Chapter 985: Power Over the Court

Wei Yuan moved out the Zhao Guo sand table map, put it on the airship, and then drove the airship straight to Jindu. On the way, Wei Yuan stared at the sand table, and one plan after another was constantly perfected in the earthly paradise.

At this time, in Qingming's Yong'an City, several Dao Foundation cultivators in the Government Affairs Office suddenly returned to their seats and began to write furiously. One order after another was written, summarized to the main building of the Government Affairs Office.

Xiao Yu sat behind the wide table, looking at each order carefully, then comparing it with the general plan in the earthly paradise, and stamping it after confirmation. Immediately, cultivators took the orders and sent them to the responsible departments in categories. Many orders were transferred again through the earthly paradise and sent directly to other cities in other places.

At this moment, the distance between the east, west, north, and south of Qingming exceeded six thousand li. Even if Dao Foundation cultivators flew to deliver letters, it would take half a day. But with the earthly paradise relay, it could arrive instantly.

Wei Yuan had only been gone for an hour, and Qingming had already begun to start.

Rows of Dao Foundation cultivators pushed open the warehouse doors weighing tens of thousands of catties. Cargo trucks had already stopped at the warehouse doors, and more cargo trucks were arriving one after another. The cultivators loaded boxes of packaged military rations and meat onto the cargo trucks, preparing to transport them to Zhao Guo.

Daoist Chu He constantly rushed from one pasture to another. Every time he arrived at a pasture, a large number of mature guinea pigs would enter the processing workshop on their own and become meat. And because there were too many, the originally idle breeding mice began to get busy.

A large number of floating airships that had not been completely finished took off directly, flying to designated locations. The internal structure of the floating boats was exposed, and the packaging hadn't even been done. One by one, the "Cloud Heaven Roaring Guests" brought their own stools, boarded the airships, and began this round of emergency tasks.

Half a day later, Qingming's first cargo truck fleet was fully loaded with grain and headed to Zhao Guo.

Wei Yuan landed outside Yingdu City and walked into the Vajra Zen Temple.

Walking into the courtyard gate, Wei Yuan saw the green-eyed woman in a plain dress and cloth skirt, sweeping in the courtyard. The weather was extremely cold at this time, and several plum trees in the Zen temple were blooming just right, with petals falling all over the ground. The green-eyed woman waved her broom, sweeping the fallen flowers into a pile. Something was planted in that flower pile, and a little new green was sprouting.

The green-eyed woman swept the fallen flowers on her own and said, "The Prince of Jin is in the side hall; you go over yourself."

Wei Yuan nodded and walked into the courtyard. At this time, he suddenly saw that there was half a pool of clear water in the merit lotus pond, with three or five lotus leaves floating on the water, and then a small lotus bud.

Wei Yuan looked at the lotus bud more, and at this time, the bell suddenly rang, echoing in the ancient temple courtyard, layer upon layer, as if washing away quite a bit of dust in the world.

That lotus bud suddenly opened, bloomed, and turned into a small white lotus.

Wei Yuan was thoughtful, feeling that he understood something, but also as if he didn't understand anything.

Wei Yuan continued forward, looked up at the main hall in front, and the main hall had a few more meanings of decay and death, and a wild vine grew on the wall, climbing constantly in the cold.

Wei Yuan turned around, walked onto the side path, and stepped into the side hall. In the side hall, a lamp was like a bean, and the lotus platform was empty. The Prince of Jin sat cross-legged before the Buddha niche, wrapped in a thick blanket, his head nodding, drowsy.

The green lamp was placed in front of him, illuminating only a three-foot area around him. Outside the lamp light was darkness, and there seemed to be many things baring fangs and brandishing claws inside.

Wei Yuan walked to the Prince of Jin's side and sat down on the futon next to him. Hearing the footsteps, the Prince of Jin opened his eyes, looked for a while before recognizing Wei Yuan, and then had some spirit, saying, "You are here."

At this time, the Prince of Jin clearly had more than ten years of life left, but he was old beyond recognition, and compared to the last time they met, he was at least a hundred years older.

Wei Yuan guessed that there must be a reason for this, but since the green-eyed woman was by the Prince of Jin's side, these things didn't need him to worry about.

Wei Yuan took out a medicine box, placed it in front of the Prince of Jin, and said, "I accidentally got a good thing, so I specially brought it to offer to the Great King."

The Prince of Jin stared at the medicine box, and after a while, opened it, revealing a pill that was as red as blood, with flames burning inside.

The Prince of Jin was no stranger to this medicine; he knew it was a life-extending treasure medicine as soon as he smelled the pill Qi, and the quality was higher than the last time.

The Prince of Jin showed a complex expression, sighed heavily, and his breathing was full of heavy phlegm. He suddenly coughed violently, and after a while, he calmed down and sighed: "I originally planned to abdicate this year, pass the throne to the Prince of Chu, and quietly finish the remaining few years. But you came at this time. This pill of treasure medicine, it seems, is very difficult to swallow!" ===== CHAPTER 986 =====
