Douluo, Adventure in a Parallel World

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Dai Shentong rushed into the White Tiger Guards and blew himself up just before he died. He had a gorgeous life blossom, and without Dai Shentong's command, the Anqing City Fortress collapsed instantly.

The elders of the Wuhun Republic did not stop after the city was breached, but continued to use their soul skills to release them on the walls, fortresses and underground command posts of Anqing City. Dai Tianfeng was heartbroken when he saw all this, but he was powerless to stop it.

"I will definitely remember this account! Wuhun Republic, you will never have a peaceful life as long as I am around!" Dai Tianfeng said angrily.

Finally, the civil unrest in Anqing City that lasted for three months ended, and the Xingluo Empire won the final victory, but the price was also extremely heavy.

The ruins of Anqing City can be clearly seen from space. Just like an abandoned mine, there is no trace of human existence. As for the blood disaster beasts, most of them were shot to death by Guangling Douluo's Guangling Divine Bow, but...

After completing the mission, Guangling Douluo and his companions have already returned home. Dai Tianfeng wanted to stop them but he was unable to do so. After resolving the civil strife in Anqing City, Dai Tianfeng still had a lot of things to deal with and could not spare any extra energy. His adopted son and adopted daughter-in-law were seriously injured and were lying in the infirmary, which also made him very worried.

The Duke of Netherworld in Xingluo City also dispatched troops to cooperate with Emperor Dai Tianfeng to start cleaning up the battlefield and deal with the follow-up of the Anqing City incident.

In order to consolidate his throne, Dai Tianfeng unprecedentedly promulgated several policies that benefited the people and the country, reduced the use of force, and gave the people of the Xingluo Empire some breathing space.

Inside the Papal Palace.

"Dai Tianfeng, you used the gecko tail-breaking trick very well, but you can't avoid it even if you try it once. Let's wait and see."

Qian Renxue looked at the news that came back and said calmly that she was actually quite satisfied with the results of this battle.

A super military fortress like Anqing City will probably not be rebuilt, at least in the short term.

Although the Star Luo Empire was not completely destabilized this time, the civil strife in Anqing City would undoubtedly weaken the strength of the Star Luo Empire. At least according to the news that he had received, more than half of his White Tiger Guards had been killed. These troops were the elite of the Star Luo Empire, and could even be compared with the soul master corps in Wuhun City.

Bibi Dong, who was working in the Sun-Moon Empire, knew about this and secretly praised her daughter in her heart. The layout made by the new Pope Qian Renxue made Bibi Dong's thoughts drift to her past life. In her past life, her daughter was an expert in playing power games. She didn't expect that her daughter in this life was also such a master, and was even more ruthless and cruel than herself.

The people who returned did not spread what happened in the Xing Luo Empire, except for the fifth worshiper Guangling Douluo who chatted with his brothers in the worship hall.

Since they had completely offended the Xingluo Empire this time, Margaret and Reina ended their trip to the Xingluo Empire ahead of schedule and followed the large group back to the Wuhun Republic. After a period of rest, the sisters set out on their journey to the north again, and this time their destination was the Far North.

It lasted for five months from the time Lena discovered the problem with the Anqing City military fortress to the time fewer people in the Xingluo Empire talked about it.

God knows how Dai Tianfeng, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing survived these five months. As for the people Qian Renxue had sent to contact Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, they brought back some not-so-good news - Davis and Zhu Zhuyun had committed suicide. Therefore, Qian Renxue's plan to use these two people as secret pawns of the Xing Luo Empire was no longer possible.

After dealing with the civil unrest in Anqing City, Dai Tianfeng could not bear it anymore and unilaterally announced the severance of all diplomatic relations with the Wuhun Republic. However, in Qian Renxue's view, these were all trivial matters. Severing diplomatic relations was undoubtedly a big blow to the feudal empire, and the Wuhun Republic could expand overseas trade to dilute the hidden dangers brought about by the severance of diplomatic relations with the Xingluo Empire. Dai Tianfeng had been blinded by hatred.

All the Spirit Temples and Sub-Temple distributed in the Xing Luo Empire returned to the country with the huge amount of wealth that the people of the Xing Luo Empire had deposited in the bank, which made Dai Tianfeng question his behavior again.

