While Dugu Junjie was galloping on the sea, the Kingdom of Langya officially fell into the arms of the Xiaoyao Sect. The envoys from the Kingdom of Danyang also officially came to the Kingdom of Canglan and started negotiations between the two parties.
The envoys of the Danyang Country are the Crown Prince of Danyang Country, Song Qiming, and the Prime Minister, Wang Fei.
The person who received the envoy from the Kingdom of Danyang was still Huang Shaoxian, the left prime minister of the Kingdom of Canglan. But this time, there was the prince of the Kingdom of Canglan, Ning Chengwu.
Huang Shaoxian was the first to speak: "I have considered your proposal for two days, but I still have a few small questions. As a Western country, why doesn't your country completely surrender to the country of Qixia? I believe that if your country completely
Take refuge in the country of Qixia, and the country of Qixia will not stand idle."
Wang Fei, the prime minister of Danyang Kingdom, said with a sullen face: "Because... even your Majesty cannot completely ignore the voices in the country.
The Kingdom of Qixia massacred nobles, making the families in Danyang Kingdom both hate and fear them. You know, the Kingdom of Qixia even drove away a force like the Jiuyang Sect. It was called crazy.
We cannot approve of treating nobles like this!"
Huang Shaoxian had a half-smile on his face: So you are afraid! What you say about "cannot ignore the voice of the country" is just that the domestic nobles are taking advantage of the royal family, that's all.
But then a dignified expression flashed across Huang Shaoxian's face. He... was also a noble. Hearing the changes that had taken place in the Kingdom of Qixia, Huang Shaoxian had to be vigilant.
He thought for a while and asked Wang Fei: "Are you really sure that the changes in Qixia Kingdom will have a huge impact?"
"I am sure!"
"Why?"
"Because... they won!" Wang Fei looked extremely serious, "The Kingdom of Qixia was an industrial and commercial... rebellion! Yes, it was a rebellion! But they actually won.
Not only did they win, but they also 'dominated' the domestic situation and supported the queen.
I believe that the real sovereign in Qixia is Zhang Hao. Behind Zhang Hao is the Xuanzhen Sect, and his subordinates control Dayang Group, etc. The Queen is just a puppet, maybe she is Zhang Hao's woman!
In short, the Kingdom of Qixia is now victorious, and the country has begun to implement industry and commerce. I am worried that with the rise of the Kingdom of Qixia, its influence will inevitably expand. At that time, the industrial and commercial classes in the surrounding countries...may also follow suit, or even join the Kingdom of Qixia."
Huang Shaoxian nodded: "That makes sense... but there is one more point, why does it have to be a vassal state?"
Yes, why do you have to be a vassal state? Can you form an alliance? At most, you will be in the position of a subordinate. But what is the relationship between a vassal state? It is quite a bit like a superior-subordinate relationship - at least similar.
Wang Fei answered seriously: "Now the Kingdom of Danyang can no longer withstand the trouble, we can only adopt the safest method. Ask the Kingdom of Canglan to send troops to help quell the rebellion.
Afterwards, the Kingdom of Danyang will assist the Kingdom of Canglan in managing the fertile continent west.
As long as the country of Danyang is stable, we can send legions to assist your country in fighting!"
In fact, the royal family of the Kingdom of Danyang can only control less than half of the area of the Kingdom of Danyang; and a lot of this half of the area is actually controlled by aristocratic families. The royal family cannot directly control it and cannot ensure its rule.
What is really completely controlled by the royal family is only one county, and there are nobles entrenched in it, and their hands are tied.
The changes that have taken place in the Kingdom of Qixia are seen by the royal family of the Kingdom of Danyang, and they are envious in their hearts. Wang Fei said that the Kingdom of Qixia may be ignored by Zhang Hao and other industrial and commercial classes, but that is just nonsense. This is just a kind of sour jealousy!
There is a fear.
What prompted the Danyang Kingdom to make such a decision was the Jinyang Kingdom. Compared with the Qixia Kingdom, the Jinyang Kingdom did not kill the domestic nobles and develop industry and commerce;
Nobles, big and small, families, sects, etc., took advantage of the opportunity of the war and the military power of the East to complete a purge, making the royal family unprecedentedly powerful.
And now that the Kingdom of Jinyang has formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Qixia, it will inevitably be affected. The insightful people of the Danyang Kingdom have already seen the future of the Kingdom of Jinyang and the future of the West, the Fertile Continent.
Under such circumstances, Danyang Country would be in great danger.
In fact, the royal family of the Kingdom of Danyang did not want to imitate the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Jinyang. However, they could not find an opportunity to clean up. Especially after the actions of the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Jinyang, the aristocratic system of the Kingdom of Danyang began to
United together to persecute the royal family.
The royal family had no choice but to bow to the country of Canglan.
