Chapter 133 Princess An's Prophecy
No one dared to speculate about the matters concerning the gods and the Human Emperor, except that the Lord of Changes was about to leave Beiyang, so Village Chief Wang naturally had to inform the County Magistrate Song Deqiu. When Song Deqiu learned about this, he immediately sent people over. As long as they followed the Lord of Changes, there would be no need to worry about who the future Human Emperor would be.
At the same time, in less than an hour, the eight boys under the command of Canglang, the Dragon King of the West Sea, had arrived at the eight counties of Beiyang respectively, met with each county governor, and conveyed the orders of Canglang, the Dragon King.
Every county was building a Dragon King Temple. The Dragon King Canglang of the West Sea took pity on the suffering of the people and did not allow them to offer grain as tribute. They only needed to offer morning dew every day. Before the Human Emperor took over Beiyang, all the food of the people belonged to them and were exempted from grain taxes. The government was only allowed to collect head tax to count the population.
With the deity's servants already here, how could the county governors dare disobey? Though only children, these servants possessed extraordinary abilities. Furthermore, with the Dragon King standing behind them, who would dare to offend them?
The governors of these counties are not fools. They have seen the Dragon King occupying the north with their own eyes. They dare not bully the boys for fear that the Dragon King will appear and strike everyone with thunder. Not to mention that the King of Qi, who offended the Dragon King, has already turned into ashes.
Fighting with people is fun, but fighting with God, are you kidding me?
In Beiyang, there was one less Prince Qi's Palace and it was replaced by the Dragon King Temple. People could come and worship there. Beiyang had one less Prince Qi and one more Dragon King. People were so happy that they sang about the miracles of the Dragon King all day long. They turned the stories of the Dragon King's coming to the world and the rain into songs and spread them continuously.
Since the divine rain, all people's illnesses have been cured, everything around them is full of vitality, and the crops in the fields are growing well. Who can not like the Dragon King? Who can resist the Dragon King?
In the land of Beiyang, anyone who says anything bad about the Dragon King will be beaten!
When the Dragon King's first decree was issued to each county, announcing that grain taxes were no longer required, the people rejoiced! They could finally store food! They no longer had to worry about starving to death! Long live the Dragon King! Long live the Dragon King!!!
Qin Lang continued to stay in Wangjia Village for three days. During these three days, he did not expect that the five million faith points he had spent would increase again because of the new decree issued by the Dragon King. This made Qin Lang's originally miserable mood become much better.
As long as the people have enough food to eat, they are willing to believe in the Dragon King who gave them life. They kneel down to worship him every morning when they wake up and before they go to bed at night, so their faith value increases very quickly.
Soon it was the day when Qin Lang was leaving Wangjia Village. A large caravan of more than one hundred people was formed, with more than forty guards in it. They were all skilled fighters sent from various counties. Each of them was not only tall and handsome, but also had a top-notch appearance. Because the Lord of Changes liked beautiful flowers and children, the guards sent from several counties were also handsome.
In addition to the guards, there are servants who serve Qin Lang on a daily basis, including those who take care of flowers, mix perfumes, and organize things. Together, there are more than a hundred people in the entire caravan who serve Qin Lang alone.
None of them knew that the young man next to Qin Lang who looked similar to him was the Dragon King Canglang. They were just serving the Hundred-Change Star Lord who had come to the mortal world to experience trials and tribulations.
Even when Qin Lang was traveling this time, the carriage he rode in was a carefully crafted, oversized model that could seat more than a dozen people.
However, no one could share this frame with the immortal who had experienced tribulation. Only Canglang followed Qin Lang stupidly wherever he went.
All the people in Wangjia Village knelt on the ground and waited until Qin Lang got on the carriage before shouting loudly.
"Farewell to the Lord of Change!!!"
"Farewell to the Lord of Change!!!"
"Farewell to the Lord of Change!!!"
