Chapter 121 Night Detective
How to change the situation as quickly as possible?
Change the ecology of the land beneath your feet?
Of course, it is to overthrow the corrupt and backward empire and create a more dynamic new dynasty!
Next.
Yu Xiao’s focus.
It is to speed up this process.
How to speed up? Three words immediately popped up in Yu Xiao's mind:
Kill the emperor!
This thought.
He had this experience when he first came to Dajing.
The reason why the Dajing Empire has fallen into its current situation is partly due to too many accumulated problems in the late period of the empire, and partly due to the old emperor's incompetence and various mysterious operations!
of course.
Killing an emperor is not like killing a pig.
Be prepared and plan well.
Yu Xiao was not strong enough in the past, and when his own safety could not be guaranteed, he naturally would not put this matter on the agenda too early.
nowadays.
As a martial saint of Lian Gang.
Yu Xiao is confident enough!
It is impossible to overthrow a country by one's own strength, even if you are a martial saint. You can only give it a boost when it is on the verge of collapse.
Under the current situation.
Once the emperor dies, with internal and external pressures acting simultaneously, the Dajing Dynasty will immediately fall apart.
Of course for Yu Xiao.
Killing is to solve problems.
Not to create more problems.
If the Jingting collapsed completely, it would lead to warlord separatism and external powers taking advantage of the situation to divide up the spoils, which would be putting the cart before the horse.
The emperor can be killed.
The great scene can perish.
But killing the emperor and destroying Dajing are just processes, not goals.
The key is whether we can support a new force that can stabilize the situation!
If such a force does not exist, it only means that the time is not yet ripe. Killing the old emperor like a dog will only lead to the collapse of the empire and the collapse of order, and the world will fall into decades of long war.
This defeats the purpose of his end.
It is not a good thing for the world and the people.
Therefore, in the past few years, Yu Xiao has been funding the Daxia Association, while at the same time closely observing the operation of the Daxia Association.
so far.
This salvation organization has been dormant for many years.
It is indeed different from any previous uprising.
They are thoughtful, have faith, are energetic, have strong learning abilities, constantly absorb advanced concepts from various countries, and have mature talent pool organization and management.
It is undeniable that there are shortcomings and areas that need improvement, but it is a force worthy of support.
This way.
Strength and timing.
Both elements are complete.
This old emperor must be killed!
Although Yu Xiao had never met him before, he had already disliked him for a long time.
This move will not only make his thoughts clear and his mood refreshed, but also make his reputation reach its peak and reach the limit in one fell swoop!
After all, is there anything in the world that could bring more prestige than personally killing the emperor and promoting a new dynasty to replace him?
Yu Xiao almost couldn't help it.
Fly directly to the Forbidden City overnight.
However, he still calmed himself down for the time being. Although this was a big thing that needed to be done, he still had to plan carefully how to do it.
He is always cautious.
Never underestimate any opponent.
Especially after passing Ruilian City, Yu Xiao felt that although Emperor Qian was stupid, he was not necessarily incompetent. This old man must be hiding a lot of secrets.
The grand scene was ruined in an instant.
We cannot rule out the possibility of human factors involved.
Therefore, before taking action against Emperor Qian, we must at least figure out what this guy is thinking and doing.
Other than that.
The grand scene is decaying.
The Forbidden City is still an absolute forbidden area for the underworld.
No one knows how many masters and strange people are lurking among them. Even if you are very powerful, you have to be cautious.
While thinking.
Alice walked in and said, "My father is here to see you!"
"Mr. Williams? Let him in."
"Yes!"
Zach Williams walks in.
When he saw the young man in front of him, his face was full of awe.
"Mr. Yu!"
"No need to be polite, sit down and talk."
Yu Xiao is now cooperating very happily with the Williams family, and he himself owns more than 30% of the shares in Williams Company and the bank.
It can be said.
Yu Xiao now.
Williams' partner.
He is also a big supporter of Williams.
It was precisely because of Yu Xiao's help that when other foreign companies were forced to leave the Guangyue market due to the turbulent situation, Williams & Co. was not affected, but instead took the opportunity to grab a large market share.
