Eternal Night

Chapter 291 The Only Request
Wu Xianxiao once again began to become a street thug in the city of Tokyo Bianliang.

Because they only had three days to stay, and Wu Xianxiao had to help the four newcomers get established in this world, so he naturally did not do anything fussy. He just took the four newcomers to the morning court and introduced them to the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty. This allowed the four to establish a first-level event-type shelter.

What happens next is the plans and actions of these four people.

Hadeyev and Yang Zhewan decided to read books first, especially history books. They wanted to understand the history and past of the dream world of the Song Dynasty.

Yu Luqi and Yu Qichen decided to first explore Tokyo Bianliang and its surrounding areas, as well as the cultural characteristics of this era, to prepare for the next development.

Since he saw the four newcomers working so hard, Wu Xianxiao naturally couldn't just lie down, so he chose to... stroll in the street, similar to declaring his sovereignty, so that as many people in the Song Dynasty as possible could see him.

This is actually a kind of protection. As long as he is safe, the four people he brought will also be safe. Even the extraordinary people in this world will never dare to provoke the "immortals" and "immortal disciples". This has almost become an iron law of this world.

However, this time, when Wu Xianxiao was strolling in the street, Zhao Fobao followed him silently like a little tail. Even though Wu Xianxiao said no, Zhao Fobao just lowered his head and shed tears, and still followed him silently, which made Wu Xianxiao very unhappy, but helpless.

It's not that he didn't understand that now everything Zhao Fobao had depended on him. Even if they didn't talk about wealth and glory, even their life safety was determined by his existence. Even if he just expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Fobao outwardly, God knew what kind of nightmare this little girl would encounter.

Wu Xianxiao knew a saying that the sands of the times falling on a person's head are like a mountain pressing down on his head. However, to this world and the Song Dynasty, he was no longer the sands of the times, but the direction of the times and the coordinates of history. Even if he was unwilling, all this was indeed caused by his actions, so he must bear this responsibility.

Therefore, Wu Xianxiao could only acquiesce in Zhao Fobao's following behind, and taking her, a bird and a dog with her, they went around the city eating and drinking like a street urchin.

On the other side, Hadeyev and Yang Zhewan were reading various historical books in Wu Xianxiao's mansion, and listening to the explanations of the clerks and scholars sent by the emperor.

Just when these officials and scholars, especially the Confucian scholars who followed them, were about to explain and brainwash with their heads shaking, the two of them just started reading.

"Let's determine the timeline first."

"Convert this world's time to the AD."

"Then start proofreading from the first great unified dynasty. The earlier ones don't make much sense to us."

"The emperors, governments, important events, and changes in mainstream culture in every dynasty..."

"From the beginning of this dynasty to the present emperor, the governing philosophy, the changes in the territory, the changes in foreign enemies, the changes in the political situation..."

"It should be broken down into major and minor events within the past ten years, especially the events involving book friends after Mr. Wu's arrival. Everything should be fully marked."

Hadeyev and Yang Zhewan were both knowledgeable, capable and proactive people. How could they be brainwashed by the natives of this world? They didn't even listen to what they said. They just picked up the books and started asking questions. They recorded every question and soon wrote down a general theory of time on a blackboard.

All of this took the two of them less than half a day. Although it was only a general summary, they did organize and record the historical outline of this world.

"... Really amazing." Yang Zhewan muttered as he looked at the records of Wu Xianxiao's various deeds on the blackboard.

Hadeyev crossed his arms and stared at the words on the blackboard. After a moment, he asked, "What kind of strength? Strength? Or decisiveness? Or judgment of the situation?"

Yang Zhewan stepped away and observed the entire blackboard from a wider perspective. He said as he looked at it, "All of them. Admittedly, Mr. Wu is not a person with long-term planning thinking, nor does he have subtle perception of people's hearts and knowledge and cognition in the fields of politics and military. He participates in all this as an ordinary person, and treats all this with the three views of ordinary people. It seems reckless, but he has an almost intuitive action power. Look here..."

Hadeyev looked at where Yang Zhewan was pointing. That was when Wu Xianxiao returned from the north after defeating the giant wild boar monster. He first went on a killing spree in the north, then immediately returned to Tokyo and killed the emperor and many ministers. Along the way, he killed anyone who stood in his way, and then he ordered the scholars, the cultural control class of the Song Dynasty, to come to Beijing. There was another massacre, and then these scholars knelt down and begged for mercy, singing praises.

Yang Zhewan saw that Hadeyev didn't seem to understand, so he smiled and shook his head and said, "These actions seem reckless, but they happened to hit the important nodes! General Hadeyev, you should know that on the battlefield, the two armies actually have contact, probing, stalemate, and the final decisive battle, right? So when is probing, when is stalemate, and when is the decisive battle? Is there a quantitative standard?"

Hadeyev frowned and said, "The battlefield changes rapidly, how can there be a set of quantitative standards? If there really is, then why do we commanders need to do anything? Isn't it better to let AI make all the decisions? This depends on the changes on the battlefield, the balance of power between the enemy and us, the timing, and even just a shell destroying a building is a node. So my answer is that there is no quantitative standard."