Maybe the royal family has a divine transformation period, but the divine transformation period doesn't mean everything. If the domestic nobles and other nobles are to rebel collectively, the Danyang Kingdom may be destroyed in a matter of minutes. At that time, it is difficult to say what the fate of the royal family will be.
Countries are never simply piled up. But the reason why Wang Fei talks nonsense is because Wang Fei himself is also a noble representative of the Danyang Kingdom. He needs to create a positive image and helplessness of the Danyang Kingdom and discredit the Qixia Kingdom.
Huang Shaoxian, the left prime minister of the Kingdom of Canglan, nodded slowly, and everyone began to negotiate the details. Since it is a vassal state, the emperor of the Kingdom of Danyang needs to come to visit and pay tribute every year. In the future, he must also accept the control of the Kingdom of Canglan.
.Otherwise, if the country of Canglan sends troops to attack, the surrounding countries will stand aside and watch.
As for the conditions, from now on Danyang Country will need to pay 20% of the national fiscal revenue every year.
There are some other conditions.
Finally, the crown prince of Danyang Kingdom signed on behalf of Danyang Kingdom without saying a word. From then on, Danyang Kingdom will be a vassal state of Canglan Kingdom. From now on, it will be difficult to change.
From beginning to end, the crown prince of Danyang Kingdom didn't speak much. He was like a marionette. He only became a little smart when he signed at the end.
For Wang Fei and other nobles and aristocratic families, they like this result. Everyone will be safe in the future. But for the royal family, this is a shame. But what can it do? The country is controlled by aristocrats and aristocratic families, and the royal family can't do anything.
.
It’s really nonsense to think that ‘the royal family and the aristocratic families govern together’ are nonsense. This is a real statement without any water in it.
The world of spiritual practice is very ancient, with countless large and small families, sects, etc. Moreover, the life span of many families far exceeds that of the country. After a country is established, it is inevitable to deal with various families.
In other words, the Kingdom of Qixia is located in the west of the fertile continent, and the family background is weak; if Liu Xinyu and even the Kingdom of Jinyang dared to do this in other places, they would have been finished long ago.
To put it bluntly, if the fertile land of the West had not been exploited and the family could not develop, people like Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu would have been hanged long ago. But then again, that's it, instead they were given to Zhang Hao and given to
Opportunities in the land of Qixia.
In the end, with the help of this war, a new industrial and commercial class was supported, and the domestic aristocracy and family system were overthrown in one fell swoop.
Things are so wonderful sometimes, as the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on it, and misfortune depends on blessing. In the past, the country of Qixia had been oppressed by the east, and the continuous eastward expeditions made the country wither. In such a barren place, there are almost no aristocratic families, etc.
Soil for survival.
The people who died in every Eastern Expedition should be regarded as ordinary people, and they were all practitioners. Those generals, officials, etc. were all talents drawn from aristocratic families. In the past, the great emperors of Qixia Kingdom were not stupid either.
During every war, a group of people would be sent up to consume them.
The Eastern Expedition is not just about external expansion. It is also about internal cleanup!
To sum up, why can Liu Xinyu accept "constitutional monarchy, the king is under the law"? Because in the past, the royal family did not have much absolute centralization of power. Although the current Qixia country says that the king is under the law, after all, there is still a premise - a constitutional monarchy. The end of the law
To finalize, Liu Xinyu still needs to nod.
In this way, the power of the royal family has actually increased a lot.
But the Kingdom of Qixia has this opportunity, but the Kingdom of Danyang does not. The country is ignored by aristocratic families, aristocratic sects, etc. So now, the prince of Danyang Kingdom can only silently accept his share of the treaty, say goodbye with a dejected expression, and turn around to leave.
.
But Wang Fei said goodbye with a smile.
On the Canglan Country side, Left Prime Minister Huang Shaoxian went out to see him off warmly.
But no one saw Ning Chengwu, the crown prince of Canglan Kingdom, leaning on his chair, with some kind of light flashing deep in his eyes. He saw the expression of the crown prince of Danyang Kingdom just now and remembered it in his heart.
And feel the same way.
Both of them are princes!
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Ning Chengwu thought for a long time and suddenly went into the palace to discuss with his father for a long time. Finally, the Prince found Fu Yun and said he wanted to visit the Kingdom of Qixia.
"After all, we have cooperated before. Is it okay to go and have a look? I am very curious about the current state of Qixia Country. Especially...the Queen!"
Fu Yun sighed: "You don't want me to take a break, do you? During this period of time, I have become the image ambassador of both countries."
"Excuse me, sir." Ning Chengwu accompanied him with a smile.
"You want to go see the Queen, right? But I advise you to be careful. The Queen is cruel. She is not someone who is being ostracized as Wang Fei said, but someone who truly holds the real power.
You must have some idea about ascending the throne as a woman and proclaiming yourself emperor."
