C967 Heavenly Mountain Palace
Lili said flatly: "My Elemental Spirit never carries anyone else."
Hearing this, Chen Qingyang could not help but smile bitterly. The heck, this woman was not giving him any face at all. But immediately, Lili said, "But I can give you an exception."
Chen Qingyang laughed. "Miss Qiao, can you finish what you just said in one breath?"
Qiao Ning smiled but said nothing more. Chen Qingyang said to Nie Meiniang, "You see, there's no problem."
Although Nie Meiniang was unhappy, she could not say anything else.
Lei Bao was familiar with the city, so he called for a carriage. Everyone got into the carriage. Lei Bao was a travelling man, so even if they were in front of Qiao Ning and Wu Li, he wouldn't be too restrained. He smiled at Chen Qingyang and said, "North Sea City is a good place. Although it is a mixture of fish and dragons, there are still a lot of new things here. This is the heaven of the adventurers.
Chen Qingyang said: "Is it because North Sea City is too far away from the Imperial City that it is so free and at ease?"
Lei Bao said, "That's right."
Chen Qingyang said, "Aren't there any sea bandits here?"
"Bandits?" Lei Bao said: "In the past, North Sea City was deeply troubled by pirates. The government sent people to encircle and annihilate the city, but as soon as the pirates and other officials came, they immediately ran into the sea. It was impossible for the officials to spend a lot of time and money on it. They could not afford to waste it on the pirates. In those years, sea bandits were rampant, and a few large sea bandits were unable to be suppressed by the government. "
"What about now?" Chen Qingyang asked.
Lei Bao said: "It's different now, there are basically no sea bandits in North Sea City anymore."
"Oh, why?" Chen Qingyang asked with interest.
Lili started by saying, "That's because after His Majesty took over the throne, he tried his best to eliminate the pirates."
Lei Bao also said, "That's right. But at this point, I, Old Lei, have no choice but to admire His Majesty. In the past, it was not as if the imperial government did not think highly of the problem of the bandits in North Sea City. But every year, every year, it was to no avail. "But today, His Majesty's different. He took care of all the bandits within three months."
"How?" Chen Qingyang asked in interest. It should be said that he was more interested in His Majesty's interests today. His Majesty seemed to be able to see through everything and was incomparably wise. No one could fathom His Majesty's heart. His ambitions were something no one dared to dream of. Even if it was Cloud Heaven Sect, he dared to challenge it.
His Majesty truly had never seen anything like this before!
At this time, Qiao Ning said, "The current emperor is indeed extraordinary. Although the previous imperial government was a imperial court, it could not restrain Cultivator the World. This was especially true for those with no self-discipline like Cultivator. He could be said to be someone who would casually kill people and steal their belongings. He had never listened to the orders of the imperial government. However, after this emperor ascended to the throne, the first one to take action was against Cultivator. He had killed all the chaotic Celestial Sect in the world. As for Cultivator, who had violated the criminal law, he would not let him off lightly either. It seemed that as long as the emperor wanted to capture someone, there was no one he couldn't. Later on, Cultivator even gathered a group of experts to go to the palace and kill the emperor. There was no lack of experts with Peak of Ninth Layer amongst them. But something strange happened that night. "
"What strange thing?" Chen Qingyang immediately asked.
Qiao Ning said, "After this group of experts entered the palace compound, they did not start a fight, but after that, no one came out. It was like a clay ox entering the sea. However, the next day, the Emperor went to court as early as ever, as if nothing had happened. "
Chen Qingyang could not help but take a deep breath and said: "Even an expert in Peak of Ninth Layer died inside?"
Lili said, "So the current Cultivator doesn't have many people who dare to be impudent to the imperial government. Up till today, the prestige of the imperial government can be said to be at its peak. "
"By the way, Miss Qiao." Chen Qingyang said, "I also heard that His Majesty used to be a cowardly and stupid person. Twenty years ago, he suddenly became intelligent overnight. Can you make out the background of His Majesty? "
Lili said, "I've never seen the Emperor, so I can't guess where he came from. However, it was almost certain. Someone must have possessed the Emperor. Furthermore, this expert is not inferior to the Four Emperors and the Four Emperors of the Ancient Era. "
Chen Qingyang said, "If that's the case, such a person should have a name. Can't you calculate it? "
Qiao Ning said, "In the void, there are still countless True Gods. Some of them have always kept a low profile. This is something we can't foresee. However, these things are not for you or me to worry about. Who cares what kind of person the emperor was. In any case, the world now belonged to him, so no one could waver. That level of status as a prince is now no longer important to the Emperor. "
Chen Qingyang thought to himself, "If I meet Senior Chen Ling one day, he might know to ask him". Then he asked Lei Bao, "Big Brother Ley, how did His Majesty use three months to eliminate the bandits?"
