Chapter 834: Chapter 36: Borrowing Your Heads for a Moment—Mr. Zhao Strikes with Full Force! (Da Zhang)
The Deputy Manager immediately ordered him to guard Lishui Road.
He also received a mass dispatch order from ’Ye Zijian’, the Great Agricultural Order of the Minister of Agriculture Supervision of Tianhe Prefecture, as well as an order from Prefecture Lord He Zhengchen.
There were even orders from the three stationed troops of the Prefecture City.
Because the Transportation Department is a dual military and political agency!
This means these are all orders from higher departments!
Only the ’Inspector’ identity, directly governed by Liu Tianning, the Inspection Platform, Office, and Dao of Tianhe Prefecture, didn’t issue any orders.
"Each dispatch order makes sense, but at this time, they’re all over the place, and I don’t know who’s behind it, a person or a ghost."
"However, the Earth Mirror can still be used somewhat." Zhao Xing thought to himself, "I should first ask about the situation with Long Xiao and the Princess Mansion."
...
"What, Bai Zhengyang is still dead?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.
"I warned Uncle Seven." Long Xiao sighed, "But he didn’t believe the Hong family would rebel, would come to kill him, and even laughed at me for being timid."
"Don’t blame yourself." Zhao Xing calmly said, "Everyone has their fate, if he didn’t believe it, then this was his fate."
"He was a general, and you were just a Fenglong Guard Commander, you couldn’t order him."
"In the face of great turmoil, all we can do is protect the people around us."
Mr. Zhao felt nothing about Bai Zhengyang’s death.
Warned but didn’t believe, who’s to blame if he died?
Should Long Xiao have knelt and begged him not to go?
Ever since Zhao Xing carried the fate for Old Chen in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven wave, he knew the cost of altering fate was too great.
For someone like Bai Zhengyang, one can only respect their destiny.
"What about your father-in-law?" Zhao Xing asked, "Is Bai Mingchuan alright?"
"He’s fine." Long Xiao said, "But Hong Yuanba and Hong Yuanshou, these two brothers have already answered Prince Liang’s call, driving a million-strong Water Clan army, heading towards Chongming Prefecture."
"Has the Bai family’s army been mobilized?" Zhao Xing asked.
"There is turmoil within the Azure Dragon Army, Ling’er’s grandfather is purging internal rebellion, only a 200,000-strong army has been sent to keep an eye on the Hong brothers’ army."
"At the fastest, it will take two days to complete the troop mobilization and pursue them."
Zhao Xing nodded, this was the difference in timing.
The Hong family, not strongly affiliated with the court, was well-prepared for this.
In response to Prince Liang’s order, they became powerful.
With enough preparation and such advantages, it’s natural to move quickly.
In contrast, the Bai family moved much slower.
"What about the Ao and Tang families, the Water Clan Chiefs?" Zhao Xing asked.
"I don’t know." Long Xiao scratched his head, "You know, my political instincts aren’t sharp, I don’t know what those two families are thinking."
"Just tell me if they have taken any military action, and who it’s directed at." Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes, Tang Yinglong and Ao Tian, these two Sealing Kings, immediately dispatched troops to pursue the Hong brothers’ army, but the number was small, totaling 150,000."
"Nothing can be done." Zhao Xing said, "Hong Yuanba is the East Sea Commander, naturally more convenient for him to deploy troops during his tenure."
"How are you and Old Chen now, and what should I do?" Long Xiao asked.
"Old Chen is fine, he’s staying at the Princess Mansion." Zhao Xing said, "I’m in Tianhe Prefecture, right now it’s not obviously chaotic, but I fear it will soon turn chaotic."
"Just follow the original plan, first pursue the Hong brothers’ army, conduct suppression, while also guarding your Bai family’s coastal defense area."
"But you must not land ashore, just pursue to the coastline, I believe the Hong brothers won’t land quickly either."
"Alright." Long Xiao clenched his fists, "I heard the Princely Heir of Prince Liang is also in the East Sea Army, I must kill him this time!"
"Don’t act rashly." Zhao Xing advised, "There will be plenty of chances for revenge."
Zhao Xing estimated that the Earth Mirror’s effectiveness would eventually decline, so he added a few more words: "Remember this, even if your Bai family does nothing, as long as you don’t let your subordinates’ army rebel, and guard against those alien race naval forces, although there’s no merit, you won’t be punished either."
"As for the Hong brothers, although the four major Water Clan Chiefs have monitoring duties, this is just a minor offense."
"Before the court orders you for suppression, sending out this little force now is enough, remember, remember, don’t go ashore without the emperor’s command."
"Alright, I’ve remembered." Long Xiao repeated, "Without imperial orders, never pursue ashore."
"Take good care of yourself."
"You too."
After finishing the communication with Long Xiao, Zhao Xing heard several voices appearing above the Prefecture City.
"Harmony is precious in the use of rites!"
"Heavenly destiny by force, to stop the war through war, killing is acceptable!"
"Yu Tianhai, Wang Chengsi, are you rebelling?"
"In accordance with the king’s order, following the Heavenly Dao, how is this rebellion? He Zhengchen, you were appointed by Prime Minister Liu Si, this is a national traitor! Don’t quickly resign and return your office to the court?"
"You are rebels, rebels!!"
"..."
The voices from above were like thunder, Zhao Xing’s mind was affected by these voices, one moment wanting to slaughter everywhere, the next wishing to stay calmly at home and not make a move.
"The Ritual Repairer is already fighting, He Zhengchen is the Prefecture Lord, the other two are Prefecture Governors, this is an open break."
Zhao Xing’s Seven-star Life Soul gently trembled, repelling the spell of the Ritual Repairer.
In the next moment, another change appeared.
"In a place with an owner, do not enter without permission!"
"In my name, with a pure heart of loyalty, request the Earth Emperor’s Book!"
"People of Tianhe, return home quickly!"
Buzz~
Suddenly, a golden shining yellow book appeared in the sky, floating above the Prefecture City.
At the same time, all the workshops, residential houses, all lit up with a light.
People started heading home one after another.
"Wang Zijun, are you not afraid to die? Stop it now!"
"Earth Official Wang Situ, you’re ruthless, willing to die just to protect these ignorant people?"
