I am the Dragon King of the Well

Chapter 421: Spit before leaving (two chapters in one)

Although the imperial navy increased their speed, the water bandits of the [Bitian Alliance] were secretly assisted by Qiu Ping, and they continued to wander southward with the wind and the current.

In just a few days, they reached Yunzhou in the south along the Xun River.

Along the way, their momentum became more and more grand.

And the more this happened, the more urgent the imperial court urged the navy to suppress the bandits. If the trouble continued like this, the imperial court's control over water transportation would completely collapse.

"Go and ask Qianjiang Jiao's group... if they still have something to eat."

During these days of wandering on the water, the young man had long lost his handsome appearance. Not only was his beard unkempt, but his eyes were also sunken, making him look like a refugee.

"It's gone a long time ago, and they are still resenting us now."

The strong man was no longer strong at this moment, and he looked like a skinny man from hunger.

He looked back at Qianjiang Jiao's ship and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm going to fuck your whole family. You guys are worth a thousand bucks. You have to drag us into this. I'm the eighth generation of your ancestors!"

Faintly, one can hear the angry curses of the people in Qianjiang Jiao.

They are called unjust.

I thought I could rely on a good background, but I didn't expect that this group of people turned out to be Clay Bodhisattva.

They followed the [Tiantian League], but found that they could not get ashore. As the dry food they carried ran out, they could only eat raw grains every day.

Who knows which deity these people offended, and they encountered such a strange thing.

Hearing the harsher words that followed, the young man's face became more and more gloomy. He wanted to step forward and tear the mouths of this group of people apart.

But now, everyone's emotions are on the verge of collapse.

No matter whether he used gold, silver or painted cakes, he could not mobilize the morale of the people.

He didn't dare to break out at this time, lest he cause internal strife among his own people.

"Is it true that God wants to kill me?"

His eyes were a little straight when he looked into the distance, where the water was flowing, but he felt a little disgusted when he saw the river water.

If he was given a choice, he would rather go ashore and never touch the water again.

"What's the place in front of?"

As they continued to go south, the surrounding scenery was completely different from that in the north. There were lush vegetation all around, but they saw a large dock not far ahead.

About thirty to fifty large ships were moored nearby, and countless coolie trackers were busy.

Not far from the shore, there is a government office with quite large regulations.

"This is the Governor's Water Transport Department. Let's go down the river and reach the end of Xunshui."

Not many of the water bandits were literate, and only the young master recognized the name hanging on the government office.

Seeing this yamen, his face was full of sadness and joy. If they go further, are they going to enter Lingjiang in Yunzhou?
When will this day end?

"The water bandits are coming, run!"

This is the starting point of the Xunshui water transport, and it is also the place where several waterways converge. The water transport of several states in the south finally converge here, and then go north along the Cao River and go straight to the Imperial Capital.

Everyone here was unloading and loading goods when they saw a large bamboo raft coming from the north. Combined with recent rumors, they immediately panicked.

They also did not expect that this group of water bandits active in Qingzhou would come to the south so quickly.

Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the inspectors in the Governor's Water Transport Yamen did not dare to step forward. They were just on guard. Once the enemy came ashore, they would... run away quickly.

After all, the Caoyun Yamen does not have an army. It only has a few hundred people in total, and it has few weapons and armor. It is hard to risk your life against so many water bandits.

"Boom."

Just as everyone was running away wantonly, suddenly, a thunder sounded out of thin air and exploded directly in the middle of the [For the Sky Alliance] fleet.

The water bandits' bodies felt numb and stiff, unable to move, and they were loaded into the river one after another.

The movement here not only frightened the water bandits of the [Tiantian Alliance] half to death, but also the people on the shore were stunned.

This is so good, why is it still being struck by lightning?

But they quickly realized that such a strange scene must not be what human beings call it, but must be the appearance of gods.

"boom."

One after another, the thunder fell, blowing up all the water bandits, and in the blink of an eye, the water floated.

Qiu Ping hid in the dark, holding a ball of thunder in his hand, and threw it casually.

"Boom."

This ball of thunder exploded on the bamboo raft at the feet of the young master. The young master immediately became unstable and staggered into the water.

These thunderbolts are some magical powers controlled by Qiu Ping's part-time job in the Thunder Department. They are some magical powers controlled by the ninth-grade [Switching Lightning and Rushing to the Clouds as Officials]. Their power is very weak. In non-thunderstorm weather, these thunderbolts cannot even kill slightly stronger mortals. , can only knock people over.

