Chapter 612: Protecting the Country and Worshiping the Country
After Yao Yun took over Guanling City, clan elders such as Wuma and Miao Lao left Xi Kingdom one after another and returned to their homeland.
Compared with the Jimo master's bamboo basket, the two clan elders and the princes of the Youxi clan behind them did not suffer any loss from their trip to the Xi Kingdom and made a lot of profits. The fully loaded carriages returned when the clan elders left.
Get a glimpse.
Yao Yun had no intention of coveting the wealth. After all, he had been busy for several years and built this city brick by stone. If he didn't even let people drink the soup, he would be a bit disrespectful.
Of course, the most important reason is that these tribesmen are well aware of current affairs and did not participate in the struggle between the Xi Kingdom and the Tiger Kingdom.
Otherwise, Yao Yun wouldn't mind kicking them out every day and then giving them the title of "Heroes of the Xi Kingdom".
When all the princes and clansmen in Guanling City left one by one, Guanling City completely fell under Yao Yun's control. What followed was the registration of people's household registration and the implementation of the Xi Kingdom's policies in Guanling City.
With the precedents of Licheng City, Baima City, Qingyuan City, and Chishui City in front of them, the people of Guanling City had full confidence in Yao Yun and the Xi Kingdom, and they were fully enthusiastic about the orders and policies promulgated by the Xi Kingdom.
The situation was excellent, and Yao Yun left it to the officials to manage Guanling City with peace of mind.
At the same time, Hu Yi, the envoy of the Xi State, set off from Xidu and rushed to the Yue and Wu States to lobby the two marquises to support the Xi State!
Yao Yun was looking forward to Hu Yi's trip, but he did not place all his hopes on the support of the two marquises.
No matter how the situation changes, at its root, Xi Country's own strength is the most important.
If they could have a fifth-level elite army to control the country, the situation would immediately be different. Even if the Chu State tried to block it, the Xi State would still have the energy to kill two bereaved dogs in front of their owners.
The fifth-grade elite division [Yin Bing Yin General] cannot see the light of day and will not be deployed unless absolutely necessary.
However, the [Fenghuang Division] and [Yu Shen Army] are still short-formed armies, and neither the Qi Refiners in the army nor the national destiny of the Xi Kingdom can quickly promote them to become the elite divisions of the fifth-level country.
At this time, if Xiguo wants to improve its strength, it can only recruit strong people, and they must be strong people at the level of ghosts and gods.
Thinking of this, the figure of Brother Huangniao from Wushan appeared in Yao Yun's mind. Brother Huangniao behaved quite strangely before, and seemed to have a vague desire to yearn for the Xi Kingdom.
I wonder if Guhui made a mistake? If not, does that mean that it is possible to abduct him onto the ship of Xiguo?
In the past, when the Xi Kingdom was just an uncle, Yao Yun would not have dared to think that the temple could not afford real ghosts and gods. But now, the Xi Kingdom is not what it used to be.
He also successfully became an earthly spirit, equal to him.
Not to mention accepting Huang Niao as a minister, based on their friendship, it should not be a problem to invite Brother Huang Niao to Xiguo to serve as a guest minister to protect the country.
The guest minister who protects the country is not subject to the jurisdiction of the princes. The princes worship the luck beads, and ghosts and gods provide certain protection. The so-called guest minister of the country, in a sense, is to invite a protective god, who is relatively free.
In the Xia Dynasty, it was common for a princely state to invite ghosts and gods to serve as guest ministers to protect the country.
In the land of Middle-earth, some powerful uncles have ghosts and gods sitting behind them, serving as guest ministers to protect the country.
After consulting the second elder [Guo Guoqing] for relevant details, Yao Yun summoned the bald dragon and went deep into the southern wasteland together to find Brother Huangniao.
It can be said that this visit was the right thing to do. The bald dragon was able to overcome the tribulation and become a god, and Xiguo was able to take the position of the fourth overlord of the Southern Wilderness, thanks to his righteousness.
