Chapter 593 Destiny Fishing
Eastern Yongzhou of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As the end area where the Fenshui River merges into the Tianhe River in this era, the water conservancy conditions here largely determine the water flow in the middle and lower reaches of the Tianhe River. Especially after the Tianhe River passes through a plateau covered with loess, the combination of silt and water can sometimes be synonymous with destruction.

Therefore, in recent decades, Dongyongzhou has been the absolute focus of flood control. When the Northern Wei court entered the Central Plains, the various clans did not take it seriously at first, but after encountering several "unprecedented" attacks from the Tianhe River, they finally calmed down.

In the East Yongzhou City, a huge tributary of the Fen River runs through the city, and the waves splash on the surface of the river bank irrigated by Yanggang steel water. There are many restaurants on both sides of the river, and singing and dancing are constant. This place has always been known as the "Little Yangzhou".

In front of the tavern on the shore, a man in cloth sat by the river, the silver fishing rod in his hand quietly extended, the fishing line of fate hung into the river, and occasionally ripples gently echoed around.

Xie Annan was dressed in a scholar's robe and looked a little haggard. He squatted down, reached his hand into the river, and scooped up the slightly turbid water.

"Your Majesty, governing the world still requires scholars." Xie Annan stared at the river water in his hand and said sadly, "Just like managing floods is the fate of the dynasty, why bother killing the six great families? Even if your Majesty is as powerful as you, you can't kill them all."

"Land." Jiang He said calmly.

In his eyes, Nanliang has become his own reserve blessed land. A sufficient population means potential, but the land is concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families. The people have less and less information, and their reproduction tendency is significantly reduced, which is directly related to the amount of golden living materials produced by the blessed land after death.

From the emperor's perspective, as the leader and representative of the landowner group, land is the emperor's natural attribute. Therefore, floods that destroy the land must be controlled, and expanding territory is the most critical factor in evaluating an emperor's achievements.

When faced with aristocratic families who are landowners, the imperial power can easily destroy an individual one among them, or even dominate a considerable number of them. However, when facing off against the whole, it will always encounter the most fierce resistance, and because of the source of power, major changes often end in failure.

But unfortunately, the emperor of Southern Liang is Jiang He, but Jiang He is not just the emperor of Southern Liang. From the perspective of the entire world, the landowner group including the emperor is only a part of it.

"But it's too drastic, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause," Xie Annan sighed, "I think the matter of the false emperor is just the beginning."

It is called persuasion, but it is actually a threat.

If this continues, even the Pei family will have no choice but to stand on the opposite side, and the Xie family will also have no choice.

"Intense?" Jiang He said indifferently, "If you are not satisfied, then come and kill me. Kill me and the regime will naturally end. To be honest, I don't think I can cure the root cause. I will kill all the forty states in the north and south every one or two hundred years. Kill them until it becomes a certain law that is implemented in history. Then Daliang will naturally last for thousands of years."

Jiang He had a calm expression. He certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with others resisting him. Just like when he faced the sea dragon, if the outcome was that the dragon killed him, he would accept it. Life and death all depended on one's ability.

"Your Majesty is drunk. I will pretend that I have never heard what you said today." Xie Annan lowered his head tightly.

If His Majesty is unwilling to make concessions, the only result will be war. However, this king seems to have never lost since he was crowned king. Neither the Pei nor the Xie family has any confidence of winning, especially the upstart Pei Wuxing, who has recently claimed to be ill and has not been at home.

"Never heard of it?"

Jiang He sneered, "You mean, you don't have to listen to what I say if you don't want to?"

Xie Annan's face turned pale when he heard this.

He finally understood why he, a dignified land immortal, could never hold his head up in front of the other party. It was not just because of the difference in strength, but the unconcealable brutality in the other person's bones. It was something that all of his kind were afraid of and even terrified of. It was more like a primitive sin.

Wow!

A common carp was caught.

Behind the two of them, Ah Da jumped into the water and scooped out the carp with a simple smile on his face. In fact, the ones who feared the Great Lord the most were not the Zhulu family, but the most loyal army of evil spirits. Xie Annan understood this only now, and the Great Lord had never concealed it.

Only core members are the exception.

Jiang He waved his hand and said, "Give it to him. He still has to have a last meal before his execution."

Xie Annan took the carp silently. He knew clearly when he would die, which depended on when he took action. The fighting power of the immortals on land was "missing", and the Pei and Xie families had reached the cliff.

Ah Da retreated without saying a word. Actually, there was a way to survive, but unfortunately the head of the Xie family did not realize that if he could ask any one of the three core members to come forward to persuade him, the current deadlock could be solved with just one sentence.

The opposite of cruelty is almost unlimited indulgence.

"Drink, drink, after we drink we'll see who's the better of us!"

"Why do you two need to waste your energy? Jiuliu Sect has a rumor that this is the last wave of martial arts. The fortune of martial arts is surging, and opportunities are everywhere in Dongyongzhou."

