The Emperor is Above

Chapter 464: Pessimistic Trend
Old Man Shi left but left Xing Shu and Niuniu in the burial mound of Longcheng.

In addition to deepening his friendship with Qing Yi, he also didn't want them to see the tragedy happening in the capital.

Nowadays, there are large stone pillars and four dragon claw locust tree spirits in the mound of Longcheng, all of which are of the first grade. It is the safest place after the old man Shi. The military force here is enough to protect the safety of the two.

I thought Niu Niu and Xing Shu would have some difficulty adapting to such an unfamiliar environment, but unexpectedly, they both felt like fish in water.

The civet cat, the little fox and Niu Niu have known each other for a long time. The two little rascals still remember the various delicacies that the little rich Niu Niu carried with her.

So, led by them, the mountain cat Dabao and the little flying bear also came over, and every day they took Niu Niu and Xing Shu to ride on the green cow, white horse, gray bear and black tiger to have fun everywhere.

In just a few days, these exotic animal totems were filled with fear, but with the mountain cat Dabao and the little flying bear around, they had no choice but to serve as mounts obediently.

Except for the tiankeng that sealed the magic soldiers and magic hands, their traces can be found almost everywhere around the entire Dragon City mound. It is considered a compliment to see chaos wherever they go.

The giant gorillas were arranged by the lord to a canyon fortress seventy or eighty miles away. Occasionally, they would sneak over to flatter the lord to prevent him from forgetting them.

The rebel giant ape once came to the Dragon City Fortress. Seeing the tragic fate of the alien beast totems, his eyes rolled around and he decided not to come for a short time.

The Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures either go out early and come back late every day, or simply hide on cliffs hundreds of feet high to sleep. At any rate, out of sight, out of mind.

After playing like this for an unknown amount of time, Xing Shuniuniu passed by a valley in the southwest and happened to meet Zhu Zhiwu, Liu Xu, Mengzi, and Shitou practicing war puppets. The two girls couldn't take their eyes off them.

The crazy girl suddenly became quiet, which made the exotic beast totems puzzled and relieved at the same time. Fortunately, the two little girls' interests have shifted. If this continues, they will have to consider whether to retire.

Zhu Zhiwu, Mengzi and Shitou knew Xing Shu and Niuniu respectively, but they didn't know how to deal with the two, let alone how to refuse the two girls.

However, Liu Xu was very good at this kind of thing. She persuaded him with earnest words that in order to drive a war puppet, one must be proficient in controlling the beast tusk puppet soldiers and human puppets, and must also be proficient in rune formations.

Soon, two energetic girls appeared in the puppet show troupe of Longcheng Fengtu, and two new transfer students appeared in the school.

I thought the two new members of the school would be well behaved for a while after they separated, but unexpectedly, Niu Niu and Xing Shu had been riding their own exotic beasts before, which had already made the children and teenagers in the school envious and admired.

Just a few days after entering the school, he had a group of followers. His social skills really impressed Qing Yi.

Everything is going very smoothly in the Dragon City. War puppets continue to be produced and improved with the efforts of the imperial students and puppeteers. There are already more than 500 armored vehicles, and the number is still increasing every day.

Tun Shigu is almost the hardest-working one among all the people. He is busy shuttling between war puppets, armored vehicles, weapons workshops, and armor workshops every day.

She originally had a round body like a ball, but in just a few months she became so thin that her own son Tun Kejin couldn't recognize her, causing a lot of jokes.

Compared with the good news within the Dragon City, there is a lot of bad news coming from outside.

First, the wild folk scouts and dragon bird scouts sent by Shi Ling brought a lot of information north of Yunling.

The 150,000-strong army led by King Xian Yu was slowly moving southwards. Following the army were as many as 500,000 troops, plus millions of livestock, which were simply overwhelming.

Wherever the army, tribes, and livestock passed, white sand covered the ground and no grass was left, directly creating a desert belt nearly 100 miles wide. The Yuezhi people persuaded the foreign coalition to choose Dai State in the east of Yunling as their target. Although King Xianyu was extremely dissatisfied with this, he still managed to get a team of 800 giants to fight together.

