Shen Lang looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly he couldn't say anything.
He wants to expedition north, to take back the Eastern Empire, to take back the Xi Lun Empire, to take back the whole world.
However... what can be taken back.
Jiang Li always stayed in the North Pole, he didn't take a step, and he didn't even claim to be the emperor. The emperor of the whole world was still Shen Lang in name.
Shen Lang has not appeared in the past few decades, and in the official records of the empire, Shen Lang also did not go south in the North Pole.
At this time, it was the first time that the entire Tiannan Province saw Shen Lang.
Of course, the ancient human beings in the Jiangli Empire must know clearly that this Shen Lang is the greatest enemy of Jiangli Emperor, or even the only enemy.
But for the vast majority of ordinary human beings, even the officials of the Governor's Mansion, even the warriors of Heishuitai, even hundreds of thousands of troops, countless people in Tiannan City, the moment they saw Shen Lang, there was only one feeling .
The emperor of the empire has come.
For decades, in their minds, Shen Lang has always been the supreme emperor of this empire. His Majesty has never appeared before, and now he has descended into Tiannan Province.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
At first tens of thousands of people chanted, then hundreds of thousands, millions of people chanted.
All the troops, all landed back to the ground, knelt down and kowtowed. All the civilians, and finally all the slaves outside, all put down all their work and all knelt on the ground.
In the beginning, Long Live Shanhu, just followed, not too enthusiastic.
But gradually, the blood on everyone's body seemed to heat up, regardless of the cheers and tsunami, and even everyone's eyes were incomparably enthusiastic, awe, and worship.
Not just the military, civilians, but even countless slaves.
It is said that slaves should hate Shen Lang. The empire made them the atonement and let them live a life like beasts. But no, the eyes of these slaves were originally dead, but now they have temperature and become warm.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
With the chanting of millions of people, all the bells in Tiannan City did not strike.
At this time, Shen Lang could feel the emotions of countless civilians and slaves towards Jiang Li Empire.
These slaves are not as good as pigs and dogs, but... they actually understand Jiang Li somewhat, and they seem to agree with this sense of mission.
save the world. All existing oppression, all unjust order, is to save the world.
Of course, no one knows that Jiang Li will eventually sacrifice hundreds of millions of people's lives. The only thing he wants to save is the hundreds of thousands of ancient and new human beings. Everything else is a source of energy and cannon fodder.
In the minds of countless people, no matter how dark this empire is, it is a last resort.
And in their minds, the emperor of this empire is Shen Lang. The reason why Your Majesty treats us like this is a last resort.
In an instant, Shen Lang's mood was extremely complicated. How could he go north and retake the entire empire? Everyone is allegiance to him, how can the northern expedition be?
Wherever he went, everyone knelt down, long live the mountain. In everyone's mind, Shen Lang is the emperor of the empire, and the entire empire belongs to him, how can he take it back?
Of course, all the ancient and new humans regarded Shen Lang as their enemy. They played the role of the world's top leaders, ruling and enslaving the world for Jiang Li.
However, they are not resisting now, but follow the act.
There is no war in the empire.
There is no war in the world!
The only war, there is only one, the Battle of the Arctic!
………………………………
Shen Lang glanced at millions of people, then silently entered the Governor's Mansion and pointed at Shen Cheng.
In the study room of the Governor's Mansion, there are only two people, Shen Lang and Shen Cheng.
"There are only the two of us now, you can restore your face." Shen Lang said lightly.
The face of Shen Cheng, the governor of Tiannan Province, began to change, and his body began to change, restoring the true face of the ancient new human beings.
He really wasn't Shen Cheng.
"What's your name, I won't ask." Shen Lang said: "I'll just ask you, where is the real Shencheng?"
"I don't know!" Fake Shencheng said, "I really don't know."
Shen Lang nodded, and then said: "I rode a dragon and entered Tiannan Province. You have hundreds of thousands of troops, and you have mastered the entire Tiannan Province's weapon system. Why don't you attack me?"
