Violence proves that the leader is strong and worth following. Politicians must be strong!
Money proves that the leader is generous. He gave ten strings of coins as soon as they met. He is more generous than the officials of the Song Dynasty!
The essence of politics is actually very simple, two steps:
One, find the money.
Second, use money to buy the loyalty of others, especially the loyalty of thugs who have the ability to suppress.
The ultimate goal of politicians to consolidate their rule is to control the source of money for the entire empire, that is, taxes.
Then he used taxes to support his army, that is, to buy off thugs who could help him suppress all opposition forces.
Once there are problems in these two links, the emperor becomes a fake.
For example, Emperor Chongzhen could neither find money from the Ming Empire nor really spend the money on grassroots soldiers to improve the soldiers' will and combat effectiveness. So although he was called an emperor, he was not actually the supreme ruler of the world. His subsequent hanging on Coal Hill was an inevitable tragedy.
Murong Fu is still in the start-up stage and is still spending his own money, but it doesn’t matter. Once he has established his dominance in the southeast, all the financial resources of the Song Dynasty will be in his hands.
Do the landlords and gentry dare to resist?
Do you want to test the sharpness of Murong Fu's sword?
Ren Beiming and the other three looked unhappy. They naturally didn't care about the ten strings of money, but the eyes of the brothers below were burning as they stared at the Jiaozi in a daze.
If they dare to refuse, they will lose the support of the people in an instant.
And Murong Fu has already started distributing money.
When he was fighting, he was as fierce as a wolf; when he was handing out money, he was like a good brother, with a pleasant face and extraordinary bearing. He consoled people with soft voices, talked and laughed cheerfully, and made the disciples of the Five Elements Flag sincerely convinced.
The four flag bearers had no choice but to ask people to help Murong Fu raise money to prevent Murong Fu from further winning over the people.
Soon, all of Murong Fu's money was distributed.
Murong Fu's address in the Five Elements Flag also changed from "Master Murong" to "Brother Murong".
A group of Five Elements Flag disciples all called Murong Fu "Big Brother", and it was obvious that they were very respectful to Murong Fu.
After Murong Fu left, the four flag bearers all had complicated expressions.
"Is he helping the Saint to win us over?" Ren Beiming asked.
"Obviously not." Chen Huaiyun said, "This man is a rare hero, with superb martial arts skills and the ability to grasp people's hearts. His ambitions are not small. How can a saint girl control such a person?"
Han Jingyuan sighed and said, "The Ming Cult is really in troubled times. Now that Murong Fu has descended today, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Chapter 214 Both of them were covered with wounds
"call"
As their lips parted, Xiao Miao couldn't help but let out a faint cry. He knew without thinking that the wound at the corner of his mouth had opened wider.
Suddenly, Xiao Miao suddenly saw a trace of red on Medusa's mouth. Looking carefully, it was a trace of blood. It must be the mark left on his mouth.
"Does it hurt?"
Medusa gently stroked Xiao Miao's face with her beautiful hands and asked calmly, but her tone was flat and without any ups and downs, which made him a little confused as to what she was thinking.
"Mm, it hurts."
Xiao Miao answered honestly, but he looked extremely aggrieved.
Medusa felt a pang in her heart when she saw the weak look of the man in front of her. How could she bear to see him in so much pain?
But then she calmed down. Looking at the deep marks she left on his lips, she was quite satisfied. She would not let him get around her so easily. When she thought of Xiao Miao handing over the strange fire to that woman, she couldn't help but get furious and couldn't calm down.
After thinking about it, the mark she had left on his shoulder before was almost gone now, so it would be nice to leave a deeper mark.
Thinking of this, she looked around and then set up a barrier. She reached out and took off Xiao Miao's clothes. The faint scar left on the tissue was almost healed, just as she expected.
Medusa stared at him with her phoenix eyes, and without hesitation, she bit him again, taking advantage of the wound not being healed yet to leave a deeper mark, and repeating the cycle over and over again.
Feeling the slight pain coming from his shoulder, Xiao Miao couldn't help but frown slightly. He had a wound on the left shoulder and another on the right shoulder. Now the wound has not healed and will continue to deepen.
I didn't expect that I didn't get hurt during the fight, but I got a scar because of this.
Xiao Miao put his hands on his face and exerted a little force, trying to help him up. In just a short while, he was left with two wounds. If this continued, he would be injured all over his body.
Feeling Xiao Miao's resistance, Medusa originally just wanted him to pause, but she completely misunderstood his intention and thought that he was resisting her. She became furious for a moment. If she had only used a little force originally, now she would have completely left her teeth mark in his mouth.
