The officials of the states and counties of Beiji Country had already heard that the newly succeeded Ye Libo Tuo killed his brother and father, deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, and was extremely fierce and cruel, so the edict of collecting gold was issued, and no one dared to disobey, and they all began to collect a large amount of gold like a spinning top.

For a time, the world was in turmoil, complaints were everywhere, the people's feelings were miserable, and the scene of finally revival began to disappear again.

It took about two months for the first batch of gold from various states and counties to be transported to the Tiandu Sacred Palace, handed over to the Governor's Division, and the amount was counted from Huonan and transferred to the smelting houses of various ministries, and then the gold was smelted into bricks and tiles and transported to the old site of the Tianyou Palace.

In the past month, all kinds of matters have been arranged, so they chose an auspicious day, sacrificed to the heavens, broke the ground, and built a golden platform.

Since the beginning of construction, the construction of the Golden Terrace has been rapid, and it has begun to take shape in more than two months. It's a pity that those craftsmen worked day and night, and many of them died of exhaustion and exhaustion, and they were all dragged to the barren grassland outside the city and buried indiscriminately.

On this day, after Yeli and everyone inspected the Golden Terrace, they were in a very happy mood, so they rushed to Huining Palace to see Zixi with great interest.

The palace maid saw Bo Tuo coming from afar, and hurriedly welcomed him into the palace to invite him to offer tea, and then went to report to Zixi.

Zixi had already heard that Botuo was building a golden platform, which was extremely extravagant and gorgeous. Although she guessed the intention of leaving the night, because Bai Xiao was in her body, it was inconvenient to leave the palace at will, so she couldn't dissuade her for a while. At this time, it was reported that Ye Li had come to Huining Palace, and Zixi came out to meet him in a vegetarian suit.

Zixi stepped forward slowly and saluted, "Zixi greets Botuo." ”

"Xi'er excuse me, sit down and talk. "The night is very happy.

Zixi sat down sideways, waved his hand to make the palace maids retreat, and then said coldly: "Zixi is a surviving person, and in the future, I will ask Botuo to be called 'Mrs. Xi'." ”

"Xi'er, what are these words? In my heart, you will always be 'Xi'er'. "Yeli's heart is full of tenderness.

Zixi sighed slightly, didn't argue, and changed the topic: "I don't know what happened to Botuo coming to Huining Palace?"

"Xi'er, do you remember that I promised to give you a golden platform? Now I will build a golden platform that is unparalleled in the world and give it to you. "Yeli can't hide the joy in his heart, a warm style.

"I've long forgotten about this, and I ask Berta not to worry about it anymore. Zixi said coldly.

"Xi'er, how could I not be concerned about it? I will never forget, and I will never give up. "The words of the night are sincere, as if returning to the night of the Baisha River ferry.

"How can I say you?" Zi Xi persuaded you, "You have already borne the infamy of 'killing your brother and father, bullying your teacher and destroying your ancestors', do you still have to bear the infamy of 'greedy and lustful, working hard and hurting money'?"

The night is full of love for Zixi, and he only wants to build a golden platform to fulfill the promise of the year, and he has long forgotten about those things. When I heard this, I didn't expect it, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back.

"Xi'er, so you see me like this?" Yeli said sadly.

"It's not that I look at you like this, it's 'people doing it, the sky is watching', isn't Bo Tuo a little remorseful?"

"I ......" Yeli didn't dare to think back to the past, and was speechless.

"I advise Botuo to stop the construction of this golden platform as soon as possible, and send all the craftsmen home, so as not to cause chaos in the world and the wrath of the people and gods. ”

As soon as Zixi's words came out, Ye Li was terrified to hear it.

After a moment of silence, he resolutely said: "For you, even if it is 'the anger of man and God', what am I afraid of!"

"You, you ......" Zixi wanted to condemn, but finally turned into a grudge and said, "Why are you so troubled? My Kejing woman attaches great importance to honor, and since I have married your father, I will never marry again." There are many good women in the world, why do you want to pester me, a surviving person? Do you have to break Gangchang, defeat people, and drive me to a dead end, before you give up?"

These words were like bursts of earth-shattering thunder rumbling overhead in the night, and they blew him up to the point that he opened a miscellaneous sauce shop, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all kinds of colors, and in an instant, he was sparse and confused.

After a long time, Ye Li muttered, "What...... Broken Tsunatsu Chang...... Defeated human ...... I don't care! I know that Xi'er still loves me...... Love my ...... but they are afraid of the tongue of the people of this world...... Don't you dare to ...... Don't dare to say it. ”

"You, you...... If people hear it and spread it, I'm afraid that you and I won't have the face to live in this world. Zixi's face turned pale.

Staring at Zixi with a sad and resentful look, the night was painful, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Xi'er, I won't force you now, after the completion of the golden platform, I will come to see you again, and then I will go to give an explanation to the people of the world, and then I will see who dares to say that the underworld is white!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Lihuo stood up and knocked out of Huining Palace in a daze.

