Sikong Yu listened quietly to the king's story, and after a while, she slowly exhaled a breath and said:

"Then he just let Li Qingyi be arrested?".

The king shook his head and said:

"Of course not, it's just that the Xuanyuan family is faster than him, let Xuanyuan Lang arrest him first, and abolish his magic power, but I don't know why, he actually recovered, and broke through to the gold level, so he escaped from the Xuanyuan family with a secret method, and three days later went to the Xuanyuan family with serious injuries, cut off the head of the two-star Xuanyuan Yansong, and shot an arrow at the Xuanyuan torch with the eight-star diamond...... In the end, he came back alive. ”。

Sikong Yu took a deep breath and said:

"According to you, this guy is really an infatuated person. ”。

The king didn't expect Sikong Yu to not care about Luo Kong's strength and talent, he had a ghostly expression on his face and said:

"Don't you want to know why the five god-level masters shot together?"

Sikong Yu shook his head and said:

"Do you still need to think about it? This guy must be so talented. ”。

The king smiled and nodded.

Compared with the joy of the father and daughter, Luo Kong's situation is a little bad.

The grassland has entered the stage of peace talks, and Luo Kong's sudden intrusion interrupts Zhu Lang's plan for peace talks, and the little wolf king's elder brother and uncles are about to take this opportunity to tear off a few pieces of flesh from his body.

Today is their third peace talks, and Luo Kong also participated in this peace talks.

"Zhu Lang, don't forget where you are from, just because of a hairy boy's words without evidence, we are asked to give up the heavenly burial that has been passed down for thousands of years, how can you serve the public? I think, you can't sit on the throne of the wolf king!"

Everyone echoed in unison, and Zhu Lang's hands were exposed, and they all looked at Luo Kong with cannibalistic eyes.

Luo Kong stood up, and he said:

"I will last advise you a few words, if the undead natural disaster really breaks out, the grassland will bear the brunt, and when the time comes, you can only be the king of the bare-rod wolf king, my words have been brought, believe it or not. ”。

Luo Kong turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard a person on the other side say:

"You want to leave? You are a foreigner who has shaken such a great majesty in the grassland, and now it is like leaving, where can we put the face of the grassland? Come on, catch him for me! Take off his hands and feet, and send him back to Tianhua!"

Zhu Lang stood up, slapped the table violently, and shouted:

"I think who dares, Marimu, what kind of heart do you have? Do you know that if you really do this, Tianhua will send troops tomorrow, and when the time comes, the grassland will become a sea of blood!"

The man named Malimu sneered:

"It's really hard wings, and you don't even call your eldest brother anymore, what do you think you are? You are so timid and afraid, how can you lead the grassland to become bigger and stronger? I have decided, a month later, I will fight to the death with you!".

The crowd echoed in unison again.

Luo Kong patted Zhu Lang on the shoulder and said:

"I don't care about the life or death of the grassland people, but Brother Zhu Lang, if the grassland really breaks out in the undead natural disaster, you can bring your closest and most trusted people to my Tianhua at any time, and the door of my Tianhua will be open for you at any time. ”。

Zhu Lang slapped Luo Kong's hand away and said:

"I was born as the wolf king of the grassland, and died as the eagle of the grassland, why did Brother Luo insult me so much?".

When Luo Kong heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then said:

"Brother Zhu, take care. ”。

After speaking, Luo Kong disappeared into the tent.

Zhu Lang sat in his tent, thinking carefully about what Luo Kong said, he sighed, his eyes were full of worry, he knew that the grassland was going to suffer.

In another tent, Malimu looked at the black-robed man in front of him and said:

"If Tianhua is here, can you really guarantee that you can turn them all into my soldiers and horses?"

The two blue flames under the hood of the black-robed man were still beating, and he said;

"Your Highness still won't believe me after seeing your thousands of undead warriors? ”。

Malimu looked at the black-robed man and laughed as well, as if he had seen the millions of undead army standing beside him a few months later.

Luo Kong returned to the realm of Tianhua and reported everything to the king of Tianhua.

King Tianhua sat in his chair and took a long breath.

"Convene the ministers of the four politics and three departments, and gather all the princes!".

After a few hours, a huge sand table appeared in front of the king, on which was the topography of the sky and the steppe.

The king looked at one of the ministers and said:

"Aiqing, what do you think?"