But at this moment, it is just right to fill the cup. His two magical powers of time and space are as strong as they are strong, but his movements are silent and mysterious, and ordinary people cannot understand the mystery.

Soon, the two groups of water bandits [Bi Tianmeng] and [Qianjiang Jiao] were all paralyzed and fell into the water.

As countless people were present to witness it, Qiu Ping's feeling of being suppressed by the accumulated resentment in the past few days was instantly wiped away, and many people felt grateful and recognized in their hearts.

All these turned into fuel for the divine fire, causing the divine fire to rise into the sky in an instant, directly burning away all the resentment.

If there is a person with great supernatural powers here, he will be able to find that the invisible divine fire burning around him is a hundred feet high and as bright as a bright flame. It has turned from orange at the beginning to blazing white, and along with the resentment that is suppressing it. Burned back.

He made a big vow a few days ago to protect the Thirteenth Canal River.

Due to the ineffective suppression of bandits by the imperial court, countless people have prayed to him in the past few days, hoping that he can protect Caohe.

Now that Qiu Ping took action, all these thoughts of gratitude were absorbed by him, further intensifying the burning of the divine fire.

With such a powerful divine fire, Qiu Ping felt that even if he attacked the government office, he could use the divine fire to block the resentment.

Of course, he is not that stupid and will not do such head-on things.

"Hahaha, it's not in vain that I have taken care of you diligently these days."

Qiu Ping held it in for a long time just to wait for this moment.

Others were worried that if they spread their faith widely, they might lose their mind, but he was not afraid. No matter how many positive wishes he had, they were just fuel for the divine fire.

After the fish fry was over, he reached out and grabbed the young man in his hand, and imprisoned him directly in a piece of space.

His second goal on this trip was to capture the reincarnation of [Lian Zhenxing], but he didn't bother to care about the lives of others.

These water bandits turned into bandits, and none of them were clean. Even if they drowned, they would have to go through another trial in the underworld. …

Qiu Ping returned to Xunshui Tongzhi Yamen. He sealed the reincarnation of [Lian Zhenxing] behind a orb, and then ordered people to send it to Huang Yamen in the capital of the imperial capital.

Now he plans to strike while the iron is hot, let the divine fire burn further, and wipe away the accumulated resentment, without leaving any time to report to King Minngling.

"Hula."

The invisible divine fire increased several times at this moment, reaching nearly [-] feet, and burned along the air of resentment that filled the sky.

Because Qiu Ping is now showing off his holiness wantonly and secretly casting spells to control human affairs, Caohe system has been thrown into chaos.

Feeling the terrifying resentment from the outside world, the gods wanted to shrink their heads into their bodies, let alone go out.

They also didn't expect that the newly appointed He Bo would dare to play such a big role. Even if the Imperial Capital is defeated, it may be difficult to clean up the situation.

But just as they were complaining secretly, an invisible and dangerous flame passed directly through the void.

When encountering this flame, those grievances were quickly burned away like catkins in spring.

But the flames seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and they branched out to cover the thirteen cao rivers. Those grievances that the gods should have tried their best to relieve could not hold a breath in front of this flame.

"What kind of power is this? Is it so terrifying?"

The gods under the direct control of the Imperial Capital all have magical powers to dispel resentment, but in front of this divine fire, their level is like the light of a firefly.

And as Qiu Ping's divine fire grew stronger and stronger, a black orb flew out from the top of his head. In the dark, it seemed to be combined with this divine fire?
Qiu Ping was shocked. This divine fire represented the spark of the collision of faith and will, and this orb was his divine authority. The combination of the two...

Isn't it similar to the blending of divine personality and divine fire, which is the way to become a god in that world?

Is it possible that the two will merge into one place and evolve into the Kingdom of God?
If this is the case, although the power of this divine kingdom is more powerful, the connection with the god himself will be more fragile.

Don't you see, the authority of the gods in that world is just a joke. Today, if you snatch his godhead, you can openly claim to be a certain god.Tomorrow you destroy my Kingdom of God, and you also have my authority.

Qiu Ping hesitated in his heart, but soon relaxed and allowed the two to blend.

Anyway, the source of his strength is the two paths of time and space, and he doesn't care about the authority of Bashui Hebo at all.

