Doomsday Code

Chapter 457 The way forward

It can be said that the power of capital is strong because it represents human desires.

At this time, Huidun's thinking was "led astray" by Chen Cheng's capital, and Chen Cheng believed that when he ascended the throne, from the perspective of the entire kingdom, he would increasingly dislike and even hate the old aristocratic system.

And those old nobles either have to change their thinking and embrace the new era, or become a stepping stone for Huidun's new policy reforms.

This is a world with extraordinary power, so the reforms required by rulers are often much simpler and more violent than in previous lives.

Huidun pondered for a while, then he called the village chief aside, revealed his identity to him, and told him the plan.

When the old man heard this, he instantly burst into tears.

How could he not know the name of Huidun City?

In fact, their village was able to survive thanks to Huidun City.

If it weren't for the booming business in Huidun City, there wouldn't be so many caravans coming and going.

Otherwise, given the situation this year, because of the previous beast tide, their entire village would have starved to death due to tax issues.

Seeing that the old man was about to kneel down again, Huidun pulled him back and said:

“No need to kneel. I am sorry for you. You are all warriors who have served the country. However, when you grow old, you not only have to bear heavy taxes, but the kingdom cannot provide any help to you warriors who defend the country.

As a prince and earl of the kingdom, I feel deeply ashamed of this."

Although it seems like a show, this is Huidun's true thought.

At this moment, he suddenly felt how low-level the so-called succession he had pursued before was. If it were not for these people guarding the kingdom, would these so-called princes still have the time and energy to fight for that position here?

Of course, this does not mean that Huidun has given up the idea of ​​seizing the throne. On the contrary, this has made Huidun more determined to seize the throne.

Because he wants to change all this, he needs absolute power, and absolute power in the kingdom can only be obtained by sitting in that position.

At this moment, Huidun, who had obtained spiritual sublimation, instantly swept away the so-called haze caused by the fight for the throne.

He had a greater goal in mind.

At this moment, Chen Cheng and Xiao Dun both looked at Hui Dun at the same time, because at this moment they both felt a unique aura from Hui Dun.

"Congratulations, Lord Earl. We have found a way to break through."

Chen Cheng also immediately expressed his congratulations.

Huidun calmed himself down and just smiled faintly. At this moment, his strength level was not important to him.

After he told the old man the detailed plan, he took out his identity token and handed it to the old man:

"We still have the king's order, so we can't stay here for long. You can take my token and send someone to Huidun City to find the governor. Tell him my plan and he will make arrangements for you."

Then Huidun called the unlucky stationmaster and said:

"This time we are the ones who implicated the post station. Huidun City will provide all the materials needed to rebuild the post station, and I will also provide a compensation.

I would like to ask the webmaster and a few brothers to keep this matter a secret for me today, after all, it is not a glorious thing. "

Looking at the vouchers Huidun took out, the stationmaster naturally knew that Huidun wanted to save the people in this village.

The stationmaster had lived here for many years and naturally knew the character of those noble lords. Seeing that Huidun had guaranteed to rebuild the post station, there was no need for him to hold on to this matter.

Seeing that the stationmaster agreed, Huidun then said to the old man:

"That's fine. Once the materials arrive, the village will help the stationmaster rebuild the post station. This will be your compensation to the post station."

When the old man heard this, he naturally nodded in agreement.

When Huidun and the others were about to leave, the stationmaster said:

"My Lord Earl, your horses and carriages may not be stored at the post station. Since the people in this village are all laid off by the army, why not store the horses here?"

The webmaster's words also reminded Huidun, and the old man immediately agreed.

"Let the village take care of this. We just came back from the battlefield, and they are very good at taking care of war horses."

Huidun nodded and agreed.

When they returned to the inn, the fire had already been put out by the knights. However, because it was a wooden inn, nothing was left after the fire.

After arranging things here, Xiao Dun and others handed their beloved horses to the villagers. Then Chen Cheng blew a loud whistle, and soon there was a rustling sound in the woods.

Then Daha rushed out of the woods with his wolves.

The people in the village and the post station were all frightened when they saw the Swift Wolf Pack.

When they saw Huidun and others being so intimate with these Wind Wolves, they knew that these were the Wind Wolves that they had tamed.

After saying goodbye to them, Huidun and the others rode on the Wind Wolves and headed towards the royal capital.

Not long after Chen Cheng and his companions left, bad news came from a city not far away.

Several nobles were beheaded silently in their homes. This incident caused a sensation in the entire Western Territory. However, in the end, no clues were found and it became an unsolved case.

The people in the city were talking about how these nobles had committed many evil things and that was why they were getting their retribution.

The person who took action was naturally Sheli who was following Chen Cheng.

He felt Chen Cheng's murderous intent towards those guys, so he found those guys without hesitation and killed them.

As for whether any of those guys are innocent, Sheli doesn't care.

He came from the city of sin, but he didn't know what was good and evil. He only knew that he was Chen Cheng's shield and Chen Cheng's sword.

As Chen Cheng's knife, when Chen Cheng shows murderous intention towards his target, he will kill him without hesitation.

What followed was a series of raids that lasted for several days, and along the way Chen Cheng and his team encountered many dangers, such as migrating beasts and mountain bandits.

Chen Cheng and his companions also truly experienced the lives of ordinary villagers outside the kingdom's big city.

It can be said that only one in a hundred can live a good life, and most people are struggling on the line between life and death.

Having witnessed so many human tragedies, Huidun and Chen Cheng's hearts became even more determined.

On the tenth day, the group finally left the Western Province and arrived at the Central Province, and they were less than halfway to the royal capital.

After leaving the Western Border Province, Chen Cheng finally saw the population gap between the Western Border Province and other provinces.

After entering the Central Province, the population density has obviously increased, and cities with a population of millions are much more numerous than those seen in the Western Province.

Although the lives of ordinary people here are not as dire as those in the western provinces, they are not very good either.

However, the fact that they can have a life of adequate food and clothing is something that those people in the western provinces can only dream of.
