Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 393 Celebrating a birthday the day before yesterday, rebelling yesterday
The incident occurred the night after the birthday banquet.

Chu Danqing truly did not expect that armored soldiers would enter the city and quickly take control of the entire Bihai City.

He didn't know whose actions it was, but all the officials in Bihai City who refused to surrender were killed.

Chu Danqing knew this because on the third day, these people's heads were paraded through the streets on prison carts.

I found out later after making some inquiries.

It's the Misty Mountain Manor that's rebelled.

They bribed the city guards to open the gates at night and completed the occupation with only three hundred armored soldiers.

Chu Danqing was also shocked when he heard this.

What kind of crazy development is this?
He was celebrating his birthday the day before yesterday, and yesterday he plotted a rebellion.

This doesn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment decision at all; it must have been planned for a long time.

So Chu Danqing wondered what use those martial arts figures were.
Judging from the current situation, the main purpose of the birthday banquet should be for those people from the martial arts world.

It can't possibly express the author's homesickness.

This is definitely impossible.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The young master of Mist Hidden Manor has come to visit you with his armored soldiers!" the steward said breathlessly.

"Interesting." Chu Danqing was certain that Jiang Jin had stabilized the situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to their door.

"Please come in. It's not proper to keep guests out."

Although Chu Danqing didn't know what the other party wanted from him, he didn't think that Misty Hidden Manor posed a threat to him.

Aside from opposing factions, the only force that could pose a threat to him was the imperial court.

With his strength, he had the right to disregard the insignificant members of Misty Hidden Manor.

"Young Master Chu, you are late. I came uninvited, please forgive me." Jiang Jin walked in, first apologizing, and then bowing.

"It's alright, please have some tea," Chu Danqing said slowly. "Please sit down."

Jiang Jin sat down in Chu Danqing's deputy seat before saying, "Young Master Chu should also be aware of the change of ownership in Bihai City."

"I know. So, what brings you here, young master?" Chu Danqing replied, "You can't exactly say you're short of money, can you?"

"You flatter me. My Misty Hidden Manor has no shortage of money or provisions," Jiang Jin said. "I just wish to invite Young Master Chu to stay at the manor for a while."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing knew it meant house arrest, but he had a strange feeling that his luck was working.

After all, the location where his token was activated was in the Misty Manor.

“The powerful families in the city aren’t very obedient,” Jiang Jin said calmly. “We need to use some methods to make them behave.”

"I'm afraid it might affect Young Master Chu."

That's right, Jiang Jin came here to protect Chu Danqing.

There is only one reason.

Chu Danqing's background is definitely that of a powerful and influential family that cannot be offended. In the future, when he starts a rebellion, he will inevitably have to deal with the other party.

The minor aristocratic families in Bihai City can be killed without consequence.

But if such powerful families were to actually carry out a massacre, they would be cutting themselves off from the world.

As the young master of the manor, Jiang Jin knew that whether conquering or defending the world, he would need talented people from aristocratic families.

Otherwise, can we really rely on that group of uneducated peasants or lawless gangsters?
Having prepared for so many years, Misty Mountain Villa naturally has a comprehensive plan.

"Okay," Chu Danqing agreed.

"Young Master Chu, does this mean... you've agreed?" Jiang Jin was afraid that Chu Danqing would misunderstand, so he wanted to explain that this was not house arrest, but protection.

Unexpectedly, Chu Danqing agreed without any hesitation.

This was beyond his expectation.

However, this is actually a good thing, as it saves him a lot of trouble.

As for the possibility of misunderstandings later? Just explain it.

"I wonder if Young Master Chu needs anything to take with him? I'll have someone take it with me," Jiang Jin said.

Chu Danqing shook her head: "There's nothing to take, let's go."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin immediately arranged for a carriage to send Chu Danqing off.

On the way, Jiang Jin earnestly explained to Chu Danqing that this was not house arrest, but truly for her protection.

Chu Danqing didn't really care whether it was house arrest or protection; as long as he could stay at Misty Hidden Manor for the next few days, that would be best.

"Since there are no outsiders here, let me ask a question." Chu Danqing waited for the other party to finish explaining before asking, "How many days is the Great Purge planned to last?"

He was not optimistic about the possibility of the rebellion at Wuyin Manor succeeding.

Putting everything else aside, how do we resolve the issue of the spy?

The "Human" operative has gone missing, while the "Earth" operative may have already entered the city.

As a result, once they entered the city, they saw that there was a rebellion at Wuyin Manor. It seemed that they would have to send people over to quell the rebellion within two days.

The reason why the Seven Killings Martial Lord was able to confront the imperial court was because he had an army of 100,000.

Misty Manor does indeed have troops, including its own three hundred armored soldiers and a battalion of city guards recruited from Azure Sea City.

They're no match for me in a fight.

Chu Danqing suspected that the old patriarch of Misty Hidden Manor might know something about the Heavenly Ring.

Under normal circumstances, if news of the Heavenly Ring were to leak out, the entire world would descend into chaos.

This is exactly the situation that Misty Mountain Villa needs; they can take advantage of the chaos to quickly expand their territory.

The plan was good, but the problem was that Chu Danqing's arrival caused more and more variables to appear in the other party's plan.

