Chapter 461: Dragon Palace Master
It was dark, and the miners had left as it was time for them to leave. The miners who were injured and unable to walk were arranged to stay in a pharmacy and asked the master of Medicine Valley to help look after them.
As the county government had not been presided over by a county magistrate for such a long time, Su Yue asked Qian Qi to find the county magistrate and ask him to temporarily take over the position of county magistrate.
The county magistrate is a local who has been suppressed by Lin Haobei. Now that Lin Haobei has committed a crime, he is asked to act as the county magistrate. He is so happy that he keeps making promises to Su Yue, almost knocking his head to pieces, and promises that he will manage the affairs of the county government well.
Su Yue naturally believed what the county magistrate said. Without Lin Haobei as an obstacle, she would of course try her best to perform. If she performed well, she might even be able to rise to the top.
As for the former yamen runners, Su Yue asked the county magistrate to clean out all those corrupt officials and recruit new ones.
The families of those who were captured and forced to work as miners and died will be registered, and the county government will then distribute the pensions.
This county was severely affected. Eighty percent of the able-bodied laborers were forced to work in the mines, and half of the miners died in the mines. The damage caused to the people is immeasurable, and the only way to compensate them is in the form of money.
"Princess, I have already registered it. Please review it."
As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, the county magistrate pulled out a stack of papers from his sleeve.
Su Yue burst out laughing. This county magistrate was really a shrewd man. He must have made preparations long ago to plot against Lin Haobei.
She asked Yueying to bring her the stack of papers. After she quickly read through them, she looked at the county magistrate with appreciation.
The county magistrate recorded clearly which families in every town and village in the county were captured to work as miners, as well as the basic family situations.
"You've done a good job. You can arrange it tomorrow. The county government office has been raided by me, and I don't have any silver. So, first get 10,000 taels of silver from me."
County Magistrate: "Yes, I will remember that."
"Then go back." Su Yue waved at him and sent him away.
"Yes, Princess, I will take my leave."
The county magistrate bowed and left the house, then happily left the inn, his feet flying as he returned to the county government office.
"Princess, are we going to the mine now?"
As soon as the county magistrate left, Yueying asked Su Yue.
Su Yue pressed her forehead and nodded, "I'll leave right away. I'm worried about your prince. By the way, did you receive any news from them this afternoon?"
Yueying immediately held her head and replied, "I haven't heard from the person in charge of delivering the message that there is any news coming back."
Su Yue frowned: "Then go make some arrangements, we'll leave right away."
She just felt uneasy.
"Princess, who should we take with us? I'll go and notify them right away."
"Let Qianqi stay in the city to take charge, and take two more people with you. The others will stay in the county to provide support."
Murong Li left him ten people, including Yueying, a total of eleven people. In the afternoon, two of them would escort the miners to Qingniu Pass, and she would take two more away. The remaining six people would stay in the city to be ready for support when the time comes.
The Dragon Palace is coming with great force, and there will definitely be casualties among our people.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
After Yueying finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
That night, a group of four people left the city and headed for the mine.
At the edge of the cliff at the mine, Qingyuan was sitting on the cliff, drawing something with his hands.
Countless men in black at the bottom of the mountain rushed towards the cliff, but were stopped by an invisible barrier.
"Palace Master, we have been attacking for almost two days. If this continues, I'm afraid we can't hold on any longer."
A man in black spoke carefully to a man in a black robe.
Although the people in the Dragon Palace are highly skilled in martial arts, they are still human beings and need to eat and sleep. They have been attacking here for two days and two nights without food or water. Even a strong man cannot withstand it.
The Lord of the Dragon Palace stared at Qingyuan behind the barrier without blinking.
Qingyuan seemed to be struggling at this time, with sweat covering his forehead. If Murong Li didn't come, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Seeing how hard he was trying, the Dragon Palace Master let out a bloodthirsty smile. He didn't feel sorry for his men at all. Not only did he not tell them to stop, but he said, "Increase your attack. That bald donkey won't be able to hold out for much longer. If any of you retreat at this moment, I will send you to see the King of Hell."
Several generations of Dragon Palace Masters have exhausted their efforts to finally find out the location of the dragon. As long as they get the dragon's blood essence, they can refine the elixir of immortality. After taking the elixir of immortality, not only can they live forever, but they can also increase their strength.
Now we are only one step away from success, how can we give up? Moreover, people of the Shenlong Palace are born to die for the Shenlong Palace. Now dying for his great cause is a worthy death.
The man in black had no choice but to immediately convey the order of the Lord of the Dragon Palace.
As soon as the man in black gave the order, the people in the Dragon Palace had to use all their strength to attack the invisible barrier. This time it was effective. After a series of attacks, the invisible barrier moved almost imperceptibly.
The Dragon Palace Master was overjoyed when he saw this. He personally shouted, "Everyone, don't stop. Continue to intensify your attacks."
This time he did not stand idly by. He gathered his internal strength and struck the barrier with a fierce palm.
“Crack, crack…”
Finally, the invisible barrier began to crack under the fierce attack of the crowd.
Everyone heard the crackling sound, and as if they were injected with chicken blood, they increased the strength of their hands and attacked continuously.
"puff!"
On the cliff, Qingyuan finally couldn't hold on anymore. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his body swayed, as if he was about to faint.
He gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart why Murong Li hadn't come yet. If he didn't come, he would not be able to protect this world.
He would not be able to complete his mission, could not ascend to the upper realm, and would remain here forever.
By then, this world will be destroyed and there will be no spiritual energy at all. How can he practice cultivation? Not to mention ascending to heaven, it will be difficult for him to make any further progress in his cultivation.
Qingyuan felt so miserable. Looking at the people from the Shenlong Temple opposite, he wanted to jump up and curse.
Do these foolish mortals know what it means to kill a dragon?
"stop!"
Qingyuan immediately yelled.
"Don't stop, attack."
When the Lord of the Dragon Palace saw that his men stopped attacking after hearing Qingyuan's roar, he became anxious and also roared.
As expected, the people from the Dragon Palace attacked again.
The barrier was about to be completely broken.
Qingyuan became even more anxious and shouted, "Master of the Divine Dragon Palace, I urge you to go back."
The Dragon Palace Master snorted coldly, "Hmph! Why should I listen to you, an old bald donkey? I advise you not to resist so stubbornly. Perhaps you can still save your life."
Qingyuan: "Stupid, do you know that by doing this you are destroying this continent?"
The Lord of the Divine Dragon Palace said disdainfully: "So what if it's destroyed, so what if I regret it, I will definitely get that dragon."
