Mortal Immortal Gourd

Outside a small village in the Great Zhou Dynasty, early in the morning, a group of villagers were talking and chattering.

"Before I went to bed last night, I saw that the mountain was still fine, but I disappeared this morning."

"A mountain that was so big disappeared out of thin air, and there was no movement at all."

"Look, the broken place at the bottom of the mountain is like a knife cut."

"It must be another official who showed his power and cut the mountain down with one sword and took it away."

All these villagers could imagine were those officials with great powers.

After all, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only officials were qualified to practice advanced immortal techniques and have such great supernatural powers.

Indeed, this mountain was taken away by an official, and it was also a master of Qingtian.

Who else can be there besides Zhang Ergou?

In the gourd, Ergouzi recently brought several mountains into it from outside.

As long as he sees the barren mountain that is more suitable for cultivation, he will take advantage of the late night and quietly steal the mountain.

Sure enough, people will become addicted to stealing things from childhood, and the more they steal, the bigger they get.

When I was a child, I just stole some pig food. When I grew up, I stole someone in the spider silk hole and a city in the Dragon Blood Palace.

Until now, he is already stealing the mountain.

Therefore, the overall area of ​​the planted continent has increased several times in a short period of time.

The land area has doubled, and the recent planting tasks are a bit heavy. Yushan commands a large group of puppets every day, so busy that they are not touching the ground.

The more land he is responsible for cultivating, the more he will get and pay off his debts faster.

Yushan has been planted in the gourd for decades and has already developed a whole range of farming skills.

However, he always had a belief in his heart that after paying off his debts, he would return to the Feiyu tribe and defeat the patriarch and his son.

Prove to everyone that Yushan is the strongest and he is the real man.

Although he lost his most precious wings and could not display all the magical powers of the Feiyu Tribe, he now has a large number of puppets and wings made of magic weapons.

Some time ago, the boss also gave him a good quality pill to collect from Jindan.

Perhaps it was because he lost his wings and wasted a golden elixir and failed to successfully break through to the golden elixir stage.

Fortunately, the boss was generous and generous, and owed two more pills to Yushan for credit, and finally successfully broke through to the Golden Pill stage.

But in this way, the huge debt of the three golden elixirs was like a mountain, always pressing on the top of Yushan.

However, he was no longer the cowardly and cowardly Yushan.

The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation he will be. With huge debts on his back, he is full of energy and has endless strength.

Especially now, the world in the gourd has increased so much, and he has a bigger stage to play.

In recent months, Ergouzi has captured dozens of barbarians and taken them into the gourd to work, all of which have been handed over to Yushan for management.

This made Yushan feel that the responsibility is heavy and dared not relax at all.

"Yushan, how are you doing recently?"

"Boss! Everything is fine!"

When Yushan saw Ergouzi, he came forward happily.

"Very good, thanks to your hard work, we have today's prosperity."

Ergouzi pointed to the endless mountain, looked at the lush spiritual medicine and spiritual wood on the mountain, and said with sigh.

"I would also like to thank my boss for his respect for me, my kindness and kindness for me, and my kindness will never be forgotten."

"Yes, I'm not mistaken for you. You are a person who knows how to be grateful."

Ergouzi patted Yushan's thin shoulders and said with satisfaction.

"I saw people from your Feiyu Tribe some time ago."

"Ah? Where?"

Yu Shan was shocked and felt a little irrepressible.

"On the battlefield, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom organized many tribes to attack my territory, including your Feiyu Tribe."

When Ergouzi returned to Qingzhou last time, he happened to see an army of demons siege, including the Feiyu Tribe.

"Oh, I'm confused! How dare they come to attack Qingzhou! They didn't cause any disaster, did they?"

Yu Shan was a little worried that if his tribe caused a big disaster and his boss would be exterminated.

"That's not. The Feiyu Tribe is just cannon fodder. I let the Feiyu Tribe go for your sake."

Ergouzi shook his head. With the little power of Feiyu Tribe, the clan leader was only in the foundation-building stage. Now he was placed in front of Ergouzi's Qingzhou Army, which was really not enough to see.

"Thank you, my boss!"

"Yushan will spend his life to repay the great kindness of the boss."

Yushan thanked Ergouzi with excitement.

He knew very well that with the current strength of the Dong family, he could destroy the entire tribe of the Feiyu Tribe with just one move.

"It's okay, keep working hard. If you meet Feiyu Tribe next time, let you meet them."

"Today I brought a few more barbarians who do rough work, so I'll leave it to you."

Ergouzi said, reaching out to grab the chaos of the void, and more than a dozen barbarians fell in front of the two of them.

"Baoba..."

Before the barbarians could react, they were whipped by Yushan.

After Ergouzi left the man, he cut off a few more iron trees and went back to continue making puppets.

These iron woods have grown for seven or eight hundred years, and are extremely tough in texture, and are difficult to cut off even magic tools. There are golden threads inside the cut cuts, densely packed.

He had used this iron wood to refine several puppets.

After trying it, I found that it would take more than a dozen hits to blast the finished puppet with magic weapons.

Moreover, since this kind of puppet is made of wood, it is much lighter.

Controlling the puppet to do the same few actions will consume much less spiritual stones.

It is easy to use and saves money. The materials are grown in the gourd, which is most in line with Ergouzi's mind.

Such a puppet can definitely become the most solid force on the battlefield.

Ironwood that is seven or eight hundred years old can be used to refine puppets, as well as magic tools, armor, shields, bows, crossbows and arrows...

Many weapons can be replaced by this kind of ironwood.

With ironwood, a material produced in the gourd, it provides a basis for large-scale refining of weapons.

In the past, he used a variety of materials to refine puppets or weapons.

