Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1305 Let the Empire Be Great Again! Xu Tianran!

The recruitment of guards and retainers from aristocratic families is progressing rapidly. With the Hongchen aristocratic families taking the lead, other aristocratic families and nobles readily followed suit, offering some of their guards to Xu Tianran to form a small legion.

Jing Hongchen did not deliberately delay the maintenance of the war behemoth and completed the task quickly.

"Your Majesty, the thirty-four war behemoths have been repaired and maintained. Their external routes are stable, and their cannons have been aligned," Jing Hongchen reported.

Looking at the two enormous soul tools in front of him, with their thick cannon muzzles, Xu Tianran couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

He glanced at Jing Hongchen, who was bowing his head respectfully. The latter was diligently inspecting the war behemoth and could be considered to have caught up with his big ship.

Jing Hongchen didn't check the core array sequence, only the lines and the accuracy of the artillery fire, which Xu Tianran tacitly agreed to.

"Summon all officials; the army is ready to depart."

Xu Tianran was always quick and decisive in his actions, and immediately began preparations for departure.

Due to Xu Tianran's high standards, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps quickly formed a new vanguard army and awaited the emperor's arrival.

Xu Tianran was clad in armor, with a luxurious and exquisite longsword at his waist.

Jing Hongchen, who was already the Imperial Advisor, personally carried the helmet that came with the armor and followed behind Xu Tianran.

"Soldiers, I'm too lazy to say anything more."

"I have only one thing to say: follow me on this expedition, serve the empire, earn military merit, and amass a fortune!"

"Army! March forward!"

Xu Tianran drew his long sword from his waist, the tip pointing towards the sky.

The army, promised great rewards, advanced at high speed.

"Imperial Advisor, I'm entrusting my headquarters to you." Xu Tianran looked at Jing Hongchen with a faint smile.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to ensure the Empire's support." Jing Hongchen knew, of course, that Xu Tianran would not allow him to assume the true responsibility of regent; this was merely lip service to warn him.

Xu Tianran was very satisfied with Jing Hongchen's pragmatism.

To subdue the aristocratic families, you have to subdue the one with the biggest head.

Besides the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps and the new Vanguard Corps, there was another team that secretly carried half of the abyssal creatures and left Mingdu by another route.

However, Xu Tianran did not bring all the abyssal creatures with him. Instead, he left one-third of them at the experimental field of the Sun and Moon Palace to continue the experiments.

The general commanding this force was none other than Xu Tianyou, the head of Xu Tianran's secret guards.

As one of Xu Tianran's most deeply manipulated trump cards, Xu Tianyou will only steadfastly execute Xu Tianran's orders.

Even if the order to be executed is to perish together.

As the bells of the sun and moon rang, all the noble families of Mingdu lined up in two neat rows, their faces showing respect as they looked at the emperor riding on horseback.

Putting aside opinions about Xu Tianran's policies, this emperor truly emerged from blood and fire.

Kong Deming also arrived at the scene, but he was not wearing official robes and did not show any expression or movement.

She simply watched Xu Tianran quietly.

He gazed at the student he hadn't mentored well, and at the younger generation.

Xu Tianran naturally noticed Kong Deming's arrival, but he just smiled, turned his horse around, and said, "Let's go."

One after another, the flying soul tools emitted streams of air, and the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps transformed into a floating state, following behind Xu Tianran.

The vanguard was not allowed to follow behind the emperor. All the soldiers and generals carried flying soul tools on their backs and transformed into streaks of light that shot straight into the sky.

Xu Tianran's figure gradually disappeared into the clouds, and the remaining officials and noble families all focused their attention on Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen.

It's important to know that one of these two was once the Grand Preceptor of the Sun and Moon, whose status was second only to Xu Tianran, while the other is the recently rising Imperial Preceptor, whose status is now second only to the Emperor.

Will there be any major conflict between the two officials, one old and one new?

This is what the aristocratic families are happy to see.

After all, although the Hongchen family is wealthy, it is not large in number.

The number of people who pursue both the laughter and dreams of the mortal world is enough to circle the Ming Dynasty several times over.

Meng Hongchen, in particular, is a stunningly beautiful and fiery woman. Not only is she exceptionally beautiful, but she also possesses the dual titles of genius soul master and genius soul tutor.

If Xu Tianran doesn't target this person, then the aristocratic families will have to rely on their own methods.

However, Jing Hongchen, who was being thought of, only exchanged a glance with Kong Deming and nodded to each other as a greeting, and then left without saying another word.

This greatly disappointed the noble families who were waiting to see a good show.

Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were well aware of what these ministers were thinking, and of course, they wouldn't let them have their way.

The latest novel is first published here!

It wasn't until they returned to the court and met several elders of the Sun and Moon royal family that the ministers realized that Jing Hongchen was merely one of the regents, and that there were several other members keeping him in check.

Kong Deming glanced at the several elders of the Sun and Moon royal family standing in the court.

The elders of the Sun and Moon Royal Family seemed to avoid meeting Kong Deming's gaze, standing quietly with their eyes slightly closed.

Jing Hongchen accepted the imperial edict from one of the elders of the Sun Moon Royal Family, announced that the Sun Moon Empire had entered a special wartime period, and then announced a few insignificant rules before declaring the court session over.

During this period, the patrol forces of Mingdu were temporarily taken over by Xu Tianran's trusted secret guards, and the original police station of Mingdu temporarily became a subordinate department of the secret guards.

Meanwhile, some of the reserve members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps supplemented the city's defenses, and were all under the leadership of Xu Ziteng, the vice-commander of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps.

The entire capital city of Ming was plunged into an unprecedented silence.

Even during the daytime, the street vendors quietly set up their stalls and then sat down beside them, not daring to shout out their wares.

At the same time, the Oudu Chamber of Commerce is the most special one.

We'll do it the same way we always have, but oh well, we'll get the sound system all set up.

They directly and vigorously promoted the Sacred Angel series of charged soul guides in Mingdu City.

Under the watchful eyes of these secret guards, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce became the sole voice in Mingdu City.

A large number of commoners, merchants, and nobles flocked into the second building of Aodu. It was the only place where they could speak freely and even sing a few lines.

If you're tired or sleepy, the Aodu Second Building also offers accommodation, but it's extremely expensive.

This resulted in commoners and small merchants staying in separate areas from aristocratic families.

Xu Ziteng also passed by the Aodu Second Building several times, and even went inside twice.

However, Li Yuanren was cunning. He directly used the certificate of the designated cooperative institution of the Sun Moon Royal as a signboard and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the lobby on the first floor, and used dozens of soul guide screens for projection.

As if afraid Xu Ziteng wouldn't know, His Majesty also has a share in the business of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce!

Faced with this tactic, Xu Ziteng had no choice but to abandon his idea of ​​asking the Aodu Chamber of Commerce for some public management fees.

However, it wasn't just the Aodu Second Building that was making noise.

Inside the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace, the silent wailing continued. (End of Chapter)