Now Williams & Co.'s transoceanic smuggling business is in full swing.
They purchased large quantities of supplies, food, and even arms from other places and even overseas and sold them to the Daxia Association.
In addition, the export of local tea, ceramics, and silk was mostly handled by Williams & Co., with almost no competition.
Relying on Dajing business.
You can make a lot of money.
The whole family is thriving.
If nothing unexpected happens, in just over ten years, the Williams family will become one of the top ten families in the Star Country!
"Mr. Yu, I'm here to say goodbye to you!" Zach said, "I will be returning home by ship soon."
"So fast?"
"We must take action as soon as possible to live up to Mr. Yu's support and guidance!"
"Alright!"
Yu Xiao was not surprised.
Zak came to Dajing to expand the territory, but his base camp has always been in the Star Flag Country.
Dajing's business is booming.
And he has Yu Xiao as his great backer.
You can rest assured that your son Richard will take over.
As for why he was in a hurry to return home? Of course, it was related to Yu Xiao's arrangement for the Williams family.
Yu Xiao judged.
The world situation will continue to be turbulent.
Dajing will be reborn in the next ten years.
But overall, there is still a lot of work to be done. It will take at least one generation of accumulation and effort to fully complete the construction and keep up with the international level of industrialization.
During this period, it will also face threats from external forces such as England, Japan, and Russia.
Think globally.
Take a look at the general situation.
The place with the greatest opportunities is neither in Asia nor in Europe, but on the continent across the ocean.
The industrial output value of the Star-Flag Country has just quietly surpassed that of England. The domestic infrastructure is becoming increasingly complete, and the industrial supporting facilities are perfected.
the most important is.
It is isolated overseas.
There is a safe environment.
The world is full of conflicts. When a world war is about to break out, this is the only place that is not affected. It will definitely attract global talent, capital and technology.
The next few decades will be a huge development opportunity for the United States. It can almost become a global technology and financial center, or even a new hegemon.
Yu Xiao wants to control more industries to assist in future cultivation or explore other worlds, and he will naturally follow the trend of the times.
Follow Yu Xiao’s instructions.
This time after Zack returned to China.
He will actively support political forces that can represent the interests of the Williams family, and at the same time will start a global layout for Yu Xiao.
Now we have entered the early twentieth century. Although there are differences between this world and the previous one, the general trend and pattern should not change.
Yu Xiao is well aware that with the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, the global demand for energy is growing dramatically, and the demand for oil and natural gas will far exceed imagination.
The prospects for large-scale investment in oil exploration, mining, refining and sales are beyond imagination. With the development of globalization and financial markets, emerging businesses such as securities, insurance, hedge funds and private equity are also lucrative businesses.
The next few decades will see a huge explosion in science and technology, medicine, military industry, and culture. We can invest in inventions that can change the world in advance.
For example, airplanes, televisions, penicillin, and the nuclear energy industry!
All of them are of epoch-making significance.
As the saying goes, those who are in authority are confused and those who are onlookers will understand.
Even the most visionary scholars and businessmen find it difficult to break free from the limitations of the times and gain insight into the industry and its future development and changes.
Yu Xiao can give the most precise direction, but the emergence of many industries and technological revolutions requires supporting facilities and talents.
This is why.
Yu Xiao will let Zach return home first.
He is a partner of the Williams family and has founded several multinational companies. He has a lot of money to spend, so naturally he has to find ways to spend it.
As a big scene person.
There are many things that Yu Xiao finds inconvenient to do.
But it is much more convenient to wear Williams' vest.
"Please rest assured, I will remember all of Mr. Yu's instructions. The Williams family will always follow Mr. Yu!"
Zach's admiration for Yu Xiao comes from the bottom of his heart.
Isn’t it because this man eliminated Sir Morton who controlled Guangzhou’s trade and killed Marquis Nathaniel who was feared by the world!
Nothing but bloody wrists.
Only powerful force.
Zach might be afraid of fear.
But I will never bow down to you from the bottom of my heart.
What Zach really admires about Mr. Yu is his outstanding insight into the world's general situation and the industry.