In addition to the spiritual ore produced in Qingzhou, the others were bought here, there, or picked up in other places, and slowly saved up.

There are hundreds of trees of this kind in the gourd that are seven or eight hundred years old, and there are thousands of trees that are four or five hundred years old.

Recently, he has bought a whole mountain, and the mountain is full of this iron wood.

When all these spiritual trees grow up, he will have a steady supply of materials in the future to refine puppets or other magic tools.

In addition to these spiritual trees, the spiritual medicines that were planted in the gourd before are now mature in large quantities.

Er Gouzi has his own alchemy skills, and now he has a very high success rate in refining pills for the golden elixir stage.

He took time to refine a large number of pills in his spare time to reward his men in order to quickly cultivate a group of pillars.

Now he is dealing with the monsters in Qingzhou and the barbarians in the north at the same time, and secretly accumulating strength.

As the power of his men increases, he feels more and more relaxed in dealing with it...

…………

Zhongzhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty is now rich and populated because of Sima Yi's reforms. The wasteland that was abandoned before is now reclaimed and cultivated again.

Now, the people of Zhongzhou all sing praises to Sima Qingtian's kindness.

Although Qingzhou was rich in the past, everyone in Qingzhou was Ergouzi's tenant.

The local land rent and various spiritual medicines and minerals produced all fell into Ergouzi's pocket.

But the various materials produced in Zhongzhou, in addition to the needs of local people's lives, also have a large amount of income every year, which is handed over to the court.

As a result, the treasury finally had some inventory, and the Holy Emperor Longxing was much more generous in doing things.

For example, this year a large number of materials were obtained to aid the East China Sea battlefield, which finally gave the Zhenguo Army there a sigh of relief.

But according to the letter sent back by the Zhenguo Army in the East China Sea battlefield, only one-tenth of the large amount of materials allocated by the court actually reached the hands of the Qingzhou Army.

What's more, among these one-tenth of materials, a large part of them are stale and broken.

Those materials were in the warehouse at a glance. They were stored for too long without being used, and the spiritual energy was lost, becoming waste.

What's worse, they even found a deadly poison in a batch of military rations.

It's not known whether someone deliberately poisoned or did it accidentally.

When the Longxing Sheng Emperor learned about this, he was furious.

Now that the country is in crisis, a batch of materials that were squeezed out from the teeth to aid the border guards, there are still people who want to embezzle from it.

They completely disregard the life and death of the border guards and the safety of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, the Longxing Sheng Emperor appointed Sima Yi to investigate the matter strictly.

In fact, Sima Yi has been investigating the corruption in the capital recently.

Because so many materials that they handed over to the court in Zhongzhou had just been sent to the treasury, and most of them disappeared mysteriously.

The current court treasury is like a leaking water tank. No matter how much water you pour into it, it will eventually leak out.

In this way, these two things can be investigated together.

As the saying goes, people leave traces, and things leave images. So many materials disappearing out of thin air will always leave a lot of clues. As long as you are willing to investigate, it is not that difficult.

Sima Yi traced the materials in the East China Sea for three months and soon found more than 100 people involved.

Among these more than 100 people, every link in the transportation of materials was included. These people took advantage of the materials and everyone got benefits.

But after all the benefits these people got were taken back, they only accounted for about two-tenths of the materials. Another 70% of the materials disappeared without a trace.

Sima Yi interrogated these people for a long time, but no one was willing to confess the whereabouts of the other batch of materials.

For such people who are unwilling to speak, the government naturally has many ways.

As long as the torture is done in place, let alone the layers of wealth behind the scenes, even if he admits that he is a devil, it will be no problem.

At this time, Sima Yi took the results of the final interrogation, went to the palace to meet Emperor Longxing Sheng, and handed over a bunch of confessions.

The Holy Emperor Longxing read more than a dozen confessions in a row, his fingers and the beard on his chin were trembling slightly, obviously because of extreme anger.

"This rebellious son!"

"Short-sighted!"

"Asshole!"

The Holy Emperor Longxing cursed while quickly browsing through the remaining confessions.

All the confessions pointed to one person, a man named Tian Zhixuan.

And this man named Tian Zhixuan was the master of his fourth prince.

Because the fourth prince was also a popular candidate to inherit the throne, he made friends with many ministers in the court.

He had contacts with many officials, and it was Tian Zhixuan who represented the Fourth Prince in external activities.

Tian Zhixuan's words and deeds almost represented the will of the Fourth Prince.

The Holy Emperor Longxing was naturally very clear about this relationship.

So the one who embezzled the materials of the East Sea National Defense Army was most likely the Fourth Prince.

Other ministers in the court, if they embezzled for a little wealth, were more or less justified, out of personal greed.

But he was a prince!

He was digging into his own family.

The entire Great Zhou Dynasty belonged to their Ji family, and the National Defense Army was the army that protected the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The dignified Fourth Prince actually did something that harmed the Great Zhou Dynasty for a little personal gain.

"Is it possible that this is a misunderstanding?"

The Holy Emperor Longxing found it hard to believe that his son could be so stupid. After all, he was his own son, so he was a little lucky.

"I have checked. The materials that Tian Zhixuan embezzled were later sent to the Fourth Prince's mansion."

"I have a few more confessions here, provided by the servants who were responsible for transporting materials."

Sima Yi said, and took out a few more confessions and handed them to the Longxing Holy Emperor for review.

The Longxing Holy Emperor took these confessions, read them again, and completely gave up.

It was indeed the Fourth Prince who did it.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with it?"

Sima Yi was indeed a little embarrassed about this matter. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, embezzling so much military food and materials can already be confiscated and exterminated.
