It was freezing cold, and it was nearly dusk.

The king sat in a carriage and drove in a small city on the border of Tianqian, watching the lights of the houses on the side of the road turn on one after another, setting off the clouds and haze in the sky very heavy.

Of course, this is not a sign of the coming mountain rain, but the tranquility of the beginning of the wind and snow.

At the moment, there is a lot of snow on the ground, but there are still small snow particles floating in the sky, and it seems that there is a tendency to fall again.

……

Well, in fact, at the moment when the Northern Night and Ye Wulang met in the dry port, the other king was also on his way to Lu Wenyan's mansion to pay respects.

This time, Lu Wenyan, as the younger brother of Emperor Zhao Wuguo, is in control of the largest commercial empire in Buyezhou, and his weight can be said to be very important among these small countries on the Tianqian border.

In order to win the support of Lu Wenyan, and at the same time, to reach an alliance with Zhao Wuguo in disguise through Lu Wenyan's identity, many countries expressed their congratulations to Lu Wenyan, and at the same time wanted to send the prince to congratulate him on his birthday, but for a variety of considerations, in the end, Lu Wenyan only chose six countries, including dog hair.

Out of recognition and respect for Lü Wenyan's status, the six countries all sent the most honorable crown prince except the emperor to congratulate him on his birthday to express their importance to Lü Wenyan.

It's just that the other princes are all people who hold real power, call for wind and rain in their own country, are quite prestigious, and have quite resources. But he is just a nominal prince, who stood a few years earlier and got the position of a prince, but in fact his father doesn't love his brother. On weekdays, his life only relied on the little worship as the crown prince, and his life was very poor, and even the gift money allocated to him to buy a congratulatory gift for Lu Wenyan's birthday this time was deducted by those brothers who didn't like it! I couldn't afford any expensive gifts at all, and I thought that I would inevitably be made fun of by the princes of other countries at the birthday banquet when the time came.

Yes, it will be made fun of, after all, as the prince of a country, he can't even get a decent birthday gift to participate in the birthday banquet, which is really undignified.

Of course, the reason why the king can be sure that he will be teased by all the princes attending the meeting is, to some extent, also related to his country.

Generally speaking, as a small country that is sandwiched between the three big countries of Tianqian Shangguo, Yuxun Ancient Kingdom and Fenglei Hengguo, life is very difficult for each other, and generally speaking, they should help each other.

Of course, in fact, most of the small countries do this with each other, everyone unites with each other, mutual benefit and mutual assistance, and works together to survive in the gap left between the three big countries.

However, this is not the case with one country, which has its own unique personality and does not huddle with each other like other countries, but is a maverick and fights alone against the three major powers for their own rights and interests.

That country is dog down.

Inu down is a very unique country.

First of all, its geographical location is very unique, all the surrounding countries are sandwiched between two big countries at most, and the border is at most bordered by two big countries on both sides, and it is under pressure from both directions.

And what about dog down? It is bordered on three sides!

Tianqian, Yuxun, Fenglei, the three big countries and the dog down have a junction, dog down can be said to be located in the center of the three big countries in Buyezhou.

With such a geographical location, the dog down naturally has to bear the pressure from the three superpowers, and the countries next to it only need to bear the pressure of the two countries and need to hold together.

However, in fact, the people of the country of dog velvet are more comfortable than other countries, or rather, much more comfortable.

All this is because the successive monarchs of the Inurong Kingdom all have cultivation above the Sword Emperor level!

Of course, this is not that all the royal families of the Inu Velvet Country are extraordinary, and their martial arts talents are outrageous, and they are all destined to cultivate to the realm of the Sword Emperor as soon as they are born. If this is the case, as long as the talents of the last few generations are carefully accumulated, with the terrifying combat power of several Sword Emperors, it is not impossible for Inudown to expand its territory and become the fourth superpower in addition to Tianqian, Yuxun, and Fenglei.

This is not the case.

Although each generation of emperors of the Inuvelvet Kingdom has a Sword Emperor cultivation, in fact, in any period, there will only be one Sword Emperor in the Inuvelvet Country, and that is their monarch.

Because unlike other people's Sword Emperor cultivation, the Sword Emperor-level cultivation of the Sovereign of the Inuvelvet Kingdom was inherited from the previous generation of the Inuvelvet Emperor, just like the throne.

The royal family of the Inurong Kingdom has a secret method that can store the realm power of each emperor, and after his death or abdication, it will be passed on to the next emperor along with the throne.

