In the Heavens

With the opening of the era of great mergers, the world has become more and more chaotic, and the princes of all walks of life are desperately expanding their power.

Li Mu, who took the lead in expanding and ate the first piece of fat, naturally became the target of all parties.

Facts have proved once again that it is not easy to be an early bird. After annexing the land of Wuyue, princes from all walks of life in the world regarded him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

But nothing to regret. Starting a business in the southwest frontier, if you don't make a name for yourself, how can you attract talents to join you?

Merging the land of Wuyue is different. Li Mu occupies nearly a quarter of the 108 prefectures of the thirteen prefectures in the southwest + two Lingnan prefectures + the land of Wuyue.

The king of Chu, who was originally expected to be high, is still stuck in a dilemma in the south of the Lingnan. Fighting for hegemony in troubled times is slow step by step, slow step by step.

Once the land of Wuyue is digested, Li Mu is bound to launch a war to unify the southern states. Unless the king of Chu can annex all the remaining southern states and counties, it will be difficult to take advantage of the next confrontation.

Obviously, this is impossible. Not everyone can cheat. According to the normal rhythm of the war, even if the battle of Lingnan went smoothly, it would drag him down for several years.

For no other reason, it is because the area is too large. Each state has a territory of millions of square kilometers, and there are thousands of large and small cities in it, and there are a lot of problems involved, how can it be solved in a short period of time?

Even Li Mu, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately turned to a defensive state after encroaching on Wuyue's land, and began to digest the spoils.

There is no way, it is really hard to eat. If you don't stop and take a break, the bureaucracy will have to collapse.

If there is no force to intervene, the battle in the south is basically clear, and it is only a matter of time before Li Mu wins.

Although the probability of unifying the world from the south is not high, it depends on the situation. As long as the northern princes unify the south and launch the Northern Expedition before the northern princes decide the winner, it will be completely different.

Compared with the princes from all walks of life in the world, Li Mu's first-mover advantage is already very obvious. Such an obvious advantage is enough for people to let go of their prejudices and fight for a fortune.

Talents from all over the world recommend themselves every day. The recruiting platform, which used to have little sense of existence, has now become the hottest yamen.

The influx of a large number of talents gave Li Mu the confidence not to be a bird of the Wuyue family. Those who follow me may not necessarily prosper, but those who go against me will definitely perish.

The practice of suppressing the aristocratic family naturally made many people unhappy. After all, everyone was born in a wealthy family, but they also won the support of many insightful people.

As long as the knife doesn't cut itself, it is acceptable to damage class interests. For many wealthy families in decline, there is no chance if they don't reshuffle their cards.

As for the strength of the boss, that's just a small problem. Throughout ancient and modern times, there is no founding monarch who is not strong, and only a strong boss can win the final victory in the dragon race.

Including many aristocratic families who were suppressed, after confirming that the opposition was invalid, they also chose to accept their fate. What the aristocratic family is fighting for is the long-term, and the short-term gains and losses are not important.

Imperial power and aristocratic families are a seesaw, just take it slow. In the middle and late stages of the dynasty, it is time for them to exert their strength. The most important thing now is to keep the right to speak.

For the aristocratic family, losing the right to speak in politics is undoubtedly a disaster. This means that they will eventually become meat on the chopping board and a meal on someone else's plate.

The land of Wuyue gradually calmed down, but the situation in the world did not stabilize. The ancient emperor, who was blamed, has once again become a public enemy of the world, and all forces wish to tear him apart.

It's a pity that the ending is destined to be disappointing. Aware of the bad ancient times, he directly chose silence.

Immortal gods are not invincible, nor can they stop the alliance of all forces, let alone a wounded immortal god.

Knowing that he was blamed, Gu Zhou couldn't explain it. The Yin Qi left at the scene has already pointed the finger at the Ghost Dao branch.

This account is not recorded on him, the boss, who else can it be recorded on?

Looking at the world, besides him, a ghost, a fairy god, who else has this strength?

Nether ghosts, dragon courts in the underworld. Glancing at the ghosts, Gu Zhou asked indifferently, "Did you find that mysterious ghost?"

As the founder of the line of ghosts, Gu Zhou has a strong deterrent effect on the world's ghosts. Now it seems that there is a ghost god that is beyond his control, so he can't help but be careless.

It's fine to be a scapegoat, the debt is too much, and he, the ancient emperor, doesn't mind offending all the forces more severely.

But it would be a tragedy if peaches were picked at the critical moment of the battle.

"Your Majesty, the mysterious ghost just disappeared in the land of Wuyue. After plotting against the powerhouses of various forces, it quickly disappeared and looked for traces, as if it had never appeared before.

We sent people to the land of Wuyue to investigate, and found that all the local ghosts were slaughtered in retaliation by various forces, and no clues were left behind.

The only thing that is certain is that the yin qi remaining at the scene is very pure, even the ghost emperor like me can't compare to it, I'm afraid it's only..."

Glancing at Gu Zhou's face, the red-haired old ghost resolutely swallowed back the words that followed. The yin energy left at the scene was purer than that of his own boss, so he really didn't dare to say such things.