The man came out and said:

"In the opinion of the minister, if the undead disaster really strikes from the north, the first thing to suffer is the northwest, the northwest is densely populated, and it is deeply embedded in the grassland, as long as the person who controls the undead is not stupid, he will definitely choose the northwest. ”。

The king took a deep breath and said:

"Well said, our topic today is what to do if the army of the undead arrives from the steppe in a month's time. ”。

The king glanced at the kneeling courtiers below, spoke slowly, and said:

"From now on, the Northwest has been invaded, and you speak freely and speak your mind. ”。

Sikong Duanming, Sikong Yu, Sikong Jue and other princes knelt on the main hall and knelt in front of the majestic man.

The king asked:

"What do you all think about the undead in the Northwest?"

All the princes looked at each other, eager to try, but they didn't dare to be the first to speak. The king frowned and asked:

"Is that all you have the guts? Okay, Ke'er, you speak first. ”。

The one who was called by name was the eldest prince, Sikong Ke.

Sikong Ke trembled and said:

"Erchen secretly thought that he should increase his troops in the northwest in time to save the people's ......."

Sikong Ke Balabala talked a lot, and the king was expressionless, but he was already tired of it.

The rest of the princes were basically the same as what Sikong Ke said, and the situation changed when they knew that Sikong Ke was speaking.

Sikong Jue says:

"Erchen thinks that there should be a trade-off, the enemy is not a human being, if he blindly increases his troops, he will only increase the strength of the enemy in vain. ”。

The king was still expressionless, but he was relieved in his heart, and he asked:

"Is there a solution?".

Sikong Jue frowned and said:

"Erchen is stupid, and there is no solution. ”。

The king sighed in disappointment and said:

"Duanming, you have always had the best relationship with Jie'er, you have a solution. ”。

Sikong Duanming didn't expect the king to come to him directly, so he had to say:

"Erchen thought that the long pain was better than the short pain, and he should abandon the three cities of Northwest, Daoyu and River Valley in the northwest, and take the surrounding four cities of Pingcheng, Yueguang, Tiandu, and Shixia as the boundary, and increase a large number of troops among them, move their people to the interior, and at the same time ask for help from the Qinglong Empire, combine the power of me and the Qinglong, eliminate the invading enemy, and then move the people of the four cities back to the seven cities, exempt the taxes of the seven cities, and at the same time supplement the state with resources to help them recover their vitality. ”。

The king was about to smile when his face suddenly became gloomy again, and he said:

"Yu'er, you have the most ideas, you can talk about it. ”。

Sikong Yu stood up, looked directly at the king, and asked:

"Back to his father, Erchen wants to ask Duanming's younger brother a few questions first. ”。

The king was silent for a moment, and then said:

"You ask. ”。

Sikong Yu returned the salute, and then asked:

"Dare to ask Brother Duanming, how did you deduce that the Blue Dragon Empire would definitely help us? Even if they agreed to us, what price would we pay? Also, 'move the people of the Four Cities back to the Seven Cities', how should the people of the Four Cities be distributed to the Seven Cities, and how should the people of the Four Cities restore the vitality of the Seven Cities?"

Every time Sikong Yu asked a question, Sikong Duanming's face turned pale.

Sikong Duanming also stood up, first saluted the king, and then said:

"The first question, Brother Wang, have you ever thought that the Blue Dragon Empire is adjacent to my Tianhua, if my Tianhua is conquered, the next step will be to march to the Blue Dragon Empire. The second question, according to past experience, the Qinglong Empire has reinforced our country, and our country has nothing more than reducing tariffs, opening trade routes, and paying New Year's coins, which will not hurt our vitality. The third question is that we have the four ministers of civil affairs, finance, civil affairs, and military administration, plus the ministers of the National Treasury, the Civil Treasury, and the Hyogo Division. ”。

Sikong Yu laughed, laughed wildly, very loudly, he understood that it would be today to bring down Sikong Duanming.

His voice grew louder, and he said:

"Okay, you said that if my Tianhua country is broken, the Qinglong will definitely suffer, but do you know? Compared with my Tianhua national strength, which is stronger and which is weaker? What is the difference? Let me tell you!".