"hiss"
Xiao Miao felt an even stronger pain in his shoulder and subconsciously pushed Medusa away, but it was of no use.
Medusa looked at the man in pain in her arms, slowly let go, and stared blankly at the bloody flesh on Bai Zhe's shoulder. Although she felt a little distressed, she was mostly blaming him.
Why didn't he listen to her, why did he go against her, why.
Xiao Miao was puzzled when he saw Medusa's condition. He was the one who was hurt, but looking at her condition, it didn't seem to have eased much at all. Medusa's hand was still fiddling with his wound.
"Is that enough? I haven't even started yet."
Xiao Miao reached out and held Medusa's outstretched finger. Looking at the blood that was still stuck on it from his shoulder, he reached out and touched it gently.
Then he took a step forward, looked at the white wrist of Medusa, and bit it without any hesitation.
Medusa noticed his action, but she also did not use her fighting spirit to resist. Suddenly, blood began to flow from her wrist.
Blood continued to flow, and Xiao Miao's lips were also stained with a hint of red. Now the two of them looked quite similar.
Watching this scene, Medusa looked at the corner of her lips. I looked at my wrist which was still bleeding and couldn't help but smile. Was she dissatisfied with her?
Medusa stretched out her hand to expose her shoulder, and looked at Xiao Miao with cold eyes. The meaning was self-evident. Xiao Miao also opened his mouth and bit it, as if to repay the pain just now.
For a moment, the two of them were like two naughty children, biting each other back and forth.
The shoulders, wrists, and neck were all covered with traces of the two people, and even the clothes were dyed a little bright red.
Unlike the smile on Medusa's lips, Xiao Miao only felt a chill at this moment. He originally just wanted to bite back, but he didn't expect that the situation would develop in an unpredictable direction.
And she could still laugh in this situation. Xiao Miao couldn't help but feel regretful. Could it be that Medusa was mentally twisted?
Medusa felt the pain in her body, which was extremely real. The violence that had surged in her heart gradually subsided. However, this alone could not completely calm the anger in her heart.
Medusa stretched out her hand and took off Xiao Miao's clothes in front of his surprised gaze. One could tell what she was thinking with her eyes.
"This is still outside, you"
Xiao Miao just opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, he was blocked. At the same time, the clothes on the two of them gradually disappeared, perhaps torn, or perhaps gone.
The alchemy conference was in full swing at this time, and many alchemists were showing off their alchemy skills. However, with those monsters around, most people could only become inconspicuous foils.
Alchemy is an extremely time-consuming task, especially the refining of elixirs, which often takes ten days or half a month. This is not uncommon.
The audience was also aware of this situation, so they did not seem impatient because of the long wait. Moreover, they had already waited for such a long time for the previous selection. Moreover, in this short period of time, although there were many people who could go to Shengdan City to watch, they all had some strength, so the necessary patience was naturally necessary.
Under the gaze of countless expectant eyes, time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, a few days passed quietly.
During these few days, the refining in the sky seemed quite peaceful, but occasionally there would be a low sound, which was caused by some problems in the refining process, thus causing the sound of the furnace exploding.
Within a few days, a small number of alchemists succeeded in refining pills. However, when the pills were made, they understood that their participation this time would come to an end. This was because the higher the level of the pill, the longer it would take to refine. People like them would basically only be at the bottom of the list. However, there was no need to worry too much. After all, even they knew their own abilities, not to mention the people outside the field.
In the past few days, although Cao Ying, Xiao Yan and the old man did not have much interaction, they had already started a secret competition with each other. In the middle, Xiao Yan and the old man made a little mistake, and there was a slight difference when fusing the herbs, but they soon gave up and refined them again, and they soon caught up.
Cao Ying has now put all her mind into the alchemy furnace in front of her, ready for battle. She didn't expect that Xiao Yan and the old man would appear in this conference. Xiao Yan has a powerful strange fire, and the old man has only entered the realm of an eighth-grade alchemist for many years. As for her, Cao Ying, who has entered the eighth grade and experienced precipitation, and has the help of strange fire, she also has her own pride in her heart.
Now that all the medicinal materials have been extracted, what remains is to blend them perfectly together, calcine them into the prototype of the pill, and finally make the pill.
Fusion is a very important step in alchemy. Although she still has spare herbs, she would try to succeed in one go if possible. After all, refining pills is not only time-consuming, but also extremely energy-consuming. It would be great if she could be more relaxed.
