Black Book

Chapter 345 On the verge of breaking out

The emperor's move was like a carrot hanging over everyone's head, making everyone hesitant.

There are only a few princes who have the hope of becoming the first emperor. The chance is only a few percent, which is not high, but not small either!
If there is still hope, who can make up their mind to launch a coup?
That would involve the lives and property of nine clans!

There were nearly a hundred dukes in the founding of the country, why are there only a few left now?

It’s because he stood on the wrong side in every succession of the throne!
But... in the end, only one person can ascend to the supreme throne. The old man estimated that someone would eventually be unable to hold back and take the first step.

At that time, they will be able to put all the blame on that person and clear away all obstacles in the chaos in the name of justice!
Of course, others must think so too, it just depends on... who can’t bear it first!

The old man narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, like a cold poisonous snake.

………………

Time passes day by day, the New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and the cold wind from the Far North brings heavy snow, covering the earth with a layer of silver.

Although their lives are hard, the people at the bottom are still happily preparing to welcome the New Year and praying that the coming year will be better.

In the upper aristocratic circles, the turbulent atmosphere became more and more strange and solemn. Even the students of the [Royal Martial Academy] were affected and became cautious and taciturn.

Everyone could feel that terrifying energy was accumulating beneath the water.

Once it breaks out, the world will be turned upside down!
The entire upper echelons of the imperial capital will undergo a major reshuffle!

In this suffocating and tense atmosphere, Zhu Haomiao was like an outsider, advancing his plan in an orderly manner. He helped the [Yanhuang Arsenal] to improve quickly, while deducing and completing the fourth level of the eight basic forces.

"Commander, the technique you provided has been recorded. From now on, all those who redeem it to learn it will pay you a patent fee."

Inside the [Yanhuang Arsenal], Huaixu respectfully returned the [Dragon Emblem] to Zhu Haomiao, hesitated for a moment, and reported in a low voice.

"In addition, the [real objects] that were seized previously have already been auctioned off outside, and a total of 5829 real points were obtained."

"You will get 70% of it. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"Although my plundering authority is scarce, 70% is still too much. Let's say 50%."

The psychological feelings of a 70% and a 50% dividend are completely different, and the enthusiasm is also very different.

The purpose of giving benefits is to encourage the people of [Yanhuang Arsenal] to capture various wanted criminals. Then he can not only divide the money, but also take advantage of a [Sloth] secret ceremony. Isn't that wonderful?

On the other side, Huaixu's eyes lit up with joy when he heard the young man's words, and he admired him sincerely.

"Commander is so generous!"

The Adventers are also human beings. Who doesn’t like a generous and magnanimous boss who can help them make a lot of money?
Even if this boss is a little bit evil, it's just a minor flaw in a perfect piece of jade!

"By the way, Song Li used a tube of [real thing] potion on me before. You can reimburse her at double the value and deduct it from my share."

"understood."

"In addition, after the next batch of pioneers arrive, they can go to the Anti-Theft Division under my jurisdiction for 'internship'. On the one hand, I can provide them with virtual points of compensation, and on the other hand, I can also provide them with actual combat opportunities and intelligence support. It's a win-win situation."

After saying that, Zhu Haomiao suddenly paused and added with a strange look in his eyes, "However, you must explain to them clearly that they must not practice the secret method of the Anti-Theft Bureau. I deduced it based on the magic skills of the indigenous people, and it has great hidden dangers."

Hearing this, Huaixu nodded nonchalantly.

"I see."

[Yanhuang Arsenal] There are tens of thousands of magical skills and secret manuals, all of which are carefully selected from the best goods in the world. Who would be so bored as to practice the indigenous magic skills with hidden dangers?
If that doesn’t work, aren’t the eight basic powers better?
………………

After completing the work arrangements for the [Yanhuang Arsenal], Zhu Haomiao just walked out of the door when he suddenly sensed the stars shifting, dragons and snakes rising from the land, and murderous intent suddenly appeared!
In the dark, the energy that has accumulated to the extreme tends to erupt!

"According to the time, the King of Yue will soon arrive in the capital area. It seems that someone can no longer hold back..."

Sensing the chaotic and bizarre secrets of the universe, Zhu Haomiao rubbed his chin and chuckled thoughtfully.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Haomiao returned to the Yanhuang Arsenal, gave careful instructions, and then rushed to the Anti-Theft Division, where he gathered all his subordinates and notified them to enter a state of alert and preparation for war.

Although the boy did not say it explicitly, everyone understood from his words that something big was about to happen!
Considering the various rumors recently, everyone is feeling both terrified and excited, with a sense of honor that they are about to witness or even participate in history.

After a few more days, the heartstrings that were stretched to the limit finally broke!

Late one night, the whole city was suddenly filled with shouts of killing. The [Pingyang Marquis' Mansion] close to the imperial city felt a surge of energy sweeping across the sky and earth. Zhu Haomiao jumped onto the roof and looked to the west. From a spiritual perspective, he saw a huge glass bowl that seemed to be real, upside down on the imperial city, resisting wave after wave of attacks.

Squinting his eyes, Zhu Haomiao went straight to Lechangfang without hesitation, ready to mobilize all forces to perform his duties and prevent the situation from getting completely out of control.

However, just as he was on his way to Lechangfang, strong energy fluctuations came from all directions. The entire imperial capital turned into a battlefield, with masters fighting everywhere.

"You guys turned a good coup into a big mess. How can we build a good empire with a bunch of insects like you?!"

Seeing that the struggle that was originally confined to the upper class was spreading to the lower-class people, Zhu Haomiao muttered resentfully, quickened his pace, and turned into a stream of light and shot towards Lechangfang.

Soon, they arrived at the Anti-Theft Bureau. Yan Yunsheng and others, who were on high alert at any time, had bright yellow silk scarves with dragon patterns wrapped around their arms and were anxiously waiting for his arrival.

The moment they saw the young man, everyone seemed to have found their backbone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"There will be other friendly troops tonight, using this dragon-patterned silk scarf as a symbol. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy."

"Respect!"

The uniform roars split rocks and pierced the clouds. Nearly a thousand murderous warriors, driven by Zhu Haomiao, swarmed out and covered the nine towns under his rule like mercury pouring out of the ground.

However, the power of these natives is still too small, and they can only play the role of protecting the basic base. What really determines the direction of the world line is the arrival of the [Yanhuang Arsenal].

"Huai Xu."

"Yes, Commander."

"Do you know what that is?"

Standing on the top of the tallest building in Lechangfang, Zhu Haomiao looked at the huge glazed shield in the direction of the imperial city and asked softly without looking away.
