Although he no longer cared about the interference of these sects, Lu You's warning could not but be taken to heart, if Frost City joined forces with Flame Mountain and Cloud Spot Mountain to obstruct the trip to the Sea of Clouds. Most of the time it will be troublesome.

If this is the case, it will really be a headache, with the current strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect's fleet, it is still difficult to defeat them with absolute certainty. However, since he is the head of a sect, he must first let his people be able to eat enough and obtain enough beast crystals to support his subordinates.

If this hunt is returned, I am afraid that the vassal forces of the Heavenly Demon Sect will see the wind and rudder and fall apart. Sighing secretly, Qin Lie's face was still full of smiles, and his voice did not move: "Just ask, don't take it seriously." ”

Gu Liekong's expression suddenly improved slightly, and the other fleet generals beside him also breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Lie's brows furrowed slightly: "This time, my Heavenly Demon Sect is a vassal city, how many cloud ships will be produced, how many manpower?"

"Your Excellency, according to the current report, the total number is less than 200 cloud ships, and there are only 200,000 armor soldiers going to sea. Gu Liekong's face obviously revealed a bit of anger, "If it were changed in previous years, at least it would be a thousand ships! Since the monarch succeeded to the throne, these city lords have either temporarily repented or shirked in every possible way, which is really hateful." ”

Qin Lie also raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about it, the armor soldiers and cloud ships sent by these people were so prevaricating, obviously they had the idea of watching the fire from across the shore and retaining their strength, and couldn't help but laugh at themselves: "It seems that it is Lone's mistake." If it is Qin Chuan, even if there are no thousand ships, it is estimated that you can make up 800, right?"

When Gu Liekong heard this, his face was panicked for a while, and he knelt down and said, "Why did you say this?" Liekong can't speak, please don't be surprised." The wisdom and wisdom of the king, we have seen it with our own eyes. Qin Chuan may be a little clever, but in terms of talent, he is not as good as you. These people don't know what they do, and there will always be times when they regret it!"

Qin Lie smiled dumbly, waved his sleeves slightly, and signaled Gu Lie to be empty.

He had already expected this in his heart, so he didn't care. There is no resentment or annoyance against these vassal forces.

Coupled with those previous rumors, it is no wonder that these people have doubts and have the idea of preserving their strength.

But it's okay, and it can even be said that this situation is right in his hands. The vassals follow fewer ships, which means that the beast crystal spirit stones that are distributed in the back are even more minority.

Four hundred and fifty cloud ships, plus the fleet of Qiongshan City, it is estimated that there are enough thousands, which is almost enough for this trip.

Thinking about it like this, Qin Lie's mood changed for the better, and his face was full of smiles. Then I saw a group of people hurrying not far away.

The person at the head is none other than Lu You. I don't know why, it's the iron blue and ugly. In addition to dozens of guards behind him, there was also a team of people accompanying him, looking at their costumes, most of them were not the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

In front of Qin Lie, after Lu You saluted, he pointed to a person beside him: "This is the envoy of the Frost City of the West Sea, on the order of the Lord of the Frost City, he came to meet the king. ”

Qin Lie's eyes immediately narrowed slightly. His pupils flashed and looked at Lu You's side.

This person was dressed in a red robe, as if it was the official uniform of the Central Dynasty. There is a cloud goose pattern embroidered in front of him, and he looks arrogant.

He didn't salute, he first glanced up and down at Qin Lie, and then he bowed: "Frost City Forest Machine, I've seen the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

The people around him suddenly looked angry. They all stared at this forest machine with murderous eyes, and Qin Feng directly held the sword in his hand and took a step forward. A fierce thought, faintly pressed away.

The forest machine didn't care at all, he was indifferent and calm. confronted Qin Feng head-on, and he did not fall behind.

Qin Lie smiled, and didn't want to deal with this guy at all. He turned around and left, leaving the Frost City envoys behind.

Lin Ji didn't care at first, until Qin Lie's figure gradually drifted away, and there was no intention of turning back. Only then did he shrink his eyes and say loudly: "Lin Ji came by the order of the king of my family, and he has a demon lord to tell. Ten days ago, my Frost City had made a covenant with the two cities of Flame and Cloud Flaw, and agreed to work together to descend the sea of clouds within the near future. If the Er Tian Demon Sect also has the intention of joining forces, it can give up the three cities and share them with the three of us!"

The corners of Qin Lie's lips twitched slightly, and now he finally understood, what is called a lion's big mouth, what is called self-defeating, empty mouth and white teeth, and he is going to seek to seize the land of his three cities.

He didn't even bother to raise the thought of scolding and shouting, but he still walked into the distance.

