Chapter 962: Southern Wilderness (Four Changes)
In the south of the border, five years have passed since the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, and the forgetful people seem to have come out of the shadow of the disaster of that year, thrown themselves into the new atmosphere of the new empire, and adapted to the new policies and new rulers.
Away from the smoke of war, you don't have to worry about the wielding of the butcher's knife.
It is the happiness of waiting for ten years.
Those who survived buried their loved ones who died in the war, returned to their hometowns destroyed in the smoke of gunfire, and rebuilt their homes in peace.
Five years is not a short time, but it has revitalized the land that has been irrigated by blood for a long time, gradually found a way home for the displaced people, and gradually restored the dilapidated cities and villages to their original appearance.
The whole border south shows great vitality, and the surviving people cherish the hard-won living environment, but after ten years of turmoil, the people who have survived the hardships have gradually gained a new habit, that is, to set up a desk in the courtyard every morning, burn incense and worship, and pray to the heavens to keep the suffering away from this land and let peace stay in the world forever.
However, under the surface calm, in the overall prosperity, there is a trace of fear, a trace of melancholy and misery buried in the hearts of almost all the people.
They come from the well-known situation in the frontier wilderness - separation!
King Zhou Ling commanded the troops to take the territory of the original Dross, known as the god of war, the king of soldiers, and the commander, all kinds of honors and titles set off the unparalleled respect and glory, but after the destruction of the country, he was reluctant to respond to the call of the royal family, ignoring the various honors crowned by the royal family.
He stayed in the original Dross Empire, controlled millions of soldiers, and even rebuilt a new city on the site of the original Dross Imperial City, creating the first fortified city in the south of the border - Tianling City!
A heavenly word, the meaning is extraordinary, a spiritual word, full of hidden meaning.
King Ling of Zhou completely ignored the existence of the Great Zhou royal family, regarded the occupied Dross Empire as his own territory, openly appointed city lords, generals, and nobles, demarcated the boundary line on his own, displayed male soldiers, and built fortifications, as if playing an independent posture.
The Great Zhou royal family maintained patience and restraint, concentrated on digesting the territory of the original Suo Luo Empire, developed national strength, expanded the army, strengthened the imperial family's control over the local area, and also strengthened the people's sense of belonging to the Great Zhou royal family.
The Great Zhou royal family has already understood the purpose of King Zhou Ling, but the war in the south of the border has just subsided, and it really can't withstand more tribulations, otherwise even if the country is defeated, the devastation left behind will make the people completely lose confidence in the royal family.
The royal family did not dare to start a 'civil war' again before Suo Luo really took control, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In this way, from the initial-for-tat, to the later covert deployment, and then to the current calm development of national strength, preparing for forces, the two sides are at peace with each other, do not interfere with each other, but are doing their best to prepare for a war that may break out at any time.
Heavenly Spirit City.
The brand-new Imperial Palace stands majestically in the middle of the city.
It was rebuilt after the destruction of the original Dross Palace, which took two full years, and was more magnificent and magnificent, and more heavily guarded than the original palace.
At noon, King Zhou Ling sat in the pavilion outside the zoo, enjoying a comfortable lunch break and admiring the special environment in the zoo.
Although it is a royal zoo, whether it is the area, layout, or primitive abundance, it is very eye-catching, as if a certain mountain area has been forcibly moved. But there are no rare beasts in it, and there are no demon kings and demon lords, they are all the most ordinary beasts.
Like jackals, earth dogs, poisonous man, crocodiles, falcons, ligres, and so on.
The environment of the zoo is very cruel, no one feeds, no one takes care of it, only constantly invest in new beasts, if they want to survive, if they want to occupy the territory of survival, there is only one way - fight!
Therefore, there is no wreaking havoc of spiritual power, no swing of combat skills, some are just the catharsis of claws and teeth, only the collision of body and bones, the most bloody and cruel picture is performed all year round, which is a true portrayal of the law of the jungle.
King Zhou Ling likes to come here during his lunch break, sipping fine wine, enjoying delicious food, and admiring the cruel pictures, so as to inspire his own bloodiness and make himself never forget the cruelty of the world.
Of course, he would also bring some ministers and generals here from time to time, and it depended on who would leave alive instead of becoming food for the beasts.
"Has anything interesting happened in the Central Plains recently?" Zhou Lingwang enjoyed the half-cooked venison and casually asked the guests around him.
In front of him, there was a scene in the zoo that interested him, three jackals were biting a female elephant, and the painful sound of the elephant made the jackals even more violent, and the pungent smell of blood aroused the cruelty in their bones.
Weak and strong, teamwork!
He loved it!
Just like the current situation in the south of the border, he means that the jackal, although it is not as powerful and huge as the giant elephant, but it is more wild and bloody, and in the end it can still bite the giant elephant alive and appreciate its wailing miserable state.
