I'm the only player

Chapter 467 [Military Power]

When the guardian of Tianli Sect was escaping with the outer god, the sky behind him suddenly darkened. He turned back subconsciously, and then he didn't care about running away, and suddenly stood there in a daze.

Damn it! !

What the hell is this?

A giant statue that reaches from heaven to earth blocks the sky.

It is as small as dust.

Wait a minute, why does this person look familiar to me?

Hmm. How come he is the target that my mother needs to eliminate!

Even though He Sheng's soul had shrunk by nine-tenths, its quality had increased several times. He still had all the abilities he should have.

As for the soul, let alone becoming bigger, even twisting it into a problem is effortless. Unfortunately, it can't compare with the souls of those great masters who can change reality and travel through countless worlds at will.

Of course, it cannot be compared with those with great supernatural powers, but if the target is changed to the guardian of the Tianli Sect, this kind of inferior creature, which cannot even be called a soul, is far superior to them.

A huge hand reached out and grabbed the dark humanoid Outer God.

If possible, he really doesn't want to use his hands, for no other reason than it's dirty!

The next second, the Ten Thousand Bones Soul-Calming Seal appeared in his hand.

"Come in you."

There was nothing useful on hand at the moment, so I could only try to use the Corpse Mountain to see if I could suppress the opponent. As a result, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Originally, the guardian of the Tianli Sect, who was held in the palm of the hand and kept struggling, immediately calmed down after being sealed in the corpse. The expression on his dark face changed continuously, as if he was under tremendous pressure.

"Snapped!"

The instigator slapped his forehead. The Ten Thousand Bones Soul-Calming Seal, soul-calming, soul-calming, he should have thought of it earlier. No matter what the other party's dark body is, its essence is still the transformation of the soul.

Of course, in his opinion, the other party was simply going in the wrong direction, and it was better not to transform. Things like souls were full of impurities, and the purity of ordinary people's souls could beat it by more than ten streets.

"It's a pity that a corner of it was broken."

Wait a minute, didn't the half-human, half-ghost guardian of the Tianli Sect lose his body? In addition, the corpses of several Qi training barbarians seem to be able to make up for it.

Moreover, if their corpses were used to supplement the mountain of corpses, perhaps the Ten Thousand Bones Soul-Calming Seal would become even stronger.

Thinking of this, his spirit immediately returned to his body.

After a while, the corpses of the dead barbarian men and the black bones of the Tianli Sect's guardians who had been skinned and bones pulled out were thrown onto the huge mountain of corpses floating in the air.

"call--"

A burst of pure golden flame sprayed onto the corpses, and then all the bones were "sewn" onto the broken corner of the mountain of corpses.

"good."

The "good" he mentioned refers to the golden flames.

This thing is quite special. It represents the unity of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It is the product of the melting pot of the five internal organs.

Furnace, furnace, you can imagine the power of flames.

It can both melt objects and enhance the properties of weapons.

Not long ago, a flame spewed onto the mountain of corpses, causing the mountain to burst out with even more powerful power. This was its blessing.

In addition, it is also relatively convenient to refine some things, which is a bit like a panacea.

After a while, the broken corner of the mountain of corpses was repaired.

The color is only slightly different from before, with a few golden lines on the white bone mountain. Unfortunately, there are too few, too few, and unless you look closely, you can't see those tiny golden lines. Or, in the dark space, you can see a little bit of light gold.

"Could it be that it needs more corpses of powerful people, all of which need to be transformed from white to gold, before it can be complete?"

There is no way. The information that was instilled into my mind after the completion of "The Great Stone Opener" was not explained in detail. The same goes for the Tianli Sect. Why don't they make it clearer?

In fact, the Tianli Sect is pretty good. At least it provides some information so that people don't have to grope around from scratch and lack even some basic knowledge.

Who says that after reaching Consummation, the practitioners will be reincarnated in general? By then, the Dharma Protectors who originally created the technique will be reincarnated successfully. Who can understand the technique that they have practiced for countless years better than them?

"Go back first."

In the mountain of corpses of the Ten Thousand Bones Soul-Calming Seal, there are a man and a ghost being suppressed.

"what!"

He quickly reached out to call back the pile of corpses, only to see a man and a ghost in the pile, both dying. Apparently, the golden flames had nearly burned them to death.

“I was careless.”

Mr. He swore to God that he definitely didn't mean it.

"噌~~~"

The figure disappeared and ran rapidly towards Taiyue Mansion.