"Don't dare..." Fake Shencheng said: "Because in everyone's eyes, you are the emperor of the empire. And the most important reason is that we have not received any will about you, so we cannot take any action."
Understood!
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at the fake Shencheng in front of him.
"How many ancient new humans are there in the entire Tiannan City?" Shen Lang asked.
"Nineteen." Fake Shen Cheng said.
I can't imagine that the Tiannan City of Nuoda, with a population of nearly 3 million, is completely under the rule of nineteen ancient new humans, and it is still so stable.
Shen Lang looked at the fake Shencheng in front of him, do you want to kill him? Do you want to kill these nineteen ancient new humans?
After a long while, Shen Lang gave up the idea.
Of course, Shen Lang could completely execute them, and execute them directly with the emperor's will, and then directly send someone to take over the entire Tiannan City, hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people will not have any resistance, and even take it for granted.
But is it necessary? !
Once he is ready to take over Tiannan Province, Shen Lang must make all preparations, and even need to have the entire energy system, which can directly replace the hell crystal system of Jiangli Empire in Tiannan City, allowing the huge Tiannan City to be seamlessly connected. If something goes wrong, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, may die.
The previous struggle between him and Jiang Li was not a struggle for power and profit, nor for a turf, but for the right to speak and choose a route in this world.
When Shen Lang finally fought the Great Yan Empire in the final battle, there was almost no major war, and it was directly with the Great Yan Emperor. Whoever wins is the ruler of the world. Everyone must agree with this result, including Prince Ji.
Then between Shen Lang and Jiang Li, even more so!
If you don't kill the fake Shencheng, then warn him that you must not squeeze these more than one million slaves? Free them completely?
Neither!
Any order, no matter how bad or dark, is at least order. If you want to change, you must do it slowly, not directly and violently, which will have dire consequences.
"I'm leaving, you can do it yourself." Shen Lang said lightly.
Fake Shencheng stood there, motionless.
Shen Lang left the Governor's Mansion, mounted the giant dragon, and flew straight into the air, heading north.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Millions of people shouted in unison again, kneeling on the ground to send Shen Lang away.
It wasn't until Shen Lang, who couldn't see Shen Lang at all, that he stood up from the ground, and his whole body became hot. Although the emperor did not say a word, did not inspire, and did not comfort, countless people were still very excited.
His Majesty the Emperor disappeared for decades, and finally appeared again!
……………………………………
Shen Lang rode the giant dragon, going all the way to the north, all the way to the north, and flying along the energy channel of the hell crystal.
After more than 2,000 miles, they came to a huge dome city. This should be Tianyue City, once the capital of Yue Kingdom.
The level of Tianyue City is higher than that of Tiannan City. It is the capital of the entire border crossing. The supreme ruler is Shen Li, Prince Jiang Empire, the first son of Shen Lang and Princess Ning Yan.
At this time, the Tianyue Dome City was also larger than Tiannan City, with a population of more than four million. The diameter of this Tianyue dome may have exceeded 80 kilometers.
When Shen Lang flew into the dome of Tianyue City, he was greeted by an even more astonishing scene.
Before he appeared, millions of people were already kneeling on the ground motionless, waiting for his arrival.
And when his figure just appeared in the air, millions of people knelt down and kowtowed.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Most of the people in this empire had a bad and miserable life, but the vast majority were full of loyalty and fanaticism to His Majesty the Emperor. There may be people who rebel, but the rebels are all instigated by the Mojing warriors. Those who know the truth will want to rebel, know that the Dark Emperor Jiang is not Shen Lang, and know that the Dark Jiang Emperor wants to destroy the whole world, so they will rebel.
And most people don't know the truth. They think that the emperor of Jiang Empire is Shen Lang, and they never know the existence of Jiang Li, let alone the existence of ancient new humans. They always thought that everything Emperor Shen Lang did was for the whole world.
………………………………
Shen Lang entered the palace of Tianyue City, which was still there, and it was almost the same as it was thirty years ago.
