Yang Ke and his entourage rushed back non-stop, and finally returned to Jiugong City at noon the next day.

As soon as they entered the city, Yang Ke and his entourage were warmly cheered by the people. Of course, this so-called national is only Han nationals, and those slaves in the domestic palace are not qualified to come to greet them.

"Haha, Your Highness destroyed a small country again this time and brought back tens of thousands of slaves. It seems that the work on the mine side is idle again. ”

"I said, can you be careful in the mines? There are too many dead slaves there. ”

"There's no way, who let the fierce beasts and poisonous insects entrench in the mine, and don't let these slaves step on the point, will it be difficult to damage our own people? Besides, there are many people who die on your farming side? Just ploughing the fields, where are there so many casualties?"

"There are slaves to run away, wild beasts to eat people, and there are those who commit suicide and die of exhaustion. I'm also very helpless, I obviously treat them very well, let them eat and drink enough, and only need to work five hours a day. I'm going to be out there for four hours myself!"

The citizens looked at the cage of slaves and talked about each other's situation casually.

The Xia State had a shortage of labor, and in addition to encouraging childbearing, he could only put his mind on the slaves. In order to free the people from the burden, they left a lot of labor work to slaves to ensure that the people had enough time to study their crafts and techniques.

Immediately, Yang Ke smiled and accepted the garland sent by the girls. He whispered to Liu Sheng, who had half of the horse's body falling out of the back: "In a while, you take the soldiers down to settle down first, and I will go to meet the 'nobleman'." ”

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, with my level, I can't be harmed by the spirit of the country. ”

Thank you, I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about the spirit of the country, okay?

Liu Sheng looked entangled and replied in a low voice: "You have a more restrained temper, and you can tolerate the nobles more, after all, they are all inherited in one line, and everyone is not good-looking when they make trouble." Even if you don't give face to the national spirit, Yu Yuan's face must be given. With the existence of the national spirit, her situation in the Spirit Palace can be much better. ”

"Rest assured, rest assured, I understand. Yang Ke showed an impatient expression, and along the way, Liu Sheng'er raised his face and kept nagging him to be friendly to the national spirit. Are you the kind of lord who makes trouble out of nothing and likes to stir up trouble? As the king, I am obviously the one who wants peace in the country the most, why don't you understand?

"I don't bring too many people, you let a few relatives drag the big snake, plus the boxes I prepared. ”

Thinking of the ghost grass in the box, Liu Sheng hesitated and said, "You really don't plan to harm people?"

"Besides, be careful that I beat you! Who's harmed, I'm not bored enough to do anything to a national spirit, right?"

And Yang Ke understood that yesterday it was the national spirit who came forward to rescue the army, pretending to lead the way in the name of Chi You, and consciously accepted the other party's favor in his heart. Although the appearance of the national spirit was a little unexpected, he didn't plan to come up and use the killer. At the very least, wait and see for a while before making a decision.

"And that big snake ......" Liu Sheng's expression was indescribable: "It's the first time we meet, why do you bother." ”

"It's the first time I've seen it, so I want to give this big gift. Yang Ke said meaningfully: "You must let people know who the owner of this Nine Palace City is." Alright, leave me alone, hurry up and take the brothers to dinner!"

After speaking, Yang Ke took eight relatives to the palace, pushing the wooden cage, holding the wooden box, and humming a mountain song in his mouth.

As early as when Yang Ke and his entourage entered the city, Yu Yuan received news that Ji Le was invited from Taizhen Building to the palace to meet Xia Jun.

"Don't worry, my lord, Xia Jun has a straightforward personality and will never do anything that harms you. ”

"Well, I know, I trust your judgment. Ji Le's mouth was very sweet, pinched a red mountain fruit the size of a fingernail, and said with a smile: "What's more, everyone is their own person, what do I have to worry about?"

It seemed that Ji Le's expression was calm and unguarded, and Yu Yu was a little relieved. She knows too well the character of her own bamboo horse, and there is an uncontrolled national spirit out of thin air, and the origin of her birth is unknown.

"I just hope that both of them are important people of the Xia Kingdom, and there must be no real conflict. Yu Yuan's gaze then fell on Cangjie, and she thought expectantly: Shi Huang's status is high, I hope he can stop him.

However, no matter how much Yu Yuan thought about it, it couldn't compare to the big gift that Yang Ke gave on the stage.

"Haha, Lord Guoling, I was in a hurry the day before yesterday, and I didn't have time to talk in detail. Since my lordship has come to my palace today, I can talk slowly when I go back. ”

Before anyone could enter, laughter began to sound from outside the temple.

Ji Le put away the hand holding the fruit, smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go to Taizhen Building to see me." ”

"Hehe......" Yang Ke walked in, saw the young man and Cangjie on the other side, his gaze stopped slightly, and then fell on Ji Le.