If not for the delay in taking over Guanling City a few days ago, Yao Yun would have taken the dragon into the Southern Wilderness to visit Brother Huangniao, the divine bird.
Compared with the last time when Yao Yun led his elite troops to cross mountains and ridges, and there were dangers all the way, this dragon ride was very smooth.
Thousands of mountains and ridges are like nothing, and in a blink of an eye, we have passed the ten thousand mountains.
Not long after, Yao Yun saw the lush ancient tea forest on Lingshan Mountain from a distance.
"Your Majesty, Brother Huangniao seems not to be in Wushan." The bald dragon looked around and found no divine bird, so he was immediately puzzled.
Yao Yun also discovered it, but he was not in a hurry. Brother Huangniao was ordered by the emperor to come here to guard the magic medicine and take care of the black black snake. If he was not in Wushan, he must have gone to Rongshan, south of the black water.
"Go and have a look at Rongshan in front. Maybe Brother Huangniao is on the edge of the Black Water!"
Not long after, one person and one dragon arrived at Rongshan and came to the Black Water. As expected, they saw Brother Huangniao and the Black Water Black Snake.
A bird and a snake fight together again.
The divine bird, Brother Yellow Bird, is a blazing fire that burns everything;
The black water black snake controls the cold black water and freezes everything. The ice energy is filled with poisonous substances and corrodes everything.
The Blackwater Black Snake is indeed a ferocious beast left over from the ancient times. Its combat power is extremely terrifying. Although it has not become a god, it has been able to fight the divine bird back and forth.
Although there is a factor of Yellow Bird's release, it is undeniable that the strength of Black Water Black Snake is also in the late stage of the fifth level. The Qi Refiner of the Tiger Kingdom is far behind. The two sides are not at the same level at all. Black Water Black Snake
Although snakes are not ghosts and gods, their momentum and fighting power are almost the same as those of ordinary ghosts and gods.
Perhaps seeing outsiders visiting, the bird and the snake quickly stopped fighting.
Brother Huangniao looked happy when he saw Yao Yun and Bald Dragon visiting. However, Blackwater Black Snake didn't know Yao Yun. When she saw Yao Yun, she immediately became alert and unknowingly leaned towards Brother Huangniao and moved behind her.
He left the sacred bird Huangniao on his back. He seemed to trust the yellow bird quite a bit and completely forgot about the battle just now.
The bald dragon was amazed when he saw this scene, but Yao Yun had heard Brother Huangniao talk about it before, so he wasn't surprised at all.
"Brother Huangniao, I'm here to visit you."
"Hahaha, it's so lucky that Xihou is here!"
Hearing the warm greetings from both sides, the Black Water Black Snake immediately dropped its vigilant gaze, spitting out its snake letter, and jumped into the rolling black water with its huge body.
Upon seeing this, the sacred bird Huangniao shook his head slightly, then remembered something and greeted Yao Yun and Bald Dragon with a smile again.
"Invite your two distinguished guests this way!"
The sacred bird Yellow Bird is quite eager and a bit flattering in a faint way!
This discovery made Yao Yun extremely happy. Could it be that Brother Huangniao also wanted to join the Xi Kingdom, so he was so eager?
According to Wu Tong, the second elder, many ghosts and gods in the Xia Dynasty wanted to find a powerful vassal state to serve as a guest minister to protect the country and enjoy the enshrinement of the country.
However, the fact is that there are many vassal states who want to worship ghosts and gods and invite them to serve as protectors, but there are very few vassal states that can afford it.
This creates a situation where there are too many people but too little gruel. A prosperous vassal state can indeed win the favor of many powerful ghosts and gods.
Could it be that Brother Huangniao also meant this?
Yao Yun was eager in his heart and was just about to say something.
As a result, Brother Huangniao didn't follow common sense. As soon as he sat down, he opened the door and spoke first: "Marquis Xi, I want to ask for something again!"