The step of fusing the medicinal power requires the alchemist to have a very demanding level of control. If there is even the slightest change during the process, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Therefore, this step is extremely important. At this moment, Cao Ying's mind is also highly concentrated. The vast soul power fills every corner of the alchemy furnace. Any slight changes produced inside it will be instantly fed back to her mind.
With such serious treatment, there were no mistakes in the fusion step. Although the fusion speed was relatively slow, it was better to win by playing it safe at this time.
At this time, in another wilderness area.
Now the two have finished communicating. Xiao Miao did not expect Medusa to be so bold. Although she had set up a barrier, she dared to
Xiao Miao looked at the tattered carpet on the ground and said nothing. At this time, after several days of internal and external struggles and Xiao Miao's repeated confirmation, Medusa finally put aside her worries, but she still warned:
"Next time, I will definitely not be so good-tempered."
Hearing the warning from her, Xiao Miao did not say anything. Although he had thought that Medusa might be angry, he did not expect it to be to this extent. This time he really would not do it again.
Just like this, he was already covered with wounds, some of which could not be covered even with clothes, such as the wounds on his neck and fingers, which were all masterpieces left by Medusa.
The two of them slowly put on their clothes, and Medusa then dissipated the protective barrier around them. However, looking at Xiao Miao's exposed body when he was getting dressed, she felt the urge to do it again, but under such strong rejection, she could only compromise temporarily.
Medusa felt that the longer she stayed with Xiao Miao, the greater the attraction he exuded to her, and sometimes it was even difficult for her to come back to her senses. Moreover, compared to her initial ignorance, she had learned a lot of tricks now, so she was naturally more adept at communicating. This was also one of the reasons.
After resolving the matter, Xiao Miao pulled Medusa back the same way. Several days had passed since they came out, and no one knew how the pill was going.
While Xiao Miao was using his fighting spirit to speed up his journey, he also wanted to heal his wounds, but he was stopped by Medusa who claimed that this was the final punishment. Under such a threat, he had no choice but to agree.
Medusa saw that although Xiao Miao had deliberately pulled his collar higher and longer at his wrists, there were still some marks that could not be covered and were exposed, which did attract attention. However, this was all intentional. Only by doing this could the uneasiness in her heart slowly dissipate, as if the man in front of her still belonged to her.
The two wasted some time on the way, but because they were traveling very fast, they still managed to get back before the meeting was over.
At this time, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw the two of them coming back. They were so anxious when they left, so there must be something important. She didn't know how they were doing now?
Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly saw the marks on Xiao Miao's neck and the back of his hands. This made her narrow her eyes slightly, it seemed that things were not as simple as she thought.
Yun Yun couldn't help but move closer, wanting to examine it carefully. Instead, Xiao Miao noticed Yun Yun's actions and his body stiffened. He was always careful, and the marks on his body were too obvious. He thought she had discovered something, but there was nothing he could do. If she recovered, Medusa would go crazy again, and he couldn't bear it. He would suffer over and over again.
Seeing Xiao Miao's somewhat guilty behavior and observing him closely, Yun Yun was finally certain that the two of them had left a few days ago for no major event. Instead, they had gone out to do some communication. And looking at the marks extending from Xiao Miao's body, there were probably many marks even on the body wrapped in clothes, which meant that he was left by Medusa.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun couldn't help but look back angrily at Medusa who was standing behind Xiao Miao. The coldness in her eyes was about to solidify. She had been worried for so long, but she didn't expect...
At the same time, he also looked at the little medical fairy beside him, the questioning in his eyes was self-evident. After all, if he hadn't pulled her back and waited for her to catch up, this wouldn't have happened. At least Medusa wouldn't have eaten all by herself.
Little Medical Fairy naturally noticed the abnormality in Xiao Miao, and felt a little sad in her heart. Suddenly, looking at Yun Yun's gaze, she couldn't help feeling guilty and slowly looked away. After all, she had misunderstood the two of them when they left in a hurry, which led to such a misunderstanding. However, she didn't expect that the two of them were so anxious to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiao Miao beside him, a slight disappointment rising in his heart. Then he looked at Medusa, wondering why he didn't look for her? She was obviously not bad either.
At this time, Xiao Yixiang and Yun Yun were both looking at Xiao Miao, as if asking him to give a reasonable explanation. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel a headache. Just after solving one problem, two more came.
On the contrary, Medusa beside him looked calm. After venting her anger, she didn't care about anything else, as if the previous crazy action was not hers.
Now that she was sure of Xiao Miao's intentions, she felt relieved. If the problem could not be resolved, it would be even better if the two of them could leave.
