People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

If you can't beat them, their sheer power will overcome everything!

But performance is not a problem.

He gave it his all.

He had his own intelligence channels, and he knew that his elder brother was now [Chongyue], not [Shuo]!

Without his powers, the eldest brother, now just an ordinary person, is very likely no match for him!

If he tries to stop me from taking the millet, then I'll risk my life to defy him!

After hastily saying goodbye to Shu, Ji hurried towards the area where Chongyue was located.

He saw Chongyue, who was doing his morning exercises on the playground. His moves were so powerful and impressive that they attracted the attention of the elderly people who were also doing their morning exercises nearby, who all tried to imitate him, clapping and cheering.

Seemingly having also noticed Ji's arrival, Chong Yue's face flashed with joy. He stopped what he was doing and was about to greet him when he noticed the less-than-friendly expression on Ji's face. He paused for a moment, then frowned.

The next second, the score had already surged up.

Chapter 968 The copper-headed leather belt whipped him, making him spin like a top!

"When Ji rushed up, he was about to hit me with his little piece of wood."

"As you know, we martial artists value martial ethics the most. If someone challenges us, we must fight with all our strength. But at that time, I didn't have a suitable weapon with me, so I had to resort to some unconventional methods."

"Sister Shu, please don't be offended, please don't be offended."

Chongyue carefully explained and comforted them.

"Don't worry, I didn't kill him, Ji wasn't injured."

Shu lowered his head and looked at the struggling, writhing body in front of him.

Ji's body was tattered and covered with red welts from being whipped. He was writhing in the shadows on the ground. His mouth was gagged, and his eyes showed fear and anger. When he accidentally met Shu's gaze, his writhing body suddenly froze, and then slowly quieted down, his eyes losing their luster.

Despairing of life, the heart of the beast agent died.

Shu carefully examined Ji's body and found that Ji was indeed not injured, which made her even more puzzled:

"Brother, what weapon are you using?"

To beat someone so badly without leaving any decent wounds is truly astonishing. Although Shu knew her elder brother was proficient in all eighteen martial arts, this move was something she had never heard of before!

Before Chongyue could answer the question, Ji on the ground let out a pitiful whimper:

"Ugh! Ugh! Mmm! Mmm!"

Unfortunately, no one could understand it.

Chongyue scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and pointed to his waist.

A bronze belt with a dragon head carved on it reflects the light.

The power of [Cause and Effect] was activated unconsciously. Shu seemed to see Ji bravely rushing forward to challenge his elder brother, and then being whipped by his elder brother with a copper-headed leather belt, spinning wildly like a top!

""

She had to admit that she subconsciously wanted to laugh.

But she was still too kind-hearted. Thinking that Ji was still lying on the ground, she forced herself to suppress her smile.

"Brother, could you loosen your grip first?"

Shu's voice, which should have been tinged with guilt and sadness, was now involuntarily tinged with a hint of laughter.

"I couldn't find the Si Sui Terrace, so I don't know what happened, but it seems they've evacuated from the Great Wilderness City."

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing great concern.

"Has something happened over there? Do you know anything about it, brother?"

She had only asked casually, since her older brother had been spending time with her lately and his knowledge was probably limited.

Surprisingly, Chongyue actually nodded:

"I know that. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of Rong Wanqing, the Tongzhi of Dahuang City, came from outside:

"Shu, Chongyue, are you there?"

Shu was slightly taken aback, then stepped forward and opened the door:

"We are here, Lord Rong. I just went to look for you, but you weren't here."

Rong Wanqing, dressed in formal attire and with a serious expression, glanced at Shu, then turned her head to look at Chongyue inside the room. Upon discovering that another person was lying there, she was slightly startled.

"Ji is here too?"

Shu was a little nervous:

"He just got back. I came to see you to inform you about this, Lu. Don't worry, Sui Xiang hasn't shown up."2]

Shu wasn't worried that discussing the Year Beast issue directly with Rong Wanqing would constitute a leak of secrets. Before becoming the Tongzhi of Dahuang City, known as the "Old Village Chief" among the farmers, Rong Wanqing was originally the candle bearer of the Year God's Office. However, due to various reasons, she later gave up her job at the Year God's Office and became the top leader of Dahuang City.

He knew the secret of the Year Beast's agent.

That's why Shu went directly to Rong Wanqing, because all the visible monitors of Si Suitai had disappeared for unknown reasons a few days ago. Shu would have a hard time finding them in a short time, but Rong Wanqing, as the head, would definitely have a way.

She hadn't expected that Rong Wanqing wouldn't be there either, so she had no choice but to go back the way she came to her older brother to see how he had done his "greeting" job.

Then I saw Ji, covered in wounds, bound tightly, and only able to crawl in the shadows.

Now that Rong Wanqing has returned, her first priority is naturally to report on the matter of the Year Minister. Otherwise, if any misunderstanding arises, she worries that the Year Minister might take action against Ji.

However, Rong Wanqing simply shook her head slightly and said something that Shu had never expected:

"Age doesn't matter anymore."

"Shu, Chongyue, and Ji, come with me, someone wants to see you."

Shu frowned.

Her mind was already on high alert.

