"Lowly person? Which lowly person?"
Wu Ming asked casually.
"The envoy from the Dazhou Imperial Court. He also brought an imperial edict, promising that as long as you delay, the imperial court will grant you a title …"
Ao Nu blushed and said hesitantly.
"I see!"
Wu Ming nodded in his heart and asked a few more questions. Combining his guesses, he had a good understanding of the Divine Dao of this world.
In the entire Dazhou World, the strongest Divine Dao was naturally the Celestial Thearch. He had obtained the title of the world and presided over the Heavenly Court.
This was the Divine Dao of the higher echelons. A group of ancient gods served the Celestial Thearch in the Heavenly Court. Because they were impartial, they had no need for the lower realm.
Below the Heavenly Court, the Divine Dao of the middle and lower realms was a little chaotic.
The Son of Heaven could become a god with a word. Famous mountains and rivers had spirits and could form their own Divine Seat. Even the Celestial Sect had the ability to become a god.
Apart from these, if one could obtain the sincere faith of the people, even a mortal could become a god after death!
The Heavenly Court was impartial and recognized all the Divine Seats, but they had to take care of themselves.
If one could accumulate merit, they could continue to advance and be granted a Divine Seat. But if a god only knew how to pursue blood and flesh after becoming a Divine Seat, the heavens would be angry and there would be heavenly punishment!
Ao Nu's Divine Seat of River Earl was formed by the gathering of the river water. It was not wrong to say that he was a subject of the Heavenly Court.
But just like those human dao gods, it would be too much to say that the Heavenly Court would take revenge immediately after his death.
"Such a powerful Heavenly Court … and the Celestial Sect … such a deep and unfathomable Dazhou World with a purple rank … what about the main shrine?"
Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he had to be more careful in the future.
He looked at Ao Nu and smiled. "Hand over the envoy and cooperate with Wuzhi to pray for rain to solve the drought in these two counties. What happened before will be written off. How about it?"
"As you wish!"
Ao Nu bowed and heaved a sigh of relief.
With such a huge difference in strength, especially considering Wu Ming's age and speed of improvement, he would definitely become a Celestial Immortal in the future!
The gap between them was like a chasm, yet it couldn't even muster up any thoughts of hatred.
"Good!"
Wu Ming nodded. It was so simple to solve the problem that had troubled Wu Zhi for so long.
At that time, she would have to ascend the altar to pray for rain once more. With Ao Nu's cooperation, they would be able to resolve the spring drought. This would not be a crime against the heavens, but a mandate of the heavens! Naturally, the rumors collapsed on their own.
"Xiaolong will take his leave!"
After Ao Nu received the order, he naturally wouldn't stay here any longer. He bowed and bade farewell, but when he looked at the clear light on Wu Ming's body, he was deep in thought. Once it falls, there will be a rise. The Immortal Dao is the same! During the last years of the Great Shang Dynasty, a Daoist Yu Qing appeared. From then on, the Yu Qing Immortal Vein took control of the secular Daoist sects. It has been three hundred years since then … The Heavenly Dao has changed. Could it be that the Wu Ming of today is the Yu Qing of the past? "
This was a huge matter.
Although the grotto-heavens and blessed lands were good, they were too high and mighty. The ones who truly came into contact with River Earls and Mountain Gods like them were still the secular Daoist sects.
Given the relationship between Wu Zhi and Wu Ming, once Wu Zhi ascended to the peak, Wu Ming's faction would definitely be in charge of the Dao Gate.
Ao Nu felt that he had to build a good relationship.
Even if he had to fight until the surrounding area was dry, he had to solve the spring drought of Chu Feng and Nan Feng County first!
Although this was against the harmony of the world, it was also to help the destiny of the Dao! The destiny would increase and decrease, and in the end, it might even increase.
Moreover, if he didn't obey, he would be killed immediately. Compared to the possible calamity in the future, what was it now? Maybe after this time, the Heavenly Dao calamity in the future would be taken over by an Earth Immortal? In fact, he still had no choice …
…
"What? Wu Zhi is going to lead the officials of the two counties to pray for rain? "
Inside the Square Inn, the spy leader of the imperial court stood up in shock, "Does she want to die? No! No! "
After all, he was a spy with deep thoughts. With just a thought, he turned his head, "If she dares to bet her reputation like this, she must be very confident. She either got the help of the Heavenly Master or convinced River Earl Nujiang! Damn it! "
The leader stood up and paced a few steps, pacing back and forth in the secret room. His face was as gloomy as water, and he shouted coldly, "We can't let her succeed!"
Of course, he couldn't let Wu Zhi do this. Otherwise, it would be a symbol of destiny. The people of the two counties would worship him like a god, and his little tricks before would all become a joke.
If the Nan Feng Army hadn't wasted this year and the people's minds were stable, then Dingzhou would be in danger!
"Zhang San, Li Si!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two spies knelt down. Their faces were extremely ordinary, the kind that couldn't be recognized if they were thrown into a crowd.
To be honest, this was the necessary quality of a spy. Unless it was a honey trap, the handsome agents in his previous life, who would be the center of attention no matter where they went, would want to be spies? Haha … the corpses would probably appear in the mass graves the next day!