It can be said.
He gave his analysis.
More valuable than priceless diamonds.
This person not only possesses extremely powerful military force that is enough to influence the situation in an area, but also possesses vision and wisdom that ordinary people do not possess.
As long as the Williams family holds on to Mr. Yu, they will surely grow into a giant that influences the world in the future.
"By the way, Mr. Yu, I will build a luxurious manor castle for you in China. You are welcome to come to Star Flag Country to live and vacation at any time."
"Go check it out when you have time."
Yu Xiao is very interested in the current developments in North America and Europe as well as the status quo of supernatural powers.
The journey is just too long.
It's very inconvenient to go back and forth.
When you have a higher level of cultivation in the future, or have purchased a better flying instrument, you may want to travel around the world, and perhaps you will gain more.
Two days later.
Zach left by boat.
At this time, another visitor came to Yu Mansion.
This person is none other than the old acquaintance Ye Biqing, who was once a small magistrate of Mei County and is now the vice president of the Daxia Association!
He has always held a high position in the Daxia Association.
He is one of the elders of the Daxia Association.
"Mr. Yu!" Ye Biqing bowed respectfully when he saw Yu Xiaoxian.
Yu Xiao asked: "President Ye is very busy these days, but he suddenly came to visit in person today. I guess there must be something important."
"Not bad!"
Ye Biqing nodded: "Mr. Yu asked us to investigate suspicious behavior related to Jing Ting. We have made some discoveries recently, and they are related to the war on the front line."
"Fighting on the front line?"
Yu Xiao has been paying close attention to the situation recently.
He knew that Daxia and Jingting troops had fought several battles in Shaozhou over the past half month, and the fighting was now quite intense with both sides winning and losing.
Both sides are investing more and more personnel.
It is said that the current total scale exceeds 300,000.
A war of this scale is not something that a civilian organization like the Wumeng can intervene in.
Of course, as a civilian martial arts force, the Wumeng has the obligation to resist foreign invasions, but it is not suitable for openly participating in politics and civil wars.
Ye Biqing certainly knew it well.
He came to visit not to ask for help, but to carry out the investigation that Yu Xiao had requested before, which recently produced some results.
"These are photos taken on the battlefield." Ye Biqing took out a few photos: "Please take a look, Mr. Yu." All the photos were taken on the battlefield.
There are several or even dozens of corpses in each photo. Judging from the wounds and postures of these battlefield corpses, they should have died in battle.
but.
The weird thing is.
Each body showed signs of slight weathering, like a corpse that had died in the desert, dried up due to the evaporation of moisture from the wind and sun.
"Whether it's our army or the enemy's fallen soldiers, they will all experience mysterious weathering phenomena in about three days."
Ye Biqing explained: "All the blood will quickly dry up or evaporate, so we suspect that there is a demon in Jingting!"
According to Ye Biqing's description.
This phenomenon is very common, considering that there are supernatural powers in this world, as well as vampires who feed on human blood.
It's hard not to be suspicious!
Originally, although this kind of thing was unusual, it did not cause any substantial damage, so Daxia might not pay special attention to it.
After all now.
The war is the key.
But because Yu Xiao informed Daxia Association that Jing Ting might be abnormal after the Ruiliancheng incident, the top leaders of Daxia Association paid attention and became suspicious.
They are worried too.
Is there some conspiracy behind this?
Although it does not affect the situation now, what if Jing Ting has some bad tricks? In order to nip it in the bud, I went to his house as soon as possible.
"I can't tell anything from the photos and descriptions alone. I need to conduct an on-site investigation to draw conclusions."
"Mr. Yu is going to Shaozhou?"
"Ok!"
"This... The situation on the Shaozhou battlefield is currently dangerous. If Mr. Yu insists on going, I can arrange for a few generals to protect him."
"No need, I can protect myself."
Yu Xiao rejected this good intention.
After all, with his current level of cultivation, it would be an exaggeration for him to fight against thousands of people alone, but he can easily advance and retreat among tens of thousands of troops.
Ye Biqing just mentioned it casually.
