Chapter 98 Arrogance
"Your Majesty, let me take a look at the person who was poisoned by voodoo." Baiyan said.
Zhou An nodded and said, "Zuo Xiang, is there anyone here infected with voodoo?"
"It's in the quarantine area outside the city. I had arranged for famous doctors, but unfortunately they all failed. Moreover, many famous doctors were also infected with voodoo. I had no choice but to give up the method of cracking it." Zhou Di said.
"Arrange someone to take General Baiyan and Rose for examination." Zhou Di said.
"Yes." Tang Manchu responded and asked a soldier to take them there.
The soldier showed a panic expression, but since this was the emperor's order, he dared not disobey and could only grit his teeth and lead the way.
After they left, Zhou Di sighed, "Now all the soldiers are afraid of voodoo. If there is news that someone in the attacking crowd is infected with voodoo, I'm afraid most of the soldiers will not dare to approach."
“This voodoo is an evil method. It is natural for ordinary people to be afraid of it. The General with Hundred Eyes is a centipede demon at the peak of the eighth level of innateness. He has been practicing poison for more than a thousand years.
Although Rose has practiced for less than a hundred years, she is a flower spirit that can naturally sense the properties of flowers and herbs, and can help Admiral Hundred Eyes find the right medicinal materials."
Hearing Zhou An's words, Zhou Di and the soldiers here were shocked again. To ordinary people, being an innate cultivator is already a god-like task. The eighth level of innate cultivators is a senior figure among the gods, who usually only live in books.
Zhou Di sighed, then smiled and said, "During the time I was away, a lot of things really happened in Qianjing. It would be a pity to miss it."
"Haha, Left Prime Minister, you better be prepared. The future court will definitely be beyond your imagination." Zhou An laughed.
Afterwards, Zhou An asked Zhou Di to take him to visit all places in Linsha Pass and talked about the recent happenings in Qianjing. He only allowed Zi Yan and the other two girls to accompany him, and sent everyone else away.
When there were no outsiders around, Zhou An discussed some ideas about the future of the dynasty with Zhou Di, and signed in all the people here. They were all ores, lighting up the entire map and rewarding the middle-grade spiritual weapon Wanli Fengsha Flag.
The two chatted until the evening. Tang Manzhou came to remind them to eat, only to find that it was almost dark. They both felt that they had a very interesting chat. Many of Zhou Di's methods of governing the country were still in their infancy, but Zhou An's opinions, combined with the situation on Earth, were very important and always added the finishing touch.
Zhou Di never thought that one day his ideals would be realized by his ninth brother, who would talk to him freely and give him such important and insightful experience. He was greatly impressed and thought that he should have talked more with his ninth brother back then. He felt deeply regretful that he had very little contact with his ninth brother back then.
Arriving at the side hall, Linsha Pass was an important military location and there was no palace specifically used for banquets, so this side hall could only be used as the venue for the banquet.
Except for the generals on duty, all other generals arrived, and Tang Yan, the commander of the Zhenxi Army, was also invited. To put it bluntly, the Zhenxi Army was the Tang Family Army, and Tang Manchu was Tang Yan's son.
Tang Yan has been guarding the western territory of Qianyuan for many years, so he naturally has his own strengths. He is a third-level innate cultivator and a core disciple of a mid-level sect, so he naturally has his own arrogance.
In addition, Zhou An had a bad reputation. Although he was famous in Qianjing, no one knew about it here. All the major families deliberately concealed information and did not let any information about the emperor leak out. Even Zhou An suspected that the major families only spread negative news about the emperor.
Although Zhou An holds all the power in Qianjing and no one dares to oppose him, he is still unable to manage the areas outside of Qianjing for the time being.
With so many counties across the country, plus the threat from the Ji Tian Sect, he doesn't have time to deal with them for the time being, and the Jin Yi Wei doesn't have that many people, so this problem can only be solved step by step.
He urgently needed a large number of talents to replace the county and county officials across the country, as well as the garrisons in various places. They could not be monopolized by large, medium and small families.
The two walked into the hall together, and Tang Manchu immediately said, "Your Majesty, the three imperial concubines, and the left prime minister, please take a seat."
After they took their seats, Zhou Di saw that there were still four main seats vacant. He frowned and asked, "General Tang, is that Marshal Tang's seat?"
Tang Manzhou frowned and said quickly, "Lord Zuo Xiang, General Tang is busy with military affairs and is on his way. He will be here soon."