Some people were even crying, because Wangjia Village was completely influenced by Baibianxingjun, and their lives were getting better and better. They were very reluctant to part with Baibianxingjun, so they saw him off with tears.
Qin Lang heard the sound outside, but he didn't turn around or speak. He sat in the carriage in silence. People always have to experience separation, and it is always the same at any time.
Dragon King Canglang was sitting in the carriage with Qin Lang. He was eating the plums offered by humans. They were pickled plums, very sour, but he liked the taste.
Qin Lang has become accustomed to not eating, but the people below will still prepare food and bring it to him. Every time he smells it, it ends up in the mouth of Dragon King Canglang. This god, who has lived for two thousand years, is eating human food for the first time. He is very curious and wants to try every single one of them.
Inside Qin Lang's frame, there are several kinds of carefully tended flowers, which emit a faint fragrance. The frame moves smoothly and safely on the road, and will not make the people inside uncomfortable.
In early July, the weather was still very hot. Qin Lang was wearing a frost-colored suit, which made the people around him feel much cooler. The convoy slowly left Beiyang and headed towards Huai'an where King Liang was.
King Liang's Huai'an is in the southernmost part. On the way, one has to pass through Jianan, the fief of King An Gao Miao, and it takes about half a month to reach there.
Qin Lang did not rush there as quickly as possible. He planned to go there slowly and give the dynasty some time to react.
The carriage was moving slowly and stealthily. This caravan of only a hundred people seemed extremely ordinary, but who could have imagined that in this caravan, there was a god and a person who held the god's power?
Three days is long enough, long enough for what happened in Beiyang to spread far and wide, long enough for what happened in the capital to be known to everyone.
Except for the deceased King of Qi, all other princes who were crowned kings in various places knew about the Dragon King.
They knew that Beiyang was suffering from drought, so Canglang, the Dragon King of the West Sea, descended upon the north. Facing the King of Qi who was disrespectful to him, he sent down a thunderbolt, which not only destroyed the King of Qi but also vented his anger on the royal family of Daxia, demanding that they not be allowed to set foot in Beiyang!
Not only that, this extremely arrogant Dragon King Canglang even sent down thunder and fire, burning down the imperial palace of Daxia!!!
When the secret letter from the capital was delivered to the hands of the princes, everyone was stunned.
After all, when they were enfeoffed, each of them began to command their own troops. Their goal was, of course, to one day rise from prince to emperor! They would kill their brothers and become the ruler of Daxia themselves!
But now, a dragon suddenly jumped out from nowhere, and this black dragon announced to the world that Daxia would be destroyed! Isn't this a curse to the Gao family's royal family to die?
After all, Daxia will only perish if all members of the Daxia royal family die!
Regardless of whether this dragon is a god or a real dragon or a fake dragon, it must not exist to slander the Daxia royal family!!!
The fiefs of these princes began to prevent the people from spreading the news about Dragon King Canglang, but that's how things are in the world. It's harder to guard against the people's mouths than to guard against the river. No matter how hard you try, you can't prevent it.
Of course, some people also think that the so-called Dragon King is just a title, just for the purpose of creating momentum, and there is no evidence to support it.
After Emperor Gao Xi woke up, he was afraid of anything blue and purple. Finally, with the help of the eunuch Wei Zhong and the general Shao Rongwei, he issued a decree requiring the princes to march into Beiyang and recapture the land of Beiyang.
This was a secret decree. The description of Dragon King Canglang above did not even dare to call him an evil god. It only asked his sons to attack Beiyang. Whoever occupied the land of Beiyang would own it.
All seven princes received the secret order, but none of them dared to act rashly.
The person closest to Beiyang was Prince An Gao Miao, whose territory was Jianan. He was discussing this matter with his military advisor in his study.
"Father is afraid. He's afraid of the so-called Dragon King and the Northland. I'm afraid this secret order wasn't given to me alone. I'm afraid all of my brothers have it. If they really take action, they will be devoured by the other brothers."
