Chapter 511 The power of the whole country
Dayu City, deep in the palace. Ji Beiming frowned and thought. He and Ji Xue had planted three dream fruits, which allowed them to communicate. But it was like a one-way mirror. Ji Beiming could see Ji Xue, but she couldn't 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 man in white was so arrogant that he must have touched those guys' sore spot. No wonder they would help without sparing any effort.
The mermaids have the intention to cooperate with the Four Gods, Twelve Mountain Gods and others, and have already cooperated. Without their help along the way, the mermaids will encounter 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 matter of Dayu to the river mother, the Reform Center, and the monks in the world.
Whether we can get out of Dayu is still unknown.
The second report pulled Ji Beiming back to the bottom of the valley. After verification by Ji Xue, Ji Nan, Ji Huo and Ji Lu were all killed. Most likely, they were killed by the man in white. This man was quite powerful and must have a feud with the mermaids, otherwise he would not have pursued them so relentlessly.
Ji Beiming was not sad, but angry. He claimed to be a peerless genius, but more than half of the members of the team he led died at the hands of one man. For him, how could this not be humiliating?
Even though the item was retrieved for the mermaids, the matter still had flaws and was not perfect. In addition to being angry, he also felt a bit of resentment towards the girl Xiaozhen.
If Xiaozhen had not been greedy for money and unwilling to give up the money of 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 wearing an imperial skirt and had long hair tied up, was walking towards him. From the outside, she looked exactly like Wang Ruyi. At first glance, they were almost identical. But if you look closely, you can see a few differences. Xiaozhen had less flesh on her cheeks, and her lips were thin and slightly protruding. Her face was not bad, and even if there were some flaws, she could still be considered a "beauty". However, she was afraid of comparison. If she was compared with Wang Ruyi, she was obviously inferior.
The merman tribe is good at "stealing". They once stole "thoughts" through dreams. Later, they were also stolen "thoughts" through dreams by the God of Dreams. Although they are not the same things, there is a back and forth. The law of nature is cyclical and retribution will come.
Xiaozhen's appearance is 30% similar to that of the thief Wang Ruyi, so their appearances gradually become similar. Ji Beiming deceived Xiaozhen, saying that this was the appearance of an emperor. Xiaozhen believed it and was proud of it.
What the mermaids stole was far more than just "appearance", they also stole fate, fortune, and so on. However, their spiritual energy was exhausted, and all things withered, and the way they "stole" became increasingly clumsy.
Seeing Xiaozhen coming, Ji Beiming suppressed his emotions and wondered whether the God of Mengdao had anticipated today's scene and deliberately did this to disgust the person who coveted his tomb.
Ji Beiming forced a smile, "Xiao Zhen, have you finished your court affairs?"
"I'm done. By the way, where is Sister Ji Xue?" Xiao Zhen asked.
"She had something important to do, so she left first." Ji Beiming said lightly.
"Then, Brother Bei Ming, will you leave one day?" Xiao Zhen was hesitant. She knew everything about herself and where it came from.
Ji Beiming is her confidence and also the one she likes.
"No." Ji Beiming stroked Xiao Zhen's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't leave you."
"Then... I will make my fourth wish, asking you to stay with me forever, okay?" Xiao Zhen looked at Ji Beiming, waiting for the usual nod of agreement.
But Ji Beiming's expression showed some changes.
After a long while, he gently asked back: "Why can't it be the third wish?"
Xiao Zhen shook Ji Beiming's right hand and said, "Hey, what's the difference between the third and the fourth one?"
"No difference."
Ji Beiming laughed and stroked Xiaozhen's head. However, deep in his eyes, there was a hint of disgust.
Xiao Zhen didn't notice it, she smiled, but she was silently responding 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 frightened 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 to decide life and death with a single word.
She was immersed in imperial power.
Her originally infinitely inferior heart became infinitely proud, and therefore, she also subconsciously developed a dislike for Ji Beiming. She liked Ji Beiming for what he really was, and she disliked him for what he really was.
Because this man is someone she wants to please even if she becomes emperor, but she is also afraid that he will leave.
"By the way. Xiaozhen, put up a wanted poster for this person." Ji Beiming took out a scroll.
Xiaozhen took the scroll and saw the person in the painting, dressed in white, with a blazing fire behind him. His face was not clearly visible, but his 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 flames was the Mengze City where she was born and raised?
Every blade of grass, every piece of soil, every stone there, is engraved in my heart, and cannot be erased in the slightest. Xiao Zhen's breathing became rapid, and her eyes quickly became bloodshot. She looked up at Ji Beiming, waiting for an answer.
"Yes, it's Mengze City." Ji Beiming nodded.
Xiao Zhen was furious and threw the scroll out, shouting, "Find him! Use the whole country's strength to find him!"
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 something was not right with the natural and man-made disasters in Dayu, so he specifically chased the "disaster" and inquired about the situation along the way.