This is very rare. The entire Tianyue City has undergone earth-shaking changes. The typical characteristics of the Jiangli Empire are huge, shocking, cold, magnificent, and depressing. Only this palace has been completely preserved, even the same as when Ning Yuanxian was in power.
Shen Lang entered the palace and saw many familiar faces. Yan E, the son of the prince, the son of Zhang Chong, etc., as well as the imperial prince Shen Li who ruled over the border.
But... all of them are fake, all of them are pretended by ancient human beings, and none of them are real.
So, no old friends! Shen Lang looked at this fake Shen Li's face. Although he was from home, the real Shen Li should look like this now.
This child is the least handsome of Shen Lang's sons. He looks serious and serious, but has a hint of honesty.
Although he was an enemy, disguised by an ancient new human being, Shen Lang was still able to look at his face and solve the longing in his heart.
There are only nineteen ancient new humans in the entire Tiannan City, but there are more than one hundred in the entire Tianyue City.
This group of people looked extremely respectful when they were outside the palace. In particular, this fake Shen Li, who keeps saying father and emperor, is full of infinite respect and infinite filial piety.
However, after entering the palace, only Shen Lang and a hundred ancient new humans were present. When there were no ordinary humans, their faces instantly cooled down and they remained silent.
More than a hundred ancient new humans, all recovered their true colors, without kneeling, without begging for mercy, without the threat of cold reprimand.
It's just a cold confrontation!
"You guys didn't get Jiang Li's will, right?" Shen Lang asked, "So I don't know how to face me."
"Yes." Fake Shen said.
Now of course Shen Lang can kill these more than 100 ancient humans, but is he ready to take over the entire Tianyue City with a population of 5 million?
No, he is not ready yet, the new capital of Dagan Empire is still under construction. There aren't enough nuclear-powered cores, not even enough officials, to take over this huge population of millions.
………………………………
In the infinite mountain call, Shen Lang left Tianyue City and continued northward.
There is no war in the empire! All cities do not have to fight, and do not need to fight, he is the emperor of the empire, does he fight himself?
In addition to the mere hundreds of thousands of ancient new humans, the remaining hundreds of millions of people are his subjects, and they are loyal to him until now, how to start a war? How to get it back?
As long as Jiang Li is defeated, the whole world will naturally belong to Shen Lang. Of course, if you lose, then everything will be in ashes.
So next, Shen Lang simply flew very high, all above 10,000 meters. Because along the way, there will still be many domed cities in the Jiangli Empire. If anyone sees it, it will be long live the mountain again, and millions of people will kneel to greet him.
Very shocking, but unnecessary.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, Shen Lang could still see the entire earth clearly.
The further north you go, the colder the weather is. After crossing the country, the temperature has reached minus 100 degrees Celsius.
Outside the energy hood, it is no longer suitable for anyone to survive. Everything in the field of vision is ice and snow.
Even the mountains and rivers are gone, the sky and the earth are white, and the only different color is the hell crystal energy channel, which connects the dome cities of Jiangli Empire like a spider web.
The world is more than half dead.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters, Shen Lang couldn't help but think that even if he defeated Jiang Li, even if he had a nuclear power core, even if he had ancient crops, he could feed hundreds of millions of people.
But is this the world from now on? Do the people of the whole world just live within the energy hood?
Of course, this is Shen Lang's thinking.
In other words, if humans on Earth develop Mars, they will also live underground and have a cover, because the atmosphere of Mars is so thin that there is almost nothing left.
Shen Lang continued to fly north.
After a few more hours, he arrived at the Imperial Capital, which was once the Yanjing of the Great Yan Empire.
………………
I came to Yanjing again, but everything has changed, even completely subverted, and there is almost no trace of the previous Yanjing.
This... this is simply a super city that the world has never seen before.
Even as much as those megacities of modern Earth, the real city skyline feels.
Of course, the whole city is still very ancient, cold, and cold, but it is also full of bizarre magic.
