"Oh my God! His Majesty the King is planning to become brothers of different surnames with the direct disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha. Is this announcing to the world that our Kingdom of Shambhala will change its usual neutral national policy?!"

"Isn't this nonsense?! If that's not the case, we can just sworn brothers with different surnames in private. Why bother to mobilize troops like this?!"

"That's true. So, from now on, our Shambhala country will become a vassal country of the Buddhist lineage?!"

"Alas! After all, the entire Nanfangbu Continent is under the control of the Buddhist lineage. How can we, a mere small kingdom, have the right to choose a neutral route?!"

"That's right! Even the extremely powerful Tang Dynasty is trying every means to join the Buddhist camp. If our Shambhala Kingdom continues to remain neutral, I'm afraid something big will happen sooner or later!"

"Who says not?! Just like the bandits in the Demon Mountain of Shiwangling on the northeastern border. Without the intervention of external forces, how could they do whatever they want in the Shambhala Kingdom?!"

"On the day when our new king ascends the throne, there are so many powerful and powerful Buddhists who come here to show their respect. If there is no secret agreement behind this, I will not believe it to my death!"

"Hmm! This incident must have been the result of a consensus reached by the top brass of the royal family. It is precisely because of this that no one is allowed to hinder or interfere, so His Majesty the King will mercilessly hit his brother Helian Han in public! "

"Haha! That's a fool who was dazzled by failure. Since ancient times, losers who have replaced the throne should put their tail between their legs and behave honestly, instead of recklessly provoking the king's authority in public like him!"

"It's just that when the new king came to the throne, he promoted him to prince regardless of previous suspicions. He is still not satisfied and is still dreaming about the throne that no longer belongs to him?! Tsk, tsk, he really doesn't know how to live or die!"

"..."

After King Helianhao announced that he and Du Long would be sworn brothers with different surnames in public, countless subjects at the scene immediately started talking quietly below. There was still no shortage of discerning people in the crowd, and their guesses were basically not far from the truth. !

So, with Du Long's consent, King Helianhao of Shambhala and Buddhist disciple Du Long sworn sworn brothers with different surnames in public. It can be seen from Helianhao's quick request to put out the altar sacrifices required for the sworn vows. Come out, this matter is not a whim, he must have planned everything in advance!

Then, under the leadership of King Helianhao, a group of people, surrounded by civil and military officials, flew back to the palace in a mighty manner. A celebration banquet had already been arranged in the Shambhala Palace, and naturally there was another lively palace banquet. Got it!

From the beginning to the end, Du Long did not say an inappropriate word. He cooperated with King Helianhao throughout the whole process, playing all the roles that a good brother should play, until the banquet at the palace was over!

In the royal study room of Shambhala Palace, there are only three figures sitting at the moment, namely King Helianhao, Du Long and Jinshan!

"Brother!" He Lianhao said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't notify you in advance about my sworn sworn relationship with you this time. Second brother, I seem to be a bit like rushing a duck into battle!"

"Haha!" Du Long said with a chuckle: "It's a bit strange for brothers to say this, but brothers, I still want to understand the true situation of the whole thing, rather than the big things that the second brother said when facing the people. reason!"

"Yes!" He Lianhao smiled and nodded: "First of all, our Shambhala Kingdom has decided to follow the general trend of Nanfangbuzhou and join the Buddhist lineage. This matter has been discussed and confirmed by the elders of the royal family! Secondly, before When the second brother ascended the throne, the two Bodhisattvas Avalokitesvara and Lipoduo came to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Buddhist lineage of Mount Xumi. During this period, they had already reached a unanimous decision with our family of the Shambhala Kingdom, that is, the Shambhala Kingdom would officially join the Buddhist lineage. !”

"That's it!" Du Long nodded slightly and said: "Nanbu Continent is a continent under the control of the Buddhist lineage. As Shambhala is a kingdom within Nanfan Continent, it is unreasonable to want to truly remain neutral! "

"That's right!" Helianhao saw that Du Long didn't mean to be angry, and immediately nodded excitedly: "Second brother had previously made a rough decision with the two Bodhisattvas Guan Zizai and Li Poduo, that is, the Kingdom of Shambhala would not He will express his attitude in public to join the Buddhist lineage, but he will use the fact that we are sworn brothers with different surnames to indirectly express his attitude to all forces!"

Du Long nodded in understanding: "Yeah! That's right! Before, in front of countless subjects outside the east gate, you demoted him several levels in a row, and finally you personally destroyed his cultivation and even killed others. Exiling him to the Ninggu Temple in the northwest border to become a monk, aren't you afraid that this will bring trouble to you?! After all, the second brother has just ascended the throne not long ago!"

"What are you afraid of?!" He Lianhao waved his hand disdainfully and said: "You also know that on the surface, the Shambhala Kingdom seems to be trying its best to maintain a neutral policy, but brother, you have also seen that my third brother He Lianhan has a close relationship with the God Killing Society, and I have a sworn relationship with you. To be honest, how can it be so easy for a kingdom to implement a truly neutral policy?!"