"Everyone who comes here wants the Fenshui red carp, but this great tonic for the blood and qi depends on fate and cannot be forced. You two might as well give me some face."

"Forget it, forget it. Since a senior from the Third Realm has spoken, I will just follow your orders."

The quiet riverside was rippling with water, but the tavern not far away was quite noisy, with people from all walks of life gathering together to toast each other. In the cowshed of the tavern, two more oxen died unexpectedly of illness.

With the Southern Liang's extreme policy of eliminating military power, the Northern Wei martial arts world seemed to be in its last gasp. Geniuses and physiques that were rare in ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years emerged one after another. People would draw their swords to help when they saw injustice, and entire families would be wiped out over a disagreement.

Among them, Dongyongzhou is simply the core area where martial arts are prosperous.

This is because in Dongyongzhou, there is the world's number one sect - Yunxia Daoshan.

Yunxia Taoist Mountain has enjoyed the blessings of the Milky Way for five hundred years. It has many Taoist lineages, mainly based on Yunxia magic and Yin-Yang practice. Although not every generation has produced land immortals, the lineage of the sect leader has passed down the sacred beast Yuyu from generation to generation, which is a sacred beast that can control rivers.

It might be difficult for the sacred beast Yu to control the Tianhe River, but it was extremely easy to cause a river to burst its banks thousands of miles away. This strategic deterrence made the court power of the previous dynasty relatively weak in Dongyongzhou. Where the court's control was weak, martial arts flourished. As time went by, the local people became extremely tough.

In fact, the Daode Sect was just a branch of the Yunxia Daoshan Sect in the past. The first leader of the Daode Sect was not very powerful among the sub-heroes, but with the rise of the Old Immortal, the prestige of one person made the Daode Sect rank first in the world, and its swordsmanship inheritance was the best in the world.

Half a month ago, the third magic weapon controlled by Yunxia Daoshan, the Nine Dragon Sword, was stolen. For a time, Yunxia Daoshan, who had the greatest hope of becoming the leader of the martial arts world, saw his prestige plummet. However, because of this, more martial arts celebrities rushed to the scene after hearing the news.

"A sub-legendary sword and nine immortal dragon souls." Jiang He recalled the information obtained by Wuhe. The top three magic weapons in the world are all sub-legendary. They are probably protective gears smuggled down by reincarnated celestial beings from past dynasties.

The Sword of Heavenly Morality, the Sword of Blue Sky and the Sword of Nine Dragons are all swords. According to some uncertain speculation, the Shenting Sect, which once controlled the world, might be more proficient in swordsmanship and kendo.

"Sir, here's the drink you requested."

In the tavern, a freckled woman trotted out. Her face was commonplace, but her slim figure attracted a lot of attention. The man who had started the argument caught a glimpse of the moon-like swaying arc and whistled immediately.

"It's easy to have children, and having an ordinary face is not a big deal."

There was a burst of laughter in the tavern, more and more people were making fun of him, and the atmosphere gradually changed. One of the scarred young men was unhappy about the previous dispute, and he slammed the table repeatedly, calling for people to come over and drink with him. "There are so many people coming and going in the tavern, how can you be a decent person? Come here quickly, I won't give you a penny less!"

"I think the price can't be more than 100 coins. Everyone present here can get a share. Small profits but quick turnover!"

The owner of the tavern was a thin man who looked like a tuberculosis patient. When he heard the insult, he lowered his head and kept silent. He fiddled with the abacus silently, occasionally looking up at the wine barrel on the counter.

The freckled woman showed no shame or anger. She gently placed her signature drink on the shore, then held out her hand for money, her eyes fixed on the handsome profile of the young man.

"Three hundred coins. Sir, it's precious. Don't refuse to pay."

Ah Da stood up and took out the money.

Jiang He simply picked up the crude wine and took a sip.

Most of the liquors around the Lancang River in the north are called Lanjiu. In the lower Bianshui area, the liquor has a stronger taste and is named "Qingzhou". On the banks of the Fenshui River, the name of the local signature liquor is naturally easy to guess, called Zhiliu Liquor, which has a refreshing taste.

The freckled woman got a few strings of copper coins and reluctantly returned to the tavern, where she was attacked by pairs of calloused hands, with increasingly explicit teasing.

Wow!

The river surface was choppy again.

A flash of scarlet scale light appeared, and the tavern fell silent in an instant. Everyone looked at the legendary Fenshui red carp. Just by staring at it, they felt the blood in their bodies boiling.

"Do it!"

"Please give me some face. I am emaciated. If I cannot get the red carp, I will fight to the death."

"Brothers, stand shoulder to shoulder!"

More than thirty martial arts masters came, all with fierce eyes. The Fenshui red carp is a great supplement for blood and qi, and is of great benefit to martial artists in shaping their martial arts state. It can be said to be one of the best supplements for breaking through from the second realm to the third realm. Even if it is of no benefit to cultivation, it is worth a thousand gold if sold.

