Shockingly.

All the scenes before my eyes were shattered.

In a daze, it seemed like I was back here again.

Zhuang Ming's heart palpitations still existed and he was trembling slightly.

He seemed to have spanned endless years and faced a powerful ancient dragon.

"The sky weeps with blood, the king dies, the demons cause chaos, the soul-gathering bell rings, and the holy palace collapses."

His breathing was stagnant and he murmured, a turbulent wave surged in his heart.

He didn't know what these eighteen characters symbolized.

But he could feel that even as powerful as the ancient dragon, he also showed despair and sadness.

In an instant, Zhuang Ming's mind was completely absorbed in these eighteen words, thinking about the meaning of these eighteen words.

With just eighteen words, he instantly sketched a grand and tragic picture in his mind.

"Master..."

Liu He's soft call made him wake up.

Zhuang Ming slowly exhaled.

He clenched his fists and looked as usual.

Whatever that means, it's not what's in front of you.

There are many things ahead of us.

"Although King Chen has fallen into my hands, the matter is not over yet."

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "We..."

His voice suddenly paused and he looked forward.

In the open space ahead, corpses were strewn across the field, and rain and blood were mixed together.

And the girl who was soaked all over, with messy hair on her temples, cried and ran all the way in the muddy blood, took off her shoes, and ran in front of her.

"Master..."

"Yeah." Zhuang Ming nodded lightly.

"I thought I would never see you again." She whispered.

"No." Zhuang Ming felt the power from the dragon and said slowly: "From now on, we will never encounter such a dangerous situation again."

"Yeah." She nodded heavily.

"walk into."

Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and took her hand, only to feel it was as cold as frost, just like when they first met.

——

Fengcheng.

Master Zhao did not follow King Chen to Zhongwang Mountain.

He did not dislike that young man, but rather admired him.

It's just a pity that Zhuang's Trading Company, which had built up great momentum in just six years, suddenly collapsed because it offended the wrong people.

Tens of thousands of troops besieged Zhongwang Mountain, and Zhuang Ming had no chance of being spared.

It is even difficult to say how many people under the name of Zhuang's Trading Company could survive the serious crime of rebellion.

"I can't go to Zhongwang Mountain, so I can't give you a ride."

Mr. Zhao poured a glass of wine, poured it on the ground, and sighed: "Zhuang Ming, have a good trip."

At this point in the situation, there is no room for change.

No matter how clever and clever he is, he will definitely die.

"Sir...Sir...something big happened..."

Just then, I saw a servant running in in a panic, shouting.

Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "What's wrong? The army has massacred Zhongwang Mountain?"

This was expected and not surprising.

The servant had an unspeakable look on his face, shook his head quickly, and gasped: "No..."

"no?"

"The Zhennan Army that besieged Zhongwang Mountain collapsed."

"What?"

"Some soldiers fled into Fengcheng, as if they were crazy and confused."

"Are you sure it's the Zhennan Army?" Mr. Zhao's expression changed.

"It's the Zhennan Army." The servant gasped: "Our men stopped them and were almost killed by the Zhennan Army's escape... We just suppressed them. After questioning, they said that Qianlong Villa

Inside, there is a dragon hidden inside. It is invulnerable to weapons and even the divine crossbow. It can call the wind and rain, sweep across thousands of armies, and has the power to move mountains and fill seas."

"Nonsense." Mr. Zhao frowned. He was a scholar, and he always dismissed legends about gods, ghosts, and strange things as mythical and false stories that deceived the people.

"Really... those deserters from the Zhennan Army said so..."

"deserter……"

Master Zhao frowned.

He has never seen any gods, ghosts, or monsters, nor does he believe there are any gods or dragons in this world.

But if the Zhennan Army is really defeated, what does that mean?

Doesn't it mean that the more than 20,000 elite Zhennan troops who besieged Zhongwang Mountain were defeated by Zhuang Ming?

Mr. Zhao's eyes gradually became incredulous.

No matter how smart Zhuang Ming is, he is just a businessman who has amassed a lot of wealth. How did he defeat the Zhennan Army?

Could it be that he secretly raised private soldiers?

But how many thousands of soldiers and horses can the mere Qianlong Villa hide?

What's more, more than 20,000 elite Zhennan Army troops were all routed and fled. Could it be that Qianlong Villa has an army of 100,000 people?

Or are there other reasons?

What was the reason that led to the defeat of more than 20,000 Zhennan troops?

"Where is King Chen?"

"I heard that he was crushed to death by a dragon."

"..."

Mr. Zhao felt that this matter was not credible, but he did not scold him anymore. He just whispered: "Hurry up and send someone to investigate! Be sure to find out whether the news is true or not!"

The servant quickly responded: "After seeing that the Zhennan Army was defeated, someone already went to investigate."

Mr. Zhao nodded slightly, then paused again and said: "Those who are imprisoned in Zhuang's Trading Company are treated with courtesy, are not allowed to be beaten or scolded, and are given preferential treatment... In addition, I have issued a strict order to seal up the Zhuang Company."

When a merchant's business is operating, they are not allowed to take advantage of the situation to rob, and no property is allowed to be taken. Moreover, all the things that have been taken previously will be put back. If not, once it is verified, severe punishment will not be given!"

He probably knows the virtues of the men under his command.

Normally it wouldn't matter, but now things were starting to go wrong. Out of caution, he didn't want to offend Zhuang Ming again on a small matter.

"Master... these people..."

"Zhuang Ming is a man whose abyss is as deep as the sea, yet he destroyed sacred objects in public and was convicted of rebellion by King Chen. Even I can't defend him."

Mr. Zhao pondered: "From the moment I heard the news, I felt that this matter was strange. It was not like Zhuang Ming's behavior. But I never thought before that Zhuang Ming could resist the Zhennan Army. Although I didn't know what he was relying on.

What kind of power can he use to defeat the Zhennan Army? But at least he has solved the immediate dilemma. Let’s see what happens later..."

Zhuang Ming first made an act of rebellion and was convicted of irrefutable rebellion.

Although he now has the strength, he defeated the Zhennan army and injured King Chen.

But in the end, it doesn't change the fact that we are openly resisting the law.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhuang's Trading Company will definitely face the encirclement and suppression by the entire Dongsheng Dynasty.

Can Zhuang Ming really hold on?

Master Zhao doesn't know the truth.

But he knew that this young man was very smart and had at least resolved the immediate crisis.

"Listen again, we are only temporarily detaining these people. Before the capital city has convicted them, they are not rebels."

Mr. Zhao paused and said: "If someone from Zhuang's Trading Company comes to contact you, please let me know first..."