He now highly suspected that Yu Xiao was the hidden martial saint in the Martial Alliance, and arranging guards for a person like him would be a burden!
……
That night.
Yu Xiao took action.
It is nearly 230 kilometers from Yangcheng to Shaozhou. With his current magical power, he can reach the destination in about an hour by driving the spirit bamboo boat.
"Is this the battlefield?"
Shaozhou Prefecture was a relatively large prefecture with a total of one prefectural city and eight county towns.
Currently, six of the eight county towns are under the control of the Daxia Volunteer Army, while the Jingting troops mainly use Shaozhou Prefecture as their base to deploy their defense line.
The Shaozhou battlefield was essentially a siege war.
After capturing various county towns, the Daxia Association surrounded Shaozhou Prefecture with an army of over 100,000 and launched several rounds of attacks on the prefecture.
in this process.
Jingting continued to increase his troops.
They also tried to retake the city several times.
The two sides fought back and forth with Shaozhou City as the center, and both sides won and lost. It is said that the number of casualties has reached tens of thousands.
This is a cruel battlefield!
Fighting with guns, cannons, and real swords.
Once the two sides start fighting, it will be like a meat grinder being started, resulting in thousands of casualties every day.
Yu Xiao flew around the outskirts of Shaozhou Prefecture and saw that the ground near the city was bumpy and full of traces of artillery bombardment. There were also corpses in some pits and trenches that had not been cleaned up in time.
He sniffed.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder, but not much smell of blood, at least that was inconsistent with the casualties on both sides.
"There is indeed something fishy!"
Yu Xiao then activated the perception technique.
He has been practicing the art of perception for more than ten years and has already achieved minor proficiency, and is not far from major proficiency.
When the perception effect is activated.
Yu Xiao could clearly feel that the battlefield was shrouded in a thin blood aura, which was rising and evaporating into the air at an abnormal speed.
"Is this... some kind of formation?"
"Is it some kind of method of offering sacrifice to living beings?!"
Although Yu Xiao had never encountered this kind of method, there were all kinds of strange things in the world of cultivating immortals. Even if he had never tasted pork, he should have seen a pig run.
There are many extreme evil cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. In order to practice or cultivate themselves, these people will massacre innocent people on a large scale.
As small as a village or a town.
As big as a city or even a country.
Demonic cultivators have no morals at all.
The cultivation techniques they practice can easily distort their temperaments and minds, and they eventually become more and more crazy and bloodthirsty, thus becoming the public enemy of the world of immortal cultivation.
Therefore.
The vast majority of demonic sects.
They are all targets of encirclement and suppression by the righteous sects.
It is said that eight thousand years ago, before Qinglan Valley was founded, there was an extremely powerful demonic sect in the area where Qinglan Valley was located.
This evil sect had millions of disciples during its heyday, but was later wiped out by a joint force of seven righteous forces.
One of them is the predecessor of Qinglan Valley, so in the Qinglan Valley's Sutra Library, one can often see some fragments of magic cultivation books.
This is how Yu Xiaogang got the "Fragments of the Mysterious Tao Sutra" that he exchanged.
of course.
The part about practicing the exercises.
It has long been erased.
All the versions that disciples can see are the castrated versions.
Yu Xiao felt very surprised at this moment, because no matter what method this method was, it was undoubtedly not something that a mortal or a warrior could use.
Could it be that.
In the Jingting.
Are there any Qigong practitioners?
Yu Xiao also had an idea at the same time.
In recent decades, large-scale uprisings broke out every few days in the Dajing court, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
Western powers have repeatedly invaded Dajing's territory. Take the 11-nation coalition a year ago as an example, which caused the loss of one million people in Zhili area.
Could it be that these were defeated?
Isn’t it entirely Jing Ting’s incompetence?
Could there be some unknown conspiracy or calculation involved?
Some people in Jingting tried to take advantage of the war to sacrifice living people for spiritual practice or to achieve some purpose.
The grand world should not be underestimated.
The water is deeper than I thought!
Although Yu Xiao could detect unusual phenomena on the battlefield through perception, he could not tell what kind of formation or method it was.
A slight hesitation.
