"This … Let me think about it … You may leave first!"
If Wu Ming was here, he would definitely be able to see Li Yu struggling on top of the scarlet snake and his judgment being affected by the Dragon Qi.
Qingzhu I was overjoyed, but he still bowed and left.
Li Yu paced for a long time, but he still walked out and came to another house, "Father!"
His father, Li Zhen, was the real governor of Chu Feng County. After the Dragon's Gate meeting, he was seriously injured and couldn't manage anything.
Now, he was lying on a soft chair with a quilt on his knees. His eyes were turbid and he looked a little sluggish.
Seeing this, Li Yu's tears fell.
"Yu 'er …"
At this moment, he suddenly heard his father say something. Li Yu hurriedly lowered his body.
"Official … official salary is only temporary … I have no other wish in my life … I only hope that you can protect the family … This is the way to go …"
Li Zhen was old and weak. After saying this, he panted heavily. After a long time, he closed his eyes and waved his hand, not wanting to talk anymore.
"Yes, son!"
Li Yu's eyes were filled with tears as he slowly retreated. He looked at the dark sky and was speechless.
If he had the military power, he would still have the confidence to fight against Wu Zhi, but now …
Thinking of Xing Ju's action of reclaiming power, and the increase in his reputation if he successfully defended the city, he might even covet the throne!
At that time, even if he was Xing Ju's son-in-law, he could only kill him for the peace of the county.
"Forget it! Forget it! Love is too long, heroes are too short. So what if the future generations evaluate me? I only want to protect the family … "
Li Yu sighed, suddenly feeling disheartened.
Outside the city, Wu Ming who was looking at the Dragon Qi nodded, "It's done! This Li Yu is a smart man. After this, the Dragon Qi will be settled and there will be a lot of good fortune for the family. Who knows, there might be a day of prosperity in the future … "
In the past, failure meant death. It was already a great fortune to be able to retreat unscathed.
Of course, Wu Ming had followed Hou Zhu to suppress the destiny, so it was different. Even if Wu Zhi's army was defeated, he could still protect himself. This was the last insurance.
…
Ping'an Fifth Year, November, beginning of the month.
Chu Feng County's County Premier Li Yu dispatched his troops and opened the city gates with the Prefect's order, welcoming the Southern Phoenix Army in.
County Officer Xing Ju led his troops to resist and was killed. His family was also exterminated.
With the Prefecture Chief and County Minister's orders, the remaining counties of Chu Feng also surrendered one after another. They handed over their household registration documents and seals. By the end of the month, the entire Chu Feng County was in their hands!
They set out in October and conquered Chu Feng County in November! With this military service, Wu Zhi's prestige also increased greatly. In an instant, he intimidated everyone. With the power of two counties, he took the position of Jiedushi of the Nanfeng army and established his own government. His reputation was illustrious. Not only did his name shake Dingzhou, but it also spread to the entire world.
As a woman, she ruled over a region and commanded the military. Even though some of the defenders of Dao criticized her and felt as if the world had changed and the world had collapsed, she also gained the admiration of all the women in the world. There were even some female superhumans who joined her side.
In December, another shocking piece of news spread.
The military governor of the Southern Phoenix Army, Wu Zhi, who commanded two commanderies, was about to get married to a small noble family in the countryside. The entire province was shocked!
Yunping District, Wu Family Fortress.
"Quickly, hang up the lanterns!"
"The kitchen is ready. All the ingredients must be fresh. This time, we've invited chefs from the city. The chefs from a few well-known restaurants are all here …"
"There's also the red cloth and the brocade. Prepare ten percent more losses …"
The entire fortress was decorated with lanterns. Housekeeper Wu, Zhao Song, Feng Han, and the others were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground.
The master of the family was getting married! Naturally, it was a joyous occasion!
Moreover, the person he was marrying was the military governor of the Nanfeng army, Wu Zhi, the master of the Wu family who controlled Chu Feng and Nanfeng Commanderies! This was even more shocking.
In reality, when Wu Ming and Wu Qing returned and announced this news, Housekeeper Wu, Feng Han, and the others were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
"This time, the Wu family is marrying a daughter. All the aristocratic families and officials in the province will send people to congratulate us. We can't be rude!"
It was rare for Wu Qing to wear a court lady's dress and look a bit like a hostess.
Because Wu Ming's marriage was to Wu Zhi, it affected the hearts of the entire Dingzhou. If it wasn't for the fact that it was too rushed, there would probably be guests from other provinces.
"What's the situation in Dingzhou?"
The things were done by others, but Wu Ming had nothing to do and asked.
"What else can it be? Marquis Ding originally wanted to take revenge. However, before he could organize his troops, the news of Wu Zhi's sister conquering Chu Feng Commanderies was spread out. He could only stop and complain to the imperial court that Wu Zhi killed the Crown Prince without permission! The imperial court's attitude is ambiguous. It's a mess! "
Wu Qing said indifferently.
"After all, it's too shocking that Wu Zhi is a woman and can even cancel out the advantages of the two commanderies. Now, the people in the world are probably laughing at her and waiting for her to fail!"
Wu Ming closed his eyes. "Ehuan will definitely use this to show her weakness. She might even deliberately lean toward the imperial court …"
"I see that you do have the demeanor of a military counselor. Are you planning to serve under Sister Wuzhi?" Wu Qing blinked her eyes. "She's in charge of you during the day, and you're in charge of her at night. That's interesting!"
