Ten days later, in the Great Jin Kingdom! Above the court hall!
The atmosphere in the court was very depressing, and the ministers all looked at the emperor on the throne without saying a word.
In the middle of the two rows of courtiers, a yellow-robed official was reporting with an ugly face.
"Your Majesty, the Chen Kingdom has completely pledged its allegiance to Gufu. The whole country pays homage to the government. Now Gao Xianzhi is leading Chen's army. No, it should be called Gufu's army to enter the borders of our Jin Kingdom. This time he is coming with great force, and he is targeting the four countries at the same time.
, there has been a brief battle on the front line, and the report of defeat came!" the yellow-robed official said with an ugly expression.
"Great Chen Kingdom? Did Chen Liangyi surrender to Gu Hai just like that? Didn't he resist at all?" King Jin said with an ugly expression.
"No, I don't know how Gu Hai promised him. Chen Liangyi cooperated fully. Gu Hai seemed to have been preparing for a long time. Officials changed very frequently. Many Chen Guo officials seemed to have been arranged by Gu Hai long ago!" the yellow-robed official looked like
Complex way.
"There's no resistance?"
"Yes, there were a few city lords who were unwilling to surrender to the ancient government and revolted, but they were quickly suppressed. Immortals participated in the bloody purge. There were still many dissatisfied voices within the Chen Kingdom, but they were quickly digested. Generally speaking,
The direction has been reversed, Chen State no longer exists, and it will return to its ancient mansion from now on!" the yellow-robed official said respectfully.
"The people didn't rebound?"
"Few, very few, very few. Gufu is the richest man in the six countries, but he has accumulated a lot of good reputation in the past few decades and has a very good reputation among the people. A year ago, Chen Guogang experienced great turmoil, and the people's hearts were floating.
The recognition is greater than that of the royal family of the Chen Kingdom, so the handover is very smooth among the people!" the yellow-robed official said bitterly.
"Gu Hai, you have such great ambitions. Do you want to unify the five countries with the power of one government?" King Jin looked gloomy.
"Your Majesty, although the Gu family is just one palace, its influence is greater than that of any other country. Take our country as an example. In the business world, the Gu family industry has always been the leader in the business world! It is a business kingdom, the sixth country hidden among the five countries.
, It’s just that it’s always been known as the mansion!” the yellow-robed official said with a wry smile.
"The most important thing is that Gu Hai has now entered the world of cultivation and has three thousand immortals under his command. Our mortal army, I'm afraid...!" the yellow-robed official said with an ugly expression.
"Gu Hai is going against the grain, and he won't be able to stay for long. Humph, he has three thousand immortals. Behind our Kingdom of Jin there is the Immortal Sect Dinglong Sect. Behind other countries there are also Song Jia Sect and Qinghe Sect. Gu Hai has angered all the immortal sects very much.
He will soon be destroyed!" King Jin said coldly.
"Report! The third prince wants to see you!" An anxious voice came from outside the hall.
"Oh? The third prince? The third prince who became a disciple of Dinglong Sect and cultivated immortality is back?" The ministers suddenly burst into joy.
"Xuan!" King Jin shouted loudly.
Soon, a group of guards carried a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a rather embarrassed man in red. There were bloodstains on his legs, scars all over his body, and his hair was disheveled.
"Third Prince?" Everyone looked at the prince in red in surprise. Why was he carried back?
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" King Jin's expression changed and he stood up from the dragon chair.
Although the third prince is not the prince, in the eyes of the King of Gold, he is more important than the prince, because his development will be higher than his own in the future, and he can cultivate to become an immortal. Although he is the emperor, his lifespan is limited, and he will be just a few decades later.
How can a piece of loess compare to an immortal?
"Father, as soon as I came back, I heard about the battle report from the front line. I didn't dare to stay, so I came right away!" The third prince said with a bitter smile.
"What's going on? Who hurt you like this? Aren't you in the Dinglong Sect?" King Jin said in surprise.
