one's door

Five years... This time is definitely enough to fight a national war.

But Yang Sheng didn't immediately reply to Haoyue Yaoguo's news, but consciously procrastinated.But it's not to delay this matter, but to allow more time for the mooting that is in full swing in Xiyuan County.

It has been three months since Yang Sheng ordered the detailed investigation of Xiyuan County.In the past three months, news about Xiyuan County has been fed back.Because it needs to be timely, they all use the flying feathers to transmit. Although there are many scattered messages, the messages will not be delayed or missed.It's just that Feiyu is very expensive, half of the Feiyu in the Ministry of War is now used on the line from Xiyuan County to Yuanding Imperial City.

But at the news level, so far, all the existing written historical records of Xiyuan County, including the investigation of local chronicles, have been completed, and there is nothing in it that can be used as the content related to the Yaozu's motive this time.

Then, the staff of the Ministry of Industry will conduct a geographical survey of Xiyuan County, especially the northeast area of ​​Xiyuan County, looking for some special places that may have clues.This time, some news came, but in the end it was proved that it was either a natural strange place, or the fixed or moving dead road of the spirit race.

Instead, it turned out the Spirit Race.But it still didn't work.

What about those natural differences between heaven and earth?Could it be the target of Haoyue Demon Kingdom?After all, this kind of alien place is often accompanied by special breeding objects, gems, spiritual springs, exotic vegetation and the like.And Yang Sheng delayed the time to let the people from the Ministry of Industry to carefully investigate the specific results of the few natural places found in the northeast of Xiyuan County.

But Yang Sheng was doomed to be disappointed.If it was so easy to find and find out, it would be impossible for Haoyue Yaoguo to put his purpose in Xiyuan County on the table so "sharply", otherwise, wouldn't he take the initiative to hand over the handle to Nanyuan Kingdom?

It dragged on for half a month, but Yang Sheng was alright, Haoyue Yaoguo was really in a hurry, and urged the government office of the Ministry of War several times to ask for the emperor's reply.He blocked it back, but the high priest of Haoyue Yao Kingdom seemed to be furious again and couldn't hold it back.

"Reply to them. Just say that tonight I will host a banquet in the palace to entertain them." Yang Sheng put down the Feiyu note that he sent just now, and the content in it made him suppress the idea of ​​"understanding the purpose of the monster race in advance". down.The rest can only be discussed with Yaozu.There's no point in procrastinating.

Yang Sheng didn't meet the people from Haoyue Yaoguo in Qinzheng Hall, but chose Fenghuo Hall.This place is usually not a place for discussion, and the area and style are not arranged in terms of "magnificence" or "practicability".It is appropriate to say that the Hall of Beacon Fire should be a place lined up with a warning meaning.Standing not far from the Hall of Qinzheng, you can see it with your head tilted. It is also a reminder and warning to the emperor and the officials of the previous dynasty.

"Zakhalon, your Haoyue Demon Kingdom burned and killed countless people in Xiyuan County, and looted countless people. A large part of this Beacon Hall is set up to commemorate the warriors who died in the battle with you."

Yang Sheng had never seen the Yaozu before, but the ferocious appearance of the Yaozu did not scare him at all.As the emperor of a country like Nanyuan Kingdom, he does not lack "bloodiness" every day, and is always preparing for the word "spell".

Even the place where he arranged to meet people from the Haoyue Demon Kingdom was set up in the Beacon Hall, in order to vent part of the suppressed anger in his heart.It's rare to meet the rightful owner, so how can you miss it?

The tiger-headed demon old man Zaharon twitched his lips, probably smiling, and the white beard on the corner of his mouth fluctuated a few times.

"Your Majesty, do you know what my name Zaharon means in Tiger Clan slang?" Without waiting for Yang Sheng to express, Zaharon asked and answered without stopping: "It means slaughter. This name Not only are there many duplicate names in the Tiger Clan, but there are also many in other ethnic groups, which shows that they are very popular among the Yao Clan. Therefore, in order to distinguish individuals, we usually add the clan as a prefix to the name.

So Your Majesty, I don't intend to offend, but although the warriors of your country you mentioned are worthy of admiration, their sacrifices are also the achievements of the monster clan. The slaughter is for the prosperity of the clan. The more slaughter, the more prosperous the clan will be, and the glory will be added. body.

