With the beginning of the era of major annexation, the world became increasingly chaotic, and all the princes were desperately expanding their strength.

As the first to take the pace of expansion and eat the first piece of fat meat, Li Mu naturally became the target of all parties.

The facts once again proved that it is not easy to be a good person. After annexing the land of Wu and Yue, all the princes in the world regarded him as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

But there is nothing to regret. If you start a business in the southwest border area, if you don’t make a name for yourself, how can you attract talents to join us?

It is different to annex the land of Wu and Yue. The ten southwest prefectures + two Lingnan prefectures + the thirteen states of Wu and Yue, and the 108 states in the world, Li Mu occupied nearly a quarter of them.

The King of Chu, who was originally highly anticipated, was still trapped in Lingnan and advanced and retreating. In the chaotic times, the battle for hegemony was slow, one step at a time.

Once the land of Wu and Yue was digested, Li Mu would inevitably launch a war to unify the southern states. Unless the King of Chu could annex all the remaining southern prefectures and counties, it would be difficult to gain advantage in the subsequent confrontation.

Obviously, this is impossible. Not everyone can cheat. According to the normal pace of war, even if the battle in Lingnan is smooth, it will drag him on for several years.

There is no other reason, it is because the area is too large. Each state has a territory of millions of square kilometers, with thousands of cities of all sizes and large. There are a lot of problems involved, and how can it be solved in a short period of time?

Even Li Mu, who was prepared for a long time, immediately turned into a defensive state after embezzling Wu and Yue lands and began to digest spoils.

There is no way, I am really overwhelmed. If I stop and take a break, the bureaucracy will collapse.

If there is no force forcibly inserting it, the battle in the south will basically be clear, and it is only a matter of time before Li Mu wins.

Although the probability of unifying the world from the south is not high, it depends on what the situation is. As long as the northern princes decide the victory or defeat, unifying the south and launching the Northern Expedition will be completely different.

Compared with all the princes in the world, Li Mu's first-mover advantage is already very obvious. Such obvious advantages are enough to let go of the prejudice in his heart and fight for great wealth.

Every day, there are talents from all over the world who recommend themselves. The recruitment platform, which originally had little presence, has now become the hottest yamen.

The influx of talents gave Li Mu the confidence to be a family of Wu and Yue. Those who follow me may not prosper, but those who go against me will definitely die.

The practice of suppressing the powerful families naturally made many people unhappy. After all, everyone was born in a wealthy family, but they also received the support of many knowledgeable people.

As long as the knife does not hit oneself, it is acceptable to damage the class interests. For a group of wealthy families in decline, there is no chance of not reshuffling their own family.

As for the boss who is strong, it is just a small problem. Looking at the past and present, there has been no founding monarch who is not strong. Only a strong boss can win the final victory in the battle for the dragon.

Including many suppressed aristocratic families, after confirming that the opposition is invalid, they also chose to accept their fate. The aristocratic families compete for the long-term, and temporary gains and losses are not important.

Imperial power and aristocratic families were originally seesaws, so just wait. In the middle and late stages of the dynasty, it was the time for them to make efforts. The most important thing now is to maintain their right to speak.

For the aristocratic families, losing their right to speak politically is undoubtedly a disaster. This means that they will eventually become meat on the chopping board and become someone else's on-the-trade meal.

The land of Wu and Yue gradually became calm, but the situation in the world did not stabilize. The ancient emperor, who took the blame, became a public enemy of the world again, and the forces from all sides wished to tear him apart.

Unfortunately, the ending was destined to be disappointing. Realizing that the bad ancient universe was not good, he directly chose to be silent.

The powerful immortals and gods are not invincible, and they cannot stop the union of all forces, let alone an injured immortal god.

Even though he knew that he had taken the blame, the ancient world could not explain. The yin energy left on the scene had pointed the finger at the ghost lineage.

This account does not record him as the boss, who else can he record?

Looking around the world, who else has this strength besides him, the ghost god?

The ghost creature in the underworld, the dragon court in the dark world. He glanced at the ghosts, and the ancient world asked coldly: "Have you found that mysterious ghost?"

As the pioneer of the ghost lineage, the ancient universe has a strong intimidation to the ghost souls in the world. Now it is suspected that a ghost immortal god beyond his control has appeared, so he has no choice but to be careful.

It would be fine if he took the blame, but if he had too much debt, he would not suppress himself. The ancient emperor didn't mind offending all forces even more ruthlessly.

But if someone picks peaches at the critical moment of the fight, it would be a tragedy.

"Report to Your Majesty, that mysterious ghost just flashed away in the land of Wu and Yue. After conspiring to the powerful people of various forces, it quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

We sent people to investigate the land of Wu and Yue, and found that the local ghosts were all slaughtered by various forces, and no clues were left behind.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the remaining yin energy on the scene is very pure, even if we are the Ghost King, we are not as good as that. I am afraid that there is only one..."

After glanced at Gu Zhou's face, the red-haired old ghost decisively swallowed the words behind. The yin energy left on the scene was purer than that of his own boss, so he really didn't dare to say that.