The pure area of this city, which is several thousand square kilometers, does not exceed ten thousand. But the houses in this city are taller, bigger and grander.
However, these houses do not feel like skyscrapers, they are completely ancient houses, but they are very, very high, with dozens of floors in motion.
So it looks really weird.
But no matter what, even if there is no artistic sense, this imperial capital is still full of peculiar flavors.
Shen Lang has never seen such a city in any film and television works. The Lord of the Rings contains the city of Mordor, but it is too small compared to the imperial capital of the Jiangli Empire.
The imperial capital in front of me looked like a real evil empire, a dark forest, but it was brightly lit.
The entire imperial capital has changed, but there is one place that is still the same as it was decades ago, that is the imperial palace, which is exactly the same as when Shen Lang left.
The other houses in the whole city are very tall, the only palace is still the same as before, there are no high-rise buildings, and even the Taboo Tower is not very tall at this time.
But... the entire palace still overlooks the entire imperial capital, standing high above. Because the topography of the palace was directly raised by more than a few hundred meters.
Therefore, the Imperial Palace is like a real city in the sky.
……………………………………
Shen Lang flew over the imperial capital and was not attacked, but there were not countless people pouring out of the mountain and shouting long live.
No one knew of Shen Lang's arrival.
In the past few decades, Jiang Li has not appeared, and Shen Lang has not appeared, so the ruler of the entire world is Prince Jiang Ye in the east and Queen Helen in the west. The Xiron Empire had become part of the Jiang Empire, so Queen Helen became the Queen.
The imperial capital in front of him is the ruling center of the entire world, at least in name.
In the past few decades, all known wills and orders came from within the palace, to be precise, from Prince Jiang Ye.
He is very diligent and wise, and with the assistance of Prime Minister Jin Jun, he has firmly grasped the ruling power of the entire empire for decades.
At this time, it was already night, in the imperial study room of the Imperial Palace.
Prince Jiang Ye, Prime Minister Jin Jun, Deputy Prime Minister Jin Mucong, and several prime ministers of the entire Shangshutai are still busy.
The whole process seemed silent, and no one even spoke.
Several prime ministers are reading memorials. The memorials that are not of high importance can be decided by several prime ministers, and those that cannot be decided are directly handed over to the prince Jiang Ye.
A few people don't even need to use words to communicate, they communicate entirely in words on the memorial, and it's extremely abbreviated words, a sentence may only need two or three words to express, unless it is the highest level of the empire, otherwise they don't know at all. what does it mean.
That's right, Jin Mucong has become the vice minister of the empire, and he is diligent and dedicated. He's not the smartest, but he's definitely the most serious.
"Dangdangdangdang..." The bell struck ten times, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Jin Jun, the first prime minister of the Imperial Bookstore, said: "Let's be busy here today, please come early tomorrow, everyone, go home and rest."
Prince Jiang Ye looked away from the memorial, nodded and said, "Okay, everyone will go home first, you don't have to rush so early tomorrow, just come to the palace before seven o'clock."
It's not too early. I left the palace at 10 o'clock in the evening and went home, and I have to go to work before 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. This is even more extreme than 996.
"Chen wait to retire!" Under the leadership of the first prime minister Jinjun, several prime ministers got up, bowed to the prince, and then retreated neatly.
After a while, the prince was left alone in the entire study.
An old eunuch came in and said, "Your Highness, it's night, go back and rest."
Prince Jiang Ye said: "The prime ministers can rest, but I can't rest. There are still a bunch of memorials in front of me."
The old eunuch said: "These dozens of memorials, it will be too late to approve them again tomorrow."
Prince Jiang Ye said: "Tomorrow's affairs will be pushed to tomorrow, tomorrow's affairs will be pushed to the day after tomorrow, and one day it will be hard to return. Today's affairs are today. Don't talk about me, even Prime Minister Jin Jun and Second Prime Minister Jin Mucong will definitely be able to return after they go back. You have to be busy until at least one o'clock to actually fall asleep."
