Fish swimming around the world

"I see." Jiang Fan didn't feel anything wrong with them taking precautions. After all, in this troubled world, absolute trust is still difficult. Now he has truly entered the palace and is in charge of bliss.

"The Privy Secret Palace not only stores these, but also many secrets of dynasties and important people. They are the fruits of hundreds of years in the City of Paradise. Unfortunately, it has undergone great changes many times, and now only ten of these things remain."

Jiang Fan nodded immediately, which was also good. Originally, he had always wondered why, although Tianji Pavilion was all-encompassing, it did not record many top secrets as he imagined. It turned out that they were all hidden in the Privy Secret Hall.

"However, you must also pay attention to the fact that time has passed and people and things are changing. Even the things in the Privy Secret Palace can only be used as a reference and cannot be fully adhered to."

Jiang Fan said that he understood that this was a simple truth. Only change is the eternal change. It is better not to believe in secret intelligence records than to believe them completely. People should judge the situation with their own minds.

"Thirdly, there are many treasures and wealth inside, which have been collected by hundreds of years of bliss. In fact, the emperor's grandfather also wanted to get it. After all, this huge wealth will be of great use to the restoration of the great Zhou Dynasty."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh, the treasures that the Shadow Guards had plundered for hundreds of years were astonishing, but he didn't expect that they would become his own all of a sudden.

However, the city lord quickly gave up his idea: "Don't think too much. Most of them were taken away by the imperial court before the Shadow Guards defected. In fact, the Paradise City and Tianji Pavilion are both newly built. It's just a replica of the original, but it's still an amazing wealth, but..."

She smiled and said: "In the long run, you will earn more sooner or later. I have no doubt about this. It has only been two years and you are already the richest man in the world."

Jiang Fan said: "This is not my own efforts. Ba Qing alone accounted for 60%."

The city lord said: "Everyone is yours, what's the difference? No matter how you get it, you get it."

"Haha..." Jiang Fan didn't want to gossip anymore and said quickly: "Sister will take me to see it later. I really need some information to fill my head."

The city lord nodded: "It's all yours, don't rush it for a while. Now that my father has given me the information, there is something important that you need to know first, which is the true origin of Paradise City."

This was precisely what Jiang Fan was most concerned about, so he listened attentively.

"Bliss was built in the 24th year of Zhou Xingyuan. Its predecessor was the personal bodyguard of Emperor Taizu..."

The city lord narrated the story, and Jiang Fan finally understood the past and present life of this dark kingdom.

When Emperor Taizu accepted the abdication, it was actually because of the power in his hands that the Feng family was no longer able to compete with. In order to preserve the fire, Yu Taiyue abdicated and gained a reputation as a protector.

However, Emperor Taizu could not trust the Feng family at all, so he instructed his personal bodyguard commander to establish the Shadow Guard. In addition to eliminating dissidents and performing secret missions, the most important thing was to monitor and restrict the Feng family.

The Shadow Guards have the power to kill first and report later, to carry out special projects alone, and to supervise everything. Since Emperor Taizu, they have been extremely powerful. They are the true shadow empire under the bright and upright image of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But later, with the weakening of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the rise of powerful powers, the heroes of the world could no longer restrain their ambitions. For a time, the world was in chaos and heroes competed for hegemony.

In order to continue the Great Zhou Dynasty, it had no choice but to enfeoff in various ways, including the previous Qi State, Lu State, Chen State, etc., which were all products of specific historical periods.

In this way, Dazhou forcibly extended his life to the thirteenth year of Jingde. That is, about one hundred and seventy years from today.

At this point, the eighteen princes canonized by the Great Zhou Dynasty finally decided on the five strongest kingdoms after a hundred years of disputes, which are today's Qin, Jin, Xia, Wei, and Chu.

From then on, the five kingdoms began to compete for supremacy in the world, which was more intense than in the era of the Eighteen Kings.

The then Emperor Xianzong had realized that the Great Zhou Dynasty was in dire straits and could not continue, so he thought hard about ways to survive.

It was during this period that he made a major move to make Shadow Guard independent.

This was actually a huge risk. After all, the Shadow Guards were the most loyal secret guards at the time, and they were also a huge force under the Human Emperor that shocked everyone.

But there was no other way. In order to continue Guo Zuo, Xianzong laid out a century-old plan and designed the Shadow Guards to rebel. At the cost of tens of thousands of heads, he completely drew a clear line with the Shadow Guards so that the world would no longer have any doubts. But his real purpose is to retain his power, and use this to let the Shadow Guards secretly take away Xian Zong's favorite prince in order to restore the country in the future.

After the defection of the Shadow Guard shocked the world, the Shadow Guard, under the secret planning of the talented prince, managed to survive in the cracks of the five kingdoms and established the City of Paradise.

At this point, Bliss declares its independence.

Later, with Xianzong's painstaking support, Dazhou miraculously survived for twenty years and entered the Anzong era. This Anzong is Pingzong's father. Although this person has no great talent, he is the winner, which makes everyone feel reassured.

In the process, Bliss shrank openly and secretly, hoping to one day make a comeback and restore the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xianzong's prediction finally came true. Anzong had no great talent, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was increasingly shaky, losing all its real power. At one time, the most powerful Wei at the time used the emperor to make the princes a complete puppet.

Seeing that the great Zhou Dynasty was about to be completely destroyed, unexpectedly, seventy years ago, a peerless young talent suddenly appeared. With clever means, he brought this extinguished candle to Taiyue and forcibly continued it to this day.

This young talent is Zhang Zhiling, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiling traveled to the five kingdoms of the world, trying to restore the Great Zhou with his own strength, but he was ultimately unable to resist the tide of history and left the scene in disgrace.

However, due to the hard work of him and a group of heroes, the Great Zhou finally gained a foothold in Taiyue. Although it no longer had real power and became a puppet manipulated by all parties, it was always better than complete destruction.

Zhang Zhiling's era was the late Anzong period and the Pinghuang period. Pinghuang was different from Anzong. He was not only extremely talented, but also had a true heart of a human emperor. He also recruited countless heroes like Zhang Zhiling, but it was really beyond his ability to save the Great Zhou. However, he relied on his means to miraculously continue the temple between the five kingdoms and the holy land, at least achieving nominal non-destruction.

Unfortunately, Xianzong did it too realistically at the beginning. Pinghuang, like Anzong, thought that Jile had betrayed when the Great Zhou needed it most, and failed the trust of the human emperors of all generations. He regarded Jile as a traitor, and his hatred even surpassed those disloyal people who openly proclaimed themselves kings.

But at this time, the prince who had escaped was already very old. In order to prevent the extreme happiness from deviating, the old prince, after countless observations and tests, finally selected the current prince Ji Zongyi as the secret successor.

But the prince was in a very bad situation. In order to take over this power without being noticed. The prince imitated Xianzong and personally planned a royal incident.

When the city lord said this, his expression became very gloomy, and there was a trace of pain hidden deep in his heart.