Sikong Yu glared at Sikong Duanming angrily and said:

"I have 100 million people in Tianhua, but the number of people in Qinglong Province; I Tianhua has 600,000 soldiers and horses, but I have only 12 soldiers in Tianhua; 104.1 billion gold coins in my country's treasury are the accumulation of hundreds of years in my Tianhua, but the taxes of the poorest three provinces in the southwest of Qinglong are two years; there are only 12 diamond-level powerhouses in my Tianhua; there are 123 diamond-level powerhouses in the Qinglong Empire, this is only on the surface, do you think they will prepare less than us on the dark side? Not to mention that they also have the pillars of the four major towns and a god, what do we have? Stronger than my father, what kind of rank can I rank in the Blue Dragon Empire? To put it mildly, even if you and I and even the whole country become undead, they will not pose any threat to the Green Dragon. ”。

Sikong Duanming only felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and he actually fell to the ground and sat down.

Sikong Yu continued:

"This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is how do you know that the undead have nothing to do with the green dragon, and how do you know that the green dragon will not fall into the well and raise an army to attack my Tianhua on the grounds that my Tianhua has copied the undead?

Sikong Duanming's face turned pale and said:

"It's been like this in previous years......".

Sikong Yu roared angrily:

"Then I ask you! In previous years, the people who negotiated were now available? In the past years, the king was now available? Is the difference in the national strength of the two countries as great as it is now? Even if you completely reduce or reduce the tariffs, what impact will it have on him Qinglong, he is just an extra billions of dollars a year, and the same is true for the annual currency, not to mention the loss of power and humiliation of the country, how should the amount of money to be paid be determined? Is it possible that you will have to wipe your ass with four political and three divisions?

It was obviously Sikong Yu who roared, but Sikong Duanming was panting like an ox, he climbed to the feet of the king and pleaded guilty again and again.

The king said lightly:

"Go back"

Then he said to Sikong Yu:

"You're picking all the things here, it's time for you to share your opinion. ”。

Sikong Duanming walked to the sand table below, and his body seemed to be full of strength.

He picked up the light pen and illuminated it:

"Duanming's method is not without merit, and the ministers have the opinion that the people of the seven cities of the northwest, Daohui, river valley, Pingcheng, moonlight, Tiandu, and Shixia will be moved, and the king of the northwest will be able to defend the three cities in the northwest, and my king will do his best to reinforce the troops needed in the northwest. At the same time, the four political and three divisions worked together to rebuild the four cities of Pingcheng, Moonlight, Tiandu, and Shixia into four military cities, relying on the advantages of the terrain to block the undead layer by layer, making it difficult to concentrate troops. This is an internal initiative of my Tianhua. ”。

The king came interested, and he asked:

"Tell me about the back. ”。

Sikong Yu says:

"In the opinion of the sons, when the south is connected with the Kolun allies and the Yue country, and the pressure of our moonlight and Pingcheng is relieved, the Wu country and the Huangsha country are connected to the west, and the pressure of the three cities is relieved of my front, and when the grassland is formed in the north, the pressure of Tiandu and Shixia is relieved, and the pressure of the seven cities is shared with the six countries, then the scourge of the undead will be solved. ”。

The king smiled and asked:

"Then how can you be sure that these five countries will cooperate with you?"

Sikong Yu says:

"First, the enemy's intentions are unclear, and if the enemy fails to overcome it for a long time, it is still possible to reverse course and attack other countries instead. Second, compared with Qinglong, these five countries are more accepting of the benefits that our side can concede, and Tianhua is the strongest among the six countries, and has the most bargaining chips at the negotiating table, so we will take the initiative. Third, if the Tianhua Kingdom is destroyed, although the five countries can profit from it, the biggest benefit will still be attributed to the Qinglong Empire, and the most important thing is that without Tianhua, the hand of the Qinglong Empire may use the old site of Tianhua as a springboard at any time to reach out to any country in the Eastern Regions. If they weren't stupid, they would help me. ”。

The king's eyes were full of appreciation, and he asked:

"And what about post-disaster reconstruction?"

Sikong Yu thought for a moment, and said with a serious face:

Erchen saw this as an opportunity, an opportunity to connect the weaker countries. ”。

The king sat up straight and asked:

"How?".

Erchen believed that duty-free trade routes should be established with the other five countries, and that except for the necessary border checks, the other countries could enter the country with their household registration certificates, and there was no need for customs duties at all. ”。

The eyes of all the princes widened, and even the king's brow furrowed again.

Sikong Duanming seemed to have regained his strength, he pointed at Sikong Yu, and said with a fluttering eyebrow:

"Do you know what you're talking about? Taxation is the foundation of the country, and you are trying to shake the foundation of the country by arbitrarily using taxation?"