After placing the secret decree on the table, Prince An Gao Miao sighed and asked the military advisor Ouyang Xi with some hesitation.
"Mr. Ouyang, do gods really exist in this world?"
If it exists, why has no one seen it for so many years? If it doesn't exist, then what exactly is the black dragon that appears in Beiyang now?
"As for matters of gods and ghosts, if you believe in them, they exist; if you don't, they don't exist. Your Highness, I've already asked the people of the land near Beiyang, and they've indeed heard a huge dragon roar in the sky. I'm afraid such creatures really exist. It's said that a fire descended from the palace and couldn't be extinguished. I think Your Highness should just take it easy. Someone must be the first to investigate for Your Highness."
Ouyang Xi only thinks that the existence of everything in the world is reasonable, and does not think that the black dragon does not exist.
As for attacking Beiyang, anyone can do it except King An. King An's fiefdom Jianan is too close to Beiyang. Once he takes action, it will be very dangerous as both the lips and the teeth will be in danger.
Prince An Gao Miao didn't say anything, just nodded, but he thought of his princess who could predict his future destiny. After thinking about it, he asked the military advisor to leave, and then went to look for Princess An in the backyard.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a woman in gorgeous dress. The woman was as beautiful as a fairy, with a face as white as jade. When she heard the sound and looked over, she was beautiful and charming with a jade hairpin in her hair.
"I pay my respects to the prince."
When Princess An came to pay her respects to the prince, Gao Miao immediately stepped forward and shook the woman's hand.
"The princess is pregnant now. There is no need to perform formalities. Just take care of yourself."
Gao Miao looked at his princess and his expression softened a little. He thought that everything had been going smoothly since he married this wife. He even had a pair of children now. Now he was going to be a father again. Gao Miao was happy.
I just thought of the Dragon King of Beiyang, which was a bit strange.
"Isn't Your Majesty busy with government affairs? Why did you come to my place?"
Ever since Prince An Gao Miao was enfeoffed in Jianan, the land of Jianan is located on the north and south sides of the entire Daxia. It is actually a good place with water, mountains and land. The people live quite well under Prince An's policies, and he can be regarded as a decent prince.
Princess An gave birth to twins after she got married, and is now pregnant. Thinking about the future battle for supremacy among the eight kings, she must make sure that her husband ascends to the supreme throne of the emperor, so as to live up to her rebirth.
Prince An Gao Miao looked at his wife, whose face was now filled with love and tenderness, and felt that having such a virtuous wife was already much better than having other brothers. Moreover, his wife was born with knowledge, and she must know whether the matter of the Dragon King was true or false, so he spoke.
"My beloved, I came here this time to inquire about the drought in Beiyang that you once mentioned. You predicted that Beiyang would be dry for several months, with no harvest at all. The people of Beiyang would have no food to eat and would have no choice but to flee to more prosperous places. Did the prophecy mention how this drought could be resolved?"
King An had heard his wife's prediction and knew that Beiyang was suffering from a severe drought. In fact, Jianan, which was close to Beiyang, would also see a reduction in production. Therefore, he began to store grain a few years ago, thinking that if Beiyang was in chaos by then, he could take it down directly. However, he did not expect a black dragon to appear out of nowhere.
I don’t know the identity of the black dragon in my wife’s dream.
Princess An was stunned when she was questioned. Drought is a natural disaster. How can it be solved? Moreover, the drought in Beiyang has affected the surrounding areas. It is a natural disaster that only happens once in a hundred years. How can it be solved by human power?
In my memory, Beiyang had become almost a living hell. Not only were people fleeing famine, but the people were so starving that they resorted to cannibalism. Some even continued their habit of cannibalism after fleeing to nearby areas...
"Drought is a natural disaster. How can human intervention solve it? The drought in my dream was severe and incurable."
Princess An gave this answer, but she didn't expect to hear her husband ask the next moment.
"What if it's a god? Did the name of Dragon King Canglang appear in my dream?"