If he hadn't thought about the feelings of your country, Zaharon should say thank you to His Majesty at this time.It was unexpected that Haoyue's achievements would be so remembered in Nanyuan. "

This half-smile tone caused Yang Sheng's chest to rise and fall sharply, and the guards and people in the military department's office beside him glared even more, and half of the horizontal knife at his waist was pulled out.As long as Yang Sheng speaks, they are confident that they can chop this arrogant and shameless monster into pieces in the palace.

But Yang Sheng waved his hand to stop the people around him.Slightly raised his head to look at the tall and strong but old-fashioned Zakharon, and suddenly laughed.

"Zahalon, the Haoyue Demon Kingdom sent you to Nanyuan Kingdom because your boss wanted to exhaust you to death on the road, right? It was because of your status as a tiger clan, as a high priest, and perhaps because of your status in the Haoyue Demon Kingdom. Guoli has a mature and prudent character, and I hope you will complete a very important and inevitably difficult task. Right?

Then the provocation you just made was your response to Haoyue Kingdom, which has so much trust and expectations in you?Or do you really think that Nanyuan Kingdom dare not fight a national war with you?Hehe, look at the warrior tablets around here, do you think Erlang of Nanyuan Kingdom will be afraid of you? "

Chapter 377 Dragon Tiger

A towering cliff among the mountains in the northwest of Changhu County seems to be conspicuous.But because there is no way to come here, and the mountains are dangerous, ordinary hunters seldom come here, let alone uninhabited.

But it is such a forgotten and hard-to-reach place, and miraculous changes are taking place in the past six months.

The funnel-shaped veins under the cliff have now formed two medium-sized spiritual veins and three small spiritual veins.They were self-assembled later, and they were sixteen tiny spiritual veins.

According to Zhang Yan's thinking, although no large-scale spiritual veins were found in Nanyuan Kingdom, and there were not many medium-sized spiritual veins, it was not difficult to find small spiritual veins, and the method of moving them was relatively easy. So he himself is more interested in the small spiritual veins, and it doesn't take too much trouble to move them back and plant them together and they will be able to gather together after a while.

So Zhang Yan felt that this was the mountain gate he was going to build after Huangtian Territory, and it was also the beginning of Taoist sect's real glory in Huangtian Territory. Bar?Even if one is not enough, two or three are not enough.

Anyway, all the spiritual veins in Huangtianyu are ownerless, as long as Zhang Yan thinks, no one will jump out to stop him.

Of course, Zhang Yan would not touch the spiritual veins in places like Yushan fruit trees that have produced exotic items on a large scale, which is one of the reasons why he prefers small spiritual veins.Try not to disturb the surroundings.

Of course, if there is a need to go directly to the place of the Yaozu in the future, the medium spirit vein can also be moved back at that time.He didn't have the kindness to help consider the matter of the Yaozu territory.

Moved four times before and after, the spiritual veins created made the newly promoted "spiritual mountain" of Duanya Mountain gradually change into a "spiritual mountain" in half a year.

The first is vegetation.

Many spiritual species in the world are not born naturally. After all, there are too few beautiful lands in Lingshan. Most of the spiritual species are formed on the Lingshan Mountains due to changes in spiritual energy from ordinary populations.

Take Yushan fruit as an example.In fact, in the town not far from Yubei Mountain, there are wild fruits that are similar in appearance and taste to Yushan fruit. The local people will pick some for themselves as snacks and sell them in the market during the slack season.But these fruits do not have the effect of Yushan fruit, and they don't even have a formal name.

The same is true in today's Cliff Mountain.

There is no shortage of all kinds of wild fruits in the Cliff Mountain, and now they are hanging in every corner, even if you dig through a bush, you can see a few small plants hanging on a few small plants that look pretty small.

But not all of these fruits can become spiritual fruits, and even if they become spiritual fruits, they may not be able to be eaten directly by people.Some of the fruits were already poisonous, and if they mutated into spiritual fruits, the poison would only become stronger.

But the obvious smell of spirit can be smelled from many wild fruits.

In addition to plants, there are also wild beasts of all sizes in the mountains.Animals know best about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, their instinct comes from this world, and they know best whether it is good or bad.As soon as the aura went up, there were more beasts in the mountains.From eating grass to eating meat, there are many that walk on the ground, swim in the water, and fly in the sky.The result of this is that the competition for territory is fierce.