Rong Wanqing went out in formal attire early in the morning, and when she returned, she went straight to them and said, "The issue of age is not important," and wanted to take them to see someone.

This looks like they're trying to nip it in the bud to prevent future troubles!

Shu instinctively didn't want to believe it, but there had been so many unusual things happening recently, and her premonitions based on cause and effect were frantically warning her. At this moment, she couldn't help but overthink things.

She took a step back, turned her head slightly, and said to Chongyue behind her:

"Big brother, you..."

"Sister, keep up."

Chongyue strode past Shu, the defenseless Ji still tucked under his waist, and nodded to Shu.

"Don't worry about the transit group: the three of them are here to help us."

Shu was stunned for a moment.

On the other side, Ernst looked at the watch on his wrist, somewhat impatient.

He's usually quite patient, but this trip to the Great Wilderness City has been really too troublesome.

Knowing that time was tight and the task was heavy, and that he was carrying a mission and had a pass issued by the Emperor, he was still approached by many complete strangers whenever he passed through a mobile city, wanting to ask him about the internal affairs of the court.

Clearly, this was a gift from Wei Yanwu.

The purge arranged by the True Dragon was not large in scale, but its level was extremely high.

The officialdom of the Great Yan Dynasty was originally interconnected and of the same lineage. This time, Wei Yanwu was forced to take this position, and when they investigated, they found out which high-ranking official's mentor and which prominent son-in-law he had been involved with.

Whether this is beneficial to the country is another matter, but for Wei Yanwu personally, the loss is enormous.

The reputation he had painstakingly cultivated was now completely ruined.

It wasn't that he didn't want to investigate, but he had initially planned to do this after seizing the throne, as part of his three acts of establishing himself as the new emperor. Now, well, the real dragon has burned it all.

He was not willing to give up, so he made a very risky decision.

He didn't have the guts to investigate everyone, but he did have the guts to use the guise of investigating a case to let everyone know about it, and to create widespread panic.

This terrified many local officials in the Great Yan Dynasty. They were already apprehensive about the sudden personnel changes in the imperial court, and now, with Wei Yanwu hinting at a possible further expansion of the purge, they naturally had to use every means at their disposal to find out what was happening inside the Hundred Stove.

Ernst's identity was dazzling enough, and just three days after he arrived in Baizhao, the True Dragon convened the "Great Court Meeting". Even those who did not think that Ernst, a foreigner, had the ability to interfere in the affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty had to admit one thing at this moment - Ernst must know something!

So, for their own sake and for the sake of others who were in the same boat, they risked delaying the imperial order and had to show Ernst some "hostly hospitality" at this moment!

During his journey, Ernst was invited to meals more than a dozen times in just over a day. Each of them was shameless and insisted on sending troops to intercept Ernst's carriage or personally standing on the road to block him, just to make Ernst come.

Ernst initially agreed a few times out of consideration for those who are smiling, but later he simply couldn't agree anymore.

Too much time has been wasted!

Moreover, he really couldn't eat anymore!

After many twists and turns, he finally arrived at Great Wilderness City. It was already the morning of the third day.

He's already almost twice as slow as he originally planned!

He wasn't unaware of what those people were afraid of; it was nothing more than a "clique" or "guilt by association." But their reaction was simply too much.

"I'll definitely have to mention this to Zhenlong when I get back."

"Now, time is tight and the task is heavy."

Ernst took the chess piece out of his pocket and found that it was covered with a thin layer of frost.

Did you offend the Sami or the great god Yeragand?

Ernst was a little puzzled and placed it on the table.

Wang slowly materialized, his face ashen. Noticing Ernst's curious gaze, he silently turned his head away without offering any explanation.

What's there to explain?

You snow leopard, don't you have any idea what you're carrying in your pockets?

Who goes out carrying a bunch of nuclear bombs capable of destroying a country? I just glanced at it casually, and I was almost blinded by the sheer number!

Seeing that he wasn't interested, Ernst didn't press the matter. Fortunately, Rong Wanqing, the magistrate, knocked on the door in time, preventing the atmosphere from becoming awkward.

"Sir, they have arrived."

"come in."

Ernst Road.

Chongyue pushed open the door, met Ernst's gaze, and nodded happily at him: 4)...

"Long time no see, Mr. Ernst."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Ernst said, but his gaze was fixed on the area under his elbow.

"Is this Shu?"

He was stunned.

Although he had heard that Shu was not very cooperative with Chongyue, there was no need to beat him up and then drag him over under his arm, right?

Moreover, although she is pretty and has a bit of a feminine look, she doesn't have any other female characteristics.

Is the cup-level product possibly able to sit at the same table as the Cintraya?

Fortunately, Chongyue immediately shook his head:

"This isn't it, this is Ji, Seventh Brother."

He glanced at the room, raised an eyebrow, but instead of greeting anyone, he introduced himself:

"The millet is behind."

He stepped aside and waved towards the door:

"Shu, come in."

Ernst looked out the door.

The figure of the millet slowly emerged, with long hair a mix of gray, yellow, and blue, and gentle eyes. He seemed to possess a similar air to the great god Yeragand.

Indeed, it's a super-flat terrain that's perfect for traditional farming, only suitable for sitting at the same table as Hintelia.

Ernst frowned slightly.