Zhou Di frowned. The military camp was not far from Linsha Pass, and it was not a wartime now. It was disrespectful to make the emperor wait at the banquet.
However, Zhou Di didn't say anything now. Since General Tang didn't come, there was no point in saying these things to Tang Manzhou. Although he was also a member of the Tang family, Tang Yan was in charge of the Zhenxi Corps and was one of the four marshals of the empire. He was also the head of the Tang family. How could Tang Manzhou blame him?
Mi Luo, who was sitting next to Zhou An, showed an impatient look. In his eyes, all marshals were ants. They actually made their master wait, which was a capital crime for him.
The three imperial concubines were also unhappy. Suddenly the atmosphere in the hall became depressing. Everyone sat quietly and no one dared to speak.
Tang Manzhou secretly thought that something bad was going to happen. Zhou An looked calm and sat there drinking slowly. However, the left prime minister, Miro and the three imperial concubines looked increasingly unhappy. They secretly blamed their father for underestimating the current emperor and were worried that something might happen this time.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Tang Manzhou stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let's start the banquet. No need to wait."
"Marshal Tang Yan has been guarding the west for many years and has made great contributions. He should wait." Zhou An said.
Tang Manzhou smiled reluctantly and sat down after answering. At this moment, the soldiers here dared not breathe. Tang Manzhou regretted to death, why did he invite his father and others to come.
He signaled his personal guards with his eyes many times to urge them, but after several visits, the people still hadn't arrived, which made him angry.
After waiting for nearly an hour, three generals of the Tang family came in. Tang Heng, Tang Manzhou's eldest brother, walked in front.
Seeing this scene, Tang Manzhou's heart skipped a beat.
Zhou Di was the first to stand up and slam the table, angrily shouting, "What is the Tang family's intention? They made the emperor wait here for half an hour, and Marshal Tang Yan dared not come?"
Tang Heng glanced at Zhou Di, not paying too much attention, and said calmly to Zhou An, "Your Majesty, my father is old and has been a little tired recently, so he won't come."
After he finished speaking, the three of them went back to their seats, not taking Zhou Di's scolding seriously at all.
Their Tang family's power is not in Qianjing. Not to mention that the current emperor is incompetent, even the previous emperor could not control the Tang family.
The three of them all looked disdainful. They just dealt with the emperor in a perfunctory manner and it was very obvious that they didn't even want to salute him. Miro could no longer tolerate such an arrogant attitude.
He suddenly stood up and released the pressure from the peak of the tenth level of the innate realm. The three people from the Tang family who had just walked to his position suddenly felt as if their spirits were being hit hard and their bodies were under tremendous pressure. The three people had no ability to resist at all and knelt directly on the ground.
Tang Yuansi showed a look of shame and anger and wanted to say something, but under this pressure, he could do nothing but think.
"The Tang family is so powerful that they made my master wait for half an hour. Not only that, but Tang Yan dared to take advantage of his seniority in front of my master. These three little brats dared to be so arrogant. Very good."
Mi Luo's murderous intent grew stronger as he spoke. He stepped forward and said loudly to Zhou Anxin: "Master, the Tang family is your subject. They are so disrespectful to you. They must not have the emperor in their hearts. I'm afraid they have been rebelling for a long time. Please allow me to exterminate the entire Tang family.
If the Tang army refuses to obey, let me kill all 800,000 of the Tang army. I will kill them all within three days."
Hearing this, all the soldiers present broke out in cold sweats and their breathing became rapid, but they all lowered their heads and dared not say anything. Although Tang Manzhou was a member of the Tang family, they were all soldiers of Linsha Pass and were not considered the Tang family army.
Tang Manchu and his three sons all turned pale. They were going to be killed together. Others might not know how strong Miro was, but how could they not know?
Moreover, they were frightened when they heard that Miro, such a heaven-defying existence, actually called Zhou An his master. Coupled with the appearance of Qing Ling and Bai Yan before, they felt fear in their hearts when they thought of the new department of the Demon Department.
The generals of the demon tribe are probably at least above the fourth level of innateness, and there are also some above the seventh level of innateness. I just don't know how many such demon generals there are.
Those independent cultivators who were above the fourth level of innateness were as easy to kill as babies in Miro's hands. Although it was a little doubtful that he could kill 800,000 soldiers in three days, it was definitely not a difficult task to kill the entire Tang family.
Although Tang Manchu's family was horrified, Miro's pressure was not only directed at Tang Heng and the other two. The soldiers at Linsha Pass also felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain. They were unable to move at all and could only worry, unable to speak.