Those who eat grass compete with those who eat grass, and those who eat meat compete with those who eat meat.They don't even know what they are fighting for, they just instinctively know that they must try their best to stay in this mountain.

So during this period of time, people on the mountain always have good luck.Rabbit today, snake soup tomorrow, and a stewed eagle the day after tomorrow...

The one who cooks is naturally Wang Nian, who claims to have a lot of picnic experience.When did brother Shitou beat him when he went up trees and down rivers to dig eggs and catch fish?After succeeding, don't they just set up an earthen stove on the spot and start the whole operation?

Moreover, although Wang Nian is not very old, his craftsmanship is really good.Especially after being tired from work, a bowl of soup or a bite of meat is really delicious.

Of course, picnicking was not Wang Nian's main task on the cliff mountain.Now he needs to take over the most arduous "strength work", manipulating hundreds of paper figurines, and carrying building materials one by one in the mountains.Anyway, every two days on the mountain, he could finish a small spirit stone.It was consumed much faster than when he was practicing in the quiet room.

I didn't see Yang Rui on the mountain, and I didn't come back in Yuanding Imperial City.In the meantime, I sent a letter, explaining the situation, and told Wang Nian and the others not to repair too quickly, and asked him to save some.

So now Liu Rui is the one who dumps wood and stone.

Liu Rui, who is like a porcelain doll, can only carve some fine and small pieces in a single appearance, but now she can cut a whole boulder the size of a house in less than the time of a cup of tea.The improvement in the middle cultivation level can be called terrifying.

The stone materials are now collected from places outside the cliff mountain, and then transported back by Zhang Yan with the skylark shuttle.Stone materials of more than ten square meters can be transported at one time, and even thirty square meters are not a problem if wood is transported.

However, the main building complex of Cliff Mountain has already begun.You are cultivating from the bottom up, and you start from a young age.

"Teacher, what is this?"

From the beginning, the construction of the cliff mountain was done by three disciples and two scholars from the School of Miscellaneous Studies.Zhang Yan let go and didn't care about it, and searched for the surrounding spiritual veins with all his heart.However, after a long stone ladder was rolled out from the foot of the mountain, Zhang Yan personally took part in the construction for the first time.

Not only the two disciples were curious, but also two pedants from the Academy of Miscellaneous Studies who were invited to sit in charge.They were all curious about what Zhang Yan did by himself.

Zhang Yan smiled and touched Liu Rui's head, but he didn't answer, only the mana surged on his body, and he saw a thin but odd-shaped building with cornices and columns slowly taking shape under Zhang Yan's spell changes.It is almost integrated, and there are not as many splicing details as pavilions.

"Is this...the door?"

After a stick of incense, there was an extra door on the stone steps entering the mountain, which seemed to be straddling the stone steps.

The two disciples watched the excitement, but the two pedants knew very well that the architectural style built by Zhang Yan and the main building complex were in the same style, as can be seen from the cornices.And this building should exist with symbolic meaning.

The door, stepping through the door is "home".That should be the meaning.

"Teacher, what is that?"

Liu Rui looked curiously at the "door" which was not very tall but gave a clear sense of boundaries.An animal is embossed on the left and right sides of the door.She recognized the one on the right as "tiger", but what was that on the left?Long body like a snake but with four legs, eagle claws, and fish tail?The head is like a horse but with horns... this...

"Little Mantou, this is the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right. Naturally, if it lands on this mountain gate, the dragon and the tiger will fight each other, so that their luck will rise to the sky!"

While speaking, Zhang Yan waved his hand, and the two vigorous characters landed on the blank space under the eaves directly above the stone gate.

Dragon Tiger!

Chapter 378 Choices

Everything you do requires trade-offs.Abandon playfulness to gain knowledge, abandon comfort to gain ability...

You can be born with nothing, but you can always fight for your own place with trade-offs.

Of course, different fates and different lucks require different choices.

Zhang Yan doesn't need to choose the size of the spiritual vein, he just needs to choose.Even on the way of practice, he is making choices, but has not really made a choice. This is because his background and luck are enough to support him to "have everything".

