The Emperor is Above

Chapter 390 Where justice lies, we will point our sword at the emperor at all costs!

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces!"

An old man's spicy Sichuan voice flashed through Qing Yi's mind.

Science is not a scientific religion, but a worldview and methodology for studying and summarizing things.

Since this fantasy world has its own systematic research method, then the talisman masters, pharmacists, weapon refiners, puppet masters, mechanical wizards, sorcerers, and mages are equivalent to the scientists of this world.

After having this understanding, Qing Yi's eyes became much gentler and friendlier when he looked at this group of skinny, old and sloppy puppeteers. They were clearly precious scientific research talents!
In addition, they are not ordinary scientific research talents, but comprehensive scientific research talents who have studied in the most advanced Diqiutai College for many years and have more than 30 years of experience in researching large-scale projects.

"We should really write a letter of praise to the Ghost and Witch Department. Not only did they send a Witch Ghost King and allowed our four Dragon Claw Sophora trees to be promoted to first-class tree spirits, but they also brought such a group of talents."

Qing Yi has already imagined how to further explore the puppeteers' innovative inventions. Maybe he could build a dream city in the northern border.

Kui Wendou secretly glanced at the lord who was lost in fantasy, and the panic and fear in his heart finally subsided a little. Although the lord's eyes and expression were strange, they could finally live on with peace of mind.

With the previous warnings and warnings, and the wild dragon eagles and exotic beast totems still watching him covetously, Kui Wendou didn't dare to deceive him anymore.

Instead, he said with an even more respectful look: "Your Excellency is right. Ever since the coup d'état of Diqiu eighty years ago, the Great Shen Dynasty has been declining rapidly.

Over the past hundreds of years, the emperor and royal family of the Dashen Dynasty were united, and the princes of the eight wildernesses were able to remain respectful, paying tribute once a year and every three years.

However, since the coup d'état, three successive emperors have been in endless disputes with the royal family, fearing that another powerful relative would follow the example of the past and plot to seize the throne.

The emperor has no affection or gratitude, even for his own son. The crown prince wanted to bribe the Shen Ce Army but didn't dare to go too far, which gave us a chance to escape from Diqiu."

"Well, then after you fled from Emperor Hill, why didn't you disperse and flee, or live in seclusion in different places? Why did you come to the Northern Wasteland?"

Qing Yi put aside his fantasy of getting rich, and nodded slightly while thinking, "Could it be that you are also unwilling to fail?"

"My Lord, your eyes are sharp!"

Kui Wendou's eyes were filled with bitterness, "The fight for the crown prince has always been bloody. Although we escaped from Diqiu in a hurry, our families were innocently killed and imprisoned.

With such a deep hatred, who can easily give up the revenge of genocide? After some discussion, we decided to go to Weiguo to seek asylum and look for opportunities for revenge. "

At this point, Kui Wendou glanced at Gongsun Wu subconsciously, hesitated for a moment and continued: "Duke Wei is a duke of the Great Shen Dynasty, and Wei is a big country in Zhongzhou. He is on good terms with the emperor's legitimate son who failed in the battle for the crown prince and died.

In addition, Duke Wei was in his prime and had great ambitions. He was very interested in the war puppets we were researching, and despite the opposition of the ministers and princes, he took us all in to continue his research.

But we never expected that after just over half a year, the news of our hiding in Wei State would be leaked out, and we never expected that the crown prince would act so crazily.

He sent his retainers to collude with people around Duke Wei, and poisoned Duke Wei to death with poisoned wine, claiming that he died suddenly, which led to the Five Princes Rebellion breaking out in the State of Wei.

Qing Yi couldn't help but glance at Gongsun Wu. The young man, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, was filled with shock. He never expected that the State of Wei had fallen to this point because of the actions of the crown prince of Diqiu.

"What a cruel heart you have!" Gongsun Wu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.
“For this reason alone, not only did my grandfather die, but also a large country in Zhongzhou with a population of tens of millions was destroyed, leaving nine out of ten households with empty bones scattered all over the ground.

If my grandfather had not been murdered by him, there would not have been a civil war in Wei State, and my father would not have been injured while fleeing and eventually died of illness in Yanjin City!"

"Brother Gongsun, believe me, one day we will be able to avenge our great hatred!" Qing Yi patted Gongsun Wu's shoulder vigorously and promised solemnly, "Where justice lies, we will not hesitate to point our sword at the emperor!" Then Qing Yi turned his head and looked at Kui Wendou: "Since you said that the emperor's retainers colluded with people around Duke Wei, I wonder who was the insider who murdered Duke Wei?"

