Douluo: Peerless Light

The young general was shocked when he saw the pendant.

The pain in his body seemed to disappear immediately, and he fell to the ground on one knee with a bang.

"I will finally pay my respects to the prince!"

Qian Chaoguang's frown deepened.

He couldn't understand why a low-level young general in his early thirties could recognize at a glance a gadget that was given to him by the late emperor at least twenty years ago.

This pendant is a symbol of royal status and can only be obtained by the prince when he is canonized.

There are only a few princes in the entire Dou Ling Empire.

Xu Sanshi's mother gave her a special reward because of the old emperor's love, and she had received it at least twenty years ago before she met the head of the Xuanming Sect.

Moreover, his mother had claimed to be missing at the time, and the old emperor did not notify the whole country when he gave her the pendant. It was impossible for non-high-ranking officials to know.

The young general knew the pendant, and he could barely explain that it was something that had been around for a long time. Everyone had to remember the appearance of this thing on the first day of promotion.

But what the hell is going on if he doesn’t know the prince himself?

Besides, even if he really doesn’t recognize faces.

The few existing princes in the Douling Empire are all over fifty years old. How can they not match up with Xu Sanshi, who is in his twenties?

Moreover, those princes had all been taken away in the previous explosion in the palace.

If it were a normal person, shouldn't he suspect that someone is pretending to be the prince?

Just when Qian Chaoguang frowned, Xu Sanshi had already taken back the necklace and put it around his neck again.

"Get up, follow the emergency, follow me into the city immediately, gather the city defense troops, and maintain order in the city. No matter what, there can be no more chaos in Lingdou City, and no more deaths."

"yes!"

The young general stood up quickly, his originally blank and sad eyes suddenly became more respectful, and immediately called the remaining city defense troops to come down to the city.

All two thousand people rushed down with a crash, and followed a few people, heading straight into the city.

Now, Lingdou City needs stability too much.

Looking at the young general who suddenly became loyal and how he began to work hard to mobilize troops and maintain law and order in the city, Qian Chaoguang suddenly remembered a very classic saying.

Master is really a master at pretending to be confused.

Compared with Xia Xuanchen, who had taken the initiative to die before, he was completely different.

Such a country should be destroyed quickly.

Five hours later.

Royal palace ruins

No, there were already people standing next to the big pit at the original site of the palace and the ruins of the collapsed building.

They either whispered in low voices or communicated with their eyes.

Most of them were wearing gorgeous armor and straight luxurious official uniforms.

It is worth mentioning that most of them have soul power in them.

Especially the generals.

Among these ministers, who were different in height, weight, and thickness, some of them had torn robes and were not neatly dressed, so they did not look very decent.

That's because they were captured directly from home by Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi.

These guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death have no soul power and no high official salary, but no one can stand up when the country is in crisis.

It wasn't until Xu Sanshi confessed his identity that he personally told them that the two major beast king soul mentor groups had been driven away by his friends, that they dared to leave the house.

Then, they started to discuss "national affairs" here in a pretentious manner.

No one remembered that they should first maintain the stability of the city and how to deal with the aftermath.

Compared with this, they are more entangled in who should be the emperor now.

Qian Chaoguang had to admit.

It is definitely a miracle in the history of feudal empires that an empire can be so bad that it has not yet disintegrated.

After scanning with his spiritual consciousness, as Qian Chaoguang expected, the entire royal family of the Dou Ling Empire, which was holding a royal gathering, was wiped out.

Oh, except for Xue Leng and Xue Kui, the two young men who didn't come.

The reason why the Sun and Moon Empire was able to obtain such extremely accurate information was probably related to these two traitors seeking glory.

Under Xu Sanshi's central control and the strength of Qian Chaoguang and others, this national institution that was on the verge of fragmentation and holding each other back finally managed to get up and running.

Even under such a "primitive" social form, it took them ten hours to barely suppress the chaos in the city.

It is conceivable that what is left in the Dou Ling Empire is a bunch of losers.

According to Qian Chaoguang's words, among these so-called "loyal ministers and good generals", nine out of ten people were randomly picked and beheaded on the spot, and absolutely none of them was wronged.

"Your Highness, we need your leadership."

A veteran who was over sixty years old took a few steps forward, knelt on one knee and said respectfully to Xu Sanshi.

Looking at him, Xu Sanshi's face was a little uncertain with bloodshot eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not far away, another old man of about the same age, wearing ministerial attire, said in a deep voice:

"No! Absolutely not! This person's identity has yet to be considered, how can he be so rash? This is a major national event, a major event that can determine the lives of tens of millions of people, how can it be such a trivial matter?"