"There are a lot of things, but none of them have anything to do with Biannan. "The guest is none other than the new envoy just sent by the Holy Spirit Temple, a distinguished figure urgently dispatched from the Canglan Ancient Land - the Heavenly Fire Envoy!
Originally, the actions of the entire Southern Wilderness were originally under the sole responsibility of the Heavenly Demon Envoy, but the disappearance of the successive fierce swords completely angered the Heavenly Demon Envoy, and the leakage of Matthews's whereabouts was also transmitted to the main hall, which naturally attracted an angry reprimand.
The Holy Spirit gave a death order to recapture the sword, and a new envoy had to be sent to take the town.
"The hall master attaches great importance to the land in the south of the border, and when the various deployments in the Central Plains are basically completed, he will send more supreme people to assist. The Heavenly Fire Envoy ignored the carefully prepared food in front of him, and focused more on the battle in the zoo.
Accustomed to killing and killing from above, and accustomed to moving mountains and rivers to harvest thousands of lives with the snap of a finger, I rarely pay attention to such a bloody scene, such a primitive collision, and enjoy it today...... It's a different flavor.
"I still hope to completely defeat the Great Zhou royal family on the battlefield!" King Zhou Ling cut off a piece of venison and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly and hard, a trace of blood gathered at the corner of his mouth, making his expression ruthless.
"Time does not allow, we must preserve the original appearance of the border to the greatest extent possible, and we must not lose too much life. At that time, nearly 100 strong people will descend on the south of the border and take down the royal family and main supporters of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the same time. You only need to accurately grasp the whereabouts of the Great Zhou royal family and the main supporting generals within this year, and guide our people when they are ready to act, and you will be your Biannan Emperor in the future. ”
A hint of gloom flashed between King Zhou Ling's eyebrows, and he was very resistant to the way of the Holy Spirit Temple. Although he longed to unify the Southern Wilderness, what he wanted was to defeat the Great Zhou royal family on the field, so that the entire Biannan would submit to his feet and worship in awe.
Instead of this kind of unsuspenseful power suppression, it can't reflect its own ability, it can't show its majesty, and after the news is leaked, it will even be treated as a puppet.
The Heavenly Fire Envoy said again: "Where is the most fierce sword?"
"Venerable Mutuwa is taking care of it, he has already understood some of the mysteries inside, he was promoted to the third order martial venerable last year, and there will be no accidents if he watches it. King Zhou Ling showed a slight vigilance, the current Mu Tuwa is the number one fierce general under his command, he is not only a third-order martial artist, but also assisted by a fierce sword, unless he encounters a superman at the semi-saint level, he can completely be proud of his peers.
He was worried that the Holy Spirit Temple would forcibly guard it.
The Heavenly Fire Envoy sensed King Zhou Ling's vigilance and calculation, but did not break it, but said: "The fierce sword is a matter of importance, and it is only temporarily stored in the Southern Wilderness." In the past, because of your concealment, the main hall didn't know that four were lost in succession, so naturally they didn't pursue it much. But this time the situation is different, the news has reached the main hall, and the hall master personally asked, if you can't get back the sword in Matthews's hand, not only the Heavenly Demon Envoy will suffer, but even you will be implicated. ”
"The Heavenly Demon Envoy has already gone after him personally, and I believe it won't be long before he can get it back. King Zhou Ling was very uncomfortable with the tone of the Heavenly Fire Envoy, he used to just want to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Temple, but he didn't expect their power to be so terrifying, and he directly controlled himself in disguise, but now it is too late to get rid of it, and he can only use each other with the snake.
"That's the best, it's good for everyone. The Heavenly Fire Envoy got up and walked to the fence, overlooking the scene of the fighting in the zoo.
"Is Your Excellency staying in the palace to recuperate, or is he going to go around the territory?" King Zhou Ling was not in the mood to eat any more, and got up to send off the guests.
The Heavenly Fire Envoy was silent for a while, and said, "There is something I would like to ask." ”
King Zhou Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, why was he suddenly polite. "Do you remember the Tang family in Giant Elephant City?"
"Of course, never forget!" King Zhou Ling's tone was full of meaning, the killing of the Giant Elephant City back then was the most embarrassing defeat in his life, not only losing his troops, but also taking his daughter!
"What is the origin of the Tang family?" "The Heavenly Fire Envoy slowly turned his head and stared at King Zhou Ling with burning eyes.
"The family in the northern frontier of the former Great Zhou Empire, what's wrong?"
"How many years have they survived in Elephant City, did they grow from a small family, or did they migrate from somewhere else?"
"I don't understand what Your Excellency wants to ask. ”
"Because of some special events, the main hall is very curious about the origin of the Tang family, so he appointed me to do some investigations, which is also another purpose for me to be sent to Biannan. ”
