Chapter 88: The Era of Chaos Has Arrived

Just as Lin Feng was pondering how to improve the Paper Men's combat effectiveness, various places in the Great Xia Dynasty also became lively because of the news that Southeast Liuzhou had raised a flag to rebel.

In the Li King's Mansion in Mingzhou, the Li King, dressed in a python robe, looked at the urgent report in his hand and laughed directly.

"Hahaha, someone really sent a pillow just as I was getting sleepy!"

The military advisor opposite, Yan Zongyuan, couldn't help but stroke his beard and then added: "This time, the rebellion in Liuzhou will inevitably trigger the imperial court to suppress it with all its might. At that time, we can also see how much color the current imperial court still has."

"That's right, they say the protruding rafter rots first, but it's not a bad piece of stone to ask the way!"

The Li King's tone was quite cheerful. Some things had to wait; only when the water was muddy enough would there be an opportunity.

Such a major event as contending for the world required even more patience. The person who could endure until the end was the one who could laugh.

"However, the military report from Colonel Jiang last time cannot be ignored. That Supreme Human expert was actually able to repel the Incense Temple's founder. If we want to expand eastward next, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Subsequently, the Li King's complexion became somewhat gloomy. The situation that happened in Luohe City was always a thorn in his heart.

The mere existence of that Supreme Human could make Colonel Jiang retreat, unable to raise any thoughts of attacking. From this, it could be seen how powerful his strength was!

Yet such a person was a man of his useless imperial brother who only knew how to enjoy himself, which made him increasingly jealous.

"What if we send someone to win him over?"

Seeing his lord's changing complexion, Yan Zongyuan came up with another plan in his heart.

To be honest, two moves made and two moves missed had caused his face as a military advisor to be somewhat lost.

But the other party's powerful strength was absolute. No matter how many strategies he thought of, he was helpless, so he came up with such a strategy.

"Does the advisor mean to defect him?"

Hearing this, the Li King frowned somewhat. According to his understanding, the other party must be a palace attendant, and status, wealth, and beauty would definitely not be lacking.

"To tell the King, according to what this subject knows, every chaotic era is the time to achieve the status of a Saint. That person is now a Supreme Human, and if he wants to go further, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"But if he assists the King in seizing the world, this opportunity might fall on him. At that time, it will also be a happy event for us!"

Yan Zongyuan's words made the Li King suddenly realize. Indeed, the things he could take out might not compare to the imperial palace, but they might be able to let the other party go further!

Even if it couldn't be done, it didn't matter. As long as he used this to persuade the other party, it would be enough.

And even if it didn't succeed in the end, he wouldn't have any losses, would he?

"As you said, who is more suitable to send to win him over?"

After making the decision, the Li King didn't dither and asked Yan Zongyuan directly.

"How about letting Princess Qingyuan make a trip?"

"Let her go?"

The Li King immediately thought of his most beloved daughter and was somewhat puzzled as to why Yan Zongyuan said this.

"Princess Qingyuan has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood and has even taken Mr. Gao as her teacher. Whether it is vision, knowledge, or dealing with people, she is a top choice."

"Letting the Princess go will be more convenient than others. After all, it is probably not easy for outsiders to see such a senior, but the Princess can visit under the name of paying a visit."

At present, the Li King had not truly raised a flag to rebel. At the very least, on the surface, his daughter was still an imperial princess, and wanting to pay a visit to some senior expert could naturally be justified.

"Approved. Let Qingyuan make a trip!"

After Yan Zongyuan made it clear, the Li King made a decision directly.

"Yes!"

——————

In the capital, the Chief of the Ghost Suppression Division stood on the top of a corner tower of the headquarters yamen, looking at the direction of the Imperial City, silent.

Ever since the news of Liuzhou raising a flag to rebel reached the capital, the entire capital had clearly become a bit more lively tonight.

Talented scholars in the brothels and taverns, accompanied by beauties, drank wine and wrote poems, cursing the Liuzhou Inspector Jiao Jinwen for being a corpse in a position and not doing his job, and cursing the water general Luo Guang who raised the flag to rebel for being implicated to the ninth generation!