He is the head of the Douling Empire's officials and the current prime minister.

At this time, he was very hesitant. If the empire was leaderless, this would indeed be a big problem.

At this time, if it cannot be properly resolved, the Dou Ling Empire may fall apart in an instant.

However, is it so simple to establish the master of a country?

Although Xu Sanshi took out the royal token, he was not any known prince, and the Prime Minister was skeptical of his identity.

The veteran said angrily: "Fuck you! I've tolerated you for a long time. If you hadn't been so persistent, we would have organized ourselves to hunt down those bastards!"

Qian Chaoguang couldn't help but said: "You are so awesome, how come you didn't see you leading troops to resist heroically when the Emperor Dragon Soul Instructor Group and the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group came?"

The veteran was immediately stunned, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and he stepped aside without saying a word.

Prime Minister Dou Ling nodded slightly and continued: "What this young friend Chaoguang said is absolutely true. Incompetent and reckless people like you will only make hindsight. Our most important task now is to establish a new era."

"Shut up, you old coward, how can you be better than him? I said he didn't say anything about you, right?"

Qian Chaoguang glared out, and a terrifying aura and coercion suddenly enveloped the civil and military officials.

"As the Prime Minister of a country, what did you do when we were busy suppressing the chaos in the city?"

"Of course I am assisting the prince in mobilizing personnel and carrying out suppression and rescue operations." The Prime Minister answered fluently.

"Oh?" Qian Chaoguang showed a sneer, "Then let me ask you, how many guards are there in the city? How many soul masters? How many soul mentors? What are their cultivation levels? How many soul guides are there to defend the city? What types of survivors are there, how many are completely destroyed, and how many can be repaired?”

"This" the Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, "I am not a military commander, and I pay little attention to military aspects."

As soon as these words came out, even Xu Sanshi's face turned cold.

You are the prime minister of the empire, the head of the hundred officials, but you pay little attention to the military?

"Okay, okay, you don't pay much attention to it." Qian Chaoguang laughed angrily at him, "Then let me ask you again, how much food was rescued from the ruins of the grain depot, and how many days will it be enough for the people of the city to eat?"

"How many buildings in the city have been damaged? What are they? How many victims are there now in the city, and how many people's houses have been damaged? How long is it expected to take to repair and resume normal operations after the collapse of the main buildings in the city?"

"Finally, how many people will be killed or injured in this beheading operation against your Dou Ling Empire? How many medical resources and building resources need to be allocated to supplement it? I don't ask you to give specific values. You can just give me a rough estimate."

"I don't know!" the Prime Minister said righteously with an angry look on his face. "I am the Prime Minister of a country. I am the person who assists Your Majesty in overall overview. How can I know these details?"

"Little friend Chaoguang, although I respect you because of your status and cultivation, I ask you not to speak arrogantly. In terms of cultivation, I am not as good as you. But when it comes to running the country, you are just a layman."

After hearing this, Xu Sanshi's face became even more ugly, and his fists clenched loudly.

I am an "outsider" who has been working here for more than ten hours. Even I know the answers to those questions just now, but as the Prime Minister of the Empire, you can't answer them?

No wonder the defense of the Dou Ling Empire is like a sieve, allowing people to penetrate it at will.

How can the country get better when such a moth is in a high position?

Huo Yutong's face was even more filled with contempt and disgust.

Her responsibilities in the Immortal Empire are similar to that of Prime Minister or Prime Minister, helping Qian Chaoguang to make auxiliary judgments and overview the overall situation.

Huo Yutong can responsibly say that she knows exactly how many members, how many resources, how much combat power, productivity, and even the revenue of a certain branch in the Immortal Empire.

As the prime minister of a country, you don't know everything about everything, so you still have the nerve to say that you have an overview of the whole situation?

Even Xuan Lao, who has become a monk halfway, knows that he should know every detail, no matter how bad it is, he still needs to know the general outline.

You, the prime minister of the Dou Ling Empire, are you?

If nothing is clear, how can the country's internal affairs be improved?

How can you possibly have an overview?

"I'm a layman, hahahahahahaha." Qian Chaoguang suddenly laughed loudly, "Very good, you are really good, Dou Ling Empire is very powerful, hahahahaha."

He is the majestic president of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce and the king of the Immortal Empire, but one day he will be pointed at by an old official and said that he is an amateur.

Yes, that's right.

Qian Chaoguang admitted that he was an outsider.

I don't know how to be a qualified emperor.

He doesn't understand the ways of being an official, he doesn't understand the emperor's mentality, and he doesn't understand mutual checks and balances.

But he knows how to make those who follow him live a better life!