There is no ritual for this kind of inheritance, as long as the previous emperor leaves the throne, whether it is voluntary resignation or death in battle, when the new emperor is born, a force with a long inheritance will descend on the new emperor in an instant, and he will be promoted in an instant to become a super powerhouse at the level of the Sword Emperor.

And because this power is equivalent to pouring the previous emperor's lifelong cultivation into the body of the next emperor, this power will continue to grow like a snowball while continuing to be inherited, which will also make the monarch of the dog velvet country stronger from generation to generation!

It's like this Dog Velvet Monarch, who has reached the peak of the Sword Emperor with a single body of cultivation, and is an existence that has already stepped into the realm of the Sword Sect in half a step. Everyone thought that when the throne of the Inurong Kingdom was alternated once or twice, the realm they inherited would break through the Sword Emperor level and reach the Sword Sect level existence!

It is precisely with such a powerful power that the kings of the Inuvelvet Kingdom can protect their country like gods, and in addition to ensuring that their citizens enjoy independent rights, they do not need to grovel to the great powers like other countries, but can retain the right to dialogue on an equal footing.

It is also because of this that the Dog Velvet Country does not attach so much importance to Lu Wenyan, a businessman, like these small countries, that the brothers of the other king dare to attack his gift money, making him lose face in front of the princes of other countries.

After all, there is only one throne in the Inuvelvet Country, that god-like position, and anyone who wants to go up and sit down and experience it, the supreme power, and the power to take the strongest.

So why do you want this eye-catching prince to ascend to that position? Hengzhi has no status in the eyes of the current lord, so he can simply bully him, so that he will lose face in front of foreign high-level officials, and when the time comes, under the anger of his father, it is very likely that he will take the opportunity to abolish the position of the prince of this goods and set up another prince, and at that time, it will depend on whose means are better and can please his father more.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the identity of a foreign king who is the prince of a powerful country is unspeakably expensive, and he is a person who will stand at the top of the world in the future, but in fact, he is much worse than the prince of any country, and even the people of his own country will despise him and give him all kinds of small shoes to wear.

For example, this time I went to Lu Wenyan to pay a birthday visit, the weather was cold, and the charcoal fire in the carriage he was riding in was actually wet! The people below also told him with a mocking face that this charcoal fire was due to the heavy humidity in the rain and snow, so he was damp, and he also asked him to stop with a hippie smile.

But how is this going to be, the charcoal fire in this car is about to drip water, where is this damp, this is clearly soaked in water and soaked again!

However, even if the king wants to be angry, but after all, he has to rush to Lu Wenyan's house to pay homage, if he misses the hour, I am afraid that when the time comes, some of his brothers will make up some stories to arrange themselves, more things are better than less things, in order not to make more trouble, the king had to sit in the cold sedan chair and go to Lu Wenyan's house against the wind and snow.

But fortunately, perhaps because he arrived late, the princes of various countries were busy chatting with Lu Wenyan, and did not pay too much attention to him, so he was not ridiculed by the princes of other countries, and was guided to sit down quickly after handing over the congratulatory gift.

It's just that in the process of watching their conversation, and even when everyone toasts each other after the birthday banquet begins, the other king always has a feeling that Lu Wenyan seems to look at his side most of the time.

And in his gaze, the king seems to see a complex mixture of various emotions such as pity, longing, giving, appeal, and so on.

But he didn't understand that he was just a small prince who was not valued and could be abolished at any time, and what benefits could a successful person like Lu Wenyan get from himself? Could it be that he opened the market for dog down from himself and included dog down in his business map?

This is possible, after all, with the special geographical location of dog down, although it can be said that it is quite unfavorable for a country to suffer from the enemy, but if you consider it from a commercial point of view, it is an important hub that can not be compared with even a dry port, enough to connect this world!

It's just that if he opened up the wasteland of dog hair, Lu Wenyan's idea of beating him was wrong.

The king laughed at himself, thinking that he couldn't say a word at all in the dog down now, even if he wanted to help this Lu Wenyan open up a way, but he didn't even have a way, so how could he help others open up?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, the worse his mood became, and the wine went down one by one, and the consciousness of the other king was gradually blurred, he thought so much, he couldn't afford to get drunk like this, and he didn't have to worry about this bad world anymore...

……

And then... In the haze, he saw Kiyohime's appearance...

Really, good-looking people...
