Chapter 511: The Whole Nation's Strength
Dayu City, deep in the palace. Ji Beiming frowned and pondered. He and Ji Xue had planted three dream fruits on their bodies, and the two could communicate with each other. However, it was in the right direction, like a one-way mirror. Ji Beiming could see Ji Xue, but the latter could not see him.
Ji Xue had two reports today. It was half good news. Regarding the robbery and killing of Bai Yi, unexpected progress was made, and the help of the Four Gods and the Twelve Mountain Gods was obtained.
After listening to Ji Xue's explanation, Ji Beiming almost laughed out loud. The Bai Yi was so arrogant that he touched the reverse scale of those guys. No wonder they would spare no effort to help.
The mermaids and the Four Gods, the Twelve Mountain Gods and others had the intention to cooperate, and they had already cooperated. If there was no help from them along the way, the mermaids would have more twists and turns.
Although cooperation is cooperation, they are not of the same clan after all. Ji Beiming did not expect to get his full support. He never thought that the man in white wanted to tell the story of Dayu to the mother of the river, the reform center, and the monks in the world.
Whether he can get out of Dayu is still unknown.
The second report pulled Ji Beiming back to the bottom of the valley. After Ji Xue's verification, Ji Nan, Ji Huo, and Ji Lu were all killed. It was probably killed by the man in white. This man was not weak and should have a feud with the mermaids, otherwise he would not have pursued him so relentlessly.
Ji Beiming was not sad, but angry. He claimed to be a genius, but more than half of the team members he led died at the hands of one person. For him, how could it not be humiliating?
Even if he retrieved the item for the mermaids, this matter had flaws and was not perfect. In addition to being angry, he also had some resentment towards the girl Xiaozhen.
If Xiaozhen had not been greedy and unwilling to give up the money in Qingrao City, Ji Beiming would not have sent Ji Nan and the other two to guard Qingrao City, and such a tragedy would not have happened.
Just as he was thinking, the girl Xiaozhen, who was wrapped in an imperial skirt and had long hair tied up, was walking slowly towards him. From the outside, her appearance was exactly the same as Wang Ruyi's. At first glance, they were almost exactly the same. If you look closely, you can see one or two differences. Xiaozhen has less flesh on her cheeks and her lips are thin and slightly protruding. Her face is not bad. Even if there are some flaws, she can be regarded as a "beauty". It's just that she is afraid of comparison. If compared with Wang Ruyi, she is obviously guilty.
The mermaids are good at "stealing". They once stole "thoughts" with dreams, and then they were stolen by the God of Dreams with dreams. Although they are not the same, they come and go. The cycle of heaven is inevitable.
Xiaozhen's appearance is somewhat similar to that of the thief Wang Ruyi, so the two of them gradually look similar. Ji Beiming deceived Xiaozhen, saying that this is the appearance of an emperor, and Xiaozhen believed it and was proud of it.
The things that the mermaids steal are far more than just "appearance", but also fate, fortune, etc., but the spiritual energy is exhausted, and all things are withered, and the "stealing" is gradually becoming clumsy.
Seeing Xiaozhen coming, Ji Beiming restrained his emotions and wondered if the Dream God had expected today's scene and deliberately made this scene to disgust the person who coveted his tomb.
Ji Beiming forced a smile, "Xiaozhen, are you done with the court affairs?"
"I'm done, by the way, where is Sister Ji Xue?" Xiaozhen asked.
"She has something important to do and left first." Ji Beiming said lightly.
"Then, Brother Beiming, will you leave one day?" Xiaozhen hesitated. She knew everything about herself and where it came from.
Ji Beiming is her confidence and what she likes.
"No." Ji Beiming stroked Xiaozhen's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't leave you."
"Then... I will make a fourth wish, asking you to stay with me forever, okay?" Xiaozhen looked at Ji Beiming, waiting for the usual nod of agreement.
But Ji Beiming's expression changed a little.
After a long while, he gently asked, "Why can't it be the third wish?"
Xiaozhen shook Ji Beiming's right hand and said, "Oh, what's the difference between the third and the fourth."
"No difference."
Ji Beiming laughed and stroked Xiaozhen's head. However, there was a trace of disgust in the depths of his eyes.
Xiaozhen didn't realize it, smiling, but silently responded in her heart, why is it the fourth wish instead of the third? Of course... the third wish is more important!
Her eyes fell on the panic-stricken maid.
This throne, this imperial power... has made her obsessed. Ji Beiming is powerful, but... that power belongs only to him. And this throne, this imperial power, she truly felt, the supreme power of life and death with a single word.
She was immersed in the imperial power.
Her infinitely inferior heart became infinitely proud, so she subconsciously disliked Ji Beiming. She really liked Ji Beiming, and she really disliked him.
Because this man was someone she had to please even if she became an emperor, but she was afraid that he would leave.
"By the way. Xiaozhen, put a wanted order on this person." Ji Beiming took out a scroll.
Xiaozhen took the scroll. Seeing the person in the painting, he was dressed in white, with a blazing fire behind him. His face could not be seen clearly, but the makeup had a certain charm.
"This is..." Xiao Zhen unconsciously exerted force with both hands, "Mengze City?!"
How could she not recognize that the town in the blazing fire was the Mengze City where she was born and raised.
Every blade of grass, every piece of soil and every stone there were engraved in her heart, and could not be erased at all. Xiao Zhen's breathing was rapid, and her eyes quickly became bloodshot. She looked up at Ji Beiming, waiting for an answer.
"Yes, it is Mengze City." Ji Beiming nodded.
Xiao Zhen was furious, threw the scroll out, and shouted outside: "Find! Give me the power of the whole country, and you must find this person!"
The servant hurriedly picked up the scroll and immediately conveyed the order.
...
Let's talk about the other side.
After the locust plague, Li Changxiao realized that the natural and man-made disasters in Dayu were not right, so he specifically chased the "disaster" and inquired about the disaster along the way.
