My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 438 Wang Heng

He didn't know about the recent turmoil in the court.

Of course, it was not clear that the magic elixir in Liu Qingyuan's hand was not exchanged for the long-term stationing outside the Great Wall in the next few decades, but was a private gift from a big shot in the cabinet.

The poison on that strange fish is the most extraordinary poison in the world.

For ordinary poisons, the antidote prepared by the Imperial Guards themselves is enough to solve most illnesses.

Naturally, there is no need to scramble to find foreign aid like now.

"This great kindness will be remembered by Qiu for the rest of his life."

Qiu Luan bowed deeply to Liu Qingyuan.

Liu Qingyuan turned sideways to avoid it.

"No, no--"

Liu Qingyuan waved his hand quickly.

"No matter how precious the medicine is, it is nothing more than mud and gravel compared to the general. Besides, this thing is useless to me, and I cannot accept such a great gift from you."

Qiu Luan took off the sword and wanted to give it to Liu Qingyuan, but he shook his head and refused.

But during the argument, a voice sounded in their ears.

"Take it, this sword is also a treasure, it won't be too much of a disadvantage if you hold it."

Liu Qingyuan turned his head, and a person he never expected appeared in front of him.

Compared to the slightly immature boy in Anlu, his face now looks a little less green and a little more determined and persistent.

"Your Majesty? How did you—"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Liu Qingyuan's eyes flashed with shock.

Why did the emperor appear here? Didn't the elders say that the emperor was discussing metaphysics with all the real monks in Xiyuan and practicing in seclusion?

But no matter how many thoughts were running through his mind.

With a casual wave of Zhu Houcong's hand, a thin golden shield was raised around him.

Covering everyone in it, hiding their figures.

Zhu Houcong gently tapped Qiu Luan's forehead with his right hand.

Qiu Luan trembled, and a blue smoke emerged from Baihui Point.

As the blue smoke rises, a cold current spreads around.

Li Changshou watched in shock as the blue smoke dissipated, and a light layer of frost condensed on the long knife in his hand where the blue smoke had scraped it.

"The Shark Girl is a foreign race from the deep sea. Although the officials of Qintian Prison used the essence and blood of various beasts to blend it, the cold poison still inevitably remains..."

Zhu Houcong said lightly.

Although he felt that there was still room for improvement in the alchemy techniques of those Quanzhen Taoists.

But he was still very happy that Qin Tianjian had figured out something with the alchemy skills of another world.

"I'm going east this time, so please keep it a secret for me."

Zhu Houcong glanced at everyone, and finally set his sights on Liu Qingyuan.

"I dare not obey the imperial edict."

Liu Qingyuan tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand.

He bowed and replied with a wry smile.

The emperor's trip to the capital this time was obviously done secretly without telling many elders in the capital.

Zhu Houcong asked Qiu Luan about this situation.

"As far as what I just saw, most of these pirates are Japanese soldiers. They don't look like ordinary bandits. Moreover, they are carried on the bottom of the boat by giant fish. I don't know what kind of magical method is used. They can come and go on the sea without hindrance, and there is no need to rely on ocean currents. The monsoon can travel thousands of miles in a day——"

Qiu Luan replied. "If you want to destroy all these monster ships, you must first kill these sea beasts at the bottom of the ship."

……

"The Seed Family did not hesitate to risk being cut off by the Chinese Empire to attack the Ming Dynasty's fleet. What was their purpose?"

Wang Heng stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the first batch of ships sent out not far away and now almost all of them had been destroyed.

Akito's samurai were indeed fierce, killing giant beasts in the water, forcing the ship to slow down and fall into chaos, and then pierce it with a giant cannon and set it on fire.

Wang Heng's eyes were cold, even though the sea in front of him was full of the smell of sesame oil and gunpowder.

The broken ship was scattered on the sea, burning with blazing fire.

Standing next to him was a man, wearing the sleeveless top commonly worn by ronin. Although there was a beautifully decorated long sword hanging on his waist, these sophisticated weapons from Japan were highly sought after by the dignitaries of the Ming court.

Don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy and play.

But despite this, this man is not a samurai.

The folding fan in his hand and the woman-like makeup on his face prove his identity.

A native Japanese wizard or priest.

Yin Yang Family——

It is said that they can not only control the legendary shikigami to resist the invasion of those terrible things in the dark, but are also proficient in the language of beasts and can communicate with various elves and gods.

Their sources of information are vast and knowledgeable, they can answer questions for nobles and princes, and convey the will from their ancestors.

"This is the master's will—"

The man next to him spoke in a low tone, but like the geishas at the wine shop, he gently used a folding fan to cover his pale face that was smeared with foundation.

Only a pair of crooked eyes were exposed, looking at the legendary pirate in front of him who was very close to Satsuma's ministers and dignitaries.

"How could a little guy like me know?"

Wang Heng frowned as he listened to the words of the man who claimed to have been inspired by the gods six months ago and suddenly appeared in the Satsuma territory.

Wang Heng didn't believe a word of what he said.

Although he has been spending all his time with the ministers since arriving in Kagoshima, even his good friend, the current head of the seed family, seemed to have lost his soul after meeting the man next to him. Retainers burned incense and prayed.

Even the purchase of various artillery pieces from Xiyi and Daming, which he had agreed with Wang Heng, became less of a concern.

This time, he suddenly told Wang Heng that he would lead a fleet to attack the Ming Dynasty mission. After that, Wang Heng would be given the status of a Japanese noble and a fiefdom for him to rule.

This was an offer Wang Heng could not refuse.

Although he does not value the canonization of the shogunate.

But once he has this identity, he can more legitimately station troops throughout Japan to "control key points" and use force to command the thirty-six barbarians on the island for his own use.

If you are destined to be unable to return to the Ming Dynasty in this life, then establishing a country in Japan, becoming the king, and establishing your own country seems to be a good choice.

Wang Heng thought.

Hearing the words of the wizard named Kamo Nagato beside him, he sneered and asked the pirate on the tower holding a bright yellow flag to order the second batch of large ships to dispatch, spread out to avoid the Ming court's artillery fire, and once again attack the Ming Dynasty. The fleet of men divided it.

Then he turned his head and looked at the wizard next to him who was looking at the Ming Ting's flagship with deep eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and warned.

"Don't let me find out what little tricks you are doing behind your back."

"How can I, a lowly person, dare to deceive General Wang?"

The wizard's high-pitched laughter disgusted Wang Heng as much as his funny makeup.
