Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14686 Military Power (II)

Decai hung up the phone, then turned to look at Zuoqiuwen. Zuoqiuwen said in a deep voice: "Go check out that Blood and Flesh Demon Prison. This technique sounds a bit weird." Decai responded, then turned and went to the side hall next to him and made arrangements. Then he returned to Zuoqiuwen. Zuoqiuwen closed his eyes again. He didn't speak and fell asleep soon.

Decai stood there until about six o'clock in the morning, then he gently woke up Zuoqiuwen. After Zuoqiuwen got up, Decai immediately asked someone to help Zuoqiuwen wash and change clothes. After waiting, it was almost seven o'clock. Decai followed Zuoqiuwen to the main hall. After a while, they arrived there, and the ministers were already waiting for them in the hall.

It was not until Zuoqiu Wen sat on the dragon throne that the ministers below saluted him. At this time, they were required to kneel down and kowtow. This was also one of the few places in the Star Empire where they were required to kneel down and kowtow.

Zuo Qiuwen said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite, please stand up." The minister then stood up, and then Zuo Qiuwen looked at everyone and said: "I called everyone here today to tell you one thing. The Beast Garden was attacked again last night. This is the second time the Beast Garden has been attacked recently. I know everyone is curious about why those people would attack the Beast Garden. There is nothing good there, just some wild beasts. Why would someone attack there? I can tell you that these people went there just for Zhao Hai, and the reason they wanted to attack Zhao Hai is because... Zhao Hai is currently conducting a research on spiritual roots. He wants to see why people in our Star Empire don't have spiritual roots and why people in our Star Empire can't practice the other six realms' skills. However, Mr. Zhao Hai has just proposed this idea and has just started researching. There has been no progress, but he has been attacked twice in a row. It can be seen that someone doesn't want us to know why we don't have spiritual roots. He is really worthy of death. "Zuo Qiuwen said at the end, his face was already full of anger.

However, the ministers below were all surprised when they heard Zuo Qiuwen’s words. Some of them really didn’t know that Zhao Hai was researching spiritual roots, but some of them knew. People from the big families all knew about it. In fact, it wasn’t just the Twelve Companies that didn’t want Zhao Hai’s research to succeed. Those big families didn’t necessarily want to see Zhao Hai succeed in his research, because once Zhao Hai succeeded, then their family’s advantage might be gone, which was what they hated to see the most.

At this time, Zuo Qiuwen continued, "The first group that wanted to attack the Beast Garden were the Dark Guards. They were bribed and wanted to attack the Beast Garden, but they failed. And last night, a group of people dressed in Dark Guards' uniforms attacked the Beast Garden directly. They were so bold, really so bold. What surprised me even more was that the Dark Guards' uniforms they wore were actually real."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked. They knew about the secret guards and the secret guards' uniforms, but they did not expect that those secret guards' uniforms were real. This was too shocking. They really did not expect it.

Zuoqiu Wen then said: "Zuoqiu Zhi, please explain to me why the people who attacked the Beast Garden were all wearing the same style of the secret guard uniforms of the secret guard team in your mansion?" After saying this, Zuoqiu Wen looked at Zuoqiu Zhi with eyes like lightning.

When everyone heard Zuo Qiuwen say this, they were all stunned, and then their faces all changed. They all looked at Zuo Qiuzhi, and Zuo Qiuzhi immediately came out of the class, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know. Although that team of secret guards is in my house, they are not under my command. I really don't know."

"What a good thing that you are not under your command. Do you think you can get away with it? As the garrison general of the capital star, you didn't even know that so many dangerous people had entered the capital star. Do you know your crime?" Zuoqiu Wen accused Zuoqiu Zhian of another crime.

Zuoqiu Zhi quickly bowed to Zuoqiu Wen and said, "I know my crime, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zuoqiu Wen looked at Zuoqiu Zhi and said, "Okay, from today on, the garrison will be divided into two. One half will still be under your command, and for the other half, I will send someone else to take charge. I will also fine you one year's salary. Do you agree?" After Zuoqiu Wen finished speaking, he looked at Zuoqiu Zhi.