"Let Ehuan take care of things like conquering the world. I'd better focus on cultivation …"
Wu Ming stretched himself and covered his face with the book in satisfaction.
"Sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor … It's not bad!"
Wu Qing picked up a piece of cake. "Wu Zhi has used Wu Tiehu that you recommended. He has been promoted to be the commandant of the Imperial Guard. He leads five hundred soldiers and is a seventh-grade official! I heard that the military affairs of Chu Feng Commanderies will be entrusted to him in the future. When this was decided in the military meeting, she stood her ground against the majority! "
"Tiehu is the one that my family can handle. When he has meritorious service in the future, he can naturally be promoted. But it's not a big deal …"
Wu Ming's voice came from under the book. "Although we are not afraid, there must be someone outside who can bear the responsibility. This is where the face of the Wu family lies …"
"Yes, yes, yes! Otherwise, they will really treat you as a gigolo who lives off a woman … "
Wu Qing lifted the book on Wu Ming's face. She was obviously laughing. "Congratulations, you're famous now …"
"What does the praise and criticism of the world have to do with me?"
Wu Ming's eyelids drooped slightly, and his body had a constant temperament.
This Daoist aura shocked Wu Qing. "You're probably going to break through to become a Heavenly Mentor, right?"
"The fruits of my labor are here. It's just a matter of time!"
Wu Ming smiled. "Now, I should congratulate you for breaking through the threshold of a Perfected Being. From now on, your Primordial Spirit will be formed and you will transcend the mortal world!"
"However, I have no worries in my heart and the merit of being conferred!"
Wu Qing nodded. Right now, she was a Perfected Being!
Two Perfected Beings in one family! Even some cultivation families could not compare to her. In fact, it was enough to support a large Daoist lineage. If such a terrifying foundation were to be made known to others, the criticism of the outside world would probably be greatly reduced.
However, the Wu siblings did not like to be in the limelight, so they let him be.
"A Perfected Being conferred is indeed not bad. It's a pity that it's still not as good as the Imperial Advisor …"
In Wu Ming's eyes, Wu Qing's internal fate was red. From the external fate, there was an endless stream of golden fate. That was the fate brought by the conferment.
'From the looks of it, the conferment of a Perfected Being is five grades higher than that of the mortal world! For a cultivator to convert external fate into internal fate, the consumption is basically ten times higher. Therefore, when it reaches the internal fate, it is red! It can support a Perfected Being! '
'This means that ordinary cultivators, as long as they have the aptitude for cultivation and this conferment, have a high chance of becoming a Perfected Being! However, it will take a few years. I wonder how much of the fate of these two counties will be absorbed … '
The governor of an ordinary county was only golden. Once a Perfected Being was conferred, it was equivalent to having a governor with real power. The consumption would be like a mountain and the sea!
If there were two more, Wu Zhi's current wealth would not be able to support them. Her fate might decline and she would face a great calamity!
"Imperial Tutor?"
Wu Qing chuckled. "The Imperial Tutor is a transcendent-grade. He can absorb fate without limit. It's like a divine artifact changing owners. Sister Wu Zhi would be crazy to give it to me. You can give it a try …"
"There's no need for that now! I don't care about this little bit of fate. However, if I unify the world in the future, I'm quite interested in the position of Imperial Tutor … "
Although the Fusang world was small, Yijing had succeeded in Shangluo and occupied the entire world. He had become the ruler of the world. That was much bigger than the two counties combined.
Before Wu Ming left, he had used Dharma spells to devour the fate of the new dynasty. He had made a lot of money in one fell swoop. He did not even care about the conferment of a Perfected Being.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in Sister Wu Zhi?"
Wu Qing was slightly surprised. "The blood of a dragon fighting in the wild is yellow. Moreover, she is congenitally deficient and can be easily attacked. How can you be so sure?"
"I can't say … I can't say …"
Wu Ming smiled and shook his head.
In fact, if he could control the main divine hall, how much fate would it bring? How much fortune would it bring?
As the saying goes, when a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs rise to heaven. As people close to him, Wu Qing and Wu Zhi would definitely be able to obtain a trace of fate!
Although Yin Lingyang could easily be attacked by a group of people, how could a piece of wood burn the ocean? How could a drop of water stop a forest fire? As long as there was enough fate, so what if she could unify the world and become the Empress?
However, there was no need to tell Wu Qing about this.
"So mysterious …" Wu Qing muttered unhappily.
Wu Qing grumbled discontentedly. Then, she said, "The wedding day is approaching, and the county is filled with all sorts of people. Sister Wuzhi has already taken down several groups of spies. We are also the most important people here. Should we deploy troops to defend here?"
"Deploy troops now? Firstly, it's a show of weakness. Secondly, it's not justifiable. With the two of us here, what's there to be afraid of? "
"Yes, it's fine if it's those spies, but I'm afraid that they'll mix in with the guests. It's not easy to guard against them …"
Wu Qing sighed.
…
Just as she was discussing this with Wu Ming, outside of Chu Feng County, in a group of carriages, two people were also discussing them.
"The Wu siblings are extraordinary!"
A graceful woman with eyes as clear as water said with certainty.