Qing Yi, who was the lord's senior official, actually made such a promise for the household steward. Having been accustomed to the intrigues and deceitful battles among the lords, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

He replied respectfully, "We don't know who was behind the plot to murder Duke Wei, but the one who did it must be someone close to him. We have speculated that the five princes are highly suspected."

Gongsun Wu nodded to Qing Yi and said, "Yes, my mother also suspected that it was the uncles who murdered my grandfather, otherwise they would not have been so well prepared.

Even the four powerful ministers under their command were attacked and killed by them before they could react. If we want to avenge our grandfather, we can’t do without them.”

Kui Wendou did not dare to respond to Gongsun Wu's words, and continued to speak honestly: "During the rebellion of the Five Princes, the capital was still safe at first, but someone deliberately led the public opinion to say that we killed the Duke of Wei.

At that time, we saw that the situation was not good and quickly fled from Wei capital, preparing to flee back to the western wilderness to seek the protection of Xi Guohou, who was also a royal prince of the Da Shen Dynasty and guarded the hometown where the Da Shen Dynasty started.

But the heirs of the crown prince and the Shen Ce army who were chasing us were afraid that we would flee back to the Western Wilds, so they tried their best to intercept and kill us. We had no choice but to be forced into the Northern Wilds. "

"Wait a moment!"

Qing Yi suddenly interrupted Kui Wendou again, and looked him up and down with suspicion, "Tell me the truth, what is the threshold for joining the Emperor's Divine Strategy Army?"

"Uh?"

Kui Wendou was a little puzzled by Qing Yi's question, and after thinking for a while, he replied seriously, "The Shen Ce Army has been the emperor's personal army since the establishment of the Great Shen Dynasty, and one must be at least a fifth-grade warrior to join the Shen Ce Army.

The squad leader is at the fourth-grade martial arts master level, the team leader is at the third-grade combat master level, the captain is at the second-grade sergeant level, and the three captains are all first-grade grandmasters, who directly obey the emperor. "

"The Shen Ce Army is so powerful that they can kill you with just a team. How could they tolerate you roaming around?" Qing Yi increasingly suspected that the puppeteer was not telling the truth.

Kui Wendou smiled bitterly and explained: "My Lord, you don't know that we are immersed in research all day long, and our strength is indeed too low. In the past, everyone was at most the strength of a sixth-rank upper-armor soldier.

However, it is precisely because of the decline of the emperor's authority in the past hundred years and the rampant worship of evil gods and ghosts in various countries in Zhongzhou that the Shen Ce Army often encounters secret obstruction and attacks when hunting us.

There were even many times when the evil gods and ghosts came in person, causing heavy losses to the Shen Ce Army and the crown prince's retainers who were chasing us, giving us a chance to escape."

"So that's what's going on!" Qing Yi saw that Kui Wendou's face was sincere, and after thinking about it, he decided to temporarily believe the other party's explanation.

Kui Wendou heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "We have gone through untold hardships to escape to the Northern Wasteland, but with the lesson of the Wei Kingdom before us, no one in the Northern Wasteland dared to take us in.

We originally thought that the ambitious Northern Wilderness lord Bo Chonghou might choose to shelter us, but who knew that he actually wanted to capture all of us and exchange us for rewards with the crown prince of Diqiu.

For a whole year we wandered in the wilderness of the Northern Wasteland, relying on the little medical skills we learned in Emperor Hill and begging for food from the people of the wilderness, and also using these means to save our lives. "

At this point, Kui Wendou's expression was somewhat ferocious as he said, "We lived worse than pigs and dogs that year, and we couldn't stand it and almost chose to commit suicide, but we were unwilling to give up!
The enemy who slaughtered our family members is still waiting in Diqiu to become the next emperor, but we will die silently in the wilderness, leaving our bodies to be eaten by wolves, tigers and leopards, and our bones scattered to be exposed to the wind and sun.

Twenty years ago, we heard some legends from the wilderness folk that the Ghost Witch Tribe had unearthed a large number of broken skeletons of giant beasts, and the higher the grade of the bones, the greater the power of the war puppets.

So we all wiped away our tears and took the initiative to go to the northern border of Xing State to find the Ghost Witch Tribe. We would not hesitate to cooperate with them who worship ghosts and evil things in order to seek revenge. "