On the contrary, the connection with oneself has become weaker... Isn't that a good thing? The pressure from heaven has also become less.

In this way, this Shinto authority is like an external tool that everyone can use.

I just don’t know if King Mingling will cause trouble for me later?

But Qiu Ping didn't bother to think about it anymore. The worst possible outcome was to be dismissed from his post. I was too lazy to do such a dirty job.

As Little Loach's strength grew, he no longer valued Shinto official positions so much.

The divine fire instantly flew into the orb that symbolized the authority of Bashui Hebo. Once the flame burned, all the authority melted, but an almost void space appeared inside.

In the blink of an eye, a shadow of a river appeared in the space. The end of the river was connected to thirteen branches of the Cao River.

It is as if the great rivers in the dynasty were reduced and placed here.

The divine fire suddenly condensed and turned into a faint point of light, suspended inside the orb, like a small sun, shining in all directions, but suddenly the space was filled with agility.

"It does have some meaning to the Kingdom of God. The evolving space inside can filter the chaotic atmosphere from the outside world. However, it cannot absorb believers like the Kingdom of God and turn believers into petitioners to live here forever."

Qiu Ping reached out and grabbed it, and the orb fell into his hands.

This is normal. This orb was not refined by him alone. It is essentially part of the entire Shinto system.

If he can accommodate believers, then he is equivalent to an uncontrolled Shinto warlord, and the entire Shinto system will not tolerate it.

As for the divine fire in the orb, although it seems to have become very small, in fact, the space inside the orb is comparable to a city. The divine fire is still hundreds of feet high, and with the help of the orb's space, the divine fire is completely stabilized.

The size of the flame will not be reduced due to the reduction of external willpower.

Any resentment rising from the outside world will be burned by the divine fire in the orb.Under the power of the divine fire, any resentment generated by facing the court will be gone.

"Very good, now let me see who else in the entire water transport system dares to argue with me."

Qiu Ping slapped the orb upward, and it sank into his body.

He was also in a good mood, and the resentment of the entire water transport could no longer affect him, just like the Sword of Damocles hanging above him.

Without these constraints, he can freely act, and his ability to interfere in human affairs is greatly increased.

"Then we have to make arrangements for the court to take action."

Qiu Ping almost destroyed Xunhe's banknote system with the help of water bandits, but this was not his purpose.

This bank check will still have to be built in the future, otherwise the court will not be able to collect taxes, and the Cao River will be silted up in the future. It cannot be left to the gods to clean it up.

Moreover, the tariffs on water transportation were an important part of the imperial government's finances. Without these revenues, if the imperial court fell into disgrace and war broke out everywhere, he would be blamed for the cause and effect behind this.

What he wants is to show his power and let the court know that he has the ability to interfere with the world without being harmed.

In this way, a mechanism for gods to supervise the court can be established.

The gods do not need human money and have no interest disputes with the court. Instead, they help the court supervise water transportation, which can effectively avoid official corruption, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of water transportation and producing positive benefits.

This is a win-win situation for both the gods and the court.

If we want to say who suffers, it is naturally the local gangsters in various banknotes and the big businessmen who collude with the government and businessmen behind the scenes.

The former cannot use banknotes to make money, while the latter cannot use banknotes to choke competitors and use illegal means to suppress their opponents.

But Qiu Ping still wanted these people to die.

These people collude with government and businessmen and expand their power, which will greatly squeeze the living space of ordinary people and middle- and low-level merchants.

As for who to cooperate with, he had no other choice. In the court, there was only Jing Xinghuai.

Although Jing Xinghuai disappointed Qiu Ping last time, in general, this person is determined to reform and is consistent with his own interests.

After figuring out this joint, he flicked his sleeves, rolled up the wind and waves, and walked along Xunshui towards Bashui.

On the way, he also met the imperial navy.

It's just that the speed of this team is too slow, and the gang of water bandits have been dealt with by themselves, and they are still wandering around the border of Qingzhou.

"Haha."

Qiu Ping spat disdainfully, what a bunch of losers.

He was in charge of water transportation, and even a casual spit would cause a commotion.

The imperial navy was already making difficult progress, but was suddenly hit by a wave. The fleet was swaying in place, and many people fell onto the deck without checking.

Qiu Ping was far away, and he could hear the incompetent and furious yelling on the boat.
