Chapter 761 Killing Dogs to Train Soldiers
"Sister Haitang! What do you think about me getting a dog?"
The fairy standing on the dragon's head looked at Ling Xuzi's smooth and shiny wolf hair, turned around and asked with some excitement.
"Alas!?"
Ling Xuzi exclaimed in surprise and looked carefully, then he noticed that there were four women standing at the neck of the red dragon!
The four women were wearing different colored rosy robes, but they were all stunningly beautiful, as beautiful as fairies, each with their own characteristics. Two of them had swords on their waists! Their two pairs of beautiful eyes stared at him intently.
That look that was like looking at a dead person made Ling Xuzi extremely uncomfortable!
"You girls are so unreasonable. I asked you a question, why didn't you answer? You are the sea creatures of the Four Seas."
The fairy in pink came to the side of the fairy in red with a smile on her face and glanced at Ling Xuzi with a cold look:
"Princess, this wolf demon is entangled with blood and evil spirits. It is obviously a person who has done many evil things. Its fur color is also not pure. I will find you a big dog with pure fur color later!"
This pink-dressed fairy holds a green silk fan in her hand, with a smile on her face. There are several colorful butterflies embroidered on her body, flapping their wings and ready to fly, looking very vivid.
Her hair is tied up and pinned with a golden hairpin, which makes people feel refreshed, as if lying on a stone slab under a pine tree, listening to the flow of a quiet spring, with all worldly thoughts gone and the mind clear.
But what the fairy said made Ling Xuzi furious: "Bitch! I am the Iron-backed Wolf!"
These five women were none other than Danxia, Haitang, Shaoyao and the other five female attendants. The master accepted the invitation and went to Guanghan Palace for the banquet.
Fairy Haitang was afraid that Princess Danxia would be led astray by those noisy black-feathered starlings, so she accompanied her to this world to relax.
Danxia heard the noise and insisted on coming over to watch the fun.
With the help of various elixirs from Tang and Song dynasties, Danxia had already condensed her primordial spirit infant and became a celestial immortal. She was also protected by Haitang, Shaoyao and the other four.
She also has the magic weapon bestowed by Tang and Song, so she is unlikely to encounter any danger in this world.
(Yanfu cultivated and reached the immortal level. The most significant change was that his soul was refined into a pure yang baby, which could travel thousands of miles in an instant and even abandon its physical body.
The mortal world calls this realm Pure Yang True Immortal, but in the past, those immortals who ascended to heaven also called this realm Celestial Immortal in order to show the difference between themselves and the immortals in the lower world!
Even though the Heavenly Palace has disappeared for millions of years, this title has been passed down by the immortals in the heavenly realm.
If an immortal from the mortal world comes to the heavenly realm, he will be recognized as soon as he opens his mouth. This is the reason!
When Fairy Haitang heard Ling Xuzi's foul language and looked at his appearance, she thought of the lame old dog and her sisters who had died tragically, and said bitterly:
"Princess, this wolf demon is entangled in blood and has committed countless murders. It is better to skin this evil wolf, nitrate it, and send it to the Tang Emperor as a gift!"
"Well, if such a big wolf skin is made into a mattress, my father will probably like it!" Danxia waved a half-opened lotus in her hand, and her eyes noticed the sadness in Fairy Haitang's eyes!
"Okay, okay, you little slaves, do you really think I'm a piece of meat on the chopping board? You little girl, you are the daughter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Just use you as a hostage to force the Emperor to withdraw his troops!"
Ling Xuzi sneered repeatedly and shouted loudly. The huge demonic energy in his body burst out, and an evil wind blew up, blowing the yellow sand into a whirlwind. The sand dunes on the ground surged and covered the sky like an overwhelming force!
"This wolf demon is quite capable!"
As Fairy Haitang said this, she flicked her long sleeves and Ling Xuzi was caught in a beam of colorful light, unable to move!
"Fairy, please spare my life!" Before Ling Xuzi could finish his words, a demon-subduing spell seal like a petal fell on his forehead, instantly dissipating his soul.
Logically speaking, Ling Xuzi is no ordinary person as he has practiced for thousands of years. His primordial spirit is about to be condensed into that of an infant. However, Fairy Haitang has practiced in the Taixu Illusionary Realm for more than tens of thousands of years. Her magical powers are so strong that even Master Menghu would flee when he sees her.
Moreover, over the past decade or so, she had learned from the eldest master the art of killing, which made up for her weakness in fighting.