The king's brow furrowed even tighter.

Sikong Yu said unhurriedly:

"If there is no distinction between countries, there is no need to consider the national capital. ”。

Sikong Yu pushed Sikong Duanming away, walked up to the king, and said:

"Connecting five countries to form six allies can even attract other allies in the central region to form an alliance, and all countries can only be exempted from commercial taxes, and the profits from the sale of goods only need to be taxed in the country where they are sold, so that the countries will be better connected. Yes, it looks like a loss in a short period of time, and we are the most at a loss, because we have very little to import from the other five countries. But will this still be the case after the tariff is exempted? China is rich in coal, the steppe is rich in coal but only coal, Cologne is rich in iron but lacks obsidian and refined copper, and these are all of which China has, the Mithril and magic diamonds of the Yue country, the gold of the Yellow Sand country, and the transportation capacity of the Ukrainian country, all of which can play their due value. The resources of various countries will circulate throughout the region, and China, which has the greatest demand for various resources, will be the biggest beneficiary. Money, only in exchange for resources is money. ”

Sikong Yu stepped forward again and said excitedly:

"This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that from now on our strength will also increase by a few points, at least it will not become a soft persimmon that the empire can easily knead and flatten, and the countries are dependent on each other, basically unable to disintegrate from the inside, if they want to move us, they must start from the outside, and at that time, no matter which empire wants to move us, we must first consider the cost. ”。

The king rubbed his brow and said:

"You guys stand down first, Yu'er stays. ”。

Sikong Duanming looked at Sikong Yu unwillingly, but he had no choice but to regret and leave.

The king looked at Sikong Yu and asked:

"Yu'er, do you know why I kept you?"

Sikong Yu shook his head.

King says:

"How should you deal with the affairs of the three cities in the northwest?"

Sikong Yu understood it all at this time, now is probably the king's last test for him, if he can correctly handle the relationship between the northwest and the royal capital, then he can sit firmly on the throne.

Sikong Yu thought for a long time and said:

"Back to my father, my sons and ministers secretly thought ...... Steal it as ......".

"Straight to the point"

"The Northwest can't die, not only can't die, but we also have to help them. ”。

The king frowned, and said:

"What's the explanation?".

Sikong Yu says:

"The status of the three cities in the northwest is almost incomparable, the great craftsmen of the country, except for the craftsmen used by the royal family, the rest are all from the northwest, among these people, eighty percent of them are because of the northwest province to stay in Tianhua, if you rashly get rid of the northwest province, where should those craftsmen go? What will they think? Removing the northwest province is a good thing in a short time, but what about a long time? For all kinds of reasons, if the father wants to hear it, the son will not be able to say it for three days and three nights, in short, the son has only one sentence, if you want to get rid of the Northwest Mansion, you must first weaken its influence, this is the business of several generations, not something that can be completed in the short term. Father, if there is no northwest, the king can be determined, if there is no northwest, Tianhua is in danger!".

The king closed his eyes and said to Sikong Yu:

"Go back. ”。

Sikong Yu got up and said goodbye.

The king looked at the slowly closed door of the temple and said:

"Third grandfather, what do you think Yu'er said?"

A figure appeared before the king, and he said:

"He will become the greatest king in the history of Tianhua, even surpassing the founding king. Cheng'er, what you have to do is let it do it, without worries, you know?"

A flash of determination flashed in the king's eyes, and he said:

"My grandson understood. ”。

The old man disappeared into the main hall.

Sikong Jue, Sikong Duanming and others sat in the carriage, and Sikong Jue never said a word.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said:

"If I have a chance, I'll go home first. ”。

With that, he lifted the curtain and tried to jump out of the carriage.

But he still couldn't get out.

Hei Yi, Bai Cheng and Cheng Jian appeared at the back of the carriage, and when Sikong Jue took a closer look, he found that the guards around him had been replaced by the king's own soldiers at some point.

Sikong Jue sat down in the carriage and said:

"Does Father want you to come and kill me?"

Cheng Jian shook his head and said:

"Your Highness is too worried, Your Majesty sees that the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, let me wait to send you two back. ”。

Sikong Jue fell the curtain, and he understood that he was completely defeated.

A month later, the grassland war officially began, and in an instant, corpses were everywhere on the grassland, and the resentment was overwhelming.