Dai Tianfeng originally planned to force him by force, but after Qian Daoliu learned the news, he gave a "kind" smile, and personally went to Xingluo City to find Dai Tianfeng and asked him to pay attention to his words and actions.

He instantly understood why Xue Tian did not dare to break off diplomatic relations with the Wuhun Republic even though such a big thing happened in the Tiandou Empire.

However, the king is not joking. Dai Tianfeng gritted his teeth and let the matter go. He thought that this was just to make the people suffer. He had no idea that his actions had caused an uproar in the country. Some wealthy businessmen and tycoons had deposited countless gold soul coins in the bank, which disappeared without a trace. The government didn't even intend to compensate them.

The money of the common people is still a small problem. Although the Xingluo Empire is an agricultural country, most of the fossil energy it needs is tied to the Wuhun Republic. With the current national strength of the Xingluo Empire, it is still somewhat difficult to mine fossil energy on a large scale.

The Star Luo Empire's unilateral severance of diplomatic relations also caused it to completely lose most of its energy supply.

Many old ministers in the court advised Dai Tianfeng not to fall into the dilemma of cutting off his arms, but Dai Tianfeng had made up his mind.

In addition to the energy problem, without the Wuhun branch hall, the problem of awakening Wuhun in the Xingluo Empire has become a difficult matter. The price offered by the Xingluo Empire is one silver soul coin per awakening, and later it rose to one gold soul coin. This made the people miserable.

After all, it is often said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Those who have been accustomed to awakening their martial spirits for free suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable when faced with the paid awakening; evil soul masters also began to cause chaos and wolf thieves also began to emerge.

……

In short, under Dai Tianfeng's unilateral diplomatic severance, which seemed extremely clever but was actually extremely stupid, the already declining Xingluo Empire was pushed downhill by Dai Tianfeng himself.

The three countries on Douluo Continent are originally interconnected. Dai Tianfeng's behavior is undoubtedly cutting off his own arms and closing the country to the outside world. Just like the Qing Dynasty of Blue Star China, it will inevitably lag behind the times and be beaten in the future.

However, Qian Renxue no longer cared about what would become of the Xingluo Empire. Her goal had been achieved. It was no big deal to break off diplomatic relations. As for those who were affected, Qian Renxue waved her hand and directly allocated some government subsidies to those people to enable the businessmen to temporarily solve the bankruptcy problem and let them find other ways out.

Since the mined energy cannot be resold to the Xingluo Empire, the Wuhun Republic has also adopted other plans, which is to expand more railways. Fossil fuels can continue to be used as the power of steam locomotives, and the domestic fuel costs can be further reduced, thereby reducing ticket prices and benefiting the people.

However, Qian Renxue still hoped that her mother could contact the Sun-Moon Continent as soon as possible. It would be great if they could conduct trade with the Sun-Moon Continent.

The severance of diplomatic relations lasted for three months, and the Xingluo Empire could no longer bear it. Dai Tianfeng's status in the hearts of the people of the Xingluo Empire took a sharp turn for the worse. Even the harsh literary inquisition could not suppress the sharp comments of literati on Dai Tianfeng. The people of Xingluo usually jumped up and down over trivial matters, causing headaches for the royal family. There were even several large-scale riots, demanding the restoration of diplomatic relations with the Wuhun Republic.

"This group of unruly people, I gave them food, I let them live, I kept them away from dire straits, but they rebelled against me! Kill them, don't spare a single one!" Dai Tianfeng roared hysterically and issued orders with a wave of his hand.

Seeing Dai Tianfeng like this, even the old ministers who cared most about the government affairs were unwilling to provide any suggestions to Dai Tianfeng anymore, because they knew in their hearts that they would die if they gave suggestions or not, so it would be better for them to shut up and not ask about the government affairs. Coupled with the influence of the literary inquisition, Dai Tianfeng almost had the final say in the court.