Cangjie's existence, he has listened to Yu Yuan's information. But the key is still this guy!

Observing Ji Le carefully, seeing that the other party didn't seem to have many injuries left, Yang Ke showed a look of surprise. He also unraveled his armor, wore a sword at his waist, and swaggered on the throne.

It is worth mentioning that when Ji Le came to the palace, he was also pushed to the main position by Yu Yuan. Now that the two of them are sitting together, Ji Le immediately felt the aura of divine power secretly rising on Yang Ke's body.

"How is the health of the national spirit?"

"Eat well, drink well, have a wide heart and a fat body, and other things are not humane. ”

Yang Ke's eyes flashed with a different color: Although, you struggled yesterday, and you should be all right? And even Yu Yuan and the others don't know?

He looked at Yu Yuan, showing an inquiring look. Yu Yu was hurriedly dazed, and finally burst out of a sentence: "Your Highness, try not to hold a sword or a sword in the palace of the royal court." ”

"Haha...... Forget, forget!" Yang Ke silently threw the sword on the table with the back of his head, pretending to be unintentional, and the tip of the sword was aimed at Ji Le.

Finished!

Yu Yu covered her face, this guy started again!

When the young man saw Yang Ke's demonstration, he sneered in his heart, weighed the eight-leaf fragrance around him, and wondered if he could directly smash Yang Ke's head and blossom with his throw.

The atmosphere on the field was weird, which made Shi Huang's expression helpless: Please, can you talk well?

"This sword is good. Ji Le was also angry after Yang Ke demonstrated against him. But in the end, he continued to take out a harmless expression of humans and animals, and took the initiative to pick up the sword: "I know that you still have a Qinglu sword in the country, so what is this sword called?"

"Chihong. ”

"Good name, it seems that you have drunk a lot of divine blood in the battle, right?" Flicking the sword body, Ji Le could feel a sharp sword intent pressing towards him.

"My lord—" Yu Yu was about to exclaim, but saw a blue light appear on Ji Le's body, and slowly wiped the sword qi, purifying all the grievances and evil qi on it.

"This is ......" Yang Ke recognized the spell cast by Ji Le, revealing a look of doubt. Doesn't it look like the secret art of the Spirit Palace?

Yu Yu looked shocked: Taiping Blessing Prayer Divine Tranquility Mantra? When did the adults learn the Taiping Sect's spells? Could it be Uncle Zhao and Uncle Qian?

Ji Le picked up the sword flower casually and said casually: "The sword is the head of a hundred soldiers, and it is a royal artifact." How can you fall into the evil way of killing? Since a man rules the country with a sword, he should do so. ”

Isn't it just a demonstration and pretending to be coerced? I'm afraid you won't succeed? Ji Le was smug in his heart: If you demonstrate with a sword, I will erase your sword. If you have the ability, you can call it again!

I have slain the god-killing power that I have accumulated before I kill the eighteen earth gods!" Yang Ke couldn't help roaring in his heart when he saw Ji Le's movements, and his face also showed a distressed expression. But immediately he straightened his face again, pretending not to care, just staring at his sword all the time, and his tone was relaxed and calm: "How can a mere artifact carry the royal road? ”

So, you are not a "human" national spirit, where do you come from, get out!

"That's right, the rise and fall of a country ultimately depends on 'people'. Three trees into a forest, three people together, the family and country affairs are the wishes of the people, if it is not for a king. Therefore, the sage cloud 'the monarch, the boat also, the common man, the water also.' The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. 'As a ruler, consider it carefully. ”

However, what is public opinion? Naturally, I, the spirit of the country nurtured from the hearts of the people, can symbolize a country even more? As for you, which is cool, where to stay! Guy who is destined to be overthrown by the people, I am too lazy to care about you when you are the ruler of the people.

Yang Ke had a reluctant smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at this sharp-toothed national spirit, and couldn't help but secretly regret it: I knew that I would bring Liu Sheng with me, so as not to save this guy from talking nonsense in front of me.

Looking at the bottom again, even Yu Yu showed a certain degree of agreement with Ji Le's words.

"Hey, he's obviously borrowing the words of the ancients, and whether it was Confucius himself or not, it's not necessarily. It's very likely that it is a pretense from later generations, why do you look like you are worshipping!"

Yang Ke felt aggrieved in his heart, and simply showed his killer feature. The smile that had been reluctant gradually melted away, and the smile became brighter and brighter. And in Ji Le's eyes, it was like a weasel, finally eyeing his prey.

"Ahem...... This time, I caught a big snake in the country of Tolei, and I plan to bring it back as a sacrifice for my ancestors. I don't know if you want to watch the ceremony with me?"

"Oh?" Ji Le was about to speak, when he saw Yang Ke order someone to push the wooden cage up, and there was a big snake entrenched inside, and the aura emitted by the snake was almost the same as his own.