"Ding Longzong? Oh, there is no more!" the third prince said bitterly.
"No more? What do you mean? Why are there no more thousands of disciples of your Ding Long Sect?" King Jin asked in surprise.
"Gu Hai went to the Dinglong Sect. Almost everyone in the Dinglong Sect, including the sect leader, died, and only a few dozen survived at most. The child was lucky enough to escape with his life!" the third prince said bitterly.
"What?" the officials suddenly exclaimed.
"Gu Hai? How is it possible? Didn't he just cultivate to immortality? How could he be an enemy of your Dinglong Sect?" King Jin said in surprise.
"What's the point of being an enemy of my Ding Long Sect? Father, you don't know, right? When Gu Hai returned this time, he first destroyed the Dafeng Gang, then the Qinghe Sect, then the Song Jia Sect, and not long ago he destroyed my Ding Long Sect!" The third prince
Bitterly.
Ministers: “………………!”
King Jin: “………………!”
The four major immortal sects were destroyed one after another? There was a dead silence in the main hall.
"Impossible, is Gu Hai that powerful? Wasn't he just in the Xiantian realm? Just now?" King Jin looked in disbelief.
"I heard that the disciples of Song Jia Zong died the most miserably. Gu Hai slaughtered more than 5,000 Song Jia Zong disciples by himself!" the third prince said bitterly.
King Jin: “………………!”
Ministers: “………………!”
The hall fell into a dead silence again.
"Report!" A messenger rushed into the hall.
"Your Majesty, news has come from Bianjin City. Bianjin City has been lost and has been defeated by Gao Xianzhi's army!" The messenger knelt down to report.
Ministers: "……………………!"
King Jin: “……………………!”
Dafeng Gang? Qinghe Sect? Song Jia Sect? Dinglong Sect? Four Immortal Sects?
Gu Hai was slaughtered one after another? No wonder he wanted to dominate the world? No wonder he dared to dominate the world? The backing behind the Kingdom of Jin was also destroyed?
"Gu Hai, Gu Hai!" King Jin looked gloomy and clenched his fists. For a moment, he seemed to be unable to resist.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!" Drums sounded from outside the hall.
"What's going on?" King Jin looked outside the palace.
Soon a guard rushed into the main hall: "To report to the Emperor, Tang Chu, the head of the Gufu Chamber of Commerce, asked to see the Emperor, but was stopped, so he beat the 'Zhentian Drum' and asked to see the Emperor!"
"Zhentian Drum? Only those who have great grievances among the people will beat the "Zhentian Drum" heard by the gods. No matter what the grievance is, those who beat the Zhentian Drum must have a staff of eighty to show the power of the dragon.
If you accept the people's grievances as appropriate, the big boss of the ancient mansion actually goes to beat the shaking drum?" The third prince asked in surprise.
At this time, no one would ask whether the staff should be eighty.
"Pass!" King Jin said in a deep voice.
"No, Minister of Rites, go and greet the messenger!" King Jin immediately said.
"Yes!" An official immediately exited the hall.
In the main hall, the atmosphere became depressing.
The third prince was carried to the side, and his expression was extremely complicated at this moment.
Not long after, the Minister of Rites attracted an old man with white hair. Although the old man had white hair, he was in good spirits and had extremely sharp eyes. He was followed by two men in black robes, as if they were always protecting him.
"Shopkeeper Tang, please!" the Minister of Rites said very politely.
Shopkeeper Tang smiled slightly, and there was a feeling of elation in his eyes. In the past, when he was in charge of the business of the ancient mansion in the Kingdom of Jin, he saw many people's cold looks. All the ministers here used to look down on him. Except for liking his own money, they generally looked down upon him.
Above the top.
Nowadays, the country is changing, and suddenly the identity is about to change. How can Shopkeeper Tang be in a bad mood at this moment?
Entering the main hall, Shopkeeper Tang did not pay homage to King Jin first, but instead looked at the two black-robed guards behind him.
