Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Ziyun Empire, Ziyunjing

is in the center of the capital, in a luxurious four-story restaurant, and warm cheers came from the hall on the first floor.

"Well sung

!" "This story is so good

!" "What a nice voice

!" "Hey, are you a man or a woman!"

"Hahaha!"

The guests in the restaurant threw coins into a copper basin in the middle of the stage, and a bard dressed in green bowed slightly to the people in thanks.

He had just finished singing a poem with an impassioned story, which won applause from the audience.

The story describes the story of a mortal city-state, suddenly a group of Grim Reaper armies accompanied by deafening thunder harvested the Lord's soldiers, and then the Grim Reaper turned into angels and distributed the Lord's food to poor civilians.

"Hmph, this kind of unrealistic story can always please these pariahs!" In

the compartment of the private room on the second floor, a nobleman in a gorgeous purple robe looked at the bard on the first floor with disdain on his face and said, the purple-robed nobleman in front of him waved his hand, raised a glass of wine and smiled at him:

"These bards and those roaming knights who always like to stand up for the common people have a virtue, what do they do, come, let's drink!"

The bard on the stage faintly heard the voice of the nobleman upstairs, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, he looked at the group of people who came in at the door and was stunned.

"Hey, look at that man, he wears a purple robe and hanging accessories, he looks like a nobleman, how come his men are holding burning sticks?"

A guest looking at the person who came in at the door, patted his companion at the table and said, one of the companions looked at it, then shrugged his shoulders and said

, "Who knows, maybe it's the scythe of death

!" "Hahaha!"

Hearing him joke about the story the poet had just sang, the table burst into laughter.

"Hey, beautiful man, hurry up and do another song

!" "Hahaha!" At

this time, the people in the audience shouted to the bard on the stage, but the bard looked at the people who had just come in and muttered,

"That's the scythe of death..."

In Ziyun Palace, on the high platform of the court, a young man wearing a crown sat on the throne, and there were rows of heavily armed soldiers standing under the stage.

On both sides of the long court, the wide-open windows let in sunlight, shining dazzlingly on the gold carvings on the pillars on both sides of the court.

Zhang Yi, who was wearing a purple robe, walked on the red carpet in the middle of the court with his head held high, and when he came to the high platform, Zhang Yi put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly:

"Foreign Minister Zhang Yi, see Emperor Ziyun!" "

I have heard that the Clair Kingdom intends to rebel and has been suppressed by Earl Su Zheng's troops.... If your country re-canonizes the king and guarantees the normal passage of Tanglin Pass, the Purple Cloud Empire is willing to continue to open trade routes with your country. "

Your Majesty, the foreign minister is here to envoy this time, and there is another important

matter I want to ask Your Majesty!" "Oh, what's the matter?"

"Duke Zhao of your country, led hundreds of magicians to assist Duke Murong in launching a rebellion in the Clare royal capital, which caused losses to our king, Your Majesty, I am here to ask you for an explanation!"

Zhang Yi said, hearing this, the little emperor on the high platform was stunned for a moment, and asked Zhang Yi with some surprise:

" Are you saying that Zhao Xing and a hundred magicians and King Clare all started a rebellion? Have you suppressed it?"

"Of course, 12 magicians were killed, 91 magicians were captured, and we returned Zhao Xing himself!"

"Your Majesty, this matter must be given to us! The duke of your country is vainly trying to subvert the power of his country. "

Zhang Yi, the little emperor thought for a moment and said:

"Please wait a few days, if this matter is true, I will immediately issue an order to cut off Zhao Xing's title and fief, and all his family property will be sent to His Royal Highness Su Zheng as compensation!"

And the little emperor's words made Zhang Yi stunned, he didn't expect the little emperor to not play cards according to the routine.

It stands to reason that although Zhao Xing is a nobleman of the Purple Cloud Empire, he is an individual nobleman and is not a representative of the Purple Cloud Empire, and the Purple Cloud Empire does not need to be responsible for this at all.

Then Zhang Yi can forcibly lead troops to make trouble in Zhao Xing's fiefdom, so as to trigger Mu Dun with the Ziyun Empire, and Su Zheng will send troops to open the pass of the Ziyun Empire and sign some more treaties .....

Unexpectedly, the little emperor actually agreed directly, and he actually killed him directly, and promised to give all Zhao Xing's property to Su Zheng.

The little emperor's words also shocked the auxiliary ministers on the side, and hurriedly came to the little emperor's side and whispered:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that doing this will make the other nobles dissatisfied...."

Little Emperor

" Zhao Xing is already a big trouble in our hearts, and now most of their magicians are folded in Krar, isn't it a good time for us to do it?"

"Your Majesty.... Zhao Xing's threat is not only those magicians, but also other nobles who have a relationship with him!" said

the auxiliary minister with an anxious face, Zhao Xing provided magical mercenary services for other nobles, and attracted many nobles, Zhao Xing's manor was heavily guarded, and it was also the center of secret communication between the nobles.

The Purple Cloud Empire did not divide the kingdoms, but in fact, the imperial court had a very low grasp of each principality, and each principality was controlled by some duke forces.

Forty percent of the forces in the main force of the empire are also controlled by the three major nobles, and once these nobles riot, the Purple Cloud Empire court will not even be able to dispatch enough troops to deal with it.