The old eunuch said: "His Royal Highness is too diligent in administration. You and His Majesty the Emperor should learn this from you. He is very good at enjoying life."
Prince Jiang Ye said: "My father and I are different, and our mission is also different."
The old eunuch said: "I don't understand what you said. I will cook a bowl of bird's nest soup for Your Majesty, so that you can sleep well after drinking it."
"Okay." Prince Jiang Ye began to seriously review the memorial again.
Over the past few decades, every day has been like this. The prince has to work more than fifteen hours a day, and he has to go to sleep at one o'clock every night, but wake up before six o'clock, and it has been like a day for decades.
His diligence in politics can be called a model of kings for thousands of years.
When Shen Lang was the emperor, he looked so unrestrained. He didn't need to go to court, and there was no such thing as diligent administration. But that is the stage of conquering the world. Once the world is governed, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor not to be diligent in government.
Want to be in control, but also want to be smart and happy? Impossible, Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang are both painful lessons.
………………………………
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Prince Jiang Ye ate a bowl of soup, and then continued to review the memorial.
Because I just finished eating, I can't sleep right away, and I sleep after an hour, which is just right.
He mastered the unique rhythm and reviewed the remaining memorials. One, then one.
"when!"
This is the second time the bell has struck, it is already one o'clock in the morning, and it is time to sleep.
At this time, Crown Prince Jiang Ye (Shen Ye) just finished reviewing the last memorial. Today's work is finally completed, and he can go to bed.
The prince stood up, stretched, then left the study, and was about to go to the bedroom.
But... he soon found out that something was wrong, because at this time the old eunuch and the imperial dragon guard needed to come over and escort the prince back to the palace.
The air in the study suddenly flashed suddenly, and then a figure appeared in front of him.
It was Shen Lang.
Prince Jiang Ye was slightly startled when he saw Shen Langyou.
"You're here? You're finally here." Prince Jiang Ye slowly returned to his seat.
Shen Lang looked at the face of the prince in front of him.
The real number one beautiful man in the world, when he was very young, Shen Ye was amazingly handsome, even more handsome than Shen Lang.
Today, he is in his prime, so handsome that one cannot look directly at him. His Ono, growing so big, really seemed like an overnight thing.
But... the prince in front of him is not Jiang Ye, he is still an ancient human disguised.
Not only is he fake, all the prime ministers such as Jin Jun, Jin Mucong, etc. are fake, all of them were made by ancient human beings.
It's just that they seem to be exactly the same every day, even forgetting their true identity, and really regard themselves as Jin Mucong, as Jin Jun.
"Well, after pretending for decades, I really have to forget my true identity." Fake Jiang Ye said: "If you hadn't come, I would have completely regarded myself as Shen Ye."
While speaking, this fake Shen Ye regained his real mask. He is still so handsome and unparalleled, even a little similar to Shen Lang and Shen Ye.
"Introduce myself, I am Jiang Xie's son, Jiang Mie."
The person in front of him, although he was a fake Shen Ye, could be regarded as the true prince. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Jiang Xie's son.
"Of course, don't get me wrong, my mother is not Queen Medusa." Jiang Mie said, "And my name was given by my father when he was young."
Jiang Mie, should this name be considered pessimistic or optimistic?
Shen Lang said: "It is said that Zhang Chong is also the deputy minister of the empire? What about others?"
Jiang Mie said: "Zhang Chong is the deputy prime minister, but he went to Xilun to visit on behalf of Emperor Jing, and went to talk with Queen Helen."
Shen Lang couldn't help but stunned.
Fake Shen Ye (Jiang Mie) said: "Oh, of course, Zhang Chong is fake, we ancient humans are pretending, Queen Helen is also fake, and also fake."
Shen Lang said: "Do you have to be so serious? You are all ancient human beings, but you still want the fake Zhang Chong to visit the fake Helen?"
Jiang Mie said: "It's fake to the depths and it's real. If we don't act seriously, how to govern this incomparably huge empire, these hundreds of millions of people are real."
Shen Lang heard sadness from these words.
