Mr. Xu looked at the heroic Li Yu, who controlled the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in one county and eight counties. His eyes flickered.
He was able to look at fengshui and luck. Even though he only had half the skill, he was still taken in as a guest of the Li family and was treated with great courtesy.
This time, Li Yu's aura had changed greatly. He had already secretly merged his Luck with the Li Family and started to support the Dragon Court. Thus, he could see some auras.
Looking over, he saw that the clouds above Li Yu's head had formed into a majestic cloud. The golden-red light shone brightly, and there seemed to be a snake in the middle of the cloud, breathing in and out red energy and golden light. This was the sign of nobility, and more importantly, the main character. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As a subject who was ordered by the ruler to govern the land, even if his luck was great, he would at most have the appearance of a seal.
However, those who could transform into dragons, snakes, pythons, carps, and even tigers and wolves were the embodiment of a human master, proof of their ambition and independence.
"With this appearance, as well as the time of the heavens, it truly is a change in fate. There will be great riches and honor!"
In his heart, Mister Xu was slightly excited. "If I hadn't already been a Warlock of the Li Clan, and if I hadn't officially attached myself to the Li Clan, I might have even suffered a backlash if I peeked at the root …"
Then, he thought of Li Yu's recent actions.
Although the Wang family's rebellion was suppressed, Li Zhen was seriously injured and could not manage the affairs. Li Yu immediately removed the county magistrate who was originally on the side of the Wang family and appointed himself as the acting county magistrate. With the help of County Lieutenant Xing Ju, he dealt with a few county magistrates with Thunder and Thunder. His methods were ruthless and made it impossible for outsiders to take advantage of him.
Now that the prefectural city was stabilized, Li Yu immediately mobilized all the officials in the prefecture to submit a petition, especially the Prefectural Lieutenant and a series of military officials with real power, to jointly recommend him as the Prefectural Premier.
At this time, the imperial court only had a title, but no power. The prefecture was also in a mess.
Furthermore, after obtaining military power, not many people would put in the effort to pacify the situation. It would definitely be approved, and everyone would gain face.
In this way, as long as he slowly recuperated for a few years, Li Zhen would be able to smoothly hand over the position of the prefectural governor. Then, he would truly be turning Chu Feng County into a military town!
Of course, compared to the Wang Clan, the Li Clan was still lacking in accumulation, so they still had to borrow the name of the Imperial Court, but that was all.
Everyone in Dingzhou knew who the true ruler of Chu Feng County was.
"This kid was ordinary before, and his karmic luck was ordinary as well. Why is he like this now? Could it be that the Dragon Qi was deeply hidden and would only be released when the time came? Was it because my cultivation was shallow and I couldn't see the truth? "
Mr. Xu saw that Li Yu was behaving like a dragon or a tiger, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.
Ever since he had ascended to the throne, he had suppressed dissidents, promoted trusted aides, and even dealt with traitors. Everything had been done in a methodical manner. Before the other families could react, he had already established the general situation. He had truly obtained the key to rapid development.
Furthermore, he was about to marry the daughter of County Lieutenant Xing Ju as his official wife. This was the first step in the unification of the military and politics. Under such circumstances, no one could stop him.
"Mr. Xu!"
At this moment, Li Yu suddenly spoke.
"I'm here!"
Mr. Xu's legs went soft. He didn't dare to look Li Yu in the eye and knelt down.
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Li Yu looked at the bustling City God Temple that had dispersed. His eyes were a little gloomy.
His own changes, as well as the feeling that everything had gone smoothly ever since he met the Taoist, were extremely mysterious, and increased his suspicions. Therefore, he ordered people to investigate in secret.
"Young Master, please forgive me!" Mr. Xu broke out in a cold sweat. "I've already searched through the Taoist records in Chu Feng County. There's no Taoist who fits the description that you've mentioned. He might be a visitor from another county, or a rogue cultivator from the mountains …"
"Investigate for me! Find out who this person is at all costs! "
Although Li Yu didn't know the inside story regarding the secret of the Dragon Qi, he always wore the Coiled Dragon Jade Pendant around his neck and didn't dare to take it off.
He had a feeling that everything would go smoothly with the jade pendant on him. He was even more certain that the Taoist he met that day was an extraordinary person. His eyes were a little gloomy.
"Rumor has it that when the world is in chaos, the Taoists always like to come out and obtain the Dragon Veins. They secretly support them and gain merit … That Taoist, which branch does he belong to? Can I subdue him and make him my subordinate? "
How could the Flood Dragon endure being restrained? At this moment, Li Yu was thinking of subduing him and making him his subordinate.
If he couldn't, he could only kill him.
Otherwise, if such an extraordinary technique fell into the hands of the enemy, wouldn't it be aiding the enemy?
…
"It's better for me not to interfere in the battle between the human path authorities and the divine path!"
Wu Ming observed from the outside for a moment. He even saw that the City God Spiritual Land was in ruins. He immediately turned around and left.
The county officials had the protection of the human path aura formed by the law of hundreds of thousands of people. The City God Temple also had a hundred years of accumulation. Although the king was in a deep sleep, the divine officials and nether soldiers were still there.
Although he also had the Dragon Qi, it was a rootless tree and duckweed without water. Every bit he used was a bit less, so he didn't need to force himself into it.