"You go spread the news and mobilize people. Just say … wait!"
The spy leader's expression changed. "Let's move first! The Jiedu County's action this time was unexpected. They might have some top secret information! If River Earl of Nujiang sells us out, then it will be very dangerous! "
After all, he was someone who had been a spy for many years. As soon as there was the slightest movement, he immediately smelled something wrong.
"Move? Then the family business … "
Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other.
"Burn all the letters! Take only gold and silver, and leave now! "
The leader was very bold, and his eyes seemed to be slightly red. "I know you are reluctant! I am even more reluctant! But if we don't leave now, it won't be a problem of the family business anymore, but of the family! Do you think … after doing these things, that Wu Zhi woman will still spare us? "
"Sir is right! I was blinded by lard before … "
The two subordinates weren't stupid. After being reminded, they also reacted and nodded repeatedly.
"You are indeed decisive. What a pity!"
At this moment, a thin voice passed through the wall and directly entered, causing the three of them to change their expressions.
Ding ding!
The sound of scale armor dragging on the ground resounded, as well as the sound of dense footsteps. Impressively, this place had already been surrounded.
The opponent was like an extremely shrewd hunter, slowly closing the trap. When the trap was activated, it was already too late to turn back. No matter how the prey struggled, it was useless!
At this time, from the strong confidence in the opponent's words, it was clear that the opponent wasn't afraid of them escaping, and even had the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse.
"Let's go out!"
The leader picked up the long sword hanging on the wall, looked at the two subordinates, and said, "Today is the day to die for the court!"
When they came out of the door, they saw the flickering fire outside. There was actually a group of armored soldiers, tightly surrounding the inside and outside of the inn. Especially in front of the armored soldiers, there were a few families' women and children tied up, crying and panicking. Although they already had a guess in their hearts, Zhang San and Li Si still cursed, "Family members should not be harmed!"
"Cough, cough …"
In front of the armored soldiers, there were two generals. Their faces vaguely resembled each other. They were Chen Jingzong and Chen Shuncheng — this time, Wu Zhi paid a lot of attention to this matter, and specially sent these two military experts here to hold the line.
"Everyone is really patient, enduring for tens of years … cough, cough …"
Chen Jingzong still had a sickly look, but his eyes shone brightly like a ferocious tiger, making people not dare to look at him directly. "We are the government! What we pay attention to is the consequences! If one person breaks the law, the whole clan will be punished! We are not in the pugilistic world, isn't what the two of you said a joke? "
Zhang San and Li Si were stunned, speechless.
"Listen up!"
Chen Shuncheng took a step forward, swept his long spear, and said, "Surrender immediately, tell us how to go offline, and we can still spare your families, otherwise …"
Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other, immediately moved.
But immediately, a sword tip protruded out of their chests, and it was stained with blood.
"Leader, you …"
The two of them fell, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Loyalty and justice cannot be served at the same time. Brothers, don't blame me, I will accompany you later!"
The leader looked at his family again, and his heart hardened. Suddenly, he raised his sword, and a cold light flashed as he killed his way into the armored soldiers.
"Hmph! Stubborn, struggling on your deathbed! Kill! "
Chen Shuncheng waved his hand, and the armored soldiers surged forward …
"Uncle!"
After a while, the armored soldiers went forward to search the house, and everything was done smoothly. Chen Shuncheng cut off the heads of the three people, and there was anger on his face. "This leader's martial arts are not bad, but he managed to kill two of my personal guards while struggling on his deathbed!"
"Cough cough … Now you know how powerful a cornered beast is, right?"
Chen Jingzong coughed repeatedly. "You must remember in the future, do not force the enemy into a desperate situation unless you have an absolute advantage! Your uncle, I, will retire from the army sooner or later. What happens to the Chen family in the future will depend on you … "
"Uncle!"
Chen Shuncheng's eyes turned red. "Your injury …"
"Heh! What is there to be afraid of as a militarist? I know that if I retire from the army and recuperate, I might have a few more years, or else … "
Chen Jingzong shook his head. "You still have to meet the provincial governor later, don't act like a little girl!"
"Yes!"
Chen Shuncheng wiped away his tears and got on his horse with Chen Jingzong. Then, he brought the documents and secret letters they found, and they went to the provincial governor's mansion.
…
"Reporting to the provincial governor! The traitors have been killed, and this is the evidence! "
The scenery in the back garden was tranquil. Chen Jingzong and Chen Shuncheng walked a few steps, and they suddenly felt their hearts clear. They saw Wu Zhi and Wu Ming sitting in the pavilion, and they immediately went forward to greet them.
"Good!"
Wu Zhi nodded slightly. "Since the main culprit has been eliminated, the other members must also be caught in one fell swoop. Not a single one of them can be missed!"
Then, he said, "Thunder is as powerful as thunder this time, and you have done a good job, so I have to reward you!"
A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Wu Ming.
"Hehe … My beloved wife is trying to take advantage of me again!"
Wu Ming smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a wooden box floated down.
"This is …"
After Chen Jingzong opened it, he saw a faint bloody aura inside, and there were a few smooth scales with the might of a dragon. His heart skipped a beat.
