Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 489: Finally meet, the election method of the saint of the country

In the exquisite royal city, the sun rises.

The campaign of the saints is about to begin again. The cruel competition will cause injuries to people on both sides, and even their own lives will be in danger.

Hongxu and Qingyao were dressed elegantly and freshly, looking at the rising sun, looking forward to Fang Yuan's arrival.

"No need to wait, I have arranged for people to intercept them. Let's start our campaign."

The charming woman appeared in front of Hongxu and Qinggao again.

"That would be the stupidest thing you could do."

Hongxu was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

Although the poisons in Jingjue Country are terrible, they are not omnipotent.

The fire gun developed by Fang Yuan alone can cause heavy casualties to poisonous creatures.

Although there are still some poisons that are difficult to use with ordinary attacks, Hongxu believes that Fang Yuan will be fine.

This is a huge trust in Fang Yuan, a trust that the two of them have lived with for many years.

"is it?"

"Hehehe, then I'll wait."

The charming woman chuckled.

He didn't take Hong Xu's words to heart at all.

In her opinion, it was Hongxu's words that deliberately scared her.

"Today's election is about to begin, please prepare for the three saint candidates."

The three chiefs said loudly.

The solemn sound spread throughout the pagoda.

A new day of sainthood candidates is about to begin, and the time for the life-and-death competition among the three saints is here again.

Hongxu took a deep breath, and her eyes slowly became firm.

Qingyao stood behind her, already changing into a warrior's clothes.

She looked at the other two saint candidates and their warriors with a very solemn expression.

It's hard to say whether he can survive today, maybe Fang Yuan will fail and die if he can't wait for the two of them.

Just when the three chiefs were about to call out, soldiers rushed in quickly from the pagoda's gate.

"Report!!!"

"The King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty has arrived and threatened to meet the top officials of Jingjue Kingdom. If he neglects, the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will sweep over!"

The soldiers' voices were panicked and urgent, echoing in the pagoda.

The top leaders of the Jingjue Kingdom are all here. Among them, the three chief executives are not the top leaders of the Jingjue Kingdom. They are the top leaders of the Saintess Cult. They are mainly responsible for assisting the saints and electing saints. In the Jingjue State, they are nominally the No rights.

Equivalent to the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet, the cabinet members had almost no power and just helped the emperor handle government affairs.

"King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty?"

"When did the Tang Dynasty have a King of Zhou?"

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom were talking a lot and were curious about King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty.

In their memories, there was no King Zhou in the Tang Dynasty, and King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty should not appear here.

"Whether there is or not, we will start ours, and you can just go and meet yours."

The three chiefs said loudly.

"It's inappropriate. Your behavior during the competition was too bad and could easily hurt others."

"If it's really the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty who comes, we can't hurt each other, and we can't startle each other, otherwise we, the Jingjue Kingdom, will be the unlucky ones."

The senior officials of Jingjue Country felt something was wrong.

The campaign of the saint is terrible and can easily endanger the safety of ordinary people.

The purpose of releasing poison into the territory during the Saintess' campaign was actually not to prevent other countries from interfering, but to prevent other countries from coming in and being harmed.

Only if other countries feel that they are in danger during this period will they not come to Jingjue Country.

"is it necessary?"

The three major business owners expressed dissatisfaction with this.

The campaign of the saint is very important, how can it be stopped just because of a Zhou king?

"necessary!"

"The Tang Dynasty is already the strongest among all the countries. The Eastern Turks and Tuyuhun were destroyed by them. Countries such as Silla and Baekje are also severely weakened."

"If the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty is injured, our Western Region will probably suffer a heavy blow. Let's stop for now. It won't be a big problem if we stop for a long time."

The top leaders of Jingjue Country unanimously thought so.

In the end, the three major business owners could only agree to suspend today's competition.

Because a saintly candidate will give birth to a saint, by default she will be a high-ranking member of the Jingjue Kingdom.

Therefore, everyone moved, including Hongxu and others, to the gate of the royal city to welcome the arrival of King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty.

Hongxu and other saint candidates stood at the front, quietly waiting for the arrival of King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty.

"You didn't invite King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty to help you, right?"

The charming woman said with a cold expression.

Neither Hongxu nor Qinggao were there, they looked ahead quietly.

They were very curious about who King Zhou was. They had never heard of King Zhou when they were in Chang'an City.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Suddenly, three loud sounds sounded.