"Also … to kill the City God, I have to enter the netherworld with my Yin Spirit … Only a Perfected One has formed his Essence Spirit and doesn't fear danger. Even if I use the extraordinary technique and Dharma treasure to force my way into the City God Spiritual Land, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the nether soldiers to surround and kill me. Forget it …"
Wu Ming was an extremely decisive person. Once he confirmed that things couldn't be done, he immediately turned around and left.
At this moment, although there was a period of chaos, Li Yu managed the entire county city well. The entire county city seemed to have recovered its former prosperity.
Wu Ming found Wu Tiehu and the two immediately got on the carriage and left the city.
"Let's go home!"
"Alright!"
Hearing that he could finally go back, Wu Tiehu was a little excited and cracked his whip loudly.
As for Wu Ming, he half leaned on the soft cushion, but the brilliance in his eyes kept flickering.
This time, when he entered the county city, he first gave the Dragon Qi, then broke the City God's plan, and then pursued and killed the remaining evil. Each and every one of them was extremely dangerous and powerful like Thunder.
Yet, he could still retreat after accomplishing his mission. Even those who knew of his existence were few. He was really lucky.
"It's fine to take risks once or twice, but if it happens too many times, there will eventually be trouble …"
Wu Ming sighed and spread his arms in satisfaction, "Luckily … after this matter is settled, there will be a period of peace … Wait, I seem to have forgotten something?"
"Good job, Wu Ming, I've finally caught you!"
A fragrant wind blew past, and a beautiful figure floated into the carriage. Wu Tiehu, who was outside, lowered his head and focused on driving the carriage. Not only did he not dare to stop her, he even wished for nothing more than to become blind and deaf.
"Sister … you haven't left yet?"
Wu Ming looked at Wu Qing and laughed dryly.
Just as he was about to say something, Wu Qing's dainty eyes glared at him like a sword. She stretched out her jade-like hand and made a gesture to twist her ear, "What else are you hiding from me? Hurry up and tell me the truth! "
…
Spring had returned, and it was suddenly warm but then cold again.
Unknowingly, the spring of March had arrived.
Flowers bloomed, and willows sprouted. It was a scene full of vitality.
In the fields outside the fort, there were already the silhouettes of farmers busying themselves.
For these farmers and tenants of the lowest class, the changes in the prefecture capital had little to do with them.
On the contrary, if they missed the sowing in spring, their harvest for the year would go down the drain. Even if their entire family did not freeze to death next year, they would still have to endure hunger. Thus, it was of utmost importance.
"I have nothing to do, so I read …"
In the study, the heater was still on, and the windows were opened, allowing the bright and beautiful spring sunshine to shine in.
On the other hand, Wu Ming was wearing a coarse hemp robe and lying on a soft chair. There was even an ancient book covering his face.
"You're slacking off again!"
Wu Qing stormed in angrily. Behind her was Li Xiuyun, who had changed into a dress. Her face was flushed red, and she looked rather adorable. She was even holding a plate in her hands.
"I've made some pastries. Brother, have a taste!"
Wu Qing had changed into her female clothes and walked over to Wu Ming's side. She casually took down the book, and upon seeing that it was a novel of unofficial history, she became even more exasperated. "You're wasting your time!"
"Haha … This is called stealing a day's rest!"
Wu Ming casually took a piece of pastry, and it melted in his mouth, bringing with it the fragrance of flower petals. He couldn't help but praise, "Drinking the dew of the magnolia in the morning, feasting on the fallen petals of the autumn chrysanthemum in the evening … Sister, your culinary skills are getting better and better. I wouldn't trade this life for anything else!"
"Shut up!"
Wu Qing reprimanded with a smile. "If you like it, I'll make it for you every day …"
Hearing those words, Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Back then, when he was captured and interrogated, he couldn't tell the truth. As such, he could only tell what he could. As for the things that he couldn't say, it would put his life in danger. Wu Qing was worried about her younger brother, so she didn't dare to ask too many questions.
But soon after, the woman stayed in the fort. Obviously, she wanted to observe him closely. It was as if she wanted to make up for the lack of care in the past few years. She was extremely considerate and took care of his life, causing Wu Ming to be unable to bear it.
"How's my hundred mu of farmland now?"
Wu Ming scratched his head as he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Old Sun and his men are taking care of it personally. They're using a waterwheel, and the ammonia fertilizer that you mentioned …" Wu Qing replied casually. A hint of doubt surfaced on her face, "Will this method work?"
"I don't know either. In any case, it's only a hundred mu of farmland, so there's no harm in giving it a try …"
Wu Ming chuckled softly.
In his previous life, agriculture was highly developed, and he had read about some specious theories in novels. It was a pity that he couldn't remember much of it. Thus, after sorting out a few theories, he ordered his men to open up a hundred mu of farmland as a form of entertainment.
Food was the most important thing to the people. The importance that the ancient agricultural empires placed on crops was unimaginable to modern people.
As such, even Wu Ming didn't dare to make any drastic changes. Instead, he ordered his men to open up an experimental plot for him to test it out.
In fact, even a hundred mu of farmland was a little too much for the Wu Clan, which only had twenty hectares of farmland. Even the son of the first wife would at most be given ten mu of farmland.
However, Wu Qing and Wu Ming were different. They were both Daoists, and they were sorcerers.
Even the little toys that they made casually could produce a harvest of a thousand mu in a single year! If they were willing to delay their cultivation, they would have to expand the area by several times. As such, regardless of whether it was Wu Qing or Wu Ming, they didn't attach much importance to a hundred mu of farmland.
On the other hand, Old Sun, the head of the village, had to live and eat on the farmland just to take care of his ancestors.