However, the forest machine behind him was still unrelenting, and snorted coldly: "I advise the demon lord, or think twice." It's better to give up the three cities than to destroy the city of the Heavenly Demon Sect! The demon lord can't bear to see the foundation of the boundless demon lord and die out?"

Hearing the latter sentence, Qin Lie finally frowned, nothing else, but this remark really made him angry.

Gritting his teeth, Qin Lie turned his head and smiled brightly. Just when Lin Ji had a slight mockery in his eyes, Qin Lie turned his face again: "Leave all these guys alone and throw them outside." If there is resistance, kill on the spot! Remember, you must be naked!"

Lin Ji and the envoys of Frost City immediately turned pale. And that principle is to smile, and casually hold the purple thunder gun in his hand. And after Gu Liekong was slightly stunned, he didn't hesitate much, and took a step forward, his eyes piercing the murderous opportunity.

Qin Lie didn't bother to pay attention to what was behind him, and turned to look at Lu You, who was accompanying him: "The prime minister is here, but the materials have been prepared and he can sail?"

"Finally, I didn't pay the king's trust, 13 million crossbow arrows, food for 300,000 troops in April, 100,000 spare sets of armor and blades, and 400 merchant ships engraved with floating spirit arrays. There are also the three hundred and three-armed spirit crossbows brought back by the king, which can be loaded with those twenty five-toothed cloud ships in just five days! There are also eight thousand second-order fire thunder arrows and six thousand ice fiery arrows ordered from the Refining Weapon Sect, which are arriving overnight, and they will also arrive in five days. Both are large crossbow arrows that can be used for three-armed crossbows. However, the speech and attitude of the head of the outer sect of the refining sect was quite strange, and he seemed to hate the king extremely much. According to Yichen's estimate, the quality of these arrows is not expected to be too good. ”

As Lu You spoke, he took out a list and handed it to Qin Lie. Then he carefully persuaded him: "The power of Frost City, although it is not as good as my Heavenly Demon Sect. There are countless cloud ships, dominating the sea of clouds. Even if you don't like it, you don't need to offend it too much. ”

Qin Lie took the list and looked at it, and then he was happy. Qiao Han, the outer deacon of the Refining Weapon Sect, was only severely pitted by him nearly a month ago, and it was a strange thing not to hate him to the bone marrow.

As for those Fire Thunder Arrows and Ice Flame Arrows, he didn't expect that the Refining Weapon Sect would carefully build them for him. In short, it can be used at the top, and the Heavenly Demon Sect also has tens of thousands of spirit masters, so they don't have to worry about the other party faking.

As for the next few exhortations of this Lu You, he just didn't hear them, and only thought in his heart, could it be that now these Frost City envoys are better, and that Frost City Lord will show mercy to his subordinates?

If the situation is reversed and the Heavenly Demon Sect is about to return to the old scenery, will this Frost City still dare to be disrespectful to him Qin Lie because of this little humiliation?

The last item in the list is the number of spirit stones spent. All the bows and arrows, armor, food, medicines, and the like were all prepared by Lu You a long time ago and taken from the inventory of the Heavenly Demon Sect. The most expensive ones were the merchant ships that were collected, as well as these spirit arrows purchased from the Refining Sect.

In fact, these Fire Thunder Arrows and Ice Flame Arrows can also be refined by the refiners in the Heavenly Demon Sect. However, the number is too small, even if it is rushed overnight, it is estimated that there are only thousands.

It took a total of five thousand fourth-order beast crystals, and it seemed that Deacon Qiao of the Refining Weapon Sect had indeed hated him to the core. The price was actually increased by four times, and he was hit hard.

In addition, the collection of merchant ships also cost about a thousand. If there is any damage, it will be compensated according to the price afterwards.

At this time, the inventory of the Heavenly Demon Sect had already dried up and the sea had already fallen, and in the end, it still had to be paid from him.

Qin Lie didn't care, put the list away, and then smiled at Lu You: "Prime Minister, these beast crystals, as well as those three hundred and three-armed spirit crossbows, I don't need to repay them in the sect." Just give me 10% of the income when you come back from hunting in the sea of clouds. ”

Lu You's complexion immediately turned blue. I only felt that it was extremely weird in my heart, isn't this Heavenly Demon Sect all your Qin Lie's family business? If the Demon Sect is in danger today, if you are a promising demon master, you will only take out more money from the inner treasury and try your best to enhance the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect City.

This gentleman is good, not only does he watch his money bag tightly. I also tried my best to make money from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Don't you know that if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached to it? The foundation of the Heavenly Demon Sect is gone, and the money in your pocket can be kept?