Of course, what Shi Ling and Qing Hua think is bad news, some people in Qing Yi think is good news.

Yunling's act of sending out a large number of scouts to gather intelligence successfully irritated the nerves of Xianyu King Mo Yan. In addition, Xianyu's national master disappeared in Yunling, so he concluded that Yunling must have formed an alliance with Xing State.

Due to such speculation and concern, King Xianyu had to slow down the pace of advancing toward the border town, continue to recruit elite troops from various Xianyu tribes, and also allocated nearly half of his troops to defend against possible attacks from Yunling.

This action made Shi Ling and Qing Hua believe that the Xian Yu tribe was indeed preparing to attack Yun Ling, so they prepared for war more actively and moved closer to Qing Yi.

News of the dramatic changes in the capital south of Yunling soon spread. Qianye Weng fled to Chongguo, and his disciples either fled Xingguo or announced that they would sever ties with him.

The opposition groups headed by the Zhonghang, Qi, and Chunyu clans were almost completely wiped out under the iron-fisted suppression of the new monarch Xing Zhongkang, and thousands of people were beheaded outside the east gate of the lower city of the capital.

Mr. Shi, who had never been involved in state affairs, suddenly supported the new monarch and killed him, which shocked all those with evil intentions and also established new majesty for the new monarch Xing Zhongkang.

The lives of the two brothers Xing Boyun and Xing Shuan were not in danger. Xing Zhongkang and Old Man Shi had no intention of killing them. They just wanted to get rid of their supporters.

However, such a large-scale killing, with thousands of heads falling to the ground, frightened Xing Boyun and Xing Shuan, who had a guilty conscience, and they fell ill in bed.

Qing Yi only read the news from the capital once and threw it aside. He was now more concerned about the attitudes of the countries in the Northern Wilderness, the Emperor of the Great Shen Dynasty, and the countries in Zhongzhou.

According to historical records, the system of the emperor and princes in the Dashen Dynasty was a strict whole. The princes from all directions resisted foreign invasion, and the emperor summoned the princes from the Central Plains to support the surrounding countries.

However, in the 861st year of the Great Shen Dynasty, the emperor of Diqiu's authority over the various princes has been declining due to several power struggles.

The princes of the various countries in Zhongzhou were even more indulged in a rich and superior life. In addition, the worship of evil gods and ghosts was rampant in many vassal states, and they were completely unwilling to pay attention to the war in the Northern Wilderness.

Anyway, the war is happening in the Northern Wilderness countries tens of thousands of miles away. What does the war over there have to do with us in Zhongzhou? It is more important to indulge in pleasure.

There are even a few monarchs who were famous for their luxury and debauchery, publicly claiming that it is a great fortune to live a life of luxury and dissipation nowadays, so who cares about the flood after I die?
Under such circumstances, even though the new emperor of the Great Shen Dynasty had not yet given a clear response, all the countries in the Northern Wilderness were already shrouded in an atmosphere of depression and pessimism.

Even the mood within Xing State was very low. Old Man Shi's strong support for Xing Zhongkang's iron-blooded suppression and integration of all forces in the country could not make the overall situation better.

"Alas, the troubled times have really arrived!"

Qing Yi had a complicated expression. Even though he had expected this day to come, he did not expect it to come so early, and to make him feel so helpless and caught off guard.

How great would it be if we could have three to five years? Even with the help of the war puppet army, we could sweep away the million-strong coalition forces of Xianyu, Yuezhi, and other ethnic groups.

When Qing Yi was feeling regretful, he heard Wang Mang Qubing's voice: "Brother Qing Yi, it's not good. Yangwu City sent a letter asking for help. The Ghost Witch Tribe has made unusual moves again."

Oh, I just realized that today is Children's Day. I guess not many readers of this book need to celebrate the holiday! Of course, who was not a baby once? So I still wish all readers a happy holiday!