…………
Here at the Zhang family, Dugu Junjie and Chen Yansong stared at each other in shock for a long time.
After a while, Chen Yansong forced out a smile: "Master, I have been looking for you for almost twenty years! For this reason, I also set up a mercenary group to inquire about news. It was not until Bai Ye came here this time that I knew about you, Master
Actually came here."
Zhang Hao was watching from the side, feeling that the amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and turned to look at Bai Ye, but Bai Ye always maintained that faint, graceful (treacherous) smile.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes, and suddenly realized that both Feng Zhiling and Bai Ye were disciples sent by the Xuanzhen Sect, and each of them was so unique.
Dugu Junjie was still in a daze. He opened his mouth and finally said with some difficulty: "Uncle Chen... where were you twenty years ago?"
Chen Yansong's face changed, with regret and other emotions flashing across his face, and he slowly said: "Twenty years ago, I went to Liuli Island."
"Liu Li Island?" Dugu Junjie frowned, obviously he had never heard of it. Of course, Zhang Hao had not heard of it either.
"It's a long story, how about we change places?"
Zhang Hao said: "Come with me."
Everyone came to the courtyard of the Zhang family in front and sat down in a pavilion with beautiful scenery. The autumn wind was already slightly cool, but since we were all practitioners, we didn't care about the temperature. Instead, we could appreciate the beauty of nature.
Fallen leaves are falling all around, and the golden spiritual rice is undulating slightly in the wind. Under the tall plants, busy figures are occasionally revealed.
A maid brought tea and left. Chen Yansong sighed and slowly unfolded what happened that year.
At that time, the Kingdom of Shaoze was not yet in chaos, but there was already a crisis. General Duguxin of the Shangzhu Kingdom tried to weaken the nobles, families, etc., but was counterattacked. A few days later, the clan was exterminated at midnight (see Chapter 190 for details).
But Chen Yansong left at that time. As the chief bodyguard of the family, Chen Yansong was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage at that time, and was one of the top masters in the family, second only to the head of the family, Dugu Xin - at that time, Dugu Xin was already in the early stage of becoming a god.
master.
When Chen Yansong's cultivation has reached its peak, a state called 'Great Perfection'. At this time, he can try to reach the stage of divine transformation.
But it is not that simple to enter the stage of becoming a god. It requires the guidance of more advanced spiritual energy. Usually people call this more advanced spiritual energy the energy of the fairy spirit.
At that time, Dugu Xin had already felt the crisis in his family, so Dugu Xin urgently needed a second God Transformation Stage to stabilize the family. As long as there were two God Transformation Stages in the Dugu family, there was nothing anyone could do as long as they did not rebel.
The fairy energy needed to reach the stage of becoming a god is very rare. It is generally controlled by the Holy Land, and there will only be an opportunity to open it for decades, or even hundreds of years. At that time, the Holy Land is far away from the next opening.
It will take at least twenty or thirty years.
If Chen Yansong went to the East to look for opportunities, the round trip would probably take more than ten years, but the Dugu family could not wait that long and could not yet determine the outcome.
So there is only one place to go - Liuli Island!
The northern ocean is called the Glazed Sea.
In the far north of the Fertile Continent, across thousands of miles of ocean, there is Liuli Island. Liuli Island is full of spiritual energy and is frozen for most of the year and half of the year. In this wonderful environment, Liuli Island is like a fairy tale world.
But deep in this fairy tale world, there is a "ruin". The ruins are almost buried under the glacier, with only a few cracks serving as entrances.
In this ruins, there are many "broken spaces". Many spaces are broken and have nothing; some spaces are even inhabited by ordinary humans. But in more spaces, there are strange flowers and plants, and monsters and beasts.
Even evil monsters etc.
But in a very small number of spaces, there may be 'fairy spirit'!
This relic space on Liuli Island has attracted a large number of practitioners from the Fertile Continent and even other continents. Not only are there opportunities to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage, but there are also exotic flowers and plants, many from the Golden Core Stage, Yuan Dynasty, etc.
There are gains in infancy.
But because Liuli Island is thousands of miles away from the mainland, with the vast and dangerous open sea in the middle, it is mainly during the Yuanying and Transformation stages to explore.
However, in such an isolated "outside the world", chaos is conceivable. Everyone who goes to Liuli Island must be prepared to die. The crisis here has three main aspects: environment,
Monsters, as well as people! Especially 'people', are the most dangerous.
Because it is very dangerous here, and there are many large and small spaces inside the ruins, it is like an underground world, so it is named: Chaos Hell.
But there are also big opportunities here. For example, becoming a fairy spirit in the stage of becoming a god.
Chen Yansong was very lucky. Based on the information provided by Dugu Xin, he found an inconspicuous space. In this inconspicuous space, there was a complete fairy spirit.