After observing these few days, I found that this demon lord is either extremely smart, and many things are easy to understand. More whimsical, proficient in political strategy. But this temperament is too strange.

Puzzled, Lu You could only say angrily: "At most, I can only give half of it!"

In the past, the Heavenly Demon Sect sent cloud ships to hunt under the sea of clouds, even if Qin Wuya personally led it, the maximum income was only one hundred thousand fourth-order beast crystals. Even with the recent resurgence of the spirit tide, the number of demon beasts has increased dramatically. In his estimation, this income will never exceed this amount.

Half of the number is only five thousand fourth-order beast crystals.

It was used to exchange for those three hundred and three-armed spirit crossbows, and these second-order spirit arrows, which were also very good, and it could be said that they were earned.

Since the three cities of Frost and Flame have joined forces this time, it is always good for them to have more killing weapons.

"Half percent?"

Qin Lie raised his eyebrows, his face was displeased, and then he actually nodded and agreed: "It's okay to be half-formed! But this matter still needs to be informed by the prime minister." ”

Then he saw Lu You hand over a piece of animal skin, and after Qin Lie unfolded it, he took a look, only to see that what was written on it were all the names of some people and officials. It was the six official systems he asked for a few years ago, as well as the suggestions for the selection of officials.

Take a closer look, it is similar to the three provinces and six ministries of the Middle Earth Dynasty. But it has been slightly improved, and it is more suitable for a wild place like the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

As for those officials, it can be seen that this Lu You obviously has no selfish intentions. The candidates listed are all people he has known recently, extremely talented, and of good moral character.

Qin Lie was noncommittal, and also included this list in his sleeve. Then he smiled: "This matter is not in a hurry, I will talk about it when I come back from the sea of clouds later." Now that my prestige has not been established, my rash restructuring will only make my subordinates panic. The top priority of the Heavenly Demon Sect is this hunt. ”

Lu You then realized something, Qin Lie shirked this time, could it be that he still couldn't believe himself?

Thinking like this, Lu You was speechless for a moment. Even though he knew Qin Lie's actions, he still couldn't help but be discouraged, and for the first time he had the idea of hanging the crown and leaving.

Thinking of the relationship between the monarchs and ministers when Qin Wuya was still alive, it was like a lifetime, which was melancholy.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this new monarch does not believe in himself, what good is it to stay?

Qin Lie didn't notice Lu You's thoughts, and said with a smile: "That's right! If the prime minister has nothing to do recently, why don't you sort out another budget." ”

"Budget?" Lu You's eyebrows raised slightly, a little puzzled.

"It's the budget!" Qin Lie nodded and explained, "It is to estimate the income and expenditure of the Heavenly Demon Sect City next year, and count the expenses of various expenses. It means living within your means. ”

Lu You really got through it at one point, but then he was completely suppressed by Qin Lie's last sentence.

"You might as well calculate it at ten times the expenditure of previous years! Now the price of beast crystals has not yet reached the end, and the value has depreciated greatly. It's better to use it all, collect more materials, and build a house!"

Lu You looked stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Ten times, that is, at least three million or more fourth-order beast crystals.

Is this Qin Lie his own backyard when the sea of clouds comes from, where does he get the confidence to be able to hunt many beast crystal spirit stones under the sea of clouds?

Not only Lu You was puzzled, but the group of people accompanying him were also stunned.

Lu You came worriedly, and left with a sad face.

Seeing the back of this old minister of the Second Dynasty go away, Qin Lie couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips bitterly,

He was telling the truth, but he ignored the fact that his current age and prestige were far from enough to convince his subordinates.

On the contrary, he was regarded as arrogant and unrealistic by his own courtiers.

Sighing softly, Qin Lie looked to his side, only to see Duan Yun Liangbing and the others beside him, who also looked over with different colors, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Don't even Brother Duan and Sister Liangbing believe it?"

Duan Yun pursed his lips for a moment, then stopped. After a while, he still decided to tell the truth: "Brother Qin, ten times, that's more than three million fourth-order beast crystals! The Heavenly Demon Sect's Heavenly Heavenly Powerhouse is only more than ten thousand in total." ”

Over there, Chu Yunlan also raised her eyebrows slightly: "Your Excellency may not know the situation under the sea of clouds." Under the sea of clouds, the evil spirits of demon beasts have increased greatly recently. However, the danger is also increasing year by year. Even if we are in the Phantom Sound Workshop, every time we hunt, we only have an income of 600,000 fourth-order beast crystals. Even if there are ten holy places, there are not too many. This time, it's better not to have too much hope. ”

Qin Lie couldn't help but be speechless, he shook his head slightly, Qin Lie didn't bother to explain, and walked straight in the direction of his main ship.