The human race occupies most of the energy in the world, and it is very difficult for the aliens to cultivate. For ghosts, yin qi is similar to the spiritual qi cultivated by humans, and pure yin qi represents advanced cultivation.

If there is a strong man in the ghost path whose cultivation level surpasses that of his majesty, what will happen next, the red-haired old ghost dare not think about it.

With the clues broken, it will be even more difficult to find the ghost. What worries Gu Zhou even more is that even if he finds out the ghost, he has nothing to do with him.

Although it has been several years, he still hasn't recovered to his peak. The wounds left by the battle were all healed, but the wounds left by the backlash of humanity could not be healed for a long time.

Under the current background, if he dares to take the lead, he will immediately be liquidated by all forces.

Those old forces that have been passed down from ancient times, who do not have a few tricks to suppress the bottom of the box. If all of them were used on him, Gu Zhou couldn't help it.

"Since I have shot once, there will be a second time. I ordered the ghosts everywhere to keep their eyes open and report any clues immediately.

Before we find the mysterious ghost, we need to suspend all previous plans. Now we need to be patient. "

These words were not only spoken to his subordinate ghosts, but also to Gu Zhou himself. The Great Emperor, who has traversed the ages, actually reminded himself to be patient. If it was spread out, it would definitely scare many people.

But in the face of cruel reality, Gu Zhou couldn't help being careless.

"The heaven and the earth are all in one force, and the hero is not free when transported away."

The great luck on his body has dissipated, and now he is just an ordinary fairy god, and he will no longer have the same style as before.

...

In the Southwest Palace, there was a din of gongs, drums and firecrackers at the moment. Anyone who saw it could tell that it was a happy event.

From the smiling faces of the ministers in and out, it can be seen that the happy marriage event has finally officially started.

This time it was done by the main line. It is mainly the credit of the ancient emperor. The disappearance case that occurred in the land of Wuyue has aroused the concerns of various forces.

As the top four great powers in the world, they also have a sense of crisis at this moment, and they dare not have too much fun in the dragon battle.

Simply everyone is in a group, and the dragon battle will continue, but the intensity of the struggle must be reduced.

It doesn't matter what method is used to deal with other Qianlongs, but when the Qianlongs supported by each of the four families fight among themselves, the power of the Yuanshen level must not appear on the battlefield.

Marriage is one of the guarantees. Even if the Qianlong he supported fails, he still has the opportunity to choose again.

It can not only embrace the beauty, but also reduce the obstacles on the road to hegemony. Li Mu really couldn't refuse such a good deed.

Everything has two sides. As the groom's official, Li Mu's life in the mansion has not been so easy recently. The concubines in the front all entered the door in a sedan chair, but this wave is the marriage of Ming media with drums and gongs.

A woman's jealousy is terrible. If you want to enjoy the blessings of being equal to others, you must first endure the test of the Shura field.

In fact, the palace fight drama started from the wedding ceremony. The three people who are marrying now are all noble daughters of aristocratic families, and it is a question of who comes first.

It is impossible for anyone to give in, not only the status of the three of them, but also the face of the powerful family, no one can be inferior.

In order to balance this problem, the palace even widened the gate, allowing three bridal sedan chairs to enter at the same time.

Fortunately, the right to speak is in the hands of these companies, and some literati are in charge of washing the ground, otherwise this is a farce.

With the addition of three mistresses, the palace has transitioned from a single family to a four-legged power era.

Watching Gongdou drama is enjoyment, but it is completely different when it happens to oneself.

Fortunately, this is the feudal era, no matter how much trouble there is, it must revolve around him as the protagonist, otherwise it will be really difficult to settle.

The strife on the surface has subsided, but the struggle in the dark has continued. Now Li Mu really admired the senior traveler, he was able to deal with all the Yingyingyanyans and make them give up.

When it came to me, it completely changed. If it's really about feelings, it's probably the most sincere one in the last world. Now he has developed a friendship with the witch for a long time, and the rest is purely a combination of interests.

Although the side effects are not small, the benefits are real. In the eyes of the outside world, the marriage with the three powerful families means that Li Mu got the ticket to the port of Shengli.

Also receiving this honor are the four major seed players in the north. As for the remaining princes, they still need to continue to work hard.

There is no way, this is the human heart. After ten thousand years of management, the influence of the powerful family has penetrated into all aspects of this world.

In the minds of the people of the world, if one wants to win the battle for the dragon in troubled times, one must first obtain the approval of the four powerful families.

Now Li Mu fully understands Emperor Sui Yang's feelings of suppressing the aristocratic family. The existence of these guys is really too great a threat to the imperial power.

Fortunately, the four powerful families are all in the north, and there is no conflict of core interests between the two parties, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable.

The power of a powerful family is all-round, but to defeat them, you only need to kill the high-end power.

The wall fell and everyone pushed. In this era when great power belongs to oneself, if a high-end aristocratic family is lost, it will also be reduced to meat on the cutting board.

Of course, suppressing the aristocratic family is secondary, the key is to accept their legacy.

With the negative example of Emperor Sui Yang, Li Mu would not take the lead in spreading hatred.

Needless to say, at this time, it is necessary to summon the Ancient Universe Emperor. As the best back-up man in history, only the ancient emperor can take on this great task.