"Furthermore, before I ascended the throne, my father secretly asked me if I wanted to exile the boy. At that time, the second brother not only did not do so out of brotherly love, but also gave him the status of a prince. I once thought that not only was he ungrateful but he was repaying kindness with evil! If that's the case, then why should I care about brotherly love anymore?!"

Du Long was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the old king had expected this result early on, and even asked his second brother to take action to exile the third prince. In this way, he was really worrying too much!

"Haha!" He Lianhao said with a hearty smile: "Brother, don't think too much! That boy shouldn't have done anything to destroy the alliance between Shambhala and the Buddhist lineage. He is already considered the top official of the entire Shambhala royal family. We made a unanimous decision, how can we allow him, a mere Hunyuan-level prince, to wreak havoc?! It’s already considered a good thing that I can spare his life in public today!”

"Okay! Let's stop this matter. It is said that when my second brother ascended the throne, my brother and I were in retreat at Mount Xumi, so I couldn't come to watch the ceremony and congratulate me. I can only say I'm sorry to my second brother here!" Du Long changed the topic and spoke apologetically.

"Haha!" Helianhao laughed loudly and said, "Brother, it's good if you are willing. If it weren't for the enthronement ceremony being nothing more than a child's play, I really wanted to wait until you came out of seclusion before ascending the throne as king!"

"Haha! Second brother Lian Hao really meant this at the beginning! But he was scolded by the old king, so he had to obey the royal family's arrangements and ascend the throne as the King of Shambhala according to the chosen auspicious day!" Jinshan finally took the opportunity to interject with a smile.

In this regard, Du Long could only smile with gratitude. The second brother had struggled all his life. Seeing that the throne was right in front of him, he still wanted to postpone his accession to the throne for the sake of a good brother. This feeling alone was enough. Prove everything!

As the brothers explained all the hidden secrets to each other, the three of them chatted for a long time in the heavily guarded imperial study room, mostly talking about their various experiences since they had been separated for tens of thousands of years.

In the meantime, Jinshan was full of praise for Su Jinbao, Du Long's best friend since he was a child, saying that that boy's talent in business was really beyond question.

Since Su Jinbao took over the business of Shenjie Bank in the Tang Dynasty, with the introduction of various policies, the business share of Shenjie Bank in the Datang Kingdom has increased several times!

In short, the business volume of Shenjie Bank in the Datang Kingdom has surpassed that of other major banks in one fell swoop, becoming the largest bank in the Datang Kingdom!

Su Jinbao didn't seem to be satisfied with these achievements. He also used the dividends he received from the God Realm Bank to start various businesses in the Tang Dynasty. Tens of thousands of years have passed. How many industries does this kid have now? It’s hard to figure it out!

After hearing the news, Du Long felt very comforted in his heart. He felt that it was the wisest decision for him to place his family and friends in the capital of Tang Dynasty. At least they no longer have to follow him in fear all day long, never knowing when. You will be implicated by yourself and encounter misfortune!

In short, under the deliberate protection of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, I believe that all relatives and friends will be able to find a path that suits them. Even if they unfortunately die in the future, they will be able to survive well in the God Realm!

"Well... I guess through this mission of subduing demons in Demon Mountain, brother, you must have discovered that there is an extremely mysterious force hidden behind those thieves, right?!" After chatting for a long time, He Lianhao finally brought up the topic again Get back on track.

"Yeah!" Du Long nodded directly and said: "Not only this mission on Demon Mountain, but also a similar situation occurred in Moyel Ridge of the Monk Kingdom not long ago. There was always a mysterious person operating behind the scenes, causing certain After their forces continued to grow, they began to kill the elite disciples of our major forces!"

"That's right!" He Lianhao said with a solemn face: "In our Shambhala Kingdom, the situation in the Demon Mountain area of ​​the Lion King Ridge is actually just the tip of the iceberg. No matter how chaotic it is there, it is at least not as powerful as the Emperor of Heaven. The one who appeared, however..."

"Is it possible... The second brother wants to say that there are many similar forces in the territory of Xiangmala Kingdom that are growing with the support of those mysterious people, and there are also strong people with similar strength in the Heavenly Emperor realm participating in them?!" Du Long took over the conversation in surprise.

"Yes! It is precisely because of this that our Shambhala Kingdom has to consider suspending the neutrality policy that it has insisted on for a long time. Although the neutrality policy will bring a lot of economic benefits, it also loses a strong backer. In the end Aren't you going to let the mermaid be eaten and lose any power to resist?!" He Lianhao said with emotion.

At this point, Du Long finally understood why the Kingdom of Shambhala suddenly changed its usual national policy. Compared with this kind of force without a powerful deity in charge, if he did not join any major force, he would have to wait for death!