The human race occupies most of the world's energy, and it is very difficult for aliens to practice. For ghosts, the yin energy is similar to the spiritual energy cultivated by the human race, and the pure Yin energy represents the profound cultivation.

If the ghost lineage has a strong man whose cultivation level exceeds his own Majesty, what will happen next? The red-haired old ghost dare not think about it.

The clues were broken, and it was even more difficult to find the ghost. What made the ancient Zhou even more worried was that even if the ghost was found, he would have no choice but to deal with the other party.

Although he has been here for several years, he still has not recovered from his peak. All the injuries left by the battle have been cured, but the injuries left by the human backlash have been unable to be resolved for a long time.

Under this background, if he dares to emerge, he will be immediately liquidated by joint efforts by various forces.

Those old forces that have been passed down from ancient times do not have many tricks to put in the box. If they are all used on him, the ancient world will not be able to protect them.

"Since I have taken action once, there will be a second time. I ordered ghosts from all over the world to stare at me with wide eyes, and report any clues immediately.

Before we find that mysterious ghost, we suspend all previous plans, and now we need patience."

This is not only said to the ghosts under his command, but also to the ancient world himself. The emperor who has traveled through the ages actually reminded himself to be patient. If he spread it, he would definitely scare many people.

But in the face of cruel reality, the ancient world cannot be careless.

"When time comes, heaven and earth are all in power, and heroes are not free from luck."

His luck has dissipated. Now he is an ordinary immortal god, no longer as charm as before.

...

In the Southwest Prince's Mansion, there are gongs and drums and firecrackers, and anyone who sees it knows that this is a wedding.

On the smiling faces of the ministers, you can see that the marriage activity that you like has finally officially started.

This time it was completed by the main vein. It was mainly due to the ancient emperor's contribution. The disappearance in the Wuyue land caused concerns among all forces.

As the four top clans in the world, they also have a sense of crisis at this moment and dare not play too excitedly in the battle for dragons.

So everyone came together, and the battle for dragons must continue, but the intensity of the struggle must be reduced.

No matter what method is used to deal with other Qianlongs, but when the Qianlongs supported by the four families are fighting in internal battles, the power of the soul level must not appear on the battlefield.

Marriage is one of the guarantee methods. Even if the Qianlong you support fails, there is a chance to make a new choice.

Li Mu really can't refuse such a good thing.

Everything has two sides. As the groom's official, Li Mu has not had such a good life in the mansion recently. The concubines in front of him all came in a sedan chair, and this wave was a formal marriage between the media and the gongs and drums.

A woman’s jealousy is terrible. If you want to enjoy the blessings of all people, you must first endure the test of the Shura field.

In fact, the palace fighting drama began from the beginning of the wedding. Now the three people are all noble girls from aristocratic families, and whoever comes first and whoever comes later is a problem.

No one can give in. It is not only the status of the three of them, but also the face of the aristocratic families. No one can be inferior to others.

In order to balance this issue, the royal mansion even widened the door and directly allowed three sedan chairs to enter the door at the same time.

Fortunately, the right to speak is in the hands of these companies, and some are literati and poets responsible for washing the floor, otherwise this would be a farce.

With three more hostesses, the royal family transitioned from being the only one in the family to the era of four-legged power.

Watching palace fighting dramas is a pleasure, but it will be completely different when you happen to yourself.

Fortunately, this is the feudal era, and no matter how much trouble it is, it has to be around him, otherwise it will be difficult to settle.

The open confrontation has subsided, but the secret struggle has continued. Now Li Mu really admires the time traveler seniors who can settle the crowd and make them devote themselves to their hearts.

When I got to myself, I changed completely. If I really talked about feelings, I would probably be the most sincere thing in the world. Now I have developed a little friendship with the witch over time, and the rest are pure combinations of interests.

Although the side effects are not small, the benefits are real. In the eyes of the outside world, Li Mu got a ticket to Victory Port.

The four major seed players from the north also received this honor. As for the remaining princes, they still need to continue their efforts.

There is no way, this is the heart of the people. After thousands of years of operation, the influence of aristocratic families has penetrated into all aspects of this world.

In the minds of the people of the world, if you want to win the victory of fighting for the dragon in troubled times, you must first gain the recognition of the four major families.

Now Li Mu fully understands the mood of Emperor Yang of Sui to suppress the aristocratic families. The existence of these guys poses too great a threat to the imperial power.

Fortunately, the four major families are all in the north, and there is no core conflict of interest between the two sides, otherwise they will be really uncomfortable.

The power of the aristocratic families is all-round, but if you want to defeat them, you only need to kill high-end power.

Everyone pushes it. In this era when great power belongs to oneself, a family that has lost its high-end family will also become meat on the cutting board.

Of course, suppressing the aristocratic families is second to the point of accepting the legacy they have left behind.

With the negative example of Emperor Yang of Sui, Li Mu would not show off his hatred.

It is impossible to say that at this time, the ancient emperor needs to be summoned. As the best scapegoat in history, only the ancient emperor can take on this great task.