However, the position of the emperor Yang Sheng and the problems he encountered are not so simple, and Yang Sheng needs to constantly vacillate between the two words.

It has been two days since the face-to-face discussion between Haoyue Yaoguo and Yang Sheng.Yang Sheng still hadn't made a decision in his mind.

In fact, the request made by Haoyue Yao Country this time did not touch the bottom line of the human country like the previous one, and it was not the category of "must not agree".

But although there are changes, there are also extremely high risks for Nanyuan Nation.It comes from the inability to trust the monster race, and also from his own reputation in the human race country.

According to Haoyue Yao Nation's proposal, they can regularly enter Xiyuan County of Nanyuan Nation from the dark, and accept the accompanying soldiers of Nanyuan Nation.The number can also be limited, and the period is five years.

Even the strength of the soldiers of the monster clan who entered the territory of Nanyuan country can be restricted, and these monster clan can agree.And in contrast, the Yaozu promised that in the five years, the Yaozu will never attack any border of Nanyuan Kingdom again.In addition, it can also provide Nanyuan Kingdom with a certain amount of medicinal materials and other materials unique to the Yaozu territory.

Even the "vision" and "catastrophe" mentioned by the monster clan also bluntly said that they would do their best to help Nanyuan Nation resist.When asked how to share treasures or harvests, the Yaozu's statement was even more straightforward, "Those who see it have a share, and they can get as little as they can, and the Yaozu agrees."

This strategy hit Yang Sheng's head with a lot of weight.

There are good and bad, and there is a clear distinction between them.

If nothing else is said in five years, it is good news that Nanyuan Kingdom can get at least five years of rest and recuperation, which is almost unprecedented since the founding of the country.In the past, [-]% of Nanyuan Nation's border troubles were consumed by Haoyue Yao Nation.The financial, material and manpower wasted are incalculable.Once he can cultivate himself, Yang Sheng thinks that the national power of Nanyuan Kingdom will skyrocket by a large margin.Not to mention that there is a large amount of resources unique to the Yaozu that can be traded every year.

The price paid is almost non-existent, and more on the level of Nanyuan Nation's "reputation".And the possibility of the Yaozu that needs to beware of suddenly turning back and making insidious tricks.

If your reputation is bad, other human nations will stop playing with you. How can you develop if you have been alone for a long time?It is also very likely to become the target of a group attack.

Not only Yang Sheng was in a dilemma, but all the senior officials in Nanyuan Kingdom were facing the same dilemma.

However, this entanglement led Yang Sheng to find a solution inadvertently: his thirteen son Yang Rui.

To be precise, it should be Zhang Yan standing behind Yang Rui, who has become a point that Yang Sheng suddenly thought of to solve the current plight of Nanyuan Kingdom.

Yang Rui is also very anxious recently.It has been more than three months since he came to Yuanding Imperial City, and it has already passed the time he expected to be able to go back and forth in three months. Even if he leaves immediately to return to Langyuan, it will be more than a month longer than he expected .And now it looks like he won't be able to go for a while.

It is one thing to miss the practice atmosphere of Langyuan City, and another is to be anxious to go back to see the construction level of the mountain gate.In addition, Yang Rui was not happy at all in the palace.It's even painful to say the least.

What made Yang Rui feel uncomfortable in the palace were the imperial brothers, almost every day one or several imperial brothers came to him with various excuses.The chattering all mean the same thing: I treat you very well, I am your elder brother, will you stand by my side in the future?

Compared with Concubine Ming Ying who was very proud and happy about the fact that her son was being sought after by the princes, Yang Rui herself became more and more disgusted with this kind of thing.

They obviously don't like me and have never been nice to me, but now they want me to help them suppress the scene, these royal brothers are really too thick-skinned!Yang Rui thought so.

Regarding the word thick-skinned, Yang Rui always thought that it was only applicable to brother Shitou.Now it seems that compared to Brother Shitou, his imperial brothers are obviously too thick-skinned.

"I want to go back to the source city." Yang Rui passed such a sentence to his father.Then let Yang Sheng, who was still anxious about the Yaozu's affairs, shift his gaze to Yang Rui and found a possibility to solve the current trouble.

It is still in the small garden behind Qinzheng Hall.Yang Sheng saw his thirteen sons with a smile.

"I have seen my father!" Yang Rui got up after paying homage.

