked, "I don't know where the Emperor wants to go?" Looking at them, they didn't look like fools who knew nothing. Someone directly went out of the class and said it was better to announce the imperial physician. His two younger brothers and two younger sisters looked at their elder brother calmly.

"Hahahaha, don't panic. It's not that I'm going to pop, but it seems to be about the same as popping. I'm going to return to my position!" Bai Lang pointed to the sky, "Choosing a day is not as good as hitting a day! Let's do it today." He signaled the palace maids and servants to call the concubines over, while he walked through the ministers and stood on the huge square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The concubines in the harem came very quickly, even those living in the West Garden and the West Park arrived within an hour—the big carriage was so fast, and there was the City Patrol Division clearing the way in the city. They saw Bai Lang crying and saying that the Emperor should not leave, and the ministers also knelt down one after another asking the Emperor not to leave.

Bai Lang was a true "Holy Emperor ruling by doing nothing," and he was really one of the best Emperors in the hearts of these cabinet people, but they knew that they probably couldn't stop him. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Bai Lang also exhaled and his voice spread throughout the Imperial City. "From tomorrow, the Crown Prince will inherit the great unification! As for me? Don't build the Imperial Mausoleum, it's a waste of money." He pulled the Crown Prince over, "Treat the ministers well, treat the Empress Dowager and the concubines well, if not... hehe." He scared the child.

"Take my armor!" The Ming-style mountain-pattern armor, the helmet was put on one by one, Bai Lang casually hung the iron halberd on his waist, and walked toward the middle with big strides. "Essence and Qi flow, don't make trouble for me." Bai Lang felt that after finishing the installation, don't come to a "ge leng" (clatter) at that time.

He almost knew the mystery of the Jade Fish. He had to use destructive violence to break this thing. In the past, he couldn't do it because he was lacking in pure violence, but now after walking it again, after having the power of ghosts, he didn't need to be so violent.

A clear sky thunder struck down, and Bai Lang turned into a White Tiger, instead rushing up against the thunder. A fierce wind blew, and the roar of a fierce tiger came from the wind, but it disappeared without a trace after a while.

Bai Lang had no time to care about what happened behind him. This guy operated his martial arts, and the Qi of the Southern Dipper White Tiger Fist dissipated into blades of wind, circling around him. He only felt a terrifying pressure coming from all directions. The wind blades around him were compressed again and again, and it looked like he was going to be finished.

Light flashed, the pressure disappeared without a trace. What Bai Lang saw was a man he was quite familiar with. This man taught him a little knowledge about the soul, and now it seemed that he also pulled him. Just like a fish jumping out of the water, Bai Lang fell into a dark place, knocking the tables and chairs into a mess.

"Wait a minute, you have to arrange them, welcome to come." Behind the long counter, a voice came lazily. ===== CHAPTER 662 =====