Jiang Li has done everything by himself, so the hundreds of thousands of ancient and new human beings under his command can only play the game of ruling the world. That's right, this is a game, no matter how serious and realistic it is, it really looks like a game.
Because Jiang Li's goal is not to maintain and develop the empire, but to devour the vitality of the entire world. These hundreds of millions of people will eventually become cannon fodder and become a source of energy.
Even Jiang Xie's son is no exception, and he has to play this game. This reminded Shen Lang of what was the most important thing when he was playing games on Earth? empathy. If you want a game to be fun, you must first take it seriously.
Shen Lang came to this study and carefully looked at the books on the shelf.
He had stayed in this study before, and it was not long before, after defeating Emperor Dayan and before heading to the North Pole, Shen Lang spent most of his time in this study.
Shen Lang randomly took out a book and flipped through it at will.
And Prince Jiang Mie sat quietly in his chair, motionless.
Shen Lang felt very sad and relieved.
It was sad because Shen Ye was eventually replaced. Originally, Shen Lang thought that Shen Ye was Jiang Li's grandson, the real heir of the Jiang family, so Jiang Li should be open to him and let him truly become a prince and rule the empire. .
The gratification is because Shen Ye is still loyal to his identity, and firmly remembers that he is the son of Shen Lang and Mulan first, and then the heir to the Jiang family.
"Jiang Mie, all the high-level officials of the entire empire, including all my relatives, are all fake, all of them are impersonated by ancient humans, right?" Shen Lang asked.
"Yes." Jiang Mie (fake Shen Ye) said.
Shen Lang asked again: "Then do you know where is the real Shen Ye? And my other children, where are other relatives?"
Jiang Mie said: "I'm sorry, I don't know. Only the emperor knows about this matter. Otherwise, you can ask him in person. You can go to the North Pole and ask him in person. I believe he has been waiting for you."
Jiang Mie did not call the father emperor, but the emperor, or him.
Presumably Jiang Mie himself is also very complicated. The soul of the Dark Emperor Jiang in the North Pole belongs to Jiang Xie, but he always regards himself as Jiang Li, making Jiang Mie unable to call him.
Shen Ye, Bing'er, Ning Yuanxian, etc., where are all of Shen Lang's relatives imprisoned? No one knows except Jiang Li.
"Go to the North Pole? Have a final battle with His Majesty Jiang Li?" Shen Lang said: "Yes! I will go!"
And right now!
The sandalwood smoke in front of him suddenly condensed and turned into the face of Emperor Jiang Li.
Deep, quaint, mysterious, powerful!
Even if it's just a face outlined by smoke, it makes people feel extremely intimidating. Even if it is just a smoke, it seems to be able to wipe out countless lives.
Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty Jiang Li, stay safe!"
Jiang Li said, "Your Majesty Shen Lang, stay safe!"
At this time, Jiang Li called him His Majesty Shen Lang very solemnly.
Shen Lang said: "Excuse me, where are my wife, children, and all my relatives imprisoned?"
Jiang Li's face made of smoke looked at Shen Lang for a moment, and then said lightly: "Your Majesty Shen Lang, I will go to Raging Tide City soon to see your brand-new civilization system, you prepare."
Shen Lang was shocked!
He came to the imperial capital of the Jiang Empire, while Jiang Li went to his Angry Tide City?
Jiang Li went to Raging Tide City in person?
Even if it is not in person, even if it is just a clone, it will be very scary.
Ji's giant dragon in Raging Tide City, plus the Wangtian Totem, plus everyone, all the power is no match for Jiang Li's half finger.
Whether it was Mojing, the abyss fissure, or even the ruins of the ancient Dajie Temple, Jiang Li had never really appeared before, and at most only dispatched second- and third-tier characters. Now, he is going to Raging Tide City?
Jiang Li said slowly: "Your Majesty Shen Lang, prepare yourself, I'll be right here!"
Then, Jiang Li's face, formed by the condensed sandalwood smoke, completely dissipated!