Tables, chairs and benches were all over the floor, and the sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard. But at this moment, the freckled woman wiped off the mask on her face, revealing an extremely beautiful face. She stretched out her jade finger and quickly pointed at everyone.

"Down, down, down!"

Boom boom boom!
The Fei Ma San in the wine took effect, and more than 30 people fell to the ground and fainted almost at the same time. The freckled woman directly crushed the heads of the man and the scarred man.

She skillfully unbuttoned everyone's pants, then took the wrist knife and castrated the men present one by one. Finally, she stuffed the long strips into a wine barrel to soak, cursing all the while.

The sickly boss finally smiled.

"Thank you, Madam. The essence of a warrior's blood and energy is stronger than that of a tiger or leopard. As for the chivalrous ladies, lock them all up in the dungeon."

The freckled woman sneered, "Having a beauty ranked fifth on the Rouge List isn't enough, you're bringing them one after another, are you thinking I'm dead?"

The sickly boss laughed and said, "That person is the one chosen by Daoist Master Yunxia Daoshan. How dare I get my hands on him? Daoshan Elder will come to get him later. Maybe he will grant me the Yin-Yang method to advance to the fourth realm this time."

Both of them are now stuck at the peak of the third realm. If they can achieve sub-heroes, they will also be famous in the martial arts world. There are countless Taoist veins in Yunxia Taoist Mountain, among which the progress of the orthodox method of collecting and replenishing is the fastest. Daozi is only an adult, but he is already a master of the third realm and is recognized by the world as a genius.

The freckled woman suddenly sneered: "You are waiting in line behind Daozi, but I can't get any benefits from Mi Qianshang. The Fenshui carp belongs to me, and the most important thing is the young man by the river. I want to raise him and enjoy him."

The sickly boss's face was struggling. The preciousness of Fenshui carp was self-evident, but now was the critical moment to obtain the inheritance, and he did not want to fall out with his wife.

Wow!

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Jiang He, who they thought was poisoned by Fei Ma San, threw the red carp back into the river.

Xie Annan's eyes were filled with regret, but this red carp really had no effect on the emperor. The ancient barbarian dragon, which was said to symbolize the utmost strength, had blood and energy like the vast ocean.

As for selling it for silver, it was even more ridiculous. The only pity was that the red carp was said to taste good, but the emperor was fond of drinking, so basically he would only taste a little of the delicious dishes.

"How dare you!" The sickly boss was furious upon seeing this.

The freckled woman also looked unhappy and said harshly, "It seems that I need to train first."

The two of them attacked at the same time. After all, the three people by the river were obviously not simple. The sickly boss pulled out the long knife under the counter, and a secret knife light full of disease and plague slashed out. The freckled woman moved her palms forward, and a mist far better than the boiling hemp powder swept out.

Xie Annan's face was full of admiration. The weaker the existence, the more difficult it was for them to detect the emperor's strength.

Jiang He didn't even turn his head. He bent his fingers and tapped lightly backwards. The power of strength released a trace of power, which directly set off a violent wave. The huge torrent of force swept out and instantly submerged the two secret techniques.

boom!
In an instant, the third-level couple was reduced to dust, and the entire tavern was razed to the ground.

Jiang He put away the silver spear fishing rod. He had previously activated the destiny calamity to strip himself of the destiny of killing the powerful countries. Then he activated the legendary secret method, Destiny, to regain this destiny. Next, the power of destiny would allow him to meet the powerful countries step by step.

Taking into account the status and the principle of proximity, the Twilight Powers have the greatest possibility. After all, Dongyongzhou is the key node for flood control.

The tavern was destroyed, revealing the dungeon underneath. A large group of women scrambled to escape. They were all young and had different looks. One of them was extremely beautiful and cold, with the third level of cultivation. She looked around and saw the young man by the river, her pupils slightly constricted.

The origin player Mi Qianshang, whose original charm reached nine points, ranked fifth on the Rouge List reviewed by Jiuliu Zong, second only to Lao Ning, a wheelchair-bound person with disabled legs and a "flawed jade".

"I am the legitimate daughter of the Mi family. I am honored to meet... Your Majesty." Mi Qianshang lowered her head silently. The world of competition was not the current situation. Here, the Emperor of Southern Liang, who dominated the world, could almost decide the life and death of anyone. She was not so stubborn as to remain arrogant.

"Mi family." Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Mi family is one of the six great families in Jiangnan. Why don't you come to the backyard?"

Mi Qianshang was too tired to complain. Even if she didn't go, she would have lost one of her Seven Deadly Bodies due to the epidemic. If she drank the rumored clan-annihilating wine in person, she was afraid that several lives would not be saved.

call!
As if he had noticed something unusual happening in the tavern, Elder Yunxia, ​​who had been walking leisurely, came running over frantically, with white clouds swirling around him.

"Who are you? Tell me your name!" Elder Yunxia shouted angrily from a distance, his hair and beard flying. The sickly couple were guests who did the dirty work for Daoshan. In the territory of East Yongzhou, no one had the qualifications to challenge Daoshan's majesty.