I saw three lines of smoke rising in the distance of the royal city, and then three things with big heads fell to the side and exploded.

The top officials of Jingjue Kingdom watched from a distance. Even though they were far away, they still felt the huge power within it, just like destroying the world and destroying the earth. It was beyond human power.

"cannon?!"

The red catkin and green woman couldn't help but exclaimed.

It looks like the cannon developed by Fang Yuan.

It is already in use, but not in many places. Several of them are installed on steel ships.

"Hongxu, what is the cannon?"

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom all looked at Hongxu.

The other two saint candidates also looked at Hongxu, their eyes unmoving in surprise.

"It's such a powerful weapon that it won't be a problem to destroy a city gate with one shot."

"You should know that the fire gun is more than ten times more powerful than the fire gun!"

Hongxu said in a deep voice.

She guessed that it was a cannon, but besides Fang Yuan, who else could bring the cannon?

But who is the King of Zhou?
"So strong?!"

Everyone was shocked and their eyes were filled with doubts.

They all heard about the fire gun. Because of the emergence of the fire gun, the Tang Dynasty became an absolutely powerful country. Tuyuhun was destroyed by the fire gun.

And the cannon is more than ten times more powerful than the firecracker. Isn't it terrible?
For a moment, the top officials of Jingjue Kingdom were glad to come out in person to greet King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty.

Not long after, Datang Friday's team could be seen.

It started with three batteries, pulled by three carriages.

What remained was a team of hundreds of people, including ceremonial teams and escorts, as well as a relatively luxurious carriage.

"coming!"

The top brass of Jingjue Kingdom exclaimed.

Everyone looked at each other and finally decided to go out of the city gate to greet him in person.

The power of the cannon was so great that they were afraid of offending King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to offend him.

So when the team of King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty was still a long time away from the city gate, everyone set out to greet them.

"Is this the King of Tang Dynasty in front of you? Do you have proof of identity?"

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom shouted loudly.

The soldiers had already verified their identities, but they still had to confirm.

"This is the identity of King Zhou!"

Lai Yingzhe rode out, dismounted and gave Fang Yuan the token and Tang Dynasty documents.

"Lai Yingzhe?!"

Hongxu and Qinggao exclaimed.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the incoming guard turned out to be Lai Yingzhe.

The one sitting in the sedan chair...couldn't he be his master Fang Yuan?
The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom looked at Hongxu and Qinggao one by one, and some of them took the tokens and documents to check.

"This is real!"

After inspection, the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom confirmed that he was really the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Fang Yuan walked out of it.

"master?!"

"Really you?!"

Hongxu and Qinggao stepped forward excitedly.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Fang Yuan.Is Fang Yuan the King of Zhou, or is the King of Zhou still inside?
"Hongxu, Qinggao, I finally see you."

Fang Yuan chuckled and jumped down from the carriage.

"master!"

Hongxu and Qinggao burst into tears of joy.

Here they are, finally here, coming all the way to support the two of them.

"Don't cry!"

Fang Yuan smiled and looked at the top management of Jingjue Kingdom.

"Excuse me, are you the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty?"

The top brass of Jingjue Country said uncertainly.

"It's impossible, it can't be him. Gonghua Xiaoyun's master is Fang Yuan, a minister of household affairs. It's impossible for him to be the King of Zhou!"

The charming woman shouted sweetly.

As he spoke, he stared at the carriage.

Gonghua Xiaoyun is Hongxu's name in Jingjue Kingdom.

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom were all stunned, and then they also looked at the carriage.

They knew that Hongxu had taken refuge with someone in the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't know the other person's exact identity.

Now that I heard the saint candidate say it, I felt that it couldn't be Fang Yuan, so I also looked at the carriage.

However, they were soon disappointed because it was Du Miaoyan who got off the carriage.

The rest was empty, no one was in it.

"Master, what's going on? Where is King Zhou?"

Hongxu asked worriedly.

There is only one carriage here and nothing else.

In other words, except Fang Yuan who is the King of Zhou, there is no possibility of other King of Zhou.

Then, is Fang Yuan the King of Zhou?

If not, the top brass of Jingjue Country would be angry.

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom and the saint candidates also looked at Fang Yuan.

"I am King Zhou!"

"Look at the back of the token, that's my name."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

"how come?"

The charming woman trembled and grabbed the token in disbelief.

However, she didn't know Chinese characters and had no idea what was written on it.

However, many of the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom are knowledgeable and know many men.