So, in front of Fairy Haitang, Ling Xuzi's protective magic light was shattered with just one move. He didn't even have time to scream, and his soul was shattered.
Fairy Haitang waved her hand, and a rosy glow swept across, and all of Ling Xuzi's flesh, bones and blood evaporated, leaving only a huge wolf skin.
Chang'an City is very lively these days.
Ever since the construction of the first post road began, the city gate has been surrounded by crowds of people watching the fun.
The bustling crowd of people who came to watch the excitement blocked the east gate of Chang'an City tightly. The city patrol troops dispatched a large number of people to barely open a path through the crowd so that the people could make room for the caravan entering the city.
"Hot pancakes, hot pancakes!"
"Wontons, big bowl of wontons!"
"Tanghulu, big sister, please string some Tanghulu for the children!"
People were crowded together, and among the crowd watching the excitement, from time to time there were some clever vendors carrying baskets and selling some food, and they were like loaches, squirming in the crowd.
It caused a lot of shouting and cursing from time to time.
The bad guys in Chang'an City were also squeezing in the crowd, kicking out familiar faces from time to time. The thieves who were kicked were not angry, but patted their buttocks and stood on the side of the road. When they saw that no one was paying attention, they slipped back in.
What made the people of Chang'an excited was certainly not the election of the most beautiful girls. After all, they were under the feet of the emperor, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were confident that they had seen the world. If it were just a group of girls, they would not be guarding the city gate at four o'clock in the morning.
They came to see the monster.
Yes, monster!
The entire construction site was almost a place of chaos. Thousands of monsters, working together with tens of thousands of prisoners transferred from various places, were building the post road from Chang'an to Suiye.
According to the drawings of the Ministry of Works, the entire post road was to be paved with gravel and eight meters wide in both directions. It would run from Chang'an all the way to the city of Suiye in the Western Regions, a distance of more than a thousand miles.
The Demon-Suppressing Division used imprisonment spells on the captured demons and forced them to work at the construction site.
Criminals from various local governments were also escorted to Chang'an.
Both sides of the construction site were filled with armored soldiers who were over three meters tall and looked like sculptures. Each of them held a six-barreled Gatling gun, with cold eyes directed at the construction site.
The dusty road construction site.
A black bear, which was three meters tall, carried a sledgehammer as big as a water tank and hammered the road surface with it. Every time the hammer hit the road, the earth shook.
A group of monkey demons, with bared teeth, took the bamboo basket tied with vines from the waist and back of the calf-sized black wolf and dumped the gravel onto the compacted ground.
Not only the black wolves, but also the wild boars weighing five or six hundred kilograms and the spotted tigers with a shoulder height of two meters, were either busy carrying gravel or compacting the ground.
Such a grand scene stunned not only the people of Chang'an City but also the traveling merchant caravans.
"My dear father-in-law, are these all demons?"
A swordsman wearing a conical hat watched the crowd for a while. When he saw a wild boar as big as a hill digging its four hooves and dragging a huge iron ball across the roadbed, the iron ball crushed the gravel into pieces under the pull of an iron chain as thick as a bowl, the big man couldn't help but swallow his saliva subconsciously.
An old man standing next to him looked at him with disdain.
The meaning in his eyes was very clear. He was a boy who had never seen the world and looked very surprised.
"Don't worry, young man. These demons can't hurt anyone. Did you see those people? They are all officials from the Demon Subduing Division. With them keeping the demons under control, they can only do their job obediently!"
The big man looked in the direction the old man pointed, and saw a dozen patrolling demon-suppressing guards, all of whom were staring closely at the demons working on the construction site to prevent them from suddenly attacking and hurting people.
"Father, who are those people?"
The big man looked at the armored guard holding a six-barreled Gatling gun in front of the crowd. He was a little dazed by his ten-foot-tall figure.
With this height and body shape, he doesn't look like a human at all.
"These people are all heavenly soldiers and generals borrowed from the heaven by your majesty’s magic—"
The old man looked at the armored guards with awe in his eyes. In his opinion, the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister and the soldiers in heaven were also gods.
Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!
A trace of doubt flashed across the big man's sallow face. He was a well-known swordsman in the northwest, and this time he came to Chang'an to find a job.
It is said that Chang'an is prosperous, but this is too magical!
"hold head high!"
Suddenly, a dragon roar shook the heaven and earth. The big man raised his head and saw a red dragon flying in the clouds.
