Chapter 1,276: Covering the Sky with One Hand (2)

"Does this mean that you should be a born emperor?"

Dongfang Keer looked at the trembling Yang Xin with great interest, a charming smile appeared on her delicate little face.

The world is like this. There are always some incompetent people living at the top of the pyramid by virtue of their superior background.

They are born with no worries about food and clothing, no need to work hard, and no need to worry about the family around them.

This kind of comfort makes them proud.

This kind of arrogance is a kind of self-righteousness that is arrogant to the bone, even arrogant.

If this kind of people were thrown onto a desert island at the same time as the lowest-income people, the first ones to die would definitely be these fat-headed fools!

It's a pity that Xinglan Continent has always been a place where the weak prey on the strong, and the strong are respected.

In Dongfang Ke'er's eyes, the emperor of the Xiuyun Empire was simply an unsightly stupid pig. Even if he was killed with a knife, he would be afraid that the oil and water he left behind would be too greasy, making him fat but not thin.

"What a boring emperor!"

Dongfang Ke'er shook his head helplessly and held his palms in the air. Yang Xin's eyes suddenly bulged and exploded into a mass of flesh and blood.

This situation made all the civil and military officials in the main hall shrink their necks with pale faces. They all abandoned their loyalty to the royal family and their righteousness through fire and water in haste.

"Lord God, what should we do with the others?" Jing Haichuan asked respectfully, facing Dongfang Ke'er.

Hearing this, Yang Yan had an idea and quickly kowtowed in front of the palace: "Lord God, you are the emperor of my Xiuyun Empire! I, Yang Yan, am willing to be loyal to you forever and remain loyal!"

Yang Yan had just died, and his actions like this fell into the eyes of everyone, but they did not arouse any contempt.

On the contrary, countless people began to follow his example, kowtowing in the hall and shouting slogans of "Long Live" to Dongfang Ke'er.

The performance of these people has obviously won the appreciation of Dongfang Keer.

"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. Very good. Then you can keep your heads for the time being."

After hearing Dongfang Ke'er's words, everyone quickly kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

The frightened people were trembling and kneeling on the ground. Dongfang Ke'er's stunning face, which was enough to make men in the world have evil thoughts, was now so terrifying in their eyes.

It was so terrifying that they didn't even dare to take a peek at Dongfang Keer's skirt.

"It's so boring to take down the royal family so easily." Dongfang Keeryu put her chin in her hand, feeling a little disappointed.

Hearing this, Xiao Huan's eyes narrowed slightly behind him, and his eyes became more and more complicated.

Now Dongfang Ke'er has really covered the sky with one hand. Then after she dominates the western region of the mainland, will she avenge Xu Kun for her sacrifice in the Night of the Gods as promised?

"Lord God... you promised me before..."

"Well, let's talk about it later." Dongfang Ke'er heard what Xiao Huan said and immediately interrupted it.

Seeing this, Xiao Huan's expression changed: "Sir, no one in the Xiuyun Empire can threaten you now. With your strength, you should be able to deal with the one who sacrificed to Xu Kun, right?"

"Ouch——"

An extremely violent roar suddenly came from behind. Everyone looked up in shock and saw Xing Tian, ​​who was wrapped in demonic energy, suddenly grabbed Xiao Huan's neck with one hand and lifted it directly into the air.

"Well!!"

Xiao Huan clung to Xing Tian's arm that exuded black demonic energy, trying to struggle, but couldn't even make the slightest effort, causing his legs to kick wildly in mid-air, which was very miserable.

During this process, the Jing sisters just watched with smiles, and no one came to stop or persuade them. In their eyes, Xiao Huan was just a dog, just like Hua Dounan and Baili Tianyi. Not a companion.

Feeling that Xing Tian had murderous intent, Dongfang Keer sighed helplessly: "Xing Tian, ​​let go of it."

After giving the order, Xing Tian's face froze and he quickly released his palm.

At this moment, when Xiao Huan fell to the ground, he coughed several times in pain, stepped back sharply, and looked at Xing Tian with a look of fear.

That face of Baili Tianyi is now the real Demon God of Xingtian.

At the peak of the Star Realm, such a monster scares Xiao Huan from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiao Huan, the so-called sacrifice to Xu Kun you are talking about cannot be Xingtian's opponent at all. As long as I find Bai Chen and Ku Zhi and kill them both, I will naturally help you then. Do you understand?"

Dongfang Ke'er's beautiful eyes glowed with a cold look, and after being silent for a while, he spoke again: "So, if you really want to avenge the Phantom God, help me find those two people earlier, instead of standing there. Complain here.”

"Yes...I know I was wrong."

Xiao Huan lowered his head and froze on the spot humbly.

It is a seventh-level peak monster, but now it lives such a lowly life, but everything is its own choice, who can it blame?

Dongfang Ke'eryu put her hand on the dragon chair and touched it along the dragon pattern. A smile appeared on her pretty face: "Is this what it feels like to rule the world?"

Facing her muttering, the entire hall was filled with awe and silence.

…

After Dongfang Keer dominated the imperial city, he seemed to have truly covered the sky with one hand.

Not only did she begin to increase taxes on the people, she also set up stargazing towers in many places to show the world her imperial power.

The cruel double taxation has made the lives of billions of people in the Xiuyun Empire miserable. Rich businessmen have turned into hawkers, and hawkers have turned into untouchables. What about the untouchables? Then he became a beggar everywhere.

The manpower and material resources used to build the stargazing platform were unprecedented. Countless people died tragically for this huge project.

The emperor is unkind, and everything is like a rotten dog.

This scene lasted for more than three months after she ascended the throne.

Qingzhou.

In front of Tangmen Mansion.

Tang Xiaoling and a group of people from the Tang family placed ten large iron pots on the street early in the morning.

Fragrant hot porridge was boiling in the iron pot, and the down-and-out people lined up in a long and neat queue to receive relief from the Tang Sect. The long queue could not be seen to the end.

Looking up at the people who walked straight to the end, their clothes were torn and pitiful, Tang Xiaoling gritted his teeth: "This Dongfang Ke'er is simply abominable. With such an increase in taxes, is it going to make all the people in the world become beggars and starve to death on the streets? !”

"Ling'er, don't make a bad king!" Mr. Tang stood behind Tang Xiaoling and couldn't help but sigh.

Ordinary people who originally lived in the Xiuyun Empire were relatively wealthy.

Because of Dongfang Keer's reign, in just three months, the people's savings, which they had saved for a lifetime or even several lifetimes, were all handed over to the royal family. People who could not bear the heavy tax were finally forced to sell their houses and land. To the point of becoming a beggar.

A few beggars may be able to get help from rich people, but if there are beggars everywhere, everyone will be in danger, and no one will dare to help them.

Therefore, for a time, people were starving and dying everywhere, and the people were miserable.

Even the Tang Clan, the most wealthy family in Qingzhou, could only give the common people a mouthful of porridge. Faced with a population of nearly one million, Tang Xiaoling, even though he had a chivalrous heart, was obviously lacking in mental strength.

The lowered palms trembled slightly. Tang Xiaoling's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his eyes to look at the people who were suffering and finally couldn't help but shed tears.

"Bai Chen, where have you been..."

…

In a deserted grassland, in a secret room three thousand meters below the earth, Bai Chen finally opened his eyes after half a year of retreat.

At this moment, a strange light suddenly disappeared from his eyes, and his whole aura underwent a complete transformation.