Not long after, a black bear poked its head out of the cave and looked at the devastated land with a confused look on its face.

Taiyue Prefecture, a thousand households.

Wu Ming, who was once again pulled out of the secret training room, had a calm expression and did not complain. For no other reason, he was completely calm after knowing that the new residence of the Right Thousand Household was built with funds from the Ministry of Works of the Imperial Court and that its specifications far exceeded those of the Royal Palace.

You can mess around with the entire Shanzhou. It's your backyard after all. It doesn't matter as long as you don't cause a massacre.

"this."

As He Sheng spoke, he manipulated the mountain of corpses to release the imprisoned giant barbarian from the Outer God Realm.

"Barbarian."

"???"

Wu Ming was stunned at first, then his expression changed drastically and his eyes almost popped out.

"Outer God Realm!"

The realm above the Qi training realm is named because in the Qi training realm, one has to hone oneself to the extreme and cannot advance any further, so one has to transform into cultivating the spirit and soul and condense an outer god that can walk in broad daylight.

He, the captain of the Shanzhou Captain's Office, had only been in contact with the Outer God Realm for a short time and had not yet formally condensed an Outer God. As a result, the Right Captain, whose subordinates were causing trouble everywhere, suddenly threw out a barbarian from the Outer God Realm. The impact was extremely strong.

It’s probably like a close friend of yours suddenly confesses his love to you, shocking you and shattering your entire worldview.

"he"

"He led a group of people to kill me."

"!!!"

No, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

An Outer God leads a group of people to kill you?
Not only did you not die, you also successfully killed the enemy.

"And there it is."

The next second, the guardian of Tianli Sect appeared beside the giant man.

"?!"

Wu Ming was so confused that if he was not mistaken, this thing should be an alien god, an alien god that could walk in broad daylight.

"What the hell are you?"

No, this kid's aura is clearly at the damn Qi training stage.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Wu Ming sat on the chair, looking a little confused.

If he remembered correctly, it had been less than a year since the other party joined the household department and became a captain?

Then, he made rapid progress from training Qi into the body to the Qi training realm.

"Take your time to think about it. Anyway, I'll leave these two to you."

After he finished speaking, He Sheng left the Qianhu Office and headed for the yamen gate.

Yamen, back hall.

"Sir, please have some tea." The prefect placed a bowl of hot tea on the table, then stood aside respectfully, looking as if he was ready to be ordered around.

Strictly speaking, the Right Thousand Household is one level lower than the Prefect.

But sometimes, grade doesn’t mean anything.

At least, the prefect was as clear as a mirror in his heart, knowing that he would never be able to ask the emperor to build him a mansion that exceeded the specifications of a prince's palace.

"As for me, I just came back from the mountains."

After taking a sip of tea, the man surnamed He spoke. "Your Excellency is in a very refined mood." The ostensible Lord of Shanzhou flattered him. "How about I organize a group of people to go out with you tomorrow? Don't worry, they are guaranteed to be the ladies from the major families in Shanzhou."

"."

Well, the prefect has degenerated into a pimp.

No, that's not right.

At most, it can be considered as a matchmaker, or rather, a matchmaker.

"I was just relaxing outside, and the Tianli Cult people mixed up with the barbarians and suddenly jumped out to kill me. How could I be so vulnerable?"

"not easy!"

The prefect shook his head, his face full of agreement.

"I came to the government office today just to ask the prefect to seek justice for me."

My goodness! The prefect almost couldn’t hold it back.

Are you fucking okay?

If I could seek justice for you, I would have brought all the people in the Qianhu Division into submission, and there would be no room for you to be so presumptuous and confiscate properties at will!
"You are joking, my lord. I am a humble official with little influence. How can I seek justice for you?"

"Hey, you can't say that. You are the boss of Shanzhou."

Thank you so much!

Shanzhou boss?

It’s better to call me Shanzhou’s punching bag.

"Sir, the boss is often just an empty shell. As soon as I open my eyes, I have to take care of the food, drink, defecation and urination of the entire Shanzhou. It's too hard for me." The prefect was speaking from his heart. Not only did he have to please his superiors, but he also had to take care of the feelings of his subordinates. What's even more difficult is that there is a competitor next to him, not to mention that the competitor is powerful.

It must be so sad that he was able to hold on to the position of prefect.

"I heard that the prefect holds the power over more than 30,000 soldiers?"

