The princes attach great importance to profit, and they have always been unwilling to wait for no profit, and they have little respect for human kings. Lu Gui does not believe that the two vassal states of Shang and Xuan will suddenly change their nature for no reason.

after all……

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Zhao Liang smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Shang Kingdom and Xuan Kingdom really have something to ask for! Prime Minister of Shang Kingdom, I have prepared a lot of gifts for you, your Majesty. I hope you can let King Shang return to the country! As for Xuan Kingdom, because Han Jia, the eldest son of Xuanbohou, was accepted as a disciple by Chanjiao Daoxing Tianzun. He is far away from the mortal world and cannot inherit his title. He plans to make his concubine Han Ren his heir and hopes to obtain your consent! "

The tribute paid by the princes originated from Dayu.

However, none of his descendants have the prestige of Dayu, and the benevolence and strength that convince all the princes in the world.

Therefore, in recent years, the tributes paid by the princes have become more and more perfunctory!

"snort!"

Lu Gui heard this and sneered: "I know that these guys will only be so attentive when they need something from me!"

Then, he looked at Zhao Liang and asked, "By the way, is that guy Cheng Tang still unrepentant?"

"Tell Yi Yin that you can let me go back home. In the next five years, the tribute gifts will be tripled according to this year's standards!"

"As for Xuan Bohou..."

"I remember that when the late emperor was here, he even asked to marry the widow's sister, and he and the widow were considered relatives by marriage. Then Han Jia had to call the widow uncle!"

"And Han Ren, a bastard, is worthy of inheriting the title of Marquis Xuanbo?"

"Go tell Marquis Xuanbo that if you want me to agree to include Han Ren's name in the ancestral temple, you must show his sincerity!"

He didn't care how many little thoughts these princes had, but since the other party came to his door, he just took this opportunity to solve the problem of the empty treasury.

Xuanguo was just a small vassal state and could not produce much wealth.

However, in the past few years, under the governance of Yi Yin, the Shang Kingdom could be said to have become rich and powerful, with gold and jade accumulated, but it was just the right time to give it a bloodletting!

"No, Your Majesty!" Guan Longpang heard this and immediately objected: "Chengtang must not be released! The other party has already separated from the King because of the Min clan! And the King has kept him under house arrest for so long, so he must have a grudge. Once he is released back to his country, it will be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains!”

Lu Gui waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't dare to rebel even if I think of him! If Cheng Tang rebels, just use his head to warn the princes!"

Although Guan Longpang held the position of prime minister and was loyal to the Xia Dynasty, he often relied on his status as a third-generation veteran and often pointed fingers at Lu Gui, which made him very bored!

If not for his ability, Lu Gui would have wanted to replace him!

"Your Majesty!"

Zhonggu heard the words and wanted to say something, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Lu Gui.

"alright!"

"I have made up my mind, no need to persuade!"

Guan Longpang and Zhonggu had no choice but to bow and leave. They planned to go back and discuss with many courtiers first, and then speak to Lu Gui at the court meeting tomorrow.

After the two left, Xia Geng looked at Lu Gui and said cautiously: "Your Majesty! What the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable. Letting Chengtang return to the Shang Kingdom is a hidden danger after all!"

Xia Geng was loyal to Lu Gui, but he was not as flattering as Zhao Liang. He could still listen to some unpleasant but reasonable words.

"How could I not know?" Lu Gui said with a slight smile: "I just agreed to let Cheng Tang return to the country, but whether Cheng Tang... can return to the Shang Kingdom is another matter!"

"King?"

Xia Geng didn't understand its meaning.

Lu Gui sneered and immediately ordered: "Xia Qing, ask Shui Zheng, Huo Zheng, and Tao Zheng to go to the Ancestral Temple and ask for the three magic weapons left by the master of the army: Dragon Teeth, Tiger Wings, and Dog God. On his way back home, Tang secretly took action and brought Cheng Tang’s head back to me!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Xia Geng heard this, he immediately accepted the order.

However, Zhao Liang on the side was very puzzled and said: "Your Majesty! Chengtang is just a mortal, why do you need to ask Shuizheng and other worshipers to take action? You also need to bring Dragon Teeth and a few magical weapons. This is not for killing chickens." Bullshit?"

"Just follow my instructions!"

Lu Gui smiled, but did not explain the reason for doing so.

As a human king with cultivation, he had naturally noticed that outside Zhen'e, there was a Da Luo Jinxian monk who came with Yi Yin.

"Shangguo!"