He knows how to make his huge interest group prosper!

The old prime minister's wrinkled face showed a smile: "It is undeniable, little friend Chaoguang, you still have a long way to go in this regard, you..."

"Shut up!"

Xu Sanshi's aura exploded like a volcano, and Contra-level pressure swept across the entire place.

In a flash, he had already picked up the old Prime Minister by his neck and lifted his feet off the ground.

The tall and powerful Xu Sanshi was carrying the fat old man as if he were carrying a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

"Old man, why hasn't my imperial brother killed you for so many years and allowed you to sit peacefully in the position of prime minister? Now, do you think we are young and easy to deceive?"

Xu Sanshi lifted him high, extreme anger written all over his face.

"My lord, my lord, cough, old minister"

The Prime Minister, whose neck was stuck, held Xu Sanshi's hand tightly, kicked his legs randomly in the air, and kept struggling.

"Hmph! They are all a bunch of trash who are greedy for life and afraid of death! Can any of you answer the questions Chao Guang just asked?"

Xu Sanshi threw the Prime Minister heavily to the ground like trash, and stepped on his back with his feet.

He looked around with blood-red eyes, and all the civil and military officials he passed were frightened. Most of them lowered their heads deeply, not daring to look at them.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, he also showed a sneer: "Okay, you are all ministers of my Dou Ling Empire. You are usually supported by high-ranking officials with generous salaries, but now you can't play any role at all. .Okay, that’s great!”

"Your Majesty, I know."

At this time, a clerk at the back of the crowd couldn't help but speak.

The "Imperial Ministers" in front made a gap with a swipe, and they flashed out in an instant.

Xu Sanshi stared at it.

This is a young man who is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old. He looks like a thin scholar, and his soul power aura is that of a new soul master.

Judging from the person's attire, it seems that the other person's official position is not worthy at all, and he is not even qualified to enter the court meeting.

When Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi arrested people before, they arrested them indiscriminately. They arrested all the officials, big and small, who were still alive in the city.

"Oh? You know? Then tell me and let me hear it." Xu Sanshi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

The young official bowed and said: "The first question Master Qian just asked is about military affairs. Due to his status, I have no way of knowing. But about other things, I know a little bit about it. The first is the remaining food in the city. .”

After listening to him telling the data he knew one by one, and adding some analysis based on his own understanding, Xu Sanshi's expression softened a little.

Even if the other party does not know many things in detail because of his low status, his views on many things are slightly optimistic.

But this is enough to show that he is indeed contributing to disaster relief and is sincerely thinking about the Dou Ling Empire.

The questions Qian Chaoguang asked were actually not tricky.

Except for the two generals and officials who do not have a certain status and do not know the remaining troops and the degree of damage to the city defense equipment, as long as they pay a little attention to the rest, they will basically have some idea.

Someone like the Prime Minister who couldn't even answer half a sentence was simply not paying attention at all.

After listening to the young official's analysis and answers, Xu Sanshi's anger suddenly subsided a little, and he even nodded slightly.

He looked at the young official and asked, "Who are you, what is your cultivation level, and what position do you hold?"

The clerk said respectfully: "Back to my lord, my name is Luo Lan. He is an eleventh-level soul master. He is the grain officer of Warehouse No. 1 in Lingdou City."

A grain officer is an official, but to put it bluntly, he is an official warehouse manager.

It is said that officials as big as sesame seeds are promoted.

During the ten-hour disaster relief process, the grain officer named Roland definitely fulfilled his duties.

In other respects, he could only speak vaguely.

But when it comes to food-related matters, his confidence comes out, and a light is released in his eyes.

The various data in his mouth were extremely clear, and he also analyzed it in a simple and in-depth way and gave some of his own solutions.

"Grain officer, hehehe." Xu Sanshi sneered and looked at the imperial ministers in front of him, "Even a small grain officer knows something, but none of you losers can answer it?"

After that, he looked at Roland and raised his hand: "Your name is Roland, right? From now on, you will be the Prime Minister of this Dou Ling Empire."

"Ah, me?" Roland was suddenly startled and waved his hand quickly, "No, no, prince, I am just a grain official, how can I shoulder the responsibility of the prime minister of a country?"

The former Prime Minister who was trampled under his feet also struggled and said: "Your Majesty, this is too much child's play. He is just a low-level official, so how can he..."

"Bang bang."

The words that the former Prime Minister had not finished speaking came to an abrupt end, followed by the crisp sound of broken bones.

Xu Sanshi exerted force on his feet, and his head exploded instantly, like a ripe watermelon that shattered all over the ground.

The red and white ones flowed all over the floor.