Chen Yansong went into seclusion for about two months. Thanks to his solid foundation, he reached the stage of becoming a god in one breath. Then he quickly returned to the Kingdom of Shaoze without caring about consolidating his cultivation.
But two months later, the world has completely changed.
Just a few days after Chen Yansong left, the Dugu family was wiped out. No chickens or dogs were left behind, only corpses and broken walls were left uncollected.
A few days later, when the emperor of Shaoze Kingdom went to the Royal Hunting Garden, he was regarded as prey by others. An arrow flying from ten miles away took away the emperor's life.
After that, the Kingdom of Shaoze was completely divided, and the princes, major families, warlords, local generals, etc. became independent.
After returning, Chen Yansong endured his grief and anger and found all the corpses, identified them one by one and buried them in peace. Many of the corpses Chen Yansong saw had only skeletons left, and they could only be identified by their clothing and accessories.
.What followed was a twenty-year search.
Search for the survivors of the Dugu family, and search for the enemies of the past. Over the years, many people have been killed overtly or covertly - in the transformation stage, you cannot take the initiative to attack ordinary people; but you have killed all the people, and you still hope to transform into gods.
Will you keep it?
Dugu Junjie's eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Have you seen my dad? Where are my brothers?"
"The master... was supposed to give his family a chance to escape, and was besieged and died by the other gods. When I saw the master, his bones were dark red and loose, which was caused by the burning source. The master was... shot by several guns
Spear nailed to the wall!
As for the eldest young master... he should be dead. I only didn't find you and the second young master at the scene."
"Ah..." Dugu Junjie roared. His sad voice attracted the attention of farmers harvesting spiritual rice in the distance.
Zhang Hao hurriedly showed up: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone, keep busy. This is an Eastern country's matter and has nothing to do with us."
Seeing Zhang Hao appear, everyone said "Oh" and continued busy.
…………
A few days passed quietly. During these days, Zhang Hao comforted Dugu Junjie, saying that he must look forward and restart the Dugu family. On the one hand, Zhang Hao also wanted to participate in the management of Dayang Group, supervise and guide the development of the Zhang family, and also
We must participate in all aspects of national construction.
Master Zhang is very distressed and has not been able to sleep in for several days.
In the past few days, many things have happened. The Yanyun Kingdom in the north has counterattacked several times, but has been jointly contained by the Qixia Kingdom, Zhoushan Kingdom, and Zhongshan Kingdom, and has begun to retreat.
Fu Yun from the Eastern Canglan Kingdom came back again, this time bringing the prince of the Canglan Kingdom. The prince was amazed when he saw Liu Xinyu.
To be precise, Liu Xinyu's appearance is less soft and more strong. Judging purely from appearance, she is one point worse than Zhou Xueyao. However, she is the queen! Her temperament +100, charm +100, and danger +
100. The prince of Canglan Country was stunned on the spot.
But unfortunately, it is impossible for the two of them to be together. Unless Ning Chengwu, the crown prince of the Canglan Kingdom, is willing to give up his position as crown prince and become an 'imperial concubine'!
After Ning Chengwu walked around Liu Xinyu for two days, he was going to visit the Zhang family.
Zhang Hao refused without even thinking about it. Ning Chengwu yelled for a long time, but Zhang Hao didn't even let Ning Chengwu step into the Zhang family's fiefdom, which was within the scope of the eight towns.
Ning Chengwu wanted to visit the Dayang Group headquarters in Ninghe County, but he was unable to enter.
When you, the country of Canglan, were asked to hand over Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan, you said that they were not found, and then you even changed their names. You really pretended that I didn't know anything.
Amid the commotion, Dugu Junjie regained his confidence. Two days after another sea trial, he found Zhang Hao and said that he would officially go on a long sea voyage.
At this time, there are only 12 days until the state funeral of Qixia Kingdom. Dugu Junjie wants to come back before the state funeral and bring unprecedented glory to Qixia Kingdom.
"Bringing glory to the country is also a farewell to the past. From now on, I will rebuild the prestige of the Dugu family!" Dugu Junjie said sonorously and forcefully as he stood in front of Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "Do you want to rebuild the family?"
Dugu Junjie looked at Zhang Hao and asked doubtfully: "You probably don't agree with the family, right?"
"What I don't agree with is the kind of old, rigid family that hinders social progress. What I want is the kind of family that can do things seriously and be proactive! And it is impossible to prevent the development of the family.
Now, if you, plus Chen Yansong, join Dayang Group, I think we can convene a shareholders' meeting to discuss your shares."
Dugu Junjie immediately rolled his eyes: "You want Uncle Chen to be in this divine stage, right?"
Zhang Hao smiled: "Let's talk about it when we get back. The boat is ready, let's set off together!"
After saying that, Zhang Hao took the lead and walked towards the Zhiyuan battleship.
