Chapter 145: Massive Capture
"It is my wish to share your Majesty's worries!"
When Shen Gongbao heard this, he immediately felt relieved, then bowed to Li Qing and said seriously.
Li Qing laughed heartily and said, "My dear minister, you are loyal, and I cherish your kindness. However, I cannot take your things for nothing. How about this? I will give you some rewards."
After saying this, Li Qing looked at Shen Gongbao's data panel, then raised his hand and said calmly: "As the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, I command the laws of the universe and the rules of the ancient world to descend and grant Shen Gongbao supreme cultivation!"
Accompanied by the blessing of two Human Emperor attribute points.
Rumble~
Countless rules of heaven descended from the sky and directly penetrated into Shen Gongbao's body!
Shen Gongbao was about to politely decline Li Qing's reward at this moment, but he was suddenly stunned!
He had excellent aptitude and high comprehension, so he reacted immediately, quickly moved his body, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Countless rules poured into Tian Ling. Shen Gongbao closed his eyes tightly and used his original Spirit Leopard Swallowing Soul and Devouring Essence technique to harmonize and absorb these rules.
He was originally a Daluo Jinxian, but because of his own pride, he abandoned the teachings of the Chan Sect that he had practiced for thousands of years, and thus fell to the level of the ninth level of True Immortal.
And now, with the blessing of Li Qing's Emperor attribute points, his cultivation level just kept rising as if it was a natural process. In the blink of an eye, he restored his original level of Daluo Jinxian (level 4).
But how could two Human Emperor attribute points simply restore him to his original level? If that was all he needed to recover, I'm afraid one point would be enough.
Therefore, after Shen Gongbao recovered his cultivation, he still did not open his eyes, but his face was full of calmness and joy. He frantically harmonized the rules that fell from the sky and transformed them into his own cultivation and Taoism!
Daluo Jinxian (level 5)!
Daluo Jinxian (level six)!
The Golden Immortal in the physical body (level one)!
Physical body Daluo Jinxian (level 2)!
…
This continued until the strength improvement caused by the two Human Emperor attribute points of the physical body Daluo Jinxian (level 4) and Daluo Jinxian (level 6) was completely over!
Only then did Shen Gongbao slowly open his eyes.
After his physical body broke through to the Golden Immortal level, his eyes completely turned into the round pupils of a human being, no longer different from those of other humans!
Li Qing smiled and looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "My dear, what do you think?"
Shen Gongbao was stunned for a moment. He stretched out his hand to look, then touched his lower abdomen. Suddenly he stood up, then knelt on his knees, crying, "Your Majesty, I deeply thank you for your grace to save my life! Your Majesty, I deeply thank you!"
With heartfelt gratitude, Shen Gongbao lowered his head and kowtowed.
Upon seeing this, Li Qing immediately reached out and helped Shen Gongbao up, saying solemnly, "My dear, there is no need to do this. I am your ruler and your subject, and we are one. Just remember everything in your heart!"
"I am deeply grateful."
Shen Gongbao's eyes were filled with tears, and he sobbed and whispered.
Li Qing then smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, my dear, you are also a famous figure in the Three Realms and Six Paths. Why are you crying all the time? Go down and carefully comprehend the various rules you just learned. Maybe you can make another breakthrough or two."
"promise."
Upon seeing this, Shen Gongbao nodded immediately, then bowed to Li Qing again before turning around and walking out of the imperial study.
"Everything is ready, only the east wind and the great witch's blood are missing!"
Li Qing waited until Shen Gongbao left the imperial study before he slowly sighed and put the animal skin into the system space.
As for the innate jade mother pieces, the ten thousand gold sands, the innate ice silk and other items, although they are rare, with Li Qing's status as the emperor, these things can be found at any time. In other words, he now only lacks the east wind of the great witch's essence blood.
Twelve Pluto Flags!
Li Qing felt that he could make this Chaos Treasure very quickly.
Li Qing thought in his heart, with the corners of his mouth curled up, then he returned to the desk and began to deal with memorials and official documents.
There was no morning court the next day.
All the officials had already gone to ten miles outside Chaoge City to welcome Grand Tutor Wen, while Li Qing, holding Jiang Qian in his arms, slept until noon. Then he lazily got up, washed, had his meal, and finally pretended to wait for the Grand Tutor's return in the Wanshou Hall.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye the sun was high in the sky, and it was already noon!
Ten miles away from the north gate of Chaoge, a black cloud slowly appeared in the distant sky.
The black cloud was getting closer and closer, until finally, Wen Zhong's 200,000-strong vanguard army appeared!
“Boom boom boom!”
As the army approached, salutes roared and drums and music sounded into the sky. Countless people cheered, low-level officials began to kneel, and high-level officials walked towards them with smiles on their faces.
Half an hour later.
Li Qing sat comfortably in the Wanshou Hall, while Wen Zhong entered the Wanshou Hall together with the congratulations of Shang Rong, the prime minister on the left, Bi Gan, the prime minister on the right, and many senior officials, middle officials and military generals.
"Your Majesty, I, Wen Zhong, pay my respects to you!"
Once inside the hall, Wen Zhong and the others stopped exchanging pleasantries and returned to their respective seats. Wen Zhong, helmet in hand, walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger to Li Qing's seat. He knelt down and bowed to the ground, shouting, "Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long, long live His Majesty!"
Even though Wen Zhong was Emperor Xin's teacher, and even though Wen Zhong regarded Emperor Xin as his own son or nephew, the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects could not be abolished.
"Grand Master, please stand up quickly."
Li Qing, on the other hand, laughed heartily, quickly stood up, walked down the golden steps, walked to Wen Zhong, offered his hand to help him up, and said, "Grandmaster, you have been exhausted all the way here!"
Wen Zhong then stood up and said in a deep voice, "Serving the Shang Dynasty, I am not tired! Serving Your Majesty, I am not suffering!"
Li Qing smiled, patted Wen Zhong on the shoulder, then turned around and returned to the throne. He then said calmly, "My dear Wen, how were the results of this trip to the north? What did you harvest?"
"Return to your majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong straightened his body, his eyes gleaming with brilliance as he shouted, "On this journey to the north, our Great Shang has achieved a complete victory...!"
Wen Zhong spoke in a rhythmic and stirring voice as he recounted his experiences in the north in an extremely heroic manner. Especially when he talked about how the seventy-one barbarian families in the North Sea were defeated and massacred by the army, his face was full of murderous intent.
"Through this campaign, our army has seized over 680 million cattle and sheep from the north, as well as countless furs and medicinal herbs. I have taken the initiative to leave 100 million cattle and sheep to Beibingguan to be used to restore local livelihoods and compensate them for the years of suffering they have endured during the war. The remaining 580 million will be driven along the way by a million-strong army and sold to merchants through major city gates. This will be converted into silver to replenish the national treasury and compensate the soldiers who died in the battle."
Wen Zhong said this and glanced at Li Qing. Seeing Li Qing's face full of approval, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "The money we get is enough to cover the taxes of the whole country of Da Shang for two years!"