What's even more critical is that they don't seem to have realized this problem yet.

By now, the imperial spies probably have no time to look for Chu Danqing; they're more focused on quelling the rebellion first.

"Well..." Jiang Jin was a little flustered. Why was Chu Danqing being so direct? He didn't know how to answer. However, the more Chu Danqing said this, the more certain Jiang Jin became that Chu Danqing came from a prominent family.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to speak so recklessly.

"It depends on my father's methods; he'll handle this matter." Jiang Jin didn't reveal too much.

He and his father, one played the good cop and the other the bad cop.

After the major purge was completed, he came out to appease and reform the situation.

"Alright, I won't ask. As long as I have a place to stay, that's fine," Chu Danqing said. "I can leave after everything is done."

This "finished" naturally doesn't refer to Misty Manor, but rather to his activation of the token.

However, he deliberately spoke vaguely, causing Jiang Jin to misunderstand.

Jiang Jin naturally had no intention of imprisoning Chu Danqing and making enemies. As long as Chu Danqing was not affected by this purge, he could go wherever he wanted.

There's no need to worry about safety; he can see that Da Bao's abilities are extraordinary.

With armored soldiers clearing the way, Chu Danqing was safely escorted to Misty Hidden Manor and settled into a quaint little courtyard.

It also comes with its own garden.

The place was fully staffed with maids and servants.

They just can't leave this small courtyard.

Jiang Jin's reason was that he was afraid of unexpected events.

This is not a lie; it's because someone led a team up the mountain early this morning.

Their goal was to exchange hometowns.

If it weren't for the intervention of the patriarch of Misty Hidden Manor, the opponent would have almost succeeded.

The situation will inevitably be reversed then.

It was precisely because of this that Misty Mountain Villa launched a massive purge.

If there's no movement at all, it will only make people think that Misty Manor is just a facade.

Chu Danqing was also somewhat surprised when he learned about this; indeed, one should not underestimate the people of the world.

The Misty Mountain Manor has been planning for so long, and someone almost ruined it.

Even if it ultimately fails, the impact will be immeasurable.

Otherwise, according to the original plan of Misty Hidden Manor, the main approach would have been to win over those aristocratic families.

"Da Bao, what do you think?" Chu Danqing asked Da Bao after everyone had left.

Da Bao hugged a fat chicken and gnawed on it, finishing it in a few bites before saying, "Weak."

It means exactly what it says: everyone in Misty Hidden Manor is too weak, including that so-called patriarch.

"When, when, to kill?" Da Bao asked Chu Danqing in return.

Chu Danqing asked, "Did they have malicious intent?"

"No," Da Bao replied simply.

"Then there's no need for fighting and killing, since it's not ordinary people who are dying anyway." Chu Danqing had no intention of saving aristocratic families or martial arts practitioners.

Chu Danqing values ​​ordinary people more than middle and high-level personnel.

In the past, it was always them who sacrificed ordinary people; what's wrong with them sacrificing for ordinary people this time?

"However, the matter cannot remain unresolved." Chu Danqing stroked his chin. "The Xihuan Dynasty is in a state of peace and prosperity. Without reforms, it would be better to maintain the status quo."

"At least the ordinary people of Bihai City still have a way to survive."

"If a real fight breaks out, I'm afraid families will be destroyed and people will die."

Chu Danqing couldn't help with things further away, but she would help with things that were close at hand if she could.

The simplest solution is to eliminate Misty Mountain Manor.
-
"Not bad, not bad, it's finally almost complete." Jiang Tong felt the abundant true energy within his body, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The Eternal Calamity Technique he cultivated was indeed aptly named; with each practice, his true energy would decrease by 10%.

Of course, while it's said to be a decrease, it actually means that the true energy is becoming purer and more powerful.

After reaching the thirteenth level, one's true qi is arguably the best in the world.

There are ways to improve the quality of one's true energy without causing it to decline.

That means using other people's true energy to make up for the losses.

That's why there was a birthday banquet for his 60th birthday.

Those whose true energy he had completely absorbed were naturally rendered useless.

There's no need to worry about ingesting other people's true energy and making your own true energy murky and chaotic.

The True Qi brought to him by the Eternal Calamity Technique was extremely pure, and any foreign True Qi that entered was instantly pulverized and absorbed.

The portion that cannot be absorbed is excreted from the body.

"In four more days at most, I will be able to complete it."

"At that time, I will have divine power, my son will have troops, and my grandson will have fame."

"With the help of the chaos of the Heavenly Ring, our great undertaking can be accomplished."

"After a century of planning, the time to reap the rewards is finally here." Jiang Tong felt extremely excited.

However, he quickly suppressed his excitement.

"Hmph~ Even with shortcuts, it's still hard to hide the turmoil in one's mind."

"After achieving success, it will take several days to recuperate and calm your mind." Jiang Tong naturally knew that taking shortcuts would come at a price.

Because the quality and quantity of his true energy rapidly increased, coupled with the expulsion of foreign true energy, his mind became easily agitated, leading to emotions such as being prone to joy, anger, and sadness.

He knew his own problems, so he simply stopped interfering in various matters and locked himself in the dungeon to avoid acting impulsively and ruining the grand plan.