Yang Zhewan smiled and nodded, while continuing to look at the blackboard and said: "This is true. The whole world is changing rapidly. Although we try to judge everything in a digital way, it is not possible at this stage. Mr. Wu just happened to explode at a critical juncture."

"First of all, Mr. Wu solved the northern giant monster, which gave him a certain degree of legality in this country. I think you should also know that internal conflicts and external invasions are two completely different things, just like the internal disputes of humans during the Third World War, and the irreconcilable relationship between humans and biochemical beasts. These are two different things, right?"

Hadeyev nodded, and Yang Zhewan continued, "It is precisely because of this situation that Mr. Wu is a so-called outsider to everyone in this country simply because he is an 'exotic person from overseas' and a 'son of an immortal'. He can certainly use powerful military force to subdue the government, kill the emperor, and even enslave the people, but people will not accept it. It's fine while he is around. Once he leaves this world and goes to another dream world, then this world will immediately turn upside down. It will be useless to kill as many people as possible. The worst that can happen is that they will be enslaved."

"But Mr. Wu solved the northern giant monster and saved a large number of people who were about to be enslaved. While showing his military strength, he also changed from an outsider to a member of the family. Moreover, he became a member of the family with heroic attributes. This means that he has a certain degree of legality for this country."

"The reason why I call this a critical node is that this heroic attribute will be quickly forgotten. To be frank, people are the most forgetful and the best at forgetting. At the same time, no matter whether they are emperors, officials, or scholars, they definitely don't want to have an extra "immortal's son" above them. So over time, Mr. Wu's legal nature in this country and this world will fade and disappear, and he will become an outsider from being an insider. When he returns from the north, it is actually this important node, and its symbol is... the emperor has contacted an external supernatural power. I don't think the emperor wants to kill Mr. Wu, but at least he intends to compete with Mr. Wu."

"Mr. Wu didn't know all this, nor did he think about it. He just looked at the world according to his own values. When he confirmed that the northern barbarians continued to oppress his people, he became angry and smashed everything in the most violent way, and completely tore apart everything that was going to happen in this country. The most important thing is that Mr. Wu directed this anger directly at the entire ruling class, while leaving the ruled class unscathed. Do you know? The current Song Dynasty is actually equivalent to a theocratic society."

Yang Zhewan laughed. He looked at the events on the blackboard and said, "Mr. Wu is a god, and the emperor and the man called Qin Hui are his high priests. Power is only responsible to the source of power. This is what Mr. Wu did best. He became the source of power, and the whole world changed immediately. Now it's time for him to decide who is his own... General, this is really a world full of treasures!"

"So, what are you going to do?"

Yang Zhewan smiled and said, "General, we are planning to..."

He reacted suddenly and when he turned around, he saw Wu Xianxiao standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

Yang Zhewan suddenly smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wu Xianxiao didn't care. He walked to the blackboard, looked at the historical events recorded on it, and asked, "So, what are your plans next?"

Yang Zhewan also put aside his embarrassment and said seriously: "First of all, it is naturally a shelter for the four of us. This is related to our essential improvement, so the best way is for us to participate in the next drastic changes in this country. General Hadeyev will train a new army, and I will supervise and participate in Qin Hui's land reform. Lu Qi and Yu Qichen will form a secret force to manage the extraordinary people in this country, as well as collect extraordinary skills and extraordinary resources."

"Mr. Wu, please rest assured. This world is so excellent, just like a treasure house that has not yet been opened. You have already completed the most difficult step. The rest is just a harvest. We are all benefiting from you. From now on, as long as we develop this world, the entire world will surely be able to continuously produce high-quality resources!"

Wu Xianxiao was naturally happy, but he still reminded: "This world is not just the Song Dynasty, but the ancient civilizations of the entire earth should all be there. For example, when I went to the extreme north of this world, I also discovered other civilizations and other extraordinary powers. You should also pay attention to these." Yang Zhewan smiled reservedly and said: "These are naturally the targets to be conquered in the future, but Mr. Wu, we will also grow. At the same time, we will not be limited to extraordinary powers. This is the world of Zero Point Seven Dreams. Technological weapons can still play some role and power in this world. As long as we are given a year, the mortal army armed with technological power alone will be enough to push the whole world. As long as there are no extraordinary nightmares or the top extraordinary people in this world, I am not afraid of anything else."

Wu Xianxiao looked at Hadeyev, who nodded calmly and said, "Leave the military affairs to me. I am an old man, but I still have some use."

Wu Xianxiao felt even more satisfied.

This time’s card drawing... no, awakening a newcomer is simply winning the jackpot, one is literary and the other is martial, and the martial artist is a leadership and command type of talent.

at last……

He also has teammates who are good at business! !

"Okay! Then I'll leave this world to you!"