"Thank you both for protecting me all the way!" Shopkeeper Tang said with a slight salute.
"Shopkeeper Tang, we are here under the order of the minister. You don't have to worry about us, just do your thing!" One of the men in black robes said solemnly.
Shopkeeper Tang nodded.
Only now did the ministers notice the two guards of Shopkeeper Tang. Are these two of the three thousand immortals under Gu Hai?
Using immortals to protect mortals? The officials didn't understand for a while, and then they were shocked, because from this scene, Gu Hai's determination could be seen.
"Tang Chu, the great shopkeeper of the ancient mansion in the Kingdom of Jin, has met the Emperor of Jin!" Tang Chu said with a slight salute.
Shopkeeper Tang used the word "seen" instead of "visited", which obviously meant that he had placed his identity as an envoy of a country, rather than a humble citizen of the Jin Kingdom.
"Shopkeeper Tang? Are you here on behalf of Guhai?" King Jin said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's my master!" Shopkeeper Tang said with a smile.
"Your ancient mansion invades my border, but you still have the guts to break into my court?" King Jin said coldly.
Tang Chu was not afraid of King Jin's imperial power, but instead smiled slightly.
Tang Chu is the big shopkeeper in charge of the Jin Kingdom's business. He also employs countless people and has his own majesty. Moreover, once he takes over the Jin Kingdom, he is likely to be the big boss here. His status may soon replace the emperor in front of him, and he still has
What is there to be afraid of?
"King Jin, I don't want to argue with you this time. There's nothing to argue with. The third prince is here. I think he has already said what he needs to say!" Shopkeeper Tang said with a smile.
King Jin looked at Shopkeeper Tang coldly.
"King Jin, ministers, you don't have to look at me like this, my ancient mansion doesn't owe you anything, but you owe me countless amounts!
Here, from King Jin to all the ministers, you have never taken money from my ancient mansion?" Shopkeeper Tang sneered.
"Huh?" The ministers frowned and looked at Shopkeeper Tang.
"Don't think that your Jin Kingdom's regime is so stable. In the past few decades, there have been five floods and six severe droughts in the Jin Kingdom, each time accompanied by a major plague. The national treasury was empty. Who helped the victims without causing turmoil? It was my ancient mansion.
! Without my ancient mansion, your Jin country would have been in chaos long ago. Do you rely solely on the Immortal Dinglong Sect? Have they ever taken care of you?" Shopkeeper Tang said with a smile.
"This year, there is a severe drought in the Kingdom of Jin. Thousands of miles of fertile fields have yielded no harvest. If our ancient government no longer provides relief, how much food can your treasury store? The people have nothing to eat. It is inevitable that they will rise up and overthrow your regime!" Shopkeeper Tang said solemnly.
.
"Shopkeeper Tang, what do you want to say?" King Jin said coldly.
"This time, on behalf of my master, I will send a surrender letter to the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin. I hope you can think carefully about yourselves and cherish this opportunity to avoid ruin!" Shopkeeper Tang handed over a silk cloth scroll.
"A letter of surrender?" King Jin's eyes widened.
The ministers were in an uproar and immediately scolded each other angrily. They wished they could eat Tang Chu alive.
"The letter of surrender is given to you. Whether you surrender or not is entirely up to you. It's just a matter of time. Whether the people will suffer or not will make a difference in your fate! By the way, the neighboring country 'Cai Guo' has already accepted the surrender!" Tang
Chu handed over the surrender letter and took a step back.
"Emperor Dajin, my lords, I have to take my leave first. You can discuss it among yourselves. When you think about it, you can inform me. I will live in the Gufu Restaurant outside the palace!" Tang Chu said with a slight smile.
After saying that, Tang Chu turned around and walked out of the hall, followed closely by two black-robed guards.
The Emperor Jin's chest rose and fell as he suppressed his anger. The ministers cursed angrily, but some of them were thoughtful, with a strange color flashing in their eyes.