Yu Xiao decided to investigate along the direction of blood flow. Although the water in Dajing was deeper than he had imagined, Yu Xiao still maintained confidence in his strength.
These are wisps of the blood and energy of living beings.
All rushed to the city.
more specifically.
Rushed into the government office.
Yu Xiao discovered through observation that the government office was filled with powerful masters inside and outside, most of whom had a strength of around the third rank.
It is impossible for an ordinary palace residence to have so many top-notch palace masters. This place should have become the command center of the army to suppress the rebellion.
Zhang Hongtian, commander of the Jing army.
Most likely he lives in it.
Yu Xiao used the breath-concealing and invisibility techniques to sneak into the backyard silently.
The backyard was heavily guarded, with a sentry post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.
And right in the middle of the backyard.
There is a small altar two meters high.
There are eight battle flags planted near this altar.
Next to each flag stands a burly guard who is as tall as an iron tower.
These eight guards, each wearing a black iron mask and covered in fine iron armor, wielding a long-handled broadsword as their weapon, looked very powerful and were definitely elite guards picked from thousands.
Then he looked towards the altar.
Eight flags formed a formation.
Let the invisible blood and energy from all directions be attracted.
Finally, they all gathered in a small black tripod on the altar.
Even from a distance, Yu Xiao could smell a strong smell of blood coming from the small tripod.
This kind of blood is different from ordinary blood. It does not have any masculine feeling. Instead, it gives people a cold and weird feeling.
"What kind of magic is this?"
Yu Xiao had never seen such a scene in the world of immortal cultivation.
What's more, this Grand View World? He couldn't help but become more curious.
But before he could take a closer look, he saw an inconspicuous bell on the altar suddenly rang.
Ding-dang-dang!
Ding-dang-dang!
This bell is inconspicuous.
The sound can be very harsh.
The eight flag guards all held their swords tightly.
Their eyes behind the masks were full of vigilance and they took up a defensive formation.
"There's an intruder!"
"There's an intruder!"
"..."
The nearby guards drew their weapons, their faces filled with nervousness, and immediately gathered towards the altar in the backyard.
And at the same time.
Three figures fell from the sky.
They were coming from the direction of the main house.
In just a few leaps, he arrived at the backyard.
The leader among them was thin, with regular features, and looked like an upright old scholar.
however.
But Yu Xiao knew him.
To be exact, I have seen his photo.
This person is basically a household name in Dajing.
It was none other than Zhang Hongtian, the Governor-General of Zhili and the head of the nine governors-general of Dajing.
"Haha, don't hide, I know you are in this yard!"
Zhang Hongtian glanced across the backyard, but did not see any suspicious figures, nor could he sense any presence of the other person.
But he could be sure.
The other party is right in front of him.
But his concealment technique is extremely sophisticated.
"In the entire Dajing and even the whole world, the only people who have the ability to break in here are probably the distinguished guests from the Wumeng!" Zhang Hongtian said indifferently: "Since you are already here, why don't you dare to show up and talk?"
Yu Xiao heard this.
No doubt surprised.
Scholar Zhang seemed to know that he would come.
His deployment in this place also looked like a trap specially prepared to kill himself.
"interesting!"
Yu Xiao took out the Bagua formation plate.
Now that you have come, you have come.
He certainly wouldn't leave like this.
Let's have some fun with these people first, and take this opportunity to find out what the emperor is up to.
As the saying goes.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Yu Xiaoben was planning to take action against the emperor in the near future.
But now it seems that the world of Dajing is far more complicated than I imagined, and there are still some unknowns and secrets that I don’t know.
Instead of rushing to the capital to assassinate.
It would be better to deal with the most important minister of Dajing first.
This move can not only help the Daxia Association and accelerate the victory of the rebel army, but also obtain the information they want to know in the process.
(PS: I will update the typos and sentences first and correct them later. I am a bit busy today and don’t have enough time, so I can only update it now!)
Please vote at the beginning of the month! The main storyline of the Grand View World has entered its final stage. Although the main storyline of this world is about to end, the Grand View World will continue to play a role in other worlds and have derivative branches.