When Dai Tianfeng asked the ministers questions, the ministers were all hesitant and fawning, and dared not mention a word about the mistakes Dai Tianfeng had made. The relationship between the emperor and his ministers was deteriorating.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing also keenly sensed the crisis in the court, but as the crown prince and the crown princess, they had no right to interfere in the government. Dai Mubai once hinted to his father that the court had changed, but his father saw through Dai Mubai's mentality at a glance. He scolded Dai Mubai back, which made Dai Mubai shut up.

The Xingluo Empire seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, there were undercurrents. Qian Renxue left some secret agents to report the problems in secret when the relevant personnel of the Wuhun Republic withdrew. When she learned about this situation, Qian Renxue had nothing to say, and was even a little happy.

Let Dai Tianfeng, the biggest termite inside the Xing Luo Empire, gradually erode the former foundation of the Xing Luo Empire.

On the overseas continent, Bibi Dong also learned about this situation, but she told Qian Renxue not to pay too much attention to these things, because the Xing Luo Empire would not be able to hold on in the future.

As Bibi Dong had expected, the Xingluo Empire could no longer hold on in the later period: peasant uprisings continued, and some kingdoms and duchies even showed signs of independence.

Faced with this situation, Dai Tianfeng, who did not want to lose his ancestors' foundation, naturally led his White Tiger Guards to do their utmost to maintain the unity of the country and suppress the rebellion of the people.

Xue Tian couldn't bear it, so he discussed with Dai Tianfeng in private. After Dai Tianfeng sold out some of his domestic interests, he reached some kind of contract with Xue Tian.

In order to express his sincerity, Xue Tian sent an army of 200,000 people from the Xingluo Empire to the front line to help Dai Tianfeng solve his urgent problem.

Dai Tianfeng was really forced into a desperate situation, so he listened to the advice of court ministers and Xue Tian and restored diplomatic relations with the Wuhun Republic.

Dai Tianfeng personally visited the top leaders of the Wuhun Republic and met the stunningly beautiful Saint Qian Renxue and her majestic grandfather, the level 99 Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.

Dai Tianfeng knelt in the Pope's Palace and took out another confession of guilt, reading out his crimes, trying to get the Wuhun Republic to restore diplomatic relations with the Xingluo Empire.

After listening for a long time, Qian Renxue seemed a little impatient. She yawned, kicked off her shoes, lifted her feet and placed them on the negotiation table. Her little feet were perfect without any flaws, but in Dai Tianfeng's eyes, it was like Qian Renxue stepped on his face several times. (ps: Xiaoxue, why did you reward him?) Dai Tianfeng wanted to explode immediately, but thinking of the situation in China, he could only hold back.

"Your Majesty's request will be considered by our Wuhun Republic, but it was your Xingluo Empire that cut off diplomatic relations without consulting us, causing many people in our Wuhun Republic to suffer economic and other losses. Your Majesty, how will you compensate us?"

Qian Renxue naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity to make a big profit. If she didn't take this opportunity to make some money from Dai Tianfeng, she would not be able to vent her anger.

"This...or...or you should tell me."

Dai Tianfeng softened. Qian Daoliu saw through his little tricks clearly. Qian Daoliu immediately and accurately released the angel's pressure, which made Dai Tianfeng breathless.

Along with Qian Daoliu's pressure, the several great priests also showed up at the same time. The sudden change made Dai Tianfeng shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Well, how about this, Your Majesty? I see that the Xingluo Empire is in economic decline right now and is unable to provide cash compensation. Why not use the tariffs as collateral?" Qian Renxue said.

Dai Tianfeng knew he was in the wrong, so he had to grit his teeth and agree, and signed the first humiliating treaty at the negotiating table.

Since then, there has been no equal relationship between the Wuhun Republic and the Xingluo Empire in trade. The goods from the Xingluo Empire flowing into the Wuhun Republic maintain the same level of tariffs as before; but the goods from the Wuhun Republic entering the Xingluo Empire almost enjoy the unilateral benefit of zero tariffs.

This Xingluo Empire can be called the Qing Empire on Douluo Star! But what can be done? After all, this time it was Dai Tianfeng who begged the Wuhun Republic to establish diplomacy!

Dai Tianfeng was regretting so much at this moment that his intestines turned green. He should not have acted on impulse in the first place. Now, he ended up losing both his wife and his army.