"Fang Yuan. Are you Zhou Wang Fang Yuan?!"

The eyes of the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom changed again and again.

"The leader of the Saintess Cult has met the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty."

Hongxu's mother heard that Hongxu said her master's name was Fang Yuan.

In other words, the person in front of him is Fang Yuan, the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty, and his daughter's master in the Tang Dynasty.

My daughter is saved, and the position of saint is within reach!

"I've met King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty!"

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom saluted Fang Yuan one by one.

"That's great, sir, you have become the king!"

Only then did Hongxu and Qinggao react, their faces turning red with excitement.

The other two saint candidates were shaky and couldn't believe it.

"I've seen you all!"

"Sorry for my sudden visit!"

Fang Yuan replied politely with Tang Li.

"You came just in time, we are holding a saint election."

“This election only happens once every five years in our country, so it’s very rare!”

Hongxu's mother said with a faint smile.

If Fang Yuan was invited by Hong Xu, then the result is almost certain.

So she said this specifically to let the senior executives present weigh whether they should favor their daughter.

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom changed, and their thoughts suddenly changed.

The other two saint candidates had ugly faces and angry eyes.

The main factors that determine their victory in the election for the Holy Maiden are two factors.

First, see who has more supporters!

Second, see who wins in the life and death hunt!
Of the two factors, it seems that the second is more decisive, but in fact it is the first that really matters.

Because there are more supporters, more people can be arranged to enter the field, so the side with more supporters will have more people and the winning rate will be greater.

This is why Hongxu and Qinggao asked for help in their letters. They needed money, and the more the better.

Use money to win over others and strengthen yourself, thereby increasing your winning rate.

In addition, it must be mentioned that weapons cannot be used in the campaign, only poisons can be used.

"Hongxu, how do you need me to help you?"

"If you have any requests, just ask and I will satisfy you."

Fang Yuan looked at Hong Xu and smiled.

"I need money!"

"Master, just leave the rest to us!"

Hongxu clenched her small fists and said with confidence.

With Fang Yuan here in person, what else can't be done by himself?

With Fang Yuan's momentum, many high-level officials will definitely take advantage of the situation and choose to take advantage of themselves.

In addition, Fang Yuan will definitely bring him money, and he can use this to win over more people and give them money to help him.

The balance of victory has slowly tilted towards myself!
"Take this gold and use it."

Fang Yuan waved back, and immediately a guard came over with a bag.

Qinggao came out to take it, but she couldn't hold it firmly and the bag immediately fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at it with surprise in their eyes.

He couldn't hold it firmly, which showed that the gold inside was very heavy.

In fact, Fang Yuan didn't bring that much gold, and he didn't know how much money Hong Xu Qinggao had.

But after finding the contact person of the Bafang Group, Fang Yuan decided to reveal his identity and go directly to King Jingjue City. After the female boss confirmed Fang Yuan's identity, her attitude changed and she got a lot of gold for Fang Yuan through means.

"Master, thank you, I won't let you down!"

Hongxu was moved and choked up.

"come on."

Fang Yuan nodded and looked at the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, please come this way!"

The three major division heads invited Fang Yuan.

The same is true for the top leaders of Jingjue Kingdom.

Fang Yuan followed their guidance and headed to the pagoda of Jingjue Country.

Many people from Jingjue Country came around and looked at Fang Yuan and others curiously.

Among them, the most people looked at Du Miaoyan, because Du Miaoyan's beauty could not be seen in Jingjue Country.

Among them, the other two Saintess candidates walked behind, looking at Fang Yuan and others in front of them with gloomy eyes.

"It's just shitty luck. The man who fled to the Tang Dynasty turned out to be the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty."

"Looking at them, they won't offend King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty. Do we want to admit defeat?"

"Admit defeat? Impossible, unless I die!"

The two exchanged in low voices.

Hong Xu, who was also following behind, heard their conversation and sneered in her heart.

It has not been life and death from the beginning. If you surrender, I can spare your lives. But if you don’t know what is good and what is good, then go see King Yama.

Hongxu ignored the two of them and didn't worry about whether they would join forces. She took the support Fang Yuan gave her and left to prepare for the next election.

At the same time, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan followed the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom into the pagoda, and prepared to watch the Saintess' election on the ninth floor, which was the highest level.

The election campaign of the saint candidate was arranged in a prescribed place, with mountains and water just like a park.

About half an hour later, the election for the saint began.