So you are waiting for me here!
"My lord, it's not as much as thirty thousand."

The prefect sighed.

"How many is that?"

He Sheng asked with narrowed eyes.

"Just over ten thousand."

"Just over ten thousand?"

“Just over ten thousand!”

Damn, you are sucking the blood of soldiers and eating their salaries without paying them. It's too cruel of you to eat and take at the same time.

The prefect should have an army of 36,000 men under his command, but you told me that you only have a little over 10,000.

"My Lord, let me explain."

"You said."

The prefect organized his words and told the story slowly.

"Every year, the Ministry of War first verifies the number of troops and the amount of pay through the Kanhe system. Usually, this step requires a large amount of silver bribes. Otherwise, they would not dare to write 30,000 people as 15,000.

Next, the Ministry of Revenue allocated funds. The Ministry of Revenue would certainly deduct a portion, basically half every year. Only in this way could it fall into my hands.

After the two procedures, it would be good if there was a little over 10,000 left from the salary of 36,000 people. Therefore, not only did I not eat the empty salary, I did not even drink the blood of the soldiers, but I still could not meet the establishment of 36,000 people. "

"."

No wonder the barbarians attacked Tancheng by surprise, and Shanzhou Taiyuefu was left there to protect the big and the small. No wonder, a full staff of 36,000 people was just a small pain for the barbarians.

"Besides, even if the army is fully staffed, you cannot command the troops."

If he hands over the military power, that would be the end of his life.

"Governor, if I kill you, will the emperor punish me severely?"

"???"

No, we were chatting and suddenly you overturned the table.

"Look, I killed you and I was safe. You gave me military power and I was able to live for a while. So, you have to thank me because I prolonged your life."

Thank you, sir!

If you hadn't set your sights on my military power, I would have been able to live well.

"Choose."

He Sheng was not in a hurry at all, and the military power gave the other side a glimmer of hope.

Not giving?

Haha, you will definitely die.

"I can't give it to you."

What else could the prefect do? He could only agree.

The man had just been assassinated and was furious. If I said no, I was afraid that his head would disappear without a trace.

"Sir, I have an idea."

"Oh? Say it!"

Mr. He wanted to know what bad idea the prefect had.

"You want military power and want to fight the barbarians."

"Correct."

"It takes people to fight the barbarians, and it costs money to get people."

"Yes."

"But you are fighting the barbarians not for yourself, but for our Shanzhou and the imperial court."

"Well said, I am indeed doing this for the people and for the court!"

Not to mention, He Sheng felt full of justice for the first time.

"Then the money to suppress the barbarians needs to be paid by the people of Shanzhou. Otherwise, why would those dignitaries stand back and watch the show, enjoying the fruits of your success in expelling the barbarians?"

"My Lord, you really touched my heart."

You are a talented person!

"You and I will take the lead and pay a portion of the money. Who among the others will dare not pay? Anyone who does not pay is a spy of the barbarians."

After coming up with the bad idea, the prefect looked at the man named He with a little trepidation.

"Sir, aren't you afraid that I will spread the news?"

"No, sir. I am your most loyal lackey!"

surrender!

Since you can't do it, just surrender and I'll follow you.

"Okay, get ready, collect money and recruit soldiers."

"Yes."

He understood that if he was given the job of collecting money and recruiting soldiers, it would prove that they had initially accepted his surrender. After that, as long as he did a good job, his life would be safe.

"Fuck, barbarians, right? I can't find the Tianli Sect for the time being, but can't I find you?" He Sheng cursed as he left. If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would think he was afraid of those barbarians.

Today they dared to come all the way with the Tianli Sect's guardians to kill him, he didn't even dare to think about what they would do tomorrow.

The next day, almost all the wealthy people in Taiyue Prefecture received invitations from the prefect.

Although he is the ruler of a state only in name, and there is a "retired emperor" in secret, everyone chooses to go. The face that should be given should still be given.

Although I can't do anything to you, I can easily disgust you.

So, as soon as he arrived at the prefect's residence, he saw the "Emperor of Shanzhou" sitting on the main seat. The prefect, as the host, stood beside him and smiled, and his smile was so flattering.

Well, you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually choose to cling to You Qianhu?
After everyone arrived, the prefect coughed in a polite manner and spoke to everyone.

"Everyone, I invite you here because I have something important to discuss with you."

This one sentence made everyone present feel something was wrong.

As we all know, the "Emperor of Shanzhou" is a money-grubber! !