Xu Sanshi smiled and looked at the imperial ministers who were hesitant to speak: "Who has any other opinions? Raise them as soon as possible, don't waste time."

For a moment, the place was silent.

There were hundreds of officials, no one said a word.

"Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled. From now on, Roland, you will be the new prime minister of the Dou Ling Empire." Xu Sanshi said calmly, "You can learn and explore. Even if you Even if you don’t do it well enough, it’s still ten times and a hundred times better than these useless corpses!”

"Yes," Roland replied in a trembling voice.

"A man, stand up to the heaven and earth, and give me more confidence!" Xu Sanshi said dissatisfied, "In the future, the heavy burden of the prime minister of a country will still be on your shoulders. What does it look like to be weak?"

Roland was excited, stood up straight, and answered loudly with almost all his strength: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

"You still call me Prince?" Qian Chaoguang, who had been watching the show for a long time, asked.

"His Majesty!"

Roland's originally straight body bent down again, and he knelt on his knees, bowing his head.

"Please also ask Your Majesty the Prince to inherit the throne, stabilize the people's hearts, and lead us to revive our power in fighting spirits!"

The civil and military officials on the side hurriedly got off the slope, and under the leadership of the old handsome man, they knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please, Your Majesty, inherit the throne and revive my power as a spirit warrior!"

Xu Sanshi nodded silently.

While he was talking about the situation, he also sent a message to Qian Chaoguang: "Chaoguang, why did you ask me to come? Was it something you had already planned?"

Qian Chaoguang also sent a message back: "If I don't kidnap you, will the Dou Ling Empire be saved? I have received accurate news that a rebel force is launching a rebellion."

"If you don't become the emperor, the Dou Ling Empire will collapse before the Sun and Moon Empire takes action. Looking at these wastes in front of you, can you feel relieved and leave?"

"Can't let go"

Xu Sanshi sighed deeply.

Under normal circumstances, he would never stay here to be a prince, let alone the emperor of a country.

If he is greedy for power, there is a clan leader in his family waiting for him to inherit, so why bother to take over this mess?

Their Xuanming Sect is also a famous sect on the mainland. The Xuanwu Divine Pill and Xuanshui Pill they produce are the top elixirs on the mainland and are extremely powerful.

However, the Dou Ling Empire is now in a state of turmoil.

The country will perish.

No matter what, he also has the blood of the royal family flowing through him and must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

Asking himself, Xu Sanshi was really worried about handing over his huge empire to the bunch of losers in front of him.

He could not just watch the Douling Empire fall apart, nor could he allow Xue Leng and Xue Kui to rebel and seize the throne.

To put it mildly, the civil strife in the Dou Ling Empire would displace countless civilians.

Speaking more broadly, without the help of the Dou Ling Empire, how could the Star Luo Empire alone be able to fight against the eager Sun and Moon Empire?

It has to be said that the beheading operation planned by Orange with the help of the inner ghost was extremely successful.

If Qian Chaoguang hadn't kidnapped Xu Sanshi and used thunderous means to help him secure the throne, I'm afraid the Sun and Moon Empire would have taken down the entire Douling Empire without any bloodshed.

As for that useless Prime Minister, he will be killed if he is to be killed.

As Xu Sanshi said.

What is the use of this kind of waste who only fights for power in the court?

It's possible that he does have some abilities, but killing him will make the imperial power structure run more smoothly.

In troubled times, important codes should be used.

In an extraordinary world with individual power, this is much more convenient than a real feudal dynasty.

Not working?

If you don't work, you will die.

At most, Xu Sanshi should work harder on his own.

The worst thing is that he still has his mother, so he just needs to find foreign aid.

If it weren't for the fear that too many killings would destabilize people's hearts, Xu Sanshi would even want to kill the old commander who was over sixty years old as well.

Xu Sanshi's idea was simple: If he was really capable, why not take command and go to the border to fight against the Sun and Moon Empire?

If he is really capable, he can let the two beast king-level soul master groups of the Sun and Moon Empire destroy the palace like this, while the city defense system of Spirit Dou City does not react at all?

Yes, the Dou Ling Empire's technology in soul guidance devices is somewhat inferior.

But you should have eyes, right?

There are six hundred people flying in the sky, and you are so dumbfounded that you can't see them?

Really, it sucks!

After sending away some unimportant petty officials, there were only a handful of people left next to the ruins of the palace.

These are the so-called humerus ministers of the Dou Ling Empire. If you take any one of them individually, their titles and official positions are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Looking at these people, Qian Chaoguang sneered and said angrily: "Just like that dead idiot said, maybe I am a layman when it comes to being an official. But when it comes to killing, I am an absolute master."