"I heard that you have been very unhappy in the palace recently?"

"...I'm just a little worried that I've been away from the teacher for too long and missed the content of the practice, so I'm a little anxious." Yang Rui didn't admit it.

But if Yang Sheng couldn't even grasp the situation in the palace, what kind of emperor would he be?But there are some things that he acquiesced to.So he smiled and said: "You are not happy in the palace, it's normal. Originally, the palace is not a place to live. This is the key point for managing the country. There are too many things that are not so soft. Naturally, it is incomparable. So free in Langyuan City.

Do the math, it's been a long time since you left Mr. Zhang's side, half a year has passed since you came and went.Time flies really fast too.When you came back, my birthday hadn't arrived yet, and the envoys from the demon country hadn't entered the country yet.Nowadays, there are so many disturbances, but they are changing again, which makes people tired!

Ugh……"

With a sigh, even the young Yang Rui could feel an extremely tired feeling from inside.

How did the little boy know that his father would play tricks in front of him?Even if he understands it, how can he be considered a figure like Yang Sheng who is in charge of a country?

So Yang Rui asked worriedly: "Father, is the monster clan going to make trouble again? It's really hateful! This time, my child will help the father to ask the teacher. If, if possible, let the teacher give me a little help." The means are for Nanyuan Kingdom to use!"

It wasn't until this moment that Yang Rui really made up his mind. He still couldn't watch his father's sad face all day long, and he couldn't watch the monster race wreak havoc.

However, Yang Sheng's main purpose at this time is not to seek the Dharma, he has other ideas.

"Hahaha, as expected, my son is still worried about the people of the world, and I don't want to see them suffer innocently! Don't worry, my son! If Mr. Zhang is willing to point out some methods, Nanyuan Kingdom will definitely not be stingy!

In addition, the bone-strengthening pill is specially refined for warriors, as you said, it is not very useful for you cultivators, right? "

Chapter 379 Relying

This time Yang Rui went back even harder than last time, and felt more anxious than when he went.Secondly, he was more prepared this time. Riding on a horse not only improved his riding skills a lot, but also relieved his fatigue with the Five Elements Water Technique. It can almost be called day and night.

Even after cooperating with the wind method in the five elements of wood, Yang Rui can lighten his body and stabilize his posture on the horse, and can sleep while riding a horse.He had mixed feelings about the knights walking beside him, and felt that a lot of common sense could not be applied to His Royal Highness.

It is also unprecedented to be able to ride a long-distance gallop in such a relaxed manner.

On the tenth day, he hardly had any rest. He changed horses as soon as he arrived at the post station, and he rode with two riders. Finally, he rushed back to Langyuan City in the shortest possible time.It's not Yang Rui who can't carry this journey, but those guards. Although they can endure a long ride, they can't sleep while riding a horse like Yang Rui. The sallow yellow of the smoke and dust along the way is the paleness of fatigue.

In such a hurry, Yang Rui was frightened by his father.After some analysis, in Yang Rui's eyes, Nanyuan Kingdom is now on a single-plank bridge with abyss on the left and right sides, and a little carelessness will lead to a situation of eternal doom.According to his father, the only way to solve the problem is his teacher Zhang Yan.

The matter was urgent, so Yang Rui didn't dare to delay.

Seeing the dusty Yang Rui, Wang Lanping at home was still very surprised, because Zhang Yan told her that Yang Rui might stay in the imperial city for a while, at least a month before returning.

"Ouch! This little face is dirty, go and wash it, I'll ask someone to boil some hot water for you."

Wang Lanping knew that Yang Rui was the prince, but the old lady was used to this little baby now, she was so innocent that she couldn't see any difference from the neighbor's baby on the street.And now taking care of grandson Zhang Zhiyun makes Wang Lanping especially pleasing to the eyes of all children under the age of 12, and she is happy to see who is well-behaved.

"Old lady, I'll wash it later, where is my teacher?"

"Hey, you baby, I will find your teacher when I come back. Go out, I have been out for several days with a small stone and a small steamed bun, should I go to repair some mountain gate again? You, hurry up and take a bath, after washing I I'll cook something delicious for you, maybe your teacher and the others will come back tomorrow!"

Yang Rui's face was full of helplessness, and he could only be dragged by Wang Lanping to the water room for washing.