Zixi silently watched the back of the night away, and suddenly two tears fell to the ground with a click, and the tears were shattered, like white pear blossoms in a dream, whirling, drifting, and falling in the air.

When I returned to the palace at night, it was as if I had a serious illness, bedridden, and my mind was confused.

His love for Zixi has long been unforgettable, and he will never forget his love, and listening to Zixi's words of concern, it is clear that he still loves him at night, and if he wants to give it up at this time, how can he give it up?

However, it often backfires.

This gold is a precious and rare thing in the world, and the country of Beiji is a small country in the southern wilderness, so after several expropriations, the gold in all states and counties has shown signs of depletion, and the gold in the treasury is also in short supply.

When Huo Nan entered the palace and learned about the matter, Yeli became more and more worried. He is in love with Zixi inside, worried about gold outside, groggy all day long, and doesn't think about tea and dinner.

Huonan, Duoyi and other ministers were also impatient like ants on a hot pot, turning around and without a good plan.

Days passed without a beating.

In the evening of that day, the palace guard suddenly came to report that two foreign merchants had asked for an audience outside the palace and said that they would discuss gold with Botuo.

When Ye Li heard the news, his condition immediately improved a little, and he jumped off the bed suddenly, and while putting on his robe, he said, "Hurry up and invite the guests to the hall to wait." Then pass on Lord Duo, and Lord Huo will come to accompany him quickly. ”

The palace guard went as promised.

After a short time, the food and the south of the fire came. Ye Li then led the two of them to the temple.

As soon as Yeli entered the hall with his feet raised, he saw a man in a long robe with wide sleeves sitting on an octagonal chair from a distance, with a face painted with indigo and a bearded cheek. On the left side stood a bearded man with a figure of eight, fat and solemn as a corpse.

The bearded guest had already caught a glimpse of everyone entering the temple, and hurriedly got up to greet him. After saluting each other, the crowd sat down individually.

Yeli sat on the throne and asked, "I don't know where Dashang is from, why did you come to my Beiji country?"

The bearded guest replied: "Under the surname Qin Mingguang, he lives in the southeast of Middle-earth, and he has come to buy pearls on the orders of my lord. ”

"The country of Middle-earth, southeast of Wojiao, has not been heard of, how far is it from here?"

"It's just a small country, and it's not a big deal. It's about 10,000 miles away. Qin Guangdao.

"Ten thousand miles! These pearls are everywhere in the world, why do big merchants have to come thousands of miles to buy them in our Beiji country?"

"Bo Tuo doesn't know: if you talk about pearls, in the whole world, only the best in my Beiji country. Folk slang says: pearls are small, pearls are big, and the pearls of the shell machine country are croaking; pearls are big, pearls are small, and the pearls of the shell machine country are few in the world. That's what it means, and my country's name 'Beiji Country' is also falling here. Duo Yi took over the conversation and explained in detail.

"It's the first time I've heard of such a thing, the pearls of my country are really the best in the world, and there are few in the world?" Yeli asked happily.

"Indeed, most of the pearls here are seedless, and the luster is soft and pure, and they can radiate colorful fluorescence, which is really natural, rare in the world, so I came here not far to buy. Qin Guangdao.

"It turns out that the pearls of our country have long been famous overseas!" Ye Li said proudly, "The gold thing that the big merchants want to talk about is to use gold to trade pearls with widows?"

"Bo Tuo is very wise, and that's exactly what I think in the future. I've been here two or three times, but I've bought them from the private sector and got very little. This time, I accidentally saw Bo Tuo issuing an edict to levy gold and build a golden platform, so I wanted to make this deal with Bo Tuo: if Bo Tuo could collect pearls from all over the country and sell them to Zaixia, Zai Xia was willing to buy them all with gold, and he was willing to buy them all as he wanted, and as for the price, it could be discussed. Qin Guangdao.

Ye Li is worried about the gold day and night, and he is restless in sleep, but there is a business that is sent to the door, but it is not the so-called "the mountains and rivers are absolutely doubtful, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village", which saved his urgent need!

In fact, when the official saw this, he probably knew who this Qin Guang was?

This person is none other than King Qin Guang, the second highness of the Netherworld, who deliberately concealed his real surname and real name, and the waiter's eight-character mustache is Shen Guantou.

The two of them came to Beiji Kingdom to buy pearls at the belay of King Senluo, the son of the Netherworld (see "The Legend of the Three Sons of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Blood Splashed Netherworld"), and when they heard folk rumors, they entered the Tiandu Holy Palace together, visited Yeli, and bought a large number of pearls with their wings.

Hearing King Qin Guang's words, he was ecstatic when he left at night, so he wanted to sign a contract with King Qin Guang and ordered Duoyi to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Duo Yi hesitated, and suddenly fell to the ground and played: "Bo Tuo, it is better to postpone the signing of this contract, and Wei Chen must make it clear to Bo Tuo in advance." ”