Wu Xianxiao suppressed his excitement and said, "If a top-level extraordinary person or nightmare really appears, I will kill him and eliminate him. You don't have to worry about it. I hope you don't give up the cultivation of your extraordinary power. After all, this world is just a starting point for you! I look forward to conquering countless dream worlds with you in the future!"

"I have only one request."

Wu Xianxiao turned his head and looked outside the door. He was silent for a while before saying, "Treat them as human beings. Treat those you meet as human beings. Treat them as human beings, unless they are monsters. In that case, you can treat them as monsters..."

"I hope that the people who make a living by their own labor in the places I have been to can live better, not worse. This is my only request."

Yang Zhewan and Hadeyev both had solemn expressions and nodded seriously.

After all, one comes from the late period of World War III, when humans united under the blue banner to fight against biochemical beasts; the other comes from the late 27th century when the Thirteen Starting Point Company had not yet wreaked havoc. They both understand the concept of equal human rights.

In the next two days, Hadeyev became Zongze's deputy, and his goal was to gain military power in the Song Dynasty. Yang Zhewan became Qin Hui's deputy and participated in Qin Hui's national land reform.

At this moment, Qin Hui had returned to Tokyo Bianliang.

Before Wu Xianxiao returned, he was clearing the land around Yingtian Prefecture.

Starting from Tokyo Bianliang, because of Wu Xianxiao's order, Qin Hui has now essentially become the vice prime minister of the Song Dynasty. A large number of officials have joined his side. At the same time, he has also set up a government office and directly commanded 10,000 elite Song Dynasty imperial guards. He also has the full trust and support of Emperor Zhao Gou. The most important thing is that he holds the mandate of heaven, and the real mandate of heaven comes from Wu Xianxiao's order.

So starting from the vicinity of Tokyo Bianliang, he was truly ruthless and impartial. No matter if you were from a wealthy family, a high-ranking official, a country hero, or even a royal relative, he did not care about you. Anyone who concealed land and population would be killed, killed, killed, killed... The killing continued until the sky was dark and the ground was covered with heads.

There were people who attempted to assassinate him, but before they could even show up, they were immediately eliminated by the local submissive forces.

Wu Xianxiao really dared to kill people. He killed two emperors and tens of thousands of Confucian scholars across the country, from north to south. Once Qin Hui died, the local ruling class would really be buried with him!

At this time, Qin Hui also knew that he had a new adjutant, and a powerful adjutant.

Under his account, a group of his confidants gathered together, including both civil officials and military generals. They were all filled with righteous indignation. Although they did not dare to say bad things about Wu Xianxiao, they kept mocking the court. But in fact, everyone knew what they were talking about.

Qin Hui, however, had a smile on his face and waved his hand to stop his confidants from complaining.

"Everyone, do you think I am forcing myself to smile?" Qin Hui looked at his puzzled confidants and shook his head.

Everyone was puzzled, because in their opinion, this kind of thing was Wu Xianxiao's attempt to take advantage of others, or it was a sign of distrust.

Qin Hui has now become the second pillar of power in the Song Dynasty, competing with the de facto Prime Minister Zong Ze. They are all Qin Hui's confidants, and they rise and fall together. Now that there is an outsider who is responsible for sharing power, who will be happy?
Qin Hui shook his head and said, "You are so narrow-minded... Everyone, please remember where the immortals came from!"

The confidants looked at each other, and one of the generals said in a muffled voice: "From Penglai Island."

"It's Penglai Island!"

Qin Hui said loudly: "This Mr. Yang who is coming is also from Penglai Island, but he is not a relative or disciple of the immortal, but an ordinary person from Penglai Island. What does this mean? He is clearly someone from the residence of Immortal Wu!"

Many of the close associates were somewhat stunned.

They are all officials and come from respectable families. Their mansions have housekeepers and servants, as well as so-called house-born children. If immortals and their children are from respectable families, then these mortals are undoubtedly the type of house-born children in the immortals' mansions!

Qin Hui chuckled and said, "So, do you understand? This is the trust of the immortals. They sent all the children from Penglai Island to us, whether they want to learn our way of being an official, economics, herding, or to support us. This is trust! And..."

When Qin Hui said this, his eyes were full of excitement. He stroked his beard and said, "Everyone, take a long-term view. Since the children of Penglai Island can be released, then why can't we be brought into Penglai Island?"

Many of the confidants were stunned. They all thought of a possibility and their faces began to turn red.

Qin Hui laughed and said, "No one would dislike having too many talents, right? I have done my best for the immortal and can be called impartial. I also respect the immortal, so...how could the immortal abandon me and you? Isn't the arrival of the immortal's child the best proof? Who knows..."

"In the future, we can also enter that fairy island and become a fairy official!"

On the third day after Wu Xianxiao arrived in the Song Dynasty, Yang Zhewan entered Qin Hui's camp and worked with Qin Hui to implement the land reform of the Song Dynasty.

That night, Wu Xianxiao brought Jiujiu and Daphne back to Gaia, and at the same time...

The demon world attraction rate is fifty percent!