Zuoqiu Zhi responded, then kowtowed to Zuoqiu Wen, then stood up and retreated into the crowd. However, those ministers were a little surprised at Zuoqiu Wen's punishment this time. You know, Zuoqiu Zhi has always been Zuoqiu Wen's most trusted person. Unexpectedly, Zuoqiu Wen would punish him so severely this time. Deducting one year's salary is really nothing, but taking away half of his military power is the heaviest punishment. The reason why all his military power was not taken away was obviously because they were worried that Zuoqiu Zhi would be forced into a corner, which would cause chaos. Therefore, such a punishment was already very severe. No one expected it to be so severe. Everyone looked at Zuoqiu Zhi with sympathy, and at the same time, they were thinking in their minds whether they could win the power to manage half of the garrison. If they could really command half of the garrison, it would be a great thing for their family. Zuo Qiuwen glanced at the people below and said, "Decai, announce the decree." Decai responded, then stepped forward and said loudly, "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Luo Jiaying, the commander of the Dark Guard, has performed his duties conscientiously, and is loyal, brave and resolute. He is now appointed as the deputy commander of the Garrison Army, commanding the Garrison Army, Tiger Fang, Wolf Blade, Eagle Strike, and Bear Might Armies. He must take up the post immediately and must not make any mistakes."

When everyone heard Decai's appointment, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It turned out that the emperor had already chosen a candidate, and that person was Luo Jiaying. Luo Jiaying was a close confidant of the royal family, and it was indeed very suitable for such a person to lead the army.

Zuo Qiu Wen looked at the people below and said, "I tell you, researching spiritual roots will benefit the present and future generations for our Star Empire. I will support it with all my strength. Even if this generation fails to research it, the next generation must continue the research. No one can stop me. I will support it to the end." After saying that, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and left. Decai followed him and left as well, and the ministers knelt down to see him off.

After Zuoqiu Wen left, the ministers looked at each other, stood up and turned to leave without saying anything. However, Zuoqiu Zhi was walking slowly behind them with a very ugly face. The ministers looked at him but no one said anything. They all knew that Zuoqiu Zhi was now suspected by Zuoqiu Wen. At this time, they certainly did not dare to step forward to talk to Zuoqiu Zhi, so they all left. Seeing this situation, Zuoqiu Zhi's face became even uglier.

On the other side, Zuo Qiuwen, who had just returned to the study and changed his clothes, had just sat down on the couch when a young eunuch came in and handed a piece of paper to Decai. Decai took the paper and took a look at it, then said to Zuo Qiuwen: "Your Majesty, we have found this kind of Flesh and Blood Demon Prison Art. We didn't have this set of skills originally, but it just so happened that one of the people who became a ghost guard this time knew it. He mentioned this kind of skills when he reported it before, but we haven't had time to record it yet."

Zuoqiu Wen was stunned, then he hurriedly said: "Call that man over, I want to ask him in person." Decai responded, and then gave an order. Soon a man in a secret guard uniform, wrapped very tightly all over his body, entered Zuoqiu Wen's study. Then he saluted to Zuoqiu Wen and said: "Greetings, Master." Zuoqiu Wen did not let these people call him His Majesty, and still called him Master.

Zuo Qiuwen said, "I heard that the technique you practice is called Blood and Flesh Devil Prison. How powerful is this technique?"

The man said, "Yes, Master. The technique I practice is indeed the Blood and Flesh Demon Prison. It is actually a somewhat special physical training technique. This technique is very powerful, but it has very high requirements for the flesh and blood that is integrated into our body. We cannot integrate too much, otherwise it will have a huge impact on our body shape, and we cannot integrate too many types of flesh and blood, otherwise it will easily cause flesh and blood conflicts. Therefore, we are very careful when practicing this technique. Even so, the body shape of people who practice this technique is very different from that of ordinary people, because integrating other flesh and blood into the body will make our body look very awkward. Only by practicing to an extremely high level can we truly achieve the perfect integration of those flesh and blood with our own flesh and blood, making us look no different from ordinary people. Therefore, under normal circumstances, not many people practice this technique."

  When Zuo Qiuwen heard him say this, he also became curious, and he continued: "Is there any special ability gained by practicing this set of exercises?" This is what Zuo Qiuwen was most curious about. If this set of exercises was really so difficult to practice, then there should be something special about it, right?

The man said, "To answer the master's question, there is nothing special about this technique. Normally, if we integrate the flesh and blood of a creature, we will have some of that creature's abilities. However, that doesn't work for humans, so we can only integrate other creatures. For example, if we integrate the flesh and blood of a golden-backed ape, we will gain the power of the golden-backed ape. Of course, it will be inferior to the real golden-backed ape, but this method is relatively easier to practice." He explained the special feature of this technique.

Zuo Qiuwen nodded when he heard him say that, "So that's how it is. This is quite interesting. Well, given your current situation, can you integrate the flesh and blood of other creatures into your body and make you look like a normal person?"

When the man heard what Zuo Qiuwen said, he was stunned, and then he said in a deep voice: "Master, I haven't tried it, I don't know if it is feasible, please forgive me." He seemed to have just thought of this, so he seemed a little excited. Although his voice came from the optical brain and seemed to have no emotion, it was a little louder, which showed how excited he was. After listening to his words, Zuo Qiuwen took another look at his appearance and couldn't help but smile and said: "Then give it a try."