After Xia Geng and Zhao Liang retreated, Lu Gui looked into the void outside the city and sneered: "First there was the Youmin clan, and then Chengtang. These practitioners have repeatedly interfered with the affairs of Jiuzhou. They really didn't treat me like this." The Human King... takes it seriously! But... now that you are here, you have to pay a price!"

Ordinary practitioners will be suppressed in their cultivation within Jiuzhou!

but……

Huo Zheng, Shui Zheng, and Tao Zheng are different!

They have the blood of the human race and are practitioners enshrined by the Xia Dynasty. They have the cultivation of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and will be blessed by the luck of the human race.

Because they were canonized by the King of Humans!

Moreover, due to being canonized by the King of Human Beings, these people within the territory of Kyushu will not only not be suppressed by the barrier in their cultivation, but they can also mobilize part of the power of the barrier.

Coupled with the three magical weapons of dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods... they are enough to damage Daluo Jinxian's body!

Kunlun Mountains.

As the ancestor of mountains and the home of gods, it has hidden mysteries. Since the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, it has been the first sacred mountain in the world. Countless practitioners have opened caves here.

The most famous ones are Yuanshi Tianzun who occupies East Kunlun and Queen Mother of the West who occupies West Kunlun.

but……

In addition to the two of them, there are many loose immortals and people with great supernatural powers who also live in seclusion here to practice.

Taoist Lu Ya is one of them!

At this moment, Taoist Lu Ya has great avenues flowing around him, and the universe is all within it, connecting endless time and space, and the avenue of cause and effect is running to deduce the supreme secret of heaven.

"What a bad fate!"

Suddenly, a ray of light shot out of his eyes, looking towards the land of Kyushu.

He said to himself: "In the past, I was caught in the great calamity of losing myself. If I hadn't borrowed your body, I might not have had a chance to come back!"

"This is the cause and effect of poor Taoism and owed to you!"

"Now that the corpses of your nine brothers have been desecrated as sacrifices, I will make that stupid and arrogant human king pay a heavy price!"

After saying that, he turned into a rainbow and fled straight towards the land of Kyushu.

On the other side, Yi Yin finally met Cheng Tang under the arrangement of Zhao Liang.

"Master Hou!"

As soon as they met, Yi Yin couldn't wait to salute Chengtang.

In his early years, he was just a slave of the You Xin family. If Cheng Tang hadn't discovered his talent, he might still be living a slave life that would be worse than death.

Therefore, he respected Chengtang very much and was willing to go through fire and water for him!

Upon seeing this, Chengtang hurriedly stepped forward, helped Yi Yin up, and said with a smile: "If you don't love me, you don't need to be polite! If it weren't for you, Shang would still be in chaos..."

Although he has been trapped in Hubei in the past few years, he is not completely ignorant of news from the outside world.

After all, Lu Gui only restricted his personal freedom, but did not cut off his access to information.

He knew that Yi Yin not only managed the Shang Kingdom in an orderly manner after he was trapped, but also kept running around, contacting those who could speak in front of Lu Gui, in order to rescue him from this prison.

"Master Hou!" Yi Yin choked with tears in her eyes: "This time, I am here just to take you back to the country! Please also ask the Lord Hou to return to the country with me! Whether it is the people of Shang State or many ministers, all day and night Talking about the benevolence of the Marquis! Now, I hope that the Marquis can return to the Shang Kingdom as soon as possible so that he can take charge of the overall situation! "

Immediately, Yi Yin told Chengtang about the current situation of the Shang Kingdom, and also described to him the conditions that Lu Gui... agreed to let him return to the Shang Kingdom this time.

"this……"

Hearing Lu Gui's request, Cheng Tang couldn't help but sigh and said: "In a country with a single king, hard work brings disaster! The people in this world are the ones who suffer!"

Lu Gui acted arbitrarily and demanded so much wealth from the Shang Kingdom in the next five years. He only wanted to punish Cheng Tang, but ignored the people at the bottom.

You eat and you are rich, the people are fat and the people are anointed.

Didn’t these tribute treasures come from the people paying taxes?

Therefore, Chengtang felt very guilty!

Yi Yin quickly said with relief: "The temporary gains and losses are nothing! As long as the king can return to the Shang Kingdom, all this will be worth it!"

"That said, but..." Cheng Tang hesitated, and after a long time, he finally said, "Lu Gui, I'm afraid you won't let me return home easily!"

A king is true to his word and should follow the law, but Chengtang knew that although Lu Gui was arrogant and cruel and unjust, he was definitely not a fool!

Breaking one's word is something that others can't do, but Lu Gui can't do it!

This road back home is destined to be bumpy and bumpy, not smooth!