Li Shimin, the great Tang Emperor, wearing black iron armor and holding the sword of Heaven, stood on the wall of Xuanwu Gate and watched the huge steel warships passing by in the sky.
As a top military strategist and General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had fought throughout his life and was knowledgeable and experienced. He had even seen Buddha.
But this warship, which was larger than the entire Chang'an City, really left him dumbfounded.
When he encountered the assassination attempt by the Buddhists, he had also seen such flying armored warships, but those armored warships were not even one thousandth the size of these warships.
"Yuchi! Where do you think these warships are going to fly to? Is the highest place the heaven?"
Li Shimin looked far into the distance, following the traces left by the Nantianmen warships, and looked into the void. "I don't know!"
Behind Li Shimin, a strong man like an iron tower replied in a muffled voice:
"If Your Majesty wants to know, I will summon the City God of Chang'an and ask him about it!"
"No need! Uncle Tang said that the Heaven Court is not in this world. This world is just a small world under the rule of the Heaven Court!" Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he waved his hand: "What do you think of the world being in my hands now?"
"Of course the sea is peaceful and the rivers are prosperous. No emperor in history is wiser than Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji said with a smile!
No one objected to his compliment.
He unified the troubled times, opened the imperial examination to recruit scholars, distributed the tax rate according to the land area, required officials and gentry to pay taxes together, encouraged commerce, reformed the military system, established the Demon-Suppressing Bureau, spread military power throughout the country, and issued orders to kill demons.
These national policies have changed dynasties throughout history, and each one has shaken the foundation of the country. It is not that the national policies are flawed, but that these national policies have affected the interests of too many people.
Take the example of the tax paid by officials and gentry together. How could the noble families, officials and gentry pay taxes together with the peasants?
Anyone who dares to ask officials to pay taxes would be going against all the gentry and officials in the world. Even the emperor would not dare to issue this policy easily.
But now, Your Majesty only needs to issue an imperial decree, and no one in the court, including the civil and military officials, from the five surnames and seven families, has objected.
"Hahahaha—" Li Shimin stroked his beard and laughed. Looking at the prosperous Chang'an, he felt quite ambitious.
"Wuji, where is the pharmacist's army now?" Li Shimin's eyes fell on Changsun Wuji.
Zhang Sun Wuji said in a deep voice: "The battle report was sent this morning, and the Western Expedition Army has already occupied half of the territory of the Arab Empire!"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, the marching speed is very fast. I am still confident in the military ability of the pharmacist!
Tell the pharmacist that since the Arab country dared to send the demon king to enter, then let them pay the price, destroy their clan and temple, and those who dare to resist will be exiled!"
"Yes!" Changsun Wuji accepted the order.
"Your Majesty! This is considered fast. With the magical weapons bestowed by the Emperor of Heaven, let alone conquering the Arabs and the Turks, you give me an order and give me five years, and I will take over the entire planet for you!" Cheng Yaojin said unconvinced!
Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yaojin and said, "What do you know? I am training my troops for ten years. In these ten years, I will use the military tactics given by Uncle Tang to train a strong army!"
"Train a strong army? Now that all nations are paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty, what is Your Majesty planning to do by training a strong army? Could it be!" Yuchi Jingde hesitated and looked at the sky.
It's not that he was overthinking it, after all, His Majesty had a criminal record.
boom!
Li Shimin kicked Yuchi Jingde to the ground and said, "What are you thinking, you idiot? I am training this strong army to conquer the rebels for Uncle Tang."
Li Shimin took the sword and beat Yuchi Jingde hard, but Yuchi Jingde had thick skin and flesh, and he had already practiced the secret military skills and achieved the state of Yuanshen. He did not dodge and let Li Shimin beat him.
"Your Majesty, do you want to live forever?" Changsun Wuji waited until Li Shimin was tired and stopped beating him before speaking!
Li Shimin adjusted his armor and glared at Yuchi Jingde angrily:
"Eternal life is now within my reach!
Uncle Tang once promised me a world, but that world needs me to conquer it myself. If I don’t train my troops now, will you rely on a few old onions to conquer it when the time comes? Hmm! "
"It's not impossible..." Yuchi Jingde muttered softly.
When Li Shimin heard this, he kicked him hard on the butt and sent him flying. While Cheng Yaojin was laughing, Yuchi Jingde bumped into Fang Xuanling who had hurried over.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he saw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng behind him:
"Prime Minister Fang, Lord Du, Lord Wei, why are the three of you gathered together? No one comes here for no reason. You must have encountered difficulties!"
Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's about the matter of conferring the gods. A few days ago, Your Majesty proposed in the court meeting to cut down mountains and destroy temples, and to pardon all the city gods and earth gods in the world!
We consulted the history books, selected the heroes of the past dynasties, and decided on the matter of deifying, but..."
Li Shimin's eyes turned cold: "Just what?"
"The five surnames and seven clans, all the officials in the imperial court want to add an entry for their ancestors in the Book of Gods!"
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is of great importance and can only be decided by Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin sneered: "What a great family of five surnames and seven families, a thousand-year-old family!
They actually want to interfere with Shinto, what right do they have, huh! ? "
As soon as Li Shimin got angry, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin all fell silent and dared not say a word.
Li Shimin looked down at the city with a cold face, his voice as cold as his face: "Five surnames and seven families, aristocratic families, no wonder they were so successful in everything before, it turns out they were waiting for me here,
They have been high and mighty over this land for too long.
It has been so long that they think they are the masters of this land. I don’t have time to play power games with them now!
Wuji, have the Demon Subduing Division keep a close eye on the powerful families headed by the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Also, come back and get my handprint, and have the City Gods of various places exercise their power of supervision and investigate all illegal activities.
Tell the Dali Temple to clear the prison and get ready!"
"Your Majesty, are you too anxious?"
Wei Zheng could not help but advise: "The Five Surnames and Seven Families have existed since the Han Dynasty. Even if Your Majesty wants to weaken their power, you should do it slowly and not rush into it.
Your Majesty, please do not forget the lessons of the previous dynasties. When the First Emperor built the Great Wall and the Afang Palace, Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal. They were a waste of money and manpower, and ended up dying in the second generation!"
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Mr. Wei, how do you think our Tang Dynasty compares to the Qin and Han dynasties?
My cousin built a canal, which damaged the country's strength and led to the death of his second emperor. I can build a hundred canals like this at the same time!"
Wei Zheng was speechless. He had seen the court proposal submitted by the Ministry of Works.
Not counting the nine rivers that needed to be dredged, there were 27 roads that needed to be repaired.
The longest one is from Chang'an to the Western Regions, and the amount of work involved is even greater than that of the Great Wall.
But this did not affect the national strength of the Tang Dynasty in the slightest. The demons captured by the Demon Subduing Division,
The frontline soldiers conquered the Western Regions and the Turks brought back captives in a steady stream.
These projects did not require any labor from the people of the Tang Dynasty. As for food, the Tang Dynasty now had three harvests of grain a year. Under the auspicious signs of the Emperor of Heaven, the Tang Dynasty had become a paradise on earth.
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng with a half-smile:
"The matter of conferring the gods is not something I can decide on alone. It requires the selection of the immortal officials of the heavenly court, the underworld, and the three halls before it can be reported to Emperor Ziwei!"
"Prime Minister Fang, Lord Du, Lord Wei, you three are responsible for this matter. There is no need to bother others. Just do your job well!"
Wei Zheng was unwilling and wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Shimin's eyes, he felt a sudden shock in his heart for some reason and dared not speak any more.
"hold head high!"
At this moment, a dragon roar resounded through the sky. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a four-clawed red dragon leaping towards them from the clouds with its fangs and claws bared.
"Princess Danxia is back!"
"Danxia!"
"your Highness!"
Seeing the red dragon, everyone showed joy on their faces; even the usually conservative Wei Zheng stroked his beard and smiled.
…………
"Danxia! Why are you back so soon? Are you missing your father?"
Li Shimin touched his little daughter who buried her head in his arms and stroked the ends of Danxia's hair.
Danxia stuck out her tongue and snorted, "Father! Grandpa Tang went to Guanghan Palace, but he didn't take me with him. I also want to go to Guanghan Palace. I heard there is a Jade Rabbit in Guanghan Palace.
Grandpa Tang said he would bring back a jade rabbit, but I also want to see the fairy Chang'e dance!"
Li Shimin listened to Danxia's words, his hand paused, his eyes filled with fascination.
I want to watch the fairy Chang'e dancing too!
Not only Li Shimin, but several important officials of the Tang Dynasty also showed fascination after hearing Princess Danxia's words.
Li Shimin's eyes turned and he saw several female fairies who came with Danxia. He looked at the half-smile expressions that flashed across their faces.
Li Shimin coughed twice and said, "Please don't misunderstand me, fairies. I just want to know how the music I choreographed for the King of Qin breaks through the formation compares to the fairy dance in the palace in heaven."