Lei Bao had always wanted to say that he finally had the chance to say it, so he cleared his throat and said, "First, Your Majesty spread the news that the country of Rou Ran has requested His Majesty to bestow some beauties to improve the nation's racial disadvantage. This is because the people of Rou Ran were born short. Then His Majesty agreed and selected three thousand virgin girls from within the country. And the destination of the transport, was North Sea City. "By the way, His Majesty even promised to bestow a million taels of gold to Rou Ran."
"After this matter was spread out, it alarmed all the pirates." Lei Bao said.
"This plan isn't too good. The sea bandits can figure out the problem if they think about it a little." Chen Qingyang said.
Nie Meiniang said flatly, "Although the strategy is not brilliant, but the bandits have been smooth sailing for decades, killing and robbing easily. They were familiar with the imperial government and knew of its ways. Therefore, they were not afraid of the imperial government. Moreover, the people who are lacking the most are women. "
"That's right!" Lei Bao said, "The pirates really do value this operation and are afraid of being involved in a scam. "It was precisely because they feared that there would be some sort of trap within that trap that they were all gathered together at the Pirates' Meeting."
"What was the result?" Chen Qingyang asked.
Lei Bao said, "His Majesty said something else before. He said that the pirates were wreaking havoc. This time, he'll arrange for heavy soldiers to escort the Rou Ran Country to bring back the beauties and gold and silver." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Thus, the smart sea bandits decided to take the initiative to attack North Sea City. They wanted to kill His Majesty by accident. Moreover, they have done this many times, and have already become familiar with it. "
"And then?" Chen Qingyang asked.
Lei Bao laughed and said, "These pirates will never reach the coast. Before they got close to the shore, there was a sudden burst of fog on the surface of the sea. The fog enveloped all the pirates! The next day, all the pirates died at sea. "
Chen Qingyang immediately understood the mystery and ingenuity of His Majesty's plan.
The reason they had made the pirates prepare to go on the island was that they were not allowed to actually go on the island. The reason for this was that His Majesty wanted to set up a formation at a fixed location to expel the poison. If Rou Ran were to set out to sea, then the targets of the pirates' attacks would be uncertain. If they were to come to the Spirit North Sea City, they would be able to set up a formation while they were on the road.
"Aren't the sea bandits going to leave those Poisonous Fog soon?" Qiao Ning asked: "Those Poisonous Fog can't possibly cover all the seas right?"
Chen Qingyang said, "I'm afraid His Majesty has set up a bewitching formation inside. It's like a demon striking a wall; no matter what, he can't break through."
Lei Bao said, "I'm not sure about that."
The carriage moved forward, and the sun was already setting. Chen Qingyang asked Lei Bao, "Brother Lei, where are you taking us? We have a lady here, you can't bring me to such beautiful places, I'm a very proper person! "
Lei Bao burst into laughter and said, "Brother Chen, are you implying that I should bring you there?"
Chen Qingyang said, "I won't say anything. I will only say it explicitly."
Qiao Ning did not talk much to him. Apparently, with her identity, she did not like to talk much with Lei Bao.
Nie Meiniang too.
Only Chen Qingyang, in his heart, did not have any levels. He made friends with the name 'Chi Cheng'. If the other party was sincere, then even if he was a character in the mud, he would still call him brother. The other party was unbridled. Even though he was a noble relative of the imperial family, he didn't spare them a glance.
"The place I'm bringing you to is called Jade Mansion. The seafood there is the most delicious. I, Old Lei, have definitely put in a lot of effort this time." Lei Bao said.
Chen Qingyang laughed and said, "Seafood, I like it so much."
While they were talking, Nie Meiniang suddenly said, "There seems to be something going on over there." She had just lifted the curtain.
Chen Qingyang couldn't help but be puzzled. "Nie Meiniang, why is your nose like a puppy? Is it that you're the first one to notice every time something happens?"
Nie Meiniang glared at Chen Qingyang and said, "I think you're the one with no teeth to speak of."
Chen Qingyang chuckled and said, "I can't spit out the ivory from my mouth, can you?"
Lili didn't have time to argue with Chen Qingyang. She told the driver to stop and got out of the car.
Chen Qingyang, Qiao Ning, and Lei Bao got out of the car one after the other.
At this time, they were on the busy streets of North Sea City. There were many shops on both sides of the street and pedestrians were passing by.
The place that Lili talked about was in the east, in the sky to the east. The wind and clouds were changing, and it could be said that it was a stormy sea of clouds. Smoke and dust were billowing up.
"It seems like there's an expert fighting over there!" Chen Qingyang said in a deep voice.
"It looks to me like the Skymount Palace is in that direction." Nie Meiniang said.
"What's wrong with the Sky Mountain Divine Palace?" Chen Qingyang was confused.
Lili said, "I actually know of the Skymount Divine Palace. There is a old ancestor of the Skymount Divine Palace. Old Patriarch Tianshan was originally a deity from this region of the North Sea, and was revered by many. Later, the old ancestor of Tianshan went into seclusion, and it just so happened that at this time, the current emperor had swept across North Sea City. "The emperor has the courage to sweep away all the monsters and ghosts. Therefore, the Sky Mountain Divine Palace has been swept clean by the emperor …"2
