The Pyu people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
Their home is back.
Despite the loss of food and money, Princess Chizhen said, "Once the royal family restores order, we will definitely request assistance from the Queen's Empire and the Jade Dragon Kingdom to rebuild our homeland as soon as possible."
On the Lantern Festival of the fourth year of the Yulong era, the fifteenth prince of Pyu ascended the throne, and Princess Chizhen was appointed regent. Pyu then began a large-scale purge of spies.
Regardless of nationality, any foreigner within five generations shall be expelled from the country, and anyone who is associated with the name "Dongli" shall be executed!
At the same time, the Pyu Kingdom and the Queen's Kingdom signed a friendly neighborly agreement: the Pyu Kingdom would become a vassal state of the Queen's Empire for generations and pay tribute annually.
Empress Lu Feiyan has come all this way, she can't go back empty-handed, can she?
The Pyu Kingdom is particularly rich in copper and iron mines, so Princess Chizhen, who has nothing to offer, said to Lu Feiyan, "If Your Majesty does not mind, please feel free to take away the smelted copper and pig iron."
At present, copper and pig iron are the preferred materials for making weapons. Generally, they are strategic materials under the control of the imperial court, and ordinary people are not allowed to use them casually. Even buying a kitchen knife requires an application.
The Pyu Kingdom is rich in copper and iron mines, and owes Lu Feiyan a great debt of gratitude, so Princess Chizhen is allowed to be taken by Lu Feiyan at will.
Lu Feiyan smiled, her big, round eyes crinkling: "Then, I won't stand on ceremony!"
He said to Yunyang and Yunhe, "You two, take them away, take as many as you can."
Yunyang was overjoyed. They had come by boat, and the large ship was anchored on an island outside Pyu Kingdom.
You're welcome. Bring the Miracle and the Liberty over here.
Both ships were fully loaded and only stopped when they reached above the waterline.
One boatload of pig iron, one boatload of copper.
They're all already smelted; we can go back and use them to make weapons.
Lu Feiyan herself was not polite either, but since Pyu was her vassal state, she could come and take it at any time.
On the second day of the second month of the fourth year of the Jade Dragon era, the dragon raised its head.
The large ship returned to China, and Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao celebrated the achievements of Yunyang, Yunhe, and Xu Li.
Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu received the official letter—
Xiandou: The soul array has been destroyed. May Buddha bless His Majesty the Emperor of Jade Dragon Kingdom for ten thousand years.
Pyu Kingdom: The Soul Array has been cleared. Pyu Kingdom and Jade Dragon Kingdom have been friendly for generations and will never invade each other.
Queen's Empire: Your Majesty Emperor Chen and Emperor An, all the Japanese have been cut down. You helped me seize my first vassal state, so I will send you several ships of copper and pig iron every year.
Xie Zhaozhao said that Fei Yan is the most genuine.
On the fifth day of the second month of the fourth year of the Yulong era, a strange tale was published in the supplement of the Yulong Daily.
The Soul-Summoning Formation
In a magical place, there was a wealthy and powerful country. People flew in the sky on iron birds, and could fly around the entire continent in an hour. Weapons could hit the royal family at the western end of the continent from the eastern end.
However, some people do not cherish such a comfortable life.
There was a woman who was skilled at concocting poisons. The poisons she concocted would cause people to lose their minds and turn them into immortal killing puppets.
Many people were deceived by her, took her poison, and not only lost their lives, but were also turned into invulnerable killers.
Eventually, she became infamous, was captured, and burned alive.
Even the underworld wouldn't accept her after she died, so her ghost wandered between heaven and earth.
One day, she was suddenly summoned to another world by a soul-summoning array. It turned out that a family's daughter had died of illness, and they were summoning her soul, but instead of bringing her back, they summoned this evil spirit, who then possessed her body.
She discovered that the area was extremely poor and backward, and the people were not very intelligent. So she concocted a poison that, once ingested, would transform anyone who played the bamboo flute into an invincible army of killers.
These people have lost all reason. They can kill people with their bare hands without weapons. Their only hobby is eating the flesh and blood of living people. Once bitten by them, you will become a puppet just like them.
She quickly went to the emperor of that country and told him that she could not only grant him the whole world, but also make them immortal.
The emperor saw her battle puppet soldiers, including his father and mother who had come back to life. Although they looked dazed, they were alive, moving freely and possessing formidable fighting power.
The emperor and the entire nation fervently revered her, treating her as a deity.
She controlled an ever-growing army of puppet soldiers, which conquered the entire continent. These puppet soldiers devoured human flesh and blood, turning the entire human race into a living hell.
She enjoys manipulating men. If they are willing to serve her, she gives them a hallucinogenic, addictive drug that won't completely rob them of their minds. If they disobey her, they become her murderous puppets.
She slowly became the queen of the whole world.
Eventually, more and more people discovered the truth and joined forces to set fire to her and her puppet soldiers, burning them to death.
After her death, she was cast into the Avici Hell of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, where she remained imprisoned for a thousand years.
Even in the deepest hell, she was still restless. She concocted poison and tricked the ghost messengers into eating it, which helped her escape from hell.
She had barely left the underworld when she sensed someone summoning ghosts again...