The common people gathered together after dinner and sighed. Once this rebellion started, the imperial court would definitely take the opportunity to increase taxes again, and I'm afraid the people's livelihood would become increasingly difficult.

In the Council Hall of the Imperial Palace, several trusted officials of the Emperor were arguing endlessly about who to send to lead the army to quell the rebellion.

The current Pingyu Emperor, sitting high on the dragon throne, looked sleepy. He had just been forcibly helped up from his favorite concubine's bed by a eunuch, and his sleepiness had not yet dissipated.

Outside the court, high officials, wealthy giants, and princes were also unable to sleep.

Carriages and horses came and went, sedan chairs swayed, and the front and back doors became lively one after another.

It was clearly already night, but the coming and going of carriages and sedan chairs had actually created the illusion of a temple fair.

"The chaos in the world starts from this, the wind and rain are swaying, and the three realms are uneasy!"

Looking at the lights of every household in the capital, Li Changge, the Chief of the Ghost Suppression Division, had a feeling in his heart.

He was not surprised by the current situation, or rather, it was an accident that someone had only raised a flag to rebel until now.

When he went to the Tattoo Sect to ask for an explanation, he also happened to see the situation in the south of Great Xia.

It was clearly a wealthy place with favorable weather, yet people were starving to death on the streets. It was clearly close to rivers, yet people couldn't even catch fish or shrimp!

——————

At the Tattoo Sect beside the Ling River in the south of Great Xia, the Grandmaster who had not returned long ago had a vicious look on his face.

"Hehe, the Chief of the Ghost Suppression Division actually bullied his way onto my head!"

He only learned after returning to the Tattoo Sect that in the days he left here to go to Luohe City, the Chief of the Ghost Suppression Division had actually come to the door to ask for an explanation.

At that time, neither he nor the Master Granny was there. How could the disciples left in the sect suppress the other party? In the end, they suffered a big loss at the other party's hands!

"Grandmaster! This time, many brothers suffered the other party's poisonous hands. We can't swallow this breath!"

Beside him, a disciple's face flushed red, his whole body's veins bulging, and his full-blown anger made a ghost-face tattoo on his face deform.

"He, the Ghost Suppression Division, dares to bully his way onto my head. This hatred must be repaid ten times or a hundred times!"

The Grandmaster, who had already been holding a belly full of evil fire in Luohe City, was now already burning with anger.

"Luo Guang of Liuzhou has raised a flag to rebel. Do any of you brothers have any involvement in it?"

New hatred and old hatred, the Grandmaster asked the disciples and sect members beside him directly.

"Hehe, not to hide it from Grandmaster, we do indeed have a few ghost ships mixed in it."

This question immediately made these burly men feel embarrassed. They had originally wanted to hide it from their Grandmaster.

"Hmph, do you think you can hide it from this old man with your little tricks?"

The Grandmaster gave a disdainful smile, but the next moment his expression became even more vicious.

"Originally, I didn't want to get involved in this matter. Hehe, but this Ghost Suppression Division bullies people too much, doesn't give me any face at all, and doesn't take our Tattoo Sect seriously!"

"Go, tell those bastards, bring out all the ghost ships!"

"This time, I'm going to flip this sky over!"

Originally, he only wanted to bring out the Tattoo Sect's supreme treasure, the Ancestral God Map, to snatch back the Ink Hand, but now he had completely changed his mind.

"Alright!"

"Damn it, I've long wanted to rebel against him!"

"When the time comes, I'll step that dog-skinned Chief of the Ghost Suppression Division under my feet and see if he still dares to show off in front of me!"

As soon as these words came out, all the sect members and disciples present were exceptionally excited, and one by one they immediately rushed outside.

"Old thing, are we really going to get involved?"

After those burly sect members and disciples had almost all left, the Master Granny walked out slowly.

"Hmph, is there any fake about it? If we swallow our teeth into our stomachs without saying a word this time, our Tattoo Sect will be finished with people's hearts drifting away!"

The Grandmaster glared and then replied angrily and helplessly.

"Sigh, fine then, you are the one in charge, but we must consider a way out!"

The Master Granny was still somewhat worried. The battle in Luohe City earlier made her always feel that something was wrong. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
